Zhang Changsong stared at Zhan Feiyu and asked, "What if you lose?"
Whether it is ten unique books about miscellaneous books or ten craftsmen, even ten thousand taels of silver are nothing to the children of aristocratic families like Fengzhou.
"What does Young Master Zhang want me to bet on?" Zhan Feiyu asked with a smile. At first glance, the face of the pretty bun looked childish, but his eyes were dark and calm.
Zhang Changsong was confused, so he raised the stakes a little higher. For example, Zhan Feiyu could no longer take part in the imperial examination. But even if he won, he would have offended Gu Xueshi. The entire Zhang family could not bear Gu Xueshi's behavior.
Thunder revenge.
"Since Miss Zhan asked us all to participate, what kind of bet do you want?" Zhang Changsong simply diverted the trouble and dragged everyone into the water, just like they didn't know the whereabouts of Qi Heng, relying on the "law does not blame everyone"
"These four words.
Uh... everyone looked at each other with grimaces. This was simply a hot potato. How could they handle it?
Qiu Dingsi was also contemplating, and glanced at the little girl with a complicated look. She was young and had a calm mind.
"I heard that Miss Zhan came up with the recipe for Xiangjizi. I think Miss Zhan is not short of money. If I win, Miss Zhan will pay me 10,000 taels of silver." A dandy said with a smile, as if he was short of money.
playboy.
Seeing this, the others all agreed. Zhan Feiyu lost his money, so Bachelor Gu would not pursue it, and they did not get the reputation of bullying the small ones.
"Okay, even if I don't have so much money, I will sign the IOU." Zhan Feiyu smiled and nodded.
Zhang Changsong's face was livid, and he looked at the people around him with anger and laughter. At the critical moment, they were wise enough to protect themselves, and they just gave away the ten thousand taels of silver.
For a moment, Chai Yi wanted to speak. The bet he proposed was for Gu Xueshi to accept him as his disciple!
But this thought only passed by for a moment. It didn't matter whether he would agree to it or not. The key was that he had betrayed the Chen family. Neither the eldest prince nor Chen Xuezheng would let him go. This bet was his talisman.
Thinking of this, anger boiled in Chai Yi's chest. Jealousy was like a fire snake, causing all his limbs and bones to be swallowed up by the poisonous fire. They were all children of farmers, so why was Zhan Feiyu so lucky? From then on, he climbed to the sky!
"Since Miss Zhan wants to bet, Chai will sacrifice her life to accompany the gentleman." Chai Yi still maintained a gentle manner and said with a smile: "But since the bet is to bet, the bet should be bigger. If Miss Zhan loses, she will give up the imperial examination from now on and return to the family.
An ordinary woman with three obediences and four virtues."
Oh! So cruel!
For a moment, everyone's eyes turned to Chai Yi. Could this be a dog that doesn't bark before it bites? He looked like a gentleman, but his actions were ruthless and ruthless, destroying people's futures like killing their parents.
Zhang Changsong and Qiu Dingsi looked at each other and felt relieved since Chai Yi was willing to be the vanguard.
Qiu Dingsi said solemnly: "Since Miss Zhan is willing to accept such a huge bet, Brother Zhang and I will stay with you until the end. If we lose, we will be just like Brother Liu and the others. If we win by chance, Miss Zhan does not have to compensate us."
"Okay." Zhan Feiyu still nodded, as if he didn't care that he was gambling with his future. "What you say is unfounded, but what you write is proof."
Zhu Changyun stared blankly at Zhan Feiyu and Chai Yi who went to the counter to take paper and pen to write down the bet agreement. He couldn't help but look at Ming San, "Are you just going to ignore it? No matter why Liu Baihu agreed before, he can do it at any time."
Able to retort."
A person with such a violent temperament as Liu Baihu cannot even be called a human being. What he hates most is Zhan Feiyu. He is just afraid of Bachelor Gu.
But the bet will definitely be established. Zhan Feiyu is betting on his own future, and Liu Baihu will definitely take this as revenge.
Ming San looked at the group of people in front of the counter and said lazily: "Look at that girl's temper. Now that she has decided, she can't even pull back nine cows."
As for why Zhan Feiyu was so sure that Liu Baihu would not retaliate, Mingsan was also confused. He couldn't help but leaned closer to He Sheng who was sitting next to him, "Ah Sheng, how about you reveal some inside information?"
He Sheng hesitated for a moment, "If I say I don't know, would you believe it, Third Young Master?"
Even He Nuan looked at his eldest brother suspiciously. It was Liu Baihu who accompanied the young lady to meet him. With his cautiousness, he would not leave the young lady even half a step. What was said at that time?
, Brother, can you know?
He Sheng thought about what happened last night. He didn't know why Liu Baihu agreed, and he didn't know why the lady was sure Liu Baihu would agree. This is a mystery!
The bet was made in two copies. After the signature was postponed, Zhan Feiyu took one copy and gave the remaining one to Chai Yi.
