Chapter 9: The Princess and the Horse (9) (4000 chapters)
Zhang Yuchen was overjoyed, he had no silver in his hand, and even if he was lucky, he would never have a chance to turn it over.
In his heart, he still thought it was bad luck.
Remembering that he had won everyone before, he felt that he still had a chance.
It couldn't be better that Si Le Fang was willing to lend him money.
It didn't take long for Si Le Fang to take out three thousand taels of silver to him.
Unfortunately, it didn't take long for him to lose all his money.
Borrow again, lose again, and so on, when it gets dark, the little guy who followed him will not dare to borrow anymore with a bitter face.
"Zhang Gongzi, you have already borrowed 50,000 taels of silver, and you can't borrow any more here, and you must return these silver within five days."
Zhang Yuchen was originally in a state of frenzy, but at this time, the words of the little guy were like a basin of cold water, which directly sobered him up.
How is it possible, fifty thousand taels?
Before he knew it, he had lost so much?
At this moment, Zhang Yuchen only felt that the whole person had no strength, and the whole person shook and almost fell to the ground, but the little guy saw that his situation was not right, and he desperately supported him.
The little girl's face was also full of horror at this time: "Zhang Gongzi, the little one has been persuading you not to borrow anymore, but before you 。。。。。。 ”
The little guy can't talk anymore.
At this time, Zhang Yuchen remembered that he was indeed like a demon before, and kept borrowing money, because for a period of time, he won back a lot of money, and if he stopped at that time, he would be able to repay the money of Sile Fang, and he could also win back one or two thousand taels.
But at that time, he felt that he was lucky and would be able to win more money, but unexpectedly, not long after, all the money he won back was exported at once, and then he borrowed money like crazy.
Unexpectedly, I had already borrowed 50,000 yuan.
What to do?
At this time, Zhang Yuchen thought of the question of what to do.
Even if the family's title has not been cut at this time, 50,000 taels of silver is not so easy to get, let alone the whole family lives in that courtyard now.
Five days, five days, how to pay it back?
It's just that he also knows the rules of this industry, and if he really can't afford it, they will go to the house to find it at that time.
At home, he still knew that when he first moved out, there might have been so much silver, but these days, his brother was currying favor with the princess, and his father was also looking for a way.
It was not easy for my father to find a way, and he spent a lot of money during this time.
It's still a question of whether there are 50,000 taels at home.
Zhang Yuchen left Sile Fang a little depressed.
He stumbled all the way, and he didn't know how he got home.
"Yuchen, what's wrong? How do your clothes get dirty? Mrs. Zhang looked at her lost little son with some surprise, her eyes full of concern.
Zhang Yuchen was taken aback.
He looked up a little panicked, saw that it was his mother, and hurriedly showed a stiff smile: "Mother, it's okay, it's just that I accidentally fell on the road, I'll go back and clean it up first." ”
"Then let's go, didn't you fall?"
"Haha, mother, it's okay." Zhang Yuchen quickly returned to the room.
In the room, he sat in a chair, and he was dumbfounded.
After a long time, he scrubbed and changed his clothes.
It was already dark in the house, and Zhang Yuchen had no electric light, so he sat all night.
The next day, he went out just in time to see his father and brother both going out.
Zhang Yuchen's eyes rolled, and then he retreated into the room.
After a while, I went out to eat something, and Mrs. Zhang took someone out to buy something.
During this time, the family sold some slaves, and many things had to be done by themselves.
Mrs. Zhang has to take people out to buy every day.
And those aunts and concubines, the lord and wife are not at home at home, if the eldest young master and the second young master also go out, they will come out and walk around.
However, the eldest young master went out, and the grumpy second young master was still at home, so they shrank in the room and didn't come out.
Zhang Yuchen walked out, looked around, and found that there was no one, so he quietly went to the study.
Daddy's study is at the back, and no one dares to go in.
At this time, Zhang Yuchen was ready to go in and have a look.
What if you can find the silver that Daddy has hidden?
Then he will be able to take the money and pay back the money from the Soul Place.
