Chapter 66: Casino Wins

Hearing Ji Yanning say this, the two mothers-in-law laughed in their hearts.

There are so many rules in Chang'an, does she really think that she can show off if she has learned fur in a small place?

Even An wanted her to forget it, after all, the rules were cumbersome, and even the young lady of the family might not be able to make all the rules.

Ji Yanning was fearless.

As the eldest daughter of the Ying family, she has to learn far more rules than ordinary family ladies, and she must be extremely strict with her since she was a child.

The pu mat brought by Ziyu, after all, has some etiquette that requires kneeling.

That mother-in-law originally wanted to embarrass her, but since Ji Yanning opened her mouth by herself, they naturally didn't need to worry too much.

But soon they started to get nervous.

Because no matter how they come up with the question, Ji Yanning can easily deal with it, and there is no fault with the etiquette and rules they make.

From the general rules of seeing elders or peers, to meeting the royal family, even the ceremonies of joy and funeral, and the sacrificial etiquette of the family, she copes with them one by one, and even some etiquette that the An family can't react to, she can calmly respond or make it.

The two mothers-in-law wanted to embarrass her, but now it seems that they can't subdue her at all.

Even if they wanted to deliberately pick up the wrong one, but An Shi was watching from the sidelines, they couldn't do it deliberately.

Until they were speechless.

Ahn was also surprised.

This looks like a girl from the Shang clan, and she is clearly a well-cultivated lady from a family in the Dashi clan.

She said: "Okay, you two go back, you don't need you here, and our big house will be responsible for the affairs of Miss Cousin in the future, so don't worry about your mother." ”

The two mothers-in-law bowed and withdrew from the courtyard.

An Shi looked at Ji Yanning, his eyes were a little complicated.

Ji Yanning said: "My mother was also a young lady from a family, although she was born in a business family, but my mother's requirements for our sister and brother are not low. ”

Regarding Ji Yanning's explanation, An Shi was not suspicious, she also saw Liu Xi'er when she was young, and she was indeed a good girl.

An said: "You can live in peace, if the old lady makes things difficult for you again, tell your aunt that you don't have to be polite to her." ”

Ji Yanning nodded and said, "I brought an escort here, and there will be independent guards in my yard in the future, and I ask my aunt to be considerate." ”

The An family is not clear about the strength of the Ji family, only knows that it is the Jiangnan Shang family, and Ji Yanning's second and third uncles are just low-grade officials, but looking at Ji Yanning like this, this Ji family seems to have some family background.

She said: "Since this courtyard is reserved for you, others are naturally not allowed to enter without your permission." ”

Ji Yanning said: "Thank you, aunt." ”

An helped her arrange the affairs of the yard, so she let herself rest first.

The courtyard finally fell silent.

Ji Jiu arranged for someone to move everything into the courtyard, and then stepped forward to report: "Miss, Yuan Jiaojiao and Zisu have arrived at the house arranged by Steward Mo yesterday, and Steward Mo also said that the restaurant and pharmacy on the Shen family's side have been obtained, but within two months, the original shopkeeper has left, and he has selected a few people to choose from, please Miss decide." ”

Steward Mo is the steward in charge of Chang'an's business in Baochang Ji, and now that Ji Yanning has arrived in Chang'an, everything is arranged by him and Ji Jiu.

Ji Yanning shook her head, she could have guessed such a result a long time ago, and she said: "Tell him that I will personally go to Baochang Ji the day after tomorrow." ”

Ji Jiu nodded and answered yes.

Ji Yanning asked, "Has the news sent to the Dingbei Hou Mansion been delivered?"

"It's gone. Ji Jiu said, "This time should have sent the letter to the Marquis of Dingbei." ”

Xiao Jifeng died, and Xiao Shaobei, the original son of the Marquis of Dingbei, inherited the title and became the new Marquis of Dingbei.

When Ji Yanning arrived in Chang'an, except for the people in the Liu family's big house, they were very happy, and the rest of the Liu family seemed to act as if nothing had happened.

At this time, Yuan Jiaojiao was swaggering and shopping.

As long as she wears the veil, no one will recognize her face.

"Miss, let's go back. Zi Su followed closely behind Yuan Jiaojiao and said helplessly.

The eldest lady asked her to follow Yuan Jiaojiao, and also asked her to change her words, so that Yuan Jiaojiao and the eldest lady were on an equal footing and became a young lady, so she could only obey the arrangement of the eldest lady and became Yuan Jiaojiao's personal maid.

Yuan Jiaojiao put her arm on Zisu's shoulder and said, "I've been walking for so long along the way, I'm almost suffocating, and finally I have a prosperous place, so don't be restrained about Shisu." ”

Zi Su glanced at her with slanted eyes, and said, "Manners!"

"Anyway, no one knows me, don't use Ji Yanning's set to restrain me!" Yuan Jiaojiao winked at her, "Follow this girl, eat fragrant and drink spicy food, what are you not satisfied with?"

Zi Su said disdainfully: "It's not your money, it's all the eldest lady's money, and only by following the eldest lady can you have no worries about food and clothing." ”

I don't like to hear that. Yuan Jiaojiao said, "Ji Yanning is rich, it doesn't mean that I can't make money." ”

Zi Su said: "Stealing doesn't count." ”

Yuan Jiaojiao was unconvinced: "This girl will let you open your eyes today, I have great skills!"

