Chapter 299: Today is a good day

Li Yun didn't plan to receive the eldest prince and his wife in the inner courtyard, so he greeted a few people and went to the front living room.

At this time, the living room has been carefully arranged by Wu's mother, but she was worried that someone would come to pay New Year's greetings, so she cleaned up and arranged the front hall, and a plate was placed on each table, on which were placed the snacks and dried fruits bought before.

Because Li Yun and Li Yue were the masters, they sat at the top of the list, and the other people sat at the bottom of the head in turn.

In fact, according to the identity, the one who sits in the first place should be Yan Jiuyan Thirteen, after all, the two are princes, but a few of them don't care about their respective identities, and they don't care how they sit, plus a few people think in their hearts, this eldest prince is coming, if you sit according to your status, when the eldest prince comes, they must not be allowed to sit in the first place?

With such a calculation in his heart, a few people didn't mention it, so they sat down like this very tacitly, and then drank tea and talked with melon seeds, waiting for the eldest prince to come over.

Unexpectedly, a few people waited in the front hall for a long time, and the eldest prince and concubine came from the main hall of the Hou Mansion, Li Yun and Li Yue were all looking forward to the news from Mrs. Hou's side, I don't know how Mrs. Hou is doing, is it a shot?

But this thought flashed in their minds, and the two of them took it back and began to deal with the eldest prince and his wife seriously.

The identity is there, Li Yun and Li Yue, as the masters, still symbolically got up to greet them, as for the three people sitting in the lower row of the inside, they chatted very lively, and they didn't plan to greet them.

First stood and said some auspicious words for the New Year, Li Yun and Li Yue beckoned the eldest prince and the eldest princess to sit down in the first place outside, although the eldest prince was dissatisfied, he couldn't attack, not to mention the purpose of his trip, not to find fault, just look at the two other opposite who are the same princes as themselves, and they are also sitting in the first place.

After sitting down, the eldest prince said gently with a smile, "The ninth brother, the thirteenth brother, and Zhou Gongzi are really fast?" Came here so early. ”

Yan Jiu replied lukewarmly, "Big brother is not too late to act." ”

Zhou Yanxue on the side was wearing a red cloak, with a smile, her face was like a peach blossom, she was beautiful, and her crisp voice answered, "Your Highness, don't you know, when my cousin was still here in Yanjing, the first day of the new year, the ninth brother and the thirteenth brother, and Brother Huai Jin all came to my cousin early, and the concubine was still young at that time, and she always ran behind Brother Huai Jin, and she didn't run to your cousin anymore." ”

Yan Shisan said with a sarcastic smile, "Yes, but in the blink of an eye, things are already wrong, and in the past few years, they have completely dispersed." ”

Zhou Yanxue smiled, "Isn't this getting together again?" ”

Yan Shisan snorted coldly, and mocked the eldest prince and his wife without giving face to them, "It's a pity that the people who should be there are not there, and the people who shouldn't be there suddenly pop up, it's really a bit disappointing." ”

Zhou Yanxue was choked by Yan Thirteen and didn't know how to speak for a while, and guessed in her heart, this Yan Thirteen shouldn't be talking about her, right? After all, when she came here before, she had all together. Yes, I should say the Great Prince.

The eldest prince was calm, he was not annoyed by Yan Jiu's choking voice like this, and he could still say with a gentle smile, "Some things have changed, and people will always change, just like who would have thought that Ah Yun would marry Xiaoyue back, and the two are still so affectionate." ”

Li Yue said with a smile, "According to His Highness, it should be me who suddenly popped up and ruined the fun?" ”

The eldest prince responded, "What the county lord said is not right, according to the thirteenth brother's statement, it should be His Royal Highness and the county lord who suddenly popped up to spoil the fun." ”

Li Yue chuckled, "Heh, Your Highness is right. "It's been around for a long time, but it's like this, provoking her relationship with Thirteen.

However, Li Yue's reaction was also quite funny, she agreed with the eldest prince's statement, and she was not annoyed, and Yan Shisan also pretended not to hear it, which made the eldest prince feel like he was punching the cotton.

