Chapter 123
After losing three more games, he was already in debt, and he was still called a brother for the first or second time, but then he gradually leaked his true face, began to mortgage his real estate, and sold his land.
At that time, there was still some meaning in his heart to stop, just to know that the stakes were getting bigger and bigger, and when he won the money, he must shine on the lintel.
Who knows, he actually lost all his family money and owed usury, and the interest will not be paid off even if he is a lifetime.
Qin Chuan is only angry at the person who borrowed the money now, if it weren't for him, he would have lost that bag of silver at most, there would be so much debt, it's better now, being chased out and beaten.
The people in the gambling house have known Qin Chuan for a long time, and they owe money in their gambling house and cheat their relatives in the distant lady, so the owner of the gambling house naturally wrote down this hatred.
After seeing Qin Chuan this time, he didn't make a statement, his nature is difficult to change, and it is difficult for gamblers to extricate themselves once they are infected, especially people like Qin Chuan, who are like demons once they start, they are even more easily deceived.
I cut off one of his fingers last time, but I didn't expect that I would dare to gamble in the past few days, and it was really a dog that couldn't change it.
Since he was lucky to escape last time, the owner of the gambling house was in a bad mood this time, and he didn't make any profit in the morning.
Losing is really losing, he has been losing since the morning, but then he is also under pressure to start the game, fortunately, luck is only a matter of a moment, the situation has not let him turn over, this is the mountain and the water have no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village.
Otherwise, if he abandoned the game halfway and lost so much silver, wouldn't Qin want to lose money?
They have been open for so many years, but they have never lost so many games in a row like today, could it be that there are really people in this gambling house who are restless, and it is better to go back and investigate thoroughly.
The owner of the gambling house thought like this, playing with these two big white jade # beads in his hands, following behind a group of people, holding the land and real estate signed by Qin Chuan in his hands, and he didn't know the harvest this morning.
"It's all up, it's all open." The people in the gambling house are all some rough sweaters, the kind of thugs who help the people stand on the lintel, this is long and strong, and the whole person is also a tiger's back, which makes people feel afraid when they look at it.
And the reputation of this Yongle Fang is not good, everyone stays away, and no one is allowed to have anything to do with the people there.
Qin Chuan was put on a net by two people and went out of the town.
The shopkeeper happened to make a pot of hot water, came over to refill the water, and saw the scene outside.
"Isn't this the second son of the Qin family, didn't you still want to come to the small shop to eat just now, why did you 。。。。。。。。 this time?"
"You don't know this, I know when I look at that son, I know that he is not a good thing, his hand is missing a finger, it must have been cut when the enemy came to ask for debts." Xiaoliu sat in his position casually, eating the peanuts in front of him, and he ate a large plate of peanuts alone, and his mouth was still rattling, and he chirped from time to time, ignoring the dirty face that couldn't see the original face, which can be said to be a good eating scene.
"How do you know, that Qin Gongzi is the only student in our town in the school, and they all say that the gentleman there is strict, and this scholar who was allowed to enter because of his face is Xiucai, where did the enemy come from."
Xiao Liu was silent, his eyes casually looked at Qin Mo on the side, and put down the wine glass in his hand: "Some people talk about the sky, but they are actually robber-like characters, stealing other people's reputations, but they are actually 。。。。。。。。。。 ”
"What is it?"
Xiao Liu sold a pass, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and attached the store Xiao Er's ear, "The rats crossing the street are smelly and dirty, and everyone shouts and beats them." ”
Both laughed in unison.
"This talent is not like him." Another glass of wine, it was the daughter red, a little spicy, Xiaoliu seemed to be a little unable to change, and there was a strong contrast with the plum blossom wine he had just drunk, and his whole face was a little twitching.
"Ahem, cough, your wine is really strong, but then again, you belong to the southerner position of the Qi country, how can there be such strong wine, it doesn't look like a local."
When the shopkeeper arrived at the water, he wiped the water stains on the table again: "This little brother is laughing, we are authentic people from Nanyang City, but listening to the little brother's voice doesn't look like a local." ”
Xiao Liu's wine just now was over, but he was also a quick adapter, so he took another sip and stuffed a peanut, "This is a bad statement, I am called Huazi, just like duckweed on this water, wearing hundreds of clothes, eating hundreds of meals, wandering around, wandering around, where there is any hometown dialect to speak of, I didn't learn this accent myself." ”
When everyone heard this, there was another burst of laughter.
The shopkeeper also smiled naturally, and then added food and water to the other tables.
Su Xiaoxiao really began to look at this store and Xiao Liu opposite.
Just talking about this shop, she doesn't know if it was opened by a local in Nanyang City, but this plum blossom wine is rare in this kind of place.
Although it is also cold, but the heat here favors peach blossoms, not to mention this plum blossom wine, even in Nanyang City, this is full of peach blossom wine, so this plum blossom wine is really rare.
It is more northerly places that prefer to use plum blossoms to make wine, and the taste of the first snow is more pure and beautiful.
