Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Calm Before the Storm
Li knows these two words, but why can't she understand them together?
Bet.
Fang.
Together, it is called "Gambling House", Li Shi was sure that he did not recognize the typo, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at the door plaque intently.
"Mother, father." Li Shi hurriedly changed his words, "What are we doing here?" ”
An Manyue always felt that it was not a good thing to bring the Li family here, raised his hand and touched his nose, and explained: "Gambling money!" ”
Li Shi felt a gust of wind blowing behind her, she looked at her mother in amazement, and finally followed after being reminded by Sanqi.
An Manyue and Nian's two people went to the second floor of the gambling house.
Xu is bad luck, as soon as An Manyue went up to the second floor, Ouyang Ye walked over.
Ay?
Big guy, shouldn't you be in the capital and prepare to go south?
An Manyue could only suppress the incomprehension in her heart, and greeted with a smile: "Ouyang Gongzi." ”
Ouyang Ye greeted An Manyue with a smile, and invited An Manyue to a room by the way, before leaving.
Sanqi has a lively temperament and talks a lot, so he came to Nian's maid magpie without a trace, and asked softly: "Sister Magpie, who is that noble son just now?" ”
Li pricked up his ears and distracted his attention to Sanqi and the magpie.
"He's the owner of the gambling house." The magpie leaned into Sanqi's ear and whispered, "Your wife is the 'God of Gambling' in the gambling house." ”
Sanqi was so shocked that her jaw was about to fall, and she begged the magpie to talk to her more.
The magpie lowered his voice and told him about the fact that he would win every bet before the full moon.
The magpie's voice was not loud, at most only Sanqi and Li, who came over to listen to the news deliberately, heard it, and everyone else was talking about it.
At this time, Li was so shocked that she couldn't speak, you know, her mother-in-law, who was useless in her eyes, turned out to be the "God of Gambling", which completely subverted her perception of her mother-in-law.
Just as Li was thinking nonsense, a group of people came from outside and sat at other places at the table.
Nian sat next to An Manyue, his eyes fell on the face of the man directly opposite An Manyue, and said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, the person opposite you is a Ran'er man." ”
An Manyue raised his eyes and saw that the man had a scruffy beard, his eyes were dark blue, and his body looked like it had been hollowed out.
The Ran'er in Nian's mouth is Ji Ran'er, the wife of Zhai Mansion, Ji Ran'er is in an improper fetal position, and when she is at home, she has been washing her face with tears.
At that time, An Manyue heard Nian's saying that Zhai Xiu was ready to marry again, and couldn't help but sigh for Ji's in his heart.
Zhai Xiu noticed An Manyue's gaze, smiled slightly, and took the initiative to greet: "Gongzi An, I heard that you are the 'God of Gamblers' in the gambling house, and it is really an honor to meet you today." ”
Li's eyes were attracted by Zhai Xiu, even if this man looked sloppy, but the fabric on his body was about ten taels of silver and a foot, this person was definitely a rich man.
Not only that, but to Li's surprise, this person was so respectful to his mother-in-law.
"I haven't touched this for a long time, and I hope that Zhai Gongzi's subordinates will show mercy." When An Manyue spoke, he shuffled the cards with everyone.
Everyone chatted and played cards, but after five rounds, An Manyue easily won two thousand taels of silver.
An Manyue wanted to stop there, but heard Zhai Xiu say: "An Gongzi really lives up to his reputation, and he will win every gamble." I heard that Gongzi An has a good relationship with the Gu family, has the Gu family's disappeared cow been found? ”
"I know about this," Master Qiao, who was sitting on the left side of An Manyue, said, turning his head to look at Zhai Xiu, "I heard that all the cattle disappeared in an hour, and the Gu family within a radius of ten miles has checked and found no cows, it's really strange!" ”
"It can't be haunted!" Master Niu gasped.
"Is it a haunted, or an old ghost who has been dead for more than ten years!" Master Qiao lowered his voice and said seriously.
The whole house was silent.
Seeing that Nian's expression was nervous, An Manyue was worried that she was talking nonsense, so she reached out and pressed Nian's hand, signaled her not to speak, and said, "It may be a thief who pretends to be a ghost." ”
"Look, he's a capable thief." Zhai Xiu smiled and looked at An Manyue, who was sitting opposite him, "Otherwise, how can you hide from the world?" ”
An Manyue smiled and didn't speak.
Master Niu turned his head to look at An Manyue, and said earnestly: "If you want me to say, the ghost path for more than ten years is quite deep, so you should ask someone to exorcise the ghost to prevent future troubles." ”
An Manyue lowered her eyes thoughtfully, reached out to grab the cards, touched the cards, and then pushed the cards in front of her, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm nonsense." ”
"Xiao An, your luck is really good." Master Niu praised sincerely, he had never seen a few people who could win every game, and said with emotion, "No wonder the big guys call you 'God of Gamblers', it is estimated that the God of Gamblers has been blessing you, there are really ghosts and gods in this world!" ”
"Why do you say that it was an old ghost of more than ten years who robbed the Gu family's things?" After An Manyue calmed Nian's family, he asked curiously.
