Although the bean seed red jade is not worth much silver, but the blue water jadeite with the size of a bowl is very precious, some of the guests who come to gamble on the stone are in the jade business, and most of them are willing to buy this piece of blue water.

He has gambled on stones for so many years, and his family is about to be ruined, and the only remaining ten taels of silver are earned by his mother doing embroidery work in the morning and dark, if it weren't for the best jade today, Lu Ren didn't know what face he had to face his family.

After opening the blue water, the gambling stone workshop opened a piece of spring ribbon color, a piece of yellow jade, although the size is not too obvious, but the water is good, both are very clear ice species, even if it is not as precious as this piece of blue water, but it is not bad. The shopkeeper in the shop saw that it was almost time, so he sent his men to trot to the Chen family restaurant opposite, and told Pan'er all the news in the shop.

"There's even a piece of blue water, but it came out of the five taels?"

The young and honest face of the guy showed a hint of surprise that could not be concealed, he thought at first that his wife was so young, and he must not have much experience in the gambling industry, and last night they bothered to put the wool separately, but it was just nonsense, but at this moment hearing Pan'er's words, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, if he didn't know that Mrs. was not there at all just now, the guy would probably think that she personally saw the scene of Lu Ren selecting wool, and would guess so accurately.

Pan'er didn't sweep the surprise on the guy's face, but only listened to him:

"Indeed, as Mrs. said, the two pieces of wool that the scholar surnamed Lu bought were five taels of silver, one for beans and one for glass, and according to Master Li, it is estimated that they are worth at least seven hundred taels of silver."

Luan Yu stood beside him, seeing that the delicate white porcelain bowl was empty, he hurriedly picked up the porcelain pot and poured a bowl of red cherry juice.

Unfortunately, the weather is getting warmer, and the juiced black pearls are already the last batch, and although the flesh is tender and refreshing, it is not as good as the taste before the month, so most of them are made into cherry juice, so it will be stored for a longer time.

Seeing that it was not early, Pan'er did not stay in the Chen family restaurant after drinking the cherry juice, and as soon as she walked out of the private room, she saw a familiar figure on the opposite side, who else could there be in Ningchuan.

The man's handsome face was full of smiles, Ning Chuan arched his hand slightly, and made a gesture at Pan'er:

"Madame is polite."

Anyway, he is his savior, even if Chu Liang mentioned his face before, let Pan'er stay away from Ningchuan, but at this moment, this person is standing in front of her, and she is not rude.

I saw the little woman pursing her lips and chuckling, her voice was delicate and sweet, and her little mouth seemed to be smeared with honey: "It's a coincidence today, I didn't expect to see Ning Gongzi in Chen's restaurant." ”

Ning Chuan had a decent smile on his face, his eyes fell on Pan'er, and he almost exhausted all the self-control in his body, so he didn't lose his temper. Ning Chuan is the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion, even if Prime Minister Ning Cheng favors his concubine and kills his wife, he doesn't value this concubine, but it is not difficult for Ning Chuan to find out Pan'er's identity.

He knew very well in his heart that the Rong'an Fang in Beijing, the Chenjia Restaurant, and the gambling stone shop opposite were all properties under Pan'er.

Recently, Ning Chuan has come to the restaurant every day, just to meet Pan'er, but unfortunately he was unlucky, he came for a few months, and he only met the main owner for the first time today.

Pan'er and Ning Chuan's skin looks very good, and the two of them are not dressed like ordinary people, standing at the staircase on the second floor at this moment, naturally many people are focusing on them.

I saw that the little woman's white cheeks revealed a faint pink halo like peach blossoms, her eyebrows and eyes were exquisite, even if she was already the mother of two children, her face still had a little bit of delicate and difficult to hide, compared to the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, plus Pan'er's plump body and slender waist, the whole person seemed to come down from the lady's picture, beautiful and delicate.

Most men don't usually see a woman with such beautiful skin, but now they finally see it, and their eyes are like sticking to Pan'er, looking at her face and figure wantonly.

Pan'er is not a young and tender little girl after all, she is stared at at at this moment, although her heart is not very comfortable, but her face will not be revealed, but Ning Chuan's eyes are much darker, as if she has been dyed with ink.

Originally, Ning Chuan had an elegant bookish anger on his body, coupled with that handsome face, which made people feel good, but at this moment, even if the man's expression did not change in the slightest, Pan'er still felt a little angry from him, she felt a little strange in her heart, her ruddy lips pursed, turned her head and pretended to look out the window, and said softly: "The hour is not early, and the little woman will leave first." ”

After speaking, Pan'er blessed, turned around and walked down the stairs directly.

Gambling in the Stone Workshop.

