Chapter 1366: Today is the harvest season
Zhu Ping'an came out of Lord Zhentai's room with satisfaction, and saw Chu Xiong, Zhang Chufeng, and Zhuo Yan in the corridor outside the door from a distance. From their concerned eyes, Zhu Ping'an understood that these three goods were gambling with themselves again.
This has lasted for more than half a month, and I should not collect some commissions as a party.
So, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, Zhu Ping'an walked straight to them and said hello to them.
"Ahem, little brother Zhu......"
"Lord Zhu......"
After all, they took Zhu Ping'an as a gambling object, and they couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when they saw the party coming over.
"Hehe, congratulations to you Brother Chu, you won." Zhu Ping'an took out the official document of the imperial court from his arms.
"Really?! The food has come down?! Chu Xiong couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and the next second he caught a glimpse of Zhu Ping'an's meaningful smile, Chu Xiong couldn't help but be embarrassed, and rubbed his hands together and rubbed them, "Huh?!" Ahem, little brother Zhu, do you know all about our gambling with your military rations? ”
"Well, I've known since your first day." Zhu Ping'an smiled and nodded.
As a result, Chu Xiong's face turned even redder. Zhang Chufeng and Zhuo Yan were also a little embarrassed.
"Hehe, Brother Chu, Master Zhang, Master Zhuo, what's so embarrassing about this, it's a small bet."
Zhu Ping'an smiled disapprerovingly.
"Hahaha, it's still Brother Zhu who is sensible. Come, let's see, well, sure enough, the imperial court has approved our yamen's application for military rations and salaries three days ago, and with this official document, we can go to the Yingtian Soldiers Department to pay 5,000 taels of food and salaries. When Chu Xiong heard Zhu Ping'an's words, he let go of the embarrassment in his heart, and the whole person couldn't help laughing, took the official document handed over by Zhu Ping'an, unfolded it and read it, and then read it to Zhang Chufeng and Zhuo Yan like a defeated big fat goose.
"Approved so quickly?!" Zhang Chufeng and Zhuo Yan were incredulous and stretched their necks.
"Hehe, can the white paper, black and red chapter still lie to you?! See for yourselves, if it's written! Chu Xiong raised his head and smiled, handed the official document approved by the imperial court to Zhang Chufeng and Zhuo Yan, and let them watch it.
Zhang Chufeng took the official document, read it again, confirmed it again, and had to accept the fact that the grain and salary had been approved.
Zhuo Yan also read the official document and confirmed this fact, with a painful expression on his face.
"Haha, let's read it, after reading it, return the official document to Little Brother Zhu. Little Brother Zhu still has to pay food and salary by official documents. Chu Xiong smiled and took the official document back and returned it to Zhu Ping'an.
"Hahahaha, willing to gamble and lose, take the silver. You two have won me so many times, and this time it's finally my turn to open the shop. Chu Xiong smiled and stretched out his hands to Zhang Chufeng and Zhuo Yan, and teased, "When I lost, I was happy to pay the money, you won't repay the debt, right?!" ”
"What's the debt?! Chu fatty, what are you talking nonsense! Isn't it just a hundred taels of silver! Who will pay the bills! ”
Zhang Chufeng gritted his teeth and took out a silver ticket with a denomination of one hundred taels with body temperature from his arms, and reluctantly threw it to Chu Xiong.
"My little darling!" Chu Xiong, with agility that did not match his size, caught the silver ticket thrown by Zhang Chufeng, and kissed the silver ticket hard, with a fat face and a smile like a sunflower.
Although Zhuo Yan's face was paralyzed, he was just a person who was willing to gamble and lose, but he was reluctant but took out a hundred taels of silver ticket and handed it to Chu Xiong, "Here, I haven't warmed up yet." ”
"Haha, Brother Zhuo is just happier than some people." Chu Xiong took the silver ticket, and the corners of his mouth grinned at the back of his head, "You didn't warm up the silver ticket, and you don't have to regret it, brother, I'll help you warm up." ”
Chu Xiong looked at the two silver tickets with a denomination of one hundred taels in his hand, a fat face and a smile like a flower, not to mention how happy he was.
