The fourth day of the lunar month.

My gambling house "Golden Jade City" is officially opened.

The golden, silver, and white wealth is coming in, and the jade and purple are full of energy. Horizontal batch: financial energy through the gods.

There are eighteen firecrackers hanging on the one-zhang high color shelf, and after the explosion, the sound is noisy, and the whole place is red. Relatives and friends congratulate the Fulang flowers, phalaenopsis and rich bamboos blooming everywhere.

Xue Moyao and I stood on both sides of the façade, holding red ropes, and unveiled the plaque amid thunderous applause!

As the red silk floated down, a wish was also settled.

The opening speech was short and auspicious, and the welcome on the first day was a great gift. After all, it is a black business, and there will be a turntable lottery to select the winners of the A, B, C and third prizes when it is night.

Casually, I don't know how many friends Xue Moyao has. Nearly seventy percent of the guests were invited by him. Hearing the news, they automatically come to the store to help, and they are busy with the latter, and there are not a few.

Li Chengyun brought a group of people he knew to cheer. The thirty kinds of chess and card gambling in the store only asked them to try three or four kinds, and then they were out of control, and they no longer had time to help Zhang Luo, so they entered the room to gamble.

I was very happy to see this scene, and I called the first-class maid to entertain the God of Wealth: Have fun, it's good to come every day~

Li Chengyun came over with his arms in his arms, flicked me a light chestnut, and said with a bright smile: "See, I specially selected a group of scattered wealth boys and ruined Yama Luo to bring them to you, it's not good to give birth Thank you, brother!" ”

In the middle of the scene, I also took the opportunity to say sweetly: "Brother Xie Chengyun's foil, I really remember my sister and me." ”

He blinked an eye: "I can tell you to change your words, it's worth it, and you are not allowed to change it back!" ”

I laughed.

He looked around and said, "Why don't you look for a brother if you want to do business?" Why partner with that kid. ”

Before she could answer, Aunt Mei came over: "Ouch, tell me to find it." Your old cousin Brother Xie is here with a few brothers, go and take a look. ”

I left the private room again and went into the lobby.

In the crowd, I saw the heroic cousin Xie Bingpin at a glance. He asked his entourage to present a bottle of gold-plated Pixiu with colored knots, and said with a righteous smile: "I'm really ashamed, my brother is late, congratulations on the opening of my cousin's shop, and the daily income is ten thousand taels." ”

I pursed my lips: "This can be too late, but you will be fined three glasses of wine." ”

He laughed and said, "I just made a temporary trip." It was reported that there were 10 cargo ships trafficking pearls, gems and other items at the ferry today. I took someone to it, but it was a misunderstanding. ”

I blinked: "My cousin is also on an errand in Jinwuwei?" ”

"Yes, General Ning Yuan is just a wartime officer. My father said that Jin Wuwei was in charge of the security of the capital, and he could see all the big and small personnel such as 369, and he could train people even more. ”

"Hmm...... Uncle is also used to being difficult for his cousin. ”

My cousin was happy, but he couldn't hold back a smile.

"I'm not standing here anymore, since I'm here, I have to have a good time." So I led my cousin and several of his brothers into the chess and card hall and ordered the little badger to take care of it.

Dealing with it up and down, left and right for a whole day, it was not until the fourth watch of the next day that the last wave of passengers was sent away.

I waited for my eyes to be dark and exhausted. However, there was an early dynasty on the fifth day of the first lunar month, so I had to wash my face and dress up, smell the refreshing snuff, and explain a few words to Xue Moyun Zhuoxi, and then hurried away in the starry night and returned to the palace at dawn.

It's not yet time to open the palace gates. This is also the first time that I have waited outside the Chengtian Gate with all my ministers.

The cold wind was howling, and the ice on the surface of the moat was glowing with a cold light, which had frozen people to the point of sleeplessness. The attendance officer took the "Mao book" and called them one by one, and the officers in line heard their names and "responded to them" one by one.

I heard the sound of running in a hurry behind me, and I don't know which minister was delayed on the way, and now I am afraid of being late, so I hurried here.

Unexpectedly, the light was blind in the dark, and the sedan chair man stepped on the skating on the bridge deck, which was amazing, only to see the square sedan chair tilted, like a toppled cage drawer, straight into the moat.

