Chapter 46 Good brothers bet together
The Gu family is a big family. Ever since they settled down in Blue Moon Lake, in order to prevent too many descendants from competing for resources, Gu Shiyi, the Nascent Soul Ancestor, has made rules. Except for the direct descendants who inherit the family business, all adults in the Gu family Men have to leave Blue Moon Lake, take the money allocated by the family, and make a living on their own, and the direct descendants will also separate their families after three generations, and they will also have to leave Blue Moon Lake.
This is the big branch of the tree and the big division of children!
For example, Mrs. Gu's family is Gu Shiyi's distant relatives. Calculated, they should be descended from the great-great-grandfather's generation. However, after so many years, they have not moved with the direct lineage for a long time!
As for Gu Shishi, the head of the family is her grandfather Gu Baiye. Gu Baiye has three brothers. The eldest is Gu Baiye, the second is Gu Qiancheng, and the third is Gu Wanshan. Gu Baiye has three sons, Gu Huaimu, Gu Huilin, and Gu Yusen. Gu Shiyi is the eldest daughter of the boss Gu Huaimu, so she is the eldest daughter of the eldest family member. However, as the family grows, there are generations of children. Some get married late and some get married early. Gu Huaimu ranks first among the brothers in the family. The second child, but Gu Wenqian was ranked eleventh when she was born. There were so many people in the family that I couldn't even remember their names. It would be more practical to count one, two, three, four, five.
And since Gu Shiyi left the Gu family, he no longer wants to use his real name. The name Gu Shiyi is still used today!
"When I left when I was five years old, my third uncle's concubine gave birth to a son for him, and my second uncle took in an eighth concubine..."
People in this world have long lifespans, and if a big family can support them, they can live happily, so a prosperous population is not just talk!
Gu Shixi whispered to Li Yaner,
"In my father's generation, no one had spiritual roots. They couldn't cultivate themselves, so they tried their best to have a son. Considering his age, if my father hadn't suffered from kidney failure, he might still be having children now!"
So after twenty-five years, with several uncles and uncles working together, maybe they will all be thinking about forty-five or sixty-seven!
Li Yaner stuck out her tongue after hearing this.
"Do so many people recognize you?"
"Of course I can't recognize him, but I don't need to recognize him too much... Only the children born to the wife can be included in the family tree and can stay in the family in the future. The children born to the concubine will be given money when they become adults. Otherwise... this town will also You don’t need to live with other people, even your family can build a city!”
"Then... your tenth brother was born to the first wife?"
Gu Shi nodded,
"How dare he bully me if he wasn't born by my first wife?"
He was not born by his wife, and he couldn't even live in the main house inside. He could only live in a side house outside. He would kneel down to talk when he saw her. How dare he bully her?
Gu Shiyi saw that he had lost money again, and Gu Laoshi, who looked annoyed, smiled and said,
"It seems that my tenth brother also has no spiritual roots..."
The Gu family has no spiritual roots and is a direct descendant. In fact, it is just a fertility machine. Women can still get married and have marriages. Men have no big use except sleeping with women and having sons. After all, the position of managing secular affairs is only so much. A few, most of them are the confidants of the family head, and it’s not just anyone who wants to do it!
"When I was young, my grandfather had already made great efforts to cultivate my father to be the head of the family. When my grandfather returned to the West, my father would be the head of the family. At that time, if my father had a grandson, he would have to take care of the second and third families. Separated..."
People like Gu Yongping can only move out of the town with their father and find a way to make a living on their own!
Gu Shiyi just stood in the corner, watching Gu Yongping lose all the money he had and was about to leave dejectedly. Then she squeezed past him, occupied the seat he had vacated, and shouted,
"I'll bet a hundred taels of silver... a big bet!"
Gu Yongping's bet at this table was about big and small, and what he wanted was a thrill. He could see the big and small by turning his hands, and he could see the winner and loser immediately. Gu Shiyi shouted loudly and took out the stack of banknotes given by Huang Liuye from his arms and counted them. , pulled out a picture from it and took a photo to the right.
"big big big!"
After her actions, not only the croupier but also Gu Yongping turned to look at her. Gamblers are like this. If they have money, they will do it themselves. If they don't have money, they will get addicted to watching others do it. At that moment, he turned around and looked back. He poked his head out from behind Gu Shiyi and saw the croupier flipping the lid of the cup, and sure enough, two sixes and a five came out.
"Seventeen o'clock, big!"
