Chapter 30: The Miasma of Smoke
"Well, when you grow up in the future, don't forget your uncle, he has always treated you like his own daughter." After speaking, she sighed a little, her eyes wandered, as if she was missing that man, this sentence of biological daughter was not normal for her.
After Zhao Chunan left, she called her big maid in, handed her the drawings in her hand and said, "Go and give this to that man, saying that this is Rou'er's favorite jewelry." ”
When Zhou Yuan came to Cui Yuxuan with 10,000 taels of silver tickets in his arms, the little guy who received me last time said with a smile on his face: "I'm sorry, guest officer, someone has booked this jade hairpin and Bu Shao." You can check out the others, the others are also very good."
At this moment, this little guy's heart is bitter at the moment, the young lady has not come to take it away after booking for several days, and she has received a silver ticket from others. At that time, he said that he would come over in a few days, but he didn't say that he had to, and the little guy muttered in his heart, with a difficult expression on his face.
"Booked? Which young lady, I'll go and talk to her. Today you must sell to me, and if you don't, you must sell to me. He said angrily.
"Well, guest officer, wait a moment. I'll ask our store manager, and I'll pack it for you immediately when our store manager nods, what do you think? The little servant said with a smile.
The store manager was a bewitching woman, wearing some heavy makeup, and walked to the third floor to ask the man on the third floor.
The man in the dark color costume nodded, "Just sell it to him, that young lady won't come to buy it." ”
But after a while, the little guy came in with a smile on his face and said, "The store manager said that the person who came is a guest." Today let you down, our store manager gave you a 20% discount, this is a receipt, I will wrap it up for you immediately. ”
I saw Zhou Yuan take out the silver ticket from his arms, stuff it into the little girl's hand, and go downstairs angrily with the jewelry box.
It's a grumpy man.
Zhou Yuan put the things next to the pillow and put them away, and when he was about to put the thousand taels down, he hesitated, took a sip of tea, and took the thousand taels and passed through two streets and entered Changle Fang.
When the girl came back to report me, I was lying on a wicker chair in the courtyard, enjoying the rare tranquility of the afternoon.
"Miss, Miss, the man bought it, he bought it." The girl ran in excitedly and said.
"Just buy it. Good work, come get something to eat. I handed her the fruit from the stone table.
"Miss, I'm not hungry or thirsty. I also saw him go into Changle Fang to gamble. Miss, you said that he was a person who gave ice cubes, where did he get so much money to buy jewelry, and he went to Changle Fang to gamble. The girl scratched her hair and asked suspiciously.
"He is naturally rich, and he is probably still a frequent visitor to Changle Fang."
Yes.
In his previous life, he saved a person in Changle Fang.
Thinking of this, I suddenly got up from my chair, and I also had to go to Changle Fang, and if nothing happened, I saved that ruffian who was also good at gambling today.
I had a gut feeling that this person would definitely help me in the future.
"Girl, how much money do I have in my little vault?" I said with a sly wink.
I suddenly lamented that there are so many places to spend money lately.
"Miss, there are more than four thousand in your little vault."
"Go, bring me a thousand taels, and give me a more natural attire, so that people don't see at a glance that I'm the butler's lady."
"Miss, what are you going to do again?" The girl leaned over to me and said.
"Miss, I'm here to save people, don't ask. Come on, get me a simple folk outfit. ”
I saw that in the bronze mirror in the mirror, he was wearing a clear single shirt, and the wide neckline looked wide and fluttering. The head is simple and elegant, the green silk hangs down the shoulders, the hosta is obliquely inserted, the face is like a peach and like the snow is sunny, the eyes are like a pearl and like the spring water, and the slender waist can't help but be windy.
Satisfied, he turned around, took a thousand taels of silver tickets and left.
"Buy and leave, buy big and buy small. Come on, open it", when the curtain was lifted, there was a feeling of black smoke and miasma as soon as I entered the door, only a few low windows let in a few glimmers of strong light, and the interior was even darker, and the crowd was crowded around a lively table.
I frowned, there was something uncomfortable here that made me feel like I couldn't breathe.
I walked around, searching, only to find that the gambler was not there at all. With the fact that he still remembers me after so many years, I feel in my heart that he is still a kind and righteous person, much kinder than those well-dressed beasts. If you don't have the bad habit of gambling, you should be a motivated young man.
I shook my head, I didn't care what Zhou Yuan was doing at the moment. Maybe the person didn't come today, and was about to leave, when he saw the crowd in the back hall, it was estimated that it was that person, Zhang Lin walked to the back door with this idea, but was stopped by the two dealers guarding the back door and said: "The guest officer, please have fun in the front, and you can not come in casually." ”
"Little brother, may I ask if a person named Zhang Lin is behind?" I asked politely with a slight bow.
"That kid owes us Xing Ye money. But who are you? After saying that, he looked me up and down.
The little guy next to me couldn't look at it, and was about to raise his sleeves to show my identity, but I raised my hand to stop him.
"That's right, I'm here to pay off the debt for Zhang Lin, and I can pay him back the money he owes you Xing Ye."