Zhou Yanxue said with a smile, "Marrying a wife and marrying someone will have to be experienced when you reach your age, isn't the day of the thirteenth brother coming soon, but I heard that the day of the thirteenth brother's marriage has been set." ”

Yan Shisan chuckled, "Yes, His Highness is a little lucky, but fortunately, His Highness's fiancée was just a little willful, and she didn't turn around and ruin her relationship with Her Highness to marry someone else." ”

Yan Shisan's words were naked towards Zhou Yanxue, Zhou Yanxue blushed slightly in embarrassment, and did not speak again.

The eldest prince spoke in time, "Always mention these old things, the county lord is afraid that he will be unhappy, or don't mention it, since they are all together, it is better to find some pastime to have fun." ”

The eldest prince's words did not get a response from everyone, so only Zhou Yanxue said, "Why don't we throw pots, I haven't played pot throwing for many years." ”

Yan Jiu's eyes flashed slightly, and he suddenly responded, "This is a good idea, but it's too boring to simply throw a pot, you always have to add some color, what does the eldest brother think?" ”

Someone finally responded to him, and the eldest prince didn't think much of it, and said, "Of course. ”

Li Yue asked curiously at Li Yun on the side, "What is a pitcher?" ”

Li Yunying said, "After reading it for a while, you will know." ”

Li Yue let out a soft "oh".

The voice of the conversation between the two was not small, and it also fell on the ears of Zhou Yanxue and the eldest prince word for word, Zhou Yanxue had a mocking smile on her face, and she was really a country woman, and she didn't even know how to throw pots.

The eldest prince said flatteringly, "The county lord doesn't know what the pitcher is, if you add chips, this will be a little unfair to the county lord, right?" ”

A gleam flashed in Yan Jiu's eyes, "In that case, let's win one hundred taels, and the county lord wins two hundred taels, okay?" ”

The eldest prince responded, "This is very good, thirteenth brother, Huai Jin, do you have any opinions?" ”

The two replied, "We're free." ”

Zhou Yanxue was secretly happy in her heart, looking forward to watching Li Yue make a fool of herself for a while, and losing the silver, thinking that even the smile on her face was even brighter.

When Li Zhong brought the props, Li Yue was a little contemptuous when she saw Yan Shisan demonstrate how to play for herself, this is actually called a pastime? What a childish pastime.

However, thinking that there was money to take, Li Yue was full of scenery, very excited, and even threw an appreciative look at Yan Jiu, obviously he came to give her silver.

Then Li Yue, who didn't know what the pitcher was just now, commanded Li Zhong, "It's boring to be so close, you can't win or lose in half a day, a little farther, a little farther, a little farther away, okay, barely almost." ”

This main hall is not small, and Li Yue insisted on directing Li Zhong to put the pot in the corner of the wall, but it was still barely almost.

At this time, not only Zhou Yanxue, but even the eldest prince was a little stunned, how to cast so far? Then the two of them agreed that this must be Li Yue because she can't throw the pot, so she speculates and deliberately increases the difficulty of the game, so that everyone can't shoot like her, and she won't be too ugly, but I didn't expect this Li Yue to be quite brainy.

Zhou Yanxue said unwillingly, "This is too far, right?" ”

I don't want Yan Shisan to be the first to agree and say, "This is very good, it's easy to tell the winner from the loser." ”

Zhou Yanxue was about to refute, but seeing that Yan Jiu, Zhou Huaijin and even Li Yun nodded in agreement, Zhou Yanxue had to close her mouth, and a trace of gloom flashed in her eyes.

Then the game begins, a total of ten arrows, one round after another, anyway, the one with the less, give more silver than yourself, one hundred taels of arrows.

At this time, Li Yue was already happy in her heart, and she seemed to have seen the silver of the white flowers in front of her, and she was happy in her heart that today was really a good day, and she was going to make money on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

At Li Yue's request, let's see how they voted, so I naturally ranked myself last, at first the eldest prince, two were thrown, Yan Thirteen one, Zhou Huaijin one, Yan Jiu two, Li Yun two, Zhou Yanxue Of course none of them hit.