The dealer shouted loudly, and Gu Shiyi laughed loudly. He watched the dealer push the silver he won, picked it up and threw another hundred taels to the left.
"The bet is small this time!"
It turned out that this one was really small. Gu Yongping's eyes turned red when he looked at it from behind, and he cursed in his heart.
"Damn it, I've never won a single game here, why did he win it as soon as he came? Don't collude with the dealer!"
Gu Shiyi then won three more games in a row. He laughed loudly while collecting the money and looked around. He turned around and saw Gu Yongping and threw a dozen taels of silver to him.
"Brother, thank you for letting me give you this boy. My fortune is shining brightly today. This is money for your tea!"
Gu Yongping had money in his hands and saw Gu Shiyi winning several games in a row. How could he not be itchy?
Immediately he took the ten taels of silver and asked Gu Shiyi,
"That... that brother... you... do you bet big or small?"
Gu Shiyi was waiting for his words. He laughed, raised his hand and hooked his shoulder and pulled the man's head over.
"If you say bet big, bet big, if you say bet small, bet small!"
Gu Yongping hesitated after hearing this.
"Brother, my gambling luck is not very good today. I have lost all my money!"
Gu Shiyi laughed and said,
"Don't worry, don't worry, if you win, it's yours, if you lose, it's mine!"
Gu Yongping was a gambler through and through. With Gu Shiyi's words, he didn't care whether he knew this person or not, whether he had evil intentions or not, his eyes were shining and he threw the money to the left without politeness.
"Small!"
Gu Shiyi laughed and deposited a hundred taels of silver.
"Small!"
Gu Yongping looked at the croupier with a red face and lifted the cup. As expected, he was young. While hugging the winning coins, he said to Gu Shi,
"Brother, I...can I succeed in suppressing it?"
"It works, why not?"
Gu Shiyi smiled and nodded, and he accompanied Gu Yongping until the fourth watch. In the end, the owner of the gambling house was alerted, and he personally came out to invite the two of them to tea, and presented them with a thousand taels of silver notes. He presented it respectfully. Gu Yongping had lost at least tens of thousands of taels of silver in this gambling house, but it was the first time he was so proud. He walked out with Gu Shiyi, arm in arm, with a red face and a bright smile.
"Brother, thanks to you today, my brother has won so happily for the first time. Let's go...brother will treat you to a drink!"
Gu Shiyi smiled and said,
"it is good!"
In the small town at this time, only the restaurant on this street was still bustling with people. When the two of them entered, the waiter who knew Gu Yongping came out to greet them and led the two of them up to the second floor and into a private room. Gu Yongping waved his hand very proudly,
"I'll bring you some good wine and food!"
The waiter responded and went, and then Gu Yongping spoke to Gu Shiyi.
"We've been playing together for so long, and you still don't know your brother's surname?"
Gu Shiyi smiled and said,
"My surname is Li. Because I am the eleventh in the family, I don't have a big name. They all call me Li Shiyi. My brother can call me Shiyilang!"
After hearing this, Gu Yongping laughed and said, "That's a coincidence. Brother, I am the tenth oldest brother in the family, so I will take advantage of you and call you the eleventh son!"
Gu Shiyi smiled slightly and said,
"Exactly!"
Gu Yongping asked her about her origin again, and Gu Shiyi said that she came from a noble family, but the fight for power and profit in the family was too fierce, and she didn't like the daily calculations, so she simply left home and went out to work.
"... I was also wandering around, and accidentally came to Blue Moon City. I heard the name of Blue Moon Lake and wanted to come and have a look. Then I arrived at Guibao Land and met Tenth Brother by chance!"
Gu Yongping laughed and said,
"What a treasure land, we only have some useless stones here, and we just make a living from them!"
While they were talking, the food and drinks were served. Gu Yongping invited Gu Shiyi to eat and drink. The two of them had been gambling for most of the night. They were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs. They were not polite at all. They just raised their chopsticks and started eating and drinking. , Gu Yongping's complexion became more and more rosy, his eyes gradually straightened, and he began to giggle. When Gu Shiyi saw that the fire was almost done, he asked,
"Tenth brother, surnamed Gu... seems to be a famous Gu family member in Blue Moon City?"
Gu Yongping laughed and mocked himself,
"What you mean by taking care of your family is nothing more than a waste waiting to die in the family. You can't cultivate yourself, and you can't manage things..."