…
After Zhan Feiyu and his party had eaten and drank enough and went to Wei's house with Zhou Bazhen in the food box, Mingsan handed the bet to Wei Daru, and Zhan Feiyu was not surprised to be scolded.
"You put your future in people like Liu Hefeng? Why are you reading? The vendors and footmen on the street are smarter than you!" An angry scolding sounded, and Wei Daru pointed at Zhan Feiyu, probably furious,
The old man's face was ashen and his voice was trembling.
Ming San and Zhu Changyun both stood aside silently, they deserved it!
Hong'er was also frightened, but then he grabbed the bamboo pole and rushed to Zhan Feiyu without hesitation. With a slender face, he tried his best to stare at the angry Wei Daru with his eyes wide open, looking fierce and fierce.
No matter how angry he was, looking at Hong'er in front of him, Wei Daru was afraid of scaring the child.
But when Zhan Feiyu pursed his lips and snickered, Wei Daru had just suppressed his anger and suddenly burst out again, roaring so powerfully that it almost broke the roof, "You don't know how to reflect, how dare you laugh?"
Probably because he disliked Zhan Feiyu and was scolded not enough, Mingsan added fuel to the fire without hesitation, "After the bet contract was signed, Chai Yi and the others left Zhou Ji. Judging from the direction, they should have gone to Nanhu Lane."
Liu Baihu lived in Nanhu Lane, so the purpose of Chai Yi's trip was self-evident.
Probably because Zhan Feiyu broke in again and again, Liu Baihu became angry and gave each of the guards and servants in the house ten lashes. He said, if anyone treats the Liu family as a vegetable garden again,
, come and go as they please, and there is no need to spare their necks.
"Mr. Zhang, my lord has been silent before." The boy guarding the gate had a bitter look on his face. The whip wound on his back when he just saluted was so painful that cold sweat broke out on his face.
Liu Baihu's broken leg was just a flesh wound. The key was that he had lost face, so Zhang Tongsuan and the others did not come to visit him before, but only sent gifts and medicinal herbs to replenish his body.
Zhang Changsong also knew this, so he didn't embarrass the young man, "You go in and tell me that I have something important to tell you. As long as it is done, I will definitely punish Zhan Feiyu this time and give Liu Baihu a bad breath."
."
"Yes, I will go in and report to your lord. Young masters, wait a moment." The young man did not dare to offend Zhang Changsong, Qiu Dingsi and others, so they closed the door and immediately ran towards the main courtyard.
Outside the gate, Qiu Dingsi explained in a low voice, "Brother Liu is a sweet-tempered person. After he was injured, he always refused to accept guests behind closed doors. My father was always rejected when he came here."
Chai Yi smiled and nodded, as if he didn't care about Liu Baihu's slightness at all, but the bet he made to Zhan Feiyu before was so severe that even if Chai Yi's attitude was gentle, no one thought he was a gentleman.
The sound of hurried footsteps sounded inside the door, and the boy opened the door with a click. He lowered his head and replied: "Everyone, please go back. I have taken medicine and am resting. I won't see any guests today."
"What?" Zhang Changsong paused and then said: "Raise your head."
The boy was startled for a moment, then raised his head. There was a bloody scar on his cheek, running from the left brow bone to the right mandible. Liu Baihu liked to whip people the most.
A group of children from aristocratic families standing at the door were dumbfounded, and their hearts skipped a beat. Could it be that Zhan Feiyu really had some private deal with Liu Baihu, so that's why he didn't see them?
Being embarrassed in front of an outsider in Chai Yi, Zhang Changsong and Qiu Dingsi looked a little ugly, but Liu Baihu was such a crazy person, and even they, Liu Baihu, could whip him if they made him angry.
Chai Yi stepped forward and said with a warm smile: "Since Liu Baihu wants to rest, we can't force it. Could you please give this bet to Liu Baihu for us to take a look at."
After finishing speaking, Chai Yi handed five taels of broken silver to the boy at the same time, "I'll have time to go to the hospital to see the injury later."
"Thank you, sir." The boy took the money and thanked him, then quickly went back with the bet.
Inner room.
Liu Baihu sat on the beauty's couch with a gloomy expression. Perhaps remembering the past events made his eyes even colder and frightening. Even Madam Butterfly who was serving him was cautious.
"Sir, the weather is very hot. I will ask you to cut a watermelon and bring it over." Madam Butterfly said softly. Seeing that Liu Baihu had no objection, she walked slowly out the door.
"Madam." The boy breathed a sigh of relief. He was whipped by the adult just after he reported back. At this moment, he really didn't have the courage to go in again, but it was impossible not to go. Unexpectedly, Madam Butterfly just came out.
After listening to what the boy said, Mrs. Butterfly laughed and said, "Okay, you can have someone bring you a plate of watermelon, and leave the bet to me."
