"You're so open-minded, if I didn't do that." Zhou Yusheng couldn't help but admire her a little, "Hungry, right?" I know there's a tavern around here, and the food is pretty good. ”

Bai Shuqin tightened the cloak on his body and followed Zhou Yusheng out of the casino. When he stepped out of the door, Bai Shuqin looked back at Wu Niang, and when he saw that she was looking at him, he winked at her and smiled.

Over the years of opening a casino, Wu Niang has met all kinds of people, but they are all addicted to the pleasure of gambling. And people like Bai Shuqin who are indifferent to winning and losing, she has only met two.

One is Bai Shuqin, and the other is her heart's blood.

Wu Niang looked at Bai Shuqin's back, handed the dice cup in her hand to the man next to her, and had a soft smile on her face, "Lao Liu, this casino will be handed over to you." ”

"Where are you going?" Lao Liu took the dice cup and said with concern.

"Life is so short, I always have to find something." Wu Niang looked at the night outside with an indifferent expression.

Lao Liu watched Wu Niang disappear into the night, with tears in his eyes. The casino is still lively, but in this excitement, there seems to be something missing.

A bright moon hung in the dark blue sky, far away from the casino, the corner of the city, quiet and a little desolate.

The bald man and the felt hat man led the way for Zhuo Jinxuan, and the two didn't even dare to turn their heads back on the way, they just wanted to rush to the casino as soon as possible, so as to get rid of this unknown but very terrible foreigner.

In the empty street, a carriage galloped in front of Zhuo Jinxuan. The wind blew the curtains of the carriage, and the face of a different world was reflected in Zhuo Jinxuan's pupils.

Zhuo Jinxuan didn't know how to react for a while, the whole person was stunned, and when he turned around, the carriage was already far away.

He ran like mad in the direction of the carriage, and even though he was fast, the carriage was moving so fast that he lost it.

The figure that has just passed is very similar to Zhuo Jinxuan. Bai Shuqin was wondering if he was dazzled, so he hurriedly opened the curtains and looked back, but there was only a lonely street.

"What are you looking at?" Zhou Yusheng also poked his head out of the window.

Bai Shuqin smiled bitterly, withdrew his body, and said lightly: "It's nothing, I'm dazzled." ”

"After spending an afternoon at the casino, my eyes were glued to the dice, and I was dazzled. When I go back to the palace next time, I'll ask the imperial doctor to boil you some potions and clean your eyes. Zhou Yusheng rubbed his eyes, his eyes were also a little dry.

The bald man and the felt hat man were forgotten in the empty street, and the felt hat man poked the bald man's waist, "What should we do now?" ”

"Before he comes back, let's go." The bald man suggested.

"He knows Lord Tuoba, and he is a foreigner, do you think he will be the prince of Zhuo Kingdom? What if it is? The man in the felt hat was uneasy.

The bald man thought for a moment and thought that it shouldn't be, "It's really not good, let's hide for a few days." ”

The two of them were like mice that had stolen something, and the cat often walked forward seven or eight meters on tiptoe, and when they looked back, no one followed, and they ran away.

Zhou Yusheng didn't quite understand why Bai Shuqin was in a good mood when he came out of the casino, why he felt a little sad now. Although she was laughing, she was laughing worse than crying.

He thought about it again and again, and felt that he might still be reluctant to give up the more than three thousand taels of silver. Even if he loses so much money, he will be sad for a few days, not to mention Bai Shuqin, who is a poor person.

"Well, don't be too upset, I'll give you a gift, right?" Zhou Yusheng said.

Bai Shuqin, who was in contemplation, raised his head, glanced at him, and said puzzledly: "What gift?" ”

Zhou Yusheng just said this casually to make Bai Shuqin happy. Speaking of which, he really didn't know what to give her.

He racked his brains, and after a long time, he said happily: "Don't you Zhuo people love jade?" I'll give you a fine jade pendant. I'll send you to the dormitory first, and then I'll go back and get it to you. ”

"Don't bother, I don't like jade." Bai Shuqin refused.

Zhou Yusheng only treated her as polite, and after sending her back to Changle Palace, he ran out before he could sit down and rest.

Bai Shuqin didn't care about him, he just took out the jewelry he bought outside today, put it on the table, and asked Ziying to call all the maids in Changle Palace over and let them divide it.

There are also other concubines in the palace who will reward the jewelry they don't want to the slaves, but there are really few that are directly chosen by the palace maids.

"Taifu, you spoil them too much." Zhong Yang had a smile on his face.

Bai Shuqin smiled, took off the purse from his waist, opened it and took out a white jade bracelet from it, "Thank you for taking care of me these days, this bracelet is a little bit of my heart, I will bring it to you." ”

"I don't need anything anymore, I don't need anything, so you should bring it." Zhong Yang said with a smile.

Bai Shuqin picked up Zhong Yang's hand, put the white jade bracelet on her wrist, held her hand with both hands, and said with a gentle smile: "There is a saying in our place that jade can bring good luck, and it can also prevent disasters and eliminate diseases for people, I hope you can live a long life." ”

"I'm just a slave, I can't afford it!" Zhong Yang sighed, but there were some tears in the corners of his eyes.

For Bai Shuqin, the Thanksgiving is the most basic. She will not treat anyone around her who is good to her, nor will she let go of those who try to bully her.

Somehow, Bai Shuqin thought of Bai Bingbing again, and suddenly regretted it. If the sword was further down the centimeter that day, Bai Shaoan might be able to understand the pain of losing the fetus in her womb that day and her mother's loss that day.

"What's wrong with you? Is it unwell? Zhong Yang saw that Bai Shuqin's face was not very good, so he quickly helped her to the side and sat down, and poured her a cup of hot tea.

