The matter of the six princes did not disturb Zhao Chen's mood in the slightest.

After the incident, the clothes are gone, and the merit and fame are hidden.

After the meeting was over, she did not talk to anyone, but walked around the capital, and did not return home with a cart full of things until after noon.

An hour later, the east wing of the main courtyard.

Since that day, she and Meng Yong have spoken half-truthfully, and the two seem to have started the "love period" naturally-

"Come, drink it while it's hot, I found it after searching all over the capital today." She didn't even change her court clothes, she came to Meng Yong's bed with a steaming sea bowl, and smiled mysteriously: "Absolute complement of the big complement." ”

"You can leave it there first, and drink it in the next moment." Meng Yong, who was sitting on the bed, moved in a few times, smiled at her, and continued to scroll through the scroll with his eyes down.

Zhao Chen snatched his books with a straight face, and scolded: "If you are sick, you should have a good rest, what is there to look at these books!" After she finished speaking, she changed her smile and handed the sea bowl forward: "Taste this good thing, I have been staring at the kitchen for more than an hour!" ”

Meng Yong could still endure this crookedness without changing his face, but Su Yan on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward and said coldly: "What is this?" If it's a mess, our owner can't just enter it. ”

Zhao Chen glanced at her: "I don't know, this is a big supplement, the best!" As she spoke, she pulled away Su Yan, who was in the way, and with a smile she scooped a spoonful and handed it to Meng Yong's lips, "Taste it while it's hot." ”

The aroma of the clear soup is so appetizing just by smelling it that it makes you feel appetizing.

Meng Yong thought about it, but still stopped Su Yan, who was about to have a seizure, and drank it very obediently.

The rich soup is not greasy at all, and from time to time there are a few very elastic "pieces of meat" mixed in it, and Meng Yongzhi was fed by her and drank most of the bowl before stopping.

"How? What do you think? Zhao Chen asked again and again.

Meng Yong smiled and nodded: "It tastes very good, thank you for your trouble." After a pause, he casually asked, "What kind of soup is this?" Hard-to-find ingredients? If it's too precious, it's better to give it to you. ”

"Don't talk about these outsiders, we're a family now!" Zhao Chen pretended to be displeased and stuffed the bowl to Su Yan, "Besides, it's nothing precious, it's just a hundred-year-old mountain ginseng, eucommia... Pork kidneys taken from a freshly disemboweled pig. ”

Su Yan's face turned white, the sea bowl suddenly fell to the ground, and he didn't care about collecting it, so he hurriedly took the copper basin and said hurriedly: "Dongjia, you spit it out, spit it out, it's all the slave careless." ”

Meng Yong's face was incomprehensible, and the smile that had not yet disappeared was condensed on his lips, and then disappeared little by little.

"What's going on?" Zhao Chen asked puzzled with a wink.

Su Yan was completely angry: "What kind of heart do you have?" Our hosts never eat that filth! You! Scourge! ”

"What filth? Pork kidney? Zhao Chen smashed his mouth and muttered: "That's the best in this, besides, didn't you eat it very fragrant just now..."

Without waiting for Su Yan to reprimand again, a voice came from outside the east chamber: "Your Highness, there are guests in the front yard." ”

Zhao Chen answered, and didn't look at Meng Yong's appearance anymore, so he hurriedly laughed twice and retreated.

In the main hall of the front yard stood a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old.

The crumpled cotton clothes were tightly tied around him, and although his figure was much more upright, it also looked quite shabby.

"Who are you pretending to be poor for?" Zhao Chen didn't greet the other party, "Anyway, you are also the dealer in charge, and if you dress like this, you don't know that you think that your gambling house has lost empty, and you have no money to pay you monthly money." ”

"This is made for me by Chen Niang, I like it very much." The young man's expression was faint, and he said directly: "Chen Niang asked me to tell you, everything is ready, tomorrow afternoon, Chengnan Bamboo Garden." ”

Zhao Chen narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Go back and remember to thank you for my good life." ”

The boy had no intention of leaving, and took out the money bag she had lost that day in his arms, "I want to gamble with you again." ”

"You're really boring." Zhao Chen didn't even glance at the empty money bag, "But I lost it once, as for thinking about it for so many years?" ”

The young man pointed to the money bag and asked, "Since you still follow the rules, why don't you want to gamble with me again?" ”

In today's Da Chu, there are many unwritten rules for gambling.

