Chapter 561: The Gambling Stick
When Lan Ziyi came out of the palace, it was already afternoon, and after meeting with the father and son of the enemy family, the three of them rode back to the mansion.
Back in the deer park, Lan Ziyi and the father and son of the Qiu family dismounted and handed over the horses to the servants waiting in front of the door.
After Lan Ziyi entered the door, he first took the towel handed by the lady to wipe the sweat on his face, and said with a smile:
"Since Yue'er came to the house, I only know what it's like to be served, whether it is in Saibei or in the capital before, I do the trivial things on weekdays by myself."
Yue'er laughed when she heard this:
"Being able to serve Weihou is a blessing for the slave family, as long as you can make Weihou happy, it can be regarded as dedication."
Qiu Wenruo, who was following behind Lan Ziyi, also took a towel and wiped his hands and face, and when Lan Ziyi spoke, he was about to take a piece of watermelon to eat to quench his thirst, after hearing the conversation between Lan Ziyi and Yue'er, Qiu Wenruo put the melon back on the plate, and said to Lan Ziyi with a straight face:
"From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift. Weihou's thrift is a rare good thing, how can he get drunk in the gentle country because he tastes the sweetness of serving others, and leave his good habits behind? ”
Hearing this, Lan Ziyi hurriedly turned around, he changed his color and thanked Qiu Wenruo:
"Mr. Wen Ruo's persuasion is reasonable, and Ziyi is very ashamed."
When Yue'er heard this, she also handed over the ice crystal in her hand to the lady on the side, and then accompanied Lan Ziyi to do it together, she thanked:
"Mr. is as sharp as an arrow, and every sentence hits me, the slave family is so scared.
Mr. is so outspoken and daring, he really deserves to be the minister of the Marquis of Wei. It's just that Yue'er doesn't quite understand that Mr. Wen Ruo has suffered so much, why did he pick up the watermelon and put it in his mouth just now? ”
Yue'er smiled like the moon when she spoke, and her tone was tactful, Qiu Wenruo's actions just now were jokingly pointed out by Yue'er, which suddenly formed a sharp contrast with his chiseled words to persuade Lan Ziyi, and it looked sour and rotten.
Qiu Wenruo was so red with a smile from Yue'er that he couldn't raise his head, and Qiu Xiaozhi, who was eating melons, smiled at the changes in the wind and clouds, and didn't mean to go to this troubled water at all. Fortunately, Lan Ziyi came forward in time to alleviate the embarrassment of the scene, and he said:
Tian Wen once said: Those who can promote the name of the text and stop the text, although they have private treasures, they are in a hurry! Meng Weijun can still be humble and admonishable, without asking the source, am I not even comparable to the ancients? Mr. Wen Ruo said well, I should listen and thank you. ”
Then Lan Ziyi put on a smiling face and approached the moon mountain and said:
"Yue'er, you're not wrong, but don't be so extravagant in the future."
Then Lan Ziyi took Yue'er's hand and walked towards the courtyard, Qiu Xiaozhi and Qiu Wenruo's father and son changed their eyes, shook their heads with a wry smile, Lan Ziyi played fifty boards each like this, which is equal to thin mud, and did nothing.
When walking towards the courtyard, Lan Ziyi instructed the surrounding servants:
"Tell the kitchen, see what's left over from lunch, get some hot and eat, I'm hungry."
The servant on the side took the order and left, and Yueshan asked curiously:
"Didn't Wei Hou have lunch?"
Lan Ziyi said:
"I'm too lazy to eat out, so I want to come back and eat and rest."
Then Lan Ziyi said:
"Anyway, after coming out of the Li Mansion, I rushed to the palace in a hurry, Yue'er, you didn't greet me outside the palace, how can you calculate when I will come back?"
Moon Mountain smiled:
"It was my father who asked me to come back early to prepare something to serve the marquis, so I didn't wait for the marquis outside the palace. Dad gave me news that when Wei Hou will leave the palace, I naturally calculate when Wei Hou will come back. ”
Lan Ziyi was shocked when he heard this, although he knew that Yueshan and Yu Gonggong must have a connection, but he didn't expect the connection to be so close, even when he Lan Ziyi left the palace, Yu Gonggong and Yueshan had exchanges.
Yue'er then smiled:
"It's just right that Wei Hou hasn't eaten, and the two Lang Jun of the Tao family have just come back from outside and are resting in the house, and Wei Hou can just eat and drink with a few Lang Jun."