Across the door, Liu Baihu also heard the young man's words. He looked at Mrs. Butterfly who was leaving and returning, but didn't bother to look at it, "Just read it."
The bet was clearly written, with Zhan Feiyu's name and fingerprints at the signature, followed closely by Chai Yi and others.
Madam Butterfly's soft face was full of astonishment, "Sir, is this a bet?"
If you ask anyone from Fengzhou, you will know that the person Liu Baihu hates the most is Zhan Feiyu, otherwise Zhang Changsong and the others would not have captured Qi Heng just to please Liu Baihu.
Mrs. Butterfly thought of the little girl she had met once. She was the head of the Nanxuan Mansion's trial and she looked smart. How could she write this bet? Could it be that she was seeking medical treatment for the young master of the Qi family?
Liu Baihu frowned, and Mrs. Die immediately handed over the bet upon seeing this.
After browsing through it quickly, Liu Baihu laughed angrily. Zhan Feiyu was really a coward. Was she sure that she would not break the contract?
"You said that if I let them continue to detain the little fat man, would Zhan Feiyu abide by the bet?" Liu Baihu's eyes were fixed on the place where the bet was signed.
Even though Qiu Dingsi, Zhang Changsong and others are both famous and famous, when it comes to handwriting, Zhan Feiyu is not inferior to them at all. Who would have thought that a little girl who has only been studying for more than two years can write such a stroke?
Character.
Writing is like practicing martial arts. Even if you have talent, you have to work hard. From this, it can be seen that Zhan Feiyu has a firm mind. Such a person will not be easily defeated. Liu Baihu believes that even if Qi Heng dies, Zhan Feiyu will feel uncomfortable, but
She will not be depressed, she will only lie dormant and wait for the opportunity to avenge Qi Heng.
Madam Die hesitated for a moment, unsure of what Liu Baihu was thinking, and afraid of being punished for saying the wrong thing, so she could only say ambiguously: "Scholars cherish feathers, and Zhan Feiyu is also a child and the head of the case, so he will definitely abide by the agreement.
"
"It was this bet that Chen Ji fell into in the first place." Liu Baihu thought of Chen Ji's rice shop that was forced to withdraw from Nanxuan Mansion. Even though it was the business of the eldest prince's maternal family, he could only admit defeat.
Madam Die also knew about Zhan Feiyu and the Chen family, "Actually, this bet seems to be unfavorable to Zhan Feiyu, but she is a woman after all, so she still has a way out."
Even if it is impossible to take the imperial examination, Zhan Feiyu studied under Gu Xueshi. She is young now. In a few years, children from aristocratic families in the capital will surely come to ask for marriage. Although it is a virtue for a woman to be untalented, the important thing for aristocratic families is to marry.
A virtuous wife marries a virtuous husband, and a virtuous wife brings less trouble to her husband.
"You return the bet to Zhang Changsong and say that I already know about it." Liu Baihu returned the bet to Madam Die and closed his eyes to take a nap.
Sir, you really want to help Zhan Feiyu? Mrs. Die opened her mouth in shock, but she didn't dare to say anything, so she quickly took the bet and left.
A moment later, outside the gate of Liu Mansion.
Zhang Changsong handed the bet to Chai Yi again, smiled at Madam Butterfly and said, "I'm sorry for bothering my sister-in-law to make this trip. Let me recover well and leave the rest to us."
Madam Butterfly watched a group of people leave. Zhang Changsong and the others had obviously misunderstood what the adults meant, and rightly so, if they hadn't seen the adults' expressions, they would have misunderstood them too.
After all, who can believe that the adults would choose to help Zhan Feiyu? This is a red rain from the sky.
…
Perhaps to build momentum, after the disappearance of Qi Heng, a collateral member of the Qi family, this bet spread throughout the streets and alleys of Fengzhou as if it had wings. Everyone thought that Zhan Feiyu was crazy and would definitely lose.
How dare she sign and fingerprint the bet?
Prefecture Yamen.
"Sir." Qi Tongzhi saluted to Meng Zhizhou who was sitting behind the public case, "I don't know what you want to talk to me about."
"Sit down." Meng Zhizhou asked Qi Tongzhi to sit down, and motioned to the junior official to guard outside the door. Then he said: "Master Qi must have known about the bet. I don't know what Miss Zhan's plan is, and whether I need to
Are the officials going around one or two?"
Although I am not blaming everyone for my words, if the children of these aristocratic families in Fengzhou really cut off Zhan Feiyu's path to the imperial examination, once Gu Xueshi takes revenge, Meng Zhizhou will not be able to withstand it, and the families in Fengzhou will also be unable to withstand it.
When an ordinary man is angry, his blood will be splashed five steps away, but when the emperor is angry, millions of corpses will be laid down, and blood will bleed for thousands of miles.
Bachelor Gu has a high position, and if he takes action, there will be a bloody storm in Fengzhou. After all, Zhang Changsong and the others are too young. They are not even ants in front of Bachelor Gu.
