[Chapter 894 Chapter 905: Little expert in guessing lantern riddles (first update, please subscribe)]

“Yes, Master! I can’t give it to you!”

“If I give it to you, I will beat the Master to death when I get back!”

“This is all we have left. I have more than two thousand taels of silver, and I still have urgent needs at home. If I lose again, I don’t have to go home!”

“…”

Tsk, tut, is this human talk?

There are “only” more than two thousand taels left. We really wanted to have that much left, but we have no chance!

However, Jing Zhe still didn’t listen.

“What are you afraid of? I can guess such a simple lantern riddle with my eyes closed. And if I use these two thousand taels to earn his 10,000 taels of silver, won’t my father praise me when I get home?”

“… “

It’s so…silly and naive!

“Young master, you must not do this!”

Zhou Ziqiong also came over at this time.

As one of the organizers of the Poetry Club and one of the givers of prize money, no one knows the difficulty of these lantern riddles better than Zhou Ziqiong, because she created these lantern riddles!

When her father and Shopkeeper Hu decided on this matter, she didn’t agree because she was afraid of what happened to the man in cotton-padded clothes just now. However, her father didn’t listen and finally agreed.

Therefore, she could only make up the questions herself and chose many particularly difficult riddles. But the man in cotton-padded clothes just now was obviously cheating and chose a few simple guesses instead, thus giving Jing Zhe the illusion that “the riddles are very simple” .

But in fact, the remaining riddles are the most difficult!

Hearing this, Jing Zhe became interested and said carelessly: “Why did Miss Zhou say this?”

“Sir, that person just now was the one hired by Shopkeeper Hu. They just wanted to defraud our Zhou family! “

Having already broken their skin, Zhou Ziqiong no longer cares about Shopkeeper Hu’s face, pointing at him and saying coldly.

With a “swish” sound, everyone’s eyes in the hall focused on shopkeeper Hu, and then on Zhou Ziqiong.

They suddenly felt that the money was really worth it today, and they seemed to be able to watch a good show!

Jing Zhe was stunned for a moment after hearing Zhou Ziqiong’s words, and then said with a smile: “Miss Zhou, what do you mean by this? In order not to pay for the five thousand taels of silver, you lied to me?” “

…”

Zhou Ziqiong didn’t expect it. Yes, he seemed quite smart before, why did he act so stupid tonight?

But in order not to let him be fooled, Zhou Ziqiong still said patiently: “Sir, everything Zi Qiong said is true! The man who left just now was just a trap brought by Shopkeeper Hu. The lantern riddles he guessed were all the simplest. Yes, the rest is difficult. How could you guess it all? Isn’t it a pity that all the two thousand taels of silver were wasted in the end? “

“…”

Jing Zhe’s face gradually turned red, and then Dissatisfied: “Miss Zhou, are you looking down on me? Do you think that person could guess it just now but I can’t? This Shangyuan Poetry Club was jointly opened by your Zhoujia Cloth Workshop and Juxian Building, and now it suddenly jumped out Accusing Shopkeeper Hu, your play is a bit fake. Do you really think I’m stupid

because I’m from out of town? You’re afraid that if I guess all the lantern riddles correctly, you’ll have to give me five thousand taels of silver each. Me? Haha, but I see that Miss Zhou is indeed beautiful, so why not act like this? If I guess correctly, I won’t want Miss Zhou’s five thousand taels of silver. Then Miss Zhou will just stay with me for a day. Okay?”

“…”

At this time, Zhou Ziqiong’s face had turned from red to white, then to red, and she was extremely angry.

I thought he was an infatuated man, but he was no different from other men. He dared to tease me in front of his wife?

But…why didn’t his wife look jealous?

Zhou Ziqiong was very angry and even thought about walking away to see how he was deceived!

But he also thought that he had helped him before, or else he would help him this time, it would be a tie, and the two of them would have nothing to do with each other in the future!

After calming down, she said: “If you don’t believe me, sir, you can guess a few lantern riddles first. If you can guess it, it’s not too late to hand over the money! If you can’t guess it, then you can’t pay the two hundred and twenty million!”

“Yes, Mr. Zhou, just listen to Miss Zhou!”

“Sir, make two guesses and pay later!”

“…”

The group of people began to persuade again, but Jing Zhe felt how insulted he was and said dissatisfied. : “What, do you all think that my nickname as a little expert at guessing lantern riddles is for nothing? Then I still have to guess today!”

Then he looked at Shopkeeper Hu: “Shopkeeper Hu, I see you are honest and honest. Let me ask you, is what Miss Zhou said true? Is that person really the one you were looking for? “

“Yes, Miss Zhou is right.”

“…”

At this time, even Zhou Ziqiong was stunned.

How could Shopkeeper Hu agree so readily?

“Sir, that person is the one we are looking for – why don’t you just stop paying the two thousand taels of silver and end the lantern riddle party here? You can’t guess it anyway, and I don’t want to blackmail you anymore. “Two thousand taels of silver, okay?”

“Haha! What a dream!”

Jing Zhe sneered, “Aren’t you afraid that you’ve already guessed and now you’re chasing me away?” !”

With that said, Jing Zhe took out two silver notes from his arms and slapped them on the table in front of him: “Look, two thousand taels of silver notes! I have reserved all the lantern riddles in this building today!”

“…”

It’s really hard to persuade a ghost who wants to die!

Everyone shook their heads and sighed, Zhou Ziqiong also sighed in his heart, thinking that he had tried his best, but he just followed the devil and couldn’t persuade him!

The happiest person was Shopkeeper Hu. He thought to himself that this silly boy was really not provoked. He deliberately confused the truth with the lies and he was fooled!

The people in the box upstairs were also quite excited. Crown Prince Yu looked back and forth at Zhang Xiaoyu and Zhou Ziqiong, and then he did not forget to ask: “Did that waiter really leave just now?”

Master Qu said with a smile: ” Prince, don’t worry. How could Shopkeeper Hu really let him go? He went out through the front door and came in through the back door of Juxian Building! He was hiding behind it and listening. As long as that silly boy put in all the two thousand taels of silver, he would He will come in from the outside again and guess all the lantern riddles! At that time, Zhou Jiabu Fang will still have to give out five thousand taels of silver!”

Prince Yu smiled and nodded, “But, I The prince felt that with the Zhou family’s current desperate state, the five thousand taels of silver might cost them their lives, and they couldn’t get it out anyway!”

At

this time, Magistrate Liu sneered: “It’s in the lower body. As the parents of Ruzhou, I will naturally not allow this kind of back-tracking to happen. If the Zhou family can’t come up with the money, they will have to hand over the Zhou family’s cloth shop!”

“Hahaha!”

The three of them looked at each other !

At one glance, everyone laughed.
