Xiaoqiu smiled at Caiyun, "Miss, why did you recognize us so quickly?" ”

"Nonsense, you have followed me for more than ten years, and I will not admit my mistake even if you turn to ashes. What's more, I changed the skin bag. ”

Xiao Xia laughed and said, "Miss,." Why do you say it so ugly, we don't want to die yet. Isn't it convenient to wear men's clothes to keep up with your uncle? ”

Caiyun smiled and threatened: "Tell me quickly, did you lose your uncle and come to me to ask for sin." ”

Xiao Xia said solemnly, "By the way, Miss, my uncle went to the gambling house again today." ”

"Went to the gambling house again, how many silver taels did he lose?"

"This time I lost three hundred taels of silver."

"Has he lost more than once this time?" Caiyun asked in surprise.

"I heard from the shopkeeper of the gambling house, my uncle also went there yesterday and lost two hundred taels of silver."

"Where did he get the money to gamble? Could it be that my father-in-law gave it? ”

Xiaoqiu explained: "Miss, my uncle doesn't have any silver, I heard the owner of the gambling house say that my uncle lost the silver, just write down the IOU, and the lost silver taels will be repaid by Li Shangshu's son, Li Fugui." ”

"Why did he pay off his uncle's gambling debts?"

"The slave doesn't know either, so why does Li Fugui pay off his gambling debts for his uncle."

"You said Li Fugui is Shangshu's son?"

Xiao Qiu hurriedly corrected: "Miss, it was the owner of the gambling house who said it. ”

Lu Caiyun suddenly thought of something, "No matter what the reason, he has no reason to pay off Chen Bo's gambling debts, unless it is"

"Miss, unless what?" The two maids asked.

Caiyun smiled: "I'm just guessing, it's not necessarily accurate, let's go home!" ”

Caiyun asked Lu Bo to take thirty taels of silver from the account, put it in his purse, and asked the two maids to change back into their daughter's clothes, and the three of them went back to the Imperial History Mansion together.

After returning home, Lu Caiyun went to his father-in-law first, and heard the little maid say that his father-in-law was in the study, Caiyun hurriedly came to the study, and saw Chen Yushi practicing calligraphy, and hurriedly said: "Daughter-in-law, see Daddy." ”

Chen Yushi raised his head when he heard someone coming in, and saw Lu Caiyun saluting him. Hurriedly said, "Excuse me!" Xiaoyun, do you have something to do with me? ”

Lu Caiyun opened his purse, took out thirty taels of silver, handed it to his father-in-law, and said, "Daddy, I'm here to return the silver to you." ”

Chen Yushi said embarrassedly: "I'm not busy, the gift money I received yesterday is enough for the expenses of the house, I was talking about redeeming your pair of bracelets and giving it to you." ”

"Father-in-law, did you receive a lot of gift money yesterday?"

Chen Yushi said puzzledly: "Well, those people's return gifts are double, such as Li Shangshu, we gave him a jade Ruyi, and he also gave us a pair." ”

Caiyun looked at Chen Yushi and said, "Father-in-law, have you thought about it, why did they give us double the gift money?" ”

Chen Yushi analyzed: "I think it may be related to my official position. ”

"Daddy, that's right, if you weren't the imperial historian and changed to another official position, would they still give us double the gift money? Definitely not. ”

"Xiaoyun, what do you mean?"

Caiyun analyzed: "Daddy, as the saying goes, being a thief has a weak heart, if they didn't do anything wrong, why should they give us more gifts, they are not stupid." ”

"You mean they did something corrupt and perverted?"

"I'm not sure either. But I always felt that they couldn't give us more money for nothing. Don't say that they get along well with our family, why didn't you see them so generous when you were the prefect. And the Li Shangshu you mentioned actually asked his son to help the prime minister pay off his gambling debts. ”

"Xiaobo went to gamble again?"

"Well, I went there yesterday, and today I didn't go to Zhuangzi to help under the pretext of being unwell, and I went to the gambling house again, I asked Xiaoqiu to follow him, and I knew that he had been to the gambling house in the past two days."

"You said Li Fugui was helping him pay off his gambling debts."

Caiyun thought for a while and said, "Well, the owner of the gambling house said that he has always been Li Shangshu's son and is helping Xianggong pay off his gambling debts." ”

"How many taels of silver did he lose?"

"Five hundred taels."

Chen Yushi asked worriedly; "Did you get the handle in their hands?"

"The owner of the gambling house said that Li Gongzi collected all the IOUs written by the minister."

Chen Yushi analyzed: "It seems that they came prepared, seized Xiaobo's gambling temperament, and set up a trap for him to drill into." ”

Caiyun asked worriedly, "Daddy, how should we deal with it?" ”

"Don't startle the snake first, let Xiaobo go to the gambling house to gamble tomorrow as usual, anyway, someone will pay him off his gambling debts."

"But what about the IOU?"

"Don't worry, I have a way to deal with it, tomorrow morning, when the dynasty comes, I will take the gift money to the emperor and donate it to the affected areas. It happened that there was a locust plague in the Tianyuan area, and the crops in the field were not harvested. ”

The corners of Lu Caiyun's mouth twitched, thinking to himself what a good way to do, and give away the silver in his hand for nothing. It's a pity for his pair of jade bracelets. "But Daddy, you donated the gift money to the disaster-stricken areas, wouldn't the old and young in the house want to drink the northwest wind."

Chen Yushi comforted Caiyun: "Don't worry, I will only donate the extra part." ”

"That's fine." Caiyun breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that his pair of jade bracelets had fallen again.

Chen Yushi suddenly asked, "Xiaoyun, what do you think about donating silver?" ”

Let Caiyun say that of course Caiyun didn't want him to donate silver, but he had to express his approval, so he said: "I think Daddy is right, money is something outside the body, you can't bring it in life, and you can't bring it in death." What's more, those gifts do not belong to us in the first place, and donating them to the disaster-stricken areas can not only save people, but also make a reputation for honesty. ”

Chen Yushi sighed and said: "It's still Xiaoyun, who knows how to read and understand, and knows the general situation, unlike Xiaobo and his mother, who know that when they see money, I have to discuss it with her, otherwise I will complain non-stop." ”

Caiyun smiled: "I believe that as long as Daddy moves with reason, knows with affection and is patient and enlightened, and then tells Sù Mother-in-law about the stakes, she will definitely support you to donate silver." ”

"I hope so!"

"Daddy, if nothing happens, my daughter-in-law will retire."

"Wait a little cloud, I still have one more thing."

"Daddy, please tell me something."

Chen Yushi thought for a while and said: "Xiaoyun, you indulge Xiaobo for a few days, let him get over his addiction first, and when the time is ripe, go to the gambling house to make a fuss, then the gambling house owner must have colluded with Li Fugui, otherwise Xiaobo can only lose and not win, and lose five hundred taels of silver in two days." ”

"Daddy, the analysis is right, Xiaoyun also has this intention." Lu Caiyun grinned, let herself go to the gambling house, and was not afraid that she would fall into the reputation of a shrew-
