Chapter 56 – Betting on Xin Zhuo and the Murong Family’s Second Miss
Jiang Hezhu snorted: “Miss Su is ignoring us, it’s boring to follow, how about going to have fun?”
“Where?” The gentlemen asked in unison.
Jiang Hezhu put away the folding fan: “A little red by the Canglan River, is the most gentle on earth, drunken heart building!”
“Wonderful! Tonight eighteen white bars drunk, steal half a day of leisure!”
“Aiya, lively ah, it’s really coquettish, melon and plum, fox and tiger, a pear blossom pressed begonia!”
At this exact moment a jumble of idioms rubbed shoulders with the crowd.
“Young Hall Master you’re using idioms indiscriminately again!” The little maid followed behind with a despondent face, trying to correct her own master’s incorrect use of words.
“Haitang, you’re not happy about being pressed, are you? Haha, there’s no silver in this place, a thousand armies are coming to cross the river!”
“Young Hall Master” smugly, also patting his folding fan, went straight to the Golden Hook Gambling House not far away.
“Golden Hook Gambling House” high gate mansion, can be called a standardized building in Fufeng Province, at this time in front of the door of the crowd surging, mocking shouts one after another.
The odds of the four great families’ experts hunting down the thief Xin Zhuo have been soaring over time, and even those who are not good gamblers have to come and try their luck.
But yesterday afternoon, an alternative bet suddenly appeared: “Bet on Xin Zhuo to capture the Four Great Families’ experts, 3,000 taels!”
I don’t know who the bettor is, but this is simply degrading and against morality!
But the Golden Hook Gambling House accepted it! One to twenty!
This is too infuriating!
But this morning, someone else bet 3,000 taels on the thief Xin Zhuo to win, and this person’s identity was revealed–
The identity of this person has been revealed – the servant of Fufeng Chief Constable Xue Huaiwei’s family, who hasn’t returned from a two-month business trip. Anyone with an eye for detail would know where a servant of the Chief Constable would get so much money. Must be the chief constable from the field to send letters ordered!
Is there anything more ridiculous than this? A chief constable betting on the head of a thief to win?
That’s why everyone has come en masse to crusade.
The steward of the Golden Hook Gambling House, on the other hand, had his ear to the ground and sat at the door, ignoring it.
Just then, someone shouted, “I’ll bet five thousand taels!”
The crowd quieted down.
However, he saw the Young Hall Master walk into the crowd with his maid Haitang and pull out five thousand taels of Great Zhou silver tickets.
The steward finally raised his head, a hint of meaty smile on his fat face, the paperwork notes and vermilion clay were laid out one by one: “Which one do you bet on?”
The young hall master directly handed over the silver ticket, moved his pen to draw a pledge, and carelessly said: “My lord Shangguan Fan Qing, bet on Xin Zhuo to counter-kill the experts of the four great families!”
The steward paused, the gamblers outside who came to crusade also froze for a moment, this is even more exasperating than the chief constable and that mysterious gambler, people at least counter-arrested, you directly counter-killed?
“The world’s winds are falling, people’s hearts are not ancient, moral degeneration ……” Someone raised his arm and shouted, followed by a chorus of shouting and cursing.
“Lao Zi Jairi, the sea of bitterness, turn back to the shore!”
Shangguan Fanqing was unimpressed, and had already taken the note and swaggered away with Haitang.
Haitang asked in a low voice: “Where is Gongzi going next?”
Shangguan Fanqing said: “Didn’t that group of birds just say something about Drunken Heart House? Let’s go there too, it’s called Yellow Bird Catching Cicada, Mantis Behind!”
“It’s useless for the mantis to be at the back, it can’t beat the yellow bird.” Haitang held her forehead.
……
“Little Gongzi, you, whose Gongzi are you?”
At this time, Xin Zhuo who was searching for Drunken Heart Building all the way, was stared at all the way, his heart was a bit numb, was my portrait posted by the government? Or I am too attractive to the eyes with this bandit aura? Or maybe Cui Ying’er and Murong Huo have tricked themselves into dressing too ugly?
He was a little embarrassed and a little inferiority complex.
Until the two girls stopped, are fourteen or fifteen years old, a satin dress, should be a small rich family daughter, said not beautiful, but better in the young and energetic, lively and beautiful.
“Ah this ah ……”
Xin Zhuo said in my heart that I made up a good, “I surnamed Jiang, the west side of the city, something?”
In his previous life, the manager’s last name was Jiang, and he loved to give people small shoes, and take his last name and use it.
“Jiang family ……”
The two little girls nodded their chins, their eyes lingered on him repeatedly, suddenly red-faced in unison, said: “You, you married people did not?”
