5. Street gambling

Tao Zhiyuan looked at Yun Jinliang's determined expression, what a lovely child, she wiped the tears on her face for Jinliang, she seemed to see Yi Na's unyielding look again, and immediately put on a smile, and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you." ”

"Okay, don't delay the auspicious time." Yun Zhengqiu saw the eunuch and Gong E's increasingly impatient expressions, so he urged.

"Dad, I'll send my sisters to Beijing." Yun Jinyuan finally spoke, and his hand couldn't help but clench his sword.

"The palace has its own guards to escort you, which is your turn to hinder!" Yun Zhengqiu snorted coldly.

"Lord Yun doesn't know, there are many show girls who go to Kyoto to be escorted by their mothers' families, which can greatly ensure the safety of show girls." A guard said, "This show girl goes to Beijing, all of them are beautiful and fragrant, so naturally you have to be careful." ”

Yun Zhengqiu pondered for a moment, and finally nodded in approval.

Yun Qingyuan looked at Yun Jinyuan's neat and heroic posture, sighed silently, and got into the carriage and sat in the same carriage with Tao Zhiyuan.

The carriage officially walked, Tao Zhiyuan lifted the curtain slightly, looking at the incomparably clear sky, and there was no trace of clouds thousands of miles away.

Yun Qingyuan only sobbed at this time, and she was very sad.

Good or bad.

After all, it is a foregone conclusion.

There is also a Zhengzhou between Yezhou and the capital, and it takes about three days to reach the capital.

By this time the carriage had been gone for a day, and at nightfall it rested at the inn.

Tao Zhiyuan sat in the carriage and bumped all day, because it was the first time to ride in the carriage, even the internal organs were about to turn out, and she couldn't even eat dinner at the moment, so she went back to the room early to rest.

Yun Qingyuan also didn't have much appetite, she couldn't eat two mouthfuls of rice hastily, she looked up and saw that Yun Jinyuan seemed to be a little worried between her eyebrows, but she couldn't help but say nothing, when Yun Qingyuan noticed that he looked at Tao Zhiyuan's room more than once, she already understood seven or eight points in her heart, but she didn't make a sound.

It seems like a bad relationship.

Yun Qingyuan only had this little feeling.

**

It was another early morning, Tao Zhiyuan took a deep breath, and the morning air was particularly good.

Got into the carriage again, and Tao Zhiyuan passed yesterday's bumps. Today I am immune, and I am not so uncomfortable in the carriage.

Yun Qingyuan took out a small packet of sour plums and said, "Eat some plums, your stomach will not be so uncomfortable." ”

"Why didn't you take it out yesterday, I vomited so much yesterday that I only had half a life left." Tao Zhi said angrily, so she picked one up and sent it to her mouth.

Yun Qingyuan didn't know what the expression was on his face, he only said: "This is the eldest brother who went to a nearby village this morning to buy it, and I heard that he found several villages." ”

"Thank you to him." Tao Zhiyuan didn't think much about it, she took another one and put it in her mouth, she only felt sweet and sour, it was very appetizing, she thought of the pastries prepared by Li Xiangling for them, and immediately opened the food box again, took a piece of delicious food, and ate it.

"Sister, if you were Qingling, would you elope with your lover?" Yun Qingyuan couldn't help but ask when she saw her eating very satisfied.

Tao Zhiyuan felt that the pastries in the food box were much more delicious than those in modern times, so she took out another piece, and she answered Yun Qingyuan's question vaguely: "Well, I will definitely do it." ”

Isn't she the same for Yi?

Love him without hesitation.

Yun Qingyuan's eyes had deep sorrow: "But, like Qingling, it will implicate many people, can you bear it?" ”

Tao Zhiyuan also stuffed half of the pastry in her hand into her mouth, like a greedy child, there were some broken grains at the corners of her mouth, she didn't pay attention to it, but picked up the water bladder and drank a sip of water, burping before smiling comfortably.

