What a cheating husband

Chapter 85 Manipulating the Gambling Board

The clerk stared blankly at the one or two loose silver hairs on the tray, one or two?What a day or two!This is not the only amount of money that Mr. Liang gave to his buddies when he was happy!Who is this person?

The clerk looked at Chen Qing hesitated for a while and dared not speak, but he had to do the job ordered by the shopkeeper, and finally gritted his teeth and knelt down with a plop, "Please tell me the truth...Which expert are you?"

Chen Qing was dumbfounded, Liang Zijun was also stunned for a moment, and then smiled strangely.Chen Qing waited for a long time to see that the waiter still refused to get up, so she stared at Liang Zijun and asked, "What's going on?"

Liang Zijun poured a glass of wine leisurely, and asked with a smile, "How much did you bet at the opening?"

The clerk jumped up, and replied with a doggy smile, "Our store alone has more than 200 taels, and the few people nearby who got the news also opened gambling markets. It is estimated that it will not be less than a thousand taels of silver. Most It's all thirty-seven, do you see?"

"I want 3% of the lottery." Liang Zijun rubbed his chin with a calculating face.

"I don't dare to make a decision on this. I'll ask the shopkeeper right now. You will be later." The guy immediately went downstairs to report after receiving the letter of approval.

Chen Qing looked cloudy and foggy, and asked Liang Zijun, but he smiled mysteriously, and only said to him, "You just wait for the money to be collected."

After a while, the clerk came to pass the word, saying that the shopkeeper agreed, but several other shops said that they would have to wait another quarter of an hour.Liang Zijun generously agreed, and pulled Chen Qing to continue eating and drinking.

Chen Qing was a little tipsy after being drank a few cups, leaning back on the chair and dozing off.They usually go to bed early at this time, and it is time for the Liang family to go home to rest.

Liang Zijun went out for a trip, and when he came back, he threw a bag of loose silver on the table with a "bang".

After Chen Qing opened it, she was startled, and after asking why, she angrily punched Liang Zijun hard.This guy actually gambled on the relationship between the two of them, and even paid 3% of the gambling money for all the shops.

"If I don't cooperate with them, I won't even earn a dollar or two!" Liang Zijun dragged the money back disapprovingly, "Don't pull it down!"

"Why don't you? One and half" Chen Qing started to grab, and the consciousness of small farmers broke out completely.Liang Zijun had no choice but to watch his daughter-in-law, who was a money fan, carefully count one by two, one by two, and then put his care into her arms, and then gave him a bright smile with vigor.

"Look at your stupidity, let's go, I will take you to play." Liang Zijun was in a good mood, took the money and led him out of the box, letting his shy palm writhe continuously but refused to let go.

Until walking out of the tavern, the heat on Chen Qing's face didn't dissipate completely.Looking up and looking around, good guy, there are a bunch of people crowded outside the shops, and there are people pushing and shoving out, trying to see what Mr. Liang's wife looks like?

Liang Zijun regretted it, and picked up a mask from the street and put it on Chen Qing's face, blocking those hot eyes.Is Mr. Liang's wife just for people to admire?After glancing coldly for a week, he took the lead and strode towards the back street.

"It's not a big deal, it looks like a man, at most it's a little handsome"

"Really? I didn't even see it"

"I think it's very pretty. Didn't you see that the third master is very nervous?"

"That is, in exchange for your daughter-in-law, would you be willing to show it to others?"

"Who dares to look? See if I don't goug his eyeballs!"

"Okay, let's keep betting. If you just lost money, you have to earn it back from the third master, right? Who is he betting on?"

"Draw it, I bet myself, it's still a tael of silver, it's strange to win, I guess it was his wife who encouraged her husband to bet a tael of silver."

"Cut~ Then I'd better bet on xxx"

Chen Qing pressed the mask on his face, and didn't want to take it off until he walked out of the flower street.Liang Zijun pressed it down, "Don't take it off, it will probably spread in a while, if you don't want to go out in the street in the future, you have to cover it up, you should wear it honestly."

