Chapter 15 A Wager of One Thousand Taels of Silver
Fengle County, Zhaojia Qianzhuang, in front of the handicap of the head of the gambling case, surrounded by people in three circles inside and three circles outside. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Among them, there are Bai Ding commoners, local tyrants and squires, and talented children. In Wu State, gambling is an elegant thing.
Even some officials who have a civil position will sometimes swagger and grab a handful of loose silver and throw it at the name of the examinee on the roulette wheel.
Zhaojia Qian Zhuang is the largest money village in Fengle County, and it deservedly undertakes the annual first gambling game.
On the public table, on the huge roulette wheel, there are thirty-one famous wooden cards. Originally, it was thirty yuan, but today another one was added temporarily, and everyone also looked at it strangely, and the new name wanted to see which candidate it was.
At a glance at this name, there was really no stranger to anyone present, it was the sister-in-law of Su Xiucai's family, Su Lin, a fifteen-year-old fool who had not yet enlightened his wisdom, and the people in the county euphemistically called him "Su Mutou".
"Oops...... Man, I said, didn't there be thirty candidates? Why did you suddenly add Su Mutou?"
Someone asked, but the guy gave this person a blank look and said, "Before this Su Mutou entered the examination room this morning, he dared to bet with my eldest son Zhao Shuang."
Therefore, the eldest prince satisfied him and asked me to add his rank to the roulette wheel at the head of the case. ”
"This is a strange thing! Su Mutou, who has not been enlightened for fifteen years, dares to compete with the eldest son of Zhao who is enlightened by Hanlin's words?"
"I'll see! I'll see! What are the odds of this Su Mutou......? One to one hundred, if this is to press him by one or two pieces of silver, won't he be able to get back a hundred taels of silver if he wins?"
"Go, go, go...... Do you think this silver is easy to earn? If you have the guts, you can press Su Mutou! Keep your blood and return, don't you see that everyone is pressing Zhao Dagongzi?
Although Zhao Dagongzi's odds are low, only one tael of silver can be earned, but this time Zhao Dagongzi's case is expected!"
......
This means that Su Lin's wooden cards have been hanging out for most of the day, but he hasn't even bet a penny. And the other thirty candidates, more or less someone pressed the silver. The number of people who pressed Zhao Shuang was the most, and the amount had reached tens of thousands of taels of silver.
followed by Qi Tianfang and several other candidates who had poems out of the county, although the chance was not great, there was also a chance to win the first place, and there were thousands of taels of silver pressed on it.
Then some candidates, there are not many people who are optimistic, although the odds are high, some even have a loss of twenty, but there are only scattered, hundreds of taels of silver bets.
And Surin is the most special among them, the odds are as high as one to one, but there is no one who is willing to bet a penny.
No one is a fool, no matter how high the odds are, Su Linzhong's case leader is not even a possibility in their opinion, and it is better to throw the money into the water, at least you can hear the pop.
"Quick...... Look, Su Mutou is coming. ”
Some of the gambling crowd had sharp eyes, and when they saw Su Lin pulling Su Ru over from a distance, they shouted.
"Hey! What is this Su Mutou doing here? Look at his odds of one to one, or look at the emptiness of no one to pressure him? This shows that Zhao Dagongzi wants to humiliate him in public, and he even runs to humiliate himself!"
Although these people laughed at Su Lin's stupidity that he couldn't even open his mind at the age of fifteen, there were still some people who sympathized with Su Lin.
"Man, I'm going to bet, in addition to the cash here, do you also accept other equivalent things? Look at my 'diligent' word, how much do you estimate, discount silver, all bet on me to win the case!"
Su Lin walked to the counter, didn't talk nonsense, took out the word 'diligence' in the center of his eyebrows, and pointed directly to the wooden sign representing himself and said.
"A holy word, the discount is generally a thousand taels of silver. The price of Qinzi can be slightly higher, 1,100 taels of silver, but ...... You are a mortgage bet, and you can only discount it by 1,000 taels of silver. ”
Although the guy was surprised that Su Lin even took out the word Qin and pledged himself, he still said truthfully according to the valuation rules of the money village.
However, Su Lin's behavior made the surrounding gamblers sigh for a while.
"Is this Su Mutou really stupid or fake stupid? He really thinks that he can win against Zhao Gongzi and win the first case? Even Zhao Gongzi himself, before the results come out, dare not say so sure that he can win the case!"
"I have opened my mind, it seems that this Su Mutou has been enlightened in the past few days. I feel that I am capable, and I am too arrogant. I don't want to think about it, the average Confucian scholar is about ten years old and enlightened, but he is fifteen years old, what is there to be proud of?"
"Hey, it's a pity that the word 'diligence' is a pity that even the word Lin rewarded Su Xiucai with the word 'diligence'. From this, it can be seen that Su Xiucai was so diligent and hard-working?
Su Xiucai, who died young, if he knew that he had given birth to such a stupid son, I don't know if he could still laugh at Jiuquan?"
......
Su Lin didn't care about the ridicule and discussion of these gamblers around him, only he knew it in his own heart.
