The happy life of a prodigal

This time, he bet 3000 taels of Yulin Weisheng and returned the money he borrowed from Baolefang, making a net profit of 1000 taels.

Although excluding the 1000 taels lost last time, it is equivalent to not earning, but the joy of regaining the loss still made him unable to control himself.

I don't know how long it took before I recovered from the state of extreme excitement.

"How much silver did you earn this time?"

Wu Yi seemed to have remembered something, looked at Fang Xiu beside him, and asked.

Fang Xiu's expression was very calm, he shook his head and said, "Not much, 5000 taels."

5000 taels! ?

Although he was already prepared in his heart, he couldn't help but tremble when he heard this number.

Just one game made a net profit of 5000 taels of silver.

There are still at least a dozen games before the end of the pro-army competition. If he can make a net profit of 5000 taels often, wouldn't this guy become the richest man in the capital! ?

Compared to Wu Yi's shock, Fang Xiu appeared a little disappointed.

If it was before, 5000 taels of silver would really make him happy for a while.

But now, it cost him 8 taels of silver just to organize the pro-military review.

Even if every game in the future can be hit, it is only just enough to make up for it.

Adding the income from tickets and carts, it would be better to open another theater or restaurant in the capital, and the rate of return was not as high as he imagined.

I originally thought that I could take advantage of this opportunity of pro-military review to turn myself into a landlord, but now it seems that it is really whimsical...

Fang Xiu shook his head, and said sincerely: "Children from poor families...are suffering!"

On the side, Wu Yi almost vomited blood when he heard this.

You... a child from a poor family?

What is that son, a child of a beggar's family?

Wu Yi glanced at Fang Xiu, and decided not to communicate with this criminal pretending to be X.

He turned his gaze to Zhao Yan on the other side, and asked curiously: "I wonder how much money Mr. Zhao earned this time?"

Zhao Yan, who was disguised as a man, glanced at Wu Yi, thought for a while, and said, "It should... I don't know either."

Wu Yi was a little speechless, waved his hands, and said, "Forget it, I won't ask any more, no matter what, it's still more than I earn."

Zhao Yan glanced at him, thought for a while, leaned over to Fang Xiu's ear, and asked in a low voice, "How much money can I earn by pressing 5 taels of Yulin Weisheng?"

Chapter 174 Not a Problem

Fang Xiu looked at Zhao Yan in surprise, and asked, "Where did you get so much money?"

5 taels of silver is enough to buy the Spring Breeze Tower and the Beijing Normal University Theater.

In the entire capital, there are only a few people who can spend 5 taels of silver. Although she is a princess, her monthly salary is no more than ten taels of silver.

From birth to growing up, the sum will not exceed 2000 taels. Where can I get 5 taels of silver?

Zhao Yan thought for a while and said, "I picked it up."

Fang Xiu: "..."

If you are lying, you have to make up a similar one, 5 taels of silver, all of which are exchanged into bank notes, and it is also a thick stack. Who has the luck to pick up 5 taels?

"Where did I pick it up? I want to go too."

Fang Xiu looked at Zhao Yan, with a look of anticipation on his face, and asked.

Zhao Yan thought for a while and said, "Forgot."

"..."

Fang Xiu was speechless.

Does this guy really think of himself as a mentally ill patient?

For this reason, no one would believe it...

Zhao Yan obviously didn't want to tell Fang Xiu the origin of the money, but looked at Fang Xiu with her big watery eyes and asked, "How much money can I earn?"

Fang Xiu made a rough estimate in his heart, and replied: "It should be able to earn...more than 1 taels."

"More than 1 taels?"

Zhao Yan's expression was a little strange, as if she was holding back a smile.

Seeing her like this, Fang Xiu immediately sensed something was wrong, and asked tentatively, "Did you really put 5 taels of silver on You Yu Linwei?"

Zhao Yan shook her head resolutely and said, "No, I'm just asking casually."

Fang Xiu looked at Zhao Yan suspiciously.

Zhao Yan lowered her head subconsciously.

When Fang Xiu saw this scene, his expression changed from doubt to affirmation, from calm to shock.

After a while, he took a deep breath, leaned over to Zhao Yan's ear, and whispered: "Well, in the next game, I will tell you which team to beat, and we will share the money earned equally. how?"

Zhao Yan looked at Fang Xiu suspiciously, thought for a while, and said in a very firm tone: "No!"

Fang Xiu leaned in front of her and persuaded: "Making money is not as easy as you imagined, this time I was lucky, I beat You Yulin Wei, what about next time?

Who knows if it will hit the ball next time, if not, the 5 taels of silver bill will be thrown into the river without even splashing a little water.

I am different. As the founder of the sport of football, I can guarantee that no one in the entire Beijing Normal University is better than me in understanding football and various teams!

As long as you follow my advice, you will definitely succeed in everything. This is a profitable business, Miss Sister, think about it? "

miss...sister?

After hearing Fang Xiu's words, Zhao Yan's expression changed a little, but she returned to her original appearance in an instant, and said, "I just need to press with you, why should I give you half of the money?"

"..."

Fang Xiu didn't know what to say.

Regarding Zhao Yan's words... he actually felt that there was such a grain of truth.

Fang Xiu thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Nine to one, you nine, I one!"

Zhao Yan still shook her head and said, "I don't!"

Fang Xiu looked at Zhao Yan and threatened: "If you are like this, before I go to Bofang next time, I will definitely choose it in the middle of the night, and I will never let you see it!"

