Suddenly, in the distance, the faint light flickered, and Ye Yan jumped up and jumped onto the top of the gallery, and walked lightly along the top of the beam to other places.

When passing through a courtyard, Ye Yan saw a table made of stone in the courtyard below, and a few simple side dishes were placed on the table. A woman dressed as a servant was sitting at a table and eating leisurely.

The woman looked familiar.

Just as he was about to identify carefully, someone came over, and Ye Yan didn't have time to think about it, so he could only turn over and leave.

A noble-looking woman took a few grandmothers for a walk in the garden, thinking of the young man she thought about day and night, who was about to marry a girl with no name in another family. I couldn't help but feel sad in my heart, as if there were countless knives, guns and axes poking her heart and liver, drenched in blood but there was nothing to be done.

Walking to this remote courtyard, I saw a woman dressed as a servant from a distance, alone in the courtyard desolate and begging for drunkenness, and couldn't help but sarcastically say: "Mrs. Cao is really good Yaxing." ”

The woman, dressed as a servant, hurriedly put down her cup and stood up.

Under the moonlight, it was Cao Xiulian. got up and saluted her slightly: "Miss Liu is well." ”

The person who came was the uncle of the country, the three thousand gold willow jade qin.

Liu Yuqin nodded arrogantly and motioned for her to sit down: "Mrs. Cao is really good Yaxing, this crescent moon is in the sky, drunk and groaning alone, she really deserves to be a person from the Chu Mountain Chief's family, and she is really elegant." ”

Cao Xiulian, who is a shrewd monkey racer, can't hear the sarcasm in her words, it's just that people have to bow their heads under the eaves and dare not refute her mouth, for fear of offending her.

Now that she is being searched for everywhere in the open and dark, thanks to Liu Yuqin, she is not only safe and sound, but also has no worries about food and clothing, and she will not bother with these two sentences.

accompanied by a smiling face at the moment: "Miss Liu is really good at laughing, where am I admiring the moon and elegant, I'm here~ I am borrowing wine to eliminate my sorrows." ”

Liu Yuqin pretended to be surprised: "Oh? Madame, why worry? ”

Cao Xiulian drank the wine in the cup with a depressed face, slapped the cup on the table fiercely, gritted her teeth and said: "What I am worried about is God's injustice, my son has been filial and well-behaved since he was a child, and he was framed by that little slut like this and died tragically."

It's a pity that the little slut can still enjoy the emperor's grace alone, and he was favored by the Zhenyuan General's Mansion and the young general, and flew on the branch to be a phoenix, but you and I can't help her. ”

It is said that Jiang is still old and spicy, so Liu Yuqin originally wanted to taunt her a few words, which provoked her to take action again to deal with Chu Qingruo, who made her unable to swallow and was like a fish in her throat.

Who knew that this Cao Xiulian was actually a thousand-year-old fox cultivated into a human form, and she burned the fire to herself.

As soon as Liu Yuqin heard Cao Xiulian mention Chu Qingruo, who made her poke her heart and lungs, her face changed greatly, she couldn't help clenching her fists, and her voice trembled: "Listening to the meaning of Mrs. Cao's words, you and I don't have the slightest chance?" ”

Cao Xiulian sighed, picked up the wine jug and poured another glass of wine for herself, raised the wine glass, covered her eyebrows with her sleeves, quietly glanced at her red and green face, and then raised her head and drank the wine in the glass.

put down the wine glass, pinched the handkerchief and moistened the corners of his mouth, and said helplessly:

"Now that the streets are plastered with the list and portraits of me who want me, I can only hide in this secluded courtyard all day long, and I don't even dare to go out, what chance can I have?

Even if I can get out of this courtyard, I have now been swept out of the Chu family, a person who has lost power, has neither money nor hands, out of this door, a woman alone, what can I do? ”

Liu Yuqin's face turned dark, and she was about to open her mouth to refute her, but she heard Cao Xiulian's words change and said, "But Miss Liu, you and I are different." You are the daughter of your uncle, you have a lot of money in your family, and there are countless talented people under your uncle.

Although the little slut is now favored by the Fu family, he also came out of a small family after all. If you really want to talk about this power and means...... But it can't compare to your uncle's daughter.

Miss Liu, don't you say? ”

After speaking, he stopped looking at Liu Yuqin's face, picked up the chopsticks and ate the side dishes.

Liu Yuqin listened to her words, seemed to have an understanding, softened her complexion, turned around and ordered the maid behind her: "Go, go and get a pot of wine and a cup." ”

When Cao Xiulian heard this, a subtle smile appeared on her face.

