Chapter 19(1/2)
"Brother, Xiao'er will go home first, okay?" Wang Xiao said to Wang Zhen.
Wang Zhen was listening with pleasure, and couldn't help but said blankly: "Why don't you listen for a little longer... No, play for a little longer?"
Today's poem will be so interesting. Everyone scolds Zhang Heng together. Ha, Jinshi is not so high and mighty. Although Wang Zhen did not participate in the speech, she felt happy in her heart. She felt that she had not been so happy for a long time after losing the exam.
"I want to go back first." Wang smiled.
Wang Zhen responded: "Okay, Mi Qu, you can send your third brother home."
Ruyun raised her head and looked at Wang Xiao, feeling quite reluctant to let go of the third son of the Wang family, although he was silly, but he was good-looking and well-behaved. He left today, and he probably won't come back again in the future.
"Goodbye, sister." Wang Xiao was not so reluctant, but rather happy.
I can finally take my money and spend it outside.
However, the next moment something happened that made him want to cry.
Two hundred taels of silver, one hundred taels were borrowed by Wang Zhen!
The reason was that several princes asked Wang Zhen to get together tomorrow, but they didn't want to disturb Fan Xueqi. Wang Zhen decided to do the work on her own without saying a word. As a result, she didn't have any money with her, so she asked Wang Xiao to borrow a hundred taels from others.
Go and book a venue.
The truth is that this group of failed candidates plan to continue to speak ill of Zhang Heng tomorrow, so Fan Xueqi cannot be taken advantage of again, and Wang Zhen will be taken advantage of. Wang Xiaoji is a little aggrieved.
The money I earned through hard work... I didn't even spend the money I cheated, but my rich brother borrowed me a hundred taels.
It's great to be rich. If you have money, you can go out without any money and borrow money from your younger brother casually?——
"Let's go play on West Fourth Street." Wang Xiao said to Mi Qu just after leaving Fangting.
Mi Qu then asked: "Third Young Master, want to go to Sixi Street Teahouse to listen to stories?"
"Hey, how do you know?" Wang Xiao asked curiously.
Mi Qu felt a little proud. It turned out that the third young master had the same hobbies as him, he liked to listen to people tell stories...
Mi Qu is not named Mi. He was sold since he was a child and has been in the Wang family for as long as he can remember.
‘Miqu’ is the distiller’s mother made from rice and is used for wine making. It is also the name given to him by Wang Zhen.
Wang Zhen's former servant was called Mao Zao, and he was quite talented in reading. Wang Zhen returned the deed of betrayal to him and gave him a sum of money to return to his hometown and take the imperial examination. Sure enough, he passed the examination as a scholar.
After that, Mi Qucai became Wang Zhen's servant. Unlike Jiuzhao, he had no ideals. He felt sleepy whenever he touched a book. He just wanted to follow Wang Zhen and live a life of confusion like this.
Mi Qu's only hobby is listening to books.
He usually doesn't go to West Fourth Street to listen.
West Fourth Street is too far, and there is a storyteller teahouse near the Wang family mansion.
But which teahouse on West Fourth Street is the best, Mi Qu knows very well.
The teahouse is called Cao Muxuan. The lobby is full of people. The storyteller above is telling "Jing Zhong Zhuan"
Mi Qu was familiar with the recipe, so he took Wang Xiao to find a place to cook it, and asked for a pot of West Lake Longjing.
Wang Xiao then took out his one hundred taels of silver notes.
The waiter's mouth twitched, and he immediately became embarrassed, muttering: "Sir, I really can't find a small shop."
Mi Qu quickly took a bunch of copper coins and handed them over, then smiled at Wang and said: "The uncle specially asked to take good care of the third master, how can he let the third master pay for it."
Wang Xiao thought to himself: "He is so generous, so don't lend me that hundred taels."
The two sat down, Wang Xiao took the seat, facing the storyteller, and Mi Qu sat sideways, turning to look at the storyteller.
"Last time I wrote about Yue Peng raising a gun to challenge Xiao Liang Wang..."
Mi Qu stared at the storyteller, listening very seriously, and made a few oohs and aahs from time to time.
He was afraid that the third young master would be lost, so he deliberately held the third young master's clothes with one hand.
