Before Hongchen finished speaking, he saw a strong light burst out in the child's eyes, and when he turned his face, he gritted his teeth and pounced in front of his sister.

"Sister, don't stop me, he still dares to open that gambling house, I have to teach them a lesson and let them know that it is amazing!"

Xiao Xiang's face immediately rose a layer of angry red, so angry that he couldn't care about Hongchen here, grabbed his ears, and said hatefully: "How to teach?" Bet? Can't make a bet again? It's all about not learning well with that bastard father, you didn't see your father's virtue, do you want to fall into the same fate as him? ”

As soon as she saw that she was angry, the little ghost drooped his head.

He didn't speak on his face, but he could see that his eyes were dripping and he knew that he was not dead yet.

Such a half-grown child is the most headache, and it is the time when you always feel that you are the most powerful, and you are not afraid of heaven and earth.

Xiaoxiang sighed, her brother still doesn't understand anything, before her father became a bad gambler, he loved this only son very much, and his mother also spoiled him, but later the family was down, and Ah Ghost was mortgaged by his father to Butterfly Tower, I'm afraid those people are also thinking about how to train him as a cronie and make money for them, except for using fairy ointment to make him addicted first, other means didn't have time to use, and the person was saved, this kid didn't know the terrible thing about the other party, and he didn't understand the height of the sky, and he thought about making money and making a fortune by himself. But don't take the right path, as long as you make some money!

is also my sister, when I encounter this kind of bear child who wants to strangle to death, I still have the patience to guard him and protect him, and if I change someone else, I can't say that I will let go long ago, and the other party will fend for himself.

Hongchen didn't think the bear child was particularly troublesome.

Anyway, it's not his own brother. In the face of other people's troubles, they can be more or less tolerant.

Ah ghost, this bear child still knows how to hurt his sister.

"Hongchen, this is easy, a little hairy child, and he hasn't become a gambler yet, he is too proud and curious, tell him what is going on in the casino, and ensure that this kid will tremble when he hears the word gambling from now on."

"Hey, we don't want to watch this kind of drama anymore, vulgar!"

"What are you afraid of. It's easy to use! ”

Hongchen: "......"

The powers in the Yujue space are getting more and more boring. Ever since her Jade Jue recognized the Lord, the Mighty Powers have paid seven points more attention to her.

Although there are advantages, such as when she wants to ask something, sometimes she doesn't have to wait for a post. People told her spontaneously. But as long as you don't close the space. It's not a good feeling to be watched all day.

Blinked, sweeping away the messy thoughts in his head. Hongchen smiled and reassured: "Xiaoxiang, don't worry, I see, your younger brother does have a little talent in gambling." ”

Xiao Xiangden was stunned.

As soon as Ah Ghost raised his head, he obviously had a good impression of the county lord in front of him, and said loudly: "That is, when I was in the gambling house, those people couldn't bet on me, I want to really try it, and I guarantee to win their heads......"

When it came to the gambling house, Xiaoxiang was startled, her face turned pale, and when she saw her sister's face, Ah Ghost had to shut up.

Hongchen patted Xiaoxiang's arm, the smile on his face was even stronger, he was not angry at all, and said softly: "Okay, why don't we two gamble a few times, and let your sister see your skills, if you are really good, I will lend you a gambling book, let you make a big profit, and then pay me back after earning it, what do you think?" ”

Ah Ghost was stunned, his face showed a little joy, and his eyes stared at his sister with burning eyes.

Xiao Xiang was a little hesitant in her heart, but it was the county lord's mother who spoke, and she still believed that this noble man would not harm their sister and brother, so she nodded.

Ah Ghost was overjoyed, rubbed his hands, and squinted at Hongchen: "County Lord Niangniang, if I win, don't be angry in the future." ”

Hongchen smiled: "I rarely gamble with people, I don't know how to play at all, it's normal to lose, and I'm not angry." ”

Ah Ghost was still a little disappointed.

He is now looking around, no one is invincible, and he wants to shout three times - who is the opponent in the world!?

