Chapter 1379 Um Ang Ang Ang
"A gentleman is persistent, but a villain is fickle. Mr. Zhu, all scholars in our generation are gentlemen. You just said that Hu Yushi rode a donkey to take office, and he would never change his mind midway. Right? ”
After the gambling was over, Zhang Chufeng once again provoked Zhu Pingan, lest Zhu Pingan would change his mind temporarily.
"Of course, I think Hu Yushi may have arrived late because he followed the ancestral rules and rode a donkey."
Zhu Pingan nodded.
Hearing this, Zhang Chufeng beamed. It has been thirty-one years since Jiajing. It has been a hundred years since the imperial censor broke the ancestral system. He is still riding a donkey. I think you were kicked in the head by a donkey while riding a donkey. Come on. Haha, this is the best, Zhu Zihou, Zhu Zihou, I accept your gambling money.
Well, the money that Fatty Chu won last time was cut off by you in the name of "funding military preparations." This time, I have to make some blood of yours!
"Okay, a gentleman's words are hard to catch up with! Fatty Chu must have heard it, Mr. Zhu placed a bet on Hu Yushi riding a donkey."
Zhang Chufeng couldn't wait to say to Chu Xiong.
"Okay." Chu Xiong nodded, looked up at Zhu Ping'an and asked, "Brother Zhu, how much do you want to bet?"
"Ahem, if you want to bet, I only have the joy of gambling," Zhu Ping'an coughed and said honestly. As he spoke, he put his hand into his arms, as if he was digging out money.
"Master Zhu, I want to give your militia some more money this time. You bet too small, but you can't take it away."
Zhang Chufeng said quickly, Then he took out the heavy money bag from his sleeve and tossed it up and down.
"I only have the two silver notes that you sponsored me last time and my own fifty-tael silver note." Zhu Pingan continued as he took out two pieces of money from his arms. One hundred taels of silver notes and one fifty taels of silver notes.
Zhang Chufeng's eyes suddenly straightened, and he was overjoyed. Two hundred and fifty taels. It's so fitting for you. Two hundred and five. Hehe, you are really a two hundred and five. Thank God, today is really a good day. This is The rhythm of getting everything back even with profits. , and then without hesitation, with lightning speed, he took all three banknotes in Zhu Ping'an's hand and handed them to Chu Xiong without any explanation, "Okay, please, take it, Fatty Chu." Yes, this is Mr. Zhu’s bet.”
Chu Xiong was naturally happy to pretend to be confused. He took the money from Zhu Ping'an handed over by Zhang Chufeng, put it into his official hat, and said with a smile, "Okay, little brother Zhu will place a bet of two hundred and fifty taels."
"I mean I only have two hundred and fifty taels, no." Zhu Pingan had a helpless smile on his face.
"Oh, Mr. Zhu, why didn't you say it earlier? However, it's too late." Zhang Chufeng shrugged.
"Ah?! Well, let's do that." Zhu Pingan said with a bitter smile.
"Haha, Master Zhu bet two hundred and fifty taels, I can't be less, I bet all my money. Remember Fatty Chu, Master Zhu bet on Hu Yushi I came here on a donkey to take office, I ordered Hu Yushi to come on horseback to take office, there is no need to make a mistake," Zhang Chufeng threw his money bag to Chu Xiong and emphasized again.
Chu Xiong took Zhang Chufeng's money bag and counted it, "Okay, Brother Zhang bet one hundred and fifteen taels of silver."
"Hey, brother Zhuo, do you want to participate?!" Chu Xiong After receiving Zhang Chufeng's money, he bumped Zhuo Yan, who was approaching, with his shoulder.
Zhuo Yan nodded with a paralyzed face, took out a fifty-tael silver note from his sleeve, threw it into Chu Xiong's official hat, and said concisely, "This is the only one left, before Hu Yushi rode on horseback. Come and take office.”
"Ahem, you are riding a horse anyway, brother Zhuo, don't think about it, you have to know the ancestral system."
Chu Xiong couldn't help but blinked when he saw Zhuo Yan also betting that Hu Zongxian came to take office on horseback. , said deceitfully.
Zhuo Yan rolled his eyes and asked with an expressionless face, "What's your bet?"
"That's right, Fatty Chu, what's your bet?! How much is your bet?!" Zhang Chufeng followed. asked.
Chu Xiong had an interesting expression on his fat face. He coughed and said seriously, "Ahem, I didn't think too much about placing bets. I mainly wanted to support Brother Zhu's team training, so I can only bet on the opposite side of Brother Zhu. Well, I don’t have much money, so I’ll just bet on one hundred and fifty taels.”
Hearing this, Zhang Chufeng and Zhuo Yan rolled their eyes at Chu Xiong and cursed, "Shameless!"
Next, Chu Xiong used his talent of dancing and went to Several of his acquaintances from the government office wandered around and pulled three more people into the game, placing bets ranging from twenty taels, thirty taels, and fifty taels respectively.
In fact, with Chu Xiong's social circle, he could have attracted more people into the game, but it was not enough for him to come back after attracting these three people.
"Fat Chu, why don't you go and get a few more?! Mr. Zhang from the Ministry of Industry, Mr. Wang from the Ministry of Household Affairs, and" Zhang Chufeng couldn't help but asked in confusion when he saw that Chu Xiong had returned so quickly. road.
Zhuo Yan also looked at Chu Xiong in confusion. In the past, how could Chu Xiong have attracted eight or nine more people for their elegant bets? Why did he come back after only three of them now? ! This is not Chu Xiong’s style.
"You know what the heck, these people all bet on Hu Yushi coming on horseback, and only little brother Zhu bets on Hu Yushi coming on donkey. There are more monks and less meat, how will we divide them at that time? ! I have to close the deal in advance.”
After hearing Zhang Chufeng’s question, Chu Xiong couldn’t help but replied with a look of pain on his face.
"Yes, the dish must be sealed."
Hearing this, Zhang Chufeng nodded repeatedly. Yes, in this game, only Zhu Pingan bet on Hu Yushi riding a donkey, and everyone else bet on Hu Yushi riding a horse. Zhu Ping'an, who was 250, bet 250 taels. The most they could win could only be divided among the 250 taels of silver. Naturally, the smaller the number of people, the more they would get. Fatty Chu did this very right and must close the deal.
Seeing this, Zhu Ping'an on the side couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth with regret. What kind of plate should be sealed? The more people, the better.
After sealing the plate, I waited for about a while for a cup of tea when I saw a probing horse galloping towards me on the official road.
"Report, the new Zhejiang inspector censor will be here soon." Tan Ma stopped in front of the pavilion and reported.
All the officials immediately moved, arranged their clothes, cheered up, and prepared to welcome Hu Zongxian's arrival.
After exploring the horse and reporting the matter, it was tea time before I saw a group of people appear on the official road.
Hu Yushi and his party are a little slow? !
All the officials thought that it was time to give Hu Yushi a good horse. The horse that Hu Yushi was riding was a bit slow.
As Hu Yushi and his entourage slowly approached, people could not help but narrow their eyes. The horse that Hu Yushi was riding seemed a bit short? !
"Uh-oh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh."
“Donkey?!” All the officials were stunned. When Chu Xiong, Zhang Chufeng and others heard the braying of donkeys coming from the official road, their faces suddenly turned pale, as if they were mourning for their heirs
