Chapter 198 Experience
The dragon boat ended a bit anticlimactic.

Except for some gamblers, no one pays attention to who is No.2, let alone the ranking behind.

On the contrary, Yu Tao and his party were sent off because of a foul and became the only team that did not finish the race. On the contrary, Xungui and the common people firmly remembered his name.

After a while, all the teams went ashore.

Although King Qin and the others had smiles on their faces, they were very embarrassed.

Even the people who went up to greet them from various mansions didn't know what to say for a while.

In front of the Zhen Guo Gong's team, it seemed that their hard work in the past six months was a joke.

Staring at his sons being severely suppressed by the Duke of Zhen's government, Emperor Changxing was also somewhat dispirited.But as an emperor, he still had enough to show.

He said a word of praise and encouragement, then handed out the rewards for each ranking with a smile on his face, and then drove back to the palace.

After the emperor left, the audience also dispersed in an orderly manner, and Ren Ning and others boarded the cruise ship of the Zhen Guogong Mansion again.

Because of the good ranking, everyone looked at me and looked at you, no matter men, women or children, they all smiled.

Huo Qing carefully took out the prize of this dragon boat race, a rare Jade Ruyi.

As you wish, follow my heart.

What's more, this is a jade ruyi bestowed by the emperor, which will definitely become a precious family heirloom in the future.

He chuckled.

"The Dragon Boat Festival won a good ranking this time, all thanks to the brothers. I thank you all here."

"It's just that this jade ruyi is a gift from the emperor and cannot be sold or transferred. I have to share some yellow and white things with everyone after I go back. I hope brothers don't dislike it."

"How come?" Everyone shook their heads haha.

Many of them came for the government of Zhen Guo and Princess Yiguang, and they were satisfied to meet their idol at a glance.

What's more, these days, they have also made a group of like-minded partners.

It's easier to travel when you have more friends.

It is the same no matter what era it is.

As for money or rewards, it doesn't matter if you have it or not.

After the men chatted, Princess Yiguang's female officer came over.

"Elder Son, General Ren, and Second Young Master Xiao," she pointed to the main living room on the ship, "His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess wants you to go there."

The three had no choice but to plead guilty, turned around and entered the cabin.

It was very quiet in the cabin.The Huo family's daughter-in-law and the girls were not there, but Yingpan sat beside Princess Yiguang with a smile on her face.

The three of them greeted each other in unison, and turned to look at Yingpan.

"Sanggong, it's like this." Yingpan talked about Jixiang betting [-] silver.

"1 taels!" Xiao Gang's eyes widened a little, and finally he tapped his thumbs sincerely, "Sister-in-law just doesn't make a move, it's really generous!"

After all, before his Zuixian Tower lost 1 taels, he had already become a joke in the imperial capital.

"What's the point?" Ren Ning brought back a lot of valuable things from the south, and he also knew that Yingpan was not the kind of person who spends money lavishly, so he didn't take it seriously at all.

"Is it a loss?" Ren Ning comforted: "As the saying goes, a small gamble is happy and a big gamble hurts the body. This time, let's spend money to buy a lesson."

Princess Yiguang and Yingpan had strange expressions on their faces.

cough.

"What's the loss?" Princess Yiguang smiled and patted Yingpan's arm: "Boy Ren, Panpan is a lucky person. Not only didn't she lose money this time, but she made a lot of money. A total of 25 taels silver."

How many?

The three of Ren Ning couldn't help but gasped.

"Your Highness, you are joking again." Ying Pan blushed, and quickly added, "The silver actually belongs to Concubine Qing, but by accident, Ji Xiang took it to bet."

"What do you mean by accident?" Princess Yiguang shook her head, "Qing'er is not short of that little silver. Since she gave you the silver, it is yours. Whether you win or lose after betting, it is yours. Give it back to her."

what's the situation?
All three were confused.

Yingpan had no choice but to explain the whole thing in detail from the beginning, so that only Ren Ning could understand what happened.

He reacted quickly, and immediately frowned: "Which family runs the casino?"

