The flames hung in the air, and the whole city of Guangzhou was wilted, and when summer came, it was hot and stuffy like a big steamer, steaming people out of breath.

The dormitory of the Dutong lord in the inner house of the Dutong Yamen has windows in front and back, and the soft curtains with big red flowers are raised high, so as not to blow in the hall.

Ye Zhao was lying on a plum blossom-style lacquered rattan chair, closing his eyes and recuperating, he had just eaten lunch, and he was too lazy to move.

Ye Zhao is now wearing a "T-shirt and shorts", of course, quite a Qing Dynasty characteristics, Hangzhou Hengtai Zhai's satin, Guangzhou Dongcheng Yuzhenxuan's master according to Ye Zhao's sketch to carefully tailor, although it is a high-quality material, but to wear it like this, I am afraid that I will not be regarded as a beggar if I am not seen as a psychopath.

When Ye Zhao made summer clothes for himself, he didn't forget Rong'er and the four girls, and he was stunned that the master who was grinding the jade needle Xuan cut five sets of cheongsams for the later generations, of course, it must be long-sleeved, and the jade arms cannot be exposed, and the hem slit is extremely small. Still, who wants to wear it?

Leaning on Ye Zhao's recliner, it is the same plum blossom-style lacquered rattan chair, just a little smaller, Rong'er is wearing a cute little cheongsam made by Ye Zhao and sleeping soundly on it, the hem of the cheongsam, revealing green satin shirts, and then down is a pair of beautiful small flag shoes embroidered with blue flowers on a high wooden bottom.

Rong'er was coaxed by Ye Zhaolian to wear a new-style cheongsam, and as for the four girls, they didn't dare to disobey the master's "Yinwei", but naturally this kind of dress was only limited to the inner house.

Wearing this kind of cheongsam is to highlight the beauty of women's curves, and the towering breasts are extremely attractive, but it is better to wear a bra, but no matter how confused Ye Zhao is, he will not go to Hong Kong to buy a few sets of bra clothes for each of the girls, but secretly told Rong'er that she wanted Rong'er to tell the girls to tie her chest and wear a cheongsam, but she was persuaded by Rong'er that her husband was not in good health, so she had to take care of her life. I'm worried about being lustful, but I don't know what ridiculous tricks I'm going to play with the girls, and I can't go to the root of the disease.

Ye Zhao naturally didn't know why, he was confused, but he didn't care.

Gently shaking the folding fan to fan the little guy cool, and pondered, this style of cheongsam should be placed in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Xiguan and other places of Chinese merchant families, I am afraid that it can be slowly accepted, but instead it is to write a letter to Shanghai, and ask Huang Wenxiu to implement the green cloth cheongsam in the women's college, as long as someone dares to wear it out on the street, it is certain that it will slowly become popular in the concession.

The little guy slept very soundly, as if lying next to Xianggong, extremely relieved and comfortable, and fell asleep after a while.

Ye Zhao looked at her and chuckled, I really hope that she will grow up happily like this and not worry about anything.

Shaking the folding fan, I can't think of the new army of rifles, if you want to say that an army wants to have combat effectiveness, you must have faith, such as the "loyal monarch" of the Hunan army of Zeng Guo, and the "worship of God" of the Taiping army, and Su Hongniang's is even more absolute.

What about the three battalions of Zhenwei, Zhenwu, and Zhenhe, and what faith should be instilled in them? However, it is good to instill any faith, and now is not the right time, but it can only ask them to respect it, establish their own authority, and be loyal to the king, let alone mention it.

Everything is really difficult at the beginning! Ye Zhao shook the folding fan, only to feel a thousand things, and he didn't know how many things he had to decide. Inexplicably, I remembered Ruisi again, it has been more than ten days in a flash, and I don't know if the matter at Ruyi's brother's house has been resolved.

……

Ye Zhao naturally didn't know that Ruisi at this time was surrounded by Tao Lao Er with a group of house slaves.

The east gate of the sea building is magnificent, although the building is three floors high, but it is categorically impossible to see the sea, at this time on the third floor of the Tianzi No. 1 room, Tao Lao Er is majestic, pointing at Rui Si's nose and scolding.