Lan Ziyi nodded when he heard this, and then he thought for a while and asked:
"Why did the eldest brother and the third brother just come back from outside? Didn't my third brother go out to gamble? Why did you come back so early? “
Yue'er smiled:
"Then you have to ask your two elder brothers yourself, the slave family can't take care of their affairs."
When Lan Ziyi heard this, he smiled and reached out to pinch Yueshan's face and said:
"Is there anything else in this house that you don't know about Yue'er? I don't believe it. “
Talking and laughing, a few people have come to the Lanzi righteous room, and there are already servants on the side of Peach Chase Tiger and Peach Chase Rabbit who have passed the word, and after a short time, the two brothers rushed over, and when the wine and meat were together, a table of people began to eat and drink.
After eating a few bites, Tao Zhutu asked Lan Ziyi:
"Young master, why didn't you even eat when you went out?"
Tao Zhutu's face looked very tired, and his eyes were blue and black, but his spirit seemed to be very full, which made Lan Ziyi very curious. Lan Ziyi said:
"I didn't eat at the two places I visited, and I didn't want to eat outside on the way back, so I didn't eat. It's you, third brother, you finally went to the casino blatantly, why did you come back so early today? “
Peach Rabbit sighed and replied:
"At first, I thought that the young master was kind to me by letting me gamble, but now I understand that the young master is trying to make me quit gambling."
Lan Ziyi said in surprise:
"I didn't mean that, third brother, why are you talking about me like that?"
Peach Rabbit sighed:
"I had the money, I had the time, I went to the casino to gamble day and night for three days, winning or losing for the time being, and I really felt tired at the end of the game, not only tired, but also bored. And young master, you didn't let me gamble in vain, when I gambled, I had to take money to lend, distracted and enveloped others, and in the end, I didn't have the heart to put it on the card table anymore, and I was full of calculations about the tasks you arranged for me, young master. I didn't want to go to the casino again since yesterday, and when I went in, I licked my face and asked me to borrow money, and my mind was drained by these ruffians. “
Everyone at the table laughed when they heard this, and Tao Zhuhu patted the back of Tao Zhutu's head and said:
"If you don't want to go, you have to go, the young master has arranged an errand for you, you have to do a good job."
Peach Rabbit sighed again when he heard this, but didn't answer, just silently bowed his head and ate. The other people at the table saw the appearance of the frosted eggplant of the peach chasing the rabbit, and they were all amused by another round of laughter, and after laughing, Lan Ziyi said:
"Third brother, you don't always need to put money to gamble, you can also take those good ones out to eat, drink, play and hunt, it's okay, it's natural to gamble all the time, you can still make friends when you go out."
Hearing this, Peach Rabbit said:
"The young master has a point."
Lan Ziyi asked again:
"So third brother, you came back so early today because you don't want to stay in the casino."
Peach Rabbit shook his head and replied:
"That's not it, my eldest brother and I came back early today to go to the casino to fight."
Lan Ziyi asked:
"Fight?"
Peach Rabbit Road:
"yes, fights. Originally, there were their own loans in the casino, and a large part of the casino before making money was usury, but after I went, I became a fortune boy, borrowing money from people everywhere, and my hands and feet were big, and the business of the casino was ruined, and people wanted to beat me, so I called the eldest brother to beat them, and after the fight, we came back, just entered the door. “
Hearing this, Lan Ziyi carefully looked up and down the peach and the rabbit, and he said:
"Third brother, you and your eldest brother played a casino? You don't have even a single wound on you. “
Tao Zhuhu said at this time:
"It's no problem for me to go with San Lang, but the group fight requires momentum, so I borrowed a lot of people from the racecourse, anyway, those minions in the casino are not enough to see, and I will be beaten down in three or two."
Lan Ziyi smiled when he heard this:
"Oops, it looks like it won't be long before Du Jingdu is going to come to me for trouble."
At this time, Qiu Xiaozhi said:
"Wei Hou, San Lang did a good job in the casino, since we didn't come up with any good way to move Zhang Mingyue on the road just now, it is better to ask San Lang if there are any characters in the casino that we can use."
Lan Ziyi nodded when he heard this, and then he asked Tao Zhutu:
"Third brother, have you met someone in the casino who is close to the imperial history of the DPRK? It's better to have a close relationship with a nephew or brother, let me grab some handles and use them? “
Hearing this, Tao Zhutu stopped his chopsticks, touched his chin and thought about it, and then said:
"Young master, you ask so, there is really someone available."
