Chapter 106: Gambling
Hearing that Jiang Fuyuan wanted to gamble for money, Wen Jinhe thought he had heard it wrong, and repeated in a strange tone: "Money? β
Jiang Fuyuan nodded: "Yes, money, silver, or you can use gold." β
Jinshan is better.
The two Dao attendants were silent, if the bet was money, then winning or losing had nothing to do with the face of the Dao Palace, only about Wen Jinhe's purse.
When they looked at Wen Jinhe at the same time, their eyes were full of pity.
Wen Jinhe didn't notice the eyes of the two, he was still shocked by Jiang Fuyuan's behavior of wanting to bet on money.
Although the people in the Taoist palace love money, try all kinds of ways to compliment the emperor, and do everything possible to take out money from the treasury to cultivate Taoist temples and build Dharma altars, but no matter how much they love money, Taoist priests have to say that money is something outside the body to fill the faΓ§ade, and as people in the Taoist gate, Taoist cultivation and immortality are their ultimate goals.
Jiang Fuyuan can gamble on magic weapons, natural treasures, and even dignity and life, but she actually said that she wanted to gamble money?
Wen Jinhe was incredulous, the corners of his mouth twitched and said to Jiang Fuyuan: "You, you are superficial!" β
Jiang Fuyuan's face did not change, and he glanced at him lazily: "If you don't dare to bet, I won't laugh at you." β
"I didn't dare to bet!" Wen Jinhe squinted back, raised his chin and mocked, "I didn't expect you to be so vulgar." β
"Ahem." An old voice interjected horizontally, it was Wen Jinhe's master, the Dao Palace Master Gu Qingzhen, "Jin He, don't be rude in front of Yuan Fei Daojun. β
He took a step forward and said with a smile: "Mu Xiangu, I am still young, and I am ignorant and offended you, please forgive me." β
The two quarreled for so long before he spoke up, and his partiality was clearly revealed.
Jiang Fuyuan glanced at Gu Qingzhen: "Then your apprentice is very anxious, and he is obviously old at a young age." β
She didn't pay attention to Gu Qingzhen anymore, and asked Wen Jinhe directly: "How much is the bet?" β
Wen Jinhe glanced at his master, and saw that Gu Qingzhen was also looking back at him, still with a kind and kind smile on his face, as if he was not affected by Jiang Fuyuan's words.
He straightened his waist and asked Jiang Fukite proudly: "How much do you want to bet?" β
Jiang Fuyuan's eyes lit up: "Is it as much as I say?" β
For the financial resources, Wen Jinhe is confident, the monthly money issued by the Dao Palace is according to the rank, as the palace master's closed disciple, he can have 10,000 taels of silver per month.
Even in Jiudian, 10,000 taels of silver is the income of ordinary people for a year, so he replied arrogantly: "It's all up to the immortal gu." β
This month's regular money just arrived the day before yesterday, and he hasn't had time to go out to spend it, so now is the time to gamble with confidence.
The corners of Jiang Fuyuan's lips were hooked, and his eyes carefully examined Wen Jinhe's face.
The roots of the mountain are broken, the six relatives are missing, the two warehouses of Lu food are low, and the people who look up to them are snorting.
It's not a smooth look.
Jiang Fuyuan looked at his wealth palace again, discouraged, spending money like running water, and his ability to store money was extremely low.
To put it bluntly, he is a person who spends as much as he wants, and does not have much savings at all.
Wen Jinhe was furious by her, especially when Jiang Fuyuan sighed deeply after watching it for a long time.
He couldn't help but whisper: "What do you see! β
Jiang Fuyuan reluctantly spit out a number: "Ten thousand." β
Wen Jinhe: "What 10,000? β
Jiang Fukite: "Gambling, 10,000 taels of silver." β
Wen Jinhe was stunned, he just had 10,000 taels.
The figures reported by Jiang Fuyuan were not only stunned by Wen Jinhe, but also by other officials at the banquet.
A few people began to talk in low voices.
"Ten thousand taels, that's not a small amount."
"Yes, it takes more than a year for people to work day and night to earn this amount, right? It's too much to bet on......"
Chi Dongchuan frowned, the Taoist priest of the Taoist Palace made a bet with people to use 10,000 taels as a lottery, and now the northwestern states have just experienced natural disasters, and the people are starving, waiting for the relief money from the imperial court.