For a while, the crowd was in an uproar, the callers for help were in an uproar, and the guards went into the water to salvage.

When I was busy, I learned that the person who fell into the water turned out to be the eldest son of General Jin Wuwei - Wei Guogong.

I snickered, thinking that it was because of the recent restlessness in the house, and the master and the subordinates were in a trance together, and they could come up with such a ridiculous fork.

As a result, General Zhang, who was soaked in his court clothes and scratched by river ice, had no choice but to ask the attendance officer to take leave, and submit the documents later.

Chen Shilang (Chen Xiuyuan's father), who was surrounding Zuo Xiang, shook his head and whispered: "This Patriotic Mansion is about to run out, and people are panicking." ”

Xiangye was as calm as a pine, and smiled slightly: "Time, fate, and luck are beyond our ability." ”

Chen Shilang looked at Xiangye and smiled warmly: "The teacher is humble again." ”

Xiangye smiled and said: "You, you, you have to be idle, and everything has to be pulled on the old man." ”

I asked curiously, "It turns out that Chen Shilang is a student of Uncle Li?" ”

That Chen Shilang nodded and said, "What Fan Shangshu said is true. When I went to Beijing to take the exam, it was fashionable to recommend it. I sorted out the plain proud work into a volume and presented it to the Xiangye's house, but I didn't expect it to be favored. The grace of knowing the encounter has to be remembered from time to time, and dare not forget. ”

I was a little surprised, and quickly said, "The teacher and the student are only one grade apart now, and I really love it." ”

Xiangye scolded me: "You kid! Chen Shilang has outstanding political achievements. The master led him into the door, and he didn't understand the simple truth of cultivation in the individual? It's a fairy tale. ”

Chen Shilang didn't mind: "Don't blame the teacher, don't blame the teacher." ”

I lowered my eyes, in fact, I didn't really want to express what I meant, as the saying goes, taught the apprentice to starve the master to death......

The drums sounded, and we stopped talking, lined up in two groups, and entered the front court in turn.

The vermilion court clothes are on the body, and the official hat inlaid with jewels is at the head, these two things alone are enough to withstand the frost, wind and snow.

Liu Crocodile Nu's youngest son said that he had seen a more brilliant and shiny set of clothes, much more powerful than the vermilion on my body, bright yellow! Wearing it is like being molded into gold, just like the gods and Buddhas on the earth!

At that time, I was on crutches and watched this seven-year-old kid eat mutton with his mouth full of oil.

"Oh? Is that garment thy Aye's? ”

He tore the sheepskin with his bare hands: "No. Everything in that room is a family heirloom, and I am not allowed to enter it on weekdays, so I secretly saw it. ”

"Heirloom...... It seems that your Liu family has always been a wealthy family, unlike my sister's family, which is poor. ”

This kid hehehe: "What does my sister's family do?" ”

"Villagers in the villages, grow some cabbage and pick it up to sell in the city. Fortunately, this dish is not frozen, so there will be no famine in winter. ”

He gnawed the bones of the lamb clean, and said, "The meat in the cracks of the bones is the best." Only then did he remember the words that picked me up: "Aya often said that I was born in a good time, unlike when he was young, he had to jump into the cold pit in the winter, diving and pearling." ”

I instantly stood cold: "Pearl diving? Have you ever been a pearl diver? ”

When he saw my different color, he blinked in confusion: "What's all the fuss about, my mother said, heroes don't ask where they come from." Hey. ”

I suddenly realized that the three words "pearl diver" are ninety percent a metaphor for Liu Crocodile's slave. As early as when the emperor left the palace, he had already predicted that he was secretly anti-willing.

But the change in Luoyang has become a fact, and it is too late to find out the precursors.

It's just that why he handed over this shocking secret to the babbling princess in the first place, or what is the subtle reason for doing so, now it seems that I don't know how to understand.

When I returned to my life, I only returned to the Holy God some of the things I had learned, such as the likes and dislikes of Liu Crocodile Nu, and the places where I frequented...... And on this point, I have reserved it for the time being.

I can't say exactly why I did this, but it's clear that there is an inexplicable force driving me.
