Chapter 173 Bet

July 15, Zhongyuan Festival.

When she got up early in the morning, Lin Huazhi changed into plain clothes and called Xing'er to carry a long table and put it in the west corner of the courtyard well. She was afraid of rain. She deliberately set up a awning, and then placed various objects such as copper stoves, fruit plates and fragrant tripods on the temporary altar, and then found a tuanpu to put them in front of her, straighten her dress, washed her hands, and then from Lin's house. Li invited the pre-customized ancestral cards one by one.

Before going to Beijing, Lin Shi specially told Lin Huazhi, saying that Lin Yuyang's big exam this year, he should worship his ancestors and ask for the blessing of the Lin family. Lin Huazhi could not resist the Lin family, so he had to agree one by one.

Today is the Zhongyuan Festival, that is, the Ghost Festival. Lin Huazhi set up a pot early in the morning. After worshipping her ancestors, she burned the paper money ingots and clothes with newly sun-dried charcoal, and burned the route to the ghosts. Please do something convenient and bring things to the ancestors of the Lin family.

When everything was over, Lin Huazhi turned to Xing'er and said, "Open the door."

Qingling and Chunbai waited outside the courtyard early in the morning. When Xing'er went to open the door, Lin Huazhi put away the ancestral tablet of the Lin family one by one, put the ancestral tablet of the Qingling family on the altar, and then walked aside.

Qingling went to worship and kowtowed. Chunbai could only retreat aside because he was not from the Qingling family.

In the air, Lin Huazhi asked Chunbai in a low voice, "How's it going?"

Chunbai smiled and said, "I used some money. I heard the news that the Chen clan decided to publicly sell the dyeing workshop at the end of the month. Of course, many people are not clear about this matter at present. I heard that Chen's side also contacted several capable rich owners from other places earlier, and the Chen's side is still unwilling to let go so easily."

After hearing the news, Lin Huazhi couldn't help frowning: "Chen Zong is in a mess now. Even if he doesn't want to let go of Jiangdong City's business, I'm afraid he won't have the ability to concentrate on the business. If he blindly supports it, I'm afraid he won't even be able to sell it at a good price in the end. Chen's side of the dyeing workshop is sure to sell it. I'm just wondering why it is delayed until the end of the month? Didn't you say a few days ago that it would be after the Chinese New Year's Day?

Chunbai said, "At the end of the month, Lord Cui went to Jiangdong City, and Chen also heard that the Cui family was interested, so Chen wanted to take the opportunity to make a big profit."

Lin Huazhi snorted coldly: "I have picked up such a big bargain. I got half of Chen Suyue's property for nothing and wanted to make money. The Chen clan has lost all the money."

Chunbai smiled and said, "It seems that you don't like Chen's people very much. However, the public selling price is better than secretly trading. Mao Dazui has been sending people to have contact with the Chen family these days. If it hadn't been for Yu Wei, the patriarch of Jinzhong Mansion, I'm afraid the dyeing workshop would have changed its name to Mao long ago.

Hearing Mao's big mouth intervene, Lin Huazhi was even more unhappy and meditated for a moment. She asked Chunbai, "How much silver can we use now?"

"Just over 500,000, if you fight hard with Mao Dazuo, I'm afraid you have no chance of winning." Chunbai's worries are not unreasonable. Compared with Mao Dazui, Lin Huazhi is not at the same level in terms of property or strength.

Lin Huazhi naturally knew this reason. After thinking about it, she asked again, "The day before yesterday, Mao's big mouth went to 'Qingyuan' again. Is it possible that he fell in love with you?"

Hearing this, Chunbai immediately pled at Lin Huazhi and said, "What did you say? Can I like the old man with a big mouth? The five and three are thick, ugly, and they are not well-educated. As soon as they speak out, they are rude and can't stand it.

Lin Huazhi gave her a white look: "Thousands of men in the world are not as good as Qingling anyway."

Chunbai raised his eyebrows proudly: "That's right, in my eyes, Qingling is the best."

Lin Huazhi's teeth were sore when she heard this. Not continuing to make fun of Chunbai, Lin Huazhi suddenly asked Chunbai, "Think of a way to hold Mao's big mouth before the Chen family sells the dyeing workshop."

