Cai Men still had a sense of propriety and did not get into trouble with Liang Chuan on such a small matter. He arranged a good wing room for Liang Chuan. The living room and living room were fully furnished. The Ding mansion had its own kitchen, which was very good. place.
Zheng Ruoying looked at the grandeur of the Ding family and was so shocked that she could hardly close her jaw. Although the Zheng family was considered a big family in Fengshan, compared with the Ding family, it was not even a hut.
Liang Chuan was really amazing. She was stunned with a series of magical maneuvers. First she offended a county king, and then she got close to a deputy prime minister. She was able to establish a relationship with them even in Bianjing, and it only took them half a day to go out. , Sure enough, gold can shine everywhere. This big dragon has entered the sea of Bianjing, and I am afraid he will have more fun swimming.
The family rules of the Ding Mansion are extremely strict, and the rules on hierarchy are comparable to the laws of the Song Dynasty. Anyone who violates the rules will be directly expelled from the house, and some even directly send them to the government! The Ding Mansion is not a place where you can move around at will. The servants have a limited area, and only people of Cai Clan's level have the right to walk around.
Now there is another Liang Chuan. Ding Wei gave him great power as soon as Liang Chuan came. It can be said that he knew people well and delegated power boldly. He gave Liang Chuan such huge power without knowing much about Liang Chuan. He didn’t know what to say about him. Are you bold or do you do things grandly?
A person can ascend to heaven with chickens and dogs, and every servant brought out from Ding's house will be arrogant. When they walk on the street, they will have an arrogance that no one dares to offend. Everyone in the court today knows that offending Ding means there will be no good consequences, and he will be beaten. Dogs still look after their owners, right?
The family is divided into first-class servants, who are dedicated to serving Ding Wei and his relatives. The second-class servants are responsible for running errands, and the third-class servants are responsible for hard work such as chopping firewood and carrying charcoal. People like Liang Chuan are now considered to be in the mansion. Management.
The next day, Cai Men called everyone together and solemnly introduced Liang Chuan. Liang Chuan glanced at all the servants. These servants and servants were all distinguished by the color of their clothes. It was very clear at a glance. Cai Men finished the introduction. , everyone shouted in unison: "Manager Liang!"
Liang Chuan was embarrassed to be told that he was minding his own business and wished he could have some leisure time.
Liang Chuan also tried his best to give Cai Men face in front of everyone. The power of this manager was divided into half by himself, and he could not let him lose face in front of his former subordinates.
Liang Chuan said politely to Cai Men: "Master Cai, although Mr. Ding asked me to take care of external affairs, I have not delivered many things clearly when I first came here. I will inevitably make mistakes when doing them. Now I have to take care of you. Wait until I see." How about taking on this burden once you’re familiar with it?”
Cai Men didn't expect Liang Chuan to be so polite. He glanced at everyone from the corner of his eye, as if to say, open your eyes and take a look. I still have the final say right now.
Cai Men patted Liang Chuan on the shoulder and said in a very appreciative tone: "Serving Master Ding is a matter between you and me. We will be a family from now on. Why should we share so many things with each other? It is for the eldest brother to share the worries of the younger brother. It’s a matter of duty, so there’s no need to say any more about these things!”
Everyone watched their performance and only had one idea in their minds. This newcomer was afraid of Manager Cai, and was afraid that he would have to curry favor with him in the future.
After the introduction, Liang Chuan casually stopped a servant and looked at his clothes. The green ones represented second-class servants. These people were specialized in running errands outside.
Liang Chuan asked: "What's your name?"
The servant was stunned for a moment and said: "The boy's household registration was canceled when he entered the Ding Mansion. Now the Ding Mansion has given him the name Nian Xiu."
It is said that people in the Ding Mansion now have seniority rules. They are ranked according to the eight characters of Shao Nian, Xian Yang, Jiandao and Dun'an. However, only the fourth character of Yang is used in the eight characters. After all, the Ding Mansion is also The newly promoted dignitaries want to have a long history, but their background is still a bit lacking.
