bastard little man

"Haha, 930 taels." An Qiyu was so happy that he threw himself on Qiu Shizhen, and Qiu Shizhen also caught him steadily. Most of the sons and daughters feel that it hinders their morality.

"Let's go" Qiu Shizhen was ready to call Xiao Yezi and the others to go together in high spirits.

"Wait a minute," An Qiyu whispered in Qiu Shizhen's ear, "You'd better give me some money."

Qiu Shizhen looked at him with an unreasonable look, he had never heard of these rules before winning money in the gambling house.

"Oh, just listen to me, okay?" An Qiyu knew that spectators are the worst people to mess with and the most careless. If you give them a little money, they will flatter you. If you don't take anything away, then They might even attack you.

Qiu Shizhen thought for a while, and although he was a little skeptical, he still distributed 'Xiyin' to each of the more than 100 people present, "Let me be clear, only those who are present now will be issued, and those who come later will not be counted."

As soon as these words came out, those who originally wanted to go back and call people did not dare to move, for fear of being misunderstood as later.

Many old people and children got half a tael of silver, and they were so happy that they didn't know what to do.

Liu Rubao looked at his father Liu Landlord with an unhappy face and smiled honestly, he will definitely sleep in the thatched cottage tonight, he and the son-in-law of the Sun family lost almost 500 taels each.

The door-to-door son-in-law stopped them with a gloomy face, "If you win money, you want to leave? How can there be such a rule?"

"What do you mean?" Liu Wentian was the first to be unconvinced. Brother Yu gave his relatives an extra tael of "hot money". There is no reason for his relatives to be bullied by others, let alone others. Son-in-law of the village.

"That's right, I can't afford to lose, this is"

"Don't gamble if you can't afford to lose, it's a matter of winning or losing"

"A big old man, don't be so coy in doing things"

……

This is something An Qiyu could have expected. If Qiu Shizhen is unwilling to pay these small sums, it may not be easy for him to go out today after winning so much. The crowd may even keep him behind. After getting some money, he was naturally willing to speak well of Qiu Shizhen.

"Father Liu Rubao, you can't let people win by opening this casino?" Mrs. Ye asked, pointing at Landlord Liu, because of her seniority.

"What's the matter?" Landlord Liu quickly apologized. Qiu Shizhen is An Qiyu's husband, and he is also a relative of their Liujia Village, not to mention that Qiu Shizhen is Qiu Yuanwai's precious son. No matter what, he would not be here The above is not wrong.

Surrounded by them, they walked out of Liujia Village. On the way back to the town, An Datong pulled An Qiyu and asked in a low voice, "Your husband needs to change this habit. You won today, but you have to take it easy if you lose nine out of ten bets." Son, you husband don't say persuasion, but also fool around with you, what are you talking about!"

"Understood dad," An Qiyu said with a smile and ran away.

"This kid, I can't say anything about him now!" An Datong complained to Liu Cui, "I just can't get used to this kid, he's going to go to heaven if he gets used to it!"

When they arrived at Suiyang Pavilion, A Ling and two servants were waiting there. After Qiu Shizhen and An Qiyu got into the carriage, A Ling drove the carriage towards the town.

"There are more than 800 taels left, what should I buy for your nephew at that time?" An Qiyu carried a pile of silver from Qiu Shijie, so heavy that he couldn't hold it with both hands.

"I'm worthless, I can't afford you even if I give you money." Seeing him like that, Qiu Shizhen shook his head and said with emotion.

His little face was flushed, and An Qiyu forced himself to carry a large bag of silver on his body, "Huh" it's comfortable to have money, and it's comfortable to look at.

"Or let's buy the same thing together," Qiu Shizhen suggested.

"What's the difference?"

"It's not good to give money directly. It's not good to buy gifts for more than 400 taels per person. You can't buy anything noble. It's better to buy a good gift with more than 800 taels. It's a partnership between the two of us."

"That's good." An Qiyu couldn't help but nodded.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the Qiu family prepared all kinds of tea and fruit, waiting for the second lady who returned to her natal family.

The relatively ordinary carriage stopped at the side gate of Qiu's house. The butler and Qing Shan saw that only the second young lady came back with the child, but the uncle was not there.

The two father and son vaguely felt something in their hearts, and respectfully invited the second young lady to enter the door.

"It would not be a good thing if our family had an affair with the county magistrate," the butler said to himself.

"I heard that the second son-in-law not only raised a lot of young and beautiful girls, but also had an eye for a concubine from the same acquaintance's family in Fucheng."

"Don't say these things outside." The housekeeper swept his sleeves and asked Qingshan to entertain the servants who came with the second lady, all of whom were servants of the county magistrate's family.

"Second Sister" Qiu Shizhen bowed to Second Sister, An Qiyu imitated Qiu Shiru's way and respectfully called "Second Sister"

"Help me bring the fruit." Qiu Nianlu handed the one-year-old child to An Qiyu, "just to learn how to take care of the child."

An Qiyu took Guo'er in a hurry. Speaking of which, the child can walk, but he is too delicate to walk, and he still likes to be held by adults.

"Shui Shui" The child's voice is very cute, and he points his finger at the drops of water dripping from the eaves outside.

"Yes, this is water." An Qiyu hugged the child in embarrassment and looked at the scenery in the yard. Over there, the Qiu family was talking about something in the room.