After Zhou Yanxue finished throwing, it was finally Li Yue's turn, the eldest prince and Zhou Yanxue didn't care much, in their opinion, Li Yue didn't know what a pot thrower was, and he definitely couldn't hit a single one.

When Li Yue's first arrow fell into the pot in the distance, the two of them were guilty in their hearts, their luck was too good, but when the second, third, and fourth arrows all landed accurately in the pot, the two of them widened their eyes a little dumbfounded, ten arrows, nine were thrown in, and one was bounced out because it hit another arrow.

Li Yue smiled and narrowed her eyes, stretched out her hand and said unceremoniously to everyone, "Bring all the silver." ”

How can it be? The eldest prince and Zhou Yanxue looked incredulous, and Yan Shisan, who listened to it, said with annoyance, "No, it's just that when you shoot an arrow, you can shoot an arrow." ”

Li Yue replied with a smile, "Isn't it all a principle, don't be verbose, hurry up and give money." ”

Zhou Yanxue and the eldest prince finally knew at this time, why did Li Yue put the pot so far, she was bound to win, she calculated to cheat them out of their money, and this pit was dug by themselves, and then she jumped down without hesitation, more than three thousand taels of silver, and it was gone.

The eldest prince gritted his teeth, took out the silver ticket from his arms, counted it to Li Yue, and regarded it as an investment to win them over, and then counted out the silver that Zhou Yanxue lost to several other people.

After that, Yan Jiusan and Zhou Huaijin also gave the silver tickets to Li Yue one after another, and then Li Yue counted the silver tickets, took the silver tickets won by Li Yun, and said to Li Yun on the side, "You don't have to give the rest, anyway, all your silver is mine." ”

This game of pot throwing, of course, is a round down, and no one wants to continue to play with Li Yue.

Li Yue received the money, and the person was happy, so he instructed Li Zhong on the side, "You go to the kitchen and say, let me prepare more good wine and food, we have guests here." ”

"No," Li Zhong responded, and was about to leave, Li Yue said suspiciously, "Why didn't you see Mother Wu?" ”

Li Zhong responded, "Mother Wu said that she was a little uncomfortable, so her subordinates let Mother Wu rest." ”

Li Yue let out an "oh", waved his hand at Li Zhong and asked him to get busy, thinking in his heart that he would wait for someone to leave, and go to see Mother Wu by himself, but don't be sick and dragged, a minor illness has become a major illness.

Seeing Li Yue taking the initiative to entertain them like this, the eldest prince originally planned to stay here for lunch, and by the way, observe and observe, what is going on with these people, I don't want to just throw the pot not long after the pot, everyone didn't have time to say a few words, this week Yuanhou sent someone over, saying that the Hou Ye and Mrs. invited a few people over for lunch.

Of course, Li Yun, Yan Jiu and the others directly refused, and the next person was not reluctant, but said to Zhou Yanxue that Lord Hou and his wife missed the eldest princess very much, and asked the eldest princess to go over for lunch.

A dim and uncertain light flashed in the eldest prince's eyes, and in the end, he was considerate and kind and decided to accompany Zhou Yanxue to go to the Hou Ye's side for lunch and say goodbye to a few people.

After the eldest prince Zhou Yanxue left, Li Yue smiled and squinted her eyes and praised Yanjiu, "Yes, you helped me earn so much silver, and when my teahouse opens, I will give you a twenty percent discount." ”

Yan Jiu smiled indifferently, he didn't plan to care about this bit of silver, after all, the amount of silver Li Yun gave him was not known how many times more than this bit of silver.

Yan Jiu and Zhou Huaijin shouted unwillingly, "No, you also want our silver?" We bet on what kind of pot in order to cooperate with you, otherwise who will play with you. ”

Zhou Huaijin also followed, "That's it, Xiaoyue, we are all here to cooperate with you, should you return the silver to us?" ”

Li Yue replied with a smile, "If you are willing to lose the bet, why are you two big men so upright?" Learn more from Yan Jiu, and when the teahouse opens, I will remember to give you a discount. ”

Yan Shisan was very speechless and said, "Pick the door, dig into the money." ”

Li Yue replied with a smile indifferently, "Have you ever lacked food and clothing, and you can't appreciate the importance of money to me." ”
