Chen Ming's eyes turned red when he lost, "Not to mention winning money, all the money for buying a house was spent on it."
Originally there was only one hundred taels short, but now there is still nine hundred taels short.
Li Si also cried sadly: "Brother, I also lost five hundred taels."
Isn't that right? Li Si bought with him and won at first, but then he kept losing.
"Brother, don't worry. People make mistakes and horses make mistakes. This is a normal phenomenon. At the beginning, you won five or six hundred taels. If we stopped at that time, wouldn't we have made a net profit? ?”
Chen Ming stopped talking.
Indeed, I was just too greedy and thought I could win more money.
"Brother, let's not be too greedy next time. If you win money, stop it. Do you think that's okay?"
Chen Ming shook his head: "I won't come. I lost all the money I paid to buy the house. I don't know how to explain it to my wife and daughter when I go back."
Li Si was anxious: "Brother, I feel guilty for losing money today. Otherwise, I will lend you some principal, and you can pay it back to me, okay? Let's talk about the house. I will sell the house." Here it is, even if you don’t give me the money now, it’s still yours. Don’t worry.”
"really?"
Li Si nodded: "Real, more real than pearls."
He took out a two-hundred-tael silver note from his arms and said, "Brother, let's have a little money. You take me with you. We'll stop after we win the money."
Chen Ming took it and said, "Let's go in."
When he came out again, Chen Ming made a hundred taels.
He returned the two hundred taels of silver notes to Li Si, but Li Si confiscated them and said, "Brother, it's all my fault that you lost money. I'll put this banknote on you first. When you win back your money, you can pay it back to me."
This brother is so generous!
Chen Ming already trusted Li Si wholeheartedly.
"We just have less money. If we had more money, two thousand taels, we could win one thousand taels!" Li Si clicked his tongue.
Chen Ming said nothing, but his heart was in turmoil.
The two separated.
Looking at Chen Ming's leaving figure, Li Si stepped into the gambling house.
He is a frequent visitor here and a secret recommendation of the gambling house.
Secret recommendation is a lingo in gambling houses.
It specializes in tricking rich people into gambling in gambling houses, and the money they lose is divided equally.
The people from the gambling house took over the eight hundred taels and five hundred taels that Chen Ming had just won, "The five hundred taels are yours, take it. Take half of the eight hundred taels for each person."
Li Si smiled and hid the banknote in his arms: "Thank you."
"Li Si, what you caught is a big fish!"
"What a big fish? This is a very big fish." Li Si said: "He also has a Zhuangzi on hand. That Zhuangzi can sell for at least a thousand taels. Just wait, I will make a fortune after finishing this job. Get rich.”
"Haha. Now that you've become rich, treat me to a drink!"
"Can not forget you."
When Li Si left the gambling house, he saw a man wearing a curtain opposite him nodding at him, then turned and walked into the alley.
Seeing no one around, Li Si followed.
All of this is under Xu Wanning's control.
There are also some people who are also within the control of Xu Wanning's plan.
"Butler Cui's health should be restored, right?"
"Okay, you should be back soon." It was Aunt Qiu who spoke.
Since she followed Xu Wanning, Xu Wanning moved her into his house to serve her, and her monthly salary was half more than before.
Cui Rongfa was beaten to a bloody pulp on the day Cui Lu got married. He spent this period of time at home recuperating from his injuries. Counting the days, it was almost over.
"I heard that Aunt Qiu has a good relationship with Butler Cui. Aunt Qiu, please go check on Butler Cui for me. I'll help him ask the Marquis for help and let Cui Lian out."
Xu Wanning has this confidence.
After all, this request is not too much. She is the God of Wealth in the Hou Mansion. If she speaks, Cui Lu will definitely listen to her.
"Young madam, you are kind-hearted. I don't know what Cui Lian committed and was imprisoned for so long." Aunt Qiu said with emotion.
This thing is so well hidden!
Except for those few people in the Hou Mansion, no one knew about it. They only said that Cui Lian had done something wrong and the Marquis wanted to punish him.
"Let him come back as soon as possible and help auntie. After all, auntie is a novice and still doesn't understand many things. With him here, auntie can get started faster."
Aunt Qiu responded with a smile: "Young lady is really kind-hearted and considers my aunt. I will go and have a look now."
"By the way, I went to see how things are going in Yannian Courtyard. Aunt Xia is your good sister. Madam is not in the house now. She must be the most worried. Let her go to the prison to see Madam more often. After all, Madam will still come back. . Even if she is in prison, she should know about the affairs of the Marquis Mansion!"
"This slave knows."
Aunt Qiu took the order and went.
Qingxing was puzzled: "Miss, madam, can she still come back?"
"I can't come back." Xu Wanning said quietly.
"Then you..." Qingxing didn't understand.
"Now Madam Side is the housekeeper in the mansion. If Madam knew about it, she would probably be furious. Although she is not in the Marquis Mansion, she must have cultivated a lot of confidants in the Mansion over the years, right? She asked Aunt Xia to bring a few words. When she comes back, there are many people who help her in times of need. We can't do anything, but Madam can."
Qingxing suddenly realized.
"Miss, you are using your strength to gain strength."
Du Shi, who is in prison, will definitely jump over the wall and do something after hearing Nanny Xia's report.
The relationship between her and Cui Lu is now like a hemp rope that has been worn down to a thin thread. The more she works, the faster the hemp rope breaks.
Once the relationship between husband and wife breaks up, it is the beginning of the disintegration of the Hou family.
In the previous life, Mrs. Du and Cui Lu had a quarrel. When Mrs. Du was complaining to Cui Yunfeng, she said some inexplicable words, which happened to be heard by Xu Wanning.
He said that if that matter happened, Cui Lu's head would be in danger.
But when Xu Wanning pricked up her ears to listen, she was interrupted by Cui Yunfeng.
Later, Xu Wanning also inquired secretly, but couldn't find out anything.
Perhaps, this time was the trigger for learning about that matter.
Yannianyuan.
Aunt Xia was very happy for Aunt Qiu's arrival, but Aunt Qiu asked her to see Madam,
After listening to what Aunt Qiu said, Grandma Xia went to the prison with some food.
After bribed the jailer, when she walked to the room where Du was imprisoned, she almost didn't recognize the people inside.
However, in just ten days, the Du family lost a lot of weight, looking as haggard as a peasant woman in her fifties.
"Madam." Aunt Xia called, "This slave is here to see you."
Du Shi raised her head and saw Aunt Xia, "Did the Marquis ask you to come?"
Aunt Xia paused and shook her head: "My servant is here. She was already here, but in the house..." She hesitated to speak.
"What's going on in the house?" Du Shi pricked up her ears.
Aunt Xia thought about it again and again, and finally said, "The Marquis has given the stewardship of the Marquis Mansion to Mrs. Side."
"What!" After hearing this, Mrs. Du almost lost her temper.
"I was suffering and suffering in prison, while he was outside trying to please other women, and even gave that bitch the stewardship of the Marquis Mansion. I'm not dead yet!" Mrs. Du gritted her teeth, her eyes red.
Aunt Xia said: "Madam, you still have to find a way to return to the Hou Mansion as soon as possible. I have been thinking about you every day and have wanted to come here for a long time, but Madam Chi said that she should be familiar with all the chores in the Hou Mansion, so she didn't allow you to do so. This slave has come out of the house. I finally waited until today. If this slave had come to see you earlier, you wouldn’t, wouldn’t..."
Du Shi had been in prison for some time. She didn't have enough to eat or sleep well, and her whole body looked old and she looked completely different from before.
