Daily Life of Jiang Liuniang

   Chapter 530 Gambling

   After coming out of Xicheng Yamen, Uncle Qiu first went to Fengchun Pharmacy to discuss with Feng Xingshan about making the business bigger.

  Feng Xingshan is honest and honest, and he does business without deceit, so he has a good reputation, but the herbal medicine shop does not make much money. After working with Uncle Qiu, Fengchun Herbal Medicine Shop was converted into Fengchun Herbal Medicine Shop, and he earned more money in two years than he earned in the previous ten years. To continue to cooperate, he can't ask for it.

   "More than 10%, the villain can only concoct medicinal materials and weigh them in two pounds. You always give the villain half a lot." Feng Xingshan said sincerely. Uncle Qiu was the famous Zuo Wuwei military advisor and Jiang Xianxian's confidant. Feng Xingshan was really flattered that he could discuss cooperation with him in person.

After    Uncle Qiu's identity was exposed, his behavior was as gentle and humble as before. He smiled and said, "This is what the second master meant."

   In the hearts of the people of Xicheng, Jiang Xianxian is the most trustworthy person in Kang'an City. Feng Xingshan responded immediately, "Okay, the villain listens to the second master. If there is anything that the villain needs to do, you can tell me."

  The two were talking, Feng Xingshan's thirteen-year-old son Feng Lisheng came home from school, ran in and shouted cheerfully, "Uncle Qiu, Dad!"

   After Uncle Qiu invited Tang Xiliang to sit in the Fengchun Pharmacy, the first thing to be cured was Feng Lisheng's face. After the burn scars on Feng Lisheng's face faded, his temperament became lively and cheerful, and he finally dared to go out of the yard to study in a private school.

After sending his son out, Feng Xingshan glanced at the horizontal and vertical scars on Uncle Qiu's face and asked carefully, "Uncle Qiu, you see that the severe burns on my Lisheng's face have been cured, and the scars on your face are three months old. It will definitely be cured."

   Uncle Qiu explained solemnly, "My second master thinks the stab wound on the old man's face is different and unique."

   Feng Xingshan nodded immediately after hearing this, "The villain thinks so too! With these two scars, you appear to be brave and wise, and people dare not look down on you."

   Uncle Qiu smiled and stood up to say goodbye, went outside the door and asked Lu Dingyun in a low voice, "Did someone bring it?"

   "Bring it." Lu Dingyun led Uncle Qiu into the private room of the adjacent restaurant.

  An Zheng, who was waiting in the private room, saw Uncle Qiu coming, and quickly stood up and apologized, "Uncle Qiu, this subordinate was negligent for a while and caused you trouble."

At the beginning of this year, An Zheng took the villagers from the same village to escape from Jiuquan, Suzhou to Kang'an. He couldn't even enter the city gate of Kang'an City. The spies are buried. An Zheng escaped by chance and infiltrated Kang'an City, wanting to sue the imperial court through Jiang Erye to avenge the villagers, but was stopped by Uncle Qiu.

   Since then, An Zheng has worked under Uncle Qiu. In the past six months, he has seen the prosperity and wealth of Kang'an City, and also deeply realized what despair is. The prefect of Suzhou, Jiang Jinzong, the general of Zuo Wuwei who was stationed in Suzhou, and Lang Chao, who killed his elders in the same village, are all the people of today's long live uncle, Qin Tianye, Duke Shen. Jiang Erye is still favored by Long Live, but he is only a sixth-rank petty official in Kang'an City. What can he compare to Qin Tianye?

   He went to Erye Jiang, but Erye Jiang didn't dare to take him to sue the imperial court.

   Uncle Qiu said that you must make a plan and then move, and then you will kill with one blow, otherwise you will die without a place to be buried. An Zheng was not afraid of death, he was afraid that he would not be able to avenge his elders and villagers, and that he would not be able to take out the bones of the elders buried in the Yulinwei camp. In the past six months, he has worked hard to learn his skills from the dark guards and waited for the opportunity to take revenge. After hiding for half a year, he thought he was safe, but he ran into Zhou Qiwu when he went out to run errands.

   Uncle Qiu let him sit down and said, "Tell me in detail."

