Chapter 78 The Impossible Chance
Chapter 78 The Impossible Chance
Li Huizhi went back to the room and asked the maid to turn on the light.
She sat under the lamp, staring at the earring tightly, without taking her eyes off it.
"This earring, does it seem familiar?"
Li Huizhi used the thin tip of the hairpin to lift some of the silver ornaments on the earrings, she squinted her eyes and saw the sign of the Silver Building in an inconspicuous place.
This is something from Yinfenglou.
Like this kind of big silver building, the high-quality goods produced are all made by old craftsmen according to the requirements of customers, which is unique.
So whose stuff it is, it's not hard to know.
Li Huizhi narrowed her eyes and put away the earring.
"It turns out that brother has someone hidden in his heart?"
If she finds out who the brother is hiding in his heart, will she have another reason to blackmail him in the future?
Li Huizhi frowned again.
Her elder brother is the King of Yue, unlike her unfavorable princess, the Holy One still thinks highly of her elder brother.
If elder brother likes someone, why not ask him to marry him?Still need to sneak around and hide?
Li Huizhi's expression became more and more excited. It seems that the owner of this earring is not ordinary?
-
Liang Sheng picked an auspicious day for the zodiac.
Wufangzhai opened its grand opening amidst the sound of crackling firecrackers.
On the opening day, Wufangzhai launched dozens of baked dim sum, served with Lushan Yunwu tea brought from Yuzhang County.
Anyone who enters the store and eats tea with dim sum will get a box of dim sum when they leave.
Wufangzhai had just opened, and the smell of baked dim sum attracted many people.
But the dim sum is very expensive.
There are many inquiries, but there are very few people who sit down to eat.
The few students who were waiting for customers in the store were a little anxious, but the shopkeeper was as steady as Mount Tai, not panicking at all.
In the stove in the back kitchen, snacks are constantly being baked, and the fragrance is so wafting that it can be smelled across several streets.
"Delicious! Really delicious!" The guest officer, who could afford it, was sitting in the extremely well-decorated hall of Wufangzhai, nodding his thumbs up.
People in Chang'an at that time had never eaten this kind of baked dim sum. Dim sum made with ghee, fine white sugar, and fine flour was delicious.
And the snacks at this time are either boiled or fried.
The fried ones are too greasy, and the steamed ones are too light.
The dim sum baked in this special oven is not only less greasy, but also crunchy and soft, with a strong aroma.
Doesn't it just satisfy the gluttonous soul of Chang'an people?
Those who have eaten dim sum in the store will get a portion for nothing to take away.
The snacks that were taken away were in the hands of the children at home.
Where has the child eaten such delicious snacks?A box was eaten up in no time.
The older ones know how to be reserved, while the younger ones just opened their mouths and cried, "I still want to eat, I still want to eat..."
As a parent, I love to eat, so I can't bear to watch my child suffer this grievance.Immediately sent the servants to Wufangzhai to buy again.
Unexpectedly, those who came after noon were told, "No more, please be early tomorrow!"
The child cried at home and screamed.
The family members had no choice but to coax the child with great difficulty, so they had to tell the servants to buy some back tomorrow morning.
In the early morning of the next day, Wufangzhai hadn't even opened yet, and there was already a lineup outside the store, and there were quite a few people waiting.
Smelling bursts of fragrance wafting from the closed Wufangzhai, the servants waiting outside just sucked in their saliva.
It was so easy to wait until the inside was ready, and finally opened the door.
The servants immediately rushed forward.
Chen Miaomiao got up early in the morning, baked dim sum in three big ovens, and it was sold out in the blink of an eye.
Before noon on the second day, Wufangzhai's dim sum was sold out.
Within three days, Wufangzhai's reputation had already spread throughout Chang'an City, a gluttonous area.
Wufangzhai's dim sum is very expensive.
But there has never been a shortage of famous people in Chang'an City.
Wufangzhai's Lushan Yunwu tea is slightly bitter, with a hint of sweetness in the bitterness. It tastes very good with the baked snacks.
But Yunwu tea is also expensive!
Wufangzhai is exquisitely decorated, very high-grade.Each private room has a different style.
The name is also elegant.
But there is an extra charge in the private room, a word, it is also expensive!
However, Wufangzhai, where everything is expensive, has become a place of longing for celebrities in Chang'an City.
If you meet an acquaintance on the street, they will ask, "Have you eaten the dim sum at Wufangzhai?"
The man said he didn't eat it and didn't buy it.Then it would appear that this person is incapable.
If you invite someone to discuss business or ask someone to do something, you say, "I have reserved a private room in Wufangzhai, let's go, let's chat while eating."
That beer has face, why?Because it is expensive!
It is said that in some private rooms, there are not only freshly baked snacks, tea made by tea doctors with superb tea skills, but also fruits that cannot be seen in the north.
The fruits are all from the south, and some fruits cannot be bought even with gold in the East City.
The fruits of Wufangzhai are not for sale, but are provided free of charge to those who use the elegant room.
This shows the status, status and respect!
Xiao Yuzhuo, the manager of Wufangzhai, didn't worry about it.
Everything was arranged by Liang Sheng.
She is just a boss, sitting back and enjoying the benefits, just waiting to collect the money.
Oh no, she doesn't even use money.
All her money belongs to Mei Xiang.
Mei Xiang smiled and narrowed her eyes, "Mr. Liang is so amazing! It's only been less than half a month, and he's already earned [-] guan!"
She covered her mouth, giggling like a mouse that stole honey.
Ju Xiang glanced at her, "Isn't it time for you to find everything about Shopkeeper Liang not pleasing to your eyes?"
"At that time, I was afraid that he would profit from it. People can only be trusted after getting along with each other, right?" Mei Xiang nodded her account book, smiling from ear to ear.
Xiao Yuzhuo's expression was indifferent.
Five thousand is a lot, but it's not as good as when she was the princess.
At that time, she spent money lavishly, even if she dumped it on Wei Qilang's concubine Baihe, she would get ten thousand guan in one swing of her hands.
"Excluding manpower and material resources, five thousand guan is nothing." Xiao Yuzhuo smiled, "But Mei Xiang is right, the most important thing this time is to let us and Liang Sheng Wei Ziwu get to know each other better, and we can work together in the future. It's more reassuring."
"What plans does the lady have next?" Mei Xiang asked excitedly.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled, "Next..."
"Lady, Princess Nanping is here!" A little maid said outside the door.
"Princess Nanping hasn't been here for a long time since the eldest princess frightened her away!" Mei Xiang said.
Ju Xiang followed suit and nodded again and again, and looked at Xiao Yuzhuo worriedly, "The lady is pregnant now, but she didn't say anything about it, if she is not serious..."
Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head, "Don't worry, I will pay attention."
She stood up to greet him.
Princess Nanping has already strode into the courtyard.
"My good cousin, see what I brought you?" Princess Nanping strode forward with a box of Wufangzhai's dim sum as if offering treasures.
