Under the guidance of the boy in the first place, the carriage swayed all the way into the small alley, and not far away, it arrived at the Dadechang Casino.

Third Sister You half lifted the curtain and looked out, only to see that the name of the casino was magnanimous, but the door face was shabby and desolate - a tattered and pickled cyan cloth was provoked by a rotten wood corroded by wind and rain, hanging crookedly at the door, and the two dilapidated doors were open inward, showing the appearance of black inside, and the shouts of gamblers and dealers were faintly heard from inside. On each side of the gate stood a stout man with a fierce face, like two door gods, staring viciously at the gamblers shuttling in and out of the door with his eyes like two fishes.

A man's scolding mixed with the noise of the woman crying and the child's crying gradually approached from a distance, and the second sister and the third sister followed the prestige, only to see a middle-aged man in dirty short brown dragging a woman in her twenties with her left hand, and a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl with her right hand hurriedly walked over, and behind them, there was a little brother of four or five years old who stumbled after him. kept crying in his mouth and called "Mother, Sister......"

The middle-aged man in short brown clothes walked to the door of the casino, pushed the woman and the little girl in his hand forward, and then rubbed his hands together with a smile on his face and begged: "Please also ask the two brothers to be accommodating, I really don't have any money in my hands." How about taking my Hun family and my daughter to Zheng Dong's house for money? ”

Before a word was spoken, the woman dragged the little girl to her knees and cried, knowing in her mouth: "The masters should be merciful." It's good if you sell me, don't sell my daughter. My daughter is only thirteen years old this year, and she will have to get married in the future...... Gentlemen, show mercy...... I prostrate to you, and bless you with a long life......

When the thirteen-year-old girl saw this, she also snuggled up to her mother's side, her eyes full of tears, and her dirty little face was full of panic and despair.

The four or five-year-old brother took advantage of the situation and also threw himself on the woman's body and cried endlessly. The middle-aged gambler in short brown saw it, and became more and more scolded, dragging the woman's hair back violently, and the woman fell to the ground unsteadily, and before she could react, the middle-aged gambler had already slapped and exhaled, and scolded in his mouth: "Make you cry, make you cry, you cry all day long, and cry all the good luck of Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will sell you for gambling today." It's not just you, but even the money-losing goods you gave birth to are sold together, and you save yourself staying at home all day to sweep away my bad luck......"

The second sister was lying on the window of the car and watching this scene, she was frightened, sat down in the carriage with a pale face, and immediately threw herself into Chen's arms, shouting in her mouth, "Mom, I'm so scared." ”

When Chen saw this scene, his face was already angry, and he was fighting chaotically. One wall held the second sister in his arms, and the other wall shouted that the boys who followed the car stepped forward to stop him.

The subordinates of You Mansion were also indignant, and when they heard Mrs. Command, they hurriedly stepped forward to scold. The mothers-in-law who followed the car couldn't help but chirp: "I've never seen such a shameless man as you." I can't protect my wife and children, and I have to sell them with my own hands, are you sorry? ”

When the middle-aged gambler heard this, he didn't care. Looking at the extraordinary clothes and ornaments of the people under the You family, he expected that this must be the family members of a large family who couldn't see it and come out to fight the grievances. Deng Shi salivated and said with a smile on his face: "You are all nobles, you eat and drink spicy food on weekdays, and your hair is thicker than our waist, so you naturally don't feel a backache when you stand and talk." Since you feel sorry for my daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law, it is better for you to pay off the debts for me, then I will not sell them. Or if you pay to buy my daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law, even if you take it home to be a maid-in-law, I will be happy, right? ”

At that time, the crying and scolding at the door of the casino had already attracted the attention of people on the street. Hearing that the middle-aged gambler was so scoundrel, he didn't feel like pointing fingers. When the mother-in-law of the You family heard this, she was amused and angry, but she didn't know how to answer correctly for a while. When he was in a dilemma, he only heard a crisp voice in the carriage and said with a smile: "...... After all these years of living, this is the first time I have seen such a shameless person as you. If you want to sell your wife and daughter, I, an outsider, naturally can't control it. However, according to the laws of our dynasty, it is against the law to sell the son of a good family as a lowly person without permission. Believe it or not, if you sold your wife and daughter, I will sue you to the yamen after I turn around. I don't believe in the truth of heaven, and I can't cure you of a scoundrel! ”

