After Cheng Hang's death, Mrs. Bai's mental state was really bad, crying all day long, and what was even more sad was that none of her children came to see her, but Cheng Tang was the only one, but she still didn't cherish the beating and scolding, which shows that she deserves it.

…

…

"Girl, it's raining, let's not stand at the door."

At the square entrance of the Quarry Pavilion, Cheng Qi stood under the eaves of the corridor, looked at the crystal curtain, and said, "Sister-in-law, has you woken up at this time?" ”

Qingmiao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Not yet, the little young master of You Zhi has been naughty all night long, and the young master and young lady Qiubai are afraid that they are still asleep, no, they didn't even go to the school." ”

Cheng Qi responded lightly, still standing with his hands down.

Qing Miao was puzzled: "The girl has asked four or five times when she is so old, but what is the matter with finding the young lady?" If it matters, let's call the young lady up. ”

"Not necessarily."

Cheng Qi stopped: "It's not a big deal, but it's not a small thing. ”

"Xiaoqi."

As he was talking, Cheng Yan walked in from outside the courtyard, Xin Yi gave him an umbrella, but he poured it like a chicken in soup, but the person who was being served had a face that was not ashamed.

"Xinyi is still raining, you take two steps quickly."

Cheng Qi urged.

Cheng Yan raised his eyebrows, and stood under the verandah in the past, Xin Yi hurriedly collected the umbrella and went back to change his clothes, and the man shook the rain on his sleeve and said, "Do you know, the one over there in the Guogong Mansion is almost gone." ”

Cheng Qi was stunned, first asked Qingmiao to go back, and then asked, "What about the Guogong Mansion?" His heart trembled, "You can't be talking about grandmother." ”

"Of course not." Cheng Yan shook his head calmly, "Grandmother is in good health and tough, she is the one in the third room, I heard that she has been coughing up blood since last year, but she has been hiding it." ”

"It turned out to be Cheng Yunduo."

Now that this name is mentioned again, Cheng Qi has no fluctuations in his heart, since he divided the family, he should have a festival when he went out, and the two rooms have not been contacted for a long time, it can really be regarded as you taking your Yangguan Road, I will cross my single-plank bridge, and do not interfere with each other.

In this way, Cheng Yunduo said that he was her third uncle, but he was actually similar to a stranger.

"I know he's sick." Cheng Qi said, "It's just that I thought it was a minor illness, but I didn't expect this person to be terminally ill." Helplessly, he lowered his eyes and said, "Why is Cheng Yunduo hiding it like this, what are you waiting for if you are sick or not, is it a terminal illness that can't be cured?" ”

"Perhaps."

Cheng Yan looked at the rain curtain with his hands and said calmly: "I asked Zhou Lao Lang about it, and he said that Cheng Yun took this, maybe it was a heart disease, and he had no heart medicine for a long time and accumulated hard work to become ill, so he ended up like this." ”

"Heart disease?" Cheng Qi frowned.

Cheng Yan has lived for so many years, and has had a lot of contact with Cheng Yunduo, so he said: "Cheng Yunduo is a person who loves to hold everything in his heart, he longs for his grandmother's maternal love, but that person doesn't like him, he often gives in to you and me, not because he is afraid, not because he is shackled, just because he doesn't want to make his grandmother angry, the separation of the family, the name of the separation of the family is actually to cut off contact, completely ruining the illusion of family harmony, this matter is the first time he has angered his grandmother so much, for more than a year, He trembled under the majesty of his grandmother, and had to endure the accusations of He Xiping, he loved face, but he did not have enough confidence. Glancing at Cheng Qi, "The business of the three villages is declining in his hands, he is fine on the surface, but he must be worried in his heart, he soaks in the village day and night to do things, and the iron man has to rust out three nails." ”

"Then ...... him"

Cheng Qi didn't know that he would ask like this: "Is there really no way to heal?" ”

Cheng Yan raised his eyebrows: "If Zhou Lao Langzhong said that there was no way, then I think that in the entire Xiping Nine Cities or the whole world, only the Imperial Doctor could save his life." ”

Hearing Cheng Yan say this, Cheng Qi chuckled helplessly, that is to say, Cheng Yunduo actually has no need to heal: "When?" ”

Cheng Yan knew what she was asking, so he said: "It depends on the situation, if it's good, it's a year or two, and if it's bad, you may not be able to survive this autumn, so let's watch." ”

Cheng Qi squinted at him.

