Family Has a Concubine

Chapter 47: Every bet will win

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

Jian Sitong said: “Okay, only this time!”

The man in yellow quickly gave a grateful gesture: “Then I will try my best to drag the creditors. In the next few months, I will trouble my cousin to help.”

Jian Sitong said: “Whether it takes a few months, just three days later, you can buy that small farmer girl. You can come back once!”

“Wh, what?” The yellow-clothed man was startled, “but…the one who was playing against the first talented girl, Liao Jueyao, how could that small peasant girl win? Cousin, are you kidding me?”

But Jian Sitong sneered: “Believe it or not! What good is it for me to play you? Even if I don’t want to help you, I won’t let you suffer this big loss! We are the cousins of my direct-in-law, and I hurt you like this. What good is your Lu family? If I hurt you, I will have to be beaten by my mother, and no one will be better off.”

After speaking, he turned and left. The man in yellow immediately caught up with him, his mouth full of apologies.

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

Jing’an Hou Mansion——

Sun was in the house, cracking up his abacus, calculating the expenditures and gifts at the time of the wedding. The more he thought about it, the more frowning he frowned. In the end, he was worried about Ye Licai’s lack of beauty.

Ye Chengxin walked in, sat at the table and took a sip of tea before hesitatingly said: “You can give me five hundred taels of silver!”

Sun frowned: “Didn’t you order five hundred taels of silver in the morning? Why do you want more? You should order tribute wine?”

Ye Chengxin struggled for a while and said, “No, no, I have another use.”

“What do you need to spend five hundred taels of silver?” Sun’s face sank, “Now when the family is tightly using money! If one more money is naturally put in Sister Li’s dowry, what else can be better than Sister Li? Is her dowry important? You also know that although the Zhang family agreed to the marriage, the Meng family does not know how to look down on Sister Li. If Sister Li has an extra dowry, she will be highly regarded as long as she is in Zhang. We can get better if we have a firm foothold.”

“Hey, can you just listen to me?” Ye Chengxin couldn’t bear it, and shouted angrily, “I want the five hundred taels of silver, don’t I just want to add it to Sister Li’s dowry?”

“This is strange. The five hundred taels of silver came out of Sister Li’s dowry, so do you need to add it back?”

“Oh, you can talk after you listen to me.” Ye Chengxin took a sip of tea and said, “When I went to the restaurant to order wine today, I ran into someone.”

“Who?”

“That person is called Jian Sitong!”

“Jian Sitong? Somewhat familiar.” Sun’s thoughts.

Ye Chengxin said mysteriously and authentically: “This Jane Sitong, everyone told him to win every gamble!”

“Every gambling will win?” Sun was shocked, and then suddenly looked at him: “This person… I seem to have heard of it!”

This Jane has the same nickname, and it is said that every bet will win!

He is not gambling at the gambling house to buy big or small, but to win the stars.

The Star Reaching Terrace is the favorite place for the wealthiest ladies and noble sons in the capital. On the first day of every month, there will be a talent gathering at the Star Reaching Station, which will be lively and lively.

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

The Star Reaching Terrace is a place of elegance. Naturally, there is no gambling, and it should not be tainted by the smell of copper. Even if it is to increase the atmosphere, it is just to add some elegance.

However, the star-catching platform is very famous. Many people envy this elegant place and want to join in the fun. Some treacherous people find business opportunities and set up gambling games in secret. Starring.

The people admired the elegance of the star-catching platform, and it seemed that the three words of the star-catching platform became elegant and lively.

This Jane Si is also a capable person. He can always buy and win a lot of money. Later, some people who wanted money bought it from him, and gradually he stopped buying it.

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

Others said that he would win every bet. It was a blessing given to him by his ancestors. If he spends it all, he will lose his life, so he no longer gambles.

“I heard that Jane Si talked with a cousin of him today. A few days later, on the first day of the junior high school, there was another competition on the star picking station. It seemed that a small peasant girl was challenging some talented woman. Then Jian Si asked him to show him Brother buys a small peasant girl. I’m sure to win!” Ye Chengxin said.

Sun’s heart moved, but hesitated: “Isn’t he not buying anymore? He won’t play tricks on his cousin, right?”

“How can it be fooling people!” Ye Chengxin said, “I can hear that his cousin lost a lot of money in business going south. If he doesn’t fill it back, the family will lose. Even if he doesn’t help, it is impossible to play other people. ”

Sun groaned.

Ye Chengxin said again: “I am also a little worried, what should I do if he fails? So, I want to buy five hundred taels. Even if it is half the odds, we can earn five hundred taels.”

Sun thought for a while before he said, “Are you sure that is really Jian Sitong himself? And, what is the comparison with the test?”

Ye Chengxin was startled: “I haven’t seen him before, and I can only hear his name today… As for the test, it’s not clear yet. I’ll go to investigate in a while.”

Ye Chengxin poured another cup of tea and went out after a break.

Sending a small tearer to inquire about the star picking station, he personally ran to the Jian Sitong gate not far away to guard, guarded for about half an hour, no one was seen, and was about to go home, not wanting to see Jian Sitong and that. The yellow-clothed man entered the mansion gate one after another.

Ye Chengxin was overjoyed. He had already determined that Jian Sitong was right, but he still didn’t feel relieved. He stuffed a couple of silver dollars to the guard, and got a definite answer from the guard, and Ye Chengxin returned home.

He walked into the room, and the little servant who had gone out with him had returned, and was reporting the situation of the star-catching platform to the Sun family.

Xiao Cang said: “I have already inquired clearly. On the first day of this month, the competition at the Star Reaching Platform is a chess game. A small peasant girl who has emerged from an unknown mountain col is invited to fight, and Liao Shoufu’s elder and granddaughter Liao Jueyao is the challenger. Ms. Liao is very famous. She is known as the first-year talented girl of Daqi, and she is also a disciple of Master Clarity. She has outstanding chess skills and is the first among the women in Beijing.”

Sun frowned when he heard it. Is it really hard to win if Jian Sitong asked to buy a small peasant girl? Just seeing Ye Chengxin walk in, Sun said: “Can you find out more clearly?”

Ye Chengxin nodded and walked to the table and sat down: “It’s me. That’s right. Huaiyang Hou’s son is the sixth son. His cousin is his aunt, and he is the Lu family, one of the richest merchants in Beijing. The Lu family is beautiful. For more than ten years, but in recent years it has not been very prosperous.”
