Datang New Giants

Chapter 142 A Bet That Doesn't Matter

"Look, come out, come out."

In the box, when Zheng Zihan saw a person appearing, he suddenly pointed in the direction of the lamp building and shouted happily.

Zheng Yanzhi looked in the direction she pointed, and suddenly her pupils closed. The distance was not far, the lanterns were bright enough, and the railing poles on the sixth floor were also very low, without any obstructions. You could clearly see Lu Ting swaggering up the lantern tower. sixth floor.

He walked briskly, chatting and laughing with the son of the Changsun Mansion while walking, obviously in a good mood.

The activities of fetching lanterns from the Magpie Bridge, the ladies of Shueisha have known for a long time that it is not an exaggeration to say that a person who can climb to the sixth floor is a genius. Lu Ting passed five levels in a row, which once again proved his talent. The prodigal son, who doesn't see anyone on weekdays, seems to be too busy to take time off. Whenever there is such an activity, he will immediately participate in it.

A womanizer is a womanizer, a dog who can't change eating shit, Zheng Yanzhi secretly despises it.

"I saw it, I saw it, it's really handsome."

"I heard that he came to Chang'an, but I have never had the chance to see him. I finally saw him."

"Beautiful talent, good-looking talent, it would be great if Yonu's family can enjoy lanterns together."

"Wang Rongrong, you are such a rascal. You used to say that the eldest grandson is unparalleled in the world, and you changed so soon."

Several women chattered, there were no outsiders in the box, they changed their demure and elegant appearance before others, and became enthusiastic and unscrupulous, and Zheng Yanzhi asked in surprise: "No way, just like him , is also called a good-looking talent?"

Zheng Zihan nodded and said, "Isn't that good enough? Mr. Fang is the most outstanding disciple of Wenzhong Academy in recent years. He is known as the number one talent in the south of the Yangtze River. His reputation has spread to Chang'an. He is handsome and has a high reputation."

"That's right." Wang Rongrong nodded and said, "When Mr. Fang was still in Wenzhong Academy, the iceman who came to propose a marriage quickly stepped on the threshold of Fang's family. Don't think about the big things in life."

"If Mr. Fang comes to my house to propose marriage, if Ye Niang refuses, I will definitely go on a hunger strike to let them see it."

"Don't think about it, you little rascal also miss Mr. Fang, even if it's the turn, it's Miss Ben's turn first."

Several women pointed at Fang Shiqiang who was standing on the sixth floor, and pointed excitedly. Zheng Yanzhi suddenly realized that the person they were talking about was different from the person she thought.

That's right, Deng Tu prodigal son is just a little person with no reputation. If he wants to have no family background, if he wants to be famous but not famous, even if he enters the Qin Palace, he is still a low-ranking little principal. How can those ladies and famous ladies in Shuei Club pay more attention to him.

Zheng Zihan rolled her eyes, and suddenly said with a smile: "Sisters, it's boring to watch, why don't you have some fun."

"Looking for some fun? Okay, Sister Zihan, you have the most ideas, talk about what fun you have." Cui Shaowei, who is close to Zheng Zihan, immediately agreed.

Wang Rongrong also nodded and said: "It's still too far away, I can't see how they pass the test, it's good to have some fun."

Several little girls also agreed one after another, pulling Zheng Zihan to play.

Zheng Zihan thought for a while, and quickly said: "Well, let's bet on who can win the bull head lamp. Bet on the house boy who wins the lamp, two pay one, and bet on others who win the lamp, one pays one. Come on, place a bet .”

In the eyes of the women, among the many people who participated in the Queqiao to win the lamp, Fang Shiqiang, who is known as the most talented person in the south of the Yangtze River, has the greatest chance, and has no objection to Zheng Zihan's bet.

It's just to have fun, so you have ten puns and I have five puns, and most of them are betting on Fang Shiqiang.

"Sister Zhi, you're the only one left, why don't you join in the fun?" Zheng Zihan suddenly asked Zheng Yanzhi who was quiet at the side.

My own cousin is good at everything, but she is a little out of gregarious.

Zheng Yanzhi shook her head and said, "It's not interesting."

It is a waste of time to watch these boring activities, and it is even more boring to bet on which womanizer will win the bull head lamp.

Wouldn't it be more interesting to go home and read a book and solve a few problems?

Zheng Zihan said with a smile: "Sister Zhi, all the sisters have participated, and you can't lag behind. You always say that you are right, and that everything can be analyzed by clear calculations. My sister will take a look, are you right?" Just talk and don't practice fake moves."

Seeing that Zheng Yanzhi was still a little unmoved, Zheng Zihan quickly threw out a temptation that Zheng Yanzhi could hardly refuse: "I know you have always wanted that desk made of agarwood, so I will take it as a bet this time."

