131. Gambling house
Qinghua tiptoed Mo Lan out, for fear of disturbing her.
Xianyun was secretly glad that the second grandmother was not directly involved in these things. Although she didn't fully accept the second grandmother in her heart, she gradually liked to get along with straightforward people like the second grandmother, and she could see He Shuixin's shadow, enthusiasm, and warmth. Thinking quietly, it was so unclear when Mo Lan left.
The second master and the second master didn't intend to accept them sincerely from the beginning, she chuckled helplessly, yes, how could she and the seventh master really want to become a family, but now that the matter is coming, her heart is still uncomfortable. In the message of Mo Lan's report, the second grandmother just pawned some jewelry, purchased good fields and Zhuangzi, and did it without the uncle and the second master, but the second master and the second master jointly performed today's big play, I really thought she was a cash cow, she wanted as much as she wanted, and she gave it without ambiguity on weekdays, I really thought she was willing to give it.
Xianyun thought that her eyes were cold, and she changed her clothes and went back to her parents' house.
Xianyun entered the red lacquered gate of the General's Mansion and walked very slowly all the way. Don't be in a hurry, I still feel familiar when I see you today, the Marquis of Jingqi Mansion and her father are not politically right, and her position in the Marquis of Jingqi Mansion is embarrassing, so as not to bring trouble to her parents, so she has rarely interacted, she really can't do this today, and she still needs her mother's help.
told me the ins and outs of the family and asked, "Mother, can you help me check which gambling house it is?" Such a large amount of money, the average small gambling house is afraid that it will not be successful. ”
Quan suddenly became angry, and reprimanded: "What should I say about you, it's no wonder that my mother didn't teach you, this kind of thing that gives people money can best raise harm, even if you want to give, you have to give it very reluctantly, there must be a suitable reason, you wait, I will send someone to ask, it would be better if it was in our gambling house." The last remark was to comfort the little daughter, and if that were the case, the housekeeper would have come to tell her sooner rather than later.
However, there are several gambling houses in Beijing, and they can all be avoided, but it is a coincidence, Quan looked at the little daughter with a worried face, and pressed the doubts in his heart, or wait for any news to be found.
"Thank you, mother, in fact, this silver daughter is there, but as my mother said, this matter can no longer be connived upon, the big house, the third room looks down on people, and now even the second room, which has always been low-key, has ridden on my head, and there is no one in our Ge family!" Xianyun said angrily, habitually pulling the corners of Quan's sleeves, his expression was exactly the same as when he was not out of the cabinet, and Quan's couldn't help but shake his head.
Quan patted his little daughter's hand and said softly: "Mother knows that you are powerful, you can take care of those shops well, and when everything is stable, you can also take care of these restaurants under my command, my mother is too old to do anything." ”
"Mother is not old at all, walk with me, look like a sister, mother, you are not allowed to be lazy, where can I be busy alone, daughter." Xianyun took the opportunity to be coquettish, it's still good to be a mother, you can say whatever you want, and you don't need to hesitate to do things.
The mother and daughter revisited the garden of the past, and the people who sent it out also brought a reply.
"The gambling house of the Hou Mansion of Huaping?" Xianyun's first reaction was to think of the big girl, an intuition.
After hearing this, Quan pondered for a moment, looked at her with a serious expression, moved his lips, and wanted to say nothing.
Xianyun was anxious: "Mother, just say whatever you think, it's okay for your daughter." ”
Quan sighed, straightened out the skirt of the scattered flowers and mist green grass hooked by the plum blossom branches, touched her head dotingly, and after the two sat down, they said: "There is one thing you don't know, in order to express sincerity, the Huaping Marquis Mansion gave several properties in Beijing as a dowry to the eldest girl, although the gambling house did not have it, but it was a matter of time." ”
Xian Yun secretly sighed in surprise, and couldn't help but widen her eyes, could it be that the eldest girl secretly colluded with the second room to scoop her silver.
"But the person who wrote said that he only lost 10,000 taels, and secretly discussed that he deliberately said that it was 40,000 taels, Yun'er, this matter can't be counted like this, this time you listen to your mother." Kwon was indignant and wanted to knock those things to death.
Xian Yun nodded, although the second master and the second master were greedy for money, they did not have the guts, and it was more likely that the eldest girl would intervene.
"It's not good for you to come forward in this matter, it's better for the second grandmother to come forward, now the second master is happy in the drunken moon building, I will send someone to keep an eye on it, you go back quickly." The Kwon clan methodically said a series of means, and Xianyun listened very clearly, which was indeed a good method.
hurriedly said goodbye to the Quan clan and returned to the Jingqi Marquis Mansion, and went directly into the courtyard of the second grandmother.
"Second sister-in-law, second sister-in-law's eyes are better?" Xianyun Qinglian moved.
"It's okay, I've already seen the doctor, and I said it's no big deal, but I cried a lot, my sister is here now, but there's a way?" The second grandmother's empty eyes suddenly had a hint of light.
Xian Yun sighed, the second grandmother is indeed a good person, but it's a pity that she entrusted the wrong person for life, and she didn't hide the matter of going back to her parents' house, and at this moment, it is estimated that the entire Jingqi Marquis Mansion knows.
