Chapter 11: A Surprising Gamble
If Fang Cai is still worried about being exposed, he doesn't want to have an intersection with this obviously malicious son, so he wants to leave as soon as possible. But at this moment, his feet seemed to have taken root, and a monstrous anger surged in his heart, and the tiger girl was undoubtedly his reverse scale.
Brother Gongzi is the third brother of Jiang Mansion, his name is Jiang Ronghua, and he is a classmate with Lin Haoran. At this time, he looked him up and down, and asked a little suspiciously, "You won't ...... Did you really forget about the bet with Yuebai? ”
"What bet?" Lin Haoran sighed in his heart, and had a faint bad premonition, but he quickly searched his mind, but he didn't have any memory of this.
Jiang Ronghua's eyes were staring at him tightly, until he saw Lin Haoran's face showing anger, and then he smiled and said, "You make a bet with Yuebai to see who ranks higher in the college exam!" What are the bets...... You don't really forget it, do you? ”
"Speak quickly!" Lin Haoran stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar.
Jiang Ronghua stretched out his hand to signal his entourage not to act rashly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then said word by word: "If you lose, let your sister make a ring for Yuebai!" …… Now it seems that you don't even plan to participate in the imperial examination, it seems that you really don't care about your sister, hehe! ”
Airplanes!
Lin Haoran's head exploded, his whole body was weak, and the hand holding Jiang Ronghua's shirt couldn't help but loosen a little, but soon glared at him angrily and said, "Impossible, you're lying to me!" ”
"You're not going to be stimulated, so you're amnesia, aren't you?" Jiang Ronghua frowned slightly and looked at him carefully. In fact, from the beginning, he felt that this was not the nerd he was familiar with, as if he had suddenly changed someone, at least he would not have dared to pull him by the collar before, let alone have this kind of momentum and demeanor like a mad dog.
When Lin Haoran heard this, the anger in his heart seemed to be poured down by a bucket of water, and most of the doubts that had just sprung up dissipated. Because this man hit him in the underbelly, he really didn't know anything about what his former master had done.
Although he was very reluctant to believe it, reason was telling him. It's all true, it's just that he's forgotten about something so important.
Jiang Ronghua seemed to be sure of his judgment, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "Then I'll help you remember!" …… You didn't go to the exam, so you found Yuebai, and Yuebai promised to give you thirty taels of coils, but made a bet! If you win the Yuebai in the hospital test, you don't have to pay back thirty taels, and if you lose to Yuebai in the hospital test, then ...... Your sister will have to sell herself to Yuebai! ”
No, that's not true!
Although Lin Haoran repeatedly denied it, he had some pictures in his mind, as if there was really such a thing. In order to raise enough money for the exam, he did have the idea of selling the tiger girl.
No, what about the money!
Lin Haoran suddenly remembered the most critical thing, because when he woke up, there were no thirty taels at home, not even a copper plate was seen, so this matter was definitely made up, and he immediately pulled up his shirt and said angrily: "You lie, I didn't get thirty taels at all!" ”
"It's not that I didn't get it, it's that I got it but I got it...... It's gone! Jiang Rongguang pushed his hand away, and then said with a smile: "Now that you have raised enough money for the journey, then hurry up and get on the road!" It's not a few days before the county exam starts, and this time is not waiting for anyone! ”
After Jiang Ronghua finished speaking this time, he was about to leave with two entourages, and added at the end: "By the way, you may have forgotten about me!" My name is Jiang Ronghua! ”
Is this bet true or false?
Lin Haoran looked at Jiang Ronghua's departing figure, extremely uneasy and a little frightened. It's just that although he has repeatedly denied it, a faint voice tells him that all this is true.
The former owner of this body bet his sister in order to prepare for the imperial examination, and the content of the bet was the ranking of this college examination, that is, the ranking of the Xiucai examination.
It's just that he has already regarded the tiger girl as his own sister, how can he let him be a maid for others?
This is absolutely not allowed.
As the sun sets, a cold wind blows from the north, swaying the bamboo forest at the edge of the village like waves.
Lin Hao returned home in despair, the tiger girl had already returned home before him, and was sitting and waiting on the steps at the door, and when she looked up and saw him, her face was filled with an extremely excited smile.
Just seeing this innocent smiling face, his heart felt like he had been stabbed, and he felt a strong sense of guilt. Although the bet was not made by him, after all, he took this body, and naturally he had to bear the sins he committed accordingly.
The tiger girl didn't notice his strange appearance, took his hand and walked into the house as usual, and immediately chattered about the village again. It turned out that Shi Ta's mother had an argument with Aunt Big Eyes, and as a result, Aunt Big Eyes was beaten, which made Hu Niu very angry.
