Shang Que took Youyi to the residence of the second prince, and took the path because he was in a hurry. She inquired with the little eunuch about the direction of the road, but she did not think that the path was hidden by tall and dense bushes, dark and remote.

If someone hides in it and is caught off guard, I'm afraid even she will take care of herself, let alone protect the powerless Youyi around her. Seeing that she was about to turn into the main road at a bend, she bumped into a scene that made her jaw drop.

Seeing the two figures disappear one after another, Shang Que rubbed his eyes, pulled Youyi and asked, "I'm not mistaken, right?" ”

"Maybe it's a mistake." Youyi replied vaguely.

"Nope! It's Sister Wei Ru. Shang Que said with great certainty, "The figure and the movement of speech can't be wrong." I really didn't expect that Sister Wei Ru would ......"

"I don't think it's what we thought it was, because they didn't say anything, they didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Besides, there are too many involved in this matter, so let's treat it as if we didn't see it! ”

"Don't worry, I'm definitely not going to spread it out. Although it was my aunt over there, such a thing was not something that a junior like me could intervene in. I can only assume that I don't know, what else can I do? However, listening to Fang Cai's words, Sister Wei Ru seemed to refuse. That's good, and it's silent before everyone knows. If it really happens, when I see Sister Wei Ru again in the future, I don't know what to call it. Shang Que muttered.

Youyi was stunned when she heard this, why did she still have something to do with Princess Rui?

"According to the rules, each prince has a princess, two side concubines, concubines and ladies are not limited. Now the head of the Rui Wangfu is my aunt, and there are two side concubines below, if Sister Wei Ru enters the palace, I am afraid that she can only be wronged to be a concubine. If you don't go, you don't have to be inferior in vain! Shang Que then said to himself.

This time, Youyi understood it, and it turned out that she regarded that person as Lord Rui. It is no wonder that Prince Rui is a brother to the current emperor, and they are somewhat similar in size and appearance. It's dark here, no wonder she misrecognizes someone.

"It's not Lord Rui......"

"Yes, yes, yes! I didn't see anybody. Shang Que interrupted Youyi's words, "I'll hold my mouth!" ”

Hey? Forget it, let her misunderstand. Youyi hesitated for a moment and decided to keep her mouth shut.

As soon as the two of them turned onto the road, a little eunuch ran over to them, and when they saw the two, they said with a smile: "The second prince saw that the two girls didn't come for a long time, so he sent the villain to greet them." Why didn't the two girls send someone to light the road with a lantern? After speaking, he led the two forward.

When the two entered the small courtyard where the second prince lived, they saw that the figures in the house were staggered, and a burst of laughter came out.

"We're late, we don't know if we've missed anything." As soon as he entered, Shang Que shouted loudly.

She quickly took off her cloak and handed it to the girl next to her, and ran to the side of the kang and tilted her head to look at it.

Another girl came over to wait for Youyi, took off her big hat and hung it outside.

"It's a little windy outside, so drink a cup of hot tea to warm your stomach first." The second prince ordered someone to serve tea, waved his hand to let Youyi pass, turned his head to the others and said, "This is my newly accepted little apprentice, although I don't have my very true inheritance, but it's still okay to kill a few of you without leaving a piece of armor!" ”

Several people sitting on the kang looked at Youyi, these people were very fresh, there were many people at the dinner, and Youyi didn't leave any opinions and didn't see them.

Among them was a square face, and he stared at Youyi again and again, and that gaze made Youyi feel very uncomfortable. Look at his appearance again, with a pointed chin, small eyes, and mung bean-like eyes. It is said that the face is born from the heart, and when you look at this kid, your heart is not right.

"I know that Brother Yi is very good at cards, so I came here to learn it, and you pushed out a little girl. How? Want to meet with you and have to pass five levels and kill six generals? His face was full of dissatisfaction, and he spoke even more casually, and he even called the second prince a brother.

