(29) The secret of the eldest lady
Miss Zhang is very depressed, what should I do?
As soon as the card was started, she knew that she was Hu, but she definitely couldn't Hu now! How can you throw this deadly card out without a trace, and people can't pick out the thorn for a while?
A good card in hand, but like holding a hot potato, this short moment, is as long as a few hours as difficult. Rao is Zhang Qingting was full of scheming, and he couldn't think of a good trick for a while, frowning, and his face turned pale in a hurry.
"Miss Zhang, what's wrong with you?" Uncle Zhou saw that she looked bad, and asked with concern, "Are you sick and uncomfortable?" ”
Sickness?! This is really a word to wake up the dreamer!
Miss Zhang quickly calmed down, her eyes flashed, she covered her face with her sleeves, and pretended to sneeze.
"Ahh With a loud sound, he shook his hand and flipped the deadly card onto the table.
No regrets! Even if it turns the tables around afterwards, it's none of her business. Zhang Qingting smiled secretly in his heart, very grateful to Uncle Zhou. I thought, if I don't win today, I won't be able to do it!
As soon as the card landed, she pretended to regret it, looking at the card and feeling distressed.
Let a few other people secretly wonder if they accidentally played a good card? But who knows what's going on in Miss Zhang's belly?
At the end of the card, the cards are played more cautiously.
After Uncle Zhou played a card, he seemed to be a little incredulous, and even his hands began to tremble.
Zhang Qingting squinted at him, laughing in his heart, he was afraid that he would lose, and he didn't even dare to win, and let him think about it for a while.
She was like a mirror in her heart, but others didn't know it, and urged, "Old Zhou! Hurry up! ”
Zhang Qingting persuaded gently, "This game is almost over, Uncle Zhou might as well take a closer look, don't make a mistake!" ”
"Ah...... Well! Uncle Zhou's sweat on his forehead was dripping down, and he moved the horse tag in front of him one by one, added the last card, counted from left to right, and from right to left, and looked back and forth twice, but still didn't dare to make a sound.
"Uncle Zhou is nonsense?" Zhang Qingting looked anxious for him, so hurry up and push the cards!
Uncle Zhou raised his hand to wipe a handful of sweat, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times before he could speak, but the words were not very neat, "This seems to be ...... It seems to be ...... What nonsense, right? ”
Zhang Qingting looked at his cards slightly sideways, his face pretended to be surprised, and then he was gloomy, "Uncle Zhou, you are really nonsense!" ”
She was the first to knock the cards down, signaling the end of the game.
This mutiny can be taken by surprise by the gamblers in the audience.
The shopkeeper was already waiting next to him, announcing the results of the game on the spot, and Uncle Zhou could take away one hundred taels of silver!
And the eldest daughter of the Zhang family worked hard for three days and nine games, but only ended up with forty taels of silver. Oh no! only got thirty taels, and she also lost ten taels of silver in the last game.
This is still the gambling house to give her face, look at her filial piety and pity, confiscate her entrance fee for each game. If the whole thing is calculated, Zhang Qingting will have to pay out sixty taels of silver!
The eldest daughter of the Zhang family announced on the spot that although she lost today, her old debts had been paid off, and she would never set foot in the gambling game again!
"But how could you lose?" The gamblers who were anxious to lose in the audience pointed the finger at her, "Obviously, you won the first eight games, how can you lose in this last game?" ”
Don't say that Zhang Qingting doesn't like to listen to this, and he can't even listen to the shopkeeper, "Ouch! Big brother, what do you mean by that? Miss Zhang is a human being and not a fairy, how can she guarantee that she will win the game? You can't just buy her and win the first few games and make money, so you can't let her lose a game too, right? Does this still make sense? ”
"I don't believe she's going to lose! I want to review! Right! To review! ”
In the last game, there were really a lot of people who bet and lost, and seeing the anger of the crowd, the shopkeeper had to comply with the public opinion, "Then review!" ”
The results of the review, as Zhang Qingting expected, on her key card, everyone sighed.
"Everybody's got it! Miss Zhang really didn't try her best, but she lost this game by accident! This is also the will of God, and no one can blame it. Could it be that she can win, but she deliberately can't lose? ”
With this sneeze, it was not only Zhang Qingting who was lost, but also how much gold and silver were lost! It was the most expensive sneeze in the history of Zaranburg, and a few years later, it was still talked about and became a legend.
The game is over, Miss Zhang feels very happy, and she should retire after completing it!
"Miss Zhang, do you still want a silver ticket today?" Xue Zi'an took the empty silver ticket and prepared to fill in the number and seal.
"No need!" Zhang Qingting waved his hand, "This money is not much today, just give it cash." ”
"It's fine." Xue Zi'an deserved to be happy, and deliberately opened a large silver box in front of her, which was shining with gold and silver, and her eyes were charming.
Zhang Qingting is not rare at all, I don't know how many people's blood and sweat have been squeezed out there, she is not greedy for this black-hearted money, a lady loves money, and she also takes it in a good way!
"Trouble the third master to give me five taels of gold and an ingot, and ten taels of broken silver!"
Xue Zi'an was slightly surprised, but he still took the silver from her according to the number. Five taels of gold is only a small ingot, and ten taels of broken silver are put together, and they don't hold a single hand, "Why does the girl want these broken silver?" ”
He handed the silver out, but Zhang Qingting did not reach out to take it, but opened the folding fan in his hand and stretched it out to the front. Xue Zi'an understood and put the silver down, and Zhang Qingting took it back and put it in his purse.
