112 Gambling

For several days after that, Mu Qing was in a state of depression, and even the news from Zhou Yuanqing that he could help her get another batch of glass bottles didn't make her feel better.

"What's wrong? Still thinking about Noble Treasure? Do you want me to go to the Bai family to help you take a look? Early in the morning, after Mu Qing finished studying with Dr. Xie, she lay listlessly on the table. Seeing this, Dr. Xie asked with concern.

"Thank you, but no. I'll talk about it later, maybe I'll really have to get used to this kind of day when I don't see him. Mu Qing said weakly. She knew clearly in her heart that Tian Laibao had nothing to do with her, and the Tian family's approach was understandable. Thinking about it from another angle, when she stands in the perspective of the Tian family, she will do the same. Now it's just a reversal of roles.

Dr. Xie looked at her listlessly, and finally felt a little unbearable. After breakfast that day, he instructed Xiao Wu to make some preparations, and when Xiao Wu came back, he brought an invitation to the Bai family.

"Oh, this is the Bai family's post, you will go with me tomorrow." Early the next morning, when Mu Qing came to class, Dr. Xie took out the Bai family's post from his sleeve and handed it to her.

The Bai family's post was written on fine gold-painted paper, and there was a smell of ink on the paper. It reads uprightly: "Please ask Dr. Xie to enter the house at noon tomorrow." At the end, a square private seal was also stamped. Mu Qing looked at it for a long time and didn't see what the words were.

The thing that I had been thinking about for so long came true all of a sudden, and Mu Qing couldn't believe it when she held the post.

"Is this true? Is it really the Bai family's post? Can I really go to the Bai family with you tomorrow? Mu Qing blinked his eyes and asked in a loud voice.

"Of course it's true, my old man can't lie to you." Doctor Xie's eyes widened, and he said angrily.

"I'm not excited, I can't believe it. Dr. Xie, thank you so much! Mu Qing took the post, put the baby on her chest, and gave a big salute to Dr. Xie.

"Okay, it's not a big deal. But I still advise you, Mu Qing, that child is not your own after all. The Tian family's current approach is understandable. As the saying goes, long pain is better than short pain, and while the child is still young, you should make a decision early. Dr. Xie said with his hands behind his back and in a serious voice.

"Yes, I know in my heart." Mu Qing nodded. I know that Dr. Xie is all for his own sake. But Noble was the first person she met to show kindness to her after coming to this strange world, and he had a very special place in his heart. For a while, she really couldn't let go.

Looking at the expression on Mu Qing's face, Dr. Xie also knew that she would not be able to put down the treasure for a while. I could only sigh in my heart. But then again, if this child hadn't been so affectionate, he probably wouldn't have taken care of her like this. So everything has two sides.

With the Bai family's post in her arms, Mu Qing happily left the pharmacy and went to the street to buy gifts for Noble tomorrow. I haven't seen the little guy for a few days.,I was going to let him taste the monkey last time.,But I didn't taste it.,And I got lost.。 Now that the monkey season has passed, if you want to eat it, you will have to wait until next year.

Thinking of that time of getting lost, Mu Qing remembered the Li family who helped her.

Since returning to Tianshui Town, she has been busy with the canning business, but she has left her previous thoughts behind. Now that I think about it, I'm going to take a trip. Mu Qing simply bought a thank you gift for the Li family when he bought something for Noble.

After wandering around for a day, it was not until the sky began to darken that Mu Qing returned to his residence.

It was the turn of day and night, and the pedestrians on the street were almost all hurrying home. Mu Qing was wandering slowly, while scanning the surroundings with her eyes. A long green brick path paved to the end of the alley, and then disappeared around the bend. On both sides of the alley, from time to time, you can hear the voices of parents scolding their children, as well as the screams of naughty children, echoing in the alleys alternately, composing a song of daily life.

"Sister-in-law......" walked to the door, and Mu Qing suddenly saw Tian Jizu waiting at the door in a blue cloth robe. Seeing her coming, Tian Jizu, who was originally leaning on the wall, immediately stood up straight and shouted.