"Hey, isn't this the dim sum from the newly opened Wufangzhai in Chang'an City?" Mei Xiang exaggeratedly yelled.
"Isn't it?" Princess Nanping nodded proudly, "I asked my servants to line up to buy it early in the morning! That Wufangzhai was very domineering, and after selling a certain amount, I said it would be reserved for the distinguished guests in the private room." Yes, I went late, and I couldn’t even buy it! Are you saying you’re annoying?”
Mei Xiang suppressed a smile, her face flushed red.
"Look, you girl is greedy," Nan Ping pointed at her and smiled, "Your wife will run out of money later, I will give you two yuan to try!"
Mei Xiang hurriedly blessed her body to thank her, holding back her laughter until her stomach ached.
"What are you doing at home all day long?" Princess Nanping sat down, looked at the "Shui Jing Zhu" in Xiao Yuzhuo's hands, and asked suspiciously, "Don't you feel bored? I'll find you a few male pets, I don't see you asking them to serve you."
When they heard that she mentioned male favorite again, the two servant girls were shocked.
"Princess, the eldest princess taught my wife a lesson..." Mei Xiang boldly said.
Princess Nanping quickly glanced outside, "Is aunt here?"
Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head, "No, but she will never allow me to raise my face, so you better not worry about it."
Princess Nanping snorted softly, "My aunt is living a happy life, but she doesn't care about your loneliness! Alas, I am the only one who truly understands you!"
Mei Xiang couldn't help rolling her eyes.
Her wife wouldn't be so worthless, she put all her mind on that little thing!
Her wife has great ambitions!
"Princess came today, did she bring something interesting for me?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked with a smile.
Nan Ping nodded again and again, "I guess you were also detained by your aunt in another courtyard, you must have been bored long ago. Now there is a Yunding Casino in Chang'an City, which is very interesting. I will take you there to open your eyes."
Mei Xiang and Ju Xiang were terrified when they heard it, "My lady, a place like a gambling house..."
There are so many people and chaos, how can we do it?
Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head and refused, "I'm probably used to it, but I don't feel bored. Thank you Princess for your kindness."
"Yunding Gambling House is not an ordinary gambling house, it's all literary gambling, you just go and see it!" Princess Nanping pulled her.
Ju Xiang watched in horror.
"In addition to the literati, there are also many noble girls from aristocratic families who also go to play. They are elegant and tight, not as you imagined! Come on, I will take you to see, you will definitely like it if you go!" Princess Nanping couldn't help but say, pulling her away. she got up.
Xiao Yuzhuo had no choice but to agree, "Princess is very kind, respect is worse than obedience, please first."
"Cousin, what are you talking about?" Nan Ping chuckled, "Go change your riding clothes, I've already prepared a horse for you!"
horse riding?
Xiao Yuzhuo's face immediately changed.
"My wife occasionally feels the wind and cold, which is just right, and she can't ride a horse!" Mei Xiang slipped her tongue and quickly found an excuse.
Nan Ping frowned and looked at her up and down, "Why are you so weak? That's all, you can take a carriage!"
Only then did the servant girl breathe a sigh of relief, and asked Zhu Xiang in the yard to follow her.
The three maidservants carefully waited on Xiao Yuzhuo's side.
It was only after arriving at Genting Casino that they realized that they were really too nervous.
This gambling house is different from ordinary gambling houses, there is not a large group of people around a table, shouting in full swing.
Instead, private rooms with bamboo curtains and gauze curtains form a zigzag around the open and bright hall in the middle.
The back-shaped private room has three floors.
In the open hall in the middle stood a young young man, holding an arrow and aiming at an amphora five or six steps away from him.
There was also a quiver at his feet, with many feathered arrows stuck in it.
"Hey, it started early today, and someone has ended up so soon!" Princess Nanping led her directly into the private room she had made a reservation for.
The door of the private room is opened, and the gauze curtain is lowered. People outside can't see the inside clearly, but people inside can see how the people in the field are doing.
It is also convenient to place bets.
"This is the first match, lady, do you want to place a bet?" Immediately at the door, a waiter brought a pair of cards and asked with a bow.
Xiao Yuzhuo still didn't understand what was going on.
Princess Nanping asked the maids around her to change the pair of cards.
"Is this a gambling house?" Mei Xianghu questioned, "It doesn't look like it at all!"
Take the feathered arrow and throw it into the pair of ear bottles a few steps away. This game has been around since the pre-Qin period, and it is called throwing pot.
The gentry would play this game when entertaining guests at home.
Tossing the pot is evolved from the shooting ceremony, and it is an elegant activity for Confucian scholars.
Therefore, it is rare to see pots for gambling.
"There are ten arrows in a game. The person who ends up says how many arrows he can hit, and the people outside the field also bet money to guess whether he will hit or not." Princess Nanping said, "After ten arrows have been thrown, if he hits himself According to the number, the money that bet on him not to win belongs to him. The dealer doubles the compensation to the bettor. The higher the difficulty, the higher the multiplier."
Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help but nodded, "This way of playing is really elegant enough."
"I didn't lie to you, did I?" Princess Nanping smiled smugly, "Yesterday I got off and won fifty guans!"
"Fifty strings?" Mei Xiang frowned, how could Princess Nanping care about fifty strings?
"That's what I won! I won!" Princess Nanping raised her brows and said.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled and nodded, "Okay, you won. You just play, I'll take a look first."
Nanping went to place a bet, Xiao Yuzhuo was not interested in guessing people and throwing pots, but felt that the topics that a few people were discussing in the private room next door were more interesting.
The voices of those people were not low, and the doors of the two private rooms were open.
Xiao Yuzhuo listened intently, and their voices came in.
"The imperial court wants money. Where can this money come from? From the family? Will the family be willing? Maybe several families will unite... Then it will be messed up!"
"Increasing taxes? Which new emperor won't amnesty the world when he ascends to the throne? Increasing taxes is afraid that the court will be drowned by the people's saliva!"
The Holy Majesty took the throne from the former prince. Although he made a statement that "the prince is in poor health and gave up to his uncle", the name is not justified after all.
How dare he rashly increase taxes under the current situation?
It is even more impossible to extract too much money from the family.
"Let me tell you, actually, the cabinet came up with an idea for the Holy One..."
The man made a fool of himself.
Xiao Yuzhuo pricked up his ears.
The people who spoke must also be the children of the noble family.
As a businessman, the most important thing is to be informed, what new measures or new decrees the court has.
Businessmen must smell business opportunities from it, and this is the opportunity to make a fortune.
Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help standing up, walked a few steps towards the door, and listened attentively to the discussion in the next room.
The man's voice was extremely low.
She didn't hear the person say that the cabinet gave the Holy Spirit any advice, but she saw a familiar figure walking slowly towards the second floor.
"She's here too?" Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help but ask.
Mei Xiang followed her gaze and looked out, "Hey, isn't that the sixth princess?"