"It's just for home use, it's weird to take more, so let's redeem it when you need it." Zhang Qingting gently and skillfully covered up the topic and gave a new salute, "Third Master Xue, thank you for taking care of me these days, the little woman is grateful." I hope that your business will prosper and reach Sanjiang, and your wealth will be prosperous all over the world! ”
Although I feel that this person is not good, but he is leaving, he still says two auspicious words, which can be regarded as leaving room for each other to meet again.
Xue Zi'an smiled and returned the salute, "Thank you Miss Zhang for your kind words!" The girl will be free in the future, but she must come to the gambling house again. The girl can rest assured, but a cup of tea and friends are just reminiscing. ”
Zhang Qingting was about to refuse, but he thought that it would be difficult to meet in the future anyway, so he responded in vain, "Then there will be a period later." ”
One more goodbye, she was about to leave. Xue Zi'an sensed a subtle mistake, and suddenly said something to stay, "Miss Zhang, you have also made a lot of money for the gambling house these days, I don't know if there is this Rongxing today, please have a light meal?" ”
The smile on Zhang Qingting's face stiffened slightly, and he quickly covered it up again, "I'm really embarrassed, I'm really a little unbearable after working hard all day." Yesterday, I occasionally felt a cold, and my body was really unpleasant. Now I just want to go back and have a good rest, your kindness, the little woman understands it, look at Xue Sanye Haihan! ”
"Ahh No wonder I saw the girl looking haggard today, is this really sick? See a doctor? If you don't dislike it, how about introducing you to a doctor below? His medical skills are extremely brilliant! ”
The more enthusiastic he chattered here, the more unhappy Zhang Qingting became, what happened to this person? Still sticking to yourself like kraft candy?
"It's just a little sick, why is the third master of Lao Xue worried? The little woman is fine, she has already taken medicine, as long as she has a good rest, she will be cured. ”
"In that case, so be it!" Xue Zi'an also offered this courtesy, "You will take my sedan chair back!" Although it has only passed the summer, but the sun has not yet set outside, if it is heat again, it is not good, Miss Zhang must not refuse! ”
"Thank you so much for Third Master Xue's kindness!" Zhang Qingting was depressed, this is really an urgent illness and encounters a slow man, the more anxious she is, the more trouble she will have! The present can only be used to support the past.
Xue Zi'an's eyes were slightly colorful, and he personally sent her out, and saw her get into the sedan chair, so he glanced at the side, and the two guys followed from a distance.
Keep calm! Zhang Qingting took a few deep breaths in the sedan chair, and his brain was calculating quickly.
Together with the sixty taels of silver today, a total of two hundred and forty taels have been received in the past three days. This amount of money is enough to ensure that he has food and clothing for three to five years.
As for the remaining more than 30 taels of silver, leave it to the six members of the Zhang family! That's enough for them to eat for a year.
Zhang Qingting opened the curtain and looked at the day, when he had just handed over the application. It's good to go back to the inn now, I was angry yesterday, nothing was arranged, and now I go back and explain, and I can be regarded as benevolent and righteous when I go.
Miss Zhang made up her mind, sat firmly in the sedan chair, and began to think about a plan to get out!
Zhang Qingting thought very clearly, the six members of the Zhang family were too inferior, and she was not the Guanyin who rescued the suffering, so she didn't have the heart or energy to teach their family to go on the right path.
What's more, Miss Zhang is also used to enjoying it, in this unfamiliar Bei'an country, she finally earned a sum of silver, why didn't she swallow it by herself, but share it with those six people?
Otherwise, why would she go to great lengths to help Silver Hook Casino earn money? Zhang Qingting had already thought very clearly when he promised to help Zhang Facai repay his debts.
For this family, there must be no such unconditional support! It is a great kindness to help them but to go into debt and leave behind the money.
In the days to come, Zhang Qingting has to think about it for himself.
So when talking to Xue Zi'an, she deliberately took Zhang Jinbao out, and only collected cash tickets in the past few days, not cash, for what reason, in order to facilitate running away!
A few days ago in the inn, she seemed to be chatting with the guys, but in fact, when the six members of the Zhang family were not paying attention, she carefully inquired about the water traffic in the Zalanburg area.
Zaranburg is located in the upper right corner of Bei'anguo, and it is also a large town, with convenient water and land transportation. However, if you travel by land, you have to rent a horse-drawn carriage, or charter a car alone, or wait for three or five fellow travelers to gather in a group. No matter which one it is, there are many inconveniences for a single woman like Zhang Qingting. In case the coachman or his accomplice had a black heart, and went to some wilderness and left her behind, or robbed her of money, or robbed of sex, and was more ruthless, and killed people or something, she would call the heavens and the earth unspiritual.
Relatively speaking, it is safer to take a boat. On the wharf not far from the inn, there is a boat every morning and evening to send people from Erdaozigou into the Lotus River, down the river, as long as half a day's work, it will arrive at a big wharf called Yonghe Town. It is very convenient to transfer trains and ships there, and after three or five days, you can go directly to Chengping, the capital of Bei'an.
Zhang Qingting is a person who is used to living in a big place, even if she is a subject of Bei'an, she still recognizes a reason: whether it is marrying or making a living, which country has the most opportunities is definitely the capital!
Good birds choose wood to perch, and Miss Zhang's wood has been chosen, that is-Chengping.
