"Congratulations to Zuo Xiang, you have to be an Oiran flower slave!" Qi Tang smiled and read out the name on the note, and while Zhao Hai breathed a sigh of relief, a young and beautiful little lady next to him suddenly cried with joy, and wiped her tears sideways.

"It's back to the Hou!" Zhao Hai rubbed his hands and reached into the clay pot, stirred back and forth in it for half a minute, and finally took out a paper ball and handed it to Shen Gongyan next to him.

Shen Gongyan opened it and took a look at it and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Jianchenghou, you have to be the little lady of Oiran Su!" ”

"Returned to the left and caught!" Next to him, an old man wearing a brocade robe, gray hair, and an age similar to Zhao Hai smiled and bowed to Chen Xu.

"Good!" Chen Xu nodded slightly, put his hand into the clay pot and got a paper ball, hesitated for a moment and did not take it out, but said to Jiancheng Hou with a smile: "Ben Hou actually likes Lin Xian'er the most, but it is better to build Hou ......."

"Hey, how can the left minister change his hexagram temporarily!"

Before Chen Xu finished speaking, a group of people around him shook their heads like rattles, including Meng Yi, who widened their eyes and rolled their eyes with disdain.

Bo opera has existed since ancient times, as the Great Qin people who love this traditional activity very much, no matter how high or low they are, they love to gamble, so they also abide by the rules of gambling very much.

Words must be believed, deeds must be fruitful, this is the basic principle of people in this era.

Although Chen Xu is the imperial master, he can't go back on his word.

So generally speaking, the more powerful people are, the less they like to gamble with others casually, unless they are forced to do so, such as Li Si back then, he was forced by Chen Xu to have no way out to accept, and Chen Xu was a single person at that time, and only by overthrowing Li Si could he have a chance to continue Daqin's life, so he would be so aggressive.

The poorer they are, the more they love to gamble and swear, because they have nothing to lose, just like rebellion, a group of hungry people say that if they rebel, they will rebel, and they will start with a knife and a flag, because they can still use this life, in case they succeed.

The so-called gambling mentality is probably like this.

But for people of Chen Xu and Zhao Hai's status, it is okay to play mahjong and fight landlords, if they gamble with their lives, it is absolutely impossible, unless there is a temptation to surpass the power and wealth.

For example, when the princes are emperors or something.

This is the case with Zhao Hai right now.

Under the temptation of Hu Hai's blank edict, Zhao Hai joined a gamble that risked his life...... Kill the head, now that he has been on the thief ship, it is difficult to go down, after all, he has read the blank edict for more than half a year, and now it is too late to tell the emperor, as long as Hu Hai confesses, he will not be able to escape the charge of rebellion, so Zhao Hai can only go all the way to the dark now.

Although he also wanted to entrap Chen Xu, but in the case that Chen Xu was not good at hooking up, Lin Xian'er's effect on him was obvious, and the group of princes and princes around him were all salivating for Lin Xian'er, so that he could use Lin Xian'er as a bait to constantly understand the thoughts of these people.

Most of these people are noble, although they have no power at the moment, but their families are deeply rooted in Great Qin, and there are always some members who are still in the court or the three provinces and six tribes.

For example, the old man who just spoke was Wenjing Hou Yao Cuo.

His father is the former prime minister Yao Jia, although he was born lowly, but with his own ability, he destroyed the original plan of Zhao, Chu, Han and Wei to jointly attack Qin, so he was reused by Qin Shi Huang, and was named the marquis of a thousand households, Shangqing, and also appointed the post of prime minister, and many princes and ministers of the dynasty are old acquaintances.

After Yao Jia died, Yao Coo inherited the marquis, although he did not become an official, but his connections were still deep, and the people who came and went were all important ministers and marquis, such as the five doctors Zhao Ying, the five doctors Yang Xu, Taishi Ling Hu Wujing, etc., these people are all officials in the court, although they have not climbed to the point of one or two products, but there are still a lot of three and four products in the court.

