My Loyal and Lovely Husband

Chapter 81: 300 Taels of Silver



300 tales of silver is enough to support someone to live a luxurious life in this county for several months! This news surprises the people around. A greedy look emerges on the face of the fat guy. He looks at Jin Weiwei who frowns a little, which makes him think that Jin Weiwei is going to regret for that bet. Then, he points to the waiter and shouts, “That’s the deal! You bastard serve the wine quickly!” Orders that fat guy. Being named “bastard”, the waiter feels angry about that. However, he stands that and replies, “Wait a minute.” After the waiter leaves, Jin Weiwei takes a look at that robust servant and asks, “Who is your boss? Why he takes part in that bet? Isn’t he afraid of my losing the bet and money?”

That servant-like man smiles and says, “Don’t worry, Miss. Even if you lose, my boss will not bother about these 300 taels of silver. My boss has nothing but money.” Hearing that, the people around there are all stunned about those wealthy people. Little Rich stands aloof, whose cold face makes that servant feel chilled. The atmosphere in the room becomes odd.

Jin Weiwei senses the strangeness. Thus, she scratches the hands of Little Rich and whispers: “Don’t worry. That gentleman will not play tricks on us under the spotlight. I’ll be OK.” Giving a cold hum, Little Rich swifts his eyesight. That servant swallows and holds back the desire of wiping the sweat. However, the fear still haunts him. The servant thinks, “Who is that guy. His will is so strong that his eyesight makes me feel stressed”

That gentleman behind the curtain waves his fan as usual with his eyes staring at Little Rich. It seems that he is in deep thinking. He thinks, “The man near the young lady is not simple! When does that man arrive at Linshui County?” With the approval of the boss, the waiter serves the wine at ease. It is said that if the sky is falling down, there are still tall people to support it. Soon, the wine is served. Also, there are paper and pen and all the 24 kettles of good wine on the dark-red plate. At the first, people find that the kettle is made of jade, shining, which indicates that the wine is definitely of high quality. When the waiter approaches them, the fragrance of the good wine lingers in the room, intoxicating the people there.

“That smells good!” “The wine must have been stored for at least ten years, because it smells so good before we actually drink it.” Say some excellent wine drinkers, which receives the approval of many people. “Who will be the first?” Says the waiter, inviting them to start the battle. The one who becomes the first to battle has some advantages in this game. Thus, the fat guy shouts, “I am the first.” Without thinking much, he pours himself a fresh drink. He sips some wine from a wine glass, then stands for a moment, savoring it. Then he says, “This is Zhuang Yuan Hong, which has already been stored for 10 years, and fermented for 10 years, and 20 years in total.” Then he looks at the waiter, waiting for him to reveal the correct answer. Unexpectedly, the waiter keeps in silence. The fat guy feels embarrassed and writes down his answer.

With a slight smile, Jin Weiwei holds the wine glass and is about to sip the wine. Suddenly, a hand stops her. It turns out it is Little Rich. “You don’t drink.” Says Little Rich with his worrying eyes. Jin Weiwei feels sweet in her heart for his consideration. She holds his arm, pressing it down. She smiles and says, “Who told you that I don’t drink? I tell you a secret that I am a good drinker!” Looking at the confident smile of Jin Weiwei, Little Rich agrees. When the wine flows down her throat, she feels an indescribable fragrance lingering in her mouth, and then the spicy taste of the wine stimulates her tongue. Jin Weiwei thinks, “Yes. That is Zhuang Yuan Hong. That fat guy was right.” However, after a little while, Jin Weiwei swallows that wine. At that moment, her eyes open wide because she feels something strange in that wine!

While thinking, she has already drunk another glass of wine. Thinking for a while, she smiles largely and says, “Yes! I get the answer! The bartender of this restaurant is so cunning that I am almost cheated by him!” Then Jin Weiwei writes down her answers on the paper and hands it to the waiter. The fat guy feels uneasy and he can’t help peering at the answer of Jin Weiwei. Tao Xiaoqing rushes over to him and stops him. He says, “What are you doing? Do you want to steal a look at the answer of my boss?” That fat guy glares at him. “Don’t cheat before us!” Jin Weiwei grabs Tao Xiaoqing, laughing.

Somehow, Jin Weiwei’s smile makes the gentleman in white gown behind the curtain feels so itchy in his heart that he even wants to pinch the face of this lovely girl. At that moment, the waiter has already collected the answer sheet of both Jin Weiwei and that fat guy. Then the waiter announces, “The second round starts!” The second round, the third round, and the twelfth round in total! Drinking so much wine in such a short period of time has already made the tongue of the fat guy insensitive. He almost gives up. However, Jin Weiwei still looks calm at ease.

“Hum! That little girl must pretend to be calm! He wants to make fool of the public. When the answer is revealed, she must be the loser. Then, I will get the 300 taels of silver! At that time, I must tease this foolish young girl! I must be the winner!” Thinking that, the fat guy convinces himself to drink the last glass of wine. He gulps down the wine and then his face reddens, while a reddish blush emerging on her cheeks makes Jin Weiwei even more cute and beautiful.

Both of them write down the last answer, and the waiter collects their answers and says, “Since this is the last round of the battle, you wait for a while. I will hand your answers to the gentleman on the second floor of our private room and he will make a judgement.” The fat guy and Jin Weiwei agree because they think that since this gentleman could be the banker of this battle, he must know the answer. Now he just wants to know who is the winner. Then, the waiter climbs up to the second floor.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

With the red face, the fat guy folds his hands across his chest, wearing a proud expression. She says, “You bastard! I tell you that I must be the winner!” However, Jin Weiwei smiles, “Don’t bet on it!” Jin Weiwei wipes her mouth slightly and says slowly, “Don’t you know the old saying which goes ‘laugh before breakfast, you’ll cry before supper’? Do you see that your ophryon appears red? You must have trouble soon!” Hearing that, the people find that the ophryon of that fat guy appears red actually and his face is as red as the bottom of a monkey! That’s funny!” “Hahahaha! You are right!” “I can’t resist. Hahahahaha. I am a serious man. But I can’t stand anymore…” There’s another man waving his hand and laughing, “You are so talented Miss. I’m convinced!” Hearing the laughter of the people there and seeing their expressions, that fat guy gets irritated and he raises his meaty hands to beat those people who are laughing at him.