When he was with Yi, the two of them got along like this without scruples, and for many years, it became a habit.

She tossed and thought, if stubbornness and love will affect her family, then what should she do?

"Sister?" Yun Qingyuan was still waiting for her answer.

Tao Zhiyi smiled: "This question is like a wife asking her husband, if she and your mother fall into the river at the same time, which one will you save." So, there is no solution to this problem. ”

"If I were that husband, of course I would save my mother, who has raised me for many years, how can I be ungrateful." Yun Qingyuan replied without thinking.

Tao Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment when she heard Yun Qingyuan's answer, but then she thought that this was an ancient feudal society, and it must be respected by the elder, and her wife could be remarried if she didn't have it.

"If it were me, I would throw a stick of wood down to my wife, and then I would go to save my wife after I got my mother up."

"It's a great way to get the best of both worlds." Yun Qingyuan nodded hesitantly, but then frowned, "But is the world really that perfect?" What if you don't have a stick around? ”

Tao Zhiyuan felt that she and Yun Qingyuan were arguing about a question that would never be answered, she smiled awkwardly at the moment, lifted the curtain next to her and looked at the scenery in the distance, and stopped talking.

Yun Qingyuan saw that Tao Zhiyuan deliberately avoided her own questions, so she had to give up, and she could only pray in her heart that something would go wrong in the middle of the journey, otherwise what would happen to her father and mother in Yezhou?

Speechless all the way.

In the evening, they arrived in Zhengzhou, the palace maid lifted the curtain and let them get out of the carriage, Tao Zhiyuan took a deep look at the sky, and the twilight sky was as black as dripping ink.

Yun Jinyuan handed over the horse to Xiao Er to lead, and just saw Tao Zhiyuan looking at the charming sky with a drunken look, and his eyes suddenly froze.

Yun Qingyuan, who was on the side, gently grabbed Tao Zhiyuan's arm and said, "Sister, come in, after a hard day, you have to have a good rest." ”

After that, the two of them entered the inn together, and Yun Qingyuan didn't forget to glance back at Yun Jinyuan when she stepped into the threshold, containing complicated emotions.

Zhengzhou Lijing City is not far away, it can be reached in half a day, in order to welcome tomorrow into the palace, the palace maid has already prepared hot water to serve Yun Qingyuan and Tao Zhiyuan to bathe.

Tao Zhiyuan was not used to being served and bathed, so she sent the palace maid out, and she was also happy.

After some washing, Tao Zhiyuan was refreshed, stretched a big lazy waist, pushed open the window and saw that the street below the inn was so lively, there were no stalls, and there were performers not far away.

At this time, the guards and eunuchs were resting, and she did not tell Yun Qingyuan that she was going out, and walked out of the door of the inn, but saw Yun Jinyuan.

"You want to go?" Yun Jinyuan asked bluntly.

Tao Zhiyuan glared at him dissatisfied, and said, "I want to go out for a walk, can't I?" ”

Yun Jinyuan looked at her again, she didn't have any clothes on her body, she didn't look like she was running away, her face suddenly softened, and she said, "It's not good for a girl to go out, I'll go with you." ”

"Whatever you want." Tao Zhiyuan had no intention of retreating at all, he loved to follow him.

Tao Zhiyuan looked at the bustling streets, and her anger at Yun Jinyuan subsided a little, and she just looked at the novelty around her.

She leaned up to see this for a while, and then leaned up to look at that, and couldn't help but think about it.

"Girl, look at these concentric knots, they are all of the best color." The aunt who sells concentric knots on the side of the road stopped Tao Zhiyuan.

Tao Zhiyuan walked over to take a look, and the concentric results placed on it were actually exquisite workmanship, especially the serial palindrome knots that expressed affection, which made her love it, if she gave it to Yi, he should like it very much, right?

