Text Chapter 34 Gambling (Ending)
Xiao Lingxiao's voice came from the voice of the divine wolf in his mind, "Master, will you just let him go?" ”
Xiao Lingxiao replied in a dark voice, "Since you already know his identity, you don't have to kill him right away." If you can run, the monk can't run the temple, not to mention, the relationship between him and the eldest lady may lead to some interesting things in the future, we don't have to worry. ”
Xiao Lingxiao didn't say anything, and it was inconvenient for the four princes and Xiao Shumou to stop them, so Su Donghan left like this.
The gambling was stirred up like this, and everyone knew that the gambling game would never continue. No one was in a hurry to leave, they were all here waiting to see how the owner of Wanguanzhuang would deal with the matter.
Xiao Fengming leaned over to Xiao Lingxiao and asked softly, "Looking at my sister's proud appearance, she must have won a lot of silver?" ”
Xiao Lingxiao smiled when she heard this, "It's not a lot, it's just two million taels." ”
She didn't say this loudly, but everyone present heard it, and the people who participated in the gambling game frowned, but Xiao Shumou and the others couldn't help but gasp.
Two million taels? Still a mere thing?
At this time, Xiao Lingxiao nodded and called the dealer and the bewitching woman who had been hiding in the far corner, and said, "Please go back to your master, if this gambling can't continue, I, Xiao Lingxiao, will collect the money and leave." ”
The two of them nodded again and again with deferential faces, and hurried out.
Xiao Fengming saw that Xiao Lingxiao was not angry because of Su Donghan's matter, but was in a good mood, and his heart finally let go. He smiled and asked, "My sister has two million taels of silver, how do you want to spend it?" If my sister doesn't plan yet, Feng Ming is willing to do it for her and help her sister spend a flower. ”
Xiao Lingxiao turned her head to look at him with a serious face, not like a joke, thought about it, nodded and said, "You can take it and spend it, but remember, sister, I never do a loss-making business." ”
Xiao Fengming smiled indifferently, "That's nature." ”
It didn't take long for the dealer and the bewitching woman to return with a delicate wooden box. The two came to Xiao Lingxiao, opened the wooden box, and everyone looked at it, and it was full of large silver tickets.
"This is the silver won by Miss Xiao, and we have all exchanged them for silver tickets, which is convenient for you to carry."
The bewitching woman put the wooden box in front of Xiao Lingxiao, and then said loudly, "Today's incident is all a misunderstanding. The host asks for your understanding, and the gamble is over. It is customary for the host to invite a guest to the inner house to meet him......"
When she said this, the spirits of everyone present were shocked. After all, this Wanjin Hao gambles on life and death every year, and what they care more about is the identity of the owner of Wanguanzhuang.
But I heard the enchanting woman continue, "The master said that I am afraid that it will be inconvenient to see Miss Xiao today, and I will definitely send an invitation another day, and I will also invite Miss Xiao to come to enjoy the light at that time." ”
Although everyone had already guessed that the person invited would be Xiao Lingxiao, who had stirred up the gambling for no reason, they didn't expect that they would be invited to meet again in the future. Most people were discouraged because they had lost this opportunity, but the four princes' eyes lit up, and there was a glimmer of hope in their hearts.
Since we will meet in the future, then he will still have a chance to pull back Xiao Lingxiao's heart!
Originally, after Xiao Lingxiao was kicked out by the Xiao family, the four princes were very shaken, but today seeing Xiao Lingxiao's actions and unpredictable skills, he once again strengthened his determination to take this woman into his hands!
Xiao Lingxiao got a lot of silver tickets, and she was so happy that she couldn't keep her mouth shut, so she didn't care too much about whether she could see the owner of Wanguanzhuang. She took Xiao Shumou and others to leave Wanguanzhuang and returned directly to Fali Temple.
Back at Fali Temple, Xiao Lingxiao showed off two million taels of silver to the Xuan brothers and sisters, and returned the principal that Xuan had taken out before to him, and handed over the remaining silver tickets to Xiao Fengming.
Xiao Fengming was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Xiao Lingxiao to really give so much silver to himself with confidence. The sense of trust contained in this made Xiao Fengming's heart warm, but he didn't say much, and put away all the silver tickets as a matter of course.
Xiao Ranjun looked at Xiao Lingxiao not only safe, but also seemed to be living much better than in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and his heart could be regarded as letting go. The old lady has been very strict with him recently, and he can't stay here for long, so he will return to the imperial city first.
Xiao Shumou is an idler, and there is excitement here, so he can't stop smiling.
Xiao Lingxiao only remembered to ask at this time, "Third uncle, why did you go to Wanguanzhuang at that time?" ”
Xiao Shumou squinted his eyes and picked the corners of his mouth and said, "I haven't been idle during this time, and I've been looking for the whereabouts of the man you said." Later, the eldest lady contacted the man again, and I found out, and they passed on the news that the man was going to participate in the Wanjin gambling ...... Feng Ming said that the man had seen you, and he was afraid that he would kill you on the spot, so we hurried there. ”
Xiao Lingxiao looked at Xiao Fengming again when she heard this, and wanted to ask him how he got the invitation, but after hesitating, she felt that she should not open her mouth for the time being. It seems that what Xiao Fengming is hiding is not simple, so it is better to wait until he wants to say it himself.