If there is more, what if he wins? Maybe the money here will be able to be cushioned at that time.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuchen's heart came alive again.
He was still a little apprehensive, but he calmed down again.
When I walked to the study, I found that the door of the study was not locked.
His whole body was excited.
He knew that his father had hidden all the money, and that his mother had only a small amount of it.
Since he held his father's money himself, it was naturally hidden in the place where he frequented, and the study was the most likely place.
Zhang Yuchen walked in.
After looking at it for a while, he found that the study was quite simple, but it didn't seem to be a place to hide money.
Zhang Yuchen rummaged for a while, but he really didn't find the silver.
The time is almost up, and in a little while, the mother will have to come back.
Zhang Yuchen's movements became a little flustered, no, he touched a book to the ground.
He squatted down and picked up the book.
Just then, his eyes glanced and saw that there seemed to be something wrong with the desk.
Zhang Yuchen put the book back and moved it to the desk.
The desk looks simple, but underneath the desk, the board seems to be a little different.
He was crouching on the ground just now, as if he saw a thin line in the middle.
He reached out and touched the plank.
Then there was great joy, and it was really a little weird.
He moved a few more times, and the thin layer of wood was removed.
Then he saw that the bottom of the table was hollow.
And over there, there's a small wooden box.
With some trembling, he took out the wooden box, opened it, and found a stack of silver tickets inside.
He hurriedly counted it, and there were more than 100,000 taels.
What a surprise.
My father actually had so much silver, so much so that he thought that his family was in difficulty.
Zhang Yuchen's hand directly reached in, counted out 50,000 taels of silver tickets, thought about it, and took out another 10,000 taels.
He put the little box back and put the table back to its original state, and then hurried out of the study.
He hurried out the door.
I met Mrs. Zhang and them at the door again.
It's a pity that Zhang Yuchen is not in the mood to speak now.
Just shouted, and left in a hurry.
Although Mrs. Zhang was a little strange and her son was a little weird, she didn't pay attention to it.
Zhang Yuchen rushed to Sile Fang.
When he returned the silver, the person in charge was stunned, but immediately showed a smile, and Zhang Gongzi shouted Zhang Gongzi.
Not long after, Zhang Yuchen sat down and played again.
An hour later he won another thousand taels of silver.
Zhang Yuchen was very happy, and he felt that his luck had improved again.
After thinking about it, he started playing big again.
At the beginning, he also won money, and he won a lot, but after a while, he had already won more than 10,000 taels.
It's just that since then, I've started to lose money.
With this loss, all the money he had won and the money he had brought with him were all lost.
Zhang Yuchen was a little stunned for a while.
It was a long time before he left the Place.
After that, he took money from the study a few more times, but alas, he lost each time.
When he went to the study again, he found that not a single silver ticket in the small box was gone.
Now he was a little panicked, how could this be, what should he do now?
There is no money in the family, if my father found out, would he kill him?
Zhang Yuchen's life is a little dire.
Zhang Yuheng's side also did not go well.
No matter how many good things he said, the princess looked shy and affectionate on the surface, but she didn't have a word of practicality, when he talked about the title, the princess would only smile and look at it, he said that he wanted to move to the princess's mansion, and the princess said that it was inconvenient.
In short, he made no progress.
Obviously, the princess looks like she has feelings for him, why is it like this?
And Zhang Bao's side was also not smooth.
But recently, a friend handed over some voices, he needs some silver, he can get through some relationships, after all, he is not very old, and he still has to do something.
And the whole family has so many mouths, the eldest son has not made progress for a long time, and he has to find a way out.
Thinking about it this way, although there was a lot of silver, he still felt that it was worth it.
When he returned home, he went to the study, opened the secret compartment, and took out the box, but the next moment, he was completely stunned.
What about the silver ticket he hid?
Where did the silver ticket go?
If they didn't have those silver tickets, what would their family eat?
Who the hell is it?
His silver is hidden here, and only he knows it.
Zhang Yuchen hadn't been to Le Si Fang for a while, and he was still a little panicked in his heart.
It's just that he doesn't have any money in his hand, and he still has some confidence.
He remembered the study again.