The whole Dayu, it is really rare for a peer who dares to talk to the second prince like this. Youyi couldn't guess the identity of this person, Shang Que glanced at her, and whispered while others were not paying attention: "He is the younger brother of the crown princess, and he often goes in and out of the prince's mansion. ”

Youyi couldn't help but be surprised when she heard this, and the gentle face of the crown princess appeared in front of her. The appearance of the two sisters and brothers is really 108,000 miles apart, and their facial features can't find the slightest place to imagine, and even their personalities are completely different.

"The prince loves the house and Wu, hum!" It's inconvenient to say more here, Shang Que only said this, but the last hum contained too much content.

Youyi naturally heard some clues, and when she saw the banter in the eyes of the second prince, she guessed that they were all killing time with this Wen Gongzi. A lonely son of the Guogong Mansion, relying on his sister as the crown princess to get into the upper circle. If he has some real skills and can still be respected, he doesn't know how thick the sky is, and he looks like his father, he doesn't do anything serious except for spending time and drinking all day long, and he has an empty straw bag in his belly.

He felt that he had a brother-in-law who was the prince, so he was pretentious, and his style was even more than that of the prince. The children of the real first-class families disdain to be with him, but because of the prince, they have to give him some face after all.

He didn't know that he had made a lot of jokes in the capital on weekdays. Now that the soft grinding and hard bubble followed the princess to the hunting ground, she is more and more fluttering and can't find the north. He felt that he was the prince's brother-in-law, and the second prince was the prince's younger brother, so he naturally had to be called a brother.

Chu Yi had heard about him a long time ago, but he hadn't dealt with him when he was in the capital. Now that I see, it's really dog meat that can't be served on the table! Since he sent it to the door to find embarrassment himself, of course Chu Yi would not be polite, it happened that there was no pastime for a long night, and it was all for fun.

"Youyi, come and play a few games with Gongzi Wen for me." Chu also greeted Youyi, "Can this one brought by Gongzi Wen play cards?" Let's get a hand. ”

These words are in the middle of Wen Jun's thoughts, and he is not at ease with the people who are all here. As the saying goes, playing money is haunted, and he can't be calculated.

"The second prince is polite, my surname is Li, and my father is Li Manshan, the commander of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion." was chased by the named son

Mountain. The named son hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and returned, and did not forget to report to his home.

Chu Yiwen thought for a moment, and replied after a while: "Oh, it turned out to be Lord Li's son." If I remember correctly, your grandfather was a retainer of the Ancestral Emperor. ”

That Li Gongzi agreed, with a hint of discomfort on his face. said that he was a retainer, but in fact he was a coated minion. Although his father's generation has been freed from slavery, he is a slave after all.

Fortunately, the card table was propped up, and the topic did not continue. Youyi, Wen Jun, Li Gongzi, plus Shang Que, are exactly two men and two women.

Chu Yi sat next to Youyi, and several other people also came to watch the excitement.

It's not a big deal to watch the lively people, "Since you want to play, it's a little bigger, and it's exciting to watch." Win or lose more than a hundred taels, it's not as good as having fun with girls! ”

"You will make the bet, and I will accompany you to the end!" Wen Jun waved his arm, looking indifferent.

That Li Gongzi was naturally speechless, Shang Que glanced at the second prince, and the second prince smiled at Youyi and said, "Young Master Wen is a rich man, you just have to speak." The old rule, if you win, you take it, and if you lose, it's mine. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were focused on Youyi, and she had to say it if she didn't want to speak.

"Since there is such a cheap thing, I naturally can't let it go." She smiled and said, "It's just that I'm stingy, especially when it comes to money." The second prince said generously, if I don't have so much cash on hand at that time, I will still have to pay out of my own pocket. You still put out all the silver tickets on your body, and then we will decide how big the bet is. ”

"Huh." Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this, but a trace of appreciation flashed in Chu Yi's eyes. He instructed the little eunuch beside him to bring a silver ticket and spread it on the table for a full fifty thousand taels.

Seeing this, Shang Que smiled and said, "I didn't expect to gamble, and I only had a thousand taels of silver on my body." But it doesn't matter, I'll send someone back to get it, and I'm naturally happy to accompany you. As he spoke, he instructed someone to go back and ask the old lady Shang to bring 50,000 taels of silver tickets.

