59. Gambling house (one change)
Shopkeeper Li was counting this month's income on the counter, only to hear a soft "Shopkeeper Li" sounding in front of him, and as soon as he looked up, he saw that Miss Five was actually in front of him: "Miss, why are you here?" Come in! ”
Shopkeeper Li hurriedly put down the account book in his hand, bowed down and asked Sheng Xue to go to the back room. Laifengge's business in Shengjing is bigger than that of Luzhou, and it has opened several branches, and Li's shopkeeper is the head office. The interior display layout is several times more solemn than that of Luzhou.
The multi-treasure grid in the house is full of valuable objects. Sheng Xue saw that he walked to the chair of Huanghuali and sat down, and the young man immediately offered the dragon well before the rain. The wealth of the Bai family is the nobility revealed in the bones. and those portals that erupted overnight, in the end, the difference between heaven and earth.
"Shopkeeper Li, you have been in Shengjing for a long time, how is the relationship in Shengjing?"
"Miss Hui, but everyone who has something to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion avoids the Bai family, and Lai Fengge's business in Shengjing is not so easy now. Although Miss's secret recipe is good, there are more and more fakes in the world, and it is impossible to tell them from the outside. Shopkeeper Li said worriedly.
"It's the Prime Minister's Mansion again." Sheng Xue frowned slightly. She can't be suppressed by the Prime Minister's Mansion like a target. "From today onwards, all the branches of Laifeng Pavilion will be closed one by one. I'll limit you to three months. ”
"Fifth Miss, why is that? Although we are now suppressed, the small ones have the ability to get the business back, and if they don't believe it, the small ones can make a note. "Shopkeeper Li is in a hurry, Lai Feng Pavilion finally has a little foundation in Shengjing, how can it be easily ruined.
"Shopkeeper, do you know the truth of gecko's broken tail to survive, rather than always being a thorn in the prime minister's side, I should learn from that gecko." Sheng Xue saw that she put down the teacup, and her tone was full of meaning.
"What do you mean, Miss?" Shopkeeper Li understood, and he didn't plan to continue to persuade Sheng Xue to see it, but Sheng Xue saw what he thought next, and Shopkeeper Li couldn't guess it in his heart, so he had to ask clearly.
"This place is the most secret place. If the prime minister is powerful, he must have a handle. I need to know all of this. Sheng Xuejian's eyes looked at Shopkeeper Li, and suddenly became deep. Shopkeeper Li's body was shocked: "The little one understands." ”
A month later, Shengjing's Laifeng Pavilion fell one after another, until finally even the main store was closed. The people in Shengjing all sighed that since Bai Wuye disappeared, all the rooms of the Bai family have declined.
Uncle Bai and Second Master Bai couldn't keep their family wealth, and the wealth and wealth were also swept away by them. Now he has become an ordinary rich family, living on his family's land, and he has long lost his former wealth.
At the same time, Shengjing's Fengyue Casino, a dragon that has no end in sight, is very popular in Beijing. No one knows where the moon-chasing gambling house is, and they are not high-ranking officials and nobles, so they are not qualified to go to the moon-chasing gambling house at all. The people of Beijing have been to the moon-chasing gambling house to show the nobility of their status.
Today is the day of rest, Sheng Xue saw that she was practicing hairpin in the room, and the nurse was amusing the little master by the bedside. In the past month, she disguised herself as a man to plan a moon-chasing gambling house, and almost smashed most of her mother's dowry into it. In order to build the most mysterious and safe gambling house.
Only the most mysterious and safe places will attract those dignitaries to come, because each of those dignitaries has secrets hidden in their bodies. Those people didn't know where the moon chasing casino was, and the more those people believed it.
Because the place where they can't even find it is the safest place in the world. No one could have imagined where the Moon Chasing Gambling House was built, and even the guys and singers in the gambling house didn't know. They were taken to the gambling house at night, and at dawn they were knocked unconscious and sent elsewhere.
Such a gambling house requires a large amount of gold and silver investment. Otherwise, it is impossible to complete a huge hide. But soon, Sheng Xuejian had already received a report. Who are the henchmen of the prime minister's faction, these people are gradually surfacing in the moon-chasing gambling house.
What Sheng Xue didn't expect was the greed of these people, everyone who came to the moon chasing gambling house was a big deal, and there were not a few people who laughed, but it was conceivable that they all drank the blood and sweat of the people.
Many officials choose to discuss matters in the moon chasing gambling house, because everyone here wears masks, absolute security and absolute secrecy. In every room of the moon-chasing gambling house, shocking conspiracies are brewing, and major events are happening.
"Fifth Miss, the third young lady of the Xueyi Hou Mansion has given you a post." The nurse came in with the post, and Bai He looked at Sheng Xue with some strange eyes.
"Sister Siyan used to spend the summer in Luzhou, and she treated me very well." Sheng Xuejian explained as she reached out and took the post. Bai He nodded and said: "The family of military generals of the Hou Mansion in Xueyi, the children of the Hou Mansion are all bold and righteous, and the most important thing is that they are not the prime minister's faction. ”
Speaking of which, after Fan Siyan returned to Shengjing, he had been using the rouge gouache from Fengge, and suddenly came to Fengge's family to close. Fan Siyan felt bad, and only after inquiring did he know that something had happened to the Sheng family.
As soon as she thought of the Sheng family's faces, she became more and more worried about Sheng Xuejian's safety, and sent someone to Luzhou to inquire only to find out that Sheng Xuejian had actually arrived in Shengjing, so she didn't hurry up and post.
"Sister Siyan asked me to go to the Hou Mansion today to enjoy the lotus." Sheng Xuejian handed the post to her aunt. Now her aunt is like her own mother, and she has become accustomed to asking her aunt's permission before doing things. Bai He nodded and said: "Third Lady is worthy of deep friendship, if you want to break into the circle of Shengjing's nobles, she is indispensable to take care of her." Let Haruka Mama back up your gifts and arrange the carriage and horses. ”
"I've already thought of a gift, so my aunt doesn't have to worry about it." Sheng Xue smiled when she saw it, turned her head and ordered the nurse to change her clothes.
When the carriage arrived at the door of the Hou Mansion, there was already a grandmother waiting at the door of the third lady, and when she saw Sheng Xue's carriage coming, she hurriedly stepped forward to greet her: "Miss Sheng Wu, our young lady has been waiting for a long time, please come with the slave." ”
The Hou Mansion is naturally much larger than the Changping Bo Mansion, but Sheng Xue is used to seeing the huge size of Prince Gong's Mansion, so he is not surprised. She obediently followed behind her grandmother and walked towards Fan Siyan's boudoir.
On the way here, Mama Chunxiang told herself that the Xueyi Hou family has a big business, and the third lady is the most loved by the Xueyi Hou.
"Miss, the fifth lady of the Sheng family has arrived." Before Mama finished speaking, Fan Siyan leaned over and grabbed Sheng Xuejian's hand: "I haven't seen you for many days, Xue has lost a lot of weight." (To be continued.) )