As a result, I got a Jiaojiao county lord who didn't know how to play as an opponent, and naturally felt a little boring.

Although, although he is small, he also knows that the county lord has great kindness to him and his sister, if there is no nobleman, the family still doesn't know what will become, maybe he will let the gambling house be tied forever, and he will no longer be free, and his sister may also let his gambler father sell it.

Hongchen laughed in a low voice: "We are not a gambling house here, I also have Pai Gow and dice here, why don't you bet on Pai Gow and dice?" ”

There's really no way to gamble at home.

Ah Ghost nodded, looking eager to try.

Hongchen ordered to go down, let people bring gambling equipment over, hand them over to Ah Ghost for inspection first, take out the paper himself, and write something on the desk.

"Don't worry, I'll write something first, wait a minute."

Xiaoxiang saw that Hongchen had no intention of hiding, so she came over to serve and polish the ink for her, but after Hongchen wrote for a long time, she finally finished writing and handed it to her to read.......

Hongchen smiled, didn't say anything, finished writing and folded it in an envelope, and handed it to the confused ghost.

"You take this letter first, and then you can open it when we finish gambling."

Ah Ghost was ignorant, but since the county lord said so, he naturally agreed.

Moved tables and chairs, the two sat opposite each other, Hongchen didn't feel that Ah Ghost was young, so he seemed to be contemptuous, and started seriously.

Bet on the dice first and guess the size.

As soon as he grabbed the dice, Ah Ghost became energetic.

At the beginning, the two of them immediately fought quite a bit of a fight.

When Ah Ghost first came, he planned to let go, but he immediately found out that Hongchen was actually a master, not to mention letting go, he had to concentrate all his attention, so that he could barely be too ugly.

As if in the blink of an eye, after ten bets, Hongchen won seven times, lost twice, and guessed the points once to guess the draw.

Ah Ghost took a deep breath: "Come again, come again, I will definitely win next time!" ”

As soon as he gambled with Hongchen, he inexplicably felt excited, and even had a fanatical feeling of being in a gambling house. Excited, nervous, full of ecstasy when you win, you can't wait to beat the table and shout when you lose, and you want to turn the tables when you lose.

After gambling all afternoon, it was dark.

Hongchen smiled and put his hand on the table: "Okay, let's withdraw, it seems that it is not easy for us ghosts to win a lot of money." ”

"Don't!"

Ah Ghost's face was full of excitement, "I still have a chance, I haven't lost yet!" ”

on his desk. Copper coins used for gambling money. has all returned to Hongchen, but he still has a feeling that he still has a chance.

Because it's not that I've been losing, I've won a few games. Just lose a big one. That taste. People who don't sit at the table will never realize it.

Hongchen smiled: "I gave you the letter at the beginning, take it out and read it, and then talk about it after reading it." ”

Ah Ghost was full of reluctance. The spirit is still on the table, where can I care about anything else? But Hongchen insisted that he would no longer play with him if he said anything, so he had to reluctantly tear it open and take it out to see.

After just a few glances, Ah Ghost still didn't understand it, and said inexplicably: "What kind of mess is this......

Immediately, his eyes widened, he kicked down the chair with a bang, trembling all over, looked at the paper, and then looked up at the red dust who was leisurely drinking tea, his lips moved, and the whole person collapsed for a while, so that his sister grabbed it, so he didn't fall down.

"Exactly, what's going on?"

Hongchen smiled: "Just like you see." ”

Ah Ghost still didn't believe it, and gritted his teeth: "It must be you...... County Lord, you are tricky, how can there be such a thing? ”

On that piece of paper, clearly write out that there is no game of betting, who loses, and who wins, if it is just so, it is just, it even can write a seven, seven, eighty or eight on the face of each game, as for the dice, not only the points shaken out of the red dust are accurate, but the points he shakes out of each hand, there is also a general range, and the points are not wrong.

Hongchen smiled mysteriously.

"If you really say that I am playing tricks, it is also something that most gambling houses can play, and the so-called ten gambles and nine frauds are not a joke."

A ghost wanted not to believe it, but deep down he believed it.

"I ......"

