Cai Chengchuan has been a little flustered recently, because not only is his money so tight that he can't even take out a hundred taels of silver, but he also owes hundreds of thousands of taels to the gambling house!

Obviously, he was as lucky as the God of Wealth to protect himself, but who knew that in the past half a month, he would lose all his blood and lose all his money, not to mention, and he still owed so much silver! The gambling house has spoken, if he can't pay off the gambling account within three days, he will have to take the IOU to Chengyibo's Mansion to block the door to collect debts!

If it is a few hundred or one or two thousand taels of silver, Cai Chengchuan will find the fifth wife to grind it, and then go to the old Chen family to cry and cry poor, and he can still get it, but this time the amount is so large that I am afraid that the entire Chengyi Bofu will not be able to make it up!

On this day, Cai Chengchuan came back from the palace construction site, and did not dare to go to the gambling house but went into the Tingfeng Teahouse.

Sitting in the private room of the teahouse, Cai Chengchuan pondered and pondered where to get the money, tomorrow is the deadline given by the gambling house! If he really makes trouble at the door of the uncle's mansion, even if he is protected by the old lady, the uncle will be able to kick him out of the house!

"Alas. After taking a sip of tea, Cai Chengchuan sighed as he tasted the bitterness in his mouth.

"Brother Wenhong, why are you so late, I have a pot of tea in my stomach. A man's voice came from the loose table outside.

"Ah, I've kept Brother Liu waiting, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. The man named Wenhong said apologetically, "On the way here, I was hardpulled by the owner of Lu Lusheng's pawnshop to check the goods." ”

Then there was the sound of tables and chairs, and the sound of Xiao Er filling tea.

"What treasure did Brother Wen Hong learn this time?" Brother Liu asked curiously, "I don't know how much it is worth?"

"Ouch, the treasure I saw this time is not simple, at least this number. Wen Hong said in a low voice.

"Eight hundred taels?" Brother Liu looked at Wen Hong's fingers and guessed the number.

Cai Chengchuan in the private room was very annoyed that the two people outside were talking a little loudly, and he was about to call the store to come over and talk, but when he heard them say "baby" and money, he immediately dispelled this idea. He glanced at his little servant, and he came to the side of the screen and listened to the movement outside.

"Eight thousand taels?" Brother Liu guessed again, "Isn't it yet?"

"Shhhhhhh ”

Cai Chengchuan in the private room had already heard it, and he was so excited that he stood up and stood next to the screen.

There was silence outside for a while, and Brother Liu couldn't wait to whisper: "Tell me quickly, what treasure is worth 80,000 taels? If there is such a thing, we will also find it and sell it!"

"That treasure is hard to find. Wen Hong said with a smile, "That's something in the palace, do you dare to enter the palace to steal and rob it?" ”

Brother Liu, "The things in the palace are not worth 80,000 taels, is it? Could it be the Zijin Pill made by the Tai Hospital?"

Wen Hong, "Zijin Pill only makes a few pills a year, and I'm afraid it's hard to buy one for a thousand gold! There are a lot of valuable things in the palace, it's just that you haven't seen or heard of it." What I am looking at today is a pair of white porcelain vases from the Zhou kiln that were tributed, which was praised by the first emperor when he was alive, and it took two years of burning in the kiln to produce such a pair of fine porcelain vases! ”

"It's just a pair of porcelain vases, it's worth so much money!" Brother Liu exclaimed, but he was deeply puzzled, "Since it is a fine product of the best of the best to pay tribute to the palace, how can it be left outside for people to be?"

"Hehe, there is no loser in any house these days!" Wen Hong said with a smile, "That porcelain vase should have been rewarded by the first emperor to a courtier, but it was stolen by the descendants of the unscrupulous and used as six hundred taels." ”

"Six hundred taels?" Brother Liu was startled again and shouted, "Didn't the shopkeeper of Lu Sheng make a fortune!"

Wen Hong sighed and drank two sips of tea to moisten his throat, "It's also a shame that Lu Lusheng's shopkeeper has a way to sell it to those yellow-haired foreign businessmen." Otherwise, the pair of porcelain vases will be worthless if they fall into the hands of others, because no one dares to buy them!"

The two of them chatted about something else, and then checked out and went downstairs to leave.

Cai Chengchuan in the private room was enthusiastic when he heard this, and secretly said in his heart: God help me, I am saved!

There are also a lot of royal rewards in Chengyibo's mansion, if he gets a few and sells them...... Even if you can't get together more than 100,000 yuan, it's good to pay back tens of thousands of dollars in the gambling house first!

Thinking of this, Cai Chengchuan immediately took the little servant back to Chengyibo's Mansion.