The person who went came back quickly, handed over 100,000 taels of silver to Shang Que, and said: "The old lady said, a small gamble is pleasant, and a big gamble hurts the body and money, and if you don't make it, your family will be ruined." The girl has the right to kill time, and she doesn't expect her to win, and she doesn't care if she loses. ”

100,000 taels of silver is called a small bet? It seems that the rumors outside are true, this old man really likes Shang Que.

"You have all seen it, I only have these 100,000 taels, and if we lose, we will end the game." Shang Que said with a smile, "I don't know how much silver Gongzi Wen and Gongzi Li brought?" If I win with good luck, don't go back empty-handed! ”

"Can I still rely on your money? Who in the capital doesn't know me Wen Jun, and the Duke of Wen is still short of these 100,000 taels of silver? "Wen Jun is the only seedling of the Guogong Mansion, and the entire family property of the Guogong Mansion belongs to him alone. Although the government has declined, it still has some foundation.

Youyi said with a smile when she heard this: "Wen Gongzi is naturally not short of silver, what kind of place is the Guogong Mansion, just take out an object is enough for our small family to live for a year and a half." But in case I was lucky enough to win Mr. Wen's silver, Mr. Wen asked me to go to the house to get it. The lions at the gate of the Guogong Mansion are more powerful than ordinary people, how dare I ask for them? Isn't this empty joy? ”

Wen Jun showed a smug look on his face when he heard this, and took out the one thousand taels of silver tickets he was carrying. Just now he still felt a little shameless, but Youyi's words gave him steps.

"Unfortunately, I never carried much silver with me when I was in the capital. If you need to spend money, you can report the name of the national government, sign it and stamp it. He shook his head.

Someone next to him immediately smiled disdainfully when he heard this, this young master of the Guogong Mansion owed a lot of money outside with a lot of wine, and some people went to the Guogong Mansion to collect debts. At first, Grandpa Guo admitted the account and settled the account happily. Later, there were more and more people asking for accounts, and the number was also amazing, so Grandpa Guo naturally wanted to check it, and he couldn't spare his own loser son.

Wen Jun was beaten violently, and he was so frightened that he hid and didn't dare to go home. Grandpa Guo simply said that if there is no evidence, he will not pay it back, and whoever owes it will find whom! Who can find Wen Jun? Of course, people don't open shops, and I heard that there was a lot of uproar and shame.

In the end, someone came forward to help say yes, and finally paid back some of it. Later, many traders in the capital told the shopkeeper and the guy in the store that Wen Gongzi's account could only be cashed out, and no credit was owed!

He thought that no one remembered the past two or three years of this incident, and he dared to brag and say big things. Unexpectedly, there was the son of the middleman who followed him in this house, so he remembered it very clearly.

"But since Miss Jin is afraid that I will overwhelm people with power, I will give you a reassurance." He casually took off a piece of jade pendant from his waist and threw it on the table, picking his small eyes with an arrogant face, "You see, this is an object given to my grandfather by the Ancestor Emperor." Don't say it's 100,000 taels, you can't buy it even if you double it! ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at it, and saw that the jade pendant was really warm, and there was no impurity on the whole body; Looking at the pattern above, a tiger is lifelike, and it makes people feel intimidating when they look at it. The best ancient jade, coupled with the best carving, the most important thing is the imperial gift of the ancestor emperor, this jade pendant is a priceless treasure. Even taking out such a thing and putting it on the gambling table is really a real loser!

Moreover, this is also a great disrespect to the ancestral emperor and the ancestors of the Wen family, this Wen Jun is causing trouble. Although Wen Guogong also spent a lot of time drinking and losing his family, he was not confused to this point. No wonder people say that the Guogong Mansion is inferior to the first generation, and now even the second-rate family can't be saved.

Seeing the jade pendant, a trace of displeasure flashed in Chu Yi's eyes, but he quickly took it away.

Seeing this, Youyi said: "This jade pendant is quite valuable, even if I lose the Jin family, it will not be enough." I don't dare to play anymore! ”

"Afraid of what? If you can win, let's talk about it. Besides, I didn't intend to scare anyone, this jade pendant is worth 100,000 taels of silver. Wen Jun said nonchalantly.

