Family Has a Concubine

The man in yellow said: Cousin, this time I went south, I lost a full fifty thousand taels of silver, unfortunately all the goods fell into the water, and I owe a lot of debts! If you don't help me, our Lu family will be ruined!

Jian Sitong said, Okay, just this one time!

The man in yellow hurriedly bowed gratefully: Then I will try my best to drag those creditors, and in the next few months, I will trouble my cousin to support them.

Jian Sitong said: It won't take a few months, but in three days, you can buy that little peasant girl at Zhaixingtai. You can come back in one go!

What, what? The man in yellow was startled, But...the one who is fighting is Liao Jueyao, the number one talented girl. How could that little peasant girl win? Cousin, are you kidding me?

But Jian Sitong sneered: Believe it or not! What good does it do for me to play tricks on you? Even if I don't want to help you, I won't let you suffer such a big loss! We are cousins, and if I hurt you like this, I won't let you suffer! What good is there for your Lu family? If I harm you, I will be beaten up by my mother, and no one will suffer.

After speaking, he turned and left. The man in yellow immediately chased after him, his mouth full of words of apology.

Ye Chengxin looked at the backs of the two brothers, his face was tangled and hesitant, and finally his servant was found, and they went home together.

Jing'an Marquis Mansion——

Mrs. Sun was in the room, fidgeting with her abacus, calculating the wedding expenses and gift money and other income, the more she counted, the more she frowned, and she was bitter about Ye Licai's not-so-glamorous marriage.

Ye Chengxin walked in, sat at the table and took a sip of tea before hesitatingly said, Give me five hundred taels of silver!

Sun pulled out her abacus and didn't even raise her head: Didn't I pay you five hundred taels of silver to order wine in the morning? Why do you want more? Shouldn't you order tribute wine?

Ye Chengxin struggled for a while before saying: No, I have other uses.

What do you need five hundred taels of silver for? Mrs. Sun lowered her face, Now the family is running out of money! If there is one more money, it will naturally go to Sister Li's dowry. What else is better than Li Sister's dowry is still important? You also know that although the Zhang family agreed to the marriage, the Meng family looked down on Sister Li. If Sister Li had an extra dowry, she would be highly regarded. As long as she was in Zhang Only when the family has a firm foothold can we be better.

Hey, can you listen to me? Ye Chengxin couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted angrily: I want the five hundred taels of silver, isn't it just to add to Sister Li's dowry?

That's strange. The five hundred taels of silver came from Sister Li's dowry. Do you need to add it back?

Hey, you can talk after listening to me. Ye Chengxin took a sip of tea before saying, Today when I went to a restaurant to order wine, I met someone.

who?

That person's name is Jian Sitong!

Jian Sitong? Somewhat familiar. Sun pondered.

Ye Chengxin said mysteriously: This Jian Sitong, everyone calls him every bet!

You must win every bet? Sun was startled, and then suddenly looked confused: This person... I seem to have heard of it!

This Jian Sitong has a nickname, people say that every bet will win!

He didn't bet in the gambling house by rolling dice to buy big or small, but in the game of picking stars.

Star Reaching Terrace is the favorite place for the daughters and sons of the capital. On the first day of every month, there will be a talent gathering on the Zhaixingtai platform, where there will be discussions or competitions, and it will be very lively.

For any competition, both parties need to invite in advance.

The Star Reaching Platform is an elegant place, so of course people don't gamble, and they don't have to be polluted by the smell of copper. Even if it is to increase the atmosphere, it is just to add some elegance.

However, the Xingxingtai is famous, and many people envy this elegant place, and want to join in the fun. Some treacherous people find business opportunities and set up a game secretly. Reach for the stars.

Because the common people admire the elegance of Star Picking Terrace, it seems that the word Zhai Xing Terrace becomes elegant when the gambling money is attached to it, and it is lively and lively.

This Jian Sitong is also a capable person, he can buy it every time and win a lot of money. Later, some people who wanted money bought it from him, but gradually he stopped buying it.

Some people say that it's not that he doesn't buy it, but he secretly finds someone to buy it, in case everyone follows him and affects the odds.

Others said that he would win every gamble, which was a blessing given to him by his ancestors. If he ran out of money, his life would be shortened, so he stopped gambling.

I heard that Jian Sitong talking to one of his cousins ​​today. He said that during the first day of junior high school, there was another competition on the platform for picking stars. It seemed that a small peasant girl was challenging some top talent. Then Jian Sitong asked him to express Brother buys a small peasant girl. You will win! Ye Chengxin said.

Sun's heart moved, but he hesitated: Didn't he stop buying it? He won't play tricks on his cousin, right?

How could it be possible to play tricks! Ye Chengxin said, I heard that his cousin lost a lot of money when he went south to do business. If he doesn't pay back, the family will lose. Even if he doesn't help, he can't play tricks on others.

Sun groaned.

Ye Chengxin said again: I am also a little worried. What if he fails? So, I want to buy five hundred taels. Even if the odds are half, we can still earn five hundred taels.

Sun thought for a while before saying: Are you sure that is really Jian Sitong himself? Besides, what is the competition?

Ye Chengxin was startled: I've never seen him before, and I just heard his name today... As for the competition, I'm not sure, I'll go check it out later.

Ye Chengxin poured another cup of tea, took a rest and went out.

He sent Xiao Tear to inquire about the Xingxingtai, and he himself ran to the gate of Jian Sitong's mansion to guard him. After guarding for about half an hour, there was no one there, and he was about to go home. He didn't want to see Jian Sitong and that man. The men in yellow entered the mansion gate one after the other.

Ye Chengxin was overjoyed, he had confirmed that Jian Sitong himself was right, but he was still worried, so he gave two taels of silver to the gatekeeper, and after getting a definite answer from the servant, Ye Chengxin returned home.

He walked into the house, and the servant who went out with him had already returned, and was reporting the situation of the Xingxingtai to Mrs. Sun.

The young man said: I have already inquired clearly. On the first day of this month, the competition at the Star Picking Platform was to play chess. A small peasant girl who came out of nowhere in the valley was invited to fight. The one who challenged was Liao Jueyao, the eldest granddaughter of Liao Shoufu. Then Miss Liao is very famous, she is known as Daqi Dayi talented girl, and she is also a disciple of Mrs. Jingdu, she has outstanding chess skills, she is the number one chess player among the girls in the capital.

Sun frowned, then Jian Sitong asked to buy a small peasant girl, can she really win? Coincidentally seeing Ye Chengxin walking in, Sun said, Have you found out?

Ye Chengxin nodded, walked to the table and sat down: I'm not bad, the sixth son of the Marquis of Huaiyang. His cousin, his aunt, is the Lu family, one of the most wealthy businessmen in our capital. The Lu family has been prosperous for more than ten years. , but it has not been very prosperous in recent years.”

I hope you will support and collect a lot??
