Jiang Yi's face was embarrassed by her words, and the hand resting on his knee grabbed the corner of his robe, and said hesitantly, "Yesterday, the Bai family came, Min Jing took Brother Lin to return to the house at night, saying that the fourth young master of the Bai family owed three thousand taels of silver to the gambling house, you know, they were orphans and widows in the second room, and in the past, the eldest lady of the Bai family had paid back the silver for Minjing's younger brother several times in the way of the face of the concubine, this time it was the popularity of the person who came to the door, and asserted that she would never care about them again, but there was only this one sister-in-law in the second room, and the second lady Bai had no way, so she asked for Min Jing, But we couldn't get that much silver for a while. ”

Di Lian realized in her heart that she had borrowed money, not to mention the shop next to her, just knowing that she had a restaurant like 'Diners', Jiang Yi would pull down her cheeks to open this mouth with her.

If it weren't for Dilian's second uncle who fell in love with his second uncle at first sight, and his maternal grandfather and maternal grandmother were enlightened people, the Bai family couldn't climb the Xie family at all. With a daughter like the second aunt, the Bai family entered the upper class nobles from a middle-class official eunuch in the capital.

Now Bai Ming, the head of the Bai family, is the eldest brother of the second uncle, since the Feng family is lonely, the Bai family occupies a position in the military department, and Bai Ming also replaced the previous Feng Xie's storage zài, becoming the new squire of the military department, and is the second-in-command of the military department.

In addition to Bai Ming's eldest brother, the second aunt also has a second brother, who is the father of Tillian's sister-in-law, but he died young, it is said that he died of tuberculosis because of excessive drinking, and after his death, there were orphans and widows left in the second room of the Bai family, and the second lady of Bai had only one son-in-law, and Tillian's sister-in-law was a concubine.

As a mother-in-law, for her son, she begged for a concubine, and it seemed that Second Mrs. Bai was indeed helpless.

In any case, three thousand taels of silver is indeed a drop in the bucket for Di Lian, but it can't just be borrowed, otherwise there will be two if there is one, wouldn't it be conniving at the fourth young master's worse loser if it goes on like this? If he is allowed to continue like this, Jiang Yi's small family will not want to live a good life.

Even if the fourth young master of the Bai family is a gambler, Di Lian also has a way to rectify it, and he never dares to touch the dice again.

Di Lian said that she would borrow this silver, but it would only be done if the fourth young master came over in person, Jiang Yi was a little puzzled, and after all, he didn't ask, and Ying Chengdao would bring him over tomorrow.

With a smile in her eyes, Tilian said slowly, "Let him come over tomorrow, and I will go to the eldest brother's 'Liu Zhai' to see him." ”

Her words have always had her truth, and Jiang Yi knew that Tilian never did nothing, so she nodded in response and left.

Qingwei sent Jiang Yi back, sighed and said, "Miss is to educate the fourth white son, and don't do too much, otherwise it will hurt the face of the eldest grandmother." ”

"Auntie, don't worry, I'm measured."

With a gentle smile, the green jaw is clear, and what Tillian decides never needs to be worried, and she is sure of what she decides.

Early the next morning, when Liu Junchen came over, Di Lian got up and went to Liuzhai.

Zuo Xiang's mansion is the five in and five out of the imperial gift, although it is not the most prominent among the current magnates, but it is also ranked first, there are not many masters in the house, so the places where they live are more concentrated, the pine garden is the center of the back house, the southwest turns three corridors is Jiang Li's 'Hezhai', and the southeast two corridors cross the rockery forest that is not big or small, it is Jiang Yi's 'Liu Zhai', 'Liu Zhai' and then turn north through a corridor, you can see the 'Zhuxuan' of the Song family and son who live temporarily.

Liu Junchen followed Tilian to 'Liu Zhai', and a few meters away, he saw a little maid standing outside the arch, and when he saw them coming, he hurriedly went in to pass the ceremony.

