Chapter 20 Wang Ma, the third round of gambling (I)

Minghu Villa, brightly lit, several exquisite white porcelain candlesticks in the candlelight, transparent as if transparent, beautiful.

Next to each candlestick, there is a maidservant, ready to trim the wick.

Although Li is still not used to such a luxurious life, he no longer makes people extinguish the candle, but there is still some pain in his heart.

In the hall, the joy is harmonious, and the dishes on the table are extremely rich.

Li's, Lu Erniang, Gan's, You Wuniang and Lu Ning's five people chatted while eating and drinking.

"Little brother, you, you are really angry......" As she spoke, Lu Erniang's eyes turned red again.

I couldn't have imagined that my younger brother was already the lord of Donghai County, and my younger brother was still young, throughout the ages, such prodigies were all famous in the history books, and my younger brother, a few months ago, was still ignorant and confused, but it turned out to be a test of God.

Today, the younger brother has appointed several government officials, and granted amnesty to the prison prison, announcing to the people of the county, which can be regarded as the official opening of the government.

Lu Erniang thought about it, and her heart was excited.

Listening to the second sister's words, Lu Ning smiled and said, "I'm just fooling around." ”

Seeing that his beloved son is so glorious now, thinking about his suffering in the past, Li also secretly wiped away tears.

However, when Lu Erniang took a handkerchief and wanted to help her wipe her tears, Li turned her head, although Lu Erniang had moved into the manor for almost a month, she still didn't pay much attention to this daughter, and her attitude was very cold.

"Second sister, in a few days, when I have time, I will take you on a blind date, looking for candidates, there are more than a dozen!"

Lu Ning's words made Lu Erniang's face blush, and she hung her head and was silent.

Lu Ning had already told her what a "blind date" was, although she kept saying that it was inappropriate, but in her heart, she felt that this way was very interesting and she was looking forward to it.

"Mrs. Gan, how is your second brother supervising the accumulation of fat?" This is the first priority in Lu Ning's heart, and he can't ignore it, and in front of his mother, Lu Ning doesn't dare to call Mrs. Gan by her nickname, for fear that her mother will hit her wrong, mainly because she is afraid of hurting her body.

Gan kept hanging her head, on such occasions, she didn't want to come, it was the Li family who pulled her here, and there were several former Liu Mansion maidservants around, and her personal maid Xiaocui was also among them, thinking about her situation, she was still a little ashamed after all.

And You Wuniang, but the old woman who coaxed her was very happy, and took the initiative to mention to the old woman that the opening of the house banquet was to come to celebrate the lord.

Hearing Lu Ning's question, Gan whispered: "He has been busy with this matter, and I heard that the progress is not bad." ”

Lu Ning was immediately overjoyed, "That's good!" That's good! "Although it is not realistic for every household to repair thatched latrines, many villages have begun to build public latrines, so that they can accumulate fertilizer.

You Wuniang kept smiling and glancing at Lu Ning, but she was very measured, and she just listened to the chatter of the Li family, Lu Erniang and Lu Ning, and didn't interject much.

Lu Ning smiled and raised his glass, "I just like a big family, it's happy, come, have a drink." ”

From the old lady, to the second sister Lu, Gan's, You Wuniang, etc., they all raised their glasses.

Hearing Lu Ning's toast say that it was "family", You Wuniang's bones were lighter.

Gan's pretty face was hot, and he didn't dare to face Xiaocui behind him.

Outside, a servant girl suddenly came in a hurry, arrived in front of Lu Ning, and presented a letter with both hands, "Lord, a messenger from Haizhou said that it was urgent." ”

Lu Ning bowed slightly, drank all the wine in the cup, and then took the letter and opened it.

Inside, there is a name, Situ Mansion Zhou Gong, and the content on the letterhead is about Lu Ning, and we will meet tomorrow in Wanghai Tower.

"Son, what's the matter?" This is too rich and noble, and the Li family is trembling.

Lu Ning smiled, "It's okay!" Raise your chopsticks, "Come, eat, eat." ”

The atmosphere in the hall became more and more lively.