Cheng Yan continued: "It's useless for us to guess, only Cheng Yunduo knows his physical condition, as long as you and I pay close attention, when will he start arranging the question of the business of Sanzhuang, it means that he is really dying." ”

"Go and stay with the problem." Cheng Qi said, "What else can I do, it's just to leave all the business of the three villages to Cheng Ming, I hope that person can learn the lesson of Cheng Hang." ”

"Bai Jue's methods are so ruthless."

Cheng Yan chuckled and said, "How can Cheng Ming not take it as a warning." Suddenly remembered and said, "Ah Yao should be awake at this time, you go to her, but avoid the eldest brother, if that person knows what you are doing with Ah Yao going out, with his woman's temperament, he will definitely not let him." ”

Cheng Qi nodded with a smile, and said blankly worried: "But...... What if the fourth young master of the Bai family refuses to guess the pearl with us, or loses the guessing pearl? ”

"What to do?" Cheng Yan rubbed her head and comforted, "It's best if you can get it back if you win, if you can't get it back, you can't get it back, it's not a big deal." ”

After eating the reassuring pill given by Cheng Yan, Cheng Qi nodded calmly, she shook the man's warm hand, and watched the drizzle stop, and then walked out of the courtyard with her skirt.

And after the man went out of the courtyard gate, a golden light suddenly flashed in Cheng Yan's sleeve, he subconsciously took out the scroll, waited for the extreme heat to subside, and carefully opened the scroll.

When he saw the new line of words on it, Cheng Yan's pupils, which had always been calm, shrank suddenly, and at the same time, his ten fingers clenched and pursed his lips slightly.

——June 21, the twentieth year of Tianxi, joys and sorrows are always ruthless.

In the eyes of others, this poem may only be literal, but this scroll is a golden finger that Cheng Yan has crossed over, and he naturally knows the meaning behind this poem.

Today is June 11.

And the meaning of this poem does not refer to himself, Cheng Yan frowned, he knew that in ten days, Cheng Qi's first opportunity to travel back would appear.

Cheng Yan slammed the scroll shut, his heart pounding.

Cheng Qi.

You can go back.

…

…

"Sister-in-law, don't be so excited."

On the fresh street after the rain, Shen Lu walked briskly, walking ahead, she and Cheng Lan slept until noon, naturally full of energy, but this summer afternoon, Cheng Qi was sleepy.

Shen Lu looked left and right, and said with a smile: "Hurry up, what are you rubbing." ”

I don't know what this person is excited about, Cheng Qi is a little confused, could it be that he hasn't been on the gambling table for a long time, so he heard that he was going to take her to Mengzhuang, so that's why it's like this?

Originally, I thought that person would wash his hands in a golden basin and not go along with him, but he didn't expect Shen Lu to agree without saying a word, and even deceived Cheng Lan before her.

"Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't have confidence in you."

Cheng Qi said helplessly: "It's just that Bai Jue looks like a veteran, you haven't honed your skills for a long time, can you do it, I only took five hundred taels out of the house." ”

Shen Lu took a fruit from the stall next to him to eat, Cheng Qi had to pay, and the man walked dexterously backwards, and smiled at her: "Xiaoqi, I have been traveling with my master since I was a child, and I was brought to the gambling table by him since I was three years old, and when I was seven years old, I was already an old fritter. ”

Hearing what she said so evilly, Cheng Qi felt that this matter was in suspense, so he hesitated: "Otherwise, this dress is famous and food...... I don't want it, in case you don't win back the clothes, clothes, and food, and then export my five hundred taels of silver tickets, isn't this stealing chickens and rice? ”

"Oops."

When Shen Lu heard this, he impatiently walked over and grabbed her arm, and said, "Don't be grinding here, you can see me on fire." "Crisp snapped his tongue," letter sister-in-law's. ”

Cheng Qi had no choice but to nod.