Holding up the hem of the skirt, following behind Xiao Er, supported by the court lady, is it not Li Huizhi, but who is it?
"Why is the sixth princess here?" Mei Xiang muttered, frowning.
Princess Nanping snorted lightly, "I asked her to come here."
Mei Xiang's face was filled with resentment immediately, and she muttered in a low voice, "Since the princess has asked her out, what is she doing with my wife?"
Xiao Yuzhuo also looked back at Princess Nanping with a cold gaze.
Nan Ping waved his hand, "Didn't you quit General Jing now? Even if she likes General Jing, she is thinking about you not wanting him. What do you care about her?"
Xiao Yuzhuo didn't make a sound, but what came to mind was the fact that she was bitten by a snake in Mingjue Temple last time.
Fortunately, what happened last time did not endanger the child in her womb, but Li Huizhi's insidiousness still left her with lingering fears.
"Don't worry, with me here, she won't hurt you!" Princess Nanping stood up and patted her on the shoulder, "What are you afraid of her doing?"
"My wife is not afraid of her." Mei Xiang said immediately.
Xiao Yuzhuo looked up at Princess Nanping, "I'm just curious. Last time at Mingjue Temple, the princess whipped her severely, did she show affection? Now you're on good terms with her again?"
Princess Nanping immediately raised her hand to her mouth, coughed a few times, and before Li Huizhi came in, she quickly whispered something in Xiao Yuzhuo's ear.
"She is very good at throwing pots in the palace, and deliberately showed her face in front of the emperor to fight for favor. Today I let her lose all her clothes!"
After speaking, she stood up straight with a triumphant smile on her face.
Xiao Yuzhuo sighed lightly and shook his head, it turned out that it was because of this fighting spirit again.
A few people in the next room started placing bets, and the conversation had already moved elsewhere.
She wanted to hear what advice the cabinet gave the Holy One to fill the treasury, but she couldn't hear it now.
She walked back inside slowly, just about to sit down.
Li Huizhi was invited in by Xiao Er.
"I've met Sister." Li Huizhi quickly smiled and saluted, with a good attitude as if facing her own sister.
She also smiled and nodded to Xiao Yuzhuo.
It seems that they have completely forgotten how one of the two men beat her with his own hands in Mingjue Temple, and the other watched her being beaten with a cold eye.
Xiao Yuzhuo also stood up, "I have seen the princess."
"This is outside the palace, cousin doesn't need to see outsiders like this." Li Huizhi said affectionately.
Xiao Yuzhuo was not polite to her, and sat by the side eating melons and fruits in silence.
"Sister, how do you plan to compare?" Li Huizhi glanced at Xiao Yuzhuo, then turned to ask Princess Nanping.
It seemed that the two of them were fighting each other, Xiao Yuzhuo thought silently, Princess Nanping knew that she and Li Huizhi would not deal with each other, so she must have pulled herself here to make her a witness, so that Li Huizhi would be more thoroughly ashamed.
As for how the two of them compare and how they gamble, I don't have to follow along.
She happily ate, waiting to see how Nanping made Li Huizhi lose everything.
"Later, the two of us will go out together, each with ten arrows, you and I will both guess whether we can hit each other, and then place a bet." Princess Nanping laughed and said slowly.
Li Huizhi smiled and nodded, "Cousin, do you want to play together?"
Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head quickly, "I won't play anymore."
"Isn't my cousin very good at throwing pots before? Why today?" Li Huizhi looked at her with raised eyebrows, quite provocatively.
Xiao Yuzhuo didn't want to be dragged into the water by her, "I'll just watch today."
"She'll just place the bet. Even the emperor praises you for your bets. Are you afraid?" Princess Nanping squinted at Li Huizhi.
Li Huizhi smiled and said nothing.
The young junior under the field quickly finished throwing ten arrows in his hands. He pressed all his arrows, and he was really lucky. Except for the dealer's commission, all the wrong bets went to him.
He smiled and clapped his hands together, took a pair of cards, and left from the field.
"Let's go." Princess Nanping stepped out of the private room.
Li Huizhi smiled, "Why are you so impatient?"
"Stop being wordy." Nan Ping didn't turn his head.
Li Huizhi had no choice but to get up, and nodded slightly to Xiao Yuzhuo, "Cousin, sit down for a while."
But the voice of Princess Nanping came from the back-shaped corridor, "Yuyu, you must press me to win!"
Xiao Yuzhuo responded with a smile, "Mei Xiang, go and exchange the right cards."
Mei Xiang took out the money bag on her body, got it to the door, and was about to call Xiao Er to change the pair of cards.
It's not that the money in the money bag is exchanged for the denomination of the right card.
Instead, there must be something in the wallet that can prove the identity of the owner.
There is no face value on the pair of cards, so how much the host wants to bet, they will report the value to the mistress, and the mistress will sing it out after recording it.
Everyone can hear it.
What if the master loses but has no money?
Isn't there something to prove the identity of the owner?Genting Casino is not a place where you come to play casually.
But anyone who runs a gambling shop has a way to make you spit out your money.
"Xiao Er, switch to the right card." Mei Xiang just called out.
A person suddenly jumped out of the corridor.
Before Mei Xiang could react, the man snatched the purse from her hand, turned around and ran away.
Mei Xiang let out a cry.
The man's attire was very similar to the attire of the waiter who traded cards in Yunding Casino.
Xiaoer who was nearby also seemed to be taken aback for a moment.
"There is a thief!" Mei Xiang shouted, pointing at the person who took the money bag.
Only then did Xiaoer come back to his senses in shock, "Stop him! He stole something from the guest!"
"What should I do, my wife's things are still inside!" Mei Xiang was anxious.
Zhuxiang frowned, "What?"
"Of course it belongs to the family!" Mei Xiang jumped anxiously.
"Take care of your wife." Zhuxiang lifted the curtain, jumped out, and flew to chase the thief.
Li Huizhi and Princess Nanping are now off the stage.
Seeing the two women end up in each private room, they felt a little vindictive, their passion was ignited, and they bet one after another.
Princess Nanping and Li Huizhi seemed to look up at their private room.
Xiao Yuzhuo's chorus of betting never came out.
Nanping waited for a while.
"Cousin doesn't seem to have figured out how to bet yet?" Li Huizhi laughed.
Nanping's face darkened, "Forget it, don't wait for her!"
"I bet on 'You Chu' and 'success', two arrows 'piercing the ear', a total of seven arrows." Li Huizhi said very confidently.
In the early days, it was the first arrow into the pot.
Lianzhong means that after the first arrow enters the pot, the second arrow also enters the pot.
Go through the ears, the pot has two ears, the arrow is not as good as the pot, and enters the ears on both sides of the pot.
Not only did she report how many arrows she could hit, but she also reported that the first two arrows must hit, and the two arrows pierced the ears, which made it more difficult.
Si Jian brought up the quiver, he was taken aback when he heard this, and then sang loudly.
When the people in the private room outside the court heard the arrogant tone of the young lady off the court, they couldn't help but get excited and raised their bets one after another.