Liang Chuan said: "Where in the city has good gouache and rouge? Bring some back for me." Liang Chuan took out some money from his arms and handed it to Nian Xiu.
Nian Xiu held a bunch of money, with a hint of inadvertent cunning flashing in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Manager Liang. It's not a waste of time for you to worry about. Just rest and I'll be back as soon as I can."
Liang Chuanlai originally thought that such a simple thing would not cause any trouble, but when he saw Nian Xiu's evil face, his heart skipped a beat, and a feeling that something was about to happen came to him.
At noon, meals were delivered from Ding's kitchen. Liang Chuan took a look at them. They included pork belly with pickled vegetables, river shrimps with minced garlic, short ribs and stewed mushrooms, and a few side dishes. They were exquisite and delicious, but the staple food was a few snow-white trowels. .
The food the stewards ate was pretty good. Liang Chuan asked more about what the servants ate. They said that it was at least better than what people from small families outside had to eat.
A small household, Liang Chuan smiled bitterly in his heart. The living conditions of the people on the southeast coast were pretty good. Back then, his family ate millet porridge for a long time without eating a morsel of meat. In Bianjing, chickens and dogs ascended to heaven, and even the lowest servants They also live better than ordinary people.
Liang Chuan even knew that in the southwest and northwest, places like Fan Dianyuan and others could not even survive, and a mouthful of millet porridge was a luxury. For them, they did not dare to even dream about the life of the people in Bianjing.
Zheng Ruoying lives in Fengshan. The Zheng family rarely eats this way. Meat with a knife is very good for dinner. Hearing what Liang Chuan said, he was surprised.
Just after the meal was finished, the servants rushed to the door of Liang Chuan's wing and shouted at the door: "Manager Liang, something happened, something happened! Nian Xiu was detained by the people from the gambling shop!"
Liang Chuan looked at Zheng Ruoying, put down his chopsticks, and said, "It's just our first day here, and the disaster came from the sky before we even covered our buttocks."
Zheng Ruoying said worriedly: "Are you okay?"
Liang Chuan said: "Don't worry, it's just drizzle, the storm hasn't come so fast yet?"
Liang Chuan's face was calm and calm, and he said it in an understatement, but Zheng Ruoying was very worried when he heard it. The water here is deep and complicated, and the situation is more complicated than Xinghua Qingyuan for hundreds of years. Anyone who offends can make people like him irrecoverable. He Forget about taking risks for his own sake, now he still has to fight with these monsters and ghosts, and he is so worried.
Liang Chuan got up and went out.
The servants looked at Liang Chuan maliciously, pretending to be frightened on their faces. In fact, Liang Chuan could see at a glance that they all had smiles hidden in their eyes, ready to laugh at his own joke.
An unknown fire ignited from the bottom of Liang Chuan's heart. Why is the tree trying to be quiet but the wind is still blowing? What kind of peace of mind do these people have? They have to hit their balls against rocks when they have nothing to do. Isn't this a brain defect?
Do they really think they can't fix them? If you are not afraid of death, just come!
Liang Chuan said coldly: "Give details?"
These servants told the story of Nian Xiu being detained by the gambling house. Liang Chuan was even more furious when he heard this. Damn it, this birdman was asked to buy rouge and gouache, but he took the money and actually went gambling!
Is there hair on your gallbladder?
Liang Chuan breathed out from his nostrils, glanced around everyone, and asked: "Has anyone dared to detain people from our Ding residence before?"
Servants, look at me and look at you. I have never thought about this problem, but who dared to have trouble with the Ding family?
"Hui Liang Guanshi, no!"
Liang Chuan said: "Very good, let the brothers bring the guy and follow me to ask for someone!"
A group of people were armed with guns and sticks. These were guys who were usually kept in the mansion to guard homes and homes. The servants of the Ding mansion were walking murderously on Bianjing Street. The citizens all recognized the clothes of the Ding family and were afraid to avoid them. Not as good as Liang Chuan, who walked at the front with his head held high and his momentum even more impressive.
