"Min Yeon gave her grandfather and grandmother a New Year's greeting, wishing her grandmother a happy New Year and good health."

Yu Guogong was thin, full of silver hair, with a pinch of gray beard on his chin, and sat there with a solemn face.

The old lady Yu Li also has gray hair, but her cheeks are round, and she has a kind look with a smile, which makes people want to be close.

The old lady smiled and handed over the red seal containing the New Year's money and said, "It's good to come, I heard a few days ago that you were in distress in Luanshan, how is it, are you injured?" ”

"It's a little scratched, so my grandmother doesn't have to worry."

When she was injured, although Yu Fu sent someone to send something, there was no serious master in Manfu to see it, and Min Yan felt that Yu Fu was just a face-saving favor for her.

If it weren't for the Empress Dowager De above, I'm afraid I wouldn't have disdained this little face!

I also gave New Year's greetings to a few aunts and sisters, and got a few red envelopes.

Seeing that Min Yan was faint, the old lady felt that Min Yan must have a grudge in her heart.

sighed and said, "Minyan, it's not that your grandfather doesn't feel sorry for you, it's that we ......"

"Ahem" The old man didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and he coughed twice in a row, interrupting the old lady's words.

The old lady pursed her lips and glanced at Yu Guogong.

dismissed a few daughters-in-law, turned back to Minyan and said, "The cousins are playing in the back garden, Minyan should go find them!" ”

Then he ordered the big girl next to him to lead the way.

"Yes."

The girl opened the curtain and Minyan went out, and as soon as she arrived at the door, she heard the dissatisfied voice of the old lady, "Dead old man, what cough, Minyan is so old, what's wrong with me muttering two sentences?" ”

"She can't hide things in her heart, if you read a few sentences here, everyone will know about it, you are really going back and forth."

"Phew, you can hide and tuck, I'll see how long you can hold it until you hide it......"

As they drifted apart, she couldn't hear what the two said.

In the back garden, a few plum trees are planted next to the Taihu Lake rockery, and a few points of red are hanging on the branches.

Three young women are playing and composing poems around the red plum trees.

Yu Guogong has three sons and one daughter, the eldest is older than the heir has two sons, 20-year-old Yu Changxing, and 18-year-old Yu Changming.

The second is Yu Chengshi, a daughter and a son, respectively seventeen-year-old Yu Jingning and sixteen-year-old Yu Changxian.

The third is the eldest daughter, Minyan's mother, Yu Hewan.

The fourth is Yu Chengbo, and there is a daughter, thirteen-year-old Yu Jingyi.

Yu Jingning is the same year as Minyan, but she is a month older than her, so Minyan wants to call her cousin.

At this time, it was the three sisters under the tree.

"Cousin and cousin are so interested, on such a cold day, go here to see a few inconspicuous plum blossoms."

The youngest Yu Jingyi was just about to speak, but was stopped by Yu Jingning.

"Sister has nothing to do, just take a look, cousin is afraid of the cold, so let's go to the warm pavilion and sit down!"

"It's okay, along the way, I froze to death."

Yu Jingxin couldn't help but look at her, the cotton clothes were all dressed as balls and it was still cold?

Entering the warm pavilion, a stream of heat rushed in, and several charcoal basins were placed in the inconspicuous corners.

There were also pens and inks on the table, and it seemed that when she didn't come, the three of them were writing poems and drawing.

Yu Guogongfu's usual style, what a woman can do, that's it.

It's just that when I thought of the few words I heard when I just came out of my grandmother's house, I felt that Yu Fu didn't seem to be so rigid, otherwise how would my grandmother dare to talk to my grandfather like that.

Minyan was distracted for a while, and Yu Jingning had already ordered the girl to clean up her things, serve another pot of hot tea, and a few snacks.

When her body warmed up, the pothos took off Min-yeon's big coat, and Min-yeon walked to the cushion and sat down.

Several people bowed their heads to drink tea, and Minyan pinched the horseshoe cake and took a bite.

They all only care about eating and drinking, no one speaks, it's not that people don't want to speak, and they are all scared by Minyan, they are interested in Minyan is not interested, and they have to taunt them.

