Summary of the previous chapter: The emperor ordered Wei Zhongxian to play the "Smart Ice" game on his behalf. Wei Zhongxian had no choice but to buy the piece of "Smart Ice" in Ma Xiaoquan's hand for two hundred taels of silver...
During the intermission, Ma Xiaoquan ordered Sister Cui to close the door and counted the money and two banknotes collected.
Sister Cui counted the time it took to burn the incense, and then she neatly counted the money and silver notes she received. Then Sister Cui surprisingly reported a number to Ma Xiaoquan, which shocked Ma Xiaoquan.
"It's almost 20,000 taels..." Ma Xiaoquan clicked his tongue and shook his head, "Sister Cui, how long can I use this money to play at Haoyuexuan?"
Sister Cui said: "According to the game you made today, taking into account the fun words of the winners, you can play it for more than half a year."
"Ha" Ma Xiaoquan was happy. Although he knew that the "Smart Ice" game he created would make money, he didn't expect to make so much money. Ma Xiaoquan smiled and took out a hundred-tael silver note and handed it to Sister Cui.
Said: "Take it and buy two clothes for Haohao, um, but be careful not to be seen!"
Sister Cui burst into tears of gratitude. If Wei Zhongxian hadn't been in Haoyuexuan at this moment, Sister Cui would have really wanted to kneel down in front of Ma Xiaoquan and call out her benefactor.
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand and asked: "Wei Zhongxian swallowed the medicine last night. I don't know how effective it is. Bei Mingxue said it will take about a day?"
Sister Cui smiled and said: "Sir, please don't worry. Even if the dog eunuch is fine, the piece of ice I gave him today is enough for his second dose of traditional Chinese medicine. You are so awesome..."
"Haha... this is just double insurance!" Ma Xiaoquan smiled modestly, "Next, Bei Mingxue's other medicine will be useful. By the way, Sister Cui, go over and report to Wei Zhongxian right now.
Just say that in this game, I, Ma Xiaoquan, received more than 10,000 taels of silver..."
Sister Cui worriedly said: "Sir, if you say this, the dog eunuch will definitely..."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "I just want him to know. Besides, we actually collected more than 10,000 yuan."
"Well, yes!"
...
In the other upper room of Haoyue Xuan, Wei Zhongxian and his son were slowly drinking fragrant tea.
Suddenly, the door opened and Sister Cui walked in, twisting her waist.
Wei Zhongxian saw it was Sister Cui and asked, "Xiao Cui, how much profit did Ma Xiaoquan make from this game?"
Sister Cui said: "In reply to Mr. Wei, I have already passed 10,000 taels."
"What? One thousand taels?" Wei Zhongxian's old face suddenly turned red. He stood up and slapped the table and cursed, "That bastard Ma Xiaoquan is making money in my territory. He and I are at odds with each other!"
Wang Tiqian then stood up and advised: "Master Wei, please be patient. Aren't we already at odds with Ma Xiao?"
Wei Zhongxian rolled his eyes at Wang Tigan and said, "Huh, you are making money in my territory, so be obedient and put all your money down!"
Wang Tiqian said again: "Master Wei, do you want Ma Xiaoquan to leave all the 10,000 taels in Haoyuexuan?"
"Of course, I, Wei Zhongxian, always do things the same way. If Ma Xiaoquan is sensible, he should also understand my temper!"
Sister Cui pretended to fan the flames: "Master Wei, are you afraid that Ma Xiaoquan won't follow your wishes?"
Wei Zhongxian smashed his words and said: "If he doesn't follow my wishes, he won't even think about going out, hum! Xiaocui, please sacrifice a little more. If you really can't let Ma Xiaoquan sleep with you once or twice, until
Get all the 10,000 taels in his hand!"
Sister Cui was born in a prostitute, so she didn't mind sleeping with him or not, but now he was actually Ma Xiaoquan's subordinate. Wei Zhongxian said this about his master, which made Sister Cui very unhappy. On the surface, Sister Cui pretended to be submissive and nodded repeatedly.
, but there was also a hint of displeasure on his expression.
A woman's heart was in a state of shock. How could Wei Zhongxian know Sister Cui's true thoughts? Seeing that Sister Cui was a little unhappy, he thought that Sister Cui was not happy to be slept with by Ma Xiaoquan. He pulled Sister Cui into his arms, comforting and forcing her:
"Xiao Cui, thank you for your hard work. Ah, you have to think carefully about your son. He is doing very well recently..."
Sister Cui sneered in her heart and secretly scolded Wei Zhongxian for pretending. Her son was clearly with Mr. Li Yao and Mr. Li at the moment, while Mr. Li Yao and Mr. Li were hiding in the huge city of Beijing. What are you, Wei Zhongxian, pretending to be?
"Master Wei, I know this..." Sister Cui lowered her head, pretending to be worried and lonely.
Wei Zhongxian laughed and said, "Okay, let's go out and keep an eye on it."
"yes!"
...
After Sister Cui left the room, Wang Tiqian was a little suspicious and said: "Master Wei, why do I always feel that something is wrong with Sister Cui? Is she suspicious of us? Master Wei, Sister Cui hasn't seen her son for a long time.
Now, if things were like this before, she would have been in a hurry with you, Mr. Wei, but after such a long time, not only has she not been in a hurry, but she has become more calm... Mr. Wei, is there something wrong? "
What Wang Tigan said was right, but when it comes to a master like Wei Zhongxian, no matter how clear he is, the master still doesn't understand.
Wei Zhongxian smiled and shook his head and said: "Ti Gan, you are overthinking this. Xiao Cui now mistakenly believes that his son is still in our hands, so we continue to act like this. If it doesn't work, find someone more like him."
Yes, it’s enough to let Xiao Cui take a look at it from a distance. Hum, isn’t there a saying that goes well, a wife is worse than a concubine, a concubine is worse than a steal, and a steal is worse than being unable to steal..."
Wang Tiqian is indeed Wei Zhongxian's staunch supporter. He doesn't even doubt it when he sees Mr. Wei. I'm afraid he is really worrying too much.
"Master Wei is wise, Master Wei is powerful..." Wang Tigan said, patting the horse with his beard smooth.
...
At this moment, there was a noise outside the house. Wei Zhongxian and Wang Tiqian looked at each other, knowing that the "Smart Ice" lottery organized by Ma Xiaoquan was about to begin.
Wei Zhongxian stood up, while Wang Tiqian straightened his clothes, opened the door to the room, and Wei Zhongxian was the first to walk out with square steps.
In the courtyard in front of Haoyuexuan, Ma Xiaoquan still stood on the table where he had just stood. At this time, he found a piece of cardboard from somewhere and rolled it into a tubular trumpet shape.
Ma Xiaoquan put the tube of paper to his mouth and said loudly: "Everyone, it's time for the lottery draw. I just put fifty lottery tickets, do you all have them in your hands?"
As soon as Ma Xiaoquan finished speaking, the men standing at the front raised their hands and shook the rolls in their hands. The benefactors and spectators behind also joined in and shouted, making the scene very lively.
