Chapter 121: Another gambling game

Originally, he was ridiculing Lin Chengzu and Li Zijin, but now that he was inexplicably ridiculing himself, Lin Xia was also embarrassed to blush, and hurriedly took a bite of the braised prawns with chopsticks, trying to divert his attention, "Don't talk about this, eat the vegetables quickly, the dishes are cold." ”

Li Zijin also nodded hurriedly in agreement, and Lin Chengzu saw the appearance of his sister and his wife, and the smile on his face suddenly increased.

The most calm are Lei Biao and Xiao Xu'er Xiao Chen'er, the former is calm as usual, and the latter two don't know what they are talking about.

Lin Xiaxiu's eyebrows suddenly frowned, only to feel a nausea surging up from her stomach, and she quickly covered her mouth.

Lei Biao was the first to notice Lin Xia's inappropriateness, and hurriedly asked as soon as the chopsticks were put down, "What's wrong?" As he spoke, he shouted to the outside world, "Come on, call the agarwood." ”

Lin Chengzu and Li Zijin were both a little stunned, and they didn't know how Lin Xia could be uncomfortable for no reason.

Xiao Xu'er also saw her mother's discomfort, and hurriedly said, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Xiao Chen'er frowned tightly and echoed: "Mother, your face is so white." ”

After suppressing the disgusting feeling, Lin Xia smiled bitterly and comforted, "I'm fine, my mother is fine." ”

Agarwood moved very quickly, seeing that Lin Xia's face was as white as paper, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to take Lin Xia's pulse accurately and powerfully, and her eyes suddenly lit up with a serious face, "Master, Madam, this is happy." ”

The voice fell, and there was a moment of silence in the dining room.

Lin Chengzu and Li Zijin didn't react for a while when they first heard that Lin Xia was pregnant, and after a while, they hurriedly said: "Congratulations to my sister, congratulations to my brother-in-law!" ”

Lin Xia only felt that the world was mysterious, just now Lin Chengzu was still joking to let Lei Biao work harder, and the next moment she would be happy?

The most calm face is still Lei Biao, but this action is not calm.

Directly hugged half of her body in his arms, his resolute face buried in her hair, and whispered, "It's finally back." ”

Lin Xia was only stupidly held, not understanding what he meant by this.

As soon as Agarwood heard it, he knew what Lei Biao meant, saying that when Lin Xia came to the capital from Yaohai City, he met a water bandit, and Lin Xia was pushed into the sea by the water bandits, and unknowingly lost a child.

They all had a tacit understanding and never mentioned it to Lin Xia, but now Lei Biao blurted out excitedly, presumably he must be full of guilt for the lost child in his heart.

He only blamed himself for not protecting Lin Xia and letting that child have nothing to do with them.

"What's coming back?" Lin Xia asked blankly.

Lei Biao shook his head, "It's nothing. ”

Xiao Xu'er and Xiao Chen'er obviously didn't know what it meant to be happy, and there was deep sorrow on their round faces.

"Daddy, what's wrong with my mother......?" Xiao Xu'er asked worriedly.

Xiao Chen'er accosted, "Yes, why is my mother's face so white?" ”

Lei Biao's thin lips raised slightly, with a gentle smile, and touched the little heads of the two little ones dotingly, "Your mother's belly is pregnant with a little sister." ”

Lin Xia smiled sweetly on her little face, and quipped: "Husband, why are you so sure it's your little sister, maybe it's your little brother?" ”

As he spoke, Lei Biao's face sank, and he said bluntly, "I think my daughter is better." ”

"Okay, good, you say." It's not, this birth of a boy and a girl was originally what the man said.

"Madame's fetal month is really shallow, only about a month, I have to give birth well, I will immediately go to make a dose of fetal medicine for Madame." After speaking, the agarwood retreated.

Xiao Xu'er tilted her head and asked, "Why is the little sister not the little brother?" ”

"That's right, why is it a little sister and not a little brother!" Xiao Chen'er is like Xiao Xu'er's copy machine, always repeating words with similar content to her brother.

"Don't you like little sister?" Lei Biao asked, to be honest, he actually wanted a daughter in his selfish heart, and he wanted a daughter when Lin Xia was pregnant with her first child.

As for the son, I have to say that the children and grandchildren of their Lei family are too prosperous, his mother Lei Wan gave birth to four sons, his uncle Lei Li gave birth to three sons, the Lei family has been passed down for three generations, and only one Lei Wan has been born, you can imagine what a rare pearl in the palm of the hand, it is his turn, he also wants to have a daughter.

Xiao Xu'er glanced sideways at her younger brother Xiao Chen'er, and said directly, "I don't want a younger brother like Chen'er." ”

Xiao Chen'er didn't hear Xiao Xu'er's words at all, and only said excitedly: "I want a younger brother, I don't want a brother!" ”

Well, both brothers hate each other's existence.

I saw Xiao Xu'er say triumphantly, "You don't have a choice, I will always be your brother!" ”

"Hmph." Xiao Chen'er glared at Xiao Xu'er fiercely, hugged Lei Biao's arm and said coquettishly: "Then I want a younger brother, so that I can bully him." ”

"No, I want a sister!"

"I want a brother!"

"I want a sister!"

