Chapter 48: Renegotiate the Gambling Contract

He Linwan put away the smirk on his face when he heard this, looked at Li Yu carefully, and said quietly: "Does the prince mean that he is willing to give me the plum garden?"

Li Yu shook his head: "Except for my concubine, I won't give Meiyuan to anyone, but I can give you a chance to win Meiyuan." ”

He Linwan couldn't help but sneer: "Didn't the prince say last time that the plum garden was the dowry of the princess? How can you casually lose to others this time? It can be seen that in the eyes of the prince, this plum garden is not a very important thing, so it is better to give it to me simply." ”

At this time, I don't know what happened below, the noise gradually became smaller, and even Li Heng's loud voice couldn't be heard, and Li Yu's voice became clearer and clearer: "My princess, I will give her whatever she wants." Otherwise, it means that I am incompetent, and I will not have the face to marry her. ”

Li Yu glanced at He Linwan, and his voice was still careless: "What's the matter, Miss He, do you want to bet this game with me?"

He Linwan picked up the tea bowl as if she wanted to drink tea, as if she was thinking about what Li Yu had just said, but suddenly she chuckled lightly and put down the tea bowl in her hand: "This is beautiful." So if the prince loses this game, do you want to swear that you will never look for your princess from now on?

Li Yu shook his head without thinking: "This can't be done." ”

He Linwan asked casually, "Why not?"

"Because I never bet with anyone about something I can't afford to lose. Li Yu said lightly, "How is it? Do you want to give it a try?"

He Linwan thought about it. Sighed, "What does the prince want to know from me?"

Since Li Yu already doubted it, covering it up any longer would only make him more suspicious, and He Linwan asked while his mind turned sharply.

Li Yu said: "About the poison in the snow leopard, tell me everything you know." ”

He Linwan pondered for a while, but said: "I promised the elders in the family that I would no longer be involved in outside affairs, otherwise I would be grounded by the family and never come out again." If I sue you......"

Li Yu interrupted He Linwan, "What you told me today, out of your mouth and into my ears. No third person will know. If Miss He is afraid of trouble, then she can rest assured. I won't let anyone know that I learned from you. ”

He Linwan nodded, and then said: "I once saw such a strange thing in a Zhiwei novel, in the deep mountains and old forests, there is a very small but fierce insect that feeds on the brain marrow of living creatures, once the living creature is allowed to burrow into one of the seven orifices. It can follow its meridians and climb into its head. After sucking the cerebral spinal cord clean, it resides in the center of the eyebrows. By this time the living creature was actually dead. It is actually this little worm that dominates the body of a living creature, and it can control the body of a living creature to attack all people and animals that are hostile to him, so it can only kill but is not afraid to die. ”

Li Yu frowned: "You mean that the snow leopard is actually not poisoned." Instead, he was controlled by an invisible little bug?"

He Linwan said innocently: "That's what I suspected at the time, because that insect usually lives in the center of the eyebrows, as long as it attacks that place and destroys its dwelling, it will be bloodied and disappear." As you can see, I stabbed it in the middle of the eyebrow with a dagger, and it literally fell. Whether this is the case or not, I don't know. ”

He Linwan said half-truths and half-truths, although they all said that the royal secret medicine "Living Corpse Scatter" was poisonous, but after He Linwan knew its medicinal properties, he felt that it should be Gu, because if it was poison, there was no way to dissipate the toxin so quickly without the help of external forces.

Although what He Linwan said sounded very unbelievable, Li Yu did not reproach her for talking nonsense, but thought carefully about the symptoms of the snow leopard, and found that it was really very consistent with what He Linwan said.

But is this really what He Linwan saw from a strange novel?

Li Yu asked, "Which Zhiwei novel is it?"

He Linwan tilted his head and thought: "I forgot the name, but the content seems to be about a scholar who went out to study, encountered all kinds of demons and strange things along the way, and finally turned the danger into a disaster." ”

Li Yu wrote it down and decided to send someone to the bookstore to find it. However, after the people below really found all the books back, Li Yu found out that the Zhiwei novels outside were basically the routine He Linwan said......

At this moment, they heard footsteps coming from outside, and they stopped talking at the same time.

After a while, Li Heng pushed the door in first, rubbing his shoulders while scolding and turning back: "The surname Zhao is so heavy!

He Mian's gloating voice then sounded: "Come on, Li Xiaoheng, just now Brother Zhao has obviously shown mercy to his subordinates, people are standing there, you rushed over and threw yourself into a dog and, and you also injured your shoulder." ”

Li Heng pointed at He Mian and said viciously: "He Mian's feud between the two of us hasn't been settled yet, you wait for the master!"

He Mian smiled without giving face: "I won't fight you, you will win my sister first." ”

Li Heng gritted his teeth, turned his head and found that the hateful sister in He Mian's mouth was sitting in the house, he wanted to go up and give her some color, but his brother was also sitting there.

