Chapter 557 Watching the Fun

"He actually went to the gambling room to play cards and lost all the property you gave him before, including more than half of his wife's dowry."

Yuan Li looked at him with interest, "You must have lost a lot of things in your house recently. In fact, it was not stolen by any servant at all. It was you, the second son, who stole it and sold it to make money to gamble on your own."

"..."

The chief secretary of Xuzhou couldn't stop laughing at all. Recently, a lot of things had been lost at home. His wife had punished many servants for this, and they were arrested, but the things were still lost.

He thought there was some ghost causing trouble, but it turned out that there was a thief in the house.

Xuzhou's chief secretary's face was ashen and he wished he could go home right now and catch the little bastard and beat him up.

This prodigal thing was just for gambling, but it was actually found out.

Jiang Qian listened with great interest, "This kind of gambling is not a good thing. Once you get into it, it will be difficult to get out. When you go back, you should advise your second son more. Study hard and make progress is the right way."

"Yes." Chief Secretary Xuzhou reluctantly twitched his lips.

At this time, Yuan Li's eyes swept through the crowd again, and everyone he took a fancy to secretly complained, looking at the sky and the table, but not at Yuan Li.

Yuan Li rolled his eyes and finally focused on Liu Jing.

Liu Jing pretended to be calm.

"Master Yuan, why are you staring at Mr. Liu? Are you seeing something?"

Someone said curiously, but received a cold look from Liu Bian.

Although they are all officials of the Xuzhou faction, after the scene just now, everyone's scandal was exposed, even Sima was no exception.

But the Liu family members just sat there and watched their good show in vain, which made everyone feel unbalanced.

Since we want to watch a good show, naturally we should all come together.

"Master Liu, I see from your face that there is a big disaster in front of you. If you insist on going your own way, there may be a bloody disaster and your family will be affected."

Liu Jing's breathing shortened and her heartbeat quickened.

Yuan Li pinched his fingers and calculated in a decent manner, "Oh, your catastrophe will be today."

"I didn't expect you to be able to read faces, but I don't know how to break this catastrophe?"

Master Sima said in a strange tone.

Yuan Li's thumb kept moving back and forth between the four fingers, and suddenly he slapped the table: "Yes, you can go home now and hide under the bed until dark."

"No matter what happens outside, no matter who tells you, don't come out. As long as you get through tonight, you can be in peace."

A flash of hesitation flashed in Liu Jing's eyes, but after noticing his father's gaze, he suddenly became firm again.

"Master Yuan, I don't believe what you are saying."

Yuan Li spread his hands and said regretfully: "Then it's up to you."

The official on the side smoothed things over, "Let's have a drink. We were just talking and didn't even eat."

Yuan Li raised his chopsticks, hesitated between several dishes, and then put them down again.

"I'm not hungry."

Liu Bian: "..."

"Master Jiang, aren't you hungry too?"

Jiang Qian said with a smile: "I am indeed a little hungry, but I'm afraid I can't get used to eating so many delicious dishes. Let the chef make me a bowl of porridge."

After that, he explained to everyone, "You must also know that I have been injured before, and I have been recuperating over the years. Doctor Ouyang said that I should eat more light food and less fishy and greasy food, so I'd better forget this meal. "

"Could Doctor Ouyang be the miracle doctor?" someone asked curiously. "it's him."

Liu Bian's smile stiffened a bit, "Since it is Dr. Ouyang's medical order, it is difficult to violate it. Master Yuan and Master Jiang, I'm really sorry. I'm a little drunk, so I'll go and take a break."

"Father, I will go with you."

Yuan Li also stood up, "I happen to want to go too, it's convenient."

The expressions of the father and son changed.

Xuzhou Sima on the side said: "Master Yuan, let Master Liu and others go first. I happen to have something to ask you."

"There is no rush for this moment."

After saying that, he walked straight to Liu Bian's side.

Liu Jing's hand holding his father tightened slightly. Liu Bian, who had just pretended to have a headache, now looked clear.

"Then let's go together."

When the three of them came back, they suddenly found that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the restaurant lobby.

At this time, Liu Bian discovered that there was an extra person in the hall, and wasn't this person his second son Liu Kun?

Liu Kun was receiving compliments from several adults, and his cheeks turned red when they said so. When he saw his father and brother, his face instantly turned pale, and he did not forget to step forward and bow respectfully, "Father and brother. "

"Second brother, why are you here? Shouldn't you be going on a study tour?" Liu Jing was young after all, and she spoke quickly when she was anxious.

Liu Kun ignored his father's warning gaze and walked up to Jiang Qian.

"You can study at any time, but it is not that easy to meet Mr. Jiang. I have admired Mr. Jiang for a long time and of course I cannot miss such a good opportunity."

Jiang Qian said: "Mr. Liu, Young Master Ling is very talented. He can speak well and quote scriptures at a young age. He will surely be full of glory in high school in the future."

Liu Kun blushed again, "Mr. Jiang, you have given me too much praise. I am very talented and have little knowledge. I still have a lot to learn."

There was no joy at all on Liu Bian's face, and there was even a trace of anger in his eyes.

Liu Jing helped Liu Bian sit down and said to Liu Kun on the side: "Mr. Jiang, you've seen me too. It's better to go back early. Don't forget that you still have a lot of homework to do."

As he spoke, he squeezed his brother's hand and motioned for him to leave quickly.

Liu Kun didn't appreciate his kindness at all, and turned around to break away from his hand, "Brother and the others didn't drive me away. Besides, I won't cause any trouble if I stay here."

"Bastard, is this where you should be? Go back quickly." Liu Bian suddenly became angry.

Liu Kun thought of the slap he received, feeling angry, aggrieved, and a little scared.

But when he thought about what they were going to do, it was hard to just sit back and do nothing.

Yuan Li took advantage of the situation and nodded at Jiang Qian.

Jiang Qian's lips curled up slightly.

"Master Liu, let the second young master stay. After all, he is also a student of Fu Xue. He also understands some tasks in Xuzhou and may be able to provide some opinions." Jiang Qian put in good words for Liu Kun.

Liu Kun's eyes immediately lit up with stars. He didn't know Jiang Qian and Yuan Li's plans yet, but he just felt that he was one step closer to his idol.

Jiang Qian's heart trembled, and he couldn't bear it for some reason.

But only a little bit.

"Master Jiang is joking, what can he know as a child? There will be an exam in the government academy later, so let him go back and review his homework as soon as possible." Liu Bian explained.

Lord Sima also helped, "Yes, yes, yes, I heard that that exam is particularly important."
