At this time, he found out that his grandmother was dressed very plainly today, and after the days were good, she couldn't wait to dress up herself to be rich and noble, and the gold and silver jewelry was worn on her body in a different way, and she couldn't wait to put a big gold ingot on her head directly.

But today he didn't even wear a silver hairpin or silver earrings.

"Mother!"

Seeing that Sun Zhigao was angry, his grandmother knew that she couldn't hide, so she could only honestly explain:

In the past few days, I was shopping in those shops in the city of Tokyo, and my grandmother met a woman by chance.

Hearing her grandmother's native voice, the woman took the initiative to come up and talk, and when her grandmother saw that she was dressed gorgeously and wearing a silk satin, she was not very vigilant.

After talking, I realized that the two were fellow villagers, and even from the next village, the woman was sold as a slave because of her family's poverty, but she was lucky enough to please her master, and finally she was even favored by a son and brother and accepted as a concubine.

The woman said that although life was good in Tokyo, she was far away from her hometown and homesickness, and she was very happy to meet her grandmother here, so she took the initiative to set up a banquet to invite her grandmother.

He also gave his grandmother a lot of gifts, including many precious jewelry.

Seeing her generosity, her grandmother became greedy and took the initiative to talk to her.

Later, the woman mentioned that there was an interesting and interesting place and said that she would take her to a long time.

Curious, she followed, and when she did, she realized that it was a place to play with something called a horse crane.

The women who beat the horses and hung them, so the grandmother was not so vigilant, at first she just stood by and watched, but watching the women beat out the small wooden signs, it didn't take long to win a small mountain of broken silver.

The grandmother's eyes were hot, and her heart was even hotter, and she ended up under the persuasion of the woman.

"In the first few rounds, I had a good hand and played frequently, and it didn't take long for me to earn more than 100 taels. But then the luck was slowly worse, and even lost a few big handfuls of silver, and the winning silver was lost back, and a lot of it was pasted upside down.

I wanted to stop at the time, but I was just thinking about earning back the money I had just lost. Now that I think about it, I must be stunned! The grandmother burst into tears, and the thought of the lost gold and silver made her cry even louder.

It's so distressing!

"And what about later? How much did you actually lose? Sun Zhigao asked with red eyes, and there was still a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Maybe not much to lose?

But his grandmother's answer completely crushed him.

All the cash that had been left with the grandmother, the gold and silver jewellery that she had brought with her, and the gifts that the woman had given her, were gone.

Lost a fine light.

Now my grandmother doesn't have a copper plate in her pocket!

"Hahaha!" Sun Zhigao looked up and smiled like crazy, so calculating, so calculating, now they don't talk about the cost of the journey back to Youyang, and they don't even have the money to stay and sleep tonight.

As soon as he thought that he took the initiative to write in the book of harmony and leave, and returned the dowry brought by Sheng Shulan and the rest of the assets given by the Sheng family, he felt that he was a clown.

In the eyes of others, he is a complete fool!

There is nothing left, and it is completely beaten back to its original shape.

The people are gone, and the money is gone.

Until he was driven out of the door by the inn's junior second, Sun Zhigao's laughter did not stop, in the panic of his grandmother, in the strange eyes of passers-by, the bleak laughter diffused in the air, torn into pieces by the wind, and finally disappeared without a trace.

......

"So, wouldn't their mother and son be on the streets?"

Sheng Mansion Garden.

is still that pavilion, He Tian is telling a story, the protagonist of the story is naturally Sun Zhigao, and the audience is Rulan and Minglan who are sitting opposite him.

Next to the path more than a dozen steps away from the pavilion, Ah Da was also doing the same thing as He Tian, but the audience was replaced by Dan Tang and Xiao Tao.

He Tian nodded, reached out and took a red cherry handed by Rulan and put it in his mouth, spit the core on the handkerchief, took the tea soup made by Minglan and took a sip, his face was pleasant.

"Brother Gongjin, this fruit is sweet, you eat more." Rulan pinched the cherry with her tender white jade fingers and handed it over, and after He Tian took it, she put her hands on her cheeks and continued to ask: "But why is Sun Xiucai so stupid, won't he go outside to inquire?" Find a local person on the street and ask them, and you know the past of Pingyang Bofu. ”

He Tian didn't answer Rulan's cutie, tilted her head to look at Minglan and said in a tone of school examination: "Minglan you talk about it, why is this?" ”

Minglan subconsciously wanted to shake her head, hiding clumsiness was already her instinct, but just as she was about to shake her head, her little head was held down by a hand, and He Tian's smiling voice sounded in her ears: "In the past, you only had one grandmother and a little lady in this mansion to protect you, speak and act cautiously, and follow the rules, for fear that if you make a little mistake, you will cause trouble for yourself, your grandmother and your little girl. ”

Minglan raised her head, staring at He Tian with a pair of bright big eyes under her curved eyelashes, motionless.

He Tian's hand went down, his fingertips brushed her cheek down, and he held her small hand on the table: "But let these all stay in the past." Don't forget that you and I have made a marriage, and I will protect you in the days to come, those cautious words and deeds, those cautious, will not be needed in front of me. I'm not afraid of trouble, and you won't be my trouble. ”

Minglan was stunned.

Rulan, who was sitting on the same side, was a little surprised, but He Tian's other hand grabbed her little hand: "Besides, there is your fifth sister, she will also protect you." She is a big lady, the master of the backyard, in the backyard to say one is one, say two is two, with her to protect you, what are you afraid of. ”

When Rulan was said like this, most of the jealousy in her heart disappeared, and at this moment, the sympathy that was suppressed by vinegar rose, and she almost patted her chest and said to Minglan with her chest: "That's it." Sixth sister, there is Brother Gongjin in the front yard, and I in the backyard, don't be afraid! ”

Minglan snorted and laughed, this warm word came out of Rulan's mouth and looked a little cute and cute, and with Rulan's little expression of "I will cover you in the future" at the moment, it looked a little funny.

Living treasure.

"Sixth sister, what are you laughing at? I'm serious! Rulan Xiaohuobao was dissatisfied, thinking that Minglan didn't believe what she said.

"The fifth sister is a promise, of course I don't believe what she says. I was so happy that I laughed. Of course, Minglan couldn't tell her the real reason, she had the picture in her mind that after telling the truth, Rulan pounced on her with her teeth and claws.

But it was not false, for she did feel joy in it, and it gushed out from her heart.

Feeling the strength and temperature of the hand holding her, Minglan took a deep breath, looked at He Tian and smiled: "Then I... Try? ”

He Tian's eyes were encouraging, and he responded with a firm nod.