The sound of washing mahjong sounded, and Zhai Xiu said locally: "Daoist Mo Yun of Jiangdongguan outside the city said that he happened to be passing by at that time, and he watched those cows disappear in an instant. ”
There were even witnesses?
If Daoist Mo Yun really saw it with his own eyes, then he could ask a lot of useful words, An Manyue turned his head and looked at Nian.
Nian leaned into An Manyue's ear and whispered, "Daoist Mo Yun has gone crazy. ”
An Manyue frowned slightly, according to what Nian said, the clue was broken.
"Before, Daoist Mo Yun seemed to have a little apprentice, that little apprentice had a thin life, and he died the next day, I heard that the man was very ruthless, and directly chopped up the thing under him and stuffed it into his mouth." Zhai Xiu said this sigh.
Master Niu said: "It must be an evil ghost, otherwise how can you do such a lack of morality?" ”
Master Qiao said fearlessly: "The evil ghost also scares those who have no money, and the rich man who doesn't have a jade pendant with a light on him, so what kind of evil ghost are you afraid of?" ”
Jade pendant?
Hearing this, Nian's face changed, when her man went to check on Daoist Mo Yun, he saw Daoist Moyun holding a jade pendant in his hand, but they didn't notice these at the time.
Now that I think about it, that jade pendant must not be an ordinary object, Mo Yundao is good at martial arts, and he likes swords more than jade pendants.
Maybe you can check it from the jade pendant, maybe there are some clues.
"Gongzi An, have you heard that Ning Yongchuan, who is the first in our autumn season, has raised the top peony girl of Yihong Courtyard?" Zhai Xiu looked at An Manyue curiously and asked pretendingly.
In fact, the people with identities on the second floor of the gambling house knew the true identity of An Gongzi, and the reason why they didn't say it was mainly because......
It's because An Manyue is the God of Gamblers, just think about it, if everyone in the whole city knows that the God of Gambling is a woman, where will this put the faces of those men?
Of course, coupled with the threat of Ouyang Ye's side knock, the aristocratic sons on the second floor all wanted to have a few rounds with An Manyue, it didn't matter if they lost money, if they won, they would win the gambling god!
"Huh?" An Manyue raised her eyes to look at Zhai Xiu, her face did not change, and she asked with a smile, "Really?" ”
Li Shi, who was sitting behind An Manyue, had already felt the anger of her mother-in-law, and silently shrunk her neck, her eyes rolling rapidly, thinking about how to reconcile her in-laws, she didn't want her in-laws to be separated!
Not only did Li feel uneasy, but even the people near An Manyue felt that An Manyue's body exuded a cold aura.
"Yes, I heard that he wrote a poem to the peony girl last night, I want to think about what to call it," Zhai Xiu wiped the card and played it out, and suddenly realized, "I remembered, what is it called'Yun Xiang clothes and flowers want to look, and the spring breeze blows Revlon', I have to say, Ning Juren's literary talent is really good, ordinary people can't write such good poems, 50,000." ”
Zhai Xiu's face calmly hit 50,000.
The smile on An Manyue's face remained unchanged, and he pushed down all the cards in front of him and said, "Hu." ”
An Manyue smiled and collected the money, when she woke up in the middle of the night last night, Ning Yongchuan was indeed no longer in the room, did she really go to Yihong Courtyard?
After receiving the money, An Manyue raised her hand and touched her head, and said weakly: "Everyone, I'm sorry, I'm a little tired today, and I want to go back first." ”
The three of them naturally knew that An Manyue would be tired after playing a few laps on weekdays, so they didn't stop An Manyue.
After coming out of the gambling house, getting into the carriage, An Manyue began to count the money.
Nian and Li exchanged a look with each other, and Li cautiously shouted, "Mother? ”
"Ten thousand!" An Manyue said, put away the silver ticket in his hand, and raised his eyes to look at Li, "What do you want me to do?" ”
"Mother, you, you're so good today!" Li looked at An Manyue with a look of admiration, you know, it's not bad not to lose money in the gambling house, and only her mother is so powerful that she can win money.
"Want to play mahjong?" An Manyue looked at Li with a smile.
Li Shi looked at her mother-in-law in horror, and she only now realized that she really didn't know much about her mother-in-law, and she didn't dare to talk nonsense at will, so she shook her head pitifully.
"Really don't play?" An Manyue raised her eyebrows and looked at Li curiously.
"Mother, I don't have any money, and besides, I always think I'm going to lose." Li said weakly, she really felt that she couldn't do it.
Today, Li has been looking at his mother-in-law's cards, and he also knows how to play mahjong, and the more he knows how to play mahjong, the more she feels that it is too difficult to win mahjong.
Nian sat aside and said very seriously: "Sister-in-law, I think this mahjong is too difficult, I can't learn what you taught me, even if I learn it, my brain can't react, I want to follow your fart and watch you play mahjong." ”
An Manyue actually wants Li to have self-knowledge, don't touch mahjong if you have nothing to do, and if you lose it back, something will happen.
An Manyue contentedly stuffed the silver ticket into her money bag and sat there with her eyes closed.
Nian silently leaned into Li's ear and whispered, "If something happens at home, let someone call me directly." ”
"Hey." Li nodded pitifully, her head was big at the thought that her in-laws would quarrel at night!
