Chapter 4: The Humble Man
Thinking of this, Leng Yue couldn't help but scold the original owner, there was such a gentle and kind beauty in the family who didn't know how to cherish it, but she just went to the Qinglou to fight for prostitutes, and finally put her own life on the line.
It's just that she died a hundred, but this fairy-like man almost ruined his life because of her. In this feudal era, the fate of widows is worse than that of Qinglou prostitutes, they are ominous people who are spurned by the world, this Meng Xingchen has already had the reputation of a disaster star, if Feng Lengyue really dies this time, then he will definitely not live in the end.
Leng Yue was still complaining about Mengxing Morning in her heart, and Mengxingchen walked in with two bowls, and said to her with a smile, "Wife, you are hungry, I have warmed up the steamed buns and meat, you can eat it quickly." ”
After speaking, put two bowls and a pair of chopsticks in front of her, Leng Yue looked at the bowl of meat and two steamed buns in front of her, and felt that her stomach was indeed very hungry, she picked up the steamed buns and took a bite, and saw that Meng Xingchen was just standing next to her and watching, pointing to the stool next to him and saying to him, "You can also sit down and eat together." ”
Her words made Meng Xingchen a little flattered, but he still smiled and shook his head, "I've already eaten, wife, you can eat." In fact, he didn't eat, but drank two bowls of water in the kitchen, because there was only this little food left in the house, and he didn't dare to eat it, because he was afraid that his wife would beat him again when he didn't have enough to eat.
Leng Yue knew that he was lying as soon as he saw his expression, so he said to him with a somewhat serious expression, "Be obedient, sit down and eat with me." After speaking, he put another steamed bun on his hand, only to find that his hands were full of wounds, and some of them had turned thick.
Meng Xingchen frowned when he saw her looking at his hand, and immediately hid his hand behind him, lowering his head and not daring to look at her, he was afraid of seeing disgust in her eyes.
This kind of him made Leng Yue feel very uncomfortable, she moved her lips, and finally didn't say anything, because she didn't know what to say anymore, the cruel life had covered up this man's self-confidence, making him a timid and inferior appendage who would only be careful to please others.
sighed in his heart, took his hand, asked him to sit down, and then tore the steamed bun into a small piece and fed him, Meng Xingchen looked at her in shock, mechanically cooperating with her movements, until there was a feeling of fullness in his abdomen that he came back to his senses, and found that the steamed bun and the bowl of meat had been eaten by him. His face immediately turned red, and the whole person looked at a loss.
Leng Yue saw that he finally came back to his senses, and said to him with a smile, "Are you still hungry, if you are hungry, there is still a steamed bun to eat here, you are not in good health, eat more, I am in good health, it's okay not to eat a meal." ”
Hearing her words, Mengxing Chen shook his head violently, looking at her in disbelief, is this person who is so gentle to him really his wife?
Seeing him shake his head, Leng Yue didn't say anything anymore, ate the steamed bun in his hand in three or two times, and then said to him, "It's late, let's sleep." "She now has something in her stomach, but her body feels very tired.
Meng Xingchen nodded and said to her, "Wife, you should rest early." With that, he picked up the bowl on the table and prepared to go out. He didn't dare to stay long, for fear that she would be angry.
Leng Yue grabbed him, put the bowl in his hand on the table, then took him to the edge of the bed and sat down, helped him take off his shoes, let him go to bed, took off his shoes himself, opened the folded quilt on the bed, and directly hugged him and fell asleep. She knew that in the past, as soon as the original body went home to sleep, she would drive him out, but it was so cold at night, where could he go?
Meng Xingchen was stiff because of her movements, and he didn't dare to move, Leng Yue patted him on the back and said to him gently, "Relax, close your eyes and sleep now, and talk about it tomorrow." ”
Meng Xingchen slowly relaxed his body after she fell asleep, and today she made him feel as if he had changed a person, not only did he not beat and scold him, but he was also very gentle with him, and now let him sleep in the same room with her, if before, as long as she came back to sleep at home, he would be kicked out of the house.
He was still worried that he was going to the kitchen again tonight to get cold, and now it was April, and the night would be very cold. But he didn't expect that she would be so good to him, he smiled and closed his eyes, I really hope it wasn't a dream.
Leng Yue didn't open her eyes until he fell asleep, she was actually very tired, but she just couldn't sleep, she also had some uneasiness in her heart about this completely unfamiliar world, but she had to adapt herself as soon as possible, this man, it would be her responsibility in the future, she couldn't let him suffer like before, but now that she is poor and white, how can she give him a comfortable life?
In the morning, Meng Xingchen woke up, and after getting up, he found that Leng Yue was no longer there, and seeing that the money bag he put in the embroidery frame was gone, a pain crossed his eyes, and his wife went to gamble again.
Meng Xingchen guessed correctly, Leng Yue did go to the casino, because last night, she thought all night, and the fastest way to get money was to gamble, so she took Meng Xingchen's money bag and prepared to use the money in this money bag to start a business.
According to the memory of the original owner, she came to a very large casino, which had a nice name, called Yingjinfang.
Walking in, there was a lot of people inside, some people cheered loudly, and some people hung their heads in despair. This is the casino, and it is the liveliest place at any time.
Leng Yue took a turn inside, and the types of gambling in this casino are really complete, there are almost forty or fifty kinds of gambling in large and small.
In the end, Leng Yue chose a kind called Thousand Illusions, which is played by fewer people, but Leng Yue feels that it is very suitable for her, because this test is people's eyesight, not gambling skills, the gameplay is very simple, three cups, one of which has dice in it, as long as you guess it, even if you win.
Leng Yue came to the gambling table and said to the listless dealer, "Boss, what kind of compensation method do you have?" ”
As soon as the man heard her words and knew that there was business coming to the door, his eyes lit up instantly, and he said to her enthusiastically, "Miss, you choose to play this is the most correct, I see that you are a person of good luck, and I, this one, rely on luck." And it's still five to one. ”
In fact, she is here because she has no business, so she changed the original one to three to the current one to five. Looking at the other dealers in the gambling house, there are a lot of silver coming in every day, and only she is the least, which makes her feel very uncomfortable. Now that a gambler has finally arrived, she must leave the person behind and let the person lose all before leaving.
Leng Yue nodded: "Let's start then." And when he had finished speaking, he poured all the money from the purse upon it. When the boss saw it, he was extremely disappointed, only two or two!
Originally, she saw that Leng Yue's overall popularity was extraordinary, and she thought she was a big customer!
Still, it's better than nothing. So, she began to take the cup on the table and quickly changed it.
