Chapter 153: The Gambling House
Time passed abruptly in a snap of a finger, and two days were just a flick of a finger.
didn't close her eyes for two whole days, and a shallow dark blue appeared under Mu Zhiling's eyes.
It's finally done, and the corners of his mouth hook up a faint smile.
He folded the golden vest, thought about it, and sewed the warm jade into the gap in the vest.
This is Brother Li's belongings, and it should have been returned to him.
His hands were folded, and he silently recited the blessing of the Bodhisattva.
Bless Brother Li and Daddy to return safely.
Then Mu Zhiling called Yuemei, and said with her eyes: "Yuemei, you are smart, and I will send this vest to Li Shizi in a while." ”
Yuemei took the vest from Mu Zhiling's hand and carefully wrapped it in cloth.
Mu Zhiling stared at Yuemei's movements from the beginning, and her gaze became more and more gloomy.
Yuemei was about to leave, but was stopped by Mu Zhiling, she stood up eagerly, and said, "Leave it to me." ”
Yuemei glanced at Mu Zhiling deeply, handed over the things in her hand to Mu Zhiling, and said, "Miss, if you care about Li Shizi, you will hand it over to him personally, and let him understand your thoughts." You're not just tormenting yourself. ”
Mu Zhiling raised her eyes slightly, looked at Yuemei with a slight astonishment, and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Yuemei pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Miss, there are some things that I don't want to admit, but others can see it obviously." That night, the slave saw you and Li Shizi with her own eyes......"
Yuemei laughed as she spoke, she called Miss to admit it in the end, and she didn't know what she thought in her heart.
That Li Shizi obviously cares about Miss. Otherwise, how could you visit late at night?
A personage and courage like Li Shizi probably wouldn't always do this kind of thing that goes against the world and falls into people's hands.
All kinds of signs show that Li Shizi has a mind for her young lady. It's certainly not easy.
Mu Zhiling was even more sad, and said, "There is no possibility between me and him. ”
One sentence will erase all possible qiē.
He and she had too many obstacles after all.
Not to mention that there is a Mu Zhishu in the middle, even her father is afraid and unwilling to let her marry Zheng Li.
suddenly remembered the day she sent Zheng Li five years ago, and there was a lot of tension between my father and King Zheng.
Yuemei came closer and said, "Isn't Miss Mo still thinking about Li Shizi's marriage contract?" ”
Mu Zhiling shook her head.
Grip the vest in your arms tighter and tighter.
She gritted her teeth and handed it to Moon Mei's hand again. said: "You better take it, remember to let him take it no matter what...... Remember to say I'm ......"
Mu Zhiling paused and sighed again. said: "It's okay, it's nothing, you can take it." ”
Yuemei glanced at Mu Zhiling worriedly, but didn't say anything after all.
At this moment, Cuiliu walked quickly towards this side. After seeing Mu Zhiling. said: "Miss, you asked the slave maid to invite the second young master to come, but the second young master is not in the room." The slave and maid searched the whole courtyard, but there was no one to see him. I saw Bai Chi just now, and when I asked, I realized that the second young master had entered the palace again. It is said that whenever he came to rest, he would go to the palace. ”
Mu Zhiling's worries finally happened.
No wonder she hasn't seen her brother for a long time, it's normal to go to school on weekdays and not look at people, even Xiu Mu is not there.
Only now do I know. He will enter the palace whenever he has free time.
If she didn't guess wrong, brother he......
In the evening. Mu Zhiling went to Mu Yu's yard early to wait for him.
When the twilight was thick, I saw a slightly thin figure walking towards this side.
Mu Zhiling raised her head and looked into the distance.
Mu Yu didn't expect Mu Zhiling to suddenly wait for him in his yard, he was shocked at the moment, and then pretended to be relaxed and said: "My sister is so late, why did she come here when she didn't rest in her room." ”
Mu Zhiling stared at Mu Yu's eyes, and only after a long time did she spit out two words in a low voice, "Wait for you." ”
Mu Yu was slightly stunned, and then said: "It's really a strange thing, isn't there something wrong?" ”
Mu Zhiling's eyes were red, although she could only see the bright eyes with a little starlight in the moonlight, she took a deep breath and said, "Brother, where have you been today?" ”
Mu Yu suppressed the smile on his face and stiffened his body, but he did not reply to Mu Zhiling's words.
