As early as the beginning of October, Yao Fu had already learned about the rumors about him in the market, and he didn't care at first, there were many people who poked his backbone behind his back over the years, and he Yao Fu was not more and more nourishing, the destiny was not enough to fear, and the words were not enough to be compassionate, he also thought that it might be spread by Zhang Yuan's kid, and sent someone to investigate, but said that it was spread from other counties, which made him a little inexplicable, at this time, he must be calm, to be casual, I believe that as long as a period of time, these rumors will disappear -

The gambling period with Zhang Yuan is getting closer and closer, Yao Fu did not dare to slack off, and continued to treat and give gifts, last month, his nephew-in-law Yang Shangyuan gambled on eight shares of Wen to lose to Zhang Yuan, which gave Yao Fu a wake-up call, Zhang Yuan's kid is not simple, so that he does not dare to have any contempt, he must win Zhang Yuan, although his nephew Yang Shangyuan has not been imprisoned, but it is said that Hou Zhihan's corrupt official has already written that the scholar wants to remove Shang Yuan's student reputation, so if he loses to Zhang Yuan this time, Shang Yuan's reputation will definitely not be guaranteed, he can play tricks, who will obediently remove the turban?

But half a month has passed, and the rumors in the market have not gradually subsided, but have spread more and more, the cooks of Yao's Mansion have to be dragged to the market to buy vegetables, and they have to be dragged to let the cook tell the master of the house Yao Fu, otherwise the vegetables will not be sold to the cook, and the servants of Yao's Mansion will open the door in the morning, and they will see rotten eggs and rotten vegetables and other filth in front of the door, and they will be scolded and cleaned every day.

These are all that, what really worries Yao Fu is that since the middle of October, every time he invites the county's students, some people can't shirk it, as the end of the month approaches, more and more people don't go to the banquet, he went to visit with gifts, obviously at home, but the doorman said that the master was out, which made Yao Fu angry and hateful, these students who live in the county are relatively wealthy, and they don't look at a few banquets and some thin gifts, and now Yao Fu is notorious, they don't want to mess with Yao Fu, the gentleman is clean and self-conscious, at least for the time being, he wants to avoid suspicion -

Yao Fu had no choice but to vote for those students, send some calligraphy and paintings, antiques, humble words and generous gifts, which had some effect, those students who accepted the gifts promised to help him win the gambling game, although so, but it was all white silver, Yao Fu was depressed can be imagined-

This morning, Yao Fu was bored in the house study, irritable, there are ten days to go to the county Confucianism and Zhang Yuan gambling art, the county fifty-four people in twenty of the people he has given a generous gift, winning Zhang Yuan should be no problem, but this is really a loss, before and after he has spent hundreds of taels of silver, I knew this, he simply can't get sick, give up the gambling game, although he has established a deed, but what about breach of contract, and will not be dealt with by the criminal law, at most he will be teased for a while, after a period of time will naturally subside, but not now, The arrow is on the bow, the gambling game is very noisy, he can only stand up, and his nephew Yang Shangyuan also wants him to help, if he shrinks into the house, not only Shangyuan's reputation is difficult to protect, but he will not want to take over the lawsuit in the future, and it will be difficult to let go of the money of his son and mother-

"Master, tea is here."

A servant girl served tea, the upset Yao Fu reached out to pick it up, thinking that there was water on the edge of the tea cup, and splashed the hot tea on the servant girl, so frightened that the servant girl fell to the ground, and quickly got up and knelt and begged for mercy, fortunately wearing a jacket, if the summer skirt is light, I am afraid that it will burn the skin, and some tea is splashed on the back of the hand, and it hurts hotly, and I don't dare to check whether it is hot and blistering, just mourning and kneeling for mercy -

The servant came to report that Young Master Yang and his wife were coming, Yao Fu had an evil fire in his stomach, and said in his heart: "Why are the two of them here together, Xiaocha is afraid of me?" He got up and changed into a Taoist robe and went out to see Yang Shangyuan and his wife.

The student committed a lawsuit, and the official was not allowed to torture him before his fame was removed, so Yang Shangyuan only spent a few hundred taels of silver in the fake silver case last month, although the loss was large but his body was unharmed, but Hou County Decree had already asked Xuedao to remove his fame, Xuedao would inspect Shaoxing Mansion next month to inspect the students, and Yang Shangyuan was frightened and uneasy, and when he saw Yao Fu, he said: "Cousin, the scholar will come next month, how is this good?" ”

Yao Fu was even more annoyed when he saw Yang Shangyuan's crying and mourning look, and shouted: "What's the panic, it's just to leather your headscarf, and you won't be able to change your head." Yao Fu was annoyed that Yang Shangyuan gambled with Zhang Yuan last time, which affected him.