The gambling house where Nian Xiu was detained is located on the south side of Majing Street, which is the same street as Ding Mansion. On the south side of Majing Street, there are all kinds of fireworks and willows, and all kinds of enjoyment are available, showing off all the glitz of Bianjing. One of the busiest places in Bianjing.
Gambling has generally been banned in the past dynasties. Under the feet of the Bianjing Emperor, there are two big words "GAM" written on the door curtain of this gambling house, like a gold-swallowing giant beast, absorbing wealth from all directions.
Liang Chuan took a look and saw that the gambling house was about three stories high, with pavilions and pavilions. There were four big characters written on it, "Drunk Gold Gambling House."
Lively and extravagant?
The gamblers who came out of the door were all dejected, while those who went in had a morbid fanaticism on their faces, as if they wanted to win back the money they had invested in the gambling house.
When the thugs from the gambling house saw Liang Chuan and his men approaching menacingly, they immediately called for people to come out. Liang Chuan flew up and kicked the leading thug away, and said coldly: "Where are our people from Ding Mansion?"
This kick completely gave the servants brought by Liang Chuan a lot of insight. They originally thought that Liang Chuan was a character who rose to power through cleverness, but they didn't expect that this force is worth such an explosion. The Drunken Gold Gambling House is not an ordinary small gambling house, and the prospects are With deep financial resources and huge resources, he beat up the other party's people without asking, so it must be Master Ding's. . . ?
The thugs were shocked. Seeing that the people in Ding Mansion were so domineering, they all made way for them.
Liang Chuan didn't bother with these little ones and went straight into the gambling house.
Since ancient times, gambling houses and casinos have always been on guard against someone making trouble. If things get serious, the gambling house will be open in vain.
Liang Chuan led people into the gambling house, and looked around the gambling house like a king. There were countless gambling tables inside, and it was noisy and noisy. There were endless shouts and shouts, roars, curses, and ecstasy. Various voices were intertwined, and all kinds of life were displayed. dripping.
In the corner, Nian Xiu was beaten to a pulp and tied to a pillar in the corner with his life or death unknown. Why did Liang Chuan feel familiar with this scene?
Most of the people were immersed in the sea of gambling and could not extricate themselves. Only a few people who were still sober turned to look at Liang Chuan.
Something exciting is about to happen.
A young man suddenly walked out from behind the screen with the big word "GAM" written in the middle. He had a stern face. Although he was young, he exuded a temperament that had experienced the warmth and warmth of human nature, which was obviously acquired through long experience.
The most important thing is that when Liang Chuan looked at this face, an extremely familiar feeling emerged. This face is just like that of He Baozheng from Fengshan Helu. He has a lot of silver threads on his temples. The difference is that he is young and strong, just like He Baozheng twenty years ago. Similar.
How could there be such similar people in the world?
It’s no accident!
He Baozheng said that his son Chunsheng had been away from home for more than ten years and had never been back once. If the family had not made money and had hope in these years, the old couple would have been sick!
His eyes were cold as he looked at Liang Chuan and glanced at the group of scoundrels behind Liang Chuan. These dogs and cats dared to come to his own territory to wreak havoc.
The muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched, and he spoke slowly: "It seems that the uncle should be an important figure in the Ding family, but his clothes are a little different, and his appearance is even more unfamiliar. I don't know his name?"
Liang Chuan's clothes have not yet been tailor-made, and the stewards of Ding Mansion also have their own attire, just like Cai Men's clothes.
At this time, Liang Chuan was wearing the same coarse linen clothes he wore in Qingyuan. They were simple and plain, but in the eyes of these people wearing silk and silk, they looked particularly shabby.
Liang Chuan did not answer his question, but directly expressed the doubts in his heart, and asked his late-born son in a warm and greeting tone: "Is your surname He?"
He Baozheng's biggest concern now is his son. He has made money and his daughter's life is stable. He Lu's life is the happiest in hundreds of years. However, the important matter of continuing the family lineage has become a problem for them. Heart disease.
