Chapter 91, get some money to spend

Soon, the group was led by He Qian to a low house. The stone road here is no more than two meters wide, and only about one meter in the narrow places.

On both sides of the road, there are many wooden houses and adobe houses, and the sturdy brick houses are very rare, most of them have only one floor, and there are not many two-story houses. As if through the passage of time, the facades of many houses, especially those closer to the ground, are covered with moss.

Looking at the "green walls" of black tiles, Lu Zhan felt that seeing such a house in the huge city of Luoyang was really a bit like a slum in the 21st century -- some people were rich and lived in high-rise buildings, and some people were as poor as washing and living in low-rise huts.

"Polarization has not been solved even in the 21st century, which is an advanced civilization, let alone the end of the Han Dynasty more than a thousand years ago......," he sighed in his heart, thinking that he was about to meet his future mother-in-law, his face was a little hot, and he sighed, "Pity me for being shy and penniless to see my mother-in-law, I am really the poorest son-in-law in history." ”

There is a saying that the love is more timid when it is close to home, and the love is more true when it is close to home.

At this time, He Qian's mood was very excited, her fair cheeks were too excited and two blushes climbed up, her eyes were bright, as if covered with a layer of mist, and her two red lips were pursed tightly - even though there were a thousand words, she couldn't say them.

Looking at the familiar houses and alleys, she hurried her steps, eager to fly to her mother, cry and laugh for a while, and tell her the people she is closest and most familiar with what has happened to her these days.

Some children chasing and frolicking in the alley and some adults sitting in front of their houses saw He Qian, first greeted her with a smile, and then looked at the people walking behind her, with surprise in their eyes......

Soon, He Qian stopped in front of a small wooden house, and her whole body was faintly trembling because of her excitement. After taking a few deep breaths, she raised her hand and knocked on the door, which was unlocked and opened with a push.

"Mother-" she called affectionately.

"Mother-" On the other side, He Haifei quickly ran to the front of a two-story small building on the opposite side, and shouted loudly, "Quick, prepare some food, there are guests coming." ”

"Is your daddy's friend here?" A loud, even high-pitched, woman's voice said.

"No, it's Qianya...... It was my cousin's friend who came. ”

"Her friend is here, what do you want me to cook?"

"Mother, that's the case, her friend is rich."

"Really? Then I'll take a look, what does Qianya's friend look like? ”

……

In the sound of the conversation between the two mothers and sons, Lu Zhan's eyes looked into the wooden door that was pushed open, the light inside was dim, about a dozen square meters, there were pots and pans and other utensils on one side, and on the other side was an old wooden bed, on which there were some bedding.

This should be the "living room" of He Qian's house, behind which there is a wooden door on the left; There is a small room in the middle, which seems to be a kitchen; On the right is a straw hut under which a middle-aged woman sits in front of an old loom weaving.

Hearing He Qian's shout, she trembled and turned her head to look. When I saw that my daughter, who had not seen her for almost half a month, came back (at the beginning, He Chuan asked He Qian to go out to run errands, and she didn't tell her what was wrong), her already somewhat rough and dull face and slightly yellowed eyes suddenly appeared with great joy and joy, and she quickly got up and walked over, and said lovingly: "Qian'er, are you back?" ”

Suddenly, seeing He Qian followed by several people, she slowed down her steps and looked at her daughter with a questioning face.

"Mother, they are all my friends." He Qianyan ran over like a forest, grabbed the woman's hands, and said with some heartache, "Mother, are you weaving again?" Didn't I say that you have bad eyes, so you should do less work like this in the future. ”

Lu Zhan saw that the future mother-in-law was dressed simply, with a gentle face, and her height was only as high as He Qian's nose, and she looked like a weak woman, but she supported the family with her own shoulders, and pulled He Qian with hard work...... Thinking of how difficult it was for her to raise a single mother and raise a child, he couldn't help but twitch his nose and swore in his heart: "Mother-in-law-to-be, in the future, the son-in-law will not let Qian'er suffer a little, and you can also enjoy the happiness." ”

"I have nothing to do at home, just knit some cloth to pass the time, my mother hasn't done much, you don't have to worry." Mother He stretched out her calloused hands to caress He Qian's hair and said softly.

"Mother, I have some silver here, give it to you." He Qian knew that she went to weave cloth in spite of her bad eyes in order to make money to subsidize her family, so she immediately took out the remaining two ingots of silver on her body - she lived in Taoyuan Village for a few days, and wanted to give some silver to Hongyi, but the other party didn't ask for it.

"Where did you get all this money?" Mother He asked suspiciously-she had worked hard to weave cloth for a month, and she had only earned more than one or two pieces of silver.

"Yo, girl, are you back?" At this time, He Hai came over with his mother-in-law Zhu, and when she saw the silver taels in He Qian's hand, her eyes couldn't help but light up, and she said affectionately.

