Spring is bright, and the crabapple trees are blooming in the courtyard. Under the crabapple trees, there are two children standing. They are only four or five years old, and they are all in the same hairstyle, with braids that are tall, short, thin, and fat.
A red silk dress with a bright gold collar hanging around her neck, and her appearance was somewhat similar. If it weren't for the different heights, fatness and thinness, they would have looked like twin brothers.
The short and fat one smiled and felt a little proud, holding a nine-serial series in his hand to play.
Jiulianhuan is a common toy in the folk, but the one in this fat guy's hand is different, because it is made of jasper and gold as a chain. Not to mention the color, the jade sound is also crisp when playing with it. Not to mention children, it is even more popular.
Even if I can't take my eyes open.
The tall and thin one, with his fingers on his face, whispered: "I want to play..."
The fat little man raised his chin and said proudly: "This is the only one, it's mine..."
"I want to play too..." The tall and thin child said again in a silly voice.
The fat dun looked down at the object in his hand and hesitated: "This thing is crisp and easy to break. Be careful, I dare not play it at will..."
The tall and thin child tilted his mouth, his face was already filled with grievances, and tears were circling in his eyes, but when he saw the figure not far away, he was already happy and said, "Grandmother..."
Little fat man raised his head when he heard this, facing several servants, surrounded by a middle-aged woman and a boy.
The tall and thin child had already rushed over and said, "Grandma"
The middle-aged woman held his little hand with a pity: "Why is Brother Xiaodong here? Oh, you're still crying? Why are you so wronged? But are you bullied?" At the end of her speech, she looked at her
Another little fat man looked cold and his voice was already filled with annoyance.
The little fat man stood there with a look of helpless expression and murmured: "Madam, second brother..."
The tall and thin boy felt more aggrieved when he saw the backer coming. He choked and said, "Grandma, wuwu, I want to play that too, Uncle Wu won't play for me..."
The middle-aged woman looked at the fat man and shouted sternly: "You are uncle, why don't you give in to your nephew?"
The little fat man grabbed his hands tighter and said with his neck straight: "This is the only one child, he is afraid of breaking things."
When the tall and thin boy heard this, he started crying "whimper".
The middle-aged woman became more and more impatient: "You child should not be willful, and you shouldn't be able to play with your nephew?"
The little fat man raised his head and blushed and said, "This is the child's child's."
Seeing this, the tall and thin boy cried even harder.
The middle-aged woman felt so distressed that she immediately urged: "You can't be more sensible? You are so cruel and useless. Just let your nephew cry?"
The little fat man hugged Jiu Lianhuan in his arms, his face full of dissatisfaction and did not respond.
The middle-aged woman was impatient and said to the boy next to her: "Why don't you take it to Brother Xiaodong? She will cry hoarsely if she cries."
The boy hesitated and felt embarrassed on his face: "Madam, since he is my favorite of Brother Wu, why don't you find something else for Brother Xiaodong?"
The tall and thin boy was smart. Seeing that things didn't work, he held the middle-aged woman's hand and choked and said, "Grandmother, grandmother, I want this..."
The middle-aged woman felt so distressed that she no longer urged the boy around her. She immediately stepped forward and pulled Jiulian from the fat man's arms, and stuffed her backhand into the tall and thin boy's hand.
"Hehehe is fun..." The tall and thin boy held the Jade Nine Chain and burst into tears and smiled.
The little fat man was furious: "You bully people, I want to tell the great master to go, Brother Xiaodong robs my nine series."
The tall and thin boy was startled and quickly looked up at the middle-aged woman: "Grandmother..."
The middle-aged woman's face was as cold as frost, looking at the fat man.
The boy next to him whispered, "Madam, let me give it to the fifth brother. The fifth brother is of high age, but he is half a year younger than Xiaodong. When he got to the great master, he was not good-looking at him..."
The middle-aged woman felt her heart was running wildly, and took nine serials from the tall and thin boy, and threw them on the ground: "When you take them back, who wouldn't care?"
The ground was paved with blue bricks in the courtyard, and the jade nine band fell down and broke a few pieces immediately and scattered all over the floor.
The fat man couldn't help but be stunned. The middle-aged woman sneered, and turned around and left with the tall and thin boy's hand.
Behind him, the howling of a child sounded...
Looking at the Jade Nine Links in the brocade box, he retracted his thoughts and sighed heavily.
The dispute between the two children seemed to have been serious, but the consequences were quite serious. Chen Jue was ill. The great master knew the whole story and scolded his eldest daughter-in-law and did not say anything, nor did she allow her to see Brother Jue any more. Not long after, the good news came from the capital, and Brother Xiaodong and his big grandmother were asked to take him to the capital by his great master.
Chen was a bystander back then, and only felt that the eldest wife's disgust for her younger brother was unreasonable and was too mean. For the sake of the eldest wife's attitude, Chen had suspected Chen Jue's origin back then, so he carefully asked around, although he knew it The answer is completely different.
Although Chen sympathized with his younger brother, his son did not say that his mother had gone wrong. Apart from persuading peace, he could not say anything else.
It was not until Chen Jue was taken away by Xu that the eldest wife showed regret and looked at him and sighed.
