Chapter 4: Exclusively published by Jin-Jiang Literature City
Yu Yan hated her husband's gambling behavior, so she couldn't hear the word gambling now. When Si Yuan said he wanted to make a bet with her, she subconsciously frowned.
Si Yuan said calmly: "Let's bet on whether my hexagram is accurate."
Yu Yan frowned and said, "When did you become obsessed with fortune telling?"
She looked at the three copper coins in Si Yuan's hand. They were ordinary copper coins, but relatively new in quality, nothing unusual.
However, it is not strange to use copper coins for divination, but what Yu Yan feels strange is, when did her husband learn divination?
Si Yuan casually pulled out a book from the bookshelf behind him, with three words "Tongtian Lu" written on it. He showed a proud expression on his face: "I learned from books. Now I can tell fortunes accurately. I can't go to the casino." It’s just a small test of my skills. It turns out that it’s just like my prediction. After losing ten gambling games, I will be very prosperous and fortune will turn around. Don’t you think I won money now?”
But as a person who is not superstitious, or someone who does not trust her husband, Yu Yan does not believe Si Yuan's words at all. She thinks that Si Yuan just happened to be lucky and won money today. If he continues to gamble next , will definitely continue to lose.
And for someone like Si Yuan who is so confident in his divination ability, he may feel that his divination is correct, thinking that he can win money, and then go to the casino and lose all his family fortune.
So Yu Yan didn't believe a word Si Yuan said despite what he said.
Finally, Si Yuan showed an impatient expression and said, "Okay, okay, I only spent the tens of thousands of taels I had on gambling before, right? But I won't give it to you again if I win."
When Yu Yan heard Si Yuan's words, he was overjoyed: "This is what you said. Then the deeds of the house, shop, farm and village must be placed with me. Otherwise, how would I know if you would mortgage these things and take them?" Went to gamble.”
Si Yuan knew in his heart that the original owner's lack of integrity made Yu Yan, a wife, insecure. He could not destroy the original owner's personality, but it would be good to take this opportunity to let Yu Yan take charge of the family's assets so that she could feel safe, so he pretended Impatiently, he agreed casually: "Okay, I'll take care of it as long as you can, and don't bother me anymore!"
After Yu Yan achieved her goal, she felt much more relaxed. She persuaded her stubborn husband a few words, but when she saw that her husband still looked unrepentant, she sighed and left the study.
Yu Yan could only comfort herself in her heart. After all, she was in charge of the family's assets. No matter how much her husband gambled, he would only lose all the more than 40,000 taels he had. Just pretend that he had never won this money. .
But from then on, Yu Yan also tightened her grip on the money in her hands.
Si Yuan still follows the original owner's personality, going out early and returning late every day to major casinos, and is no longer limited to the Qinghe Casino where he was when he first crossed over.
The more he gambled, the more he would win every time he placed a bet, which naturally caused other gamblers around him to follow suit. Of course, the casino would not welcome him, a gambling god who was sure to win every time he gambled. No one could win against him even if he was a cheater. The evil guy is not an ordinary person who can easily steal back his gambling money, so the major casinos in the capital no longer welcome him.
All casinos have to do is put up a sign at the door saying "Li Siyuan and dogs are not allowed".
Si Yuan is even worse than the dog, because some casinos will keep dogs to guard their homes and allow dogs to enter and leave the casino, but Si Yuan will never be allowed to enter the casino again.
On this day, Si Yuan went out to the casino early and came back early.
Yu Yan, who had long been accustomed to Si Yuan going out to gamble every day, saw Si Yuan coming back so early with a look of dismay on his face. He felt that the sun was rising in the west and asked, "Why are you back so early today?"
Si Yuan was so angry that he didn't speak. It was the entourage who followed him who answered: "Madam, I am not allowed to enter the major casinos."
Yu Yan was stunned. Although she also sent someone to inquire about her husband's recent situation and knew that he had been winning money recently, she did not expect that he could win so much that major casinos would exclude him.
Si Yuan said angrily: "Damn casino, isn't it that you must win every time you gamble? Sir, I didn't win much money from them. Such a big casino can't afford to lose tens of thousands of taels, so why do you have the nerve to open the door?"
He selectively forgot how huge the sum of the bets of the other gamblers who followed him were.
He was quite measured in his bets alone, winning tens of thousands of taels each time, but the gamblers who followed him were eager to invest all their wealth, and there were so many of them that together they could amount to A sum of money that could bankrupt a casino.
So Si Yuan was only rejected from the casino, instead of being beaten to death secretly, all because his identity as the son of the old Uncle Jing Yuan and the younger brother of the current Uncle Jing Yuan made those who opened the casino fearful.
Of course, there is also the factor that Si Yuan is very careful about not winning too much money. If he holds tens of millions of taels in his hand, the people behind the casino may take the risk to kill him and take away the money. Money.
The money in Siyuan's hand happened to be stuck on a safe line, and it was an amount that the Li family could protect.
Yu Yan was a little confused when she listened to Si Yuan's complaints, so her husband won the casino by gambling and wouldn't let him in?
She couldn't help but wonder, could it be true that what her husband said about fortune-telling and gambling, whether she would win or not, and whether she would be in good health?
Yu Yan couldn't help but want Si Yuan to help her with her fortune telling. After all, she had been married for almost three years and didn't have a son and a half. Could he help her with her fortune telling?
Yu Yan is a resolute person, so when Si Yuan had lunch with her at noon, he brought up this matter: "Husband, we have been married for almost three years and have nothing to do so far. Don't you know how to tell fortunes? Can you calculate when our destiny for children will come?"
