This meal took a bit long.

Because of the injury, Shen Boji has been eating for several months, and when he sees such a large table of delicious food today, he naturally won't let it go.

Mrs. Shen is the most obedient, she is the most unruly bastard, she has been muttering and talking during the meal, Zhou Jue and Wu Shouxin want to scare her, the three of them have a lot of fun going back and forth, Zhao Che and Gu Hengzhou have eaten more bowls of rice than usual.

After eating, the man came to settle the bill, and the meal was worth a lot of money, which cost ten taels of silver.

Zhou Jue and Wu Shouxin's faces were very bad, this was their pocket money for a month, but Gu Hengzhou and Zhao Che were here, they were embarrassed to cheat, and they were ready to pay the bill, Zhao Che preemptively said: "The palace has already paid, it is very pleasant to eat with a few people at the same table today, and we can discuss it together again when we have the opportunity in the future." ”

Zhou Jue and Wu Shouxin breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked them.

There was nothing to do in the back, and several people went home separately.

Shen Bai didn't like to take the carriage, humming a little song and walking back, after two streets, she turned around and walked towards the west, and after a while, a person blocked in front of her and said in a deep voice: "Young Master Shen, Your Highness has something to say to you." ”

Shen Bai raised his eyebrows, came to a narrow alley with the man, climbed into the carriage, and Zhao Che sat firmly in it.

Shen Bai saluted and said, "Meet His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Zhao Che looked at her and asked, "The injury is not healed yet, where are you going?" ”

"Go home." Shen Bai blurted out, and changed his words under Zhao Che's forced gaze, "I don't feel that there is someone behind me, and I think there is a problem, so change the route and take a look." ”

Can her three-legged cat sense that she is being followed by the Praetorian Guard?

Zhao Che didn't believe Shen Bai's nonsense, and ruthlessly exposed: "You have been coming home late recently, is the gambling house so fun?" ”

Shen Bai touched his nose and said secretly, Your Highness, you have a lot of opportunities every day, and you are staring at me all day long.

Knowing that Zhao Che had already investigated everything he had done recently, Shen Bai didn't quibble, and said, "I'll just play, it's not an injury, it's too boring to be stuffy at home." ”

Zhao Che frowned, he didn't like to see her like this, and said in a deep voice: "It seems to be fun, it just so happens that this palace is fine today, so it is better to go with you for a long time." ”

How are you going to have fun?

After going to study at Tai Academy, Shen Bai knew more than before, knowing that Zhao Che was a noble and couldn't do many things, so he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Your Highness can't ...... it."

Zhao Che's eyelids lifted, and the eye knife swooped into Shen Bai's body, interrupting her words and asking, "What can't this palace do?" ”

Shen Bai shrunk his neck, showed a smirk, and shook his head vigorously.

You can be the prince of Zhaoling, why can't you?

The carriage continued to the west to the gambling house, but the news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince brought the only son of Taifu to openly gamble spread out and had a really bad impact, and when he was about to arrive, Zhao Che asked the guards to go to the nearby ready-to-wear shop to buy two clothes to change into, and pretended to be the little son of an ordinary family to go in.

There are three people in the gambling house, there is a miasma of black smoke, as soon as Zhao Che enters the door, his brows are furrowed even tighter, now in midsummer, there is no ice in the gambling house, it is so hot that it is not breathable, the smell of sweat and feet and various smells are mixed together, Zhao Che almost vomited out.

Shen Bai was familiar with the way, and took Zhao Che to the back of the gambling house.

The back of the gambling house is much cleaner, Shen Bai said proudly: "There are a lot of rules here, if I didn't know my eldest brother, ordinary people would not be allowed to come in." ”

She recognized her eldest brother again after raising her injury, and she was really not idle at all.

Zhao Che glanced at Shen Bai and felt that she might really have given birth to the wrong gender, and there was no one more skinny than her in the entire Hanjing, not to mention the girl, even among the young masters.

There is a house behind the gambling house, which is played by people with a little status, and the environment is good, and the bets are naturally higher.

Walking all the way in, to the outside of a small courtyard, someone stopped them, and said that the idlers and miscellaneous people could not enter, Shen Bai skillfully took a piece of silver and came out, so that the two of them could be accommodating, and the Praetorian Guards could not go in, Zhao Che had to go in with him.

Shen Bai knew that Fu Low was too small at this time, so he begged angrily, and after a while, the two of them reluctantly agreed to let Zhao Che go in as well.

