Chapter 28: Winning or Losing
Pei Minzhong sat back beside Xuanhui, took a sip of tea, didn't raise his eyelids, and said, "For the sake of my aunt's grandmother, I respect you for three points and call you Master Hou." Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info but today you picked the wrong time, if you go wild here again, don't blame me for not being emotional. ”
Xu Siqi looked back at the person he brought, and his heart was a little settled, but he suddenly saw a person walking up in a hurry.
"Pei Jiu, you've gone too far this time!" The person who came up was Liang Zhan.
Xu Siqi was secretly happy in his heart, King An also came to find Pei Minzhong's trouble, and Pei Laojiu was determined to lose this time. was about to open his mouth to echo Liang Zhan, but Liang Zhan ignored him. I saw that his eyes were looking around, as if he was looking for someone.
When the Xuan Gongzi saw Liang Zan coming, he stood up and was about to speak, but was stopped by Liang Zan .
Liang Zan turned his head to see Xu Siqi, frowned, and said, "Why is Xiping Hou here?" But what's the matter? ”
Xu Siqi said with a smile: "It's nothing special, I heard that the prince of Chengguo has a guest upstairs, so I said to come up and take a look, thinking that he is still young, and help him entertain guests." Who knew that this guy was very uninteresting and wanted to drive me away......"
Before he finished speaking, Liang Zan said: "Since this is the case, then Xiping Hou please go back first." It's not an important guest, so you don't have to work anymore. ”
Xu Siqi was surprised, but he had no choice but to bow to Liang Zan and leave.
Out of the restaurant, the more Xu Siqi thought about it, the more angry he became, and there was nothing at hand that made him angry. When he raised his eyes and saw his little servant standing aside, he raised his leg and kicked it over.
The little guy was kicked to the ground, and he didn't know how he offended his master, so he just kowtowed anxiously and asked for guilt.
Xu Siqi was extremely depressed, originally his people inquired and found out that Pei Minzhong had chartered the third floor of the restaurant by the West Lake in Beijing today, and it seemed that he was inviting some important guests to watch the dragon boat. He came up with this idea and wanted to come over to stir up Pei Minzhong's situation.
I didn't expect to come up and see a child in his early teens, who didn't have any hair. What's even more weird is that King An actually ran over, scolding Pei Minzhong in his mouth. Wang An, who has always been approachable and polite, actually sent himself out in a few sentences, or in front of Pei Minzhong, which made Xu Siqi even more annoyed.
He and Pei Minzhong Liangzi got married a few years ago. At that time, Pei Minzhong had just returned from the Liaodong Army, and Emperor Yuan and Emperor specially ordered him to stay in the capital as a prince's companion. Xu Siqi's grandmother, Mrs. Hou of Xiping, was Pei Minzhong's aunt and grandmother, so she insisted on letting Pei Minzhong live in the Hou Mansion.
It's a pity that although Xu Siqi doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, he became a Hou Ye because of his young age, and some eyes are above the top. And Pei Minzhong is mostly silent in front of people and never greets him. He has worked hard since he was a child and learned a skill, and he looks down on people like Xu Siqi who live by his ancestors.
All this made Xu Siqi very unhappy, and he often made trouble for Pei Minzhong by taking advantage of the convenience of being the owner of the Hou Mansion. In the end, Pei Minzhong proposed to move out, which made Mrs. Tai unhappy. Xu Siqi added oil and vinegar in front of his grandmother and asked Mrs. Tai to write a letter to Cheng Guogong to complain. Pei Minzhong couldn't bear it anymore, so he found the most direct and most relieving way: beat Xu Siqi to teach him a lesson.
Xu Siqi learned the kung fu of Pei Minzhong's fist, and he became much more honest. But he still regards Pei Minzhong as a thorn in his side, and from time to time he has to make some stumbling blocks for Pei Minzhong. This is where today's events come from.
