Chapter 355 Shared Joy
Shen Jingzhen looked at the banknotes on the table, swallowed, and felt her heart tighten.
Although she was certain that Brother Bochang would win, she was still uneasy and nervous when she put all her assets into it.
All the money she had previously had was squandered on the farm.
In the early stage, many of the evil slaves dispersed after being dealt with. Later, Feng Bochang was rescued. Because he couldn't bear to see him suffer, he served him with good food every day.
He was already injured and needed good care of himself, so all the money was spent like water in a short time.
When Feng Bochang left, she was so worried that she gave him the only 1,200 taels of silver she had left.
Fortunately, she was taken back to the Shen Mansion not long after.
Unfortunately, she thought that the clouds would finally clear and the moon would appear, but she did not expect that the second house would be in charge of the household expenses, and her mother did not have much money because of the previous incidents.
She tried several times and spent a lot of time and effort.
She reluctantly gave her five thousand taels of silver, and frankly said that she still had to manage the mansion and prepare a dowry for Yu Jie'er, and she could not give more for three or four years.
So, it can be said that these five thousand taels of silver were her entire fortune.
An Wangxiao stood aside, looking at her with a smile and said, "Little girl, you have good taste! Deputy Commander Fengdu has a great chance of winning, and many people have bet on him, so the odds are not high, only one to three!"
"One to three?" Shen Jingzhen asked.
The twelfth prince standing aside was a chubby and white boy. He was not as majestic as the other princes. Instead, he was full of the shrewdness of a businessman. His eyes were rolling around as if he was obsessed with money.
"Yes, that is to say, if Feng Bochang wins, you can earn 10,000 taels!" said the twelfth prince cheerfully.
After hearing this, Shen Jingzhen became more excited.
That means that she will have 15,000 taels in her hand by then. With 15,000 taels of silver, she can accomplish many things, and she will have more confidence!
"Are you going to buy it? If not, please make way for others!" The Twelfth Prince looked at her expression and said impolitely.
"That's right, don't block here. If you don't want to buy, get out of the way!" An impatient general urged impatiently.
Shen Jingzhen gritted her teeth and said, "Buy it!"
"Okay!" Soon, the twelfth prince recorded the money in the account and gave her a receipt.
Shen Jingzhen carefully put away the bill as if she had found a treasure, then turned to look at Shen Shuyi and sneered, "You are so sure that Qingyuan Marquis Mansion can win, I wonder how much money you are willing to spend for your two cousins?"
Shen Shuyi's almond-shaped eyes were cold, and he said calmly: "Not much, one thousand taels, bet on Zhao Baopeng to win."
The girl's voice was clear and crisp.
Shen Jingzhen sneered, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful. She regretted that she had taken out five thousand taels of silver: "After all your big talk just now, you could only take out one thousand taels of silver in the end?"
"It seems that Second Sister is not as optimistic about the Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion as she said. After all, how could a poor family like the Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion win in the end? And how can a fool like Zhao Baopeng be compared with Lord Feng!"
Shen Shuyi smiled, looked at the twelfth prince, and slowly uttered two words: "Gold."
"What...what?" The twelfth prince was stunned for a moment. Although he always regarded money as dirt, he hadn't made such a big purchase for a long time.
One thousand taels of gold, wow, just thinking about it makes me happy!
There was no need for Shen Shuyi to explain, Jinzhu had already placed the box of gold ingots that the Queen Mother had just rewarded her with on the long table.
"Okay!" The twelfth prince smiled happily, checked it roughly, took the gold away immediately, and asked someone to write a receipt for Shen Shuyi.
Prince An, who was standing by, was still fanning himself coquettishly with his folding fan in the cold weather. Seeing Shen Shuyi's big move, he couldn't help but remind her, "Miss Shen, your cousin's chances of winning are not great. Do you want to reconsider it?"
Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice: "Thank you for your reminder, Your Majesty. It's not necessary."
Shen Jingzhen was so angry that she couldn't speak for a long time. She thought that her five thousand taels were already a huge sum of money, but she didn't expect Shen Shuyi to take out one thousand taels of gold!
She really is... ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth...
Shen Jingzhen looked at her with a sneer and said, "Shen Shuyi, I'm waiting to see you cry bitterly after losing."
Shen Shuyi raised his eyebrows, but his cold expression said the worst words: "Then I can only wait and watch my third sister lose until she has nothing left but her hairpins."
"Hmph! Well, don't regret it! Lord Feng will definitely win the final victory!" Shen Jingzhen was sure, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.
"Next, next!" The Twelfth Prince was too lazy to pay attention to the quarrel between the two. Whatever they wanted to quarrel about, as long as it didn't delay him from making money.
Zhao Xueqing stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, thirty thousand taels, buy Zhao Baopeng's leftovers."
As he finished speaking, many people began to discuss in low voices.
"The Qingyuan Marquisate has made quite a lot of moves during this autumn hunt. Aren't you afraid that it might offend His Majesty?"
"What do you know? It's better to have a quick fight than to endure it in such a lukewarm way. Besides, even clay people have tempers. Now the Qingyuan Marquis's Mansion has been peaceful for many years. How can they be willing to continue to decline like this?"
"But this money will most likely be wasted. Your Majesty has a deep prejudice against the Marquis' Mansion. I'm sure that unless the victory is undisputed, the final victory will not fall on the Marquis' Mansion."
"Let's take a step back. Even if the Qingyuan Marquisate really wins, what will happen? His Majesty still won't employ the Zhao family."
"..."
The group was talking in a lively manner, and as they were not far away, Zhao Xueqing could hear their voices clearly.
She said nothing, but just looked at the bill in her hand seriously.
Because there are few buyers and the winning rate is not high, Zhao Baopeng's winning rate has reached the level of ten to one!
Because Zhao Baopeng is of a dull nature and seldom appears in public, he is not even as famous as his brother Baokun, whose odds are currently 8 to 1.
After several people here finished their shopping and left, Shen Shuyi walked out of the crowd and met Xie Jingchi.
Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "Master Xie also likes to bet?"
Xie Jingchi raised the corners of his lips and said in a cold voice: "There is no other way. We are very poor. We can only think of ways to make some money. It just so happens that His Majesty the Twelfth Prince has money."
Maybe it was because he heard his voice, but the twelfth prince glanced over here, shuddered, and subconsciously wanted to take all the silver on the table.
Shen Shuyi smiled and took the initiative, "Who do you plan to buy, Mr. Xie?"
Xie Jingchi lowered his eyes slightly, staring at the girl in front of him, and opened his rosy lips slightly: "Same as Miss Shen."
Shen Shuyi smiled again, but this time, her smile was much more lively: "Then I would like to congratulate you in advance, sir."
"Congratulations." Xie Jingchi curled his thin lips, his eyes were evil and charming, but his eyebrows were clear and upright.
Shen Shuyi left with Zhao Xueqing. Under a tree not far away, Xiao Tingshan and Wen Renzong watched them from afar.
Wenren Zongdao: "Who are you going to buy?"
