Chapter 30: The Quarrel
Lost...... All lost. Jiang Xiu's eyes were red, his face was incredible, Jiang Xiu didn't understand why his luck was so good before, but these key games were like this, and he happened to pass by every time. Jiang Xiu still hasn't understood that he has fallen into a big trap, and attributes it all to luck.
"Brother Jiang."
Jiang Xiu felt Chai Tianyou's hand on his shoulder, Jiang Xiu didn't want to lose face in front of his friends, so he could only pull out a smile that was more ugly than crying.
"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, Brother Jiang, you don't have to care too much."
"Virtuous Brother...... I...... This money...... I will pay you back in three days. ”
Jiang Xiuyi gritted his teeth, but he really had no face to say that he couldn't pay the money, so he could only grit his teeth and admit it. Chai Tianyou seemed to see Jiang Xiu's embarrassed face, and approached Jiang Xiu and said, "Actually, Brother Jiang, this money can also be regarded as my filial piety to my brother-in-law."
Jiang Xiu suddenly felt refreshed as if he had eaten a panacea. That's right, as long as Jiang Aoxue marries Chai Tianyou, not only will the 50,000 silver taels not have to be repaid, but there will also be a lot of money for himself to have fun. After thinking clearly about Chai Tianyou's extraneous voice, Jiang Xiu said goodbye to Chai Tianyou and walked out of the gambling house.
Chai Tianyou saw Jiang Xiu's back swaying step by step, and scolded in a low voice: "Straw bale." Then he turned to the person in charge of the turntable and said, "Good job." After getting a flattering smile from the other party, he also turned around and walked out of the gambling house.
Two roads, two people, one is like a straw bag calculating how to marry his sister into the Chai family, and the other is humming a little song and just waiting for the beauty to send it to the door.
The first thing Jiang Xiu did after entering the house was to go to Jiang Aoxue's yard, and she didn't expect that it was a girl's boudoir and a seven-year-old room.
"Miss, the young master is here."
Qingfeng saw Jiang Xiu from a distance at the door and walked away impatiently, and there was only one young lady living here, so he didn't need to guess to know that Jiang Xiu must be coming for his own young lady, Qingfeng hurriedly lifted the skirt embroidered with butterflies and reported to the young lady.
When Jiang Aoxue heard that it was her eldest brother who came, her brows furrowed, the so-called "nothing to do and go to the Three Treasures Palace", Jiang Xiu came to find herself, I am afraid that something is asking me, is it Chai Tianyou again?
Before Jiang Aoxue could think about it, Chai Tianyou stepped on the threshold and entered, Jiang Aoxue frowned, a little impatient but still stabilized his mind and said: "Brother is in such a hurry, I think there is something important, let's go to the stone table in my courtyard to talk about it, Wanyun, serve tea." ”
"Yes."
The evening breeze retreated lightly to make tea, and Qingfeng stood at Jiang Aoxue's three steps to keep an eye on the surrounding situation.
As soon as she heard that Jiang Aoxue was willing to talk to her in detail, Jiang Xiu rushed to the courtyard and sat on the stone bench, and beckoned Jiang Aoxue, who was standing in the same place, to come over.
In addition to a pomegranate tree, there are also two peach trees planted in the yard, and now when the peach blossoms are in full bloom in spring, the pink peach blossoms and peach petals are falling down under the spring breeze. The two people sitting on the stone bench have no intention of appreciating such a beautiful scenery, each full of concerns, and sees the move.
"Ao Xue, you said that you are already at the age of getting married, and it is not a matter to stay in the mansion all the time, Brother Chai has such a promising ......"
"Enough, if the eldest brother is here to marry Chai Tianyou, the eldest brother will please go back, Ao Xue still wants to take care of her grandmother and mother for a few more years, and Ao Xue has no intention of getting married now."
Jiang Aoxue interrupted Jiang Xiu's words and coldly refused, what Jiang Xiu thought in his heart. Jiang Xiu, who was interrupted, suddenly darkened her face, and just wanted to scold but remembered something, and persuaded with good words: "Ao Xue, you have absolutely nothing to lose by marrying Brother Chai, Brother Chai is a far-reaching talent, and the future will be limitless, and when the time comes, you will be indispensable for good food, good clothes, and good drink." ”
Jiang Aoxue's brows tightened, and a nameless fire burned in her heart.
"It turns out that Ao Xue is such a vulgar person in the eyes of the university? Everyone in the world loves gold and silver treasures, and Aoxue only loves a couple of people, Aoxue just wants to find someone who loves each other to spend the rest of her life with, even if it is bitter and tired, there is a dependence, breeze, and send off! ”
"Jiang Aoxue! You! ”
Jiang Xiu gasped a few times in anger, "No need to send it!" I'll leave right away, but Jiang Aoxue, if you don't marry Brother Chai, when Brother Chai is prosperous, you must not stick it with a dead face and beg others to accept you. ”
Jiang Xiu threw down the last sentence and saw that Jiang Aoxue still had no reaction, so she shook her sleeves angrily and left angrily.
"Oops, my tea has just been brewed, why is no one here!"
In the evening, the clouds were on the tea tray, with a puffed out bun face, and a depressed look. Qingfeng stepped forward and was a burst.
"What? You still want him to stay a little longer, and be more angry, Miss! ”
The evening breeze put down the tea tray, covered her forehead, stuck out her tongue at Qingfeng, and then carefully looked at the young lady who was supporting her chin with her hands, her brows were tightly locked, and her face was empty.