I'm afraid that this news will ruin the reputation of the royal family......
Thinking of this, he was just about to step forward to dissuade him, but Zhu Wenyan secretly grabbed his arm.
"Young master......" He turned around, puzzled why Zhu Wenyan stopped him.
Zhu Wenyan only shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Second prince, no." β
At this moment, there were a few loud laughs from the dragon chair, and Yuan Fei Daojun waved his sleeves: "The Golden Crane Immortal is shy in his pocket?" It doesn't matter, if you lose, I will give you this 10,000 taels of silver! β
At this time, Zhu Wenyan's brows also wrinkled into Sichuan characters.
The lottery head of the Daogong and the bet with people has to be taken out of the treasury, Your Majesty has forgotten that a few days ago, the front of the palace and the military department cried together that the treasury was empty, and the food and grass money of the front-line soldiers were almost gone?!
"Wait." Jiang Fuyuan said unhappily, "Why does Your Majesty have to pay for him if he loses, is Your Majesty also ready to help him carry his burden after he bears it?" β
As she spoke, she looked at Wen Jinhe meaningfully: "People's lives are different, so it's better not to bear them for others at will." β
Her cool words instantly reminded the emperor of the catastrophe that Emperor Gaozu said in his dream.
Could it be that he paid 10,000 yuan for Wen Jinhe, and he would also bear part of the burden for Wen Jinhe, or should his calamity be Wen Jinhe's?
Thinking of this possibility, his eyes when he looked at Wen Jinhe were much colder, and he said lightly: "Immortal Gu's words are reasonable, then the Golden Crane Immortal Elder will pay this ten thousand taels himself." β
Wen Jinhe: ???
Did he say yes? How did you finalize the bet of 10,000 taels?
And they say as if he has already lost and the next step is to pay for it.
Isn't there anyone in charge?!
He turned his gaze for help to his master, Gu Qingdao.
Jiang Fuyuan also followed his gaze, but found that Gu Qingdao had been looking at him.
So she simply looked at Gu Qingdao's face.
What a big rich man!
Jiang Fuyuan's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a reassuring smile.
Seeing her suddenly smiling at herself, Gu Qingdao touched her face and asked in confusion, "Why is Fairy Gu laughing?" Is there something on Lao Dao's face? β
Jiang Fuyuan nodded: "You look very rich." β
Gu Qingdao touched his face for a moment, lowered his eyelids and slowly explained: "The Dao Palace is blessed by Yuan Fei Daojun, and it is not subject to mundane hardships such as food and clothing. β
After a pause, he raised his eyelids again and looked at Jiang Fuyu: "If the fairy aunt is willing, she can place an order in the Dao Palace and receive the grace of heaven with everyone in ......the Dao Palace."
"Not necessarily." Jiang Fuyuan interrupted him, she was not interested in continuing to talk nonsense with him, and said bluntly, "Since you are his master, you are a teacher for one day and a father for life, it is normal for Lao Tzu to pay for his son's gambling money, right?" β
Without waiting for Gu Qingzhen to answer, she continued to increase the amount of betting: "My son can pay 10,000 yuan, how can Lao Tzu double it, 50,000 taels." β
All:...... Is doubling counted like that?
What was even more unexpected was that Gu Qingdao really nodded in agreement.
I only heard him laugh and said: "Okay, since the fairy girl and the apprentice want to try to draw a talisman, then for the sake of fairness, you have to choose a talisman that neither of you has ever drawn." β
"Lao Dao got a new Taoist secret book yesterday, and there is a symbol named Shangqing on it, why don't you use the supernatant as a test topic?"
As soon as he said this, everyone present except for the Dao Palace secretly spit on him.
said that it was the talisman seal on his new secret book, who knows if he had secretly taught his apprentice about the trick of drawing talismans, even if Wen Jinhe drew the correct supernatant talisman and won Jiang Fuyuan, it would be a victory.
Everyone turned their heads sideways and looked at Jiang Fuyuan, who was still sitting in the chair.
Jiang Fuyuan didn't seem to notice everyone's worried gaze, looked up at Wen Jinhe, who was smug, and quickly looked away, fixing his gaze on Gu Qingzhen.
She lightly lifted her lips: "You swear, you are not allowed to rely on the account if you lose, otherwise the sky will thunder." β
Thank you to all the babes who voted! Love you guys!
