175.Xia Ji's Troubled Times (15)
Yixing's father felt that since Xiao Liu'er's death, Xiao Xu seemed to be a different person. Sometimes her eyes make her look hairy. Unconsciously, I wanted to stay away from her.
Father Yi Xing didn't know that he had become the next object to be removed from Xiao Su. If he goes, no one will ever make a fuss about their relationship again.
She needed an opportunity.
Chen Linggong couldn't stand the prince noon anymore. But he was his only son, and he couldn't do anything with him. Seeing that he refused to eat hard and soft, becoming more and more disobedient, Chen Linggong was extremely eager for God to give him another child.
After experiencing a gain and loss, Concubine Tao finally became pregnant again. The doctor said that this time it was a son. Chen Linggong was really very happy. was so happy that he looked at the envoys of Xun and Jin in front of him, and he was not so angry.
It turned out that it was also a good thing that the prince loved to get into trouble, at least for the moment, it gave Chen Linggong enough reasons to set up a new prince. Chen Linggong decided to wait until Concubine Tao gave birth, and immediately demoted the prince. Before that, out of sight and out of mind, it was not annoying, Chen Linggong asked the prince to think about it behind closed doors in the prince's mansion for a year, and he didn't bother to reprimand him.
The prince was trapped in the mansion, his ears and eyes were closed. His subordinates are a bunch of brainless wine bags and rice bags. Xiao Su felt that her opportunity had come.
Wang Jia is the personal guard of the crown prince. The so-called things gather people in groups, and after he followed the prince, he didn't make much progress in other aspects, but he learned ten out of ten about wine.
On this day, he was off duty, so he went to the Huichun Building to find his old friend. Who knew that the old mother of Huichun Lou disliked that his two taels of silver were too little, so she asked the girl she liked to sing him a little song, and sent him out. When he sneaked in again, he found that the girl was already with a son.
Wang Jia knew that this rejuvenation building had a background, and he didn't dare to make trouble, so he went to the street to get half a catty of wine on credit, and met a bewitching girl who accosted him. The girl introduced him to a "very low capital, a million profits" deal. So he went back to his brothers and borrowed two taels of silver, and then turned around and followed the girl into the casino.
From the beginning of a handful of three and five wen, to a handful of twenty and fifty wen later, two taels of silver disappeared before Wang Jia could cover the heat.
But gamblers are the more they gamble, the redder their eyes become. Coupled with the teasing of the enchanting girl next to him, Wang Jia mortgaged two hundred taels of silver to the casino from a three-entry house that had been passed down from his family for three generations, and continued to gamble, hoping to make a profit. Needless to say, he lost again.
Wang Jia was afraid that he would not be able to explain to his parents when he went back, so he mortgaged his sister-in-law to the casino for twenty taels of silver, hoping to turn it over. It turned out to be another loss.
In the end, the casino man lent him three hundred taels of silver, which he lost again. In the end, Wang Jia gambled without gambling, lost without losing, and lost his coat to others. In the middle of the night, he was thrown out into the street wearing only his middle coat. And the bewitching girl is long gone.
The people in the casino still said cruel things when he came out, saying that if he didn't pay back the money within three days, he would chop off his left hand, and if he didn't pay back the money within five days, he would chop off his right hand, and they also showed him the scene of a person who owed money and did not pay it back was chopped off.
The chopped off hand fell to the ground and its fingers moved twice, and the board was covered in blood. Wang Jia was scared when he looked at it.
He didn't dare not pay it back, but he might not be able to earn a huge sum of three hundred taels in his life, how could he pay it back?
Wang Jia was walking down the street in despair, when a man came to him and threw a silver ingot of ten taels on the ground.
Wang Jia hurriedly rushed over and grabbed it in his hand, holding it tightly, and looked up at the man, only to see that the man was dressed in black, and his face was covered, and he couldn't see who it was.
"Do you still want it?" The man in black took out a silver ingot of fifty taels of silver and shook it in front of Wang Jia.
Wang Jia reached out to grab it, but he couldn't grab it, and he was still robbed
Kicked on the ground and kicked hard. He had no choice but to prostrate on the ground, showing a pleading expression and saying, "I want it!" Please, give it to me! ”
"If you do something for me, I'll give you six hundred taels of silver. It allows you to pay off your gambling debts, and you can also redeem your house and your sister-in-law. The man in black squatted in front of Wang Jia and tempted him.
"I do! I'm willing to help you with anything! As long as you can help me pay off my gambling debts. Wang Jia hugged the thigh of the man in black and said impatiently.
"That's good!" The man in black whispered in Wang Jia's ear for a moment.
"That's what it looks like. It should be simple for you. Just make the prince believe in you. ”
"But it won't be bad for the prince, will it?" Wang Jia still had a hint of hesitation. In fact, he wanted to say that if it was not good for the crown prince, then the risk he took would be greater, and the reward could be a little more?
However, the man in black clearly misunderstood. He chuckled and said, "I didn't expect you to still have a little sense of responsibility." Don't worry, it's just for you to pass on a message, what harm can it be? If you don't want to do it, someone else wants to do it. I'd better go find someone else! ”
As he spoke, the man in black was about to get up and leave.
