Chapter 236: The Holy Hand
When Qi Yao asked the maid to walk to the study with the soup, the guards guarding the door were about to pass the message, but they were stopped by Qi Shao, as Qin Yao said, even the four emperor brothers were already idle, and the concubine, as a third-grade official, why was he busier than a prince.
Therefore, this time the soup is sent with the intention of reconciliation, and in the name of sending the soup, let's see what this horse master is busy with day by day.
Qi Shao walked in with the soup himself, and saw that Mu Sheng was really studying something at the desk, Qi Shao stepped forward, Mu Sheng raised his head when he heard the voice, and saw that it was Qi Shao, and he was still holding a tray in his hand.
Mu Sheng immediately walked out from behind the desk and said with a smile: "Princess, let the next person deliver these things, why do you need to come in person?" ”
Qi Shao handed the soup to Mu Sheng and said with a smile: "Recently, you have worked so hard as a concubine, as your wife, I naturally have to care about you." ”
Qi Shao stepped forward as he walked and said, "Donkey, what have you been busy with lately?" ”
Mu Sheng hurriedly put the tray on the tea table, ran over in a few clicks, and put away all the things he was looking at, Qi Shao was a little dissatisfied, Mu Sheng explained to Qi Yao after putting the things away.
"Princess, this is all a task given to me by my father, this is all a secret, my father has said it, no one can read it."
Qi Shao was a little happy at this time, and said: "Okay, since my father said that no one can watch it, then I won't watch it, let's go, let's go and drink soup, you see that you have lost a lot of weight recently." ”
Mu Sheng pulled Qi to shake down, the two sat down, Mu Sheng opened the food box, took out the soup bowl, sniffed it and said with a smile: "The soup sent by the princess is really fragrant." ”
Qi Shao said deliberately: "What about the decoction medicine sent by the Lord of Lingqin?" Who's more fragrant? ”
Seeing that Mu Sheng was about to preach again, Qi Shao had no choice but to say: "Don Ma, I'm teasing you, it was my fault to knock down the decoction sent by the Lord of Lingqin County that time, can I apologize to you?" It is said that it was the medicine sent by the lord of Lingqin County to prevent the epidemic, and now I already know that I regret it, can you forgive me? ”
Mu Sheng smiled and said: "Princess, I am also at fault in this matter, but I have been really busy recently, ignoring you, I promise you, when this time is over, we will go to the White Horse Temple to see, okay?" ”
Qi shook his head, and Mu Sheng continued: "Since the princess doesn't like me to go to the Guogong Mansion all the time, then I will go less, don't be angry with yourself, you know?" ”
When Qi Shao heard Mu Sheng's assurance, he was moved and delighted, so he asked, "Do you still want to stay in the study tonight?" ”
Mu Sheng replied: "Princess, I have been living in the study recently because I have something important to deal with, and when I finish this matter, don't worry, I will definitely go back to the room to sleep." ”
Qi Shao saw that Mu Sheng's face was not very good-looking, and knew that what he said would not be a lie, so he said: "Then donkey, you will hurry up after drinking the soup to deal with official business, remember to rest well, do you know?" If my father has given you too many official duties, I will go into the palace and talk to my father. ”
Mu Sheng said: "Princess, my father is willing to give me more things, which means that my father believes in my ability, doesn't it?" If you do, what will happen to me? And I can handle this matter, you can rest assured, you can go back and rest early. ”
Qi Shao nodded, and when Mu Sheng finished drinking the soup, in order to let Mu Sheng rest early, Qi Shao directly offered his farewell.
The powerful big girl beside Qi Shao, seeing that Qi Shao's face looked much better and his mood was better, asked, "Princess, you are so happy, have you told the horse child something?" ”
Qi shook his head and said, "Recently, my father has given a lot of errands to the horse, and he is tired enough, I want to talk about it when he is a little more relaxed." ”
Qin Biao here, when he returned to the house, he thought that he hadn't seen Qi Hongxin for a long time, so he was about to go and have a look, but he was stopped by Qingping as soon as he arrived at the study. ”
Qi Hongxin is in the study, very irritable, no matter what happens on weekdays, he can read with peace of mind, but now he can't, he doesn't know, why Ling'er has to be so decisive, he would rather disobey the holy decree than get out of the marriage, is it in Ling'er's heart, is there really no place for him?
Wen Ling's side is also a little uncomfortable, if it weren't for Qi Hongxin's recent hard pressing, she wouldn't want to say those words, if it weren't for the fact that she didn't have much time, as Xiaolian said, she would get all the happiness when she entered the Wenwang Mansion.
