On the opening day of Xinglong Casino, Li Bozhou personally lit a long string of firecrackers at the door of the casino, and the crackling sound attracted many people.

The people have spread the word, and within half a day, the entire Meizhou City knows that the largest Xinglong gambling house has reopened.

For a while, a few families were happy and a few were sad.

Li Bozhou looked at those gamblers with a smile on his face, and came from all directions one after another.

Within half a day, the gambling house was full of people again.

Li Bozhou instructed the rest of the trivial matters to the person in charge, and strode out of the Xinglong Gambling House with a flick of his sleeves.

Standing on the crowded street, I exhaled a breath of relief. The bright and warm sunlight shines on the body, and the whole body is comfortable and relaxed.

He quickened his pace and walked towards the Li Mansion, and was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground for several days, and he was eager to go back to sleep quickly, and then go to the county office in the evening to talk to the county magistrate about his cousin.

When I passed by Xu's Cloth Village, I happened to see my eldest cousin Xu Qinghe walking out with a maid.

Li Bozhou hurriedly stepped forward to salute him, and said with a smile: "I happened to meet my cousin here." I heard Jingshu say that my cousin is going to open a multigrain shop recently, I don't know what kind of unique shop it is? ”

Xu Qinghe saw that his brother-in-law's face was slightly pale, his eyes were blue, and he looked overworked, and knew that he had spent a lot of effort to reopen Xinglong Casino.

At this time, when he heard his question, he replied in a casual tone: "It's just a shop that generally buys and sells rice grain, and it's nothing unusual." ”

Li Bozhou asked suspiciously: "Since there is nothing rare, why did my cousin ask for an inscription from the county magistrate?" ”

Xu Qinghe replied: "When the new store opened, I just wanted to use the name of the county magistrate to strengthen my popularity." Since adults are not happy, it is the same for me to ask someone else to ask for a question. ”

Li Bozhou had the intention to match them, and immediately said, "How does my cousin know that adults are not happy? Whole grains are a daily necessity, and they are related to the people, and adults must be willing to help my cousin. ”

Xu Qinghe looked at Li Bozhou with a strange expression and asked, "Could it be that my brother-in-law hasn't told the county magistrate about this matter so far?" ”

Li Bozhou immediately smiled apologetically.

He has been so busy these days that he has almost no time to go to the county office, and he has thrown this matter out of the clouds in his busyness.

When I got out of the gambling house today, I remembered it for a moment, so I planned to go to talk to the county magistrate in the evening, but I didn't want to meet Xu Qinghe halfway.

"In recent days, I have been busy preparing for the gambling house, and I really don't have time to go to the county office. But please rest assured, cousin, I will immediately go to the prefectural magistrate to talk about this matter, and the inscription will be sent to my cousin's house before dark. Li Bozhou hurriedly assured.

This incident is wrong, and he is not to blame.

Xu Qinghe knew that the opening of the gambling house was the most troublesome, and looked at Li Bozhou's pale face, and said immediately: "Brother-in-law, let's go back and make up for sleep!" My uncle has already inscribed the inscription for me, and the plaque is almost ready. Brother-in-law doesn't need to trouble Lord Shen, go back and rest early! ”

Li Bozhou saw that his cousin not only did not blame, but also gently persuaded himself to take care of his body, and said ashamedly: "This time I delayed my cousin's urgent matter, so I have to serve my cousin again in the future." ”

Xu Qinghe said with a smile: "Some small things, not worth mentioning. It's me who troubled my brother-in-law, and it's me who feels guilty. Brother-in-law doesn't need to take it to heart, go back quickly! ”

Li Bozhou bowed again, apologized, and left.

Xu Qinghe stood in place for a while, and suddenly said to Xu Yao: "A-Yao, let's go to the gambling house to have a look." ”

Xu Yao was taken aback, Miss wouldn't be gambling for money, right? Hurriedly shook his head and said, "That kind of place, it's better not to go to that kind of place!" ”

Xu Qinghe smiled: "Don't worry, I won't go in." Just go and see if there are any acquaintances there. ”

Xu Yao put her mind at ease, nodded, followed the young lady, and walked towards the gambling house together.

