Chapter 66: The Time Has Not Come
Yuan Dali was kicked out of the gambling house because he lost all the money on his body, and his heart was full of fire, and then he had to whisper and ask his wife for a tael of silver.
But the old lady didn't care how much this son spent, and she would give it again when she was done, and he felt that this son was going to climb on his head.
In addition, since he accepted a concubine, the concubine blew a little pillow wind on him from time to time, and he looked at this eldest son more and more unpleasantly.
He only lost two taels of silver in the gambling house today, and he still asked for it from his own wife because of his dead face, but look at this loser's son to have dinner here, this table of good dishes, plus the three flower girls who called to accompany him, he can't take it without ten taels of silver.
Thinking of this, the mood is even worse, the mood is not good, and the face and tone are naturally not much better.
And Yuan Liwei knows that his father has no brains, so he has never talked to him much about business.
And the purpose of this banquet was not said in advance, and now he can't say his intentions in front of the shopkeeper Cao, he just wants to appease his father first, and then talk to him in detail after returning home.
Who wants Yuan Dali to only feel that he has a relationship with his son, that is his junior, he is in front of his junior, he naturally wants to do whatever he wants.
And he has limited knowledge, listening to his son's introduction, he only said that Cao is the shopkeeper, and he is not the big shopkeeper, he only thinks that it is his son's fox friend and dog friend, just like the leper, who eats and drinks with his son, so he just greeted the "Cao shopkeeper" coldly.
The shopkeeper Cao was originally quite comfortable to be flattered by Yuan Liwei, and he was going to agree, but when he heard Yuan Dali's tone, he was unhappy.
I didn't drink the wine anymore, and pushed the flower girl next to me, and said sarcastically in my mouth: "Yo! The wine in your mansion, Cao is afraid that someone can't afford to eat it!
Yuan Liwei immediately couldn't take care of his father, and hurriedly stepped forward to apologize to Shopkeeper Cao and said: "Shopkeeper Cao, you have a lot of adults, don't worry about us in general, my father doesn't know where he was angry, and he felt a little uncomfortable, not intentionally against you." ”
As he spoke, he turned back to Yuan Dali and said, "Dad, come over and apologize to Shopkeeper Cao! Shopkeeper Cao has the intention to pull his son to make a fortune together, and our family should thank Shopkeeper Cao for his kindness." ”
As he spoke, he went to pull Yuan Dali, and gave the leper on the side a look, and the leper also hurriedly stepped forward and Yuan Liwei helped Yuan Dali to step forward to compensate the shopkeeper Cao.
Yuan Liwei held the hand on Yuan Dali's arm, pinched him hard, and reminded in a low voice: "The son begged the shopkeeper Cao to do something, father, you can not dismantle the son's platform, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the grandmother when you turn back." ”
Although Yuan Dali was not angry that he was being coerced by his son, he was also afraid of being blamed by his own mother, and he was even more afraid that he would not be able to spend money from his mother in the future.
So I could only come forward aggrieved and apologize to the shopkeeper Cao.
Shopkeeper Cao has been in the market for many years, and he can sit in the position of shopkeeper in the Fang family's business house as a person with a foreign surname, so he is naturally not an ordinary person, and he can see at a glance what kind of goods Yuan Dali is.
I didn't take him to heart at all, and the gesture just now was just to see Yuan Liwei's reaction.
Now seeing Yuan Liwei's attitude, he knows that Yuan Dali is also a master at home, so he pretended to be reserved and accepted his apology.
Yuan Dali apologized to the shopkeeper Cao aggrievedly, and sat on the side, just as the newly added dishes and chopsticks also came up, so he sat on the side and pulled a dead face to eat sullenly.
Lixia was bored watching outside for a while, and thought that he could see a good show! I didn't expect Yuan Dali to be so cowardly, and he had to look at his son's face.
Yuan Liwei resented the father of this pit son in his heart, and gave the leper a look, and the leper immediately went out and beckoned a flower girl to come in and sit next to Yuan Dali.
The flower girl got the explanation of the leper, and when she came in, she kept persuading Yuan to drink, and after a while, she persuaded him to drink a lot of wine, and followed the flower girl out of the private room and went back to her room to be happy.
And in the private room here, Yuan Liwei and the leper complimented the shopkeeper Cao for a few drinks, and finally sent him into the flower girl's room.
The leper also went back to the room with his flower girl in his arms, only Yuan Liwei was left, waved away the flower girl, summoned the wealth, and returned to the private room, sitting on the chair in front of the table, propping up on the table with one hand, and pinching his eyebrows tiredly.
Laicai hurriedly poured him a cup of hot tea, and then stood respectfully in front of the table, not daring to move, which called Laicai's subordinates' attitude towards Yuan Liwei and Yuan Dali's attitude was completely different.
A snort erupted from Lixia's nose as he looked at it.
Yuan Liwei took a sip of hot tea, and then instructed Laicai to ask the man to bring a few dishes down and reheat them, and then a bowl of rice and a bowl of hot soup.
Now my stomach is hot, and I just want to eat a hot meal first.
Laicai hurriedly trotted out to give orders to the men, and then hurried back to stand at the table and wait to listen to the orders.
Seeing that the tea in Yuan Liwei's cup had been drunk, he hurriedly refilled, Yuan Liwei finished drinking a cup of hot tea, and felt much more comfortable in his stomach, and the second cup was not in a hurry to drink, just played with it in his hand.
But he asked, "What did the master do today?"
Laicai didn't dare to hide it, so he could only tell Yuan Liwei about Yuan Dali's gambling money.
As soon as Yuan Liwei heard that his uncompetitive father was actually infected with gambling, he suddenly became angry, and he stepped forward and kicked his fortune down.
scolded in his mouth: "What's the use of asking you to be a dog slave, don't you know how to stop the master?"
Laicai didn't dare to resist, so he could only beg for mercy while bearing it: "The little one stopped, really stopped, but he couldn't stop it! The old man didn't listen to the little one at all."
Originally, the master was going to lose all the money and leave, but I don't know how, the last one started to win again, and he won several times in a row, and the master refused to go with the little one.
It must be that gambling house is out of a thousand, deliberately keeping people. ”
Yuan Liwei doesn't do his job when he is a child, he mixes around the street all day long, of course he knows all the ways of the gambling house, but he never thought that his wretched father could be infected with gambling.
He also knew that the slave couldn't persuade his father, so he just found an excuse to vent.
