"He Gongzi is so good, he has made another round. When you win the money, will you buy the slave family back? Let the slave family serve He Gongzi for the rest of his life. ”

A prostitute said and fed He Wan another grape.

Rutu, who was sitting opposite, smiled lightly and quipped: "That prince lost so much money, I'm afraid he won't be able to redeem the slave family, so the slave family has to pay for it and invite the prince to play in the boudoir......"

With such a joke, the next game began.

After pushing pai gow overnight, the four men and four women in the house, except for He Wan, were a little sleepy.

He Wan asked Wang Zhen while touching the cards: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Wu Pei and Li Fengang for many years, how is the second son of 'eating and drinking' now?" ”

"Wu Pei was admitted to the Jinshi six years ago, and he was released for more than three years at first, and returned to Beijing to work in the Ministry of Industry in the first two years, and was transferred to Laizhou last month. It can be said that life has no roots, floating like dust on the earth. Wang Zhen said.

He Wan asked, "Any job in Laizhou?" ”

"He has been in the office for less than six years, and he is already a prefect." Wang Zhen said with a smile.

He Wan played a card and said with a smile: "The official luck is prosperous." ”

"The official fortune is prosperous." Wang Zhen also smiled and said: "He went out of Beijing this time and sold his family's house, so he shouldn't plan to come back." ”

He Wan said curiously: "He has a smooth career, maybe he will be able to return to Beijing as a senior official one day?" ”

"He didn't elaborate on the reason for this."

He Wan said: "His house is just south of your house, it is exquisite and square, and the feng shui is excellent." ”

Wang Zhen said "um" and said, "He has been living next to me for the past two years. Because of him, I gained a lot of weight. ”

"Then I'll go and buy that house, and it's convenient to have a party with you later." He Wan said.

Wang Zhen only thought he was joking, chuckled, and continued to draw cards.

"Where's Li Fengang?" He Wan asked again.

Wang Zhen said lightly: "I went back to my hometown three years ago, and I haven't seen him since." ”

"His hometown is Yongping Mansion, right?"

"Not bad." Wang Zhen said: "A few months ago, I also sent him two jars of wine. ”

"The mountains and rivers are far away, and you still ask someone to send him wine, you have a heart." He Wan said.

As he spoke, He Wan touched another card and said, "Ding three with two or four, the Monkey King is right, and I am with him again." ”

Wang Zhen shook her head and smiled.

The night passed, the sky was bright, and several people finally broke up the game.

Wang Zhen lost more than 500 taels of silver, and people like him naturally never had to bring money, and the counter of the prosperous casino settled the money, and when he turned around, Xiao Chai He would naturally send someone to the Wang Family Liquor Store to settle the settlement.

The picturesque girl who had been sitting with him all night invited him to rest in the boudoir, Wang Zhen was not very interested in such a little girl now, smiled and shook her head and refused, went out of the casino, and got into the carriage home.

Nearly thirty years old, he gambled all night again like when he was young, but his mood and mental strength are very different from those back then.

"I don't know how much my strength has weakened, but I feel that I am too lazy to go upstairs."

Leaning on the carriage, Wang Zhen recalled the conversation just now.

There was something he didn't tell Hewan.

- Li Fengang is dead, and there are only three of the so-called 'Four Poisonous Sons' left.

Two years ago, the Qing army entered the customs, and many people died in Yongping Mansion.

The Li family is also a big family in Yongping, but no matter how big it is, it is only a matter of a moment when it is erased. The moon is cloudy and sunny, and people have good and bad luck.

Wang Zhen tried to find out if there was any blood left in the Li family, but even the half-year-old baby had no life to live, so it could be regarded as a cut off from children and grandchildren.

During this year's Qingming Festival, Wang Zhen poured two jars of wine in front of the grave of this best friend.

He knew that in the future, he would only attend more and more funerals every year.

Thinking like this along the way, Wang Zhen returned home.

As soon as he got out of the carriage, a man came running in a hurry.