"I heard from Bai Chi that my brother went to the palace?"
Mu Zhiling stood in front of Mu Yu, it was the first time for her to talk to her brother like this.
In her previous life, her brother was stationed in the barracks all the year round, and he rarely went home once, but every time he came back, he would put on a lot of strange things for her.
Even in this life, my brother is still like this, after returning from Jixiantang, he will often walk around his yard, and then give her some interesting books, or her favorite food.
But this qiē suddenly changed three months ago.
When she saw her brother Ning and the princess's eyes in the palace that day, she understood most of it, and now she just confirmed what she thought in her heart.
"Brother, do you know that there are things that can be met but not sought, and there are nine times out of ten that life is unsatisfactory." She didn't know if it was useful for her to say this, after all, the most difficult thing for people to control was their own emotions.
Mu Yu opened his mouth, not knowing how to say it for a while.
The two were in such a stalemate for a long time, and Mu Yu said suddenly: "Sister, it's not too early, you can go back and rest quickly." ”
Then he walked past her and into the house.
Bai Chi stood by the eaves, and when he saw Mu Yu bowing down after going back, the two whispered something Mu Zhiling didn't hear it, seeing that her brother didn't want to talk to her about these things, Mu Zhiling sighed softly.
Brother can't be considered an escape like this.
His feelings like this will end in nothing after all.
In the previous life, Princess Ning He was indeed married to the old emperor of Liao. Then the old emperor died, and she seemed to marry the new emperor according to the customs of the Liao State.
Thinking of what was about to happen to Princess Ning He, Mu Zhiling was also reluctant, and she was even more regretful and sad.
There are not many people in this world who really treat her, and Princess Ninghe can be regarded as one of them.
If my brother really has that blessing. How nice it should be.
……
May in Kyoto is hot and dry.
In the casino, groups of people are walking inside.
It is said that here, novices can use one piece of rice paper to redeem one or two silver tickets, and newcomers each receive a hundred pieces of rice paper.
If you win. Then the money is theirs.
If you lose, you just lose the rice paper in your hand.
Such a signboard is really too attractive.
Many people are skeptical, many people want to be lucky, and more people are greedy for a small bargain. Without spending a little bit of money, you have the opportunity to earn a lot of money for free. Such a loss-making business is only a fool who does not do it.
A person who goes to the gambling house for a while. Many times more than before.
Yuemei walked on the way, and the young lady asked her to give the things in her arms to Li Shizi, and now the sun is on the head. And passing through here is difficult.
Yuemei watched everyone squeeze towards the notice, and with a little curiosity, she stopped, pulled one of the middle-aged men and asked, "Uncle." What's wrong with these people. Anyway, they all ran towards the sign over there. ”
The middle-aged man was also patient, and said with a smile: "You girls who work for big families all day long just don't know this, don't you know." I heard that this gambling house has changed to a new owner, at this time, in order to be auspicious, I plan to let all novices receive 100 pieces of rice paper for free in the first three days of opening, and the role of this rice paper is great. A piece of rice paper can be worth one tael of silver. In other words, anyone who goes in can win money for free. It's a profitable deal. Of course, everyone wants to go, Xiao Guning, you hurry up and do something, go to you. I'm telling you, this road won't work at all, you better go through the small alley over there. ”
The middle-aged man was a little impatient, because he had to squeeze in quickly, although everyone could get it in the first three days, but he wanted to try the fun of gambling without money earlier.
Yuemei frowned, now that the small alley was also full of people, if it weren't for this, how could she be squeezing around here.
What's more, the people crowded here are all men.
Men and women do not kiss each other.
Now she just wants to send this thing to Li Shizi as soon as possible, tomorrow morning, Li Shizi will have to leave, but she is afraid that she will have to go to the barracks later.
Yuemei walked with difficulty, but at this moment, a large avenue suddenly opened in the crowd.
A man covered in blood was thrown.
Looking in the direction he was thrown, Yuemei saw two burly men standing by the gate of the gambling house.
And in the middle stood a thin man, he smiled and said: "If you lose all the money, you won't have much paper, but you have to use money, if you don't understand this rule, how can you come out and mix?" Listen to me, this is a voluntary thing, but if you lose and don't give money, then the end will be the same as him, or even worse than him. ”
Yuemei glanced down at the man lying on the ground not far away, his eyes were wide open, covered in blood, and his limbs had been amputated.