After the Wanjin gamble, Xiao Lingxiao still lived in Fali Temple safely, but the news that she went to participate in the Wanjin gambling and won two million taels of silver in one fell swoop immediately spread in the imperial city.
When the news reached the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xiao Shuyong was so surprised that he couldn't even close his mouth.
Before he could take a closer look, the old lady had already sent someone to call him.
Xiao Shuyong went to the inner room of Xianglin Courtyard and saw that Xiao Shumou was sitting on a chair with a hanging appearance.
Xiao Shuyong also sat down after greeting the old lady, and then heard the old lady ask, "Third child, you just came back from Fali Temple, tell me, what is going on?" ”
Xiao Shumou didn't hide it, and said, "Mother, eldest brother, are you going to ask Ling Xiao about it?" Didn't it spread all the streets? She participated in the Wanjin gambling and won two million taels from Wanguanzhuang, which is all true. ”
The old lady and Xiao Shuyong both shook slightly when they heard this.
Two million taels of silver! The Xiao family prides itself on being a famous family, but they have no ability to take out two million taels of silver casually! Not to mention the children of their clan, who has the ability to earn back two million taels of silver in just one or two months!
That's ...... Two million taels of silver!
"How did she do it? Wan Guanzhuang gave her the silver? The old lady asked incredulously.
Xiao Shumou smiled and nodded, "I didn't see it with my own eyes what was going on in the gambling game, but I was there when Wanguanzhuang gave the silver ticket." By the way, mother, the fourth prince and cousin Donghan were also there at that time, and my mother had the opportunity to find them and ask them in detail. ”
Hearing this, the old lady frowned and glanced at Xiao Shuyong, who had a calm face and didn't know what he was thinking.
At this time, Xiao Shumou asked the old lady, "Mother, the matter of Hualing'an, the six princes and Jing Zhaoyin have not found anything, and it is not safe there. Ling Xiao, a young lady who has not been out of the cabinet, seems to be inappropriate to live in Fali Temple all the time. Shall we see when we will pick her up? ”
The old lady was slightly stunned, and then said in a deep voice, "I asked her to become a monk in Hualing Nunnery, also for the sake of the Xiao family." Who knew that she would not stop when she left the Xiao family, and she would make so much trouble. dared to enter and exit a place like Wanguanzhuang, and the Xiao family's face was lost by her! ”
Xiao Shumou shook his head and said, "Mother is not right, if Ling Xiao becomes a monk at this time, what will outsiders think of our Xiao family?" Push a good child into the empty door, maybe this child will still hate the Xiao family in the future. But if her mother sent someone to pick her up and put her by her side to discipline her, it would be her creation. That child is already fifteen years old this year, and it won't be long before she has to find a family affair, and when the time comes, the Xiao family will happily send her away, which is reasonable, isn't it all decent. ”
Xiao Shumou was like a river, and gave the old lady a step without waves. Everyone can see that the old lady and Xiao Shuyong are now thinking about the two million taels of silver, and it is nothing to them whether Xiao Lingxiao comes back or not, but if the Prime Minister's Mansion has two million taels of silver in the account all of a sudden, it will be a good thing.
Xiao Shuyong didn't speak, secretly thinking in his heart about the silver that the field shops below could collect this year, even if he caught up with the best year, it would never be possible to recover two million taels this year. If you have two million taels of silver, you can not only buy some more land, but also build another courtyard outside the city. Seeing that the New Year is approaching, walking around with the emperor's relatives and officials in the court, all kinds of banquets, a large amount of silver is needed everywhere, these are all related to the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion, in previous years, the eldest lady was always chirping crookedly because of these things, if there are two million taels of silver this year, everything does not need to have any worries. The famous craftsman's ink painting mentioned by the emperor last time was still hanging in General Hong's reckless study, and how much silver would it cost to get his hands on it before he realized that it was the emperor's favorite......
Xiao Shumou sat quietly on the side, watching the wonderful changes in the expressions on the faces of the old lady and Xiao Shuyong, and sighed faintly in his heart. He didn't know if Xiao Lingxiao had expected such a day, and he didn't know if she wanted to use the two million taels of silver as a bargaining chip to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion, if she really calculated like this, she would be very smart, and she hit the key point of these people at once.
The Xiao family of the Prime Minister's Mansion can be described as very beautiful, but the more such a family, the more powerful the person, the more they understand how many things silver can do, so the more they value money.
Xiao Shumou lowered his head, and under a smiling face, he hid the contempt and helplessness in his eyes.
As an uncle, I left Ling Xiao alone before, but now I want to help her, but I can only help to this extent.
After a while, Xiao Shuyong made up his mind, raised his head and said to the old lady, "Mother, what the third brother said is not unreasonable, Ling Xiao's child has a perverse personality, and if he is outside, he may cause even more trouble." It's better to take her back, and then I will tell the Qi family to discipline her well." ”
The old lady's eyes lit up when she heard this, and the corners of her mouth were raised knowingly.