"Big young master, a hundred households from the Taiping Division came to the door to ask the third young master about the case."

-------------------------------------

The courtyard of Wang Zhu, the second young master of the Wang family, is called Huangliangju.

Sorghum is not only the corn for brewing, but also the 'sorghum' of the dream.

This courtyard used to be called 'gourd incense building', and after the death of the second young grandmother of the Wang family four years ago, it was once called Huangquanju.

"I once said to Qingsi, I hate, ask Huangquan."

Later, the old man thought that this name was unlucky, and forced the second young master to change it.

Early in the morning, two maids hurriedly ran to Huangliangju to invite Wang Zhu to see Wang Kang.

Although it was early, they knew that the second young master must be awake.

When they arrived in the yard, the two maids were a little surprised.

But he saw Wang Sisi riding on Wang Zhu's head, pinching Wang Zhu's ears with his hand, and giggling in his mouth: "Ride a big horse, Si'er ride a big horse." ”

The two maids' eyelids jumped, and they saw the second young master who was mean and cold in the past with a flattering smile on his face, which actually made people feel a little like ...... Some like daughters' minions.

"II...... Second Young Master. ”

Seeing someone coming, Wang Zhu put Wang Sisi down. The expression of indifference and detachment on his face has returned, and he said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Sir, please come over."

Wang Zhu said: "Got it." ”

Wang Sisi was also well-behaved, said goodbye to her father, and went to play with her aunt.

Wang Zhu walked towards Du Kangzhai.

The two maids followed behind him, looking at the second young master's red ears, laughing and scared in their hearts.

It's funny that the second young master has such a side, and he is afraid that he will be dragged out and killed by a cane because he saw this scene.

When Wang Zhu arrived at Du Kangzhai, Wang Kang touched his beard and said: "Zhu'er look at the account book on the table, the Cui family sold our 2,000 stone less grain this time, is it really gone or sold to others." ”

Wang Zhu said: "You still need to watch, but I think your son-in-law is not doing well." ”

This second son is used to being so mean, and no one else in the house heard it anyway at this time, and Wang Kang was not annoyed. said: "Let's take a look first, it's not good to wronged his family." ”

Wang Zhu sat down, opened the account book and glanced at it, and said lightly: "Father is so powerful, he can still get your brother-in-law's account." ”

Wang Kangwei was a little proud, stroked his beard and said: "He has my eyeliner in his tent." But the boss of the Cui family still guarded against me, and it didn't seem to be visible on the books......"

After turning over the account for a while, someone came to report that there was a messenger from the Taiping Division who came to find him.

"The Peacekeeper?"

Wang Kang was taken aback.

He frowned and asked, "What are they looking for?" ”

"The Tao is to ask the third young master about the case."

With a "bell", the teacup in Wang Kang's hand fell to the ground.

He turned to Wang Zhu abruptly and said in a trembling voice: "Is it that we are laughing at that demented child to cheat on the royal family?!" I told you there was a risk in this matter......"

Wang Zhu didn't raise his head, and said lightly: "Father, don't worry, it's definitely not." ”

Wang Kang's eyelids jumped violently, and he suppressed his voice and said, "How do you know it's not?" In case of an incident, the methods of the Taiping Division are not a joke. Oh, you are still young, I don't know how powerful the Taiping Division is, but when my father was young, I saw how those sons were like wolves and tigers, and they were extremely vicious! I said don't do it, don't do it! ”

"Heh, no matter how wolf and tiger he is, he hasn't been raised as a kitten by Jinshang, and his father has to scare himself." When Wang Zhu talked about the kitten, she thought of her daughter and seemed to chuckle.

Wang Kang stood up abruptly, pacing back and forth, extremely uneasy.