……

Haizhou Wanghai Tower.

Looking at Haizhou Thorn History and League Training Envoy Yang Zhao, Lu Ning was really speechless, because of his existence, Lu Ning almost forgot about the main business.

Yang Zhao's face is white, he is in his forties, but he doesn't have a beard, his body is fragrant, obviously he is splashed with incense powder, and his hands are very white and tender, playing with a pink handkerchief, Lu Ning's goosebumps are up.

This style of Wei and Jin is too thorough, right?

Thinking of the rumors that most of the troupes raised by Yang Tingshi were male actors, Lu Ning was even more chilled.

"Donghai Gong, is there anything wrong with me?" As if noticing that Lu Ning had been looking at him, Yang Zhao whispered, lowered his head, pulled his brocade robe, and then exclaimed, "Oh, this, what kind of pickled thing is this...... stretched out his orchid finger, gently flicked off a grass seed stuck to the brocade robe, and smiled at Lu Ning: "Donghai Gong, thank you, you are quite careful." ”

Lu Ning almost sat on the ground, as if there were thousands of troops, and he was not as terrible as this Yang Thorn History.

In film and television dramas, I saw Ruhua's urge to beat people, so it's like this.

Wanghailou has closed its doors to thank guests, and more than a dozen state officials have come, headed by Yang Tingshi, don't drive Li Jingyao, Changshi Zheng Xu, and Sima Nong Bayin.

"Donghai Gong, say, do you agree?" Zhou Gong stood tall, and it seemed that he was much more confident than he was more than a month ago.

Just now, he said that he wanted to bet with Lu Ning again, this time betting 600,000 yuan, that is, the arrears of him and Wang Ji.

Hearing what Zhou Gong said, Lu Ning smiled: "You little slave, when will you pay off the money you owe me, and you will be qualified to gamble with my father-in-law again!" If not, every insatiable gambler has to gamble with me all the time, then when will I be the head? ”

"And my father thought about it, you are a poor ghost who can't pay 300,000 yuan, if you keep pestering in the future, invite your seven aunts and eight aunts, bet 600,000 yuan this time, and 1.2 million next time? Next time, two million and four million? ”

"It's so round and round, I win even under it, and if I lose once, I will let you win back with interest, it's too unfair, so if you want to bet with my father, you can, 300,000 yuan at a time, unless, the person who wants to bet with me has great wealth, for example, Yang Shigong, even if you bet 2 million with me, then you can also bet on it!"

"And a little slave like Zhou Gong, 300,000 yuan, I am already extraordinarily generous!"

The heart said that these ancients should not be too despised by them, the gambling content is up to them, and if they don't pay attention to losing once, they will return to the pre-liberation period overnight.

Yang Tingshi listened to Lu Ning's words and smiled slightly: "What the Duke of Donghai said is also fair, but this official doesn't have that much money!" ”

Zhou Gong was also stagnant, but he knew that Lu Ning had a point.

Starting from Wang Ji, the so-called 300,000 yuan of lottery heads, in fact, only the East China Sea Gong can afford to pay, but it must also be intercepted from taxes every year, and it can only be paid off in several years.

Wang Ji also has a net worth of more than 10,000 guan, which can be regarded as a family fortune.

And he is a pure white wolf with empty gloves.

When people were willing to bet against you, as he said, it was really magnanimous.

"Donghai Gong, I'll bet with you this time!" The one who spoke was a young woman sitting behind Zhou Gong, dressed very frugally, with a cyan skirt and a contoured face, slightly similar to Wang Ji.

As she spoke, she stood up and bowed slightly to Lu Ning.

As soon as she spoke, it was Yang Tingshi, and she also listened attentively.

She sat at the bottom because of the etiquette system, although she was from Situ Mansion, her identity was not an official after all.

However, the nurse of the second lady of Situ Mansion heard that she was very well treated in Situ Mansion, and everyone regarded her as half of the housewife.

Situ Gong seems to be as close as half a daughter.

Yang Tingshi and others naturally did not dare to slack off.

As soon as Wang spoke, the focus immediately turned to her.
