Chapter 2: Long Live the Book Boy
In a moment, he cheated four cents of money, which was equivalent to Chen Ao's four months of wages. Chen Ao held the silver worth four cents in his hand and felt very happy.
By the way, the ancients were so simple. Such a trick could lead to fooling people. It seems that time travel is not a bad thing.
Zhang Shao was so angry that his lips turned white, and he glared at Chen Ao in dissatisfaction.
Chen Ao smiled and said, "Are you not convinced?"
Zhang Shao blurted out: "Of course I don't accept it."
"I will give you another chance. Do you dare to bet another game?"
Zhang Shao hesitated, but when he saw Chen Ao looking like he was determined to take his own life, he was furious: "What kind of gambling method?"
Chen Ao smiled and took out the silver of the four-spin coins and put it on the ground: "You take out the four-spin coins again."
Zhang Shao thought about it and hesitated again. He had the money. Every time the young master went out, he would follow him. He would pay for some small things. After a while, he hid more than a dozen taels of silver in private. He also carried all the money on his back in order to prevent any time. However, this arrogant and mysterious thing made him pay more attention to it.
"This kid is too bullying. No matter what, he always has to bet with him." Zhang Shao gritted his teeth and took out a piece of silver worth four cents of coins to put it on the ground.
"Look, there is eight guan of money on the ground. You and I bid for each other. The higher the bid, the more the eight guan of money, the more you will win. How about it?" Chen Ao calmly gathered the broken silver into a pile, and the other two servants gathered together.
Zhang Shao nodded and said in his heart: "Whoever bids higher will get eight coins of money. Hehe, this is not easy, and I will never lose to you this time."
Chen Aoxian said: "Start now, I will bid for four jin of money."
Zhang Shao hurriedly said: "I bid for five stakes."
Chen Ao smiled and said, "Then I will give you six points."
Zhang Shao snorted coldly: "I'll make seven guan." He thought to himself: "I can get seven guan back and finally make some small profits, let alone win this guy once. Next time he wants to bid for eight guan, he won't make any profit. Haha, I will never lose this time."
Chen Ao shook his head in annoyance: "Can I pay 7 stakes of five hundred coins?"
Zhang Shao sneered: "Without this rule, it must be consistently superimposed."
Chen Ao sighed and said, "It seems that I lost. Okay, you give me the seven-civilian coins, and the eight-civilian coins will be yours."
Zhang Shao laughed: "Look at how you still dare to be arrogant!" After saying that, he took out a small piece of silver from the eight-cent coins and stumbled in his hand: "This is almost the one-cent coins, you can take away the remaining seven-cent coins."
Chen Ao smiled slightly, put away the broken silver of Qiguan coins and said, "This time you won, we will equalize today, and we will bet next time."
"Accompany at any time!" Zhang Shao proudly put away his usual money, but his face suddenly changed.
He took out four guan coins and collected eight guan coins together with Chen Ao. Now he has won eight guan, but four of them are his own money. He has also produced seven guan. After all, he has lost three guan.
"I've been fooled by this guy again!" Zhang Shao could no longer laugh and couldn't laugh or cry.
Chen Ao walked to another willow tree with a smile and basked in the sun, joking comfortably in his heart: "It seems that it is not too difficult to redeem yourself in a minute."
Seeing Zhang Shao's terrifying appearance, Chen Ao couldn't help but want to laugh.
"I will be a young man when I make money and redeem myself. I will buy a pleasure boat and drink and enjoy the scenery in the Bian River. This day does not seem to be bad."
It was already dark, and candle shadows flashed on the pleasure boat, and five-colored lanterns hung on the stern of the ship, which looked very beautiful.
Zhou Heng was drunk and was helped off the boat. Chen Ao took the lantern and found the coachman who was resting not far away. He also carried Zhou Heng onto the carriage. Chen Ao sat obliquely on the shaft of the car and returned home.