Nanping looked at the confident Li Huizhi coldly, "Don't cry if you lose."
"Sister bet on me, or not?" Li Huizhi asked with a smile.
Nanping naturally bet on her not to win.
If she misses the shot as she said, she will pay double to the person who bet on her to lose.
Nanping narrowed his eyes and snorted.
Xiao Yuzhuo sat in the private room, waited and waited but Zhuxiang came back.
Xiao Er, who was waiting outside the private room for her to change her pair of cards, couldn't wait, and was greeted by another guest in the private room to leave.
Nanping couldn't make her bet, and after betting that Li Huizhi missed, he started the game.
Mei Xiang stood at the door, looking out suspiciously, "Why hasn't Zhu Xiang come back for so long?"
But I saw a maid hurriedly walking over from one end of the corridor.
"Is this sister Mei Xiang?" the maid asked.
Mei Xiang nodded, "I am, are you?"
"A sister asked me to deliver a message." The maid said with her head bowed.
Mei Xiang was taken aback, "But Zhu Xiang is in trouble?"
The servant girl looked a little anxious, looked around, but didn't speak.
"Come in and talk." Mei Xiang nodded at her, and stepped aside.
The servant girl entered the door, but closed the door with her backhand, and then said: "The elder sister said that someone is entangled with her, and she can't hold her back for a while."
Mei Xiang was shocked, and looked up at Xiao Yuzhuo, "Lady, this..."
Before Mei Xiang finished speaking, the maid behind her suddenly raised her hand and slashed on the back of her neck.
Before Mei Xiang fell down, she flashed behind Ju Xiang with lightning speed, and slapped down fiercely.
Twice plop.
Chrysanthemum and plum fragrance all fell to the ground.
Xiao Yuzhuo immediately shouted, "Come here—"
But the servant girl shook out a handkerchief from her sleeve, and fiercely covered Xiao Yuzhuo's mouth and nose.
Xiao Yuzhuo struggled, kicked, and bit the servant girl's hand.
The maid groaned, but endured the pain and did not let go.
Xiao Yuzhuo only felt that his consciousness was gradually blurred and his eyelids seemed to be heavy.
When she was vaguely conscious, she realized that the maid had fed her something.
She was thinking about the child in her womb, and refused to swallow anything, but the maid rubbed her throat a few times, and the thing slipped in her mouth, and she swallowed it.
The servant girl laid her flat on the couch in the private room, then slightly opened the window facing outwards a little, then stepped out of the door and closed the door facing outwards.
The doors of the rooms where bets are to be placed are all open, with only curtains hanging down.
They didn't place a bet, and even if they closed the door, they probably wouldn't arouse others' suspicion for a while.
Xiao Yuzhuo wanted to call for help, but her consciousness became more and more lax, and she seemed to be pulling away from her body little by little.
-
The King of Yue was at his residence, and the Wu Sheng who watched the theater troupe were singing and playing lively, but suddenly received a note.
The note reads "Yunding Gambling House, No. [-] Private Room Tianzi No. [-] on the second floor." There is no signature on the back, but a small object is drawn.
He squinted his eyes to look at the small objects outlined with a few strokes, and his expression changed immediately.
He clenched the note tightly in his hand and stood up abruptly.
"My lord, the most exciting part of the performance is about to begin!" The palace attendant beside him said hastily.
But I saw him walking outside without looking back.
Wu Sheng on the stage was singing lively, but he didn't turn his head.
The place where the note should be signed, the small object drawn is not next to it, it is the earring that he accidentally lost many days ago.
He wears it close to his body every day, but when he was drinking that day, he was holding the earring in his hand and looking closely at the moonlight.
But someone called him from the bottom of the rockery, and in a hurry, he stuffed the earring into his chest.
No matter how I looked for it later, I couldn't find it.
He searched all night, but he didn't even see the shadow of the earring.
I thought the earring was lost...
It wasn't something he should think about, and it wasn't the person he should think about.
He told himself that if he lost it, it was God who decided to let him stop thinking about it.
This note gave him a blow to the head - the earring was not lost, but fell into the hands of others.
The person holding the earring seems to have glimpsed his secret from the earring.
If not, how would you know how to use earrings to lure him?
King Yue got on his horse and went straight to Yunding Casino.
Along the way, he clamped the horse's belly tightly and rode the horse very fast.
When he got outside the Yunding Casino, he looked up at the three-story Yunding Casino.
The Yunding Casino is bustling right now.
Why did that person meet him in the casino?There are many people in the casino...
He turned over and got off the horse, raised his hand and patted the horse's back, the horse took a few steps, and then went to the side of the tree to gnaw grass.
With his hands behind his back, King Yue walked around the downstairs slowly, but he didn't directly enter the Yunding Casino.
He glanced around, found an empty space that no one was paying attention to, and suddenly turned over, stepped on the trunk beside him, and jumped onto a higher branch.
He squinted his eyes and held his breath, his body was like a vigorous cat, kicking on the tree trunk, taking advantage of the momentum, he jumped up to the second floor of Yunding Casino without a sound.
With his waist bent, he stepped on the eaves on the top of the first floor, and beside him was the window of the private room on the second floor.
He estimated the location of the elegant room on the note, and walked forward lightly.
The window of the elegant room happened to be a crack away.
He frowned and squinted, looking into the private room.
The shadows are vague, the sky outside is too bright, but the situation inside the house is not clear.
He listened carefully, there were people in the room, but nothing happened.
What's happening here?
The king of Yue opened the window a little wider, and looked in through the skylight outside the window.
Just saw the person lying on the couch.
The man's eyes were closed, and he turned his face towards the window.
King Yue's heart skipped a beat, and he almost fell off the roof.
He took a breath, but saw that something seemed wrong.
He looked around again, opened the window, and jumped into the house.
Xiao Yuzhuo's face was very close to him at this moment, her breathing was a little short and disordered.
Her two servant girls were lying on the ground, unconscious.
Li Tai went to pat the cheeks of the two maids first, but the two maids showed no sign of waking up.
He frowned and came to Xiao Yuzhuo's side again.
Xiao Yuzhuo's face flushed abnormally, and her eyeballs were moving under her tightly closed eyelids.
"Cousin? Xiao Yuzhuo?" Li Tai called softly twice.
But Xiao Yuzhuo didn't respond at all.
There was a sudden burst of applause in Yunding Casino.
Even though the door of this private room was closed tightly, the sound of applause was still deafening.
The people off the court seemed to have cast a precise and beautiful result, and there were endless cheers and applause.
Li Tai frowned, but he didn't have the heart to look outside at all.
His eyes were fixed on Xiao Yuzhuo's body tightly.
"Yuyu." He stretched out his hand and pushed her.
There was an unconscious murmur in her mouth.
Li Tai only felt that the closer he got to her, the faster his heart beat.
She was plotted against, and when she jumped into the house, he had already found out.
But now, an impossible opportunity seemed to be right in front of his eyes.
