Rebirth of the Abandoned Concubine: The Poison Goddess Doctor

Chapter 70 The New Year's Eve Conspiracy

It's New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye.

The family and Zhang's mother and son gathered in the main hall for a New Year's Eve dinner.

Mrs. Zhang said: "Hey, it's snowing suddenly, the road is not easy to walk, and the master merchant has been delayed outside again. Our mother and son stayed for the New Year. It's really bothering me."

"We're all a family, so why not be polite," Liu said with a smile, "The more people there are, the more lively it is. This year, we have three more people. Our Hua family will have a lot of luck next year."

The old lady was actually very upset. The Hua family is a prestigious and hereditary noble mansion, and they let two merchants sit at the table during the New Year's Eve.But the person has already stayed, and the Hua family has taken a lot of good things from him, so she can't object.

The old lady was in a bad mood, she glanced to the side, and saw Hua Mengchu pulled her face, as if others owed her.

Hua Mengchu ate the whip and was imprisoned for a long time, her little face looked sharp.However, she is obviously a reckless person, not only does she not repent, but she is even more disrespectful.

The old lady glared at her a few times, Hua Mengchu still didn't know how to restrain herself, and the old lady saw Hua Bin's distraught look on the other side, and she was immediately outraged.

"One or two listless, what do they look like?" The old lady said sullenly, "Eating a New Year's Eve dinner won't make you worry!"

There was a sudden silence on the table, and Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhang, who were talking and laughing happily, immediately stopped talking.

"What's wrong with Bin'er?" Only then did Liu realize that her son was indeed not active as usual, and his face didn't look too good. "Is he feeling unwell, or something happened?" She said as she glanced at Hua Yu, I wonder if he bullied his precious son.

"No!" Hua Bin said in a shrill voice like a cat whose tail was stepped on, "Nothing happened, I just didn't sleep well yesterday!"

Liu Shi was taken aback by Hua Bin's fierce reaction, and said worriedly: "Is it all right? Don't hide it from mother."

"It's okay if you say it's okay, mother, don't ask!" Hua Bin said impatiently.

The old lady originally used the topic to get angry, and wanted to impress Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhang, but now seeing Mrs. Liu's persistent questioning, she felt that she was impolite, and there were outsiders around, so she asked what the child looked like.

"Okay, let's eat." The old lady said.

Because the old lady was in a bad mood, everyone stopped talking and laughing, and the New Year's Eve dinner was eaten quietly.

After the old lady put down the chopsticks, everyone stopped eating and wiped the corners of their lips with handkerchiefs.

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile on her face: "Old Madam, my master just got a good thing and just sent it here today. This thing looks very beautiful at night. I'll ask someone to bring it over for the old lady to enjoy."

The old lady raised her eyelids and became a little interested. Mrs. Zhang said it was a good thing, but it must not be ordinary. "Send it here, just in time for everyone to enjoy it together."

Not long after, two maidservants came over carrying things covered in red cloth.

Everyone moved outside the courtyard and looked at the thing curiously. The red cloth was raised high, the shape was irregular, and the size seemed not small.

"Is this a bonsai tree?" Hua Yunchu asked with some anticipation. She heard that there was a bonsai tree that glowed at night in the Grand Master's Mansion. It was an extraterritorial tribute from the emperor, and it was placed in Qiao Xiyue's yard.

"Miss is half right." Mrs. Zhang smiled and raised her hand to signal the servants to take off the red cloth.

A blooming Clivia appeared in front of everyone, its green and slender branches and leaves stretched naturally, and a cluster of flowers above its head poured out a soft light.Looking carefully, this lifelike Clivia was carved out of emerald green, with a luminous pearl surrounded by glazed flowers on the top of the head, and the light is emitted from it.

Everyone couldn't help but exclaimed, and exclaimed: "It's so beautiful!"

Hua Yunchu's eyes lit up. Although this Clivia is not as rare as Qiao Xiyue's bonsai, its value is definitely not inferior. She looked at it without blinking, hoping to keep it for herself, but she also knew that this Clivia It will definitely fall into the hands of the old lady.

Zhang Xian at the side watched his words and expressions, and hurriedly offered courteousness: "If my cousin likes it, I'll ask my father to bring you another more beautiful one."

Hua Yunchu's eyes fluttered gently, and she looked at Zhang Xian tenderly: "Thank you, cousin, Yunchu, but if it's difficult, forget it, Yunchu doesn't want to embarrass your cousin."

"No embarrassment, no embarrassment!" Zhang Xian said repeatedly, moving closer to Hua Yunchu.

A trace of disgust flashed in Hua Yunchu's eyes, but she smiled at him, and then pretended to be casual and approached Clivia to watch it, keeping away from him.

Zhang Xian was still immersed in the joy of the beauty smiling at him, took a deep breath of the air that still had the scent of Hua Yunchu, and his face was fascinated.

Looking at Hua Yunchu's slender figure, Zhang Xian licked his lips, pulled Hua Bin aside, and said in a low voice, "Cousin, have you considered it?"

Hua Bin begged in a low voice: "Good cousin, I really can't do that, father will beat me to death. Just lend me the money first, and wait until I pay back the casino first, then we can discuss in the long run."

"It's not that my brother didn't lend it to you," Zhang Xian said, "I've already lent you tens of thousands of taels of silver, but I really can't get out the 10,000+ taels in the gambling shop, after all, I don't own the house yet. Woolen cloth."

Hua Bin regretted it to death. He relied on Zhang Xian's money and went to the casino every day. He won a lot in the past few days. Who would have thought that later, he would suddenly lose his luck and spit out all the wins, and owed a whole lot of money. account.Zhang Xian is also abominable. He said it was good and would help him pay, but he turned his back on it!

"Why don't you ask your uncle and aunt for help," Zhang Xian said, "They love you so much, they will definitely help you pay back the money."

"No, I can't tell my parents!" Hua Bin shook his head without thinking about it. The last time he was beaten for 10 taels is still fresh in his memory. If his father knew that he squandered 10,000+ taels in the casino, he would definitely take his skin off !
"Then there is no way," Zhang Xian said, "Although you are my cousin, I can't steal money from the family for you. But if you become my brother-in-law, it will be different, dear brother, my money It's not your money."

Hua Bin struggled constantly.

"Cousin, think about it." Zhang Xian's tone was full of temptation. "If your sister is sent to the palace, the family will definitely spend a lot of money on her, and you will have even less money to use in the future. Marry her to me." It's different, my family's money bank, you can spend it as you like."

Hua Bin's heart was thumping: "Cousin, are you serious?"

"Of course, your elder sister is your own younger brother. If I don't let you use it, how can your elder sister spare me." Zhang Xian said.

Hua Bin gritted his teeth: "Okay, seeing how infatuated you are with my sister, I'll just let you go!"

An excited smile appeared on Zhang Xian's face, and he assured Hua Yu several times, coaxing Hua Bin into making up his mind, and then said: "It's not too late, let's get it done tonight!"

"Tonight?" Hua Bin exclaimed in surprise, "So fast!"

"My cousin thinks too fast, but the people in the gambling shop don't think too fast, maybe they will come to you tomorrow." Zhang Xian said, Niang and Liu have made a plan tonight, and if he doesn't get Hua Yunchu, it will be too late .

Hua Bin was startled, and hurriedly said: "No, not fast, let's make it tonight!"