There are more than a dozen servants around Tao Lao Er, including several tiger back nurses, and Rui Siben was eating wine with a man and a woman in Room No. 1, and was blocked by Tao Lao Er, and his face turned white with fright.

Tao Lao Er is fat like a round ball, and he is about to gasp for breath after walking a few steps, but at this moment, his chubby round face is shining, as if it is filled with chicken blood, pointing at Rui Si and scolding, Rui Si's thin monkey appearance is in stark contrast to him, which is particularly funny.

I can't complain that Tao Lao Er is excited, and finally found someone who dares to provoke him, or if I don't pick his skin, I still call Shangxiguan Dashao? Wang's oil mill, seeing that the deal was about to arrive, was suddenly intercepted, and after many inquiries, I learned that it was the leprosy ghost of Taihe, who bought it through an intermediary, but the people of the old Wang family didn't know that the buyer was him, but even if you turn eight corners, this matter on the boundary of Xiguan can still escape my eyes?

Tao Lao Er is so excited, I have to find something to do, and now someone is provoking him, so I don't need to say it? At that moment, he took someone to smash the Taihe to a pulp, slapped the autumn shopkeeper a few times, and the old immortal nose was bleeding, so he told the whereabouts of the tuberculosis ghost, and Tao Lao Er immediately brought people to Wanghai Tower.

As soon as he entered the house, he lifted the table, and the dishes fell to the ground with a thud, and the tuberculosis ghost splashed with oil.

"Just you? Dare to play tricks with my grandfather? Want to secretly eat ready-made ones to take advantage of grandpa? If I don't kill you today, I won't be surnamed Tao! ”

Tao Lao Er arrogantly pointed at Rui Si's nose and scolded him too much, and wanted to ask someone to start fighting, but his eyes suddenly lit up, but he saw that the girl next to the tuberculosis ghost had willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, and her complexion was fair, and she was very watery, with an emerald green jacket skirt, and her figure was even more attractive, and at a glance, she knew that she was a woman from a good family.

Tao Laoer's heart is hot, he likes to taste the freshness of a good woman, maybe he was scared by his wife, although he has long been out of it in front of his wife, but he likes to use the strong one for other women, and he is majestic every time.

"Little girl, don't be afraid, come here, don't bump into it for a while!" Tao Lao Er smiled with a silver smile and beckoned to the girl who was very smart.

Seeing that the girl was hiding behind Rui Si, Tao Laoer's face sank, and he was about to ask someone to start a fight to drag the girl over, but he saw the thin monkey laughing, and gave his hand again and again: "Second master, second master, dissipate your anger, this is my sister, my sister." ”

"What's wrong with your sister? Lao Tzu likes to sleep with his sister, can't he treat you as his uncle? Tao Lao Er rolled his eyes, and the people behind him laughed. He saw that the tuberculosis ghost was not as arrogant as last time, and when he saw that he was soft, he felt a little relieved.

"Cheng, Cheng, it's my honor to marry the second master." Rui Si looked flattering.

"Okay, ask your sister to sleep with me for one night, and then give me two hundred taels of silver from the oil mill, and today's matter will be revealed!" Tao Laoer's words caused a burst of ill-intentioned laughter behind him.

Rui Si walked to Tao Laoer's side and said with a smile: "Second master, if you want to say that the oil mill is to give you for nothing, but you don't know, I was originally an errand runner, and the oil mill was bought by our owner, yes, the deed is now with me, but I want to sell you for two hundred taels of silver?" Our host didn't break my leg? ”

"Then call your hosts out! Grandpa, I told him! Tao Lao Er's face was disdainful.

Rui Si'er smiled and said: "The second master doesn't know, our owner is on Hong Kong Island, he didn't want to go against you when he bought this oil mill, he really used it as a bet, my owner likes to gamble, fool foreign devils, and use Xiguan's title deed and house deed to price on Hong Kong Island, just say this oil mill, six hundred taels of silver to buy, but on Hong Kong Island and foreigners to gamble, you can bet one thousand taels." Turn around, change the deed, and it will be worth a hundred taels of silver. ”

"Oh? And what's going on? Tao Laoer's eyes lit up, who in Xiguan didn't know that he Tao Laoer was a good gambler?