(End of this chapter)
Li Huizhi went back to the room and asked the maid to turn on the light.
She sat under the lamp, staring at the earring tightly, without taking her eyes off it.
"This earring, does it seem familiar?"
Li Huizhi used the thin tip of the hairpin to lift some of the silver ornaments on the earrings, she squinted her eyes and saw the sign of the Silver Building in an inconspicuous place.
This is something from Yinfenglou.
Like this kind of big silver building, the high-quality goods produced are all made by old craftsmen according to the requirements of customers, which is unique.
So whose stuff it is, it's not hard to know.
Li Huizhi narrowed her eyes and put away the earring.
"It turns out that brother has someone hidden in his heart?"
If she finds out who the brother is hiding in his heart, will she have another reason to blackmail him in the future?
Li Huizhi frowned again.
Her elder brother is the King of Yue, unlike her unfavorable princess, the Holy One still thinks highly of her elder brother.
If elder brother likes someone, why not ask him to marry him?Still need to sneak around and hide?
Li Huizhi's expression became more and more excited. It seems that the owner of this earring is not ordinary?
-
Liang Sheng picked an auspicious day for the zodiac.
Wufangzhai opened its grand opening amidst the sound of crackling firecrackers.
On the opening day, Wufangzhai launched dozens of baked dim sum, served with Lushan Yunwu tea brought from Yuzhang County.
Anyone who enters the store and eats tea with dim sum will get a box of dim sum when they leave.
Wufangzhai had just opened, and the smell of baked dim sum attracted many people.
But the dim sum is very expensive.
There are many inquiries, but there are very few people who sit down to eat.
The few students who were waiting for customers in the store were a little anxious, but the shopkeeper was as steady as Mount Tai, not panicking at all.
In the stove in the back kitchen, snacks are constantly being baked, and the fragrance is so wafting that it can be smelled across several streets.
"Delicious! Really delicious!" The guest officer, who could afford it, was sitting in the extremely well-decorated hall of Wufangzhai, nodding his thumbs up.
People in Chang'an at that time had never eaten this kind of baked dim sum. Dim sum made with ghee, fine white sugar, and fine flour was delicious.
And the snacks at this time are either boiled or fried.
The fried ones are too greasy, and the steamed ones are too light.
The dim sum baked in this special oven is not only less greasy, but also crunchy and soft, with a strong aroma.
Doesn't it just satisfy the gluttonous soul of Chang'an people?
Those who have eaten dim sum in the store will get a portion for nothing to take away.
The snacks that were taken away were in the hands of the children at home.
Where has the child eaten such delicious snacks?A box was eaten up in no time.
The older ones know how to be reserved, while the younger ones just opened their mouths and cried, "I still want to eat, I still want to eat..."
As a parent, I love to eat, so I can't bear to watch my child suffer this grievance.Immediately sent the servants to Wufangzhai to buy again.
Unexpectedly, those who came after noon were told, "No more, please be early tomorrow!"
The child cried at home and screamed.
The family members had no choice but to coax the child with great difficulty, so they had to tell the servants to buy some back tomorrow morning.
In the early morning of the next day, Wufangzhai hadn't even opened yet, and there was already a lineup outside the store, and there were quite a few people waiting.
Smelling bursts of fragrance wafting from the closed Wufangzhai, the servants waiting outside just sucked in their saliva.
It was so easy to wait until the inside was ready, and finally opened the door.
The servants immediately rushed forward.
Chen Miaomiao got up early in the morning, baked dim sum in three big ovens, and it was sold out in the blink of an eye.
Before noon on the second day, Wufangzhai's dim sum was sold out.
Within three days, Wufangzhai's reputation had already spread throughout Chang'an City, a gluttonous area.
Wufangzhai's dim sum is very expensive.
But there has never been a shortage of famous people in Chang'an City.
Wufangzhai's Lushan Yunwu tea is slightly bitter, with a hint of sweetness in the bitterness. It tastes very good with the baked snacks.
But Yunwu tea is also expensive!
Wufangzhai is exquisitely decorated, very high-grade.Each private room has a different style.
The name is also elegant.
But there is an extra charge in the private room, a word, it is also expensive!
However, Wufangzhai, where everything is expensive, has become a place of longing for celebrities in Chang'an City.
If you meet an acquaintance on the street, they will ask, "Have you eaten the dim sum at Wufangzhai?"
The man said he didn't eat it and didn't buy it.Then it would appear that this person is incapable.
If you invite someone to discuss business or ask someone to do something, you say, "I have reserved a private room in Wufangzhai, let's go, let's chat while eating."
That beer has face, why?Because it is expensive!
It is said that in some private rooms, there are not only freshly baked snacks, tea made by tea doctors with superb tea skills, but also fruits that cannot be seen in the north.
The fruits are all from the south, and some fruits cannot be bought even with gold in the East City.
The fruits of Wufangzhai are not for sale, but are provided free of charge to those who use the elegant room.
This shows the status, status and respect!
Xiao Yuzhuo, the manager of Wufangzhai, didn't worry about it.
Everything was arranged by Liang Sheng.
She is just a boss, sitting back and enjoying the benefits, just waiting to collect the money.
Oh no, she doesn't even use money.
All her money belongs to Mei Xiang.
Mei Xiang smiled and narrowed her eyes, "Mr. Liang is so amazing! It's only been less than half a month, and he's already earned [-] guan!"
She covered her mouth, giggling like a mouse that stole honey.
Ju Xiang glanced at her, "Isn't it time for you to find everything about Shopkeeper Liang not pleasing to your eyes?"
"At that time, I was afraid that he would profit from it. People can only be trusted after getting along with each other, right?" Mei Xiang nodded her account book, smiling from ear to ear.
Xiao Yuzhuo's expression was indifferent.
Five thousand is a lot, but it's not as good as when she was the princess.
At that time, she spent money lavishly, even if she dumped it on Wei Qilang's concubine Baihe, she would get ten thousand guan in one swing of her hands.
"Excluding manpower and material resources, five thousand guan is nothing." Xiao Yuzhuo smiled, "But Mei Xiang is right, the most important thing this time is to let us and Liang Sheng Wei Ziwu get to know each other better, and we can work together in the future. It's more reassuring."
"What plans does the lady have next?" Mei Xiang asked excitedly.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled, "Next..."
"Lady, Princess Nanping is here!" A little maid said outside the door.
"Princess Nanping hasn't been here for a long time since the eldest princess frightened her away!" Mei Xiang said.
Ju Xiang followed suit and nodded again and again, and looked at Xiao Yuzhuo worriedly, "The lady is pregnant now, but she didn't say anything about it, if she is not serious..."
Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head, "Don't worry, I will pay attention."
She stood up to greet him.
Princess Nanping has already strode into the courtyard.
"My good cousin, see what I brought you?" Princess Nanping strode forward with a box of Wufangzhai's dim sum as if offering treasures.
