Li Liulang was relieved when he saw that Zhao Lao Lai was respected inside, "Uncle Zhao, we will never say it, if it leaks out, we will be thundered and killed." ”

"Yes, yes, let's just take a look, absolutely don't say it, Uncle Zhao, don't worry."

These people deserve to be deceived as if they were dead.

Seeing this, Zhao Laolai hesitated for a moment, couldn't bear the request of these people, and said angrily: "Then look at it, you can't gamble." Just watch me come, or I won't have the face to stay in Jixiang Town. ”

"Don't bet, don't bet." Everyone should get down, and follow Zhao Laolai with an excited face, and enter the cave arranged as a casino.

There was Zhao Laolai to stop him, and these people followed Zhao Laolai to watch the excitement.

The people here are masked, they don't know anyone, and they can only judge by their voices and clothes.

Zhao Laolai earned more than a dozen taels of silver in a short time, which was packed in his purse, making everyone believe that Zhao Laolai's gambling skills were really good.

Li Liulang took out two taels of silver and handed them to Zhao Lao Lai, "Uncle Zhao, these two taels of silver are for you, if you win, we will split it in half, and if you lose, it will be mine." ”

The others also hurried to pay for it, some gave one tael of silver, some gave two taels of silver, and three taels of silver.

Zhao Laolai couldn't refuse, and then took it.

Zhao Laolai glanced at Li Liulang and the others behind his back, and then began to gamble.

On the first hand, Zhao Lao Lai won, and the silver in his hand was directly doubled.

The second one, won again, and the money doubled again.

Li Liulang and the others in the back were shocked when they saw it, and their eyes became more and more excited.

The third hand lost, but only a third of the loss, which is still considered a win.

The fourth won again......

In this state, winning and losing, when the sky was slightly bright, and the casino closed, Zhao Laolai won a bag of silver and came out of the casino.

Before entering Jixiang Town, it was already dawn, and I opened my purse and divided the money on the side of the road.

The two taels of silver that Li Liulang invested before have now become twenty-two taels of silver, Li Liulang has received eleven taels of silver, and the others have also received more than five times the money.

These people's eyes were red.

Everyone looked at Zhao Laolai's purse, not only the money that Zhao Laolai earned himself, but also the dividends given to him by Li Liulang and others, which were hundreds of taels of silver.

If they had done it themselves, they would not have to give money to others.

Zhao Lao Lai explained, "Don't talk nonsense to the outside world, otherwise there will be a big mess." Go back for breakfast and get some sleep. You've seen the excitement, but you can't follow it at night! ”

Li Liulang and the others should go down, but they thought in their hearts that if they brought more money at night, they would be able to win more.

In this way, Li Liulang and others were lured by Zhao Laolai to gamble step by step. When others gamble, they could only watch the excitement, so after they learned some skills from Zhao Laolai, they began to gamble.

At first, they won a lot, which made these people feel that they were gambling badly, and they became more and more out of control.

Not only that, Li Liulang and others made a generous move, but also hired a carriage and followed Zhao Laolai to the county seat Qinglou to have a good time. I think it's a good day like this, and I am even more addicted to gambling.

Later, he lost more and won less, but he always wanted to turn the tables, so he took more silver from home and gambled.

Almost everyone is like this, it's just that they have entered someone else's game, addicted to it, and can't extricate themselves. is still dreaming of getting rich overnight and turning the tables against the wind.

More and more men in Lijia Village touched the family's money and came out to gamble.

The women of the family were afraid, but they were especially worried that the patrol in the town would find out about it, and the man who had captured them did not dare to say anything. I can wash my face with tears all day long, but externally, I have to greet him with a smile.

In this awkward atmosphere, Liu Paner and Li Yuanqing finally returned to Cuiyang County.

Old Madam Gu looked at Liu Pan'er reluctantly, "Pan'er, when the New Year is over, you must come to my house as a guest." ”

"Old lady, don't worry, I will definitely bring the child over." Liu Pan'er smiled, "Take care of your body and go home to rest." ”

Only then did Mrs. Gu let go of Liu Pan'er's hand, touched the children's little faces, got into the carriage, and looked back at home.

Liu Paner and Li Yuanqing stopped after passing by their own silk village.

Xiao Li's shopkeeper and Sanmao and Simao were very happy to see Liu Pan'er return.

Shopkeeper Xiao Li bowed his hand, "Madam General, it's great that you're back!" The Chinese New Year is still five days away, and we have already settled the accounts, just waiting to send them to the master's house! ”

Liu Pan'er nodded when she heard this, "You have worked hard, work for three more days, and close your business on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month." I will arrange the reward and bonus to reward you for your hard work in the past half a year! ”

Shopkeeper Xiao Li smiled, "This is what we should do!" ”

Liu Paner encouraged Sanmao and Simao again, praising them for growing a lot.

Not only that, but he also gave some of the things he brought back from the capital to Xiao Li's shopkeeper and three cents and four cents on the spot.

The three of them were grateful to Dade and kept thanking.

The family was like an arrow, so they left in a hurry after talking for a while.

Xiao Li's shopkeeper watched Liu Paner leave with a lot of emotion.

When he was excluded from Wang's Silk Village, Xiao Li's shopkeeper was depressed, and he couldn't find a suitable errand.

Fortunately, his uncle introduced him to this job, which was not only familiar to him and able to show what he had learned, but also brought him a good salary and reward.

The most important thing is that you don't have to fight to do things here, as long as you do a good job of business carefully, you can get the praise and recognition of the owner.

It is very easy for Xiao Li to do things here, and he is also more and more attentive to live up to Liu Paner's attention to him.

Halfway through, Zhou Laosan drove the family's carriage to buy goods.

Recently, the family's business is very good, and it is approaching the end of the year, and many people buy New Year's goods.

Zhou Laosan often came to the county seat to buy goods, and his father, Old Man Zhou, also explained.

If you meet Mrs. Derui and General Li Yuanqing in the county seat, give them the letter.

Zhou Laosan carefully asked his father what was going on, and Old Man Zhou felt that since he could tell his stepfamily, of course, he couldn't hide it from his son.

Originally, Old Man Zhou thought that he would have to go through the trouble to persuade his son, but he didn't expect Zhou Laosan to agree, and he didn't want to be threatened by Zhao Laolai all the time.

In the past few days, Zhou Laosan has been quiet, still buying goods as usual, and at the same time waiting for Liu Paner and Li Yuanqing.

Zhou Laosan saw the carriage behind him chasing after him and quickly stopped.

Liu Paner's carriage also stopped, and she learned from Sister Mao'er that it was Zhou Laosan outside.

Liu Paner opened the carriage curtain and looked at Zhou Laosan outside, "Business has been good lately?" ”

Zhou Laosan smiled, "Mrs. Todrui's blessing, the villagers of Jixiang Town and Jixiang Village, this year's harvest is very rich, and they often visit our shop, and they do make a lot of money." ”

Zhou Laosan kept blinking his eyes as he spoke.

Liu Paner was surprised, but didn't say anything.

Just as her carriage passed by Zhou Laosan's carriage, Zhou Laosan threw something at her carriage window and came in.

It is very hidden and cannot be detected by outsiders.