"Alright, stop arguing!" Lin Xia just wanted to roll her eyes, she was only a month pregnant, and the two little guys began to quarrel about whether it was a younger brother or a younger sister, if you want to know the answer, please wait for nine months.

The two little ones hurriedly silenced themselves and stopped arguing.

When Li Zijin heard about Lin Xia's pregnancy, he was extremely envious, and unconsciously touched his lower abdomen, hoping that there would also be the crystallization of Lin Chengzu and her love here.

Lin Chengzu noticed his wife's small movements, and hurriedly comforted: "How long have we been newly married, and there will be." ”

Li Zijin nodded again and again, she also knew that the child couldn't be in a hurry about this kind of thing.

Lin Chengzu smiled helplessly, he didn't expect to encounter a happy event when he came today, and suddenly remembered the gambling game that Lin Xia had set up when he was pregnant with Xiao Xu'er and Xiao Chen, and hurriedly said: "Brother-in-law, do you remember the previous son or daughter's gamble?" ”

Lei Biao glanced at him, "You want to bet with me?" ”

"Hey, hey, you're gambling with me again!" Lin Xia protested helplessly, "Have you ever considered my feelings when you opened a gambling game with me?" ”

Li Zijin only frowned slightly, and asked curiously about the origin of this gambling game. Lin Chengzu talked about the events of the year in detail, but he was unlucky, he bet on a girl back then, but he didn't expect his sister to give birth to two sons, but today he has a chance to turn the tables, how can he let it go.

Lei Biao only nodded, and took out a hundred taels of silver tickets from his arms, "Yes, I bet on Xia Er's daughter." ”

"Then my sister gave birth to a son." Lin Chengzu said bluntly, and hurriedly took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels from his arms and put it on the table.

Lin Xia rolled his eyes and complained directly: "Is there a mistake?" You don't take me seriously! ”

I saw Lei Biao hugging Lin Xia's waist, "Xia'er, don't let your husband down." ”

"......" does that mean let me have a daughter?

"Sister, you can't let me lose twice." Lin Chengzu said sincerely.

Does "......" mean that I should have a son?

Li Zijin found it interesting and asked softly, "Sister, can I also bet?" ”

Lin Xia was angry, and directly broke the jar, straightened his waist and patted the table, "Charge!" I'm the banker! Give me all the money! ”

When the words fell, Zisu, who had been serving Xiao Xu'er and Xiao Chen'er beside him, also silently took out a silver ingot or two and handed it over.

Then the matter of opening a gambling game spread in Lei Mansion, and everyone seemed to be very curious about it, and they all bet silver one after another, ranging in amounts. Lin Xia, who was only harmed, had to make a small notebook to write down the men and women and how much money these people were betting, so as not to count them randomly.

It's been nine months since the outcome of this gamble was made.

In the first three months, the fetal position was unstable, and it was necessary to give birth well, Lin Xia was ordered to prohibit the wife who was not allowed to go out to socialize in Beijing, and could only raise the fetus at home with peace of mind.

Lin Xia is happy to be idle, but he is not idle, but he began to toss the matter of cards at home, intending to make cards a product of Yalinju, which can be regarded as advertising in disguise.

Specially invited the painter, draw a pair of exquisite cards, but also specially 'upgraded', the name of the gentleman's card, because the pattern in the card is from the 'Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum' four gentlemen evolved.

However, this gentleman card Lin Xia is only used for gifts, and she also knows that someone once paid a high price to buy the tiger card currently used in the casino, but Lin Xia did not think of selling the cards as a commodity at that time, but now there is an opportunity, it is a more exquisite and exquisite gentleman card, and it must be able to use this gentleman card to attract a lot of contacts.

As for the original version of the Tiger brand, Lin Xia also asked people to draw it in batches, and sold it directly in the Twin Restaurants, but the number was limited, only a hundred pairs were sold every day, on a first-come, first-served basis.

What I never expected was that the popularity of the cards had far exceeded Lin Xia's expectations, and it was almost taken less than ten minutes every day to rob people, and even the black price was even released, and the original cards with a pair of silver were directly fried to ten taels or twenty taels.

For a while, almost everyone in the capital was talking about solitaire, and even the storyteller in the teahouse who usually relied on storytelling to get money was also explaining how to play solitaire at this time.

Lin Xia was amazed, in order to avoid affecting the reputation of Yalinju because of the high price of the cards, he directly spent a lot of money to invite all the painters in Beijing, and painted from morning to night, from the initial 100 to 500.

It's just that this popularity is too strong, Lin Xia also opened a cash register, specializing in selling cards at the door of the twin restaurants, every day this line is long, and every day there is no pair left.

This card has been only circulated among the middle and upper class people in the capital, and now the tiger card has spread in a very short period of time, and for a while, many people do not go to the place of fireworks or the casino, and play cards at home every day.

With such a landscape, Lin Xia could only say in amazement.

Now Lin Xia can see the income of five hundred taels of silver on the account book every day, and she can't help but sigh, if she sells it for a month, she will have an income of 150,000 taels of silver a month, and it is no problem to open another restaurant, so it seems that it is really the easiest thing for fun to spread.

However, due to the sale of solitaire to the outside world, the business of the twin restaurants has also plummeted, and it all depends on the income of solitaire......