It wasn't until he stepped on the steps and entered the garden that Liu Junchen glanced at the simple and elegant 'Liu Zhai', and couldn't help asking, "Why did the girl remember to come here today." ”

Tilian smiled lightly and didn't speak, then she saw the little maid under the corridor open the curtain, and the sister-in-law Bai personally greeted her, she was wearing a red purple jacket and a smoky skirt, elegant and gentle, her eyebrows were delicate, and her appearance was not very good, but her gentle temperament was the most suitable for Jiang Yi.

"Sister, come into the house, it's a cold and snowy day, and I'm tired of you running." Bai's delicate face could not hide his shame, and he saluted Liu Junchen again, "Mr. Liu." ”

Liu Junchen took a step back and bowed, and said politely, "Grandma." ”

Di Lianyue smiled with her eyes, and while going up the stone steps, she looked at Bai Shi Dao, "Brother Lin'er is there?" ”

Hearing this, Bai Shi hurriedly smiled, "Yes, I heard yesterday that the uncle was going to go through the pine garden, so I pestered to go with the little aunt, but I stopped but cried." ”

Tilian lowered her head slightly and stepped into the door, and said with a smile, "I often go out, but I haven't seen Brother Lin for some days, and it's hard for him to still think about me." ”

When the words fell, the three of them all entered the house, and when they raised their eyes, they saw a man in a mediocre and thin purple brocade shirt standing on the side of the soft couch opposite, who was standing there looking at them nervously, and when they saw Di Lian and Liu Junchen looking over, they hurriedly lowered their heads and nodded, and called timidly, "Miss Jiang." ”

Seeing that he was a little frightened, Tillian couldn't help laughing in her heart, everyone said that gamblers are not afraid of death, but this person looked a little afraid of herself, maybe her reputation was too tough.

Seeing this, Liu Junchen raised his eyebrows, lowered his eyes and didn't make a sound.

Bai Shi led the two of them to sit down, and was instructing the maid to fetch some new refreshments, when he heard the sound of running in the back room, a boy of four or five years old in a gray shirt and white jacket rushed out and rushed straight to Tilian's legs.

"Auntie, auntie, did you come to see Brother Lin'er?"

Tilian stretched out her hand to hug him, and saw that he was cute with wide eyes, and couldn't help but bend her eyes, "Auntie came to see Brother Lin." ”

"Brother Lin." , Bai Shi reprimanded helplessly, stepped forward to grab him, "Forgot what Daddy said before he went out?" Is that little print finished? ”

Brother Lin twisted his little arm and shouted, "Write for a while, write for a while, and write for a while when my aunt leaves." ”

"Obedient, my mother and uncle will talk to my aunt, and I will come out when my brother finishes writing." , Bai coaxed him softly.

"If you don't leave, just stay with your aunt for a while." , Brother Lin pouted and looked unhappy, holding the corner of Tilian's cloak tightly with one hand and refusing to let go.

Bai's face was embarrassed, Di Lian chuckled when she saw this, stretched out her hand to take Brother Lin'er, and said clearly, "Sister-in-law, just let him stay for a while." ”

Bai sighed, and saw that Brother Lin'er's fangs were missing and she was in Di Lian's arms and refused to come out, she couldn't help but shake her head, her brother really didn't want Brother Lin to listen to these things, for fear of bringing Brother Lin'er.

Knowing her worries in her heart, Di Lian hugged Brother Lin, glanced at the fourth son of the Bai family, turned her head and said lightly to Liu Junchen, "The fourth prince of Bai has something to do, and he wants to borrow three thousand taels of silver, and I think I can't borrow it in vain." ”

Liu Junchen comprehended and said calmly, "There is a number of silver in the account, and the discrepancies and exits must be recorded. ”

When the fourth white prince heard this, he hurriedly nodded and said, "Miss Jiang, don't worry, this silver is borrowed, and he will definitely pay it back with interest in the future." Now, as long as he can repay the money in the gambling house and save half his life, he dares to guarantee anything.