In today's county test, he was all right in the morning, and in the afternoon, he was a poem of Dafu. If the head of this case is not him, then this county test is absolutely unfair.
"Okay! 1,000 taels is 1,000 taels, all on myself!"
Su Lin happily handed the word Qin to the buddy, who carefully loaded it in a copywriting jade box, sealed it into the warehouse, and then handed Su Lin a wooden card representing the betting information.
In this way, Surin's huge bet of 1,000 taels was completed.
Although the gamblers around him said that Su Lin was crazy, Su Lin smiled and pulled his sister Su Ru to walk home, and said to his sister Su Ru as he walked: "Ru'er, after three days, the results of the county test will come out."
We will have money, and when the time comes, my brother will give you big fish and meat every day, by the way, if you like to eat roast chicken, let's buy two in one go, eat one, and lose one......"
"Hee-hee...... Ru'er also believes that her brother will definitely be able to hit the head of the case. ”
Su Ru also happily followed her brother, a "local tyrant", and was so licked by Su Lin that she licked her lips, as if she would immediately enjoy good delicacies.
Not long after Su Lin left Zhao's Qianzhuang, Zhao Shuang, who had finished the county test, also came to Qianzhuang with his attendant and a few sycophants.
"Li Sihu, Fang Lansheng, and follow me to see the gambling game at the head of the case, before entering the examination room in the morning, I ordered someone to add the name of Su Lin's kid, and the odds are one to one hundred.
I just don't know, is there anyone who is optimistic about this Surin and dares to bet on him?"
Shaking an elegant folding fan, Zhao Shuang put on a handsome appearance, swaggering like the stars holding the moon in front of the Qian Zhuang gambling game, and the gamblers around him naturally recognized Zhao Shuang and consciously gave way.
Zhao Shuang wrote a poem out of the county in the examination room today, although there were three unanswered questions in the morning, but such a result is enough to laugh at the entire Fengle County, the name of the head of the case is not in his bag?
Therefore, Zhao Shuang's current mood is just like his name, so cool.
However, when Zhao Shuang saw Su Lin's name on the roulette wheel, there was a mark of one thousand taels of bets, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted at the guy: "Who is it?
"Prince! Yes...... It was Surin himself who took the bet. The man replied.
"Impossible! Su Lin is just the son-in-law of a down-and-out Xiucai family, and the family's property is said to be controlled by the Su Liu family, he usually can't even afford a piece of scallion pancake, where did he get a thousand taels of silver to make a bet?" Zhao Shuang said with a puzzled expression.
Seeing this, the man hurriedly explained: "Eldest prince, that Su Mutou really has no money. However, he pledged the word 'Qin' passed on to him by Su Xiucai and made a bet of 1,000 taels of silver. ”
"Hmph! So that's what happened, Su Lin, it looks like this is going to be ruined. I'm going to see, three days later, when he sees my name at the top of the case.
I lost at both ends, I see where did he Su Lin find another word 'diligence' to compensate me? I can't take it out when the time comes, don't blame me Zhao Shuang sent you to the county government prison......
Knowing what was going on, Zhao Shuang laughed happily instead.
Although Su Lin's odds are one to one hundred, if this thousand taels of silver really wins, he will have to pay a huge sum of 100,000 taels of silver, which is not a small amount of money for the entire Zhao family.
However, Zhao Shuang was not worried at all. Because of the case this time, he should be decided.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if there is an accident, he can't be the head of the case, and it will definitely not be Su Lin's turn to be a fifteen-year-old Su Mutou.
At this time, in the wild deep forest hundreds of miles away, with a high-pitched carving groan, Xiaoyu, the holy daughter of the rabbit demon clan, came on a carving slave, and in her hand was a poem transcribed by Zhang in timeless handwriting.
"Father, take a look. This "Autumn Words" is really a rare good poem. After reading it several times, Xiao Yu felt that the thoughts in her body were profound, and her holy power had increased a lot.
Even the power of the demon spirit has been sensed, if there are a few more poems like this, maybe Xiaoyu will be able to advance from the demon spirit to the goblin!"
Xiao Yu happily ran from the back of the carving slave to the side of the Rabbit Demon King Liluo, holding the "Autumn Words" in his hand, and said to the Rabbit Demon King Liluo, "Xiaoyu will read it to you!"
"Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely,
I say that autumn is better than spring......"
Xiao Yucai read the first two sentences, and the rabbit demon king Liluo couldn't help but take the poem, and read it with emotion: "When the cranes line the clouds in the clear sky, the poetry will be drawn to the blue sky." ”
"A good one will lead poetry to the blue sky!"
Holding this "Autumn Words" in his hand, the Rabbit Demon King Liluo's heart couldn't calm down for a long time, his heart seemed to have a comprehension, his thoughts flashed, and the power of the demon spirit actually surged, as if he was going to break through the demon king to the point of the demon emperor.
However, how could the Demon King reach the Demon Emperor so easily to break through? In the end, the Rabbit Demon King Liluo's demon spirit power calmed down, and he sighed: "It's still a little bit interesting!"
