Chapter 33
In the middle of the night, a street watchman knocked on his clapper and passed by. He glanced at Wuhou who was patrolling the street with a knife. .”
The watchman nodded in a hurry. The curfew in the Great Chen Dynasty was very strict. No matter you are a son of nobles or a commoner, except for the royal family, or the big festivals of Yuanzheng and Shangyuan, ordinary days only need to pass the second watch. Therefore, no idlers are allowed on the street, and even if there is an urgent matter, the reason must be explained clearly, and only a pass can be used to go to the street, but you are not allowed to leave the city.
If you are caught wandering around, it is good to be beaten, and there are not a few people who are beaten to death.
The watchman took away the clapper, passed by the corner door of the back room of the west courtyard of the Lin Mansion, and heard the noise inside, so he knew that the servants of the mansion were gathering together to mess around while their master was asleep again.
The whole small courtyard was smelled of alcohol and farts, and the sky was dark. The sound of mahjong, Pai Gow, and dice could be heard endlessly.
"Mrs. Zhao, you're cheating!"
Mrs. Du shouted unhappily, she looked at the cards on the black cloth, and she lost again, she owed [-] wen a few days ago, and now she owes another [-] wen, one of them was not happy, so she lifted the black cloth turn.
Mrs. Zhao said with a smile: "I don't have one. There are so many eyes looking at me, and I only have two hands. If you don't help me, you will turn over me, who will bluff you." Wrap those cards in black cloth, "You You play bad cards and like to gamble, who can you blame."
"This is a matter of willing to fight and suffer, so stop talking and pay quickly."
Someone next to him booed.
Mrs. Du spat: "I don't have any money." She was about to leave, but was held down by Mrs. Zhao, who raised her eyebrows and said, "If you don't have money, what are you playing with? Although this is a shady business, who knows?" There is no reason to leave if you lose money, and if you don’t have money, you can get something back, and you have to give me something.”
"Isn't it okay for my daughter to give you the monthly payment?" Mrs. Du shook her hand, "When did I say I owe you?"
"That's what you said last time. Besides, even if you have two daughters, it's only three taels of silver a month. You owe more than that."
"What? You want me to issue you an IOU." Mrs. Du pinched her waist.
Mrs. Zhao snorted coldly, looked her up and down, and wrapped her card casually: "Oh, I don't know how you are an old woman. Both daughters are in Jianjia Pavilion, but let's not talk about it. The second girl is the best!" I don’t want to see you, but the rain is so shameful, the big maid who waits in the house, I have seen it several times, she can give you whatever she wants, can you just give it to me?”
Speaking of Mrs. Du, she became angry. The last time she went to ask for it, Yu Shui said that these were rewards. She didn't dare to use them casually, nor did her sister dare to give them to her, let alone give her gambling money. scattered.
"That's right." Someone said sarcastically, "What did you do, old woman? The girl is working in the mansion, and she can ascend to heaven by herself. Fortunately, you are better than before."
This time it was considered to be on the lungs of Mrs. Du, she immediately slapped her thigh and said, "I will return the money to you tomorrow, and it won't be worth a penny. If you are short of a penny, my surname will not be Du!"
After all, he pushed away the crowd watching and went out.
Mrs. Zhao snorted and walked out swaggeringly. Someone behind her teased, "This Jianjia Pavilion is really a place for immortals. The second girl doesn't care if they work together. If you go back like this, you won't be afraid that people in the courtyard will see it."
Mrs. Zhao didn't speak, but she didn't know that her palms were sweaty behind her steady steps. Lin Zhao asked her to continue to gamble, and even pointed out that she wanted to win Mrs. Du cleanly.
Today, in order to deal with this Mrs. Du, I really almost used all my life's best skills.

In the early morning of the next day, Lin Zhao was washing her hands. Mang Zhong wiped her hands with a wet towel. When she saw the rain coming with fresh hot water, she suddenly said, "Mang Zhong, where is that set of jewelry?"
Mang Zhong lowered his head and said calmly: "It's in the Westinghouse, and I will send it to Xiangsi Pavilion when I become a slave."
"No need, let the rainwater deliver it."
After hearing the words, Yushui raised his head, and Mangzhong took her to the west room to pick it up, while Lin Zhao threw the wet towel aside, looked at the thin and tall figure, and blinked calmly.
When he arrived at the West Room, Mang Zhong handed the heavy box to Yu Shui: "There are more than a dozen items here, be careful, Aunt Xie's birthday will be in two days, this is a congratulatory gift from the second girl, you have to explain clearly."
Yushui nodded, and carried the box to Xiangsi Pavilion, but was dragged by someone halfway, it was her old woman, Mrs. Du, she was stunned for a moment, and the man said in a slap in the face: "Damn girl, even your old man!" You don’t even recognize your mother? Are you going to be reincarnated in such a hurry?”
Yushui suppressed her face, knowing that this person came to ask her for money again, and she was about to leave without saying a word. Seeing the situation, Mrs. Du held her down again and again, staring at her and said, "What? Are you dumb?" Dressed in expensive clothes, she gritted her teeth and said, "It's nice of you. I fawned on the second girl's food and drink, but in the end I hurt your sister all over her body. She still walks with a limp."
Yu Shui hurriedly said, "I didn't instigate it."
"I still dare to talk to you."
Madam Du twisted her waist against the rain, and she burst into tears. Being wronged by A Niang and her sister in turn, she was already full of displeasure.
"You'd better keep your mouth shut." Mrs. Du said, "Give me some money."
Yu Shui said: "I have no money."
"The second girl gave you so many good things a day, so what if you spared me one, what? I really thought I was a young lady after entering the Jianjia Pavilion? Hurry up and get them, and I won't pester you anymore."
Yu Shui said helplessly: "I really don't have one. I didn't bring out the reward from the second girl."
Mrs. Du looked at her, and pointed to the brocade box in her hand: "What is this? The set of jewelry that the second girl gave to Aunt Xie?" She snatched it up and opened it, counted roughly, at least twenty things, and praised again and again, Seeing that there was no one around, he took a finger wrench and said, "I'll just take this, and I'll take it back when I win, and put it back when the time comes, and nobody will notice it, and no one will know."
Yu Shui said anxiously: "How can this be done, if the second girl finds out..."
"All the things have been sent out, how would the second girl know? Unless you go to sue again!" Mrs. Du curled her lips and said, "Furthermore, Aunt Xie lives like an ant every day, don't tell her this thing I didn’t dare to wear it, so I said that I found less...so diverse, and I can’t notice it, so don’t worry about it here.”
"But……"
Before he finished speaking, he was slapped heavily by Mrs. Du on the face, and the man spat: "Damn girl, if you dare to talk too much, I won't tear you apart." He added, "If you have the time to help your sister, If you eat meat yourself and don’t ask others to drink soup, your sister and I will raise you in vain.”
After finishing speaking, he left, the rain choked up twice, and he didn't dare to say more.
