Chapter 33 Let's Make a Bet



"Master Jiang."

Shen Zhaozhao came over with a smile, his eyes fell on the bundle in Jiang Hu's hand.

I feel very open-minded.

Jiang Hu was a smart man. He knew why she came here this time and brought the bag of white flour buns with her.

"Is there something?" Jiang Hu asked knowingly.

"It's because there were so many people and we didn't dare to buy more, so we only bought a white flour bun," Shen Zhaozhao said with a sweet smile, pointing to the bundle in Jiang Hu's hand, "Wang's second sister-in-law said that money is a problem, so we can let the officials consider it for us."

"Are you going to buy them all?" Jiang Hu was happy.

There were eight white steamed buns in the bundle, and they all took them. The silver went directly into the pockets of these servants.

"Yes," Shen Zhaozhao leaned over to count the amount and took out eight taels of silver.

Jiang Hu took it and put the heavy silver in his hand. He looked at Shen Zhaozhao's back as she walked back with the bundle, and his shrewd eyes narrowed again.

"Boss, the young wife of the Zhan family is really well-off." An officer came over and saw Shen Zhaozhao bought all the remaining white steamed buns, and couldn't help but smack his lips.

Few exiled prisoners would be so generous.

"Kuanyu is her second sister-in-law. She comes from a merchant family. She has foresight and strategy, which is more useful than having money in hand." Jiang Hu smacked his lips.

The Zhan family could have just bought all the white steamed buns from him, but they had to come over to buy them in secret.

It not only gave him enough benefits, but also looked eye-catching.

Jiang Hu pondered secretly.

Is this slick style of behavior the intention of the old lady of the Zhan family, or is it the intention of the young wife herself?

Shen Zhaozhao carried his bag back to the pavilion and sneezed several times along the way.

"Caught a cold?" Zhan Nanxing had been keeping an eye on her.

His legs and feet were loose, so he moved. He watched her go alone to talk to the officers, feeling very nervous.

These are what he should do as a husband.

Now she, a woman, is asked to talk to those rude people.

Shen Zhaozhao sniffed, “Maybe, the wind was a bit strong just now.”

Shen Zhaozhao gathered all the members of the Zhan family into a small circle.

Under the cover of taking out the white steamed bun from the bag, Shen Zhaozhao took out the meat buns from the space and mixed them with the white steamed buns and divided them.

"The policeman is a nice guy. Look, he bought all their white steamed buns and gave them a few meat buns. Let's eat the meat buns first." Shen Zhaozhao said stealthily.

After saying that, he forgot to make a gesture to keep quiet.

The Zhan family members are all discerning people. They know that their family members eat well and will definitely let other family members know. They all nodded, indicating that they understood Shen Zhaozhao's meaning.

Guo 꿻 stared at the meat bun in his hand with his eyes wide open.

Why do these buns look so much like the work of the Zhan family’s cook?

Take a bite, the meat filling is plump and the fragrance lingers in your mouth.

It smells really good.

Guo Xiaoxiao thought about it carefully and realized that he was really hungry. He finished the bun in just two bites.

"There's more." Shen Zhaozhao took out another bun with a smile.

Guo Xiao was stunned.

"Why are those officers so kind today?" Lin Xiaoxiao felt strange.

Shen Zhaozhao replied, "After they finish eating these meat buns, they will go bad if we keep them. We paid him eleven taels of silver just for the steamed buns!"

This does not even include the cost of staying at the post station last night.

Lin 꿻놌Guo 꿻 felt heartbroken when he thought of the huge amount of money he had given as a filial tribute, and he immediately cast aside his doubts.

Taking big bites of the bun in his hand.

Eleven taels of silver were used to buy these steamed buns and steamed buns. Those officials are so evil-hearted!

Shen Zhaozhao was hungry, so he took the meat bun and buried his head in eating. He ate a lot and choked a little, so he raised his hand and patted his chest.

"Here." Zhan Nanxing handed over a bamboo tube.

Shen Zhaozhao was very polite. He took it and drank it quickly, and it went down smoothly with great difficulty.

Although Zhan Nanxing got up, Shen Zhaozhao happened to be sitting next to him. Without thinking too much, he raised his hand and gently patted her back to help her calm down.

"Eat slowly, lie down, eat, and I'll give you the rest."

Shen Zhaozhao recovered and saw that the rest of the Zhan family were eating voraciously, so he quickly reminded them.

This guy is really scary when he's extremely hungry. He's bound to choke.