Last year, when I went to Nanjing to visit relatives, Chen Wuyi saw the nine-serial jade chain in front of me in a cultural and entertainment shop at Confucius Temple. Although it was not as delicate as the one that the eldest lady had fallen back then, it also had the meaning of seven or eight points.
Thinking of the grievances that my younger brother suffered when he was young, he bought this Jade Nine Chain, and thought that he would give it to him if he had the opportunity in the future.
I didn't expect to send me off in such a situation, and I haven't sent it out yet.
Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head, put the brocade box together again...
On the canal, the grain ships stopped and stopped. Before they knew it, it was over August. By mid-September, the journey was halfway through.
After ten months of hard work, Shen Rui, Chen Jue and Chen Quan not only regained their old friendship with Chen Huan, his former classmates, but also became familiar with Chen Yu and Lu Sanlang.
I was bored sitting on the boat. In my spare time, everyone used dominoes to kill time.
Chen Yu has a high seniority and many trivial matters on his body, so he does not associate with his nephews. Chen Jue is filial to him and is only in the siege of the siege, and the only ones left are Shen Rui, Chen Huan, Chen Quan and Lu Sanlang. .
Although Lu Sanlang is a little older than the Shen family, he is a lively and transparent person, not rigid and dogmatic, and can get together when talking and having fun with everyone. Otherwise, even if Shen Rui has an old age, everyone would not I was so familiar with it every ten months.
Seeing Lu Sanlang piled up a lot of copper coins in front of him, Chen Huan wailed: "It's Brother Lu San win again.
Lu Sanlang smiled and said, "Looking at you, you have never been to the casino... You are old and you will be in the world of socializing in the future. Even if you don't want to learn gambling, you should know what you should know... Wait, I'll get some things to play with you..."
When he returned to the cabin, he had already taken a dice tube in his hand.
Chen Huan said unconvincedly: "Isn't this just dice? Who hasn't seen it? When I was a child, I was playing Shuanglu or playing horses with my sisters, I was all playing this..."
Lu Sanlang smiled but did not answer, but rolled up his sleeves, did not sit down, and stood in front of the table and shook the dice.
Seeing this, everyone stood up and watched Lu Sanlang perform the show.
When the dice barrel is unveiled and six dice are exposed, they are all red-hearted.
Shen Rui said with admiration: "Brother Lu is really amazing..."
Lu Sanlang smiled, moved his wrist, put away the dice, and shook it again.
When the dice barrel is opened again, there are six sixes inside, and a leopard is shaken out.
"I'll try it too." Shen Huan could no longer hold back and tried to sharpen his fists and intervene.
Lu Sanlang moved out of his position and handed the dice barrel to Shenhuan.
Chen Huan smiled "haha" and said, "I don't want a leopard, just come out and get big..."
"Crash", the dice are shaken randomly, and the dice surfaces are naturally neat.
"One, two, two, four, four, six... Ha, it's really big." Shen Huan counted the dice noodles, and said to everyone a little excited.
Chen Quan smiled and shook his head, "Brother Lu is a skill, Brother Huan is just a blind cat and a dead mouse
Although Chen Huan was not convinced, he shook it twice, whether big or small, and it was really "will do whatever he wanted".
Chen Jue curiously said, "Brother Lu is so good, this is something that can be practiced and made perfect. Has he learned it specifically?"
Lu Sanlang shook his head and smiled, "I really want to talk about it, but I have a hobby since I was a child. I like yellow and white things. Even if it is not my own, I am willing to take a look at them..."
If someone else had such a hobby, he would definitely look greedy and vulgar. However, Lu Sanlang was gentle and elegant, with a handsome young man in his appearance, and it looked like he was not in line with the stinky scent.
After hearing this, the young masters of Shen just felt novel and did not feel despised.
"When I was thirteen or four years old, the elders of the clan opened a casino. The casino was full of real money and silver. In my eyes, it was naturally good everywhere. At that time, I thought the best place in the world was the casino. I was reluctant to leave every day... When the elder saw me, he didn't stop drinking, so he took me by his side without avoiding anything... In less than two months, I understood what was going on in the casino and also saw it. Several times, I lost all my money and sold my children because of gambling, so I stopped gambling... But I learned how to play the trick of dice..." Lu Sanlang said.
Chen Quan said thoughtfully: "Brother Lu San is a wise elder. If he enlightens Brother Lu San like this... If he stops him directly, he will probably be useless, and he will be even more curious..."
Lu Sanlang nodded and said, "Who said it was not..."
Shen Rui thought for a while and said, "Elders of the Lu family do not avoid the casino. Is it true that all the younger generations except Lu San Ge, have they walked over?"
Lu Sanlang looked at Shen Rui and nodded with a smile and said, "I just let Brother Rui say it. I only realized later that the descendants of the Lu family have become Ding Ding, and the elders have to take them to the casino a few times, but the Lu family has not. The same is true before opening a casino... The elders said that when they are old, they will inevitably be sinister when they leave home. They often come to make trouble for others, but they are "wine," sex, these things... they should know If you know everything, you will not be easily fooled by others and suffer losses in this regard..."
Chen Quan said astonished: "I can't blame Brother Lu San for drinking. It turns out that he has also been trained..."
Chen Huan was fourteen years old, and was the time when he was young and muttered Ai. He smiled and said, "I learned wine and gambling. How can I learn 'sex?"
