Chapter 32
As she spoke, she led Qin Yongzhan to a side door. The door was not big, but there was a cave inside.

A large number of people gathered around several tables, and there was no one in the crowd. In front of each table, there was a man in festive clothes holding a gong.

Whenever someone wins money, they knock the gong once, and the gong knocker in front of the first table is beaming and knocks three times in a row: "Congratulations, Mr. Qiao, for winning 3000 taels in this game just now!"

The loser was dejected. There was congratulations all around Mr. Qiao. He cupped his hands and said, "I bought the tea for this game today! Hahaha."

Qin Yongzhan was watching with excitement. He had just watched that man win a full 3000 taels in less than a quarter of an hour!

He asked Zhu Niang anxiously: "How do you play with this?"

Zhu Niang spread her lips and smiled: "You need chips to play this. If you don't want to leave the child, you won't be able to trap the wolf. Master, come with me here and I will take you to exchange it."

The place where the chips are exchanged is 100 taels for each chip. Qin Yongzhan was hesitating next to him, and Zhu Niang advised: "Young Master, why don't you exchange more, since you will be back later."

Qin Yongzhan was persuaded by her and exchanged another 1000 taels of silver.

Zhu Niang smiled even brighter when she saw this, and let Qin Yongzhan hold her waist and go to the gambling table.

Li House.

It was already late at night, and Li Baojia was already lying on the bed, but her eyes were still rolling, and it seemed that she was not asleep yet.

Xiao Tao sleeps in the side room, so that if she has anything to do in the middle of the night, she can get up to take care of her. There is someone on duty outside.

Li Baojia climbed up quickly and put his ear to the edge of the door. Seeing that there was no movement inside and outside, he quietly opened the door crack and slipped out.

There is a water storage place in the courtyard, which is used for the kitchen.

She sneaked near the kitchen, picked one of the large vats, picked up a gourd and filled a big ladle, gritted her teeth and poured it on herself.

Water flowed down from the top of her head, and the silk underwear she wore for sleeping was mostly wet. Although it was May now, the temperature dropped quickly at night, and the slightest breeze would give her a chill.

She was afraid that the effect would not be enough, so she poured two more large gourds of water in succession, and she also let the cold wind blow in the courtyard for an hour before going in.

When she went in, she changed her clothes, wiped her head, and sneezed twice before falling asleep groggy and wrapped in a quilt.

She thought vaguely: I hope the results will be good tomorrow...

-

Day two.

Xiao Tao woke up and asked people to prepare water and face towels. She took them to the inner room and planned to wake Li Baojia up.

Li Baojia was still huddled in the quilt at this time, rolled into a ball. Xiao Tao nudged her in a funny way: "Miss, you're up."

"Well……"

Xiao Tao tried to push her again, but Li Baojia turned over, and Xiao Tao was startled.

Her forehead was profuse with sweat, her whole face was flushed red, strands of hair were sticking to her forehead, her eyes were tightly closed, and she looked very sad.

Xiao Tao stretched out her hand to explore her forehead, and it was frighteningly hot. She quickly shouted: "Someone, come quickly!"

Several girls outside the door came in quickly, and Xiao Tao said anxiously: "Go and ask the doctor and madam to come over quickly! Miss has a fever!"

Several maids hurriedly ran out. Xiao Tao soaked the face towel next to her, then twisted it dry and put it against Li Baojia's forehead, looking at her worriedly.

She really couldn't understand. She was fine last night, but this morning she was like this?
She never imagined that the young lady who she thought had fallen asleep early yesterday would go out and get herself soaked in the cold and exposed to the wind.

Li Baojia just felt in a trance now, and his eyes were so dizzy that he couldn't even see.

Mrs. Huang over there was anxious after hearing the news. Li Wangde, who spent the night at her place last night, also heard the noise. He frowned: "Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. Is she sick today?"

Mrs. Huang was anxious to see her, and Li Wangde did not go to court today because he was worried about the situation of the Lantern Festival tomorrow, so he went too.

The two of them stepped into Li Baojia's small courtyard. The doctor was already examining her. The doctor touched his beard and said: "Miss is infected with wind and cold. She needs to take two pills to remove the wind and cold. She will just take good care of her in the past few days. "

Li Wangde asked: "Will it affect tomorrow's Lantern Festival trip?"

Mrs. Huang was wiping tears beside her: "What about the Laozi Lantern Festival? If I don't go, I won't go. Is it important to have Jia'er's body?"

The Lantern Festival is indeed a very important festival for unmarried daughters, but there are many activities to be held, which is really tiring.

The doctor thought about it and said, "It's okay not to do too strenuous activities and not to blow the wind."

Li Wangde felt relieved and the doctor prescribed medicine to help him retreat.

Although Li Baojia was feeling uncomfortable at the moment, she had not forgotten today's business.

She tugged at her clothes as if she was feeling uncomfortable, her face was red and she was furious: "Father..."

Mrs. Huang hurried over to help her hand, and Li Wangde also looked over.

"I saw a huge fire in the brothel... I also saw a lot of money, and many people with weapons entered the censor's house next door. It was really, really scary."

Mrs. Huang wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief: "Why is this child talking nonsense?"

Li Wangde didn't take this seriously either.

Li Baojia spoke intermittently: "I also saw that something happened to my second uncle... Our family is the same as the Censor's family... I'm so scared."

Hearing this, Li Wangde said: "Stop thinking wildly. This kind of thing is impossible. You can rest in peace and recuperate. You can't be absent tomorrow."

After speaking, he strode away.

He came and left quickly, but Li Baojia felt relieved, knowing that her goal had been achieved.

In order not to disturb her sleep, Mrs. Huang told Xiao Tao to keep an eye on her and quietly left.

Li Baojia fell into a deep sleep again. Before she lost consciousness completely, she thought with some annoyance: It seems that she has completely overestimated her physical fitness, and her body is so bad. This is much more serious than she imagined...

And just when Li Baojia was in a daze, the gambling shop in Yixian Juli had just entered a feverish stage.

At this time, Qin Yongzhan was already mad at gambling and had lost all his money. He was becoming more and more stressed and was even pulling his hair out irritably.

The gambling room was sealed with black cloth and was airtight, with only a few candles lit. This also caused the gamblers inside to be completely confused between day and night, forgetting time, and only immersed themselves in this gambling table.

Because the airtightness was too tight, it was a bit stuffy inside, and many people were sweating profusely, but they were still excited, especially Qin Yongzhan. He had just lost all his belongings, and now he just wanted to win them all back.

His eyes were bloodshot: "Come again!"

However, Zhu Niang told him regretfully: "Mr. Qin, you have no leverage again."

Qin Yongzhan was stunned: "How could it be gone again? I just took out fifty chips on credit! Then continue to take credit!"

Zhu Niang said: "But... you have already taken a lot of credit... Logically, you can't take any more credit..."

Before he could reply, she changed her tone again: "But... you are the only son of the Qin family, and what belongs to the Qin family belongs to you. You can also use it to exchange for chips. For example, a house, a shop, or even a maid's sale contract... …”

Qin Yongzhan held the dice tightly with both hands: "Then change! Give me another five hundred chips!"

Zhu Niang smiled and turned around and said, "Bring Mr. Qin five hundred chips and the painting paper."
