Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

The Peony Flower Fair is approaching. A few days ago, the "Win the World" gambling house opened a poetry competition for the Peony Flower Fair.

Guess who is the winner.

There are four people who are the most popular, the first of whom is Gu Chengyan, the son of Pingyang Marquis.

The second popular figure is Ling Xun, a student who recently entered Yulong Academy.

There were also several other students and children of great scholars.

However, the most popular one is Gu Chengyan.

The prince invited him to open and close the Peony Flower Festival.

The gambling house owner told the servants to place their bets while reminding everyone, "Gu Shizi's poems are indeed unique, but winning or losing is unpredictable. Maybe you can make a fortune by betting on an underdog."

No one listened and all of them besieged Prince Gu.

When Xie Xiangxiang heard from her maid Xiang Xing that there was a gambling game outside, she immediately took out all her savings and bet on Gu Chengyan to win.

He also mobilized Xu: "Mother, if you listen to me, you will definitely win. Gu Shizi has already prepared five peerless poems."

"How do you know he wrote five good poems?" Xu asked suspiciously, "Xiangxiang, you haven't made an engagement yet or gotten married yet, so don't have any private contact with him."

"I know, I know. Why are you the same as Xie Zhaozhao? Listen to me and place your bets quickly. Don't worry, mother. You will win for sure!"

Xu took 100 taels of silver to bet. Xie Xiangxiang said dissatisfiedly: "100 taels is not enough to fill the gap between our teeth. There is no unexpected winning game. Don't you want to make a profit?"

Xu was so annoyed by her that she had no choice but to give him 2000 taels of silver, no more.

Tiffany Xie listened to her sister and bet all her New Year's money and monthly salary.

Xie Xiangxiang still thought it was too little, so she asked the maids and servants in the yard, as well as relatives and friends to pool their money to place a bet.

All in all, they collected more than 3600 taels, but the bulk of the proceeds went to Xu's mother and daughter.

When Xie Zhaozhao heard that Xu and Xie Xiangxiang brought everyone in the courtyard to bet on Gu Chengyan to win, and several maids had even bet their coffins, she couldn't help but smile.

"Yuanyuan, go, take 10,000 taels and bet on Ling Xun to win."

"Isn't ten thousand taels too much?" Yuanyuan didn't know why the young lady was so optimistic about Ling Xun.

Xie Zhaozhao only said two words: "Go and take custody."

The young lady's words were like an imperial decree. Yuanyuan took out 10,000 taels and bet on Ling Xun to win.

Her young lady has been managing the prosperous shop left by her mistress and has no shortage of money.

When the gambling house owner saw Yuanyuan coming to bet on Ling Xun, he immediately offered 10,000 and shouted loudly, "Miss Xie, you bet on the Jiangnan talent Ling Xun to win first. Do you want to follow?"

But no one followed.

What’s the point of getting first place in both the Lingxun County Examination and the Imperial Examination? Even if you are the top scorer, you can’t write better poetry than Prince Gu.

Yuanyuan placed a bet at the gambling house and went to South City. Not far from Tianhou Lane, she found a little beggar basking in the sun on the street.

The child's eyes rolled around, and when he saw her coming, he immediately got up, avoided Tin Hau Alley for a distance, and caught up with Yuanyuan.

"Sister." Xiao Xin said anxiously, "That woman bought a lot of rouge and powder, and told her maid that she could disguise herself as anyone. She wanted to disguise herself as a man and go to the palace to attend the Peony Festival."

"Did you really hear that? Entering the palace is no joke. Did you hear it wrong?"

"You heard it right. I have very good hearing." Xiao Xin said experiencedly, "I have been on this street for many years. The two grocery stores in front are hers. I heard everything she said to others."

Yuanyuan stuffed dozens of copper coins into Xiaoxin's pocket, bought ten buns on the street and gave them to him, told him to be careful, and left.

She was also riding in an ordinary carriage, an ordinary carriage without any markings.

He went back and reported the news to Xie Zhaozhao, who smiled and said, "It's good to enter the palace!"

Yuanyuan bet 10,000 taels of silver on Ling Xun to win, and Xiang Xing immediately reported to Xie Xiangxiang: "The eldest lady bet on someone else to win, and bet 10,000 taels."

Xie Xiangxiang's eyes turned red with anger. Is Xie Zhaozhao looking down on Master Gu?

Unable to swallow this humiliation, he took Xiang Xing to Xu's yard.

"Mother, my elder sister and Master Gu's marriage fell through, but it wasn't Master Gu's or my fault, so she doesn't have to hate us so much, right?"

When Xu heard that Xie Zhaozhao spent 10,000 taels of silver at once, she was so frugal that she could only come up with 2,000 taels of silver after half her life of thriftiness.

Even angrier than Xie Xiangxiang.

So he went to find Mrs. Xie to apply eye drops.

"Mother, it doesn't matter if the eldest lady is so unfaithful. I'm worried that after she marries into the Marquis's mansion, she will whisper in the ear of Lord Gu and deliberately make things difficult for Master Gu. Also, the man she bet on lives in our mansion. If this gets out, I'm sure others won't think too much."

The old lady frowned and scolded Xu first: "What's the fuss? It's her own money, she can bet on whoever she wants, how can you say she is innocent? The eldest lady has learned the rules well since she was young, she must have her reasons for doing this."

It's the same again. No matter what happens, the old lady always protects the eldest daughter unconditionally.

Xu was very angry, but she didn't dare to refute, so she had to go back angrily.

The old lady asked the maid Ying'er to invite Xie Zhaozhao over.

Xie Zhaozhao came to Wutong Garden and said with a smile, "Grandma, is there something you want to talk to your granddaughter about?"

The old lady saw that her eyes were clear, so she smiled and said, "I heard that you participated in the betting of the poetry competition?"

"Well, I bet on Master Ling who is staying in the mansion. He is really talented. I guess he may get the top prize in this palace examination."

The old lady was surprised and said, "I was just wondering why you brought a strange man back home. So you are such a talented man?"

"Yes, although he comes from a poor family, he is humble and eager to learn. My brother and father have tried his knowledge and admired it very much. I think he will be a great help to my father and brother in the future."

As soon as she said this, the grandmother immediately stopped complaining and praised, "You did a great job. It would be better if someone else told him about the bet of 10,000 taels to win."

"My granddaughter thought the same, so she only let Yuanyuan place the bet and didn't tell him about it. But sooner or later, such things will get to his ears."

She also told the old lady that if she made the right bet, she could win a lot of money. She planned to use the winnings to settle the refugees from the South City and the North City on the farm to relieve the worries of the court.

The old lady was very happy.

This granddaughter has a long-term vision, is comprehensive, and is the most popular.

The old lady asked Ying'er to take out a ten thousand tael silver note and give it to Xie Zhaozhao, saying, "You always think about the family, your father and brothers, and I can't let you lose money. This ten thousand taels is a reward for your filial piety."

Xie Zhaozhao thanked him profusely but refused to accept the reward, saying that the old man was old and should keep some money for his own survival.

The old lady felt bad about it, so she decided to give her a farm in the western suburbs to accommodate those refugees.

Xie Zhaozhao accepted it this time.

When Xu heard that the old lady not only did not punish Xie Zhaozhao, but also rewarded her with a farm, she was so angry that she smashed several teacups in the room.

Yuanyuan whispered this to Xie Zhaozhao, who said, without even looking up, "Her vision is only as big as a teacup."

It is boasted to be the most beautiful in the world and the most fragrant in the world. In the blink of an eye, the peony flower festival is here.
