Gong Fei Ji

Chapter 289

They soon arrived at the Luo River, the emperor helped Nanyu get off the carriage, and then saw people racing dragon boats on the Luo River, and many people gathered around the Luo River, cheering and cheering.

Someone set up a gambling table next to it, surrounded by many people layer by layer, and a guy shouted there: "Which team to bet on, place your bet quickly, don't wait when it's over."

Nanyu looked at it and couldn't help but said: "Didn't you say that you can't entertain during the national mourning period? Why would anyone dare to play like this at the emperor's feet?"

The emperor didn't care and said: "It's not a big feast, why are you so strict." Anyway, it wasn't his own mother who died, so the country's filial piety doesn't need to be so strict.

The emperor looked at the people rowing on the Luohe River, and said, "It's a pity that we have to observe the funeral this year, otherwise it would be nice to hold a dragon boat race in Taiye Lake."

After speaking, he pulled Nanyu and walked inside. A middle-aged man with a big beard came over and pulled the emperor's sleeve and said, "Madam, please make a bet."

The emperor looked at the dragon boat on the river and asked, "How do you pay for it?"

The bearded man said: "One pays four, only the bet No.1 will get paid."

Nanyu was also very excited to see those cheering people up, standing on tiptoes and looking up at the river.

The emperor asked her, "Which team to bet on?"

Nan Yu turned around with a smile and said, "Of course I bet on the second team, you see they are at the front."

The emperor thought for a while, and said to Mr. Zhang: "Bet 50 taels of silver on the fourth team."

Nanyu pulled the "impulsive" emperor and said: "Hey, look clearly, the fourth team is at the bottom, and you have so much money that you have no place to spend it." After speaking, he said to the bearded man: "Bet on the second team." , bet on the second team."

But the bearded man gave the emperor his thumbs up, and praised him: "Young master is courageous, and the fourth team is the one with the fewest bets." After speaking, he yelled at the counting people behind him: "Make a note, this young master bets The fourth team is 50 taels of silver."

Nan Yu hurriedly grabbed the bearded man and said, "Hey, I think you want to bet on our money at all, I already told you to bet on the second team."

The bearded man looked at Nanyu and said with a smile: "Girl, look at the house where the woman is in charge. If your husband speaks, you just obey." After finishing speaking flatteringly, he spread his hands and smiled at the emperor, saying: " Young master, silver!"

The emperor winked at Eunuch Zhang. Eunuch Zhang took out five silver ingots and put them in his hands. The bearded man took them and said with a smile, "Master, madam, I wish you good luck."

Good luck, this person is obviously not optimistic about the fourth team.Nanyu walked over and wanted to grab the money back, but the bearded man hid the money behind him, looked at her defensively and said, "I'm sure I'll leave it, there's no reason to take it back."

Nanyu wanted to say something more, but the emperor pulled her back and said, "You listen to me, you will never lose this bet."

Nanyu didn't believe that No.2 could surpass No.1, and she had never seen the last one become No.1.She was about to complain, but Eunuch Zhang suddenly pointed to the river and said, "Look, madam, the fourth team has surpassed the third team."

Nanyu gave a "ah" and looked at the river surface in disbelief, and then found that the fourth team had really surpassed the third team and was continuing to catch up with the first team.

Nan Yu became excited and cheered along with the crowd: "Fourth team, overtake, overtake..."

The bearded man looked more and more mournful, so he licked his face and asked Nan Yu with a smile: "Madam, do you want to buy the second team? You can change it now."

Nan Yu poohed him and said, "If you buy it and leave it, there's no reason to take it back."

The bearded man wiped his face with his sleeve, not daring to speak again.