Liang Chuan once promised the old man that he would help him find his son one day if possible.
When this young man heard the word He, his body felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He almost forgot his own name. How could this person from Ding Mansion know his last name?
It is said that Deputy Prime Minister Ding has extraordinary abilities. Has he already checked all his details?
Thinking of this, the expression of the young man surnamed He became even more gloomy. His past was too difficult in the past. He didn't want to recall this past event anyway, but this person just came to expose his scars!
The young man surnamed He suppressed his shock and said: "You have admitted the wrong person. My name is Qing Ji, not He!"
Qingji's expression just now couldn't be hidden from Liang Chuan's eyes. The more he concealed it, the more Liang Chuan became convinced of this boy's identity. If he wasn't a boy from He Baozheng's family, his surname would be that of He Baozheng!
Liang Chuan didn't argue with him, he wanted to cover it up and said to himself: "He Baozheng misses you very much, my aunt misses you too, and your sister is living a very comfortable life now."
Liang Chuan's words brought out all the past events and memories buried deep in his heart without reservation. When he walked to Bianjing with bare feet and fought for such a large country in a sea of blood, he never went back, never He returned home in fine clothes without showing off, because his father hated his gambling the most. No matter how much money he made, he would never look at his own money due to his stubborn temper.
Liang Chuan may understand a little bit of Qingji's psychology. After the black prime minister Yao Guangxiao helped Zhu Di gain the world, he became a very popular minister. However, when he returned home, he even avoided his only relative and sister, and all the glory in the world was added to him. There is no one to share with him, so there is no difference between it and nothing.
Sometimes in life, you work so hard not for your own enjoyment, but for the people around you.
Liang Chuan kept talking about the affairs of their He family, and Qingji's forehead showed thick veins, and he shouted: "You Ding family are so bullying. You are willing to bet in our drunken gambling house but not admit defeat, and you dare to do it to me?" Are you making trouble because you are relying on the power of the Ding family to oppress good people like us?"
Qingji said to the left and right: "Bring that guy up!"
Nian Xiu used to have a pretty face, but now he was beaten to the point where there was no intact spot on his face, his eyes were swollen like walnuts, all his teeth were missing, his nose and mouth were dripping with blood, and he looked like he was going to die.
The servants never expected that the people in this gambling house would be so ruthless and dare to do such cruel things to people in their own house. The crowd was furious, but they were also afraid that they really had some backing, otherwise how could they dare to slap someone in the face like this?
If you want to survive in Bianjing, even a small stall selling pears must be covered by someone, otherwise they will be ripped apart by others. Not to mention that this kind of bottomless pit that attracts money, the forces behind it are invisible to only discerning people, and no one dares to think of it.
Liang Chuan saw that Nian Xiu was beaten like a pig's head, and he felt quite happy. You used the damn money to gamble without your consent. Did you want to show off your authority after gambling, so you behaved like this? Yes, you have to suffer.
"What did he do that you want to deal with so harshly?"
Qing Ji said cruelly: "This kid finished gambling on credit, let's forget about it, and even turned over two of my gambling tables. He deliberately wanted to make things difficult for me. Today is an auspicious day and I don't want to see blood. Otherwise, I would have let such a kid go." Reincarnated!"
Liang Chuan said: "Then you fight and fight, so this matter can't be let go?"
Qing Ji said: "This is to even out his own credit account. The gambling money on those two gambling tables is nearly ten thousand yuan. Can you pay it back for him...?"
Liang Chuan thought to himself, if I return your uncle, do you think I am a Kaizi or a piggy bank? He Baozheng is so upright, why are you, a little brat, so naughty? Invite your father over someday and let him treat you well!
When Bu Shou said this, his eyebrows looked so much like He Baozheng's that Liang Chuan wanted to laugh.
The servants following behind Liang Chuan instigated: "Manager Liang, don't make any noise with him. He demolished this birdhouse and brought such bad breath to our Ding family!"