"I went out to inquire about the price of the shop, but when I came back, I saw the second master, wasn't the second master seriously injured? I thought I saw the wrong person, but I didn't feel at ease, so I came to the second sister-in-law. There are words in the words, since I want to say and stop, it makes the second grandmother's heart itch.
"I also heard that it was said that he was hiding from debts and recuperating outside, and he didn't dare to come back, and I haven't seen it, and I'm not afraid of my sister's jokes, maybe the second master is gone, and I can't even see it." The more the second grandmother thinks about it, the more she feels that her life is hard, and if she doesn't marry well, forget it, but it's a pity that she is still so uncompromising, and she is causing trouble.
Xian Yun also sighed, his heart was crossed, and he still said his intention: "If the second master is not at home, then what I saw just now is really the second master, although there are some scars on the face, there is no danger to life, the second sister-in-law does not have to worry." ”
The second grandmother didn't feel good when she heard it, and it didn't hurt her life, so why didn't she go home, where could she compare to the heavily guarded Hou Mansion, and hurriedly asked about the whereabouts of the second master of Xianyun.
"I also saw it when I was passing by, it seems that I went to Zuiyue Tower, I sent a small servant to stay there to watch, just in case."
What kind of place is Zuiyue Tower, the second grandmother has never been there, but just by listening to the name, she knows that it is not a good place, plus she always listens to the broken words between the maids on weekdays, and she can guess seven, seven, eight, eight, and she can't sit still at the moment, and begged Xianyun to lead the way.
Xianyun naturally wanted to persuade, and after several persuasions, he had to send a little servant to lead the way.
Naturally, she wouldn't go: "Second sister-in-law, that's not the place where we deep house women should go, so I can't accompany you." ”
The second grandmother said that it was okay, so she left in a hurry, Xianyun looked at the back in the distance, sighed softly and went back to the house.
"Lady, you lighten it, my injuries are not healed yet......" The second master covered his ears and screamed.
"Hmph, you have the strength to prostitute, what is that injury, I have worked hard at home to try all kinds of ways to raise money, don't shamelessly ask someone to borrow silver, you are good, drunk and dreaming in this gentle township, what are you and me?" The second grandmother was angry and heavy-handed, not caring about the image of a lady in the past.
The second master admitted his mistake again and again, hugged the second grandmother's thigh, and begged for mercy: "Listen to me, the reason why I do this is why." ”
The second grandmother raised her eyebrows and stopped to look at him.
"How's the silver ready?" It's okay not to ask, but when I asked, the second grandmother almost couldn't get up in one breath, and I was punched and kicked again.
"Don't, don't...... The recent actions of the Marquis of Jingqi Mansion are too suspicious, it is a matter of time before I see the dispersal, if we don't make more money now, when the time comes, we will drink the northwest wind, I am so much for this family, and I also want to give our children a good life, ouch, don't fight, if you fight again, you will really be crippled......" The second master finished in one breath, but the second grandmother was stunned.
The Jingqi Marquis Mansion is about to disperse! That's where it starts.
"You're really a brainless, can't you see the atmosphere at home now? Hou Ye has been busy recruiting troops and horses everywhere recently, although it is very hidden, but as a person of the Qi family, he can still find a trace of clues, whether it is successful or not, we can't occupy the light in the second room, people like Mrs. Tai, the family property can't be counted on, since the seventh grandmother has silver, just take more, and don't take care of them in the second room for these days, this is also what we deserve, how much silver does the seventh grandmother plan to give? That's what he cares about the most.
"10,000 taels, but it is said that I have found a ready-made pawnshop, and I say that I can mortgage the silver, and I have mortgaged some of the properties under my name, and I can get those 30,000 taels of silver tomorrow." The second grandmother still couldn't react, what the second master said just now was too shocking, she never thought that the Jingqi Marquis Mansion would disperse like this.
The worst thing is that after Mrs. Tai's death, the big house is unwilling to live together and separate.
"Those shops are not worth so much silver, if they really give silver, it will be worth it, this time it is good." The second master smiled awkwardly, his eyes were shining, and the second grandmother was uncomfortable.
She finally came back to her senses, her father and Xianggong were clearly understanding the silver of the seventh grandmother of Baikeng, and when she thought that the seventh grandmother was really to her, she tried every possible way to find a way, and her little estate could mortgage so much silver, the seventh grandmother must have helped a lot, and her heart suddenly felt a loss, I knew that this was the case, and I should pawn out the land bought with the silver in the private house under my name, hey.
"Grandma Seven has always treated us sincerely, since she entered the door, she has not harmed us, we are too unkind to do this, according to me, if you want silver, you should make it up from the public, we are also the descendants of the Qi family, why can't we get it?" She is the most depressed at this point, no matter how bad the third room is, there are a lot of properties under her name, and they only have a little bit from Mrs. Tai in the second room, and they have to hide from Mrs. Tai to take care of it secretly.
The second master persuaded him several times, saying that in the important place where he appeared, if the seventh grandmother and the seventh master were down, or were suppressed by the Hou master, they would have money in their hands to help with relief, so that they would not be cheap The big house, and so on, went to the second grandmother's heart, thinking about it carefully, it seemed that the second room had an extra way to live, and couldn't help but promise the second master to cooperate with the whole plan!!