Zhao Che gave the Praetorian Guards behind him a look, asking them not to act rashly, and then walked into the courtyard with Shen Bai.

This yard is quite elegant, a hut, with a few rocks on the outside as a rockery, and a few pots of flowers as decorations, barely able to see.

When you enter the house, there are ice cubes inside, which is much cooler than outside.

There were chilled fruits and refreshments on the table, Shen Bai poured a cup for Zhao Che and said, "It's still early, the eldest brother is estimated to come after a while, Your Highness will eat something first." ”

Shen Bai was not guarded at all, Zhao Che had just finished eating, he was not hungry at all, he ignored her, and sat in the room for a while, the door of the room was pushed open again, and a man wearing an azure embroidered brocade bamboo robe walked in.

The man looked to be in his early thirties, and his facial features were barely upright, but he didn't have any righteousness, and at first glance, he was very different from Zhao Che's usual contact with those people.

As soon as he came in, Shen Bai shouted excitedly, "Big brother." ”

The man knew Shen Bai's identity, and naturally knew that Zhao Che's identity was not bad, so he didn't dare to wait slowly, so he saluted Zhao Che first, and said respectfully: "The contemptible Sun Youyou has seen a distinguished guest, and if something is delayed, please don't be surprised." ”

Sun Youyou didn't dare to guess Zhao Che's identity casually, and only used the name of a distinguished guest.

Zhao Che bowed his head and said: "Bai'er has been lingering here for a long time, and I heard that there are a lot of new and interesting things here, so I came over to take a look, and I have seen for a long time, which is not considered to break the rules here, right?" ”

Although both of them were wearing ordinary clothes, they couldn't hide the nobility around them.

Sun Youyou hurriedly shook his head and said, "If the two sons can come here, it will only make this place flourish, how can there be any rules and regulations, your guests are serious." ”

This person's ability to shoot whiskers and walk horses is okay, but Zhao Che doesn't eat this, he plays with the cup and says straight to the point: "I don't have much time, I have to go home in a while, so let's start." ”

Shen Bai is so young and easy to fool, but Zhao Che is not so easy to deceive, Sun Youyou glanced at him more, nodded and said: "Young Master Shen has been playing a lot these days, I don't know what the guests want to play?" ”

"Let's see." Zhao Che was not picky, Shen Bai came up with an idea next to him, and said, "Let's fight the crickets first, how is my God of War raised?" ”

The god of war that Shen Bai said was a big cricket, I don't know what they fed, the shell was shiny and shiny, and even a little black.

Zhao Che had only heard that there was such a thing to play with, but it was the first time he had seen it.

Shen Bai was very precious to his god of war, his eyes lit up as soon as he saw it, and he eagerly showed off to Zhao Che how good his cricket was, and then asked Sun Youyou to take out the "Champion" cricket.

The cricket called "Champion Lord" is all black, shaking the whiskers on the top of his head, and he looks very powerful at first glance.

Zhao Che asked Shen Bai and Sun Youyou to show him the cricket, and after a stick of incense, Shen Bai's god of war was bitten to death in the basin by the champion.

That's losing.

Shen Bai was very frustrated, Sun Youyou comforted Shen Bai, and said: "The God of War has no experience, in fact, it should first use a few crickets to nourish its guts, Young Master Shen is too anxious, otherwise it is really difficult to distinguish the winner from the champion." ”

Shen Bai was a little comforted, but he was still very unhappy, Zhao Che was not very interested in this after reading it, and asked Sun Youyou: "Anyway, now that I have lost, what is the bet?" ”

"According to the rules, Young Master Shen should give me twenty taels of silver, but this is the first time for a distinguished guest to accompany Young Master Shen, even if this is a performance given by the villain to a distinguished guest, there is no need for Young Master Shen to pay." Sun Youyou said in a friendly manner, making it clear that he wanted to take this opportunity to make Zhao Che a friend.

He didn't know Zhao Che's identity, but when he was also the young master of a certain family, he came out to find excitement, first set up a good friendship, and then slaughtered Zhao Che as a fat sheep.

This kind of thing can be seen everywhere, even if you want to raise it, there is no cost, just such a one actually costs twenty taels of silver, which is much more expensive than a table of specialty dishes in the drunken fairy building, and it can really open your mouth.