100,000 taels? Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this, and they were really not ordinary losers.

"Refreshing enough, bold enough!"

Wen Jun heard everyone say this, Yue

In saying this, I get more and more carried away. Originally, he couldn't get along with these people at all, let alone be complimented like this. But since his sister became the crown princess, he felt that his value had risen. No, the guy who is usually arrogant now knows how to flatter him.

"It's just a jade pendant, and anything in my house is worth more than this. We've been talking nonsense for a long time, hurry up and get started. "He has long wanted to frustrate the spirit of the second prince.

They all said that the second prince was the first romantic talent in the capital, and he was not convinced but had no fault at all. Now that he is the prince's brother-in-law, he is commensurate with the second prince as a brother, and he finally has the opportunity to sit together and compare the measurements. He knew that the second prince's horse was playing well, so he specifically wanted to defeat the second prince in his strengths, so that the title of the first merry and talented man in the capital was not his?

As soon as he thought of this, he was in a good mood, and once again urged Youyi and the others to hurry up.

As the saying goes, if you don't die, you won't die! Youyi had a hunch that this young man Wen would not be able to get out of this room safely.

"If you want to play, you have fun, I like Wen Gongzi's temperament." Youyi said with a smile, her eyes curved into crescent moons, and she looked innocent and harmless, "Since we are all Mali people, we will simply solve it quickly." There is a total of one round, and everyone can be a banker once. During the period, the score is counted, and the last place takes out all the bets, and the penultimate place takes out half of it. Naturally, the bet was won in first and second place. ”

"It's a new way to play, and it's a bit interesting. So, how do you calculate the score? "Shang Que thinks it's funny.

"Hu gets 10 points at a time, 10 points will be deducted for firing guns, and no points will be deducted if you don't fire cannons. If no one wins after four games, then add one game to determine the winner. ”

"Okay, that's it!" The other three people agreed, and the crowd who watched the excitement also felt novelty and became more and more interested.

The first one is Youyi sitting in the village, she stood up and looked around, sighed and said: "This card is really bad enough, so I can only don't let go of the gun." As he spoke, he shot out a five-cylinder.

The first card is played in such a center, obviously afraid of eating cards after touching a few rounds, and playing out first to worry. I'm afraid that the further back she goes, the more rubbish the cards she plays.

Sure enough, after touching a few laps, Youyi played useless things north and south, even if it was a good card, it was also to follow the family.

Seeing that this game was about to fall out, Wen Jun, who was sitting in the house below her, didn't even eat a single card.

Even if his card skills are powerful, it is difficult to win the card if he is stuck like this, and he is also strictly guarded against the merchants below.

As long as you don't fire guns, you have a chance to win, so they all played a little conservatively at first. After a game, none of them could make a fool of themselves.

At the beginning of the second game, Wen Jun actually played a clever trick this time. He deliberately played a lead, and Youyi was really fooled, and he touched two cards with him.

"Although you didn't lose your own money, you can't help but feel distressed." Wen Jun joked about Youyi, looking like he had won.

Before his words landed, he saw Youyi push the card, "Hu! ”

Although it is a self-draw, it is the most worthless little butt. According to the rules set in advance, as long as Hu is scored once. Because it was a self-touch, all three of them were deducted 10 points.

At the beginning of the third game, Wen Jun's face became solemn, and even the always reckless Shang Que became cautious. No one won in this game, and it was lost again.

The crucial fourth game came, Youyi temporarily got a ten-point lead, and the other three were deducted ten.

Everyone watching the excitement is calculating in their hearts, and it is estimated that the possibility of adding a game is very high. Even if the first and last places come out, there will be a tie in the middle.

But the result was beyond everyone's expectations.

Wen Jun played a two-of-a-kind, and Shang Que, who was sitting under him, immediately pushed his cards down, "I'm sorry, I'm nonsense!" ”

Before everyone could take a closer look, they saw Youyi also put down the card, "I'm sorry, I'm also nonsense!" ”

Double shot! This is equivalent to firing two cannons, and you have to deduct 20 points!

