rebirth first official

Even the whole day of New Year's Eve, Gao Zhanming and Li Jingruo spent reviewing official documents.Originally, Gao Zhanming thought that the accumulated affairs would only be completed around the Lantern Festival, but with Li Jingruo's help, the efficiency has been greatly improved. The sequels are all back, maybe around the seventh day of the lunar new year, everything can be done, and he can take a few days off before the Lantern Festival to let him breathe a sigh of relief.

In a blink of an eye, it will be New Year's Eve.

On the day of New Year's Eve, Gao Zhanming originally wanted to continue working during the day, but Li Jingruo refused. He rushed into the study and snatched Gao Zhanming's pen: "It's the last day of this year anyway, let's go out for a stroll."

Gao Zhanming was helpless: "Where should we go shopping?"

Li Jingruo said: "Let's go for a walk on the street. If you go out again, it will be next year. Things are different."

Gao Zhanming was funny, but he still dropped the paper in his hand, took a coat and put it on: "Let's go."

The streets are quite lively. Some children who are studying abroad and working abroad take advantage of the Chinese New Year to go back to their hometowns, visit relatives and friends and go shopping in the streets. Don't be angry.Red chili peppers and New Year couplets are hung on the doorsteps of every household, which means that the new year will start prosperously.

The business of the horse hanging hall is not as deserted as usual, and the leisurely villagers took advantage of the morning, and finally played a couple of tricks, and they were going to close early in the afternoon and go home for the New Year.

Even some things that cannot be seen on weekdays have been put on the table.There was originally a ban on gambling in Jiazhou Prefecture, and horse tags can be played, but other domino games are explicitly prohibited.But for the Chinese New Year, all the officials went home, and no one cared, and the gambling tables were set up in front of the store.

Gao Zhanming and Li Jingruo passed a tavern in a carriage, and saw a few people gathered around a table, as if they were betting. Li Jingruo looked around curiously.

Gao Zhanming thought that Li Jingruo was planning to arrest someone, so he couldn't help but said, "You came out on New Year's Eve, so you're here to meddle in business, right?"

Li Jingruo said with a smile: "It's the New Year's Eve, let the common people live freely. If I arrest them, won't they be hated for a whole year? I'm just curious, what do the common people in Jiazhou like to gamble on?"

Gao Zhanming said, "Dice? Dominoes?"

Li Jingruo told the driver: "Go and have a look."

The coachman pulled the car aside and walked over to squeeze into the crowd.Not long after, he came back again.Li Jingruo asked him what those people were betting on, but he was embarrassed and unwilling to speak.

Gao Zhanming said: "There is nothing to say about something shameful. If you say it, we don't blame them, it's just curiosity."

The coachman looked up at Gao Zhanming, then at Li Jingruo, lowered his head, and kept his mouth tightly shut.

Seeing this, Li Jingruo wanted to get out of the car: "If you don't tell me, then I'll go and see for myself."

The coachman quickly grabbed Li Jingruo, and said with a bitter face: "My lord, my lord, you must not go!"

Li Jingruo said: "You don't want to say it, and you don't allow me to see it. Is it something outrageous?"

The coachman looked like he was about to cry, and said in a low voice: "The thing they bet on is related to... and... and the two adults."

"What?!" Gao Zhanming was surprised: "It has something to do with us?"

Li Jingruo immediately became interested, and leaned on Che Shi with great interest: "Listen, if you tell the truth, I will give you a few more red envelopes when you go back tonight. If you dare to lie a little bit, I will punish you." You are a sinful bully!"

The coachman lowered his head very low, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "They placed a bet on whether Mr. Gao belongs to Mr. Li's... face head, or Mr. Li belongs to Mr. Gao's... face head..."

Gao Zhanming and Li Jingruo, in order to refuse everyone's promise of marriage, the reputation of the broken sleeve spread all over the streets and alleys. The common people saw that these two were not close to women, and they believed the rumors even more.

Li Jingruo's identity is not known to everyone, but because of some incidents, rumors of Li Jingruo's extraordinary background spread among the people, and some people guessed that he was the superintendent who never knew the end, and some even saw Gao Zhanming by accident The scene of being respectful to Li Jingruo.Besides, Li Jingruo was as good as Gao Zhanming in terms of appearance and demeanor, and if he was called an adult, even if he was not the governor, his official position would not necessarily be lower than Gao Zhanming.Therefore, the relationship between these two people is slightly controversial among gossiping common people.This is a big Chinese New Year, pre-holiday entertainment, a gamble, even if it is a small addiction.

