Then Song Jinning heard such a story.
The Liu family is a good Xinglin family, and the ancestors naturally hope that the descendants of future generations can inherit their mantle.
But as the so-called dragon has nine sons, not all the descendants of the Liu family have the talent to study medicine.
For example, Liu Lanxi's father is not a medical student.
The point is, not only is he not expected to study medicine, but because he is the youngest in the family and has been favored by his mother since he was a child, he has been raised as a playboy. He knows everything about eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and he is also proficient in everything.
With such a bastard father, Liu Lanxi's son has shown a rare talent for studying medicine since he was a child.
He was brought up by his uncle, and all his abilities also came from his uncle. Later, he was able to enter the Royal Hospital thanks to his uncle's recommendation.
In fact, in Liu Lanxi's heart, the uncle is his father, and his biological father is not worthy to be his father at all.
But even so, for the sake of filial piety, he still had to respect and obey his biological father.
But he didn't expect that his biological father would be such a jerk that he took the betrothal gift he wanted to give to his fiancée's family and lost it all in a gambling shop.
Seeing that three days later would be the day of the next appointment, where would he go to raise such a dowry gift
My mother's hair turned white overnight when she was worried at home. But both mother and son were unwilling to seek help from their uncle.
The two families have long since separated. Although the uncle is an imperial doctor, his salary is not much. He also has a big family to support, and he has helped their family a lot over the years, how can he be ashamed to say this
So after two days of worrying at home, he went to that casino just now, thinking to talk to the owner of the casino. Ask him to be flexible and return the betrothal gifts his father lost to him for the time being, and later he will slowly return the corresponding money to the gambling house.
The result can be imagined.
He was severely humiliated by the people in the gambling house. What did you say that you have never heard of things that have entered the casino and can be returned. He also said that Liu Lanxi is no longer an imperial doctor, and he can only be a doctor of Youfang in the future. Even if the dowry is really returned to him, when will he return the converted money? It's clear that they are here to cheat.
He also said that there are people in their superiors, even if you come to make trouble for us, we are not afraid. At that time, someone will arrest him and take him to the Yamen to let him eat in prison. Who would dare to marry their daughter to him then
After hearing these words, Song Jinning and Gu Yu had very different concerns.
Gu Yu's focus is: "Doctor Liu, so you have a fiancée?"
While talking, she was still squinting at Song Jinning.
Song Jinning understood in her heart. But she just thought it was funny.
Did this girl think that she fell in love with Liu Lanxi
No wonder in the past when she was asked to go to the imperial hospital to ask Liu Lanxi to come over to answer her questions, this girl was so nonchalant that she didn't want to go.
Song Jinning didn't bother to explain this. Instead, she asked Liu Lanxi the question she cared about: "Why, you are not an imperial doctor now?"
Liu Lanxi looked embarrassed.
"After all, it's because of my inexperienced medical skills, that's why Doctor Zhou just said that I'm not suitable to stay in the Royal Hospital to ask the masters for their pulse."
Song Jinning's evaluation of this is just two words, nonsense!
Liu Lanxi's medical skills are recognized even by the Empress Dowager Song, so how could she be incompetent? There must be other tricks in it.
But for the time being, it is not the time to ask these questions, the most important question right now is to get back all those betrothal gifts.
Just now she promised Liu Lanxi that no matter what happened, she would help him solve it, and now is the time to fulfill this promise.
So she asked Gu Yu to give Liu Lanxi all the pastries and preserves that she held in her arms and hands.
Gu Yu and Liu Lanxi were very confused by this, not knowing what she was going to do.
Song Jinning said to Liu Lanxi with a pleasant face: "Please trouble Doctor Liu to sit in a nearby teahouse and look after these candied pastries for me. I'll come back to you later."
When she turned to face Gu Yu, Song Jinning slowly pressed the knuckles of the five fingers of her left hand in turn with her right hand.
There was a clear clicking sound.
"I haven't exercised for a long time. Yu'er, let's go, let's go to that gambling house."
Gu Yuyuan is also a troublemaker, and the daily life of following the rules in the palace for more than half a year has really made her unable to hold back. Now that Song Jinning said this, she almost couldn't help but cheer.
