The Xu family has been inherited for many years, and like other Han families, there are strict clan rules to regulate the clansmen. Among them, the third article of the Xu family rules is that the clansmen gamble, once discovered, they will be whipped for 30 or expelled from the house. Everyone in the family, from the concubine to the concubine, carefully obeyed it.

Xu Zhi'an once saw his cousin being punished to kneel in the ancestral hall because of the "Shuanglu" play, and was expelled from the house after being whipped for thirty years, while his cousin just lost his cousin's dowry.

Xu Zhian looked at the swaying crowd in front of him, his head was a little dizzy, he shook his head vigorously, a little sober, and suddenly saw the big face of the annoying fat man against his face, looking at himself with a smile, thinking that he had just mortgaged all the family property like an evil person. Xu Zhi stood up, pointed at the fat man with red eyes and said madly: "You are out of a thousand, every time you win, you are out of a thousand." ”

After hearing this, the fat man put on a look of being greatly wronged, and said with a suffocated mouth: "If you are lucky, you will be said to be out of a thousand, you ask who is present when they are not lucky." ”

At this time, everyone present coaxed: "Yes, who doesn't have a season of good luck, what's the matter, boy, can't you afford to win and lose?" ”

At this time, the shopkeeper of the gambling house squeezed in and said to Xu Zhi'an: "Xu Gongzi, this is not the first time you have come to our gambling house, you should know that we are not deceived and do a conscience deal." How? Would you like to check out our equipment? ”

Xu Zhi'an was angry when he heard the shopkeeper say, you can open a gambling house and deal with conscience, and Tong Su is not deceived. The people who opened the kiln Qinglou said that they were the yellow flower girls who had not gone out. was about to scold his mother, but he saw a group of big men slowly surrounding the shopkeeper. Xu Zhi'an immediately put away the swear words that he was about to blurt out.

The casino shopkeeper said again: "Young Master Xu, you are also a decent person in Mengjin, let's not be embarrassed here, how about you and this fat boy go to the side and drink a glass of water." ”

Xu Zhian looked at the shopkeeper and said helplessly: "Go and go." ”

The fat man was still aggrieved, and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, don't bully me into being a foreigner, help this little white face!" ”

The shopkeeper frowned and said: "Open the door to do business, what you pay attention to is that everyone who comes is a guest, how can there be a reason to help anyone, this fat boy, you don't have to say this again." ”

The fat man was waiting to say more, and when he saw the man behind the shopkeeper, they all stared at him, and hurriedly swallowed the words back, and muttered in a low voice: "I just reminded me!" ”

Everyone sat down next to them, the gambling game at the big table resumed, and the onlookers concentrated on buying big and small. At this time, the shopkeeper said with a smile: "Xu Gongzi, when you come to my gambling house on weekdays, your luck is not bad, you can always win some money and go out to spend money, do we Lao Qi say that you are out of thousands?" ”

Xu Zhian hung his head and said, "No." ”

The shopkeeper asked again: "Before you bet with this fat man today, did you win or lose?" ”

After Xu Zhi'an heard this, he jumped up and scolded: "Master, I killed all sides before, and my luck was very good, it was this fat man, and after the comer, he grinded and chirped and ruined the master's luck." ”

Shopkeeper Qi clapped his hands and said, "Okay, since Xu Gongzi could win before, why can't he win after that?" The same dealer, the same dice, what does this mean, it just means that this fat boy is more lucky. ”

After hearing this, the fat man straightened his chest, tilted his head proudly, and looked at Xu Zhi'an, whose face was like dirt, with disdain.

Shopkeeper Qi sighed and said, "It's only Xu Gongzi who blames you, you gambled too much." ”

Xu Zhi'an completely lost his temper after hearing this, he knew that in Mengjin, the shopkeeper Qi was a snake-like figure, black and white, and it was said that he was also a little colluded with the bandits in the mountains outside the city. Although the Xu family is not afraid of the shopkeeper of Naqi, Xu Zhian does not dare to inform the family of this matter, if the family knows about it, he Xu Zhian will be favored again, and if he loses the family property in the gamble, his father will not be able to protect him, and he will be expelled from the house. At that time, he was expelled from the Xu family and became a lonely person, and the shopkeeper of Qi did not take him to dismantle the bones and remove the meat.

Xu Zhi'an had no choice but to look at his dark-eyed cousin beside him for help.

Seeing Xu Zhi'an looking at him, the black circles hurriedly jumped up and said: "Shopkeeper Qi, this account has nothing to do with me, my cousin lost the bet, when the time comes, you have to help me testify!" ”

Xu Zhi'an looked at the people around him in surprise, his cousin followed him to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble every day, everything was his own money, at this time, his cousin suddenly turned back, he roared in a low voice: "Liu'an, you dare to ......"

Liu An, who had dark circles under his eyes, said: "Cousin, your Xu family has a big business, my Liu family doesn't have so much money, but today is all your bet, and I remind you to come." ”

Xu Zhi'an saw that Liu An took himself out, completely hopeless, pointed at Liu An and scolded: "I am flattered in every way on weekdays, but when it comes to the end, you actually leave me, okay, Liu An, you get out of me, if I escape this time, I will let you know what life is better than death." ”

Seeing the resentment in Xu Zhi'an's eyes, Liu An shrank back, and said, "Cousin, don't blame me, today you mortgaged this family property, don't say it's you, even your eldest brother can't escape from the house." I also have no choice, don't blame me. After saying that, Liu An slipped away.