"Second master, you dissipate your anger, don't be embarrassed, I'll set the table to make amends for you another day, my little loach didn't know your Long Wei before, I offended you, do you forgive me?" said that Rui Siyi went to the ground.

Although the tuberculosis ghost was soft, but Tao Lao Er was willing to let him go, his eyes rolled and he had an idea, and said with a big grin: "Since you have said that this deed is a bet, then Cheng, just take it as a bet, I will bet with you!" I will not bully you, but it is worth three hundred taels of silver. ”

"This?"

Seeing that the tuberculosis ghost was hesitant and wanted to open his mouth to refuse, Tao Laoer's face turned cold, "If you don't want to gamble today, don't think about going out of this door!" ”

The sister of the leprosy ghost was so frightened that she whispered a few words in the ear of the leprosy ghost, presumably to persuade her brother not to cause trouble.

"Alas, okay, but the second master, let's say okay, just take a gamble, okay?" Ruisi is pitiful like a pug.

"Done!" Tao Lao Er immediately turned his head and scolded: "Damn, you don't have long ears, why don't you go and get the dice?" A servant hurried out.

……

After a while, the dice were brought up, and Tao Lao Er was arrogant and asked someone to straighten the table, Tao Lao Er stood in front of the table with the dice, and pointed to the center of the table and said to Rui Si: "Take out the deed, right?" ”

Rui Si was helpless, and trembling took out the yellowed deed and put it on the table.

"Do you come first or do I come first?" Tao Lao Er looked at him like this, and he was even more disdainful.

"Second master, you, where is your silver?" Rui Si asked cautiously.

Tao Lao Er was disdainful, and said in his heart that I would still lose to you? But when you get to the gambling table, you have to talk about gambling products, and it's not good to bully people. Tao Lao Er immediately turned around and ordered: "Bring a pen and paper!" ”

Waiting for the left and right to bring paper, ink, pen and inkstone, Tao Lao Er wrote "I owe three hundred taels of money" on Long Feifeng Dance and signed his name below, pressed his handprint, slapped the note on the table, and said: "This is okay, right?" ”

Rui Si looked at the note in a daze and didn't speak.

Tao Lao Er scolded: "Damn, Lao Tzu wrote it in black and white, that is silver, can you still rely on you?" "It's not that Tao Lao Er is cheating, it's really that the financial power is in the hands of Mrs., not to mention that there is no matter, who will bring a few hundred taels of silver tickets on him?

"Is it coming or not? You're welcome not to come! Tao Lao Er glared.

Ruisi had no choice but to walk to the table and say, "I'll come first." ”

Tao Lao Er sneered and pushed the sea bowl in front of Rui Si.

"Six-six-six!" Rui Si shouted, and the god rolled the dice, and the two dice that stopped were red sixes, and the third was spinning in the sea bowl.

Tao Lao Er scolded in his heart, but he was lucky.

There was a sudden burst of laughter around, "Alas......" Rui Si sighed, and the third dice finally turned over, a little.

Tao Lao Er snorted coldly, "If you go against my grandfather, God won't help you!" Wait to be my eldest brother! As he spoke, he reached out and picked up three dice and spilled them into the sea bowl, wanting to throw a full house, but who knew that there were two sixes, and the third dice were dripping in the sea bowl.

"Six-six-six!" The servants of the Tao family's nursing home shouted loudly, the momentum was terrifying, and Ruisi's poor "one by one" was drowned in the sound and could not be heard.

"Hah!" The Tao family laughed, and in the end, although it was not a leopard, the dice were five, and they won Rui four.

As soon as Tao Lao Er stretched out his hand, he snatched the deed on the table, "Mom, I don't need a penny of silver, I should make a small fortune for my grandfather!" "I glanced at the disgraced sister of the tuberculosis ghost, and said in my heart that this girl is really watery, and I want to get a taste of it another day, and I can't be violent about heavenly things, right?

"You guys, you can't go!" Rui Si, who was stunned, suddenly stopped in front of the door, blocking the way of Tao Lao Er and his party.

"Want to die?" Tao Laoer's eyes narrowed.

Rui Si begged bitterly, "Second master, you let me go, without this deed, my boss will break my leg and send me to prison, second master!" You pity the poor little ......"

