Chapter 8: Heading to the Gambling House
After hearing this, Lan Chen was stunned.
is not only Sun Miaomiao's generosity, but also because of the kindness and concern in her tone.
This kind of secret investigation is nothing more than ulterior motives and threats, but Sun Miaomiao doesn't feel like this.
Although these three or seven are divided, it also ensures that Tingyu Pavilion can get more long-term benefits.
But this thousand taels really solved Lan Chen's urgent need.
Originally, through the 'lie', I still wanted to bargain for a book sold for fifty taels, but I didn't think about it......
I saw that Lan Chen smiled embarrassedly, "Forgive me, I just lied, in fact, no library looked for me yesterday." ”
"It's only a matter of time, and I want to ask your pardon for my nosy. From the moment you kicked out the book overnight, I had a faint feeling that something was wrong. That's why I inquired. Think of it as the recklessness of me, a talented person.
"But don't worry, although I love books and cherish talents, this is also the result of my discussion with the shopkeeper. What's more, it's still three or seven points of profit, and it still sounds like Yuge has made money. ”
Sun Miaomiao smiled and said sincerely, "Just make a friend, although I am not a Heavenly Court rescuer, but you are a great sage in trouble, I also have to help, right?" ”
"Hahaha! Yes, I don't thank you for my great kindness, and when the Lan Mansion has taken a breath, I will come to the door again to thank you. ”
"That's what I said, you are so healthy and recuperating, don't bend your waist for five buckets of rice, write the words in your stomach into ink, and I will be satisfied."
After that, Sun Miaomiao glanced at the five scripts on the table.
The feeling of anticipation is expressed on the surface.
If Lan Chen wasn't still here, she wouldn't have taken a copy and feasted her eyes.
"Looks like they're still eyeing my ink after all. Hahaha. This urgent need is solved, and the next step is to revive the Blue Mansion, but don't worry, you can still see more novelty books. ”
"Then I'm looking forward to it, even if it's ......" Sun Miaomiao smiled, "Even if I don't cooperate with Tingyu Pavilion in the future, I hope I can read the new work as soon as possible." If you keep this 1,000 taels of silver tickets, all the major banks in the city can exchange them. When these five scripts are printed, I will have someone send them to the house, how about it? ”
"Then there will be labor." Lan Chen bowed slightly, took the silver ticket, and at the same time did not forget to quip, "Then I will retire first, it seems that Miss Sun is planning to forget to sleep and eat for a few days." ”
"It's up to you. If you have such a good book, you must read it overnight. Sun Miaomiao pouted angrily, as if to drive Lan Chen away, she directly picked up the script and flipped through it.
Her act of reading the book made Lan Chen frown, and then she asked, "Ask you something, when you read a book or look at other items, do you always feel blurry and a little overlapping?" You can only see things when you get closer. ”
"yes, I don't know what's wrong with my eyes."
"That's probably short-sighted."
"Myopia?"
"It's okay, it's okay, just pay more attention to rest, I'll retire first"
"Yes, I won't send it."
Looking at Lan Chen's departing back, Sun Miaomiao couldn't help muttering, "What's all the fuss, how many people are like this." Forget it, regardless of him, I'll take a look at the script, this one is....... Golden Plum? What's going on? ”
At this time, Sun Miaomiao would never have thought that she was about to open the door to a new world.
Of course, in order to be released smoothly, Lan Chen was already very restrained when retelling 'Golden Vase Plum', but the content here is really a bit ...... for a young lady
Lan Chen didn't notice this, what he was thinking in his heart was...... How to toss out a pair of glasses.
Myopia is a 'noble disease' in this era, if you can make a pair of glasses, it will definitely sell at a sky-high price, and you can also repay Sun Miaomiao's favor by the way.
With such thoughts, Lan Chen came to a place.
At a glance, the word gambling house is like opening a bloody mouth, and the slightest accident will be swallowed by it.
"The gambling house, the gambling house, the family has a lot of money, and it is here that it is lost. Heh......."
At the door, two strong men stopped Lan Chen, first glanced at him with disdain, and then scolded condescendingly, "Isn't this Lan Gongzi?" This family has lost everything, and what are you going to do! ”
"What? Can't even get in? Lan Chen sneered. Don't hurry up and make way for Lord Ben, I'm going to see you Master Chen!" ”
The two strong men were stunned, not seeing each other for a day as if they were every other autumn?
Lan Chen, who hasn't seen him for a long time, how does he feel like he's changed?
"Hmph, everyone who comes is a guest, please come inside!"
The servants of the Lin Mansion happened to pass by, and when they caught a glimpse of Lan Chen, their faces were shocked, and their eyes were even more sparkling.
"Okay, you Lan Chen, the second lady remembered that Lin and Lan were world friends, so she ransomed you, but I didn't expect to fall into the gambling house again! No, I have to go back and tell the second lady! ”
As soon as he entered, Lan Chen only felt a miasma of black smoke and disliked.
I really don't know what the people here have to make a fuss about.
After a while, he found that there were several pillars of sight in the gambling house, firmly locking himself, looking up and down, so uncomfortable.
At the end, he found a figure and immediately leaned forward, "Hey, Chen Qing." ”
As soon as Chen Qing turned his head, he happened to see Lan Chen's raised hand, and he was so frightened that he retreated again and again, he was terrified and said, "Lan Chen!?" This is a gambling house, don't mess around! ”
"Heh, didn't you mess around at the beginning."
"You can hurt me now than you used to, but so what? Can you get out of here safely? Chen Qing, who calmed down, realized that he was on his own turf and there was no need to panic.
"What? Lan Dagongzi, you are elegant today, and you want to gamble? ”
"The deed has been offended, but what else can you pay? Your maid looks good, if you want to, hehe......"
Lan Chen subconsciously clenched his fists and said slowly, "People say that dogs can't spit out ivory, if you can't speak, go back and let your master teach you." Who said I came to gamble, I came to pay the arrears. ”
"Arrears? One thousand taels!? Chen Qing's eyes widened, a little incredulous. In just a few days, you've got enough? ”
"Well, the deed, and the IOU are brought, and the two offset each other, and they don't owe each other!"
"Uh...... Well, wait a minute, the IOU is with my master, I'll go and ask him. ”
After that, Chen Qing ran away in a panic, like that, as if he had lost his soul and lost his soul.
After a while, he was late and said evasively, "You are...... Shall you prepare silver or silver tickets? "
"Silver ticket."
"Silver ticket on you?"
"Needless to say, get the IOU out."
"That's right. Master, he went out today, and the IOU is also on him, otherwise in a few days, I will come to you with the IOU and the deed. ”
Lan Chen frowned, feeling that Chen Qing was hiding something, and things were not as simple as they seemed.
But he had no choice but to nod helplessly, "Okay, but say it in advance, it's your business to miss the day, anyway, I'm ready to pay the arrears." ”
"I know, I know, Lan Gongzi will go slowly, if you don't send it, you won't send it."
Lan Chen, who turned away, naturally couldn't see Chen Qing's fierce expression after he breathed a sigh of relief.
