Pretending to be jealous in the arms of Dali Temple

Chapter 184 There is no fairness in the world

When the cool breeze blows, the mountains are red all over, the sweet-scented osmanthus in the capital is fragrant, and the ginkgo is swaying.

In the bleak autumn wind, the luxuriant cypress tree in Dali Temple turned green, and the magpies hid in the branches of the tree and flew out of their nests, flying straight into the sky.

Wan Yan stood under the tree, looked up, doubts flashed in her bright eyes.

Standing by the window, Su Jizhi accidentally raised his eyes and saw this scene.

The little girl in a dark red riding suit held her head up halfway, biting her lower lip, with the corners of her lips slightly raised.

She showed her neat and white teeth, and her forehead was smooth, which was the place he often couldn't help but touch with love.

The little girl clenched her slender hands, her body undulating, Su Jizhi curled her mouth.

"Wan Yan Painter!"

The little girl turned her head, blinked, and ran to the window, "My lord, what's the job of calling me a painter?"

The two stood across the window, Su Jizhi raised his hand to brush Wanyan's beautiful hair, "I've been watching you for a long time, what are you doing?"

Wan Yan's eyes showed doubts, "It's already autumn, and I see fresh green in the cypress trees, it's really strange."

Su Jizhi shook the scroll in his hand, and leaned his arms on the window lattice, "Everything in the world is full of wonders, maybe this place is warmer than other places, hidden in the leaves, and the sun is shining, wait a few days and see, after the snow falls If the fresh green is still there, it is fresh."

Wan Yan leaned on the window lattice and approached Su Jizhi, "My lord, it's so boring to go to the Dali Temple. I want to go back to our calligraphy and painting studio. What do you think is wrong with the emperor's reward? You insist on rewarding me as an official, what kind of painter in Dali Temple? It’s good to have our calligraphy and painting studio.”

The little girl pouted and complained, Su Jizhi tapped her forehead with a scroll, "Silly girl, the hundred taels of gold rewarded by the emperor is not enough for your calligraphy and painting studio to make a living for a year?"

"That's different." Wan Yan also smiled when she thought about the hundred taels of gold in the wooden box in the study, "Well, listen to your lord, when there was no case, Dali Siqing had nothing to do. Take the salary."

Su Jizhi staggered and looked at the little girl, his almond eyes widened at the moment, as if he was very incompetent as the Minister of Dali Temple.

He shook his head and smiled, "Let's not talk about me first, you are now a sixth-rank official, if you walk around the capital, who will not call you painter Xue when they see you?"

Wan Yan lowered her eyes, not to mention, having an official position in her body, it really feels different, even this dark red riding suit was authorized by the emperor to let her be the official uniform.

"Then I'm bored too."

"Come in and paint when you're bored. If you have time, you can think about your business with Mrs. Yang. Now that life in the mansion has improved, you still have the important task of supporting your family."

Su Ji was serious, and Wan Yan chuckled.

"My lord, you are good or bad. The emperor rewarded so many things and even gave me an official. I know, it's all because of my lord. What about raising a lord? The emperor has already used my hand to give all the things that should be given to my lord." gone."

Su Jizhi rolled his eyes coldly, pretending to be surprised, "Really? There is such a thing? I think Miss Wanyan deserves it all."

The little girl pouted and saw the scroll in Su Jizhi's hand, "What are you looking at? Why are there so many stone paintings?"

Su Jizhi smiled, imitating Wan Yan's tone, "It's just a stone, but you can knock out emerald and jade. If you can get what you want, it's really luck."

Wan Yan became more and more curious, "What's going on? Tell me quickly."

As he spoke, his little head came closer, and Su Jizhi deliberately raised the scroll and hooked his fingers, "I'm telling you, come on, don't let more people know about this kind of thing, come here with your ears."

Wan Yan obediently attached her ear, and dropped a kiss on the cheek.

"My lord!" Wan Yan protested, and quickly looked around. Fortunately, all the officials of Dali Temple were in the front yard.

No matter when the little girl was attacked by surprise, her face turned red, and she used this set of excuses.

Su Jizhi laughed out loud.

Enough laughing, Su Jizhi raised the invitation in his hand, "Stone gambling is popular in the capital recently, and the director of the household department gave me an admission ticket, do you want to go and have a look?"

The little girl's eyes were rounded, and the eyes were shining brightly, full of curiosity, "What is that? Betting on stones? What are you betting on?"

"So I'm trying to improve knowledge. Daqi has a vast territory, and many landforms are different from the capital. If we have the opportunity, we should really look around. You see, it is recorded in the book that Daqi's Southwest Wacheng is rich in jade."

Wan Yan listened carefully.

"Rough jadeite has been weathered by wind and rain, and the real jadeite is hidden in it. Many people can't see it, so betting on stones is equivalent to betting on whether there is jade in the stone. Emeralds are valuable, and betting on stones is even more expensive. People in this industry are willing to take this risk."

"It's almost like gambling."

"There is also a difference. Gambling with stones tests one's eyesight and ability. Even those who have been in the industry for decades will sometimes miss it, but once they are right, the money in their pockets will immediately swell."

Wan Yan was shocked, "My lord also wants to bet on stones?"

Su Jizhi stuffed the invitation into Wan Yan's hand, "I don't have any money, isn't all my money in your hands?"

The little girl smiled, "Then shall we go and have a look?"

"Go and see, you must participate in and understand everything in the world, even if you are not proficient, you must understand a thing or two."

Wan Yan opened the invitation card, which read: Yicuifang, Youshi, welcome to visit you.

"My lord, it seems that not everyone can go to this place."

"Of course, profit dictates it. I've heard that there are at least a hundred or two stone bets. When you meet a sought-after or rough stone that everyone is optimistic about, you will ask for a lot of money. If you don't have anything in your pocket, like me, I will never go to such a place."

"Looking at it this way, isn't the chance of getting jade from the rough stone only half?"

Su Jizhi nodded, "So people's hearts are very strange. I calculated it this way. Once out of ten times, the previous efforts will be rewarded. This is also the reason why many people go bankrupt and gamble. If you really see it right, let alone a thousand taels, Wan Liang is here."

"That's not right, where did the rough stone come from? What if the people in the organization do something?"

Su Jizhi smiled and appreciated it sincerely, "My little girl, if you can think of this, I really want to take you to see the stone gambling scene."

Wan Yan accepted the compliment and was happy, "It seems that there are many ways to do it here, and it's hard to say who is the one who really benefits."

Su Jizhi nodded resolutely, "That's why you need an invitation card to let you go. I estimate that after one game, Yicui Fang will have tens of thousands of taels of silver in and out."

Wan Yan clicked her tongue, "Is there no one in the court? This is similar to a gambling house."

"The Ministry of Finance is in charge. I don't know the way in the middle, but I'm sure that the Ministry of Finance is also turning a blind eye."

Wan Yan was not reconciled, "I thought about the past in Jiaofang Division, we girls were demoted to official prostitutes and had no freedom, but people here spent so much money enjoying momentary pleasure."

"There is no fairness in this world."

Wan Yan didn't want to listen to Su Ji's words. She hoped that the world would be full of flowers and full moons, and that all the places where the sun shines would be sunny spring and white snow.