Min Yeon is interested, they don't understand, they will be ridiculed again, and over time, they can only sit dry.

It's just that sitting like this is not a solution, Min Yan wanted to have a good relationship with a few girls in the Guogong Mansion, so she proposed, "Otherwise, let's play horse hanging!" ”

The three sisters of the Yu family looked at each other, and Yu Jingxin said, "Mother doesn't let you play." ”

Yu Jingyi said, "Yes, they all said that it was played by people who were not doing their jobs, and the girl's family, it was the right way to do more needlework and honor the elders." ”

Min Yan pursed her lips and smiled, "That's all a lie to you, I can see a lot of ladies and misses, the horse hanging is very good, we sit left and right, and it won't be in the way for a while." ”

As he spoke, he asked Camellia to bring the things.

There was a table of small squares carved from jade, and various patterns were carved on them.

Yu Jingyi said, "This is exquisite, how to play?" ”

Min Yan said, "I'll teach you a few games first, and when you know, we'll play silver." ”

Yu Jingyi hesitated a little, "I still have to play with money, so what should I do if I lose?" ”

Min Yan said indifferently, "Don't worry, it doesn't matter if you lose, it's just a matter of a few taels of silver." ”

As soon as she heard that it was only a few taels of silver, Yu Jingyi was suddenly not afraid, she was almost 1,000 taels of money for the New Year, a few taels of silver, it was really not a thing.

Yu Jingning frowned, feeling that what Min Yan took the initiative to teach them must not be so simple.

But I don't know what's wrong, and I still think that if I lose too much, it's a big deal not to play.

But she didn't know that this thing was gambling/gambling, and it would be addictive, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people who would have gone bankrupt for it.

Minyan taught them a few times, told them all the rules, and finally said, "Look, it's not difficult, you can learn it as soon as you learn it." ”

Yu Jingyi's excited little face turned red, "It's quite interesting, I haven't started yet, I can welcome it, if this is money, then how much should I win?" ”

Min Yan said: "We are three people, one person will give you two taels." ”

Hearing this, Yu Jingyi's face was full of pity, and she was eager to try, she had just won money when she played, and she would definitely not lose if she really played money.

Min Yan said, "Okay, it's time to come to the official now, let's not come to the complicated one, I can't understand it with you, just two taels, no matter how much, if you lose, you will pay two taels of silver to the one who wins, okay." ”

"Okay."

"Yes."

"Hurry up and get started."

The three of them touched the small card Kaka, and even Yu Jingning was wary at the beginning, thinking that this thing was like this.

After a few handfuls, Minyan lost more and won less, and after calculation, she lost fifty taels.

But Yu Jingxin, who was silent, won the most.

Yu Jingning did not lose or win, and just kept his capital.

Yu Jingyi also won a few taels.

Yu Jingyi felt that it took so long to win a few taels of silver, and Min Yan only lost more than forty taels at most.

Then he proposed to increase the amount, Min Yan thought, "I've been losing money, if it's increasing, I won't lose more?" ”

Yu Jingyi said, "Hey, it's okay, there are losses and wins, now that you lose, maybe you will win back after a while." ”

The ideal is that if you increase the amount, then you will double your win, and you will have the money to buy the head of Yumanlou.

"Then you say, how much is appropriate?"

"It's not much, just add it to ten taels!"

"Ten taels, will it be too much?"

"Not much, not much, even if it is ten, it is only a hundred taels of silver, hurry up, you don't ink."

Min Yan looked at her, she only felt that she wanted to laugh, she had the potential to be a little gambler at such a young age, it seems that the ancestral training of the Yu family has not been learned well!

Yu Jingning felt that something was wrong, but seeing that Yu Jingyi was so excited so early, and Minyan agreed, it was not easy to say anything.

An hour later, the front yard sent a girl to call someone to eat, and Minyan had already lost five or six hundred taels.

Yu Jingyi carried a bulging little purse and said, "Let's come back after dinner, cousin can't run." ”

"Don't worry, those hundreds of cousins haven't been relieved yet."

said that he didn't feel at ease, but the painful look successfully pleased Yu Jingyi.

She felt that if Minyan had been so good, it would not be bad.
