Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 733 Chapter 730 Two: Failed
Tong Xiucai frowned when he heard 20 taels of silver.

He played chess with Master Shao a few times before, and he only gambled a tael of silver for a game of chess.

You can get 20 taels of silver in this dish, which is really exciting.

It's just one plate, let's play it!
Lian Pinggang?
Three acres of land in Shaoyang Lake?
Tong Xiucai thought that Master Shao could even gamble with a jade pendant worth a thousand taels, and it was just three acres of wasteland, which was not worth mentioning.

Without even thinking about it, he agreed.

Tomorrow is the fifteenth day, Song Qiu didn't delay, and immediately gave Tong Xiucai ten taels of silver as a deposit, and the remaining half will be paid in the tea house tomorrow with the deed paper for the three mu of land. .

Having settled on this matter, Song Qiu and the three went back to the inn.

Huang Qi went out for a run yesterday, but couldn't find any suitable ones. Today, when Song Qiu and the others came out, Huang Qi also went out to look for them.

Now that Song Qiu and the others came back, Huang Qi also just came back, saying that he had found a suitable yard and paid a deposit, and asked Song Qiu to see if it was feasible.

Song Qiu thought that Master Shao liked to play chess and gamble, and it would not be a big problem for Tong Xiucai to win the three acres of land tomorrow, as long as the yard is optimistic, he should ask Huang Qi to rent the yard first, and have lunch later. The big guy left the inn and went directly to the yard to settle down.

The courtyard has a one-entry layout, but it is extraordinarily large, with a cross courtyard, which is more than enough to accommodate twenty people, with convenient water, and the rent is not expensive, only two taels of silver a month.

When they left home, they each brought the bedding they had used before, so they took it with them wherever they went, saving space and having to buy more.

At the moment, it is only necessary to scrub the bed, furniture, etc., and then spread the bedding.

Song Qiu also ordered Mo Changping and Huang Qi to take people to buy, such as grain, oil, vegetables, meat, bowls and chopsticks. Starting tonight, they will naturally make delicious food by themselves so that they don't have to go out to eat.

As soon as the ingredients were purchased, Song Qiu immediately arranged for Yue'er, Shanzi and Zhuzi, and the woman Zhang who bought it with Mo Changping and who knows how to cook. The food on the day is also a way to practice hands, so that Yue'er can teach the other three people Song Ji's special dishes.

Together with Mo Changping and Mrs. Zhang was a middle-aged man named Guo Wenxing, who could do abacus and read and write. Song Qiu also planned to arrange her to be the shopkeeper.

I just stayed in the courtyard today, and early the next morning, Song Qiu and Ah Ling took Mo Changping to Daqianmen Street together, and went to the teahouse to order a pot of tea to pass the time while waiting for Tong Xiucai's good news.

Tong Xiucai also came early in the morning, walked around the Zhenlong Chess Club for a few times, declined a few acquaintances who wanted to play chess with him, and waited for a long time before waiting for Master Shao to come.

Seeing Master Shao, Tong Xiucai immediately went up to greet him, "Oh, Master Shao, it's early this morning, let's talk about it?"

When Master Shao saw that it was Tong Xiucai, he was also full of smiles, "Mr. Tong Xiucai, I haven't played chess with you for a long time, but I still enjoy playing chess with you. Let's go upstairs and have a good time today!"

Master Shao doesn't like people to disturb the onlookers when he plays chess, so he ordered a private room in Zhenlong Chess Club.

The chess club also knows his rules, so every Friday, it will always reserve the private room he usually uses.

At that moment, Master Shao dragged Tong Xiucai into the private room and asked him to serve tea.

In the private room, the jasper chessboard on the small table on the Arhat's couch was placed, scrubbed to shine, and the two chess boxes were neatly placed at both ends, waiting for those who use it to come.

Master Shao liked to hold black pieces, so he naturally sat on the left hand side, and when Tong Xiucai sat opposite, Master Shao asked Tong Xiucai with a smile, "Is it the same as usual today? One tael of silver per game ?”

Tong Xiucai also brought the teacup, and continued: "Master Shao, let's decide the outcome in one game today, how about playing big?"

When Master Shao heard this, he got excited. He gambled big with Gong Yuanwai once, and it was for the blue and white porcelain vase in Gong Yuanwai's hand. Unfortunately, he lost a piece of jade pendant, but he didn't win.

He likes to play chess and gamble, and small bets are enjoyable, but there are not many times that can cause him to bet big.

He couldn't help being quite curious about Tong Xiucai's proposal.

"Oh? What does Mr. Tong Xiucai want to bet on? If you lose, how about enlightening my little grandson?" Tong Xiucai's knowledge is well known. Obviously, Master Shao never thinks that he loses because of his chess skills. Difference.

Tong Xiucai smiled and said, "Okay. If Master Shao loses, how about giving the land deed of the three acres of Shaoyang Lake in Lianpinggang to someone?"

"Lian Pinggang?" Mr. Shao heard it familiarly, and asked curiously, "Why do you want those three acres of land?"

Seeing Master Shao like this, Tong Xiucai was also surprised, why does this seem to be reluctant to part with the three acres of land?

It doesn't make sense, a jade pendant worth a thousand taels of silver doesn't even blink, how much is this three mu of land worth?
He said, "Is this a bet?"

Master Shao waved his hand, "If it's anything else, I have nothing to say, but the Shaoyang Lake land is not possible. The scholar wants to buy the land? How about this, I set aside three acres of land from my Lujia Village?"

Tong Xiucai: What does he want the land in Lujia Village for?
"Only the three mu of land in Shaoyang Lake, is it really not possible?" He said unwillingly.

Master Shao shook his head, "It's really not possible, I promised someone else the three acres of land."

As he spoke, he wondered, "Why is it so good? Mr. Xiucai insisted on having the three acres of land? The land in the wilderness can't grow food. What do you want to do?"

Tong Xiucai heard that the three acres of land would not be completed, and the only way for this business was to refund the deposit.

Master Shao is not an outsider, and if the matter fails, he has nothing to hide. He will immediately tell about the fact that someone hired him to win the three acres of land.

Master Shao was also amazed when he heard it. He was not angry because someone wanted to win his stuff, but was just curious: "Oh? I don't know who it is?"

Tong Xiucai shook her head: "I'm not from this town, I should have come from somewhere else, I don't know why I want this place, I'm still a little girl!"

"Little girl?" Master Shao raised his eyebrows, thought of something, and stood up, "Where is she?"

……

On the second floor of the teahouse, Song Qiu rested his chin while listening to the book, while feeding the melon seeds that Ah Ling peeled to his mouth.

Ah Ling couldn't sit still, she had nothing to do, so she simply peeled melon seeds for fun. Her hands were fast, her fingernails were hard, and she peeled one by one very quickly, and she could peel out a small plate in a while.

But she only peeled the melon seeds and didn't eat them. She felt that the melon seeds were full of mouth, and it was not as good as dried apricots. While peeling the melon seeds, she touched a piece of dried apricots and threw them into her mouth from time to time.

Bored, looking at the Zhenlong Chess Club opposite, "Why is it so long? The next game will take so long?"

Song Qiu doesn't know how to play Go, but he also knows that a game will never be fast, "You heard the book, it's quite interesting."

Ah Ling curled her lips, "I don't want to listen, I'm still interested in talking about the situation in the world."

Song Qiu shook his head and laughed.

He glanced at the chess club opposite, and just in time saw Tong Xiucai leaving the chess club with a middle-aged man and striding towards the teahouse.

Immediately, he collected his expression and raised his eyebrows.

What is this for?
