Chapter 1370 Today is the harvest season
Zhu Ping'an came out of Mr. Zengtai's room with satisfaction, and saw Chu Xiong, Zhang Chufeng, and Zhuo Yan in the corridor outside the door from a distance. From their concerned eyes, Zhu Pingan understood that these three idiots were gambling on their own elegance.
This gambling game has lasted for more than half a month. Should I, as the party concerned, also receive some commission?
So, with a smile on his lips, Zhu Pingan walked straight towards them and said hello to them.
“Ahem, little brother Zhu”
"Master Zhu"
After all, they used Zhu Ping'an as the target of their elegant bet, and they couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when they saw the person involved coming over.
"Haha, congratulations, Brother Chu, you won." Zhu Ping'an took out the official document of imperial instructions from his arms.
"Really?! The salary has come down?!" Chu Xiong couldn't help but be happy when he heard this. The next second he caught a glimpse of Zhu Ping'an's meaningful smile, Chu Xiong couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He rubbed his hands again and again, "Ah ? ! Ahem, little brother Zhu, do you know about the bet on your army, food, salary, and elegance?”
“Well, I’ve known about it since your first day.” He smiled and nodded.
As a result, Chu Xiong's face turned even redder. Zhang Chufeng and Zhuo Yan were also a little embarrassed.
"Haha, Brother Chu, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhuo, what's the point of being embarrassed? It's just a small gamble."
Zhu Ping'an smiled nonchalantly.
"Hahaha, little brother Zhu is still sensible. Come, let us see, well, it is true. The imperial court approved our Yamen's application for military preparation, food and salary three days ago. With this official document, you can go The Ministry of War in Yingtian received five thousand taels of food and salary. "When Chu Xiong heard Zhu Pingan's words, he let go of the embarrassment in his heart. He couldn't help laughing. He took the official document from Zhu Pingan, read it over, and then said to him like a defeated big fat goose. Zhang Chufeng and Zhuo Yan read.
“It was approved so quickly?!” Zhang Chufeng and Zhuo Yan stretched their necks in disbelief.
"Haha, can the white paper with black letters and the red seal still deceive you?! See for yourselves whether it is written like this!" Chu Xiong raised his head and smiled, and handed the official document of the imperial court's approval to Zhang Chufeng and Zhuo Yan for them to watch.
Zhang Chufeng took the official document, read it again, confirmed it again, and had to accept the fact that the food and salary had been approved.
Zhuo Yan also read the official document and confirmed the fact, with a painful expression on his paralyzed face.
"Haha, finish reading it. After reading it, return the official document to Little Brother Zhu. Brother Zhu still needs to use the official document to receive his salary." Chu Xiong smiled and took the official document back and gave it back to Zhu Ping'an .
"Hahahaha, I'm willing to admit defeat and take the money. You two have defeated me so many times, and this time it's finally my turn to open the business." Chu Xiong laughed and extended his hand to Zhang Chufeng and Zhuo Yan He held up his hands and said jokingly, "When I lost, I readily took out the money. You guys wouldn't refuse to pay, right?!"
"What are you talking about? Fatty Chu, what are you talking about! It's just a hundred taels of silver! Who would renege?"
Zhang Chufeng gritted his teeth and took out a hundred taels with body temperature from his arms. The denomination bank note was reluctantly thrown to Chu Xiong.
“My little baby!” Chu Xiong caught the bank note thrown by Zhang Chufeng with agility that was not consistent with his size, kissed the bank note hard, and smiled like a sunflower on his plump face. Similar.
Zhuo Yan had a paralyzed face and although he was in a lot of pain, he was just a man willing to admit defeat. He reluctantly took out a hundred-tael silver note and handed it to Chu Xiong, "Here, I will It’s not warm yet.”
"Haha, brother Zhuo is just more cheerful than some people." Chu Xiong took the banknote and grinned to the back of his head, "You don't have to warm up the banknote, so don't regret it, brother, I will help you warm it up."
