Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 163 The Guests of the Clubhouse

Datang did not have mahjong, so the word "playing mahjong" seemed very strange to Zhang Sun Chong's ears, and he immediately became anxious.

"Lizhi's temperament is so soft, she doesn't seem like someone who can beat people, and it seems that no prince or princess in this palace is named Mahjong!"

Perhaps because he was too engrossed, Chang Sun Chong's voice of talking to himself suddenly became a little louder, and the hundred cavalry guards next to him immediately smiled and cupped their hands at him when they heard his words.

"My lord, you don't have to worry, this mahjong is not a person, but a game tool."

Hearing the words of the soldiers of the Hundred Cavalry Guards, Chang Sun Chong heaved a sigh of relief, but he had more doubts in his heart.

"It can make Lizhi so fascinated, this game called 'playing mahjong' must be unusual!"

In fact, Changsun Chong guessed it right. For most women, playing mahjong is still very attractive, especially for those who usually have nothing to do and spend all day in a daze in the boudoir. Women, mahjong is not so attractive.

Even the gentle and virtuous Princess Changle is no exception.

"Three!"

"Touch, a barrel!"

"Hee hee, blah!"

The rules of mahjong are very simple, so simple that the princes and princesses can start playing directly after watching it a few times. Even Li Mingda, who is only ten years old, is eager to try.

"Brother, I want to play too, I want to play too!"

Seeing her anxious appearance, Gao Ming suddenly smiled, and then took out a few small round pieces of wood from his bosom and put them in Li Mingda's hands.

"Just these few, if you lose, you are not allowed to play, just play chess with your brother obediently, okay?"

"it is good!"

Li Mingda agreed with a smile, and ran to find the other princesses to "start war" with the small wood chips.

The small wooden chips that Gao Ming gave to Li Mingda just now are actually casino chips that Gao Ming imitated later generations. Although these wooden chips are small in size, each one represents consistent money.

For the princes and princesses who came in just now, Gao Ming each gave them ten chips, but he didn't tell them how much the chips represented, only said that when they left, the more chips the greater the surprise.

The happy time is always short. In the afternoon, Gao Ming saw that the time was almost up, so he slapped his hands, attracting the eyes of all the princes and princesses present.

"Brothers and sisters, it's almost time, and it's time for us to go back!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, almost everyone showed a look of reluctance. After all, except for the New Year every year, there is no time when so many people get together to play.

Their expressions naturally did not escape Gao Ming's eyes, seeing this scene, Gao Ming laughed again.

"Don't be reluctant, everyone. My clubhouse is for you brothers and sisters. As long as you are free, you can come here, but there is one prerequisite, and you are not allowed to skip class!"

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Li Mingda and other younger princes and princesses, and then they laughed kindly.

Gao Ming was also laughing, he glanced around again while laughing, and then nodded.

"There are also younger sisters who are married. I heard that some younger sisters are very hot-tempered. This is not good, so as a brother, I will give you three opinions."

Having said that, Gao Ming immediately stretched out a finger.

"First, you must be filial, and you are not allowed to throw face at your parents-in-law, or people will think that we royal people don't understand the rules."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, all the princes and princesses present nodded their heads. Seeing that everyone nodded, Gao Ming stretched out his second finger.

"Second, you must be specific, and you can't cuckold your husband, otherwise, will the daughter of our old Li's family marry in the future?"

As soon as Gao Ming said this, the princes present all burst into laughter, the princesses also blushed and covered their mouths and sniggered, even Li Lizhi shook her head with a smile on her face.

"This emperor brother really dares to say anything!"

Seeing everyone laughing, Gao Ming coughed dryly twice.

"Ahem... Let's talk about business, everyone, be more serious!"

As soon as Gao Ming said this, the surroundings were silent for a while, but in an instant, louder laughter erupted from the surroundings, especially Li Mingda and the other little princess, who were already laughing so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs.

When everyone was almost laughing, Gao Ming stretched out his third finger towards them.

"The third and last point, sisters, if your husband is making a mistake, you have to save face for him. Even if you want to beat him, you can only beat him at home, and you are not allowed to beat him in the face, let alone use weapons. That's it, I'm done talking, remember to go to the counter at the door to exchange chips before you leave."

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, there was a burst of cheers from all around.

"Long live the emperor, the emperor is the best!"

"I'm coming again tomorrow!"

"Me too, me too..."

And when everyone knew that those round pieces of wood that Gao Ming gave before could be exchanged for money, the cheers immediately rose several levels.

This kind of place where they can get together with their brothers and sisters, play happily, and have money when they leave, they like it the most!
Little Lolita, who has been holding hands with Li Mingda, is the happiest, because she has the most chips, more than 50, and almost half of the prince and princess's chips are concentrated in her hands. When she exchanged from the counter to 50 When she was two silver coins, her eyes were smiling like crescent moons.

"Brother Prince is the best!"

After saying that, she threw herself directly into Gao Ming's arms, rubbing against Gao Ming's arms like a kitten.

