The next day, Meng Chang lost again; and added a thousand guan of debt, borrowed from Wang Zhenfu, because the gambling house knew his identity and did not dare to force him to pay back the debt, nor was he willing to continue borrowing money. When he returned home, he was no longer a penny, and had foreign debts plus interest totaling more than 2,600 guan.

The money is hundreds of coins, and even more than two thousand coins is not a small amount for a wealthy family. Meng Chang's rank is not low, and his salary is nearly one year.

Meng Chang cried and regretted in front of Mrs. Huarui: "I lost even Furong's jewelry and clothes. I'm not a human being! When I recovered from this aura, I will definitely be nice to Furong."

After hearing this, Mrs. Huarui was filled with mixed feelings. On the one hand, she was so disappointed with a husband like this; but on the other hand, Meng Chang's feelings full of guilt were very sincere... In the past, no one had ever treated her with care a little better than Meng Chang, and Mrs. Huarui became soft-hearted.

Meng Chang was at a loss, but Mrs. Huarui was still very sober. She immediately asked: "Wang Zhenfu lends you money for a purpose. What are his requirements?"

Meng Chang said: "He asked me to come back and ask Furong to ask you to plead for him in front of Guodu's inspection. As long as you keep the official position, you will return the IOU and let me not pay back the money."

"We can't do this condition." Mrs. Huarui said with certainty, "General Guo is not the emperor of Shu, and he will not play with officials. Wang Zhenfu lost his official position not only because he offended others, but also because he is a corrupt official."

Meng Chang said with a frown: "How can I pay back the money?"

Mrs. Huarui pondered and said, "It is reasonable not to pay back it. Even the money from the gambling house can be paid. No one dares to force you to make some money."

"Oh..." Meng Chang said helplessly.

Mrs. Huarui held her hands together and paced back and forth a few steps: "But we can't owe money to people like Wang Zhenfu. Alang should stay away from him, otherwise there will be trouble. I went to Jingniang to borrow. Two thousand six hundred guan is too much, so I can only ask for one thousand guan and repay Wang Zhenfu's money first."

Meng Chang didn't say anything.

Mrs. Huarui looked at him with a sad look on her face: "Alang, I did this for your own good. Wang Zhenfu must not make friends... The most difficult thing in the world is to borrow money, which is very harmful to your face. I'll lend you money for you, which is more uncomfortable than taking jewelry and clothes. Can you listen to me?"

Meng Chang nodded vigorously and said, "I am determined this time and will never go to bet anymore."

Mrs. Huarui sighed and pondered: "After I borrowed the money, I won't give it to you. I just asked Wei Zhong to exchange the loan note for it. But... you won't borrow money from Wang Zhenfu again, are you?"

"No!" Meng Chang gritted his teeth.

So Mrs. Huarui asked the eunuch Wei Zhong to meet Jingniang.

As expected, Jing Niang was still a nostalgic person and came soon. Mrs. Huarui cleaned up and only had old clothes left, and there was no valuable jewelry on her body. She looked at her image in the mirror. She was dressed like a noble lady, and felt that her face was gone. As a woman, she was still very competitive and vanity. Such things that were disgraceful were as uncomfortable as she walked in her heart.

The most difficult thing is to say that you borrow money. Wouldn’t it be even more shameless if you are rejected? After all, a thousand guan is not a decimal.

"I have no intention of dealing with myself when I stay at home." Mrs. Huarui greeted her when she saw Jing Niang.

Jing Niang ignored her words and said directly: "My wife comes to me. If there must be something to do, let's talk about the serious matter first."

"I want to borrow a thousand guan, but I don't know..." Mrs. Huarui bit her lower lip lightly.

"No problem." Jing Niang said expressionlessly, "No need to borrow it, I'll give you a thousand guan."

Mrs. Huarui sighed secretly, knowing that Jingniang is overdrawing the kindness of her kindness because she was in the past when she was rich and wealthy. She whispered again: "I don't want General Guo to know, it's quite embarrassing. I hope Jingniang will help me keep it a secret."

"In this case, I cannot withdraw it from the account. I don't have enough money privately. I have to go to Yuzhenguan first." Jing Niang said, "I'll send it to my wife tomorrow morning, can I?"

Mrs. Huarui nodded and said, "Okay, don't be too anxious."

...The next morning, Mrs. Huarui did not find Meng Chang. When Wei Zhong went to pay back the money, she told her that Meng Chang borrowed another 2,000 guan from Wang Zhenfu; a total of 3,000 guan was borrowed, and there was no interest. One thousand guan (given by Jing Niang), and there were still two thousand guan debts left.

Mrs. Huarui sat on the chair all at once, sitting there unable to say a word.

In the middle of the night, Meng Chang returned home dejected again. Mrs. Huarui's face could not hide her anger and sadness: "How did you become like this? What did you say yesterday? Alang, you know that I was so embarrassed for the sake of pulling you out of the mud pit! When I saw Jing Niang, I wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in... You, Qing Qiaoqiao lost another two thousand cents! How can we live if you do this?"

Meng Chang was stunned and said with a sad face: "It's boring to stay in the house. I just wanted to play backgammon (similar to the rules of flying chess), but I didn't think about borrowing money from Wang Zhenfu. Backgammon's win and loss were slow, and I played a little, just killing time..."