Zhao Che didn't agree with this kind of thing, his face was not obvious, and he said: "Just the crickets killing each other, it doesn't seem to be interesting, is there anything else?" ”

As he asked, Zhao Che took off his personal blood jade and put it on the table.

The blood jade is red all over the body, made into a flame shape, the color is excellent, and the tentacles are also cool in this weather, and the discerning person knows that it is a priceless thing at a glance.

Where has Sun Youyou seen such a good thing as blood jade on weekdays, and his eyes suddenly straightened.

Zhao Chequ gently knocked on the table with his hand, and said with a smile: "The most important thing in our family is money, you just have to show your skills, as long as you can make the master happy, your benefits are indispensable." "Chase literature

Zhao Che has been plotting with Sangong School for more than a year, and he is much more proficient in grasping people's hearts than before, and he immediately grasped Sun Youyou's weakness, Sun Youyou immediately smiled and said: "These are all petty fights, Young Master Shen is so young at all, I don't dare to let him indulge in these things too much, so as not to lose his mind from playthings." ”

Do you know that playthings are demoralized?

Zhao Che sneered in his heart and said calmly: "I am much older than him, so I am naturally measured and will not indulge in it." ”

Sun Youyou nodded yes, and ordered someone to send the dice to explain the gameplay to Zhao Che and Shen Bai in detail.

The dice were beautifully made, and there were a few bright red dots on the white jade face, and the color difference was very large, as if it had magical power, attracting people's attention to it.

Shen Bai couldn't participate, Sun Youyou bet against Zhao Che, and the two shook the dice separately, and then compared the size of the points.

Zhao Che shook it a few times at will, and the points were greater than Sun Youyou, and Sun Youyou was not ambiguous, so he asked people to take the silver to Zhao Che, and pretended to praise it very sincerely: "Your luck is really good, it should be a noble numerology, with your own wealth, no matter where you do, you can make a big difference." ”

This kind of thing is something that everyone likes to hear.

However, Zhao Che has heard too much flattery since he was a child, and he has no feeling of immunity, but Shen Bai was stunned for a while, and said eagerly: "Yes, yes, yes, yes, he will make great achievements in the future." ”

Zhao Che hooked his lips slightly, as if he was attracted by this game, and played with Sun Youyou for a long time.

The two of them won and lost, but the main thing was that Zhao Che won more, he not only won back the twenty taels of silver that Shen Bai lost, but also won a lot of money from Sun Youyou.

As the sky got dark, Sun Youyou took the initiative to remind the two that it was time to go home.

Zhao Che took a piece of silver and gave it to Shen Bai, and returned the rest to Sun Youyou, and took Shen Bai out of the gambling house.

Shen Bai was afraid that Zhao Che would be angry at first, but now that Zhao Che was in the same league with her, she relaxed a lot.

The carriage sent her to the Taifu Mansion, Shen Bai slipped out of the carriage, Zhao Che stopped her, and said softly: "That place is very fun today, don't go alone in the future, come with me when you want to go." ”

"But His Highness is very busy,......" Shen Bai hesitated, and Zhao Che interrupted her and said, "I have my own measure, you just do what I say." ”

"Hmm!"

Shen Bai nodded and went home happily.

It's fun to play alone, but it's a little more fun to have one more person.

At the end of the test, the master left homework for everyone to do, Shen Bai only took five days to finish it, she was itching, she secretly went back to the gambling house, lost penniless, in order to transfer, she could only ask Zhao Che for help.

Wei Li survived the winter, and his body gradually improved, and Zhao Che went to the gambling house with Shen Bai twice under the pretext of going out to see him.

He shook the dice well, basically winning money, and Sun Youyou quickly introduced him to a new way to play.

Gambling stones.

This method came from the side of Donghengguo, after all, there are more gems over there.

Gambling on stones is a riskier activity than rolling dice, and the stones that come out may be wasted, may be defective, and if you want to open a very top-level jade, this luck is even rarer.

Sun Youyou first used some ordinary jade to practice for Zhao Che, and Zhao Che opened three, one waste, one ordinary jade, and one Hetian jade with okay condition.

Zhao Che was still more interested in this, and only enjoyed the happiness of opening the jade, and he didn't want the stone to be opened, so he gave it to Sun Youyou.

Sun Youyou became more and more sure that Zhao Che's family had money, and he was very attentive to Zhao Che and Shen Bai, and found an appropriate time to tell them that on the day of Halloween, they would prepare a gambling stone party, where not only gambling stones, but also some rare treasures would be auctioned, if they were interested, they could go and have a look.

