Xu Rui raised three fingers and said, "I only brought 3 taels when I went out today! Why don't you lend me some first?"

Hu Yaozu shook his head: "I bet all my 5 taels. How can I lend you money!"

Xu Rui was puzzled and said, "Didn't you just say that you bet 20 taels? Why do you say 5 taels now?"

Hu Yaozu: "You don't know, you can write an IOU for this gambling game, and I will write an IOU for the other 15 taels."

Xu Ruiruo realized something: "Oh! That's it, how do I write this IOU? I'll write an IOU too, let's just write 17 taels!"

Xiao Yan felt that he was about to suffocate internal injuries, but he still forcibly held back, "Don't kill them all like this! You have to forgive others and forgive others. Being convenient for others is convenient for you!"

Hu Yaozu laughed wildly: "Old Xu, don't listen to him fooling around, this is a good opportunity for revenge, don't make it easy for him!"

Xu Rui: "Your surname is Xiao, you don't have to blame others when you are about to die. What do you mean you can't live without doing your own crimes? What the hell is that, if you dare to come to my country's Zijian to make trouble, are you out of your mind? The 20 sons are betting on it. "

Xiao Yan looked loveless: "..."

According to Hu Yaozu's IOU, Xu Rui wrote a 17 taels of IOU in two or three strokes, and signed it happily.

"Hahaha, our Imperial College is awesome this time!"

"After today, the two heroes of Guozijian will be famous in the world!"

"Not bad, the two heroes of the Imperial College, this title is well earned!"

Along with Xu Rui, there are several sons of Duke Duke.

They quit.

"Hu Yaozu, Xu Rui, this son will never let you be more beautiful than before."

Hu Yaozu said: "What's the matter? Deng Kui, you want to get involved too?"

Deng Kui is the son of Cao Guogong, "Of course I will not give up such a good opportunity to make money. This is 5 taels of cash, and the other 15 taels will be replaced by IOUs!"

Hu Yaozu: "It's rare for you to be so proud once. That's right, you didn't lose face to our nobles!"

"My grandson of the Duke of Qi, Zhao Hao, happened to be meeting him, so of course he couldn't pretend he didn't see it. This is 4 taels in cash, and the other 16 should be written as an IOU!"

Hu Yaozu: "The four sons of the Duke's Mansion present today all bet 20 taels, Zhao Jijiu, let's not be ashamed!"

Zhao Hongxian said excitedly: "The four sons are the great heroes of our country's Zijian. This sacrifice will never forget the help of the few today. This year's academic test will not be too difficult."

Fuck, such an obvious hint is short of saying that this sacrificial wine will definitely let you pass these words.

Hu Yaozu, Xu Rui, Deng Kui, and Zhao Hao were all excited. Of course they understood the hint of offering wine, and each of them clasped their fists in thanks: "Thank you for offering wine!"

The four princes placed a bet, and it was still a big bet.

The sacrificial wine also made a promise to the four of them in public, and passed the annual academic test!

This makes people envious and jealous.

The academic test is difficult, and some of the children of these meritorious families and the officials' children came to study seriously.

The children of officials are better, at least they will go to prison to study with them on weekdays.

The children of meritorious service are completely different. Their ancestors all obtained titles by martial arts, so they still look down on literati in their bones.

As for why you want to study at the Imperial College, it’s mainly for the sake of face. Know a few more words, at least you can write and read the merit documents!

Otherwise, the generals under his command deliberately deceived him and fell into the pit accidentally. Although he would not say that he lost his life, at least it would be embarrassing.

What is the meritorious family afraid of?
Of course, I am most afraid of losing face.

As long as they have not committed the unforgivable crime of treason, fellow practitioners with the country can still do it, so don't worry about their lives.

As for the cost of food and clothing, let alone, it is common for a duke's family to earn 30 million taels a year.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about the cost of food and drink.

Therefore, the only thing that can make them pay attention, of course, is face!

Let your children read more books, don't be easily fooled by literati, or be bullied by those who want to, that's all.

In addition, if you don't study well in the Imperial College, you can be fine, but at least you don't want to be the bottom of the exam, and you will be posted on the list and warned.

Of course not many can do this.

Therefore, the end of each year is the time when these meritorious children panic the most.

Once you are on the warning list, then, congratulations, all the princes, lords, and uncles will prepare a rattan fried meat feast for you, and all expenses will be reduced.

This makes people uncomfortable.

Zhao Hongxian's blatant statement immediately aroused the great interest of other meritorious children who usually don't like this kind of gambling.

Zhao Xiang, the prince of Anyuanhou, stepped forward: "This prince bets 2 taels of cash."

"Damn it, it's so disappointing to bet only 2 taels for a dignified son of Marquis Anyuan."

"Yes, yes! No wonder it's the Marquis. In my opinion, it's no wonder. It's short-sighted. It's understandable that it's not as good as the four princes."

Zhao Xiang was furious: "Who is talking nonsense? This son is no worse than them."

No one has come forward to admit it, and no one will ask for trouble.

Zhao Xiang looked around and was about to sit down.

But from time to time someone in the crowd let out a laughing sound.

That's downright insulting.

What does it mean to hurt little, but to insult deeply, this is it!

Zhao Xiang didn't want to make such a big bet at first, but because of their marquis's face, he gritted his teeth and continued: "This prince hasn't finished talking yet!"

I don't know who murmured: "At least 15 taels, it can't be much lower than the Duke's House!"

Seeing the disdainful looks on the faces of the four of Hu Yaozu, Zhao Xiang, who wanted to sign another 3 taels of IOUs, gritted his teeth and said, "I will sign another 13 taels of IOUs!"

Hu Yaozu applauded: "Zhao Xiang, he is a man, he is not ashamed of Uncle Zhao!"

The other Guozijian students also applauded: "The prince Anyuanhou is a man!"

Zhao Xiang's heart ached, he forced a smile and said, "It's just 15 taels! This son can afford it!"

After speaking, he took the writing brush Xu Rui handed over, wrote down the IOU, and then pressed his fingerprints.

"I told you guys to bet too! Don't hold me back!"

Zhao Xiang said with the mentality that since I have entered hell, everyone should not try to run away.

Hu Yaozu also echoed: "Zhao Xiang's words are justified, you three future masters, don't even think about running away!"

He Tingyou, the prince of Zhenyuan Marquis, said: "Who said that this prince will not follow, this is 1 taels of cash, and the other 14 taels of IOUs."

Dingxi Hou's son Xu Hong'an: "3 taels in cash and another 12 taels of IOU."

Deng Yuan, the son of the Marquis of Wu'an, said: "This son also bet 20 taels, this is 5 taels in cash, and the remaining 15 taels are written as IOUs!"