When he was so drunk, Gu Shiyi only had to raise his head and he started talking automatically. Gu Shiyi smiled and said,
"What are you talking about, Brother [-]? Looking at Brother [-], who is so talented and talks so well, how can he be someone who just hangs around and waits for death? Brother [-] is too humble!"
"What modesty!"
Gu Yongping glared, placed the wine glass in his hand heavily on the table, and shouted,
"I'm not humble. I'm not a family man. I'm just a waste raised by my family..."
Speaking of this matter, he felt depressed in his heart.
Gu Shiyi looked curious,
"Brother Ten's words have aroused my curiosity. I have nothing to do for a long time, why don't I come and listen..."
Gu Yongping was worried and had nowhere to talk to. When he met Gu Shiyi, a good brother who looked sincere and acted generously, making him feel inexplicably familiar, he couldn't stop talking once he opened it. Ever since I couldn't get into Gushan because I had no spiritual roots, I also said that because of my short temper, I was really being tricked by others, and that my marriage was not going as I wanted. The husband and wife are cold to each other during the day, and back to back at night.
"If I didn't think about continuing the family line and having children, I wouldn't want to touch that woman!"
Speaking of this, Gu Yongping actually squeezed out two tears, held Gu Shiyi's hand and cried,
"Brother, you don't know. That woman is just a stone that cannot be warmed. Whenever I treat her nicely, she will sneer and say that I am worthless and don't know how to find a serious job. Marrying me is really blind. Eye... Do you think I don’t want to do it? Who gave me a chance! Why do you think I go to the gambling house every day? I can’t stay at home, either?”
Gu Shiyi nodded sympathetically and poured him another glass of wine calmly.
"I understand Brother Ten's suffering. My younger brother... also married someone in the family. My daughter-in-law is pretty, but she doesn't deal with me. I'm going to run away!"
Gu Yongping cried even more when he heard this and shouted,
"Brother, you are still awesome, my brother doesn't have the courage!"
He also mentioned how strict the rules of the Gu family were. Anyone who dared to run away on his own would be caught and his legs would be broken. Then he would be locked up in the backyard and left to die without food or drink!
When Gu Shiyi heard this, he quietly brought the topic to his own mother.
"Well... Brother Ten, don't blame me for being too talkative. Well... didn't your family run into a lady many years ago? Wasn't she... okay?"
Gu Yongping didn't really feel annoyed after hearing this and responded,
"Have you heard all about this?"
Gu Shiyi smiled,
"This... came all the way from Blue Moon City, and I accidentally heard someone mention it!"
Gu Yongping said,
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, almost everyone in Blue Moon City knows about our family, including one of our brothers..."
He said with envy again,
"Can I compare to my second aunt? She ran away with the barbarians from the north. Our family even sent monks in the late stage of foundation building to chase her, but she was beaten half to death when she came back!"
"Oh?"
This was something Gu Shiyi had never heard of. When she was at the Gu family, since her mother ran away, the family members had kept silent about the former second lady, let alone the condition of the wild man. !
Gu Shiyi thought for a while and asked,
"When the lady left, I think the tenth brother was not very young. How did you know?"
Gu Yongping said,
"After so many years, even though the elders issued a silence order and no one in the family was allowed to discuss it, I still can't help but a few words get out..."
As he spoke, he looked around, leaned over and whispered,
"My second aunt is a capable person with a sharp eye. It is said that the man is the Barbarian King in the north. He is almost at the same level as our Nascent Soul monk here... I don't know how she knows him!"
It turns out that the man that my own mother fell in love with back then was not only a man with muscles, he was also a barbarian!
After Gu Shiyi heard this, his heart was complicated and difficult to understand. He couldn't explain what it felt like, so he asked again,
"Then... did your second uncle marry again?"
Gu Yongping drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.
"Of course I got married again, and then had another baby..."
He put down his wine glass and clasped his fingers.
"I gave birth to one, two, three, four, five... seven children!"
So, he really added a lot of younger siblings?
Gu Yongping forgot about his misfortune when talking about the gossip about the big house. It started with Gu Huaimu's wife running away and then his daughter disappearing. He also said that his second uncle was still in a state of depression for a while. However, based on Gu Yongping's understanding of him,
"From what I see, the second uncle probably feels that he has lost face, and he doesn't actually care much about my second aunt and eleventh sister..."
"Ok!"
Gu Shiyi nodded in agreement. Ever since his mother disappeared and his father glared at her, and once he almost slapped her down, which cost her even half of her life, Gu Shiyi understood that his father loved her. More than that, wives and daughters are just about saving face.
