Chapter 202: dangerous situation
Chapter 202 Dangerous situation
I haven't seen each other for half a month, Jiang Erye reached out and picked up the little girl and hugged her, and then said dissatisfiedly, "I've lost weight."
"Not thin." Jiang Liu replied.
"Aren't you thin?" Jiang Erye didn't believe it.
"I'm not thin!" After the four sisters of the Jiang family answered in unison, Jiang Mujin said with bright eyes, "Second Uncle has practiced a lot, and his strength has grown, so I feel that Sixth Sister is lighter, right?"
Jiang Erye added some heroic peach eyes and turned, "It makes sense!"
"Second Uncle, you must be a jinshi!" Jiang Mujin clenched her two small fists, but she had put all the New Year's money in the past few years.
"Okay." Jiang Erye, who had already answered countless times in the city, responded casually, "How much did you press?"
Jiang Murong hurriedly said, "Second Uncle, we each bet six taels of silver! It's up to you whether we can earn it back!"
"Dad, the big sister even bet on her dowry money." Jiang Liu whispered in his father's ear. Recently, there have been too many gambling games in Kang'an City, making people feel that they can't keep up with the situation without betting. I can't even get in when I go out to chat.
Jiang Erye smiled, "It doesn't matter, the second uncle will pay you ten times if you lose."
Jiang Murong naturally blushed when she heard Sixth Sister's words. Jiang Muyan reminded softly, "Father, grandmother is still waiting for you in the inner courtyard."
Jiang Erye nodded, put down his little girl, and walked in with a nest of girls for a while, and his nephews came together again. Saburo asked with a smile, "Sanlang bet on the second uncle with a hundred hits, so the second uncle has to work harder!"
Xiao Shiro said, "Second uncle can miss one arrow, Shiro pressed twenty-nine arrows."
"all hit!"
"Twenty-nine arrows!"
Seeing that the two nephews were about to pinch, Erye Jiang gave them a burst of chestnuts, "You don't learn well at a young age!"
Xiaoshiro covered his head and said, "The sisters are also being held, why didn't the second uncle beat them?"
"Shiro!" Jiang Murong and Jiang Mujin roared in unison, "Are you asking for a beating?"
The children were lively, and Erye Jiang was very happy. He went to the north courtyard and sat next to his mother for tea. Mrs. Jiang looked at her son and said distressedly, "It's dark and thin."
"No matter how dark it is, Ling'er will not be dark." Jiang Erye laughed happily, "Mother sends food to Zhuangzi every day, and my son has finished eating, and he has not lost any weight."
Mrs. Jiang showed a satisfied smile, "How sure are you?"
Jiang Erye smiled and said, "I'm quite sure that Guo Jingping will be able to enter the top one."
Mrs. Jiang gave her son a displeased look, "How about you?"
Jiang Erye hehe, "If the sky opens his eyes, and the ancestors bless him, he may be able to enter the second-class."
The Great Zhou Imperial Examination is divided into three top grades: the first grade three are called Jinshi and the second, namely the champion, the second place, and the third flower. Guo Jingping can be a sparring player in the first class, and you need the blessing of your ancestors to enter the second class! Mrs. Jiang was angry and distressed, but it was now that she could no longer put pressure on him, "Feng'er don't need to think too much, the entrance exam is, even if you don't get into the top three, it doesn't matter. next time."
next time? Jiang Erye was shocked, and immediately assured, "Don't worry, mother, I'm just making you happy, I'll definitely be in the top two!"
Chen's eyes rolled around twice after hearing this. In the evening, Jiang Song inquired about the second brother's homework and returned to the room. Mrs. Chen diligently waited on her husband to change and wash up, and then asked, "Master, do you think the second brother will be able to become a jinshi this time?"
"There should be no problem with Mo Yi, but it's still hard to say what Ce asked. If you're on the field, you have to see how you respond. However, you should have six points of confidence." Jiang Song was already very satisfied with the result, "I didn't think he would be able to hit the ball. Jinshi, the second brother has been able to persevere until now, which has taught people to be impressed."
