Chapter 198 Shen Jingzhen's Expectations

Shen Shuyi could roughly guess what was in Shen Jinglin's mind. He had lost money before, and he not only wanted to win it back, but also wanted to earn more.

But crickets are different from ordinary gambling houses.

It is like a soldier going to the battlefield to fight. His physical strength and condition will inevitably have good and bad times. He will never be truly invulnerable and tireless.

Shen Jinglin had suffered losses in this regard before, and now he knows that crickets will eventually run out of energy, so he will participate less frequently.

After playing one or two games, you always have to let the crickets take a break.

But for an ambitious gambler, he can only watch and not participate, which is bound to make him feel itchy.

What's more, he was anxious to win more money, so naturally the stakes became higher and higher, and the money he played got bigger and bigger.

The bigger you play, the more you lose.

What he won before was barely enough for him to squander, and in the end he got too rich and naturally had to rely on his reputation as the young master of the Shen family to buy things on credit.

The old woman smiled a little and continued, "Then the game got bigger. Young Master Shen was invited upstairs and played a round with Eunuch Huang. He lost another 10,000 taels."

Shen Shuyi raised his eyebrows: "Little Eunuch Huang?"

The old woman whispered, "He is the adopted son of Eunuch Huang in the palace. Because he has the same surname as Eunuch Huang and is quite capable of handling affairs, they recognized him as their adopted son."

Shen Shuyi said nothing, only feeling that his uncle was really capable.

Eunuch Huang is a capable eunuch beside the current emperor. Not only are the concubines in the harem respectful to him, but even the ministers in the court are quite respectful to him.

Although people of their status would have to have seven or eight godsons, but since they were godsons, the title of godson meant much more importance than being a nameless eunuch.

The old woman looked at Shen Shuyi's face and continued, "When Master Shen lost and left, he was talking nonsense. Eunuch Xiao Huang ridiculed him and the two agreed to fight again tomorrow."

Listening to the old woman's words, Shen Shuyi guessed that this eunuch Huang was not very old.

But regardless, it's a good thing.

"Tomorrow? He has to be able to come up with the money." Shen Shuyi said in a calm voice.

The old woman immediately said, "Today, Master Shen borrowed five thousand taels of silver from Furui Tower and wrote an IOU. If he returns it tomorrow, he will definitely have to borrow more."

Shen Shuyi curled her lips, her almond eyes clear and sharp: "Who else did you borrow it from?"

The old woman rolled her eyes and responded quickly: "It depends on who else will compete with Young Master Shen tomorrow. But I heard that several young generals have also become fascinated by this recently."

Shen Shuyi asked Jinzhu to give her some silver, and the old woman smiled brightly: "Second Miss, do you have anything to say to the master?"

Shen Shuyi said gently: "No need, my uncle is thorough and thorough, he will naturally arrange everything."

The old woman left satisfied.

Shen Shuyi leaned on the couch, put the book to his face, and thought carefully about recent events to make sure there were no omissions.

After a whole day's work, Shen Jinglin not only lost all his money, but also owed a lot of debts.

The young boy was also full of anger.

This immortal bird of his was extremely powerful. If he had not run out of energy at the last moment, he would not have lost.

Thinking of this, Shen Jinglin felt regretful. He should have stopped two rounds earlier, and he should not have placed such high stakes in the last two rounds.

Now, he, the legitimate son of the Shangshu Mansion, was actually being laughed at by a eunuch without any roots!

It really pissed him off!

"Young master, the third lady wants you to come over." A maid had been waiting on the road that Shen Jinglin had to take to return to the courtyard.

Shen Jinglin was stunned for a moment, then remembered what Shen Jingzhen had asked him to ask.

He immediately changed direction and went to Shen Jingzhen's yard.

Because it was getting late, Shen Jingzhen's yard seemed even more gloomy. The candlesticks and lotus lamps were lit one after another, which always made a teenager like Shen Jinglin feel indescribably unhappy.

As soon as she saw him, Shen Jingzhen angrily scolded him: "You took the money and forgot about my business, right? You still want me to send people to invite you again and again!"

"Good sister, I am indeed having a lot of fun, but I haven't missed a single word of what you asked me to ask. What's more, Commander Feng is very busy, and it's not easy for me to see him." Shen Jinglin said in a flattering manner.

Hearing this, Shen Jingzhen's anger subsided a little: "Tell me quickly, what did he say?"

Shen Jinglin immediately raised his hand and rubbed his fingers: "Third sister, lend me some more money."

Shen Jingzhen was stunned for a moment, hanging there in the air, neither going up nor down.

"One thousand taels? You've already spent it all in just a few days! What have you been doing?"

Shen Jinglin said: "I've had a few drinks with friends, so I've spent all my money quickly. Are you going to give it to me or not? If not, I can leave!"

To be honest, Shen Jinglin really doesn't think highly of the 1,800 taels now, but no matter what, it is better than nothing.

Shen Jingzhen was anxious to know Feng Bochang's news, so she gave him five hundred taels with a cold face: "That's all, take it or not."

Shen Jinglin frowned in disdain and finally put the silver in his pocket.

"Commander Feng only said that he has been busy lately, but everything else is fine. As for my grandmother's birthday party, he is not sure if he will be on duty that day, but his mother will be there, so out of courtesy, he should go as well."

After hearing this, Shen Jingzhen's face immediately showed more smiles, her complexion was full of spring, and she looked even more shy.

Shen Jinglin looked at her and couldn't help but said, "What if he comes? You can't run out and meet him in private, don't forget that you are still under house arrest. Oh no, you are practicing in the mansion. Grandmother's birthday banquet..."

Shen Jingzhen interrupted him with a cold face: "You don't need to say anything sarcastic here. Mother said that father has agreed to my appearance at grandmother's birthday party, but I need to apologize to the Wang family in public."

When mentioning this, Shen Jingzhen gritted her teeth.

That scoundrel from the Wang family tarnished her reputation, but she still wanted to apologize to him. This is outrageous!

But she had to go to her grandmother's birthday party. That day, Mrs. Feng witnessed with her own eyes how Wang Xiao saved her. She wondered what Commander Feng was thinking.

No matter what, she would find an opportunity to go out and meet him.

She wanted to explain it to him face to face.

So even though she was unwilling, she agreed to apologize to the Wang family.

After all, her mother said that if she didn't agree, she wouldn't be able to attend the birthday party...

But what should she wear that day?

She hadn't shown up for such a long time, she absolutely couldn't let anyone look down on her. Moreover, Commander Feng would also be here, so she had to make him look impressive.

"Chun Tao, go and get all my clothes out."

After saying this, Shen Jingzhen could no longer suppress her excitement. She didn't even bother to care about Shen Jinglin who hadn't left yet, and immediately began to think about what she should wear that day.

Most of the clothes were still there, but the beautiful head ornaments and jewelry were all locked in a box.

As Shen Jingzhen pondered over this, she began to look through her makeup box, but after trying many times, she still couldn't find anything she was satisfied with.

"No, Chuntao, go and ask my mother out tomorrow morning and tell her that I want to see her."

She had to ask her mother to open the box of jewelry and have her mother make her two new styles that were popular in Beijing. Now that her reputation was not good, her mother must have hoped that she could marry into a good family like the Feng family.
