I opened a mother and baby supermarket in ancient times to raise cubs

Just when Shanmian drinks were raging in the capital, a big shop named Shanmian Gambling Stone Pavilion was born again.

As soon as you enter this gambling stone pavilion, you will find that it is very different from other gambling stone casinos.

The first is that the order in the shop is so good that people mistakenly think that they have entered some kind of tea shop Accord, and each clerk is not like a waiter but like a guard.

The second is that the decoration of the shop is also refreshing. The stone gambling site is divided into countless compartments, which can be opened for outsiders to visit or closed for privacy.

The first floor is filled with low-grade jade from mountains and rocks, and the second and third floors are considered carnival places for the rich.

There is a huge celadon pool between the stairs, with finely crushed ice cubes and a few budding lotus plants inserted on it, surrounded by ice air, silk and bamboo orchestra, and cold drinks with fine wine, it is very comfortable and elegant.

Numerous jade stones with corners rubbed out are placed on the table, waiting for someone who is destined to take them away.

But it is said that it is difficult for a god to judge an inch of jade, and many connoisseurs sometimes miss it, but more often than not, after buying a piece of jade at a high price, the probability of finding a good jade is more than half.

This is also an important reason why Shanmian Gambling Stone Pavilion is famous. The jade is high-quality, the quality of the jade is excellent, and there are many people coming and going. It compares with several gambling stone casinos in the capital at once!

Those who can open the quarry are all people with skills and background. Now that they have been robbed of their business, they all want to teach this new "foreigner" a lesson.

Who Cheng wanted to use his contacts to check for a few days, but he couldn't find out the real identity of the person behind the betting stone pavilion.

I only know that this couple came from Shun'an Town, Chaozhou Prefecture, and rented a house in San'an Street, Baifu.

"Mountain cotton again? Is this the shop opened by that nobleman?"

"I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out."

"I only know that the owner of Shanmian Beverage is a young man with a handsome face, and that gambling stone pavilion is a man who is eight feet tall, serious and serious."

"I heard that, a few days ago, someone was looking for trouble, and the boss kicked him far away as soon as he lifted his foot!"

"Tsk tsk, I can't afford to offend you, let's wait and see."

The sun was hot this day, and there was a heat wave in the air, but there were two seasons inside and outside of the Shanmian Stone Pavilion, and ice cubes could be seen everywhere.

At noon, someone from the White Mansion came to Gambling Stone Pavilion and told Lie Shan that Qiao Mian had fainted, and Grandpa An had already sought the imperial doctor.

Lie Shan's complexion changed when he heard this, and he hurried home after telling his good Uncle Hua to worry more.

However, as soon as he got down to the first floor, he was stopped by a figure.

"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! Wait a minute!"

Lie Shan frowned and turned around, only to see a thin young man with a slightly hunched back.

When he saw those eyes that were very similar to Qiao Mian's, his eyebrows twitched, and he asked, "This young master is...?"

Ever since I thought that the mountain cotton drink was opened by Qiao Mian that day, Qiao Qi has been walking around the mountain cotton drink frequently these days, but I have never met Qiao Mian again. Later, I heard that there is a mountain cotton gambling stone pavilion in the city that has become famous. Only then did I use my brain to change places to block people.

But he was not very lucky, he only bumped into Qiao Mian once when he came to Gambling Stone Pavilion. At that time, he was still holding a three or four-year-old boy in his arms, but before he got close to Qiao Mian, he was blocked by a group of guards. He could only watch Qiao Mian get into the sedan chair.

When he really saw that face clearly, he was jealous and hated, Qiao Mian is obviously just a brother with a superficial appearance, why did he suddenly live in such an enviable appearance!As far as he knew, the income from the mountain cotton drink was about a few thousand taels a day, not to mention the gambling stone pavilion, which had a steady flow of customers, and boxes of silver and gold were carried to its backyard.

Later he found out that Qiao Mian not only climbed up to Han Qi, the commander of the forbidden army, but also seemed to be married to the owner of the gambling stone pavilion with a mysterious background in front of him.

