Chapter 38: Impatience
When Su Rouer arrived at the corner gate, she saw that her sister had lost a lot of weight, and her expression was not as calm as before, so she only felt that her heart was sinking. Sister looks like this, I'm afraid something has happened at home!
Su Xue'er had something in her heart, she was in a hurry, and now that she saw her sister, her tears came out first, but she just held Su Rou'er's hand and didn't let go.
Su Rouer was busy comforting her sister, and pulled her sister out of the door without a trace, "Sister, don't cry first, everything has me!" ”
Su Xue'er held Su Rou'er's hand, "Brother doesn't know when he started gambling, he owes a thousand taels of silver to the Qianjintai Gambling House, can you get any money here?" ”
"One thousand taels!" Rao is Su Rouer now has some savings, and when she heard this thousand taels, her heart trembled fiercely.
"Rou'er, how much are you making up...... So they gave them three days, saying they were going to kill them. ”
Su Rouer was anxious and hateful at the moment, hating her brother's incompetence, but she couldn't really let go of it.
"Sister!" Su Rouer comforted her sister, "I know this matter, I'll go make up the money, don't worry when my sister goes back, listen to my brother-in-law in everything." ”
Su Xue'er nodded, which can be regarded as accepting.
Su Rouer sent her sister away and trotted all the way back to Fan Lou, the more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. She doesn't have much silver per month, plus the master's reward, the total is less than two hundred taels of silver!
Even if you ask everyone to get together and borrow a loan, you won't get five hundred taels of silver!
Su Rouer was only thinking about how much money she had at the moment, and hurriedly returned to the room, even when Chunshu called her, she didn't hear it.
Su Rouer flipped through the cash box she had filled herself, fell on the bed in one fell swoop, and counted it. Add some gold ornaments, and it's just two hundred taels.
If it is placed on weekdays, this is also a huge amount of money, but Su Dalang owes a gambling debt of 1,000 taels, and this amount of silver cannot be made up at all.
Su Rouer had no choice at the moment, so she gritted her teeth and went to find Mama Ge!
Su Rouer can't borrow from the maids under her hands, not to mention that they don't have so much silver, if their own private affairs are spread out, they don't know what rumors there are.
Mama Ge was about to take a nap, when she saw Su Rouer rushing in in a panic, looking like she was about to cry!
"What's wrong with you?" Mama Ge pulled Su Rou'er to sit on the edge of her bed, and her words were a little harsh, "But Concubine Liu is looking for trouble again?" You said that you are usually calm and calm no matter what, why did you panic like this today! ”
Su Rouer saw Mama Ge and said, "Mama Ge, my brother owes a thousand taels of silver to the gambling house for gambling money!" ”
"This and this......" Mama Ge's hand shaking with the box, "What is the reason for this?" How can a good child make such a sin! ”
After hearing Mama Ge's words, Su Rou'er couldn't stop her tears from falling, and her eyes were red from crying, "I'...... I can't help it! My sister came to me today and said that if I didn't give the money, I would kill someone! ”
Mama Ge was really pitiful when she saw Su Rouer like this, her eyes darkened, and she gave all the boxes in her hand to Su Rouer, "What a sin!" My wife has this little savings, don't dislike it, it's better to make up a little bit. ”
Su Rou'er's heart was cold, she was a newcomer who had just entered the palace, and she could still have two hundred taels of silver, not to mention Mama Ge, which obviously didn't want to meddle in things.
Su Rouer had a plan in her heart, wiped a handful of tears, and handed the box back to Mama Ge, "Mama Ge, I came to you to cry because I was in a hurry, you are so old, it is not easy to save some spare money, how can I ask for your money!" ”
Since Mama Ge didn't really want to help, she still didn't want to bear this kind of painless favor.
Mama Ge naturally asked Su Rou'er to be subordinate with sincere words, but Su Rou'er naturally refused, and after only saying a few words, she hurriedly retreated.
On this day, Su Rouer was in a trance, and she couldn't wait to measure everything she had with silver.
Su Rou'er was in a mess in her heart, although she endured it, her face was still not very good, and all the little girls didn't dare to come forward to speak, and even Chunshu didn't know what to do!
In the evening, King Jin came, and he still came to see the little princess!
Su Rouer asked people to hold the little princess to show the King of Jin, and made tea for the King of Jin herself, the hot water somehow spilled on her hands, Su Rouer's hand slipped, and the Ruyao tea cup commonly used by King Jin was broken.
This teacup is a complete set, if one piece is broken, the others can't be used, Su Rouer didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty to King Jin, "The slave is negligent...... Please punish the prince! ”
King Jin frowned, his face seemed to be a little displeased, he glanced at Su Rou'er, and didn't say anything to punish him, he just brushed his sleeves and left.
Seeing that King Jin was leaving, Chunshu stepped forward to put away the broken teacup and helped Su Rou'er, "Sister, what's wrong with seeing your family today?" I've never seen my sister make such a mistake! ”
Su Rouer was helped up by Chunshu, without saying a word, and after serving the King of Jin, she went out in a trance......
*
In King Jin's study, there was a smell of incense, and the two little girls stood in a regular manner, but from time to time they stepped forward to add some tea to the long table on the couch.
King Jin propped his hands on the long table, pinched the white chess pieces, squinted at the chess game in front of him, and didn't want to drop a piece.
Sitting opposite sat a scholar dressed as a Confucian scholar, holding a jade crown, a pair of fox eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, his fingers flicked his white robe, and the ink took a long time before it fell.
King Jin glanced at Gu Yuanzheng and snorted coldly.
Gu Yuanzheng had a stupid smile on his face, and touched his nose in embarrassment, "The prince conquered the city, thundered methods, and abandoned the car to protect the handsome in the next place to no avail." For now, we can only survive and delay for a while. ”
"Since you are so self-aware, why don't you just admit defeat, learn from the market scoundrels, and mess around here!" Today's game of chess has been stalemate for a long time, and King Jin looked at the little white face opposite coldly, extremely impatient.
Gu Yuanzheng shook his head disapprovingly, "Before the last moment, how do you know who killed the deer." If I win this game, it is naturally good, and if I don't win, I shouldn't let my opponent win so easily, isn't this a great disrespect for my opponent! ”
King Jin clasped his fingers on the table, naturally knowing his personality, and broke it in one sentence, "I'm afraid you just don't want this king to win so easily!" ”
"Lord Jin's words are so unreasonable." Gu Yuanzheng cleared his throat and replied seriously: "The chess game is bigger than the sky, this is the chess game being played." ”
King Jin was lazy to talk to him, just impatiently touching the chess pieces.
There was a noise outside the door, and the little girl immediately came over to report, "Lord Wang, Mama Ge is here." ”
King Jin nodded, meaning to let Mama Ge in, this will just be a chess pastime, there is no secret, and it will not hinder it.
Mama Ge came in and saluted King Jin, and immediately a little girl moved a stool over and helped Mama Ge sit down.
When Gu Yuanzheng saw Mama Ge coming in, he didn't say much, put on an expressionless face, and waited quietly.
"How many days are Xi'er?" Although the king of Jin ignored these things in the inner house, he was the only one who was full of love and devotion to the little county lord.