Zheng Zihan accidentally got a desk made of agarwood. It was made of a whole piece of precious agarwood. It is said that fishermen accidentally discovered it when they were fishing in the sea. It took two months to salvage it.

That agarwood desk is very rare. It is dark with golden lines, and exudes a pleasant fragrance. Using it to write and draw is very refreshing. Zheng Yanzhi accidentally found that when doing calculations on the desk, she has a lot of concentration. Easy to concentrate, always wanted, begged several times, but Zheng Zihan just refused to let go.

"Sister Han, are you serious?" Zheng Yanzhi said in disbelief.

Zheng Zihan said solemnly: "Really"

"What should I bet on?" Zheng Yanzhi asked calmly.

"Let me choose one of the jewelry set passed down by my ancestors." Zheng Zihan said quickly: "Because the odds are different, if Zhimei bets on Mr. Fang, she must also add the piece of ancient jade she received last year. You like the fish-shaped pendant best."

Both Zheng Zihan and Zheng Yanzhi came from the third house of the North House, known as the Shuangjiao of Xingyang. The ancestor of the North House, Cui Zheng, who was over [-] years old, was the second-rank wife of the previous dynasty. He was the oldest and most senior member of the Zheng family in Xingyang. The tallest and most respected old man by the clan, everyone calls her the old ancestor.

The Cui Zheng family has contributed a lot to the Zheng family in Xingyang throughout their lives. When Zheng Yuanxuan and Zheng Shanguo entered the officialdom, they also received help from their ancestors' natal family.

The ancestor had two sons, one died young, and the other died in battle with King Qin, and finally became a lonely family. She has a set of jewelry that is said to have been handed down for several generations, all of which are made of top-quality rubies. Zheng Zihan was lucky enough to see Once, I was deeply attracted by it just by watching it once. I begged my ancestor several times but couldn't get it. As a result, before his death, the ancestor passed on the precious set of veneer to Zheng Yanzhi.

One set is too expensive, and Zheng Zihan didn't dare to ask for one, and he would be satisfied if he got one.

As for the fish-shaped pendant, Zheng Yuanxuan exchanged treasures with others. The jade is of high quality and fine workmanship, and he even asked an expert to congratulate him, so it is very precious.

After hesitating for a moment, Zheng Yanzhi quickly said, "I bet it's not Mr. Fang who won the bull head lamp."

I like that book case very much. If there is a chance, Zheng Yanzhi really wants to win it. Even if I lose, it doesn't matter. There are more than ten pieces of the set of veneering that my ancestors passed on to me. Maybe because it has been handed down for too long, one is missing. It's not a big deal to give one to my cousin.

Zheng Zihan was a little surprised and said: "Did you make a decision so quickly? Zhimei, don't you need to think about it for a while?"

The stakes were too high. I thought Zheng Yanzhi would have to think about it for a while, but I didn't expect Zheng Yanzhi to make a decision in just two breaths.

"No need, it's all a gamble anyway, and Sister Han is so generous with her moves, and it's not easy for my little sister."

In terms of value, the agarwood book case is more valuable than a single piece of jewelry. Zheng Zihan gave such a condition, in fact, Zheng Yanzhi took advantage of it, even if he lost, it could be regarded as helping his cousin to fulfill a wish.

"Okay, it's settled." Zheng Zihan was overjoyed, and immediately confirmed it.

There are only a few famous sons in Chang'an City, among which Fang Shilong is the most famous and the most popular. Zheng Zihan was afraid that Zheng Yanzhi would choose Fang Shilong, but she did not expect that she would directly choose another one.

It's exactly what I want.

It's not a loss, if you win, you can get what you like, even if you lose, it can be regarded as fat and water will not flow to outsiders, and it can also deepen the friendship between the two sisters.

Aye is getting old, Erjin's health is getting worse and worse recently, there is no one in the family who can take the lead, if Aye is not around, he will have to rely on his cousin for many things, and it is also the meaning of the family to get closer to Yanzhi.

"It's settled." Zheng Yanzhi said simply.

For the two sisters, winning or losing is acceptable.

The two sisters smiled at each other, and Zheng Zihan asked curiously: "Sister Zhi, why didn't you choose Mr. Fang, he was the one who was the most vocal at the scene."

A familiar figure appeared in Zheng Yanzhi's mind. For some reason, she felt that everything was changing with him.

Of course, you can't tell your cousin about this. Zheng Yanzhi said calmly: "From the perspective of fame, Mr. Fang is undoubtedly the most famous and the most popular, but from the perspective of calculation, the winning rate is not high. For example, If there are ten people who can enter the final level, all ten people will have a chance to win the lamp, that is to say, Mr. Fang only has a [-]% chance of winning and a [-]% chance of losing, so I will definitely choose the one with the highest chance."