Seeing this, the fat man stroked his palms and smiled: "Fat master, I have also opened my eyes, this cousin is really righteous enough." Little white face, what's the matter, you have to pay for this today, but I'm going to Xujiabao to find your father to comment on it! ”

Xu Zhi'an saw that everyone was staring at him, and knew that he couldn't be good today, so he simply said: "Say, how can you let me go, this shop and Zhuangzi can't be worth it to you, I think, my father can't give it to you." ”

Shopkeeper Qi smiled at this time: "You two don't hurt your harmony because of your little play, you can make money with your anger, this fat boy, Xu Gongzi is also our old guest, see if you can take a step back and see if there is any other solution." ”

When the fat man heard this, he hurriedly shouted: "Shopkeeper, what do you mean by this, do you know how much money is paid every year for 20 acres of cooked fields and two shops?" Although my family does not lack this little thing, I have won it, so why don't I want it. ”

The shopkeeper Qi was furious in his heart, and said viciously: "Fatty, you are a foreigner, what do you want this Mengjin ripe field to do?" Can you still ask your tenants to come to our Mengjin to farm? Here, you dare to harvest this field, I don't think you dare to plant, right? ”

Seeing this, the fat man also knew that this local snake was not easy to mess with, so he shrank back and said aggrievedly: "I knew that you Mengjin guys were bullying us foreigners. ”

Shopkeeper Qi smiled, and said softly: "Fat boy, a thousand sheep are in sight, it's better to have a rabbit in hand!" ”

The fat man looked at everyone, lowered his head and said aggrievedly: "Okay." ”

When the shopkeeper saw that the fat man was relieved, he also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then the fat boy, what do you want from Xu Gongzi?" ”

The fat man stood up, looked around Xu Gongzi up and down, left and right, and pinched Xu Zhi'an's little white face, making Xu Zhi'an hold his chest with both hands, and roared with a red face: "You ...... What do you want. ”

The fat man said disdainfully: "I don't have two taels of meat, I want to be a rabbit for the fat man, but the fat man still dislikes it." After that, the fat man's eyes lit up and he twisted: "Shopkeeper Qi, I have a reluctant request, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

The shopkeeper Qi said vigilantly: "Fatty, don't ask for a price." ”

The fat man blushed and said: "How dare you, fat man, hehe, I haven't married a wife yet, and it seems that I don't have much money to make today, so it's better to ask this Xu Gongzi to bring his inner man to me." I'm so ......."

Xu Zhi'an felt greatly insulted when he heard the fat man say this, and said with a red face and hatred: "What kind of goods do you dare to say such things." I am not married yet, but I have a wife, how can I pawn it to you? ”

When the fat man heard Xu Zhi'an's words, he immediately jumped up and scolded: "Give me a shameless thing, Lao Tzu, I don't want a woman today, I want a leg of this little white face." ”

Na Xu Zhi'an's face turned pale when he heard this, and he couldn't help but regret his impulse just now, and hurriedly looked at the shopkeeper with a begging gaze.

Seeing that Xu Zhian begged himself with his eyes, the shopkeeper Qi had to cough and said, "Fat boy, don't be impulsive." Xu Gongzi, you too, is your life important, or is it important to be a woman? I think this fat guy is quite reasonable, why are you so ignorant. It's better like this, do you have any fiancée, outer room or anything like that, as long as you look cute, the fat boy just wants to pass on the lineage, and he doesn't want to rob your wife, why are you so excited? ”

Xu Zhi'an was about to say no, when his eyes suddenly flashed, and he asked the fat man, "Is it okay to have an outer room?" ”

The fat man looked like a pig brother, salivating and said, "Uninhibited, beautiful?" ”

Xu Zhi'an said proudly: "Petite and cute." ”

The fat man was even more excited, touched his big belly, and hurriedly aligned himself with the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, I like petite and lovely." ”

Shopkeeper Qi smiled and said, "Okay, okay, that's right, harmony makes money, harmony makes money." ”

I saw that the fat man suddenly said: "What if this little white face deceives me and sends me away with a yellow-faced woman, I don't care, you Qi shopkeeper will send someone to follow me to see, I am satisfied, this account will be written off, if not, my fat man will tear his face and make a big fuss in Xujiabao." ”

The shopkeeper Qi was also helpless by this fat man, so he had to nun his mouth and said to the two big men behind him: "Follow Xu Gongzi, go and see, if this fat boy is satisfied, you will come back." ”

The two men behind him bowed down.

Cao Hong saw that the fat man was leading Xu Zhian and the two thugs out of the door, and hurriedly followed. I saw a group of people, carrying Xu Zhi'an around and around, and actually came to the small courtyard of Kushui Lane that day.

Xu Zhi'an looked at the three people next to him, gritted his teeth and said, "This is it." ”

The fat man snorted at him and said, "Knock on the door." ”

Xu Zhi'an was furious when he heard this: "I will bring you and others, what are you waiting for?" ”

The fat man said disdainfully: "What, can you find a random one, and I will knock on the door too, fat man?" ”

Xu Zhi'an listened, so he had to step forward and pat the door of the small courtyard a few times, and then a female voice from the courtyard asked, "Who?" ”

Xu Zhian replied stiffly: "It's me." ”

The door of the small courtyard opened with a "squeak", and Cao Hong saw that it was the butterfly he saw that day.

Die'er opened the door, and suddenly saw so many men standing at the gate of the courtyard, and hurriedly looked at Xu Zhi'an in panic and asked, "Xu Lang, are they?" ”

Xu Zhixin was like a knife, and muttered: "Yes...... It's some friends. ”

Die'er said happily: "This is the first time Xu Lang has brought friends to me, please come in." ”
