Ning Xia Qing was slightly stunned, his eyes were actually red, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, Ah Zheng saw this, so he stood up and said, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate for Lord Gu to ask this." ”

Gu Xuesong looked at Ah Zheng and asked rhetorically, "Why is it inappropriate?" ”

"Ah Zheng, you go back to the flower hall first." Ning Xia Qing sent Ah Zheng away, paused slightly, then met Gu Xuesong's gaze, and said frankly: "Master Liu was injured, I also regret it, I didn't mean to hurt Master Liu, but if I have to sacrifice Master Liu in order to achieve my goal, I will not hesitate." ”

Ning Xia Qing asked rhetorically: "Can my son be satisfied with this answer?" ”

Gu Xuesong chuckled indifferently, as if he didn't care about the question just now, he cared about another question.

This made Ning Xia Qing suddenly feel that Gu Xuesong was actually very angular.

She asked frankly again: "What I just said to Childe, can Childe not say it?" Can you promise not to let Master Liu know what I just said? ”

Gu Xuesong still didn't answer, and his smiling eyes seemed to say again, "You don't have to ask this question."

At this moment, Ning Xia Qing suddenly discovered that Gu Xuesong had a vague sense of alienation that was difficult for ordinary people to detect.

At this moment, it happened that Cuiyu came to Ningxia Qing: "Girl, girl, where are you?" ”

Ningxia Qing called Cuiyu, and then there was the sound of someone trotting over, Cuiyu paused slightly when she saw Gu Xuesong, and then ran to Ningxia Qing's side, and hurriedly said, "Girl, why don't you go back?" ”

Ning Xia Qing asked, "Is something wrong?" Why are you in a hurry to find me back? ”

Cuiyu shook her head and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that Master Liu is looking for you, and Old Lady Gu saw that you haven't been going back for a long time, so she also asked me about you." ”

Ning Xia Qing nodded, said goodbye to Gu Xuesong, and then went to the flower hall in the direction that Ah Zheng left.

After Ningxia Qing left, Guanqi came out, and when Guanqi saw Gu Xuesong, he immediately hurriedly stepped forward and said with concern: "Why is Gongzi here?" It's cold outside, so Childe might as well go in quickly. Many people asked where Childe had gone. ”

Gu Xuesong looked up at the sky, seemed to chuckle, and said indifferently: "Got it, you go back first." ”

Watching the chess was stunned for a moment, with some reluctance on his face, but he had to go back silently. After watching the chess and leaving, Gu Xuesong stood in place for a while, until Ah Zheng came out of the shadows.

Ah Zheng walked behind Gu Xuesong, Gu Xuesong turned to look at Ah Zheng, only to see Ah Zheng clenching his fists slightly, and said calmly: "Lord Gu, my girl's background is miserable, and it is the honor of the Ning family to be taken care of by Lord Gu many times." ”

Gu Xuesong looked at Ah Zheng casually, but her tone was not casual: "It's an honor for your girl to have someone like you by her side to help support her." ”

Ah Zheng raised his eyes to look at Gu Xuesong, and his temptation to Gu Xuesong was like a mirror, Ah Zheng nodded slightly, and said: "I am a buddy of the Ning family, and it is right to saddle the horse for my girl." My shopkeeper is busy right now, if Master Gu has nothing else to do, I will go back to help my shopkeeper. Then he went back to the flower hall.

After the end of the flower party, Ningxia Qing had just arrived at Huacaiyuan, and Wan Shengxing's steward came to the door.

The steward sent the silver to Ningxia Qing, in addition to the profit of Ningxia Qing's peony, there was also a share that Xiao Jingyuan had promised her before.

Wan Shengxing's steward said with a smile: "My son-in-law values Ning Dangjia very much, and wants to feast Ning Dangjia in person, I don't know if Ning Dangjia can appreciate it?" ”

Ning Xia Qingwan refused: "Xiao Gongzi has helped me several times, how can I let Xiao Gongzi set up a banquet for me?" Naturally, I should invite Xiao Gongzi. But now I am wearing filial piety, and it is inconvenient to enter and exit the restaurant, but I am afraid that I will not be able to go in person, so I have to ask the shopkeeper Dong to entertain Xiao Gongzi instead of me. When Xiao Gongzi is free, just come and let me know, I will set up a banquet in the Drunken Flower Pavilion and wait for Xiao Gongzi. ”

Wan Shengxing's steward raised his eyes, glanced at Ning Ningqing, hesitated slightly, and then smiled and said, "Xie Ning is in charge of the family, I will go back to report to my son-in-law." ”

Wan Shengxing's steward walked for almost an hour, and Guanqi came to Huacaiyuan again.

Guanqi sent an envelope for Gu Xuesong, and Ning Xia Qing opened the envelope and saw that there were neat seven thousand taels of silver tickets inside.