Just as Feng Quji said to his son Feng Jing, if there is no great merit, it is impossible for the people of these families to have the opportunity to seal the center of authority of the secretary, but the positions of the three provinces and six ministries such as the acting officer Cao Ling can still be held safely.

Therefore, if you can entrap a large number of these middle-level officials, and secretly promise marquis or even marquis, there must still be a great possibility of things.

I didn't know it when I was sitting in a well and watching the sky before, but after being tossed by Qinghe Hou for so many years, everyone's eyes suddenly brightened.

The world is so big, I want to go and see it, I must have more or less thoughts, so it is not unattainable to support a son who can give himself this opportunity to come to power, and to build a country and become a marquis.

Therefore, Zhao Hai naturally needs to actively plan and prepare for his own forces.

If the emperor had set up a crown prince in advance, it would have been fine, but if not, then this force would have become the key to his success.

Although he didn't know what Chen Xu thought, he thought that as long as most people recognized the validity of Hu Hai's edict and gave Chen Xu enough honor when the time came, I believe that Chen Xu would not be particularly resistant.

Unless Chen Xu also wants to be the emperor.

But from the current point of view, Chen Xu doesn't seem to have this plan, because he has heard the First Emperor talk to him several times when he mentioned that the Marquis of Qinghe proposed to establish a prince as soon as possible, which shows that Chen Xu has no ambition to be the emperor.

"Haha, Zuo Xiang and Hai have an agreement, how can this matter be reversed?" Seeing that a group of people were against Chen Xu's words, Zhao Hai also laughed heartily.

"Alas, I knew that Miss Lin was so talented, so Xu would have spent more money to buy it, or not, Xu didn't regret it, it would be ......" Chen Xu shook his head and took his hand out of the clay pot, spread out his palm, and sent a paper ball to Qi Tang next to him.

Qi Tang quickly opened it, but shook his head with a slight regret: "This is a blank lot, and the left phase missed!" ”

"Alas~" Chen Xu leaned back in the chair and sighed.

"It's mine!" Zhao Hai hurriedly put his hand into the clay pot, stirred it back and forth a few times, and then took out a paper ball and handed it to Shen Gongyan.

"Congratulations to Jianhou, the little lady of Ximen!"

"Alas~" Zhao Hai waved his hand dejectedly, "It's time for the left minister!" ”

Chen Xu stretched out his hand to grab the last time, but his hand reached the mouth of the jar and suddenly stopped, many people thought that Chen Xu wanted to bring up the old thing again, so someone immediately smiled and said: "Zuo Xiang just grab the lot, today's gambling contract has been decided, don't make extraneous branches, otherwise I won't play mahjong with Zuo Xiang in the future!" ”

"Haha, it's extreme, it's extreme, Zuo Xiang catch it quickly, and there are two lots, just look at who Lin Xian'er belongs to!"

"Yes, I'm looking forward to it, which one wins, and I will definitely go to cheer more after that!"

A group of people immediately echoed and urged.

"It's not that Xu wants to make a difference, but I feel that my luck is quite bad today, and the slave comes here!" Chen Xu beckoned to the first flower slave who got the lot.

"Slave listen to Master Hou's orders!" Hua Nu'er hurriedly knelt down and said.

"Ben Hou, this last lot, you come to catch it for me!" Chen Xu pointed to the clay pot, and then turned his head to look at a circle of middle-aged and elderly hooligans with unshaven beards, "Xu is not a violation of the gambling contract by doing this!" ”

"Uh, it doesn't count!" Meng Yi and a group of marquis shook their heads one after another.

"That's fine, slave catch!" Chen Xu nodded.

"Slaves don't dare!" Hua Nu'er's face turned white with fright.

This grasp is simple, but if you can't catch Lin Xian'er, I'm afraid that life and death will be unpredictable.

"Don't worry, no matter who you catch, you won't blame." Chen Xu said with a smile.