Chen Qing sighed, the money really didn't come for nothing.Walking to another mask booth, Chen Qing picked out a fox mask and handed it to Liang Zijun, "I want to wear one."

Liang Zijun put on his mask with a smile, and with the intention of sharing weal and woe with his daughter-in-law, he went straight to the next intersection under the strange eyes of passers-by.

Even with a mask on, the businessman would not mistake the coquettish coat that is the only one in Qingping County, and looking at the complementary Hu Fen figure beside him, it is not difficult to think that these two are Liang Zijun and his wife.

Liang Zijun didn't lie, there are quite a lot of interesting places in Qingping County, but most of them are hidden in the corners and deep alleys, and the small stalls on the side of the road also have some new things, if you don't pay attention, you might miss it.

The two held hands and wandered around the interesting area of ​​Qingping County. Liang Zijun led Chen Qing to a wonton stand, "His wontons are the best in Qingping County. You wait for me here. Don't run around, and don't let me eat." Going to compete for the jackpot, do you hear me?"

Chen Qing nodded repeatedly. Anyway, he could see the grand occasion on the other side of the square from here, so there was no need to squeeze in to join in the fun.Liang Zijun got Chen Qing's guarantee, so he lifted his mask and gave instructions from inside, and hurriedly ran towards Guan Mi.

As soon as Haishi arrived, huge palace lanterns were officially hung in the square, and people from all around slowly gathered in the square.

In the beginning, the few riddles were only used in the hot scene, and the prizes were not heavy, and a few simple riddles were interspersed to have fun with the people.Hezhi County was wearing ordinary clothes and sat high in the stands, surrounded by his family members and several wealthy gentry from the county.

The bosses of the major commercial firms sat on the side, laughing and chatting with the magistrate.When Liang Zijun arrived, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, most of the official riddles had been solved, leaving two more difficult and final riddles.

After reuniting with Liao Fanzhi and others, all he received was teasing and sarcasm. Liang Zijun knew he was wrong and laughed again and again, and promised to be the host another day, and he would make a good apology before he gave up.

"Did you enjoy playing with your wife? I heard that you also accounted for 3% of the gambling money on Huajie." Liao Fanzhi asked in a low voice, tilting his head.

"You are really well-informed. You gambled with Mr. Liang's family. If I didn't teach them a lesson, it would be flattering. You still want to take advantage of me?" Liang Zijun snorted coldly.

"Oh~ Where's the sister-in-law?" Liao Fanzhi really wanted to see what the pretty woman who would make Liang Zijun so happy would look like.

"Send it back, let's see the riddle!" Liang Zijun lied with a dark face.

"Cut~" Liao Fanzhi curled his lips in disdain, stingy!Turning around and talking to Liang Zijun with great interest, what were the mysteries before, and who got the prize.

"Conversation: You can ask, not the son of the minister. Ping Gong said: Good." Liang Zijun read it silently, and the corner of his mouth slightly twitched, "It seems that this year there is a great person~"

"No, it's just that Shen Shu has just returned from the entrance examination." Liao Fanzhi was thinking about the folding fan, with a look of jealousy.

"Don't you still have to prepare for the palace exam? Why are you back now?" Liang Zijun frowned. No wonder the riddles that came out this year were so different. Presumably, the husband also wanted to mention some Shenshu transcripts.

"Didn't the palace examination be changed to this spring after the press conference? I heard that his mother, Si'er, sent a letter from home specially to ask him to come back for the new year. He will go south after the fifteenth day," Liao Fanzhi said sourly.

Soon the penultimate riddle was revealed, "The old monk also has cats, and he dare not bark in front of others." As soon as the riddle came out, there were small discussions in every corner of the square.