But even so, her round face was flushed with excitement.
"Girl, do we want to bring a guy?"
Song Jinning: ...
Song Jinning gave her a blank look.
"What good thing do you think? I'm going to let them know what a gambling saint is. What are you doing with a guy?"
Gu Yu: ...
Hey, I thought it was a fight. Really, white excited.
He just followed Song Jinning to that wishful gambling house with his head drooping.
The door of the casino is quite big. There were a few people with folded arms standing at the door, and they could tell at a glance that they were thugs trying to prevent people from making trouble.
Seeing that Song Jinning and Gu Yu were going to enter the casino, these people were surprised at first, and then laughed maliciously.
"Hey, why did this little lady come to our gambling house? Could it be that she wants to find her own man in our gambling shop?"
Although Song Jinning still thinks that she is a girl, and she is used to calling herself a girl when she is outside, but the hair bun of those who have been married must be different from that of Yunying's unmarried girl.
That's why these people knew that Song Jinning was married when they saw the bun on Song Jinning's head, so they directly said that she was his wife.
In fact, she is not annoyed by her wife, but what the hell is the little lady? And what the hell are you guys saying in that sloppy tone
Gu Yu couldn't hold his breath for the first time, pointed at the man who spoke just now, and shouted: "Shut up your words!"
What does it mean to come to a casino to find your own man? If my mother tells who her man is, she will scare you all to the ground!
Song Jinning raised his hand to stop her.
"My man doesn't gamble."
She was smiling, innocent and ignorant, "But I bet. It just so happens that money is a little tight, so I want to come to your casino to earn some money."
The men mentioned all laughed.
"It turns out that this little lady didn't come to our casino to find a man, but came to gamble by herself."
One of them had a particularly large neckline. The man in a brown short jacket glanced up and down at Song Jinning, with a greasy and wretched smile.
"I just don't know if my lady's gambling skills are good. If not, I'll lose all my money by then, and maybe I'll have to mortgage myself in our gambling shop to pay off my gambling debts."
"Heizi, why did you talk to this little lady?"
A shorter man next to him immediately interjected, "Such a flowery little lady, how can we be willing to mortgage her in our gambling house to pay off the gambling debt?"
Turning his gaze to Song Jinning, the smile on his face was greasy and wretched compared to the man in the brown bunt just now.
"Little Madam, if you lose and have no money, you can take off your clothes. How about taking off a piece of clothing, and my brothers can scrape together two taels of silver for you?"
There was a burst of laughter.
Gu Yu was so angry that her fists hardened. If Song Jinning hadn't stopped her, she would have been able to punch the heads of these men right now.
"Whether you win or lose, how can you know if you don't compete at the gambling table."
Song Jinning still had a smile on her face, "Yu'er, let's go in."
Don't be in a hurry to smash these dog men right now, go in first and have a good fight, and let them kneel down later.
Two people entered the casino. As for the two guards who followed, Song Jinning ordered them to wait outside from the very beginning.
There is no way, these two guards are tall and burly, and they look like Lianjiazi. If they bring the two of them together, maybe the people in the gambling shop will be afraid of her and won't let her go in to gamble. How can she let go of her hands and feet to win money
Song Jinning said she likes pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger the most.
The space in the gambling house is quite large, and of course there are many people. It is indeed the number one gambling house in the capital that Liu Lanxi said.
He also seemed to have said that the boss of the gambling shop had colluded with several officials in the court, so the boss was usually very arrogant. Not only return the gambling house, but also give loan sharks to the gamblers on the surface.
If someone didn't pay the usury, it would be easy to ask someone to come to grab things and break his hands and feet, and even directly dragged the other party's wife and daughter to sell to Qinlou Chuguan to pay off the debt.
When Song Jinning was listening to these words, she was already thinking, what would such an inhumane boss do? Wasting food? He must be done!
Walking up and down the casino with her hands clasped, Song Jinning was thinking of something to gamble on first.
Horse crane? Pai Gow? These are okay to pass the time, but it is too slow to win money.
His gaze slowly turned to rolling the dice.
this is not bad. Shake it, guess the size, and win money immediately.
