The Regent's Tender Darling

"Come on, girl, take it." Aunt Hua handed the wine jar tied with a rope to Xuemei.

After receiving it, Xuemei asked: "How much is it?"

"A total of one hundred and twenty dollars." Aunt Hua said with a smile.

One hundred and twenty dollars? Xuemei was a little surprised. These small jars were made for a pound, and there were three jars in total. So the price of a pound of wine was forty yuan.

Seeing her suspicious expression, Aunt Hua smiled and said, "Girl, this grain wine costs twenty yuan per catty, while pear blossom wine and peach blossom wine are more expensive, fifty yuan per catty."

"Okay." Xuemei readily took out the copper coins. It wasn't that she thought they were expensive, but that they were too cheap.

After paying the money, she followed Little Loach out of the village. After getting on the carriage, she couldn't help but want to take another sip of peach blossom wine, but she finally resisted.

"How's it going? I didn't lie to you, did I?" Little Loach said with a smile, and there was a hint of scorn in his whole person.

Xuemei snorted lightly, then took out a ten tael of silver from her purse and said, "It's considered as your traveling expenses."

Although she didn't understand wine, she felt that the wine was pretty good and the queen would be satisfied with it.

After arriving at Yujie, the two parted ways.

At this time, a middle-aged man came over and grabbed the little loach by the shoulders!

This frightened the little loach, and his face suddenly turned pale, and he slowly turned around as if his shell was stuck.

After seeing the middle-aged man's face, the little loach relaxed, pushed the middle-aged man's hand away with disgust, and said, "I was scared to death, who did I think I was!"

Upon closer inspection, this middle-aged man was the same man who said in the morning that his father was paralyzed and could not move after drinking, and he wanted to buy all the wine in one go.

The middle-aged man reached out his hand and said impatiently: "You little bastard, where have you gone? Do you want to default on your debt? Give me the money quickly!"

"Who defaulted on the bill?" Little Loach was unhappy on the spot.

The middle-aged man sneered and mocked: "You have been cheating here for so many years, how could I not know you?" Then he urged impatiently: "Give me the money quickly!"

"Here you go!" The little loach took out a tael of silver and threw it to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man held it in his hand and looked at it, and immediately said unhappy: "Didn't we agree on two taels? Why is it missing?"

"Have you forgotten the money you owed me last time?" Little Loach said.

The middle-aged man seemed to have thought about it. He put away his anger for a moment, curled his lips, stuffed the money into his arms, raised his chin and said, "Let's go, come back tomorrow."

Seeing the middle-aged man leave, Little Loach looked around and saw the Imperial Guards wandering this way in the distance, so he quickly turned around and entered an alley.

After passing through this alley, we came to a gambling house.

He didn't have any hobbies in his life, he just liked a little gambling. Anyway, he was very comfortable on his own. When he was sleepy, he could sleep in Daxiangguo Temple, and when he was hungry, he could buy sesame seed cakes to eat.

Changle Gambling House is the largest gambling house in the capital. As far as he knows, it is run by a certain prince. He does not dare to inquire about the details. Anyway, he cannot afford to offend someone of this status.

The casino is noisy during the day, no worse than at night when there are the most people.

The people guarding the door saw that they were little loaches, so they didn't mean to stop them. They were all regulars anyway. The second floor was full of wealthy people gambling, and the first floor was suitable for ordinary people to try their luck.

Little Loach walked in. There was a lot of excitement inside, some were happy, and some were so angry that they were scolding their mothers. He stopped at the guessing place on the side.

The dealer shouted to leave, so he took out five taels of silver and pressed it.