Old Chen's chest hurts in the past two days, but he has no way to take Xie Fuya, who is already the county lord of Jingyi!

The person is the county lord, and he wants to refuse Su Weirou to ride in the same carriage with him, and no one can do anything about Xie Fuya!

After Su Weirou cried to Lao Chen, she saw that there was no splash, and she knew that she was not Xie Fuya's opponent at all in terms of identity and status!

Su Weirou recognized the reality, she clenched her silver teeth and secretly decided to marry a husband with a high status, when the time comes, she doesn't need to be noble, and her wife can be on an equal footing with Xie Fuya with her husband, and even suppress this arrogant cousin-in-law!

Speaking of high-status men, Su Weirou thought of the shocking glance at the door of King Liang's mansion.

"Don't be angry about Wei Rou, old lady. Su Weirou pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief to persuade the old Chen to say.

Today, the old Chen family wanted to find fault with Xie Fuya, who knew that people didn't come to Yanshou at all, and only sent a girl to inform the second grandmother that she was sick, and she was afraid that she would pass the illness to the old lady, so she didn't come. If the old lady has any instructions, she will send a grandmother to Sheng Shiyuan to spread a word.

Old Chen also expected that Xie Fuya would prevaricate with illness, but he was not very angry. Hearing Su Weirou's aggrieved persuasion, she felt even more sorry for her granddaughter.

"Wei Rou, I have wronged you. Old Chen wiped the corners of his eyes and said with a sigh, "My grandmother is old, and now no one in this mansion takes me to heart or eyes except for your fifth uncle!"

"Don't be sad, old lady, in fact, Wei Rou is still very respectful to you when she looks at the eldest lady and the eldest cousin. Su Wei judo, "It's just the lady of the second room...... Of course, the closest to you are naturally the fifth uncle and the fifth aunt. ”

Su Weirou naturally doesn't really want to say good things for the big house, but she wants to marry a high-ranking family, and the best matchmaker is Mrs. Cheng Yibo! If the eldest lady comes forward to speak for her relatives, her identity will naturally go up, and others will look up to her. That's why she said things like this when the old lady complained.

Old Chen didn't think that the eldest lady and the eldest grandmother Wen were so respectful to her, but they were really much better than the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the second room.

Su Weirou saw that Lao Chen's face softened, so she took the fan in the hand of the maid Feng Hong and gently fanned it for Lao Chen.

"Old lady, I heard that Duchess Lu Guo is the princess of Nanshuo, she is very beautiful, and she is a fairy-like person. "Su Wei judo.

Old Chen leaned on the pillow of the soft couch and closed his eyes to recuperate, and when he heard his granddaughter mention the Duchess of Lu Guo, the old woman pouted, "Hmph, what kind of beauty is like a fairy, but she is just a good-looking tribute girl! How good looks? What about being a princess of a small country? When you reach our Great Wei, you are nothing! Not that she has been rewarded by the Holy Lord to her courtiers." ”

Su Weirou didn't think so!

When the Duchess of the country is the wife, the concubine of the emperor is a concubine!

Old Chen was silent for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes and raised his eyebrows to look at Su Weirou and asked, "Why did you suddenly mention the Duchess of Lu Guo? Could it be that she also went to the banquet of the Liang Palace?"

"The Duchess of Lu Guo did not go that day. Su Weirou lowered her head and said shyly, "Yes...... When he left the Liang Palace, it happened that the prince of Lu Guo and the fourth prince of the Liang Mansion were standing at the door, so they took a look. ”

"What?" Old Chen sat up and glared at Su Weirou with cold eyes, "How can you meet the prince of Lu Guo and the fourth prince of Liang Wangfu?

Su Weirou was taken aback by Old Chen's reaction!

"Old lady, I didn't ......"

Old Chen pushed away Su Weirou's hand holding the fan, and said with burning eyes: "Weirou, grandmother can tell you, if you want to find a good mother-in-law in Beijing, you have to behave, don't do anything that shouldn't be careful, do something that can't be disgraced!"

"Old lady, you misunderstood, Wei Rou really didn't ......" Su Weirou was about to shed tears when she was warned by Old Chen.

"Do you know how your mother married your father in the first place?" asked Old Chen in a cold voice.

Su Weirou was stunned and shook her head with tears.

When Lao Chen thought of his little daughter's murder and marriage to a useless man, she felt a twitch in her heart! At that time, she was optimistic about the second son of a certain Hou Mansion for her daughter, but it turned out to be a complete mess!

"Alright, go back to your yard. Old Chen said to Su Wei, "In the future, when you go out with your aunt and sister-in-law, see how the eldest girl Yuzhen talks and acts, and learn more about what other young ladies are, don't deviate from the one who can't be on the stage in the second room!"