The soft spring breeze blew by, blowing up the green silk left by Jiang Aoxue on both sides. The hair floated back, and the cuffs of the hands slid down a little because they supported the chin, revealing the white arms. A peach blossom slowly fell on Jiang Aoxue's hair, and a remnant flower actually added a little more color to Jiang Aoxue. Beauty with beautiful scenery, the evening breeze only feels that my saliva is about to flow down.
"If you don't shut up, your saliva will run on the ground."
Jiang Aoxue, who came back to her senses, knocked on the stunned Wanyun who looked at her funny, and when Wanyun heard that saliva was flowing out, she hurriedly wiped her sleeve. As a result, the cuffs were clean and there was no so-called saliva at all, and Wanyun ran away angrily with a red face, and muttered "Miss is bad" when she ran. ”
Jiang Aoxue felt that her stomach was about to hurt with laughter, and the original depression disappeared in this little episode.
"Miss just likes to tease the evening breeze."
"Wanyun is simple, how can you be worthy of her calling me Miss if you don't tease, don't talk about me, Qingfeng, aren't you the one who often teases Xiao Wanyun's face to be red and gritted his teeth."
Qingfeng nodded silently, after all, Wanyun is really too simple and fun.
Jiang Xiu, who came out of the gate of Jiang Aoxue's courtyard, was full of regret, and Jiang Aoxue's ears persuaded her not to eat hard. If I had softened my tone at the time, I might have been able to turn a little better, but now that I am so unhappy, I am afraid that this marriage will not be successful. But the 50,000 yuan ...... What should I do......
Jiang Xiu's mind understood a few times, and then hit his wife, Zhuo Zitong.
"Zitong." As soon as Jiang Xiu entered the courtyard, he found all the people, and he seemed to be in a hurry.
"Husband." Zhuo Zitong was wearing a delicate pink dress, with light makeup, and his white complexion matched the pink clothes. Zhuo Zitong dressed up so carefully seemed to have gotten the news a long time ago, and this kind of dress just happened to crash into Jiang Xiu's arms, and Jiang Xiu couldn't take his eyes off.
Jiang Xiu stepped forward and walked into the room around Zhuo Zitong's waist, Jiang Xiu sat in the first place and drank tea on the first floor to calm down his own anger before he said with a little embarrassment: "Zitong...... Do you have any money left, lately...... I ......" Jiang Xiu said very embarrassed.
"Money? How many silver tickets do I have left in my little vault? ”
"Miss, there are still 20,000 taels of silver tickets."
"Husband, is it enough?"
Zhuo Zitong's 20,000 taels of silver ticket shook, but Jiang Xiu shook his head, "It's not enough, it's not a dog, it's still more than half." ”
"More than half! Husband, you ...... Got into trouble? ”
Zhuo Zitong covered his mouth, his face was incredible, what did Jiang Xiu do to ask for so much money.
Jiang Xiu glanced at the xylophone, and Zhuo Zitong hurriedly waved his hand to let the servants go down.
"Hmmm......"
Jiang Xiuyi gritted her teeth and told all the causes and consequences of the matter, and Zhuo Zitong covered her slightly open mouth with a handkerchief in shock.
"50,000 yuan...... So much money...... Husband, let's go and beg Mother. ”
"Mother...... Yikes! ”
Jiang Xiu looked down and thought about the possibility of asking her mother for help, and then shook her head.
"No, if my mother knows that I still owe 50,000 taels when I go to the gambling house, she will definitely punish me with family law."
"So what should I do...... Mother can't work, Jiang Aoxue can't persuade her, how can this be good! ”
Zhuo Zitong was in a hurry, although Jiang Xiu often snubbed herself to go to Cuiping's little goblin when she was pregnant, but Jiang Xiu was my husband after all. Zhuo Zitong's eyes glanced east, looked west, and finally his eyes stayed on the dresser, where there was a jadeite gold-inlaid bracelet given by his mother.
"Husband, this can't ask for money, so let's go and be a thing. There are a lot of good things given by this mother and grandmother, and we will take some out as long as we don't leak the news and act secretly, and the 30,000 taels will be able to be collected soon. ”
Jiang Xiu's eyes lit up, patted his knees and said happily: "That's right! Why didn't I think of this good way, I love you so much, lady. ”
Zhuo Zitong was pink-faced by Jiang Xiu, and it was a charm to match this dress. Jiang Xiu's eyes were straight, but when she saw Zhuo Zitong's slightly bulging abdomen, she could only silently withdraw her wolf-like gaze.
The two sorted out the jewelry and pottery, and then wrapped it in a cloth and handed it to the xylophone to secretly take it out, and in the end, those things were treated as 38,000 taels plus the 20,000 taels of the original Zhuo Zitong's small treasury, a total of 58,000 taels, Jiang Xiu happily took it out and returned it, but poor Chai Tianyou's wishful thinking was still empty in the end.
Before the thing was taken seriously, Zhuo Zitong warned Jiang Xiu to remember the lesson of this time and not to go to the gambling house to fool around again. Jiang Xiu must have agreed, Zhuo Zitong nodded with satisfaction, it would be great if the husband could turn back.
The life of her and her husband will definitely get better and better, Zhuo Zitong fantasizes about the future life in her mind, the happy life of her and Jiang Xiu, and the baby family will be happy.
Zhuo Zitong thought of the recent troubles again, and his good mood disappeared in an instant, hey, no matter what, his life will be better in the future.