He winked at Gu Yu.
Gu Yu understood, took two steps forward, pawed and stretched with both hands, and forcibly 'killed' a passage in the crowded crowd.
She even pulled a chair to the side and set it up, and then respectfully invited Song Jinning to come over.
The momentum of this appearance must be sufficient.
So Song Jinning, with a mysterious, calm and tall face, walked over slowly with folded hands and sat down in the chair.
I have to say that her appearance is indeed very bluffing. At least the surrounding circle of young and old men were all overwhelmed by her.
No one spoke for a while, and needles could be heard on the spot.
In the end, the person who rolled the dice was the first to react and asked Song Jinning: "Madam, are you here to gamble?"
While asking this question, he looked her up and down suspiciously.
No wonder he was puzzled. Since the casino opened, only men have come to gamble, and no women have ever come in. What's more, she is such a young and beautiful daughter-in-law.
As an 'expert', how can I speak at this time? As soon as he spoke, the momentum was gone.
So Song Jinning continued to sit still in the chair with her hands in her hands, and only glanced at Gu Yu out of the corner of her eye.
Gu Yu immediately began to act as her spokesperson throughout the whole process.
"You're asking this question. You don't want to gamble in the casino, so why not drink tea?"
The man who rolled the dice obviously hesitated: "But no woman has ever come in to gamble in our gambling house... . . . "
"It didn't exist before, but isn't it available now?"
Gu Yu raised his chin, pretending that you are all bastards who would not kneel down and kowtow to look down upon all sentient beings when seeing my empress come here, and said impatiently, "Isn't it just for people to come to gamble when you open a gambling house? What do you care about men and women? What, are you afraid that we have no money?"
It was also the first time for the other people blocking the way to see a woman gambling in a gambling house. Moreover, she was a very beautiful woman, and everyone became excited.
One by one they started booing.
"This little lady is right. If you run a gambling shop, the door is open. As long as you have money, you can come in to gamble, regardless of whether he is a man or a woman. How can you refuse customers?"
"And you are still afraid of losing money? With the looks of these two young ladies, if you lose and stay in your gambling shop to pay off the debt, wouldn't you be making a lot of money?"
The following words became more and more unsightly.
Gu Yu was furious, clenched her fists, and punched the table with a fierce punch.
The dice, dice cup, and some scattered silver on the table flew into the air with her fist before falling down.
"Are you going to bet on us or not? Hurry up and give me an accurate word."
If you dare to say a word not to gamble with us, believe it or not, my aunt will immediately tear down your arrogance and temper in this broken gambling house with your bare hands.
Everyone: ...
Mother, I can't tell that this little lady is thin and weak, but she has such great strength.
Obviously, Gu Yu's punch still had a shocking effect. Because after the punch, the person who rolled the dice immediately nodded in agreement.
The temporary chaos ended, and the dice roller pressed the dice cup with his right hand.
With a wave of his hand, he immediately swept the three dice that were still on the table into the dice cup.
Then there was a dizzying movement of shaking dice cups up, down, left, and right. And the tinkle and clank of the dice as they hit the wall of the dice cup.
After a while, there was only a slap, and it was the dice cup being slapped on the table.
With his hand off the cup, the man began to yell.
"Buy big and small? Buy and leave!"
People around the table start betting. Some bet big and some bet small, and they kept urging that person to open the dice cup quickly.
The man didn't open the dice cup, but asked Song Jinning: "Is this little lady going to buy big or small?"
Hmph, wasn't it quite arrogant just now, now let the young master teach you how to behave.
Song Jinning still sat without moving, and only used his eyes to signal Gu Yu to place a bet with money.
As for whether to buy big or small, Gu Yu can tell just how well this person rolls the dice, so there's no need for her to talk nonsense.
Gu Yu really heard that the three dice rolled out were one, three, and six, so he excitedly wanted to bet with money.
But as soon as she opened the silver purse at her waist, the excitement on her face froze.
Dry! Forgot to put all the money for leaving the palace today on Bai Lu. The scraps of silver she had on her body were all used up when she bought pastries and preserves in the shop.
At the moment, her purse is clean, not a single coin is gone.