As soon as the words fell, the onlookers on the street applauded. There are still people who don't think it's a big deal to see the excitement and shout: "Yes, if he dares to sell his mother-in-law and daughter, let's sue him to the yamen." When the time comes, let the eldest master punish him for his sins and beat him on the board. ”

When the scoundrel gambler heard this, he could not help but be shocked. Deng Shi said inwardly: "That's my mother-in-law and my daughter, I haven't heard that it is illegal to sell my daughter!" You don't coax me. ”

Third Sister You sneered when she heard this, but she didn't answer. However, the boys of the You family and the car were narrow-minded by nature, and they laughed and said: "If you don't believe it, it's okay, just try it." ”

As he spoke, even the casino owner and the gamblers in the casino heard the movement, and those who had good deeds came out to watch. Among them was Zhang Hua, who came from school, and when he saw the carriage of You Mansion at the door, his face changed.

Zheng Dongjia, the owner of the casino, is also a trader. On weekdays, I walk back and forth to give gifts and beg for affection, and naturally I have some eyesight. Seeing that the master and servant of the You family were all dressed as wealthy slaves in new clothes, their faces changed when they came, for fear that they would make a big fuss and attract people in the government, so they frowned and said: "Noble people, the villain is a casino, and the door is open to all directions. There has never been human trafficking. I also hope that the nobles will understand that it is a small business, but it will not alarm the government. ”

After that, he said to the middle-aged gambler with a cold face: "...... I said Wang is lame, we are a casino, not a Qinglou kiln, so I don't care about you selling your wife and daughter. If you have money, we can play in the casino, and if you don't have money, you can't afford to drag your family here to make trouble. It makes it seem like we're the bad guys who force the good to be prostitutes, isn't that a bit unauthentic? ”

When the lame king heard this, he hurriedly bowed down to make amends, but only said that he sold his wife and daughter willingly, in order to repay his debts. Since he owes the casino a debt, it is reasonable that he can't afford to pay off the money and compensate his daughter. “…… As the saying goes, it is natural to repay debts, even if you are a nobleman's family, you can't take care of other people's family affairs, right? ”

Third Sister You sat in the carriage, listening to Wang's lame and shameless words, and she was so angry that she almost laughed out loud. His eyes swept over Zhang Hua in the crowd again, and he didn't feel his heart move. Turning his head and whispering a few words to Chen, Chen looked at the third sister suspiciously for a while, and then asked, "You, can you do it?" ”

"Mom, don't worry." Third Sister You couldn't wait to pat her chest and swear. Seeing this, although Chen knew that it was inappropriate, he was very angry at the king's lame behavior, so he nodded in response, because he said: "Be careful in your actions, so you can remember that you are a girl." ”

Third Sister You nodded with a smile, turned around and lifted the curtain to get off the carriage. When the little ladies who followed the car saw it, they were startled. was about to say something, but was glared at by Third Sister You'er with a threat, and they all stood in place and didn't dare to speak.

Third Sister You shook the paper fan lightly, and said with a graceful smile: "You keep accusing us of bullying others, and you shouldn't take care of your family affairs." In this case, I have an idea, you have a chance to get money, and you don't have to sell your wife and daughter, do you think you think it? ”

As the saying goes, a nephew is like an uncle, although the third sister You is a daughter, Chen and Chen Qi are brothers and sisters, and their appearance is naturally seven points similar. What's more, the third sister You came through time, not the old-fashioned boudoir woman, and she has been with Chen Qi since she was a child, and at the moment she is wearing a long shirt and a hand-cranked paper fan, she has a romantic and comfortable attitude when talking and laughing. is more like Chen Jue's biological son than Chen Ju.