Hongchen glanced at him, carefully looked at his face, called Tie Niu, and asked him to go out to find someone.

After a while, Saburo jumped up.

Hongchen grabbed him, pushed it to the table, and said, "I know that you kid is still not convinced, I think I did it, so let's do it, you bet with San Lang, if you are still not convinced after gambling, then ...... I'll find someone to bet with you. ”

Ghost: "......"

He sat down at the table honestly, but it was very different from the ambitious appearance just now, and there was a little hesitation and caution between his eyebrows.

San Lang smiled with a branch in his mouth, this time he didn't make trouble with Hongchen, his master was still recuperating from his injuries, but he accepted the love of the county lord, and he also knew how to repay the kindness, and now he is very polite and polite to this county lord's mother.

Hongchen smiled: "San Lang, you have to win this game." ”

San Lang responded very casually, the two of them started to play, Hongchen stood aside and watched, and asked San Lang to win for a while, and asked San Lang to lose for a while.

Finally, Ah Ghost couldn't stand it anymore, stood up suddenly, gritted his teeth and looked up, his eyes were full of tears.

"You want to say that you can learn this too?" Hongchen shook his head, "What you can't learn, it's not just the trick of deceit, once the gambling house opens, you can only win the gambling house, not the gamblers, they have put an end to the hope of gamblers from feng shui to all aspects, even if your skills are high, you can only be a loser after all." ”

Hongchen said it categorically, regardless of whether it was true or not, anyway, when it came out of her mouth, others felt it was true when they heard it.

Ah Ghost was in a trance, sat down for a long time, his lips were pale, his whole body trembled, he stood up suddenly, waved his hand, threw all the mess on the table, turned his head and ran back into the house, and after a while, there was a suppressed cry.

Xiaoxiang's face was very ugly.

Hongchen sighed: "That kid is still young...... Don't worry, he won't be able to enter the gambling house in the future. ”

This kid can't accept it, it's normal to come, he is an ordinary person, he should have the same fate, and his ancestors are the same, facing the loess with his back to the sky, and living more than thirty is longevity, and suddenly one day, he found that he was particularly talented in a certain aspect, although this talent is not good, but he is still inevitably happy.

As a result, he was not happy for a few days, and someone woke him up with a slap, a big dream, all jokes, how could he not be sad?

Ah ghost, this bear child, Hongchen doesn't have time to look at it every day. Saburo often came to enlighten him, and according to Saburo, he was fooled by the county lord to bully a small child, and he didn't bear it.

In the blink of an eye, the heat is coming.

The summer heat in the capital is heavy, and the queens have not yet returned to the palace, so Hongchen only folds goodbye, and then carries the burden and leads the family out of Beijing.

The guard of honor given by the queen slowly went to Qixian County from the official road, and Hongchen took Luo Niang and Tie Niu. A bit of a coachman. The family leader, leading two maids, dressed up, pretending to be an ordinary pedestrian visiting relatives and friends. Let's go find their unicorn first.

"In front is Lijiazhuang."

Out of town. You can't walk more than three miles. It's just a small village.

Although it is a village, it has a beautiful environment, and the villagers are even more knowledgeable. Most of them are cultivators and heirlooms, after all, they are close to the capital, even if it is a small village, it should not be underestimated.

When the carriage entered the village, Hongchen shouted to stop, sat down at a small tea shed not far from the entrance of the village, and fed the horses to rest.

Sit down, asked for a pot of tea, Hongchen tasted it carefully, the mountain tea water, to a little sweet, I think it is the spring water in the mountains to brew.

Luo Niang suddenly lowered her head, pulled Hongchen into the ground, and whispered: "Miss, that person seems to be Xia Chan." ”

She whispered.

Hongchen glanced at it and frowned, feeling very unlucky in his heart.

Not far from the tea shed, there were two villagers selling wine, Xia Chan was talking to a little monk who bought wine, although he had never met a few times in his life, but Hongchen still recognized the person at a glance, and Luo Niang easily recognized it.