"Hasn't this card Xiao Lizi only played two rounds?" Wen Jun couldn't help but ask.

"I'm sorry, I just touched a chicken, and I finally got caught up with the three, you hit it at the right time!" Shang Que replied with a smile.

"I'm sorry, but I caught up." Youyi also smiled and replied, "It's just that I like Wen Gongzi's jade pendant, I want it!" ”

So I deliberately didn't Hu Li Gongzi's cards, but let Wen Jun let go of the cannon!

Wen Jun's face turned red with anger when he heard this, Youyi was so frightened that she stepped back, her little face was wrinkled, her long eyelashes flickered like a frightened rabbit, and she couldn't bear to see it.

"The skills are not as good as others, admit gambling and admit defeat, Wen Gongzi will not be unable to lose, right?" An home and a gentle voice rang out.

Chu Yi had been sitting, sipping tea with a teacup, seemingly not paying attention to what was happening in front of him.

"Who can't afford to lose? It's just a jade pendant. He glanced at the second prince, whether he dared to be presumptuous, but his eyes glared at Youyi viciously. Li Gongzi, who went with him, lost half of the gambling money, and the two of them left in disgrace.

Chu Yi picked up the jade pendant, handed it to Youyi and said, "Since you like it, take it." ”

"Who doesn't care what he's worn? I'm just looking at how much this thing is worth. If the second prince wants to, he will take 100,000 taels of silver, otherwise I will send it to the pawnshop. Youyi knew the benefits of silver, and she thought that if she had a large amount of silver, she would also buy a deal outside, and she would be more comfortable in the future.

When the girl's family got married, she had a rich dowry, and she was also hard at the waist of her in-law's family. She didn't expect the eldest lady to give her much dowry, even if the old lady loved her, she still had to take into account the feelings of her other granddaughters.

"Poof~" Chu Yi smiled when he heard this, "You little girl still know about pawnshops?" The asking price of 100,000 taels is very cheap, and I can afford it. It's just that no matter how much money you have, when you run out, I'll give you a chicken that lays eggs! After speaking, he held the jade pendant in his arms

The jade pendant was in his arms.

What chickens lay eggs? Youyi couldn't help but pout, it couldn't be that she didn't want to pay for the money. However, this jade pendant is never a vulgar thing, and I am afraid that it will cause trouble if it is left in my hands.

"I've been haunted by this stupid thing for a long time, and I don't have any energy at the moment." Shang Que sat on the chair with his legs crossed, with a depressed face.

She hadn't been drinking much tonight, and although she was still sober, she was a little less energetic than usual. Fang just played another round of horse hanging, and now her eyes are a little unable to open.

Youyi went back to rest, and Chu also sent a safe person to send the two of them back.

Shang Que went back and went into his room, and Youyi saw that the light in Wei Ru's room was still on, so she looked for it.

She knocked on the door lightly, and Wei Ru's voice came from inside, "Is Sister Youyi back?" Come on in. ”

Youyi went in and saw Wei Ru sitting on the bed dressed in white, reading a book.

"Doesn't your arm hurt anymore? I'm still reading a book at such a late hour. Youyi went over and snatched the book from her hand.

In fact, Wei Ru just couldn't sleep, and he didn't read much of that book.

"When you go to the dinner today, you should see the emperor. I didn't mean to hide it from you, I just didn't find the right time to say it. Besides, I don't think we'll cross paths in the future. Wei Ru said very calmly, and there was not the slightest fluctuation of emotion on her face.

When Youyi heard this, she felt a trace of regret, "How can the second master be the emperor?" I was so surprised. ”

"I have long seen that he is not an ordinary person, but I didn't expect him to be the Ninety-Five." Wei Ru smiled faintly, "He is a man with taste, and I have a good emotional experience in him, so I am grateful." Life is a journey, the scenery on the way is the people you meet, maybe you will stop for the scenery you think is beautiful, but in the end you still have to go on the road, but the length of stay is different. ”

Youyi was speechless for a long time, she was savoring Wei Ru's words. She thinks she has seen through the love and hatred in the world, but now she knows that she is not free and easy. She has lived two lives, but in the end she is shallow.
