Since the last time Liu Zhukuai inquired about the news for Concubine Yi, he has been infected with the vice of gambling. However, his luck stinks, and the more he gambles if he doesn't take precautions.

is also thanks to Concubine Yi's generosity to his brother, so he spends money every day like running water, but he still hasn't been noticed by his family.

Maybe Sister-in-law Liu has found out, but she can't control her husband, so she can only let him go.

"How much silver has he lost here?" Shen Wangxin observed Liu Zhu in the private room on the second floor for a while, and found that he was always beating his chest, obviously winning less and losing more.

Liu Zhukuai was a frequent visitor to the gambling house, and the steward took out the account book and calculated, and said: "If you go back to the county lord, you have already lost five or six hundred taels of silver." He is the elder brother of Concubine Yi, and he will definitely pay it back next month, so we let him owe it. ”

"How can you owe so much?" Shen Wangxin raised his eyebrows.

The gambling house steward's heart jumped, and he didn't understand what Shen Wangxin meant, so he said tentatively: "What does the county lord mean, don't let him pay on credit?" ”

Shen Wangxin shook his head: "What are the rules of the gambling house, just follow your own conventions." I just looked at this person and asked more. ”

The steward relieved his heart and said with a smile: "Have you seen those gangsters around him?" Some of them are proficient in gambling, and if you don't want him to win, he won't be able to win. We are a gambling house, not a good church, he doesn't understand the rules of the gambling house, so naturally we won't come forward to remind him. ”

Shen Wangxin nodded, indicating that she had understood, and took Ye Lanqing out.

When Ye Lanqing passed by, he stared at Liu Zhuhai for a while, but he was too addicted to it and didn't notice Ye Lanqing's existence at all.

The two walked out of the gambling house and got into the carriage, and Ye Lanqing took a sip gently: "People like him are full of poisons, I'm afraid there won't be any good end." I was thinking about revenge, but now I don't think so. ”

Shen Wangxin also agreed, remembered something and asked, "Why do you have time to accompany me out today?" Shao Yuan hasn't come to you these days? ”

Ye Lanqing blushed a little when she saw her burning gaze: "Whether he came to me or not, what does it matter to me?" It's just that he told me a few days ago that there is something going on in his house, and he doesn't have much time these days......"

As he spoke, his voice lowered.

During this time, she really didn't want to start a new relationship.

But as Shen Wangxin said, Shao Yuan's feelings were too sincere and strong. Such a real heart, held in both hands and sent to her, makes it difficult not to be moved by him.

"Let's talk about it." Ye Lanqing shook his head and dispelled his thoughts, "He is very young and doesn't know what it means for him to do this, if he thinks about it for a while, he may understand." ”

Ye Lanqing said softly.

"You......" Shen Wangxin really didn't know what to say about Ye Lanqing, but she didn't continue.

No matter how anxious she is, an outsider, she can't figure it out as much as Ye Lanqing herself, so it's better to go with the flow.

Seeing it, time slipped away, and it was the New Year all of a sudden.

During this time, the little noble sister was always in low spirits, and she was nauseous and wanted to vomit. At first, he didn't think there was anything, but then Shen Wangxin gave him a pulse and found out that she was pregnant.

Gu Han immediately picked her up, and personally came to ask Shen Wangxin for leave, saying that he wanted the little noble sister to take care of the baby.

Even if she didn't come to ask for leave for Sister Xiaogui'er, Shen Wangxin didn't dare to let her work. As soon as the little noble sister gets to work, she is even more ruthless than a man, and she doesn't dare to joke about the little noble sister's belly.

Fortunately, during this time, Ye Lanqing was already familiar with these shops in the capital, she had experience in managing her own company, and she became Shen Wangxin's right and left hand.

The management trainee plan set by Shen Wangxin also played a role at this time, cultivating many management talents for her. Taking advantage of this time, he directly let them take office, which actually saved Shen Wangxin a lot of effort.

In the blink of an eye, the weather was even colder. These days, there have been several snowfalls in the capital, and Aunt Shen, Sister Xiaogui'er and others have never seen this goose-feather snow, and they always stay by the window, staring at the heavy snow outside.

Gu Han is okay, although he is a Lingnan native. But when he was a teenager, he ran to many places with his father, and he had been to the far north of the Great Zhou, and his vision was extremely broad, which was not comparable to ordinary people.

When Shen Wangxin went to Guanwai, it was already spring. Although the snow outside the window has not completely melted, it is still better than the real ice and snow in winter.

On this day, it is the time to send the king of the stove and the mother of the stove back to heaven to report on their work. Everyone set off firecrackers, lit incense in front of the stove, and gathered in the dining room with a charcoal basin, drinking the wine that had been warmed and put some sugar, and the whole body felt warm.

Gu Han is usually silent, perhaps because he was melted by today's lively and warm atmosphere, so he talked about the weather outside the gate.

"I was once delayed on the road with my father and encountered a heavy snowfall outside the gate. At that time, the entire caravan was trapped on the road, and the wind was heavy and the snow was heavy, and the road ahead was not visible at all. ”

"We had to wait all night in the carriage until the snow had passed. Fortunately, the caravan was full of young and strong men, and they managed to get through. ”

"When the sun rose the next day, we found that the horses outside had frozen to death. It's just that because the snow is so heavy, the horses are frozen, and they stand stiff and straight in place like ice sculptures. Gu Han said in one breath, as if he was still immersed in the situation at that time.
