Chapter XXXVIII
I don't have to guess where these two cards are going.
This game was won by Wu Zhen. She made up a "whole ten" suit with two big ideas in her hand, overpowered Yue Tong, and finally won the extreme risk. Although Yue Tong lost, he only had four bamboo cards left in his hand, and he didn't lose much money.
Yue Tong raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to save two big cards." ”
shuffle the cards and play another game, and Wu Zhen still wins. This time I had seven or eight cards in my hand.
I thought it was strange at first, although it was easy for Wu Zhen to change cards, but how did she know which card I had in my hand? Ah, yes, she must have done something on the bamboo cards when she held the cards in the first few rounds, or when she shuffled the cards just now.
Although my father said that this kind of trick is inferior, Wu Zhen did not use it to make money and deceive...... It's just for fun, it's not a big deal, right? Moreover, she only changed the card for mine, and others did not move.
Yue Tong lost more and more, not only did he lose what he won just now, but even his own capital was quickly won away by Wu Zhen. She was still smiling, and seemed to be casually looking at the cards and counting the pips, but I noticed that the fingers of her hand holding the cards were slightly white because of the force.
Yao Huang came in with a snack, and I saw tiny snowflakes on her shoulders, which quickly melted into droplets.
"It's snowing again?"
"yes." Yao Huang brought us refreshments one by one: "To be honest, I have never seen a winter as cold as this year. ”
The tea they drank was really different from mine, Yao Huang really listened to Yao Zisheng's words, and gave me a cup of jujube tea. I pushed the cards: "Don't play, you've lost everything." ”
Yao Huang was very clever and took the bamboo card away. Yue Tong took a sip of tea, and suddenly said, "Ah, I forgot, I brought the invitation but didn't take it out." ”
Wu Zhen asked, "What invitation?" ”
Yue Tong took out two invitations, but there were no words on them. It is a pure black hot silver plain Cambodia, the material is not paper or silk.
Min Dao is knowledgeable: "This ...... Isn't it an invitation to the Sword Conference? ”
On the Sword Conference?
I've also heard that my father once said that there are many people in the world who practice kendo, but there are only a few of the top ones. No one knows what year this sword conference was and who first initiated it, but this sword meeting is held once every three years, but it has been passed down from generation to generation.
It is said that the sword immortal Yu Baiping began to emerge at a sword meeting.
Min Dao's eyes were shining, and even Wen Fei couldn't be calm and reserved anymore. All eyes fell on this invitation.
Well, for me and Wu Zhen, I think it's dispensable.
After all, we don't learn swords. Even if it's not interlaced like a mountain, but Min Dao and Wen Fei's expressions like misers at first glance -
Yue Tong picked up the invitation: "I didn't know that Gongzi Wen and Gongzi Min were also there today, so I only brought two invitations." However, this invitation can be for two people. If the two of them are willing, that one will be left for the two witch girls. This one, please keep it, and invite you to the cold house early tomorrow morning. ”
Although Wu Zhen later won back at the poker table, the invitation card that Yue Tong took out made everyone forget all about the inconsequential wins and losses in the game.
Even after they left, Uncle Quan was surprised to learn about the invitation.
"This Yue girl and the two girls hit it off at first sight. Someone once paid a thousand dollars to change an invitation but couldn't get it. She even gave away two of them. No wonder others say that the old man of the Yue family loves this granddaughter the most. ”
I wasn't very interested, so I asked Wu Zhen: "Then will we go tomorrow?" ”
Uncle Quan said, "Go! Of course go. Miss Ning. Maybe tomorrow our lord will also go, I listened in a trance that the lord also received the invitation, but he didn't say whether to go or not. There are a lot of seniors in this sword meeting, although the girl doesn't practice swords, but I'm afraid this kind of thing will rarely happen a few times in a lifetime - I'll go outside to arrange a carriage and horses. Take care of the girls' going out tomorrow. Well, let's get Aunt Cui over later. Give the girls a hand and see what to wear tomorrow. It is good to be generous and decent, but also to be warm and comfortable. ”
We're not in a hurry, he's busy.
Wu Zhen took a shawl and wrapped it for me, and tested the temperature of my forehead again: "I don't like that Yue Tong." ”
"Huh?"
"She's too scheming. Such a person will never take care of useless people and will not do useless things. ”
I also vaguely feel this way, but what do we have that she is good at? If we were peers, there would be some possibilities. Peers are enemies! But we are practicing illusions, and we can't fight them.
Wu Zhen picked up the box, and the earrings were still lying quietly inside.
"Anyway, this matter is very serious. Was this earring lost in Tujiazhuang? ”
"I can't remember, I was in a hurry in those days, and something like that happened, how could I still have the heart to think about this? When we got back to pack our things, I realized that this one was missing. ”
I didn't care at the time, who knew that this earring would be sent back like this?
Wu Zhen put down the box and sat next to me: "I said, what is that Qi from......
"Qi Boxuan."
"Yes, I said he ...... you If it was unintentional, then how could such a small thing be sent like this? If he didn't mean it, how could he get this and know it was yours? ”
She'd already said it, and last time I thought she must have been mistaken, but now, even I'm not sure.
The man looked at me, and I didn't care. But when this earring was sent, I was a little suspicious.
"I really don't know how these earrings got into his hands." I can't even remember where I lost the earrings.
And that Qi Boxuan and I only met once when we went to Tujiazhuang - no different from strangers.
Even Wu Zhen grew up with me, and people who know me well will be suspicious. What about the others?
Wen Fei: What does he think?
In front of people, we can only look at each other - not too long, they come in a hurry and leave in a hurry. We didn't even have a chance to speak privately.
I'm a little disappointed, but tomorrow ...... We'll meet tomorrow. Wen Fei and Min Dao accepted the invitation, and they will also go to the sword meeting tomorrow.
Wu Zhen rubbed in front of me for a long time and whispered, "Today's matter...... Don't tell your father-in-law, okay? ”
"What's the matter?" I asked knowingly.
Wu Zhen glared at me, but unfortunately he was weak and unconfident.
"It's just about playing cards......"
It turned out that she also knew that she was afraid, and she had to let her father know about it, and a reprimand would definitely be indispensable, and maybe there would be other punishments.
"Huh? Do you still know scruples? I thought you saw the pile of yellow copper coins in your eyes. ”
Wu Zhen patted me: "Don't laugh, I mean it...... I'm not in it for the money, I'm just not convinced by the way she looks. She pondered: "Even if she remembers the cards well, then she is very lucky today, and she can win so many hands." If I hadn't changed my cards, I really wouldn't have been able to win against her.
