The heavy rain stopped, so that Jinling did not become flooded, and Tianxiang took the man to Pan's house in a carriage.

Entering the small study, Pan Laosan looked quite embarrassed at the living person.

People said straight to the point: "I know everything about Pan Ye." Your illness has been delayed for a long time, and it is not easy to take it out. ”

Embarrassing things, Pan Laosan was embarrassed to speak, and asked Tianshou to help spread the word.

I quickly said that I would pay 100 taels today, and if my butt didn't itch after 10 days, I would give the remaining 200 taels.

The people agreed, and said to Pan Laosan: "Master Pan, people's fingers can't touch the end, you have to use tools." Please dig two taels of gold into a nine-inch long ear, and I will come early tomorrow morning to make sure that what you get is clean, and that you will never suffer again. ”

This should be the right treatment, because there is no electricity in these years, it can only be treated during the day, with good eyes, patiently dig out the hair stubble and other dirty things little by little, and then apply ointment or something, the specific details, even do not know.

Pan Laosan frowned and asked, "Jin's?" Isn't silver good?"

The man shook his head and said, "It must be gold, and silver must not be used."

After sending the people away, Pan Laosan was not stupid, guessing that he was going to earn his two taels of gold for nothing, and immediately instructed the steward to take the broken silver of two taels of bad color to the silver shop and plate it with gold.

A corn garden.

Xiao Nan held on to the courtyard door, leaned out half of his body and looked ahead, and after watching Xu Yu turn the corridor and disappear, he happily turned around and clapped his hands with a smile at Qiu Xiang and Yu'er, "Hehe, let's win a few dollars from the second master." ”

Qiu Xiang said: "Don't look at him who doesn't play cards much, but he is very powerful, and he wins every time during the New Year."

"Fool." Xiao Nan was confident, "Do you really fight him?" The three of us are a partnership, do you think it's okay?"

"I knew you would say that." Qiu Xiang smiled, "But how embarrassed is it to be known by the second master when you turn around?"

Xiao Nan smiled: "It's okay, if you know, you know that we are joking, win him three or two or five taels, will he care?"

"That's right." Qiu Xiang's heart was moved, who doesn't want to win, and said with a smile: "I know a little bit, I'm afraid that Yu'er won't."

"How could I not?" Yu'er raised her head proudly.

Qiu Xiang asked, "Then how do you sue me?" Let's hear it. ”

Yu'er laughed and said: "I don't know how to play, but I know the cards, when you tell me to play, I will play, is that not possible?"

"Huh!" Xiao Nan smiled with satisfaction, "If you can be so obedient and clever, then it will be done." ”

Qiu Xiang said suspiciously: "But what kind of cards do you want, how will you inform her then?" You also know that Yu'er is a stupid girl, and if she doesn't understand it, won't it be bad?"

"You're stupid." Yu'er wasn't happy.

"It's easy." Xiao Nan seemed to be very proficient in cheating, so he closed the door at the moment and explained the code to them in detail.

After finishing speaking, holding a pair of mahjong, holding a box of chips, each carrying a money bag, and excitedly all the way to the study.

Xu Yu drove the people away in advance, came out and said with a smile: "Did you bring any money?"

"Brought it." Xiao Nan held up the sachet embroidered with lotus flowers, "One person brought three taels, isn't it enough?"

"Three taels is too little," Xu Yu said with a smile.

Yu'er interjected: "Didn't the second master say, if you lose the money, you will lend it to us."

"That's right." Xu Yu smiled, "But what if all three of them lose?" According to the rules, the game has to be stopped. ”

Xiao Nan blinked, pretending to be naïve and said: "Naturally, the three families all borrow money from you, if it is not the second master, it doesn't count?"

Xu Yu said confidently: "Okay, you all lost money, I borrowed it, and I didn't plan to win anyway."

"Not necessarily." Qiu Xiang was very unconvinced, "It's not necessarily that we lose, you played your cards well, maybe my luck is better." ”

"No, it won't." Xu Yu didn't take them seriously, "Playing cards pays attention to skills and mental arithmetic, we have no friends in the casino, let's say it first, don't regret it if you lose." ”

"It's fine." Xiao Nan said it openly, but he was honest in his heart, and said, "We still plan to take a beat."

Xu Yu asked, "Who are you going to draw it to?"

Xiao Nan said: "No one will give it, let's call the kitchen to make snacks to eat."

Xu Yu smiled and said, "Yes, whoever wins the money will take the lead and exchange it for snacks to eat."

Qiu Xiang admired Xiao Nan's idea very much, even if she lost all her money, at least she ate a bunch of good things and didn't lose anything.

Everyone entered the house, and suddenly Yu'er asked, "Is the second master also eating with us?"

"yes!" Xu Yu was surprised, raised his eyebrows and said, "What's wrong?" Who doesn't know that I don't pay attention to this, everyone eats together. Oh, I know, now that you are older, you are starting to think about it, seeing that Sister Lan Chun and Qiu Ping are married, or the elders remind you to pay attention to proportion, right?"

Inadvertently, Qiu Ping's matter can be said to be in their hearts, after all, this is ancient times, teenagers whether you accept it or not, you must face the reality of growing up, the so-called growing up is to reach the age of marriage, to understand the way of husband and wife, to know filial piety to elders, to learn to manage housework and so on.

