Chapter 124: How about a bet?

Bingwen returned to the study and looked at Bai Yunjian with a slightly dodging look, which was very different from the past.

He put down the teacup among the white clouds and said, "Say."

Bing Wen took two steps forward and said, "Miss Chu's way of thanking her is...and moves."

Bai Yunjian used his index finger to point out where Xiao Yi was.

Bingwen took a calm face, took two steps forward, suddenly smiled, opened his arms, imitated Chu Yueli's appearance, pounced on him, and shouted, "Let me throw you into your arms..."

Xiao Yi was hugged and his whole body became stiff.

The teacup between the white clouds tilted, and two drops of green tea were sprinkled, scalding his knees. He put down the teacup and said lightly: "Hold me?"

Bingwen immediately let go of Xiao Yi and replied: "I have hid, Xiao Yi... didn't hide."

Xiao Yi immediately said: "I don't know if I should hide or not."

Baiyun could not see his joy and anger, and ordered: "Go back home."

So Xiao Yi and Bing Wen immediately got busy, took Bai Yunjian into the carriage, and drove back to the royal palace.

Coincidentally, the way back to the royal mansion happened to overlap with the way back to the Chu Yueli to the Chu mansion.

A distance away, I saw Chu Yueli sitting on the back of a donkey, wiggling the whip and driving the donkey. The donkey not only took charge of pulling up a long cart, carrying ten baskets of copper plates, but also had to carry Chu Yueli. It was a little difficult to walk, but it kept moving forward.

Everyone was quite novel when they saw this scene.

Chu Yueli was contented and held the whip and said, "Donkey, please walk slowly. If you miss the inn, there will be no grass, and if you miss the market, there will be no female donkey. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry."

The donkey didn't know if he understood it, but he made a sound, which was very appropriate.

Chu Yueli smiled and said, "Okay, I bought you, it's quite a relief."

The donkey continued to move forward, and Chu Yueli yawned, looking a little drowsy.

Xiao Yi wore a straw hat and drove by the carriage.

When Chu Yueli saw Xiao Yi, she naturally knew who was sitting in the carriage, so she opened her voice and sang: "Brother, go forward slowly, go forward, don't turn back! The path behind her is winding and twists and turns, and you'll fall carefully..."

Her singing attracted the attention of many travelers and even sang along with her.

As the sun sets, the roars of men and the little girl's back gradually fading away became an unforgettable vivid picture. Many people are speculating about who the little girl with a rough singing style is? Does it come from the Qi Kingdom, which regards women as the most respect? I heard that I was going to fight with Qi Kingdom, but I don't know what it was like? Alas... When I think of a group of big men fighting to the death with women, I think it's really both erotic and slap in the face.

If they knew that the person sitting in the car was the Sixth Prince Baiyun, it would probably be written into a storybook and became a classic song.

Baiyunjian closed his eyes in the carriage, playing with the night pearl, allowing the soft beam of light to rotate between his fingers and wrap around. Chu Yueli's singing came into his ears, as if a few gravels were left behind, gently rubbing out a bit of uncomfortable irritability, but also left a real touch that was difficult to abandon, just like the impression left by the woman - rough and tenacious, like a whetstone.

Ye Mingzhu brushed his fingers that were burned by fire and stinged. He closed his fingers and covered the light of Ye Mingzhu, but there was still a glimmer of light coming out of his fingers, just like... the woman.

Chu Yueli looked at the carriage between Baiyun and smiled, feeling much more comfortable. She could endure humiliation, provided that she wanted to swallow this breath. However, others wanted to bully her, but she had to see if she was happy.

Chu Yueli rode the little donkey all the way to Bafang Yinzhuang, and took his hand and shouted: "Shopkeeper comes out!"

The shopkeeper was named, ran out happily, bowed and asked, "What's the matter, this lady?"

Chu Yueli said deliberately and roughly, "I won't look for you after dinner. Come on, Miss, I want to save money. Please count it carefully for me. There is a copper plate missing, and I want you to look good!"

The shopkeeper looked at the ten big baskets and was shocked! After a slight froze, he quickly lowered his eyes and said, "Please, girl."

Chu Yueli said: "You can find someone to move in, count and ask me for a reply."

The shopkeeper walked to the basket, lifted the hay and looked in, and suddenly felt his scalp tightening and said, "Miss, this... are all copper coins?"

Chu Yueli replied, "What, you don't know? Does the shopkeeper only recognize silver and not copper coins?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "I naturally recognize the copper plate. In this way, I will carry it in and check it carefully. I wonder if the lady knows it?"

Chu Yueli said: "I think it should be at least one thousand taels of silver."

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "I guess it's five hundred taels."

Chu Yueli smiled and said, "I made a bet with the shopkeeper. How much is the total value in these ten baskets? If I guess correctly, the shopkeeper will not deduct 10% of my expenses. If the shopkeeper guesses correctly, I will give 20% of the expenses. Do the shopkeeper dare?"

The shopkeeper looked at Chu Yueli again and replied, "The villain can't be such a big shot."

Chu Yueli said: "Let your family make the decision."

The shopkeeper said, "Miss, wait for a moment." He walked into the Yinzhuang with his robe, and then came out again after a while, and said to Chu Yueli, "My master said that, and then he bet on this game with the lady. I think the lady must know the reason to be willing to accept the loss."

Chu Yueli nodded and said, "Tell me, how much money is there in the ten boxes?"

The shopkeeper said confidently: "From the eyes of the villain for many years, there are indeed five hundred taels in those ten baskets. Even if there are differences, there will be no difference."

Chu Yueli lowered her head and concluded, and said with a smile: "I believe in the shopkeeper's eyesight, but I have to fight for luck today. I guess the things in those ten baskets are worth about 540 taels of silver, and the difference is not too much."

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Miss, take it seriously?"

Chu Yueli asked back: "Why don't you take it seriously?"

The shopkeeper replied: "Okay."

Chu Yueli jumped off the donkey's back, walked into Bafang Yinzhuang with her hands behind her back.

The shopkeeper ordered people to weigh the copper plates with a scale, but they easily calculated the quantity, which was 490 taels, floating up and down, and it would not exceed ten copper coins.

The shopkeeper looked at Chu Yueli, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Miss, come back."

Chu Yueli stretched out her feet and kicked over the last basket, and the copper plate was spilled all over the floor. A silver note was mixed in the middle of the copper plate.

The waiter picked up the silver note and handed it to the shopkeeper.

After seeing it, the shopkeeper turned dark and said, "Why are there any silver notes stuffed in this basket?"

Chu Yueli said, "What we bet is, how much is the total value of the ten baskets? But I didn't say that there is anything in the basket? If there is a night pearl in the basket, then we both guess it is unreliable." He paused slightly and smiled, "I think the owner of Bafang Yinzhuang should also know the reason to be willing to accept the loss, right?"

The shopkeeper looked at the figure behind the pearl curtain, slowly withdrew his gaze, and replied, "I am willing to accept the loss. Miss, please wait for a moment, the villain will give the silver bill now."