After entering Mengzhuang, with the two of them as women and Xiping, they immediately attracted the attention of the people around them, listening to their pointing and pointing, Cheng Qi and Shen Lu were quite calm.

Needless to say, the latter has never seen any kind of casino in the past with the master, and the latter is because in modern times, he has destroyed a gambling den that is even more smoky than this.

"Hey, isn't this Miss Qi and Mrs. Lan?"

Seeing this, Alun, the little guy in the casino, hurriedly greeted him, but after a few glances, he said with a little sneer: "It's just that this is not a place where my daughter's house can stay, presumably the two aunts and grandmothers went wrong, and the tea house went to the left, not here." ”

With that, he greeted the position of the door, and turned around to leave.

"Stop."

Shen Lu is an old fritter, and his natural state is relaxed, so he grabbed him, pushed the bracelet on his wrist with his hand, and said, "Who said we went wrong." ”

Alun reacted very quickly, touched the bracelet and immediately pulled it into his sleeve, and no longer asked what they were doing here, but just stretched out his hand and said, "Those two, sit down?" ”

"Not necessarily."

Cheng Qi glanced around and said, "What about Bai Jue?" ”

Alun was stunned for a moment and said, "The girl is looking for the fourth brother of the Bai family?" ”

Cheng Qi nodded.

"Oops." Alun said regretfully, "That's really unfortunate, this morning's drizzle, the fourth brother of the Bai family didn't come, otherwise the two of you will come back another day?" ”

"Didn't you say that Bai Jue spends twelve hours in Mengzhuang on weekdays?"

Shen Lu said.

"But this man ......"

"Miss Qi looking for me?"

Alun was embarrassed, and suddenly saw a figure appear at the gate behind Cheng Qi, he breathed a sigh of relief, walked over and said, "You came, I thought you had something to delay today." ”

Bai Jue beckoned him to go down, then looked at the person in front of him, and said, "This is not Miss Qi and ...... from Qingquan Villa Autumn White's Lady? ”

When it came to Shen Lu, Bai Jue's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he still remembered that when he, Cheng Lan and others were studying in the academy two years ago, Shen Lu was Cheng Lan's red sleeves.

The difference that the man rode away won his heart, but later he went to live in the country for a while, and heard that the two were married, but he didn't expect it to be true.

Looking at Shen Lu in front of him, he faded away from his original youth and stubbornness and the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes, and became today's stable and decent, generous and leisurely appearance, and even his son was born, and his waist was still like a willow, and he couldn't help but sigh, that sick seedling was really a blessing.

"I don't know if the two of you came to this smoky Mengzhuang to find me."

Bai Jue's eyes didn't leave Shen Lu half a step: "What's the matter?" ”

Cheng Qi frowned slightly, and said: "That is the case, I will also say it directly, I heard that the paper deed of the famous food is now in your hands?" But really? ”

Bai Jue didn't hide it: "Yes, it's in my hands, the more Cheng Hang gambles, the more prosperous he becomes, and finally takes out the paper deed to fight me to the death, but he loses, and the paper deed naturally belongs to me." ”

"Although it is natural to repay debts." Shen Lu said unhappily, "However, if you go to sue the official if you don't get the money and beat him to death, how can this life be counted?" ”

Maybe Bai Jue is the physique of shaking s and shaking m, he feels exciting when he abuses others, but he is just as excited to be abused and loved by others, just like now, Shen Lu's reproachful eyes and questioning tone make him feel very comfortable in his heart, so that he likes this girl more.

"I didn't kill him."

Bai Jue said with a smile: "I'm just...... Cut off his fingers and ears, knocked out his teeth, cut off half of his tongue, I thought, these must be worth eight thousand taels, so, this account is paid off, and then the person was sent back to Changshi Mansion, but I didn't expect him to not carry it and die, so I can't blame me. ”

"That's enough."

Looking at Bai Jue's frenzied but unaware appearance, although Cheng Hang should die, Cheng Qi, who was born as a criminal policeman, was still a little uncomfortable, and just said: "Cheng Hang is not dead, I don't care, I just want to get back what belongs to me, that is, the paper deed of the famous food." ”

"But Cheng Hang lost to me."