"Get out!" Tao Lao Er kicked Rui Si on the heel and scolded viciously: "What do you have to do with grandpa!" ”

Seeing that Tao Lao Er and his party were about to leave, Rui Si jumped up as if he was a neuropath, and hugged Tao Lao Er's legs: "Second master, second master, bet again, can you bet again?" Second master, please! ”

Tao Lao Er kicked him away in disgust, and sneered: "Cheng, do you have a thousand taels?" He raised the deed in his hand: "You just said that this thing is worth a thousand taels on Hong Kong Island!" ”

"This ......" Rui Si wanted to cry without tears, but in a blink of an eye, he saw his sister, his eyes lit up, he got up, he ran over and dragged his sister's arm, and said loudly: "Second master, I, I use my sister to gamble, if you win, my fourth child will jump off the building, my sister and the oil mill are all yours, anyway, it will be a death!" ”

"You, why are you like this?" Rui's fourth sister was so angry that her face turned pale and pushed him away hard.

"The eldest brother is the father!" Rui Si shouted with his waist raised.

Tao Lao Er laughed, turned around and walked over, slapped the deed on the table, and slapped the "three hundred taels" that he had just kneaded and was about to tear off on the table, and looked at Rui's fourth sister with a smile and said, "Sister, don't worry, my brother can't lose your worth, one thousand three hundred taels!" ”

Rui Si can be regarded as a savior, hurriedly rushed to the table, and said loudly: "Second master, you are the one who speaks, come, you come first!" ”

However, this time Tao Lao Er's luck was really low, I don't know how, he threw a "one-two-four", and Rui Si was "one-five-six", although the points were not big, but he won.

Rui Si was ecstatic, held the deed tightly in his hand, and chanted ecstatically: "God has eyes, God has eyes." Then he said to his sister: "Sister, you go back first!" Fourth Sister Rui snorted and ignored him.

Tao Lao Er stayed for a while, the taste of gain and loss was really uncomfortable, seeing that Rui's fourth sister was about to leave the house, as soon as she stretched out her hand, the next person stopped her.

"Second master, you, you can't count what you say!" Rui Si looked terrified.

Tao Lao Er said coldly: "Grandpa, of course I am talking about it, but I just said that I only gambled, and I only gambled with you because I pity you kid, but you want to leave when you win?" That's not going to work, let's do it again! As he spoke, he pointed to the deed, and then pointed to the girl who was very fresh, and said, "The deed is three hundred taels, and the sister is one thousand three hundred taels!" After making a gesture, someone gave him a pen and paper, wrote the words "owe 1,600 taels", signed and pressed his handprint.

"Second Master......" Rui Si wanted to speak, but Tao Lao Er glared at him, and his fierce expression was revealed: "Do you gamble or not?" ”

Rui Si didn't dare to speak anymore, so he had to go to the table again.

Who knew that Rui Si seemed to have changed his luck, and he actually threw a leopard and won again.

Tao Lao Er gritted his teeth, didn't speak again, and wrote an IOU of 1,600 taels, but who knew that Rui Si carefully put one "one thousand sixteen" and one "three hundred" on the deed, and said: "I, I use this 1,900 taels to gamble with the second master, and it should be 1,600 taels." The deed, the deed and the sister forget it! ”

Tao Lao Er was furious and scolded: "Is Grandpa a debtor? No, you want money, and you want people! As he spoke, he wrote another IOU of 1,900 taels.

But then Tao Lao Er lost more than a dozen in a row, he would write an IOU of 3,000 taels, and then write 5,000 taels, and he was angry and wrote "10,000 taels".

"Come again!" Tao Lao's eyes were red.

Rui Si waved his hand again and again, "No, no, don't come, second master, it's just fun today, forget it, you can keep these IOUs, don't look for Xiao Si's bad luck in the future, Xiao Si will be very grateful!" As he spoke, he made a joke and pushed the IOU over.

Tao Lao Er was silent when he saw that he was left and right, and his lungs were about to explode, if he left like this and spread it, would he still have face?

"How many pieces of silver do you count?" Tao Lao Er asked coldly with a calm face.