When he boarded, everyone on the street was dazzled, and he couldn't help but secretly say, "What a beautiful son." ”

The lame king saw that Third Sister You was so good-looking, and he also knew that he was not the son and brother of an ordinary family. There was already seven points of cowardice in my heart. Hearing that Third Sister You said this, she could only ask stubbornly, "...... What's the idea? ”

When Third Sister You heard this, she smiled, folded a fan in her hand and lit up the dark gambling house, and said with a smile in her mouth: "Since you are a gambler, you don't even want the dignity of being a man to abandon your wife and daughter for the sake of gambling." Let's roll the dice to determine the winner or loser. Ten taels for a game, the first game bet on your wife, if I lose, the silver will be yours, if I win, you are not allowed to mention the sale of your wife, nor are you allowed to beat her for no reason, and make her angry. The second game is a bet on your daughter, and the rules are the same as the previous one. The third game...... Let's bet on your hands and feet, and if you win, count the first twenty taels of silver, and I will give you a total of thirty taels. If you lose......"

When Third Sister You said this, her eyes coldly glanced at Wang's lame hands, "Your hands and legs belong to me." You can temporarily store zài on your body, and you will have to earn money honestly with your hands from now on. If you dare to step into the place of the gambling house again, I will have your legs and hands broken and thrown under the walls of the city to beg for a living, and the money you earn will be provided for your parents, wife, and children. Besides, regardless of whether you win or lose the game, I will help you pay off the money you owe to the gambling house this time, what do you think? ”

Before a word fell, the crowd on the street was already applauding.

The lame Wang listened to Third Sister You'er's words, and his expression was obscure. First, he was really afraid of Third Sister You'er's power and wealth, and his ruthless methods, but secondly, he was tickled by the thirty taels of silver that Third Sister You said and the promise to pay back the money for him regardless of whether he won or lost.

After thinking about it, the king gritted his teeth and said stiffly: "Okay, I promise!" ”

Seeing this, the owner of Da Dechang had no choice. I had to bow down and invite everyone in. Before he finished speaking, he was already cut off by the descendants of the You family, pointing at Zheng Dong's nose and scolding: "...... What a noble man our master is, where will he enter your pickled place? Say it again, believe it or not, I directly demolished your Da Dechang! ”

When Zheng Dongjia heard this, he had to give up his hand with a bitter face, and stretched out his hand and gently fanned his mouth, constantly begging for mercy in his mouth.

Third Sister You smiled slightly, not impressed. The folding fan in his hand turned around casually, then pointed to the front of him, and ordered with a smile: "You smell pickled there, and the light is dim, so I won't go in." Tell someone to bring a quiet table, and bring a pair of your dice. ”

When Zheng Dongjia heard this, he had to bow down and agree. He turned his head and ordered the thug servants of the casino to go in and move the tables and chairs. Here, Third Sister You ordered someone to take a pen and paper, and made an agreement with the rotten gambler in black and white.

Seeing this, the onlookers on the street became more and more curious. They all approached and came forward to watch. The little mothers-in-law of the You family were afraid that there would be too many people to collide with the girl, so they had to step forward to stop them. That Zhang Hua originally wanted to take this opportunity to sneak away. But he didn't want Third Sister You to have already ordered people to keep an eye on him all the time.

Seeing him pull out, the kid who had been following him hurriedly stepped forward, with a smile on his face, and said lukewarmly: "The son of the Zhang family stays." Our little host, please wait a moment. ”

Seeing this, Zhang Hua had no choice but to stand still. But I didn't think about it, but I was held down and patted on the shoulder. When he turned around, he saw four or five decently dressed lords and sons of the family standing in front of him. Behind him were a dozen or so sturdy men who didn't look easy to mess with.