Si Yuan moved his hands. Oh, he almost forgot that his mission in this world was to be the father of cannon fodder Zaizai.
So the question is, where is his Zaizai?
[System, where is my son? Do you want me to have a child with the original owner's wife? Then can the child we give birth to be the Li Changqing in the original plot? 】
The system replied: [Li Changqing is already in Yu Yan’s belly, but it has not been discovered yet. 】
Si Yuan: [Understood. 】
Si Yuan put down the chopsticks in his hand, wiped the corners of his mouth, then dug out of his sleeves, and took out three copper coins that were no longer as good as new: "I am now calculating when our child will come."
He didn't make any fancy moves, he just put his hands together and wrapped three copper coins in the space enclosed by his palms, shook them up and down three times, and then threw the coins on the dining table.
Yu Yan and the maids serving them all looked at the three copper plates on the table with curious eyes, completely unable to figure out the reason.
Si Yuan looked at the three fate coins that he had chosen seriously and seriously, with a serious expression on his face. Yu Yan, who was about to ask something, also became solemn, his breathing became lighter, and he looked at him expectantly.
Si Yuan pinched his fingers again in a pretentious manner, looking at the copper plate with a mixture of surprise and joy. He pinched his fingers: "Oh madam, God has really blessed us. I just counted with my fingers, and the hexagram showed that our A son has been born into your womb.”
Yu Yan was also extremely surprised when he heard Si Yuan's words, and asked again and again to confirm: "Is it true? I'm really pregnant?"
Si Yuan smiled and said: "Of course it's true. How could my calculation be wrong? If you don't believe me, please ask a doctor to come and take a look later. You must be pregnant."
Yu Yan was so happy that she didn't know what to do, and repeatedly ordered the maid: "Go and ask Doctor Zhang to come to my house to diagnose my pulse."
But before the maid who obeyed the order had even stepped out of the threshold, the housekeeper came over in a panic and reported: "Master, madam, the uncle's house has sent someone to ask you two to come over immediately."
Si Yuan and Yu Yan looked at the housekeeper's panic and knew that he said it was people from the uncle's house who came to invite them, but in fact he might have ordered them to go there to apologize.
After all, the housekeeper is usually quite steady, so he must have sensed something was wrong with the visitor's attitude that made him so panicked.
Moreover, it was lunch time at this time. Uncle Jingyuan’s Mansion sent someone to tell the couple to go there immediately. They were asked to go over at this time. I am afraid that there is something important, and then I can contact someone from the uncle’s home. Attitude, this important matter should not be a good thing.
Yu Yan looked at Si Yuan worriedly, and Si Yuan smiled reassuringly at her and said, "It's okay. My father, mother and brother must have known about what I have done recently."
This was expected by Si Yuan. He had long expected that the people behind the casino would definitely go to Uncle Jingyuan's house to file a complaint. And the complaint would definitely be to avoid the most important and say something unfavorable to him, such as persuading old Uncle Jingyuan. Discipline your third son. Don't always think about winning money through gambling. The right way is to study hard at home.
When Old Uncle Jingyuan heard that his third son, who had separated from his family, was addicted to gambling, he immediately imagined a future scenario in which his third son would lose his fortune and become homeless due to gambling. How could he sit still? Of course he immediately called his third son back and gave him a good beating.
Si Yuan almost guessed what kind of words the complainer would use. He already had a way to deal with it, so naturally he was not worried at all.
Si Yuan smiled at Yu Yan and said, "It just so happens that we go to announce the good news to our father and mother. They will have a grandson soon."
Although the old Jing Yuan Bo and his wife had already given birth to the grandson of the original eldest brother and the current Jing Yuan Bo Li Chengyuan, the third family was also a direct bloodline, so no child had been born yet, and the old Jing Yuan Bo and his wife had given birth to many children.
If it weren't for the strict rules of the Li family, which prohibited the birth of the eldest son of a concubine before the birth of the eldest son, I'm afraid that Mr. and Mrs. Jing Yuan would have been unable to restrain themselves and wanted to give the original owner a concubine.
The original owner was not a womanizer. Apart from having a concubine arranged by his mother to teach people before getting married, he had no other concubines.
Now there are only two women in the backyard, Yu Yan, his wife, and the Tongfang, who has no sense of existence and lives her own life behind closed doors.
Precisely because the original owner was not greedy for women, Si Yuan has been addicted to the casino since time travel and has never set foot in the backyard, nor has it aroused suspicion.
When the child in Yu Yan's belly is born, no one will probably care whether Si Yuan is close to women or not.
Yu Yan listened to Si Yuan's words and stroked his flat belly. He really hoped that there was really a child here, but he didn't trust Si Yuan so much. He couldn't help but said, "But I didn't ask the doctor to take a pulse, just in case." What should I do if it's a misunderstanding?" She didn't directly say what she would do if Si Yuan's fortune telling was inaccurate, but that was what she meant.
Si Yuan's face darkened and he said, "How can my hexagram be inaccurate? If you don't believe it, wait until you get to your uncle's house and ask the doctor to examine you."
Although Uncle Jingyuan's Mansion is declining more and more, it still needs to maintain its due respect. For example, it is necessary to have a doctor in the house to prevent the master of the house from having a headache and fever and not being able to call for a doctor in time. This is the doctor of the house.
Seeing that Si Yuan was angry, Yu Yan no longer questioned his fortune-telling skills, and followed Si Yuan in a carriage to Uncle Jingyuan's Mansion with an uneasy mood.
