hiss……
There was a sound of gasps from the crowd.
Everyone looked at Sudi in shock.
"One hundred thousand taels? Is this guy crazy?"
"No, who is Zhao Lin? Is he worth 100,000 taels?"
"Could he be a disciple of some great scholar?"
The crowd was talking.
Zhao Lin quickly grabbed Sudi and said, "Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive."
Sudi said, "I'm not impulsive. I think you are much better than them. You are the best candidate for this championship."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around sneered.
"I want to know who this Mr. Zhao Lin is, what his background is, and who his master is. He could make you treat all the heroes in the world as nothing and say such words."
An examiner looked at Sudi proudly.
A teasing voice came from the distance: "He is an orphan, born in a charity, and has no master."
Su Di turned around and found that the person who spoke was someone next to Zhao Chenhan.
With a loud "whoosh", the crowd became even more agitated.
"An orphan without a father or mother, without even a teacher, dares to come here and act so arrogantly. It's really ridiculous."
"That's not true. An orphan actually passed the imperial examination, which really boosted people's confidence."
"Humph, he's just a Juren. Who here isn't a Juren?"
Many people responded with sneers and ridicule.
Su Di angrily said, "He has no family background or teachers, so what? Not only did he take first place three times in a row, he was also the top scorer in the Shengjing Prefecture's provincial examination. Even the Shengjing Prefecture Governor, Lord Li, admired him and appointed him as the Inspector General for the collection of the Flower and Stone Tax. Who among you can compare to him?"
"It's him! The one who wrote poems for the eunuchs!"
After hearing what Sudi said, some people immediately remembered who Zhao Lin was.
"I remember now. I'm ashamed to be associated with such a person who actually came to take the scientific expedition!"
"The imperial court should ban this person from taking the imperial examinations!"
Many people shouted.
"The person next to him is Zhao Lin."
Someone shouted.
Everyone looked over.
Sudi's heart tightened, and he felt a little regretful for causing trouble for Zhao Lin.
But Zhao Lin was neither happy nor angry, and glanced at everyone with a calm expression.
In his past and present lives, Zhao Lin has seen all kinds of scenes.
When he looked over, those people didn't dare to look at him and turned their heads away.
Fortunately, the Thousand Yuan Gambling House spoke out in time.
"Sir, you only have eight thousand taels, not enough for one hundred thousand taels."
Sudi said angrily, "Who goes out with so many banknotes?"
The manager of the Thousand Yuan Gambling House said, "But you said you wanted to bet one hundred thousand taels on this Mr. Zhao to win."
Sudi said: "You don't have any odds."
The steward quickly said, "Don't worry, it was our mistake to forget Mr. Zhao. We'll make up for it right away."
The men discussed quietly for a moment, then said, "Young Master Zhao's odds are 1:1.5. What do you think?"
Sudi frowned immediately.
There aren't even any odds, which proves that they are not optimistic about Zhao Lin.
And now offering such high odds is just to lure Sudi to place a bet.
Anyway, Zhao Lin won't win the first prize, so no matter how much they bet, it's all theirs.
"no."
Zhao Lin spoke before Sudi: "Only 1.5, too little."
The steward laughed and said, "Young Master Zhao, you don't know. This is already very high. Young Master Jiang Yichen is only 1.2."
Zhao Lin said calmly: "1:2, or we won't play anymore."
Zhao Lin didn't want Sudi to place a bet.
Zhao Lin never touches gambling or drugs.
After discussing it for a while, they said, "1:2 is fine, but we have to pay the 100,000 taels that the young master mentioned earlier."
Sudi said angrily: "It's okay to bet, but one hundred thousand taels, is that money?"
Everyone looked sideways.
He doesn't even consider one hundred thousand taels as money. Who is this guy?
At this point, Zhao Lin stopped trying to persuade him and said, "You and I will each pay half, just treat it as a game."
He didn't dare to say that he could definitely take first place.
If he fails, Sudi will lose half as much.
Sudi smiled and said, "Okay. I'll have someone send the banknotes right away."
Sudi was about to ask someone to go home and get the silver.
"Oh, you don't know your own limitations."
A mocking voice came from the side.
Su Di looked over and saw that it was Zhao Mingya.
Sudi was furious:
"Bitch, you haven't paid me the money you owe me yet, and you still dare to show up in front of me?"
Zhao Mingya's face froze.
She only saw that Sudi actually bet on Zhao Lin, who was not even favored by the gambling house, and she couldn't help but mock him, but forgot about the debt.
"Bitch, pay your debt quickly, or I'll have people go to the gate of your Zhenbei Marquis Mansion and curse you in the street."
Su Di threatened: "My Jinzhou Su family is not afraid of your Zhenbei Marquis Mansion."
Jinzhou Su family!
Everyone looked sideways.
The Jinzhou Su family is also a big family, not inferior to the Chaozhou Bai family.
Although they are not officials in the court like the Bai family, their business is spread all over the world and they are one of the top wealthy merchants in the country.
Rich enough to rival a country!
The most important thing is that wherever business goes, your connections will follow.
They have people in the court, in the opposition, and even in the northern barbarians outside the Great Wall.
Zhao Mingya was so angry that Sudi called her a bitch in front of so many scholars that her face turned red and her chest heaved violently: "You, you..."
"What do you mean by 'I'm willing to accept the loss'? Don't you want to give it to me anymore? If you don't want to give it to me, then just shout three times here that you don't keep your word, and I won't give it to you."
Su Di said disdainfully: "It's just a farm worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. I don't even care about it."
Zhao Mingya was so angry at Sudi that she was speechless.
Zhao Chenhan blamed Zhao Mingya in his heart for being a waste. She hadn't dealt with Su Di for such a long time and had embarrassed herself in public. He really didn't want to know her, but he still spoke quickly.