Fortunately, the two of them sat in a remote position, and there were a few villagers drinking tea chatting outside, if Xia Cicada didn't come to drink tea, he must not be able to see them.

Hongchen poured a glass for Luo Niang: "Drink, she won't come." ”

That person's temperament, she knows, is kind on the face, but in fact, she is the most respectful of face, and does not associate with rough people.

In such a humble tea shed, her noble feet must be reluctant to step into it.

Xia Cicada was a little thinner, more and more weak, and her skin was slightly dull, she couldn't help but raise her hand and touch her face, the tentacles were actually a little rough.

The bottom of her skin is actually not good, but over the years, she has been carefully maintained, and she has used various palace secret recipes and secret creams, smeared all over her body, and raised until now, not to mention that she can be broken by blowing, and it is not worse than those noble daughters, but in the past few months, she has been tired, and she has left the Xia family, and she has been so tormented that she is unable to maintain her skin, and in a short period of time, this face is no longer what it used to be.

Xia Chan gritted his teeth: "...... in the future"

In the future, she must let the whole world support her, and no matter what kind of treasure she is, she can play with it at will.

As soon as the thought moved, her heart was empty and empty.

His Royal Highness King Li said lightly that day, Xia Chan's heart was cold, and he instantly understood that he was really still an indifferent and ruthless King Li, and he couldn't enter King Li's inner house so obediently at such a time.

Why, she is a person with atmospheric luck, if she doesn't have atmospheric luck, how can God warn her? But luck is not enough, luck can only be an auxiliary, if people do not work hard to fight, to run, is to have a good opportunity in front of you, turn back is also a vain.

After so many years in the Xia family, Xia Chan has learned a lot, and like most of the children of the Xia family, she also memorizes this sentence as a wise saying.

At the beginning of that year, when they entered the family school, the first thing the gentlemen did was to teach them that they were born in the Xia family, that is, they had luck compared to ordinary young ladies in the family, and they must be down-to-earth, step by step, and not waste time and waste their luck.

"My fortune hasn't disappeared yet, and it won't disappear so easily."

Thinking that she was originally a poor girl, she was born to occupy Xia Hongchen's position, doesn't it mean that her luck is naturally better than Xia Hongchen, and God also seems to have eyes and wants to help her.

As for what happened these days, it was just a momentary downturn, and as long as she didn't give up, she could always get through it.

Xia Chan didn't regret turning around that day and leaving, she thought she still knew a little bit about King Li, she walked neatly, didn't talk nonsense, didn't beg for mercy, and couldn't let him worry about it for a few more days.

"Miss, it's almost noon, hurry back and rest."

After the little monk bought the wine, he pulled Xia Cicada's sleeve.

Xia Cicada was excited, came back to his senses, nodded and walked slowly towards the village, occasionally looking up, looking at a mansion not far away. 's heart is hot, and Master Prudence also said that she has been unlucky these days, and she is afraid that it is not good luck, or she should change her luck.

To say that this change is not difficult, the difficult thing is to change her life against the sky, and now she has a chance to change her life against the sky.

Reluctantly gathered away from her reverie, Xia Chan walked away, they left, and Luo Niang said, "Strange." Why did she get here? ”

The thought of Xia Cicada taking a unicorn from her home. also got such a place, and chased after herself, Luo Niang felt a little uneasy in her heart.

"Wouldn't this woman be holding back and playing a conspiracy?"

Hongchen can only sigh for a bad fate.

But. Now that we've met. You don't have to retreat. It's never her who should retreat, I've never been afraid of her in my last life, but I'm afraid of something in this life.

Hongchen's eyes flashed. Looking up at the middle-aged woman who was boiling water in the tea shed, she smiled and said, "Eldest sister, I see a monument standing at the entrance of the village. ”

As soon as he said this, the village was full of pride.

"Lijiazhuang was built by Li Zhuangyuan, of course it has to be called Zhuangyuan Village." The woman fanned the stove and said loudly, "Li Zhuangyuan once held the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and later returned to his hometown, so we changed the name here to Zhuangyuan Village, just hoping to get a touch of the literary atmosphere of Zhuangyuanlang, so that the future students in the village can read more smoothly." ”

But as she spoke, her mood became a little depressed again.