Chu Xiong looked at the two hundred-tael banknotes in his hand, with a plump face and a bright smile, not to mention how happy he was.
While he was intoxicated with himself, a hand reached out, accurately grabbed a banknote, and then took the banknote away in a swish.
Who dares to steal my money? !
Chu Xiong was anxious and looked up to see Zhu Ping'an, holding a banknote and smiling with a bright smile.
"Brother Chu, as your casual bettor, I am equivalent to the banker. I helped you win the bet today. I think it’s not too much to share half of it when we meet." Zhu Pingan looked at Chu Xiong with a smile and shook his hand. of banknotes, he said slowly.
"Cough, cough, cough, not too much, not too much." Chu Xiong said with a pained face.
"Haha, Brother Chu generously donated money to help prepare food and wages for the Yamen soldiers, but the younger brother was disrespectful."
Under Chu Xiong's pained eyes, Zhu Ping'an accepted the banknote with a smile. Get up, clasp your fists and say thank you.
Zhu Pingan robbed Chu Xiong without any burden in his heart. Firstly, Chuxiong was rich, and the money was the money he had earned, without any labor bonus. Secondly, as Zhu Pingan said, he, as an elegant man, The person he was gambling with sent a letter to Master Xu to help him win the bet, and the one hundred taels of silver was his share.
"Yes, yes, yes, support the troops with food and pay. I am responding to Lord Nitai's call to help Zihou." Chu Xiong heard this and nodded repeatedly. I like this statement, and then turned to look at Zhang Chufeng and Zhuo Yan chuckled and said, "Last time Mr. Taitai On the table, we were called on to help little brother Zhu. I have carried out the will of Mr. Tai Tai to the end and funded little brother Zhu’s troops with one hundred taels of silver to prepare food and pay. Haha, brother Zhang and brother Zhuo, are they just the same? No expression? ”
"Damn fat man, you won all my personal money. I want to show you that you can lend it to me?!" Zhang Chufeng had just lost a huge sum of one hundred taels of silver and was in a bad mood. Hearing that Chu Xiong wanted to ask for it again Asking him to sponsor money, his face suddenly turned darker, and he gritted his teeth and roared at Chu Xiong.
"Yes, as long as you write an IOU, I will lend you as much as you want." Chu Xiong chuckled.
Zhang Chufeng ignored him.
"Your one hundred taels of silver was my contribution." Zhuo Yan said calmly with a paralyzed face.
"Brother Zhuo, if you lose to me, it's mine. That's my contribution." Chu Xiong corrected.
"Humph, you damn fat man, the fault lies with Master Zhuo and I." Zhang Chufeng snorted and gritted his teeth and said, "You are being generous to me and Master Zhuo, and not only that, you also made a hundred taels of profit yourself. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Chufeng’s eyes suddenly lit up, a flash of inspiration flashed, and then he looked at Chu Xiong with a smile.
“Why are you looking at me like this?” Chu Xiong got goosebumps when Zhang Chufeng looked at him.
"Hey, damn fat man, if you really respond to Master Nitai's call, you will also sponsor Zhu Zihou with another one hundred taels of silver notes. Anyway, you got it for nothing." Zhang Chufeng chuckled, Strongly encouraged.
"Good!" Zhuo Yan's paralyzed face also had an expression. He nodded in agreement and looked at Chu Xiong.
"I" Chu Xiong clenched the banknote in his hand and subconsciously took a step back.
"Oh, how embarrassing is this." Although Zhu Pingan said this, his eyes were staring at the other one hundred taels of silver note in Chu Xiong's hand without blinking, as if he was targeting prey. Like a hungry wolf.
For a time, three people and six eyes were like spotlights, staring at Chu Xiong without blinking.
“That’s what I meant.”
God knows how Chu Xiong said this, and God knows how much his heart bleeds when he said this.
"Today is the harvest season." Zhu Pingan returned home with a full load. On the way home, he couldn't help humming a ditty. (End of this chapter)
