He let go of his son's hand, held his forehead, and then poked his fingers at his son's head, hating iron and steel: "You give Lao Tzu a word by word and listen carefully!" This silver is the last time the little lady Gu made a bet with someone, the gambling game in the teahouse, and Lao Tzu took a little broken silver to bet! ”

"I didn't expect that little lady Gu was really capable, and she actually won! So the money bet by others went into the pockets of Lao Tzu and Gu Xiaoniang's maid! Do you understand? Stinky boy! I really want to stuff you back into your mother's belly and let you reincarnate! I wouldn't be so stupid! ”

"That doesn't have to be ......"

Mu Yi's head was poked by his father, and he dodged backwards, while still stubbornly saying, "If you stuff me back and reincarnate, I may be stupid like my mother!" ”

"Stinky boy! You still dare to call your mother stupid! Mu Cheng couldn't listen to anyone say a bad word about his wife, so he immediately held down Mu Yi again.

"Daddy, Daddy! I know it's wrong! I'm kidding you! Mu Yi hurriedly smiled and begged for mercy.

The father and son quarreled for a while, and Mu Cheng carefully put away the silver: "These silver can't be touched, this is all for Gu Xiaoniang, so that she can see your mother's illness!" ”

"Uh-huh!" Mu Yi nodded like pounding garlic.

Mu Cheng thought about it, took out a small piece of broken silver, handed it to Mu Yi, and explained: "You have flowers for this, but don't spend them indiscriminately!" Buy something to eat and drink, just don't spend it on others! ”

"Uh-huh! Dad, don't worry! I only give myself flowers! Mu Yi hurriedly took the silver and promised.

"At this point, I'll invite a few of your uncles, go for a little wine tonight......" Mu Cheng took out two taels of silver again, thinking of the relationship between these good brothers and himself for many years, as well as the help he had many times, he was ruthless, and took a total of five taels of silver, planning to invite them to a good drink tonight!

He instructed Mu Yi again, "You go buy meat, and let's go to your fifth uncle's house tonight." ”

"Okay!" Mu Yi immediately responded.

……

……

At night, Chaowu's small broken courtyard, which usually only hears the sound of grinding utensils, is finally a rare lively.

In the hall, several old brothers who have known each other for more than ten years or even more gathered together, eating small dishes, drinking small wine, and gossiping.

As he spoke, the topic naturally came to Mu Cheng, who was rarely willing to spend money on a treat.

Mu Cheng, to say that he is very capable, it can be said that as long as he is willing to make a move, there is nothing he can't steal, but since he became a relative twenty years ago, and later had a son, it is like a different person, and he no longer wants to do those dangerous things, only doing a "small business" every day, and can take care of food and clothing.

Because of this, his days are often tight.

If you want to ask him, he said that he should treat it as a virtue for his wife and son, and he would not do the work of a big ticket.

"Where did you get your windfall today? suddenly invited us to eat wine and meat again, Lao Mu, shouldn't you be out of the rivers and lakes again? A big man with a beard habitually put one hand on Mu Cheng's shoulder and joked to him.

"Isn't this a blessing to others? Tell me to make a sum of money for nothing! Mu Cheng's face was already drunk, and when he heard this, he laughed, and while eating peanuts with chopsticks, he replied happily.

"What blessing? How do you say that? Another man who was white and fat, with a kind smile on his face like a Maitreya Buddha, looked at him with interest when he heard his words.

Only Chao Wu was not interested, drinking a little wine lazily, listening to them with a bored face.

Mu Cheng then said: "Isn't it the gambling contract that made a fuss a while ago?" I was in a teahouse at the time, and there was also a gambling game in the teahouse, and I listened to the little lady Gu's miraculous medical skills, so I thought, what if she can cure my wife's illness? I followed a bet, and others bet on the other party to win, but I prefer to bet, betting on this little lady Gu to win! I didn't expect that today, half of these bets went into my pocket! ”

As he spoke, he paused, and then deliberately sold Guan Zi and said, "Guess, whose pocket is the other half of the bet?" ”

"Who? In addition to you, there are also people next to you, betting on that little lady Gu to win? The white fat man asked with a strange face, he also knew about it very well, after all, it was a rare lively event in the county, and it was too much for him to join in this excitement!

"Of course! This person is no one else, it is the little lady Gu herself! Mu Cheng raised her eyebrows and said, "She asked a little girl next to her to go over and bet on her own win!" ”

"This little lady has a plan in her heart! No wonder you dare to make such a big bet! I also heard today that her two elder brothers went to take the county exam, and the scholars of Yuemo Academy all went to the scene, and when they saw her brother's legs and feet, they apologized to her brother in front of the county master, saying that they were the ninth-rate! Ha ha! These ninth-rate scholars look down on us! It's a delight! The fat white man laughed heartily and drank another glass of wine.

"What bet?" At this time, Chao Wu, who had been eating and drinking in silence, suddenly asked, "And who is the little lady Gu you are talking about?" ”

"Haha! Don't you know? When the bearded man heard him ask this, he couldn't help but laugh.

"What do I have to know? And it has nothing to do with me? Chao Wu rolled his eyes at him and said speechlessly.

"Fifth brother, don't you know? He didn't bother to pay attention to anything other than the wood and iron in his hand! As long as he doesn't want to hear it, what's going on outside will never reach his ears! The white fat man commented with a smile.

"So what the hell is going on? What is the name of that little lady Gu you are talking about? Chao Wu didn't bother to pay attention to these comments, and only asked Mu Cheng.

"Why do you keep chasing and asking who this little lady Gu is? Mo not, or someone you know? The bearded man looked at him strangely.

"Maybe you've fallen in love with someone else?" The white fat man laughed.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I suddenly remembered that Jiang Zhen's stepdaughter is surnamed Gu and also practices medicine! I heard you frequently mention this little lady Gu, I'm just a little curious! Chao Wu glared at the white fat man and said angrily.

"Uh-oh." As soon as the white fat man heard Jiang Zhen's name, he immediately got serious, raised his elbow and touched Mu Cheng, but because he was too strong, he almost knocked over the thin monkey-like Mu Cheng with one elbow, and was embarrassed to help the person up, but the wine was spilled, and then he met Mu Cheng's glare with a simple smile on his face, licked his face and asked, "What is the name of the little lady Gu?" ”

"It seems to be called...... Gu Baoying? Without waiting for Mu Cheng to open his mouth, the bearded man first recalled the name he heard before, and said uncertainly.

"This is it!" Mu Cheng immediately slapped the table and said affirmatively, "I've seen her once!" A very smart little lady, not to mention how good-looking she looks! ”

"It's really Gu Baoying?" When he heard this, he immediately sat up straight.

"That's right! That's the name! You can't go wrong! Mu Cheng said affirmatively.

Chao Wu's face immediately showed a complicated expression.

When the bearded man and the white fat man saw this, they couldn't help but get complicated: "Isn't it, this is really the stepdaughter of Jiang Zhen?" ”
