Watching Huichun go out of the yard, the smile on Eleven Niang's face slowly faded, her eyes lowered slightly, and her white fingers carefully rubbed the teacup with residual warmth, as if she was thinking about something.

When Xue Ye saw her expression, the smile in his eyes also retracted, and he called softly, "Eleven Niang, what's wrong?" ”

Eleven Niang didn't answer, just raised her head and glanced at him, and said, "Can you pack up your things?" ”

Xue Ye was stunned, and subconsciously wanted to ask her what happened just now, but before the words came out, she saw that Eleven Niang had already gotten up, went inside, and asked Xue Ye with a smile as she walked, "Why don't you move to Tinghexuan, there is still a vacant room over there, or you have a courtyard with Aunt Zhou and Ling'er, the study and bedroom are very loose, and it also saves you the ...... of lack of food and drink here every day."

As he spoke, he looked at Xue Ye from top to bottom, shook his head slightly, stretched out his hand to make up for a height, and chuckled, "When I saw you last year, you were only so tall, your small body is as round as Little Twelve, and your kung fu has grown a lot higher in a year, but you have lost too much weight, you are growing your body, and you have to use your brain to learn, I think it is better to ask my mother to help you make up for it......" In the end, he was already talking to himself.

Then, he opened the cotton curtain and walked in.

Xue Ye hurriedly followed up and stopped Eleven Niang, "My identity is sensitive, so I still can't stop passing it, so as not to arouse anyone's ideas, but it is not good for Uncle Xia and Aunt Luo." ”

Eleven Niang paused, frowned slightly, and raised her eyes to look at Xue Ye, "Someone is looking for it again?" ”

Xue Ye was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly shook his head, "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm just afraid of what if, it's better for me to live alone." ”

Eleven Niang glanced at him again, Xue Ye looked at the big kang in the corner, avoiding her gaze, but blushed in an instant, and hurried over to stuff something under the futon.

Eleven Niang's sharp eyes saw that the corner of the exposed was a pair of obscene pants, and laughed, but she didn't force Xue Ye to move over, but just told him that even if he didn't move in, it would be better to live there during the New Year.

Xue Ye blushed and responded, and Eleven Niang made dinner with him, asking him to come over for breakfast early tomorrow morning.

Sending Eleven Niang out of the yard, Xue Ye returned to the house, lowered his head and picked up the teacup that was touched by Eleven Niang, Qing Jun's brows frowned slightly, half loud, and said lightly, "Su Ze, go and stare at the old mansion of the Xia family, and report to me as soon as there is any trouble." ”

A figure fell from the beam of the room, his aura was very cold, and his expression was extremely indifferent, hugging his fists, "Young master, the duty of your subordinates is not to leave you." ”

Xue Ye lowered his eyes and didn't move for half a minute, "Then send another person." ”

There was a hint of love in Shu Ze's eyes, and his voice was still flat, "Yes." ”

The words fell, and the person disappeared into the house.

Xue Ye put down the teacup in his hand, went straight to the study, picked up a book, and opened it......

Eleven Niang and Huichun came out of Xue Ye's courtyard and walked more than twenty steps, Eleven Niang suddenly spoke, "Huichun, have you noticed anyone who has come to find Young Master Xue these days?" ”

Huichun shook her head, "The slave maid has sent food for a few days, but I haven't seen anyone coming. ”

Eleven Niang lowered her eyes, thinking that Xue Ye deliberately avoided her sight, she always felt that something was wrong, her brows frowned slightly, and she clapped her hands gently, "I know you follow me, come out." ”

The alley was silent, without a single sound.

"Eiharu." Eleven Niang glanced at Huichun, Huichun understood, bent down and picked up a few stones from the ground, and flipped her wrist in a certain direction.

In the air, there was a sudden sound of clothes rubbing, and the two men in black fell from mid-air, looked at each other, and read the surprise in their eyes, as if they didn't expect a young girl to be able to detect their hiding place.

At that moment, he was no longer hypocritical, and took two steps forward to hold his fist at Eleven Niang, "Miss Xia." ”

Eleven Niang nodded and said lightly, "Are you listening to Lord Yuan's order or Meng Yuanlang's order?" ”

The two glanced at each other, and one of them clenched his fists, "We are Lord Meng's subordinates." ”

Eleven Niang snorted, and looked at Xue Ye's small courtyard with her eyes, "Has anyone been here recently?" ”

The two looked at each other again, silent, and Eleven Niang looked at the two.

