As she spoke, she led Qin Yongzhan to a side door, the door was not big, but there was a hole inside.

A large crowd of people gathered around several tables, and the water around them was impassable, and one person in front of each table was a person dressed in festive clothes carrying a gong.

Whenever someone wins money, they knock on it, and the gong player in front of the first table knocks three times in a row with joy: "Congratulations to Qiao Gongzi for winning three thousand taels in this game just now!" ”

The loser was dejected, and Qiao Gongzi was congratulated around, and he arched his hand and said, "I invited the tea in this bureau today!" Hahaha. ”

Qin Yongzhan's eyes were hot when he watched from the side, he just looked, that person had only played for a quarter of an hour, and he had won a full three thousand taels!

He said to Zhu Niang anxiously: "How do you play this?" ”

Zhu Niang stretched her lips and smiled: "You need chips to play this, you can't give up the child and can't put the wolf on it, the son will come with me here, and I will take you over to redeem it." ”

The place to exchange chips is one hundred taels to exchange chips, Qin Yongzhan hesitated beside him, and Zhu Niang persuaded: "Son, it's better to exchange more, anyway, I'll be back later." ”

Qin Yongzhan was moved by her and exchanged another thousand taels of silver.

Zhu Niang smiled even brighter when she saw this, and let Qin Yongzhan put her arms around her waist and went to the gambling table.

——

Lee House.

At this time, the night was a little deep, and Li Baojia was already lying on the bed, but her eyes were still rolling, and she hadn't fallen asleep yet.

Xiao Tao sleeps in the side room, so that if she gets up in the middle of the night to take care of her, there is another person on duty outside.

Li Baojia got up with a bone, put his ear on the side of the door, and saw that there was no movement inside and out, so he tiptoed to open the crack in the door and slipped out.

There is a place in the courtyard to store water, which is used for the kitchen.

She snuck up to the kitchen, picked one of the large vats, picked up the scoop and filled it with a large scoop, gritted her teeth, and poured it on herself.

The water flowed down her head, and she was more than half wet in the silk undershirt she slept on, and although it was May, the temperature at night dropped quickly, and the breeze blew and made her feel cold.

She was afraid that the effect would not be enough, so she poured two large scoops in a row, and blew a cold wind in the courtyard for an hour before entering.

When she went in, she changed her clothes, wiped her head, and sneezed twice in a row before she fell asleep drowsily, wrapped in a quilt.

She thought to herself, "I hope it will work well tomorrow......

——

Day 2.

Xiao Tao woke up and asked the people to prepare water and face towels, and went to the inner room to tell Li Baojia to get up.

Li Baojia was still shrunk in the quilt at this time, rolling round into a ball, and Xiao Tao pushed her funny: "Miss, it's up." ”

"Hmm......"

Xiao Tao wanted to push her again, Li Baojia turned over, and Xiao Tao was startled.

She was sweating on her forehead, her whole face was flushed, her hair was sticking to her forehead, her eyes were closed, and she looked very sad.

Xiao Tao stretched out her hand to probe her forehead, it was so hot that she hurriedly shouted: "Come on, come on!" ”

A few girls outside the door hurriedly came in, and Xiao Tao hurriedly said, "Go and ask the doctor and Mrs. to come over!" Miss has a fever! ”

A few maids hurriedly ran out, Xiao Tao soaked the face towel next to her, and then twisted it and stuck it on Li Baojia's forehead, looking at her worriedly.

She really couldn't figure it out, she was fine last night, and this morning was like this?

She could never have imagined that the young lady who had fallen asleep early in her eyes yesterday went out by herself, drenched herself and blew the wind.

Li Baojia only feels in a trance now, and his eyes are dizzy and he can't see.

Mrs. Huang over there was also anxious when she heard the news, Li Wangde spent the night with her last night, and also heard this movement, he frowned: "Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, is she sick today?" ”

Mrs. Huang was anxious to see her, and Li Wangde did not go to court today, because she was worried about the situation of the Lantern Festival tomorrow, so she also went.

The two of them stepped into Li Baojia's small courtyard together, the doctor was already seeing her, and the doctor touched his beard: "Miss is infected with wind cold, take two medicines to get rid of wind cold, just take care of it for a few days." ”

Li Wangde said: "Can it affect tomorrow's Lantern Festival travel? ”

Mrs. Huang wiped her tears next to her: "Then what is the Laozi Lantern Festival, if you don't go, you won't go, is it important to have Jia'er's body?" ”

The Lantern Festival is indeed a very important festival for unmarried daughters, but there are many activities to be held, and it is really tiring.

The doctor thought about it for a while and said, "Don't do too intense activities, don't blow the wind, it's okay." ”

Li Wangde was relieved, and the doctor prescribed medicine to facilitate his retreat.

Although Li Baojia is uncomfortable at the moment, she has not forgotten today's business.

She looked uncomfortable and pulled her clothes, blushing and angry: "Father......"

Mrs. Huang hurriedly came over to hold her hand, and Li Wangde also looked over.

"I saw a good, big fire in the green building...... I also saw a lot of silver, and many people took weapons into the house of Yushi next door, which was really, really terrible. ”

Mrs. Huang wiped the sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief: "Why is this kid talking nonsense." ”

Li Wangde didn't take this seriously.

Li Baojia spoke intermittently: "I also saw that the second uncle also had an accident...... Our family is the same as the family of the Imperial Historian...... I'm so scared. ”

Li Wangde heard this: "Don't think nonsense, this kind of thing is impossible, recuperate with peace of mind, and you can't be absent tomorrow." ”

After saying that, he strode away.

He came and left quickly, but Li Baojia was relieved, she knew that her goal had been achieved.

In order not to disturb her sleep, Mrs. Huang told Xiao Tao to take care of her, and quietly withdrew.

Li Baojia fell asleep again, and before she completely lost consciousness, she thought with some chagrin: It seems that she has completely overestimated her physique, and her body is so bad, which is much more serious than she thought......

And just when Li Baojia was groggy, the gambling house in Yixian Juli had just entered the white-hot stage.

At this time, Qin Yongzhan was already red-eyed, the silver ticket on his body had been lost, and his pressure was getting bigger and bigger, and he even pulled his hair irritably.

The gambling house was sealed with a black cloth and the inside was airtight, and only a few candles were lit, which also caused the gamblers inside to be completely unable to distinguish between day and night, forgetting the time, and only immersed in this side of the table.

Because the airtightness is too strong, it is a little stuffy inside, and many people are sweating, but they are still excited, and Qin Yongzhan is even more so, he has just lost all his belongings, and he just wants to win them all back at this time.

His eyes were bloodshot: "Come again!" ”

Zhu Niang told him regretfully: "Master Qin, you have no chips again." ”

Qin Yongzhan was stunned: "How could it be that there is no more?" I just got fifty chips on credit! Then continue on credit! ”

Zhu Niang said: "But...... You've taken a lot of credit...... It stands to reason that you can't ...... credit anymore."

Before he could reply, she changed her tone again: "But...... You are the only son of the Qin family, and the Qin family's is yours, and you can also use it to exchange for chips. For example, houses, shops, and even maids sell their deeds......"

Qin Yongzhan held the dice tightly with both hands: "Then change!" Give me another 500 chips! ”

Qin Niang turned around with a smile and said, "Get another five hundred chips for Qin Gongzi, and then bring the drawing paper." ”
