All the major gambling houses are now placing bets, but only the top three can bet.
There are several ways to play. One is to directly bet on who will be the first place, second place, and third place.
The other is to bet on who can make it into the top three.
The first one has the highest odds, but is also the most difficult to bet on.
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "Of course my husband is the first choice. I bet 10,000 taels."
Xi Rui almost spit out his tea, "You actually pressed so much?"
If Xiao Hanzheng didn't get the first place in the exam, it would be a huge loss.
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "A thousand gold coins cannot buy my happiness. If you have money, you can be willful."
Except for Liang Youxiao and Xi Rong, the others: "..." Spendthrift woman.
But I’m so envious, they also want to be rich and willful.
Qi Yiyang also participated in the imperial examination this time.
He felt that he had done well in the exam and that there was still a good chance of passing.
But it’s a bit difficult to get into the top three.
Unexpectedly, Shi Qingluo bet on Xiao Hanzheng to be first as soon as he arrived.
He asked Xiao Hanzheng: "Are you sure you can win the championship?"
Xiao Hanzheng smiled: "I can't be sure about this."
“But the top three should be no problem.”
He was still very satisfied with his answers in this exam.
Qi Yiyang: “…” These two couples are more confident than each other.
He couldn't help but ask Shi Qingluo again: "What if I lose money?"
After all, it was only 12,000 taels of silver, which was not even as much as his private savings combined.
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "It's a loss, didn't I just say that when you have money, you can be so willful."
Her husband would probably only take the imperial examination once in his life, so of course she had to go to express her happiness.
She has earned a lot of dividends recently, so she has more and more money.
The young master gave her all the money he earned from writing storybooks and treating patients, except for his own expenses.
She waved her hand again, "Ten thousand taels is just a drop in the bucket."
Qi Yiyang: “…” He was too jealous. This woman was too rich.
It's just a drizzle to pay back ten thousand taels. She is such a spendthrift.
"Then I wish Brother Xiao success in the imperial examination." He said, suppressing his anger.
Although he felt that the possibility of Xiao Hanzheng winning was not that high, after all, several popular candidates recently were very strong.
The imperial examination brings together the strongest candidates from the entire Daliang, so the competition is fierce.
It is difficult for a young man like him, who comes from a noble family in the capital, to make it into the top three.
Xiao Hanzheng smiled, "Thank you!"
In the past, he spoke in a reserved and modest manner.
But I don’t know why, after being with his young wife, he became less modest when talking to acquaintances as long as he was sure of himself.
Just like what my young wife said, this may be the case of "birds of a feather flock together."
Just then, Xiao Hanzheng's close followers ran in excitedly.
"Master, you have won the first place in the high school entrance examination."
As soon as he finished speaking, the servant that Xi Rui and others had asked to keep an eye on the list came back.
"Mr. Xiao is number one."
Then Qi Yiyang's servant rushed in, "Sir, you are number nineteen."
Qi Yiyang breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he couldn't help feeling sour.
I didn’t expect that Xiao Hanzheng actually passed the exam and became the top scorer. What’s wrong with this guy’s brain?
Although Xiao Hanzheng's teacher is Mr. Hou, his teacher is not bad either.
When Shi Qingluo heard that her husband was the first place winner, she smiled and pulled his sleeve, "Congratulations, husband!"
Her husband is indeed a big shot, he is so awesome.
Xi Rui and the others also smiled and said, "Congratulations!"
Xi Rui laughed again: "Haha, I won."
He didn't buy as much as Shi Qingluo, just two thousand taels.
But according to the odds, you can still make several thousand taels.
Then he sighed, "You two are really my lucky stars!"
Xi Rui turned around and widened his eyes, "When did you buy it?"
Liang Youxiao curled his lips, "After you."
"But in terms of earning more, it's still Qing Luo and Xi Rong."
He could earn tens of thousands of taels by buying five thousand taels.
Both women bought 10,000 taels, so if it doubles, they can make at least 20,000 or 30,000 taels.
Xi Rong smiled proudly and said, "That's right, if you follow Luo Luo, you will have meat to eat."
The reason why she followed Shi Qingluo to buy ten thousand taels was not because she believed in Xiao Hanzheng, but to show her support for Shi Qingluo.
I didn't expect that I could make a lot of money from this.
Fei Yuzhe couldn't help laughing and scolding, "You actually went to place bets secretly, and I didn't even know about it."
He is such an honest man that he even forgot to place the bet.
Qi Yiyang was also very envious. If he had known earlier, he would have followed the others to place bets.
He had seen Xi Rui placing a bet before, but he didn't take it seriously.
The main reason is that I don’t think Xiao Hanzheng can be first.
Xiao Hanzheng asked his attendant: "Who are the second and third place?"
The attendant replied: "The second place is Zhuo Jun, and the third place is Lu Yiping."
Shi Qingluo raised his eyebrows, "This Zhuo Jun's grades are pretty good."
Qi Yiyang continued, "He is a popular candidate for the top three. He has won the third place in the provincial examination before and was also the first place in the provincial examination."
"But this time the first place was won by your husband, so his chance of winning the third place is over."
"Brother Xiao, you have a good chance of getting the top three prizes."
As long as Xiao Hanzheng could be chosen as the number one scholar by the emperor in the palace examination, he would be among the top three.
From the founding of the Daliang Dynasty to the present day, no one has ever won three first prizes in a row.
I don’t know if Xiao Hanzheng can break it.
Xi Rui and the others smiled and said, "Old Xiao still has hope."
He added: "If you win the top three prizes, you must treat us to a good meal."
Xiao Hanzheng nodded and smiled: "Of course."
"But nothing is certain. Whether you can pass the imperial examination or not depends on your performance and luck in the palace examination."
Although he was somewhat confident about passing the exam and becoming the top scorer, he was not completely sure.
After all, that was not something he could control, and it was not simply a matter of looking at the written articles, but rather the emperor's intentions.
Fei Yuzhe chuckled and said, "Even if I didn't get the top spot, it would be great if I could stay in the top three in the palace examination."
With Xiao Hanzheng's knowledge, it would be no problem for him to pass the palace examination.
It depends on the top three and what place the final result will be.
Xi Rui smiled and said, "Among the three of you, Lao Xiao is the best looking. Don't let him treat you like a third place winner."
Because the emperor was his uncle, he didn't have to be so cautious when speaking.
Liang Youxiao teased, "It's not impossible. After all, Old Xiao is so good-looking."
This actually depends on how the emperor uses Xiao Hanzheng.
After all, although the top three are both the top three, there are still differences between them.
Xiao Hanzheng laughed, "If I get it, I'm lucky. If I lose it, it's my fate. I won't force it."
He really thought so.
Judging from the emperor's attitude, he should be used. He is also confident about the palace examination, so he is likely to be in the top three.
By ranking among the top three in the exam, he had made up for his regret of not being able to continue taking the imperial examination in his previous life, and that was enough.
Fei Yuzhe said: "Old Xiao, what you said is good."
He picked up the wine glass again and said, "Come on, since you have won the first place in the imperial examination, you must drink this glass of wine."
The others followed suit, "Yes, yes, Lao Xiao must not return home until he is drunk today."
Xiao Hanzheng picked up the wine glass and chuckled, "Okay, I'll drink with you guys today."
Then everyone started toasting each other, all happy for Xiao Hanzheng.
Qi Yiyang himself scored 19th. As long as there were no problems in the palace examination, he would definitely be in the second place. He could give an explanation to both his family and himself, and he was happy.
Also followed by a cup of the whole.
