Confucius businesswoman: proud of the world

Chapter 45 The Onset of Qi
A thick stack of bank notes was in front of him, as if deliberately reminding the guests next to him to pay attention.

On Kong Linglong's always serious face, a smile slowly crossed, shallow, but it made the whole face vivid and beautiful.

Su Ye's eyes froze.

The bank note was received by Kong Linglong, and she smiled faintly: "You did a good job, and the owner of the gambling house also kept his word."

17 taels, the gambling house is afraid that they will lose all their money, and even lose their pants.

The gambling house only wanted to make money, and this time, taking advantage of the popularity of the city, they proudly planned to make a fortune.But if they think about it, they won't know that the person who was gambled actually bet on himself, and the bet is so big that the boss of the gambling house should be hiding in the house and crying.

Every guest at the Liu's banquet was about to drop their jaws to the table, especially when they saw Kong Linglong's green fingers scribing the banknotes one by one, their eyes turned green.

Mrs. Liu looked at the stacked banknotes, her chest was full of blood, and she couldn't help asking: "What's going on here?"

Kong Linglong raised her eyes to look at her, with a cold smile in her eyes: "Linglong heard that everyone is very interested in this banquet, and the odds of the gambling house have been pulled to unprecedented heights, so Linglong is not talented. It’s also a gamble with an itchy hand.”

Itchy hands took a gamble... Could this be itchy hands? !Everyone wished they could just dig a hole in the ground, and the bet was whether Kong Linglong would come to the Liu family, whether or not she would come, could Kong Linglong not know in her mind?The so-called gamble with an itchy hand is simply knowing the outcome, so you take the money to gamble with the empty glove white wolf!
17 taels, so much money, Kong Linglong didn't do anything, just came to Liu's house for a drink, and got 17 taels for nothing.

Everyone wants to cry, but why don't they have such a brain, can't think of this?

Seeing everyone's expressions, Kong Linglong smiled suddenly, turned to Mrs. Liu and said, "Madam, if you don't mind, the expenses for today's banquets will be paid by my Kong family. After all, Mrs. Liu is not as generous as Mrs. Liu. We came to the banquet, and Linglong was not so lucky, and got the 17 taels of silver for nothing."

Everyone has understood what it means to be so angry that people don't pay for their lives. Kong Linglong also deliberately emphasized the word plain, meaning that the money was really easy to come by.

Mrs. Liu's face was pale, her lips were trembling, she looked at Kong Linglong with straight eyes, and after a long while she managed to utter a word: "Miss Kong was joking, this is our Liu family's banquet, how can I ask Miss Kong to pay for it?"

Kong Linglong smiled faintly: "The eldest lady is really generous."

The meaning hidden in the words is even more stinging, is it saying that the Liu family made her earn so much money for no reason, and they still don't want to return it?

Mrs. Liu found that she couldn't lift it up in one breath, but her eyes began to darken, and her body was shaking to the point of falling.

The servant girl next to her immediately supported Mrs. Liu, called "Ma'am" twice, but there was no response, so she didn't care about anything, and raised her voice: "My wife has a headache, go down and rest first, everyone, please do your own thing!"

As he spoke, he hurriedly helped Mrs. Liu down.

Before the banquet started, Mrs. Liu, who was the host, felt unwell, and everyone was in an uproar. Looking at Kong Linglong, she had calmly put the banknote into her arms, as if nothing had happened just now.

In the backyard of the Liu Mansion, Liu Liangyue was thinking about how to deal with Kong Linglong later, when she heard the servant girl flying up to report: "It's not good, miss, the eldest madam got sick by that Kong Linglong!"

Liu Liangyue raised eyebrows and raised eyes immediately: "What did you say?!"

The servant girl repeated it carefully: "The madam has returned from the front yard, and now she is looking for a doctor!"

Liu Liangyue immediately smashed the hairpin in her hand to pieces, and glared angrily: "Kong Linglong, I can't spare you!"

Liu Liangyue gritted her teeth and went to look for Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu and Liu Shao's ancestors and grandchildren originally only needed to show their faces at the banquet, but Mrs. Liu should take care of it.

However, when the maid said that Kong Linglong had won 17 taels of bet in the gambling house, and wanted to pay for the banquet in Liu's residence in front of everyone, she made Mrs. Liu very angry on the spot.

Liu Liangyue cried: "Grandfather, brother, you can no longer let that daughter of the Confucian family do anything wrong. Why should she pay for the banquet in our Liu residence?"

Old Mrs. Liu's face was ashen. They thought this banquet would make the Kong family look bad, but the result was not good. The head lady got angry and sick, which made him feel ashamed.

Liu Shaodu's face turned cold, and he said for a moment, "Grandfather, don't be angry. There are so many guests outside now, and Kong Linglong is so blatantly taking out the banknotes, thinking that he has the upper hand, in fact, it may have aroused public anger."

There are unprecedentedly many people participating in the betting. Among the guests present, many of them are likely to bet their capital.