Master Li has been calculating stones for many years, and he has handled many jadeites of excellent quality, as he guessed, the blue water and the red jade were added together, and they were sold for seven hundred taels of silver.

Because these two pieces of jadeite were all sold in the gambling stone workshop, they had to pay a commission of seventy taels, Lu Ren himself was the kind of lavish character, and he didn't count the money at all, so he took the remaining six hundred and thirty taels and went home directly.

Lu Ren's daughter-in-law, Zhang, is a thoughtful woman, she groped a few times in the clay pot at home, and found that the ten taels of silver hidden were missing, and then think about Lu Ren's face full of shame before going out, the blood on Zhang's face faded, and there was not even a little heat on her body.

The daughter who was just about to walk stumbled out of the back room, hugged Zhang's legs, and said in a milky voice: "Mother, you are hungry." ”

Zhang's eyes were red, and a wave of despair surged in his heart.

Lu's mother, who was sitting in the courtyard to enjoy the shade, heard the voice of Nannan, and her thin and sallow face showed obvious disgust: "A money-losing goods, still shouting that he is hungry every day, and his face is really thick!" ”

The two-year-old child, naturally less courageous, hid behind Zhang's body, the thin body without two taels of flesh trembled slightly, that pitiful appearance made Zhang's extremely uncomfortable, as if countless needles as thin as cow's hair pierced her heart.

"Mother-in-law, all the money in the family has been taken away by Xianggong, and there is no rice to put in the pot now......"

As soon as Lu Mu heard this, she stood up from the rattan chair with a thud, pointed at Zhang's nose, and scolded and said, "You said that my son took the silver, I think you spent all the money, right?" Now that I have put a basin on my son's head and married a useless woman like you, our Lu family is really unlucky! ”

Scolded with her bare mouth, Lu Mu was still angry, she stood in front of Zhang's and slapped it hard, turning the woman's sallow skin red, and the bright slap prints hung on her face, swollen and high.

At the beginning, Lu's mother didn't want her son to marry the Zhang family, the Zhang family was poor, and the poor Zhang family couldn't open the pot, her father of the tuberculosis ghost, the whole person was like a medicine jar, and the money spent every day was like running water, and the family was wiped out.

After marrying into the Lu family for four years, the Zhang family suffered a lot of grievances, but for the sake of Nannan, she endured it all, and now the family even took away the money to buy food, what else does she have to live with her children?

Zhang's face was full of tears, he held the fluttering child in his arms, stretched out his hand to wipe his face, and staggered out.

Lu's mother squinted at Zhang's family, and she really didn't believe that her cowardly daughter-in-law had the courage to leave the Lu family.

Sitting back on the rattan chair, Lu's mother sucked the big leaf tea, closed her eyes and hummed a little tune, how comfortable it was, the Lu family only had two mothers and sons, Lu Ren was a scholar, Lu's mother was old and old, and she had no skills, and the whole family was supported by the money earned by Zhang's embroidery work.

Lu Ren returned home with a few hundred taels of silver, and when he saw Lu's mother in the courtyard, he asked, "Mother, where is Yu Niang?" ”

"Who knows where that money-losing thing went? Maybe it's hooking up with other men, but I don't think that kind of woman is a good thing......"

For Lu's mother's words, Lu Ren didn't go to his heart, in the past few years of marriage, no one knows better than Lu Ren what kind of character Zhang's character is, gentle and kind, even if he is greatly wronged, he will not complain, and he can make a good embroidery, Lu Ren is still quite satisfied with this wife in his heart.

After looking back and forth in the courtyard, Lu Ren didn't find Zhang's and Nannan, he frowned tightly, thinking about going to Zhang's house to look for it again, but with so much silver in his arms, Lu Ren couldn't rest assured, so he handed the silver to Lu's mother.

Lu's mother has lived for more than 40 years, and this is the first time she has seen so much money, because of her excitement, her whole face has turned the color of pig liver, her breathing has become more and more rapid, and her shriveled chest is like a worn bellows, rising and falling constantly.

"Son, where did you get all that money?"

"My son took ten taels of silver today, went to the newly opened gambling stone workshop, God favored, a piece of blue water jade and a piece of red jade were opened in the wool, and a total of seven hundred taels of silver were sold, and the gambling stone workshop took seventy taels by itself, and there are still these."

Telling Mother Lu to put away the silver ticket, Lu Ren said, "Mother, I'll go and bring the Zhang family back first." ”

"What are you going to do to pick them up? Two money-losing goods, the Zhang family has been married to our family for several years, and they can't even give birth to a son, we now have so much money, so we simply divorce the Zhang family. ”

Lu Ren shook his head, got up and went out the door, and hurried in the direction of Zhang's house.
