Chapter 69: Gambling Addiction
Zhao and Wang were blindfolded, tied hand and foot, thrown into a carriage and taken to a strange place, and they were already worried, and they didn't know what kind of family they had been sold to.
In the Song family, when Wang was called to the courtyard to let people look at each other, he knew that things were not good, but Song Mingjie was not at home at that time. The wives of the Song family have also reached an agreement, no matter how much she cries, she will still be forcibly taken away.
was taken to the new master's house in a panic all the way, and he beat him without asking, so frightened that Wang curled up on the ground and screamed first. She couldn't see it blindfolded, and the new master sitting opposite her was Su Muling, who had been bullied and tortured in her previous life.
With Wang's screams, the whip kept hitting her. For a while, in addition to Wang's screams in the courtyard, it was the sound of whips whipping on people/flesh.
Dozens of whips went down, and Wang's body was already blurred with flesh and blood, and the screams gradually disappeared.
Su Muling got up and walked to the backyard, and threw down a sentence coldly:
"Lock her up, don't let her die."
"Yes."
Su Muling in the previous life was whipped a few times by Song Mingjie because the Wang family framed her in front of Song Mingjie. It hurt so much that she almost fainted. This time the Wang family fell into her hands, and she wanted to slowly recover the debts of the previous life.
Wang was dragged away. Pomegranate took the gold sore medicine to rub her wound and apply medicine, and the young lady said that she couldn't let her die, so she had to be cured.
Zhao, who was taken to the house, was untied, Xichun handed her a clean dress for her to change into, and poured water for her to wash her face.
When Su Muling came in, the Zhao family had already packed up and was standing nervously trembling.
"Scared you. Don't be afraid, this is the Su family's house in the capital, and I am the eldest lady of the Su family. Su Muling first introduced himself.
When Zhao heard that it was the young lady's sister, he quickly knelt down.
The Zhao family had also heard of Su Muling in the Song family, and knew that it was Song Mingjie who wanted to marry her. It was only because she was not in good health and was afraid that she would not be able to have children, so she changed her sister Su Wanqing.
Su Mu has a good spiritual temperament and can make money, and now she is in charge of the Su family's affairs, and it is better to be a slave under her than to be sold to another family as a housemaid and be humiliated.
"You don't have to worry, your ancestors once showed kindness to my Su family, and I got your news a few days ago and learned that the Song family is not good to you. That's why I'm calling you to come. This is your deed of sale, and it will be returned to you now. ”
As he spoke, he took a piece of paper from Xichun's hand and handed it to her.
Zhao didn't expect that the ancestral virtue would be reported on her, she excitedly took the deed of sale, and tears rolled down like strings of beads.
"Thank you, Miss, Miss's kindness cannot be repaid. The slave's parents died early and there was nowhere to go, so please keep me by my side and let me serve the eldest lady. ”
"Since you have nowhere to go and I am alone, you can stay with me. How old is my sister, I want to worship my sister as a godsister, my sister is willing? ”
Su Muling took Zhao's hand and kissed each other.
Zhao was flattered and said he didn't dare.
How could Su Muling have made up her mind, asked her maiden name, and knew that her name was Zhao Zhenzhen, so she called away with Sister Zhenzhen.
Zhao Zhenzhen didn't expect that she suddenly changed from a slave to a sister of the Su family's shop, and she was so excited that she didn't know what to say.
After resting for one night, seeing that Zhao Zhenzhen was no longer timid, Su Muling took Zhao Zhenzhen around.
Zhao Zhenzhen was sold into the Song family since she was a child, and she has never come out to go shopping, and everything she sees is fresh and interesting.
Su Muling saw the joyful smile on her face, and was very glad that he could help her get out of the sea of suffering.
The grace of the last life, this life will give you half a lifetime of happiness.
***
Song Mingjie went to the homes of several colleagues who had a good relationship on weekdays early in the morning, trying to find a relationship to see if he could dredge up and return to officialdom.
But a few people who call him brother and sister on weekdays either say that they are not at home or that they are sick and can't see guests, and he doesn't see anyone after walking around. Song Mingjie knew that this was a person who took the tea to cool, but the tea cooled too quickly, right?
I think that when he was the second son of Guangping Bofu, these people went to his house without anything. There are also many gifts sent to him for the New Year's holidays, but now? When he used them, he couldn't even see a shadow.
Song Mingjie came home with a stomach full of anger, and saw that there were no girls in the house, and the two aunts were gone, so he went to find the Leng family in a hurry.
Leng said that this was the old lady's decision. Although Song Mingjie was angry, he didn't dare to settle accounts with the old lady.
When he returned to the house, he saw Su Wanqing leaning against the door and looking at the sky, ignoring him. "Snort" and flicked his sleeves and went out again.
Without an official position and family property, Song Mingjie went to his former father-in-law to ask for 100,000 taels of silver given back to King Ping.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he was scolded by Ding Tiancheng: "Is there paste in your head?" How can there be any reason to get something sent back again? ”
"But I ...... now Or you ask Prince Ping to help me dredge it up and reinstate my official, and I will honor him when I get the money in the future. "Song Mingjie didn't want to lose the 100,000 taels in vain.