"Let you catch it, it's so cowardly, rest assured, there are many nobles to testify today, and the wrong Hou Ye will not punish you!" Meng Yi urged.

In fact, Meng Yi has been kept in the dark until now, since Chen Xu changed his method last time, he left him aside, today is the time to see, he is very curious about how Chen Xu can blatantly stuff this Chunfang Garden if he catches Lin Xian'er in his hands, unless Chen Xu is really greedy for Lin Xian'er's appearance and wants to take it for himself.

But according to what he knew about his son-in-law, money, beauty, fame and fortune could hardly shake his decision.

This son-in-law wants money and money, power and power, and women and women, although Lin Xian'er is proficient in piano, chess, singing and dancing, and her figure and appearance are also superior, but compared to Chen Xu's own wives and concubines, she does not have any advantages, whether it is her daughter Meng Wan, or Liezi's disciple Shui Qingrou, or the royal daughter Ying Shiyan, her temperament and appearance are not under Lin Xian'er, especially Fan Caiying, the amazing performance of trespassing in the court at the beginning has now become a matter that the whole Xianyang talks about, and countless princes and princes are moved, Even the emperor praised his beauty.

Therefore, on the whole, Chen Xu is not very tempted by Lin Xian'er.

Therefore, this made Meng Yi even more curious.

"Catch it, it's okay!" Under Chen Xu's encouragement, Hua Nu'er finally mustered up her courage, her little hands trembled slightly and leaned into the clay pot, and after a short hesitation, she gritted her teeth and grabbed a paper ball, and held it with both hands to present it to Chen Xu.

"Master Hou, the slave has been caught!"

"It's better for Qi Fu Ling to help read it!" Chen Xu turned his head to look at Qi Tang.

Qi Tang didn't shirk it, picked up the paper ball and unfolded it, and instantly arched his hand with a smile on his face and said: "Congratulations to Zuo Xiang, the leader Lin Xian'er!" ”

"Hahahaha~" Chen Xu stood up with a hearty laugh, hugged Lin Xian'er who was standing next to him in his arms, looked at Zhao Hai triumphantly and said: "Sai Weng lost his horse, he didn't know if he was blessed, he was built Hou Mo Monster, and the fairy girl belonged to my Qinghe Garden!" ”

"Alas~" This time it was Zhao Hai's turn to sigh, waved his hand to let people take away the clay pot, stood up and said, "Since the bet is over, a few Oiran will stay, and the owners of the garden will also go back for the time being, and someone will send money to you Quyuan tomorrow!" ”

"Yes, I'll retire!" Several garden owners didn't dare to say much, and bowed in unison and left.

"The slave has made a great contribution to Benhou, Benhou will reward you heavily today, let's go, go back to Qinghe Garden with Benhou!" Chen Xu hugged a beautiful and delicate little lady in his left and right hands, and was in a happy mood and ready to go home.

"Hey, don't be in a hurry, the gambling contract is the gambling contract, if you come to Benhou's Quyuan and don't eat the banquet, you want to leave!" Zhao Hai grabbed Chen Xu's arm, his eyes fell on Lin Xian'er, who was snuggled in Chen Xu's arms, and his face trembled slightly, and he instantly smiled and said loudly.

"That's it, how can Zuo Xiang leave without a banquet, since I won Lin Xian'er, I will go to Qinghe Garden in the evening, and ask Miss Xian'er to play a few beautiful music for me, and Hou Ye will naturally invite another meal!"

"Exactly, Master Hou has a fairy girl, you must have a treat!"

"It's better to ask me to wait to shoot at the shooting range, the musket is much more fun than the little lady!"

After Zhao Hai and a group of princes were enthusiastically retained, Chen Xu did not shirk too much, sat down and continued to drink tea and chat with a group of people, and soon the wine and delicacies were sent to the table like flowing water, and a group of honorable princes and princes sat around the table, and a group of flowery Oiran dancers continued to sing and dance on the central dance floor.
