Chapter 164 Gambling Painting
When the old concubine of the Beijing Palace heard that Jia Cong was going to bet with everyone, she immediately became interested and asked with a smile: "What to bet on and how to bet? If you all explain it clearly, I can be the referee."
Jia Cong then laughed and said: "I bet with you to tell a joke. Let me tell you one thing. If the person who bets with me doesn't laugh, then I lose. You can do whatever you want, just go with my grandmother. If I
The joke I told made you laugh, that means I won, and you have to give me what I won."
After hearing this, the old lady said: "This bet is really new and interesting. I have never heard of it. Just bet. With me in charge, no one is allowed to cheat!"
After hearing this, everyone secretly thought: Look how powerful this kid can be at such a young age. Besides, the jokes he tells are really funny. I just try not to laugh. I may not lose, but I have a good chance of winning.
After thinking about it, everyone agreed. Besides, their families are all wealthy, so even if they lose something, they won't take it seriously at all.
Seeing Jia Cong's old plan, Jia's mother knew that he only dared to bet with others because he was confident. She had also experienced Jia Cong's jokes, and knew that she had a great chance of winning, so she was naturally very happy.
At that moment, everyone saw that the old dowager was happy, and they all joined in the fun, shouting that they wanted to bet with Jia Cong. At first, a noble lady was the wife of the first-class lord of the court. She smiled and said: "I'll come first, I'll come first, I'll come early."
I fell in love with a beautiful picture of Tang Bohu collected by the old lady in your mansion. Ever since I saw it, I have been thinking about it day and night, wishing I could look at her every day. I will bet you on this beautiful picture, if you lose
Yes, I will take the picture away."
She was talking to Jia Cong, but her eyes were looking at Jia Mu. The meaning was of course very clear: How old is Jia Cong?
My wife is reluctant to let go.
When Jia Mu saw her looking at her, she immediately smiled and said, "You can bet and see what I do. Are you afraid that I will rely on you?"
The countess then smiled and said: "Old man, this painting is of great value, are you willing to part with it?"
Jia Mu smiled slightly and said: "It's just a painting, what's the big deal. Besides, Madam loves it so much. Even if she loses, she is destined to it. From then on, Madam and it face each other day and night, and get along day and night, which is better than being locked in my black box."
It’s much stronger inside.”
Everyone laughed and said yes. The old concubine then said: "Tang Bohu's picture of the beauty is very lifelike, but unfortunately there are not many of them left in the world, and the value is probably tens of thousands of gold. Let's keep it a joke, don't make too much noise.
Already."
Hearing this, Jia Mu shook her head and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. In the eyes of those who like it, this picture of a beautiful woman is worth more than ten thousand dollars, but in the eyes of those who don't like it, it is worthless and nothing."
Seeing that Jia Mu had no objections, the old concubine nodded immediately and said: "Okay, since both of you have no objections, then I won't worry about it. Everyone is watching, and no one is allowed to cheat."
Mother Jia and the lord and lady both laughed and said, "You're not a scumbag."
Jia Cong heard on the side that the price of the first bet was worth ten thousand gold, and he felt a little nervous. What if this lady was a weirdo who couldn't laugh, that would be terrible.
While the two of them were talking, he kept glancing at the lady quietly, and saw that although she was not young, her charm was still there. She was smiling when she spoke, and she also had a small dimple on her lips. She didn't look like her at all.
It's a monster.
After the two of them finished speaking, Jia Cong asked with a smile: "Madam, you have fallen in love with my grandmother's beauty picture. What are you betting on? We have to explain it clearly first."
After hearing this, the Countess smiled slightly and said: "Why, are you still afraid that I won't be able to rely on you? I have a lot of calligraphy and paintings at home. One of them is my favorite, which is Zheng Banqiao's Bamboo. Do you think it's feasible?" "
When Jia Cong heard this, he exclaimed happily: "Okay, I heard from my grandmother on weekdays that she likes Zheng Banqiao's bamboo very much. I will win it back and give it to my grandmother to make her happy. It's nothing." It’s no use hurting me.”
Upon hearing this, the Countess laughed and scolded: "Bah, you kid, how did you know that I would lose? What if I win? I can tell you, I don't like to laugh the most on weekdays, and others would be afraid if I win. You can’t even see me smile once.”
After hearing this, Jia Cong shook his head and said, "Madam, please don't lie to me, I don't believe it."
The lady curled her lips and said, "Really, what did I lie to you for?"
Jia Cong shook his head even more vigorously: "If you don't believe it, I don't believe it, even if you beat me to death, you won't believe it."
The lady then asked strangely: "Why, why don't you believe me, why did I lie to you, a child?"
After hearing this, Jia Cong stared at the person carefully for a long time, but still shook his head and said to himself: "People say that it takes ten years to laugh. Madam, you must be at least in your twenties. If you are so serious all day long, why? Maybe he looks like he’s in his teens?”
Everyone laughed as soon as he said these words, secretly praising this kid for being so good at talking. The lord and lady's children are already in their twenties. She even has grandchildren, how can she be so young? Besides, even if she takes good care of herself, But he looks like he is in his thirties, how can he look like a teenager? This kid is so naughty!
Who among the women in the world doesn’t like to be told that she is young? When the lord and lady heard what Jia Cong said, although she knew that this boy was deliberately flattering her, she couldn’t help but smile widely and scolded: “You little brat, I’m better than you. Mom is still older, what about being a teenager? That’s nonsense.”
When Jia Cong heard this, he pretended to be surprised and said: "Impossible, how is this possible? My mother is much older than you. You and my sister look about the same age. Don't lie to me!"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw Jia Cong lying with his eyes wide open. The lord and lady smiled even more. She turned back to look at Jia's mother and said: "Old lady, your grandson is so good at talking, and his little mouth seems to be covered with honey. .”
Mother Jia glared at her and replied with a serious face: "No matter how old or young you are, call your grandmother first before talking."
As soon as her words came out, everyone burst into laughter. The old lady just happened to take a sip of tea in her mouth at this time, and when she suddenly heard what Jia Mu said, she couldn't help but burst out laughing. She laughed for a long time before saying: "You two, grandfather and grandson, how can your love make people laugh to death?"
At this time, there was a burst of laughter in the room. Whether it was the madam, the lady, or the young lady and the maid, everyone covered their mouths and laughed so hard that they could not stand upright. When the countess saw everyone laughing, she couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Okay Ah, old lady, you are also teasing me, I will definitely not laugh later, I will win over your authentic Tang Bohu look, let’s see how you still laugh.”
After hearing this, Jia Mu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be fine if you win. I'm just afraid that you'll cry if you lose."