“Oh ……”
A little wrong, Xin Zhuo coughed, “That is not yet, I am still small, only sixteen.”
“Pfft ……” The two girls red-faced laugh out loud, eyes bright, Qiqi will be in the hands of the flower hard to stuff over: .
“My family lives in the south of the city, ten miles square, east counting the fourth family, surnamed Li, others call me Sanniang, remember!”
“My family also lives in the south of the city, also ten miles square, east counting the sixth family, Wang second miss, I am more obedient and understanding than the Li family Sanniang, seekers must not go to the wrong family.”
“To die ah you, I saw it first!”
“Hmph!”
The two little girls took a step and ran away.
Xin Zhuo held the flowers and froze in place, half a long time before he reacted, this is …… the ancient method to get an object? I have a good face value?
This is also too direct, two junior high school lolitas.
In fact, my family lives in the Volsung Mountain Volsung Walled City, a unit, the Gathering Hall, the occupation is a mountain bandit big pawn, can you accept it?
Sniffing the brightly colored bouquet of unknown flowers, don’t say, it smells pretty good.
“The little male ……”
“Right! Shouting at you, I, I have something to say to you.”
A few more young girls with burning eyes ran over in the distance.
Xin Zhuo’s scalp went numb, and he couldn’t help but quicken his pace and run in a flurry, squeezing through the crowd and scurrying off into the distance.
The front is the Canglan River, the river is densely woven with flower boats, both sides of the river are brightly lit, the sound of people, upstairs, simply dressed girls, waving handkerchiefs, the voice of the delicate people goosebumps.
This is the neighborhood.
The seventh house on the left?
Xin Zhuo along the riverside street bustling crowd, squeeze forward, one by one flower building count over, until the seventh door, look up to the door plaque, can not help but stunned.
“Little Fragrant Residence”!
Instead of “Drunken Heart House!”
Said that the seventh house on the left is the Drunken Heart House?
He backed up to the wooden fence by the river and scanned half of the street from a distance, but there was not a single one called “Drunken Heart House”.
What the hell is Murong Hugh doing? I’m not familiar with this place, I’ve reported the wrong address, where can I find Drunken Heart House?
After pondering for a while, I looked to the side, and there happened to be three girls standing by the river, enjoying the river view from the railings.
“Ugh!”
Murong Yunxi’s pair of slender white fingers twisted her handkerchief, a trace of sadness flooding her handsome face as she looked at the river and fumed.
She was the Murong family’s second young lady, and her sorrow was twofold:One was that her elder brother Murong Huo, who had loved her since childhood, had become a thief, making it so troublesome.
The second is that her heart belongs to the chief constable Xue Huaiwei, although that cold big man is eight years older than herself, but the man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, what does age count for? For this reason, she even went so far as to reject the Song family’s first son Song Dongxi’s marriage proposal, that big guy is not enlightened at all, what official business, must be avoiding himself, humph!
Right at this moment, a warm and nice voice on the side asked, “Ladies, may I ask how to get to the Drunken Heart Building?”
“Get lost ……”
Murong Yunxi looked at the visitor in shame, froze for a moment, and immediately switched to, “Denizen …… ah, meet the gentleman, the young lady is polite ……”
It is well known that young ladies address young males as.
The poor and ugly ones are usually called “fuck off”!
The average-looking but poor ones are called “stay away”!
The poor but good-looking ones are called “You’re a good man”!
Ugly but rich people are called “Dentist”.
The good-looking and rich are called “gentlemen”!
The good-looking ones are called “Ah, I’ve met you, sir. I’m honored.”
Murong Yunxi’s face was clear of all the sad clouds, the clouds opened up to see the bright moon, her eyes emitted an eye-catching light, the corner of her mouth hooked up a shy arc, and she even straightened out the bun around her ear which had never been messed up at all.
In front of him, this young gentleman’s sword eyebrows, eyes like a bit of paint, face like a crown of jade, eyelashes long, eyes exuding a shattering depth, especially when he smiled slightly, revealing a pair of charming dimples.
A boy like a painting.
Even better looking than the girl.
There are still such wonderful people in the world, how did his parents give birth to him?
Xin Zhuo repeated again, “May I ask how to get to the Drunken Heart Building?”
Murong Yunxi was dumbfounded.
Until the maid next to her snickered in a low voice and gently patted her: “Second miss, second miss ……”
Only then did Murong Yunxi react, her cheeks flushed scarlet: “What is the little, little gentleman asking about the Drunken Heart Building for?”
“To float a chang!”
Xin Zhuo rightfully said, normal men go to the hookah without floating a chang, what’s the difference between that and a salted fish?