One of them is that anyone who has entered the church to worship the ancestor must gamble when he enters the casino, regardless of whether he wins or loses.

Strictly speaking, Zhao Chen learned gambling skills from Jin Abacus.

After all, with the skill of gold abacus, it is really not top-notch.

She can now have the martial arts to deal with Meng Yong, completely based on Lao Jin's miscellaneous theories, and she only crossed the river by feeling the stones.

And gambling... According to Lao Jin himself, back then, he gambled all over the world invincible-

Seeing that Zhao Chen was silent for a long time, the young man forced out a hint of provocation: "If you are afraid that you will lose to me, I can promise not to spread today's events." ”

Zhao Chen was amused by him, and leaned back with a smile: "Zuo Yinan, do you want to win, I think I'm crazy, I even use this kind of rotten radical method!" ”

She laughed for a while before retracting: "But you, if you succeed, I'll gamble with you again!" ”

"Ah Cai, lend me your guys!" She shouted outward: "Set the table in the Double Happiness Hall, your Royal Highness is going to return to the gambling world today!" ”

The house is busy all the time, and when it is settled, it is no less than the casino.

Zhao Chen looked around, glanced at the gambling table again, and immediately slapped the guard named Ah Cai fiercely, and scolded with a smile: "Don't show me eyes, change to a clean one, Brother Zuo is an expert." ”

When Ah Cai looked at it and took the cards and dice that he had never done before, the bet began.

The guard, who temporarily acted as a dealer, handed the dice to Zhao Chen.

"It's better to ask Brother Zuo first." Zhao Chen smiled and threw it at the other party, just throwing it casually is three sixes.

Zuo Yinan didn't look at it and said: "This thing is useless to us, just deal cards, I'm not polite to you, I'll do the bank first." He said lightly, and motioned for the guard to deal the cards.

When Meng Yong came to the front hall after being noisy, the scene he saw was like this-

The guards and servants of the palace were all gathered in the hall, staring at the gaming table with bated breath, or talking excitedly.

And in the middle of the circle, Zhao Chen leaned on the chair as if he had no bones, smiled and half-buckled a wooden card, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Brother Zuo, guess what time will this one be for me?" ”

Zuo Yinan didn't answer, and happily opened his card, causing an exclamation from the people around him.

"Supreme Treasure!"

"Your Highness won't lose to him, will you?"

This time, the two of them created their own gambling method, not sticking to the number of people in Pai Gow, and using a best-of-three game.

Before Meng Yong came, the two had already won one each, which also meant that they were going to win or lose this game.

"Why are you here?" Zhao Chen saw Meng Yong at this time, hurriedly dropped the card and went over to help him, and scolded as if he was distressed: "The cold outside is so heavy, what should I do if I get cold again!" ”

"It sounded so noisy, and I thought something was going on." Meng Yong looked at the gambling table, glanced at the guards with strange eyes, and said softly, "Don't disturb your interest, I'll go back next." ”

"No, it's coming." Zhao Chen smiled and helped him sit on his chair, ignoring the eyes around him, and explained softly to himself: "Have you seen his card?" We've got to make a three-point..."

Meng Yong's whole body froze for a moment, and subconsciously struggled, but he was tightened by her, and the scorching heat that was no longer unfamiliar also hit his body.

The depths of his eyes suddenly sank, and it took him a few breaths to suppress it, and a light smile resurfaced on his face.

"Good, help me open the cards." Zhao Chen hugged him from behind, affectionately rested his chin on his shoulder, and stretched out his hand to lead him to grab the card he was holding: "You are so smart, I believe that your luck must be good——"

Zuo Yinan's handpiece is the supreme treasure, and the nine points of Ding three with two or four.

If she can't open three points, then she will lose this bet, and if she opens three points-

Meng Yong, who fell into her arms, hesitated for a moment, but finally was ruthless and persuaded herself.

His bony fingers lightly clasped the wooden card, and gently lifted it with the force of her soft palms.

No more, no less, exactly three o'clock!

In today's three games, both of them have one win, one loss and one draw, and they are tied!

Zhao Chen straightened up with a smile and said to Zuo Yinan: "Count me as losing, you have found the field back, don't pester me in the future." ”

Ignoring Zuo Yinan, whose face was flushed, and the noise of the guards around her, she stroked Meng Yong's shoulder and sighed softly: "It's true that no one can win often, there is a gamble... Not necessarily winning! ”

She smiled and asked Meng Yong, who was thinking about her words: "Ayong, did you say it?" ”