"Young husband, the elder brother of the pavilion chief said he has something to do with you," the servant girl Qiaoer came over and said.

I went to the side hall with the child in my arms, and found that Zhang Pengzhu was fidgeting and drinking tea there. It looked like he had something on his mind, and looking at the happy expression on his brow, he looked like he was having a happy event.

"Brother Bamboo" An Qiyu carried the child over, Xiaoqi and Qiaoer followed behind.

"Brother Yu" Zhang Pengzhu felt embarrassed to say something when he saw the two maids following closely behind.

Let them go out first, An Qiyu hugged Guo'er and asked anxiously, "Is there any big happy event? I see you are smiling from ear to ear."

"I'm getting married," Zhang Pengzhu said happily.

Shocked by this news, the Zhang family kept saying that they wanted to find a good one for this brother, but after years of careful selection, they couldn't find the right one. Who let their family only have this one child.

"Who?"

"A boy in the next town, his family has a pharmacy, his father has long passed away, and there is a sick old mother in the family, he is the only one supporting the pharmacy for a living"

Zhang Pengzhu said with a smile, "My mother's family is close to his family, so I know him well. He is very filial. I don't know how many people praise him. My grandma's family has already taken a fancy to him. Before, my father disliked his family for being poor." , I have been dragging it until now, after thinking about it left and right, it is still suitable for him, so it is decided.”

"But doesn't your father want to marry? He is willing to marry?" An Qiyu knew that Zhang Tingchang wanted to find a wife, and he had the same idea as his father.

"When the time comes for my second child to take our Zhang family name, my father will agree not to marry me, and my grandma's family will watch over there, so I won't be afraid of their family bullying me." Zhang Pengzhu is very satisfied.

"Ah~ ah" Guo'er tugged at Zhang Pengzhu's hair with her small hands, and looked at him with bright eyes.

"It's so cute." Zhang Pengzhu teased him, "Whose child is this?"

"Qiu Shizhen's second sister's child"

"Ah, a child of the official family." Zhang Pengzhu joked, "You are the young master of the county magistrate's family."

"Not sure in the future," An Qiyu suddenly whispered to Zhang Pengzhu in a gossip.

"How to say?"

"I heard that the second son-in-law and the concubine from Tong Zhi's family are dating." An Qiyu recalled what Xiao Yezi and Qiao'er said that day.

"The eldest son of the Tongzhi family beat Qiu Shizhen and caused the Qiu family to suffer disaster, but now your uncle is dating the concubine daughter of the Tongzhi family. Isn't this embarrassing for the Qiu family?" Zhang Pengzhu Puzzled.

"That's the second thing. If the two really see each other, they might marry her."

Only the official wife can use the word "marry". If you really marry into the family, it will be a good thing for the county magistrate and fellow magistrates.

It's just that in this way, Qiu Nianlu's situation is a bit bad. Either he will be a common wife with the concubine's concubine, or he can't even keep his wife's status. In this way, Guoer's future life will be very difficult. It's hard.

"Large families are troublesome" Zhang Pengzhu felt a headache thinking about these things.

"It's not just rich families, all men are like this." An Qiyu thought self-destructively, "If my child in the future becomes a bastard, it's better not to be born. Birth will also harm this child."

"Nonsense!" Zhang Pengzhu scolded in a low voice, "There are still maids listening outside, not to mention, this thing also depends on tricks."

"What do you mean?" An Qiyu humbly asked for advice.

"You can see that there are many people who dote on their concubines and destroy their wives throughout the ages, and there are also those who dote on their wives alone. In the final analysis, it still depends on your ability. Be ruthless and don't leave any excuses. There is nothing that can't be solved..."

Zhang Pengzhu talked about his experience with An Qiyu for almost half an hour.

"How do you know so much?" An Qiyu asked admiringly.

Zhang Pengzhu was a little ashamed, "Actually, I don't understand either. I read these from the scriptures, and I haven't practiced them."

Second Miss stayed at home for two days, just after leaving the Qiu family, the Qiu family ushered in Third Miss again.

"Xi'er" Lin Xiu held the hand of the third daughter and her eyes were red. She had three daughters in her life. The eldest daughter is very strong, and the second daughter is stubborn. The third daughter is the most favored by her.

"Brother-in-law" Qiu Shizhen took An Qiyu and the third brother-in-law to salute, and they had two five or six-year-old children beside them.

The family that Miss Qiu Jiasan married was the worst among the three sisters. It was just an ordinary family, and the third brother-in-law was pleasing to the eye. Qiu Yuanwai and his wife thought that the third daughter was docile, so marrying an ordinary family would be the most suitable for her.

"Xiao Shi, where is the jade pendant on your body?" The third sister was filled with emotion when she looked at her brother who had grown up a lot, but... where did the jade pendant she begged for him go?

"I accidentally broke it last time." Qiu Shijie pointed to the yard over there, "I kept it in a jade box."

"You, you are so handy, the third sister will ask for another one for you next time, no, I will ask you both for a protective jade pendant." The third sister looked at An Qiyu who liked it very much. With a clever appearance, it is also suitable for his younger brother's cheerful temperament.

An Qiyu on the side was a little embarrassed, the jade pendant was deliberately broken by him on the night of the wedding, now thinking about it, he felt a little sorry for Third Sister's kindness.