As she spoke, she grabbed Shiso's hand, walked through the bustling crowd, and walked forward.

Shisu looked up at the big word "bet" written on the flag next to her, and her eyes widened in surprise.

"You want to gamble?" she turned her head to look at Yuan Jiaojiao, "I'm going to tell the eldest lady!"

Yuan Jiaojiao said: "Don't worry, I won't lose, isn't this to relieve the pressure on your eldest lady, people like me are not something that ordinary people can afford." ”

At this point, she adheres to Yuan Jing's temperament, and she must eat and drink well.

Before Shisu could refute, she had already pulled Shisu into the casino.

As soon as you enter the casino, it is as if you have become two worlds from the bustling streets outside.

Shiso, who has never entered the casino, looked at the lively scene in the casino, and was a little timid in his heart, many people gathered around the gambling table, shouting loudly about the size and size, the sound of dice and dominoes was staggered, and everyone had different faces, some happy and sad.

Zi Su followed closely behind Yuan Jiaojiao and wanted to tell her to leave here, but Yuan Jiaojiao was familiar with the road and came to a gambling position.

"Miss. Shiso tugged at her sleeve.

Yuan Jiaojiao stretched out her finger to block Zisu's lips and made a silent gesture: "Let's play for a while." ”

She listened carefully to the sound of the dice, and it was not until the person shaking the cup stopped, that she threw the ten taels of silver in her hand to the side of the word "big".

Zi Su saw her so defeated that she was so angry that she stomped her feet, but she couldn't persuade her.

"Buy and go!" said the man who was shaking the dice, watching everyone bet, opened the betting cup, and shouted, "Great!"

Yuan Jiaojiao wore a veil, and could only see her smiling in her eyes, and when she took back twenty taels of silver, she winked at Zisu.

Shisu pouted: "It's just luck." ”

But in the next dozen or so, Yuan Jiaojiao pressed all the money on hand every time, and it soon turned into a few hundred taels of silver.

Not only did the banker notice that something was wrong, but even the gamblers on the side began to follow her to buy.

Yuan Jiaojiao took more than a thousand taels of silver, and did not linger, and left the casino directly with Zisu.

Zisu has nothing to say this time, Yuan Jiaojiao is really powerful.

They walked out of the casino, and a sturdy man stepped out of the crowd on the side, looked at their backs as they left, and quietly followed.

"It seems that the thousand taels of silver that the little girl has just won are about to be robbed. ”

On the second floor of the casino, someone had been staring at the situation below, and saw the man follow Yuan Jiaojiao and them out, and the man in the blue brocade robe said.

"Does His Royal Highness King Xuan want to go to the hero to save the beauty?" The man in white sitting beside him picked up the teacup and drank the tea, his face grim.

Rong Che said with a smile: "The Shaoqing of Dali Temple arrested the criminals, and this king will not be involved." ”

Duan Wufang, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, glanced at him: "You are indispensable to see the excitement, but you can't help with serious things, I really didn't make friends." ”

Rong Che looked innocent: "In the case of the disappearance of the girl last time, didn't this king help you? ”

Duan Wufeng stood up: "Su Jiwen can't run away, but even if this matter is investigated, it can't shake the five princes by half a point, and the emperor will not let the royal reputation be damaged." ”

As he spoke, he followed his men out of the casino, continuing to stare at the burly man just now.

Rong Che listened to Duan Wufang's words, his eyes were slightly dark, but he quickly returned to normal.

"Master, the maid next to the masked woman just now is like a maid of the Ji family. The flying eagle behind Rong Che said.

Feiying's memory has always been good, and when she was in Jiangzhou, she was staring at Ji Yanning's every move for a while, and there were only two maids by her side, so she remembered it clearly.

Rong Che heard Feiying's words, and raised his eyebrows.

Although the woman just now was wearing a veil, her behavior was very different from Ji Yanning's, and her eyebrows and eyes were not similar, so it couldn't be her.

Seeing that the master didn't speak, Qiu Li said, "Master, are we going back to the house?"

Rong Che bowed, and before he got up, he suddenly spoke again: "Feiying followed Flawless to see the situation." ”

The eagle answered, and followed.

Yuan Jiaojiao has been a thief for many years, so she naturally knew that she was being targeted, so she jumped to a crowded place with Shisu, trying to shake off the man who was following behind her, but the man seemed to be too rampant and kept following them closely.

"Zisu, when you get to the intersection in front, you go back to the house the same way, and I'll go to the alley on the right. Yuan Jiaojiao said, "Someone is following us, and I will throw him away." ”

It's always a bit of a hassle to carry shiso.

Shisu couldn't help but look back, and met the man's eyes staring at their backs, which frightened a spirit.

She said: "It's too dangerous for you to lure him away, why don't we go to Baochang Ji, there must be a way to do it." ”

Yuan Jiaojiao chuckled: "You just need to take care of yourself, when it comes to escaping, I haven't lost yet." ”

Zi Su knew her details, and when she saw that she insisted on doing so, she didn't say much, and when she reached the corner in front, the two of them separated and walked in different directions.