"That's right! Tear it down! Tear it down!" The servants were encouraged to express their feelings. Liang Chuan glanced at these scumbags who are strong on the outside and fighting for their own power. You go ahead. I will never stop you. I won't even frown if you beat me to death or cripple me!
Liang Chuan deliberately stepped aside to see how they demolished the gambling house, but after waiting for a long time, these servants were all waiting for Liang Chuan to give orders, and no one stood out.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the drunken gambling hall was a little subtle. All parties suddenly reached a strange synchronization. Everyone stood still and their attention fell on Liang Chuan.
At that moment Liang Chuan seemed to understand something and said: "I don't like listening to what you, this young man, say. Why is it that all the losses at the gambling table are on us? Winning or losing is originally a reward from God, but now you are the only one in your family." Is it safe to win or lose?"
Qingji sneered, took a few dice from a gambling table next to him, and played with them in his hands. He now has superb gambling skills, all because he endured the humiliation in the casino, punched and kicked, and added various Bai Yan gritted his teeth and relied on the willpower to survive the sword and the sea of fire. Now that he has made a name for himself in the gambling world, he dare not say that he will be generous, and he is still a little sure of winning a bet.
"Manager Liang, you can give it a try, but let's be cautious about winning or losing..." Qing Ji bit out the word "pessimistic" very clearly, and the implication was as if he was telling Liang Chuan, open your eyes and take a good look. You even lose your pants.
To be honest, Liang Chuan is not a professional in gambling. It can be said that he used to hate gambling the most. When he catches gamblers, dozens of people gather to gamble, and a case can last forever. Every time he sees these gamblers, he wants to eat them alive. Leaving them and letting him gamble by himself, he couldn't do it no matter what.
In full view of everyone, Liang Chuan was riding a tiger and was unable to dismount. However, Liang Chuan relied on the city wall's thick skin and said, "No, I don't like gambling. I only do things that I am sure of."
Qing Ji wanted to give Liang Chuan a blow out of his kindness, but Liang Chuan licked his face and refused. It was like a powerful fist hitting cotton, and everyone's interest suddenly waned, and they felt a little tasteless.
To gamble or not to gamble? Is it possible that this guy wants to be strong? Qingji looked at Liang Chuan's size and then looked at the person behind him. Behind him was the shadow of Ding Wei's old fox. Although Qingji also had a backer, he wouldn't necessarily dare to challenge Ding Wei if something happened. .
Liang Chuan clenched his fist and snapped his fingers several times.
Qingji's heart skipped a beat.
The scene seemed to be losing control.
He had finally created a situation, and this boy might be acquainted with his parents. It would be really bad if they let him mess with his situation.
what to do?
Qingji's hands were slightly sweaty and he said to Liang Chuan: "Well, Manager Liang, there may be some misunderstandings about this matter today, but we at Zuijinfang have our own rules. Things on the gambling table will be settled on the gambling table. This kid's mouth They say we are cheating, so let's try it. If you beat me at our table, this matter will be cleared up today. If it doesn't work, you can use the money to ransom me, otherwise No need to talk!”
Qingji's words still sounded very tough, but a discerning person could tell the difference as soon as he heard them, and Qingji relented!
Liang Chuan didn't think too much about it, and thought to himself: If he loses the bet, he doesn't blame himself. Just think that he is unlucky and explain it to Ding Wei later. People also made it very clear that if he wins, it can still happen. To solve the problem peacefully, it seems that this guy is trying to sell himself a favor, so he has to be wise!
"Okay!" Liang Chuan waved his hand, "Head Qing is really heroic. I like your way of doing things. Tell me how you want to bet!"
Qingji said: "My hand is called the ghost hand. I will put three flower cards on the table. You choose one, turn it over and wait for me to change places. If Manager Liang can guess it correctly, you will win, how about it?" "
Ghost hands? Liang Chuan had heard this word before. They neither stole nor robbed. They specialized in using hand speed and some blinding methods to deceive others. Winning or losing was in their hands. This skill is so superb that if you can guess them, you won't have to eat. You won't lose this bet even if you don't have to look at it!
