Chapter 46 (1/2)
In a blink of an eye, seven days after the winter festival sacrifice, the Wu family is still as peaceful as usual. What should we do or what should we do? It seems that we have completely forgotten that the sacrifice asked the God to break the three pillars of incense.
After the sacrifice, Wu Shi, the ninth son of Wu family, and Wu Bai, the tenth son of Wu family, came back from the school and ran to dule square almost every day.
The so-called ”ten bet and nine lose”, the two young men bet more and more. In less than a day, they lost all the silver they had won and the monthly regulations issued by the Wu family. They even borrowed a large amount of huge silver copies from the gambling club, and made a written promise to return the silver within seven days. Unexpectedly, in just half a day, they lost all the silver they had borrowed.
This time, the two young men were in a hurry. They did not dare to ask for money from their families or let their families know. Finally, the innkeeper of the gambling club would like them to mortgage the goods, but the mortgaged goods must be three magic tools: bone dragon nail, ghost flute and xuanya fan.
As soon as Wu Shi and Wu Bo heard this, they immediately doubted the innkeeper of the gambling house. How does this person know that they have these magic weapons? But on second thought, the gambling house is a place where dragon and fish are mixed, and the innkeeper of the gambling house has a very wide network of people. It's not strange to know that they have these magic tools, so he dispels the doubt and goes home to get them.
However, all the magic tools are put in their storehouse. You need to get the key to open the door of the storehouse.
Wu Shi and Wu Bo stayed patiently at home for two days. Finally, they found the opportunity for Wu qianbin and Wu Qiantong to go out for inspection together, and they found an excuse for their mother to open the warehouse.
”Niang, everyone in the school said privately that I was wearing shabby clothes, and I didn't even have a decent ornament. I'm not as good as the attendants around them. Now I have no face to go to the school again.” Wubai took Dong Mingji's hand and said: ”Niang, you let me go to the storehouse to pick some precious pendants, so that I can go to the school to destroy their prestige.”
”How well do your cousins dress?” Dong Mingji was not happy immediately when someone said something bad about her baby son: ”I remember that when I went to your school last time, I didn't see a few people dressed better than you. What's their qualification to say about you? Take the pendant on your waist. It's made of superior white jade. It's the hand of the jade carving master of the imperial capital. Eh, where's your waist jade? ”
There was a flash of heart failure in Uber's eyes. Naturally, he didn't dare to tell her that all the valuable things on his body had been taken to the pawnshop: ”I put them in the room, and it will only make me lose face.”
”How can it be disgraceful, but...”
”Mother, you don't know that the cousins of the West and east courtyard are wearing jade bracelets or some magic jade ornaments. Everyone is better than me.”
”Is there such a thing?” Dong Mingji thought that the baby's son was poorer than others, so he felt uncomfortable. He didn't want to be laughed at by other sister-in-law, so he stood up and went to the inner room to get the key of the ex warehouse: ”go, go to the warehouse with his mother.”
Wubai's plan was successful, and he was very happy. He followed Dong Mingji to the storehouse and picked out three precious pieces that were worn by men. Then, he and Dong Mingji wanted to go to the secret room where the magic weapons were stored.
Dong Ming Ji was soft hearted, so he opened the secret room to let him in.
Taking advantage of her inattention, Uber slipped the ghost flute and xuanya fan into her sleeve. After leaving the warehouse, she quickly found an excuse to leave Shutong yard and wait in the carriage outside the gate that she had arranged with him before.
About half an hour later, Wushi also got on the carriage.
”How are you, brother Jiu?” asked Uber anxiously. ”Have you got it?”
”Who am I? How can I not get it?” Wushi smirked, ”you know, I thought of letting our mother open the warehouse.”
Wubai smiled happily, and then he wilted: ”brother Jiu, if my father knew that I had stolen a magic weapon to mortgage, he would break my legs.”
Wushi put away his smile: ”don't worry, my father and my uncle can't use magic tools recently. We just need to redeem them before they find them.”
”But where do we get so much money to redeem magic weapons? By the way, my mother just gave me three precious accessories. We can take them as debt repayment. ”
Wushi turned his white eyes and said, ”you are stupid. These accessories should be hung on your body every day. If they are gone, how can you tell your mother?”
”Also, how can we redeem the magic weapon with silver?”
”Isn't the new year here? We will receive a lot of red envelopes then, and we will have money to pay our debts. ”
”Yes.” Wubai giggled, ”it's still nine brothers who are smart.”
When they came to the gambling club, they rushed to the third floor in a hurry.
there were so many people who came to the gambling club to gamble money.
When they ran to the second floor, suddenly, they ran into a man who was just going downstairs. Then, with a sound of ”pa”, a black and blue jade flute fell out of the Cupressus sleeve.
Wubai was surprised and hurriedly put the ghost flute back in his arms. He said angrily, ”you walk without eyes? If my magic weapon is damaged, how can you compensate me? ”
”Ten brothers.” Wushi was worried about his trouble, so he quickly stopped him from saying, ”if the magic weapon is not broken, it's OK. Now we see that it's important for the shopkeeper.”
With a snort of wubai's cold voice, the man who glared at him met Wushi on the third floor, walked to the innermost room, got the consent of the guard, and entered the shopkeeper's study.
The man who bumped into Uber was no one else. He was called here to stare at their heigan. When he saw that the door of the third floor was closed, he turned around and followed up the third floor, with six guards behind him.
”Innkeeper Yu, we have brought the magic weapon you want.”
Ushi and Uber took out the magic weapon.
