Traveling through life to become rich

The next day, when the sky had just turned pale, Shen Yanzhi woke up with a good spirit and a refreshed look.

Xie Mingyu touched his forehead with his hand, and the heat had returned to normal, she said softly, "I won't go to the private school today, I'll ask for leave for you later, stay at home for two days before going."

Shen Yanzhi narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice: "Brother, I'm fine, so I don't need to ask for leave."

Xie Mingyu said: "No, if you have a fever again, will you be anxious to death brother?"

Shen Yanzhi still wanted to persevere, but when he raised his eyes and saw a bruise in Xie Mingyu's eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and nodded obediently.

Xie Mingyu smiled in satisfaction, and patted his head: "This is a good boy."

Shen Yanzhi's face turned red slightly, and he deliberately sighed: "Since I don't go to school anymore, I'll sleep for a while."

Xie Mingyu looked funny, rubbed his hair, turned over and got up.

Last night Shen Yanzhi suddenly had a fever and fell ill. Although he recovered overnight, Xie Mingyu had lingering fears. After the meal, he gave him medicine again and told him not to bother reading, but to take care of himself, and then he was relieved. First, he went to a private pad to ask Shen Yanzhi for two days off, and then went to Baiweizhai.

When they arrived at Baiweizhai, Yuan Chengjie smiled and told him about Jiang's visit the day before yesterday.

With a disapproving smile on Yuan Chengjie's face, he said lightly: "You have all separated, and she came to the door arrogantly, just like the shop in her house here, and she didn't even send a post in advance. How shameless! Mr. Xie, you don’t know how ugly the expression on her face was when I said that I was a counselor of the Duke of Anguo’s mansion and managed the store for the prince. Hmph, since she knocked over the lattice cabinet by herself , don’t blame me for killing her.”

Most of the decorations on the lattice cabinet were fakes from the previous dynasty, and they were not of high value. The total amount was only more than four hundred taels, so they were placed in the shop. Yuan Chengjie really dared to ask for 1000 taels from Jiang.

A flash of hostility flashed in Xie Mingyu's heart, and she secretly made up her mind that she would not spare Jiang Shi lightly.He doesn't care about this little money now, but it's not bad to give Jiang some blood. He smiled and said to Yuan Chengjie: "She smashed things in our shop, and she should bleed a little. This time Thanks to Mr. Yuan, thank you very much."

Yuan Chengjie waved his hand modestly, but with a smug smile on his face, he turned around and went to work.

In Xie's mansion, Jiang sat on the soft chair with a sleepy expression, and a teenage girl stood behind her and rubbed her forehead.

During this period of time, apart from Xie Wanru's marriage, which made her happy for a few days, the rest were all bad things. This time, she even lost her wife and lost her army.

She originally planned to ask for some benefits from Xie Mingyu by taking advantage of Shen Yanzhi's biological mother, but in the end she didn't even see anyone. In the end, because of her impatience, she almost offended the counselors of Duke Anguo's mansion, and was cheated for nothing. She was so angry that her lungs hurt.

There is also Shen Yanzhi's mother, who sneaked out of the mansion yesterday when the servants were not prepared, and has not come back so far, and now only Zhao Mei is still in the mansion

Moreover, the matter of donating officials has not yet figured out, so we have to find a way.

Mrs. Jiang was in a trance, and there was a servant girl outside the door to report that a young man next to the master had something urgent to report to his wife.

Mrs. Jiang casually ordered the girl to let him in, but the young servant looked flustered, and knelt down on the ground as soon as he entered the door, shaking his voice: "Madam, master... Master was in Yushi Hutong just now, master..."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Jiang's expression changed immediately: "Yushi Hutong is a gambling house, why is he there! Didn't the master say that he would go out for a walk outside the city?"

Heart yet? "

The boy kowtowed and cried, "Master didn't go outside the city, he went straight to the gambling house when he left the mansion."

When Jiang heard this, she almost vomited blood, stood up suddenly, and said sharply: "What's going on? Tell me clearly!" The servant knelt on the ground and cried, "One time when I was walking outside, The master was in a bad mood, and happened to be passing by the gambling house, and the people inside shouted and went in. The people there flattered the master, and they won a lot of money after a lot of money. , I haven’t lost in the past few days, and I can get dozens or even hundreds of taels naked every time. Today... I don’t know what’s going on today, I’ve been losing all the time. Said to lend it to the master, the villain stopped it a few times, but he couldn't stop it at all..."

During this time, Xie Xiaozhang had been going out day and night, and didn't get close to her very much. She also had a lot of troubles to deal with, so she didn't pay much attention to them. This morning Xie Xiaozhang told her that the scenery outside the city was beautiful, and a colleague invited him to go to relax. Going around, Mrs. Jiang is naturally willing to do this kind of thing, and even specially ordered the kitchen to make some exquisite wine and dishes for him to bring, unexpectedly...

Jiang only felt his temples beating like thunder, and his eyes turned black. He pinched his fingertips fiercely, and then he managed not to faint. He managed to stabilize his mind and asked, "Master... how much did he lose?" ?”

The boy didn't dare to raise his head at all, kowtowed and cried: "Six thousand five hundred taels... Now I'm locked up in the casino, and the people in the casino gave me a three-day deadline, saying that if I don't pay off the gambling debt when it's due , break the master's legs first, and then report to the government."

Jiang slumped down on the chair, 500 taels, yesterday she was cheated of 1000 taels, today Xie Xiaozhang lost [-] taels in a bet, since the separation from Xie Mingyu, the family has become weak and spent a lot of money I gave Xie Wanru a dowry, so I couldn't make up so much cash at all...

