Chapter 31: A Gamble (1)
Yun Changge leaned over and picked up the little dried white lotus on the ground, held it in the palm of his hand, and moved gently, as if he was comforting a crying child. A soft white glow shone from his palm, moistening the shriveled and dead flower like water.
The flower began to regenerate in his pale palm, and his dehydrated body became tender and crystalline, like a newborn baby. The dead petals sprouted new shoots, and they opened layer after layer, layer after layer. Finally, it was reborn and transformed back into a beautiful white lotus. Yun Changge put it into the nearby flower pond, and his dazzling eyes sparked a smile on the spring day, "Where are you from?" Stay. I will give you endless water, so that you will always be undefeated, and you will always be at your best. ”
Yun Changge is not a caring person, and the reason why he cherishes lotus flowers is only because there is a person who likes lotus alone. Although she hated him, he longed for her love, even if it was only a little. He loved the lotus she loved, and he loved everything she loved, and he hated everything she hated.
This was the first time since he was ten years old that Yun Chu had seen Gongzi use spiritual power. Yun Changge stood in this small courtyard, although he was standing under the eaves and above the withered leaves, he was clear, as if behind him was a vast river, a long river, and a picturesque river. He saw an unprecedented kingly spirit in him.
He has always understood that although his son-in-law looks warm, soft, and kind on the surface, he is extremely cold and the inside. He felt that he was not like a person sometimes. Because he is a human being, he always has to be close to others, and he always has desires, but he has rejected everyone thousands of miles away for many years.
If he wants to talk about desire, he has it, but that's not his intention.
Something he himself never seemed to want.
These years are more like a perfect walking corpse, a perfect killing tool, and a perfect machine executor.
Although he couldn't bear to break the rare beautiful scenery in front of him, Yun Chu still walked a few steps forward quickly, and reported everything that Bu Tianyin had done in the past few days. Yun Changge only nodded after hearing this, Yun Chu lowered his head as if he had thought of something, and said: "The fourth princess's maid Forsythia is here, waiting outside the door, saying that the fourth princess is sick and refuses to take medicine, so she has to ask her son to come over." ”
Yun Changge said lightly: "You go back to her, the fourth princess refuses to take medicine, she should go to the palace to invite Wei Guifei." ”
Yun Chu should go down.
Outside Pingshui Garden, a delicate carriage.
Forsythia looked at the door in front of her with a "bang" on her face, and then returned to the carriage with a dishful face, Hua Yuyan poked her head out of the car with a hand stove, and couldn't wait to ask her maid: "How is it, when did he say he would come?" ”
Forsythia lowered her head, her face was bloodless, and she said cautiously: "Yun Gongzi said that you don't take medicine, and the slave should go to the palace to invite the concubine Niangniang to ......."
Hua Yuyan's face suddenly darkened, she slammed the stove in her hand into Forsythia's face, and shouted angrily: "Go and knock on the door again!" If he doesn't go to the princess's mansion with you today, you won't have to come back! Roll as far as you want! After Hua Yuyan finished speaking, she closed the car door "bang", she didn't believe it, her most favored princess couldn't even get a man?
Thinking of the ugly monster who had just been retired from the Bu family in Wei Mansion in white clothes, the anger in her heart became more and more intense. Why could that ugly monster get into his carriage, but not Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was as beautiful as a flower?
No way! She must get him! Sprinkled all her anger on Forsythia, Hua Yuyan's mood seemed to be better, and she ordered the coachman to go home with a gloomy face.
Forsythia staggered from her hand stove, rolling on the cold ground with her face covered in pain, and when she let go of her hand, half of her eyes were bloody and fleshy, and blood was running down her cheeks, staining her soapy white maid's dress red. She crawled to the gate of Pingshui Garden, and kept pulling the knocker, but the seemingly warm red door never opened.
**
This is a famous gambling house in the imperial capital.
At this moment, night falls and the lights are on. The small two-storey building is bright inside and out. The hall on the first floor has three tables of pai gow, three tables of dice, and three tables of six games. There were all men standing or sitting at the table, some with red faces, some clenched their fists, some nervously drinking the tea brought by the maid, and some staring at the cards on the table without moving.
In the center of the nine tables is a three-meter-long table with steaming tea, warm wine, walnuts and melon seeds and other snacks. There are beautiful maids interspersed between the tables, serving tea and water and handing hand towels. They occasionally smiled and took the money from the guests, but they never reached for the silver on the table.
Several handsome teenagers stood at the table with a smile, and after each game, they had to draw from one to three percent. Note that most of the draws, bets small and less draw. This is the rule of Toheido.
In the innermost part of the first floor is a half-open house, in front of which is a large screen of twelve. A purple crystal curtain hung from the door. The entrance door is also a screen, but there are only six of them. A thick white cashmere blanket was laid on the floor, and a brazier for heating was placed in the corners. Pink silk curtains hung everywhere, hanging from the roof to the ground, entangled with the white carpet, and the wind and snow were extremely ambiguous.
Behind the screen lay a man on a soft couch.
Dressed in red with dark hair, his eyes lowered and smiling.