"But I'm here to laugh! What can they do to make a joke?! A demented child, who doesn't go out of the door, hides deeper than the official lady. Now that he is being targeted by these fans, he will shed his skin if he doesn't die. ”

"During the Yuanxi period, the court selected a horse for Princess Guhe, and the Liang family, a wealthy family in the capital, spent a lot of money to elect his critically ill son. Only three days after the marriage, the attached horse died, and Princess Guhe was widowed for more than ten years, and finally died of depression. Does my father know what happened to the Liang family in the end? Wang Zhu said: "There is nothing at all." Hehe, the heavenly family will not admit to being deceived into marriage. What's more, Xiao'er has a handsome character, which is a good fate for Mianxiu. Why was our royal family guilty for this? ”

"Then the people from the Taiping Division came to ask what case?" Wang Kang was still shocked.

Wang Zhu calmly turned another page of the account and said, "The Cui family sold the grain to the He family." ”

"What?" Wang Kang asked.

"Didn't my father tell me to read the accounts? It can be seen that this account is fake, and the Cui family did sell the grain to the He family. ”

Wang Kang was angry and anxious, and said, "It's time like this!" How can I still care about this! The people from the Peace Division have come to the door......"

"The child is left to deal with it, and the father is left to sit down." Wang Zhu said, and whispered to himself: "Don't worry, when I finish reading this page of accounts, heh, the price has only increased by 10%, and I dare to sell the grain to others......"

-------------------------------------

"Young master, Ying'er also wants you to sleep more, but the second young master invites you to the front yard hall." Ying'er gently pushed Wang Xiao and called.

Wang Xiao had no choice but to stroke his head and get up.

When he was dressing, he saw that Ying'er had lost a lot of weight, and his face was full of energy, and his mood was also low.

After the hangover, he had a headache, but he forgot to pretend to speak in a stupid tone for a while, and said softly: "Then I will go with the second brother's people, and you will rest in the house." ”

Ying'er nodded, but didn't notice his tone.

Wang Xiao suddenly asked, "Ying'er, you said that our Chu Dynasty still has a few years of qi?" ”

Ying'er was sorting out his clothes, and was stunned when she heard this, and looked up at him.

Then, she smiled and said in a low voice: "Young master, you are talking stupid things again, how can you ever think of this kind of thing......

Wang Xiao followed the two maids all the way to the front yard.

After passing the Moon Gate, I saw my eldest brother Wang Zhen first.

"Big brother?" Wang smiled and said, "Isn't the second brother looking for me?" ”

Wang Zhen first waved his hand to drive away the two maid rings, and then said, "There is a fan of the Taiping Division coming to you." I am waiting to share with you a few words. ”

Wang Xiao was a little confused: "Taiping Division? What is it? ”

"That's the government department personally managed by the Son of Heaven, who is in charge of the guards, inspects and arrests, and supervises the world." Wang Zhen said.

Wang Xiao was slightly shocked when he heard this, and said secretly: That is probably the brocade guard of the Chu Dynasty?

The name is not very good, and it sounds like a morgue.

"Looking for me? Do what? ”

Didn't you find out about fishing people from the patrol camp?!

But I heard Wang Zhen say: "I'm not sure why they are looking for you, maybe it's because of the princess's marriage." When you get to the hall in a while, everything will be handled by me and your second brother, you can sit by yourself and don't make a sound. ”

"Okay."

Wang Zhen thought about it, and said in a solemn tone: "Also, don't pretend to be dementia in front of them." ”

Wang Xiao's heart jumped, and when he heard the eldest brother say this, he understood why the eldest brother was waiting here to explain himself.

Speaking of which, the eldest brother and the second brother are using their dementia to deceive the royal marriage, and they are really fat......

"Okay."

Wang Xiao still asked what he was most concerned about: "Big brother, you said that our Chu Dynasty still has a few years of qi?" ”

Wang Zhen was stunned.

"You don't ask outside. It is a great sin to let people hear it! Wang Zhen first reprimanded slightly, thought about it, and still sighed a little and said, "I'm just afraid...... There are less than a hundred years of luck left......"

The tone is quite regretful, and a little compassionate.

Wang Xiao must be in his heart - great!

This Chu Dynasty seems to be more powerful than the Ming Dynasty, and it can last for a hundred years! I was worried all night......
