The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince
Chapter 33 Your name is very good
"Old Eight, are you planning to go gambling?" Chu Chengxiong looked at Jiang Fan hesitantly.
Jiang Fan looked at Chu Chengxiong and said with a smile: "I heard that the boss behind this gambling house is the Minister of Revenue Huang Zhenren!"
His irrelevant answer stunned the two brothers! What does your coming to the gambling house have to do with the boss behind the house? ?
However, the two brothers nodded, and Chu Chengrui said, "Indeed, many high-ranking officials in the court have businesses outside. The Minister of Revenue Huang Luren manages nearly 40% of the gambling houses in the capital, and the remaining 60% is divided among other powerful people."
Gambling houses were a place where money was wasted, and they were the fat meat in the eyes of the rich and powerful. However, because the Minister of Revenue was a first-rank official, he took the lion's share, and the remaining 60% was divided among other rich and powerful people.
This kind of thing is not a big secret in the capital, or even in the court, it can only be regarded as an unspoken rule. The result after everyone divides the spoils.
"Doesn't Huang Siwen want to open the odds today? Why don't we go and show our support!" Jiang Fan looked at the gambling house with a smile on his face, a hint of amusement on his lips.
He usually doesn't wait until tomorrow to take revenge. Since Huang Siwen has provoked him, he can't just play tricks on him once.
Besides, Shangshu Huang is a supporter of his good elder brother. If Jiang Fan doesn't deal with him, he would feel sorry for the persecution of him by his elder brother.
The two brothers' eyes widened instantly when they heard this. This guy was obviously trying to take revenge on Huang Siwen for blocking his way today.
Excitement suddenly welled up on the faces of the two brothers. They had always been used to following the rules, and Jiang Fan's proposal made the two brothers feel like they had broken free from shackles.
However, the two brothers quickly suppressed their excitement and shook their heads at Jiang Fan.
"This... let's just forget it! Once you go in, how are you going to gamble?" Chu Chengrui said to Jiang Fan.
The Huang family opened the odds, but no matter who Jiang Fan bets on, it would be disadvantageous to Jiang Fan. Let's say Chu Yan'er wins first. Even if Jiang Fan wins the money, he will lose the marriage.
If I bet on myself to win, can Jiang Fan win with these people he chose? I guess I will lose everything.
The two brothers actually didn't think highly of Jiang Fan, but they were too embarrassed to say it out loud.
"How do you bet? Of course you bet that I win... What? Are you afraid of losing?" Jiang Fan smiled at the two brothers.
He was very confident in himself. With the Mandarin Duck Formation in place, it was useless even if Chu Yan'er played around with all kinds of strategies and tactics against five hundred people.
Unless it is a large-scale war involving thousands or even tens of thousands of people, strategy and tactics will play a crucial role.
When five hundred people fight, the Mandarin Duck Formation can almost sweep them all away.
"This..." Brothers Chu Chengxiong and Chu Chengrui looked at each other and hesitated.
Just as the two brothers were hesitating, a sarcastic voice came from behind them.
"Oh, I was wondering who it was? It turned out to be our Eighth Prince. What? Is he planning to come to my gambling house to play? We just opened a handicap, and the Eighth Prince is interested? How about making a bet!"
Following the sound, they saw a young man holding a folding fan and looking at Jiang Fan and the other two with a mocking expression.
Seeing him, the Chu brothers frowned and their eyes turned cold instantly.
The person who came was none other than the eldest son of the Minister of Revenue Huang Luren, Huang Siwen's elder brother, Huang Yi Guan. This guy was even more of a villain than his younger brother Huang Siwen.
He was in charge of the Huang family's gambling house, which included eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.
Jiang Fan looked at the other person with a playful smile on his lips. He was really speechless about the Minister of Revenue's taste in naming.
However, it is no wonder that this Minister Huang has some idioms that do not exist in this world, such as "gentlemanly scum" and "beast in human clothing"!
The two words "ciwen" and "yiguan", if not added with the following two words, are in themselves words that show one's status.
"Sven" represents character, and "clothing" represents status. The meaning is good, and it refers to etiquette and civility.
In ancient times, "clothing and hat" was a synonym for scholar-officials. Only scholar-officials could wear clothing and hats, and what they wore was worthy of being called clothing and hats.
Therefore, it is not surprising at all that Shangshu Huang would give his son these two names if those two idioms did not exist.
Jiang Fan looked at Huang Yi Guan, smiled and said, "It's a bet, that's for sure, but have you ever thought about the name your father gave you, it's really good."
As soon as Jiang Fan said this, the Chu brothers were stunned for a moment, but soon they thought of something and looked at Jiang Fan expectantly, their eyes full of excitement.
The incident of Jiang Fan interpreting Huang Siwen's name in the morning was still fresh in our minds. Huang Siwen was nailed to the rack of shame by Jiang Fan's words "a scum of the gentleman".
The meaning of this word is simple and clear. He appears to be a gentleman on the surface, but is actually a scum inside. Doesn't this fit scum like Huang Siwen very well?
They just didn't know how to interpret the name Jiang Fan gave to this man in yellow!
Upon hearing this, the man in yellow clothes on the opposite side suddenly felt a shock in his heart, and a bad premonition welled up in his mind. He remembered clearly how his younger brother was tricked by Jiang Fan and now became a laughing stock in the whole capital.
As soon as Jiang Fan said this, he knew he was in trouble. He suddenly felt regretful. If he had known that this guy was so difficult to deal with, why would he have provoked him?
"Don't... The name my father gave me is of course good, so there's no need to worry about it, Eighth Prince." He interrupted Jiang Fan hastily, fearing that Jiang Fan would say something bad.
The people around him immediately had gossip on their faces, and they all looked at Jiang Fan expectantly. These people just wanted to watch the fun and enjoy the fun.
However, Jiang Fan never thought of letting the other party go. This guy was sarcastic from the beginning, and he was from the Minister of Revenue's family. Since he had offended him, he might as well offend him to death.
"It's not a big deal. Speaking of which, what Mr. Huang did is really like giving birth to a child without an anus. Your gambling house has caused so many people to sell their children and lose their fortunes."
Jiang Fan looked at Huang Yi Guan with a smile, and explained the nature of the gambling house in one sentence.
At this point, his voice changed:
"However, with the name of Mr. Huang, it's not surprising. After all, the name your father gave you means a beast in human clothing!"
As soon as Jiang Fan said this, the people around him carefully chewed over the meaning of this sentence.
Under the seemingly glamorous clothes, there is actually a person doing beastly things. Isn't he a beast in human clothing! ?
"Haha... a beast in human clothing, this interpretation is good... it is so apt!" Chu Chengrui laughed and looked at Huang Yi Guan with a playful expression.
"Old Eight, you are so talented!" Chu Chengxiong laughed so hard that he almost fainted on the spot.
The man in yellow clothes on the opposite side was so angry that his face turned green when he heard this. His brother's name was misinterpreted by Jiang Fan, and his brother became a laughing stock of others.
He didn't expect that even after coming to Jiang Fan, he still couldn't escape being cheated. His name was also stinking, and he knew that it wouldn't be long before everyone would know that his name could be interpreted as a beast in human clothing.
When I was walking on the street, someone would come up to me and say, "Brother, do you know that your name is very good?"
What a beast in clothes!
Thinking of this, Huang Yiguan wanted to vomit blood. I'll beat you up someday. He wished he could tear Jiang Fan into pieces.
He pointed at Jiang Fan and said only one word.
"you you……"
He was also filled with anger and speechlessness in his heart. Jiang Fan, you damn it, can you please stop taking advantage of my Huang family?
