"Xiao Monk is still a monk after all, so... you have to be more restrained in some of the small movements on your hands."

Shang Xu let out a low laugh and asked, "Little Master, what have I done?"

Yuan He closed his eyes slightly, lowered his eyes to look at her troublesome hand, pursed his lips and did not reply, but after staring for a moment, he couldn't help but said, "Cover your hands, just cover your hands, what are you touching?"

Shang Xu had regret in his eyes, "Well, it's snowing outside, do you want to go take a look?"

Yuan He became serious and let out a deep hum. After a moment, he said: "I need to cover my hands."

He didn't want to cover his hands, it was because it was cold outside, and it would definitely be uncomfortable if his hands were kept frozen.

Yuan He thought this with peace of mind, and joy flashed across his brows.

"Little master has become squeamish."

"..."

Yuan He walked out of the room with her, and happened to hear her words again. He wanted to retort that he was not cowardly, but his eyes fell on the clenched hand, and he swallowed the word "no coquettish" silently.

The snow wasn't very heavy, but it was beautiful enough. Many children ran out on the street, playing in snowball fights. It was inevitable that some of the passers-by would be hit, but they didn't say anything, just patted their clothes casually and continued walking. .

Yuan He was accidentally hit, and a child with missing front teeth ran towards him. It seemed that he was in the period of teeth replacement. He apologized abruptly, "Brother Monk, I'm sorry."

"It doesn't matter." Yuan He smiled slightly, "Go and play, be careful next time and don't hit other people."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Monk!" The child ran away with a smile and joined the snowball fight with his friends.

Yuan He stood not far away and couldn't help but take a few more glances. He grew up in Zenshan Temple. The temple had many rules, and he had never had any snowball fights or anything like this.

Shang Xu looked at him with a dazed expression and asked, "Want to play?"

Yuan He shook his head, "I'm not a child, so why should I have a snowball fight? I just want to take a walk and take a look at the snow scene."

"Who said that only children can be human? People can maintain innocence at any time." A snowball rolled out of Shang Xu's hand at some point, "It's about to start, are you ready?"

Yuan He laughed out loud, "Where can I find someone like you? You made all the snowballs before asking me if I was ready."

This area is very wide, and there are many children, some in twos and threes, some making snowmen, and some having snowball fights. Yuanhe and the two of them are playing here and it seems very spacious.

Yuanhe squatted on the ground and started making snowballs, "Let's play a game."

Shang Xu was a little surprised that he wanted to play a game, "How about two out of three games? But little master can talk about the stakes first."

Yuan He was silent for a long time, looked up at Shang Xu, and said softly: "We'll talk about the bet later, not now." Before she could finish her words, a fairly round snowball hit her, "It only counts if it hits. I won once.”

Shang Xu raised his eyebrows, "Okay."

Then the two played a snowball fight in which you chased me, and even some children joined in, laughing loudly, their faces turned red from the cold, but they did not give up the snowballs in their hands.

At the same time, Lin Wen walked into the casino again. Recently, he was considered an acquaintance of the casino. Everyone knew him. He opened his mouth and joked, "Hey, Brother Lin is here again. How much money are you planning to lose this time?" "

Lin Wen knew that they were laughing at him, his eyebrows flashed gloomily, his fists crackled, and he said with a smile: "How can I keep losing? Everyone loses money at some point. Maybe I will turn over when the time comes." I have more money than you."

After he finished speaking, he didn't bother to listen to the comments behind him and walked in the direction he was most familiar with. The steward of the casino knew what he wanted to do when he saw him coming, "Mr. Lin, how much do you want to borrow this time?"

Lin Wen smiled flatteringly, letting the manager feel his kindness, "Uncle Wang, I would like to borrow three hundred taels."

Uncle Wang looked contemptuous for a moment, "Three hundred taels? Now you owe the casino several thousand taels of silver. Can you afford it?"

Lin Wen was made impatient by his sarcastic words. No matter how impatient he was, he had to maintain his mood. He secretly took a deep breath, licked his face and continued: "Don't worry, I will definitely pay you back, isn't it just a few thousand taels of silver?" Well, it’s all small things.”

The steward swept his clothes from top to bottom, and the disgust in his eyes was even more obvious, but he still asked someone to get three hundred taels of silver.

"I wish Mr. Lin good luck."

"Thank you." Lin Wen smiled and took the three hundred taels of silver. The muscles in his body immediately became excited, and then he started a long gamble.