Bai Jue raised his eyebrows and said.

"Then you will lose to us again." Cheng Qi also raised his eyebrows, "I know that your Bai family has a big business, and there is no shortage of this small business, but our Cheng family is lacking, not to mention that this is what I have worked hard to start a business, besides, you have been full of Xiping's propaganda these days, this clothes and famous food are useless to you, I don't know how to deal with it, don't you just want us to ask for it?" ”

"You're wrong."

Bai Jue said unexpectedly: "I don't want you to ask for it, I want you to beg me, beg me to give you this clothes and food, how about it?" It's a good deal. ”

Sure enough, it's a shaker.

Cheng Qi summed up to Bai Jue in his heart, but fortunately, before coming, Cheng Yan had already given her the priority of this task, since this famous food was given, there was not much hope of returning to his hands, let alone begging him as Bai Jue said.

"Perverted."

Cheng Qi said coldly, dragged Shen Lu out, and said, "Since people don't want to talk to us well, just don't want it, sister-in-law, let's go." ”

Seeing this, Shen Lu didn't do anything else, just followed Cheng Qi out, and when he was about to go out, he suddenly glanced back at Bai Jue, the pair of starry bright eyes, at this moment, there was a strange loss, Bai Jue was stunned, and subconsciously said: "Slow." ”

Cheng Qi also immediately stopped, turned his head slightly and said, "Say." ”

Bai Jue didn't expect Cheng Qi to be a hard stubble, when those women saw her, they were either in a hurry or afraid to avoid it, but she looked like an iron-beaten female general, so she simply patted her shoulder and said: "It's worthy of Cheng Qi, you do things neatly, never drag mud and water, but you are too decisive, there is something to discuss, I want this famous food is useless, if Miss Qi is interested, we can bet on a game, win, this famous food will be returned to you." ”

Sure enough, I took the bait.

Cheng Qi was overjoyed in his heart, but he still looked cold on the surface, turned around, and deliberately hesitated, Shen Lu next to him saw this, and hurriedly tugged at her sleeve and said: "Grandma, since he said so, then let's just gamble with him, and the clothes and food are also your hard work, let's gamble." ”

Cheng Qi also got off the donkey down the slope and said, "That's good." Rolling up his arms and sleeves, "Then Aunt Ben will have a good bet with you, and I hope that Bai Gongzi can do what he says, don't regret it." ”

"I, Bai Jue, have always done what I said, but."

Who knew that Bai Jue turned his words, stretched out his hand and pointed at Shen Lu opposite, and said, "But I don't want to bet with you, I want to bet with this young lady Lan, how about it?" ”

When Cheng Qi heard this, his heart was even more beautiful.

Bai Jue, this is what you want to hit on the knife edge.

But she deliberately made an uneasy expression, and then looked at Shen Lu, the person was obviously playing mahjong and wanted to catch the chicken, and he didn't dare to come to other good skills, but he also showed some crampedness, pretending to be hard-headed, and said: "That's good." ”

…

…

"Since the two of you haven't played guessing beads, the little one will ...... the rules"

"Not necessarily."

In front of the mirror flower platform, Cheng Qi and the three of them sat opposite each other, because this contest was very interesting, so the whole room gathered and listened to her say: "I haven't eaten pork, haven't you seen a pig run, isn't it just to guess the odds and doubles, don't you talk about those who have and don't, just start quickly." ”

Shen Lu dragged her again, for embarrassment: "Grandma, I don't know yet." ”

In this way, she made those people even more sure that Shen Lu would not play these things.

Cheng Qi had to fold his arms and say, "Okay then." ”

Seeing the situation, Aaron explained the rules again, Shen Lu seemed to understand a little, and then took out a silver ticket of two hundred taels and put it on the table: "No matter, then let's start." ”

Bai Jue chuckled, and also took out something from his sleeve, but it was not a silver ticket, but another stack of neat paper, which should be the paper deed of the famous clothes.

It's just that the corner over there is red, which should be Cheng Hang's blood.

"I've got something here."

