Chapter 65: How to Afford a House
Hearing her ask this question, Shen Yan also answered very patiently.
"Because of Zheng Youcai's wife, Jiang. The reason why Shen Jun became addicted to gambling and lost so much at once was because the Jiang family sent someone to make a game. ”
During that time, Shen Yan went to the town to sell game every once in a while, and he occasionally ran into Shen Jun and entered the gambling house with a person.
Shen Yan didn't want to pay attention to this matter, but as soon as he thought about it, he kept an eye on it.
He squatted outside the casino for more than an hour before Shen Jun and the man came out.
At that time, Shen Jun's face was defeated, and the man comforted him again and again.
After the two finally parted ways, Shen Yan found that the man had gone to Zheng's house, and he had met a person at the back door of Zheng's house.
Shen Yan didn't see who the person who met him was, but he quickly had a guess in his heart.
With this speculation, he became a little more interested in this matter.
After that, he deliberately stared at it a few more times, and finally confirmed his guess that the person was indeed arranged by the Jiang family.
The reason why Jiang did this is naturally very clear.
Shen Lan hooked up with her husband, and she ruined Shen Jun.
Otherwise, when Shen Jun gains fame, Shen Lan's status will inevitably rise, and at that time, the Zheng family may not have the position of her as a wife.
Shen Yan discovered the mystery of this matter, but did not remind Shen Jun.
If he reminds him, he may think that he has ulterior intentions and deliberately provokes him.
It was precisely because of this previous discovery that Shen Yan was able to use this matter to make a fuss and let Shen Jun be driven out of Luming Academy.
In fact, even if he didn't do it this time, Jiang would do it, it was just a matter of time.
Sang Sang listened to Shen Yan's story, and then he showed an expression of sudden realization.
Since Shen Jun's gambling addiction was caused by the Jiang family, the Jiang family would naturally find a way to prevent Shen Lan from using the Zheng family's money to help him solve the matter.
Jiang's temperament is strong, and during that time, she regarded Zheng Youcai to death, and she didn't let Shen Lan find a chance to ask Zheng Youcai for help.
As a result, Shen Jun's gambling debts have been owed and have not been resolved in time.
Sang Sang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, jealous women are really terrible.
I'm afraid that until now, Shen Jun still doesn't know that his gambling addiction is secretly done by the Jiang family.
The Jiang family is so powerful, Shen Lan is in the Zheng family, can she really fight her?
However, whether you can fight or not, that is Shen Lan's own choice, and others can't worry about it.
On this end, they are discussing Shen Lan and Zheng Youcai, and on the other side, the other party is also discussing them.
Shen Lan had never seen Sang Sang, but if she knew Shen Yan, she would naturally recognize Sang Sang.
In Shen Dazhu's mouth, Sang Sang was a disfigured ugly monster, but Shen Yan, a person who had always been cold, actually broke into Wanchun Tower for an ugly monster and really snatched people back.
Originally, Shen Lan didn't know why, but now, Shen Lan saw Sang Sang with her own eyes, and she had the answer in her heart.
Regardless of whether Sangsang's face was ruined or not, it could be seen from the half of her face that her complexion was extremely white, like a smooth jade.
The red dress she wore today not only made her complexion whiter, but also showed off her bumpy and beautiful figure.
Shen Lan had always been quite satisfied with her figure, but now, when she saw Sang Sang, she felt like she was being crushed, and a subtle jealousy came out of her heart.
After noticing the light in the eyes of the man next to him looking at Sang Sang, the subtle jealousy in Shen Lan's heart instantly burned, and it burned directly into a raging flame.
It wasn't until the two of them left together that Zheng Youcai's gaze reluctantly took back.
Shen Lan bit her lip lightly and suppressed the anger in her eyes.
She stretched out her hand and gently pulled Zheng Youcai's arm, "Husband." ”
Zheng Youcai came back to his senses, coughed lightly, and asked, "Who is that woman?" How could you be with your cousin who was the lone star that day? ”
Shen Lan heard him deliberately ask about Sang Sang, and she was even more sure in her heart that this man really had a thought about Sang Sang.
Shen Lan's heart surged with qi and blood, and it was easy to suppress it.
She whispered, "She was bought by my cousin for five taels of silver." ”
At the end, he added, "She has several long and deep scars on her face, which is why she always wears a veil." ”
Although she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, both the uncle and the aunt said so.
Uncle may still be exaggerating, but Uncle is an honest person, and it is impossible for her to lie.
Zheng Youcai listened, and a look of regret appeared on his face.
"It's a pity."
With his countless experience in reading women, he can see at a glance how attractive Sangsang's figure and posture are.
But if it is paired with a face with scars, it will ruin the scenery.
He didn't want to be scared out of sight of a ghostly face one night.
Shen Lan was relieved when she saw that he had dispelled his thoughts, but deep in her heart, the jealousy and resentment towards Sang Sang became more and more intense.
They had nothing to gain from their journey to-day, so they got into the carriage and prepared to go back.
As soon as she got into the carriage, Shen Lan thought of a question, why did Shen Yan and them come here?
This is not difficult to inquire, and soon Shen Lan let people find out the answer.
They are also here to buy a house! Moreover, I can't look down on the houses in the west of the city that are a little worse.
How can it be? How could they suddenly have so much silver?
It was she who relied on the child in her belly to get Zheng Youcai to agree to choose a house for her.
That's right, Shen Lan already has Zheng Youcai's child, who was conceived by the Jiang family when she was blocked in the inn.
Zheng Youcai's other concubines were all accepted before the Jiang family passed the door, and the Jiang family couldn't pursue it, but Shen Lan was unlucky.
She lost face that time, and almost lost the bamboo basket.
Fortunately, her stomach was angry and she became pregnant in one fell swoop.
She found an opportunity to reveal the news to Zheng Youcai, and the master of the Zheng family stepped forward to call the shots, so she had the opportunity to enter the door of the Zheng family.
The Jiang family hated her to the core, and her life in the Zheng family was naturally cautious, walking on thin ice.
In order to protect her children, and in order not to annoy Zheng Youcai, she was not pampered, this time she also took advantage of Jiang's return to her parents' home, Zheng Youcai was in a good mood, so she took the opportunity to mention the matter of buying a house.
But Zheng Youcai was also afraid of the shrew of the Jiang family in his bones, even if he promised to buy her a house, he didn't dare to buy her too big and too good.
And Shen Yan was a lone star that day, and he looked richer than himself!
Shen Lan thought of what her father said when she returned to her parents' house before, the woman Shen Yan bought back is now selling braised meat in the town, and the business is still very good.
Could it be that they can afford to buy a house, but they all earn it by selling braised meat?
Originally, Shen Lan didn't care, but now, she couldn't help but be surprised.
The surprise was followed by deep jealousy.
Zheng Youcai was also a little surprised, "Didn't you say that your cousin was so poor that he jingled?" How could there be such a large sum of money to buy a house? ”
Her eyes rolled, and a thought crossed her mind.
She spoke with envy and sigh.
"You may not believe it, but my cousin is also lucky, the woman he bought back has a unique and good craft, can make dirty and smelly pig water fragrant and delicious, and the price has multiplied several times at once.
If this recipe is in the hands of our family, then how much silver can our family make? ”