"Hey, isn't this the dim sum from the newly opened Wufangzhai in Chang'an City?" Mei Xiang exaggeratedly yelled.
"Isn't it?" Princess Nanping nodded proudly, "I asked my servants to line up to buy it early in the morning! That Wufangzhai was very domineering, and after selling a certain amount, I said it would be reserved for the distinguished guests in the private room." Yes, I went late, and I couldn’t even buy it! Are you saying you’re annoying?”
Mei Xiang suppressed a smile, her face flushed red.
"Look, you girl is greedy," Nan Ping pointed at her and smiled, "Your wife will run out of money later, I will give you two yuan to try!"
Mei Xiang hurriedly blessed her body to thank her, holding back her laughter until her stomach ached.
"What are you doing at home all day long?" Princess Nanping sat down, looked at the "Shui Jing Zhu" in Xiao Yuzhuo's hands, and asked suspiciously, "Don't you feel bored? I'll find you a few male pets, I don't see you asking them to serve you."
When they heard that she mentioned male favorite again, the two servant girls were shocked.
"Princess, the eldest princess taught my wife a lesson..." Mei Xiang boldly said.
Princess Nanping quickly glanced outside, "Is aunt here?"
Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head, "No, but she will never allow me to raise my face, so you better not worry about it."
Princess Nanping snorted softly, "My aunt is living a happy life, but she doesn't care about your loneliness! Alas, I am the only one who truly understands you!"
Mei Xiang couldn't help rolling her eyes.
Her wife wouldn't be so worthless, she put all her mind on that little thing!
Her wife has great ambitions!
"Princess came today, did she bring something interesting for me?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked with a smile.
Nan Ping nodded again and again, "I guess you were also detained by your aunt in another courtyard, you must have been bored long ago. Now there is a Yunding Casino in Chang'an City, which is very interesting. I will take you there to open your eyes."
Mei Xiang and Ju Xiang were terrified when they heard it, "My lady, a place like a gambling house..."
There are so many people and chaos, how can we do it?
Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head and refused, "I'm probably used to it, but I don't feel bored. Thank you Princess for your kindness."
"Yunding Gambling House is not an ordinary gambling house, it's all literary gambling, you just go and see it!" Princess Nanping pulled her.
Ju Xiang watched in horror.
"In addition to the literati, there are also many noble girls from aristocratic families who also go to play. They are elegant and tight, not as you imagined! Come on, I will take you to see, you will definitely like it if you go!" Princess Nanping couldn't help but say, pulling her away. she got up.
Xiao Yuzhuo had no choice but to agree, "Princess is very kind, respect is worse than obedience, please first."
"Cousin, what are you talking about?" Nan Ping chuckled, "Go change your riding clothes, I've already prepared a horse for you!"
horse riding?
Xiao Yuzhuo's face immediately changed.
"My wife occasionally feels the wind and cold, which is just right, and she can't ride a horse!" Mei Xiang slipped her tongue and quickly found an excuse.
Nan Ping frowned and looked at her up and down, "Why are you so weak? That's all, you can take a carriage!"
Only then did the servant girl breathe a sigh of relief, and asked Zhu Xiang in the yard to follow her.
The three maidservants carefully waited on Xiao Yuzhuo's side.
It was only after arriving at Genting Casino that they realized that they were really too nervous.
This gambling house is different from ordinary gambling houses, there is not a large group of people around a table, shouting in full swing.
Instead, private rooms with bamboo curtains and gauze curtains form a zigzag around the open and bright hall in the middle.
The back-shaped private room has three floors.
In the open hall in the middle stood a young young man, holding an arrow and aiming at an amphora five or six steps away from him.
There was also a quiver at his feet, with many feathered arrows stuck in it.
"Hey, it started early today, and someone has ended up so soon!" Princess Nanping led her directly into the private room she had made a reservation for.
The door of the private room is opened, and the gauze curtain is lowered. People outside can't see the inside clearly, but people inside can see how the people in the field are doing.
It is also convenient to place bets.
"This is the first match, lady, do you want to place a bet?" Immediately at the door, a waiter brought a pair of cards and asked with a bow.
Xiao Yuzhuo still didn't understand what was going on.
Princess Nanping asked the maids around her to change the pair of cards.
"Is this a gambling house?" Mei Xianghu questioned, "It doesn't look like it at all!"
Take the feathered arrow and throw it into the pair of ear bottles a few steps away. This game has been around since the pre-Qin period, and it is called throwing pot.
The gentry would play this game when entertaining guests at home.
Tossing the pot is evolved from the shooting ceremony, and it is an elegant activity for Confucian scholars.
Therefore, it is rare to see pots for gambling.
"There are ten arrows in a game. The person who ends up says how many arrows he can hit, and the people outside the field also bet money to guess whether he will hit or not." Princess Nanping said, "After ten arrows have been thrown, if he hits himself According to the number, the money that bet on him not to win belongs to him. The dealer doubles the compensation to the bettor. The higher the difficulty, the higher the multiplier."
Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help but nodded, "This way of playing is really elegant enough."
"I didn't lie to you, did I?" Princess Nanping smiled smugly, "Yesterday I got off and won fifty guans!"
"Fifty strings?" Mei Xiang frowned, how could Princess Nanping care about fifty strings?
"That's what I won! I won!" Princess Nanping raised her brows and said.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled and nodded, "Okay, you won. You just play, I'll take a look first."
Nanping went to place a bet, Xiao Yuzhuo was not interested in guessing people and throwing pots, but felt that the topics that a few people were discussing in the private room next door were more interesting.
The voices of those people were not low, and the doors of the two private rooms were open.
Xiao Yuzhuo listened intently, and their voices came in.
"The imperial court wants money. Where can this money come from? From the family? Will the family be willing? Maybe several families will unite... Then it will be messed up!"
"Increasing taxes? Which new emperor won't amnesty the world when he ascends to the throne? Increasing taxes is afraid that the court will be drowned by the people's saliva!"
The Holy Majesty took the throne from the former prince. Although he made a statement that "the prince is in poor health and gave up to his uncle", the name is not justified after all.
How dare he rashly increase taxes under the current situation?
It is even more impossible to extract too much money from the family.
"Let me tell you, actually, the cabinet came up with an idea for the Holy One..."
The man made a fool of himself.
Xiao Yuzhuo pricked up his ears.
The people who spoke must also be the children of the noble family.
As a businessman, the most important thing is to be informed, what new measures or new decrees the court has.
Businessmen must smell business opportunities from it, and this is the opportunity to make a fortune.
Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help standing up, walked a few steps towards the door, and listened attentively to the discussion in the next room.
The man's voice was extremely low.
She didn't hear the person say that the cabinet gave the Holy Spirit any advice, but she saw a familiar figure walking slowly towards the second floor.
"She's here too?" Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help but ask.
Mei Xiang followed her gaze and looked out, "Hey, isn't that the sixth princess?"
Holding up the hem of the skirt, following behind Xiao Er, supported by the court lady, is it not Li Huizhi, but who is it?