An Zheng said truthfully, "Brother Qingxia asked his subordinate to deliver a letter to Ban Zhi, and happened to meet Zhou's carriage. The subordinate thought he couldn't recognize him, so he didn't dodge, and walked over to him. Unexpectedly, Master Zhou followed his subordinate. Entering Futian Temple, my subordinates have caused you trouble."

  An Zheng stayed in Kang'an City for half a year. He was whiter and fatter than before, and he also learned the Kang'an accent. It was really not eye-catching in the crowd, but Zhou Qiwu still recognized him.

Uncle Qiu stroked his beard and pondered, "It's been half a year since you met Zhou Qiwu in the Xicheng Tingshu Building, and he can still recognize you at a glance, indicating that he has been thinking about you. According to the old man's observation, Zhou Qiwu is not malicious in seeking you. If you want, you can go and see him."

  Even Jiang Er Ye couldn't help him, so what was the use of him going to Zhou Qiwu? An Zheng shook his head, "Master Zhou refused to harm the people with the magistrate when he was in Jiuquan, so he lost his post. Now that he is working under Jiang Erye's house, it is rare to have a stable life. If he belongs to him, it will only add to him."

"After half a year, you have grown more and more." Uncle Qiu nodded, "At the most ten days, Ban Zhi and the others will move from Futian Temple to the young master's new house, and you will continue to follow Chen Qingxia outside the mansion. Remember, you should think twice before doing anything. Nothing should be rushed.”

"This subordinate understands." An Zheng clenched his fists, he remembered something, and whispered, "When my subordinate went to Dongcheng to do business, I ran into Miss Liu's uncle Wang Fangyu and was entangled by Lai Liu. The subordinate listened to their conversation. It must be a gambling debt."

   Uncle Qiu squeezed his beard, "You think of a way to investigate this matter as soon as possible."

   "Subordinates understand."

   After An Zheng left, Lu Dingyun whispered, "If Wang Fangyu owes a debt, it makes sense for him to raise money everywhere."

   Uncle Qiu nodded slightly, "He ruined his future and can't blame others. How's Kong Quanwu's investigation?"

   "My subordinates have handed over the evidence of his collusion with the servants to the censor's desk, and he can't escape." Lu Dingyun whispered.

   Uncle Qiu nodded, "I stared at him, never let him be silenced or escaped."

"Yes."

   After An Zheng investigated Wang Fangyu's gambling money and borrowed a donkey roll, he immediately reported the matter to Uncle Qiu, who reported it to Jiang Ling.

  Jiang Ling's small face sank, "A person who gambles on one's own will be considered useless."

Uncle Qiu corrected, "Master, nothing is absolute. Gambling will not become a waste, only if you become addicted to gambling, will you be abandoned. You see that Er Ye often goes in and out of gambling and sensual places, but he has never been caught in it. I can't help myself."

"How many people in this world can have the character of a father?" Jiang Ling took off his scholar's robe and put on the cool and breathable straight robe that his sister made for him. Made it for me, how?"

   This plain-colored straight robe on the young master's body has different widths and widths of the collar. Although the two sleeves are the same length, the front hem of the robe and the stitches on the suffix are not flat enough, and the lengths are not uniform. It is good to wear it in the house. So, Uncle Qiu smiled and reminded tactfully, "Miss Six is ​​ingenious, and the young master's dress fits very well. But with such a light-colored robe, it's easy to get dirty when you wear it?"

   "It doesn't matter if it gets dirty. My sister said that this is what she used to practice her hands, and she will make it for me in a few days." Jiang Ling looked at her new clothes happily, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she became.

  Jiang Cai said outside the door, "Master, Harmony is here."

   "Let him wait, we'll come right away." Jiang Ling commanded in a loud voice.

   Uncle Qiu hurriedly asked, "Master is not studying today?"

   "I'm going out to eat fish with my sister and Hezhi, and I'll read it when I come back." Jiang Ling had been looking forward to this meal for several days.

   This is really about to go out wearing clothes. Uncle Qiu raised his hand and patted his forehead, and asked in a loud voice, "Where is the young master going? The old man asked someone to prepare a carriage."

   "To go to Yuxiang Garden, you don't need a car, let's stroll over there." After saying this, Jiang Ling disappeared.

   Yuxiang Garden? Uncle Qiu was thoughtful. Recently, I often heard people mention this name. It seems that the business of this store is very good.