Kong Linglong deliberately put 17 taels in front of everyone. They may not have noticed it for a while, but after thinking about it, wouldn't there be a feeling of being tricked?
Liu Liangyue stood up suddenly, and said: "Brother, I don't care if she makes public anger or not, if she gets angry and sick of mother, I must make her look good!"

Liu Shao looked at her and said slowly: "Liangyue, I know how you feel, leave this matter to my grandfather and I, don't mess up because you are angry."

Liu Liangyue is still very convinced of this brother, but this time it is about Mrs. Liu, she still secretly hates it.

Old Master Liu suddenly said coldly: "Shao Er, follow me to the front hall to welcome guests!"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Liangyue was overjoyed, and Liu Shao looked solemn.

Liu Liangyue was in a hurry to find the right opportunity: "Grandfather, brother, take me with you!"

Mrs. Liu fell ill with anger, and her biological daughter was the most angry, and she tried her best to avenge Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu glanced at her at this moment: "Don't worry, there will be times when you will help your mother."

For the guests in the front yard, because Kong Linglong made a huge sum of 17 taels, many people felt pimples in their hearts.It is true that most of them participated in the betting. From the envy at the beginning, now the more I think about it, the more I feel that this Kong Linglong is deliberately using the gambling house to collect money.Isn't this deception? !
There is no reason under the unbalanced heart, and they all resented.

But he didn't want to think about it. The Liu family who posted the post to invite people was the gambling house, and it was themselves who wanted to bet to make money. Seeing that they didn't get any benefits at the moment, they blamed Kong Linglong.

This is the human heart.

Yu'er said: "Miss, this group of people are really unfamiliar white-eyed wolves."

How much my lady has done for Xianyang, and how much money she has spent, not to mention far away. Recently, the lady has put in so much effort to get the county magistrates of the two places to send troops to guard the waterway. How much benefit has been gained from it.But now it's just a petty profit being violated, so they adopt this attitude.

Kong Linglong looked calm: "Then why do you have to get angry over a pack of wolves?"

Fortunately, the Liu family arranged for Kong Linglong this superior position, so that the master and servant could speak in private without being heard.

Yu'er was moved a little bit, thinking about it, she followed the example of the young lady, no matter who looked at her, she pretended not to see her, her eyes were straight on her body and her body was straight.

No matter how angry those people glared, Kong Linglong's master and servant would pretend they didn't know. On the contrary, her own eyes were still tired from staring. After a long time, they gave up and just cursed in their hearts.

Someone said in a strange voice: "Didn't you say that today is to celebrate Mr. Liu's high school leader? Why haven't we seen the protagonist come out so far?"

Those young ladies immediately lowered their heads in shame. As soon as Cong Suye came out, the girls in their boudoirs couldn't help but be shocked by the brilliance, and they couldn't help stealing a look. They didn't have a chance to go out, and at home they faced rough men like their father and brother. They had seen such gentle and handsome people, and they even forgot their real purpose of coming here, meeting Mr. Liu Shao.

Hearing people mention it at this time, it is inevitable to feel ashamed, and secretly scolded myself for being so volatile.

It just so happened that someone called out at this time: "The old man and the eldest son are here!"

Immediately, I saw a majestic old man and a young man who looked weak coming out. In the hearts of the people in Xianyang, Liu Shao has always been like a cloud in the sky, unattainable. Countless legends, coupled with beautiful imagination , rendering Liu Shao extremely moving.

So now Liu Shao came out like a halo above his head, showing that extremely elegant face, and smiled at the guests. Although he couldn't reverse all beings like a woman, he succeeded in making half of the female relatives blush and bow their heads shyly.

Mrs. Liu looked at the people in the hall, and said in a calm and pretentious voice, "My eldest daughter-in-law has always been ill and neglected all distinguished guests, so the old man will replace the eldest daughter-in-law in the following matters."

When everyone saw it, even Mrs. Liu appeared in person, especially those merchants below. It is difficult to see even court officials above the sixth rank. Now Mrs. Liu is standing in front of him with a second rank, and the eyes of anyone who is not excited are shining.

They all said: "Where is the need for the old man to come out in person, we are really flattered."

Others scrambled to agree: "Yes, yes, I haven't congratulated Mr. Liu, the leader of the high school. Mr. Liu is really young and promising. Xianyang is really blessed to have Liu's family here!"

The corner of Yu'er's mouth twitched. I knew that these people were stalking people, but when I met Mrs. Liu and Liu Shao, I don't need to be so servile, right?

Liu Shao's eyes slowly fell on the girl above, that was the person who almost became his wife, in his mind, the daughter of a merchant from a humble and unbearable background.

At this time, Kong Linglong raised her eyes coldly and glanced at Liu Shao.Liu Shao was startled. What surprised her was that she was so sharp, and the one she showed was not at all like the beautiful girl he had imagined, but with a faint radiance all over her body.

The corner of Kong Linglong's mouth suddenly curled up in an unabashed sarcasm.

Then, he looked away directly, as if he didn't see Liu Shao at all.

Liu Shao's arm supporting Mrs. Liu was slightly stiff. No one likes the feeling of being treated like air, but the other party still doesn't hide it.