But it is precisely because her time is short, and it is precisely because she has lost that she can especially experience the pain of loss, that feeling is worse than death, she has done enough evil, she doesn't want to hurt the people she cares about, but Qi Hongxin is pressing step by step, she has to say some cruel words to put an end to all the illusions that Qi Hongxin has about her.
Wen Ling decided to quickly settle everything in the capital, so that she could leave here directly.
Qi Hongxin stayed alone in the study, and suddenly a man in black jumped in from the window, and the person who came rolled over, rolled to Qi Hongxin's desk, knelt down on one knee and saluted: "My subordinates meet the master." ”
Qi Hongxin didn't raise his head and asked, "Is there a result of that incident?" ”
Someone came to present a note to Qi Hongxin, and Qi Hongxin took it and looked at it, it said that robbing the people's daughter, bullying the girl to kill her father, gambling like life, the most important thing is to pay off the gambling debts with the disaster money of the greedy household department, as long as this matter is known by the father, let alone Wang Hao, it is the palace, and no one wants to escape.
Qi Hongxin sneered, God really helped him, he didn't believe it, with this handle, this Wang Hao was so incompetent, he wanted to see if this Lord Wang wanted to protect his son.
Qi Hongxin instructed the black-clothed man below: "Go and find something for the second prince of Wang, it's best to let him commit it in my hands, but don't let others know." ”
The man in black was ordered to retreat, this rare piece of good news, Qi Hongxin finally had a little comfort in his heart.
At night, the famous 'holy hand' in the capital, if the 'spring/love pavilion' is the first green building in the capital, then this 'holy hand' is the first gambling building in the capital, compared with the green building, are all men's gold holes.
The lively 'holy hand' is messy, there are all kinds of voices, all kinds of "buy big and buy small" and all kinds of scolding voices, everyone here is a gambler, so, as long as there is money, everything is a trivial matter, even if the quality of people is here, even if they are all humble gentlemen outside, they are all restored to their original state here.
Bypassing the crowd and seeing the main table, an opener is constantly shouting "buy big and buy small, buy and leave, buy and make a fortune" This sentence is like a demagogic spell, so that this group of gamblers bet money into it again and again, and those who lose want to win back, and those who win want to win a little more, which is the psychology of gamblers.
When the opening hand put the plug cup on the table, and said the sentence "buy big and buy small, buy and leave, buy and make a fortune", the man looked at the few chips left in his hand, gritted his teeth and closed his eyes and pushed all the chips to the 'bet big'.
The man was very nervous, he lost a lot of money, he felt that the last fight, as long as he bet, he could turn over, and he could also make up for all the money that had been embezzled, before that, he had bet ten 'small' in a row and the results were all big, and now, this last one, he must be able to bet, he must win, otherwise he will die.
The onlookers also have some impressions of this young man who often enters the 'holy hand', and they all know that he has lost ten 'small' things in a row, and this opener has opened ten 'big' in a row, this time, is it 'big'? It's not just young people, it's everyone else who is curious.
Looking at the hand of the opener, little by little to take away the plug, everyone held their breath, the young man was even more, but unfortunately, in the slow and accepted the reality of the day, when the opener completely exposed the plug in front of people, the 'three, five, six' opened, the people who watched the play only felt that this young man was really unlucky, but the young man suddenly collapsed.
This is his last money, this is his last hope, he is finished, his father will definitely give up on him this time, no, he can't be the abandoned son of the family, he can't, what's the difference between this and sending him to die?
Just as the young man was in despair, there was a commotion at the door of the 'Holy Hand', and a group of people looked up and saw a boy in a dark robe, walking from the door of the 'Holy Hand'.
There are five or six bodyguards in front of him, and there are a lot of people like the 'Holy Hand', and there are many rich sons in the capital, but there are not many people who come here to play and wear masks, which makes everyone a little curious, who is the person who came.
People soon went straight to the main table here, since the 'holy hand' dared to say that he was the first gambling visit in the capital, naturally he had the first reason, the 'holy hand' is divided into many tables, from the door to the main table, the card table is different, the more it is leaning in, the more it is blocked, so even the poor people can come in to gamble.
Other tables can be played by many people, but this main table is the first hand of the 'holy hand' to open the game in person, one-on-one, so this is why the main table is much more expensive.
Even if many people in the capital are inconvenient to show up and wear masks, everyone also guarantees that they have never seen this son, this newcomer, the first time he comes, he will go to the main table, which makes the onlookers even more curious.
I saw that the man's six guards drove the crowd away, and everywhere the man went, it was all empty, although the spectators were a little dissatisfied with this behavior, but there are many nobles in this capital, and the one who dares to act like this is not rich and powerful?
