Chapter 122 Betting
Those poetry gatherings and drinking parties were just for eating and drinking in the name of a good name. Wei Yan felt that it was no longer interesting to join in the fun for such a period of time, so he agreed after hearing what Ye Ximing said.

When Cao Bingwen saw Wei Yan's agreement, he didn't say anything against it.

After saying this, Wei Yan said to Ye Ximing with some excitement: "Third brother, do you know? I heard that several gambling houses in Fucheng have set up betting on who will be the winner of the provincial examination."

After hearing what Wei Yan said, Zhou Ran asked with interest: "Oh, is there your third brother in it?"

Wei Yan nodded, "Of course, the third brother was the top one in the provincial examination that year, and he was Mr. Zou's student."

However, because Ye Ximing didn't go out much, his reputation was not as good as the other three. There were not as many people guarding Ye Ximing as the other three.

"Who are the other three people?" Zhou Ran asked.

"Two are students from Fu Xue, one is named Han Maoyan and the other is Fang Yichen." The fight at the previous banquet was because of these two people. Both of them are handsome and have extraordinary family backgrounds. Each has a gang in Fu Xue. admirer.

"There is another person named Yang Yanqing. He is a student of Linghe Academy. He is also quite talented in literature and his poems are very popular."

After listening to Wei Yan's words, Cao Bingwen glanced at Ye Ximing's face and said: "Brother Ye, you don't have to pay too much attention to the three of them. I have read the exam articles written by the three of them silently. From what I have seen, your article It's better than them."

Ye Ximing shook his head, "I don't care."

Cao Bingwen looked at Ye Ximing, wondering if he really didn't care, or if he just said he didn't care, but cared about it in his heart.

Wei Yan smiled and patted Cao Bingwen on the shoulder and said, "Brother Cao, please stop worrying so blindly. Is Third Brother the one who cares about this?"

If Ye Ximing really cared about this, he wouldn't be able to say this in front of Ye Ximing. His character is a little out of touch, but he is not stupid.

Cao Bingwen smiled sheepishly, "I thought too much."

Ye Ximing shook his head and said: "Brother Cao is also worried about me. I understand Brother Cao's good intentions."

After knowing that Ye Ximing was also the candidate to solve the problem, Zhou Ran chose to go out the next day, and of course Ye Ximing accompanied her.

They walked around the street for a while. After Zhou Ran saw a gambling house that occupied a large area, she pulled Ye Ximing inside.

Ye Ximing had already realized what Zhou Ran was going to do. He shook his head and followed Zhou Ran into the gambling house without stopping Zhou Ran.

In this era, it was rare for women to enter a gambling house. As soon as Zhou Ran entered the gambling house, she was greeted by many looking eyes.

Ye Ximing frowned and blocked Zhou Ran behind him.

Fortunately, the bet about the provincial examination was a popular bet right now. It was right at the front of the hall. They walked a little further inside and saw the list posted on the wall.

The names of Ye Ximing and four others were written on the list. After each name was written an introduction to them, followed by each person's odds and how many people were currently betting on this person.

Zhou Ran took a look and found that Ye Ximing currently had the highest odds among the four people, and also had the fewest bets.

Zhou Ran curled her lips, they were really a bunch of people without vision.

"Five thousand taels, pledged to Ye Ximing." Zhou Ran took out the banknote from the system and slapped it on the table proudly.

After Zhou Ran finished speaking, the eyes of many people in the casino suddenly changed when they looked at Zhou Ran.

Although there are many people who come to the gambling house to spend a lot of money, they are a little surprised that a woman like Zhou Ran, who is dressed in a low-key dress, spends so much money all at once. The steward of the gambling house was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing, and quickly smiled and said to the person in charge of registration: "Why don't you hurry up and record it for this lady?"

The person in charge of registration quickly lowered his head, wrote down Zhou Ran's name and money in the registration book, and gave Zhou Ran a voucher for their gambling house.

Zhou Ran took the voucher and was about to leave. The steward of the casino stopped her with a smile and asked her, "Madam, are you interested in playing something else? We have many exciting and fun projects in the casino."

Zhou Ran shook her head and refused, "Not interested."

The person in charge saw that Zhou Ran was really not interested, so he didn't stop them anymore.

Coming out of the gambling house, Zhou Ran smiled and asked Ye Ximing, "Was I very domineering just now?"

Ye Ximing smiled and nodded, "Yeah, very domineering. But you are not afraid of losing all the money you have staked on me?"

Zhou Ran shook her head nonchalantly, "It's okay, just make more after losing everything."

Zhou Ran actually didn't plan to bet so much, she was just going to bet one or two hundred taels for fun, but when she saw that everyone was so unfavorable to Ye Ximing, she became a little impulsive.

But even if she is impulsive, she still has some sense. She has also earned a lot of money in the past two years. Although five thousand taels of silver is a lot, for her, even if she loses unfortunately, it will not hurt her. Cause too much damage.

and……

Zhou Ran looked at Ye Ximing: "Will you let me lose?"

Ye Ximing smiled and squeezed Zhou Ran's hand, and said firmly: "No." He was sure of himself, otherwise he would have stopped Zhou Ran from placing a bet just now.

After Wei Yan and Cao Bingwen stayed at home for two days, Wei Yan became a little restless again and went out under the pretense of choosing gifts for his family.

The results of the provincial examination have not come out. Cao Bingwen cannot read books at home. When Wei Yan goes out, he follows him.

In the afternoon, Wei Yan and his servant came back carrying large and small packages of gifts, and even Cao Bingwen also carried a lot of things in his hands.

Of course, those things were not bought by Cao Bingwen, but by Wei Yan.

"Why did you buy so many things? Did you move the store back?" Zhou Ran asked Wei Yan.

Wei Yan pointed to the pile of things on the table with a smile and said: "These are bought for my mother, these are bought for my father, these are bought for my uncle, and these are all for my little sister. I bought it, but she couldn’t come to Fucheng with me because she was pregnant, so I wasn’t allowed to bring her back more gifts.”

After Zhou Ran heard this, she praised Wei Yan in various ways for a while, and she praised Wei Yan so much.

After being beautiful for a while, Wei Yan asked Zhou Ran as if he remembered something: "Third sister-in-law, when I was on the street today, I heard that a lady bet five thousand taels on the third brother's high school Jieyuan, that Could it be you, madam?"

Zhou Ran was surprised: "Has this matter spread outside?"

Wei Yan widened his eyes and said, "It's really you, Third Sister-in-law, you really have confidence in Third Brother."

Zhou Ran raised her eyebrows and looked at Wei Yan: "Don't you have confidence in your third brother?"

Wei Yan glanced at Ye Ximing who was sitting there drinking tea, shook his head and said: "How could it be? I also bet the third brother two hundred taels today."
