Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 47 Dark Design

Wang Fu opened his mouth, but no words came out.

He is willing to bet and admit defeat. Although he is panicked in his heart, if he cheats and refuses to admit his debt, then his reputation will be rotten from now on.

The aunt didn't look at Wang Fu, but only looked at Li Xiaoer, and said with a smile: "Xiaoer, auntie will sell it once too, try your luck today."

"Okay!" Li Xiaoer replied, went over and swept up the bamboo sticks that fell on the ground, put them into the bamboo tube, shook them and held them over again.

"Ms. Huang, you can smoke! But don't be like everyone in Daguan Wang, blame me if you are unlucky!"

"Bah, what kind of person am I, your aunt? Besides, I haven't smoked yet, so you curse me for being unlucky!"

Touching his head, Li Xiaoer smiled and said nothing, just passed the bamboo tube in his hand forward.

Aunt Huang stretched out her hand, without any hesitation, she took out a lottery and handed it casually, "Look, did you win?"

"Yeah—" Li Xiao, who was holding the lottery, made a mistake and cried out.

Wang Fu, who was keeping his face away from the side, immediately leaned forward to have a look.

Yay, it's really evil!
He had drawn almost ten times, and he hadn't won anything, but Mrs. Huang won the red-headed lottery as soon as she stretched out her hand.

The Huang aunt was also very happy, and kept saying: "Hey, it seems that I am lucky today, and I can drink two cups of wine when the old man comes back."

His mouth moved slightly, Wang Fu held his breath, and finally couldn't help it, and when Li Xiaoer was carrying the fat chicken out of the basket, he yelled: "I said Li Xiaoer, you take that bamboo tube, I'll return it to you." To sell..."

With a smile, Li Xiaoer turned his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, you still want to sell? If you are still unlucky, don't rely on me again."

"Where is there so much nonsense, just bring the bamboo tube over here."

Li Xiaoer didn't speak, just waved the bamboo tube and handed it directly to Wang Fu.

Concentrated on luck, Wang Fu pursed his lips and stretched out his hand to draw lots with a dull expression.

As soon as the stick left the bamboo tube, he already squinted his eyes.With a sullen face, he stared at the yellowed bamboo stick, as if he could see one more red spot just by staring.

Covering his mouth with his hands, Li Xiaoer asked with a smile: "Mr. Wang, look, do you still want to try?"

Gazing at him sideways, Wang Fu raised his hand and threw the purse directly into his hand, "You count this one, I still don't believe it, you won't win this one!"

Without saying a word, Li Xiaoer put the bamboo tube on the ground, and really squatted aside to count the money in the purse.

After the count was over, he reported the number with a smile, "Master, you still have [-] more draws, no, there are [-] left."

Wang Fu, who had already drawn four or five times in a row, didn't answer, just focused on drawing lots with his head depressed.

Li Xiaoer didn't speak, just stayed by his side, counting the number one time at a time.

"Would I still beg you for money if you're not finished?" Wang Fu cried out "Ah" just after finishing the sentence.

"I hit it! Red-headed lottery!"

"Ah, it's really..." Li Xiaoer stretched his neck and laughed, "Mr. Wang, you are lucky again! There are still five times left, do you want to smoke a few more times? Maybe there will be more." Get a fat chicken and add two dishes tonight!"

"Bah, think your lord has never eaten good food!" Wang Fu spat, raised his head, and stretched out his hand, "Bring it! My fat chicken, and the fifty coins, you want to eat it for no reason." Is it more of my money?"

"How can it be!" Li Xiaoer smiled and counted fifty coins.

"My purse."

"Yes, yes, and the purse?" Li Xiaoer just laughed, and his temper was surprisingly good.

But Wang Fu didn't even look at him at all, stuffed his purse, took the fat chicken, turned around and left, and kicked the door hard with his foot.

"Hey, this guy has a really big temper." Aunt Huang smiled and looked at Li Xiaoer, "Where's mine?"

"Auntie, you're done!" Li Xiaoer smiled and took out a red roast chicken, wrapped it in oil paper, and handed it over.

Although they were not close, Gu Sixiao, who had been staring at the alley, let out a "huh" at this moment.

She could see clearly that besides passing over a roast chicken, Li Xiaoer also stuffed Aunt Huang with a purse.

Although neither of the two said much, it was clear from Aunt Huang's meaning that she knew what was going on with the purse.

Without even blinking, he tucked the purse into his sleeve pocket.

"I'm going home first, Xiao Er, if there are any good things in the future, I will remember my aunt."

It sounded ordinary, but because of the action just now, Gu Sixiao felt that what he said had a deep meaning no matter what he heard.

"This is—" Seeing Aunt Huang enter the door, Li Xiaoer turned around carrying the basket with a smile, Gu Sixiao tilted her head, thought and thought, and suddenly clapped her hands.

"I see, they are in collusion!"

When she called out, Sun Tiancang was delighted, "There are many such things! Let alone this, when I used to beg for food outside, I still made friends with people!"

Glancing at him, Gu Sixiao didn't speak, just lowered her head.

Biting her lip and tracing her index finger on her palm, Gu Sixiao suddenly whispered, "I can do it too!"

