Chapter 20, The First Discussion of Family Affairs
"Hmph, this girl from the Li family is a good one, but don't forget that the Li family also has a son." Hearing this, Father Shen snorted coldly.
"What happened to the son of the Li family? I heard that although he is not a master of reading, he has no evil deeds! Mother Shen was a little puzzled.
This Taiping County is so big, whoever has something to do, a gust of wind can blow into the ears of others, and they still know each other.
"Hmph, there are no evil deeds, but I just can't control my hands, I have recently become addicted to gambling, and I owe a large amount of gambling debts to Huixing Casino, maybe just these few days, the people in the gambling house will come to collect debts."
"Really?" Shen's mother was also a little surprised, her own Mu'er was watched very closely by their husband and wife, and they didn't care if they wandered around the street and teased the little girl, if she really dared to gamble, I was afraid that she would be the first to be a mother.
Rich and noble families are addicted to gambling, and they may go bankrupt overnight, not to mention their small civilian families.
"Naturally it's true, what can I hide from this thing on the street, as far as the Li family's background, Li Xiucai's study has been tossed at the beginning, although there is a bundle of Li Xiucai's school, but there is a lot of money, the casino is a bottomless pit, where did Li Xiucai get the money to pay off gambling debts?
At that time, they will not be able to take out the silver, I still have two percent of the dry shares in this casino, and then I can help to maneuver around, so as to avoid the luck of the Li family, and then we will send someone to the Li family to propose relatives, I think this Li Xiu will know what to do. β
Father Shen's words at this time showed a little ruthlessness.
"But this is not good, a pedantic person like Li Xiucai, I am afraid that he will go bankrupt, and he will not compromise easily, not to mention, this Miss Li has such a gambling brother, if she really becomes an in-law in the future, I am afraid that we will be dragged down Mu'er?"
If Shen's mother was quite satisfied with Miss Li before, but at this time, like all mothers-in-law in the world, she always wanted to find the best daughter-in-law for her son.
"Hmph, isn't this kid surnamed Li a gambler? When he really becomes our Mu'er's brother-in-law, he will govern him for the way his husband has. Today, Mu'erβ"
"What's wrong with Mu'er?"
"It's nothing, Mu'er will be fine." Father Shen still didn't say after all, the only man in black who was injured and didn't die tonight had a relationship with him a few days ago.
That day, he and Wang Cheng were in the suburbs and accidentally saw Feng Da with the man in black at that time.
As for what the man in black came from, he really didn't know, but this Feng Da heard that a certain noble person had been attached recently, could it be that this man in black was related to that nobleman?
He didn't dare to think deeply about the past, but the death of the man in black and his four companions was quite strange.
And the knife of the dead man in Tsing Yi, if that knife is the man in Tsing Yi? So?
He didn't dare to think further.
Also, today's incident, although his son and the others were quite clever, climbed the tree in advance and escaped the catastrophe, but he always felt that something was very wrong in the middle.
Son, it's a little weird indeed.
Perhaps, he should send a letter to the person in the city of Nanking and hear what that person thinks.
As for Feng Da? Looks like it's time to keep an eye on it.
After finding out the details of the noble person to whom the other party was attached, he would consider whether to let this guy die.
Shen Mu walked out of the east wing, but he didn't know that the parents in the room were thinking about his life events.
Three strangers became his relatives at once, and he had no memory of the original owner, and he didn't know how the original owner and his family got along on weekdays.
Therefore, he felt that in the next few days, he would still make a look of not letting go of Shen's father slapping him, so as not to arouse suspicion.
Out of the East Wing, he didn't know where his room was.
But think about it, Shen's mother asked that sister to help him fetch bath water just now, and with the family conditions of the original owner, it is impossible to build a special bathroom for bathing.
Well, it can only be bathed in your own room with a wooden barrel.
He stood in the courtyard and saw that there were three houses with lights.
In the end, which one is your own residence.
There is one room in the house on the right, which is lighted, and there is also one room in the west wing, which is also lighted.
Just as he was hesitating and pretending to look up at the changes in the dark clouds in the sky, he saw the little sister of the Shen family walking out of the house on the right side with a wooden barrel.
It looks like it's an empty bucket, and the house on the right should be his residence.
He greeted him, but he didn't know what the name of this sister was, so he simply said directly: "Little sister, I'm tired." β
But as if she had not heard him, the sister ghostly floated past him with a barrel.
This...... This...... Is the original owner so annoying this sister? Don't even want to say a word?
That's it, the coming day is long, and today has experienced so many things in just one day, he needs to calm down first and summarize the situation.
As for the relationship with this sister, let's wait until we find out the reason for the deterioration of our relationship in the future, and then improve it.
When I entered the room, there was a large wooden bucket in the middle of the room, and the water was still steaming in it.
He didn't rush to start taking a bath, but looked at the whole room.
The area of this room is not large, only about fifteen square meters, the layout is not luxurious, but it is clean, it seems that the original owner is indeed a person who likes to be clean.
There was not a single book in the room, so naturally there was nothing like pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
There is a pear wood table and two chairs.
There are two good calligraphy and paintings on the wall, which are the works of mountain people.
Although there is a simple bogu shelf, there are also a few small knick-knacks of little value on it, and there are a few carved semi-finished products.
These semi-finished products are all a girl, and the reason why they are called girls is that they are in the form of a woman from the lower part of the semi-finished products of this carving.
As for why it is said to be a semi-finished product?
It's all because this girl doesn't have a face, and her face hasn't been carved out yet.
At first, he thought that the reason why this woman had no face was because she was Shen's mother, and Shen's mother was disfigured, and as a son, he couldn't bear to carve his mother's face out.
But after a closer look, he felt that it was wrong, the head hairstyle of this statue was clearly that of a young woman, and it could not be Shen's mother.
Think about the male protagonist is also a half-sized boy.,Could it be a young Mu Ai.,A certain little girl you like?
Due to the strict defense and etiquette of men and women in this ancient world, it is not possible to directly carve out the appearance of women?
It's just that I don't know how much intersection this girl has with the original owner, in case she meets her on the street one day, won't she be exposed?
It's best that the original owner is just unrequited love, and if he is already in love with the other party, it will be a troublesome thing.
Because emotional matters are the most uncontrollable, not to mention, he still hopes to complete the tasks assigned by the system as soon as possible, win the ultimate great welfare, and be reborn in his previous life?
How can you be willing to be involved in emotional debt in this life?