Yang Shangyuan opened his mouth and said that he was suffering.

Yang Shangyuan's wife, Pan's money, stepped forward and said: "Uncle, don't scare him, these ministers are restless in their sleep, and they sigh at night. ”

Pan's is about thirty years old, in addition to the white and greasy complexion, the eyebrows and figures are not good-looking, not as good as Yao Fu's two-room concubine, but Yao Fu is going to hook up with this cousin's niece, this woman is also surnamed Yang Hua, half pushed and half refused to enter Hong Kong, and then every other day to visit his cousin, very filial piety, it has been two or three years, recently because of the neighborhood rumors, Pan has restrained a little, and now he and her husband came to ask his cousin, cousin is a resourceful old lawyer-

The wives who steal from others in the world are probably like this, and the husband is often the last to know, and Yang Shangyuan is even more ignorant, and he is still in the dark, and when he saw his wife speaking for him, he also spoke: "Cousin, it's not that the nephew is in a hurry, it's really an urgent matter, I implore my cousin to think of a way for the nephew, and I am also ready to sell the 100 acres of land in Huashe to raise money to save the emergency." ”

Yao Fu said slowly: "I have a gambling contract with me, and I am in a mess, where can I control you, I have planned to close my door and not go to the end of the month to gamble, let them laugh." ”

"Ahh Yang Shangyuan exclaimed: "Cousin, don't do it, my cousin has already bought off twenty students, you will win this gamble, only by winning that Zhang Yuan, can your cousin regain his reputation, otherwise-"

"How else?" Yao Fu said: "What did you hear! ”

The cousin was moody, Yang Shangyuan hurriedly said: "I didn't hear anything, I didn't hear anything, the nephew just begged the cousin to be the master, if the cousin didn't come forward, the nephew's turban really couldn't be saved." As he spoke, he touched the square scarf on his head, looking extremely nostalgic.

Seeing that Yao Fu had a straight face and didn't speak, Pan said in his heart: "This old disgusting thing is making a joke." Then he said to her husband Yang Shangyuan: "Xianggong should hurry up to Huashe Village to see, the field should be sold, but don't sell it cheaply, raise money as soon as possible, and your cousin must have silver to help you do things." ”

Yao Fu then spoke: "Well, hurry up and raise money, this is to make some inspectors to protect your reputation, where can you do without a few hundred taels of silver." ”

Yang Shangyuan had a sad face, this toss, half of the belongings had to be removed, but in order to keep the headscarf, there was only so much to salute Yao Fu: "The nephew is going." Asked his wife Pan Shidao: "Does the lady go home now, or will I come back to pick you up when I go back to the city in the evening?" ”

Pan's eyes swept towards Yao Fu and said, "Let's go back to the concubine, my cousin is in a bad mood and doesn't dare to disturb." ”

Yao Fu dragged out his voice and said: "Xiaocha, it's almost noon, cousin still needs you a bite to eat here - Shangyuan, your cousin won't stay, it's important to do business, go and go back quickly." ”

Yao Fu sent Yang Shangyuan to the large patio in the front yard and turned back, seeing that Pan was no longer in the hall, he laughed dryly, and then went to the study, where there was a small couch, which was where he used to have fun with Pan.

The maidservant who was splashed with tea cleaned up the water traces on the floor of the study, went back to the room to change an old jacket, looked at the back of her right hand, burned a big bubble, picked it with a needle with tears, found sesame oil to apply, worried that Yao Fu would call her, so she came to the study again, but saw that the wooden door was closed, tiptoed to the window to listen, and heard Pan's low greasy smile inside: "My husband has just gone out——"

Yao Fu's voice was a little panting: "My heart and liver, your uncle doesn't love you for anything else, but loves your white flesh." ”

The servant girl showed a look of disdain, silently "puffed", and hurried away.

Zhang Cao didn't have an ear for the wind, if Zhang Cao heard Yao Fu's words, he would definitely shout: "Does Yao Zhuzhu also read "Golden Vase Plum", why is this silver word like a mouthful?" ”
