Chapter Twenty-Four: The Manor is Purchased

"I will never agree to this unless you sign an exemption treaty and put what you say into it. Ning Caichen pretended to be stupid and carefully observed this person's reaction.

"Can you not be so cowardly?" the fat man was a little annoyed, and said to a guy dressed up next to him: "Paper and pen." ”

"Young master, we came out to play, and we didn't bring pen and paper. The little guy nodded and said.

The fat man raised Luo Quan's leg and kicked him: "Stupid, you don't have a pen and paper, you won't borrow it from others, my son doesn't believe it, there will be no pen and paper in this gambling house." ”

The fat man's body is weak and weak, so he naturally can't hurt the little guy this time. However, in order to take care of his young master's self-esteem, the little maid still pretended to grin and borrowed a pen and paper from a steward in the gambling house.

Three times five divided by two wrote a treaty, and the fat man slapped it in Ning Caichen's hand: "It's all done, right? Good scholar, you must help me win back all the money I lost today, I have already lost tens of thousands of taels of silver in this gambling house, tens of thousands of taels." ”

"Your father is only a seven-rank pusher, why are you so rich?" Ning Caichen asked suspiciously.

"I'll tell you more when I have the chance, it's important to win now. The fat man waved his hand and said to the dealer: "Shake the cup, shake the cup." ”

The thin man glanced at Ning Caichen, hesitated for a moment, and shook the dice cup under the pressure of the fat man's gaze.

"This one, just choose the big one. Ning Caichen didn't even listen to the dice, and after the dealer deducted the dice cup, he directly drew out a thousand taels of silver tickets and slapped them on the table.

At this time, there are more and more gamblers who surround them, but there are few who really bet, and this bet has almost become a duel between one player and one village.

"Four, four, six, big! The odds are one to one. After opening the dice cup, the lean dealer already saw sweat on his forehead, and whispered.

"Scholar, you are amazing, bring two thousand taels of silver quickly, bring it. The fat man was so happy that he jumped to his feet and shouted.

The dealer handed the two thousand taels of silver ticket to Ning Caichen, glanced at a waiter beside him, and motioned for him to find the boss.

If it was only Ning Caichen, he still had many ways to solve this matter, but now that there is a second generation of officials here, the matter is not something he can solve.

The dice cup was taken again, and Ning Caichen had just placed a bet, and in an instant, more than a dozen gamblers followed the bet, looking at the dealer with shining eyes, which made his back feel cold.

"One, three, three, small! When the dice cup opened, the dealer's face instantly turned pale, and his body trembled faintly.

"Roar...... Finally win once, give money, give money!" someone in the crowd shouted.

"God of gambling, oh no, it's the god of luck, long live the god of luck!" a gambler who had bet three hundred taels cheered.

The dealer gritted his teeth and took out the silver ticket from the cash box and distributed it proportionally to those who followed the bet. Then he rolled his eyes and fell straight back to the ground.

"Hey, don't pretend, it's not such a coincidence that you're faint. The fat man climbed over the table with difficulty, grabbed the dealer by the collar, and shook it vigorously.

"Young Master Luo, Young Master Luo. In the ardent anticipation of the dealer who closed his eyes and pretended to be unconscious, the owner of the gambling house finally rushed over and took the fat man's hand.

The fat man didn't let go of the dealer, and glared at the middle-aged man who grabbed him: "What, you can't afford to lose in the gambling house?"

When the gambling house owner came, he had already heard about the situation here from the waiter, and glanced at Ning Caichen with a smile, he leaned over and said in the fat man's ear: "My Young Master Luo, I still hope that you will give the little one a way to live." There is a great god with a group of gamblers to place bets, and my gambling house must not lose money in an instant?"

The fat man's eyes rolled, and he whispered, "Then the silver I lost here ...... you"

"Return all the small ones, return them all, and send someone to your mansion in a moment. The owner of the gambling house said softly.

The fat man nodded with satisfaction, let go of the dealer's hand, turned it back from the table with difficulty, and hugged Ning Caichen's shoulder and said: "Good scholar, the seven thousand taels of silver in your hand will be given to you, go, we won't gamble today, I will invite you to eat and drink." ”

Ning Caichen looked at him in amazement, squeezed the seven thousand taels in his hand tightly, and refreshed his impression of the luxury of this second-generation official several times again.

Until he was dragged out of the gambling house, Ning Caichen still did not wake up from his daze. Because he suddenly thought of something, between this in and out, he seemed to have become a little rich.

With 7,000 taels in his hand plus 3,000 taels in his arms, 10,000 taels of silver, and 60 million yuan of purchasing power, he can definitely be called a rich party in his hometown in his previous life.

"Hey, scholar, I'm glad to be patronizing, I haven't asked you what your name is?" Pulling Ning Caichen to stand outside the gambling house, the fat man patted his head and said.

"My name is Ning Caichen, what about you. ”

"My name is Luo Fu, and for the sake of you doing me so much, you are allowed to call me by my nickname, Yuanqiu. The fat man said with a smile.