The secret compartment found that day hid 100,000 silver tickets, so would my father hide silver elsewhere?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was possible.
He didn't take much care of his family before.
But think about it, after all, it was the Marquis of Lingyang in the past, sacrificing fields and the like, as well as the filial piety and the like, a little bit of it adds up, and the annual income of the family will definitely not be less.
Thinking about it like this, Zhang Yuchen felt more and more that his father must have hidden money elsewhere.
Zhang Yuchen thought about going to the study again.
On this day, he saw his father and them go out, and he crept into the study again.
After searching for a long time, he finally found another place.
Something seems wrong with a bottle.
The bottle looked very tall, but the scroll was in the bottle, and it was obviously not in the right place.
There seemed to be a section underneath the bottle that was wrong.
He stepped forward and took out all the scrolls in the bottle, and then touched the bottle, and it didn't take long for him to really find the small mechanism.
The bottom of the bottle actually fell off.
And in the middle of that, there are actually several huge night pearls.
He still has this vision, and if he sells it, he will definitely be able to sell it for a lot of silver.
This kind of good thing can also be directly received by Le Sifang.
At this time, Zhang Yuchen was already a little enchanted.
He directly grabbed the three night pearls and prepared to go out.
Fortunately, he still knew such a conspicuous thing, and it was not good to be seen when he took it out, so he put it in his sleeve pocket.
And just after he restored the bottle and was about to go out, when he turned around, he saw Zhang Bao with an ugly face.
Zhang Bao really didn't expect that there would be such a big thief rat in the house.
Zhang Yuchen was already so frightened that his face turned white.
His mind was spinning quickly, but no matter what he was thinking, he couldn't think of how to explain it.
After all, my father had repeatedly stated that no one could enter the study.
Zhang Yuchen said after a long time: "Dad, I want to find a book to read, so I will come to the study." ”
Zhang Bao smiled and said, "Looking for books, do you know how to read?" ”
"Dad, isn't this something happening at home, and my son is also thinking of finding something to do."
Zhang Bao closed the door of the study directly.
Then walked in front of Zhang Yuchen, he suddenly started directly, and it didn't take long to find those night pearls in the sleeve pocket of Chang Yuchen.
"Tell me, then, what are these?"
"Daddy。。。。。。"
Zhang Bao slapped Zhang Yuchen directly in the face.
This slap, Zhang Bao is deadly.
Zhang Yuchen's face was swollen directly.
"You still have the face to call me Daddy? How did Dad teach you? How did your mother indulge you on weekdays? That's how you stole the family's money? Where did you spend all that money? ”
"Dad, what kind of money, I don't know, I just came to find a book today, and found that there was something wrong with this bottle, so I took out the Night Pearl. Daddy, I don't know what money to give. ”
"Rebel, do you still dare to talk back? You didn't take the money? You tell me again? ”
"Dad, I really don't know what silver is."
Zhang Bao took the feather duster and smoked it.
Zhang Yuchen was in so much pain all of a sudden, and the movement was naturally bigger.
This courtyard is already small, and there is a little movement here, and Mrs. Zhang and their side naturally heard it.
Not long after, Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Yuheng also came over.
Naturally, I saw Zhang Bao beating Zhang Yuchen.
Mrs. Zhang immediately rushed forward and protected Zhang Yuchen.
"Master, what is there to say, why are you still moving, Chen'er is so old, you still beat him like this, you see, this face is swollen."
"You ask you, a rebel, what did you do, you still protect him, you have been spoiled, and now you have done such a big thing wrong, and you still protect him?"
Zhang Yuheng was also busy, after all, their aunts were also there.
"Dad, if there is anything, let's solve it together, if my brother does something wrong, let's think of a way together."
"This rebel, took the last 100,000 taels of silver left in the family, went to Sile Fang, lost everything, and now he is stealing things from the house and preparing to sell them, continue to go to Si Le Fang, do you still have to protect it?"
Mrs. Zhang was directly stunned.
One hundred thousand taels, what one hundred thousand taels?
What is the place of Sile Fang, even if she has heard of it, how could her son do such a thing?
