Marriage of the Di Daughter

The bet between Meng Hongjin, the daughter of the Chengxuan envoy's mansion, and Jiang Li, the first assistant's daughter, caused an uproar in Yanjing City. Even in the most remote alleys, in the humblest taverns, whenever someone talks about something new these days, someone will talk about it with gusto.

Big and small gambling houses have even started to set up bets, no matter young or old, they always have to buy a wave.

Wangxianlou was in its usual location, and there were three people drinking tea.

The green-shirted scribe looked at the endless crowd at the entrance of the gambling house opposite, and said with a smile: "The betting contract is fresh, which attracts people to come and follow."

"But it's all one-sided." A sergeant in armor——Kong Liu shook his head and said, "These people are crazy, they all bought Chengxuan to make the eldest lady of the family win, and no one bought Miss Jiang, tsk tsk tsk, it's really ugly. "He drank a cup of tea, drinking tea with a chic appearance as if drinking alcohol, patted the table, and said proudly: "I am the most sympathetic person, I don't see others bullying the weak, Wen Ji," he greeted the guards standing outside, He took out ten taels of silver from his pocket: "Help me go downstairs and buy Miss Jiang Er to win!"

"Don't say that you are very righteous." The green-clothed scribe straightened his beard and said with a smile: "Half an hour ago, you only spent one hundred taels of silver to buy Meng Hongjin to win."

Hearing this, Wen Ji suddenly showed contempt. Hey, spending ten taels of silver to buy Miss Jiang Er, and spending a hundred taels of silver to buy Miss Meng's family, Kong Liu is clearly making a steady profit without losing money, and he is just like those people outside, and he still has to put on a show.

Kong Liu was furious, looked at the scholar in blue and said angrily, "My surname is Lu, why did you find out my whereabouts, you are a rat?"

Lu Ji, the scribe in green shirt, ignored Kong Liu's questioning, looked to the side, and asked, "What does the Duke think?"

Ji Heng raised his eyelids and glanced lazily downstairs, saying, "I'm not interested."

"I didn't say that," Kong Liu said, "Although I appreciate Miss Jiang Er's courage to place a bet, it was the school exam for Mingyi Hall. Alas, my father wanted to send me to Mingyi Hall back then. My mother was kicked out without even touching the door, is Mingyi Hall accessible to ordinary people?" Kong Liu smacked his lips, "The little lady of the Meng family has stayed in Mingyi Hall for a few years anyway, Jiang The Second Miss is a newcomer, and that’s all. The place where the Second Miss Jiang stayed was a nunnery. Not to mention that the nunnery is still a romantic nunnery. No matter how popular the incense is, the nun is as good as the gentleman who came out of the palace? If the Second Miss Jiang can If you are better than the little lady of the Meng family, then you have seen a ghost."

"I don't agree." Lu Ji said: "Since Second Miss Jiang dared to say the bets, especially the three bets, the bets have increased layer by layer, and there must be something to rely on. Otherwise, why would she make trouble for herself by doing so much?"

"You usually look very smart, why are you so stupid now?" Kong Liu sneered: "Miss Jiang Er said so, so when we are fighting with us, let's talk harshly, and we must first overwhelm us in terms of momentum! How can there be so many deep meanings, you scholars, your thoughts are so complicated!"

The last sentence made Lu Ji choke heavily, and after a long while, he finally said: "You can't play the piano with cows."

"Roosters can't talk to ducks." Kong Liu retorted.

Ji Heng rested his chin in boredom, even such a casual movement, even if he did it, was quite aesthetically pleasing.

"My lord," Lu Ji looked at Ji Heng again, "The matter of Ye Shijie disrupted your lord's plan because of the relationship between Miss Jiang Er. Although I don't know if it was accidental, Miss Jiang Er seems to be rumored without reason. Permission becomes an opportunity, it is better to wait and see what happens, the Jiang family must not make mistakes in the plan, and Miss Jiang can be an introduction."

Kong Liu was puzzled: "Second Miss Jiang is not valued in the Jiang family, how does this affect the Jiang family's decision?"

Lu Ji quietly waited for the answer from the person opposite.

After a while, Ji Heng said: "The Jiang family's play hasn't started yet, don't worry." He beckoned, Wen Ji stepped forward, and Ji Heng said: "Take ten thousand taels of silver and go to Yanjing The biggest casino."

Kong Liu's eyes lit up: "Are you also planning to take this opportunity to make a fortune?"

"You have to watch the play until the end," Ji Heng chuckled, "Go, buy Miss Jiang Er to win."

...

There was a lot of noise in Yanjing City about his bet with Meng Hongjin, but Jiang Li didn't know about it. Because from that day on, she was "preparing for the exam with peace of mind" in Jiang's residence.

However, it is related to the reputation of the entire Jiang Manor, once Jiang Li's actions are spread, it will be a big deal if it reaches Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Yuanbai's ears.

In the Evening Phoenix Hall, Mrs. Jiang stared at Jiang Li with complicated eyes, and asked, "Girl Li, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Mother, don't be angry." Ji Shuran said cautiously: "After all, Li'er is young and easily impulsive, that's why she makes bets with others."

"Young," Jiang Yuanbai said coldly, "I'm already old enough, and I'll be old enough to talk about marriage in a few days, and I'm still so ignorant in doing things!"

In the Wanfengtang, there is only Dafang and his family. Although it was related to the entire Jiang family, it was Jiang Li who had the accident after all.

"Perhaps the second sister is confident." Jiang Youyao added fuel to the fire without hesitation, "That's why she accepted Miss Meng's bet so confidently, and even made a request."

It's okay not to mention this, but when it is mentioned, Jiang Yuanbai's heart is even more furious. He dislikes conceited and conceited people the most in his life, especially those who have no advantages. Looking at Jiang Li with harsh eyes, "I know your handwriting is good, but if you think that you can pass the Mingyi Hall school exam, then you are very wrong! Don't sit back and watch the sky, Jiang's family reappears. In self-knowledge, you don’t even know self-knowledge, and you dare to dream of winning the first place. You know, what you have lost is not only your lifetime reputation, but also the reputation of my Jiang family. If you lose, the entire Jiang family will be punished. People poke the spine!"

Jiang Li was very respectful on the surface, with timely apology, but absent-minded in his heart. Jiang Yuanbai and the others think that they are ignorant and generous, after all they don't know that they are not the real Second Miss Jiang. Being in a different place, if he faced such a situation, he would only feel that this matter was extremely ridiculous.

Jiang Li lowered her eyebrows and said pleasingly: "Father, I was wrong. I shouldn't be angry for a while, but now that the matter has come to this point, everyone in the city knows that canceling the betting contract at the moment is also being laughed at. You will be laughed at anyway, so why don't you try your best?" Give it a go, and there is still a slight chance of winning."

Everyone was stunned, and they didn't expect Jiang Li to admit his mistake so readily. And her attitude of admitting her mistakes was so good that Jiang Yuanbai couldn't even continue to scold her.

Jiang Li was calm and calm, and learned from Xue Zhao that "to admit mistakes is to be sincere and straightforward, and to make mistakes without looking back and striding boldly", such a posture is used to be useful.

Anyway, dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water, so only dead horses can be treated as living horse doctors.