Zhang Hua was stunned, and saw that the young man who patted him on the shoulder, who was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a handsome face, clear eyes, and two small dimples when he smiled, pointed to the crowd that had already surrounded him, and asked with a smile: "Dare to ask this son...... Whose son-in-law do you know the young man who made the bet? ”

When Zhang Hua heard this, he was stunned again. Before he could speak, the little guy of the You family who was following him on the side had already changed his face, and he grabbed in front of Zhang Hua and said: "I hope the son will forgive me, this is my family's private matter, and my family's master teaches his son strictly, if he knows that the little master is acting like this outside, he must reprimand the young master." Therefore, it is not good to preach everywhere. ”

"Oh?" When the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy heard this, he immediately smiled and asked, "Then what if I have to know?" ”

The young man looked young, but his bearing was extraordinary. This sentence fell, even though the young man was still smiling, it seemed that the air around him was suffocated because of this.

And the four old men who stood behind the young man who didn't look like ordinary people were even more smiling, as if they were looking at the You family and Zhang Hua with a good show. The dozen or so big men who followed behind these four or five people also faintly surrounded them as if they were inadvertent.

Suddenly, the momentum of not being angry and arrogant actually forced the You family and Zhang Hua to break out in a cold sweat. At the critical moment, the little servant of the You family flashed coldly, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "The little one is also thinking about the young master, I am afraid that the young master will be punished by the master." Since the nobles have to know, the little ones don't dare to hide it. The young master of my family is the only son of Chen Jue, the fourth member of the dynasty, and the old man Chen's family-Chen Huan. ”

As soon as the sentence fell, the dimple boy who had just forced the two of them to laugh out loud couldn't help laughing. After laughing for a while, the young man asked again: "But I heard that Chen Zizhang's son-in-law is seventeen years old this year, and he participated in the Autumn Festival in August, but it's a pity that he didn't do it...... Do you mean to say that the little man in the crowd is seventeen years old? ”

One sentence debunked the lies of the You family, and the You family had already broken into a cold sweat. knew that since this group of people knew everything about the Chen family, they had to recognize the three girls. Just as he was about to say something, an elegant man in his thirties who had been beside him who had not spoken waved his hand and said slowly: "That's it." Since this little guy insists on saying that the person inside is the son of Zizhang's family, why should the twelfth brother be aggressive, and the bad guy has a good reputation. I'll just assume that person is a kid from the Chen family. ”

When the young man known as the Twelfth Brother heard this, he frowned, turned around and smiled, "Where do I want to embarrass him?" I just think this family has a bit of a fate with us. I can see it once in a while. Every time I see it, I can see some strange things and strange people. Do you say yes or no? ”

The elegant man who had taken the lead in persuading the young man heard this, and he smiled bitterly.

When everyone was chatting and talking, I suddenly heard a roar of applause from the crowd.

When the people heard this, they stopped talking and ordered someone to come forward to inquire about it. When the man came back and reported according to the order, it turned out to be Third Sister You Seeing that the gambling table and gambling equipment were properly arranged, she ordered the lame king to come forward and gamble with her.

The first time the bet was on investment, which was bigger, and the lame king gritted his teeth and shouted at him to throw out five, five or six, and he laughed out loud. Where did you think that Third Sister You only put three dice in the palm of her hand, and threw out a six-point leopard at will. In the first game, it was naturally You Sanjie who won.

In the second game, it was smaller, and the king was lame and rolled up his sleeves to throw out three ones, and when he got there, he thought he had won, and he couldn't help laughing arrogantly. Unexpectedly, the third sister You was still tepid, so she tossed the dice at random, and even stacked the three dice together, only throwing out a little. Everyone was surprised when they saw this, and they applauded.

At this time, the lame king knew that he had met a master, and he was already sweating profusely. Where can I still take care of the dignity of Third Sister You'er's identity, and shouted that it was the casino that started a fire with Third Sister You to smoke a thousand to calculate him. When he was making a commotion, a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy came out of the crowd, with a sword behind him and a sword in his hand, and when he arrived at the table, he did not speak, but drew the sword in his hand and slashed at the three dice on the table.

