The bet between Meng Hongjin, the daughter of Chengxuan's ambassador's residence, and Jiang Li, the daughter of the first and second daughter, caused an uproar in the city of Yanjing. Even in the most remote alleys, the simplest taverns, whenever someone talks about new things in recent times, some people will talk about it.
Large and small gambling houses even started to set up gambling, regardless of age, always buy a wave.
Three people were drinking tea at the location of Wangxian Tower as usual.
The scribe in Qingshan looked at the endless crowd at the gate of the opposite gambling house, and smiled: "The new gambling appointments attract people to follow suit."
"But they are all leaning to one side." Sergeant Kong Liu shook his head and said, "These people are crazy, and the arrogant purchase announcement made the lady in the house win. No one bought Miss Jiang Er. Tsk tusk, it's really ugly." He drank a cup of tea, and he looked as if he was drinking. He patted the table and said proudly: "I am most pitiful and cherish jade. I can't see others bullying the weak, Wen Ji," he greeted the guards standing outside. He took out twelve taels of silver in his arms: "Help me go downstairs and buy Miss Jiang Er to win!"
"Don't tell me, you are very righteous." The scribe in Qingshan helped his beard and said with a smile: "You only spent a hundred taels of silver to win the Meng Hongjin half an hour ago."
Hearing this, Wen Ji immediately showed contempt. Hey, spend a hundred taels of silver to buy Miss Jiang Er, and spend a hundred taels of silver to buy Miss Meng's family. Kong Liu clearly makes a profit without losing money. He is no different from those outside, and he has to pretend to be.
Kong Liu became furious, looking at the blue-shirted scribe, and said angrily: "The surname is Lu, why do you know where I am going, you are a mouse?"
Lu Ji, who was the scribe in the blue shirt, did not answer Kong Liu's question. The person who looked to the side asked, "What do you think of the Lord?"
Ji Heng raised his eyelids and glanced lazily downstairs, and said, "Not interested."
"It's not that I said," Kong Liu said, "Although I also appreciate Miss Jiang Er's courage to place a bet, it was the school exam of Mingyitang. Alas, my father wanted to send me to Mingyitang. My mother was driven out without touching the door. Is Mingyitang accessible to ordinary people?" Kong Liu smacked his lips, "The little lady of the Meng family has also stayed in Mingyitang for a few years, Jiang The second lady is a newcomer. It’s just a newcomer. The place where Ms. Jiang Er stayed before was an ancestral hall. Don’t say that the ancestral hall is still a romantic ancestral hall. Better than the little lady of the Meng family, that's a ghost."
"Didn't agree." Lu Ji said: "Since Miss Jiang Er dared to say the bet, especially the three bets, the bets have increased layer by layer, and there must be a sound. Otherwise, why should she make such a move and make trouble for herself."
"You are usually smart, so why are you stupid now?" Kong Liu laughed and said, "Ms. Jiang Er said that, then she meant to say something ruthlessly when she was at war with us. The momentum should be overwhelming first! How can there be so much profound meaning, you scholars, your thinking is so complicated!"
The last sentence made Lu Ji suffocate not lightly. After a long while, he spit out: "You can't play the piano against cows."
"Roosters can't talk to ducks." Kong Liu sneered.
Ji Heng braced his chin in a boring manner, and it was such a random movement that he did, and it was quite beautiful.
"My lord," Lu Ji looked at Ji Heng again, "Ye Shijie's affairs, because of Ms. Jiang Er's relationship, disrupted the adult's plan. Although I don't know if it was accidental, Ms. Jiang Er doesn't seem to be rumored. This is also true. The permission becomes an opportunity, it is better to wait and see the changes. The Jiang family must not make mistakes in the plan, and Ms. Jiang Er can be an introduction."
Kong Liu wondered: "Ms. Jiang Er is not taken seriously in the Jiang family. How does this affect the Jiang family's decision?"
Lu Ji quietly waited for the answer from the opposite person.
After a while, Ji Heng said, "Jiang’s play has not started yet, so don’t worry." He beckoned, Wen Ji stepped forward and leaned forward, Ji Heng said: "Take ten thousand taels of silver and go to Yanjing. The biggest gambling house."
Kong Liu's eyes lit up: "Do you plan to take this opportunity to make a fortune?"
"You have to see the end when you watch the show," Ji Heng chuckled, "Go, buy Miss Jiang Er to win."
…
Jiang Li didn't know that Yanjing City was making a lot of noise about his gambling appointment with Meng Hongjin. Because from that day, she has been in Jiang's house "ready to check with peace of mind".
However, it is related to the reputation of the entire Jiang Mansion. Once Jiang Li's move is spread out, it will be a major event for Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Yuanbai.
In the Wanfeng Hall, Mrs. Jiang stared at Jiang Li with complicated eyes, and asked, "Girl Li, what do you want to do?"
"Mother is angry." Ji Shuran said cautiously: "After all, Li'er is young and easily impulsive, so he will make a bet with others."
"You are young," Jiang Yuanbo said coldly: "It's already time to die, and you will be able to talk about your relatives in a few days, and you still don't know how to advance or retreat when doing things!"
In Wanfengtang, there is only a big room. Although it was related to the entire Jiang Mansion, it was Jiang Li that had the problem.
"Maybe the second elder sister is well-informed." Jiang Youyao did not hesitate to add another fire. "Only then can I respond to Miss Meng's bet with such confidence, and even make a request."
It's okay not to mention this. When he mentions this, Jiang Yuanbai's heart is even more angry. He is the least fond of arrogant people in his life, especially those who have no strengths and arrogance. Looking at Jiang Li, his gaze was full of harsh words, "I know your writing is good, but if you think that you can pass the school test of Mingyitang this way, you are very wrong! Don't sit and watch the sky, Jiang's family is serious. In self-knowledge, you don’t even know yourself, and you dare to get the first place. You know, you lose not only your lifetime reputation, but also the reputation of my Jiang family. If you lose, the whole Jiang family will be People poke their spine!"
Jiang Limian is very respectful, with timely guilt, but he is absent-minded in his heart. Jiang Yuanbai and the others think that they do not know the sky and the kindness is excusable, after all, they don't know that they are not the real Miss Jiang Er. If you are in a different place, if you face such a situation, you will only find it ridiculous.
Jiang Li lowered his eyebrows and said, "Father, it was me who was wrong. I shouldn't be upset for a while, but now that this has happened, everyone in the city knows that canceling the gambling appointment is also being laughed at. It is better to try my best if you are being laughed at. With one go, there is still a hint of winning."
When everyone stayed, they didn't expect Jiang Li to admit his mistake so readily. And her attitude of admitting mistakes was so good that Jiang Yuanbai couldn't even continue to reprimand her.
Jiang Li calmed down and learned from Xue Zhao, "Acknowledging mistakes is to be sincere and straightforward, and never look back when you make a mistake." This attitude is used to be useful.
Anyway, dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water, so only dead horses can be used as live horse doctors.
