Chapter 9 Grandma will win a lot of money today!

Siming looked at Juanjuan and said, "Juanjuan, do you want to keep the remaining stones?"

Juanjuan shook her head: "Give them all to Dad."

Siming smiled and patted her little head, then asked Bailing to take the two children to play in other rooms: "Mom, did everything go well this time?"

"Nothing happened on the road, but we saw a lot of people freezing to death or starving to death." Old Lady Si sighed.

She looked at the rough stones on the table and said, "It must have cost a lot of money!"

Siming shook his head: "Someone gave it to me."

"A gift?" Madam Si was surprised. "Who would be so kind?"

"Pei Jingming." Sima Ming spit out a person's name.

Madam Si sneered: "This guy is really haunting me."

"This time he lost both his wife and his army, but he also made me a lot of money." Siming looked at the raw stone on the table with a smile on his face.

"Juanjuan is really a lucky child." Old Madam Si picked up the cup and took a sip of water.

"I don't want her to be targeted." Siming crossed his hands on his legs.

Madam Si put down her cup and said, "Indeed. Tell everyone that you can gamble on stones. Also, you should prepare to buy some food."

"After selling the remaining raw stones tomorrow, I will send people to buy food. This hurdle is over. The second brother and the eldest sister should be back soon."

Siming didn't expect that not only did he not spend any money today, but he also made a lot of money, solving the problem of food shortage in the city and his lack of money.

"Ding-ling-ling!" The phone rang at this time.

The housekeeper answered the phone and came over: "Old Madam, it's the old lady of the Liu family who wants to see you."

"She is well-informed. She called me as soon as I got home." After saying this, Mrs. Si looked at Si Ming.

"Liu Ruyan seems to be towards you..." She didn't finish her words and just looked at Si Ming.

"I don't like such a domineering woman." Si Ming said and stood up: "I'm going to take care of official business."

Madam Si stood up and answered the phone: "You are well-informed. I just got back and you called me."

Old Madam Liu laughed happily on the other end of the phone: "You've been gone for a week. We're three people short of one for our card game. I heard you're back, and I'm itching to play."

"How about it? Come over for a fight tomorrow?"

"I think it's true that you want me to lose money in the past. You all know that I always lose when I gamble, yet you still like to play cards with me." Old Lady Si said with a smile.

"Don't say that. I heard from Ruyan today that Governor Si made a lot of money gambling on stones today. The money you lost is just a drop in the bucket." Old Lady Liu said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll lose some to you tomorrow to prevent you from getting jealous." Old Madam Si scolded.

"Hahaha! Then we'll be waiting for you tomorrow." After saying that, Old Lady Liu hung up the phone.

Juanjuan looked at the candies on the table, her big eyes full of curiosity, and her little tongue licked her lower lips quietly.

She had never eaten candy before, but she had heard from her brother that candy was very sweet.

Si Jinchen observed her expression, took a candy from the plate on the table, peeled off the candy coating and stuffed it into her mouth.

Juanjuan was slightly stunned, and smacked her lips carefully, only to feel a taste she had never tasted before.

Does this taste sweet?

She likes the taste.

"Is it delicious?" Si Jinchen narrowed his beautiful eyes slightly when he saw her.

Juanjuan stretched out her little hand and grabbed a candy, peeled off the candy coating and handed it to Si Jinchen's mouth: "Brother, eat it."

Si Jinchen lowered his head and put the candy in her hand into his mouth, then smiled at her.

Bailing looked at the two of them and laughed, and she couldn't help but laugh too.

"Bai Ling, find a small bag for Juanjuan and put some candies in it." Si Jinchen said while eating candies.

"Okay, young master." Bailing said and went to find Xiaobao.

Jiang Ze came in with a tray with a bowl of medicine on it: "Master, it's time for you to take your medicine."

Juanjuan's nose wrinkled when she smelled the medicine: "It tastes bitter."

Si Jinchen was used to it. He had been sick every now and then since he was a child, and taking medicine had become a daily routine for him.

"It's okay, you'll get better after taking the medicine." He comforted Juanjuan.

Juanjuan watched him hold the bowl and drink the dark medicine in one gulp, her brows slightly furrowed.

She remembered something and quickly took a candy from the table, peeled it and put it in his mouth: "Sweetness will make your mouth less bitter."

The smile in Si Jinchen's eyes became even more intense, and he suddenly felt that the medicine was not so bad to drink.

.......

When Juanjuan woke up in the morning, she saw Si Jinchen sitting on a chair beside her reading a book. She rubbed her eyes and said in a soft voice, "Brother."

"Juanjuan, Dad is busy today, so only your brother can accompany you!" Si Jinchen took the clothes Bailing prepared for her and slowly put them on her one by one.

"Where's grandma?" Juanjuan blinked her big eyes.

"Grandma is meeting guests and can't play with us." Si Jinchen dressed her up and asked Bailing to take her to brush her teeth.

Songsong came to play with them early in the morning: "Woof woof. The old lady is going to be a fortune-delivering boy again."

Juanjuan squatted on the ground and touched the soft fur: "Why?"

"Woof woof. The old lady always loses when she gambles, she never wins!" Songsong lay on the ground, expressing helplessness.

"Juanjuan, what are you doing?" Si Jinchen looked at her squatting on the ground and talking to Songsong.

"Chatting with Songsong!" Juanjuan tilted her head and looked at him.

"Let's go find grandma! She just went out at noon, and we can go find her now." Si Jinchen took her little hand and went to find Old Madam Si.

Madam Si is entertaining Geng Taining's wife.

"General Si is really good at gambling on stones. We have never seen such a good person." Mrs. Geng complimented Mrs. Si with a smile.

"He's just lucky." Old Madam Si smiled faintly.

"This is extraordinary luck. I heard that every piece is top-quality, especially the top-quality imperial green." Mrs. Geng's eyes were full of envy.

You should know that now apart from yellow croaker and silver dollars, jade is the most valuable.

But who knew that General Si would actually unearth so many top-quality jadeite yesterday? If it were someone else, they would have snatched it away on the way.

But it was General Si, and no one dared to take action. Being shot was no joke.

"Grandma." Juanjuan ran in pulling Si Jinchen.

Mrs. Si saw that the smiles on the two children's faces were much more genuine: "My dear, have you woken up? Have you eaten?"

They both nodded.

Juanjuan ran to her side, climbed onto the sofa, and whispered in her ear, "Grandma will win a lot of money today."

Old Madam Si was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She had no idea who had told this child that she would lose every time she gambled, and even asked her to come and say words of blessing to her.

"Grandma accepts your good wishes." She reached out and pinched her little face.
