Volume 1 Thousand Gates, Chapter 26: Determination (2)

Yangzhou City was scattered with a hazy drizzle, and the autumn wind blew through the banquet, accompanied by a burst of autumn cold, so that Lu Tiandi's heart also rippled with this drizzle. Half an hour later, I saw him put down the cheats in his hand, and saw Hu Yidao sitting on the edge of the bed wiping his love knife, he got up gently and said, "I'll go down." ”

Hu Yidao showed his beard, grinned, and said in his heart: "It seems that this kid is not so ruthless and unrighteous. ”

Lu Tiandi came to the hall of Guiyuan Building and asked Xiao Er to borrow an oil umbrella, and he saw Tan Chaoying kneeling in the drizzle not far from the door, looking so fragile and petite.

Tan Chaoying's eyes were closed at the moment, and her whole body was soaked. She hugged herself tightly with her hands, her body couldn't help but tremble in the drizzle, even though she was now physically exhausted and her lips were white, but her persistent belief made her hold on, she must not watch the Tan Casino be destroyed in her own hands, it was her father's life's work. From childhood to adulthood, Tan Chaoying didn't mind being a daughter at all, the ancients said that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, but she was born in such a family, her father has no children, even if she has a second brother, she is also an idiot, she wants to be like a man, walk the five lakes and eat all over the world, even if she is not so ambitious, but as the daughter of Tan Mingshan, she must also take on the responsibility of the family, just because she is the eldest daughter of the Tan family, the second master of the Tan Casino.

The cold rain was eroding Tan Chaoying's belief little by little, but she still insisted, even if she knelt to death on the spot, she was willing. At present, only when Lu Tiandi and Na Yun Xueqing fight each other, can there be any hope of saving the Tan family from danger. Just when she was disheartened, the rain suddenly stopped, and her body and mind couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth all over her body, she opened a few wet hairs in front of her eyes, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Lu Tiandi quietly holding an oil umbrella to cover her in the rain, and took off a coat to put it on her personally.

Tan Chaoying's lips opened slightly, revealing a pale and weak smile from the bottom of her heart, and she muttered with emotion in her heart: "Childe!"

Lu Tiandi slowly helped her up from the ground, but Tan Chaoying knelt for too long, her legs were numb, and she fell into Lu Tiandi's arms when she just got up. She knew that her rash behavior was rude, for fear that Lu Tiandi would think that she was a random woman, so she immediately broke free from his arms, but Lu Tiandi grabbed her arm with one hand and said softly: "Let me hold you." ”

Tan Chaoying was speechless for a while, acquiescing to the other party's attitude. At this time, Lu Tiandi said in a heartfelt tone: "Miss Tan, why are you embarrassed by yourself. I'll send you back on the next road. ”

Tan Chaoying shook her head strongly, her big eyes looked even brighter in this night: "Childe has always said that the little girl is aggressive, and the little girl is like this, there are only two words in her heart, and that is faith!"

"Faith?" Lu Tiandi and Tan Chaoying's eyes met, he could see the pure and resolute look in the other party's eyes, this long-lost word, both strange and familiar, looking at Tan Chaoying's eyes, he couldn't help but think of a person, a once innocent, yearning for faith and ideals Xu Wenwen.

"Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs. People can have faith, but in the end, they will be crushed by reality, and belief is something that needs to be paid a heavy price in exchange, and the final result may not be satisfactory, can you bear such pain?" Lu Tiandi seemed to confirm Tan Chaoying's original intention, and couldn't help asking.

"Childe's words must also have an ulterior belief in my heart, and I can feel the stability of Childe, Childe's belief is stronger than that of Xiaonu, more endurance than Brother Hu, and even stronger than anyone else. In Childe's heart, you already know the answer, and it is precisely because of this that the little girl feels that only Childe can save our Tan family and save the entire gambling industry in Yangzhou City. ”

Lu Tiandi couldn't help but be dumbfounded, under Tan Chaoying's seemingly heroic and chivalrous appearance, her heart was so delicate and everything was very clear, no wonder her father Tan Mingshan dared to hand over the huge Tan Casino to her alone. If it is arranged in a thousand doors and eight generals, Hu Yidao is a typical fire general, and she Tan Chaoying is undoubtedly a general, which makes Lu Tiandi's thoughts more settled, and a layout has quietly taken shape in his heart.

"Send Miss Tan back first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow. ”

"Childe, did you agree?" Tan Chaoying asked solemnly and ecstatically.

"I didn't say yes, I just let me think about it for the night. ”

"If the son hesitates, how can the little girl go back and give an explanation to her father, and I hope that the son can give the little girl a happy decision at this moment. ”

Lu Tiandi was really helpless with her, so he had to say stupidly: "I will visit tomorrow and discuss the details of this gambling king competition with your father." Yun Xueqing dared to call herself a rookie in Qianmen, and provoked the entire Yangzhou City gambling industry with her own strength, and Qianshu was naturally clever, but I had to understand her gambling skills to deal with it. ”

"The little girl is grateful for the kindness of the child. These gifts must be accepted by the son, in order to show the father's heart. Tan Chaoying untied the package behind her, which contained the ten gold bars given by Tan Ming Mountain.

Lu Tiandi flatly refused: "The reward will be waived, you and I get acquainted, and it is also fate, besides, your Tan family is now full of debts, so keep it as a precaution." You have been kneeling in the rain for more than an hour, and now the cold is invading, let me send you back to rest early. ”

(Note: The ancient people divided the day into 12 hours, and one hour in ancient times is equivalent to two hours today.) The twelve-hour system was used in the Western Zhou Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, it was named in the middle of the night, the rooster crowed, the pingdan, the sunrise, the eclipse time, the middle of the day, the middle of the day, the day of the day, the time of the sun, the sunset, the dusk, and the people. It is also represented by the twelve earthly branches, and the other ten heavenly stems and twelve earthly branches are collectively referred to as the heavenly stems and earthly branches, which are also the wisdom derived from Zhou Yizhong, if you want to know more about Zhou Yi's metaphysics, you can join the readership and interact with Xiaolu. )

Tan Chaoying saw that Lu Tiandi's words were firm, and there was no reason to refute it, so she had to acquiesce. She felt more and more that this was God's eyes, and specially arranged for Lu Tiandi to appear at this opportune time, and she couldn't help but be secretly happy. Wearing the coat that Lu Tiandi gave him, with his support, in the night, the two of them walked slowly in the hazy drizzle with ducks and geese steps with oil umbrellas.