The man who had just spoken out clasped his fists again, "We are under the orders of Lord Meng to protect Miss Xia, and we don't know who is in contact with Young Master Xue in private. ”

"Don't you have companions? Just ask. Eleven Niang smiled faintly, "I'm waiting for you at home, if you can't ask for news, you don't have to follow me." ”

The words fell, and he turned to leave.

Huichun's cold aura was unceremoniously released, his eyes were like unsheathed swords, cold and sharp and murderous.

The two were forced to take a step back, glanced at each other, and retreated.

Only then did Huichun catch up with Eleven Niang, and a master and a servant went out of the alley and returned to Acacia Hutong.

When I got to the courtyard, I didn't go to the main room to say hello to Luo, but I heard Banniang shouting out of breath from afar, "Eleven Niang, it's not good, the ...... of the gambling house" The people from the gambling house came to collect our shop......"

Eleven Niang frowned and patted Banniang's back, "Eighth sister, you speak slowly, what's wrong?" ”

Banniang stroked her chest, swallowed hard, spit it out, grabbed Eleven Niang's hand and said, "It's Fang Shusheng, he sneaked out to gamble and lost a lot of silver, the people in the gambling house took the IOU to collect the cash, and if there is no silver, Uncle Fang will take the shop to settle the account, and this time is making trouble in front ......of our shop."

Xia Chenghe and Luo Shi heard the movement and came out of the house, "Banniang, what you said is true?" ”

Banniang stomped her feet anxiously, "What am I lying to you for?" The people in the gambling house also said that the shop should also be converted into silver, and if the silver is not enough, they will arrest the Fang family's sister to pay off the debt, and the Fang family's sister was crying and fainting just now......"

"Huh? This...... What's going on? Roche's face was confused, "Isn't it all good for half a year?" Why did you suddenly go to gambling again? ”

Gambling addiction is like drug addiction, addicted people are like going mad, and the six relatives don't recognize it, where is it so easy to quit!

Poor old man Fang

Poor Uncle Fang encountered such a bad thing when he was coming, he expected his son to take the exam before he could stand up to the door, but he didn't want his son to become addicted to gambling and ruin his daughter and lose the family business!

Eleven Niang shook her head, whispered a few words to Huichun, Huichun nodded, went straight to Eleven Niang's room, walked out in a moment, and nodded to Eleven Niang.

Here, Roche said urgently, "Let's go, let's go over and see if there is anything we can do to help, even if we can't keep the shop, people always have to take care of it." ”

Xia Chenghe nodded.

Banniang belched in response, took Luo's hand and walked out.

The plaque of the Xia family's shop has been removed, and the old uncle and daughter Fang, who are single and weak, confronted a few gambling house guys with unkind faces, "You, don't mess around, I have already rented this shop to others......"

A guy raised the IOU in his hand and sneered, "Old man Fang, we can't be blamed for this, no one wants to be unhappy in the New Year." See this IOU? One thousand taels! Your shop and the small courtyard inside can't last eight hundred taels from your small house, even if you take your three daughters who enter the palace to pay off the debt, it will be two hundred taels short......"

"Let's persuade you in a good voice, don't be ignorant, hurry up and take out the title deed and house deed of the shop, we are still waiting to go back to pay the errand!" Another guy followed.

"Whoever owes you money, you go to whoever asks for it, I, I don't have any money!" Old Man Fang blocked his daughter behind him and stopped a few guys.

"Hey, it's a toast and don't eat and drink, isn't it? Do you want your son? Don't we just unload it from place to place! I sue you, I will give you a bright word at this time, which annoys our Tianle Casino, and there are some ...... that you can't digest."

Fang Shusheng, who was twisted by the other two guys, was half-kneeling on the ground, his eyes were bloodshot, his hair was scattered, a gray and white cotton robe was stained with mud, and the dirt had lost its original color, one hand was clasped on the ground, and he was half-kneeling and yelled at Uncle Fang, "Dad, help me!" Help me! I don't want to die, I don't want to die! I am your own son, your only son, how can the Fang family inherit the family after I die? If I die, who will give you a pension and send you to the end of the old basin......"

