The Regent's Sweetheart

Chapter 261 The only hobby
"Come on, girl, take it." Aunt Hua handed the wine jar tied with a rope to Xuemei.

Xuemei took it and asked, "How much?"

"A total of 120 yuan." Aunt Hua said with a smile.

120 money?Xuemei was a little surprised, the small jars were sold by the pound, and there were three jars in total, so the price of a pound of wine was [-] yuan.

Seeing her doubtful expression, Aunt Hua smiled and said, "Girl, this rice wine is twenty yuan a catty, while pear blossom wine and peach blossom wine are more expensive, fifty yuan a catty."

"Okay." Xuemei readily took out the copper coins. She didn't think it was expensive, but that it was too cheap.

After paying the money, she followed Little Niqiu out of the village. After getting into the carriage, she couldn't help but want to have another sip of peach blossom wine, but finally held back.

"How is it? I didn't lie to you, did I?" Little Niqiu said with a smile, and his whole body was a little more ruffian.

Xuemei snorted softly, then took out a ten tael silver ingot from her purse, and said, "It's for your traveling expenses."

Although she doesn't know much about wine, she thinks the wine is pretty good, and her mother will be satisfied when she takes it back.

After arriving at Royal Street, the two parted ways.

At this time, a middle-aged man came over and grabbed the little Niqiu by the shoulders!

This frightened the little loach, his face turned pale, and he turned his head slowly as if his shell was stuck.

After seeing the middle-aged man's face, Little Loach felt relieved, pushed the middle-aged man's hand away in disgust, and said, "I was scared to death, who did I think!"

Taking a closer look, this middle-aged man was the one who said in the morning that his father was paralyzed after drinking alcohol, and he wanted to buy all the wine in one go.

The middle-aged man stretched out his hand and said impatiently: "You little bastard, where have you gone? Do you want to renege on your debt? Give me the money!"

"Who reneged?" Little Loach was unhappy on the spot.

The middle-aged man sneered and said mockingly: "You have been cheated and abducted here for so many years, how can I not know you?" He urged impatiently: "Give me the money!"

"Here you are!" Little Loach took out a tael of silver and threw it to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man held it in his hand and looked at it, and immediately said unhappy: "Isn't it the agreed two taels? Why is it missing?"

"Did you forget the money you owed me last time?" Little Loach asked.

The middle-aged man seemed to remember it too, put away his anger for a while, curled his lips and stuffed the money into his arms, raised his chin and said in greeting: "Let's go, come back tomorrow."

Seeing the middle-aged man leave, Little Niqian looked around and saw the imperial guards wandering here in the distance, so he turned around and entered an alley.

Passing through this alley, you came to a gambling house.

He didn't have any hobbies in his life, but he liked to gamble a little. Anyway, he was very comfortable alone, sleeping in Daxiangguo Temple when he was sleepy, and buying sesame cakes when he was hungry.

Changle Gambling House is the biggest gambling house in the capital. As far as he knows, it was opened by a certain prince, but he didn't dare to inquire about the specifics. Anyway, he can't afford to mess with such a person.

The casino is noisy during the day, no worse than when it is most crowded at night.

The people guarding the door saw that it was Little Loach, and they didn't intend to stop them. They were all regular customers anyway. The second floor is full of big bets for the rich, and the first floor is suitable for ordinary people to try their luck.

Little Loach walked in, and there was a lot of excitement inside, some were happy, and some were cursing their mothers angrily, he stopped at the side where he guessed the size.

The dealer yelled to buy it and leave, so he took out five taels of silver and pressed it.
