Chapter 063: More Interesting Things
A long bolt of lightning accompanied by a loud thunder of "boom" crossed the sky covered with dark clouds, and the Qu merchant ship, which was struggling to move in the pouring rain, lit up the course ahead. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the cockpit.
Shopkeeper Liao put down the Western telescope in his hand, and twisted his eyebrows into the word "Sichuan", "According to this weather, I am afraid that it will be half a month later than expected to arrive in the imperial capital." ”
"Is the lord worried that the city lord and his wife won't be able to catch up with General Yang's birthday banquet?" Standing behind the shopkeeper Liao, the white-faced man who was slightly two or three years younger than him pointed out the worry in his heart.
This person's name is Wei Feng, and he is the confidant of Liao's shopkeeper.
In his early years, Wei Feng and his younger brother Wei Ming came to Suzhou City to make a dye shop business in partnership with a fellow villager. Because the two brothers are honest and trustworthy, they quickly laid a good reputation in Suzhou City and received a few good orders. Who knows, the fellow who partnered with them was a gambler, and when the gambling house owed a large amount of gambling debts, he secretly ran away with the money.
The others ran away, and the two brothers Wei Feng and Wei Ming were naturally forced by the gambling house to repay their debts.
The honest two brothers were forced to sell the dyeing shop and pay off their gambling debts, but they were already penniless. Just when the two brothers were wandering on the streets of a foreign land and were hungry, Shopkeeper Liao, who happened to hear about it, took in the two brothers and arranged an errand for them.
Now Wei Feng seems to be a good helper who follows Shopkeeper Liao to the north and south, and his brother Wei Ming has become the housekeeper of Liao's Mansion and stays in the inner house to help Shopkeeper Liao take care of things in the house.
Shopkeeper Liao sighed slightly, "The city lord and his wife entered the imperial capital this time to participate in General Yang's birthday banquet, and they were personally invited by General Yang. The day before departure, Mrs. Tai also summoned me to her and asked me to give the birthday gift to General Yang on behalf of her old man! If the city lord and his wife can't rush over in time to congratulate General Yang on his birthday this time, I am really ashamed of the old lady's entrustment. ”
Wei Feng has been following Shopkeeper Liao for almost 20 years, and he understands very well how loyal Shopkeeper Liao is to the Qu family, and he also knows how boring Shopkeeper Liao is.
"It's a pity that the rain is too heavy to see the course ahead. Otherwise, we can go on a different route. Wei Feng said helplessly.
"Alas!" Shopkeeper Liao looked at the front covered by the rain curtain and frowned, "I don't know when this rain will fall?" ”
……
At the same time, a depressed voice came from the Tianzi cabin-
"It's boring, you guys can play by yourself!" It was none other than Xuan Lin who made this sound.
The weather has not been very good these days, and the shopkeeper Liao personally came over to tell the city lord and his wife to try to avoid walking around the cabin, so as not to get drenched in heavy rain and get sick.
Therefore, Xuanlin, who has always been active, proposed that everyone fight the landlord.
Of course, he is not the opponent of Mo'er and Qu Tianlin at all, and he is not stupid enough to find abuse.
Since Mo'er got the list of rivals that day, her attention has been attracted, and Xuan Lin has seen her buried in the list all day long, and she has a momentum that is about to memorize the contents of it. There is no flawless way to take care of a few of them.
This fight landlord needs three people, and Xuan Lin naturally stretched out his claws to Morning Frost.
It's just that he forgot that Chenshuang is Mo'er's dowry maid, and she has been serving Mo'er since she was a child, this landlord, she can't play! It's just that Lin Pavilion has been watching Xuanlin being abused by the city lord and his wife so much that even his wife has lost everything, and he feels pitiful, so he has been pretending to have bad card skills and deliberately losing to him.
Finally found someone who could lose to him, Xuanlin's card addiction that he had finally suppressed naturally recovered, and he naturally pulled Chenshuang and Qu Tianlin to fight the landlord. Qu Tianlin still abused him mercilessly, but there was also a morning frost to give him the bottom, although the silver ticket in Xuanlin's pocket was exported a little, it was not much, which made him addicted.
Chenshuang is just a little girl, she didn't have any money, she lost for a few days in a row, and after losing all the money on her body, she finally made a big show today and killed all sides.
Not to mention Xuanlin, even Qu Tianlin has lost all the money he has won in the past few days.
Chenshuang shuffled the cards in his hand, but looked at Xuan Lin with great disdain, "Brother Jun, your cards are not very good!" I've only lost so many games and I don't play, but I haven't been yelling like you for a few days! ”
When Chenshuang said this, Xuan Lin's face suddenly turned red, he cleared his throat in embarrassment, and said, "That...... Morning Frost girl, don't I have no money? ”
"Oh! It turns out that Brother Jun has no money, why didn't he say it earlier? Chenshuang boldly pinched a stack of silver tickets with a face value of five taels of silver in front of her, and slapped them in front of Xuanlin, "Oh, these are lent to you!" ”
Xuan Lin smiled bitterly and thought: This girl is too real!
Actually, he didn't really have no money.
After all, in order to cooperate with the morning frost, he and Qu Tianlin both used silver tickets worth five taels as gambling funds, and he just wanted to find a step for himself to go down.
After all, it's too much to lose money all the time.
"Morning Frost, Jun Guard said that there is no money, that is to find a step for himself. You should be considerate and considerate of the feelings of the losers. Mo'er suddenly raised her head from the book and helped Xuanlin out of the siege.
Her words, listening to Xuan Lin's ears, were like a heavenly sound.
He turned his head to Mo'er and showed a bright smile, "It's still Madame who is the most considerate." After saying that, he turned his head and picked up the stack of silver tickets worth five taels in front of him and returned them to Chenshuang.
Morning Frost took back his silver ticket, very speechless.
At this time, she looked at Xuan Lin's eyes again, and there was a little more strangeness, "Okay, since Brother Jun can't afford to lose, don't play." After the words fell, she no longer looked at Xuanlin, but put away Mo'er's self-made playing cards and put them in the box.
Xuan Lin twitched the corners of his mouth and shouted in his heart: It's over! In the future, in the eyes of the little girl in the morning frost, he will be a person who "can't afford to lose"!
"That...... Morning Frost Girl, let's play a few fights with the landlord! Xuan Lin weakly proposed.
No matter what, he is a big man, and he must save his image!
"No need." Closing the box, Morning Frost refused, "I don't want someone to lose and have to brush their skins again." ”
"Not this time." Xuan Lin piled up a smile full of honesty and assured Morning Frost.
It's a pity that his image was shattered as early as when he repaid the money to Morning Frost.
I saw Chenshuang look disgusted, "It's better to say goodbye." I don't want to play landlord fighting anymore. ”
"Morning Frost ......" Xuan Lin called Morning Frost's name, and when he saw that Morning Frost ignored him, he turned his head and asked Mo'er for help with his eyes.
When Mo'er saw her brother-in-law's pitiful appearance, she said that she was not soft-hearted, it was fake. But Morning Frost is her maid, and she can't favor one over the other.
She smiled slightly, and her clear and delicate eyes suddenly fell on Qu Tianlin, who was lying on the table in a daze, "Stop fighting the landlord, let's do something more interesting!" (To be continued)
