Chapter 389: Cockfighting
Fortunately, Yinzhen and Wen Yao found the hunter this time. The old doctor has already come to see him and he will be fine after resting for two months!
The little fat boy lay in Yin'er's arms and cried for a long time. When Yin'er and Wen Yao saw that the hunter was fine, they were about to leave.
Many people from Dashi Village came to see them off. The weather was not too cold at that time, and many hunters had come from the fields, so they had some free time.
"Everyone, let's go back. Little Fatty, take good care of your father," Wen Yao said as she mounted her horse.
"Brother Tang and Sister Tang, goodbye! Come and visit us often and I'll give you meat!" the little fat boy shouted.
Yinzhen and Wenyao went far away along the mountain road. Yinzhen had a rough map drawn by the village chief in his hand. "Yaoyao, we will pass by Wujia Village, but the sun is not very hot now. Why don't we just ride to Dishui Town without stopping? Then we can play in the town for two days?"
She and Tangtang didn't have any prior plans, they just went wherever they went. Wen Yao really liked traveling like this, but the prerequisite for such a trip was to have enough money, and both Wen Yao and Yinzhen had no shortage of money!
"Sure, how about we compete to see who arrives first?" Wen Yao was a little excited for a moment, her horse riding skills are very good now!
Yinzhen laughed out loud. How could such a half-baked person participate in the competition?
"Okay! Let's go!" Yinzhen responded without hesitation after expressing his disdain. The guards behind him saw that his Ninth Prince was controlling his speed to be only five or six meters faster than his wife!
Guard: ...I feel a little full after not eating!
Xiao Xia: Fu Jin’s skills are not as good as mine, luckily I am in control!
Wen Yao enjoyed riding, because this was the fastest speed she could control. If it went any faster, she would be scared. Wen Yao felt that her horse was very smart, as if it knew that if she went any faster, its owner would be scared, so it kept a steady speed.
Yinzhen did not tell Wen Yao that he had spent a long time choosing the horse for her. The horse should not be too fast or too slow, and should have a gentle temperament. It should also be very alert to danger and be able to increase its speed when encountering danger!
When they were approaching Dishui Town, they agreed to reach the tree in the distance. When they were about to reach the tree, Wen Yao screamed, and Yinzhen naturally looked back. With a smile in his eyes, Yinzhen watched Wen Yao quickly overtake him.
"To be shady?"
"A soldier never tires of deceit!"
The guards following closely behind him had no expression on their faces, but their eyes were full of embarrassment. This was not insidious nor was it a case of deception, this was just a weird embarrassment because they had nothing better to do!
Xiao Xia has gotten used to it!
Wen Yao smiled as she looked at Yinzhen, "Thank you, Tangtang. The horse you chose for me suits me best. It doesn't run too fast or too slow, and it has a gentle temperament."
Of course she knows it all. Doesn't she know who dotes on her?
Yinzhen felt relaxed all over and pampered her. She also cooperated with him and did not spoil his fun at all. In fact, he also enjoyed the ride all the way here. "It says over there that you cannot enter on horseback." He handed the reins to the guard and Wen Yao's to Xiaoxia. Yinzhen held Wen Yao's hand and walked into Dishui Town.
As soon as I entered Dishui Town, I saw a scene that is often played out in TV dramas, "Tangtang, here it comes! Classic plot, selling oneself to bury one's father! Look, look!"
"In this case, it's not that we really can't bury our relatives, but we need to find a way out for ourselves," Yinzhen said after taking a glance.
Even if there is no more money, you can still get some by pawning things at home, and hiring one or two people to dig a hole will be enough for a few coins. However, if there are no other relatives at home, or if the other relatives are not very good, a weak woman who wants to find a way out has no choice but to resort to this last resort.
There are also many people who want to gain power and wealth. In short, they all have certain purposes!
Yinzhen knew at a glance, "That woman is not an ordinary woman. She has fair skin. You can tell from the back of her hand that she is not really a poor girl. We have seen along the way that poor women have rough skin even if they are fair-skinned. You can see it at a glance!"
Wen Yao looked over carefully, then looked at Yinzhen who was looking away without any interest, especially at the place selling fighting cocks not far away, "..." Very good!
None of them are as exciting as cockfighting!
[Tangtang, you guessed right, but this woman seems to have an aunt in town, but she didn't want to go directly to her house, so she used this method. Someone has already sent a letter to her aunt. Her aunt's eldest son is passing by and will see it soon! ] Wen Yao was very interested.
Wen Yao pulled Yinzhen to the opposite side of the place where she sold herself to bury her father, "Do you want to buy one? This fighting cock looks very energetic."
Yinzhen was eager to try, "How about giving it a try? Let's fight!"
"Okay," Wen Yao agreed decisively.
The two of them came to the stall, and Yinzhen looked around, "I want this one! Yaoyao, which one do you want?" Then he looked at the seller in front of the stall, "How much? Is the fighting cock position over there also yours?"
"It's mine, this shop belongs to me, and the mayor recognizes it. We don't gamble big money, a hundred coins at most. The cockfighting in front of the shop is for the loser to fight again, and the real cockfighting arena is inside the shop. Do you want to buy two, sir and madam?" The seller was a strong man with a beard standing on his left or right!
Then he added, "These fighting cocks are all eight taels of silver each. Our fighting cocks are the cheapest. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask. In addition, to enter the store for cockfighting, you need to pay a two-hundred-coin venue fee. The fee for gamblers is between ten and fifty coins. The loss and compensation are both within a hundred coins, which means the maximum win is twice the compensation. Each person can gamble once a day at most."
"I want two..." Before Yinzhen could finish, Wen Yao interrupted him, "Two for fifteen taels! How about we both buy two?"
Yinzhen looked at Wenyao, then at the seller. Bargaining? That's quite interesting!
"We are a small business. We are the cheapest. We won't make much money if you do this! How about this, Madam, if you want two, we will give you a discount of 100 coins. We really can't go any lower!"
"Then let's both take a step back and offer fifteen taels and five hundred wen!" Yinzhen also became interested and bargained.
Wen Yao felt that she would not lower the price, and Yinzhen would be even less likely to do so. Well, she would not be able to get fifteen taels and five hundred wen!
"How about this, 15 taels, 800 wen, and you let me not lose money, and we can just be friends!" The seller said with a painful look on his face, "We are the most straightforward here, and we won't waste time, okay?"
"Okay! I'm always quick to waste, so I'll just pay 15 taels and 800 coins!" Yinzhen felt quite surprised and turned to look at Wen Yao, "It saves 200 coins!"
"Great!" Wen Yao praised with a smile, "Add the venue fee of 400 wen, that's 16 taels and 200 wen."
The two men each chose a fighting cock and walked in. The seller looked at the two people who were accompanied by their maids and guards and shook his head. What's wrong with these rich people!
He is so stingy even though he is so rich. However, it seems that he really likes bargaining!
