Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

In the casino opposite the restaurant, Shen Zuorong sat at the gaming table with a heavily made-up woman in his arms.

With the money in his hand, he rented a good house again, and bought a woman to serve him, eating, drinking and having fun all day long, and he had long since left his son in his hometown and his wife in prison far away.

At the moment, he is playing dice with a group of gamblers, and the table is full of shining silver.

"Big~~big~~big~~" Shen Zuorong's triangular eyes were rounded, staring straight at the rolling dice.

"Small~~little~~little~~" The other gamblers also looked nervous, expectant and greedy, waiting for the dice to stop and win or lose.

After rolling for a while, the dice stopped, and this time, Shen Zuorong lost.

He was not reconciled, he obviously saw that it was stopped at the side with big dots, but he turned it slowly and turned into small dots, what a pity!
"Ah! I just missed winning by just a little bit!" Shen Zuorong stomped heavily, with a look of annoyance on his face, and bet another ten taels of silver, "One more shot! This one is still a big bet!'
The second Shen Zuorong lost again.

"Grandpa~~" Shen Zuorong cursed in frustration.

The eyes of the woman in her arms are rounder than his: "Master, give me another one, it's only three things, this one is definitely big~~"

This woman is a kiln sister named Du Juan, in her twenties, Shen Zuorong paid some money to redeem her from the kiln and brought her with her.

The ancient kilns are not comparable to the high-end brothels. There are many talented girls in the brothels, and they also serve dignitaries.

And the women in the brothels mostly serve the men at the bottom of society, poor scholars, gangsters, and many of them are gamblers~~ This kind of gambler's mentality has been completely distorted. to have fun.

And Du Juan was brought into a gambling addiction by this kind of client. He was a full-fledged gambler, and soon dragged Shen Zuorong into the water.

Shen Zuorong lost more than half of the box of jewelry that Shen Zuorong got from Shen Weiwei in just ten days.

"Big~~big~~big~~" Shen Zuorong's eyes were full of fanaticism, and all his attention was on the rolling dice.

"Big~~big~~big~~" With his firm cry, the dice stopped, this won him, he was ecstatic, and suddenly felt lucky, winning a few hundred or two is no problem , the glory and wealth seemed to be at your fingertips, and he immediately threw three taels of silver to Du Juan boldly.

Du Juan got the silver and immediately bet it.

It was cold and snowy outside, but the casino was extremely hot. They sweated when they lost, and sweated when they won. Their fun was only on the rolling dice.

If you win, you want to win more, if you lose, you have to dig out your capital, and you can't get rid of it yourself.

……

Telford Street in the east of the city is commonly known as a street of wealth.

The house of Murong Hong, the owner of Yongsheng Commercial Bank, stands proudly in the center of Defu Street. From the street, you can see the Minister's Mansion in the distance, and at the end of the street, you can see the Rongluhou Mansion.

The house is very lively today, all the rooms and courtyards have had their dinner early, the ladies and ladies are all dressed up, and they are waiting to go out of the house to the south of the city to watch the ice lanterns.

In Changping Yuan Nuan Pavilion, Murong Hong, Zhao Gaoyi and others were still drinking.

Zhao Gaoyi has been in business for many years and has accumulated a lot of money, so he naturally bought a house in the capital.

After coming to Beijing, I spent some money to find a doctor with good medical skills, and the disease was cured almost completely, but there were some sequelae, my right leg was limping and I needed a cane, and I couldn't speak so well.

In addition to Zhao Gaoyi, Zhao Mo was also there. Zhao Mo's unscrupulous business philosophy suited Murong Hong's appetite, and he valued him very much.

In addition, he and Shen Yuan had fought against each other in Wantian County, and knew Shen Yuan very well. Murong Hong planned to reuse him after the Chinese New Year.

Zhao Mo raised his glass and took a sip of the wine, "Uncle, don't worry, Mo'er will find a way to find out where the spring water that country girl uses for cooking comes from. If she can't get the spring water, she must give it to her." destroy.'

"Well, it must be so." Murong Hong nodded, stuffed a mouthful of vegetables into his mouth, and said while chewing, "If we don't get rid of this spring, we will have nothing to do with restaurants and teahouses."

Yongsheng Commercial Bank covers a wide range of businesses, and it is not a big deal to lose the business of restaurants and teahouses, but the business is all about fighting for every cent. If it is so easy to hand over the business to others, how can Yongsheng Commercial Bank be so strong and so successful? big?
Hearing everyone mentioning Shen Yuan, Zhao Gaoyi couldn't help but burst into anger.

"This~~this bitch~~bitch girl, business~~I want it, if she can't do it, people~~people will die~~" In the end, the brain nerves were damaged, no matter how clear the brain was, the tongue was also knotted, and the tongue was tied up when talking. Especially laborious.

It's not annoying to attend banquets on weekdays, just listen and don't talk, but now I can't help it. I owe Shen Yuan to my appearance, and I hate her so much.

Zhao Mo saw that Zhao Gaoyi was spitting straight away when he spoke, and hurriedly said: "Father, don't worry, this Qiu Mo'er will definitely report it for you, you eat yours."

Although everyone didn't show their disgust, they all put down their chopsticks.

Murong Hong's eldest son, Murong Minda, the young owner of Yongsheng Commercial Bank, picked his teeth and spoke calmly.

"Then the first thing to do in spring next year is to investigate the origin of the spring water in Penglai Restaurant and solve this matter thoroughly." He was in his early twenties, with a calmness and sophistication that did not match his age, and he was Murong Hong's right-hand man.

"Yeah." Murong Hong took the hot handkerchief handed over by his servants and wiped the corners of his mouth, "It's almost Chinese New Year, everyone celebrates happily, and we can talk about other things after the new year. By the way, Ice Lantern Festival tonight, Minda Then you take your cousins ​​out to play."

"Yes, father." Murong Minda agreed, and greeted his younger brother Murong Jingfu and cousin Zhao Mo, and the three left Changpingyuan.

At the gate of Murong Mansion, the wives and ladies had already boarded the carriage, waiting for Murong Minda and others.

Mrs. Murong rubbed Murong Jiao's head lovingly, and said earnestly.

"Jiaojiao, the Ice Lantern Festival will be grand in space, and Ye Wangfu will definitely go to watch the lanterns. When you see Princess Ye, don't get too close to her. She is not only your father's competitor but also your uncle's enemy. You go so far with her." It’s going to provoke public outrage.”

Murong Jiao pouted aggrievedly: "Princess Ye is my daughter's savior. My daughter was almost taken away by gangsters in Wantian County. If Princess Ye didn't sacrifice her life to save her daughter, she might have been ruined for the rest of her life."

Mrs. Murong shook her head, and said earnestly, "If you have different paths, don't conspire with each other. You and her are destined not to be on the same path."

Could it be the same path? A princeling, a Night King, will be pinched sooner or later.

After a pause, he added: "She saved you, and you helped her, so it's a settlement."

Murong Jiao replied helplessly: "Daughter knows."

Soon, Murong Minda came out with a group of young masters, instead of riding in a carriage, he walked on foot under the rustling thick snow.

Not long after coming out of the mansion, they met the carriage of Rong Lu Hou mansion, and everyone went to the south of the city together after saying hello.