Just as he was self-absorbed, a hand reached over, grabbed a silver ticket with unmistakable accuracy, and then took it away with a whoosh.
Who dares to rob me of my money?!
Chu Xiong was in a hurry, and when he looked up, he saw Zhu Ping'an, who was holding the silver ticket and smiling with a sunny face.
"Brother Chu, as your gambling object, I am equivalent to a dealer, and I helped you win the gambling game today, so it's not too much to divide half of it when you meet." Zhu Ping'an looked at Chu Xiong with a smile, shook the silver ticket in his hand, and said slowly.
"Ahem, ahem, not too much, not too much." Chu Xiong said with a painful face.
"Hehe, Brother Chu generously donated money to fund the Yamen soldiers to prepare food and salaries, but the younger brother was disrespectful."
Zhu Ping'an put away the silver ticket with a smile in Chu Xiong's painful gaze, and hugged his fists to thank him.
Zhu Ping'an robbed Chu Xiong, and there was no burden in his heart, first, Chu Xiong was rich, and this money was the silver he earned, without a little labor bonus; Second, as Zhu Ping'an said, as the object of Ya's gambling, he sent a letter to Xu Shi to help him win the gambling game, and this one hundred taels of silver is his due share.
"Yes, yes, yes, to fund the military and food salaries, I am responding to the call of the Lord of Zhentai and helping Zihou." When Chu Xiong heard this, he nodded again and again, I like this statement, and then turned his head to look at Zhang Chufeng and Zhuo Yan, and said with a smile, "Lord Zhutai called on us to help Little Brother Zhu last time at the table, but I carried out Lord Zhentai's will to the end, and funded Little Brother Zhu with a hundred taels of silver for military rations, hehe, didn't Brother Zhang and Brother Zhuo express it?!" ”
"Dead fatty, all my private money was won away by you, I want to say, you borrowed me?!" Zhang Chufeng had just lost a huge sum of one hundred taels of silver, and he was in a bad mood, when he heard that Chu Xiong was going to ask him to sponsor the silver again, his face suddenly darkened, and he gritted his teeth and roared at Chu Xiong.
"Yes, as long as you make an IOU, I will lend you as much as you want." Chu Xiong said with a smile.
Zhang Chufeng ignored him.
"Your hundred taels of silver are my contributions." Zhuo Yan said lightly with a paralyzed face.
"Brother Zhuo, what you lost to me is mine, that's what I contributed." Chu Xiong corrected.
"Hmph, dead fatty, the wool is not out of me and Lord Zhuo." Zhang Chufeng snorted, gritted his teeth and said, "You are generous to me and Lord Zhuo, not only that, but you also earn a hundred taels yourself." ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Chufeng's eyes suddenly lit up, and his inspiration flashed, and then he looked at Chu Xiong with a smile.
"Why do you look at me like that?" Chu Xiong's goosebumps rose when Zhang Chufeng saw it.
"Hehe, dead fat man, if you really respond to Lord Zhentai's call, you will also sponsor Zhu Zihou with another hundred taels of silver tickets. Anyway, you got it for nothing. Zhang Chufeng smiled and tried his best to encourage.
"Good!" Zhuo Yan's face was paralyzed, and he nodded in agreement, his eyes looking at Chu Xiong.
"I'm ......" Chu Xiong clenched the silver ticket in his hand and subconsciously took a step back.
"Oops, that's embarrassing." Although Zhu Ping'an said this, he stared at the other hundred taels of silver ticket in Chu Xiong's hand without blinking, like a hungry wolf aiming at his prey.
For a while, three people and six eyes were like spotlights, staring at Chu Xiong without blinking.
"I ...... That's exactly what I mean. ”
God knows how Chu Xiong said this, and God knows how much blood there was in his heart when he said this.
"Today is the harvest season...... Zhu Ping'an returned with a full load, and on the way home, he couldn't help humming a little song.