Liang Zijun and Liao Fanzhi looked at each other, they both smiled but said nothing. "Don't answer? You still have a chance"

"Don't answer, let the poor students show off, I have to recharge my energy to grab the first prize." Liang Zijun pulled out the folding fan from his waist, unfolded it with a snap, and covered his face.

"I'm going to die, why did I know such a shameless guy like you?... No, it's not because of your wife, right? You're not, it's just one or two, tsk tsk..." Liang Zijun silently bowed his head to calculate when he heard his friend's dislike , Is it cost-effective to recover this account with interest?

In the end, the answer to the mystery was revealed by Shen Shuyan. Since taking the exam, Shen Shuyan's unique arrogance has gradually been restrained, replaced by calmness and grandeur. , everyone on the stage nodded their heads one after another, and couldn't help praising, "Young people are awesome, this kid has become more stable after the entrance examination, not bad..."

"Motivating patience comes from "so tempting patience has benefited what it couldn't do. "The so-called tempting is to shake the heart, and patience is to strengthen the will. It is a metaphor for tempering the body and mind after going through hardships, and persevering in spite of external resistance..." Shen Shu copied it with his hands on his back. Not only the source and The meaning is clear, and the riddle is interpreted as "moving the heart of spring" and "enduring lust", respectively summarizing the meaning of the two poems before and after the riddle, and the meaning is very good.

The riddles are full of wit and wit, and the answers to the riddles are detailed, with a strong contrast between "movement" and "forbearance", forming an interesting contrast.Although the riddle is touching, it does not make people feel obscene. Although the answer involves "sex", it does not feel erotic.

Many students in the square benefited a lot from this explanation, and couldn't help boasting, even Liang Zijun applauded the explanation well.

This room was extremely lively, Chen Qing was eating wontons while listening to the clerk in the shop with great interest.Sure enough, ordinary people can participate in official riddles. Chen Qingguang was dizzy when he heard this riddle with ancient Chinese characters and sources, and he had no clue about the answer.

"Yo~ What a coincidence, we met again." The white-clothed scholar suddenly appeared in front of him, and Chen Qing was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly pulled people to ask, "Where have you been? I have been looking for you for a long time, but did you see the message I left for you?" message?"

"I see, unfortunately I missed it due to urgent matters. It's not too late to see you now. Are you interested in guessing the last riddle?" The white-clothed scholar ordered a bowl of Chaos from the waiter, and sat down generously, completely unaware of the unfamiliarity.

Chen Qing shook her head, "It's too difficult, I can't figure it out even if I want to guess, this 25 taels is the lottery from before"

The white-clothed scholar smiled and pushed back, "You can keep it."

Chen Qing immediately shook his head, "No, we got it together, without your help, I'm afraid I don't even know the rules."

Seeing Chen Qing's insistence, the white-clothed scholar accepted without hesitation, "How about we work together again?"

"How to cooperate?" Chen Qing wondered.

"Let me guess, and you answer," the white-clothed scholar pointed at the table and said.

"Since you can solve the riddle, why don't you answer it yourself? I heard that the county lord will personally reward it. Isn't this the opportunity for scholars and students to gain fame?" Chen Qing vetoed.

The scholar in white shook his head and chuckled, "Fame is like floating clouds to me. I have no plans to go to school, and I don't want to get fame. The life of idle clouds and wild cranes is the world I yearn for."

Is there really such a bright and clean person in the world who regards fame and wealth as nothing?Chen Qing couldn't help his eyes brighten, and looked at the white-clothed scholar as if he were a rare species, but the white-clothed scholar who provoked him embarrassedly raised his sleeves to cover it up, "Didn't brother laugh at Xiaosheng's ambition?"