The same goes for the other guests.

"Hey!"

Before Hongchen could ask carefully, an old man in the tea shed sighed, "Lord Li, his old man, if he really plans to sell the ancestral house, then how can it be good, my family still has two acres of land planted by the old man, if this is sold, I don't know if I can find such a good master." ”

The people of the whole village have not been less benefited by that champion Lang, and their hearts are looking forward to the shadow of his old man for a long time.

"That's no way, who let the feng shui of the Li family's ancestral house break, in the past six months, there have been troubles every day, and now, I'm afraid I can't clean it up, so I have to ...... Ay! ”

Hongchen winked.

Luo Niang immediately leaned over and beckoned the shopkeeper to serve another pot of tea to the big guy, and then pretended to be curious: "What, does Lord Li want to sell the house?" ”

It's not a secret, and the guest makes it clear in a few words.

Since half a year ago, everything has not gone well, first in the middle of the night, I always see mottled and chaotic shadows outside the window, and I can't sleep.

A few days later, his only son stepped on the stone steps and broke his leg.

Later, the old mother, who was in her seventies but had always been healthy, suddenly suffered a stroke, her mouth was crooked, her eyes were slanted, and her speech was not good.

Master Li only thought that his family had lost bad luck at that time, and he didn't think much about it, but he didn't expect that it didn't take long for it to make a bigger fuss and start to die.

The granddaughter-in-law, who had just become pregnant, suddenly had a miscarriage, bleeding nonstop, and her mother had nightmares at night.

At this time, an old monk came outside, saying that he had traveled here, and the monk looked at him with kind eyebrows, like a monk, and borrowed a bowl of water from Li's house to drink, and pointed out that Lord Li said that there are dirty things in this old house, and it is very powerful, I am afraid it is not easy to deal with, and it is better to move away as soon as possible.

Master Li's house is ancestral, and it has been passed down for several generations, and he has lived here since he was a child, where can he give up.

The old mother was even more unhappy, and said that she would die at home, but the old monk didn't say much, but only told them to find a few more spirit masters to see the situation.

Don't look at Master Li, who once served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, a high and powerful position, in fact, when he was in office, he was a person who didn't believe in those gods and gods, and he also had a quarrel with many spiritual masters in Beijing.

The old monk was still kind-hearted, so he introduced him to a few masters.

Master Li was invited with a lot of money and placed high hopes, but a few people came to see it, and everyone shook their heads, only saying that the evil was too powerful, and it was to be removed, and I was afraid that it would have to be milled with water, a little bit of grinding, and tossed for decades.

It's really going to be decades, and I'm afraid that Master Li will all be in the ground!

Many people in the tea shed gossip, and after Hongchen drank the tea, he went to the Li family's ancestral house with Luo Niang, planning to go and see it first.

She didn't wear a curtain hat before, but this time she also wore it, and she was still in a carriage, and she passed very low-key, who knows if Xia Chan is monitoring Li Zhai at any time, and now that the enemy is dark and I am clear, she has an advantage, and she can't throw away the advantage casually.

The carriage traveled to the vicinity of Li's house, first found a higher place to stop, Hongchen saw the stone unicorn poked at the door at a glance, although the appearance became glamorous, but it was his own unicorn, there was nothing wrong at all.

The gates and walls are all covered with yellow charms.

The lanterns under the eaves are also carved with many runes, which are very formal.

Hongchen got out of the carriage and asked Luo Niang to lay a napkin under a big tree, sit on the ground, as soon as he sat down, he saw the door open, and a spirit master wearing a magic robe came out in embarrassment, covered with dust, covering his head, blood seeped out from his fingers, and the old man personally sent him, and the faces of the two people were not good-looking.

The spirit master was full of guilt: "I'm really sorry for you, my lord, it seems that I am shallow in knowledge, and I didn't see that there is such a big problem in your house, so I will go back to the master door to retreat when I go back today." ”

The old man sighed repeatedly. (To be continued.) )
