Chapter 7 Chapter Seven Good Ways to Make Money

"Jiang Xiaohu, hurry up!" "Honey, I'm so hungry." The sound of "cuckoo" came, and I didn't know whose stomach was screaming. Miss Lan stopped and looked at Jiang Xiaohu discouragedly: "Actually, I am also very hungry." Jiang Xiaohu worried: "If there is no money, we will all starve to death." "what to do?" "Then you still give the money to that old woman..." When this matter was mentioned, Miss Lan was angry: "Didn't you see how pitiful she is!" Jiang Xiaohu murmured: "I am more pitiful than her."

"How dare you say that!" Miss Lan raised his ear. "Don't dare," Jiang Xiaohu cried, covered his ears with his hands, and yelled, "Don't screw me, my wife, you see, I am more pitiful than her, I am hungry, and I will be beaten." Miss Lan stared at him for a long time, then suddenly burst out laughing, let go of him, her eyes curved like the moon: "You are right, Xiaohu, you really seem to be more pitiful than her." Jiang Xiaohu nodded again and again: "It's good that my wife knows." Food and clothing are a big problem, and the need of the stomach is getting stronger and stronger. After thinking for a while, Miss Lan took off the only jewelry on her body, that is, the pair of white jade earrings that couldn't be smaller. Not stolen by thieves.

She held the earring sadly and looked at it for a while, then whispered: "It was given to me by my mother when I was fourteen years old." "you……" "Be it." Jiang Xiaohu took the earrings to the pawn shop, and Miss Lan stood alone at the intersection, watching the faces passing by in front of her, recalling the past life, she felt a lot of desolation, and what made her even more sad was that now almost Everyone in the city knows that Miss Lan is a tigress, because not only did she break into the brothel herself last night, she even threw her husband out of the window with her own hands. Tigress, this is the most embarrassing title for a woman!

"But Xiaohu doesn't hate me very much." She murmured. At this moment, someone in the alley next to her waved to her: "Miss!" Seeing who was coming, Miss Lan put aside her melancholy, surprised and delighted: "Why are you here!" "Master called me here!" Deep in the alley. The maid cautiously looked at the entrance of the alley, and after confirming that no one was eavesdropping, she took Miss Lan's hand and looked at it carefully, surprised: "It's only been two days since I saw you, why did Miss look like this, where is your jewelry? Didn't you say that you have money to do business?"

Miss Lan blushed, and before she could explain much, she asked, "How are my parents?" The maid nodded. Only then did Miss Lan feel relieved: "What does Daddy want from me?" "Miss is so fierce to Jiang Xiaohu, Master is so angry now," the servant girl looked at her in embarrassment, and still stammered out what Master Lan had said, "Master said, since Miss is disobedient, she must marry her." If you give it to Jiang Xiaohu, you should take good care of your husband, and you can't humiliate the family and make people laugh at our Lan family for being uneducated."

Miss Lan refused: "But he's going to that kind of place..." "My little aunt guessed it too. She told me to tell the lady that men like that, just get used to it." The servant girl smiled, "Miss, as long as you please your husband, others will praise you for your virtuousness." "I don't want that," Miss Lan insisted, "Xiaohu will like me." The servant girl shook her head: "The master said that men don't like tigresses. Now that you are married, you should find ways to please your husband. What happened yesterday has already made people laugh. From now on, miss is not allowed to hit Jiangxiaohu again."

Everyone knows the relationship between the Lanjiang family. Although the Jiang family is now in decline, Miss Lan still understands her father's thoughts. Well!" The servant girl told her a few more words: "Miss, just remember, the old lady is waiting at home, I want to go back soon." Miss Lan hurriedly held her back: "Wait, do you have money on you?" The servant girl blinked: "The master said that you married someone privately, so you are not allowed to give money." Miss Lan was so angry that she let go of her hand: "Forget it, who cares!"