The mansion of Duke Qiguo covers an area of hundreds of acres and is majestic. The stone lion in front of the door is ferocious and ferocious, adding a bit of solemnity and sternness.
He greeted the maid from the inner palace to help Zhou Heng back to his dormitory to rest. Chen Ao's work today was completed. He lived in a corner in the northeast of Chen Mansion, and it looked much shabby with the magnificence there. It was a gray and old building, and the servants had a bedroom. The one who lived with Shen Ao was named Wu Saner. When Chen Ao came back, he said with a sad face: "Brother Shen, you are finally back. Hey, why are you drunk?"
Chen Ao took the copper basin and poured some water to clean his hands, saying, "It's nothing, look at you like this, may you sneak out of the house and bet on money with people again?"
Wu Saner said angrily: "I ran into Hu Liushou again. I lost all the monthly money for a month to him. I am afraid I can't send money to my mother in the countryside this month." He slapped himself: "It's all my fault. I know I lost nine out of ten bets, but I can't help it. I always want to win back the money I lost in the past, ah..."
Chen Ao smiled and took out his usual money and gave it to him: "Take it and send it to your mother."
Wu Saner was stunned for a moment: "Brother Shen, you... you don't have any surplus, why should I ask for your money? Besides, you haven't paid this month's monthly money yet, where did this money come from?"
Wu Saner is good at everything, but she is good at gambling. She loses everything every time before she can stop.
Wu Saner and Chen Ao have been together for more than a month. Chen Ao was weak when he just traveled through time, and he was still taking care of him. Chen Ao has always kept this kindness in his heart.
Chen Ao stuffed the money in his hand: "You just hold it, I still have it here."
Wu Saner took the money and quickly thanked her, saying excitedly: "I will send this money back to the countryside tomorrow and will never bet again."
Chen Ao heard this sentence a lot. He smiled, sat on the edge of the bed and took off his boots, took off his feet and took off the white cloth. He followed Master Zhou and was crazy outside for a day, and his tiredness had already come.
Wu Saner said: "I heard from the head of the foreign government that the young master was going to study in the Imperial Academy for a few days. According to the wife's intention, she wanted to select a book boy from the mansion. She was best to be similar to the young master, and it would be better to be able to read and write."
Chen Ao said: "What's the point of Shutong? Isn't it a servant?"
Wu Saner said: "This is different. The book boy can go to the inner palace to accompany the young master to study, and he doesn't have to do miscellaneous work. Even his monthly money is three times that of ordinary servants."
"Is there such a good thing?" Chen Ao rolled up from the couch, and his sleepiness suddenly disappeared: "It seems that Shutong is a very promising profession."
Wu Saner said: "I advise Brother Shen not to think about this. There are already rumors in the mansion. The heads of the inner and outer mansions are all staring at this fat man. They have relatives in the countryside, and they just recommend their relatives. Where can we have a way out?"
Chen Ao said: "This is not necessarily the case. It's up to man to easily get three times the monthly money and can enter the inner palace...tsk tsk...let me think about it."
Wu Saner said in surprise: "Uncle Mansion? Brother Shen, you are not for the maids in front of those ladies, are you?"
Chen Ao smiled and said, "You can see this. You are so smart and predictable."
Speaking of women, Wu Saner suddenly became energetic: "I want to tell me that the girls in front of her are the most beautiful in Chun'er. Haha, when you say this, I want to be a book boy, at least I can always see her every now and then, tsk..."
"But Xiaoxiang is not bad either. Although she can't compare to Chun'er, but her figure and breasts... Hello, Brother Shen, are you listening to me?"
Chen Ao was half dreaming and half awake, and a person came to his mind. He vaguely heard Wu Saner calling him, but he was unwilling to respond.
Many thoughts emerged in my mind, "Why did Miss Zhou be born with a natural beauty? Zhou Heng is a standard Zhu Bajie. It's very puzzling, could it be..."