Fang Shusheng said eagerly, a pair of hands stretched out to reach Fang Laohan, but he was pressed by the guy, and stepped on him with one foot, Fang Shusheng's face was close to the ground, and his frozen purple lips still continued, "Dad, I promise, this is the last time, I will never gamble again, I will study hard, I will take the fame test, I will earn you an old lady, I will give my mother the whole life, I will raise my eyebrows for the Fang family, I will give the Fang family a glorious lintel, Dad, you save me......"

Old Man Fang had sunken eyes, his face was pale and withered, his open hands were like skin and bones, and he was scary. Hearing his son's desperate words for help, tears and snot flowed down his face, but he didn't say a word.

Fang Shusheng couldn't get a response from Old Man Fang, and began to call the Fang family girl again, "Sister! Sister, my brother is wrong, my brother is really wrong, my brother will compensate you, my brother will kowtow to you, you save my brother again, my brother promises that this is the last time, can you save my brother? My brother used to love you the most, and he will definitely love you well in the future, my brother studied hard, took the examination to become a big official, and found you a good family affair...... You save my brother and beg my father to give them the shop......"

"Your sister is going to come with us!" The man who pressed him kicked him.

Fang Shusheng hurriedly responded, with a bit of flattery, "My sister will go with you too......"

Old Man Fang snorted, his voice was sad, like the wail of a beast before he died, desperate and heartbreaking! He ran over regardless of the qiē, and the other party's scholar punched and kicked, "Brute, you brute, you brute!" She's your own sister! It's your own sister! How can you bear it, how can you bear it? Has your heart been eaten by wolves? How did I raise such a brute as you! Brutes! ”

The gambling house guy didn't expect Fang Laohan to rush over, and as soon as his hand loosened and lost Fang Shusheng, Fang Shusheng grabbed Fang Laohan's shirt and pulled it into his arms, "Land deed, house deed!" Title deeds, house deeds......"

Old Man Fang was lying on his back on the ground, tears streaming down his face, "Beast, beast......"

The girl of the Fang family sat on the ground with a pale face, her eyes were full of tears, and she whimpered, "Dad, brother, ......"

The neighbors who were watching around were talking a few words at first, but there was silence at this moment, and many people were red-eyed when they looked at the miserable family of three.

are all old neighbors who have lived for decades, Fang Shusheng almost watched and grew up, if there was no gambling, how could Fang Shusheng's talent be able to take a show for the Fang family's glorious lintel, but now, the troublesome family property is ruined, and a good family is scattered like this......

Several guys glanced at each other, each with a look, some went up to pull away Fang Shusheng, and some went to drag the Fang family girl, but Fang Laohan rushed over to protect him, "You want to fight and kill my life, don't abuse my daughter again!" Don't spoil my daughter again......"

"You wolf-hearted things, this is going to force people to death, aren't you raised by your mother's father? Don't you have any siblings? I am not afraid of retribution for doing these unconscionable things......" An elderly lady stood up from the crowd of onlookers and pointed at a few gambling house guys and scolded.

Several casino guys looked at each other, "What should I do?" ”

"Listen to the old woman's rambling, it's not us who forced him to gamble. If you dare to gamble, you must dare to take responsibility, play happily, and don't want to bear the consequences afterwards, everyone is the same as him, our gambling house can't be opened? Arrest! ”

"What Brother Wang said is, arrest people, arrest people! We sympathize with them, who sympathizes with us? If he doesn't pay back the 1,000 taels, our brothers won't be able to pay the difference when they go back......"

When the eleventh mother's family arrived, they heard the righteous words of the gambling house guys, and several people rushed up and pulled away Fang Laohan to arrest the Fang girl.

The girl of the Fang family screamed, "Dad, my daughter is not filial!" The guy who broke free and grabbed her slammed into the doorpost of Xia's shop.

said that it was too late, and a figure flashed by, blocking in front of the doorpost that the girl of the Fang family rushed to, catching the body of the girl of the Fang family, and a black hair suddenly hit her chest, and Eleven Niang was in pain

Eleven Niang groaned in pain, "Hiss......" It hurts!

Eleven Niang was speechless in pain, stretched out her hand to support the sliding body of the Fang family girl, and looked at Banniang, Banniang's eyes widened, her small mouth opened slightly, and she saw Eleven Niang looking at herself, and her face was not good, she hurriedly pulled away the crowd and ran over, "Eleven Niang, what's wrong with you?" ”

Eleven Niang grinned, pulled out a smile and shook her head, and popped out word by word, combining them into one sentence, "She, dizzy, now, first, help, her, sit, down." ”

"Oh." Banniang hurriedly took the girl from the Fang family, took her to sit down on the bench in the store, and leaned her on the table again, and turned around to help Eleven Niang.