And this wine can't be compared with the 100,000 groups of those rough wines, the entrance is thin, the aroma is layered on top of each other, the layers are clear, and the stamina is 。。。。。。。。。 It's a lot of it.
In her previous life, she had learned wine tasting with her grandfather, or this glass of plum blossom wine, she would have come down, instead of feeling the kennel fever now.
But the shopkeeper said that this plum blossom wine is the most suitable for women, and the people in this shop are all 。。。。。。。。。。。。
A bad premonition came over me.
Looking up at Qin Mo, Qin Mo was also looking at him, but the two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding and didn't make a sound, both of them understood what was in each other's eyes.
Since Qin Mo also found out, it can only mean that this group of people will not hurt them, and everything will be fine as usual.
Life is full of crises, and after a meal, she only feels as tired as if she has done a day's work.
Only Xiao Liu ate the most heartless on the table, but those few words thought about her, whether it was intentional or accidental, this Xiao Liu is also very magical, it seems that she is very familiar with her father-in-law, is this a hidden character?
Out of the door, today's weather is still good when it comes out in the morning, a rare sunny day in winter, who would have thought that now, dark clouds are thick, like a layer of gauze, the whole world is dim and dark, giving people a depressing atmosphere.
But the street should be lively, and the sound of home buying is endless.
Xiao Liu walked out of the tavern and patted his round belly and stretched a big lazy waist.
"Brother, where are we going now?"
Qin Mo gave him a look, "Okay, brother, then let's meet next time, I won't disturb the world of you and your sister-in-law here, bye." ”
A sneak of cigarettes and wine jumped and jumped out of the distance, and he couldn't stop turning his head and waving his hand, but Qin Mo only glanced at it and didn't respond.
"Is there anything else to buy? There are too many people. As he spoke, the ten fingers of his right hand were interlocked, feeling the warmth from the palm of his hand.
"I'll go to the shop over there and buy some fabric." It's almost the Chinese New Year, and the new clothes still have to be prepared.
He doesn't like the clothes on the street, but she can design them herself, but the sewing skills are not very good, and she still needs the help of Aunt Sun.
As soon as I reached the door of the shop, I saw a group of people dressed in official palaces riding horses from the street in an orderly manner, galloping past, holding something similar to a notice in their hands.
"I don't know what it's going on, it's really in vain, this group of people seems to be restless this year."
Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao didn't know, Qin Mo bent down and put it to his ear, and explained softly: "These people are wearing yellow official mansions, only the officers and soldiers in the city, and they only listen to the command of the rich adults, and generally they will not come over if there is no major event. ”
"That's right, what this little brother said is really good, at that time, every household in Archos was flooded, and it could be regarded as no harvest in any year, so the flood had to stop the drought and plague and then came, and a lot of people died."
The streets also became boiling because of the officers and soldiers who were in the past, and everyone was terrified.
Su Xiaoxiao is also curious, but now everyone doesn't know, it's better to do the things in front of her.
In the end, he found the set of red brocade and the black silk with gold trim wrapped in the corners, and a carmine cloth, and each pulled the material to make a piece of clothing and wrapped it.
Suddenly, a person's cry broke out in the crowd, and the voice was sharp and piercing.
Then there was another burst of crying, and it didn't take long for the people on the street who couldn't be selected in the store just now to walk towards the entrance of the town.
I saw a brand new yellow paper pasted on the notice board at the entrance of the town, and there were two officers and soldiers standing next to them, the same clothes as the group of people who had just galloped past on horseback, presumably this was the people in the prefect's house, and it was really very different from those officers and soldiers in the town who drank and gambled all day long.
I heard someone in the crowd say: "This is our class, my man was just injured, and now let her go to repair the city, wouldn't that kill him." ”
Another woman held a handkerchief and wiped her tears, also out of breath, "I have just married my husband, and I have to go to such a far place in just a few days, what can I do?" ”
At first glance, it was a bride, carrying a basket in her hand, which was full of some rouge gouache and some men's fabrics, and her little face was pale with fright.
Squeezed into the crowd, the further inside, the clearer the knowledge.
"This .......... Hahahaha, it's okay, it's okay, my child is a showman, no need to go, thank God, thank you Guanyin Bodhisattva. ”
"Oh, my son, my son only got out of the examination room this year, if he goes to this trip, what will he do? O son of my wretchedness! ”
Walking in, the content of this list is the thing that the village chief mentioned a few days ago to go to the edge of the city to repair the city wall, although it is in Nanyang City, but the whole Nanyang City is big.
It is still in the corner of the city, and it is even more remote, and it takes two days to travel back and forth.
Not as prosperous as Nanyang City, that place is the first line of defense in Nanyang City, although it is also in the south, that place is close to the border of Daqi, and there are perennial wars and disputes, not only the environment is desolate, but it is going to lose its head at any time.
Moreover, as soon as the men in this family are gone, more than half of the income from this effort will not be reduced, especially those who still rely on farming to eat, and it is even more miserable.