"This is good, it happens to be a pair with the girl's lover." The aunt looked at Yun Jinyuan behind Tao Zhiyuan, "It's really a couple." ”

Tao Zhiyuan looked at Yun Jinyuan, who was expressionless, put the chain palindrome knot back in its place, and said sullenly: "Whoever is with him, he is just a fly." With that, he walked away.

The aunt looked at Tao Zhiyuan's back in the distance awkwardly, and then looked back at Yun Jinyuan: "Childe...... This ......"

Yun Jinyuan took out a piece of silver, put it in the hands of the aunt, and then picked up the chain of palindrome knots, and put it in his arms silently.

Tao Zhiyuan only felt that it was a little awkward for the aunt to say that just now, how could this uncertain Yun Jinyuan be compared to her Yi?

"Oops, why did you lose again!" There was a sudden scream from the crowd next to him.

What's that?

Tao Zhiyuan felt strange, inheriting the good genes of modern people's love of gossip, so she squeezed into the crowd to join in the fun.

It turned out that someone opened a gambling stall here, a table spread with a dark blue linen cloth hanging to the ground, the table was full of silver and silver tickets, looking at the pair of silver tickets and silver in front of the man who was the banker, you knew that he killed three parties.

"Come, come, come! Place your bets! Buy and go! The man shouted again.

"I'll buy big!" A woman about forty years old slapped a silver ticket on the word "big", which sounded like the voice Tao Zhiyuan heard just now, at this time Tao Zhiyuan looked over, in this night, the woman combed her hair in a neat bun, a plain and elegant dress, a trace of nobility was faintly visible between her eyebrows, her charm was still there, and the years did not take away too much of her youth. I saw her eyes showing a fierce light, staring at the dice barrel with an unconvinced look.

"Madam, stop playing, we're out of luck." The maid next to her tried to persuade her.

"I haven't lost in so many years, how can I be stumped with a few dice!" The lady glared at the maid and called out to the man to hurry up and shake the dice.

"Okay!" The man picked up the dice tube, shook it, and put it on the table, Tao Zhiyuan noticed that the man had moved the tube to him, intentionally or unintentionally.

"What are you doing here?" Yun Jinyuan also came in at this time, and it was inevitable to frown when he saw that it was a gambling stall.

"Shh Tao Zhiyuan turned her head to him and put her finger to her lips to signal him to silence, and then she turned her head to stare at the man's actions.

"Hurry, hurry! All bets! The man knocked on the table, no more, no less, just three times.

He opened the bamboo tube, and the three dice in it were two, two, three, which was exactly seven o'clock small!

The man was overjoyed, and hurriedly bought a large amount of silver and brought it to him, and then lost the amount of silver he bought, and he was overjoyed just by earning the noblewoman's silver ticket.

"Madam, you see, this is really bad luck." The lady's maid looked anxiously at the few silver tickets in her hand.

The noblewoman pondered for a moment, and there was a kind of terrifying fierceness, she took out a silver ticket, put it on the side of the "big", and said, "I don't believe in that evil!" ”

Tao Zhiyuan smiled slightly, and said to the noble lady: "Madam, why don't you buy a small one, I guarantee that you will win this time." ”

The noble lady followed the prestige, her eyes were mixed with playfulness, and she was a little questioning: "Oh? Are you so sure? ”

"Of course."

"Why should I believe you?" When the lady said this, Tao Zhiyuan felt an inexplicable sense of oppression.

"Believe it or not, it's up to you to decide." Tao Zhiyuan also returned to her without fear.

"Well, I believe you." The lady took the silver ticket to the "small" side, then took out one of the silver tickets in her hand, and put it to the "small" as well, "I'll buy a bigger one." ”

The man who opened the gamble immediately lit up his eyes, and quickly shook the bamboo tube, and moved the bamboo tube to himself just like last time.

"Everybody buy it! It's going to be open! The man knocked on the table twice this time, and then opened the bamboo tube at once, which was fourteen o'clock!