Li Heng didn't know what he muttered, so he walked to the seat next to Li Yu and sat down, and couldn't help but glare at He Linwan.

He Mian and Zhao Yingchuan also walked in one after another.

Zhao Yingchuan, who had not spoken, said lightly: "I'm sorry." ”

As for why he was sorry, Zhao Yingchuan didn't say it, and everyone who was sitting knew that he was apologizing to Li Yu and Li Heng for the content about King Jin that Mr. Storyteller just said.

In fact, we can't blame the cyclamen for coming to the teahouse for today's events, because about the war in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the storytellers in the capital all said this, and as for what the facts are, how can the common people know? After many years, even if people who know that period of history, who dares to stand up and say that what the storyteller said is wrong.

If what the book gentlemen say is wrong, what is right?

Li Yu glanced at Zhao Yingchuan when he heard this, and then lightly flicked Li Heng's head: "You just beat Shu Tan?"

Li Heng reluctantly said: "Almost, the master has already let go, and if you hear a beating in the future, you can't stop the people in the capital from talking nonsense, so the master will let them all shut up!"

Li Yu said to Zhao Yingchuan: "How much did the teahouse lose just now, report the bill to the housekeeper of the Jin Palace"

After a pause, Li Yu smiled again, "The same will be true for this kind of thing in the future." ”

Seeing this, everyone finally understood who Zhao Heng, the bear child, was used to coming out, and Li Yu, who was the brother, almost said: Whatever he wants, lose money to find me.

Zhao Yingchuan said: "I don't have to do it today, it's because I don't treat the guests well." After a pause, he said expressionlessly, "Next time, I will ask the shopkeeper to find the palace housekeeper." ”

He Mian laughed.

At this time, the flow of people downstairs gradually increased, and they all rushed in one direction, He Mian was attracted to attention, immediately jumped up from his seat and ran to the window to look down, and then rushed back and said to He Linwan with a smile: "The temple fair is about to start, there are people juggling at Guan Gong Temple, go, brother will take you to see it!"

When Li Heng heard this, he immediately responded: "I'll go too!

He Mian gave Li Heng a roll of his eyes: "Why are you everywhere?" ”

Li Heng gave him a roll of his eyes: "I'm talking to you?" brother, let's watch the excitement too!"

He Lin saw that the brothers and sisters of the Yuan family were really not coming, and Zhao Qingqing didn't want to face the Li brothers here if he didn't come today, so he got up according to He Mian's words.

Li Yu also stood up and glanced at He Linwan: "You can set the time of the gambling contract, and send someone to notify you when the time comes." ”

Li Heng's eyes widened in shock, he looked at Li Yu and then at He Linwan: "Brother, you also bet with her?"

Zhao Yingchuan and He Mian also looked over immediately, and He Mian squeezed his eyebrows at He Linwan with excitement on his face.

Li Yu glanced at Li Heng: "What?"

Li Heng hesitated for a while, but still leaned up and whispered to Li Yu: "Brother, this ugly girl is a bit evil, you must not ruin her reputation for a lifetime!"

Hearing this, Li Yu turned his head and glanced at He Linwan.

He Linwan had just stopped Zhao Yingchuan and had something to say to him, when he suddenly felt Li Yu's gaze, he looked back, and turned away.

Li Yu gave Li Heng a tap and said lightly: "You think I'm you?"

Li Yu and Li Heng went downstairs first, and He Linwan turned his head to talk to Zhao Yingchuan again: "That waiter last time, if he goes to the pawnshop again, please ask your shopkeeper to help me pay close attention to it." ”

Zhao Yingchuan nodded: "En." ”

He Lin thanked him late, but when he was about to leave, Zhao Yingchuan said: "In addition to the valuable things in the hands of the inner servant, it is the reward from the master, and the filial piety of the people below. That jade pendant doesn't look like something used by nobles in the palace to give rewards, it should be someone else's filial piety to him. ”

He Linwan's face turned a little pale when he heard this, who would be filial to the inner servant? In addition to the foreign maids who entered the palace, they were the little palace maids and the little inner servants below.

This is the last thing He Linwan wants to think about.

Except for Brother Jie, the Yang family is almost dead, and if Brother Jie becomes an internal servant, the bloodline of the Yang family will be completely cut off. And Brother Jie is only four years old, and he is still a child who doesn't understand anything, how can he enter the palace to suffer like that!

Thinking of what might happen to his younger brother, He Lin's heart was crying blood, and he hated the enemies who had harmed them so far as never before.

"Miss He?" Zhao Yingchuan saw He Linwan standing there without moving, so he called her softly.

He Linwan came back to his senses, curtsied at Zhao Yingchuan, and then went downstairs.

Zhao Yingchuan looked at He Linwan's back and frowned slightly.

For a moment just now, Zhao Yingchuan felt a fierce killing intent. (To be continued......) I1292
