026 Gamble

Xie Wan went to Fufengyuan for a while, played a puzzle game with Xie Wei, and then went back to his room.

Unexpectedly, I waited for the good news from Wu's mother. There was a nephew in her mother's village, and there was only an old father in the family. She was so poor that she wanted to do some errands. Xie Wan asked her how old the child was. When he heard that she had just turned eleven this year, he said to Wu's mother, "Let him have a look." For the face of Wu's mother, even if he can't be used heavily, he has to be a man.

Luo Sheng came back after dinner and reported on the business situation of the past two days. Sure enough, after the goods were replenished, the sales volume also increased significantly. Although it still could not be compared with the previous one, at least he was stimulated to have a positive reaction.

Xie Wan couldn't help asking about his employment. Luo Sheng said, "I've found two, but my qualifications are mediocre. If you want to manage the shop, you have to practice at least three or five years. However, the character is correct, they are all knowledgeable, and they are all from poor families, and there is no flowery.

Xie Wan nodded and said, "It's good to be decent. Now it's important to find someone to open the shop first. You bring them here in two days. If there is no problem, let them go to Lizi Hutong first to learn to talk first, and then the shop in Yumingfang, Tianqingyuan Prefecture, should be taken back. It will take two months after you pick it up and open, and then transfer them over. Then ask a second shopkeeper to look at the shop first.

Luo Sheng nodded: "Then I'll send the letter back tomorrow morning."

Xie Wan asked Yu Xue to give him a bowl of hot mutton noodles and let him go back to his room.

Xie Lang was not in the house, and the Yifeng courtyard was calm all night.

Only the next morning did Xie Wan know that Ren Jun actually lived in the house.

After breakfast, Wang asked someone to send a message, saying that he had specially prepared a table of wine and dishes for Mr. Ren, and asked the young masters and ladies in the house to go to the room at noon.

Xie Wan is very disdainful of such behavior. At best, this family is more famous in Hejianfu. Except for the in-laws of the capital, the reputation of the Xie family is not much lower than theirs. In order to flatter them, the Wang family did not hesitate to put down his body and entertain a ten-year-old child. He really lost the identity of the mother-in-law.

She asked Yu Xue, "How long will it take for Ren Jun to go back?"

Yu Xue said, "I heard that Mr. Ren will stay for at least ten days and a half months as soon as he comes. This time, I don't have more than ten days, and I'm afraid I won't go back home." After saying that, she smiled and said, "The girl doesn't seem to like Mr. Ren."

She lay on the kang table and sighed, "I'm just asking."

Near the opening of the banquet, she came to the Magnolia Hall, which was usually used to treat guests in the main courtyard. The young masters and ladies in the house were all here, and there were different opinions around the Wang family and Ren Jun.

Ren Jun's eyes were sharp, and he got up and said to Xie Wan, "The third sister is coming."

Everyone at the table stopped laughing. Xie Wan greeted Wang, and Xie Wei warmly waved her to sit beside her. Xie Yun poured tea for her. Xie Qi pointed to her cup and said, "The third sister is late. It's time to drink!"

Xie Tong and others coaxed. Xie Yun said, "My sister is too young to drink!" Let's have some tea."

Xie Qi shook Wang's arm: "This is the rule for everyone. It's agreed to be late for the penalty cup. Why don't you follow it when you get to your third sister?

Wang smiled and said, "Brother Yun is right. My sister is still young and can't drink. Sister Wan, don't break their rules. Drink three cups of tea!"

Xie Qiran refused. He sneered and said, "If you can rely on people to urinate, aren't there a lot of people older than me? You can also cheat, and I can also cheat. The biggest one here is the eldest brother. So we don't have to punish these people. We just need to punish the eldest brother for everything!"

The words made everyone speechless. Even Xie Wei and Xie Yun didn't talk.

Xie Qi stood up and insisted on the wine jug around the crowd to Xie Wan. Ren Jun grabbed her sleeve: "She's your sister!" Xie Qi turned his head and smiled, "Just because she is my sister, not an outsider, we can't escape this rule!" It's just three glasses of wine, not poison. What are you afraid of?!"

Although the cup is only the size of copper money, three glasses of wine can't hurt people, but with Xie Wan's five-year-old body, whether he can stand these three glasses of wine and walk out of the banquet hall soberly is an obvious problem.

If she is drunk, what will happen? He lost his face in front of Ren Jun, who was dignified in appearance, and made him stay away from him from now on?

Xie Wan, who wandered between the mansions with a good appearance in his previous life, was too clear about this little thought between women.

Unfortunately, there are many people in the Xie family who are going to see her jokes, and the only one who will come forward for her, Xie Lang is also out of the house.

Xie Qi had arrived, picked up the glass in front of her and filled it. The fragrance of wine is refreshing, and it is the green bamboo leaves for years. In her previous life, she was a good drinker and often drank with her depressed brother. I just don't know if it has been brought to this world.

"My sister is about to drink it." Xie Qi smiled gently and cutely, and he didn't seem to be forced at all.