The young man picked up the dice and asked directly on Wang's lame face, and sneered in his mouth: "There is a way to be willing to gamble and lose." Let's see if these dice are fake? Your own skills are not as good as others, why do you frame others, but people look down on you more and more. ”

The lame king saw the young man jumping out and swinging his sword and slashing, thinking that the young man intended to cut him, he was already so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, and almost didn't pee his pants. Hearing this, Deng Shi Zi raised a face and asked, "Who are you, and what does this matter have to do with you?" ”

When the young man heard this, he clenched his fists and said, "People passing by, seeing injustice, naturally want to draw their swords to help." You scoundrel bastard, you make an appointment to gamble, how can you lose two games and scream and scold and frame the reputation of others? It can be seen that you are not only a bad character, but also a poor gambling product, and you are really a vain person. ”

The king was lame and embarrassed by the young man's two words, but he was afraid that the young man would hurt people with his sword the most, so he had to turn his head and not reason with her. Seeing this, the young man sneered. Immediately, he turned his head and hugged his fist at Third Sister You and said, "I passed by here and saw this incident. I admire the righteous deeds of the son very much. I saw that the scoundrel kept framing the son, and I really couldn't help it. Please forgive me for the abrupt and unruly encounters. ”

Seeing this, Third Sister You had to smile bitterly and clench her fists in return. The lame king saw that the dice were cut in half by the young man, and he thought that he couldn't compare to the third sister You when he played the dice, so he clamored to push pai gow.

When Third Sister You heard this, she smiled more and more bitterly and shook her head. Guy had a coincidence in her previous life, although she had also practiced a few hands. But the best things she played were dice and mahjong. As for things like pai gow...... She's not going to be okay at all, is she?

Therefore, Third Sister You didn't pay attention to Wang's lame jumping feet, and still ordered the casino to take the dice. When Wang lame saw this, he knew that Third Sister You would definitely not push pai gow, and she became more and more noisy. Posing as a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, he said that he would not gamble, and when the time comes, he will still sell his mother-in-law and daughter to the kiln, and he can sell a few more taels of silver. Anyway, this dynasty governs the world with filial piety, and even the emperor Lao Tzu can't care about his father selling his daughter...... The third sister was tired for a while.

Seeing this, the young man who had just rushed out also guessed something. Hurriedly arched his hand and smiled: "If the son doesn't give up, I will know a little about it." How about betting on this last game for the next child? ”

At this point, the young man smiled again, "I broke the dice anyway." Now that I am fighting for my son, it is reasonable. ”

Third Sister You'er's behavior was just a despicable act that didn't please the king's lameness, and she was often depressed at home, and she was also a little whimsical for a while. Hearing what the young man said, he pondered for a while, and then agreed.

He arched his hand to the boy, took a few steps back and gave up his position to the boy.

Unexpectedly, when the king saw this, he became more and more reluctant. The young man didn't have such a good temper as Third Sister You, and as soon as the sword in his hand turned, the king was lame and noticed a cold front on his neck. I saw the young man raise his eyebrows and ask: "Either make a bet with me, or I will directly pick your tendons and tendons with a sword, and I will only pay you a few taels of silver." Do you choose for yourself? ”

Wang lame eats hard rather than soft, and when he saw the young man like this, he was already so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, and he responded dejectedly. For a while, the two gambled on Pai Gow, but this Wang was lame and lost worse than the others.

Seeing this, Third Sister You waved her hand with a smile, and the little maid standing on the side naturally stepped forward and paid off the money that Wang lame owed to the gambling house according to the agreement. He also took out ten taels of silver and said to the king's lame daughter-in-law, "I gave you these ten taels of silver, go back and buy some land to buy and sell, so that you can have children and live a good life." If that person embarrasses you again, you will go directly to the Chen Mansion to find me, and I will help you directly abolish that scoundrel......"

After that, he told the woman the address of Chen Qi's residence and official position. And said to Wang lame: "Although our Chen family will not bully others. But if someone breaks his promise, we will not have to punish him according to the agreement. I hope you are doing it yourself. ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw that the young man who had just come to help had arrived, hugged his fists and smiled: "In Xia Liu Xianglian." I don't know the name of this son? ”
