Chapter Eighty-Nine: Losing in a row
Knowing that the banquet was just perfunctory, it was already like this, and the banquet could only be disappointed.
Yan Jingnian was released from the confinement, returned to his true colors again, and continued to play happily with a few friends as before.
It's okay for this guy to mess around by himself, he has to call Cui Zhiyi.
"Grandmother, no matter what the Yao family's house says, Yan Jingnian has made a contribution, he called me, I can't help but go, right?"
The Qi family didn't want Cui Zhiyi to mess with Yan Jingnian, but Cui Zhiyi felt that first, he had a good relationship with Yan Jingnian, and secondly, he always felt that the matter of the Yao family's house owed him a debt and refused it, so he called Cui Zhiwei to explain to the Qi family with him.
"Grandmother won't let you go, but he's a little too nonsense. "Yan Jingnian has a bad reputation, and the Qi family is afraid that he will bring Cui Zhiyi badly.
Cui Zhiyi looked at Cui Zhiwei and winked at her, meaning that he didn't call you here to see. Cui Zhi smiled and hugged Qi's arm to intercede for Cui Zhiyi: "Grandmother, you just let the second brother go." ”
When Qi Shi looked at her, he explained: "The second brother is now taking over the affairs of our family, so we must know more people." A few of us have been in Xuyang for a long time, and there are very few people in the capital. Although the elder brother of the Yan family has made some nonsense, when it comes to the familiarity of the various provinces in Beijing, I am afraid that there are few people who can compare to him. ”
"But Yan Shizi walks cats and dogs all day long, causing trouble, what if your second brother follows him and learns badly?" Qi then worried, "He has the emperor, the queen and the crown prince, they are backers, others dare not treat him, our family does not have so much ability to ensure that your second brother is safe." ”
"If the second brother changes to make friends, we can't guarantee what that person's character is? In the granddaughter's opinion, the elder brother of the Yan family is a little nonsense, but the essence is still good. Moreover, the second brother is no longer a child, he has the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, and knows what should be done and what cannot be done. ”
"Grandmother," Cui Zhiyi hurriedly followed, "Zhiwei is right, you can trust your grandson." "Following Yan Jingnian is the fastest way for him to integrate into the circle of noble sons in the capital, their family now has a lot of business, and I don't know when they will use whom. Moreover, since he was a child, he has the best relationship with Yan Jingnian, and he doesn't want this relationship to fade.
"Okay," Qi finally relented, "However, if you let the old body know that you don't study well, don't blame the old body for using the family method?"
"Don't worry. After Cui Zhiyi saluted the Qi clan, he happily ran to meet Yan Jingnian and the others.
"You!" Qi nodded Cui Zhiwei's head, "Don't blame your grandmother for not reminding you that Yan Shizi is not a good match, you should stay away from him in the future." ”
Cui Zhi smiled sweetly, "Granddaughter knows." "She's never been so irrational.
Cui Zhiyi and Yan Jingnian played together for the first two days were quite peaceful, and every time they came back, they would talk to Cui Zhiwei and Cui Zhiyi about who they knew and what they did. Unexpectedly, on the third day, he asked the little guy to find Cui Zhiwei for help.
"What's going on, second brother made you come to me in a hurry?" Cui Zhiwei asked Cui Zhiyi's little girl.
"The second son accompanied the banquet prince and other people's cockfights, and he has lost five games in a row. The little guy replied.
"Yan Jingnian actually lost a cockfight with others? and lost five games?" Cui Zhiwei felt a little incredible. That guy is good at beast control, who can win him?
"It's really a losing streak. ”
"Who's the other party?"
"It's the prince of King Qing. ”
"No wonder. Cui Zhiwei nodded, "King Qing's mastery is considered to be a successor, and it may be carried forward." ”
Speaking of King Qing, this person's biggest hobby is cockfighting, and after fighting for so many years, he rarely loses. The most recent defeat should have been lost to Yan Jingnian, and it is estimated that this time the prince of Qingwang is looking for a place for his father.
"The second brother also gambled?" Cui Zhiwei asked.
"Yes. "The little guy didn't hide it," the second son won the gambling banquet, so he also lost five games in a row. ”
"Then what did the second brother ask you to do with me? Could it be that you don't have enough money in your hand?"
"The second young master really has very little money left in his hand, and I want to borrow some from you, Miss, in addition, it is Yan Shizi who told the second prince to ask you to go. ”
"Okay, I got it. ”
"Then are you going or not?" asked the little guy anxiously.
"You wait outside, I'll call the third brother to go with me. At the critical moment, Cui Zhili is much more reliable than Cui Zhiyi, so Cui Zhiwei prefers to work with him.
Cui Zhili still took Yu Gui this time, and Cui Zhiwei went out with Su Ye. Seeing Cui Zhili, Cui Zhiwei told him about the matter.
"You say, does the prince of King Qing also know how to resist beasts, so the brother of the Yan family will lose?" Cui Zhili asked Cui Zhiwei.
"We don't know yet, but it's possible. ”
"What do you mean by Brother Yan's visit to you?"
Cui Zhi smiled, "I guess it's to help him resist beasts." If she guessed correctly, it should be that kid can't control those chickens, so he will lose one after another.
"How are your eyes? Do I need to dispense some potions for you?" two days ago, her eye was injured, and Cui Zhili gave her some potions, and the effect was not bad.
"My eyes are fine. By the way," Cui Zhiwei lowered his voice and asked Cui Zhili, "Have you hidden that box?"
"According to your instructions, it has been hidden, and a hidden breath charm has been pressed on it. "That talisman was originally used to hide the breath of people, it was painted by Li Ruosu before, and Cui Zhiwei asked Cui Zhili to put it on the box to prevent others from using the eye of heaven to see that there were treasures hidden inside. Then Cui Zhili asked Cui Zhiwei with some puzzlement, "Why don't you let me open that box to see what's inside?"
"Didn't you notice that there have been a lot of people of unknown origin around our mansion recently?"
"yes, I found out too. ”
"I think those people were either sent by the emperor or were with the men in black. In addition, our house already has a secret guard sent by the emperor to keep an eye on it. "Not only their Hou Mansion, but also all the mansions have secret guards, and there are even undercover agents sent by the emperor. In order to understand the situation of each family.
"Are you afraid that someone will find out that we are hiding our secrets?"
"That's right. Cui Zhiwei nodded, "You think, we relied on those gold bricks in exchange for two official positions and a title, that's because the emperor thought that our family had nothing left." What if the emperor knows that we are hiding our secrets?"
"I guess I'm going to be upset. ”
"Not only are you unhappy, but you also feel guilty. A few of our official positions and titles are dispensable, but they will definitely affect the career of the eldest brother. After a pause, Cui Zhiwei said again, "If the people in black know that we are hiding our secrets, it will be endless troubles." ”
"You're right, when will we see it again?"
"Let's wait for a chance, but it's going to be over for a while. ”
