Chapter 158: The Gambling Contract

More than ten years ago, the Qin family's accident was well known in the capital, and the fire of the Qin family reflected the sky in a corner of Beiping. It was then that Qin Shaoxiang's sister was lost.

He searched for many years, searched every corner of the capital, and found Jiangnan from Beiping, but there were no clues. That year, Qin Shaoxiang was seven years old and his sister was four years old.

Meeting Shen Yu was something Qin Shaoxiang didn't expect.

He originally thought that a four-year-old child should have some memories, but he tried three times and twice to no avail, so he had to comfort himself and say that when that kind of thing happened to the Qin family, he was trembling with fright. My sister is young and may have forgotten selectively.

Qin Shaoxiang stared at Shen Yu's shoulder, stunned and a little distracted.

"Don't be too busy thinking about what is wrong," Shen Yu reminded, "When the tea is ready, there will be a time for you to worry." ”

Qin Shaoxiang smiled heartily, "Then I'll wait and see." ”

Shen Yu never gambled uncertainly, but in the eyes of outsiders, she gave herself a problem.

Hexiang spent all day in a daze around the pile of tea leaves in the yard, waiting for some miracle to appear.

She couldn't help but say to Laifu: "I've never drunk bad tea, and I don't necessarily can't soak it, I don't know if I will have stomach trouble if I drink it." ”

Laifu looked secretive, "Grandma must have her thoughts." ”

Hexiang was worried about tea and gambling every day, but Shen Yu's mind was not here at all, she turned out all the account books of the Sheng family in the past two years, and read them carefully.

The small Buddha hall in the second room, not counting the incense money given out, will cost thousands of oceans every year, which is enough to build a brand-new three-story small western-style building.

The money was spent, the small western-style building was not built, and the tattered Buddhist hall in the second room, Shen Yu had seen it, and it was full of ash everywhere, and the second lady didn't even bother to send someone to clean it.

The spring rain is as expensive as oil, and after half a month of drought, a few clouds finally floated and it began to rain.

Shen Yu stood in front of the window and watched the rain, she thought to herself, when the rain fell, the matter over there in the tea garden would come to an end, and Sheng Yanqing would be able to pull out her hand and come back.

Xie Changli came over to report the account and said, "Grandma, the railing in the back garden has been repaired, this is the rest of the money, and the accounts are all recorded on it." ”

Shen Yu nodded, she didn't remember to check the account books or count the remaining money, but looked up at Xie Changli and said, "Steward Xie, ten oceans can renovate the corners of the back garden, do you know how much the small Buddha hall in the second room costs a year?" ”

"Little ones don't know." Xie Changli lowered his head and said.

Shen Yu smiled helplessly, "I have looked at the account books for the past two years, and in order to repair the Buddhist hall in the second room, I have to spend thousands of oceans from the account every year. It's no wonder that the eldest lady slammed the door, the family's money was not spent in the right place, and the old lady only cared about the general accounts, and she didn't have any idea about these details. ”

Hearing thousands of oceans, Xie Changli slightly widened his mouth.

He knew that the Sheng family's business was big, there was no shortage of money, and the old lady never spared the family's expenses, but he never imagined that a small Buddhist hall would cost thousands of yuan a year.

So how much does it cost the Sheng family to spend so many yards in a year? Xie Changli didn't dare to think about it.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Grandma, what do you have to say?" ”

He knew very well that Shen Yu was definitely not talking to him about this.

Xie Changli said, Shen Yu smiled with satisfaction, lowered his voice and commanded him.

It rained for several days, and some of the Sheng family's pavilions were in disrepair and some were leaking. Including the small Buddha hall in the second room of the Sheng family, the roof was broken, and the rain flowed down the walls.

Xu Xinyue sent the copied Buddhist scriptures to the Buddhist hall, saw that the roof was leaking, and told the second lady about it. Although she is the only daughter-in-law in the second room, her mother-in-law is energetic and refuses to let go of power.

Xu Xinyue didn't know what was wrong with it, she only knew that the second lady slammed the door and told the second lady about it with a sad face.

No, the second lady was overjoyed after checking it.

Xu Xinyue followed behind the second lady, and when she looked up, she caught a glimpse of some water stains on the Buddha statues enshrined in the room, and she said tremblingly: "Mother-in-law, what ...... There, the golden body of the Buddha seemed to be wet. ”

The materials of this Buddha statue are exquisite, in case it is damaged, it is another expense, Xu Xinyue beat the drum in her heart.

The second lady glanced at it, her face was even more happy, and she said: "If it leaks, it will leak, I see that this roof and this Buddha statue should have been repaired a long time ago." ”

She bowed to the Buddha statue, "My Buddha is merciful, and the believer will go to tell the old lady, and I hope that the Buddha will not be strange." ”

said that she would go immediately, but the second lady dragged it back and forth until the rain stopped, and she was still lazily refusing to move.

In the past few days in the afternoon, it was wet outside, Shen Yu didn't want to go out, and she was not idle in Fuyunju.

In the past few days, the air humidity is high, and the tea leaves have been fermented, and after being dissolved, they are dried.

There were people coming and going in the yard, so Shen Yu asked people to dry the tea leaves in the study, and the black tea leaves were spread out on the ground, which didn't look very elegant.

Shen Yu did this, naturally hiding it from Fuyunju's subordinates. She has only been in the Sheng family for half a year, and the maids who are waiting in the yard have changed several rounds, and there are many eyeliners installed in other yards.

Hexiang didn't do anything all day, just stood at the door of the study, and looked at the tea leaves firmly.

Three days after the sunny day, Shen Yu wrote an invitation card at a glance, inviting Qin Shaoxiang to come to Fuyunju for tea.

Qin Shaoxiang wore a white robe with green bamboo, a folding fan in his hand, his hair was neatly combed, and he was dressed very elegantly.

He sat opposite Shen Yu, fanned his fan and said, "I am willing to lose the bet, quickly bring the tea you made, Young Master Ben can't wait for you to fulfill the agreement." ”

Shen Yu said: "You can't wait so much, you have already figured out how to fix me, right?" It's a pity that I can't let you get your wish today. ”

Qin Shaoxiang smiled and said, "It's not a difficult thing to do, how can Young Master Ben not know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade?" ”

Shen Yu sighed, "I know that you don't have any good ideas by looking at your expression, but it's a pity, I'm not like you, I just want you to help me bring a sentence today." ”

"It's like you're going to win." Qin Shaoxiang scoffed.

Freshly boiled hot water is needed to boil tea, and Shen Yu has been reluctant to use a few buckets of mountain spring water sent by Sheng Yanqing a while ago, so in order to fully brew the taste of the tea, she let Hexiang boil a pot.

While the two were talking, Hexiang brought boiling water over, opened the lid of the purple sand teapot, and poured water into it.

In an instant, the fragrance of tea emanates out, and the tea fragrance is rich and intoxicating.

Hexiang was washing tea, Qin Shaoxiang couldn't wait to lean over and look, "This is not those moldy tea leaves a few days ago, right?" Don't fool me with other teas. ”