Seeing her anger, the servant girl pursed her lips and smiled: "Although I didn't bring any money, I did bring two pieces of jewelry that young ladies usually use. If I save a little, I can spend a few days." "Great!" "Xiaohu, we can't always live by being things, otherwise you will be even more useless." "Then I'll make money." "No, let's go together," Miss Lan realized something was wrong, immediately narrowed her eyes, and stared at him defensively, "You will definitely go to gamble again after taking the money!"

"My wife is amazing, I know that too," Jiang Xiaohu sighed and nodded, "I really don't know any other way to make money except gambling." "See how others make money, so we will make money." Miss Lan thought for a while, and pointed to an old woman selling sesame seed cakes in the distance, "Why don't we sell sesame seed cakes?" Jiang Xiaohu looked at her: "Can you make biscuits?" "Won't." "I do not know either." "Then... shall we open a cloth shop?" "Honey, how many pieces of cloth are these taels of silver enough to buy?"

"Then wait until you earn more." Jiang Xiaohu sighed again: "You see, we don't know anything. It would be nice if we can earn less. How can we earn more?" Miss Lan didn't speak anymore. Since she was a child at home, she spent her clothes, hands and food, and opened her mouth. Where did she learn how to make a living, but if she doesn't make any money now, sooner or later, this little money will be for nothing. "Honey, do you have a plan?" "Why do you only ask me?" Miss Lan was irritated, "You're a man, so it's useless!"