"Why is the sixth princess here?" Mei Xiang muttered, frowning.
Princess Nanping snorted lightly, "I asked her to come here."
Mei Xiang's face was filled with resentment immediately, and she muttered in a low voice, "Since the princess has asked her out, what is she doing with my wife?"
Xiao Yuzhuo also looked back at Princess Nanping with a cold gaze.
Nan Ping waved his hand, "Didn't you quit General Jing now? Even if she likes General Jing, she is thinking about you not wanting him. What do you care about her?"
Xiao Yuzhuo didn't make a sound, but what came to mind was the fact that she was bitten by a snake in Mingjue Temple last time.
Fortunately, what happened last time did not endanger the child in her womb, but Li Huizhi's insidiousness still left her with lingering fears.
"Don't worry, with me here, she won't hurt you!" Princess Nanping stood up and patted her on the shoulder, "What are you afraid of her doing?"
"My wife is not afraid of her." Mei Xiang said immediately.
Xiao Yuzhuo looked up at Princess Nanping, "I'm just curious. Last time at Mingjue Temple, the princess whipped her severely, did she show affection? Now you're on good terms with her again?"
Princess Nanping immediately raised her hand to her mouth, coughed a few times, and before Li Huizhi came in, she quickly whispered something in Xiao Yuzhuo's ear.
"She is very good at throwing pots in the palace, and deliberately showed her face in front of the emperor to fight for favor. Today I let her lose all her clothes!"
After speaking, she stood up straight with a triumphant smile on her face.
Xiao Yuzhuo sighed lightly and shook his head, it turned out that it was because of this fighting spirit again.
A few people in the next room started placing bets, and the conversation had already moved elsewhere.
She wanted to hear what advice the cabinet gave the Holy One to fill the treasury, but she couldn't hear it now.
She walked back inside slowly, just about to sit down.
Li Huizhi was invited in by Xiao Er.
"I've met Sister." Li Huizhi quickly smiled and saluted, with a good attitude as if facing her own sister.
She also smiled and nodded to Xiao Yuzhuo.
It seems that they have completely forgotten how one of the two men beat her with his own hands in Mingjue Temple, and the other watched her being beaten with a cold eye.
Xiao Yuzhuo also stood up, "I have seen the princess."
"This is outside the palace, cousin doesn't need to see outsiders like this." Li Huizhi said affectionately.
Xiao Yuzhuo was not polite to her, and sat by the side eating melons and fruits in silence.
"Sister, how do you plan to compare?" Li Huizhi glanced at Xiao Yuzhuo, then turned to ask Princess Nanping.
It seemed that the two of them were fighting each other, Xiao Yuzhuo thought silently, Princess Nanping knew that she and Li Huizhi would not deal with each other, so she must have pulled herself here to make her a witness, so that Li Huizhi would be more thoroughly ashamed.
As for how the two of them compare and how they gamble, I don't have to follow along.
She happily ate, waiting to see how Nanping made Li Huizhi lose everything.
"Later, the two of us will go out together, each with ten arrows, you and I will both guess whether we can hit each other, and then place a bet." Princess Nanping laughed and said slowly.
Li Huizhi smiled and nodded, "Cousin, do you want to play together?"
Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head quickly, "I won't play anymore."
"Isn't my cousin very good at throwing pots before? Why today?" Li Huizhi looked at her with raised eyebrows, quite provocatively.
Xiao Yuzhuo didn't want to be dragged into the water by her, "I'll just watch today."
"She'll just place the bet. Even the emperor praises you for your bets. Are you afraid?" Princess Nanping squinted at Li Huizhi.
Li Huizhi smiled and said nothing.
The young junior under the field quickly finished throwing ten arrows in his hands. He pressed all his arrows, and he was really lucky. Except for the dealer's commission, all the wrong bets went to him.
He smiled and clapped his hands together, took a pair of cards, and left from the field.
"Let's go." Princess Nanping stepped out of the private room.
Li Huizhi smiled, "Why are you so impatient?"
"Stop being wordy." Nan Ping didn't turn his head.
Li Huizhi had no choice but to get up, and nodded slightly to Xiao Yuzhuo, "Cousin, sit down for a while."
But the voice of Princess Nanping came from the back-shaped corridor, "Yuyu, you must press me to win!"
Xiao Yuzhuo responded with a smile, "Mei Xiang, go and exchange the right cards."
Mei Xiang took out the money bag on her body, got it to the door, and was about to call Xiao Er to change the pair of cards.
It's not that the money in the money bag is exchanged for the denomination of the right card.
Instead, there must be something in the wallet that can prove the identity of the owner.
There is no face value on the pair of cards, so how much the host wants to bet, they will report the value to the mistress, and the mistress will sing it out after recording it.
Everyone can hear it.
What if the master loses but has no money?
Isn't there something to prove the identity of the owner?Genting Casino is not a place where you come to play casually.
But anyone who runs a gambling shop has a way to make you spit out your money.
"Xiao Er, switch to the right card." Mei Xiang just called out.
A person suddenly jumped out of the corridor.
Before Mei Xiang could react, the man snatched the purse from her hand, turned around and ran away.
Mei Xiang let out a cry.
The man's attire was very similar to the attire of the waiter who traded cards in Yunding Casino.
Xiaoer who was nearby also seemed to be taken aback for a moment.
"There is a thief!" Mei Xiang shouted, pointing at the person who took the money bag.
Only then did Xiaoer come back to his senses in shock, "Stop him! He stole something from the guest!"
"What should I do, my wife's things are still inside!" Mei Xiang was anxious.
Zhuxiang frowned, "What?"
"Of course it belongs to the family!" Mei Xiang jumped anxiously.
"Take care of your wife." Zhuxiang lifted the curtain, jumped out, and flew to chase the thief.
Li Huizhi and Princess Nanping are now off the stage.
Seeing the two women end up in each private room, they felt a little vindictive, their passion was ignited, and they bet one after another.
Princess Nanping and Li Huizhi seemed to look up at their private room.
Xiao Yuzhuo's chorus of betting never came out.
Nanping waited for a while.
"Cousin doesn't seem to have figured out how to bet yet?" Li Huizhi laughed.
Nanping's face darkened, "Forget it, don't wait for her!"
"I bet on 'You Chu' and 'success', two arrows 'piercing the ear', a total of seven arrows." Li Huizhi said very confidently.
In the early days, it was the first arrow into the pot.
Lianzhong means that after the first arrow enters the pot, the second arrow also enters the pot.
Go through the ears, the pot has two ears, the arrow is not as good as the pot, and enters the ears on both sides of the pot.
Not only did she report how many arrows she could hit, but she also reported that the first two arrows must hit, and the two arrows pierced the ears, which made it more difficult.
Si Jian brought up the quiver, he was taken aback when he heard this, and then sang loudly.
When the people in the private room outside the court heard the arrogant tone of the young lady off the court, they couldn't help but get excited and raised their bets one after another.