"Don't count, don't count." Rui's four heads shook like a rattle.

"You count!" Tao Lao Er turned around and shouted, no one moved, he kicked the little guy next to him with one kick, and scolded: "You counted Lao Tzu clearly!" ”

The little maid got up, didn't dare to make a sound, walked over and counted the IOU three times, ran over and whispered in Tao Laoer's ear: "Master, fifty-one thousand taels." ”

Tao Lao Er gave him a mouthful when he returned his hand: "Be louder!" ”

"Yes! Fifty-one thousand taels! The little guy covered his face and scolded his mother in his heart, he was so unlucky, why didn't he lose to you!

Tao Lao Er's face was dark, and he wrote the words "fifty-two thousand six hundred and sixty taels", pressed his handprint, brushed it on the table, and said coldly: "Bet on all the IOUs of your sister, the oil mill and your grandfather!" As he spoke, he turned around and shouted: "This dice grandpa is not used to it, go and change it to a new one!" But he winked at the subordinates, and immediately someone realized that this was the second master who wanted mercury dice, so he could cheat, and he rushed away immediately.

"Second master, forget it, right?" Rui Si pleaded with a bitter face, and Tao Laoer's face was gloomy, but he didn't speak. Seeing his face, Rui Si didn't dare to say more, and obediently closed his mouth.

At meal time, someone sent new dice up, and Tao Lao Er checked it in his hand, and there was a score.

"Second master, I, I'll come first, this, the last one, is it okay?" It looks like Rui Si is about to cry.

"Okay, let you die without complaint." Tao Lao Er sneered and pushed the sea bowl over.

Rui Si put his hands on his chest, closed his eyes and read the words, and he didn't know which way he was asking for the blessing of the gods and Buddhas, Tao Lao Er just sneered.

Finally, Rui Si grabbed the dice in his hand, and shook and slid it, but he didn't throw it down.

Some people from the Tao family were impatient and scolded loudly: "What about you kid waiting for your mother to breastfeed?" Is it okay to be a neat point? ”

Rui Si smiled, and finally spilled the dice in the sea bowl, the three dice were dripping and spinning, and the Tao family's subordinates stared at the dice together, shouting together: "One, two, three!" One two three! "I have a score in my heart, and I am secretly funny, this sheep doesn't know how to die.

Suddenly, the shouting stopped abruptly, and the people of the Tao family looked at the three bright red six points in the sea bowl in disbelief with strange faces.

Tao Lao Er also stood up, the two of them ruled, the first to throw the point is bigger, that is to say, Tao Lao Er even if he also threw three sixes, but he also lost.

At this time, Rui Si smiled and hugged a bunch of IOUs, counted and folded them one by one, and said in his mouth: "Second Master Tao, a total of 103,600 taels of silver, give you three days to prepare, and on the fourth day, I will go to your mansion to collect cash!" Although he still called the second master, his aura was completely different from just now.

"Don't get out yet!" Rui Si Triangle rolled his eyes, glared at the Tao family and scolded: "One or two silver less, the fourth master, I will kill you one by one!" ”

At this moment, if Tao Lao Er doesn't understand anymore, he is a fool, dare to love from the very beginning, this tuberculosis ghost is wronging himself, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and he is the real sheep.

"Damn, call me! Fight to the death, three of them together! Tao Lao Er was so angry that his lungs exploded at this time, so he didn't care about pity the fragrance and jade, he only wanted the lives of three people and snatched the IOU back.

There was a loud bang, and the guard who rushed to the front of the high-headed horse fell to the ground suddenly, holding his legs on the ground and howling loudly, blood oozing from his fingers.

But I saw that the young man who had been sitting in the corner and didn't speak slowly stood up, and in his hand, the mouth of the black hole of the fire gun seemed to be still smoking.

Everyone in the Tao family stood still, at a loss.

"Bang!"

"Ahh This time, it was Tao Lao Er, who covered his thighs and fell to the ground screaming, howling like a pig, which was creepy.

"Don't get out yet!" Rui Si scolded.

Everyone in the Tao family suddenly woke up, and carried the injured Tao Lao Er and the nursing home out in a swarm, running extremely fast, and hated his parents for not giving birth to two more legs.