Chunbai spread his hands: "You are very difficult. Mao Dazui not only eats both black and white in Jiangdong Prefecture, but also a resounding figure on the ground of the nearby state capital. I can't stand it."

At this time, Qingling came over with his hands and just listened to the last sentence. After slightly pondering, Qingling said, "At present, Mao Dazui still doesn't know that we also intend to coil down the dyeing workshop. The so-called enemy is bright. I must think of a way to hold Mao Dazui and kill him off guard."

Lin Huazhi looked at Qingling: "Oh, does that mean you have a good idea?"

Qing Ling sighed: "I'm just proposing. I'm only good at matching dyes. I'm not good at other things." After saying that, Qingling stared straight at Lin Huazhi.

Lin Huazhi was stunned and saw Chunbai's same expression. She asked puzzledly, "Why do you two look at me like this?"

Chunbai squeezed his lips and smiled secretly: "What can you do? Let you make an idea."

Lin Huazhi black line: "These are the things I'm best at? Intrigue and fight, make a trick?"

Chunbai laughed, took her hand, and laughed, "I'll listen to it as a joke. All right, come up and find a way."

Lin Huazhi couldn't help sighing. There was no good way.

In terms of money, the money she can use now is just a big mouth. In terms of strength, how can a thin woman fight against the big mouth of the underworld giant?

Ah, what should I do?

Seeing that Lin Huazhi has not spoken for a long time and looks sad, Qingling and Chunbai both know that this is not an easy thing. If it is easy to do, they don't have to be so distressed.

Lin Huazhi hated it at this time. First, she hated Yan Shaobai and gave up half of Chen Suyue's property; second, she hated the Chen clan, which took so much time to get the dyeing workshop, and it didn't take long to discard it, which was really annoying. Third, she hated Mao's big mouth and black-hearted wolf.

Qing Ling pecked and whispered, "If it really doesn't work, forget it. I have begun to start mixing new dyes. No surprise, they can be made in ten days, and the cloth will be woven. We have other ways to go. In a word, our current strength is too weak.

Yes, everything Qingling said is true, but Lin Huazhi doesn't want to do this. Among other things, the dyeing workshop separated by Yan Shaobai is hers. It is what she has worked hard for. Why should she be cheap and cheap? In addition, if Mao's big mouth really got the dyeing workshop in the hands of the Chen clan, then her good days will also come to an end.

Mao Dazui already knows that she is uneasy, and it will be a matter of time before she is dealt with. Before that, she must have something that can protect herself. There are many things she wants to protect, and she will never allow others to destroy them easily.

Taking a long breath, Lin Huazhi said in a low voice, "There is no way, but it's a little risky. Once it succeeds, Mao's big mouth will also be greatly damaged. If you don't succeed, Qingling can follow Chunbai to Beijing. You can't go back to Jiangdong City in your life."

Qingling and Chunbai were shocked and asked, "What's your good idea?"

After a long silence, Lin Huazhi said word by word: "Fujiang Spring Flower Picture."

That rumor three years ago was right, and "Fujiang Spring Flower Picture" is indeed in Chen Suyue's hands. Three years ago, Chen Suyue spent 880,000 taels of silver to buy the "Fujiang Spring Flower Picture" from the hairy-billed concubine, and then it has been carefully collected by Chen Suyue as the most valuable treasure. Why did the hairy-mouthed concubine steal the picture and then sell it to Chen Suyue? The story is not shown for the time being. The key is that the hairy mouth lost the picture. Three million taels of silver were lost, which made many people laugh behind their backs.

Lin Huazhi's "good idea" is very simple. She wants to sell "Fujiang Spring Flower Picture" again. She wants to bet that Mao Big Mouth doesn't care about his face. If Mao Big Mouth cares, then he must do the same as three years ago. If Mao Big Mouth doesn't care, she doesn't want to get involved in "Fujiang Spring Flower Picture" at all. Then Mao Dazui can also know Lin Huazhi's bottom card through this matter, which is why she said good life is over.

Although Mao Dazui has not come to trouble her recently, it does not mean that Mao Dazui thinks that Lin Huazhi is really afraid and dares not fight against the Mao family. In fact, Mao Dazui was moreware of her. Lin Huazhi went out now and found someone staring at her behind her several times, from secret surveillance to public surveillance. What does this mean? It shows that Mao Dazui has lost his patience and is only waiting for a proper opportunity.