Win, lose, lose, and finally owe another three hundred taels of debt.

Lin Wen left the casino almost suppressing his anger. When he came out, it was completely dark in the afternoon. When he returned home, Lin's mother greeted him worriedly, "Wen'er, why are you leaving early and coming back late recently? What did you say? thing?"

Lin Wen twitched the corner of his mouth, annoyed that his mother was approaching, pushed him away, and said harshly, "I've been chatting all day long, can I live in peace?"

……

The next day, Lin Wen got up early and hurried to the casino again. This time the casino put the date of repayment in a month and warned him that if he couldn't pay back in time, he would have to keep a leg.

These words really frightened him. He went home shivering and rummaged through the cabinets. He found that there was nothing from before, and then he staggered out again.

At some point, he ran to a mansion that was exuding his life-saving straw. His eyes were filled with red bloodshot eyes, and he couldn't see the legendary merchant girl at all.

So, after that, Lin Wen spent almost the whole day squatting in a secret place, hoping to see the person he had been thinking about for a long time.

Finally, four days later, he saw her. This was the first time he saw her. Looking at her from a distance, that face could make his heart beat faster.

She was so beautiful that he couldn't even find any words to describe how beautiful and unforgettable she was.

But the annoying thing was that there was a monk next to her, which made him extremely unhappy. He even wanted to rush up and yell at her, but finally his reason stopped him.

Not long after, he heard an emotionless voice coming from behind him, "This donor, the monk has been staring at us for a long time. Is there something wrong?"

Lin Wen turned back stiffly. He never thought that he would be discovered. He thought that he was hiding well, but now that he was discovered in person, his face would inevitably become embarrassed.

No matter how embarrassed he was, he couldn't help but glance at Shang Xu. Yuan He's eyes turned completely cold, and he pulled Shang Xu behind him, his voice sounding like an ice knife, "Donor, stare. It’s not good to look at other people, especially married people.”

Lin Wen almost thought that he had heard wrong, and lost control and said in a high-pitched voice: "What about a married woman? You, a monk, are talking nonsense. This merchant girl is not married yet. If you say this, won't you ruin other people's reputation?!"

Yuan He's smile deepened a little, and his grip on Shang Xu's wrist tightened, as if he was asking the person in front of him why he knew about her.

Shang Xu narrowed his eyes, "This young master looks very excited, but excitement is of no use."

Yuan He tightened his grip on her wrist a little more, suppressing his displeasure, "Don't talk to him." Then he stared at Lin Wen fiercely, "It's none of your business, she is mine."

Shang Xu paused slightly, as if he didn't believe he would say such a thing. What should I do? It's so cute!

She never thought that her Mumu would say such things. It was so cute!

Shang Xu only felt that the pleasure in his heart was quickly filled. Even if his wrist was tightened, there was no reaction. It would be fine if he let him hold it.

Lin Wen almost laughed because of Yuan He's shamelessness. Before he started to speak, the other party continued, like a ferocious beast occupying his own territory, on the verge of going berserk, "Don't get close to her."

After saying that, regardless of the livid Lin Wen behind him, Yuan He dragged Shang Xu away. When Lin Wen was out of sight, he let go and walked forward, not wanting to talk to her.

After walking a few steps, he noticed from the corner of his eye that the other party had not followed to coax him, so he turned around and went back with a fierce look on his face, then took her hand and walked away, sulking to himself.

Hearing the other party's uncontrollable laughter, he tilted his head and glanced, pursed his lips, and said angrily, "Don't laugh. If you laugh again, I will go back to Zenshan Temple and ignore you."

Shang Xu: "..."

She immediately stopped laughing and held Yuan He's hand instead, "I'm not laughing, I'm just happy. Do you know what your behavior just now looked like? Like a jealous young man, with a sour smell all over his body."

Yuan He's face turned red, "That's nonsense." He paused and continued to add, "I didn't." He paused for a while and looked seriously into Shang Xu's eyes, "I didn't. Don't talk nonsense."

He was very afraid that Shang Xu would discover his little thoughts, and he would try his best to deny it if he could, and his voice became more and more dull, "I just don't, but if you keep looking at him, I will continue to go back to my Zenshan Temple to practice Taoism for the rest of my life. I don’t even see you.”

Yuan He had a certain degree of possessiveness towards Shang Xu. Of course, at this time, he didn't know that this kind of thing was possessiveness.