After a long time, Mrs. Jiang said in a hoarse voice: "Go and find out the land deeds of the two villages in the north of the city, and go to the pawnshop to exchange them for cash. It's a little secret."

Those two villages were originally intended to be Xie Wanru's dowry, but now... Forget it, it's important to redeem the master from the gambling house first

Hearing the words, the girl behind her hurriedly went to find the title deed from the cabinet, and the servant took it with trembling hands.Jiang waved his hands weakly, and said in a low voice, "Go."

The boy kowtowed and hurried away.

Jiang's face was gloomy, and she was filled with resentment towards Xie Xiaozhang in her heart. After a while, another maid came outside and reported through the door: "Ma'am, Liyuan sent some women over, saying that they want to see Miss Zhao."

Hearing this, Mrs. Jiang knew after a little thought that Shen Yanzhi's mother sneaked out of the mansion yesterday and went to Xie Mingyu's place, and now she sent her mother-in-law to pick up Zhao Mei with great fanfare. The teacup fell violently, and said sharply, "Tell them to get out!"

The maid outside was trembling with fright, and hurried to deliver the message.

Jiang was gasping for breath, the girl behind her bravely took a cup and poured her a cup of warm tea again, and persuaded in a low voice: "Madam, calm down, don't get angry."

Jiang took it and took a sip, and said angrily: "I'm so angry? I don't let me worry about one by one, I wish I would die early

! "

The women sent by Liyuan failed to see Zhao Mei, so they told the butler when they went back. The butler frowned, and went to Dong Er Lane to report to Xie Mingyu at night.

Xie Mingyu was sorting out the account books in the study, and she was not surprised at all when she heard the words, she said calmly: "This matter is not urgent, we will talk about it in two days, how is Mrs. Shen's side?"

The steward replied: "According to the young master's order, Mrs. Shen lives in the Anyi Pavilion, and arranged for two maids to take care of her carefully."

Xie Mingyu said: "That's fine, take care of it carefully."

The housekeeper nodded yes, thought for a while and said: "There is one more thing to tell the young master. The women who went to Xie's mansion today said that there seems to be something wrong in the mansion over there, and they want to pawn the two villages in the north of the city. Yes, the time was short, and they didn't find out any specific reasons. After I came back, I sent someone to check. The master over there seemed to be detained in the casino because he owed money from gambling, and he was collecting money.

Redemption. "

Xie Mingyu frowned upon hearing this: "How much do you owe?"

The steward said: "Six thousand five hundred taels."

Xie Mingyu sneered when she heard the words, Yuan Chengjie had just cheated Jiang for 1000 taels, and Xie Xiaozhang made such a move again, the couple is really a perfect match.

He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said to the butler: "Go and find out which pawnshop you pawned at, and buy those two Zhuangzi, um... write Yanzhi's name on the document."

The housekeeper smiled and said: "Okay, the pawnshop has already found out during the day that it is the Mingrui pawnshop in the north of the city, and I will go to it tomorrow.

"

Xie Mingyu said with a smile: "It's done well. When the time comes, how much money you need can be collected directly from the warehouse, and another 600 taels will be taken. The 100 taels will be rewarded to you. The other 500 taels will be given to Mrs. Shen so that she will not be kept in the house all the time." , go out to relax occasionally." Then the voice dropped, "However, if she meets someone, she must send a message to me in time."

The housekeeper hurriedly bowed to answer, Xie Mingyu briefly explained to him, and then returned to the Liyuan.

After Xie Mingyu finished speaking with the butler, she got up and went to the bedroom.

Shen Yanzhi had already taken a bath, and Le Cong, only wearing a jacket, was sitting on the couch holding a plate of buttered walnuts and eating with great relish. When he saw Xie Mingyu coming in, he quickly put down the plate, and said with a smile: "Brother, is the housekeeper here?" What's up?"

Xie Mingyu felt very relieved when she saw Shen Yanzhi, and while taking off her coat, she briefly explained what happened just now, but she didn't tell him that Zhuangzi would live under his name for the time being, and she would give him a surprise when things were done.

When Shen Yanzhi heard that Xie Xiaozhang actually went to gamble and lost so much money, he said blankly, "How could you lose so much money?"

Xie Mingyu sat on the couch, and said calmly: "The chief official has a fat horse, and those who watch it are quick to ride it, and those who ride it are happy with his words, and they drive endlessly until they die. Have you heard of this allusion?"

Shen Yanzhi shook his head blankly: "No, brother, what do these words mean?"

Xie Mingyu said with a smile: "This allusion means: the person who kills your horse is the one who applauds your horse next to him, and the one who praises you is the one who kills you, that is, flattering and killing. This is an old trick in gambling halls. Not tired."

Shen Yanzhi couldn't help but shuddered, and murmured: "The gambling house is so scary."

Xie Mingyu rubbed his earlobe amusedly when he heard this, and deliberately teased him: "In the future, you have to stay away from Yushi Hutong, there are all gambling halls, as long as you pass by, you will be dragged in to gamble. After the person entered, he even lost his pants, and finally was thrown out of the casino with his buttocks naked."

Shen Yanzhi didn't hear the smile in Xie Mingyu's words at all, his face turned pale when he heard the words, and immediately said with a vow: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely stay away from there!"

Seeing his stupidity, Xie Mingyu couldn't help laughing out loud, but felt that Shen Yanzhi was really cute as hell, so she pinched his chin and kissed him, sucking the creamy walnut taste on Shen Yanzhi's lips.
