Chapter 1245 playing cards

The heavy rain stopped and fell, causing no water accumulation in Jinling to cause disaster. Tianxiang took the man to the Pan family in a carriage.

After entering the small study, Pan Laosan looked quite embarrassed when he faced the stranger.

The man said straight to the point: "I know everything about Mr. Pan. You have been delaying this disease for a long time, so it is not easy to get it out."

Pan Laosan was embarrassed to speak and asked Tianshou to help pass the message.

I quickly agreed to pay 100 taels today. If my butt doesn’t itch in ten days, I will give the remaining 200 taels.

The other person agreed and said to Pan Laosan: "Master Pan, you can't touch the fingers of a person, you have to use tools. Please use two taels of gold to dig a nine-inch-long ear. I will come here early tomorrow morning and guarantee that you can get it clean and you will never suffer any more."

This should be the correct treatment method. Since there is no electricity these days, I can only treat it during the day. With a good look, I patiently dig out the dirty things such as hair stubble little by little, and then apply ointment or something. I don’t know the specific details.

Pan Laosan frowned and asked, "Is it okay for gold or silver?"

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

After sending the person away, Pan Laosan was not stupid. He guessed that he would earn two taels of gold for free. He immediately ordered the manager to use two taels of broken silver to go to the silver shop to make gold.

Yisou Garden.

Xiaonan held the yard gate, poked out half of her body and looked ahead, watching Xu Yu turn around and disappear after disappearing, then turned around happily and smiled at Qiu Xiang and Yu'er, "Haha, it's up to us to win the second master."

Qiuxiang said, "Don't look at him not playing cards very much, but he is very powerful. He wins every day during the Chinese New Year."

"Follower." Xiao Nan was confident, "Are you really fighting with him? We three of us are together, are you okay?"

"I knew you would say that." Qiu Xiang smiled, "But I'm sorry to be known to the second master?"

Xiaonan smiled and said, "It's okay. I know that we're just having fun. If you beat him, will he care?"

"That's right." Qiuxiang was moved. Who doesn't want to win money? She smiled and said, "I know a little bit, but I'm afraid that Yu'er won't."

"Why can't I?" Yu'er raised her head proudly.

Qiuxiang asked, "Then tell me how to play? Let's hear it."

Yu'er laughed and said, "I can't play, but I can recognize the cards. I'll play whatever you ask me to play. Wouldn't that be true?"

"Ha!" Xiaonan smiled with satisfaction, "If you can be so obedient and clever, then that's all."

Qiuxiang said suspiciously: "But what card you want, how can you know her then? You also know that Yu'er is a stupid girl. If you don't understand it, wouldn't it be bad?"

"You are stupid." Yu'er was unhappy.

"This is simple." Xiao Nan seemed to be very proficient in cheating. She closed the door and explained the secret code in detail to them.

After saying that, they held a pair of mahjong and a box of chips, and each carried his money bags and went to the study excitedly.

Xu Yu drove the person away in advance and came out to laugh and said, "Did you bring the money?"

"Take it." Xiao Nan raised the sachet embroidered with lotus flowers, "Isn't it enough for one person to bring three or three?"

"Three or two is too young," Xu Yu said with a smile.

Yu'er interrupted, "Didn't the second master say that, and lend it to us if you lose money."

"That's right." Xu Yu smiled, "But what if all three families lose? According to the rules, you will have to stop."

Xiao Nan blinked and pretended to be naive and said, "Of course, all three families borrow money from you. Could it be that the second master's words don't count?"

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

"That's not necessarily." Qiuxiang was very dissatisfied, "It's not necessarily that we lost. You played the cards well, but maybe I'm lucky."

"No." Xu Yu didn't take them seriously. "Playing cards requires skills and mental arithmetic. We have no friends in the casino. Let's make a promise first. If you lose, you are not allowed to regret it."

"It's okay." Xiao Nan said openly, but she felt guilty in her heart, and said again: "We are still planning to tap."

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

Xiaonan said, "No one gives me any more. After slapping, we asked the kitchen to make snacks."

Xu Yu laughed and said, "Yes, whoever wins the money will get the tips, and they will exchange it for snacks."

Qiuxiang admired Xiaonan's idea very much. Even if she lost all the money, she would at least eat a lot of good things, so she would not lose.

When everyone entered the house, Yu'er suddenly asked, "Will the Second Master eat with us?"

"Yes!" Xu Yu was surprised and said, "What's wrong? Who doesn't know that I don't care about this, it's good to eat it together. Oh, I understand. You are old now and have started to care about it. Seeing that Sister Lan Chun and Qiuping have married, or the elders remind you to pay attention to your position, right?"