Shi Niang turned her back to everyone, reached out and rubbed her chest, she was out of breath in pain, and her beautiful face was a little distorted.

Banniang ran over, stretched out her hand and rubbed her chest carefully, "Eleven Niang, are you better?" ”

"Hiss, it hurts......"

"I'll tap, I'll tap......" Banniang's eyes were apprehensive, holding her breath, and rubbing it carefully.

Outside the shop, a group of people looked at the sisters with a smile, and the gambling house guy frowned, "Where did you come from, it's none of your business here, the master advises you not to mix well, otherwise, don't blame the master for not knowing how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade ...... if you are tired of your reputation."

Eleven Niang twisted her eyebrows slightly, and moaned uncomfortably, Banniang suddenly raised her head, with a face full of anger, "Shut up the fuck to my aunt!" One more word, my aunt and grandmother will abolish you! ”

The guy who spoke out was stunned, and the unfinished words came to an abrupt end, and a group of people stared at Banniang dumbfounded.

After a long while, Eleven Niang smiled at her, "Eighth sister, I'm fine." ”

Banniang smiled on her face and helped her up.

Xia Chenghe and Luo squeezed in from the crowd, Xia Chenghe went to help Fang Laohan, and Luo went straight to Banniang and Eleven Niang, "Eleven Niang, but your chest hurts?" Mother will rub your ......."

"Mother!" Banniang hurriedly stopped Luo, "I just kneaded Eleven Niang, if you rub it again, she will hurt again." ”

Roche sighed and put down his hand, "That mother doesn't rub it." ”

The family converged and entered the Xia family's shop.

Xia Chenghe helped Fang Laohan to sit down, "Uncle Fang, are you okay?" ”

Old Man Fang raised his dry hand and wiped his face, shaking his head, "Thank you Boss Xia, I'm fine." My daughter, she ......"

The eyes of several people looked at the girl lying on the table, it was obviously winter, and she still looked so thin after wearing such a thick cotton jacket, the tears in Fang Laohan's eyes couldn't be stopped, and his voice was obviously hoarse, "...... It's my fault, it's all my ......"

Luo Shi and Xia Chenghe glanced at each other and sighed, Ba Niang shook her head next to her with red eyes, "Sister Fang didn't hit the pillar, she was stopped by Eleven Niang and fainted, and woke up after a while." I don't blame you for this, blame Fang Scholar, blame Su Shaonan! ”

At the end, the gnashed teeth rattle.

Then, Huo Ran stood up, crossed his waist and said to a few gambling house guys, "If you want the silver to go to your master, tell Su Shaonan, he dares to come, and his father and mother can't recognize him if I don't beat my aunt!" ”

"Yo, the little girl's tone is not small, she actually dares to call our young master's name, isn't it where you see our young master, and you have taken a fancy to it? It's a pity that the young master of our family still doesn't accept his aunt now, otherwise he ......"

"Eiharu!" Eleven Niang said coldly, "Plug their mouths." ”

Hui Chun should be, his gaze swept over a few people, his body shook, and he reached out to remove the speaker's chin. flashed again and returned to the back of Eleven Niang.

The gambling guy who spoke held his chin, his frightened eyes were panicked, his face was white, and he grabbed his companion and pointed at his mouth silently......

The scene was silent for an instant, several gambling house guys showed three points of fear, seven points of panic, and several people pushed one out to speak, "This, this girl, my companion can't speak, I can't accompany you." Our gambling house has no intention of stirring up trouble, yes, it was Fang Laohan's son who lost the silver in our gambling house, and we were also ordered to collect the silver......"

The man was pushed forward two steps, took the IOU in his hand, and pulled the corners of his mouth, "Look, the IOU is proof, they returned the silver, we will naturally leave, and please make it convenient." ”

Eleven Niang glanced at Huichun, Huichun walked over and took the IOU, handed it to Eleven Niang, Eleven Niang swept the number on the IOU, raised her eyebrows slightly, and glanced at Fang Shusheng, who was hiding in the corner, "One thousand taels ......"

Old Man Fang choked up, his voice hoarse, "That brute sneaked out while my daughter and I were not paying attention, and gambled in the gambling house...... What kind of iniquity have I had? But he didn't want to look at Fang Shusheng again.

