God-given peasant wife's good fortune

Chapter 228 Entering the Gambling Club
236
It is said that although Liu Changfeng has two concubines, they are just for decoration, because he has been doting on the head wife from the beginning to the end.

Xiang Zirun smiled lightly, and continued: "Actually, Liu Changfeng once married a wife before he became the mayor of Yangfeng City. Later, that woman secretly ran away because she couldn't bear his downfall, and now the wife of the city lord used to be at ten During the riots a few years ago, he accidentally saved Liu Changfeng's life. Liu Changfeng promised her that he would marry her, but the wife of the city lord was still young and didn't take his words seriously. Liu Changfeng was suppressing her. After the riots that year, I searched for many years before I found this woman who had promised."

Speaking of this, Xiang Zirun said with a hint of interest in his tone: "I'm afraid you would never have imagined that when Liu Changfeng found the wife of the city lord, she was wearing a wedding dress and worshiping another man, Liu Changfeng The wind snatched her back by force."

After being snatched back by Liu Changfeng, the wife of the city lord was looking for life and death, and almost died several times. I don't know what method Liu Changfeng used to coax her well, and he could still be so devoted to him.

"So there is still such a relationship between City Lord Liu and his wife?" Su Kefang's almond eyes sparkled, obviously interested in the stories of these two people.

What disappointed her was that Liu Changfeng blocked the news of that year, and Xiang Zirun couldn't find out, and that was all he knew.

"Do you want to visit Yangfeng City first, or go back to the garden first?" Xiang Zirun asked with a smile, skipping the subject.

Su Kefang thought for a while and said, "Let's visit Yangfeng City first."

The streets of Yangfeng City are much larger than the main street of Huaitang County, enough for three carriages to walk side by side. There are no temporary stalls on both sides of the street, and the roads are also very tidy. Everything looks orderly. Walking on the street feels very relaxing. .

The facades of every shop on the street are very large, and the decoration looks very grand. The couple wandered aimlessly, and finally went to a teahouse to rest when they were tired from walking.

The two were about to go up to the private room on the second floor, when Su Kefang was halfway up the stairs, he heard the word "gambling wood" from the noisy lobby on the first floor.

"Zi Run, you have good hearing, did you hear someone say 'gambling wood' just now?" Su Kefang asked him in a low voice.

"Well, someone took the word 'gambling wood' just now." He said with certainty.

Hearing this, Su Kefang was overjoyed: "Really? Someone really said gambling with wood?"

Xiang Zirun frowned, and asked, "Do you know about gambling?"

He knew about betting on stones, but it was the first time he had heard of betting on wood.

"I know, I have been there to gamble with master several times before!" She nodded vigorously: "Listen carefully and see if they have said where to gamble?"

She has a master, why doesn't he know about this?
He took a deep look at her, listened carefully with his inner strength, and repeated what he heard to her: "It is said that there was a wood gambling conference in the western suburbs, and a guest paid a lot of money to hire a master who knew how to gamble to help him gamble." , no matter what the result is, this guest will give this master who gambled for him a high-quality black rosewood tree."

"A whole tree of black rosewood?!" Su Kefang grabbed his arm excitedly, and asked, "Are you sure you heard it right, is it black rosewood? Or the whole tree?"

"No mistake!" he affirmed.

"I'm going to the western suburbs!"

Her blood boiled all over her body, she turned around and went downstairs, Xiang Zirun had no choice but to keep up.

"Master Xiang, Mrs. Xiang!" As soon as the two of them walked downstairs, they saw Liu Changfeng's coachman approaching.

Xiang Zirun frowned: "Is there something wrong?"

"Master Xiang, our City Lord is looking for you urgently, please go there as soon as possible!" The coachman was sweating profusely, obviously he had been looking for them for a while.

"Did the city lord say something?" Xiang Zirun frowned, hearing what the coachman said, Liu Changfeng must have something really urgent, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a hurry.

"The city lord didn't say anything," said the coachman.

"Zi Run, go ahead and do your work. I'll go to the western suburbs first, and then come to me after you finish your work." Su Kefang saw his hesitation and said, but she was also anxious.

That is the whole black rosewood tree, worth a lot of money!
Xiang Zirun thought for a while, and said to the coachman, "I will go to the City Lord's Mansion by myself, and you will accompany my wife to the western suburbs."

This coachman was very skilled, and he was someone close to Liu Changfeng. With him protecting his wife, he didn't have to worry about being embarrassed or making trouble.

"Yes, Master Xiang."

"Wait a minute!" Just before his daughter-in-law got into the carriage, Xiang Zirun stopped her again: "Change into men's clothes before going."

He personally took his wife to buy a men's suit and changed into it, and watched the carriage go to the western suburbs. Xiang Zirun then went to the City Lord's Mansion.

"Mrs. Xiang, we've arrived at the wood gambling place." The coachman parked the carriage not far from the wood gambling club, and said to Su Kefang in the car.

Su Kefang in the carriage had heard the noise long ago, got out of the carriage, and saw a tent not far from the carriage, which was temporarily built with thin wooden boards, and the noise came from inside.

Two tables were set up at the entrance of the shed, and there were more than a dozen people lined up in front of the tables, not knowing what to register at the tables.

Without Su Kefang opening his mouth, the coachman stepped forward to ask, and reported to Su Kefang when he came back: "Mrs. Xiang, if you want to enter the wood gambling venue, you have to leave your name and seal there."

Hearing this, Su Kefang smiled: "Is it that simple?"

Just now she was thinking about what kind of invitations or signs would be needed to enter the gambling wood, and let the coachman come forward. After all, he is a person who belongs to the city owner, and the owner of the venue should give him face.

Su Kefang didn't have a seal on him, so he directly wrote his name and a big thumb symbol on the paper in front of the table with a brush, and then ignored everyone's surprised eyes, and led the coachman into the gambling club.

After entering the shed, Su Kefang saw that there were actually not many people inside, only forty or fifty at most, but everyone was shouting at the top of their voices, so loud that the roof of the shed was almost torn off.

Su Kefang squeezed into the crowd and saw two people slicing a piece of sandalwood on the table in the center of the wood gambling conference. Behind him stood a middle-aged man who was so nervous that his forehead was sweating. The guest of the piece of wood.

After the two men cut open the sandalwood, the middle-aged man behind him rushed forward to examine it carefully, and then shouted at an old man in the audience: "How about coming up and taking a look?" "

"Yes, sir!"

The old man was supposed to be the middle-aged man's staff officer, and he knew wood. He held a lamp in his hand, and the lamp was covered with a thin layer of paper. After climbing up the stage, he took the lamp in his hand and carefully inspected the wood.

While he was checking the wood, the audience suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at the old man holding their breath.

After nearly two quarters of an hour, the old man exclaimed in ecstasy: "Master, we won the bet, it's the best red sandalwood, let's make it this time!"