Seeing this scene, Li Mingda was immediately unhappy.While stretching out his hand to grab her, he cried out.

"Sister Seventeen, don't lie in Big Brother's arms. There are so many people watching, I'm ashamed!"

But this little girl didn't mean to be shy at all, instead she laughed.

"Hee hee hee hee... I don't care, besides, Nineteenth Sister, you are completely dependent on the prince's brother's East Palace, so you are shy."

Hearing her words, Li Mingda immediately pouted.

"Sister Seventeen is the worst, Sizi won't play with you anymore!"

Seeing the awkward Li Mingda, Gao Ming couldn't laugh or cry.

"Okay, okay, Xiao Shiqi, don't bully Sizi anymore, by the way, what's your title?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, the little girl who was called Seventeenth Sister by Li Mingda immediately raised her head and looked at Gao Ming in surprise.

"I've heard that the prince's elder brother forgot everything after he fell ill. I didn't expect it to be true. Prince's elder brother, my title is Gao Yang. Do you remember?"

Gao Yang?

Hearing this name, Gao Ming's eyes widened when he saw this cute loli who was only 13 years old at most.

"You are Princess Gaoyang?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Gao Yang nodded immediately.

"Yes, I am Gao Yang, the prince brother seems very surprised!"

Seeing Gao Yang's puzzled expression, Gao Ming finally came to his senses, and held her little head with both hands with a serious face.

"Gao Yang, elder brother watched the stars last night and learned that you were destined for a catastrophe. If you meet a monk named Bianji in the future, you must tell elder brother immediately, otherwise your life will be in danger!"

In fact, Gao Ming was not alarmist. According to historical records, Princess Gaoyang's rebellion had a lot to do with Monk Bianji, so Gao Ming must nip this matter in the bud.

Seeing Gao Ming being so serious, Gao Yang immediately nodded his head.

"Brother Prince, I know, I must tell Brother Prince when I see this person in the future!"

Hearing her words, Gao Ming touched her little head in satisfaction.

"Good boy!"

After being praised by Gao Ming, Gao Yang suddenly smiled so much that he narrowed his eyes, looking very cute.

At this time, the people in the royal clubhouse were basically gone. After Gao Ming ordered a few people to clean up, he led Gao Yang and Li Mingda out of the clubhouse, then boarded the carriage and returned to the palace.

For Gao Ming, the "trial opening" of the royal clubhouse on this day was still very successful. Since the most picky princes and princesses could be satisfied, there would definitely be no problem entertaining other people.

Gao Ming's guess was undoubtedly very correct. When he came to the Datang Royal Club again at noon the next day, he heard hearty laughter coming from inside.

"Hahahaha, this wine tastes really exciting, this is the wine that men drink, hahahaha..."

Hearing this familiar loud laughter, Gao Ming knew who it was without entering the door—in the entire Chang'an city, who else could have such a loud voice besides Cheng Yaojin?
Thinking of this, Gao Ming walked in while shaking his head. The moment he entered the door, he immediately saw Cheng Yaojin who was drinking with Li Ji in his arms.

At this moment, Cheng Yaojin also saw Gao Ming who pushed the door open, and he laughed even louder.

"Wahhahaha, the crown prince came just in time, come and have a drink with my old Cheng!"

Hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, Gao Ming also laughed.

"Uncle Cheng, my wine is palace jade wine, one hundred cents a cup, do you really want to invite me to drink?"

Seeing Gao Ming's half-smile, Cheng Yaojin immediately slapped his thigh.

"His Royal Highness is so unhappy. I didn't talk to you about the money when you drank at my house, but now you want to ask me for money? That's all, anyway, you still owe me Lao Cheng, the money for the wine Just put it on the account, and I have this tiger and crane card, don't forget to give me this five...five..."

Seeing Cheng Yaojin stuttering all of a sudden, a laugh came from beside him.

"It's [-]% off. I told you to read more books but you didn't listen. Now it's a shame!"

Hearing this voice, Gao Ming looked back, and immediately realized that it was Changsun Wuji who came. After he came, he cupped his hands towards Gao Ming.

"His Royal Highness, the old minister heard Princess Changle mention this Tang Dynasty royal clubhouse yesterday, and after seeing it today, it is indeed very unique, especially this court imperial tea, which is really amazing!"

Datang’s tea leaves are directly dried after being picked, and boiled in water when eaten, while Gao Ming’s tea leaves are roasted and then brewed with boiling water. Naturally, the taste is different.

Now hearing Changsun Wuji praise fried tea like this, Gao Ming immediately laughed.

"Since uncle likes it, when you go back, I'll ask someone to pack you two taels. If uncle wants more, it's okay. One tael of tea leaves is always the same. If uncle has a Tiger Crane card, you can play five taels." fold!"

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, Changsun Wuji immediately took out a silver plaque from his pocket.

"I have a brand, bring me two catties of royal tea!"

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming laughed even more happily.