Thanks to Guo Jingping for this, if he hadn't been training hard with the second brother, the second brother would never have persisted until now. After the palace exam is over, you have to thank others.
The husband is safe in speaking and doing things. He says six points, and he should have eight points if he talks less! Eight points to grasp! Chen shi's eyes are turning faster. Now in the gambling game opened in the West Market, if you buy five hundred taels to buy the second brother to be a jinshi, you can earn two hundred taels, and one hundred taels can give your daughter a few more hairpins and one more match. Vice bracelet...
"What is Madam thinking?" Jiang Song asked.
Chen shi grabbed her husband and told her husband about the gambling game, "My mother gave my concubine five hundred taels of silver to make a dowry for Rong'er, if the bet is on..."
"If you lose the bet, you won't even have these five hundred taels!" Jiang Song lowered his face, "Isn't there less about gambling and losing families? Even the lady who paid her daughter's dowry dare to gamble? If Rong'er knew, What should she think?"
She gambled all her New Year's money...Chen Shi thought in her heart, but she said, "My concubine is wrong."
In the study room of the outer courtyard, after the eldest brother left, Jiang Erye and the third brother met head-to-head and muttered, "Third brother, how is the situation?"
"Second brother, don't worry, things have been settled." Jiang Huai laughed, "One thousand taels of silver will give the second brother the chance to become a jinshi. Three thousand taels will give Guo Jingping the first grade."
These 4,000 taels are the money that the second brother took out from the bottom of the box, plus his own private house money. If this is said to be lost, the brothers will be really poor.
Jiang Erye is so happy.
It doesn't make sense. I practiced hard for a long time, and the silver was caught by others. For more than a month, he asked his third brother to spread rumors that he was sleeping late in Jiangjiazhuang and refused to practice arrows and read. In order to confirm this rumor, Jiang Erye also went out of the village for a few laps every once in a while, spitting bitterness. These repeated suspicions, abruptly raised the odds of being a jinshi by two points!
As for Guo Jingping, although he hasn't shown much, people can't understand his depth, but he is also the solution of Fujian Road, and he can bet on the market.
Jiang Huai whispered again, "Second brother, I re-bet a game, betting that the second brother will hit all 30 arrows. The odds are high, 5 to 10."
Jiang Erye snorted in his heart, "How much did you buy?"
"One thousand eight hundred taels." Jiang Huai smiled, "All the money earned from the second brother Zhongju and Guo Jingping's entry into the first division is put into it."
Jiang Erye was distressed, "It's easier said than done with all thirty arrows!"
"So when the second brother shoots arrows, don't shoot wherever you want, look for the target, think about the method taught by Master Lu, shoot the arrow with one arrow, and you will definitely hit the target." Jiang Huai encouraged the second brother. The second brother has the foundation and has been practicing hard for more than a year. As long as he can keep his temper, it is possible to get all the way.
Jiang Erye patted the third brother on the shoulder, "If I win this time, all the money I get will be kept for Rong'er's dowry."
"Okay." Jiang Huai replied with a smile. Life was difficult in the mansion, and the dowry of the eldest niece could not be compared with that of her aunt, but it could not be too much worse. With less dowry, the niece can't raise her head at her husband's house.
Jiang Erye returned to the bedroom and asked his son with a smile, "Has Ling'er made a bet?"
Jiang Ling, who was reading, nodded, "Go on."
"How many?"
"I bought two hundred taels, and if I buy Uncle Guo, I can get into the first class." Jiang Ling said calmly.
"Crack!" Jiang Erye slapped, "Have vision!"
The next day was another day for piano lessons. The four sisters of the Jiang family had eaten early and rushed to the piano shop. After a morning of study, the four of them came out of the piano shop and got on the carriage. Who would have guessed that the carriage broke down halfway through.
Dear book friends, I’m really sorry. A few days ago, Chunnuan went out for a while, and when I came back, I caught a cold. The more I struggled, the more severe it became. I went for an infusion this morning and slept in the afternoon, and now I have the mental code.
The first update will be delivered, and the second update will start immediately.
