Chapter 268: Small Gambling for Fun
Liang Yi thanked him profusely and sent someone to give him a large reward: "Master Su, thank you so much this time."
"I was also asked by your friend in Shengjing City to make some money." Seeing that he was generous, Su Nuobai also gave him some advice on the feng shui of the house.
It matches his birth date and time, so his family will surely be safe in the future.
Liang Yi thanked her again and asked her to come to his house again when she has time.
Su Nuobai agreed with a smile and took the two little ones back home.
Feng Zhi saw her come back and brought out the prepared food: "How is your business today, Miss?"
"That's great. Go to Qingyun Temple and give the silver to the abbot of Yuntian Temple." After Su Nuobai said that, she handed him the weeping crabapple in her bag.
"Take this weeping crabapple tree with you as well. Explain the reason to the old man and ask him to see if it can be included in the Taoist temple."
Feng Zhi nodded, put the weeping crabapple into his bag, took the silver from Mo Bao, and rode a paper carriage to Qingyun Temple.
After Su Nuobai had eaten and drunk his fill, he prepared to slowly refine his power of merit.
She was still practicing when Lu Heyu came back, so he didn't disturb her, but just made a pot of peach blossom tea in the yard.
The tea is ready and Su Nuobai has finished his training.
"You came back early today." Su Nuobai picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
"Don't forget the happy event of Lord Qi's family tomorrow." Lu Heyu poured her tea.
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. Tomorrow I will go to the Ghost Confucian Academy. As the boss, I have to see Peng Anrong off to get married, otherwise it would be unreasonable."
"Let's go to Lord Qi's house for dinner in the afternoon." Su Nuobai was planning tomorrow's itinerary.
"Are you planning to set up a stall at noon?" Lu Heyu understood her arrangement as soon as he heard it.
Su Nuobai nodded: "It's noon and I have nothing to do."
"I'll pick you up when I'm done." Lu Heyu said, adding, "I'm afraid you've forgotten."
"Okay! I can make some money tomorrow." Su Nuobai nodded in agreement.
The two of them didn't say anything else, just drank tea quietly. Many things were understood without saying anything.
This way of getting along is the most comfortable for them.
Early in the morning, Su Nuobai took Feng Zhi and the others to the Guiru Academy.
Yu Lao, the ghost messenger, was also very happy. Seeing his disciple's daughter get married was actually a very good thing.
Peng Guanghe's family was filled with joy, as everyone in Shengjing City knew them now.
The Guiru Academy is crowded with people who come to read and learn literacy every day. Who wouldn't want the free opportunity to read and learn literacy?
Moreover, you can come to the Guiru Academy 24 hours a day. You can come and sit and listen whenever you are free.
So today, there was a wedding at Guiru Academy, but the streets and the gate were completely blocked.
Many people who came here to study brought their own gifts. Those from poor families brought some vegetables, eggs and the like.
Those from well-off families would give some copper coins as a token of their appreciation.
Peng Guanghe and his wife had no way to refuse, so these people put down their things and ran away.
They couldn't even remember the names of these people, so they had no place to pay back the money.
"Miss, what do you think about this?" Peng Guanghe felt a headache when he saw the other person's things at the door.
"This is everyone's blessing for your daughter, please accept it. Teaching them well in the future will be a way of repaying the favor." Su Nuobai knew his concerns.
Peng Guanghe nodded when he saw her say that: "Okay."
The wedding procession was seen approaching from a distance, and the people on the road quickly made way to let them pass.
Qi Yuanshi saw Su Nuobai, got off his horse, walked in front of her and bowed: "Master Su."
Su Nuobai patted his head lightly with her fingers: "May you live happily ever after, and grow old together."
"Thank you, Lord Su." Qi Yuanshi could feel something different in his body.
Su Nuobai also sent the same blessings to Peng Anrong.
After the two of them said goodbye to Peng Guanghe and others and got on the sedan chair, the crowd slowly dispersed.
Mrs. Peng watched the sedan chair go away, and she felt a wave of emotion in her heart: "This daughter got married as soon as she said she would."
"Are you afraid that you won't be able to see her in the capital? Besides, how could Old Qi and the others treat our daughter badly?" Peng Guanghe comforted his wife.
"Mom, your sister has found a good home, you should be happy." Peng Guanghe's two sons comforted her.
Mrs. Peng suppressed her sadness and turned to look for Su Nuobai, but she was gone. "Where's the young lady?"
At this time, Yu Lao came over: "She said she was going to set up a stall and would go to Qi Yu's house for a feast in the evening."
"Miss, you are really busy all the time." Peng Guanghe said as he collected all the things sent by the people into the academy.
Su Nuobai came late today. Uncle Jia had already gone back, and only Brother Zhou was there.
"Master Su, I thought you wouldn't come today."
"I was delayed this morning because of something. It's not too late to come now." After Su Nuobai finished speaking, she saw a man sitting opposite her.
"Master Su, I want to ask, can I win money today?" The man handed her the three meat buns in his hand.
Su Nuobai asked Feng Zhi to take the buns: "Do you have money to gamble today?"
"Yes, I have a few taels of silver here." Jin Gu took out the money and showed it to her: "Have you seen enough?"
"That's enough. When you leave me later, you will pick up a dice. Use it to gamble, and you can win thirteen games in a row." Su Nuobai looked at him and said.
When Jin Gu heard this, he immediately stood up and ran away, without even having time to listen to what Su Nuobai had to say.
Brother Zhou and the people around him were puzzled: "Master Su, can he really win thirteen games in a row?"
Su Nuobai looked at the group of curious babies and nodded: "We can win."
"Is there something wrong with this dice?" They had been coming to Su Nuobai for fortune-telling for a few days and immediately discovered the problem.
Su Nuobai: "Yes, this dice is made of human finger bones."
Feng Zhi was a little puzzled: "Isn't that an evil thing?"
"Not really." Su Nuobai turned to look at Feng Zhi: "Do you know where the silver he has comes from?"
"Selling property?"
"I know, maybe he sold his wife and daughter." Xiao Jiang answered immediately.
"No way! How could he do such a thing just for gambling?" Some people around questioned.
Su Nuobai looked at the people around him and said, "Three days ago, he owed a lot of gambling debts. The creditors came to his house, and he sold his wife and children to a brothel."
"I don't need to tell you what a brothel is. You all know what kind of place it is. All kinds of people live there. But within two days, his wife and daughter were already dead there."
"The finger bone dice he found belonged to his wife. It's true that he won thirteen games in a row, but it also means he's doomed to a miserable death."
She looked at the people present and said, "Small gambling can bring pleasure, but big gambling can ruin families. There's no such thing as a free lunch, and there's no such thing as a business that's guaranteed to make a killing. Remember this."
