"Yes, the boy has a low status and his words are slight. His words sound like he has no basis and no reason. Since Mr. Xijian and Duke Chong do not believe it, I will use the million-dollar income from Xiaolongwan Harbor as a bet. If what I say does not come true, I will give Duke Chong to Duke Chong next year. If the words are fulfilled, then I hope Duke Chong will do me a favor?"

"What do you need me to do?" Wu Qian's hand shaking slightly while holding the teacup.

Not to mention that he, an honest official, would not be able to stand the bet of a million yuan in real money, even the emperor of the dynasty would be unable to stand the heart.

One million guan, if it is exchanged for copper coins, I am afraid that it will fill the entire five-story Lingjiang Pavilion.

Even if it is exchanged for silver, it will be a full one million taels. It will fall down and smash the entire Lingjiang Pavilion to pieces.

"As for what you are busy with, you're temporarily shut up, but Mr. Wu doesn't worry, it's definitely not something that embarrasses you or can't do!"

Wu Qian grabbed his beard and his skin trembled slightly.

Zhao Qi's bet was completely beyond his expectations, and the bet chips were far beyond his ability to bear it, but Zhao Qi did not disclose the content of the bet failure, which also made him a little confused.

To be honest, at the moment, he can no longer treat Zhao Qi as an ordinary mountain boy. No matter how credible Zhao Qi's words are, this monster can no longer be treated as an ordinary person.

"Duke Chongguo, since Zhao Dalang is so sure, what's the point of betting with you? I want to see how credible his speculation is!" Ye Mengding spoke after twitching for a while.

"Well, since Xijian also thinks it can be gambled, I have accepted Zhao Dalang's bet!" Wu Qian's face slowly relaxed and nodded.

"Okay, that kid will dare to speculate again. At most three months, the news of the Mongols' attack on Sichuan will reach Lin'an. The leader is the Mongolian Khan Mengge. If the boy's speculation is not fulfilled by then, I will personally bring a million yuan of gambling funds to Duke Chong's mansion next year. This bet will be witnessed by Mr. Xijian. Duke Chong will definitely be able to get 30,000 to 50,000 yuan in tea and water!"

"Thirty or fifty thousand coins..." Ye Mengding pulled out several of his beards with his hand shaking, and a golden light seemed to be reflected in the depths of his eyes.

The two high school rankings have been in the ups and downs of the officialdom for decades, but most of the time they are just idle positions. Even if they are granted official positions in prefectures and counties, they will often be dismissed from office in the future. Most of the time they spend editing history and even idle poems at home.

I have been in trouble for three years now.

During the period of Ding You, there were only official tributes and no official responsibilities. As for the money for the branch and ministers, he was even less. Moreover, he was a fourth-rank Imperial College Priest and went home to Ding You. He only had about fifty cents of official tribute every month. This amount of money seemed to be a lot of ordinary people, but it would not be enough to spend it in their family's great and wealthy official families. If it weren't for the fact that some wealthy businessmen and students kept offering gifts, it would be a problem for the family to eat, drink, defecate and sedate.

Therefore, Zhao Qi's words of 30,000 to 50,000 yuan in tea cost instantly made his reserved and proud heart scatter.

Reservedness is reserved, but a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way.

If Wu Qian really wins the bet, he will naturally be confident in taking the money.

"Haha, okay, if I win, I will definitely give Xijian a large sum of tea and water. I will wait for the news in a few months!" Wu Qian smiled and stood up and shook the tea on his clothes.

"Why is grandpa laughing so happily today!"

Accompanied by a light footsteps, a girl wearing a light white rosy and a scattered peach-rose skirt came up the stairs with a tea tray. Her hair was like a drooping cloud, her eyes were like a flowing cloud, her jade neck and snowy face, her plain hands were white, her gait was as graceful as a clear spring, her makeup was simple but not simple, and she was obviously a standard beauty in the Song Dynasty.

"Yuechan met Mr. Xijian and met the two young masters!"

The girl walked into the attic and gave a generous blessing. Then she bent down and placed the tea tray gently on the coffee table to start tidying up the tea set.

Behind the girl, two little maids in green clothes soon came up, one carrying a can of steaming copper pot and the other holding a silver bowl, with half a bowl of blue and white tea powder inside.

"I have met the master, Mr. Xijian and the two young masters!" The two little girls are also maids of wealthy families. They obviously have good tutoring and training. After the blessing of blessing, they placed the kettle and tea jar on the tea table.

The girl lined up the four tea cups in a row, then used a teaspoon of grinded tea powder into each cup with a teaspoon, lifted the copper pot and poured a little boiling water, and then gently stirred it with tea. Soon a strong tea fragrance radiated in the attic.

Adding fragrance to red sleeves and grinding tea with plain hands is the favorite life scene of literati and scholars in the Song Dynasty, and it is also the life of a scholar-official that people in later generations envied the most.

Looking at the girl's skillful and gentle movements, Zhao Qi was a little ashamed and sighed.

Such a good and elegant life will soon be interrupted by the Mongols. There are no more desirable inheritances in the Chinese culture after the Song Dynasty.

When women were liberated, after the liberation of women, let alone tea and add fragrance, calling their wives to pour a cup of tea is a luxury. Married men have to save even pocket money by themselves, and private money has become a patent for men.

When the tea was ordered, the girl was gently moving, and soon four cups of tea were placed in front of the four people.

"Please use tea for everyone!" The girl whispered a blessing gift and took two steps back.

"Haha, Qing'er's tea art is getting longer and longer now. I wonder which young man can marry her home and enjoy her happiness!" Ye Mengding smiled and picked up the teacup and joked.

"Mr. Xijian wants to make fun of me again!" The girl's cheeks blushed and angrily looked Ye Mengding.

"Haha, I said today that I met a strange boy. Qing'er came here with her reputation. Qing'er, this Zhao Dalang is the case!" Wu Qian pointed at Zhao Qi and said with a smile.

The girl's eyes fell on Zhao Qi, looking at her ordinary gray-white cloth, a hint of surprise appeared on her beautiful face, and her big, lively eyes showed a slight surprise.

"Qing'er, you should not behave like a person, and the sea water should not be measured. Don't read it wrong. You didn't hear Zhao Dalang's words just now. I was so scared that I almost dropped the teacup downstairs!" Ye Mengding blew the floating mo in the tea bowl and said with a strange smile on his face.

"Mr. Xijian is too exaggerated. I just felt it because of my feelings!" Zhao Qi waved his hand quickly.

"Don't be humble to be humble. I have seen many young talents, but I am the one who is the most unpredictable. I won't say more. Please try this year's Dragon Tuan Gong Tea, please~" Wu Qian smiled and picked up the tea bowl to signal.