He looked at me strangely, no one wanted to go along, it would definitely be better to have someone to pay back the money for Zhang Lin, "That girl, wait a minute, I'll go in and inform Xing Ye." ”
When I entered the back hall, I saw Zhang Lin with a blue nose and swollen face being pressed to the ground and kneeling, and his hand was vigorously pressed on the anvil case, and a shiny big knife was obliquely inserted on the case.
Xing Ye had a deep scar on his face, which went down from the corner of his eye, giving people a terrifying feeling. Holding a pipe, I slowly spit out the circles under my eyes, and sprayed it at Zhang Lin, who was kneeling on the ground, I smelled the smell and felt as if my voice was choked by an invisible palm.
"Xing Ye is good"
I bent my waist slightly, a simple salute, his territory, and I can't show my identity. That's all there is to it.
He put the cigarette pipe on the table, picked up the tea and said, "The girl must know the rules, Zhang Lin owes a lot of money, where did you get the money for him to pay off the debt?" ”
"Naturally. How much is owed? ”
Xing Ye smiled evilly, grabbed Zhang Lin's hair, and grinned in pain, and there was still a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. He looked at me, smiled evilly and said to Zhang Lin: "Where did you rub your thigh, count your good life." ”
"Girl, he owes me a total of 300 taels. This..."
I grabbed it before he finished speaking: "Here is 1,000 taels, but Xing Ye you have to promise me, in the future, Xing Ye, in the field you are in charge of, he" I pointed to Zhang Lin on the ground and said, "You are not allowed to let him in." ”
"This, girl, you are obviously breaking the rules. Unless you have his deed of sale, the next time he comes, we still welcome him in the casino. After saying that, he smiled weirdly.
My fierce gaze swept silently at him.
Leaned down, hooked Zhang Lin's jaw, and forced him to look at me: "Say, will you still gamble in the future?" ”
It was the first time Zhang Lin saw such a beautiful woman, a woman who was caught in the whirlpool for him, all of them are men, but this young lady has such courage and courage, she nodded at the moment, don't say that she will not gamble in the future, even if she really sells herself, she will willingly sign the contract.
I saw the amazement in Zhang Lin's eyes when he first saw me, and the deep fascination at the moment. He nodded obediently, "Don't gamble, never enter the gambling house again." ”
"Master Xing, this is a silver ticket, you take it."
I motioned for the little guy to take the silver ticket to Xing Ye, and then went to help Zhang Lin, who was beaten half to death, and left this smoky place.
As I left the casino, I took a deep breath of the air outside. Then I looked at the man, who was also a handsome man, and said, "A man has to say what he says, and you have to do what you just promised." What you said in front of Xing Ye today, if he doesn't do it in the future, you are ready to let Xing Ye poke your backbone. ”
I saw him fall to his knees, which scared me. "Thank you Miss for saving me today, I don't know Miss's name, after all, he will repay his kindness."
"I'll definitely look for you when I need it, where do you live?"
He skillfully told him where he lived, and I listened carefully, wasn't it in the same place as Zhou Yuan? "Then do you know a man named Zhou Yuan?"
"The girl is talking about Uncle Yuan, I know, and I am separated by 3 families. He also often comes to gamble, but he often loses money, and a loss is thousands of taels."
"Well, it's fine. If you really want to repay the favor, help me keep an eye on the man, but don't tell anyone. You are injured, you take this medicine to grab this, and when you are well, you will come out to find a job, and I will not enter the gambling house as you promised. So saying, he put a mina of silver in his hand.
He touched his hand as if he had palpitations, and the cold blade just now was about to cut at his hand.
"Yes, yes, how dare you disobey Miss's order."
"Hmm." With that, I turned and left. What I didn't know was that Zhang Xiao looked at me for a long time, and only then did he grin and go to the medicine shop until he couldn't see me.
By the time I dragged my tired body back to Xiangfu, the sun had gradually sunk to the west.
I listened to the bustle in Zensui-in.
It turned out that the third aunt invited the second aunt and Xiao Rong'er to her palace for dinner.
Maybe she faintly felt in her heart that this second aunt had fallen into the same world as herself in the past few years.
But I know that the two of them are never on the same level, and the communication is definitely not on the same level, so it is estimated that her third aunt has more to show off.
I walked into my funeral home.
I said to the girl who was making my bed, "Go and get dinner."
"Yes, Miss. The lady drank tea. As he spoke, he brought me a cup of hot tea, and he was still comfortable at home.
"By the way, girl, did the housekeeper clean up Yinyue Xuan today so that the second aunt and daughter could move in?"
The girl instructed Xiao Ye to prepare dinner, and when she heard my question, she turned back and gossiped and said, "Miss, fortunately you let me stay in the house today, the house will be lively this afternoon." ”
"Oh? What's the fun? I raised my eyebrows, looking very excited.
"The housekeeper cleaned the Hidden Moon Pavilion in the afternoon, and also prepared a lot of vases and flowers to decorate the Hidden Moon Pavilion that had not been occupied for a long time. But when the third aunt saw it, she didn't let the housekeeper take it into Yinyue Xuan, saying that there were too many of these fancy things, which was not conducive to reading and writing for that little Rong'er. So he asked the housekeeper to move all the furnishings to his own Shanshui Courtyard. ”
