Chapter 13: Betting

A lady next to her heard the conversation between the two, covered her lips and sneered, He Wanying was so angry that her chest rose and fell violently, and the handkerchief in her hand was about to be torn by her.

At this time, on the stairs on the second floor, a woman was walking down the wooden ladder with a stumbling staircase, and asked in a loud voice, "Xiao Jinyue, I heard that you can watch the sky, is the rain really about to stop?" ”

Xiao Jinyue looked over and turned out to be the county lord of Minghua.

It turned out that she also came to Fengxiang Pavilion today, because in the private room on the second floor, she didn't notice when Xiao Jinyue came to Fengxiang Pavilion, and she only knew it by listening to the waiting maid just now. It's just that the anxious county lord Minghua hasn't heard the maid tell her clearly, and only heard that Xiao Jinyue can observe the sky and ran down in a hurry, so he didn't know that she was still rubbing with others.

"I've seen the county lord." Xiao Jinyue put down the hairpin in his hand and saluted.

Lord Minghua quickly stepped forward to help her up, and asked with sparkling eyes, "Jinyue, do you really know how to observe the sky?" Do you know when the rain will stop? It rained for a month, and my mother wouldn't let me go out, and I was bored in the house every day, and I felt like I was about to become a mushroom growing out of the rain. ”

Xiao Jinyue couldn't help but joke with her, "The county lord can't change into mushrooms, at most she is a little girl picking mushrooms." ”

"A little girl picking mushrooms?" Lord Minghua's eyes lit up, "You said this, I'm really looking forward to going to the mountain to experience the fun of picking mushrooms." ”

"Xiao Jinyue, don't talk about him left and right, the county lord asked you when the rain would stop, why do you always avoid answering, could it be that you don't know how to watch the sky at all, just bragging, right?" He Wanying next to her was unwilling to be ignored by Xiao Jinyue and Minghua County Lord, and couldn't help jumping out.

Xiao Jinyue glanced at her casually, "What if I answer?" ”

He Wanying saw a bunch of ladies around her, and didn't want to miss the opportunity to make Xiao Jinyue ugly, "Then you say, when will this rain stop?" ”

"If you let me say it, I'll say, which green onion are you?" Xiao Jinyue squinted at her.

Xiao Jinyue was scared, and the county lord of Minghua didn't know the friction between the two, so he looked at Xiao Jinyue with curious eyes.

There was a lady next to her who laughed out with a "poof".

Everyone looked at her curiously, and some girls who understood it also covered their mouths and chuckled.

Not to mention, that He Wanying is wearing a green dress and a white dress today, and she really looks like a walking green onion.

He Wanying, who understood from other people's laughter and sight, suddenly became so angry that her face turned red and white.

How could He Wanying, who was about to vomit blood, be willing to be made a laughing stock, she vowed to drag Xiao Jinyue into the water, and angrily pointed to the jewelry she had just bought on the counter and said, "Xiao Jinyue, do you dare to bet with me, if the rain stops in three days, I will give you these three pairs of heads, if you lose, you will go to Juwei Pavilion to set up wine, and kneel down to apologize to me in public, how about it?" ”

Everyone looked in the direction of her finger, and there were three sets of gorgeous yellow heads on the counter.

Xiao Jinyue sighed in her heart, if she didn't accept the free jewelry sent to the door, wouldn't she be a little sorry for Si Ming Xingjun?

With a roll of her eyes, Xiao Jinyue squinted at He Wanying angrily and said, "What you said is true, have you finished paying the silver for those three heads?" ”

He Wanying held her head high and said, "Of course I paid it, three pairs of heads, but it is worth three thousand eight hundred taels, I don't believe you ask the shopkeeper." ”

I don't know when I walked over to see the lively shopkeeper, and in the face of everyone's eyes, he nodded, "That's right, the three heads of Miss He have already paid the silver." ”

He Wanying sneered, "How about it, Xiao Jinyue, do you dare to bet?" ”

Lord Minghua secretly tugged at Xiao Jinyue's sleeve worriedly, and whispered secretly, "Jinyue, are you sure?" If not, I'll help you turn her away. ”

Xiao Jinyue's heart warmed, patted her hand comfortingly, and turned to He Wanying, "Do you really want to bet, isn't this good?" ”

He Wanying noticed a hint of hesitation in her tone, and she was overjoyed, and immediately said excitedly, "Of course it's true, what, don't you dare?" As I said earlier, you don't know how to watch the sky at all, but you have to be grandstanding. ”

Xiao Jinyue hesitated and said, "Forget it, I'll tell you when the rain will stop, but don't gamble, after all, it's ......."

He Wanying saw that she didn't want to gamble, thinking that she was afraid that she would kneel down in public to apologize if she lost, where could she retreat, "Since you said in public that you want to bet, how can you regret it." With so many people watching, even if we are women, we can't be untrustworthy. ”

A bunch of ladies were watching with relish, and suddenly a surprised man's voice came in from behind, "Hey, why are so many people gathered here?" Is there something going on with such a lively scene? ”

Everyone turned their heads to see that it was a handsome man who spoke, and there was a man half a head taller than him and an extraordinary momentum, who was unhurriedly putting away the bamboo umbrella in his hand.

The two of them, one fast and one slow, walked towards the store.

All the ladies curtsied at the two men with red faces, and in front of everyone's eyes, Xiao Jinyue was not good at being special, so she had to bend her knees with everyone, "I've seen the prince of Zhenguo, and I've seen the prince of Nan'an." ”

The prince of Zhenguo and the prince of Nan'an stepped forward and bowed slightly to everyone casually.

"Brother, why did you come here so soon?" The county lord of Minghua glared at his brother coquettishly, why are you doing so fast, she hasn't finished the play yet.

Nan'an Shizi touched her head dotingly, "What, think I'm too early?" I promised my mother that I would send you back to the house on time. What are you talking about here, so lively? ”

When He Wanying saw these two outstanding-looking men, her eyes rolled, she thought about it, quickly said about the bet, and said, "The two of you came just in time, and I also ask the prince of Zhenguo and the prince of Nan'an to testify for us by the way." ”

Xiao Jinyue pulled the corners of her mouth, it was not enough for so many ladies to testify, but she also had to pull up two men.

Let's gamble, just gamble, just do a good deed every day, and rescue the poor people in the north of the city who are homeless and soaked in the rain all day long.

Taking advantage of the presence of the two noble sons, He Wanying said, "Xiao Jinyue, let me ask you again, do you want to bet with me?" ”

Oh, it's obvious that she has always wanted to gamble, why is it now that she wants to bet with her?

It's really going to be a rake.

Xiao Jinyue glanced at everyone hesitantly, and then said in a hesitant manner, "That's ...... Okay, but ...... There is no basis for words, so let's make a written note. ”

The prince of Zhenguo glanced at Xiao Jinyue vaguely, but caught a flash of cunning in her eyes, and originally wanted to stop the words, but somehow, swallowed it back.

"Stand up." Xiao Jinyue put forward the written evidence as proof, He Wanying was not worried, but was in the middle of the heart, she was very confident in this bet, after all, the Qin Tianjian in the court had calculated, and the rain would not stop for ten days, otherwise the emperor would not plan to lead the prince and the civil and military officials to hold a ceremony to worship the heavens.

She originally saw that the county lord of Minghua was friendly with Xiao Jinyue's slut, and she was worried that if Xiao Jinyue lost, the county lord of Minghua would help her intercede. With the written evidence as proof, Xiao Jinyue's slut knelt down this time.

If she wins the bet, she will definitely humiliate her in public, so as to make her angry.
