gambling

Aunt Zhou was satisfied, but Aunt Li was crying.

Tao'er knelt on the ground and held the box, her face was angry and aggrieved, Xing'er didn't look good, so she hurriedly called a little maid, "Go and invite the eighth young master, hurry up!" ”

When Xing'er entered the house again, Aunt Li was still crying, and Tao'er also kowtowed with red eyes, "Auntie, it's not that the slave and maid committed the crime, but we really can't do this!" You don't think about yourself, you also have to think about our Eighth Young Master, your own son, Brother Chun in Canglan Xuan! ”

"Our eighth young master is about to enroll, yes! Mrs. is merciful, she must be able to prepare everything, but can Mrs. still make up for it? ”

"When the time comes, don't talk about entertaining, I'm afraid that I won't have money if I want to eat an extra fruit! Do they all count on the second young master and the third young master? Or do other brothers have food and play, and our brothers are watching from the side? ”

Tao'er said, she was also sad, and burst into tears, "That school is also a place to praise the high and step on the low, our eighth young master's background is already a little worse, and his hands are not rich, how difficult is that?" ”

Aunt Li covered her handkerchief, and she was even more choked up when she heard Tao'er's words, "Then what can I do?" My mother's family has never opened my mouth in the past few years since I got married, this time please entrust me here, how can I watch it? ”

"If it's a small favor, a few taels of silver, you will help if you help, but this is a thousand taels, and it's a gambling debt, and you haven't saved anything in the past few years, is it possible that you don't go out when clothes and jewelry?" Xing'er sighed, and knelt beside Tao'er, but Aunt Li was not allowed to touch the silver box.

"No, a gambling debt!" Tao'er's tears fell even harder, "If it's something serious, or a natural disaster, we can't watch them starve to death!" ”

"But what's this gambling debt called? How many can you quit gambling? Could it be that his aunt will make up for him a lifetime of holes? ”

Aunt Li wiped her tears, "They said, my brother is just this time, he was deceived, and he will never be in the future, that is my own mother, do I watch her work hard for my brother?" ”

"This time?" Tao'er was angry that her mother's family was shameless, and she was also angry that Aunt Li was confused, and she couldn't speak.

Xing'er hurriedly gave her a smooth breath, "Auntie, do you believe this yourself?" When you entered the house, the slave and maid were young and had not been blessed to serve you, and they did not know how much the gift was. ”

"But the rules of the family are two hundred taels of silver for a good concubine, four horses of brocade, and four acres of land, and the wife will only have more than this."

"Why can't your mother's family come to see you and even wear decent clothes? Where did the money go? This is not the first time, and it is estimated that it is not the last time, you smashed the pot and sold the iron this time and took all the money left for your son......"

"And what about next time? Staring at the dowry of the daughter-in-law? ”

"Shaohun said! Where will I stare at my daughter-in-law's dowry, and then say, again......" It will not be her turn to call her daughter-in-law.

"You won't, and neither will you? They can find their daughters who are married and bought as concubines, what else can't they do? Xing'er was also angry when she said it, and Peach's face was even more angry next to her.

"That'...... That...... Do you want me to watch my own mother and father starve to death? Aunt Li cried and fell on the pillow and felt sad, feeling that she was useless, feeling sorry for her son, feeling sorry for her mother, and seeing the two maids crying pitifully......

The three masters and servants were crying in the Xufang Building.

"Don't cry yet, tell me what's going on." An Chun came in by lifting the curtain by himself, and along the way, the little girl said everything east and west, and he couldn't hear it clearly.

When Tao'er Xing'er saw An Chun coming, she had the backbone, the two of them were maids in the end, and the courage just now was nothing more than Aunt Li's cowardice and didn't care, and in the end she didn't have the eighth young master's name.

The eighth young master's words, my aunt will always listen...... Right?

Xing'er got up and waited for An Chun to take off her cloak, then took the hand stove and foot stove to put on An Chun, poured a cup of fresh hot tea, and motioned for Tao'er to stand behind An Chun with the box.

Aunt Li saw An Chun coming, and hurriedly wiped away her tears, "Why are you here?" It's cold outside, don't freeze sick, see that this body is much better, you ......"

An Chun interrupted Aunt Li's chatter, "Auntie, I heard them say that my uncle had an accident, and my grandmother came to you to borrow money, what's the matter?" ”

Aunt Li's tirade was choked for a while, looking at her son Qingling's eyes, her heart was weak, and she smiled forcefully, "Your uncle cheated someone outside and lost a lot of silver, and your grandmother found me and asked me to pull it, I thought about it...... In the end, it is a close relative......"

An Chun took a sip of tea, "Didn't my uncle only be promoted to governor of Zhejiang in September?" How can someone cheat the money? Even so, my grandmother, the county lord of Feng'an, shouldn't come to you, how can we help? You should go to the palace to ask the Queen Mother. ”

Aunt Li didn't touch a nail softly or hard, knowing that what she said was wrong, she slapped her mouth, "It's me who said it wrong, it's my own mother's brother......"

"Where did my aunt come from?" An Chun pressed forward step by step, staring at Aunt Li, "If I know well, my aunt was sold to death and entered the door, to put it clearly, it has nothing to do with the life and death of the mother's family from now on, she is the person of the An family." ”

"Why did my aunt have a maiden family again? I didn't know it for so many years, because I had the intimacy that came to the door on the first day I came back, why didn't I see them and Aunt Zhou's mother's house send things in these years? ”

An Chun's words were asked directly on Aunt Li's face, Aunt Li's face was dark, and she opened her mouth to argue a few words, but she couldn't say anything, "Okay, I can't talk about you, you know whose family it is, tell me, what are you going to do?" ”

"What to do...... Actually, it's easy to do. An Chun smiled lightly, "Didn't that person be deceived, if this is the case, then report to the official, there is an aunt, a daughter who is married to an official eunuch as a concubine, and she will not dare to cheat for personal gain if she wants to come to the local county order." ”

"Oh, you kid!" Aunt Li was anxious, "How can this be reported to the official?" Even if you report to the official, it's useless......"

"Why didn't it work...... Oh......" An Chun's face suddenly realized, "The deed of borrowing was signed by himself, the gambling hall was entered by himself, and the hand that placed the bet was not pulled by others, but it was useless if it was not reported to the official?" ”

"That's the ......case," An Chun's face turned cold, "Then auntie, don't say that she was deceived, it's obviously a habitual gamble!" ”

An Chun is not really a six-year-old child in the house, I don't know how many people I have seen outside, and those who dare to lose without the first gambling must be an old oilman on the gambling table, and they are addicted to gambling to do this kind of thing.

"Did my aunt use this to fool me, or did they use it to fool my aunt?"

Seeing Aunt Li's eyes dodging, An Chun smiled coldly.

"That being the case...... An Chun stood up and put the dead box that Tao'er was protecting on the table, "Seeing that my aunt is closer to that side, my son is reasonable, but he can't say that he is biased, so he simply won't say it." ”

"Peach, Xing'er, come with me, my aunt can't accommodate you two here."