Unintentionally, Qiuping's affairs could be said to have hit their minds. After all, this was in ancient times. Whether you accept it or not, teenagers must face the reality of growing up. The so-called growth means getting married. They must understand the way of husband and wife, be filial to elders, learn to do housework, etc.

This is the same as the fact that children from poor families have become families early. In ancient times, they must mature early. Even if their minds are not mature, they must obey the words of their elders. This is the case in the whole society, and there is no room for you to act naively and spoiled. This is the fundamental difference between ancient society and modern society.

As everyone gets older, it is inevitable that they will never be as taboo as they were when they were young. They can fight, quarrel, cry and sleep together. They should pay attention to the difference between men and women, pay attention to the rules of conduct, and pay attention to the superiors and inferiors of the superiors and subordinates. Not only should the maids understand, but even Xu Yu should understand, because of his willfulness, although he will not be punished, he will implicate any maids who are close to him.

No one can change it, and Xu Hao can't do it either. This is because the so-called rules put aside immoral feudal hierarchy. Isn't it actually meant to protect slaves? Both the master and the servant are observing etiquette and law, which is a kind of protection for both parties. This is also the core value in a sense of Confucian morality.

In later generations, it was not a problem for young men and women to eat together. It was not possible in ancient times. Men and women had different seats. If they were seated together, they would be considered unstable and hindered their reputation.

Of course, there will be exceptions in conservative society in specific situations. With the relatively open-minded atmosphere of the Xu family, Xu Yu has a good reputation and nothing to eat.

However, Yu'er is young and doesn't understand, so she asked this question, otherwise Xiaonan and Qiuxiang would not play any mahjong with the young master.

Yu'er said: "Recently, sisters are talking about Sister Qiuping every day, envious of her being a young grandmother. I just want everyone to have their own life, so how can they compare with others?"

"Well said it." Xu Yu couldn't help but look at Yu'er, who was open-minded by nature.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Xiang blushed and spat: "What nonsense is it? It's a small person."

Xu Yu seemed to understand a little and smiled and said, "I understand, I understand. It turns out that what you mean is that I eat with you, and I am asking you for the advantage, right?"

Xiao Nan curled her lips and said, "Isn't it a good idea to play cards on one table, eat snacks on the other table, and shuffle cards on the hands of hand?"

Xu Yu was so angry that he knew Xiaonan was right, but the question was who made him grow up? He was so angry that he said, "Even if he takes advantage, I will take advantage of them. What does it have to do with you?"

"That's best." Xiaonan was not willing to be outdone, "I'll sit opposite you, so no one should be next to each other."

"Sit and sit, just stay away from it." Xu Yu said angrily.

Qiuxiang laughed. Among the three girls, Xiaonan is beautiful, she is scheming and has a strong personality. She has been quarreling with Xu Yu since she was a child, and she never gave in. But it was strange that the two of them could always get together. The reason why the young master played with them today is probably largely due to Xiaonan's existence.

Therefore, Qiu Xiang chuckled and said, "Second Master, this is what you said."

Xu Yu glared at Xiao Nan with a smug look and said, "Don't make trouble. I said the wrong thing. Why should we make ourselves stand apart? Play quickly, otherwise we will have dinner again."

Qiuxiang pointed to the inner room and said, "Let's play inside, I'm sorry to be seen here."

"Catch here." Xu Yu disagreed, "No one will come in at any time, but if they are in the inner room, they can see it along the window, and then run in to join in the fun. The room is messy and unclean."

Xiaonan looked at him and asked, "Second Master likes quietness, so why do you like to find many people to play with?"

Xu Yu said: "Are we different? Sometimes we like quietness, sometimes we like to make noise. I was just having fun with Qiuxiang, so why don't I let me have fun with you?"

Xiaonan 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."

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

Yu'er hurriedly grabbed her and smiled and said, "Okay, okay, don't make a fuss, hurry up and have fun."

Qiuxiang sat down, knowing that Xiaonan was deliberately trying to make her character, and she couldn't help but feel envious. She seemed to be unable to argue with the young master, and was always worried about this and that, for fear of accidentally making mistakes. However, Xiaonan and a few maids such as Xiaonan had distinct personalities, dared to speak and do, and were not afraid of being misunderstood by the young master. Instead, they often got closer and had a good relationship.

In this way, Xu Yu and Xiao Nan sat opposite each other, Yu'er took action and Qiu Xiang took action.

Xu Yu first held down the card and said, "I'll agree first. I have never liked playing cards, but since I've played, I won't give in to anyone. I will definitely be rude. Be careful, if I won, I will lose a lot of money."

Yu'er was frightened and quickly said, "Then would you like me? When you come to my house, don't be a big name, will you succeed?"

Xiao Nan sneered, "You listen to him? It's better to make a big name for Hu. How many times can you see it in a day? Tell him to brag, and we take the opportunity to make his money. What are you afraid of?"