There is a small tea shed on the right hand side of the door of the gambling house, and some gamblers are sitting in twos and threes.

Xu Qinghe sat quietly in a seat against the wall, blocking his figure by the tea guest.

As the sun gradually sank, the gamblers who had lost money walked out of the gambling hall one after another with sad faces.

Xu Qinghe searched in the crowd, and really saw the gray figure, holding a stick, lame, and jumping out of the door with difficulty.

At this time, Xu Yao saw the dejected Xu Erye at the door, and only then did she know who the acquaintance in the young lady's mouth was.

"It's really a dog can't change eating! Second Master Xu only coveted his own pleasure, completely ignoring Young Master Xu who was studying. Miss, it's better for this kind of person to be driven out of the Xu Mansion. Xu Yao said indignantly.

Xu Qinghe originally thought that he would break his leg and let him be trapped for a while, knowing that money was not easy to obtain, so that he could have some remorse and shame.

Therefore, when the gambling house opened today, she still had a little luck and waited here.

This situation made Xu Qinghe really disappointed in Xu Erye, and he was completely chilled.

When Xu Qinghe returned to Xu's mansion, he immediately summoned the housekeeper Xu Fu and instructed: "Go to the second room tomorrow and tell the second uncle that I bought a house in the east of the city and ask him and the second aunt to move in." My cousin still wants to study in the county school, so he temporarily lives in Xufu, and then chooses another place to live when he is in high school. ”

Xu Fu hurriedly nodded in response.

On the morning of the second day, Xu Erye and his wife listened to the housekeeper's words, and then went to the compound to make trouble.

Xu Erye scolded and scolded in the courtyard, never leaving his niece, unkind and unfilial, and disrespectful.

Zhao didn't have time to beat and scold her husband, knowing that Xu Qinghe was really coming back, she panicked, so she simply acted like a shrew, sitting on the ground and crying wolves, crying and grabbing the ground.

Xu Qinghe only concentrated on settling accounts in the study, and instructed Xu Yao to guard the door and prevent them from breaking in.

Xu Ya was so noisy by this cry that his head hurt, and he stood impatiently in the courtyard, staring at Xu Erye murderously.

Xu Erye's legs and stomach trembled by this seeping eyes, and when he saw that he had been making trouble for a long time, Xu Qinghe didn't come out, knowing that his niece was determined to catch up with him, so he had to stop talking, helped up the Zhao family next to him, and said hypocritically: "Madam, we might as well go and stay for a few days, and then come back when Qinghe changes his mind." ”

The Zhao family naturally knew that Xu Erye was lying, but when he saw that Xu Qinghe didn't show his face, the maids and servants were all watching the excitement from a distance, and their faces were also panicked. He stood up following Second Master Xu's movements, wiped his tears, and nodded.

The two trembled and supported each other, and reluctantly walked out of the courtyard where Xu Qinghe lived.

Seeing that the people were leaving, Xu Yao hurriedly pushed the door in, and said loudly, "Miss, they went out." ”

"Hmm." Xu Qinghe responded and continued to settle the account.

Xu Yao stood still next to the desk, and said while studying ink: "At the beginning, the master wanted to split the family, but the second master Xu refused to live or die, and he insisted on eating and drinking in the house for so many years, not dividing the five grains, not being diligent, eating, drinking, and gambling all day long. Miss couldn't bear to ask them to go out alone, and others couldn't say anything about Miss. ”

Xu Qinghe said indifferently: "What bother me to make excuses, others will say it if they want to say it." Since I was not happy to live in the same house with someone like my second uncle, I kicked him out. ”

Xu Yao said: "Miss is the master of the house, so naturally whoever she wants to let go, whoever wants to go." Ah Yao was just worried that Second Master Xu was smearing Miss's reputation outside. ”

"People like him, what he says is very true, everyone in Meizhou City knows it, how can he still discredit others." Xu Qinghe said disdainfully.

Xu Yao nodded and said no more.