With Shen Zhaozhao as a precedent, the Zhan family ate a little slower.

"You eat it, you can't finish it by yourself," Shen Zhaozhao saw Zhan Nanxing handing him the bun and quickly refused.

She still has some in her space.

He must save the food for himself.

Zhan Nanxing said he would take it back no matter what. Shen Zhaozhao got a little impatient. This man was quite stubborn.

She thought about it, broke a bun into two halves, kept half for herself and gave the other half to Zhan Nanxing.

Zhan Nanxing looked at the half-eaten bun in front of him, and suddenly a warm feeling surged in his heart. This was what it felt like to share food with someone.

The big hand took it.

The buns are delicious.

Zhan Nanxing was eating, and when he looked up, he saw Shen Zhaozhao eating the other half in small bites. He instantly felt that this bun was even more delicious than the one made by the Zhan family's cook.

In the pavilion, everyone was eating.

Those who had white steamed buns ate them in two bites. Those who didn't have white steamed buns tried to gnaw on the black steamed buns soaked in cold water.

Only Yang Hanliu had been whipped in the morning and had unbearable pain on her back, so she ate the black steamed bun.

Staring at the Zhan family.

One moment, I saw Shen Zhaozhao coming back from looking for Jiang Hu, and everyone in the Zhan family had white steamed buns to eat. The next moment, I saw Zhan Nanxing handing Shen Zhaozhao some water and even giving his own portion to Shen Zhaozhao.

Yang Hanliu's fingernails pinched her palms so hard that they hurt.

If she had married into the Zhan family, she would be the one eating white steamed buns now.

And her cousin also cares about her.

Everything that Chen Zhaozhao is enjoying now was originally hers.

"Sister, would you like to eat?" A little boy came over and looked greedily at the motionless black bun in Yang Hanliu's hand.

Yang Hanliu almost suffocated herself to death.

What about now?

But no one came to care about her. The Yang family members were only busy fetching water and eating black steamed buns. No one thought that she was injured and could not go to the stream alone.

Even a little kid came to stare at her black steamed bun!

"If you want to eat it, go ahead and eat it!" Yang Hanliu angrily threw the hard black bun in her hand at the boy.

The black bun hit the boy and fell to the ground.

The boy didn't dislike it, he picked it up and ran away.

Yang Hanliu found that she had nothing to eat, which made her even more depressed. She looked towards the Zhan family again.

Yang 꿻 was eating a white steamed bun with great relish.

"Aunt..." Yang Hanliu called pitifully.

Guo and Lin exchanged glances and silently stuffed the last bite of the meat bun into their mouths.

"Cousin Liu, please have a good rest. What are you doing here?" Zhan Zhiyao stared at Yang Hanliu like a little wild cat guarding its food.

Zhan Zhiyao asked this question even though he knew the answer.

Yang Hanliu was most likely planning to take the steamed bun in Yang 翻's hand.

Zhan Zhiyao didn't dislike this cousin so much before, but after spending two years together, she finally saw through Yang Hanliu's true nature.

Fortunately, Brother 꺘 married Sister-in-law 꺘 instead of this cousin from the Yang family!

"Aunt, my black steamed bun was snatched away by a kid. Can you give me some white steamed buns?" Yang Hanliu grabbed Yang Xiao's sleeve and said coquettishly.

Yang 꿻 didn't say anything.

Guo Xiao was the first to respond: "Mother, please don't be so mean. She will instigate people to go to the police and complain that our steamed buns were stolen."

Guo Xiao was a quick-witted person, and he was good at making sarcastic remarks.

After saying that, he even rolled his eyes.

Shen Zhaozhao noticed this and saw Yang Hanliu shaking Yang Hanliu's sleeves very persistently. He said to Zhan Nanxing beside him in a playful manner:

"Husband, do you dare to take a gamble?"

Zhan Nanxing raised his handsome eyebrows. He felt that the current Shen Zhaozhao was strange and lively.

Also seductive.

"Okay." He asked what to bet on and agreed directly.

"Let's bet that mother will be soft-hearted and give the steamed buns to your cousin." Shen Zhaozhao took the lead in betting, "I'll bet two silver coins that she will."

Zhan Nanxing had no choice, he had no money.

After thinking for a while, he said:

"My mother must be soft-hearted."

He took out the dagger he always carried with him.

"I bet she'll take the money out."

He paused, "Also, don't call her your cousin. You don't have such a cousin."