Bai Shuqin picked up the teacup to warm his hands, and reluctantly smiled, "It's okay, you go and get busy, I'll just rest for a while." ”

She looks like this, how can Zhong Yang be relieved. Like an old mother, she reached out and tested the temperature of Bai Shuqin's forehead, and after making sure that there was no fever, Zhong Yang was still not at ease, so she turned around and took a thin blanket, folded it and covered Bai Shuqin's legs.

Bai Shuqin watched Zhong Yang busy with her, just like her mother when she was a child, her eyes couldn't help but sour, and she almost left tears.

"Did you encounter something unhappy? Tell me about it, and it's good to say it. Zhong Yang stroked Bai Shuqin's hair like a child, and his tone was warm and kind.

The long-term training prevented Bai Shuqin from really telling Zhong Yang what he was thinking. But she still wanted to find a warm harbor and retreat from her guard.

She looked up at Zhong Yang aggrievedly, crying slightly, "I miss home!" ”

Once a strong person becomes fragile, it is particularly distressing, not to mention that Zhong Yang has long regarded Bai Shuqin as his junior in his heart. Bai Shuqin left his hometown and came to this palace, only alone.

Zhong Yang remembered himself when he first entered the palace, crying and wetting the quilt for countless nights, just wanting to return to the home with elderly parents and take a look at his relatives.

This feeling made Zhong Yang feel even more distressed about Bai Shuqin. She took Bai Shuqin into her arms, patted her back gently, and comforted her softly: "In the future, this will be your home, and I will take care of you for a day, don't be sad." What do you want to eat? I'll have someone get it for you. ”

Bai Shuqin was not hungry, but she was still infatuated with the feeling of being cared for, so she said: "I want to eat osmanthus cake, red bean dumplings, and I also want to eat vegetarian buns." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll let them get it now. You wait, don't be sad. After Zhong Yang comforted Bai Shuqin, he hurriedly asked someone to get what she wanted to eat.

The jewelry on the table was picked up, and Bai Shuqin looked at the smiling faces of those palace maids, and the sad mood in his heart gradually improved.

I used to defend the country and the people with her, but I never felt happy. After each mission, she didn't even feel at ease. She was tired of living for someone else, she just wanted to live for herself.

Bai Shuqin didn't think too much about it, and Zhou Yusheng ran in in a hurry. When he saw her, he strode over, opened the jade pendant he was holding in his hand, and shook it twice in front of Bai Shuqin.

"Look at this! This is not an ordinary jade pendant, this is a treasure that can't be bought with money. ”

"Really?" Bai Shuqin snatched the jade pendant and put it in front of him to observe.

Most of the jade pendants you see on weekdays are in the shape of dragons and phoenixes, and many of them are auspicious dragon patterns on the jade bi, but this jade pendant is in the shape of a fish.

"Tai Chi fish?" Bai Shuqin frowned slightly, and asked Zhou Yusheng, "Is there another half of this jade pendant?" ”

"No, only this one." Zhou Yusheng replied in the affirmative.

Bai Shuqin felt a little suspicious, if there was only one piece, it would be a little too strange to make it look like this. What's even stranger is that the fish's eyes are faintly red in the candlelight.

This strange situation made Bai Shuqin feel a chill in his back, and he felt that this jade pendant was a little evil. "Where did you get this jade pendant?"

"Antique shop, I bought it with Xianglongbi. The boss told me that if this jade meets someone who is destined, it can take people to another world. Zhou Yusheng looked a little pity, he thought he was the destined person at that time.

After listening to Zhou Yusheng's words, Bai Shuqin couldn't cry or laugh, there was such a good person in the world. If she knew this, she should have made up a story and deceived him of a few thousand taels of silver.

Zhou Yusheng saw that Bai Shuqin didn't believe it, and hurriedly added: "What this boss said is true, let me tell you one thing, and you will know." ”

"What's the matter?" Bai Shuqin was curious, she wanted to know what story that person used to cheat so much money.

There were many people in the house, and Zhou Yusheng didn't want others to hear it, so he asked Guo Hu to drive out the maids, and asked him to guard outside with Zhong Yang.

Now there are only two people left in the room, Bai Shuqin and Zhou Yusheng, Bai Shuqin hurriedly protected his chest and looked at him defensively.

Zhou Yusheng didn't understand what Bai Shuqin was doing, and when he reacted, he laughed loudly: "With your wooden plank body, are you still afraid of what I will do to you?" I'm the one to worry about, right? After all, I have a mighty figure and a handsome face, and there is no woman who is not impressed. ”

"Gross!" Bai Shuqin retched, thinking to himself that he really didn't know who gave him such confidence.

"What do you mean by that? Am I not right? Zhou Yu's angry eyebrows were upside down, and he suddenly thought that Bai Shuqin was not in good health, so he could only pat his chest and comfort himself silently, "A gentleman is not like a woman." ”

Bai Shuqin saw that the trouble was almost there, and he no longer continued to hit his bursting self-confidence, and said, "What is the incident you just said?" ”

"I've never told anyone else about this, but don't think I'm crazy." Zhou Yusheng rarely got serious.

Bai Shuqin nodded, "No." ”

"Five years ago, I bought a porcelain pillow from the boss, and he said that with that pillow he could see the events of my next life." Zhou Yusheng didn't look like a joke.

If it was before, when Bai Shuqin heard this, he felt that it was nonsense. But these things that happened to her made her not judge so easily.

Zhou Yusheng recalled that night and still felt incredible, "That night I pillowed that porcelain pillow and began to sleep as usual. In my dreams, it was as if I had gone to another world, which was completely different from here. ”

"I was in my thirties there, and I looked even more handsome than I do now. There, men almost always have short hair, no more than their shoulders. However, there are also some men who have long hair. And the clothes are different..."
