In the casino opposite the restaurant, Shen Zuorong took a woman with heavy makeup and sat down at the gaming table.
With the money in his hand, he rented a good house again and bought a woman to serve him. He ate, drank and had fun all day long, leaving his son in his hometown and his wife in prison behind.
At this moment, he was playing dice with a group of gamblers, and the table was filled with shining silver.
"Big~~big~~big~~" Shen Zuorong's triangular eyes were rounded, staring straight at the rolling dice.
"Little~~little~~little~~" The other gamblers also looked nervous, expectant and greedy, waiting for the dice to stop and determine the outcome.
After rolling for a while, the dice stopped. This time, Shen Zuorong lost.
He was not willing to give in. He clearly saw that it had stopped on the side with big dots, but he slowly turned it over and changed it to small dots. What a pity!
"Oh! We were just a little bit close to winning!" Shen Zuorong stamped his feet, with an annoyed look on his face, and betted another ten taels of silver, "One more move! This one is a big bet!'
Shen Zuorong lost again in the second round.
"Fuck him, uncle~~" Shen Zuorong cursed in frustration.
The eyes of the woman in his arms were rounder than his: "Master, if you give me one more blow, it will only take three things. This one is definitely the big one~~"
This woman was a kiln girl named Du Juan, who was in her twenties. Shen Zuorong spent some money to redeem her from the kiln and took her with him.
"Big~~big~~big~~" Shen Zuorong's eyes were full of enthusiasm, and all his attention was on the rolling dice.
In the Nuan Pavilion of Changping Garden, Murong Hong, Zhao Gaoyi and others were still drinking.
Zhao Mo saw that Zhao Gaoyi was spitting when he spoke, and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, Dad, this Qiu Mo'er will definitely help you retaliate, and you will eat what you get."
"The first thing to do in the spring next year is to investigate the origin of the spring water in Penglai Restaurant and completely resolve this matter." He was in his early twenties, showing a calmness and sophistication that belied his age. He was Murong Hong's right-hand man.
"This~~this bitch~~bitch girl, if she can't do business~~, people~~people will be killed~~" After all, the brain nerves have been damaged, and no matter how clear your brain is, your tongue is tied, and you can't speak. Particularly laborious.
The house is very lively today. Dinner has been eaten early in each room and courtyard. The ladies and ladies are dressed up beautifully and are waiting to leave the house and go to the south of the city to watch the ice lanterns.
"Yes, father." Murong Minda responded, calling his brother Murong Jingfu and cousin Zhao Mo, and the three of them left Changping Garden.
Du Juan got the silver and immediately put it on the money.
"Well, it must be like this." 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 won't be able to operate restaurants or teahouses."
It was freezing and snowy outside, but it was extremely hot inside the casino. They sweated a lot when they lost, and sweated again when they won. Their fun was all about the rolling dice.
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.
The house of Murong Hong, the owner of Yongsheng Trading Company, stands proudly in the center of Defu Street. From the street, you can see the Prime Minister's Mansion in the distance, and from the end of the street, you can see the Honor and Lu Marquis Mansion.
Murong Jiao pouted aggrievedly: "Princess Ye is my daughter's savior. My daughter was almost kidnapped by gangsters in Wantian County. If Princess Ye hadn't risked her life to save her daughter, her life might have been ruined."
Although everyone didn't show their dislike, they all put down their chopsticks.
At the gate of Murong Mansion, the ladies and ladies had already boarded the carriage, waiting for Murong Minda and others.
Yongsheng Trading Company has a wide range of businesses. It is not a big deal to lose the restaurant and tea house business, but the key to doing business is to fight for every cent. If it is so easy to hand over business to others, how can Yongsheng Trading Company be so strong and do so well? big?
Hearing everyone mention Shen Yuyu, Zhao Gaoyi couldn't help but feel angry.
If you win, you still want to win more. If you lose, you have to dig deep. You can't get rid of it yourself.
Defu Street in the east of the city is commonly known as Fugui Street.
After arriving in Beijing, I spent some money to find a doctor with excellent medical skills. The disease was almost cured, but some sequelae were left. My right leg was lame and I needed a crutch. In addition, I couldn't speak that fluently.
Du Juan was led by this kind of prostitute to become addicted to gambling. She was a complete gambler and soon dragged Shen Zuorong into the water.
The box of jewelry that Shen Zuorong got from Shen Weiwei was lost by him in just ten days.
Most of the women in brothels serve men from the lowest level of society, poor scholars, and gangsters. Many of them are gamblers. This kind of gambler's mentality has been completely distorted. If you lose, you will sell your son or daughter, and if you win, you will go to the brothel. Here to have fun.
"Big~~big~~big~~" With his firm cry, the dice stopped. He had won. He was overjoyed. He suddenly felt lucky. Winning hundreds of dollars was easy. , glory and wealth seemed to be at his fingertips, and he immediately generously threw three taels of silver to Du Juan.
Can they be on the same path? A princeling or a night king will fight each other sooner or later.
Madam Murong rubbed Murong Jiao's head lovingly and said sincerely.
Zhao Mo raised his glass and took a sip of the wine, "Don't worry, uncle, Mo'er will definitely find a way to find out where the spring water used by the country girl for cooking comes from in the next year. If she can't get the spring water, she will definitely give it to her." Destroy.'
"Yes." Murong Hong took the hot handkerchief handed over by the servant and wiped the corners of his mouth, "The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Let's celebrate the New Year happily. We will discuss other things after the New Year. By the way, tonight's Ice Lantern Festival, Minda Then go out and play with your cousins."
Zhao Gaoyi had been doing business for many years and accumulated a lot of money, so he naturally bought a house in the capital.
…
The brothels of ancient times are not comparable to the high-end and elegant brothels. The girls in the brothels are many with outstanding talents, and they are also served by high-ranking officials.
In addition, he and Shen Yuyu had fought against each other in Wantian County, and he knew Shen Yuyu very well. Murong Hong planned to reuse him after the New Year.
Normally, attending banquets would not be offensive, and one would only listen and not speak, but now I couldn't bear it any longer. This appearance was all thanks to Shen Yu'an, and he hated her so much that he gritted his teeth.
"Jiaojiao, the Ice Lantern Festival is a grand event, and the Palace of the Night King will definitely go to watch the lanterns. When you see Princess Night, don't get close to her. She is not only your father's competitor, but also your uncle's enemy. You and her are so close It will cause public outrage in the near future."
Murong Hong's eldest son, Murong Minda, the young owner of Yongsheng Trading Company, picked his teeth and spoke calmly.
Madam Murong shook her head and said earnestly, "If you have different paths, you and she are not destined to be on the same path."
After a pause, he added: "She saved you, and you helped her, so the two sides are settled.'
Murong Jiao responded helplessly: "My daughter knows."
Soon, Murong Minda came out with a group of young masters, instead of taking a carriage, they walked on foot through the rustling thick snow.
Not long after we came out of the mansion, we met the carriage of the Rong Lu Marquis Mansion approaching. After everyone said hello, they headed south of the city together.
