Chapter 40: Living Up to Expectations and Winning
"Humph!" Lu Xiuzhi believed that Shangguan understood, "I'll buy that little peasant girl!" The world is like this, everyone looked down on it at first, and finally broke through! Today, I also have the privilege of being one of those discerning people! β
Zhu thought for a while, then waved at Hongyu, who understood and turned around and walked into the bedroom.
After a while, Hongyu took out a silver ticket of three hundred taels and handed it to Lu Xiuzhi.
Lu Xiuzhi happily took it, and Hongyu took out another five taels of silver, and said with a smile: "The master is so confident, by the way, let's take the slave and maid to make a fortune together!" β
"Hey, what a clever girl. You just wait for it to multiply tenfold or eightfold, and then pay you back thirty or forty taels! Lu Xiuzhi threw away the broken silver in his hand, "It's not early, I'll bet again tomorrow!" β
After Lu Xiuzhi finished speaking, he went out.
Zhu couldn't calm down, and his heart was like a cat that had been scratching.
If Shangguan understood the true spirit, then just three hundred taels would become more than two thousand taels!
Can...... If you buy another 10,000 taels, it will be 780,000 taels!
There was such a great opportunity in front of her, and she could obviously get seventy or eighty thousand taels with her hand, but because she was reluctant, there were only more than two thousand taels at that time...... That's a loss of 80,000 taels!
That's eighty thousand!
She has lived so long and never touched so much silver, and if she misses it, maybe she won't be able to touch so much money in the future!
But...... If you don't win, then even the pants will be exported!
However, if she only buys three hundred taels and wins, she will regret it for the rest of her life!
The more Zhu thought about it, the more tangled he became.
β¦β¦
At noon the next day, Lu Xiuzhi finished his family affairs and prepared to go out to bet.
"Wait." No, when passing by the small hall, Zhu stopped him, "I'll go down with my money in a while." β
"Oh?" Lu Xiuzhi smiled, "You even play." Okay, how much are you going to play? β
"Fifteen thousand!"
"What do you say?" Lu Xiuzhi's eyes widened: "Ten thousand...... Five thousand taels? You are crazy? β
"You're crazy! Fifteen thousand taels, even if the odds are only one to two, I can net more than 10,000 taels! If you want to bet, bet big! β
"But...... What if you lose? β
"Wasn't you sure you would win yesterday?"
"Definitely...... But there's always a just in case. β
"Look at your guts, you're smaller than a mouse! It is said that the bold will be supported to death, and the timid will be starved to death, and this is what you are talking about. Zhu snorted, "Moreover, yesterday I asked people to go to Baicao Nunnery to inquire clearly, that little peasant girl really played chess with Master Jianyue and won!" β
"Is that really the case?" Lu Xiuzhi was excited, "Is the person who told you reliable?" β
"It's Master Jianyun in the hermitage." Zhu smirked.
Master Jianyun is the younger sister of Master Jianyue, and she has a good relationship with the Zhu family.
"Seeing Yun Shitai said that there was a little peasant girl who went up the mountain to worship the Buddha, and learned that Jianyue had excellent chess skills, so she had to challenge it. Seeing that the Moon Master was too casual to agree. Seeing that the moon master has a hobby of playing chess with pilgrims in peacetime, all the nuns in the nunnery did not take this game of chess to heart, and no one watched. β
"Who knows, in less than half an hour, I will lose when I see Master Yue! At that time, there were only three or five onlookers, and everyone didn't want this matter to spread the word, so they all kept silent, so as not to damage the reputation of Mrs. Jianyue. β
"Did Master Yun tell you this news personally?" Lu Xiuzhi looked excited.
"Of course."
"It's gone!" Lu Xiuzhi was so anxious that he walked around the house.
If Lu Xiuzhi's confidence in the little peasant girl yesterday was seventy percent, now he is full of faith!
Fifteen thousand taels, don't say how many odds there are, as long as it can be doubled, they will make a fortune!
"But...... Where did we get more than 10,000 taels? β
Zhu gritted his teeth fiercely: "Zhen'er's wedding date is sixteen, which is half a month. Let's take Zhen'er's dowry first, and redeem it when we win the money. When the time comes, we will add another 120,000 taels to her, and she will thank us even in her dreams! β
The husband and wife made a decision on this, and immediately asked Hongyu to secretly find someone to pull Lu Zhen'er's dowry.
Zhu thought about it, but it was not enough, so he was ruthless, took out all his savings and jewelry over the years, and quietly shipped Lu Zhen'er's dowry out.
Now the Zhu family's housekeeper, even if such a large number of things are transported out of the house, there is no hindrance.
Zhu and Lu Xiuzhi came to the largest, most honest and fair pawnshop in Beijing - Jujin Building.
But these dowries were sold in a hurry, and the amount was large, and the things that were originally worth 15,000 taels were only 10,000 taels.
The Zhu couple didn't care too much, after all, they weren't dead, and they would be redeemed in a few days.
After the money was in hand, he immediately went to the dark shop to place a bet.
casually inquired, now the odds of the little peasant girl have gone to nine to one!
As long as you buy this 10,000 taels, you can receive 90,000 taels in a few days!
The husband and wife were so excited that they were already laughing ducks.
obviously spent a full 10,000 taels, but the husband and wife were as happy as if they had won the jackpot.
No, it's about to turn 10,000 into 90,000, and this is of course the jackpot!
The two also went to the restaurant to have two drinks to celebrate.
β¦β¦
Xie Jiaββ
"I've really never seen anyone spend 10,000 taels at once and be so happy." Xing'er looked funny and reported what she saw to Lu Shuyao.
Lu Shuyao sat crookedly on the couch, smiling, and turning around playfully with her big eyes.
At this time in her previous life, she had already married into the Rongguo Marquis Mansion and was newly married to Yan'er, but He Ziwei snubbed and humiliated her every day.
She was depressed, and Dong'er and Rushui were afraid that she would be sick, so they tried every means to distract her and make her happy.
At that time, Dong'er told her a joke.
said that on the first day of the fourth lunar month, there was a very special competition!
One is Qiao Shurong, the first talented woman in the capital, and the other is a small peasant girl who ran out of the col.
At that time, there were different opinions, some said that this little peasant girl was not self-sufficient, and some said that the little peasant girl dared to challenge, there must be hole cards, maybe she was a master.
Actually, there is also a saying that the little peasant girl won Qiao Shurong's master Jianyue Shitai.
Anyway, there's everything to say.
But in the end, Qiao Shurong, the first talented woman, lived up to expectations and won!
The little peasant girl instantly became a joke in Beijing.
Two days later, on the first day of April.
Lu Shuyao came to Jinyu Courtyard to ask for peace, and then went out with Sister Xie Mingzhu.
In the carriage, Lu Shuyao sat on one side, and Sister Xie Mingzhu sat on the side.
"Sister-in-law is dressed so elegantly today." Xie Mingzhu looked Lu Shuyao up and down.
Lu Shuyao wore a homely blue pear blossom moon dress, and only wore a peach blossom hairpin on her head.
On the other hand, the Xie sisters, the dress is really bright and dazzling.
Xie Mingzhu was dressed in a red gold placket, a tender green flowered skirt, and his arms were holding a peach-colored shawl.
A golden chrysanthemum is inserted on the left and right sides of the head, which is golden and extremely dazzling.
