Chapter 107 Two Bets
An Chuxia and the others returned to the small courtyard they rented. An Jinchen had already rewarded several waves of good news, and knew that her sister had been admitted to Huiyuan.

Shi Yu and Run Sheng were already busy in the kitchen, preparing the whole family to celebrate her winning the prize.

An Jinchen was even more happy busying around in the yard. In fact, he didn't know what he was busy with. He just felt full of energy and couldn't stop being excited.

An Chuxia also saw a smile on An Jinchen's face, as long as he was happy, it would not be a waste of studying for so long.

Turning her head and seeing Gu Fangmiao with a somewhat disappointed expression, she understood that she must be missing Teacher and the others.

Reassured: "Miaomiao, since you have decided to stay in the capital and open a girls' academy.

Why don't you write a letter to let the teacher and teacher's wife also come to Beijing!Do you like it? ! "

When Gu Fangmiao heard An Chuxia's suggestion, her eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, of course!"

When she was happy, she wanted to go to the study to write a letter to her grandparents, but was stopped by An Chuxia.

"It's not at this time either. Let's entertain the brothers and the others first, and write later in the evening."

As soon as everyone walked into the hall and sat down, Jiang Zhirou ran in.

"Chu Xia, I've won, I've won!"

I ran to An Chuxia and gave her a big hug, and said gratefully: "Originally, my parents and I didn't have any hope of being admitted to Jinshi.

I didn't expect to meet you on the way to Beijing.

Although after studying with you, I was often locked up in the room for exams, and was often punished for solving problems and writing policy theories.

but……"

"Hey!" Jiang Zhirou covered her forehead and looked at her mother pitifully.

"Mother, why are you hitting my forehead?!"

Mrs. Jiang glared at her, looked at her daughter with disdain and said, "You are here to thank An Huiyuan, or to condemn her!"

Mrs. Jiang ignored her daughter's sad eyes, folded her hands on her waist, and saluted An Chuxia sincerely, "This time Zhirou was able to pass the exam, thanks to An Huiyuan~"

Mr. Jiang who followed in also walked to his wife, bowed his hands to An Chuxia, and said, "My husband and wife thank you here!
If An Huiyuan has anything to do in the future, just say it, and Jiang will do his best to help. "

Mr. Jiang said that he thanked An Chuxia for helping his daughter to be admitted to Jinshi, and also wanted to make friends with An Chuxia, a new recruit.

An Chuxia turned sideways to avoid it, "Master Jiang and Madam don't need to be too polite, it's all because of Zhirou's determination to work hard, and I just entrusted her with it."

Master Jiang and his wife were invited by An Chuxia to sit aside.

Seeing Mo Ziluo, Wang Libin and Chen Han, they all felt that they had a certain bearing.

So after the introduction, they also began to chat slowly, and there was constant laughter in the hall.

With a supporting atmosphere, the little master Jiang Zhirou is here, so it's hard not to be lively.

At noon, the three members of Jiang's family had dinner at An Chuxia's house before taking their leave.

After the Jiang family left, the three of Mo Ziluo sat down for a while, and then went back to prepare to write a letter to the family.

In the residence of the Minister of Rites, Lu Chengda already knew that the person who was admitted to Huiyuan this year was a female student whom his father asked him to take care of.

At this time, he felt a little regretful, he shouldn't belittle just because he saw a female student in the letter.

Now that she wants to make friends again, her affection is not as sincere and honest as it was when she first came to Beijing.

"Master, why should you care so much? Even if this girl wins the first prize, she may not be selected as the number one female scholar in the imperial examination."

Mrs. Yu's wife rolled her eyes, raised the corners of her mouth, and said, "Even if she passes the imperial examination, so what if she wins the No. [-] Scholar, I heard that she is only a girl of seventeen or eighteen.

At that time, please ask her father-in-law to find her teacher as a matchmaker, and let Ning'er marry her as his wife, so that she will become our family.

Why should the master lower his posture to make friends. "

Lu Chengda pondered for a while, and felt that what his wife said made sense, so he nodded his head in agreement with what Mrs. Yu said.

Most of the people in the capital who paid close attention to this exam sent people to find out who An Chuxia who won the prize this time was.

In front of Chunwei, all eyes were on those male Xie Yuan from various provinces, and the forces from all sides wooed and made friends, just for the sake of being able to use them for themselves after passing the exam.

Who would have thought that the title of being the first in the exam would fall to a female examinee who came from nowhere.

No matter what, An Chuxia, Huiyuan, was admitted as a veritable name.

The next day, An Chuxia dressed herself up as a black boy, and accompanied An Jinchen, Runsheng, and An Zixi, who hadn't slept all night, to Hongsheng Gambling House to collect money for betting.

The reason why An Chuxia went with them was because he was worried that his brother had placed a high bet. If the gambling house thought of cheating and refusing to pay, it would be bad if they had a dispute and then injured them.

However, Hongsheng Gambling House is the largest gambling house in the whole capital, so it shouldn't be possible to do such a thing because of this little money.

Otherwise, if they bet on other things next time, who would dare to bet money.

Sure enough, An Chuxia and the others went, and after checking the betting receipts, the manager of the gambling shop ordered someone to bring them 200 taels of silver.

An Chuxia saw the steward in the noisy lobby of the casino, and handed them the banknotes in front of so many gamblers.

Squinting his eyes, before An Jinchen reached out his hand, he took the bank note and put it into his arms.

The steward glanced at the dark-faced An Chuxia, showed a weird smile, turned and left.

Not long after walking out of Hongsheng Gambling House, An Chuxia felt that someone was following him. She didn't know it was the gamblers who had seen them collect a large amount of money in the gambling house.

He was originally the person sent by Hongsheng Gambling Workshop to grab the banknotes.

An Chuxia took An Jinchen and the others towards a crowded place, and finally entered a clothing store, and gave the boss ten taels of silver to pass through the back door of his house before getting away proudly.

This incident also left a shadow in the hearts of An Jinchen, Runsheng, and An Zixi who were originally happy to win so much money.

Only then did they understand that the money in the gambling house was destined to win, and it was probably spent for nothing. Since then, the three of them never went to the gambling room to place bets.

The three of them all understood that if An Chuxia hadn't followed them today, the three of them would have been foolishly happy to get so many bank notes.

It is very likely that he was murdered for money.

After An Chuxia brought the three of them back, her complexion was not good. If she hadn't thought about it a little more today, her brother and the others would not have come back so safely.

She took out the bank note, and Runsheng bet fifty, twenty times it was 1000 taels.

An Chuxia handed the 1000 tael bank note to Runsheng.

"Brother Runsheng, this is yours."

Runsheng took the bank note and his heart was still beating uneasy, not because the 1000 taels of silver note was beating happily, but because he was frightened by the chasing of those big men who followed behind just now.

The ten taels of silver that An Zixi felt sorry for betting at the beginning has now become 200 taels. Originally, An Chuxia was thinking whether to keep it for him, but he thought that he was 15 years old this year, so he was not a child anymore.

He also gave An Zixi his 200 taels of silver notes to keep for himself.

He just told him not to gamble in the future, or he would be sent back to his hometown and work in the village under the sun for the rest of his life.
