My Sisters Excel in Both Literary and Martial Arts - Chapter 919

[Chapter 893 Chapter 904: Asking for help (Second update, please subscribe)]

No one guessed just now, but now the two of them started competing to guess, which made people sigh.

“You are… Chi Guoguo’s cheating!”

The man in cotton-padded clothes who was pulled away pointed at the two of them and said angrily: “Don’t think that I don’t know what you are doing? You two just went to the back to talk, I’m afraid it was already discussed. , you give him money, and then he tells you all the answers to the lantern riddles, and then we split the money equally, right?”

“Don’t talk nonsense!”

The bald waiter glared at him: “It’s between me and this young man. But innocent, when has there ever been such a dirty thing as you said?

“

Bah, innocent! Just let me guess too! I’m afraid you won’t get any money if I guess too much!”

Then he went to point out Jing Zhe: “I wonder if this person is the one you hired from Juxian Tower and Zhoujia Clothing Factory. You sent him out just before I had to answer all the questions. How shameless!”

With that, he turned to Jing Zhe. Zhe spat.

“…”

Damn it…

Isn’t this guy’s acting skills too strong?

Asking for help?

If he hadn’t known that he was the trustee, Jing Zhe himself would have been confused. Zhou Ziqiong was also stunned: The man in cotton-padded clothes who spoke was obviously the trustee, how could he act so like him?

“What are you arguing about there?”

At this time, shopkeeper Hu walked down from upstairs.

When the man in cotton-padded clothes saw this, he immediately became energetic: “Shopkeeper Hu came down just in time! Look at your waiter, who is colluding with others and won’t let others guess lantern riddles. Shopkeeper Hu will do justice!”

“Oh? Really? What’s the matter? What’s going on?”

As he spoke, Shopkeeper Hu turned to look at the bald waiter.

The bald waiter looked panicked: “Shopkeeper, don’t listen to this man’s nonsense. This young master promised to guess all these lantern riddles, so I didn’t let anyone else guess it!”

“Yes, yes, I have them all. Guessed! Not bad!”

Jing Zhe said proudly, patting his chest.

“Oh? Where’s the money?”

“I’ll pay it right now!”

Jing Zhe took out a two hundred taels of silver note.

“Young master, you can’t…”

Chen Jiannan and others behind him immediately tried to dissuade him, but Jing Zhe ignored him and said, “Don’t hinder this young master from making money!”

“…”

So, the bald waiter took the banknote and Jing Zhe took it. Zhe glanced at the man in cotton-padded clothes proudly, “How about it? Now that I have paid all the money, all these lantern riddles will be mine!”

The man in cotton-padded clothes said angrily: “This… this is not fair!”

“This young man… The money has been paid, so why is it unfair?”

Shopkeeper Hu said.

“I can also pay!”

“Then there has to be a first-come, first-served basis, right?”

“I -“

The man in cotton-padded clothes looked at Shopkeeper Hu, then at Jing Zhe, and then looked like he suddenly understood, and sneered: “Okay, I understand. You’re all in the same group, he’s the one you invited! You’re afraid that if I guess correctly, you won’t be able to pay for it, so why don’t you let me guess?”

“You can eat whatever you want, but you can’t talk nonsense. Ah!”

Shopkeeper Hu said sternly: “Since you think he is a bastard, let’s stop guessing the lantern riddles today. Are you satisfied?”

“Not satisfied!”

Jing Zhe and the man in cotton clothes said at the same time. .

“Oh? It seems that both of you are determined to win this lantern riddle. Then you all guessed it correctly. Didn’t our Juxian Building and Zhoujiabu Fang suffer heavy losses?”

“Haha, since you dare to stipulate this, you should guess This is the possibility!”

“Yes, I’m willing to admit defeat!”

After saying this, Jing Zhe and the man in cotton clothes looked at each other, and at this moment they seemed to think that the other party was not a trustworthy person.

Then the man in cotton-padded clothes suggested: “Master, I was a little reckless just now. What I said is wrong. You must not be asking for help! How about we each guess half?”

“Well, that’s fine, that’s five thousand taels of silver. …”

“…”

Jing Zhe, still immersed in the joy of making money, agreed.

However, shopkeeper Hu did not agree.

“You obviously came prepared. Then wouldn’t I and Zhou Jia Bufang have to pay five thousand taels of silver each? No!”

“You are – fraud!”

said the man in cotton-padded clothes dissatisfied.

“Haha, you won’t make me lose money, right? Of course, you can guess, but -“

“Just what?”

Jing Zhe and the man in cotton clothes asked curiously.

“It’s just that you need to pay two thousand taels of silver! As long as you pay two thousand taels, you can guess whatever you want! I don’t care whether you colluded with him or not! But we have agreed in advance that there must be no less than twenty in a quarter of an hour. Lantern riddles, otherwise it will take too long, how long will it take to guess the 200 lantern riddles? Will the Shangyuan Poetry Conference be held?”

“Hiss!”

“Two thousand taels…”

Everyone present gasped. What kind of person can afford two thousand taels of silver? I’m afraid there aren’t many of them in the entire Ruzhou City. Shopkeeper Hu is obviously trying to drive people away!

As expected, the man in cotton-padded clothes stopped after hearing this: “You are just blackmailing me! Where can I get two thousand taels of silver?”

Shopkeeper Hu chuckled and said: “This is a matter of your own free will. How can you say it is?”

What about blackmail? If you want to guess, just pay. If you don’t have money, don’t

guess

. How simple is that?”

The two hundred taels of silver in the four lantern riddles were cursed and walked away.

“Two people guess, and each person guesses a hundred lantern riddles, and the last person can get five thousand taels of silver. Now one person guesses two hundred lantern riddles, pays two thousand taels of silver, and gets ten thousand taels of silver after guessing correctly. A net profit of one entry and one exit. Eight thousand taels of silver, a sure profit!”

“…”

Jing Zhe muttered to himself. The key was that his muttering voice was not quiet, and the surrounding area became a little quiet because of the man in cotton clothes leaving, so he His words were instantly heard by everyone.

What kind of…magical logic is this?

Everyone looked at Jing Zhe as if he were a fool.

But everyone was very curious, why did he say it was so easy for him to spend two thousand taels of silver? Come to think of it, I really have it!

I couldn’t help but feel miserable in my heart: Why am I not stupid but have no money, and this person is so stupid but has so much? Really stupid people have too much money…

Jing Zhe spent a long time “calculating” there. When he raised his head again, his face was bright and he said excitedly: “Okay, then two thousand taels. No one can guess these lantern riddles. They are all Mine, hahaha…”

Listening to his “silly smile”, everyone was speechless.

“No, sir!”

At this time, Zhang Xiaoyu also stopped him.

“Two thousand taels of silver, this is not a small amount. Besides, this secret lamp is not easy to guess. If you fail to guess it correctly, you will lose more than 2,200 taels of silver inside and outside!”

Zhang Xiaoyu looked worried. There were still tears in her eyes, and her embarrassed look made people pity her.

Everyone couldn’t help but feel pity after seeing this, why did such a beautiful girl find such a stupid man?

Apart from money and appearance, we don’t lack anything compared to him!
