Chapter 217 Jealous (one more)
Princess Rui also had many little sisters before she came out of the pavilion. However, after getting married, she became estranged from each other. She became a princess, and those people no longer regarded her as an ordinary little sister.
Gu girl is so nice.
will not treat her with extreme fear and life just because of her status as a prince and concubine.
She actually didn't understand how Gu Jiao did it. It seemed that she was always calm and calm, and there was nothing to make her react very much.
It’s comfortable to get along with such people.
Princess Rui sent the person back to the hospital and left after paying the consultation fee.
In the afternoon, the hospital received another visit. It was a patient who had been treated here. He had stitches, and it was time to remove the stitches.
Doctor Song was busy, and Gu Jiao asked for the address, got in the carriage of the medical clinic and went there.
The patient's waist and abdomen were cut by fragments from the explosion of the stove, and more than 20 stitches were sewn. The healing condition was good in the early stage, but one time he accidentally fell off the bed in the latrine and tore a part of the wound.
Healed well this time.
Gu Jiao removed the stitches for him.
”Are there any medicines to take or rub?” the patient asked.
Gu Jiao shook her head: ”No, that's good. The diet should be lighter.”
The patient thanked her excitedly: ”Thank you Miss Gu!”
This patient is a regular craftsman invited by the Ministry of Industry's yamen, a local from Beijing, and he can return to the Ministry of Industry's yamen after recovering from the injury.
Gu Jiao thought of the homeless Jiang Shi and Xiao Jiangli in the hospital.
But I didn’t think about it for too long.
Gu Jiao got into the carriage.
The little third son drove the carriage and suddenly said, ”Miss Gu, it’s so lively over there!”
Gu Jiao is a person with a cold personality in nature, but she also likes to be lively, which is really a very contradictory trait.
She opened the curtain and took a look. She seemed to understand why it was so lively: ”It's Qingfeng Tower.”
”Ah, is that the Qingfeng Building?” Although the little third son had heard of it many times, he had never been in, he was a little looking forward to it.
Qingfenglou is one of the most elegant restaurants in Beijing. It has everything to eat, drink and play, and it often opens some very novel gambling games.
”Go and see.” Gu Jiao said.
The little third son was overjoyed: ”Okay!”
The two went to Qingfeng Tower.
The reason why today is so lively is because of Xiao Liulang.
It turned out that Qingfeng Tower opened a new betting game. This time, instead of directly betting on who is the first and second, but on who is the big three yuan.
This is very exciting.
After being tied for the first place with King An, who still has a third candidate in his heart?
But there will always be two big three yuan.
Qingfenglou said, if there are two, they will pay twice.
Of course, it is absolutely impossible to have two. This is not a guess, but someone went to the palace to take a look, and the emperor would not allow two.
So the question is, who should bet?
”Of course it is the King of Anjun, do you still need to talk about it?” said a 30-year-old talent. Xiao Liulang came from a small county, and the difficulty is not the same as that of the imperial examination in Beijing, not to mention his performance is not stable. I heard that he didn't do well in the hospital examination, and he didn't even get the three yuan. That's it. Do you still dare to place his bet?”
It makes sense for everyone to hear it!
Although he is a pinch in terms of locality, what does it mean to come to the capital?
Don’t look at Chunwei and Jun Wang tied for first place, that’s just a fluke!
The cabinet ministers must be thinking that he can make good articles because of his cold background, and they have given a lot of sympathy points, otherwise? Can you compete with King An?
crazy!
In the end, most of the bets on King An Jun were made, and only a few adventurers gritted their teeth and bet on Xiao Liulang.
In order to attract more desperate gamblers, Qingfenglou did not hesitate to put the big three yuan list in the most conspicuous position in the lobby.
An Junwang’s name came first on the right, and Xiao Liulang was second.
Ke's bet is a world of difference.
An Junwang’s name was already covered with gold ingots, but Xiao Liulang’s name had only one lone silver ingot.
One gold ingot represents one thousand taels.
One silver ingot represents one hundred taels.
The last time Gu Jiao sold the emperor’s second-hand brushes, she sold eight thousand taels. Three thousand taels were used in the turnover hospital and the newly opened pharmaceutical factory, leaving five thousand taels left.
The silver ticket is not on her, but she has a pair of cards from the rich bank.
She walked into the lobby: ”I want to place a bet.”
On the other side, in the wing room of Qingfeng Building, King An is also betting.
He did not reveal his identity.
However, he was so expensive, and the shopkeeper didn't dare to neglect easily.
The shopkeeper asked politely: ”My son, are you betting on the three yuan list? You can bet on King An, he is sure to win.”
Anjun Wang was not interested in placing a bet. He tapped his finger on the table twice: ”I heard that you have a hairpin list here.”
”Ah... yes, yes, yes!” The shopkeeper was surprised, and he didn't expect that the other party would ask about the hairpin list.
Recently, because of Gu Jinyu's affairs, the hairpin list has also suffered a bit of involvement. Some people questioned that Qingfenglou did not even find out the details of the list, causing them to lose money.
Actually, the results did not come out at this moment, but everyone thought that Gu Jinyu was out of play, and those who had bet on her turned blue with regret.
Now Zhuang Yuexi is on the top of the hairpin list, far away from other competitors.
The shopkeeper thought he was also betting on Zhuang Yuexi.
An county king took out a thick stack of silver notes and put it on the table, and said lightly, ”All bet on Miss Gu.”
The shopkeeper is dumbfounded!
The Anjun king bet on Gu Jiao, turned around and went downstairs to see Gu Jiao holding a pair of cards and betting on the big three yuan: ”Five thousand taels, Xiao Liulang.”
The King An with an arrow in his heart: ”...”
Gu Jiao finished betting on her own mate, and seeing that there was also a bunch of golden ingots under her name, she left with satisfaction.
Just about to step on the carriage, a gentle voice with a breeze and bright moon came from behind: ”What a coincidence, Miss Gu.”
Gu Jiao turned around and saw that it was King An, and asked calmly, ”What's the matter?”
County King An thought of the bet she had just placed, and some had a toothache and some were dumbfounded: ”Miss Gu is so unconfident in me?”
Gu Jiao wondered: ”What did you say?”
”Place a bet.” King An Jun pointed to the three yuan list in the lobby.
”Oh.” Gu Jiao thought for a while and said, ”You have confidence in yourself and you can bet on yourself. My money has already been placed.”
Anjun Wang: ...I didn't mean that either.
Forget it, he himself did not understand what he meant.
”It's okay, I'll go now, goodbye.” Gu Jiao turned to get into the carriage.
”Wait.” King An said to stop her.
Gu Jiao turned her head and looked at him steadily.