So, Lin Huazhi is gambling.

If you win the bet, Mao Dazui will not only spend a lot of money to buy Fujiang Spring Flower Picture, but also reduce his guard against Lin Huazhi, which is beneficial for Lin Huazhi to finally buy the dyeing workshop.

On the contrary, Lin Huazhi is unwilling to expect anything.

Simply put out her thoughts, and Qingling and Chunbai were speechless. For a long time, Chunbai asked uneasily, "Lin Huazhi, how do you know where Fujiang Spring Flower Picture is? No..."

Looking at Chunbai's look, Lin Huazhi knew what Chunbai wanted to ask. Lin Huazhi shook her head with a smile: "If I had "Fujiang Chunhua Picture" in my hand, why would I have to work so hard? I just happened to know who had the painting. It happened that the man owed me a favor, and I could persuade him to take out the Picture of Spring Flowers of Fujiang. The question is, how to let Mao Dazui know that "Fujiang Spring Flower Picture" will be re-released? How can you attract a big mouth to take action? How to make Mao Dazui make determined to find this face that has been lost for three years? As long as Mao's big mouth takes action, a pair of "Fujiang Chunhua Picture" can exhaust more than half of his silver, and then we will have the opportunity to dish out the dyeing workshop in the hands of the Chen clan. After saying that, she looked up at Qingling and Chunbai, self-evidently that if she wanted to do it, she had to make up her mind at this time.

Chunbai was not in a hurry to speak. She pouted and thought about it for a long time. She whispered, "I not only want to attract attention to the Picture of Spring Flowers of Fujiang and let him know that there is nothing to do with us. I have an idea. Although I don't know many people in Jiangdongfu, I can also talk about several gangsters. This Don't worry about it. I'll take care of it. Last time he spent three million taels on his hairy mouth. This time I'm going to make him bleed, at least twice the price.

When Lin Huazhi heard Chunbai's words, she couldn't help but look up and squeezed her eyes at Qingling. Good boy, Chunbai meant to cheat Mao's mouth of six million taels of silver. It seems that Chunbai is very vengeful for Mao Dazui sent someone to hurt Qingling.

Qing Ling stared at Lin Huazhi, but turned his head and couldn't help nodding at Chunbai. Obviously, he agreed with Chunbai's words.

Taking a breath, Lin Huazhi was not only a little funny, but also tried her best to get her things back. It's really a joke to say this. But what can I do? Hers is hers. Anyway, you can't take advantage of others.

After careful discussion with Chunbai, the three decided on a feasible way. Naturally, all this was left to Chunbai. According to Chunbai, Lin Huazhi and Qingling could not appear.

Qingling thought for a moment and smiled and said, "I don't have the ability of Chunbai, but I also have a way to let Mao's big mouth not flow silver in his hand for a moment."

Chunbai and Lin Huazhi asked in unison, "What's the method?"

Qing Ling pretended to be mysterious and laughed, "Don't say it, don't say it."

Lin Huazhi rolled her eyes, Qingling, despise you.

......

Qingling and Chunbai had breakfast, and Lin Huazhi sent Xing'er to send them out. Then she went back to the room and found something from the bottom of the wardrobe.

Open the wrapping cloth above, which are two cards. One of the names above is Chen Suyue, and the other is Lin Huazhi.

She put the two cards on the altar and lit three fragrant candles. Lin Huazhi looked a little lonely, but she didn't know what she could say. I feel that there are too many words choking in my throat, but I can't say it.

In the end, Lin Huazhi just whispered, "I will live and live well." For me and for you."

......

In the afternoon, Zhang Ziqing changed his black robe to find Lin Huazhi and took Lin Huazhi's hand. Zhang Ziqing smiled and said, "Huazhi, Huazhi, today is the Midyuan Festival. Shall we go to the riverside to set off lanterns in the evening?"

Lin Huazhi saw that Zhang Ziqing was rarely happy, so she responded to him.

At this time, Xing'er came in and held a big lantern in her hand. Lin Huazhi looked carefully. It was a glass colorful lotus lantern. Lin Huazhi was shocked and hurriedly asked Xinger, "Where did this lantern come from?"

Xing'er looked at Zhang Ziqing carefully and whispered, "It was sent by Mr. Yan."

Hmm???