Once the book was written, the sky was dark and the earth was dark. I don’t know how long it took. I took a breath of cold air and sighed: "Grandpa Yue is really amazing."
"Third Young Master, what do you think?"
Mi Qu turned around and looked, shocked to the point of being stunned.
But he saw that he was pinching the corner of an old man's clothes, and Wang Xiao had already disappeared...——
Prosperous gambling house.
As its name suggests, the square is extremely prosperous.
There are many ways to play in the gambling room, and they are divided into different areas. But as soon as you enter the door, the gambling table in the middle is the simplest open size.
The simpler, the more attractive it is.
A group of people surrounded the gambling table, shouting and shouting.
Everyone has concentration on their faces. This desktop is a world, their rivers, lakes and seas, thrilling, and their lives.
"big big big!"
"Little! Little! Little!"
Amidst the shouting, a man and a woman were whispering.
They are both fifteen or sixteen years old, with outstanding looks and unusual clothes. The man is Qin Xuance, and the woman is Qin Xiaozhu.
"Is this really possible? I'm very confused." Qin Xuance said in a low voice.
He was dressed luxuriously, but instead of wearing a wide-sleeved gown, he wore an arrow-sleeved shirt. He looked quite neat, and he was obviously a warrior.
"Why not? What do you think is the problem?" Qin Xiaozhu replied. She was also wearing men's clothes and tied up her hair, looking a bit sassy.
Qin Xuance said: "We have lost a lot so far. This is a big problem."
While talking, the dice cup was opened.
"big!"
"We lost again." Qin Xuance wailed and asked softly: "What should I do? I have no money."
Qin Xiaozhu frowned and cursed: "Shacai, what's the problem? Could it be that his dice are fake?"
"It's not impossible." Qin Xuance said casually.
Qin Xiaozhu shouted to the counter where the dice was rolling: "Show me the dice."
The counter smiled and said: "It's not like these two guests have never bet correctly. Now that you have lost money, what does it have to do with the dice?"
Qin Xiaozhu said: "In that case, what does it matter if you show me the dice?"
"If you two guests don't want to place bets, please leave."
"You showed it to me before I placed the bet." Qin Xiaozhu said.
"Where do we get the money to place bets?" Qin Xuance became anxious upon hearing this and whispered in her ear.
"Shut up." Qin Xiaozhu scolded.
"Sir, please don't delay our other customers." The counter said with a smile, "It's true that you are customers, but there is no reason to pay at the end and want to win back at the front? Right?"
This is his third joke. After three jokes, if he doesn't know what is good and what is bad, he will be rude.
Qin Xiaozhu said: "Who knows if your dice are fake?"
The face of the counter turned cold, and he smiled at you three times, but it's not over yet. This is a toast and a penalty drink.
"If someone is making trouble, get them out!"
In an instant, eight big men filed out.
Qin Xiaozhu put his hands on his hips and cursed: "We lost so much money here, how dare you do this to us?"
Just as he was talking, he saw a young man walking in and asked loudly: "Is anyone here?"
The young man looked at it intently, as if he was startled, and said to himself: "Well, there are so many people. Hello everyone, is the person in charge here?"
The counter turned around and saw that this young man had an outstanding appearance and unusual clothes. He looked like the two old men, a man and a woman.
"Are you in the same group?"
The young man was stunned: "What kind of group are they from?"
Qin Xiaozhu turned around and looked, only to see that he looked extremely handsome, but the expression on his face was extremely innocent. She found it interesting, suddenly frowned, and asked Qin Xuance in a low voice: "Look... is it him? Chun
Ning that..."
"How would I know……"
Qin Xiaozhu curled his lips and shouted loudly: "Yes, the three of us are together, what do you think of it?!"
Sure enough, these three people didn't look like they were here to gamble. The cashier thought for a moment, raised his hand and shouted: "Hit me!"
Gambling chaos immediately led to chaos.
Qin Xuance and Qin Xiaozhu were not afraid, and actually had a great time fighting with the men in the gambling house.
There were gusts of punches and the scene was a bit scary.
In the chaos, a big man hit the motionless young man who had just entered the door with his fist...
