Chapter 61: Suzhou Night is in the middle

It started to snow in Suzhou in the early morning, so Shen Wuyan didn't go for a run, but went to another place.

There is a gambling house on the north side of Shiquan Street, called Shen Si Xuan. Although it shows that the gambling ban was strict at the beginning, in recent years, the gambling house has quietly risen, although it is not to be widely publicized, but it has been opened to Shiquan Street.

Shen Wuyan put away the oil-paper umbrella and looked up at the word Shen Si, couldn't help but chuckle, and said, "If you can think carefully, how can this gambling house be opened?" ”

"Mr. Speechless, this is a little paranoid." Saying this, a brightly dressed scholar walked out of Shen Sixuan, took Shen Wuyan's umbrella and handed it to the man, and then continued: "If you really understand gamblers, then this word Shen Si has another thought. ”

The two of them walked into the gambling house one after the other, and a carriage also passed in front of Shen Sixuan's door, the carriage curtain was lifted, and an old man poked his head out of it and happened to fall on Shen Wuyan.

Then he put his head back and snorted coldly: "I think he is just an ordinary literati, and it's good to write a few poems and play tricks on weekdays." But I didn't expect that he was still a prodigal son who went in and out of the gambling house, how could the Li family tolerate such a person? ”

As soon as the old man said this, the middle-aged man with a goatee on the side also echoed: "The poems may not have been written by him, and when I came from Hangzhou, I met the son of the Zhou family, and said that there were many deviations in the circulation of the poetry meeting that night." …… Shen Wuyan may not be able to be the name of this talent. ”

The old man's face became more and more gloomy, and he said angrily: "Xinglong, don't worry, you will definitely not let this kid have anything to do with my Li family." ”

……

After entering Shen Sixuan, Shen Wuyan and the scholar went up the stairs to the second floor with the scholar and found a private room by the window.

The scholar continued: "If a real gambler sees the word "cautious", he will be sure that he is really cautious, so he will not doubt whether he is dizzy when placing a bet, but he also feels that it is normal to spend a lot ......of money. ”

"So that's it." Shen Wuyan couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that the black three ...... Oh no, Brother Wei Jing really understands human nature...... No wonder the Hu family has made it happen. ”

It turned out that since leaving Xu Shangzhen that day, Shen Wuyan had thought of this strategy, but he had never thought of a suitable candidate, and later bumped into Hei San on the street.

After several conversations, Shen Wuyan learned that the other party's real life was called Shen Weijing, who was originally a gangster in the Suzhou market, and often made a living by cheating, and had deceived ordinary people over the years, as well as the prefect Dayuan, in short, he deceived everything.

So Shen Wuyan handed over the matter from Hu Yuming's side to Shen Weijing, and the matter was done like this.

"Mr. Speechless said that he laughed, you can call me Heisan." Although Shen Weijing's words were polite, he was actually very proud: "I originally thought that the Hu family would be so difficult, but I didn't expect it to be so. ”

Shen Wuyan hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Brother Wei Jing is polite, you have a unique skill, but even the Governor didn't notice the abnormality, it is really amazing, even if Kong Ming is alive, it will be difficult to defeat you in the slightest." ”

This is naturally a compliment, Shen Weijing naturally heard it, he smiled faintly, and said: "It was originally a lie, and Mr. Wuyan doesn't need to say it so noblely, you can rest assured, since you take the silver, you won't talk nonsense." ”

In fact, he came here for this matter, and since Shen Weijing saw the key at a glance, Shen Wuyan didn't plan to continue chatting, he threw a letter to Shen Weijing.

"Shen Weijing, born in Jiajing for 20 years, is a native of Jiaxing. In the early years, he had a quarrel with someone because of gambling, and after killing someone, he fled to Suzhou and ...... with money lure. ”

"Alright." Shen Weijing's expression suddenly dimmed, the previous smile completely faded, he looked at Shen Wuyan in a panic, and said coldly: "How can you have these things." ”

Shen Wuyan smiled lightly: "It's nothing, it's just that I found that the prefect likes to collect calligraphy and paintings, so I spent some silver to help him pay off the loan over the years...... Naturally, his old man will not treat me badly, so this ...... But Brother Jing doesn't have to worry, although Shen said that he kept this hand, he wouldn't do anything to you, and of course he wouldn't use it to blackmail you. ”

The high-spirited Shen Weijing from before was extremely decrepit at the moment, he glanced at Shen Wuyan vigilantly, and sneered: "Mr. Wuyan is still smart, I thought that I would have some benefits in keeping this stubble in the future, but I didn't expect ......." ”

"You and I are fair." Shen Wuyan spoke, handed a silver ticket of five thousand taels to Shen Weijing, and said indifferently: "I have really spent a lot of silver in the past few days, which is really distressing......

"If it is done, why not the 20,000 pieces of silver...... There will be at least a hundred thousand taels of silver. Shen Weijing said this, and sighed deeply.

Shen Wuyan smiled slightly, but Shen Weijing handed over the letter, then got up and arched his hand: "I will go to the Li family in a while...... By the way, do you know Zhou Yan over there? If you have a chance, you can meet him. ”

"There was a one-time acquaintance." Where does Shen Weijing care about Zhou Yan at this time, he knows very well that if Shen Wuyan takes out the things on the letter and makes a big fuss, he will not escape death.