This is the same as the fact that the children of poor families are in charge of the family early, in ancient times, they must mature early, even if the heart is not mature, they have to obey the words of their elders, the whole society is like this, there is no room for you to be naïve and coquettish, this is the fundamental difference between ancient society and modern society.

As everyone gets older, it is inevitable that they can no longer be as taboo-free as when they were children, they can fight together, fight together, cry and laugh together, sleep together, and begin to pay attention to the difference between men and women, pay attention to the rules of conduct, pay attention to the humility of the upper and lower levels, not only the maids must understand, even Xu Yu must understand, because of his willfulness, although he himself will not be punished, he will affect any maid who is close to him.

No one can change it, and neither can Xu Hao, this is because the so-called rules put aside the immoral feudal hierarchy, isn't the essence of it also to protect slaves and maids? Both the master and the subordinate abide by the etiquette and law, which is a kind of protection for both parties, which is also the core value of Confucian morality in a sense.

In later generations, it was not a matter for young men and women to eat together, but in ancient times it was not okay, and men and women did not sit at the same table, and if they sat together, it would be regarded as unstable and would hinder their reputation.

Of course, there will be exceptions in a conservative society, with the relatively enlightened atmosphere of the Xu family, Xu Yu's own good reputation, and a bunch of meals is nothing.

However, Yu'er didn't understand it when she was young, so she asked this question, otherwise Xiao Nan and Qiu Xiang would not have played mahjong with the young master anyway.

Yu'er said: "Recently, my sisters have been talking about Sister Qiuping every day, and I envy her for being a young grandmother, I think everyone has everyone's life, how can I compare with others."

"Well said." Xu Yu couldn't help but look at the open-minded Yu'er.

I didn't want Qiu Xiang to blush, and said, "What nonsense, people are big ghosts."

Xu Yu seemed to understand a little, and said with a smile: "I understand, I understand, it turns out that what you mean by this is that I eat with you, and I am begging you for a bargain, right?"

I saw Xiao Nan pouting and said, "One table of playing cards, one table of snacks, and hand-to-hand shuffling, isn't it a advantage?"

One sentence made Xu Yu angry, knowing that Xiao Nan was right, the question is who has made him grow up? He was so angry that he said: "Even if I take advantage, I am also taking advantage of the two of them, what does it have to do with you?"

"That's for the best." Xiao Nan was not to be outdone, "I'll sit on the door opposite you, and no one will be next to anyone." ”

"Sit down, stay far away." Xu Yu said angrily.

Qiu Xiang smiled, among the three girls, Xiao Nan is beautiful, scheming and strong, since she was a child, she has quarreled with Xu Yu a lot, and never gave an inch. It's also strange, the two of them can always get together, and the reason why the young master plays with them today is probably due to Xiao Nan's storage.

It was Yi Qiuxiang who chuckled and said, "Second master, this is what you said."

Xu Yu glared at the proud Xiao Nan and said, "Don't make trouble." I said the wrong thing, so why should we make our own mistakes? Hurry up and play, or you'll have dinner again. ”

Qiu Xiang pointed to the back room and said, "Let's play inside, it's embarrassing to be seen here."

"Fight here." Xu Yu disagreed, "No one will come in when they are idle, but in the back room, they can all see through the window, and then run in one by one to join in the fun, the room is messy and unclean." ”

Xiao Nan looked at him and asked, "The second master likes to be quiet, so why do you like to play with many people?"

Xu Yu said: "Are we different? Sometimes I like to be quiet, sometimes I like to be noisy. May I ask why you were playing with Qiu Xiang just now, why don't I let me play with you?"

Xiao Nan said: "It doesn't matter if girls play with girls."

Xu Yu immediately laughed and said, "Then you two beat her up, it doesn't matter anyway."

"To play cards or not to play?" Xiao Nan was about to leave, "If you don't play cards, I'll leave." ”

Yu'er hurriedly grabbed her and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't really make a fuss, let's play."

Qiu Xiang sat down, knowing that Xiao Nan was deliberately making a temperament, and she couldn't help but be very envious, like she couldn't quarrel with the young master, she was always worried about this and that, for fear of accidentally becoming self-defeating, but Xiao Nan and a few other maids had distinct personalities, dared to say and do, and were not afraid of being misunderstood by the young master, but often got closer and closer, and had a good friendship.

In this way, Xu Yu and Xiao Nan sat opposite, Yu'er started with him, and Qiuxiang started with him.

Xu Yu first held down the card and said: "Let's say it first, I have never liked to play cards, but since I have played, then I will not let anyone, I will definitely have to do more." Be careful, if I don't win, I'm going to lose a lot of money. ”

Yu'er was not frightened, and hurriedly said, "Then will you give me a favor?" When it comes to my village, don't you make a big name, can you succeed?"

Xiao Nan sneered: "You listen to him? It's better to put the big brand of Hu, how can you see it in a day? Tell him to brag, just so we can take the opportunity to make his money, what are you afraid of?"

Yu'er said with a bitter face: "I'm afraid that when I sit in the village, I happen to have a big card, so what should I do?" I only have two taels of silver, and those two taels are still stealing from Sister Si'er. (To be continued.) )xh118R1052
