Chapter 59

The gambling agreement between Meng Hongjin, the daughter of Chengxuan's family, and Jiang Li, the daughter of Shoufu Di, caused an uproar in Yanjing city. Even in the most remote alleys and the most humble pubs, whenever someone talks about recent news, someone will talk about it with relish.

Gambling houses, large and small, even began to set up gambling, no matter old or young, always buy a wave.

At the normal position of wangxianlou, three people were drinking tea.

The scholar in green shirt looked at the endless crowd at the gate of the gambling house opposite and said with a smile, "the gambling appointment is fresh, which attracts people one after another."

"But they are all one-sided." Kong Liu, a sergeant in armor, shook his head and said, "these people are crazy. They buy Chengxuan all the time to make the eldest lady win. No one buys Miss Jiang er. Tut Tut, it's really ugly." After drinking a cup of tea, he looked chic as if he were drinking. He patted the table and said proudly, "I'm the most merciful person, and I can't see others holding strong, bullying and discipline." he called the bodyguard standing outside and took out ten liang of silver from his arms: "help me go downstairs and buy Miss Jiang Er to win!"

"Don't say that you are very righteous." The scholar in green shirt helped his beard, smiled and said, "you only spent onehundred liang of silver on Meng Hongjin half an hour ago."

Hearing this, Wen Ji immediately showed disdain. Well, spend ten liang of silver to buy Miss Jiang ER and 100 liang of silver to buy Miss Meng Jia. Kong Liu is obviously sure to make a profit without losing. He is no different from those outside, and he has to pretend.

Kong Liu was angry and looked at the green shirt scribe angrily. "Surnamed Lu, why do you feel my whereabouts clearly? You are the essence of mice?"

Lu Ji, the scholar in green shirt, didn't answer Kong Liu's question. Looking at the person on one side, he asked, "what do you think?"

Ji Xuan raised her eyelids and glanced lazily downstairs, saying, "I'm not interested."

"It's not me," Kong Liu said. "Although I also appreciate Miss Jiang er's courage to bet, it's the school examination of Mingyi hall. Oh, my father also wanted to send me to Mingyi hall. I was kicked out without touching my mother's door. Can ordinary people enter Mingyi hall?" Kong Liu smacked his mouth. "At least the little lady of the Meng family has stayed in Mingyi hall for several years. Miss Jiang Er is a newcomer, and it's just a newcomer. Before, Miss Jiang Er stayed in an nunnery. Don't say that the nunnery is still a romantic nunnery. Even if the incense is booming, the female nun is comparable to the gentleman who came out of the palace? If Miss Jiang Er can beat the little lady of the Meng family, it's a ghost."

"Disagree." Lu Ji said, "since Miss Jiang Er dares to say the bets, especially the three bets, the bets have increased layer by layer, and the ground is loud, she must rely on it. Otherwise, why should she make trouble for herself?"

"You usually look smart. Why are you stupid at this time?" Kong Liu laughed and said, "Miss Jiang er said so, then she will talk hard when fighting with us, and the momentum will be overwhelming first! How can there be so much meaning? You scholars, your thoughts are so complicated!"

Lu Ji choked at the last sentence. After a long time, he spit out a sentence: "don't play the piano against the cow."

"A rooster cannot talk to a duck." Kong Liu retorted.

Ji Heng supported his chin in boredom. Even such a casual action, which was done by him, was also quite aesthetic.

"My Lord," Lu Ji looked at Ji Heng again, "the matter of Ye Shijie has disrupted the adult's plan due to the relationship between Miss Jiang er. Although I don't know whether it was accidental, Miss Jiang Er doesn't seem to be brainless. This matter may also become an opportunity. It's better to wait and see what happens. The Jiang family can't make mistakes in the plan, and Miss Jiang Er can become an introduction."

Kong Liu wondered, "Miss Jiang Er is not valued 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 Chen said, "the Jiang family's play hasn't started yet. Don't worry." He waved, Wenji leaned forward, and Ji said, "take 10000 liang of silver and go to the largest gambling house in Yanjing."

Kong Liu's eyes lit up: "are you going to take this opportunity to make a lot of money?"

"See the end of the play," Ji Heng chuckled, "go and buy Miss Jiang Er to win."

……

Yanjing city made a lot of noise about its gambling with Meng Hongjin, and Jiang Li didn't know it. Since that day, she has been "relieved to prepare for verification" in the Jiang mansion.

However, it is related to the reputation of the whole Jiang family. Once Jiang Li's move is spread to old lady Jiang and Yuan Bai, it is a big deal.

In the evening Phoenix hall, Mr. Jiang stared at Jiang Li with very complicated eyes and asked, "girl Li, what do you want to do?"

"Don't be angry." Ji shuran carefully said, "pear is young and impulsive after all, so she will make a bet with people."

"Young," said Jiang Yuanbai Leng, "it's too late. In a few days, you can reach the age of matchmaking. You still don't know how to advance or retreat!"

In the evening Phoenix hall, there is only one big room. Although it is related to the whole Jiang family, it is Jiang Li who has the accident after all.

"I'm not sure the second sister is ready." Jiang Youyao did not hesitate to add a fire, "only then can she respond to Miss Meng's gambling appointment with such confidence, and even make a request."

It's good not to mention this. Jiang Yuanbai's heart is even angrier when he mentions this. He dislikes conceited people most in his life, especially those who have no strength. Looking at Jiang Li, there was full of criticism, "I know your handwriting is good, but if you think you can pass the school examination of mingyitang in this way, you are very wrong! Don't sit back and watch the sky. The yuan family focuses on self-knowledge. You don't even know it, and you dare to dream of winning the top. You know, you lose not only your lifetime reputation, but also my yuan family's reputation. If you lose, the whole yuan family will be stabbed!"

Jiang Li is very respectful, with a timely apology, but her heart is absent-minded. Jiang Yuanbai and others think that they are excusable for not knowing the greatness of heaven and earth. After all, they don't know that they are not the real second Miss Jiang. In a different place, if you face such a situation, you will only feel that this matter is ridiculous.

Jiang Li lowered her eyebrows and said, "Dad, it's my fault. I shouldn't be angry for a moment, but now it's all over the city. It's also known that canceling the gambling appointment is also laughed at by people. People laugh at it anyway. It's better to try your best, and there's still a chance of winning."

Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect Jiang Li to admit his mistake so readily. And her attitude of admitting her mistake is so good that Jiang Yuanbai can't even continue to scold her.

Jiang Li was calm, and learned from Xue Zhao that "to admit a mistake is to be sincere and frank, and to make a mistake without looking back and taking a big step". Such a gesture is used to be useful.

Anyway, dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water, so only dead horses can be treated as live horses.