"What can?" Sun Tiancang was a little puzzled, but Gu Sixiao just glanced at him without explaining.

"Tiancang, let's find a place to eat something!"

"Aren't you in a hurry to go back home?" Sun Tiancang gave her a strange look.

Shaking her head, Gu Sixiao said lightly, "Sister Cheng will wait for me."

Not to mention anything else, just to prevent her from talking nonsense when she goes back, Mrs. Cheng will wait for her.

In the past few months, Sun Tiancang has become very familiar with the streets and alleys of Songjiang Mansion.As soon as Gu Sixiao mentioned going to eat, he led her directly to a small hotel.

The location is not too remote, close to the pier, it is very lively, but most of the guests who come and go are rough people.What he said and did was vulgar.

As soon as Sun Tiancang brought Gu Sixiao into the door, someone stood up and called, "Tiancang, this way!"

"It's the brother on the pier." Sun Tiancang smiled and waved his hand, but he turned sideways and said something to Gu Sixiao first.

After finding the table and setting it up, he turned to talk to those people.After a few sentences, he turned back.

"Don't be afraid, these people, although they are rough people, are still loyal - I won't let them come over rashly to scare you."

Smiling, Gu Sixiao turned her head, nodded at the men at the table, and smiled slightly.

Knowing that Sun Tiancang was scared by those people and stopped her, but she didn't hope that because of this incident, those people would have a grudge against Sun Tiancang.

If it wasn't for something important to say today, she wouldn't mind eating at the same table with those people.

"Tiancang, just now I saw Wang Fu and others rushing to sell, and I suddenly thought of an idea."

When talking to Sun Tiancang, Gu Sixiao didn't beat around the bush, and spoke very directly.

"Wang Fu is a greedy person, and he is not just greedy." How much has he been greedy from the Gu family over the years?
"Originally, I have been thinking about what to do to make him deserve what he deserves, and I am also wondering what his weaknesses are."

Gu Sixiao's eyes are bright, "Just now, I finally know what to do - Wang Fu's greed, greed, is his weakness, and gambling is his fatal weakness."

"Even one gamble can make him so addicted, let alone others? Tiancang, I have some money here, and I would like to invite you to the gambling house."

"You want me to lure Wang Fu to the casino to gamble?" Sun Tiancang is also smart, as soon as Gu Sixiao said it, he understood.

"I don't know how to gamble, I want to gamble..." Seeing the denomination on the bank note that Gu Sixiao handed over, Sun Tiancang was even more frightened.

"Hua'er, where did you get the money? You really want me to gamble with this money? How do you do this? What if you lose?"

"Don't panic," Gu Sixiao comforted Sun Tiancang's hand in a low voice.

Although her voice was not high, it was strange that Sun Tiancang felt his heart suddenly settled down.

Smiling at him, Gu Sixiao said softly: "It doesn't matter if you don't know how to gamble, I didn't let you win money by controlling me. Moreover, I never thought of letting you bet with Wang Fu."

Lowering her eyes, she said with a low smile, "Although I have never been to a casino, when I think about it, no matter which casino it is, I will never let go of the fat sheep that come to my door."

As long as the people in the gambling shop know that they can squeeze money out of Wang Fu, they don't have to worry about the rest of it.

"Tiancang, ask your friends to find out which casino is suitable for people like Wang Fu to have fun there."

Sun Tiancang hesitated for a while, but still held Gu Sixiao's hand with his backhand. Seeing that she didn't shake it off, the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously.

"Well, I'll inquire to see which casino has the toughest backstage, the most capable people, and the most ruthless ones! As long as Wang Fu enters the game, he will never be let go."

Sun Tiancang was more thoughtful than her, Gu Sixiao nodded, thinking to leave the matter to Tiancang, she was very relieved.

After talking about the serious business, she was not in the mood to eat any more, and was about to get up when she suddenly heard a muffled sound upstairs.

Something fell to the ground, and even the floor trembled.

The diners downstairs raised their heads and cursed loudly. The shopkeepers behind the counter cupped their hands in apology. After finally appeasing the diners downstairs, they heard someone from upstairs yelling loudly.

"Damn, I asked you to come up for fun, not to cry for funerals! I can't sing songs, and I can't play the pipa. Now I can't even touch my little hand and drink a leather cup. I really think I am You have been taken advantage of, and I have spent money to invite you to eat for nothing!"

The loud cursing was mixed with the crying of a woman, this time, the people downstairs stopped cursing, instead they all listened to the people upstairs.

There was also the curious one, who pulled the shopkeeper and asked: "Which building did your house invite the lady to come over to sing? Why don't you let me sing for us?"

"Hey, guest officer, didn't you just say that! If you want to say that the ladies who come to our restaurant to sing are all from the Hongxiaolou, you also know that although they are not well-known, they are not ranked among the top oirans. The best thing is that the price is low—how about it? Guest officer, help you call two people over to sing a song?"

Hearing the whispers of the people next to him, Gu Sixiao frowned unconsciously.

Seeing that she was unhappy, Sun Tiancang said in a low voice, "I'll take you back."

Gu Sixiao nodded, stood up, and before she could walk away, someone from upstairs had stumbled down.
