“Who is it?”
Songlian asked.
Huang Si gritted his teeth, “Song Wan Yue! I’ve discussed with my elder brother to ask for the secret recipe for the hotpot base to sell from my sister-in-law’s mouth.”
Song Lian’s eyes widened in horror.
“The one who went to the gambling house that day must have been that fool of the Gu family.”
No wonder he was allowed to follow him up to the first floor and given two silver ingots. This was all a trap for them! Just to get the people at the gambling house to beat him up and kick him out, forcing him out of the way.
“Lian, you go to Master Zhang’s house ……”
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Song Lian in horror, “You’re crazy!”
Master Zhang had a special hobby, the house would buy a group of young maids every year, at first she and Huang Si were trying to sell Daya to the Zhang house.
But Song Wan Yue was different, not to mention that they couldn’t trick her, the people over there treated Song Wan Yue like the apple of their eye, if they dared to get her sold, the people over there would chop them alive.
Huang Si’s gaze sank, “You go and tell Master Zhang that Song Wan Yue knows the art of healing and once brought the dead young master of the Gu family back to life, but don’t say a word else.”
Master Zhang had a sickly son, and he had been seeking famous doctors for years, but his son’s health was getting weaker and weaker, and some doctors had asserted that he would not live past the age of eighteen.
“But ……”
“Don’t be afraid, we are just giving Master Zhang a message, even if something happens in the future, it won’t implicate us.”
“Either, or, let’s forget it.”
Song Lian’s heart palpitated at the people over there.
Huang Si could only be patient and coax her.
He couldn’t get out of bed now, so he had to do everything for Song Lian, “I can’t earn back money in a short time in this state, and you don’t have any means to earn a living, so go and report to Master Zhang, if his son has improved, he might reward us with a few taels of silver, and we can survive.”
Thinking of her family’s current situation, Song Lian gritted her teeth and went to the Zhang residence.
The watchman stopped her, “What for?”
It was Song Lian’s first time here and she was frightened by the question, her voice trembling, “I, I, I’m looking for Master Zhang.”
The watchman looked her up and down, but seeing that she was just an ordinary woman, neither beautiful nor young, he didn’t give her a second thought, “Go on, go on, our master is not for everyone.”
“I know a divine doctor, and I have come to give Master Zhang a message.”
Hearing the word “divine doctor”, the gatekeeper’s attitude immediately changed, “Wait, I’ll go and report to the master.”
After saying that, he turned and dashed inside to report.
But he came out again a moment later, politely, and led Song Lian inside.
Although Master Zhang was nearly fifty years old, he was extremely well maintained and looked to be in his thirties, while Mrs. Zhang was very old and had grey hair growing on her head.
Seeing Song Lian, she immediately asked eagerly, “Do you really know the divine doctor?”
“Yes, she once brought back to life the young master of the Gu family who had died.”
Madam Zhang’s dark, silent gaze instantly lit up, “Where is she?”
“The Song family village in the south of the city, called Song Wan Yue.”
……
Gu Yi was hooked on dice these days, listening to points to be exact.
The hand that Song Wangyue showed that day was an eye-opener for him, and when he returned he had someone find dice and dice cups.
He shook them himself and listened to them, and was fascinated.
He was not thinking too much about it, Gu Yi is like that, when he comes across something interesting, he will be fascinated by it, and after a few days he will leave it behind when he doesn’t like it.
“Little Four, have you heard it yet?”
At this moment, in Gu Yi’s house, Gu Yi finished shaking the dice cup and put it on the table.
Xiao Si shook his head, “Young master, it’s impossible to hear it out.”
Gu Yi knocked him on the forehead, “You’re so stupid, the little girl can hear it out in one go.”
Xiao Si dared not speak out in anger and covered his forehead, eager to retort. The young master was just as stupid as he was, he had been practicing for days and hadn’t heard it out.
“Forget it.”
Xiao Si was delighted, thinking that Gu Yi was past this rarity and didn’t want to play anymore. But then he saw Gu Yi take the dice and dice cup in his hand and head out, “I’ll go find Little Girl.”
Xiao Si hurriedly followed.
After walking a few steps, Gu Yi stopped, turned around and put the dice cup in Xiao Si’s hand, “Wait, I’ll go get some silver tickets.”
Xiao Si, ……
Gu Yi took a few steps towards the inner room and turned back, “Better go and ask my father for them, I don’t have much private money left.”
Xiao Si once again, ……
Gu Yi went to the main courtyard, asked Madam Gu for five hundred taels of silver cheques, and asked Xiao Si to go to the accountant’s office to change it into a small amount and went to the courtyard of Dr. Yao.
In the past few days, Song Wangyue and Doctor Yao had worked together to process all those Pan Lan Gen and put them in the courtyard to dry. She had nothing else to do and sat in the house reading medical books.
Many of the medical books in Dr. Yao’s collection were isolated and contained prescriptions she had never seen before, so she was fascinated by them.
Dr Yao was quite satisfied and did not bother her, rummaging through those Pan Lan Gen in the courtyard.
Gu Yi led Xiao Si in the door.
Dr Yao’s beard C*cked.
For the past three days, Gu Yi had not bothered Song Wan Yue, he had thought the young master had grown up, but it seemed that was not the case.
“Young Master ……”
“Hush ……”
Gu Yi instead made a silent gesture and tiptoed over to him, “Want to earn silver?”
Hearing the word “silver”, Dr. Yao’s principles were immediately gone, “How to earn?”
Gu Yi shook the dice cup in his hand, “Guess the size of the dice inside.”
The corners of Dr. Yao’s mouth twitched twice and he rightly refused, “Young master, I don’t gamble.”
“It’s not a bet on money, it’s a guess on how many points.”
Gu Yi “corrected” him.
“What’s the difference?”
“There’s a big difference. You go to a gambling house to gamble. We are playing in private, for fun and to make a little money on the side.”
Saying so, he showed him his pile of silver tickets, “Look, I have all the silver tickets ready for you.”
The top one was for fifty taels.
Yao Daifu looked at it and calculated that this pile had better have thousands of taels, if he won them all over, he would have a lot more money in his private coffers.
“How do I hear it?”
“It’s you shake the dice cup, I guess the number of points, if you guess correctly, you lose your money to me, if you guess incorrectly, I lose my money to you.”
“Young master, you give first give me a demonstration.”
“That’s a good point.”
Gu Yi gently shook the dice cup, and the dice inside clattered and spun a few times before stopping.
“Guess how many points are in here?”
Dr. Yao, ……
“How is this possible? It’s not even a guess.”
“You’re wrong, the little girl will be able to guess.”
Doctor Yao didn’t believe him and took the dice cup into the room and shook it in front of Song Wan Yue, “Miss Song, guess how many points are in it?”
“Six.”
Song Wangyue didn’t even raise her head and said casually.
Dr. Yao lifted the dice cup, and there were indeed six points.
Dr. Yao did not believe in this evil, covered the dice cup and shook it a few more times, “Come again!”
“Six.”
Song Wangyue still didn’t raise her head.
Yao Daifu lifted the dice cup again, looked at the number of points, then looked at Song Wangyue, and suddenly became excited “Miss Song, how did you hear that, teach me, I’ll share half of the money I win from the young master.”
Gu Yi, ……