"How can a sparrow know the ambition of a grand swan? Don't underestimate yourself," Chen Qing murmured involuntarily.I don't want the scholar in white to have tears in his eyes as if he met a confidant, how about a thousand li horse?However, Bole's longing cannot be met.All the students in the world are deluded by fame and wealth, and they spend their whole life's talents and learning in order to gain fame and fame. Those who don't think about making progress and only want to survive will be regarded as people who don't think about making progress and rely on their talents. "It is a great blessing for Xiaosheng to meet my brother in this life"

Chen Qing was overwhelmed by this sudden move, and pulled back the palm tightly held by the white-clothed scholar to comfort him, "You... don't get too excited, I'm just talking casually... I didn't say this again, it's me. As the ancients said, I just borrowed it."

"No, no, even if you borrow it, how many people can understand Xiaosheng's will?" The white-clothed scholar wiped away his tears, sighed emotionally, and couldn't help dismissing his previous calculations.Zhengse apologized to Chen Qing "I'm sorry"

Chen Qing is like Monk Zhang Er who can't figure it out. Could it be that this person is stupid in reading and reading? What's wrong with this?I really don't understand these ancient scholars. Some of them have a high self-esteem and are disgusting, and some are insane and crazy like the white-clothed scholar.Is Shen Shuquan like a scholar who is easy to get along with, that is, he is upright and modest, and I don't know how he is now, whether the scientific examination is going well?

Chen Qing's thoughts were wandering, but he didn't know that the white-clothed scholar's heart had turned a thousand times.He originally wanted to push a manipulative countryman like Chen Qing to the front of others, and then make a lot of money by manipulating the gamblers. He was originally in this business, so he didn't think about the aftermath of the people he used at all. Will there be trouble.

Anyway, this kind of honest person who doesn't have a lot of ink in his stomach will not discover the mystery, and after the event is completed, he will gain both fame and fortune. Why not do it?Maybe with his promotion, it will be achieved overnight, and he will be integrated into the ranks of the upper third class.Who would have thought that after a conversation, he would suddenly realize that what he did would really push him to the cusp of the storm. This kind of honest person has no calculations in his heart, and he might suffer a hidden loss. Mu Xiuyu Lin Feng wanted to urge him , wouldn't it be a sin if he got into the quagmire because of himself?

The white-clothed scholar who regards Chen Qing as his confidant, secretly made up his mind that the gambling table has already been settled, so he has to continue to act. Even if he helps him win the jackpot, he will definitely divert the trouble to the east so as not to hurt his brother .

When Chen Qing couldn't figure it out, he stopped burning his brains. Instead, he regarded it as a quirk unique to scholars. He turned to greet the waiter for another pot of good tea, and planned to chat with the white-clothed scholar while waiting for Liang Zijun to return.

Chen Qingyuan was sitting against the wall, but when he turned his head, the light blue ribbon tied behind his head was revealed.The white-clothed scholar stared blankly at the streamer for a long time, until Chen Qing felt a little awkward, reached out and pulled the streamer and laughed, "I didn't mean to hide it on purpose..."

Before Chen Qing finished speaking, the white-clothed scholar rushed out the door with a pale face. Chen Qing stood up wanting to chase after thinking about it, but fell back on the stool discouraged.

It is rare to meet a guy who can speak a few words, even if he is a bit hypocritical, Chen Qing thinks it is good to make this friend, and wants to introduce him to Liang Zijun.Who would have thought that once this person knew that he was not a man, he would be the same as others, and he would be too scared to run away...

Feeling depressed, Chen Qing didn't want to stay here and wait for Liang Zijun, so after paying for the meal, she got up and went outside to breathe.The night wind blew slowly, and Chen Qing was in a trance. Is there no place for Chen Qing in this world?

The land of being a woman in the distance is extremely wide, but the path of a man under his feet is getting narrower and narrower, and finally shrinks to the bottom of his feet and makes him unable to move. the bottom of the abyss?

Chen Qing trembled inwardly, no, he can't compromise, it is the true nature of a man to stick to his heart, if he even forces himself to become a woman, then he will be completely wiped out from the world, the new Chen Qing is waving to him, But he can't, and doesn't want to.

The lonely Chen Qing hugged herself and shrank in the corner, as lonely and sad as the villain deep in her heart...