As soon as Shen Bai heard this, one hundred and twenty people were willing to participate.

There was a sacrifice in the palace on Halloween, and Zhao Che wasn't sure if he had time, so he didn't respond directly, but he still took the post given by Sun Youyou.

On the way back, Shen Bai kept pestering Zhao Che to agree to participate, but Zhao Che refused, which also made Shen Bai die, if he couldn't leave the palace that day, Shen Bai didn't want to go alone.

Shen Bai was not satisfied with this result, and when he went home, he drooped his head.

Zhao Che did not leave the palace in the next few days, on the day of the Ghost Festival, there was indeed a sacrifice in the palace, and there was a fire on the Chinese New Year's Eve of Chenshu Palace, and Emperor Hengde felt guilty and took him to the imperial tomb.

Zhao Che didn't rest much after a busy day, and didn't rest until the evening.

The gambling stone meeting was carried out at night, and knowing that he could still catch up, Zhao Che still changed into a casual costume and left the palace, and asked the Praetorian Guards to quietly go to the Taifu Mansion to bring Shen Bai out.

Shen Bai had been looking forward to Zhao Che taking her to the Gambling Stone Club, dressed up beautifully, and the Praetorian Guards went in and quickly brought people out.

As soon as he got in the car, Shen Bai said doggedly: "Your Highness, you are so handsome today!" ”

Zhao Che knew what she was thinking, so he didn't eat it, and made a serious appointment with her for three chapters, so that she would be obedient and obedient, and she couldn't cause trouble when she went there for a while, and she had to listen to his instructions.

In order to join in the fun, Shen Bai agreed to any conditions.

The two of them took a carriage to the east of the city, and it took almost half an hour to get to the gambling stone club.

They were a little late, and the gambling stone meeting had already begun.

The gambling stone will be selected in the east of the city Qingling Lake, the lake usually has nothing, but here it is full of stalls, there are several painting boats in the lake, the lights are reflected on the lake, lively and extraordinary.

Zhao Che was a little surprised, the gambling stone would be bigger than he imagined, and it would almost catch up with the temple fair.

When they entered, they were given masks, which were very much in line with today's solar terms, and they were painted with various paints, which looked particularly hideous and terrifying in the dim light.

Zhao Che didn't believe in ghosts and gods, put on the mask, and was then grabbed by Shen Bai's hand.

Shen Bai wore a hanged ghost mask, and only a pair of wet, somewhat dazed eyes emerged from the hole in the mask.

She wanted to join in the fun, but she was a little scared.

Still a child.

Zhao Che grabbed her hand and asked, "Scared?" ”

Of course, Shen Bai refused to admit it at this time, grabbed his hand and said, "With you, I won't be afraid." ”

Zhao Che didn't speak again, and pulled her into the bazaar of the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk.

She's right, there's nothing to be afraid of with him.

Since it is a gambling stone fair, everything in the market is not sold, but obtained by gambling, and different stall owners ask for different bets.

Shen Bai was still scared at first, but then she suppressed her fear with curiosity, she turned around and looked at a jade gourd with exquisite workmanship, the jade gourd was only the size of a palm, and it was estimated that it would be a few taels of silver if it was sold normally. ”

Shen Bai only used money to make bets, and he had never heard such an outrageous request, so his eyes immediately widened, and he said angrily: "I sincerely want this gourd, how can you do this?" ”

There was a mask to cover it, and the stall owner was not afraid, he looked at Shen Bai and said faintly: "I also sincerely want a finger, this is a gambling stone club, what can't I do?" ”

The words fell, and a scream suddenly came out not far away.

Everyone looked up, and one of them laughed maniacally: "Hahaha, I won, this trick is mine." ”

Shen Bai was attracted, pulled Zhao Che to walk over there, and when he got closer, he found that there was a person lying on the ground covered in blood, not knowing whether he was dead or alive, while the other person opened the bag with a frenzied look and took out a pile of white paper from it.

After seeing the pile of white paper, the man's eyes widened, and then his facial muscles twitched, his face was full of horror, and he muttered, "Why not?" How could there not be? ”

After saying that, two people dressed in black and wearing black and white masks of impermanence stepped forward, covered his mouth and nose and dragged him away.

Shen Bai was subconsciously scared, grabbed Zhao Che's hand and asked, "What are they playing again?" ”