He Qian was about to stuff the silver into her mother's hand, and when she saw her coming, she gave her a piece of money and gave her another ingot: "Auntie, when I am not at home, thanks to you for taking care of my mother, this is a little bit of my niece's heart, not a tribute." ”

"Oh, my aunt hasn't hurt Qianya in vain over the years, and now that I'm rich, I also know how to honor my aunt and me, so good." Zhu reached out like lightning and grabbed the silver in He Qian's hand, and touched it again and again.

Lu Zhan saw that she looked a little similar to He Hai, with no body measurements, small eyes, thin lips, and a pointed chin, and listened to her speech "subdued and frustrated", thinking: If there is a mother, there must be a son.

"Mother, why don't you hurry up and prepare the food and drink and greet these friends?" He Hai urged.

"Uh-huh, you guests sit casually, the little woman is out of company." The Zhu family came and went quickly, and went in a hurry.

"Ah, you sit down, the place is too small, the greeting is not good, please don't be surprised." Mother He put the money away and turned around to find a stool for everyone to sit on.

He Qian poured tea and handed water to everyone. The room is too small, and it is okay for a few people to stand, but it is a little crowded when you sit down.

After Lu Zhan greeted He Mu, he saw He Hai standing beside him like a fart, and he looked like he wanted to say something, knowing what he was going to say, he called Shang Dian Wei to say goodbye to He Mu, and turned around and went out.

He Qian ran to the door like a little daughter-in-law, leaned against the door frame and told him to be careful.

"I'll go and get back soon." Lu Zhan smiled softly at her.

The three of them walked out of the alley and into the crowded street. Lu Zhan asked He Hai to lead the way.

"This future sister is not bad, although there was a little conflict when we met for the first time, but I can take the initiative to help me pay back the money, I don't care a lot about it." He Hai walked in front, familiar with the road, and thought to himself.

Half an hour later, the three of them turned a corner into a side street, and after a short walk, they saw a group of people gathered in front of the two chicken coops, pointing and talking to each other. There were two big roosters in the chicken coop, one white and one black, with a thick body and a bloody crown and an iron beak. There is also a sign next to it, which reads: Cockfighting game, White Tiger: Buy one and lose ten, you need to insist on a pillar of incense for the time undefeated; Black Phoenix: Buy one and lose one, you need to defeat the White Tiger in one-third of the time of the pillar of incense......

Soon, a white-faced and bearded boy in a brocade shirt came over with two tall and tall boys and accepted everyone's bets.

"I'll pay ten dollars to bet on Heifeng." "I'll pay 100 dollars to bet on the White Tiger." "One or two silver bets on the white tiger. "Two taels of silver bet on the black phoenix. ”……

As soon as he saw that someone was gambling, He Hai couldn't move his step, straightened his neck and looked at those excited bettors, and couldn't help but reach into his arms and touch it to see how much money he still had on his body.

"If you want to bet, bet on the white tiger for one hundred taels." Seeing him like this, Lu Zhan stopped, thinking: Money is tight, let's get some money to spend first, anyway, the brocade boy is also a "big money", so he said to He Hai.

And Dian Wei looked at the eyes of the two big roosters, and he wanted to roast them.

"Bet on the White Tiger? This is obviously losing, I have lost a lot of money on this, and I want to bet on Heifeng. He Haitou didn't reply.

"You don't bet on me." Lu Zhan strode past him, came to the crowd, and said to the brocade-shirted boy, "I bet on the white tiger for one hundred taels." ”

As soon as these words came out, the scene immediately exploded.

"He's not going to have a problem, is he?" "You can't be so bad if you have money." "People have money, can you manage it? ”……

"Okay, light the incense, the game begins." The boy in the brocade shirt was afraid that he would regret it, so he hurriedly asked someone to light incense and put chicken.

"My brother-in-law is rich, but he gave it away for nothing, alas......" He Hai saw that things could not be changed, and sighed.

Immediately, the two black chickens and white chickens out of the cage fought together as if they had a grudge, you went back and forth, vigorously pecked, and looked like they wanted to kill each other......

Seeing that Lu Zhan was dressed extraordinarily, although he didn't take out the silver to bet, he was not afraid that he would run away, and while looking at the incense that was lit on the ground, he was thinking about how much money he could make this time.

The incense was divided into three parts, with two red lines on it, and at this time, a third of the incense was not half burned.

"Come on, Black Phoenix." "The white tiger holds on." "The black phoenix pecked it to death. "The white tiger scratches its eyes. ”……

A group of gamblers shouted feverishly, as if they wanted to transform into black chickens or white chickens and fight in person.

When people were not paying attention, Lu Zhan used a finger flick stunt and flicked his fingers at the obviously powerful black phoenix.

An invisible energy shot like a sharp arrow towards the black phoenix that was soaring into the air and was about to peck at the white tiger.

"Oh oh ......" saw Hei Feng scream and fell to the ground. Seeing that the enemy was like this, Bai Feng fiercely pounced over and pecked fiercely.

"Huh?"

When everyone at the scene saw this result, they were shocked and shouted in disbelief, as if they saw the sun coming out in the west.