Qiao Qi excitedly said, "You are Qiao Mian's husband, right? I'm Qiao Qi. It's Qiao Mian's elder brother whom I haven't seen for many years. I've been looking for him all these years!"

Lie Shan tightly clenched his hands behind his back, fixed his eyes on the person in front of him, and said, "Are you Amian's elder brother?"

Qiao Qi's eyes lit up, "Yes, it's me. My brother-in-law has heard about me from Xiaomian?"

Lie Shan showed an inexplicable smile and said as usual, "Of course, apart from doing business when we came to the capital, the second major thing we wanted to do was to take a good look at A Mian's former family."

When Qiao Qi heard him say this, the feeling of strangeness in his heart disappeared completely, and he said, "Well, I really didn't expect that Ah Mian would be so affectionate and loyal, and would still think of me and my relatives after being away from home for so many years. Mother and aunt."

"I have something to do at home. I don't have time to catch up with Mr. Qiao. Bai can't be with you. Mr. Qiao, you can go around and have a cup of herbal tea."

It turned out that his surname was Bai.

Qiao Qi murmured in her heart, and then hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, brother-in-law, you have a lot of work, so please go and do it first."

Lie Shan waved his hand again and called a servant, "Take Mr. Qiao to the third floor for fun."

When Qiao Qi heard this, she pretended to refuse, "No, no, I'll tell my brother-in-law, I'm so shy that I can't even afford to go to the second floor to look around for a rough jade, let alone the half-cut stone on the third floor."

Lie Shan sighed, and said indifferently, "We are all a family, Mr. Qiao just go to play, if you don't have enough money, you can charge it to my account first."

When Qiao Qi walked up the stairs briskly, Lie Shan gave the people around him a wink, his eyes shivered slightly, and he sneered: "Take him to have fun."

The next person understood and said yes.

When Lie Shan returned to the mansion, he saw Grandpa An coming out of the room with the imperial doctor.

Lie Shan said anxiously: "Grandpa An, what's wrong with Ah Mian?"

Grandpa An glanced at the imperial doctor, and the imperial doctor hurriedly said, "Master Qiao has slept late recently and is greedy for cold, and has been running around during the day, and caught a cold due to the combination of cold and heat."

Lie Shan frowned, "Is it serious?"

The imperial doctor said, "It's not serious. Drink two medicines in the morning and evening and you will be cured."

Only then did Lie Shan secretly heave a sigh of relief, strode into the room, and saw the rice dumpling turned into a tiger body and collapsed on the rocking chair, with hot milk and a pile of beef jerky beside it, and Gao Gao playing with building blocks with a serious face.

And Qiao Mian was still writing and drawing while lying under the quilt.

Lie Shan was so angry that he went up and patted Qiao Mian's head, "I'm still painting, I'm making myself sick!"

Qiao Mian looked back, and quickly threw away the pen guiltily, "No, there are no paintings, only the last few pictures are left."

Lie Shan glanced at the colorful things, which looked like paper but were harder and smoother than paper. He took the things away and sighed, "Hurry up and give me a rest."

"Hey, if it weren't for the fact that this thing can't be faked, I wouldn't have stayed up all night painting."

Lie Shan rubbed Qiao Mian, "A few days ago, I told you that you didn't need to paint for you, but now you're making yourself sick. How do you feel now?"

"I'm fine, just a little dizzy." Qiao Mian smiled and said, "You draw for me? Are you not busy betting on the stone pavilion?"

"With Uncle Hua in charge, it's no big deal."

Lie Shan moved Qiao Mian on his knee and gently rubbed Qiao Mian's forehead. Qiao Mian closed his eyes and enjoyed it, "Gambling Stone Pavilion has now gained a firm foothold in the capital. If you have any troublesome work in the future, you can push it to me. Don't run around alone, you will get tired and hurt yourself."

Qiao Mian replied lazily, "There's nothing else to do now, just send the book to the bookstore for printing, and make some snacks from the kitchen."

Lie Shan: "I will accompany you in the future."

After a while, he said again, "Can you contact the people in Yongqinghou Mansion these days when you come back?"