After leaving Shen Sixuan, Shen Wuyan hurried back to the teahouse, changed into a decent dress, and then took Yue'er to drive the carriage to the Li family.

Although the Li family meeting was scheduled for the evening, in the afternoon, people from all sides had already arrived from all directions, after all, this matter had not happened for many years, so most of them seemed a little surprised.

Several good people also began to inquire about the cause of the matter, but the Li family, who had been in Suzhou for a long time, was well aware of these things of the Li family, so they shared them with those clansmen who did not understand.

“…… You said that Mr. Shen who wrote "The Story of Stones"? It's not very clear when Wan'er will have this marriage contract. ”

"It stands to reason that since Dafang has made a marriage contract, our family shouldn't talk too much here, but the seventh uncle is there...... Alas, I really don't know what to think. ”

"I can't say that, the seventh uncle is also thinking about our Li family, and now that our Li family embroidery village has taken the imperial business, we naturally need a lot of raw silk, so we have to have a good relationship with the Hu family......"

"Yo, Xiuzhuang's side is responsible for Sanfang Xinglong's side, and now he has ruined Wan'er's marriage, and he is the most diligent, I really don't know what An's mind is."

While chatting here, Shen Wuyan went to the living room where Li Xingchang was under the greeting of the doorman.

At this time, Li Xingchang was the only one in the tea hall, and he looked at Shen Wuyan with a sad face and said, "Actually, I don't plan to let you come, and this matter is ...... It's also a little embarrassing, but the seventh uncle insists on asking you to come over...... You don't have to. ”

"Since it's a verdict on my marriage, I'm naturally going to come over and have a look." Shen Wuyan smiled lightly: "If Wan'er feels inconvenient, you can avoid it first, so as not to cause other incidents later." ”

Li Xingchang nodded, then opened his mouth to speak, and then said, "There are still some things to arrange over there, I will send someone over to inform you later, now wait for a while." ”

Looking at Li Xingchang, who was leaving, Yue'er, who was standing aside, said unhappily: "This is the Li family's hospitality?" The young master is also quite famous in Suzhou no matter what, how can he be hung here. ”

Shen Wuyan just smiled and didn't answer Yue'er's words.

Just as Shen Wuyan was about to drink tea with his teacup, a young man in a short robe in a sackcloth walked into the tearoom.

He glanced at Yue'er behind Shen Wuyan, then looked at Shen Wuyan, and then hugged his fists and said, "If you do it in the next place, Your Excellency will ......." ”

The young man in front of him was quite kind between his eyebrows, and the reason why he came here was because he was going around casually, so Shen Wuyan didn't care much, but said lightly: "Shen Wuyan is down." ”

"It turned out to be Mr. Shen." Hearing Shen Wuyan say his name, Yu Ruoxing's face became obviously vigilant, but if he didn't look carefully, he wouldn't be able to detect it, and after a little hesitation, he continued: "But I don't know what Mr. Shen is ...... today." ”

"Come to the Li family's clan meeting this time." Shen said without words.

Yu Ruoxing nodded, and suddenly said, "Is that Mr. Shen who wrote Mulan's words?" ”

Shen Wuyan couldn't help but glance at the young man again, but he didn't expect him to know this word, but before Shen Wuyan could speak, Yu Ruoxing said again: "When I was in Zhejiang, I heard that Sister Wan'er likes Mr. Shen's "Stone Record" very much, if you let him know that you are also here today, he will definitely be very happy." ”

Shen Wuyan was stunned and said curiously: "Wan'er...... Younger sister? ”

Yu Ruoxing was also stunned and explained: "It's Li Wan'er, the eldest lady of the Li family, I grew up with him, and I can be described as a childhood sweetheart...... ”

"Yu Gongzi turned out to be not from Suzhou...... Shen Wuyan said in his heart, could it be that this person didn't know his relationship with Li Wan'er.

Yu Ruoxing immediately smiled: "Naturally, I am from Suzhou, but I have been a shopkeeper in Hangzhou in the past few years, so I haven't found time to go back to Suzhou." ”

"It's a young man, and he became a shopkeeper at such an age, which is really good." Shen Wuyan said with a smile.

Being said by Shen Wuyan, Yu Ruoxing said proudly: "That's natural, if it is said that the dance text is ink, I am not as good as Mr. Shen." …… But when it comes to doing business, I'm afraid Mr. might as well be in the next place. ”

When he said this, Shen Wuyan heard that Yu Ruoxing was probably also a person along with Zhang Boning and Hu Yuming, all of whom were in favor of Li Wan'er, but they had been unable to do so due to many obstacles over the years.

"Actually, I have known for a long time that Wan'er's sister had a marriage contract, but I just said that the scholar was stupid, how could she be worthy of her, this time I came for this matter, no matter what, I want to stop Wan'er and the scholar's marriage contract."

Shen Wuyan couldn't help but smile and said, "Since people have a marriage contract...... I think Yu Gongzi is still ...... Don't mix it up. ”

"Sir, this is not right, if Sister Wan'er can marry Young Master Hu, it can actually convince me, but if you marry that scholar...... I couldn't say yes. ”

Shen Wuyan didn't care, and while the two were chatting like this, a maid came over and said that the clan meeting was about to start and asked Shen Wuyan to go over.
