[Red House] The First Imperial Merchant

Chapter 15 Xue Pan, your odds are great

Zhao Guoji entered Aunt Zhao's small courtyard, Xiaoru saw her and said, "Brother Huan just fell asleep, is there something important?"

"It's important, but it's not bad for Brother Huan to sleep. I'll wait in this yard for Brother Huan to wake up." Zhao Guoji found a stone bench and sat down. Xiao Ru went to the small kitchen to bring a pot of hot tea to Zhao Guoji Poured the cup and said in a low voice: "Then you wait here, I will go in and watch Brother Huan, if Brother Huan wakes up, I will call you."

Zhao Guoji held the tea in one hand, and secretly touched his chest with the other to make sure that nothing inside was lost, then smiled and said, "Please trouble Miss Ru."

Since Mrs. Wang was sent to the suburbs to recuperate from illness, Wang Xifeng took over all the affairs of Jia's house. At the beginning, because of Jia Huan's murder, Jia's mother had discussed with the second bedroom of the big house. No matter how close she was to Mrs. Wang when she was not married, now in Jia's mansion, she is from the first house, and her aunt is from the second house. The succession of the Jia family can only be the matter of her husband Jia Lian. If other people want to make up their minds, don't care about your aunt or nephew, don't blame her for being cruel.Now, although she is in charge of the internal affairs of the mansion, Jia Huan's mother in the small courtyard ordered that all the girls should pay for food and clothing according to the food and clothing of the other girls, and what is indispensable, don't ask too much about other things. I love reading and reading. Playing and playing, in short, there is no shortage of money and a laissez-faire attitude.

Now Jia Huan’s courtyard is considered a special existence in the whole Jia’s mansion. The old matriarch still didn’t take a look at it, but the maids in Jia’s mansion no longer dare to provoke her, let alone some maids who dared to scold Aunt Zhao in the past. , Now try to avoid it if you can’t walk around, but if you have something to pass by the small road in front of Jia Huan’s courtyard, you can detour if you can, and trot if you can’t. In short, Jia Huan’s courtyard has become a bad place. Didn't you see that Mrs. Wang went there and already suffered from an old illness, so she couldn't stay outside to recuperate?

Jia Huan couldn't wait for such an environment!With a little energy, I ordered Aunt Zhao to order all the nails arranged by Mrs. Wang to do rough work. Anyway, once Mrs. Wang left, there was no one to support her. Jia Huan was the only master in the whole yard. Even though Aunt Zhao was Jia Huan’s relative Mother, but you can't be regarded as a serious master.

After recuperating for nearly two months, Jia Huan was still weak and weak. His head was dizzy and his face was pale all day long. In the circle, he panted too much and his face flushed abnormally. Jia Zheng came here twice. Seeing Jia Huan like this, he couldn't express his anger at first. Mrs. Wang is taking care of her body.

"Water." A thin white hand stretched out from the edge of the veil. The wrist was thin and narrow like skin wrapped around bones. It looked pitiful. The voice inside the veil was even weaker and inaudible. Xiao Ru, who stood guard on the step, stared intently inside, probably not listening.

Xiao Ru hurriedly got up, poured a cup of ginseng tea warmed on the tea stove, and hurried into the room, "Brother Huan, tea."

Jia Huan took the cup and drank it slowly even though his throat was dry. His body is useless now. If he doesn't take care of it... His eyes are cold, and everyone in Jia's mansion may be staring blankly. I hope he dies soon.

"Uncle Zhao is here, and he said that something urgent is waiting outside---"

After thinking about it for a while, Jia Huan knew why Zhao Guoji came here, and interrupted Xiao Ru, "Let him in."

Zhao Guoji hurried into the house, and Xiao Ru was a smart guy who closed the door and guarded the yard.Zhao Guoji entered the inner room and saw Jia Huan on the bed wearing a single shirt and covering the quilt only after waking up, his eyes were moved, and he said, "You are weak and don't get cold." He put the clothes on Jia Huan.

"Uncle, sit down." Jia Huan said with a smile.He is currently suffering from the cold, no matter how hot the weather is, he still feels cold, the maids in the yard are all wearing single clothes, but he is still wearing a layered cotton coat.

Zhao Guoji heard the words and sat on the small round wooden stool beside the bed, "Uncle can only be called when no one is around---"

"I understand, there are big rules in the mansion." Jia Huan was full of sarcasm when talking about the mansion.The two chatted for a while, then Zhao Guoji took out a stack of banknotes from his chest and handed them to Jia Huan, "Brother Huan expected it right, this Xue Pan won the first prize, and he earned a total of 580 four taels." One hundred silver bills and one fifty, and the remaining 34 in a dusty bag.

Jia Huan never imagined that the first money he earned after his rebirth was from Xue Pan, so he took it all without hesitation. Now that he is in desperate need of money, this time is not the time to show off his face and give money. Besides, his uncle Zhao Guoji Now that I am on the same boat as myself, there will be more opportunities to earn money in the future, and there is no need to spend dozens of taels.

Zhao Guoji has been convinced since seeing Jia Huan's ruthless side to him. He firmly believes that Jia Huan's broken ship will have a future. Although it is a broken ship now, it may be a luxury ship in the future. The current petty profit is naturally not good. In the eyes, it can turn more than 50 taels of silver into more than 500 taels of visible means.

