Chapter 34: This literati is really hard to pretend
Luo Yan ordered a few special dishes at random, waited for Xiao Er to deliver the dishes, and after the tea was served, she sat quietly in the private room, listening to the discussions coming from all over the restaurant.
"Have you heard, the Hundred Flowers Club is about to start again, I don't know which daughter won the first prize this year?"
"This is something that we ordinary people can guess, but speaking of the first place last year, it is the pearl of the general who protects the country, and it is also the first beauty in our Dongchu, speaking of which this Nalan girl is really ......."
"Having said that, but for those who participated in the Hundred Flowers Festival this year, I heard that there are princesses from other three countries who want to come to participate in the Hundred Flowers Festival in our Dongchu, I don't know if it's true or not?
In any case, this year's Hundred Flowers Festival will definitely be very lively. ”
"No matter how lively it is, it has nothing to do with you, anyway, we are not qualified to go, hahaha...... Come, brothers, drink, drink."
After listening to it for a while, Luo Yan felt a little bored, these people are either talking about whose young lady is good, or whose concubine has fornicated with someone and brought a green hat to her husband.
What's more, it's still discussing which girl in the Qinglou is good at serving others.
There was not a table, and when it came to the news she wanted to hear, just as she was bored thinking about whether to listen to it any more, a low conversation rang out from the private room not far from her.
"How can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come out with a date today, I heard my father say that the emperor intends to marry Miss Nalan to you as the crown princess. A soft, aggrieved voice sounded from the private room.
"Han'er, listen to my explanation, Nalan Qinyao is indeed the crown princess that her father likes, but her mind is on my fourth brother.
She has always been arrogant, such a woman who has someone else in her heart, no matter how beautiful she looks, she is not as good as Han'er's position in my heart. The crown prince lowered his voice and coaxed softly, with endless tenderness.
"Hmph, Nalan Qinyao is really blind, and she wants to marry the regent, which is really naïve.
Who doesn't know, our regent of Dongchu is an inexhaustible female lord.
She thought that by her looks, she could get into the eyes of that person.
Besides, the future power of the Eastern Chu Kingdom does not have to be handed over to the crown prince, she really can't tell the difference, who is the real master of this Eastern Chu?"
"Shhhh
I know, Han'er, you are upset for the palace, but my fourth brother is not a good person, so it's better not to mention this outside in the future, so as not to get into trouble. There was a sound of chairs mopping on the floor, as if someone was standing up.
The man's voice was lower, but from his voice, it was not difficult to hear the dissatisfaction and jealousy in his heart for what he had done to his fourth brother.
Thinking about making the crown prince of a country and the next quasi-heir to the throne jealous, it can be seen that the regent is really unusual in this Eastern Chu.
"Don't worry, the prince is just not worth it for you, and Han'er won't mention it in the future. The woman's somewhat coquettish voice sounded, followed by a strange sound.
After listening to it for a long time, Luo Yan still didn't hear the news she wanted, and finally decided that it would be better to go to the Regent's Mansion in person at night.
Having made up her mind, Luo Yan got up from the small private room and walked out directly, and when she went downstairs, she walked too quickly, and her forehead hit a hard object.
"Hiss" Luo Yan rubbed her sore forehead while looking up to see what was hurting her.
"Little brother, are you okay, I'm sorry, I couldn't dodge in time, and it hurt you. When Luo Yan saw clearly in front of her and hit her object, a warm voice sounded in her ears.
At this time, Luo Yan also saw clearly that it was not a hard object that hit her at all, but the shoulder of a tall man.
Looking up at his face, hey, he looks pretty good, his face is like a crown of jade, he is handsome, and his warm eyes are worried at this time.
"Uh, it's okay, it's because I walked too fast and didn't see anyone in front of me, so please forgive me. Looking at the good-looking man in front of him, and being so modest and polite, Luo Yan made a generous decision to forgive him for hurting her.
"The little boy looked tight, don't you think it's from this capital?" The tall and handsome man raised a modest smile and asked lightly.
When he saw the appearance of the young man in front of him, he couldn't help but have a trace of amazement in his eyes.
This young man is no worse than his fourth emperor brother, but he is young and a little childish.
"Childe has good eyesight, and he was ordered by his teacher to travel to the capital. The handsome man in front of him looked like he had the shadow of her eldest brother, which made Luo Yan feel not annoying.
"I see, meeting is fate, it's better to invite the little boy to go up for a drink, and apologize for just bumping into the little boy. The man looked at Luo Yan with a sincere look in his eyes and invited politely.
"Well, no need, there's still something to do, let's get together again in the future. Luo Yan took two wrong steps and walked past the man.
"Okay, since the little boy has something, I won't bother in the future, if I see the little boy again in the future, I will definitely appreciate my face. The man seemed to see that Luo Yan really had something to do, so he didn't say much, and clasped his hands into fists to greet him politely.
"Definitely, definitely" Luo Yan also returned the salute with a fist, and then turned around and quickly went downstairs to leave.
For her, who has never liked etiquette, such a modest exchange really made her uncomfortable.
After leaving the restaurant, Luo Yan let out a sigh of relief.
"Huh, this literati is really not easy to pretend, it's too uncomfortable, go quickly, go quickly, the people here are too restrained, it's not fun at all. With a few words of low muttering, Luo Yan looked up, looked at both sides of the street, and walked towards the casino she was curious about before.
Before she arrived at the blockage, she listened to the cheers and scoldings inside, and the noisy sound made Luo Yan speed up her pace of approaching.
Stretching out her little hand and patting the hem of her clothes, the dust that didn't exist, Luo Yan swaggered into the casino.
When you enter the hall, you will see the entire casino, divided into several areas, and the front of each table is full of people.
Luo Yan casually found a gambling table surrounded by people and squeezed a place to stand.
I saw a bamboo tube in the dealer's hand, which contained a few small squares, and under his rapid rotation, it made a crashing sound.
"Bang" the bamboo tube in the hand of the dealer is buckled upside down on the table, and the squares continue to shake when they fall on the table, from fast to slow, and finally stop.
"Buy big, buy small, hurry up and bet, buy and leave, hurry, hurry up and have no bets." When there is no more movement in the square in the bamboo tube, the sound of buying comes from the mouth of the dealer.
The crowd of onlookers, after the dealer spoke, put the broken silver in their hands, put it on the big and small two big characters on the table, and everyone bet differently, some bet big, some bet small.
Luo Yan didn't know how to play, so she could only observe from the side, and wait until everyone had placed a bet.
The dealer began to count down to three, two, and one, and the person who bet next to him shouted loudly, small, small, big, big, and the sound of the stinging Luo Yan directly covered his ears.
