Chapter 54 Make a bet

When Yongning Hou came in, he saw that the atmosphere in the room was a bit weird.

Everyone's eyes were shiny, as if they were hungry domestic animals, waiting to feed them.

He frowned: "What are you talking about?"

Xue Mei answered first: "Father, I sold another thing yesterday and made 30,000 taels. My grandmother and my third brother praised me for being so good and brought glory to the Marquis' Mansion."

Everyone: "..."

Yongning Hou's pupils also tightened slightly in an instant.

Thirty thousand taels?

"What did you sell?" His voice tightened involuntarily, and the words he said were a little sharp. He could hear it himself, and he suppressed his throat to remedy it, "What did you sell?"

"Mosquito coil." Xue Mei said.

She told them what mosquito coils were.

After she finished speaking, the third young master spoke again: "Uncle, I said that the eldest sister makes money, relying on our Marquis' Mansion, the money should be handed over to the elders. Is this a good thing?"

Yongning Hou nodded.

They looked like they wanted to steal it openly, and their faces were really disgusting.

The fifth young master couldn't help it and stood up and shouted: "That's the big sister's money. Are you shameless?"

This made Yongning Hou angry and embarrassed: "Serious son, what did you say?"

He was about to get angry when he saw it.

The fifth young master did not retreat at all: "Father, you are noble and honest, and you will never do such a shameless thing, right?"

What this said was like slapping Yongning Hou in the face, and Yongning Hou became even more angry.

The third young master stirred up the flames: "Fifth brother, what kind of ecstasy soup did the eldest sister give you? I don't believe that her leg was cured.

Maybe you are not seriously injured, but she just used a little trick to buy you. She can really bring back her life, so why don’t she dare to treat her elder brother?”

The Xue family is not short of bad guys, and someone immediately agreed: "That's it."

"Fifth Master, don't follow the mess."

"Fifth brother, you are not helping the eldest sister, but you are harming her and teaching her to be unfilial."

The fifth young master is about to get mad.

Seeing that the opportunity was almost here, Xue Mei spoke and said, "I dare not say anything else, but my medical skills are real. I can also treat my brother's legs."

Everyone was in an uproar.

The fifth young master was about to be angry. He couldn't beat them, and the eldest sister even threw herself into the trap and dragged him down.

"Really?" The third young master seemed to be smiling.

"Of course it's true." Xue Mei said, "If you pick up a prosthetic limb for your elder brother, he can walk freely without a crutch. It's just that it's impossible to be as natural as a normal person."

Everyone: "..."

How is this possible?

If this method was useful, it would have been used long ago. The eldest young master's legs were broken from the root of his thigh, not under his knees. In other words, no wood can replace his knees.

Using wood as prosthetic limbs has been said before, but the wounds are prone to ulceration and are more inconvenient to move, so it is not as useful as crutches.

That refers to the broken leg under the knee.

Above the knees, even a purely useless person, and the gods of Daluo can do nothing. No matter how good a skilled craftsman is, he cannot create such prosthetics.

Is the eldest lady a little bit arrogant? She dares to say such words, but she doesn't know how high the world is.

When the old lady and Yongning Hou heard this, they frowned and planned to scold Xue Mei.

Xue Mei continued, "Third Brother, do you dare to make bets with me?"

"Okay, how do you bet?" The third young master laughed, feeling that he might have to make some money from this dog.

"Just bet that my brother can stand up and walk without relying on crutches, and bet that my brother can walk freely in the mansion, go up the steps or down the slope, either." Xue Mei smiled, "Of course, I can't force him to be more normal, he may be a little lame."

The third young master: “…”

This stupid thing really can't stand the aggression, and he dares to make such an absurd bet.

"Okay." The third young master smiled, "Then let's bet bigger, what about ten thousand taels?"

Xue Mei was overjoyed: "That's great."

Then, she looked at everyone, "Do you want to participate in the gambling? I have more than 49,900 taels of silver notes on me, and I can bet a lot. If you participate in the gambling, we will hire an intermediary and give the silver notes to the intermediary first, so that I won't cheat."

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and they were a little excited.

This is a sure profit and no loss.

The young lady is going to be a boy who spends money.

Very good and very good!

"I'm also involved in the gambling game." The fourth lady Xue Qin said immediately, "I don't have that much money, only fifty taels. If I win, will the eldest sister give me fifty taels?"

"yes."

The fourth lady is the third young master's real sister, so she naturally has to protect her brother and earn fifty taels by the way.

She said this, and the others responded.

Even Xue Yutan smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I'll also participate in the gambling, for fun. I have a thousand taels."

This is all her cash.

The Yongning Hou Mansion is not rich. Xue Yutan is a lady in the boudoir. She can save so much cash, but the old lady and Yongning Hou are particularly partial to her.

I bet with Xue Mei that this thousand tael will become two thousand taels, which is too easy.

You know, Xue Yutan saved this thousand taels for many years, but he tried his best to save it. Now, it is so easy to earn back a thousand taels with it.

"Everyone has participated in the gambling. If you don't dare to gamble, you will have to pay the money." The third young master looked stern, "Otherwise, I won't forgive you for now."

Xue Mei nodded: "This is natural."

She glanced at the excitement of everyone, then looked at the third lady, the Marquis of Yongning and the Old lady, and asked them, "Grandmother, Father, are you joining in the fun? Aunt San, where are you?"

Yongning Hou planned to say something ridiculous, but when he remembered Xue Mei's money, he could not be deceived by his mother and the third wife. He frowned: "I also paid 10,000 taels. This is a lesson for you, but it is not that the father and Hou are greedy for you."

The old lady pondered: "I am the same as the marquis."

When the third lady saw that the Marquis of Yongning was shameless, she was worried about something and immediately said, "I will pay 10,000 taels too. If you want to play, you can have fun."

In the whole room, except for the fifth young master Xue Run, there was a group of people who didn't say anything.

There are four people in this group: the master of the second wife, the wife and their son, the second young master, and the fourth young master.

Xue Jingsheng, the second-bedroom master, is a concubine's son and is not favored at home. Their daily food and clothing cost is much worse than that of the long-bedroom, the third-bedroom, and the seven-bedroom.

"Uncle II, don't you participate in the gambling?" asked the third young master.

The second master looked at Xue Mei and felt sad that he was sympathetic and pitiful: "Forget it, I don't have money..."

"There is always one or two taels of silver. Let's take a gamble and have fun." said the third young master.

Why don’t you make money if you make sure you make money?

What does it have to do with the money left on Xue Mei and brought to the Wen family in the future? So, every article must be deducted for her.

The Wen family can't take such a big advantage.

The second master was silent.

The fourth young master Xue Huai is as old as the fifth young master. He is also fourteen years old, but he is not rebellious at all.

The fourth young master just looked at the third young master coldly: "My father is not really out of money, but he is afraid of losing."

Everyone was stunned and then burst into laughter.

The third young master laughed so hard that he fell.

They are afraid of losing a bet that is safe to win? Haven’t they been mentally broken?

"Second uncle, you..."

"Last time Run'er's feet were indeed cured by Mei'er." The second master's sad face was filled with his solemnity, "We are indeed afraid of losing."

The third young master was speechless to them.

Why are there such idiots in the Hou Mansion?

Xue Mei glanced at them.

She really didn't expect that there were people who were open-minded in the Yongning Marquis' Mansion. The people in the second house were not afraid of losing, but did not want to take advantage of Xue Mei.

In the quagmire, I still yearn for the light.