"What?!" Gao Zhanming was surprised from ear to ear.

Li Jingruo laughed loudly: "What are the odds, you can ask."

The coachman went there again and came back, and reported back: "I bought Mr. Gao in front of Mr. Li, and you will pay eight for one. Otherwise, you will pay one for ten."

The corner of Li Jingruo's mouth twitched, Gao Zhanming finally felt a little better.It seems that the common people are still toward him.He raised his eyebrows provocatively: "What do you think, Brother Li?"

Li Jingruo curled his lips: "These blind guys." He took out five liang of silver from his pocket and handed it to the coachman, and sent him there for the third time, "Go, buy one and lose eight."

The coachman was stunned for a long time, and left with the money.

Gao Zhanming didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and raised his hand to touch Li Jingruo's forehead: "Brother Li, why are you joining in the fun?! Did you not have a good rest last night?"

Li Jingruo raised his eyebrows: "Why, Mr. Gao is not convinced? Or is Mr. Gao objecting to my choice?"

Gao Zhanming laughed: "You are really generous, you are five taels of silver when you make a move. This is clearly a deception. If we take it seriously... how would the man who sits in the dealer know? Could it be that he bribed the boy in my house? This result If he can’t get it out, the money will be kept in the hands of the dealer. He will take the money to make profits. After a year or so, he will return the bet and earn a share of interest for nothing. No one can tell him No. You gave him five taels of silver."

Li Jingruo looked at him speechlessly for a while: "That's all you think about?"

Gao Zhanming rolled his eyes: "What if not?"

Li Jingruo looked at him deeply and remained silent.

After a while, the coachman came back and handed the ticket to Li Jingruo with the ticket in his hand.

Gao Zhanming gave Li Jingruo a contemptuous look, then turned around and went back into the carriage.As soon as he closed the car curtain, he couldn't help taking out the money bag, counted it, and found that he also took five taels of silver to go out.He thought for a while, then laughed dumbfoundedly, put the money back into his purse, and thought to himself that he was really crazy, but he really thought about it.It is true that if you are close to vermilion, you will be red, and if you are close to ink, you will be black!Li Jingruo, you have to stay away from him!But if you don't buy a few tickets to win the round, you really feel a bit lost.Not happy, really unhappy!

Li Jingruo got back into the car, and Gao Zhanming immediately pretended not to care and sat aside.

Li Jingruo gave him a funny look, and told the driver: "Go on."

The coachman raised his whip with one hand, and touched the gambling tickets in his pocket with the other.Just now when Li Jingruo sent him to buy gambling tickets, he also bet all the money he had with him.Eight for one!Mr. Li himself has bet on it, it seems that it is true that this matter will not escape, he got the first-hand news while taking advantage of his position, the money is definitely earned!Tsk tsk, I just didn't expect that Mr. Gao said one thing outside, but when he returned to the room, it turned out to be...

whatever!Who hasn't touched the seven emotions and six desires?If you go back early in a while, you can collect some money and buy a few gambling tickets. This is a good opportunity to make a fortune!The coachman was in a good mood and started on the road, waving his whip.

Not far away, Gao Zhanming raised the curtain of the car to look out, and saw a few men in military uniforms squatting in an alley not far away, their heads together mumbling something.

Gao Zhanming felt strange in his heart, this soldier who celebrates Chinese New Year should go home to visit his relatives, it's almost noon, what are they still gathering here for?So he told the coachman: "Go slowly." Then he called out to the others: "What are you doing?"

Those soldiers looked back and recognized Gao Zhanming, their expressions became very flustered, one of them turned around and wanted to run, but was held back by his companions.Several people walked to the side of the carriage, and the leader said: "Master Gao, we are preparing to go home."

Gao Zhanming frowned, looked them back and forth, and saw that some of them lowered their heads and looked guilty, it didn't look like they had done anything good.However, today is the New Year's Eve after all, and he doesn't want to worry about it. He thought that these people just came out of the army, maybe they were tempted to prostitute or something that violated military regulations. If it's the New Year's Eve, let them go Just go, so I warned: "Go home early, don't make trouble outside."

Those people responded one after another, turned around and left in a hurry.

After Gao Zhanming and Li Jingruo wandered outside for a long time, they returned to the house to rest for a while, and it was getting dark.

At Youshi, Li Jingruo walked into Gao Zhanming's room with a jar of wine in his arms.