"Young master, sit in a sedan chair. The little guy in Tsing Yi beckoned two sedan chair men with big shoulders and round waists to come over, bowed to Luo Fu and said.

"Go, go, what sedan chair to sit, Young Master Ben is going to walk with Brother Ning, and you will follow behind. "Treating the little guy in Tsing Yi, Luo Fu habitually kicked before speaking.

The little guy in Tsing Yi nodded again and again, turned around and straightened his chest and pointed at the palanquin man: "Did you hear it, the young master asked you to follow, don't leave, and don't go fast." ”

"Uh, Yuanqiu, I still have some things to deal with......" Seeing Luo Fu facing him, Ning Caichen hurriedly said.

"Oh, Brother Ning, what's so busy?" Luo Fu asked curiously.

"It's not about buying a house, I didn't have any money before, I couldn't afford a house, but now I have some money, I want to do it. Ning Caichen said.

Luo Fu was happy when he heard this, patted his chest and said: "You have to find me for this matter, my family's real estate is the most in Jinhua, I will sell you a manor, what kind of house!"

Ning Caichen waved the silver ticket in his hand, and said with a wry smile: "Don't say anything about the manor or the manor, I only have 10,000 taels of silver tickets on my body." ”

Luo Fu thought for a while and said, "I think so, you give me eight thousand taels of silver tickets, and I will give you a good manor." That solves your problem, and I'll be able to explain the manor when I get back. ”

"Isn't that good?" Ning Caichen said hesitantly.

"What's not good, let's go, I'll take you to see the place first, you'll definitely like it after seeing it. Luo Fu hooked his shoulders with Ning Caichen and walked forward with him.

After walking for about half an hour, the five of them came to the end of a street, in front of a manor house of blue bricks and tiles.

The vermilion gate of the manor was locked, and Luo Fu asked the little man in Tsing Yi to open the door, and said to Ning Caichen: "In this manor, there are twelve houses, the main hall, kitchen, study, bedroom, etc., etc., everything is available, Brother Ning, after your family moves over, please invite some maids, and it will be a big family in an instant." ”

The little guy in Tsing Yi opened the door, and Ning Caichen walked into the courtyard, only to see that the thick soil was smooth, the ground was like washing, the door was clean, and the sun was full.

When I came to the main hall, I saw that there were tables, chairs, benches, tea sets and murals; in the kitchen, there was no shortage of pots and pans; in the study, pens, ink, paper and inkstones were neatly arranged; and in the bedroom, the beds were neat and tidy......

Such a manor was definitely a villa-level in the previous life. As a traditional Han Chinese, Ning Caichen, who has a high pursuit of family and housing, was instantly moved.

"Yuanqiu, this manor, if you sell it to others, it must be very expensive, right?" After looking around, the two came to the courtyard, and Ning Caichen asked seriously.

"But no, right here, close to the market, in the middle of the noise, it costs at least 20,000 taels of silver to sell to ordinary merchants. Luo Fu said with a smile.

Ning Caichen paused, took out all the 10,000 taels of silver tickets on his body, and slapped them in Luo Fu's hand: "Don't have eight thousand, just this 10,000 taels, or I took advantage of you." ”

"That's it. Luo Fu put away the silver ticket: "My house is only a short two miles away from here, fruit, go home and take the title deed." ”

"Yes, young master. The little girl in Tsing Yi nodded, handed the key to Ning Caichen, turned around and ran out of the manor.

"Yuanqiu, you treat me very well, and I will treat you as a true friend. Ning Caichen hesitated for a moment and said, "Can you borrow me a carriage, I want to go back to Gu County and pick up my parents." ”

Luo Fu said with a smile: "Friends are valuable, confidant, and sincere." I'll show you the bottom too. The reason why I am so good to you is not only because I look at you well, but because you helped me get back the tens of thousands of taels of silver I lost, and because your luck is too rebellious, and playing with lucky people, your luck will definitely be prosperous. As for the carriage, it's on me, and I'll have the fruit delivered to you early tomorrow morning. ”

"Then I hope my luck can bring you good luck. Ning Caichen smiled, patted his fleshy shoulder and said.

Near the end of the evening, the little girl in Tsing Yi finally rushed back, handed over the title deed here to Ning Caichen, turned to Luo Fu and said, "Young master, Miss Biao is back, and the master asked you to go home for dinner tonight." ”

Luo Fu frowned: "Don't go, I've already agreed with Brother Ning, and invite him to Wanxian Tower tonight to listen to music and drink." ”

"My dear young master, don't be stubborn, if you provoke the old man's anger, we will all follow and walk around without eating. The little girl in Tsing Yi pleaded.

"Yuanqiu, it's still a long time, we still have countless opportunities to listen to music and eat wine in the future, don't have any conflicts with your family because of this, go back." Seeing the little guy looking at him with begging eyes, Ning Caichen followed and persuaded.

Luo Fu sighed: "It's really a good thing, I was thinking of introducing the two of you to Brother Ning, but I didn't expect ......"

"Next time, next time. Ning Caichen smiled and sent him to the sedan chair that had been waiting at the door.