Xie Wan raised his glass and covered his sleeve to his lips. Everyone on the table stared over and saw that the glass paused in front of her lips. She suddenly closed the mouth of the glass and put it down. Her eyes were shining. She looked at Xie Qi and said, "It's boring to drink like this. I didn't know you had rules in advance. Well, second sister, guess there is still wine in this glass. If I guess it, I'd rather drink three more cups.

Everyone was stunned and looked at Xie Qi.

Xie Qi squeezed his lips and stared at her, "What if you don't guess?"

Xie Wan smiled and said, "I didn't guess. Just hold your knees and turn ten somersaults on the ground."

Xie Wan didn't pay attention to Ren Jun at all. Even if he was drunk in front of him, it was no big deal. But how embarrassing it is to turn over somersaults in public. If Xie Qi finishes these ten somersaults, the consequences will be much more serious than her drunk.

Xie Yun laughed and high-fived, "Okay! Just bet on it!"

Ren Jun looked at Xie Wan and Xie Qi again, and frowned slightly.

Wang said, "What kind of somersault do girls turn over? You have to punish something else!"

"Madam is biased!" Xie Wan said coquettishly, "They are all your granddaughters. Why does the second sister have to punish me for drinking? I can't bet with her on a few somersaults? It's just ten somersaults. It's not to beat her and scold her. The wife looks down on the second sister so much and thinks that she will definitely lose, or does she think the second sister can't afford to lose?

In the head of so many people, the Wang family will certainly not admit bias. He smiled and said, "I won't get into you. Let you make trouble!"

Xie Qi is so strong that he wants to see Xie Wan make a fool of himself in front of Ren Jun. Of course, he will not give up easily. After listening to Xie Wan's excitement, he shouted, "Just bet! At that time, don't rely on someone younger than me!"

Xie Wan smiled and said, "Naturally, I'm willing to gamble and lose."

Xie Qi stared at her hatefully, approached her, stared at the glass covered under her small palm, and then carefully looked at the corners of her lips and face. Half a day later, he blurted out, "There is wine in the glass! I didn't see you drinking at all!"

"Is it?" Xie Wan smiled and withdrew his hand.

The glass is empty, where is any wine!

Xie Qi was stunned, pointed to the cup and Xie Wan, and said repeatedly, "How can it be, how can it be?"

"What's impossible?" Xie Wan leisurely pulled out the wet handkerchief from his sleeve and gave it to Yuxue behind him. "You didn't see me drinking, but it doesn't mean that there is wine in the glass. I'm willing to lose the bet. Second sister, hurry up and some somersault, otherwise the dishes will be cold."

The fact that the amount of alcohol in her previous life has not been brought back to this life does not mean that she does not understand the little tricks on the wine table. These tricks can't be fooled in front of adults, but adults won't force a five-year-old child to get off the stage like Xie Qi, will they?

"You cheated! You poured all the wine on the veil!"

Xie Qi pointed to her loudly and shouted. Then he ran to Ren Jun and shouted, "Brother Jun! The third sister is cheating at all!"

Ren Jun muttered for a long time, "But what the third sister bet with you is whether there is wine in the glass, not where the wine has gone. If you want to talk about cheating, it can't be said."

"Not bad, not bad! That's it! Second sister, turn over somersault!"

Xie Yun danced with joy.

Xie Qi was so anxious that he was about to cry, but even Wang Shi was the first to say it, just looked at them like a naughty child and smiled.

The boys didn't know what was going on here, and they were proud of the man. They didn't want the people of the Ren family to see that the Xie family was not responsible, so they started to coaxed from the side. Xie Qi bit his lower lip and turned over ten somersaults, then covered his face and went back to the room crying. Ruan was afraid that she would offend Ren Jun, so she changed her clothes and persuaded her to stop crying, and then sent her back.

From beginning to end, Xie Qi had no appetite. Not to mention persuading him to drink, he only ate three shrimps with thick tail fingers.

Xie Wan happily bumped up with Xie Wei with tea instead of wine and tasted the cold sparrow tongue and ginseng steamed deer in front of him.

Xi Shangren Jun looked at her with inquiring eyes from time to time. Xie Wan did not glance at his side at all. After eating enough, he went back to the room contentedly.

And Xie Qi's bad mood seemed to have lasted for two or three days. It was not until Xie Hong came back to collect the account on the eve of Laba Festival and brought her beautiful beads that he finally got better.

However, Xie Lang came back that night, and Xie Wan was no longer so bored that she wanted to walk around, so no matter how much Xie Qi held his breath, it would not affect her.

After Xie Lang came back, Ren Jun also went to the Yifeng Courtyard with Xie Yun and Xie Tong twice. Both times, Xie Wan did not come out to say hello on the pretext of falling asleep, so even Xie Lang saw her abnormality.

"Ren Gongzi is gentle and polite, and his knowledge is also good. He is a person you can make friends with. Even if you don't like to deal with people, you should say hello. It's not good if it doesn't come out like this.

Xie Lang thought that his sister was just spoiled by her parents in the past, and her nature was a little arbitrary, so she carefully persuaded her.

Xie Wan disapproved of the word "can make friends" in his mouth. However, I didn't want to interact with the Ren family because of the treachery of the Ren family in the previous life, but it was difficult to find a corresponding name to stop my brother from dealings with Ren Jun, so I had to nod silently and listen to it.
