Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 133

Dugu Xiude
He is an authentic imperial relative, and his grandfather is Dugu Zang, the fourth brother of Dugu Jialuo, Queen Dugu of the Great Sui Dynasty.

"Mu, bring me some of your mirrors, I don't want the grape arbor at home to fall down." Dugu Xiude asked directly.

"I'm all inside." Liu Mu replied shamelessly: "You have the ability to ask for it yourself."

Dugu Xiude waved his hand, he didn't want to talk about this topic with Liu Mu again, he knew very well that things like mirrors were in Dugu Lanruo's hands, and they wouldn't come out at all.

The Dugu family's loyalty to Dugu is written in the ancestral genealogy, and the one recorded is the sworn brother.

It was recorded in the genealogy under the joint names of Dugu Ji, Dugu Yanshou and other nephews of the Great Tang Empress Dugu Jialan.

Therefore, Dugu Lanruo is Dugu Xiude's younger sister in name, but she is also the princess of the Tang royal family, and the Tang clan records that she is the daughter of the Tang emperor Li Yuan.The registered name is Dugu's, and the surname is Li, Li Lanruo.

After the female croupier finished explaining the rules, she put the cards on the table: "My lords, who will check the cards. If there is no problem with the cards, please set a salary. There will only be one winner at this table, and the winner will get seven." Total salary per person, a fair one, neither loses nor wins."

"How about [-] yuan? It's the first time for everyone to play, so let's get acquainted first." When Li Bi was speaking, he only looked at Dugu Xiude. Of the nine people sitting here, four were veteran nobles, and two were princes. government people.

Among the people in the Prince's Mansion was Dou Shikuan, a gambler who saw the new way of playing and couldn't walk.

The other three were Li Bi, Dugu Xiude, and Yuchi Baolin.

"Ten thousand dollars, good, good." Dou Shikuan said two good things in succession.

He was in a tight financial situation right now, last time Cui Yiye gave him a box of money, but how many copper coins could there be in a box, it was only [-] yuan.

Cui Yiye blocked Dou Shikuan with a folding fan, signaling Dou Shikuan not to speak.Then point the folding fan at Li Bi.

With this finger, Li Bi's anger immediately flared up.

It’s true that you, Cui Yiye, are from a famous family, but I, Li Bi, also have merit, so you are a bird.

But I heard Cui Yiye say: "Ten thousand yuan is just the money for me to have a cup of tea with my friends. This kind of remuneration can't arouse my interest."

"Cui..." Dou Shikuan said that he only had [-] yuan, and the bet was too big and he couldn't play a few rounds.

So Dou Shikuan wanted to ask Cui Yiye to accept the [-] yuan game.

[-] renminbi is actually a lot. If it is exchanged for rice, and it is good rice, it can be exchanged for more than [-] dans, which is enough for an ordinary family to eat for a year.

"Brother Dou." Cui Yiye stopped what Dou Shikuan was about to say.

"Ten thousand and one million dollars." Li Bi gently put his small wine bottle on the table: "Ten thousand dollars is for entertainment with everyone. One million dollars is because I think that Mr. Cui is not pleasing to the eye." , Single bet. If Mr. Cui still thinks it’s too small, let’s bet gold, how about a game of a hundred gold?”

Hahaha……

Cui Yiye was about to laugh out loud, but his laughter hit his throat.

The four relatives around Li Bi carried out two boxes, and opened the boxes beside Li Bi, the gold was very dazzling under the candlelight.

"Mu, I know that you ordered a batch of raw silk in the West Market, and shipped 1000 million yuan to your eldest brother-in-law's house." Li Bi said to Liu Mu again.

Liu Mu scratched his hair and nodded: "Well, if you use it, just ask someone to pull it."

After receiving Liu Mu's response, Li Bi looked at Cui Yiye: "Young Master Cui, do you want to raise?"

"Could it be a trap, [-] is fine." Cui Yiye gently placed the folding fan on the table and bowed to everyone present.

Except for Li Bi, everyone gave Cui Yiye this face.

"Let's deal the cards. The last round of wine was invited by me." Li Bi signaled his followers to carry away the big box containing the gold.

[-] yuan, as people like them, they just need to talk about it.

It can be said that the top aristocrats don't touch the coins, and the settlement of the coins is a matter for their followers.

"My lords, tell me the rules again."

The female dealer repeated the key points of the rules again, and then began to deal the cards.

(Note, just refer to Texas Hold’em for the rules. Just replace A, J, Q, and K with Fu, Shou, Lu, and Xi.)
Liu Mu only looked at it for a while and then left.

Because Liu Mu never thought of cheating in this game, and Li Bi never thought of cheating at all. Li Bi had the pride of a rising aristocrat.

As soon as Liu Mu left, he was blocked by Peng Hai at the door.

Peng Hai hooked his fingers at Liu Mu, turned around and walked out, asked for a small room in the west building, and asked someone to arrange some food and wine.

"You're old, what's the matter?" Liu Mu entered the room and closed the door gently.

Peng Hai pointed to the cushion in front of him: "It's nothing serious, let's have a chat with you."

Liu Mu patted his chest: "But your old expression makes me very nervous, look at my heart beating suddenly."

"sit."

Liu Mu sat down as promised.

Peng Hai personally poured a glass of wine for Liu Mu: "The mirror is a trivial matter. Although you are a little flamboyant, you are still a pretty good baby. Since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the sage has strictly disciplined himself and never had any extravagant things. This mirror, you really make all the noble ladies in Chang'an yearn for it."

"You always think that I did something wrong?" Willow asked in a low voice.

"It's not wrong, that's right, the saint drank the wine you offered ten days ago, and asked the miscellaneous family to ask you, what reward do you want?" Peng Hai didn't mention the mirror anymore, but mentioned the wine.

Liu Mu didn't answer in a hurry, he picked up the wine bottle and served it to Peng Haiman: "Let's talk about rewards first, Xiaomin heard that there are some foreign guests from Chang'an City."

"A foreign country?" Peng Hai was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed: "In Chang'an City, there are too many merchants from foreign countries to count."

"People from the Three Kingdoms of the Peninsula." Liu Mu went straight to the point.

"Continue." Peng Hai liked to listen to Liu Mu's thoughts, so he signaled Liu Mu to speak boldly.

"That small box mirror, the box is actually more expensive than the mirror. The cheapest box is also made of yellow sandalwood. It takes a good carpenter a day or two to carve it. The most expensive box is made of ivory... No, the most expensive It’s from a giant clam, I didn’t dare to take that thing out, the box is absolutely sky-high.”

Peng Hai heard the smell, but Liu Mu told a very interesting thing.

"Xiaomin also made a kind of shell made of copper, and then covered with gold and colored stones. It is a stone, a beautiful stone, definitely not a gem. There are also pure stones that are polished, and then the lens is set in. This is the fee Labor, but labor is not very valuable, eating three meals of meat a day, plus ten times the reward, is not much."

After Liu Mu finished speaking, he smiled cheerfully.

Peng Hai patted the case lightly: "Okay, very good."

Peng Hai asked again: "Then, let's talk about rewards again. What kind of rewards do you want?"