Zhao Yan looked indifferent, and said: "I will live in your house, wherever you go, I will go, whenever you go, I will go too."

Fang Xiu looked sad and angry, and said: "Where is there such a reason, even if you are a princess, you can't bully others, bully innocent and weak common people like us."

Zhao Yan glanced at Fang Xiu, but was still indifferent, apparently already had a very deep understanding of his methods.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiu finally gave up.

This girl usually looks silly, but when money is involved, she is smarter than anyone else.

On the side, Wu Yi looked at them and asked, "What did you say?"

Fang Xiu thought for a while and replied: "We are talking about the story of the unscrupulous princess oppressing the common people..."

............

In the north of the capital city, Duke Wei's mansion.

Somewhere in a secluded courtyard.

Liu Zi was kneeling on the ground, his face was pale, and he didn't say a word.

Not far away, an old man in common clothes was watering the flowers, looking very focused.

The melodious and clear birdsong echoes among the shadowy trees and flowers, adding a different feeling to the quiet courtyard.

After an unknown amount of time, the old man put down the kettle in his hand, sat on the stone bench, picked up the teapot on the stone table, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "Do you know what was wrong this time?" ?”

Liu Zizheng was trembling because of kneeling for too long, but when he heard the old man's question, he cheered up and replied: "The grandson's mistake is that he shouldn't have listened to Fang Xiu's one-sided words."

When he mentioned the word 'Fang Xiu', he gritted his teeth, as if wishing to smash him to pieces.

When the old man heard this, a faint look of disappointment appeared on his old face, he shook his head and said, "Wrong, think again."

Liu Zi was kneeling on the ground, lost in thought again.

After a while, he raised his head, looked at his grandfather, Wei Guogong Liu Gong, and said, "Grandson doesn't know, please punish him!"

Duke Wei trembled slightly while holding the tea, put down the cup, looked at Liu Zizheng, and said, "Your fault is that you didn't know which is more important!

Silver... For our Wei Guogong Mansion, it is just a number and has no meaning.

For a little money, offending those marquis' mansions is not worth the loss. What's more, if you hide in Duke Wei's mansion, can you hide for a while, or for a lifetime?

Zizheng, you have to remember that problems that can be solved with money are not considered problems! "

When Liu Zizheng heard this, he felt relieved in his heart, and said loudly: "Grandson understands, problems that can be solved with money are not considered problems!"

Wei Guogong saw that he looked like a man, and there was a rare smile on his old face, and he asked: "How much money do you owe those guys, tell the accountant, take as much as you want, and put it all in your account …

Don't let them come to the old man again, the old man can't afford to lose that person! "

Liu Zizheng was disappointed when he heard the words 'recorded in the account'.

At first, he thought that this matter was settled, but he didn't expect that he would still have to bear it himself.

But this is better than hiding in the mansion all the time and not daring to go out.

Liu Zizheng stood up slowly from the ground, saluted Wei Guogong respectfully, and then said: "Father, grandson thinks that the money in the house may not be enough...

I still need to trouble Mr. Zhang to go to the bank and borrow some money..."

Before he finished speaking, Wei Guogong stared at him angrily with his eyes wide open.

Seeing this scene, Liu Zizheng stopped immediately, not daring to speak anymore.

Wei Guogong looked pissed off, glared at Liu Zizheng, and said angrily, "How much money do you owe them, you unbelievable loser!?"

Chapter 175 Don't mention it again

Liu Zi was showing fear, subconsciously took a step back, looked at his grandfather cautiously, and whispered: "About... 3 taels."

"what!?"

Hearing this, Wei Guogong picked up the wooden stick in his hand angrily, and hurriedly walked up to Liu Zizheng, and said sharply: "Get down!"

Liu Zi was frightened and stopped in place, not daring to move.

"Get down!"

Wei Guogong was born in the army. When he was young, he used to guard the frontier and fought against the grassland tribes for many years. Even though he was old, his temper was still as violent as ever.

Although when drinking tea and growing flowers on weekdays, he looks like a calm and kind old man.

But if he encounters something that makes him angry, few people in the entire capital city would dare to act presumptuously in front of him.

What's more, in this era, it is only right and proper for Lao Tzu to beat his son or grandson. Not to mention these nobles, even today's sage was raised by the former emperor when he was young.

Liu Zizheng didn't dare to resist at all, and obediently lay down on the stone table in a very humiliating posture.

Without saying a word, Wei Guogong waved the wooden stick in his hand, and threw it at his buttocks, comparing the weight with each one.

At first, Liu Zizheng was still clenching his teeth, not shouting.

But with more than a dozen sticks, even a rough man guarding the frontier can't stand it, let alone a dandy with thin skin and tender flesh.

All of a sudden, miserable wailing resounded throughout Duke Wei's mansion.

Even the passers-by outside Wei Guogong's mansion could hear it clearly.

I don't know how long it took, Liu Zizheng was beaten all over his body, and Wei Guogong put down the stick in his hand.

Next to him, the female relatives who heard the news looked at Liu Zizheng, who was bloody and bloody from the beating, and wanted to step forward to persuade him, but seeing the old man's expression, they all stopped in place.

Obviously, the master was really angry this time, no one had the guts to touch his brow at this time.

Wei Guogong threw away the stick and felt tired from the beating. He took a few breaths and sat down.

On the side, the female family members saw this, hurriedly came forward to hand tea and water, and gestured to the servants behind them with their eyes.