Beside him, two beautiful women were half-kneeling, stretching out their soft and boneless little hands to beat him on the back. Occasionally, he would reach out and touch their smooth little hands, like the gamblers outside who would suddenly grab the girl who brought water. For subordinates like them, it is much better to serve here than outside.
The crane's beak in the corner of the wall puffs out white smoke, curling and faintly exuding a faint fragrance.
Suddenly, a man dressed in green clothes cut in from the door, bowed down and said: "Hall master, there are two hairy boys who lost all their money at the dice table No. 1 and gambled on their own hands, and when the brothers rushed up to chop their hands, one of them suddenly said that he was a member of the Bu family, and no one could touch him." ”
The man in red sank his face and motioned for the two servants to retreat, he sat up straight, frowned, and said, "Qinghe, you are really regressing more and more." Do you need me to teach you this kind of thing? ”
Qinghe lowered his head and said: "My subordinates don't dare." I sent someone to check, and I replied that it was the young master of the Bu family, and he came with him, as well as the son of the Mu family! ”
The man in red thought for a moment, got up and walked out, "I'll deal with this matter!" ”
Qu ruthlessly stood behind the twelve screens with his hands in his hands, and the scene in front of him was unobstructed, this screen was nothing special from the outside, but the scene in front could be seen from the back.
Bu Tianfeng was being pressed on the table by a few strong men, and the room of people didn't seem to see it, just taking care of their own table. After all, there are people who lose their lives in casinos. Besides, this is the largest casino in the imperial capital, everyone is already surprised by this, and there is no time to take care of it, rather than joining in the fun, it is better to keep an eye on the money in hand.
Bu Tianfeng's little face was pressed red, and the young man who was restrained opposite him was worse than him, obviously he made a move with someone, and then lost.
Although the Bu family does not have the title of high-ranking official, it is a rich country and is highly valued by the royal family. Half of the tax revenue of the Jinbi Dynasty came from the Bu family. Qu Wuru looked behind the screen for a few seconds, and then walked over.
"What do you do when you bully two little boys? Stand down! Qu ruthlessly gave an order, and several rough strong men stepped aside, Bu Tianfeng rubbed his shoulders and came to Mu Liangyuan, glaring at the man in red who suddenly appeared with him.
Qu smiled ruthlessly: "Which one is the young master of the Bu family?" ”
Bu Tianfeng pushed Mu Liangyuan in front of him and said, "He! ”
Qu ruthlessly looked at Bu Tianfeng and laughed: "Then you are the son of the Mu family?" It's a pity that Qu only gave face to the Bu family. Come on, chop off this little brother's hands! ”
Bu Tianfeng was immediately pressed on the table by two people, and he couldn't move for a minute, his face turned pale with fright, his handsome face was a little distorted, and he shouted: "If you dare to move me, my fourth uncle will definitely take someone to demolish here!" ”
Seeing this, Qu ruthlessly smiled and said, "Then Qu is waiting for Fourth Uncle Ling!" After speaking, his face turned pale, and he instructed left and right: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Chop him up for me! ”
Bu Tianfeng and Mu Liangyuan have always been secretly doing so, and the children of the two families, if they go out to gather people to gamble, what will it be? Especially Bu Tianfeng is the most afraid, his father may be merciful, but the fourth uncle estimates that he will have to kill him!
"Don't do it, don't do it, I'm who I am!" Bu Tianfeng begged for mercy, Qu ruthlessly squinted at him, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the two little sons are going to stay here with Qu, and Qu will ask people to send the IOU and the tokens of the two back to the house." Take money to ransom people. Especially in Bufu, there must be no shortage of three thousand taels. ”
Bu Tianfeng's face turned green when he heard this, if the IOU was sent back to Bufu, the fourth uncle would either let him be chopped off regardless of his hands, or kill him in person!
Mu Liangyuan's face was not much better, he was even worse than Bu Tianfeng. The Mu family is a family of weapons, if someone sends an IOU to the house, it will still be owed in the gambling house...... His father can't run him over with a chariot?
Mu Liangyuan hurriedly said: "Don't be, don't be like this, Brother Qu, let's think of a way, think of a way......"
Qu Wuru seemed to like Mu Liangyuan's "Brother Qu" very much, and acquiesced to their discussion.
Bu Tianfeng came to Mu Liangyuan, and the two of them muttered in private.
Mu Liangyuan said: "Send all the IOUs to your house, and if your fourth uncle wants to kill you, you come to my house to hide!" ”
Bu Tianfeng was not happy. "Why don't they all be delivered to your house? Your father wants to kill you, you come to my house! ”
Mu Liangyuan said nervously: "No, my father will split me on the spot!" Won't give me a chance to slip out! ”
Bu Tianfeng rolled his eyes, "Do you think my fourth uncle can give me time to escape?" ”
The two of them shirked each other for a while, but there was no result. Mu Liangyuan glanced at it secretly, and seeing that Qu Wuru seemed to want people to take the tokens on them, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly said to Bu Tianfeng: "That's right! Didn't your sister come home? If you ask someone to find your sister, she must be rich! ”
Bu Tianfeng hesitated for a while, thinking that there was no other way but to pin all his hopes on his sister!