"Yes, Viroe knows. Su Weirou sobbed and got up in response, "That Weirou has retired." ”

Old Chen was displeased, and he ignored his granddaughter's crying pear blossoms and rain, and waved and said, "Go ahead." ”

Su Wei was blessed and left with tears in her eyes.

As soon as Su Weirou left, Feng Hong spoke: "Why did the old lady suddenly become strict with her cousin? ”

Old Chen leaned back on the pillow and snorted coldly, "Hmph! If I don't care about her at this time, I'm afraid that she will also learn from her mother in the future! The people in the inner courtyard of this high gate are many stupid and less spermful! Wei Rou is still young, and the little flowery intestines in her stomach can't be counted by others." She only needs to marry someone who has a good family and can help her father and younger brother, like the Lu Guogong Mansion and the Liang Wangfu with a high threshold, she can't worry about it!"

Feng Hong nodded, but after thinking about it, she said: "The slave maid heard that the old lady of the Lu Guogong Mansion began to look at her granddaughter-in-law since she returned from the beginning of the year. Some people say that the Lu Guogong Mansion just wants to give the prince a daughter-in-law who is not high, so as not to make the above suspicious. ”

Old Chen pondered for a while and shook his head and said, "Even if the Duke of Lu wants to marry a low-ranking prince, Wei Rou will not be able to enter the eyes of others. We can't let that girl move this thought, and I'm afraid that if she gets into trouble, she will affect us. ”

The "we" in Lao Chen's mouth refers to herself and the people in the fifth room. If you want to talk about kissing, of course, it is the son and grandson who are even closer! How can it be because of a granddaughter who cheats on the children and grandchildren!

Su Weirou came out of Yanshou Ju crying, and now she is more and more angry with her parents, why did they send her to Chengyibo's Mansion in Beijing to be humiliated!

"Girl, don't cry. The little girl who served Su Weirou looked at her master worriedly and persuaded.

Su Weirou stood under the eaves of a corridor, pursed her lips and looked at the flowers and plants under the corridor, and the fire in her heart was burning more and more because of resentment and jealousy!

Why can't she marry into a high family? Why can't she be in love with that fairy-like man! Since you don't want to help me, then I'll fight for it myself!

If she succeeds, she will be able to fly on the branches and become a phoenix! If she fails, it is a big deal to send her to the nunnery as a sister-in-law!

Thinking like this, Su Weirou was not sad, she wiped the tears from her face and eyes, and snorted with a slight cold in her eyes.

"Cousin Su?" the man's voice sounded under the porch.

Su Weirou was startled and turned her head to look. I saw Cai Sanye holding a gold fan in one hand and the other hand, looking at her with peach blossom eyes.

"It turned out to be the third cousin. Su Weirou bowed to the corridor. "Third cousin, this is just coming back from the palace fortifications?"

Cai Chengchuan looked back and forth on Su Weirou with a pair of eyes, and his eyes lingered in some places with some presumptuousness.

Su Weirou was uncomfortable by Cai Chengchuan, and dodged sideways behind the little girl.

The little girl also saw that Cai Chengchuan's eyes were wrong, and hurriedly escorted her master away.

"Tsk! Beauty is beauty, but it's boring. Cai Chengchuan pouted.

After playing with the fan, Cai Chengshan walked towards the old Chen's longevity residence. He heard that at the beginning of the month, the second sister-in-law of the second room gave the old lady a pair of imperial tribute porcelain vases?

In the garden of the prosperous time, Xie Fuya listened to Ruyi's report, and the corners of her mouth gradually hooked.

Ruyi often walks around the house, and no one cares about this little girl because she is young, so a lot of news about the houses in the house is what she hears or sees when she is playing. It is the best eyes and ears of Xie Fuya in the house!

The cousin came out of Yanshou Ju crying and met the third master. Ruyi continued to report, "The third master entered Yanshou Ju for a cup of tea, and when he came out, he didn't see anything to take. ”

Su Weirou came out of the old Chen family crying?

Cai Chengchuan didn't get the porcelain vase? Why didn't the old Chen family give it to him? In the previous life, in order to make his grandson happy, the old Chen almost snatched the pair of porcelain vases from her!

"Go to Ermen'er and tell Changsheng and ask him to tell the person who contacted the gambling house that it was time to urge Cai Sanye's debt. Xie Fuya commanded softly.

Ruyi received the order to pass the word, and Xie Fuya opened the letter that Luo Changshou handed over today.

The letter said that one of the two suspicious men who had provoked two groups of craftsmen had been resting yesterday and had come today and had been whispering to the other for a long time. vaguely mentioned Lu Guogong.