Xu Siqi spat on the ground vigorously, and said angrily to the little guy: "Don't bring the horse over quickly!" Let Lao Tzu walk home? ”
At this time, the dragon boat race on the lake began, and there was a sound of gongs and drums. The little guy didn't hear the order, and he didn't dare to ask directly, so he only looked at Xu Siqi timidly.
Xu Siqi kicked over again, and angrily led people to find the horse.
At this time, upstairs, Xuanhui was still compensating Liang Zhan: "Third brother, I really know it's wrong...... It's because I'm too playful, I begged the prince of Chengguo, and threatened him...... He had no choice but to take me out. ”
After that, he put a piece of fish in Liang Zhan's bowl, and said flatteringly: "Third brother, I swear that I will never do this again." If you try this fish, it tastes very different from the one in the palace! I've never eaten before! ”
Liang Zhan's heart softened a little, and he also knew what it was like to be confined to the deep palace. But this time the two are too bold, if they don't let them know that they are powerful, I am afraid that there will be a next time.
"You're going to threaten people again? Pei Jiu is not something that can be aroused casually. What did you threaten him? Liang Zhan said angrily.
Xuanhui said with a smile: "I said, if he doesn't take me out, I will tell my father and ask my father to marry him and Li Jingyuan!" ”
Pei Minzhong almost got a mouthful of fish stuck in his throat, he silently took a sip of tea and didn't speak.
Liang Zhan couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "What did I say about you? Is this also said casually? How can it be good for the queen mother and the eldest princess to hear it? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the gongs and drums outside shook the sky, and the dragon boat race began.
Xuanhui looked at Liang Zhan with a pleading face.
Liang Zan sighed and said helplessly: "It's all here, you can go over and watch." You promise there will be no next time! ”
Xuanhui nodded happily, picked up the clairvoyant mirror and ran to the window.
At this moment, a breeze passed through, blowing some broken hair on Xuanhui's sideburns. The sun shone across her face, and her tiny earlobes were white and clear, as if they could pass through the light. She smiled at the corners of her mouth, looking very happy.
Pei Minzhong looked a little dazed, and a passion surged in her heart, she only hoped that she could do such a happy thing for her in this life.
Seeing this, Liang Zan couldn't cry or laugh, and kicked Pei Minzhong with his foot, signaling him not to be too presumptuous.
Pei Minzhong came back to his senses and silently took a sip of food, but his ears were red all the way to the root of his ears.
"Oops, I think the dragon head and hull are painted black with the biggest winning side! Their house is so fast! Do you know whose house it is? ”
Pei Minzhong took the clairvoyant mirror, glanced at it and said, "It's about the ship of the Fuyuan Dart Bureau in the capital." His family's kung fu is good, and he often practices on Jingxi Lake in the spring. ”
Why are they so concerned? It's just a festival that is lively, how can it spend so much on it? Xuanhui asked with interest.
Pei Minzhong glanced at Liang Zan and saw that he didn't say anything, so he replied, "Has the princess ever heard that there is a private gambling house in the capital?" Some money banks also do these things behind their backs. The annual dragon boat race is a must-bet in the casino. ”
Xuanhui suddenly realized: "I see. I said how some people watched the excitement and watched so hoarsely. This man is really crazy about money. In previous years, did you win more in this dart game? ”
"Before the dragon boat race in the Holy Forbidden Palace, the Chunwang Mansion and the Fuyuan Dart Bureau often won and lost each other. After the dragon boat was banned in the palace, King Chun's Mansion never came again. Pei Minzhong replied.
King Chun? Xuanhui was not too impressed by this imperial uncle. In his previous and present lives, King Chun was a very low-key person, and he never had much limelight with his children. It seems that he is also a very intelligent person, who knows how to decorate himself with sound and color entertainment, and also knows how to follow the emperor's decrees.
Yuan Xiang quietly stepped forward and said to Xuanhui: "Princess......"
Xuan Hui smiled: "Call me Xuan Gongzi!" What is the matter with you, little boy? ”