Nanping looked at the confident Li Huizhi coldly, "Don't cry if you lose."
"Sister bet on me, or not?" Li Huizhi asked with a smile.
Nanping naturally bet on her not to win.
If she misses the shot as she said, she will pay double to the person who bet on her to lose.
Nanping narrowed his eyes and snorted.
Xiao Yuzhuo sat in the private room, waited and waited but Zhuxiang came back.
Xiao Er, who was waiting outside the private room for her to change her pair of cards, couldn't wait, and was greeted by another guest in the private room to leave.
Nanping couldn't make her bet, and after betting that Li Huizhi missed, he started the game.
Mei Xiang stood at the door, looking out suspiciously, "Why hasn't Zhu Xiang come back for so long?"
But I saw a maid hurriedly walking over from one end of the corridor.
"Is this sister Mei Xiang?" the maid asked.
Mei Xiang nodded, "I am, are you?"
"A sister asked me to deliver a message." The maid said with her head bowed.
Mei Xiang was taken aback, "But Zhu Xiang is in trouble?"
The servant girl looked a little anxious, looked around, but didn't speak.
"Come in and talk." Mei Xiang nodded at her, and stepped aside.
The servant girl entered the door, but closed the door with her backhand, and then said: "The elder sister said that someone is entangled with her, and she can't hold her back for a while."
Mei Xiang was shocked, and looked up at Xiao Yuzhuo, "Lady, this..."
Before Mei Xiang finished speaking, the maid behind her suddenly raised her hand and slashed on the back of her neck.
Before Mei Xiang fell down, she flashed behind Ju Xiang with lightning speed, and slapped down fiercely.
Twice plop.
Chrysanthemum and plum fragrance all fell to the ground.
Xiao Yuzhuo immediately shouted, "Come here—"
But the servant girl shook out a handkerchief from her sleeve, and fiercely covered Xiao Yuzhuo's mouth and nose.
Xiao Yuzhuo struggled, kicked, and bit the servant girl's hand.
The maid groaned, but endured the pain and did not let go.
Xiao Yuzhuo only felt that his consciousness was gradually blurred and his eyelids seemed to be heavy.
When she was vaguely conscious, she realized that the maid had fed her something.
She was thinking about the child in her womb, and refused to swallow anything, but the maid rubbed her throat a few times, and the thing slipped in her mouth, and she swallowed it.
The servant girl laid her flat on the couch in the private room, then slightly opened the window facing outwards a little, then stepped out of the door and closed the door facing outwards.
The doors of the rooms where bets are to be placed are all open, with only curtains hanging down.
They didn't place a bet, and even if they closed the door, they probably wouldn't arouse others' suspicion for a while.
Xiao Yuzhuo wanted to call for help, but her consciousness became more and more lax, and she seemed to be pulling away from her body little by little.
-
The King of Yue was at his residence, and the Wu Sheng who watched the theater troupe were singing and playing lively, but suddenly received a note.
The note reads "Yunding Gambling House, No. [-] Private Room Tianzi No. [-] on the second floor." There is no signature on the back, but a small object is drawn.
He squinted his eyes to look at the small objects outlined with a few strokes, and his expression changed immediately.
He clenched the note tightly in his hand and stood up abruptly.
"My lord, the most exciting part of the performance is about to begin!" The palace attendant beside him said hastily.
But I saw him walking outside without looking back.
Wu Sheng on the stage was singing lively, but he didn't turn his head.
The place where the note should be signed, the small object drawn is not next to it, it is the earring that he accidentally lost many days ago.
He wears it close to his body every day, but when he was drinking that day, he was holding the earring in his hand and looking closely at the moonlight.
But someone called him from the bottom of the rockery, and in a hurry, he stuffed the earring into his chest.
No matter how I looked for it later, I couldn't find it.
He searched all night, but he didn't even see the shadow of the earring.
I thought the earring was lost...
It wasn't something he should think about, and it wasn't the person he should think about.
He told himself that if he lost it, it was God who decided to let him stop thinking about it.
This note gave him a blow to the head - the earring was not lost, but fell into the hands of others.
The person holding the earring seems to have glimpsed his secret from the earring.
If not, how would you know how to use earrings to lure him?
King Yue got on his horse and went straight to Yunding Casino.
Along the way, he clamped the horse's belly tightly and rode the horse very fast.
When he got outside the Yunding Casino, he looked up at the three-story Yunding Casino.
The Yunding Casino is bustling right now.
Why did that person meet him in the casino?There are many people in the casino...
He turned over and got off the horse, raised his hand and patted the horse's back, the horse took a few steps, and then went to the side of the tree to gnaw grass.
With his hands behind his back, King Yue walked around the downstairs slowly, but he didn't directly enter the Yunding Casino.
He glanced around, found an empty space that no one was paying attention to, and suddenly turned over, stepped on the trunk beside him, and jumped onto a higher branch.
He squinted his eyes and held his breath, his body was like a vigorous cat, kicking on the tree trunk, taking advantage of the momentum, he jumped up to the second floor of Yunding Casino without a sound.
With his waist bent, he stepped on the eaves on the top of the first floor, and beside him was the window of the private room on the second floor.
He estimated the location of the elegant room on the note, and walked forward lightly.
The window of the elegant room happened to be a crack away.
He frowned and squinted, looking into the private room.
The shadows are vague, the sky outside is too bright, but the situation inside the house is not clear.
He listened carefully, there were people in the room, but nothing happened.
What's happening here?
The king of Yue opened the window a little wider, and looked in through the skylight outside the window.
Just saw the person lying on the couch.
The man's eyes were closed, and he turned his face towards the window.
King Yue's heart skipped a beat, and he almost fell off the roof.
He took a breath, but saw that something seemed wrong.
He looked around again, opened the window, and jumped into the house.
Xiao Yuzhuo's face was very close to him at this moment, her breathing was a little short and disordered.
Her two servant girls were lying on the ground, unconscious.
Li Tai went to pat the cheeks of the two maids first, but the two maids showed no sign of waking up.
He frowned and came to Xiao Yuzhuo's side again.
Xiao Yuzhuo's face flushed abnormally, and her eyeballs were moving under her tightly closed eyelids.
"Cousin? Xiao Yuzhuo?" Li Tai called softly twice.
But Xiao Yuzhuo didn't respond at all.
There was a sudden burst of applause in Yunding Casino.
Even though the door of this private room was closed tightly, the sound of applause was still deafening.
The people off the court seemed to have cast a precise and beautiful result, and there were endless cheers and applause.
Li Tai frowned, but he didn't have the heart to look outside at all.
His eyes were fixed on Xiao Yuzhuo's body tightly.
"Yuyu." He stretched out his hand and pushed her.
There was an unconscious murmur in her mouth.
Li Tai only felt that the closer he got to her, the faster his heart beat.
She was plotted against, and when she jumped into the house, he had already found out.
But now, an impossible opportunity seemed to be right in front of his eyes.
