Chapter 126: Chinese New Year's Eve Vigil (4)
And this jade pendant is the male of Huo Jiajing's generation, which everyone has, symbolizing identity. When every prince is born, Emperor Qiandi will order such a jade pendant and give it down, so that the princes can match it since they were young and never leave their bodies. It can be seen that the meaning and preciousness of this jade pendant.
Sure enough, Huo Jingcheng also took off the jade pendant on his waist, the totem on it was the same, and the inscription was naturally the word "Huo Liu". Huo Jingcheng looked at the jade pendant and said, "Naturally, it's this jade pendant." β
Huo Jingyao looked at it, and said with surprise and joy: "Oops! Sixth brother didn't export it? Scared the hell out of me. β
Huo Jingcheng hung the jade pendant back with a smile and said, "This hall can gamble with this jade pendant, and it is confident and measured." That Shen Linfeng happily agreed to the bet, but the main hall did not want to compare the size of the points with him, but did not touch the dice with his hand, and shook it with the cup. Sure enough, Shen Linfeng was unwilling, repeatedly refused, and finally wanted to roll up the money and leave. At this time, the main hall was unwilling to bear it, and directly started with him, and searched out a small box of fish gelatin from his sleeve. Only then did it dawn on him what was going on with his good luck. β
Huo Jingyao asked, "What's the matter?" β
Huo Jingcheng explained: "Before throwing the dice, put your hand into the sleeve, and put a thin layer of fish glue on the fingertips, after grabbing the dice, if you want to sprinkle a little, you will smear the fish glue on the opposite side of a point, and after sprinkling it, because of the stickiness, the side of the dice with thin glue is naturally easy to stick to the bottom of the bowl, and the opposite point will come out." β
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Yao Duran sighed with emotion: "What a trick." Sure enough, people, there is only the unthinkable, and there is nothing that cannot be done. β
The crown princess also said: "I didn't expect that Shen Linfeng, the dignified prince, would also do such unpopular kung fu." I only know that His Highness doesn't know him if he doesn't fight, but I don't know that it was because of such a thing. β
Huo Jingyao couldn't help but sigh, and was anxious to listen: "Sixth brother, then what?" β
Huo Jingcheng continued: "He was caught red-handed by the main hall, which caused public outrage. The gamblers who lost money in the gambling house naturally wanted to settle accounts with him. At that time, there was a lot of trouble, and some people also sued the owner of the gambling house, and the owner saw that there were ghosts in his own territory, so he immediately shouted and shouted out a group of fierce thugs from the back hall. At this time, the main hall heard Shen Linfeng's attendant shouting in a hurry, 'His Royal Highness King Li, run!' When the palace heard this, he immediately touched Shen Linfeng's identity, and said in his heart, this Qili King of Dongjing came to visit my Nanqian, can he let him have an accident? Otherwise, it affects the overall situation. So the temple persuaded him to hand over the money he had won, and Shen Linfeng did not suppress the head snake, and accepted the mediation of the temple, but even so, the owner still did not follow, such a ghost was caught in his gambling house, but if it affected business and fame, the owner insisted on cutting off his finger and giving him a lesson. Seeing that the temple can't be good, it doesn't want to use its power to bully the people and do it with them, after all, there are rules for one line of work. So he simply fled with Shen Linfeng, and was chased by those thugs for several streets. β
"Hahaha-" Huo Jingyao laughed heartily.
Yao Duran didn't hold back, and said with a smile: "I can't imagine that our prince will still be so embarrassed." β
Lu Yan was also secretly laughing, and after laughing, he looked at him again, and asked, "Your Highness, what about then?" β
Huo Jingcheng said: "Then Shen Linfeng was grateful to the main hall and wanted to invite the main hall to drink." As for the main hall, he was already an idler after finishing his official business, and he was indeed curious about how he could be such a deceitful prince, so he gladly accepted the invitation and found a restaurant with him to have a drink. Shen Linfeng is a person who talks humorously, is a very funny person, and does things in all directions, unlike the people of the royal family, he is very accustomed to the rivers and lakes, the palace is interested in him, so he made him a friend, and naturally learned this carving insect skill from him. β
"Sixth sister-in-law, on!" Huo Jingyao stared at the crown princess and suddenly said this.
The crown princess was stunned for a moment, and said in a daze: "What?" β
Huo Jingyao said: "Sleeves! Sixth sister-in-law, hurry up! Check the sleeve of the sixth brother, maybe the reason why he is not drunk today is because of the fish glue hidden in the sleeve, so the wine war is undefeated, so he came to us soberly. As he said this, he himself had already pounced on it and started to move his hand. Huo Jingcheng didn't expect his sudden movements, he was accidentally flipped in his sleeve, and the next moment, he only heard a "click", and something fell out of Huo Jingcheng's sleeve.
"Huh?" Huo Jingyao looked at the things on the ground suspiciously, as if he was trying his best to think about something.
And after Yao Duran saw that kind of thing clearly, his heart suddenly shocked, and his beautiful eyes widened slightly to look at Huo Jingcheng, however, Huo Jingcheng's expression did not change, as if usual.
Yao Duran couldn't see anything from him, and looked at the thing on the ground again. That's exactly what she's missingβthe sachet of yuro!
The crown princess also saw the sachet for the first time, and she didn't know why. She picked up the sachet from the ground and returned it to Huo Jingcheng, and said in an indifferent tone: "Your Highness, take it well, don't let the woman who gave the sachet break her heart." β
"The crown princess has thought about it a lot, there is no such thing." Huo Jingcheng said a word and put the sachet back into his sleeve.