Di Lian smiled lightly, looked at him and said, "You don't need to even bring interest, after all, everyone is a relative, and it is inevitable to be hurt and angry." ”

Bai Sigongzi's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he heard her continue, "I will give this silver to my sister-in-law, and let her hand it over to Mrs. Bai Er, and return it to the gambling house in person, so that Bai Sigongzi will not do it." ”

His face froze, and Bai Sigongzi nodded with a dry smile, what does this mean, can he still take this money in exchange for his life seriously?

"Sister-in-law." , Tilian looked sideways at Bai's, saw her raise her eyes and looked over, and then said, "This kind of thing can be done again, and it will definitely not be possible again and again, the sister-in-law is now the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zuo Xiangfu after all, if the fourth prince needs our help many times like this, and is known to outsiders, it will inevitably criticize my Xiangfu, I thought about it all night, and the best way is to quit the fourth son's gambling addiction." ”

"Quitted?" , Bai Shi looked strange, and glanced at Bai Sigongzi in disbelief.

Bai Sigongzi's face was not very good, and he secretly said in his heart, if he borrows silver, he can borrow it, and if he doesn't borrow it, he can find another place, why is he still nosy and don't gamble? Just thinking about it made him feel unhappy.

Without waiting for them to say anything, Tilian directly instructed Mr. Liu, "Since Bai Gongzi is a good gambler, you can take him to gamble enough." ”

This sentence is simply confusing, but Liu Junchen understood what Di Lian meant, bowed and said, "Yes." Then he looked at Bai Gongzi and said, "Childe, please follow your subordinates." ”

Bai Sigongzi looked at him and Tilian hesitantly, "Where are you going?" ”

Liu Junchen smiled mildly and said in a deep voice, "Gambling house." ”

Bai Shi was shocked, but when he saw Bai Sigongzi's uneasy but itchy face to move his steps to go with Liu Junchen, he couldn't help but turn pale in a hurry, "Fourth brother! ”

Di Lian called her in a clear voice, "Sister-in-law, I will ask Aunt Qingwei to send you the silver later, as for the matter of teaching the fourth son, you can rest assured that it will be handed over to Mr. Liu, he is the best at disciplining people." “

Watching the two leave, Bai Shi's heart was uneasy, and he frowned and said to Di Lian, "How can this be done, my sister didn't say that she wanted him to quit gambling, how could she let people take him to the gambling house." ”

Tilian stroked her brother's head, got up and smiled, "Didn't he want to gamble?" Then let him gamble until he doesn't want to gamble anymore. ”

"Auntie, when was that?" Brother Lin raised his head and asked curiously, even if he didn't know much what this 'bet' was, he still couldn't hide the child's curiosity, and wanted to know how long it would take for a person to turn something he liked into something he didn't like.

"When he vomits at the thought of dice, he naturally won't gamble." , Tillian smiled lightly, and said to Bai, "Sister-in-law is busy, I'll go first." ”

Bai Shi was stunned, suppressed the anxiety and hesitation in his heart, and took Brother Lin'er to send her out.

Since that day, Bai Sigongzi was sent back to his house every day after dark, and he was picked up at dawn, from the initial expression of unfinished to the last tiredness and panic, it only took half a month.

Mr. Liu's method of disciplining him is very simple, he will be locked in the gambling house all day, and a special person will be sent to keep an eye on him, except for eating, drinking, and Lazar can leave the position, and the rest of the time will be gambling, even if he is tired of gambling, he is not allowed to withdraw and rest, gambling is a kind of fun for Bai Sigongzi, but now it is a kind of work that is forced to be done.

When someone forces you to do something, although you are not disgusted by the thing itself, your own rebellious psychology will have the opposite effect, and the mentality of looking at this matter is different.

It was this psychology that Tilian grasped and forced Bai Sigongzi to get tired of gambling, so he naturally wouldn't go again.

Of course, these are all later words, Di Lian left 'Liu Zhai' and went straight to Changting, and today she has to go to Yunhou Mansion.