25 silver is definitely a huge sum of money, and it is entirely possible for any gambling house to kill people for it.

"Rich Casino," Princess Yiguang glanced at Xiao Gang, and said a familiar name: "The owner is the Marquis of Yongchang."

"So it's them," Xiao Gang slapped his thigh in frustration, "Sister-in-law, you should place more bets."

It is best to win all the property of the Yongchang Hou Mansion.

Everyone laughed, not surprised.

"Everyone, don't look at me like that." Xiao Gang picked up an apple from the table and gnawed it, "That's my elder brother's grandparent's house, not my Xiao Gang's grandparent's house."

"Besides, since they dare to open a casino, they are willing to gamble and admit defeat. It's just 25 taels of silver, and they can still get it for such a big Houfu."

It's just that it will inevitably hurt more or less.

"How about this." Ren Ning thought for a while, "Your Highness, since Imperial Concubine Qing doesn't want the money, we'll spend it on her behalf. Anyway, it fell from the sky. It doesn't cost nothing."

"How to spend it?" Yingpan didn't care but was a little curious.

That's not a small amount of money.

"Donate to buy grain, grass and medicinal materials, and then send them to the west." Ren Ning glanced at Princess Yiguang and Huo Qing's ancestors and grandchildren, "It would be the best if they can be sent to Yanzhen Fortress."

Several people pondered for a moment, then nodded silently, "This way!"

They are not afraid of the Yongchang Hou Mansion.

But Yingpan still needs to live in Xingji City most of the time, and he has already messed with Cheng Enbo Mansion before, so it would be unwise to add another Yongchang Hou Mansion this time.

And the west is now the place that Emperor Changxing is most concerned about.

It's just that the treasury is empty, and the Ministry of Household Affairs is inevitably embarrassed.Now that someone is willing to donate the money earned from gambling to buy food, grass and medicinal materials, it is too late for Emperor Changxing to be happy.

At that time, the Marquis of Liang Yongchang did not dare to talk too much, and even had to take out silver to pay the bet as soon as possible.Otherwise, for such a large amount of money, it is entirely possible that the gambling house will not pay it all the time.

Huo Qing thought for a while, "Grandmother, why don't we take some money out and make up 30 taels of silver together?"

It is not easy for Zhen Guogong, a top mansion in the empire, to do something good on weekdays.

One year, Xingji City was snowed heavily and it was cold in the winter, and the wife of the Shizi went to the gate of the city to give porridge because of her kindness.As a result, he was impeached by the censor the next day, saying that the government of the town government was buying people's hearts...

What's more, he used his own money to support a remote frontier fortress.

What is the government of the town government trying to do?
"Okay." Princess Yiguang agreed, "After you go back, you can discuss it."

As for those censors who like to impeach everything, just pretend that they don't exist.If Princess Yiguang is really upset, her crested staff is not a vegetarian either.

Imperial study room

Emperor Changxing rolled the paperweight expressionlessly, "Changlu, what kind of people do you think Huo Qing and the others are?"

The old eunuch's heart skipped a beat, but his smile remained unchanged, "Your Majesty, isn't this old slave always by your side? I don't know Mr. Huo very well."

Emperor Changxing didn't seem to hear it, and continued: "The team they formed in a hurry actually overwhelmed a few emperors who couldn't raise their heads."

whee.

Chang Lu breathed a sigh of relief, "It turns out that His Majesty said it was a dragon boat race at noon. It's not surprising."

"What do you mean?" Emperor Changxing glared at his old servant angrily.

"Your Majesty, dragon boat racing is a physical activity." The old eunuch smiled: "And you know that most of Huo Shizi and his team are border guards, and they have just come off the battlefield. A strong general of ten."

"For battle on the battlefield, great strength is an advantage. Of course, they are much stronger than the princes and princes who have lived in the prosperous imperial capital for a long time."

Emperor Changxing's face looked better.

The next day, a piece of news came out from the morning court.

The adult princes and princes are going to the border defense for training.

　I wrote this dragon boat race just for the last sentence of this chapter.

　　Let the prince and prince go to the border to practice.

　　I am also really good at water.
