General, please stay

Chapter 227 Lost Money

The queen mother laughed loudly and said: "If you can win as much as you want, I will let you take as much as you want. The Ai family is not such a stingy person."

Concubine Su said: "It turns out that the princess is planning to win money!"

Qigui smiled embarrassedly.

But she was thinking in her heart, these women gambled so much, she still had to live at home, so don't export Yan Junhang's old background.

The table is set and the ducks have to be put on the shelves.Qigui has no way out.

If he really wanted to sit down, Qi Gui would sit in the next house of the Empress Dowager, and across from him would be Concubine Su.

She really doesn't know how to play cards very well. After drawing the cards, it took a long time to sort them out.Fortunately, the queen mother was not in a hurry, Song Taipin would say a few funny words from time to time to cheer her on.

"Chess returns to the princess, Master Thirteen still lives in your house?" Song Taibi lived in the palace for a long time, and had no source of gossip, so she told old news as soon as she uttered it.

Chess Gui frowned and thought bitterly while pulling at the tiles, and casually said: "That's right, the Marquis Fu's Mansion hasn't been repaired yet."

Song Taipin laughed and said, "The tenth master and the thirteenth master have such a good relationship."

"We've been together since we were young, so the relationship is naturally good." Qi Hui still bowed his head to study the cards.

Song Taipin said gossip again: "Then I heard that Thirteenth Lord likes the young master in your mansion, and he takes it with him everywhere he goes. He also said that when the young master grows up, if Thirteenth Master wants to For a dowry."

Qi Gui said: "That is the blessing of our Guoguo."

Concubine Su said with a smile: "That child Guoguo is indeed a pain in the ass."

Song Taipin said: "I heard that this year is not too young. In a few years, I will reach my age. I don't know what kind of scene it is. Princess, you are really lucky."

Only then did Qi Gui hear something was wrong.

She smiled and said: "My concubine, Guoguo is still a child. I want to stay for a few more years and help me with housework. At that time, I will have to ask my concubine to come and give Guoguo a wedding ceremony."

She turned the topic to Guoguo's wedding ceremony.

Grand Concubine Su was overjoyed when she heard this, and said: "It just so happens that I have a hairpin, which I used when I was in Jiji, and I will bring it as a gift to Guoguo when the time comes."

Hearing this, Qi Gui was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Ms. Taifei, how dare you be..."

The queen mother played a card, glanced at her, and said: "What is there not to be? Although Guoguo is not your own, it is also the imperial title of the Lord of Marquis Wu's mansion, and is our king's close cousin. Su Niang likes it, and Aijia also likes it. It's a pity that you didn't invite Aijia to give her a funeral ceremony. Otherwise, Aijia's gift would be even bigger!"

Chess return immediately sweating profusely, who dares to ask you to go back to do Jiji ceremony?

But the empress dowager was so annoyed, Qi Gui was a little embarrassed, and after sweating for a long time, he said: "Then, the concubine sees that the mother is usually busy with everything... I dare not say this..."

Empress Dowager Yan was in a daze, she was in a good mood, laughed loudly, and said: "The Ai family is just kidding you. Su Niang just go, and bring the gift for the Ai family."

Qigui took out the money with a bitter face, and called Lily who was by his side to go back and get the money.

Unwilling to be lonely, Song Taipin said: "How many years are there for this young master and Ji?"

Qi Gui said: "This year is eleven."

"Isn't that still early? Who knows what will happen then." Song Taipin laughed.

Qi Gui glanced at her and said, "Yes, it's still early."

The Empress Dowager Yan is not happy, and she has some opinions on Yan Junxing and the brothers when she is in court today, so she specially wants to keep Qi Gui to kill them.But she has no problem with Guoguo.

"Song Niang, according to your opinion, after these few years of hard work, Guoguo can still disappear?"

Song Taipin originally thought that the Weng Lord of Yeluzi had not had a good reputation before.Now it is only because of the love of Princess Zhao and Yan Junming's favor that she gradually becomes honorable.In this capital city, the Marquis's family has quite a few worthless biological daughters, and there are a lot of concubine daughters thrown away. Who would take a righteous daughter seriously.

These 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi.No one really knows what will happen to a foster daughter after a few years.

That's what she thought, and that's what she said, but she didn't expect to be upset by recruiting Queen Mother Yan.

She hastily smiled and said: "Madam, the concubine just said whatever came to her mind."

Empress Dowager Yan said: "If you are really too busy to panic, you can take the little princess back and watch for yourself, so as to save you from running around all day long. Listen to what others say."

How can that work!She is a concubine without any foundation, the little princess followed her, and followed the queen mother, how could it be the same!
Song Taipin cursed secretly in her heart, thinking that the little princess is the blood of the former king, so she is noble no matter what.Of course it is better than that Ye Luzi's Lord Weng.

But with the empress dowager's attitude, Song Taipin had no choice but to give in, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you also know that the concubine is still a child, so how can I take care of the little princess well? Aren't you ashamed of the former king?"

He also courteously said to Qigui: "How can a concubine compare to Princess Qigui? Wuhou's mansion is famous for its loving mothers and daughters. Many people in this capital will praise Lord Jingping when they talk about it." It's the first half of the day."

Empress Dowager Yan snorted, and returned to the game again.

Qi Gui's hand trembled, and he even sent out the whole hundred taels of silver, his heart was bleeding immediately, he didn't care about Song Tai Concubine, and looked at Su Taigui Concubine for help.