Qiao Mian laughed, "Why did you ask the same question as Your Majesty?"

"Although my surname is Qiao, I am my own Joe. They had nothing to do with the Yongqinghou Mansion long ago when they ignored my life and death."

Lie Shan sighed in his heart, leaned over slightly, and kissed his little husband's temples, "A Mian is suffering."

In the days that followed, Lie Shan really stayed with Qiao Mian every step of the way, not mentioning everything in detail, and Qiao Mian also found that he had more guards from the Lian family around him.

After discussing the printing matters with the bookstore, the two of them will go to the Yue Porcelain Kiln in the south of the city to discuss business.

Qiao Mian opened the window and glanced at the servants following the car, "Let's go to discuss a business, is it necessary to bring so many people?"

Lie Shan's expression remained the same, and he said: "Our family has made many enemies in the capital because of the stone betting. A few days ago, a lot of bastards came and wanted to make trouble in the stone betting pavilion. The villains are in the dark, we have to guard against them. "

Qiao Mian knew about this, at first he really didn't expect it to be so serious, he frowned and said, "Then don't forget to bring a few more servants around Xiaosi Xiaowu, and let the servants pay more attention to the accommodation and food in the academy." , and Zaozao and Mingming, these two children often play on the long street outside the courtyard, so it is dangerous to think about it."

Lie Shan patted his hand, "Don't worry, there are people around the children."

Qiao Mian nodded and wanted to say something when she heard a commotion outside the sedan chair.

"what happened!"

"Don't move, I'll go and have a look." Lie Shan opened the car curtain and got out of the car, and said to the guards beside him, "Watch out for Master Qiao, don't let anyone get close to the carriage."

When he took a closer look, he found a group of guards tightly blocking a man, who was obviously wearing brocade clothes but was in a mess, and his body smelled sour.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, save me!"

Lie Shan glanced at the guard, "Drag him away."

Two guards dragged Qiao Qi to the end of Luobai alley, Lie Shan then asked with a sneer, "Master Qiao?"

Qiao Qi has been hungry for three days, and she has been hiding for three days.

This matter had to start when he bumped into this Mr. Bai half a month ago.He was carried up to the third floor by a few clerks, and he gambled with a group of wealthy children. At the beginning, he was very lucky. Although he borrowed money from the stone betting pavilion, every time he selected a stone, he would be able to get a good jade. It can be said that he was selected out of a hundred, and within a few days he paid back the money owed to Shige, and he still had 5000 taels of silver in his hand.People around him who used to look down on him, now they are all around him, admiring his unique insight, his luck, he will definitely be the only one in the next year's scientific examination!

The more he played, the more addicted he became, thinking in his heart, what would he do with his luck and painstaking imperial examinations?With a few thousand taels, you can start a business by yourself!Qiao Mian's brother can do such a big business, why can't he?

Now he took his fancy on another stone, but the price of this stone was extremely high. He invested all his silver and Aunt Yu's private house silver in it, and there was still half of it missing. If you get the precious jade, you can share it with him.

Qiao Qi has been fascinated by the money, and without any doubt, she signed the contract neatly and directly explained the stone.

But when the stone came out, he was dumbfounded!

The promised emperor emerald green jade turned out to be a hundred taels of cheap sapphire!

He, he missed!

Seeing the man-eating gaze of Mr. Qian, he trembled, both startled and terrified, but he still wanted to ask Shanmian to bet on Shige for a loan, but was told by the gray-haired old man that the owner was not in the shop, Dare to make rash decisions.

Qiao Qi lied to Mr. Qian that he would go home to get the money, but how dare he go home!Not only did he lose all of Aunt Yu's life savings, but if Yong Qinghou knew that he owed ten thousand taels of debt, he would definitely die!

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, please help me." Qiao Qi cried bitterly, "Let me meet Qiao Mian. Qiao Mian has been kind since he was a child. He will not refuse to save me as my own brother!"

Killing intent flashed across Lie Shan's deep eyes.

Since when is a good person a reason for you to bully him?