It's just that this girl's emotions come and go quickly, and as soon as this matter is finished, she looked up at him and asked proudly, "Brother, guess what I caught today?" ”
Lin Haoran followed the tiger girl into the house, smelled a smell of fish, and asked suspiciously, "Where did the fish come from?" ”
"Giggle...... I caught it!" Tiger Niu said proudly.
It's a simple dinner, a pot of fish soup, a plate of wild vegetables, and fragrant white rice.
During the meal, Hu Niu talked endlessly about the things in the village, and Lin Haoran failed to answer several times, but he prevaricated on the grounds of sleepiness.
After eating, it was already dark.
After a while, the thatched hut was lit up with an oil lamp, and there was a lamp floating on the pottery lamp, the light was the size of a peanut, and the light was relatively dim, but the house seemed to be covered with a layer of gold.
As life got better and he had some savings in his hands, Lin Haoran asked Ah Niu to help buy back the lamp and oil from the town, and became a good family in Changlin Village who could afford to use oil lamps.
The tiger girl sat at the table, her chin propped up with her hands, her big bright eyes staring at the oil lamp, and her face looked red. Sometimes happiness is as simple as that, she likes to look at the magical oil lamp, and she likes the magical flame that flickers like a fairy.
"Brother, do you have something on your mind?"
After getting into bed, Tiger Niu suddenly crawled next to him and whispered in his ear.
She would exhale a hot breath when she spoke, but the roots of his ears were extremely afraid of itching, and before he could finish speaking, he couldn't help but itch and laugh out loud.
"Tiger girl, how many times have I told you, when there is no one, you don't have to whisper to me!" Lin Haoran rubbed the roots of his ears and said with some complaints.
Hu Niu didn't mean to review, but looked at him seriously and asked, "Isn't it?" ”
Lin Haoran was about to confess, but Hu Niu didn't give him a chance to speak, she then sighed: "I actually guessed, you must be thinking about the imperial examination again, right?" ”
"Brother went to participate in the imperial examination, will you be very unhappy?" Lin Haoran's heart moved, and she followed her words to uncover this topic, which was a small temptation.
Hu Niu flipped her body and lay down, put her hands on the back of her head, cocked Erlang's legs, and seriously confided her thoughts: "I didn't like you to participate in the imperial examination before, at that time, our family had no money at all, and we couldn't afford to borrow money at all!" Although some people say that you are very good at reading, I actually don't believe it, you are always stupid, not good at all! And the eldest mother also said that this reading is useless! ”
"And now?" Lin Haoran asked.
Hu Niu turned her head to look at him, and continued seriously: "I don't object much now, I have a little savings at home, even if I borrow some more money, I can find a way to pay it back!" And I heard my aunt say that if you are a child, you can go to the county government to work, so you will be the same as your father! ”
"Little girl, his father is an errand servant, right?" Lin Haoran secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but asked with some confusion.
Hu Niu blinked, and then said with certainty: "It's the same, are they all on an errand in the county office?" ”
"It's different! It is better for a scholar to become a scribe than an errand servant! Lin Haoran corrected her mistake.
Hu Niu frowned, then believed his words, and said crisply: "That's it! I don't understand. But if you want to take the test, I will support you to go, I think you can get in! ”
"Why do you think I'm going to get in?" Lin Haoran was a little surprised, after all, he didn't have confidence himself.
"Hmm!" Hu Niu frowned and thought again, then turned her head to look at him and said, "Because you have become very powerful!" You used to be stupid, but ...... Hee-hee, I'm not stupid at all now, and I'm still very powerful, so I'm sure I'll be able to get in! ”
Lin Haoran covered her with a quilt and hit the railway while it was hot: "Then I'm really going to take the test, first take the test and come back, our family is a scholarly home, no one in the village will dare to bully us in the future, only we will bully others!" ”
"Huh? Why is that? Tiger Girl took her hand out of the back of her head and asked in surprise.
Lin Haoran said half-truthfully: "You want to! If I were a child, then I would be able to go to the county to study and see the master! If anyone is proud of me, I'll go and tell the eldest master, and the eldest master won't beat him up? ”
"Giggle...... Can you hit the fuck with a rock? Tiger Girl laughed deliciously, and then asked again.
"Yes!" Lin Haoran was not a stupid person, and immediately gave her a positive answer.
"Brother, then you go to the test! I'm back...... Giggles, let's let the big man beat her board! The tiger girl nudged him lightly, like a little fox who had stolen a hundred chickens.
It's night.
The tiger girl fell asleep deeply, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she was in a sweet dream.
Lin Haoran looked at the leaky roof and sighed softly, the imperial examination is undoubtedly a road with an uncertain future, but he has to move forward.
It would be good if that Jiang Yuebai could cancel the gambling contract, but if he refused, he could only go on hard. And a faint voice told him that Jiang Yuebai was not a good person.
I must not let my sister really go to Yahuan!
Lin Haoran slowly closed his eyes, made an extremely firm decision in his heart, and then fell asleep deeply.