Bai Jue tapped his finger and said with a smile: "Whether you can take it back or not depends on the good skills of the two of you." Withdrawing his smile, "Let's get started." ”

Alun got the order, picked up the porcelain cup and scooped it in the bead basin, and then shook it in the air like a bartender, and then slammed it on the table, glanced at the two places, and said: "The two of you can guess the odds and doubles now, but a table clear?" ”

"Of course."

"Nonsense."

Bai Jue and Cheng Qi said at the same time, and the former raised his eyebrows, and after pondering for a few seconds, he said: "If that's the case, I'll guess ......" suddenly raised his head, "It's better to be like this, let Young Lady Lan guess first." ”

Shen Lu was stunned, a little cramped flashed in his eyes, he gritted his silver teeth, and said, "If you want me to guess first, I'll guess...... Single. ”

"Then the fourth young master is a double?"

Aaron asked.

Bai Jue nodded.

Alun opened the porcelain cup this time, took out the silver chopsticks, and dialed the silver beads to the other side one by one, and finally, there were only two left on one side of the chopsticks, and he raised his voice: "In the first game on this mirror flower platform, the fourth brother of the Bai family wins!" ”

Immediately there were cheers and mockery, and there were more ridicules in the house.

Shen Lu's face turned pale, and he subconsciously looked at Cheng Qi, but the man looked pale, threw the two hundred taels of silver tickets over, and took out two hundred taels to slap them on the table: "Go on!" ”

Bai Jue chuckled, asked the family behind him to put away the silver ticket, and dissuaded: "I said that the two noble daughters of the Cheng family, not my Bai boasted, don't look at my young age, but on this gambling table, there are not many peers who can beat me, I think this clothes and famous food, you can't take it back, don't waste the silver ticket, go back quickly." ”

"Where did all this nonsense come from!"

Cheng Qi said impatiently: "Start the second game!" ”

Alun was busy shaking another round, and this time, Shen Lu guessed the double, Bai Jue guessed the single, and after the cup was opened, Bai Jue won again, Cheng Qi frowned, and shot the last one hundred taels.

"I said ......"

Alun couldn't stand it anymore, and dissuaded: "Let's go back first, this Bai family brother is the best at guessing beads, you fight with him, isn't this an egg hitting a stone." ”

"Tear your mouth apart with more!"

Cheng Qi stared at him fiercely: "Start!" ”

Alun had to do it, but this time, Cheng Qi said to Bai Jue: "Bai Jue, if my sister-in-law responds to this game, you ......"

"I'll give you back this famous food, and four hundred taels from Fang Cai."

Bai Jue smiled leisurely, and took out a silver ticket of one thousand taels from his arms and put it on: "I'll add another one thousand taels." Laughing contemptuously, "I can't do it, I really laugh to death." ”

The people around him also laughed.

At this time, Shen Lu's eyes shone slightly, and he said, "Let's start." ”

Aaron shook the cup again and snapped it neatly.

"Single!"

This time, Shen Lu didn't wait for Alun to ask, and first said his choice, Bai Jue raised his head when he heard this, frowned a little strangely, and then said: "Young Mrs. Lan, you can't be a broken jar, you must know that if you lose this time, you will really lose your wife and soldiers." ”

Shen Lu lost the restraint of Fang Cai at this time, the look in his eyes became the calmness of the leader, and Bai Jue Fox, who was looking at it, was suspicious and uneasy, and after being silent for a few seconds, he said, "Then I guess double." ”

After reconfirming, Aaron opened the porcelain cup.

Shen Lu smiled even brighter, reached out directly, took away all the silver tickets and paper deeds in front of Bai Jue, put them into his sleeve and said, "Fourth son, I'm welcome." ”

With that, he pulled Cheng Qi and turned around and walked in the direction of the gate.

The people around looked confused, how could this result not come out, so they took the things away, Bai Jue and Xiaowu glanced at each other, and the latter shouted: "Hey, you ......"

"Four...... Fourth Young Master. ”

Aaron suddenly called timidly.

Bai Jue turned his head and saw the last three silver beads, his pupils shrank, and he turned his head suddenly, and Shen Lu also just looked over, showed a sly smile, and left calmly.

"Young Master......"

The little guy also said incredulously: "We were tricked." ”

Bai Jue clenched his fists, and his eyes were red and fell silent.