"Ah Lang is already penniless?" Mrs. Huarui frowned.

Meng Chang said: "Cui'er also hid some private money, so I asked her to give it to me."

After hearing this, Mrs. Huarui felt that her heart was very cold. It was not easy for her to save some money for a palace maid.

Meng Chang sighed and said, "I'm familiar with the two chess. I often play in the palace and won a little money. But what's that enough? I want to find two ladies to accompany me to drink some wine, so I couldn't help but take the money to bet... It disappeared all of a sudden, so..."

Mrs. Huarui stood up and said annoyedly: "There is nothing I can do! I don't care about you, now I can only rely on the debt!"

...Meng Chang slept all night and was bored again. He ran out despite Mrs. Huarui's crying and persuading him. Now the officials and clerks in the mansion seem to care about his freedom at all.

But he ran back soon and pestered Mrs. Huarui and begged, "It's just a sesame official position. You go and ask Jingniang to see if it's useful. Those officials who know that Jingniang is someone around Guo Shao will probably give me a favor."

"What? Wang Zhenfu doesn't lend you money?" Mrs. Huarui asked coldly, "It's good. Anyway, he will lose everything if he lends it to you!"

Meng Chang said anxiously: "I can get the money if I only have five hundred stakes! I beg you, madam, Furong!"

"It is impossible to make a profit until death!" Mrs. Huarui said annoyedly, and left the hall with her sleeves.

Meng Chang followed him all the way: "I've seen it for a few days, and there's probably a rule to follow. I was angry when I lost before, and I only paid for it in that tone. I've figured out how to do it now."

At this moment, Wei Zhong ran in and said, "Zuo Shaoqing and Jing Niang are here, and they want to see their wife."

Mrs. Huarui stopped and stroked her hair. Meng Chang also followed her. Mrs. Huarui whispered: "Don't borrow money! It's embarrassing to lose the country and the country. They are all people who have destroyed your country. If you lose, you must keep some dignity."

When he arrived at the hall, he saw a large bag of things on the table, and the raised area looked like money. Zuo You smiled and stood up and bowed: "I'll pay homage to Duke Qin and Mrs. Huarui."

Meng Chang bowed his hand to return the gift, and Mrs. Huarui also bowed her knees gently and made a blessing.

Several people sat back. Jing Niang was very silent, Zuo You said calmly: "There are about two thousand guan here..."

Mrs. Huarui said, "I dare not borrow money from you again."

"Madam, be careful, don't be impatient," Zuo You said calmly, "The money we have in our hands is so easy to get? Wang Zhenfu, the gambling house, don't want to make a penny. As for this money, the lady will return it to Wang Zhenfu first to avoid losing money... Then the people in Dali Temple can go to search the house and take back the capital and profit."

Mrs. Huarui was shocked and could not speak. Meng Chang also said something.

Zuo You was very calm: "The loan notes from the gambling house will be sent back to the Duke of Qin's mansion. However, Duke Qin cannot go out. Today, the guards in the mansion have changed... This way, Duke Qin can quit gambling, right? After this matter is done, I can report back to the lord. The wife is still satisfied with Mr. Zuo's method of doing things?"

Mrs. Huarui said: "I really have to bother General Guo."

Zuo You said: "No, the lord is just a word and then wait for the result. This matter can still be done."

Meng Chang said dissatisfiedly: "Aren't I under house arrest again?"

"I should have been restricted by the Duke of Qin, but the governor of the king was dereliction of duty and caused chaos." Zuo You said, "I am the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple. I can't directly manage the affairs here. It takes some time to coordinate."

After saying that, he looked at Meng Chang's face and smiled: "If the Duke of Qin likes gambling, his lord's second brother has the same hobby. One day, let him come to Duke Qin to have a chance to have a chance."

Zuo You was about to say goodbye after he finished speaking. Jing Niang walked to Mrs. Huarui and whispered: "There is a military general named Qin Bao among the guards. She is the subordinate of the Guo family. The wife wants to go out to find me, just look for him."

Mrs. Huarui hurriedly said, "Thank you, Jingniang."

"No need." Jing Niang said in a stiff tone.

...After seeing off the guests, Mrs. Huarui felt relieved, but she was still very upset and was very depressed, feeling that there were foul smells around her. She was a little tired, and just as she was about to return to the room to calm down, she heard the "Woooooooooooooo" crying sound.

She heard that the palace maid was crying, so she hurriedly walked over in the sound, opened the door and looked in. The palace maid heard the dull sound, and hurriedly covered her lower body with her clothes. Mrs. Huarui saw her bare legs under her clothes, so she turned around and closed the door, frowned and asked, "What happened? Why are you crying?"

The palace maid held the clothes on her legs, blushed and lowered her head without saying a word.

"Tell me, is someone bullying you?" Mrs. Huarui asked.

The palace maid shook her head vigorously and finally whispered: "I'm sick..."

After hearing this, Mrs. Huarui suddenly understood: "Did Alang get you infected?"

The palace maid choked and said, "It seems that I will only sleep with the Lang."