"My name is Ping Wangye Dredging? Who do you think I am? You think my head is too strong, don't you? I'm telling you, stay honest now, and don't be a moth again. When the big thing is completed, I can't ask for credit for you from King Ping. ”
Song Mingjie knew that Ding Tiancheng was perfunctory to himself, but now that he was white, he could only pass him if he wanted to climb to King Ping. said a bunch of good things, and listened to Ding Tiancheng swear again, Song Mingjie went out unwillingly.
finally sent Song Mingjie away, and Ding Tiancheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Song Mingjie was deceived and his official position was removed, obviously because someone above did it deliberately. Ding Tiancheng, the old fox, had already counted Song Mingjie's 100,000 taels of silver on his head and gave it to King Ping, but as for Song Mingjie, he didn't mention it in front of King Ping.
Song Mingjie, who was in a depressed mood, was walking aimlessly on the street, and was suddenly attracted by a burst of laughter. I saw that not far ahead, a gorgeously dressed man was surrounded by several people, and good words were thrown on the man without money.
"Wan Gongzi is really lucky, he won so much silver in just one hour."
"It's not, Wan Gongzi looks dignified, he looks like a rich and noble body, and even if he enters the casino, he is also the respect of the king."
"Will Wan Gongzi come back tomorrow? The little ones are also stained with you. ”
"Haha, your luck is not bad today, and I won a little with me. Let's go, I'm in for a treat today, let's have a drink. ”
……
A group of people hula-la-la-la. Song Mingjie looked at the place where they came out, it was a casino.
Casino, almost all the sons and brothers in the capital have come to play. Of course, Song Mingjie has also been here, but because he has an official position, is from a wealthy background, and has a lot of silver, he is just here for fun. But now he is different, he has no official position, little silver, and an uncertain future.
"This master, at first glance, he looks rich and noble, come in and have a play."
When the man waiting at the door saw him standing in front of the door, he thought he was hesitating, so he pulled him by the way.
Song Mingjie didn't know that he followed him in, and then a few taels of silver in his purse turned into a heavy fifty taels.
The next day, he came again, and when he returned, his purse sank again.
Song Mingjie was overjoyed, is he really disappointed in love and proud of the casino? So Song Mingjie went for a few more days, and after winning a few small handfuls, he decided to come to the next big one.
He stole a few hundred taels of silver from his house and went to the casino. As a result, just when he was full of ambition, he lost a fine light just once. Song Mingjie wanted to win thousands of taels of silver and buy a big mansion, but he didn't expect to lose it.
Sitting sullenly on the side, he caught a glimpse of someone muttering to Jia San, who was in charge of the casino, borrowing silver to turn over the book. I saw Jia San magnanimously pull out a thick pile of silver tickets from his waist and throw it to him. The one then won back the double share, returned Jia San's silver ticket, and then took what he got and went home happily.
Is there still such an operation? Song Mingjie also wanted to try, he came to Jia San and said that he wanted to borrow money.
Jia San looked at him and also took out a silver ticket: "There is no profit for the first time, three points for the second time, and five points for the third time." ”
Song Mingjie happily accepted the silver ticket, signed the IOU handed by the person next to him, and rushed back to the battlefield.
No surprise he won. Song Mingjie, who tasted the sweetness, began to borrow money from Jia San frequently. At first, not only could I win it back but I also had a surplus, but after a few times, I couldn't even get it back, and I just lost what I borrowed.
Jia San stopped lending him money and began to ask him for money.
"If you return the previous one, I will lend it to you again."
"I ...... I have no money. ”
"No money? Antique calligraphy, painting and jewelry are all fine, as long as it can be worth silver, we want it. ”
After saying this, and in order to turn the book, Song Mingjie began to steal things from home and send them to the casino as bets, but he still won more and lost less.
Once Song Mingjie stole Leng's jewelry, so that Leng's grasp was correct. During this time, the family always lost things, and the old lady also called a few subordinates to warn her, but Leng didn't expect that this thief was her son.
Leng asked him what he was doing with the jewelry, he only said that it was useful, and he ran out after throwing Leng off. Leng was so angry that he scolded this unfilial son at his figure, sold all the house and land, and gave away the silver, but now he is empty-handed.
In the end, the news of Song Mingzhuo's gambling still reached the ears of the Song family, and the old lady was so angry that she raised the crutches in her hand and was about to beat him, but Song Mingjie was right: "I'm not here that the Song family can return to the court one day and rise again?" ”
The old lady pointed at him and spit out a mouthful of old blood to the ground, which frightened the Ying family and the Leng family and hurriedly called for a doctor.
Song Mingjie took the opportunity to go to the old lady's house and carried the few pieces of jewelry left by the old lady in his arms.
Su Wanqing, who was watching the excitement from the side, saw it and snorted coldly: "The old Song family has a scum like you, it's no wonder." ”
"Smack" a mouth slapped on Su Wanqing's face, and Song Mingjie scolded viciously: "Our Song family is only because of marrying you, a mourning star, that we have fallen to this point today. Don't be complacent, I'll find someone to sell you too. ”
