Chapter 603 Even Gossip Can’t Miss Business
"This is a power-for-money deal, right? Tsk tsk tsk tsk, it's amazing to have money. You have to open your mouth to dare to make such a promise. Who knows if it will be fulfilled in the future? Anyway, she is already a widow in their house, so she really needs to pay for it." At that time, she cried poorly, saying that the business was not good and the family lost money and had no money, so they were completely resigned. At that time, could the Tong family bring Tong Mingli back? At that time, she was really a widow who remarried instead of retiring like she is now. After marriage, she is still a girl with yellow flowers."

"That's right, everyone in the government school has been scolding for a day, and Gong Zhangji took the lead in scolding."

"What is the background of this man's family? Are they big landlords?"

"I'm not a native of the capital, I'm from Zhili, but it's farther away from the capital. It seems that I was really a big gentry in my hometown, and then I moved to the capital for my children to study, and do some business by the way, and work for the promising young people in the clan. , that boy studied in a private academy since he was a child, so he has been studying there in order to repay the teacher's kindness after he passed the examination of scholar and candidate, and the academy also used him as a signboard to compete with the prefectural school for students."

"What's the opinion of the Tong family now? The other party's move is ruthless enough, and they directly use money to open the way. Tong Hanlin's family loves their daughter and can ignore this disgusting condition, but other clan members may not be sure. If relatives **** persuade, Can the Tong family hold on?"

"That's why I sent Tong Mingli here to stay for a few days. The other party dared to go to Tong's house to make trouble because of his marriage contract. He never dared to come to Duke Ye's mansion. The Tong family probably wanted to delay the young man's death, and the marriage contract would naturally be voided."

"Void? It's too naive. The man's family is so noisy, it will definitely not be over if the person dies. Don't forget that there is a widow in this world. As long as the woman enters the door, it doesn't matter whether she is a living person or a memorial tablet. Adopt another child to his name, have a wife, son, and incense, and when the man dies, he will rest in peace."

Now it was Gu Yun's turn to be speechless.

"...I really can't be careless, it's very possible."

"So, don't you think it's weird?"

"What's strange?"

"A family from a country gentry but doing business in the capital finally got married to a daughter of the Hanlin family, and then their son had a problem, how could they still have the courage to make such a mess? This is the foot of the emperor, the most benevolent place, Hanlin They are all serving by the emperor's side, so why is that family so sure that it doesn't matter if things get serious?"

"Uh..." Gu Yun blinked his eyes a few times, "...Is your thinking a little too jumpy?"

"Don't reason with a woman's instincts."

"Okay, okay, anyway, I'm idle recently, so let's watch this farce from beginning to end." Gu Yun suddenly smiled cheaply, threw Bai Kou down, and followed her while holding the back of her head with his hands. Press on and steal a kiss.

The next day Gu Yun was resting at home. Although he was not on vacation, he was now free to go to school, and occasionally he didn't have to go to school. It happened to be resting at home on such a hot day, so he went to look for Gu Jing in the morning, and the two went to the second lady's place together. Visit Tong Mingli and listen to her progress.

But Tong Mingli didn't want to talk about her own affairs. She just offered each a cup of tea and saw off the guests. With her aunt, her mood was at peace. Besides, she didn't want to talk about her disastrous divorce with others.

Gu Yun got nothing from Tong Mingli and had nothing to do, so he went back to his room to read by himself, and when Bai Kou came back from work, he hugged Bai Kou for a while.

While eating lunch, Xiao Yezi handed in a letter from the old owner of Wangjianglou, the news dealer had news, and wanted to use Gu Shizi's manpower, but the location was agreed to be in Xiafang area, A Dongshengfang that was as chaotic as Yachifang.

So Gu Yun and Bai Kou changed their clothes after lunch and went out. In order not to attract attention, a group of people hired a car on the street and set off separately, pretending to be strangers to each other and rushing to Dongshengfang.

Gu Yun and Bai Kou were also very unfamiliar with Dongshengfang, and Gu Yun's personal temperament was incompatible with Xiafang, so he had to get out of the car from a distance, accompanied by two guards, Bai Kou and others quietly sneaked into Dongshengfang. Dongshengfang is connected with the old owner of Wangjianglou.

The old club had already obtained the information from the news dealers. The place where Gu Yun and Bai Kou met was a gambling house. Bai Kou in plain clothes and the guards dressed in the same clothes pretended to be strangers and divided into several groups to enter. The inside was smoky. Smells of cheap tobacco.

Bai Kou directly pretended to be a child who was looking for her own adults, and anxiously searched for people in the crowd while shouting "Dad, Daddy".

There are such scenes of family members looking for relatives who are jealous of gambling every day. The people in the gambling shop have long been familiar with it, so the thugs guarding the place don't bother to step forward to stop them. They know that if they can't find someone, they will go.

The guards were scattered among the crowd, holding a few pennies in their hands, pretending to look for a pleasing table to gamble. The people in the gambling shop were all staring at them, and even ignored Bai Kou, a little girl.

Bai Kou finally found the old owner of Wangjiang Tower among the crowd. He was standing in front of a large table, dressed in common clothes, with stains on his body that were stained with wine or oil, looking very down and out. The money bag in his hand was also deflated, giving him the image of a completely lost gambler.

"Father, stop playing, let's go home!" Bai Kou rushed forward and hugged his arm.

"Go, go, don't bother me!"

"You've lost everything, what are you playing, go home, you don't have money to eat."

"Kids know what a fart! Go away, go away, don't blame me, believe it or not, I will beat you!"

"Hey, you have such a young girl at such an age, you are always strong!" The croupier looked at it and laughed, pushing the pole in his hand to collect money on the table. His words also made the other guests roar with laughter.

"Oh, old women and old women. I'm spoiled. There are no rules at all, no big or small. Come, come, ignore her, ignore her, and continue."

"You lost all your money, why are you playing? Go home, get the money and come back tomorrow." The croupier glanced at the deflated money bag, customers who couldn't squeeze money out were not welcome.

"It's not all about you, it's all lost by you, are you cheating?"

"Hey! Old man, be careful what you say, don't slip your tongue!" The croupier immediately turned his face and threatened loudly, and the surrounding thugs immediately surrounded him.

As soon as they moved, the guards scattered in the crowd immediately knew which table was making trouble.

"Father, stop arguing with others, let's go home!" Looking scared, Bai Kou grabbed the money bag on the table, hugged his old boss's arm tightly, and dragged him away desperately.

"It's you cheating, it's you, I lost everything!" The old club struggled and continued to point at the croupier and curse.

"Okay, okay, we know, it's him, it's him who caused you to lose money, let's go, don't come again! Don't give them any money!"

Bai Kou's voice was filled with tears, and he was kicked out of the gambling house after being pushed and shoved by the thugs.