Jiang Xiaohu glanced at her, sat down on the nearby rock, put his hands on his knees, and looked very frustrated: "I'm useless in the first place, so you should stop following me and go back." Miss Lan was angry: "What!" "I didn't want to drive you away," Jiang Xiaohu was not afraid this time when he saw her getting angry, and murmured, "Thank you for staying with me for these few days, but you will suffer if you follow me, I don't want to see you suffer. " Miss Lan was stunned. Jiang Xiaohu bowed his head: "It's hard to live a good life with me, I don't want my wife to go hungry every day." Miss Lan bowed her head slowly: "But you won't be so useless forever." Jiang Xiaohu raised his face and looked at her: "If I've been so useless all this time, will you still be with me?" Miss Lan didn't answer, she was silent for a long time, she also sat down beside him suddenly, held Jiang Xiaohu's hand and said softly: "It's okay Xiaohu, as long as you want to be useful, you will definitely become useful in the future." Jiang Xiaohu laughed happily: "Really?" "real." After the young couple encouraged each other, they were full of confidence in the future. They sat side by side on the rock and began to think hard, looking for a good way to make money. for a moment. The two looked up at the same time and looked at each other. Jiang Xiaohu coughed twice, and quickly looked away: "Is there anything my wife can do?" Miss Lan hurriedly bowed her head: "No." "Then... what should I do?" "How about... let's go to gamble?" whispered. "it is good." Under the dim light, the smell of alcohol, smoke, fat, and powder mixed into a pungent smell, pervading the five spacious halls, each with three large tables, a Pai Gow, a dice, and an odd and double table. , In addition, there are four big men in black patrolling, in charge of order and commission, gamblers gather around the table, men and women, old and young, everyone has oily faces, with different expressions, Nervous, excited, frustrated... The bejeweled girls smiled coquettishly, shuttling back and forth between the gaming tables, greeting regular customers. This is not Yongcui Tower, but the largest casino in the city, Qiufengtang. Huddled with the gamblers, Miss Lan felt a little uncomfortable at first, but after a few bets, her luck was surprisingly good, and a small piece of silver quickly turned into a small pile. The pile of money turned into a big pile again, and she was very happy to make so much money for the first time. "Seven o'clock is small, it's small again!" Everyone booed. "Wow, my wife is lucky!" Jiang Xiaohu cheered from the side. "There's a trick to this." Miss Lan was proud, and she was embarrassed to say that it was because he threw the pond into the pond to feed the goldfish. After returning home, she practiced dice hard, and she actually developed a skill in gambling. The money flowed into the pockets, his husband and wife pushed for a winning streak, but the others looked ashen, sweating profusely, and talked a lot. Unexpectedly, the useless Jiang Xiaohu is now married to a beautiful woman who is as beautiful as flowers, and his gambling skills are still so good Well, even if it was a tigress, he still took advantage of it. Gradually, many people at this table dispersed. Jiang Xiaohu tugged at her, and whispered: "Honey, that's enough, if this goes on, no one will dare to bet with you in the future." Only then did Miss Lan regain her senses, and found that less than half of the people at the table were left, and the rest had gone to other tables to search for books, so she quietly leaned into Jiang Xiaohu's ear and said her plan: "I want to go to the other table again." Gamble a few times, earn more money to open a cloth shop, and you won’t have to gamble again in the future.” "So I won't gamble anymore." Jiang Xiaohu was disappointed. Miss Lan gave him a hard look, and said loudly, "Who else is coming?" "I come." The voice is soft and boneless, neither light nor heavy, just right, and there are giggles in it, which is extremely provocative and seductive in your ears, as if there is a naked woman standing in front of you, wearing a thin layer of cloth on her body. In the gauze, the peaks and valleys are looming, but you can only watch and can't do anything. That kind of feeling is both enjoyable and tortured, and it makes people itch. Hearing this voice, Jiang Xiaohu only felt a ray of spring breeze swaying in his heart without warning, and his whole body was brittle, and when he saw the beautiful woman who came walking, his eyes were so dizzy that his soul flew into the sky. It looked like he didn't know where he was. In fact, it wasn't just him, all the men in the hall had their necks stiff, their eyes were looking in the same direction, and they didn't care about the cards and dice on the table, even Miss Lan, who was also a woman, was stunned. The beautiful woman's red dress is like fire, but her skin is as clear as snow, her eyes are slanted, as if giving birth to a child who wants to seduce the soul of the person, just with this look, if she wants someone's life at this moment, she must be willing that's it! Being stared at so rudely by men, she didn't seem to care, her eyes were only looking at Jiang Xiaohu with her deadly eyes. "I'll bet with you, okay?" Want to bet with him?All the men were disappointed, and they were cursing in their hearts. Damn, this useless kid has a lot of good luck! "Okay..." Jiang Xiaohu himself seemed to be dazed, his eyes were glued to her body, unable to move, he just nodded stupidly, and murmured, "Let's bet..." "No more gambling!" The delicate voice interrupted him, and Miss Lan gave him a hard pinch. "Ouch!" Amidst the screams, Jiang Xiaohu finally came back to his senses, and smiled regretfully, "No more gambling, no more gambling..." It turned out that this kid was not so lucky. All the men felt more balanced in their hearts, and even felt a little gloating. Fortunately, I didn't marry such a tigress. "Your wife is jealous." The woman in red covered her mouth and giggled as she looked at Jiang Xiaohu. "Nonsense, who is jealous!" Miss Lan blushed, and pulled Jiang Xiaohu to leave, "We will not gamble today, you can find someone else!" The woman in red didn't stop her, she just glanced at the four big men in black in the hall, showing a puzzled look: "If you win, you leave. There is such a rule in Qiufengtang?" Although Qiufengtang is an underground casino, the rules are very strict and fair. In addition, there is a lot of power behind it. No one dares to cheat and make trouble. That's why the business has grown so big. Now that the big men in black heard what she said, they immediately went to the casino. Stop the two before. Jiang Xiaohu blinked, leaned into Miss Lan's ear, and laughed together: "Honey, this is the rule, so just bet with her... Ouch, no bet! No more bets!" His foot was stomped heavily, and he jumped away screaming. Miss Lan turned around blankly, sat down on the chair beside the table, looked at the woman in red and said coldly: "I won't gamble if I say no, if you don't want to leave, just wait here .” "Oh?" The woman in red was not angry at all, but smiled more happily, looking at Jiang Xiaohu sympathetically, "So you married a tigress." These words are neither serious nor serious, but they hit Miss Lan's heart, she jumped up from the chair like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and sneered: "Who is the tigress! I won't bet with you today!" ,how!" As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of bell-like laughter from above his head. "If you don't bet with her, then bet with me!"