"I'm willing to do it, I'm willing to do it!" Wang Jia hurriedly grabbed the clothes of the man in black and didn't let him go. How could he send away such a god of wealth? Just spread some news, and you don't have to pay anything, you can make such a lot of money, and a fool will push such a good thing out!
"Have you thought about it?" The man in black paused and asked.
"Think about it, I'll definitely do it well." Wang Jia patted his chest and reassured.
"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you. If you can't do it, I'll chop off both of your hands. The last sentence of the man in black had a gloomy tone, which made Wang Jia tremble.
"Rest assured! If I can't do it, even if you don't clean me up, I won't end well. I'll do it. "This person is not easy to mess with, Wang Jia hurriedly made a guarantee.
"That's good! So be it! The man in black was about to leave.
Wang Jia hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Wait a minute! Wait a minute! ”
"What?" The man in black asked impatiently.
"My lord, I had a big accident today, and I can't explain it to my family. Can you give me a little advance first? Let my family's house be able to live in first, and my sister won't be taken away by them first? Otherwise, my dad would have peeled my skin. Please! Please! Wang Jia knelt on the ground and kowtowed sincerely.
"No way!" The man in black refused without even thinking about it. If there is no pressure, there is no motivation, and if he is paid half of the salary before he does something, will he still do it with his heart?
"Please! Please! Wang Jia played a stalking trick, holding the leg of the man in black and not letting him leave. He felt that the other party could use him now, and he shouldn't beat him.
"That's it!" The man in black knocked Wang Jia over with one kick, but he didn't make any effort, "This is twenty taels, redeem your sister first." If you want anything else, get things done! ”
The man in black still produced two silver ingots of ten taels, afraid that Wang Jia would continue to entangle, so he quickly made a few leaps and hid in the dark night.
"Son, is it true that you said that if you lend our house to someone to live for a few days, you can get a few dozen taels of silver?" Wang Jia's father asked incredulously.
My house is dilapidated and old, who would want to live here? People who have money don't live in a luxurious and comfortable tavern, why do they live in this place?
"Really, Dad, don't you believe me?" Wang Jia has been persuading the old man for a long time, and if he doesn't go to the casino, he will come to collect the house, and he won't be able to cover anything at that time.
"Humph! It's because you said it that I don't believe it. When you're so old, you don't want to start a family quickly, and you eat and fool around outside all day long. When will you be sensible? The old man's gray beard was curled to the ground, and he looked like he hated iron but not steel.
"Son, my mother is getting old, if you don't get married and have a child quickly, my mother won't be able to help you take it with you." Wang Jia and his mother supported his wife and said worriedly.
"Dad, mother, the girls you asked me to find are far worse than those in the Rejuvenation Building......" Before Wang Jia finished speaking, his father couldn't help but pick up a stick and pull him up.
"Dad, Dad, don't fight! As long as you listen to me today, I will marry tomorrow. I'll marry whoever you ask me to marry, and even if I marry a sow, I won't say a word, okay? Wang Jia held his head and shouted while hiding, not forgetting "business".
"That's what you said! If you repent, I'll break your legs. For the first time, his son was relieved about the marriage, and Wang Jia's father said seriously.
"Good, good! Don't be verbose, let's go! Seeing that the sun was rising, Wang Jia hurriedly pulled his father, mother and sister away.
"We haven't packed our things yet!" Wang Jia shouted.
"What to pack? No need to clean up! This is Wang Jia's voice.
In the end, Wang Jia rented his parents and sister-in-law a house similar to his own on another street.
The envoys of Xun and Jin didn't have much effort to get the compensation they wanted. After a month of eating, drinking, and merrymaking in Wanqiu, they returned to China to resume their lives. Surprisingly, the sheep tongue did not go back with them.
A gentleman's promise, the price is more than a thousand gold. The sheep tongue has a high position for itself, so it will not allow itself to make regrets lightly. Although this kind of thing is really only self-supervision.
But except for the Jin Kingdom, the sky and the earth are big, and there is no suitable place for him to go for a while. The people of the Sheep Tongue family are all running the Jin Kingdom, and other big countries, such as Qi State, Qin State, Chu State and other countries have disputes with the Jin State which is also a big country.
Small countries such as Ju and Tan are not as big as a county in those big countries, and they are not interesting to operate. Even if the whole country is mobilized, it is impossible to influence the overall situation of the world.
As for countries like Zheng Guo, Chen Guo, and Lu Guo, which are neither big countries nor so "pocket-sized", the IQ of the monarch is mostly indescribable. Chen Linggong of Chen Guo is a typical example.
The sheep's tongue is relatively coming, comparing, and I haven't figured out where to go. Xia Ji persuaded him to stay in Zhulin for half a year. Half a year later, Xia Nan and Yang Yuyu have become good friends who talk about everything.
"Are you still leaving?" Xia Nan looked at the sheep tongue that was packing up, and a strong reluctance swelled in his heart. It was his first true friend.
"Hmmm! It's not always a way to stay in one place, and if you walk around, you may see a way out. "The sheep's tongue is reluctant to Xia Nan, but the eldest husband is determined to be in the world, how can he not move forward? His heart has never been small.