He's been made a man!
Yuemei covered her mouth and nose and hurriedly walked forward.
None of these things have anything to do with her.
And when she arrived at King Zheng's Mansion, Yuemei didn't choose to go through the main gate, since Cuiliu was bumped into by Mu Zhishu last time she entered from the main gate, then she should not be found when she entered through the back door.
It was very easy for Yuemei to enter King Zheng's mansion this time, and after handing the package in her arms to Zheng Li, Yuemei raised her head and said, "This is Miss's intention, and please accept it by Li Shizi." ”
Zheng Li took the package from Yuemei's hand, opened it and saw that it was actually a heart-protecting vest.
Yuemei looked at him with a complicated expression, and said, "Li Shizi, the slave doesn't know whether to talk about it or not. ”
Zheng Li's eyes stared at the vest for a moment, and said, "It's okay for you to say it." ”
Yuemei hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to say what she thought in her heart, and said: "Actually, Miss has you in her heart, even if she doesn't admit it in her heart, but Shizi you think, if she doesn't have you, how can she always think about you, whether you are injured or on the march, she always thinks about you." ”
Zheng Li didn't expect a maid to be so bold and calm, staring at Yuemei.
At the same time, he was also shocked by Yuemei's words and was speechless.
He had seen this maid before, she was close to Mu Zhiling, and she was an honest person, but suddenly saying such a sentence made him a little at a loss.
He faces a lot of things indifferently, many people, but there is one person who makes him afraid of melting, holding it for fear of breaking.
But it is not uncommon for someone to be born partially.
Now that I hear all this, I feel better again.
But this time is when he is leaving.
I don't know how to describe the mood at the moment, Zheng Li waved his hand to let Yuemei leave.
He hugged the waistcoat that had been densely sewn with gold threads, and his heart was in turmoil for a while.
A powerful heartbeat came clearly from his chest.
The shock made his chest rise and fall.
Suddenly regretted it, and took the initiative to ask to go to the frontier to guard the matter.
In the evening, Zheng Nuo walked towards Zheng Li's courtyard angrily, his eyes cold and terrifying.
He wrinkled his eyebrows fiercely and said, "What do you mean?" ”
Zheng Li didn't want to raise his eyes, and replied lazily: "The child doesn't know what his father means by this? ”
Zheng Nuo shook his sleeves and sat next to Zheng Li and said, "You don't know? Now you are against me in everything, I just left Beijing for a few days and you gave me so many moth things, you really want to be angry with me to be willing! ”
Zheng Li still had a salty expression, and said: "If you can make your father angry, wouldn't that be a great blessing for your son?" ”
"I sue you, tomorrow you will give me a trip back to the southwest, you are not allowed to go to Xiyue, if you still dare to disobey my orders, I will ......" Zheng Nuo was extremely angry, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
For the first time, he felt that something was out of his control.
Zheng Li suddenly stood up and said, "Father, your obsession is too deep, and one day you will harm others and yourself." The son did this, but he didn't want to help the abuse. ”
Although he was also trying to escape something, the most important thing was that he really couldn't accept what Zheng Nuo did.
――Smack――
A crisp sound fell on Zheng Li's face, and Zheng Nuo was furious, and his hand froze in the air.
"You unfilial son! There is nothing wrong with me doing this, every qiē is owed to me by the person surnamed Song! This country, this qiē is mine, I have been working so hard for more than ten years, for what, for what is it, so that our Zheng family can shine on the lintel in the future, and our Zheng family can dominate the country, for you! ”
Zheng Nuo only felt that the unprecedented anger overwhelmed him.
"You're always the only one you're for!" Zheng Li stood up abruptly.
The father and son were at a stalemate.
Zheng Li sneered: "You keep saying that you are for me, but I don't want any of these, and you can't give and don't want to give what I want." Father, is the country really that important? Is the throne really that important? For this, you can see the people suffering, and you can cooperate with the Liao people with a clear conscience? ”
After Zheng Li's words, Zheng Nuo's face was extremely bad.
"If you don't listen to me tomorrow and go back to the southwest, I will be Zheng Nuo as if you have never had such an unfilial son!"
After all, Zheng Nuo just threw down such a sentence and left.
Zheng Li stared at his back.
Is he going to turn against his father after all?
Tomorrow what should he do? (To be continued......)