Since ancient times, there have been many casinos among the people, and they have been banned repeatedly. There are gambling methods with cards and dice. As long as the dealer can afford the game, there will be gamblers who can afford to bet. However, these gambling methods are not in the eyes of scholars. Every three years in the palace examination, there will be those who fail the rankings, and those who fail the rankings, take a bet on who will be the champion of this year's new subject!This kind of betting method was originally just a small bet among scholars for pleasure and elegance. Later, gambling houses also intervened, and the game became bigger.But in the past, it was a small profit. After all, I would try to win the first place and rarely lose the number one by accident. I used to bet on the second place in the ranking. It's not a matter of making a small fortune, but no one has ever thought that the sixth place will be the champion, so when Zhao Guoji approached Xue Pan with Jia Huan's betting book, the odds were exciting and exciting. It's because of fear, this brother Huan is too courageous!He had never seen a sixth place winner, and there was no such precedent in the Daqing Dynasty!

On the day of the Palace Examination, Zhao Guoji and Jia Huan were no less concerned about Xue Pan than Xue Baochai, Zhao Guoji’s family. Zhao Guoji even stayed at the gate of Xue’s mansion. As long as someone from the palace issued an imperial edict, he would go up to inquire about news. Good news Can't seal it.On this day, Zhao Guoji was squatting at the corner of the gate of Xue's mansion with a hard steamed bun in his mouth. After waiting for a day until noon, there was no news. Covering his mouth and hissing, Xue Zhong who was standing at the door couldn't stand it any longer and asked the boy to bring him a bowl of hot water. He thought Zhao Guoji was some kind of idler, Xue Zhong, who was waiting for the news, naturally didn't Thoughts on pushing people and asking questions.

Waiting until the sun came to Xiluo, Zhao Guoji, who was squatting at the corner of the wall, had numb legs and no hope. He rubbed his legs and wanted to go back to answer, when he heard the sound of the gong approaching from far away. Xue Zhong, who was standing at the door, was even more active.A small eunuch rode a horse to the door first, met Xue Zhong and announced the good news: "Master Xue Pan Xue, the number one scholar in high school, the father-in-law who issued the decree will be here in a while, and the firecrackers and incense burners are all ready..." The little eunuch spoke quickly, and said everything that should be ordered in a while.

Xue Zhong welcomed the little eunuch into the house for tea, and the little eunuch clasped his fists and said, "There are two other families, so we won't go in for tea." Xue Zhong stuffed the silver horn bag he had prepared earlier when he saw it, and the little eunuch saw it He rode away smiling.

Everything was prepared in advance. Although Xue Wang felt that the chance of his son winning the first prize was small, but after hearing Xue Baochai's preparedness, it would be possible if he won the first prize, but he never thought that Xue Pan would come back with the first prize. Xi's mansion was full of joy, but there were still some rules.Mrs. Xue wept with joy. She was wearing a newly made red dress with dark flowers, which was very beautiful. Xue Baochai was wearing a beige dress, which was very beautiful. The two mother and daughter stood in the front yard. The incense burner table was ready. The eunuch who issued the decree...

Zhao Guoji didn't care about his numb legs, he ran faster than a rabbit, and hurried to the casino to collect money!Brother Huan is really good at predicting things!

Xue Pan came out of the palace on a big horse facing the afterglow of the setting sun. Now the entire capital knows that Xue Pan is the number one scholar, and the guards on the street want to see what Xue Pan looks like, and he can actually masturbate. Yuan Xiujin, a well-known talent in the capital, took the first place!

On a tall horse, the warm afterglow scattered on Xue Pan's body, as if covered with a layer of halo. He was different from the frailty of ordinary scholars. Xue Pansheng has a big frame, thick eyebrows, big eyes and firm chin. This handsome general, if you take a closer look, there is a trace of Confucian temperament on his body, such a mixture is hard to move your eyes away.

The Xue family was full of excitement, but the Yuan Mansion four roads away was deserted, and the cutscenes were simple. The old lady in the mansion didn't have a happy face. He locked himself in the room and couldn't come out. There was a clanging sound in the study, and none of the servants dared to ask questions.

Three days later, Qionglin banquet.

Emperor Pingkang ordered the eunuch to pass the message, he was not in good health, but the eldest prince and the second prince rushed over to join in the fun.The eldest prince is thirty-two years old this year, with a beard, and looks ten years older. There are fine wrinkles around his eyes. When he smiles, he looks very elegant, especially when he is stroking his beard. He looks much kinder, but Xue Pan Just can't appreciate it.The second prince is 22 years old, handsome, tall, with big and bright eyes, but with a hooked nose and thin lips, he is very cold when he is not smiling, and the second prince doesn't like to smile very much.

Xue Pan secretly came to the conclusion that these two princes are not easy to mess with, one is Ming Sao and the other is Secret Sao.Xue Pan didn't want to stand in line, but the two princes obviously didn't think so, especially Xue Pan was still an upset. At this moment, the gloomy second prince spoke first, squinting his eyes, and said coldly: "Where is Xue Pan, the new champion?!"