Grand Concubine Su coughed lightly, pretending not to see it.I thought to myself that if you lose everything today, there is nothing you can do about it.

Empress Dowager Yan blushed, laughed loudly, and said: "Didn't you say you can win in the little girl's film? Come on, I will win one and show the Ai family."

Chess Gui had a bitter face and said: "Madam, I didn't even see the cards clearly, so I already lost. I shouldn't be talking nonsense. Is it okay if I make a mistake? I really don't know how to play cards."

Empress Dowager Yan glanced at her sideways, and said: "That's impossible, Ai's family is interested today, why, you don't even want to play cards with Ai's family?"

Qi Gui murmured: "The concubine just received a month's salary, and I have already lost all of it..."

She didn't know how to play cards, and the other two obviously helped the Queen Mother.Isn't this just plain bullying?

The Empress Dowager Yan said: "Hey, you have no money, your husband has money. What is the man's money used for? Isn't it used to play cards for women to lose? Don't be stingy, just play with us, and you can lose a lot. Old Ten's family property."

After playing a few more games, I lost so much that tears were about to fall.Later, it was Concubine Su, who saw how pitiful she was, and put a handful of water on her to give her a small win.At that time, she had already exported a thousand taels of silver, and winning that hand... was only ten taels.

Empress Dowager Yan felt that it was almost done, she asked someone to close the game, drank tea in a good mood, and then asked Qigui, "Why did you come to the palace today? Why didn't I see you bring Guoguo? "

Qi Gui has already lost so much that he is dumbfounded, fidgeting, thinking about how to explain to Yan Junxing when he goes back.Hearing the Queen Mother's question, he was no longer as alert as before. After staying for a while, he said: "It's nothing... just came to say hello to the empress."

Empress Dowager Yan muttered, "Didn't you forget?"

Chess Gui weeps.

Empress Dowager Yan was very angry and funny, and said: "Look at how promising you are! Then go back first, and come back when you think about it!"

Qi Gui bowed his head, thanked him, and left.

Seeing her like this, Empress Dowager Yan suddenly felt that she had bullied a child.He cast a sideways glance at Concubine Su Taigui next to him, and said, "Why, do you also feel that the Ai family bullied her?"

Concubine Su Taigui muttered, "That's not true, the concubine is so pitiful even looking at the princess..."

Empress Dowager Yan laughed loudly and said: "If she is not happy, let her go back and torture Xiao Shi to death!"

Grand Concubine Su also laughed, and then said: "Your Majesty, don't blame the concubine for feeding her cards. It's just that the concubine knows that Marquis Wu's mansion really doesn't have that much money to lose. When she plays, it's just Losing the expenses of Marquis Wu's mansion for more than half a year, I should be so distressed."

Empress Dowager Yan was a little surprised: "You just lost a thousand taels of silver?"

This number is not small, but it is not large.The status of Marquis Wu is the regent, and he is also in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, so he can't afford to lose even this little money, right?

Concubine Su Taigui said softly: "Have you forgotten? Last time, after the military aircraft mansion was burned, although Shangwuju was saved, but after counting it, Lord Hou also really has no family background. The concubine knows that the concubine's natal family, Jin Bo's mansion The annual expenses are around 3000 taels. And Marquis Wu’s mansion has less entertainment and communication, so about 2000 taels is about the same.”

Empress Dowager Yan said: "There are three thousand households in the city... how can they be so poor."

Concubine Su covered her mouth and said with a smile: "It's really not rich."

Empress Dowager Yan: "..."

Marquis Wu's Mansion.

When Yan Junxing came back at night, he found that the lights in his room were still on, and there were a large group of nuns and maids standing outside the door, all of them looked panic-stricken.

He was stunned, and asked Lily: "What's the matter?"

Lily hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "The princess enters the palace today to greet the empress dowager. The empress is interested and asks the princess to play cards. The princess doesn't know how to play cards, so she lost a lot of money. Right now, it's..."

"..." That's too bad, that stingy girl lost so much, shouldn't she be mad?

"Are you mad?"

Lily's expression was a little strange, and she said, "You'd better go and see for yourself."

Yan Junxing coughed lightly and pushed open the door, only to smell a familiar smell.It's beggar chicken.This girl stopped eating these things after she got fat after giving birth.Why did you eat it again?

"Chess return?"

As soon as he stepped over the threshold, he was startled.Qi Gui lit a candle, and the table was full of dishes in front of him, all of which had become leftovers, a mess.She still held a chicken leg in her hand, and stuffed it into her mouth desperately, her cheeks were bulging, her eyes were staring, and her eye sockets were also red.

"How much have you eaten! Stop it, it's time to break!" Yan Junxing suddenly had a headache, and hurried to grab the chicken leg in her hand.

Qigui's chicken legs were snatched away by him, and he spat out the contents of his mouth, and suddenly went crazy: "Bullying, it's obvious that it's bullying, bullying!"

She was talking about the Empress Dowager Yan.

When Yan Junxing was grabbed by her with oily hands, his face turned dark immediately, and he had no choice but to let her rub it clean on him.Then he dragged a stool to sit in front of her, and said, "What's going on? Why did you run into the palace and be slaughtered?"

Qigui said aggrievedly: "I, I just went into the palace to see Puyu and Si'er... Who knew that the Empress Dowager suddenly wanted to play cards. The three of them beat me one, and I lost a thousand taels of silver!"

Yan Junxing stared at her, and said: "Nonsense, you didn't bring Guoguo into the palace, and you specially picked the time to go to court. What are you going to do in the palace?"