Xia Chenghe sighed, frowned and thought for a moment, and said to Eleven Niang, "Eleven Niang, this shop ...... Can we ......?"

Luo Shi also nodded hurriedly, his eyes were a little red, he remembered what happened to Shi Niang at that time, and said urgently, "Let's look for it again when the shop is gone, we can't let people fall into it......"

Banniang also looked at Eleven Niang with wide eyes, and Eleven Niang nodded lightly.

Gambling harms people, bankrupts abound, and the Fang family is not the first nor the last.

Although she didn't look down on the scholar's style, she didn't want Fang Laohan and the innocent Fang family girl to bear the sins created by Fang Shusheng, after all, they were people who had been together for more than half a year, and the Fang family girl had also taught her two sisters embroidery skills, and she was somewhat affectionate. Otherwise, last time Fang Scholar made a big fuss in the shop, she would not have shown mercy.

"Good! Good! Luo's voice was a little excited, "Good Eleven Niang......"

Eleven Niang smiled at Luo's family, turned her eyes at the old man on the other side and said, "Let them take this shop, count your house worth eight hundred taels, and my family will help you pay back the remaining two hundred taels, but I have one condition......

Old Man Fang raised his head in astonishment, his eyes were full of disbelief, and his lips trembled slightly, "Ten, Eleven Niang......"

Eleven Niang looked at him with a smile.

Roche went to pull his daughter's clothes, "Eleven Niang......"

Eleven Niang shook her head at Luo, and Old Man Fang had already risen

Fang Laohan had already gotten up and knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Eleventh girl, whatever conditions the old man agrees, I just ask Eleven girl to save my daughter......"

"No!"

Eleven Niang hurriedly got up to avoid the old man's kowtow, which affected the wound on her chest, twitched in pain, and her face turned pale.

"Girl." Eharu reached out to hold her.

Xia Chenghe and Luo Shi hurriedly bent down to help Fang Laohan, but Fang Laohan stubbornly knelt down, and a pair of cloudy eyes flashed with hope and looked at Eleven Niang steadily.

"Eleven Niang......" Xia Chenghe and Luo also looked at Eleven Niang, with a slight condemnation in their eyes.

Eleven Niang was helpless, endured the pain in her chest, and pulled out a smile, "I want Uncle Fang to go to our house, our family just lacks a housekeeper, Uncle Fang and Sister Fang went over together, the people in the gambling house naturally didn't dare to come to look for trouble again, as for Fang Shusheng...... If Uncle Fang rest assured, leave it to me, I will try my best to help him quit his gambling addiction, Uncle Fang, okay? ”

"Good, good! Thank you, Miss Eleven! Thank you, Miss Eleven......"

Fang Laohan nodded again and again, and kowtowed two more times to Eleven Niang, Eleven Niang hurriedly avoided it, Xia Chenghe and Luo Shi half-supported Fang Laohan up.

The couple glanced apologetically at Eleven Niang, Eleven Niang smiled comfortingly, and raised her hand, "Huichun, take two hundred taels of silver." ”

"Yes, girl." Eharu went to get the silver ticket.

Fang Laohan took out a few yellowed pieces of paper from his arms with trembling hands and handed them to Eleven Niang, "Eleventh girl, give it, this, this is the title deed and house deed of the shop and my house." ”

Eleven Niang took it, and after a while, Huichun brought the silver ticket, and the two of them came together and gave it to a few guys in the gambling house, and several people smiled, "Miss Mingli, thank you so much!" ”

"Say a word to you Young Master Su, and when I see him go to the gambling house in the future, I will be coaxed out." Eleven Niang said lightly.

Several people were stunned and looked at each other, "This ...... The girl is stumped for us, our gambling house opens the door to do business, how can there be a reason to drive the guests out, besides, we shrimp soldiers and crab generals will not have a chance to meet the young master......"

"Don't need them to say, I'll go find Su Shaonan and say!" Banniang took a few mouthfuls and waved her hand like a fly, "Don't roll if you take the silver!" ”

Several people laughed together, "Go, go, let's go......"

In the shop, the girl of the Fang family, who slowly woke up, found that she was not dead, and she got up and wanted to hit it, but was stopped by Huichun holding the back collar, Fang Laohan rushed over, hugged her daughter and cried.

The onlookers looked sad for a while.
