The tall man was in a good mood, and even his voice was much kinder than Fang Cai, "Little brother, playing cards with my brother, you are still a little tender." When you climb out later, learn to bark twice, and my brother won't care about you today. ”

As he spoke, he was about to hold the silver in front of Shen Lingxi into his arms.

"Wait." Shen Lingxi looked at him and smiled, "I haven't opened the cards yet, how do you know that the one who wins must be you?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the scene instantly fell silent.

Shen Lingxi directly opened the hole cards.

"Supreme...... It's the Supreme! ”

The people in the crowd exclaimed, "What kind of luck is this, Tianpai meets the Supreme...... This one won, and there are five hundred taels of silver! ”

Liu Si has never been so happy in his life!

Five hundred taels!

He's a half-apprentice!

Won those two killers five hundred taels!

This is more than killing them for Liu Si, and it makes Liu Si happy!

Shen Lingxi watched Liu Si dance with his hands, holding the silver for a while, and then running to the two of them to make a grimace, smiling and crooked.

And such a smile, in the eyes of the two muddy people, it is simply a provocation that adds fuel to the fire!

"What's the matter, let's start climbing?" Shen Lingxi asked the gambling house manager to fold the silver into a silver ticket, put it in his purse, and said to the tall man: "When you climb out later, you learn to bark twice, I will come here tomorrow and give you a chance to turn the tables, how about it?" ”

What is the biggest temptation for a gambler?

Tell him that the next hand will turn the tables.

The tall man's heart, the murderous intent that Shen Lingxi wanted to die immediately, was instantly postponed for a day.

Tomorrow, when he turns the tables, he will be skinned and cramped again, so that he will die without a place to be buried, so as to make up for the insult he suffered today and relieve the hatred in his heart.

Thinking so, the tall man patted his younger brother on the shoulder, and the two of them fell to the ground with a reluctant face, and in the laughter of everyone, they learned to bark and crawled out.

Shen Lingxi turned his head sideways and whispered to Liu Si: "They have lost all their money, for tomorrow, they will definitely come to the door to find the buyer who broke the appointment to make money, you can know who the buyer is." ”

Liu Si's eyes lit up, and he was too busy to respond, and left with them.

Shen Lingxi was busy for most of the day, and he was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, so he went downstairs directly to open a private room, ordered a table full of dishes for himself, and enjoyed it.

After she left the gambling house, Chu Yan, who had been watching coldly on the second floor, walked downstairs.

He paced, stood still in the position of Shen Lingxi's previous position, a pair of cold starry eyes, looked at the opposite side, his finger bones were slightly curved, and tapped the direction of the void directly opposite, and asked in a deep voice: "You say, who has she been looking at and who is she smiling at?" ”

The steward around him is unknown, so, "Xu is...... An accomplice she secretly brought with her? However, the crowd was far away from the table, and Tian Laojiu's cards could not be seen. ”

"It's weird if you can't see it, let Chunjun check that person." Chu Yan thoughtfully ordered, "Let the embroidered clothes envoy follow the Tian family brothers, they are short of silver, they will definitely go to the buyer, as long as the two parties connect, take it directly, bring it back to Beiya, and interrogate it." ”

*

Shen Lingxi ate and drank to his heart's content, turned into the ready-to-wear shop and bought plain clothes for women to wear, removed the disguise on his face, hired a car, and went to Dongshi to buy some fine rice paper, paints, bamboo and wood, silk threads, etc., loaded a full car, and then slowly returned to Wangxian Village.

The east end of the village, where Shen's coffin shop and Fu'an Hall are located, is already a piece of vegetarian food.

White flags stand on both sides of the official road, and the spiritual tents built with good white satin stretch for three or four miles.

A porridge stove was built under the mourning shed, and the porridge and rice overflowing with the aroma of meat were boiled.

The old and weak women and children in ragged clothes lined up to receive porridge and food.

This is what Shen Lingxi explained to Zhuang Sheng and the four of them before leaving in the morning.

It's only been a few hours, and it's already very decent.

The carriage stopped at the corner gate of Fu'an Hall, and Ah Xiang came up to help unload the goods, and by the way, he told her everything that happened when she was not there.

"Sister Lingxi, you haven't been here for a day, Mu Shaoqing has come to look for you several times, and has been asking where you have gone and when you will come back, as if she is very angry, and her eyes are wide, as if she wants to eat people."

"The yacha of Dali Temple, who led the people of the Hou Mansion, came to recognize the body of your new burial, guess what, that person is actually a big steward of the Hou Mansion, named Liu Si, who has been following the Hou Ye all the year round."

"Liu Si's family came and cried sadly. As you instructed, lend them the east wing of Fu'an Hall as a mourning hall, and build him an ice platform to ensure that his body is not perishable. ”

"Zhuang Sheng has already asked people to send news to the capital, and it is estimated that early tomorrow morning, the people in the capital will know that the Xuanping Marquis Mansion is going to do white things for Yao Niang, and the people who will come to eat tomorrow are afraid that there will be more than today, and some will be busy. This silver is really spent like flowing water, only today one day, it cost a full fifty taels! ”

"You go to the Golden Immortal Temple, and let the female crown send more people to help." Shen Lingxi explained.

Ah responded.

Shen Lingxi heard him say so much, but he didn't mention Shen Yuyao, and asked curiously, "What about Shen Yuyao?" Didn't come? ”

"It's coming, it's coming." Ah Xiang scratched her head, not knowing what to say, "Even when Mu Shaoqing was there, she was quite normal, as soon as Mu Shaoqing left, she shrank there alone, silent, as if she had no soul." Didn't she ask Xuanping Hou to bury Yao Niang? Why is it so negative? ”

Shen Lingxi was stunned, he didn't know what to think, his eyes were slightly dark, and he said softly:

"If a person is beaten and raised like a cat or dog, the owner will do whatever she asks, obedient, well-behaved, sensible, the owner spoils her very much, likes her very much, and she also feels that this is the happiest."

But suddenly one day, she found that all this was just a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water, and the master's favor for her was conditional and would change. I gave it to her before, and I will give it to others in the future. None of the things she held in her hands that made her feel happy were her own. The past is fake, and the future seems hopeless. ”

"The heart is already at a loss, but the body still can't help but follow the long-standing habit and obey the master. I wonder if everything can go back to the way it was......"

Ah Xiang scratched his head, even more confused, "Sister Lingxi, why can't I understand what you said?" Are you talking about Shen Yuyao, or a cat, or a dog? ”

Shen Lingxi came back to his senses, collected the emotions in his eyes, chuckled dumbly, and winked at him.

Shen Yuyao was just listening to Shen Ji's words and currying favor with Mu Huai'an. I just want to tell you how difficult the road ahead is, even if it is a little hard and tiring, you have to learn to stand up and be a person, instead of thinking about changing owners and being someone else's cat or dog. In this way, you can live freely and wantonly. ”

After saying this, she took a step and walked into Fu'an Hall.

And in the corner she didn't see, a slender figure, leaning on the corner of the wall, stood tremblingly, and her black and white eyes were already rippling with tears......