Ningxia Qing was stunned: "This is ...... What do you mean? ”

Guan Qi replied with a lowered face: "My son-in-law said, there is no more and no less here, and it is all Miss Ning's." My son-in-law also asked me to tell Miss Ning that he had bet another 5,000 taels in the third game. The accounts here, Miss Ning should be able to figure it out. ”

Ning Ningqing did a few calculations, sighed instantly, and said infinitely complicated: "I understand." ”

After watching the chess and leaving, Ningxia Qing called Dong Zizhen and explained a few words to Dong Zizhen, Dong Zizhen asked unexpectedly: "Lord Gu won a thousand taels with a thousand taels of the master, but he didn't even keep a penny with interest, and he also won five thousand taels with his own silver, and gave the five thousand taels of profit to the master?" ”

Ning Xia Qing nodded and said, "Yes, so I need to visit him in person tomorrow, I have something to say to him, you can arrange it for me." ”

Ning Ningqing asked Gu Xuesong to bet 1,000 taels on Liu Yiru in his name before, on the surface, it was to give Liu Yiru a strong momentum, but in fact, it was to send money to Gu Xuesong to thank Gu Xuesong for helping him repeatedly.

She told Gu Xuesong that if she could win the silver, the winning part would belong to her, and the capital would belong to Gu Xuesong, if it was a draw or a loss, the matter would be settled, and she would not ask Gu Xuesong for a penny. Because she can guarantee that the worst result today is a draw, Gu Xuesong can fall this thousand taels no matter what.

Unexpectedly, Gu Xuesong not only didn't accept her love, but even paid his own money, earned an extra 5,000 taels, and gave the 5,000 taels to Ning Ningqing, but made Ningxia Qing owe him a favor again.

Gu Xuesong's meaning was obvious, he didn't want to accept Ning Ningqing's one thousand taels.

In fact, Ningxia Qingben didn't want to send Gu Xuesong away with silver, she just felt that she owed Gu Xuesong too much, and thought that she would pay back a little if she could, but Gu Xuesong refused her silver, which made her feel embarrassed suddenly.

If she hadn't seen Gu Xuesong's side today, she wouldn't have felt embarrassed.

After Xiao Jingyuan came out of the flower club, he went to do some other things first, and only returned to Wanshengxing after he was busy, and the steward of Wanshengxing saw Xiao Jingyuan and immediately greeted him.

Xiao Jingyuan asked: "Did you invite Ning to the banquet?" What did Ning Dangjia say? ”

The steward reported Ning Ningqing's original words, Xiao Jingyuan sneered, and said, "Ning Dangjia is big. ”

Xiao Jingyuan then asked again: "How is Master Gu's side?" ”

The steward replied: "After the silver was sent to Master Gu, he sent someone to guard it nearby, but there was no movement. It wasn't until an hour later that I saw Master Gu going out to watch the chess and went straight to Huacaiyuan. ”

"I knew it." Xiao Jingyuan said without surprise: "What kind of person is Ning in charge, that is a shrewd businessman who sees profits, how can he only bet on a peony?" I knew she had something else to do. ”

What Xiao Jingyuan didn't say was who Gu Xuesong was, if it weren't for Ningxia Qing, how could Gu Xuesong add another 5,000 taels at the end?

Xiao Jingyuan probably guessed which person was behind Gu Xuesong, and that person asked Gu Xuesong to be promoted by the city secretary in Meigong County, and he must have also taken into account the future wind direction, so he gave Gu Xuesong this good future.

The city's Bo Si Lift is a fat difference like flowing water, a few thousand taels of silver are placed in front of Gu Xuesong, Gu Xuesong may not even notice it, and Gu Xuesong is by no means a gambler, how can he be so active in betting in order to win this bit of silver?

Since that day, the reputation of "merit consummation" has been completely launched.

If it is said that Ningxia Qing used that flower meeting to pave a way for the "consummation of merit", Dong Zizhen used his mouth to gild the "consummation of merit".

Dong Zizhen transferred the events at the flower meeting, and there was such a saying, saying that Lin Hanhai personally praised the "consummation of merit" for having aura, ingenuity, fullness but not fullness, and charm.

Dong Zizhen didn't forget to "accidentally" reveal the things he had done in the Xue Mansion before. As a result, there are many anecdotes about the "consummation of merit".

Lord Gu was thoroughly identified as the one who bestowed the name on the "consummation of merit". And it is said that when the insiders in the cloth shop in Xue Mansion saw the "merit consummation" for the first time, they were shocked because of the "merit consummation".

Under the entrustment of Ningxia Qing, Zhao Xiang'e also shouted a few times without a trace.

A woman like Zhao Xiang'e, although she is in the hook bar, is praised by the literati as elegant. As long as she wears the "consummation of merit" on her body, some people will associate the simplicity of "consummation of merit" with her perfection.

As a result, the "consummation of merit" has not yet been put on sale, and it has already whetted everyone's appetite. On the day of the sale, Ningxia Qing did not hesitate to set the price of "merit consummation" at twenty-five taels, and set a daily price of only twenty horses.

The price is simply outrageous, but there are only a lot more people who come to buy it, and in less than an hour after opening every day, the entrance of Huacai Yuan has to put up a sign that reads "Merit Sold Out".