He only knew that he really didn't like people staring at her all the time, and he would get angry.

Shang Xu looked at his dull side face. It was clear that he used to be calm and cold, but now he was no different from a puppy that needed to be petted. After getting closer to her, his mood became closer and closer to that of Qing He.

She touched his head and said warmly: "I didn't look at him, only at you. I don't know who he is."

Hearing her explanation, Yuanhe opened his mouth, scratched her palm with his fingertips, and whispered: "I'm not making trouble unreasonably, don't dislike me."

Shang Xu smiled fondly, "You are the only one who dislikes me, how can I dislike you."

Yuan He explained awkwardly, "I don't mind..."

……

Since Lin Wen last saw Shang Xu, he often came to the secret place outside the gate of Shang Mansion to guard. It was freezing cold, so he kept guard for several days without success, so he had to go back in despair.

Unexpectedly, he heard the bad news when he got home. His father suddenly owed ten thousand taels of silver from the casino...

Lin Wen's lips trembled with anger, and he savagely grabbed Lin Shengming's clothes. His voice was full of sharpness, which hurt his eardrums, "Dad! Why are you going to the casino?! You still owe me one million!"

Lin Shengming was treated like this by his son and pulled him away. His eyes were filled with red bloodshot eyes that he had not rested well. He said coldly, "Don't think that I don't know what's going on with you recently. I have to go to that casino every day." , no wonder we don’t want to do the work at home, no wonder the merchants don’t want to buy our things, it’s all because of a worthless thing like you!”

The more Lin Shengming talked, the angrier he became, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what to eat and drink now."

Lin Wen glared at him with a dark look in his eyes, "You blame my son?! What can I do? Now that I have met the young lady from the Shang Mansion, my future father..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Shengming changed his dissatisfied attitude and now looked at his son happily and lovingly, "Wen'er, what dad said is harsh. No matter what happens, dad is still your dad. How can father and son stay overnight?" hatred."

Lin Wen let out a slight snort in his nose, "Of course. When I get rich in the future, how can I forget you, dad? Why don't you tell me how you owe money to the casino first?"

Lin Shengming's expression flickered slightly, but when he thought of his son's appearance in the future, he finally said, "I went out to your Uncle Li's house to buy some things a few days ago. I met a speculative talker on the way, so I followed him without hesitation."

Lin Wen sneered again, "I remember that you treasured the money, dad. I didn't expect that you would go to the casino."

Lin Shengming sneered, "Aren't you not controlling your hands? Wen'er, listen to dad and hurry up and get the young lady from the Shang Mansion. Then we won't have to be afraid of anything, and we won't have to stay in such a shabby place all the time."

Lin Wen didn't say anything anymore, or maybe he was irritable and too lazy to pay attention to Lin Shengming, so he went out to meet Zhao Yu for a drink.

He accidentally got drunk and vomited out some of his dirty thoughts, which scared him so much that he immediately woke up.

He carefully observed Zhao Yu's expression and found that there was nothing unusual about him. However, what he said shocked him.

"Do you know the lady from Shang Mansion?!"

Zhao Yu drank a large gulp of a glass of wine and then nodded, "We know her. In the early years, my father was a doctor. He and my father lived in the mansion for half a month to take care of her health."

Lin Wen quickly thought about how to contact Shang Xu through him, and asked as if he was caring about a good friend, "Then why have you lost contact now?"

To say it is a relationship is better to say it is prying.

Zhao Yu was drunk and said, "There is a connection. Miss Shang will hold a birthday party in half a month. Many people will attend. I also received an invitation."

Lin Wen's eyes lit up instantly, and he took advantage of his drunkenness to get the invitation, "Brother Zhao brought an invitation today. I have never seen an invitation from the Shang Mansion. You also know that the Shang Mansion is rich in Lian City." As for Party A, I am indeed extremely curious."

Zhao Yu burst out laughing, then patted him on the shoulder, "Why not? You are my brother, how could I not show it to you? If you want to go, I can take you in to see the grandeur of the Shang Mansion. , I can’t forget it to this day.”

"It just so happened that I received an invitation today." He took out a red invitation and placed it on the table. "Look, even the invitation is made very grand, isn't it?"

Lin Wen's eyes were almost sharp, and his hands were itching to grab it. He didn't want to listen to Zhao Yu's so much nonsense at this time, but he still wanted to let him take him in, so naturally he couldn't fall out because the gain would outweigh the loss.