Mu Qing's face turned cold, and she choked: "I'm afraid this son has recognized the wrong person, right?" I haven't gotten married yet, so where did I get my brother-in-law? I'm afraid this son really recognized the wrong person. ”

Saying this, Mu Qing actually has some gambling elements in it. With the identity of a widow, she doesn't have to think about getting married, but the Tian family has that attitude now, and it is obvious that she is telling others that she Mu Qing has nothing to do with the Tian family. When she is sixteen years old, if she does not have a partner to marry, she will be forced to marry by the government.

But as soon as this angry words came out, she actually regretted it a little. She really can't be angry with Tian Jizu, and it's useless to be angry with him. In the Tian family, Tian Jizu's speech is the most weightless, and his duty is to study hard and earn a show before coming back. The big and small things in the family, which are not arranged by Chen himself. Even if Tian Jizu was moved by her today, it would be in vain.

Thinking like this, Mu Qing suddenly looked pity, and he didn't even want to do the superficial effort of greeting Tian Jizu.

Although Tian Jizu has been studying in the school, he is not a nerd, on the contrary, he is a little shrewd, and he still has the ability to observe words and feelings. So as soon as he saw Mu Qing's face change, he was thinking about what to say in his heart.

Chen and Tian Xiaozhi were afraid that it would affect his preparation for Qiu Yu, so they didn't tell him about Mu Qing at all. That's why he came to Mu Qing today. In Tian Jizu's opinion, Mu Qing is a little girl in the end, there are not so many twists and turns in her heart, and her mind is still simple. As long as he talks to her alive today, and then puts on a pitiful posture at the right time, Mu Qing will definitely agree to his request.

Tian Jizu calculated clearly, but he forgot that Mu Qing was not from the Tian family at all. In addition, he didn't think about how Mu Qing's little girl's family could live alone in the town. Chen and Noble both live in the Bai family, why would she live alone? These are all questions that Tian Jizu has not thought about.

"How much do you want to borrow?" Mu Qing directly exploded his purpose at once. Tian Jizu is shrewd, but Mu Qing is not a fool. When he was in Tianjia Village, there was very little communication with Mu Qing, so there was nothing to talk about. Now that he can find it cheekily, Mu Qing can't think of any other reason than borrowing money. Oh, no, it's nice to say that borrowing, and he's probably the kind of person who won't pay it back after borrowing.

However, since Tian Jizu didn't go to Chen's side to get the money, but instead went around to her to borrow money, Mu Qing wanted to understand the deep meaning behind this.

There is only one academy in Tianshui Town, and the owner of the museum is a showman, but in this life, it is only a showman. Nearly 20 years have passed since he was admitted to Xiucai, and he is still a Xiucai. Now even his son has already won the fame of Xiucai, so this year he simply announced that he would give up Dabi.

The management of this academy is not very strict, because most of the students of the academy are from Tianshui Town, and they come and go every day, and the gatehouse is also sparse. As a result, there were students who did not want to make progress and brought the habit of gambling to the academy. They even took advantage of the lax management of the academy to smuggle people from outside into the academy to gamble. Tian Jizu lost all the money on his body when he was gambling with those people, and he also owed five taels of silver in gambling debts.

But Tian Jizu won't tell Mu Qing about this. The reason he thought of was that he had to go to other places to catch the exam, which required five taels of silver for the travel expenses, as well as expenses along the way.

"It's not borrowing, it's just trying to turn hands with you. I'll go to Xiaozhi and turn it around to you in two days. The college wanted to organize a mock exam before the autumn season, so it needed to buy a set of equipment. In addition, the test will be held in a different place, so you will need to prepare some things for the road. I'll turn five taels first, and if it's not enough, I'll think of other ways. Although Mu Qing and Tian Jizu both knew that there was no return to this money, Tian Jizu's words were still leaky.

If it weren't for the wrong timing, Mu Qing would have liked to suggest that this person go to the film and television industry to develop, his acting skills are definitely leveraged, his face is not red and his heart does not beat when he lies, and his eyes do not blink.

