Chapter 363
"Ah, five...five thousand taels!"
Except for the butcher Qin, the few people present naturally knew the identity of Hong Niangzi.
However, they did not expect that the Hongniang had such courage, and was willing to take out five thousand taels of silver to gamble Qin Yong to win the first place in the imperial examination.
You know, the five thousand taels of silver are really not a small amount, especially for a woman like Hong Niang. Because although Hong Niang is the number one courtesan in Bianjing City, after all, she is just a brothel girl.
In the previous years of her acting career, because she was not free, most of the money she earned had been in the pockets of her madam and her boss.
In recent years, although she has been able to redeem her free self and bought this large theater, it is precisely because of this that she still owes a lot of money from the bank. Therefore, it is really not easy to take out the five thousand taels of silver now. Qin Yong even guessed that the five thousand taels of silver was already the entire savings of the Hongniang?
Taking all her savings to bet on Qin Yong to get the first place in the exam? This courage is really not small. Or rather, her confidence in Qin Yong is a little too great. So, once Qin Yong thought of this, he felt that it was simply unbearable.
Because he knows his situation. If he wants him to pass one of the three tripods in this grand exam, it will be extremely difficult, let alone the so-called first place in the grand exam.
But if he wants to dissuade Hongniang and others from doing this, there seems to be no good reason. After all, if someone can spend so much money to buy you to win, the most important thing is that he is worthy of you and has confidence in you? Otherwise, why wouldn’t she bet on Zhang Caizi and Zhu Caizi?
"Hong...Miss Hong. You don't have to do this! I... Although I'm a little bit short of learning, I don't have to be sure of this exam, so...so..."
Qin Yong originally planned to explain it to Hong Niangzi and the others clearly. In fact, he was not sure what kind of test he could get first place in the exam, so he advised them not to place such a big bet, so he would not lose at the right time, which would be a pity.
However, he did not expect that before he could speak, his father, Butcher Qin, rushed to say, "Hey, what is my son saying? You are a candidate recommended by Hanshan Academy, and you will definitely win. Moreover, with your talent, even if you are not 100% sure, you can win the first place. But at least you are 70% or 80% sure? So, you can bet on this bet! Well, you should also place a bet of 10,000 taels for your father!"
"Well……"
As a result, Qin Yong was speechless on the spot.
Oh, my good dad, why are you joining in the fun? The other man bets of 5,000 taels is not counted, but you have to double it to 10,000 taels? If you count this way, will you place all the bets on yourself exceed 20,000 taels?
Well, if you win the bet, it will indeed make the dealer of this bet lose all his money. After all, more than 200,000 silver is really a lot.
However, if you lose the bet, the problem will be quite big. As much as 20,000 taels of silver will make the dealer profit all at once.
"Haha, OK, Uncle Qin, then let's bet now! Chi fear changes! Who knows if the dealer is going to adjust the odds because Brother Qin's bet is too big?"
"Okay, okay, then let's go now!"
...
Now the development of the situation is completely out of Qin Yong's control, so he had to let them go in the end. Anyway, among them, except for the Hongniangzi, the others can afford to lose.
First of all, it’s Ding Lei. Although the three thousand taels of silver belong to his private money, once his private money is gone, it will be withdrawn from his father. At most, the spare money he usually has is less than a little less.
Then there are the little girls such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although the three thousand taels of silver are already the entire property of them, even if they lose, it will not affect their lives at all. After all, they have never thought about redeem themselves, and they have never thought about leaving the Qin family. Therefore, it is not very useful to ask for so much money. Anyway, everything for their daily expenses is provided by the Qin family.
Finally, it was Qin Butcher, so there was no need to mention it. Originally, if he was in Yangzhou City, he could be considered a wealthy person. Although he was not the largest wealthy businessman in Bianliang City, he was still rich. Therefore, the ten thousand taels of silver were just a small part of the cash silver that he could use now. As for the other cash silver, he was still planning to keep it for Qin Yong to use it for activities after high school. Therefore, although he was determined to increase his investment, he decided to give up after thinking about it. After all, the bet of ten thousand taels of silver was not small.
The only thing that made Qin Yong a little worried was the five thousand taels of silver from Hong Niang, because if he lost, it would definitely cause considerable damage to Hong Niang.
However, he had no choice but to tell her not to place bets, so he had to go with her.
However, what he thought about here was that if the Matchmaker really lost the 5,000 taels of silver, no matter what he said, he would probably have written more plays for Matchmaker.
Because, if there is a good show, the matchmaker's business will definitely be bad. If the business is not bad, it will be much easier for the matchmaker to earn back the 5,000 taels of silver.
"Young Master Qin, I wish you a cup!"
The butcher Qin followed Ding Lei to bet, and the Hongmao naturally sent the maid to go with the silver notes. As for the little girls such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, they did not go, but they accompanied Liu Luoyao back first.