Liu Yuqin and the other maids took the new wine and the cup, poured a glass for herself, she picked up the cup, took a small sip and asked, "Then what is Mrs. Cao's good plan?" ”

Cao Xiulian paused with her hand holding the cup, and pretended to laugh at herself with a wry smile: "Now that I am a person in distress, what can I do." Mademoiselle, don't laugh with me. ”

Liu Yuqin grinded her teeth secretly for a while, her face was still patient, and she said in a harmonious voice:

"Mrs. Cao, what are you talking about? I heard that Mrs. Cao is also known as the Zhuge among the women in the imperial capital, Yuqin was born dull, and she has no wealth and capable people in her uncle's mansion, but she has no good strategy to drive. It really made Mrs. Cao laugh. ”

Cao Xiulian pretended to be flattered: "Miss Liu said this, it really tormented the woman." Pretending to lower his voice mysteriously, "If Miss Liu is really willing to listen to the woman's words, then I will also ask her to give Miss a plan." ”

"Mrs. Cao, please speak."

"Miss Liu, do you know who is in charge of the Chu family now......

Ye Yan took advantage of the night to return to the princess's mansion, walked into the house and lay on the couch with his clothes.

After resting for a moment, he reached out and took out a small silver hairpin with rough workmanship, which had fallen from the little elk when he had plundered it that time. Now he carries it with him, and he takes it out from time to time to play with it.

Holding it in his hand, Ye Yan's rough thumb stroked the pattern on it, thinking in his heart who was the familiar woman he had seen in Uncle Guo's mansion today?

After pondering and meditating to the end, he turned over and put the hairpin under his nose and smelled it, and the smell left by the little elk on it reassured him.

Holding the silver hairpin tightly in his hand, he fell asleep deeply.

On the street of the bustling imperial capital, a middle-aged woman dressed in ordinary clothes walked in a hurry, constantly looking behind her as she walked. At a corner of South Street, the woman stopped, turned around and looked at the unfamiliar again, and then turned into an alley on the left.

At the end of the alley is a new mansion with the door wide open, and two big men standing on the left and right. There is a plaque hanging on the door, which reads "Changsheng Casino". The woman walked over, and the two big men nodded at her: "Gongsun Niang is here?" Why is it so late today? ”

As he spoke, he led her into the courtyard and into the hall of the gambling house.

Since taking charge of the Chu family, Chu Wenhong has been like a mouse that has fallen into a rice tank.

Chu Wenxuan became increasingly obsessed with his Cuizhuyuan and the two Xinna's aunts and grandmothers chanting poems, so that she gradually controlled the power of the family, and she also made a lot of money in it.

A few months ago, I met the lady of the Li family who gambled and played together on the street before she got married, and I knew that this Changsheng gambling house was still open, and I couldn't help but want to play a few hands today.

"Come on, come on, buy and leave, buy and leave!"

"Big, Big, Big, Big"

"Small, small, small, small"

The clamor in the casino made Chu Wenhong's blood boil, thinking that now she was also running. The old mother who has been pressing her is gone, the shrewd monkey Cao Xiulian is also wanted, and her daughter is taken by General Fu Shao again, and there are many happy events, she is going to be transferred, and she must kill the Quartet today!

"Sister Hong, come on, I'm here, why did I come so late!" In the distance, at a gambling table, Mrs. Li beckoned to her, and Chu Wenhong squeezed over.

When I came to Mrs. Li's side, I listened to her sycophant: "Xu is this sieve knows that the nobles are coming today, and he has opened more than a dozen big ones in a row, and as soon as you enter the door, you will open a full house." It seems that you are really going to be lucky. ”

Chu Wenhong was even more proud when he heard this, and everyone floated lightly: "Where is it, the eight characters haven't been skimmed yet!" Come on, come on, don't talk nonsense, bet bets. As she spoke, she took out two taels of silver from her cuffs and pressed it on the "small", and Mrs. Li followed her to bet on the small.

Chu Wenhong smiled and said, "What are you doing with me?" Don't blame me if you lose. ”

Li Niangzi chuckled: "You are now shining brightly, who am I not following you?" ”

pinched her: "You can talk!" He turned his head to look at the dealer.

Mrs. Li covered her mouth with a handkerchief and glanced at a man standing in the corner of the opposite side of the hall, who understood and walked to their table and whispered a few words in the ear of the dealer, who nodded knowingly.

At dusk, two red-faced women walked out of the Changsheng gambling house happily, bowing their heads and talking while covering their mouths and snickering.

Seeing this, the two big men at the door saluted: "Gongsun Niangzi, Li Niangzi go slowly." ”

Chu Wenhong smiled and nodded, and casually rewarded a dime of silver.

Mrs. Li smiled from ear to ear: "Look, I'll just say that you are lucky, and it's right to follow you." ”

Chu Wenhong said proudly: "That's good luck today, and I don't know if there will be such good luck tomorrow." ”

Li Niangzi: "Look at what you said, you are now in charge of the Chu family, even if you are unlucky, what is there to be afraid of." The huge Chu family, you can't afford to have such a little silver. ”

Speaking of this, Chu Wenhong's face hung down: "Alas...... Don't say it, this Chu family has always been my stupid brother's, my mother is partial, and she gave all her belongings to him, a nerd.

Now that his two aunts are pregnant, when they give birth, my younger brother will raise another one to become a housewife, and I, this good life will come to an end! ”

When Mrs. Li heard her say this, she quietly looked at both sides, put a handkerchief over her ear and said, "His two aunts and wives are pregnant, so what if the child is gone?" ”