In the past two days, Mu Qing has sold glass cans, and Mu Qing has indeed shared some money. But she is ready to continue to invest that money, of course, it is impossible for Tian Jizu to use it. Therefore, Mu Qing drew his previous account book in his heart before he said to Tian Jizu: "I don't have that much, only three taels at most." I can give you these three taels of silver for free, but I have the conditions. ”

Speaking of this, Mu Qing paused deliberately, then looked at Tian Jizu and said word by word: "You have to tell me the real purpose of your loan!" Mu Qing was a little frightened that Tian Jizu would ask for five taels of silver as soon as he exited.

In this era, the living expenses of an ordinary person for a year are only one or two halves of silver. Tian Jizu's mouth is five taels of silver, which is a year's ration for an ordinary family. Even five taels can buy a medium-sized field in Tianjia Village.

Mu Qing was fiddling with the abacus in her heart, and at the same time she paid attention to Tian Jizu's expression. Sure enough, after hearing the conditions he proposed, Tian Jizu fell silent. He hung his head slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

At this moment, Mu Qing sensitively noticed a beam of eyes staring at her. She looked around, and the alley was the same as before, the children running around, the parents' scolding, everything seemed normal. Mu Qing frowned, could it be that she was too sensitive? shook his head, put the thought he had just thought behind for the time being, and looked at Tian Jizu intently, waiting for his explanation.

"I can tell you the truth, but I can only tell you the truth. If this news leaks out in the future, I will settle accounts with you. Tian Shunsheng thought for a long time, and the sky completely darkened in his silent thoughts. Mu Qing turned around and returned to the house, lit a lamp, and stood at the gate with his hand, without the slightest intention of inviting Tian Shunsheng to go in and do something.

Hearing Tian Shunsheng's conditions, Mu Qing raised her eyebrows and sneered mercilessly: "Have you forgotten that you are asking me now?" I don't agree to your conditions. I can promise that I won't tell anyone, but I can't guarantee that anyone else knows about it. After all, the mouth grows on the body of the others, and I can't sew them up one by one so that they don't speak. ”

"Okay, you can promise that you don't say it, and if the news comes out from other people, I won't trouble you." Tian Shunsheng was frightened by Mu Qing's weird appearance of yin and yang, and paused for a while before continuing.

"Yes." Mu Qing nodded, took out a purse embroidered with lotus flowers from the sleeve cage, deliberately tossed it in front of Tian Jizu, and then withdrew it back into the sleeve cage, raised his eyebrows at Tian Jizu, signaling that he could start.

After clearing his throat, Tian Jizu picked out the words that were beneficial to him and roughly explained the gambling matter. In his account, he was a complete fool who was ganged up, and the man threatened him with gambling, claiming that if he didn't take the money, he would tell the academy about it and let the academy sweep him away.

And he was controlled by others, and he had no choice but to admit it. He didn't dare to go to Chen's side, so he thought of coming to her to borrow money.

In this way, Mu Qing had a general understanding of the situation in the academy. Oh, what a formal academy she was, and it turned out to be more than that. It's no wonder that few people have passed the test, with such a learning atmosphere, it is a miracle to be able to do well in the exam.

Even with Tian Jizu's autumn this time, Mu Qing didn't want to pay attention to it. It's a shame that Tian Xiaozhi has been waiting for Tian Jizu to fight for her, but it turned out to be embarrassing. I don't know if Tian Xiaozhi knew that the academy he worked so hard to send people into was actually a place for people to gamble, should he regret dying? Mu Qing thought silently in her heart.

No matter what Tian Xiaozhi thought in her heart, this matter would not come out of Mu Qing's mouth anyway. As for when she Tian Xiaozhi will find out about this, that's her own business.

Mu Qing raised his hand and threw the purse containing three taels of broken silver into Tian Jizu's arms.

Tian Jizu took the money, the sadness on his face disappeared immediately, and he smiled and gave Mu Qing a look, and bowed his hand: "Thank you, sister-in-law." Another day, when I am free, my sister-in-law can take Noble to play in the academy. ”

Mu Qing is also hehe, your family has cut off relations with me, I want to see Noble because of the blessing of Dr. Xie, and you are still talking about something there, which is really infuriating.