"Oops!" Huo Jingyao suddenly exhaled: "Sixth brother, I remember!" I'll just say how this sachet looks familiar. Isn't this in the Lintian Mountain Garden, my father scolded our brother for rolling the wheat field with lust, and also left some small objects, so he called us to get our own objects, and the sixth brother took back this sachet at that time! β
At this time, according to his words, Yao Duran turned a thousand pounds in four or two, even thinking and speculating, and finally figured out what was going on, and his heart became heavier and heavier as the fog gradually opened. She reached over and took the hand of the green diaphragm. Her silk sachet is known to the green lady, and holding her hand at the moment is to comfort and show her.
Lu Yan naturally received her signal, and no longer looked at the sachet, only lowered his eyes and slowly tasted tea.
Yao Duran was afraid that Huo Jingyao would talk about it again, so he said: "It's just a sachet, don't talk about it, let's get down to business." After that, Yao Duran looked at Huo Jingcheng and asked, "Since Your Highness doesn't have fish gelatin, how did Fang Cai's carving insect skill take effect?" β
As soon as this matter was mentioned, everyone really didn't care about the sachet anymore, and looked at Huo Jingcheng one after another, waiting for an answer.
Huo Jingcheng smiled deeply and explained: "It's just that you didn't care, although there is no fish gelatin in this hall, before throwing the dice, you will touch the wet hair first, instead of fish gelatin to increase the wetness, and the effect is not bad." β
Everyone suddenly realized. At this time, I realized it one by one. Isn't it, usually he doesn't have so many small movements, but today, he often can't get along with wet hair, isn't that his intention?
"HahaβI see, I see." Huo Jingyao figured it out, and Lang Lang laughed.
The atmosphere has warmed up, and the little episode has passed without a trace. Like the icing on the cake, Fuquan also happened to come in with hot dumplings and said, "Your Highness, your dumplings, please use them." β
Huo Jingyao diligently picked up the chopsticks and handed them to him, saying, "Sixth brother, try this dumpling first, it tastes really good." β
"Okay, this dumpling is also very small and delicate." Huo Jingcheng picked up a dumpling and fed it to his mouth, but before he chewed it a few times, he suddenly said, "Huh? So saying, he took something from his mouth, and when everyone looked at it, it turned out to be a copper coin.
Lu Yan smiled and said: "Your Highness is blessed to have eaten copper coins, which is a good omen." β
Yao Duran also explained: "Yes, Your Highness, today we made a special trip to make dumplings with several washed copper coins, and those who eat copper coins must be blessed, so making a wish can also come true, please make a wish for Your Highness." β
"Oh?" Huo Jingcheng smiled deeply and asked, "Will any wish made by this hall come true?" β
Huo Jingyao stepped forward and said earnestly: "Sixth brother, sixth brother, my sixth brother!" You're taking this too seriously. This is just a good omen, how can anything be promised? β
"Yes, just be lucky and happy." The crown princess looked at Huo Jingcheng and said, "Your Highness, make a wish according to the rules, this is a blessing for Your Highness." A few of us are not so lucky, several large plates of dumplings are eaten, but the copper coin, I haven't seen one. β
"Good. The main hall took this good omen and made a wish. Huo Jingcheng closed his eyes gently, his eyebrows and eyes were calm and soft. After a while, he opened his eyes again and said in a deep tone: "It's over." This wish, perhaps, will indeed come true in the near future. β
Huo Jingyao listened curiously, and said right and wrong: "Sixth brother, what wish did you make?" β
Huo Jingcheng didn't answer, and shook his head with a light smile.
The crown princess also glared at him and said, "Ninth brother, you're boring?" β
Huo Jingyao saw that he couldn't ask anything, so he had to give up, laughed and stopped mentioning it.
Huo Jingcheng ate half a plate of dumplings, then put down his chopsticks and rinsed his mouth with fragrant tea.
Huo Jingyao saw that he had finished eating, and said, "Sixth brother, then next, gossip Mo Duo, let's just continue this game?" β
Huo Jingcheng said: "Your way of playing is too old-fashioned, so let's prepare a cup to shake, the main hall sits in the village, you come to guess the odd or even numbers one by one, guess the right, the hall drinks, guess the wrong, you drink it yourself, how about it?" β
Huo Jingyao's eyes rolled, and he suddenly understood, and cheered: "Okay!" Just play this! I'll just say, you still have to learn from the sixth brother to play this thing, these women only know how to compare the size, it's really boring! β
"Huh?" The crown princess was not happy, and said, "Who is jumping and jumping for a long time?" β
Yao Duran also said: "That's it, His Royal Highness the Ninth is thinking differently!" β
Lu Yan also said: "Yes, Your Highness likes the new and hates the old!" β
Huo Jingyao was once again embattled, and was besieged by the women left and right, and couldn't help but say with a sad face: "Sixth brother, brother, please hurry up and treat these women!" It seems that I came to rub dumplings and wine today, and I deserve to be treated like this by them. Why do you say a word is a hundred responses, why do I have to be blocked as soon as I open my mouth? β
"Haha-" everyone laughed.
No more gossip, everyone is playing. Huo Jingcheng shook it casually a few times and settled the dice cup.
The princess guessed the double number, but when the dice cup opened, it was a singular number, and the princess drank the lost wine amid the laughter of everyone.
Next, Huo Jingcheng continued to shake, Huo Jingyao guessed the singular number, and finally opened it to see, he also guessed that he had lost, and after complaining a few times, he drank the lost wine.
