Chapter 76: The Banquet (II)

After a few more rounds, everyone more or less played cards, only Gu Xiurong played another card with his brows locked.

Chu Xiao suddenly laughed and said, "Thank you Gu will reward you and eat chicken alone." ”

After a few laps, I lost a few hundred taels of silver.

Gu Xiurong shook his head helplessly: "These thirteen cards are really difficult to play." ”

Gu Mingzhu got closer, and it was another new game.

Suddenly, a voice came from the door: "I'm sorry everyone, I'm late." ”

Several people looked at it.

At the door, Chi Feng and Xu Jue were walking in.

Both tables stood up.

Ge Baoxue stepped forward: "I've seen Xu Shizi." ”

Xu Jue was wearing his usual clothes and smiled faintly: "I met Lord Qi at the door, I know that all the forbidden army brothers are here tonight, and you are uninvited, the commander doesn't mind having one more person." ”

Ge Baoxue laughed and said: "The prince is too polite, there is enough wine tonight." ”

After some greetings, Xu Jue stood behind Gu Xiurong.

Gu Mingzhu lowered his eyes and looked at the cards.

After paying the money again, Xu Jue couldn't help but smile and said, "Xiu Rong, I think you want to be the east today." ”

Ge Bao became interested: "Oh? The prince also understands this? ”

"A little bit of it, in the early years, the captives of Fanbang played these."

Ge Baoxue laughed: "Xiu Rong, Xiu Rong, it's really not good, you let Xu Shizi play two games, if you lose like this again, you will probably be going to be the east tonight." ”

Several people knew that the two had a good relationship, so they smiled and said that they would let Xu Jue come, and they also wanted to have a warm relationship with this prince who was not very close to people on weekdays.

Gu Xiurong got up with relief: "Yes, let Ah Jue come for me, I have to drink some wine to sober up my mind." ”

The crowd laughed again.

Xu Jue sat down in Gu Xiurong's seat.

Gu Mingzhu hooked her lips and smiled silently.

Cen saw Gu Mingzhu look at the cards for a long time, and said while touching the cards: "Do you want to give it a try?" ”

Gu Mingzhu glanced at him.

Everyone present is a little clear, when did Cen Shen take the initiative to talk to the girl, Ge Baoxue played the field: "Yes, yes, yes, how boring it is to watch on the side, the girl also came together, this kid won the most tonight, and the girl released water to him." ”

Cen Shen had already stood up.

Gu Mingzhu was a little difficult to ride a tiger, and it was difficult to blow his face, so he sat down.

Cen sat down behind her.

Gu Mingzhu was playing for the first time, so he played extra seriously.

Ge Baoxue chatted casually: "Why is the prince free to come here today?" ”

Xu Jue said with a smile: "It's also a coincidence, just came out of the palace, I haven't eaten dinner yet, I'm a mouthful, I don't want to settle for it, I gave up my way to the Thirteen Gardens, you said it's a coincidence, I met Lord Qi at the door." ”

Chi Feng, who was sitting next to him and clinking glasses with Gu Xiurong, laughed when he heard this: "It's really a coincidence, I have a fate with the son." ”

He raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, poured a new cup, and walked straight towards Xu Jue: "Shizi, just by virtue of this fate, you and I have to have a drink." ”

Xu Jue was particularly talkative today, took the wine, and said, "But it's disrespectful." ”

The friendship between the two seems to have been close because of this glass of wine.

His afterglow swept over Gu Mingzhu, Gu Mingzhu bowed slightly, and Chi Feng nodded, even if he had seen the courtesy.

Gu Mingzhu played a card.

Ge Baoxue continued the topic just now and said, "The prince came out of the palace so late? How is the emperor's dragon body today? ”

Xu Jue said: "The decoction has been changed several times, but there is no improvement. ”

Ge Baoxue sighed lightly: "The prince is already seriously ill and has no medical treatment, and the emperor's illness is urgent, which is not a good sign." ”

Xu Jue said: "There is a great commander in the palace, why be afraid." ”

Ge Bao learned: "The son of the world is in love, I have handed over the excerpt of this quotation for a few days, and I will be raising it at home from tomorrow, it is really a recurrence of old injuries, and I have to listen to my wife." ”

Xu Jue smiled: "The Great Commander is ridiculing us and others, envying your wife and children." ”

Ge Baoxue laughed, played a card with his hand, and was about to speak.

Xu Jue smiled slightly and pushed the card: "Win, Commander Xie will receive the reward." ”

Ge Baoxue was quite interested: "Come again." ”

Touched another handful of cards, Ge Bao learned: "The emperor can't go to the early dynasty, the folds of this imperial study section are piled up faster than the mountain, the matter of Dangzhou has not subsided, Chizhou has been in chaos again, and the Duwei Mansion has been lifted, and the court is not in his eyes." ”

Xu Jue said: "They were all forced. ”

"Oh?" Ge Baoxue was surprised, he thought about it for a while, and then said: "The prince also thinks that increasing the indoor tax is not a good way. ”

Xu Jue didn't speak, playing cards.

Chu Xiao answered: "The indoor tax is the emperor's personal nod, and no one can do anything about it." ”

It was Gu Mingzhu's turn to play cards.

Xu Jue said: "Whether there is a way or not, this civil unrest is a fact, and it is also a fact that there is turmoil in various places." ”

Both of them nodded in agreement, and Ge Bao said: "I'm afraid that there will be no result in the matter in Chizhou." ”

Gu Mingzhu hesitated.

Cen saw that she drew a card and put it back, hesitated, smiled, and whispered, "Girl, you can play the rightmost one." ”

The card table is full of acquaintances, and she is Gu Xiurong's sister, so she doesn't care about it.

Gu Mingzhu listened to him and played cards.

Xu Jue raised his eyebrows slightly, and said: "The emperor is unconscious, but the king mentioned this matter to me before leaving the palace, and he wanted to go to Chizhou to quell the civil strife." ”

"King Duan is going to Chizhou?" Both of them were dumbfounded.

"If the emperor can't do it in the past two days, King Duan will set off on his own."

Suddenly, Cen Shen smiled in a low voice and said, "Look, isn't this coming." ”

Immediately, Gu Mingzhu happily pushed the card: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have accepted." ”

Xu Jue glanced at him quietly.

A few people didn't care too much about the win or loss, so they took out the money and started a new game.

Chu Xiao groaned: "King Duan is now prestigious, if he can really calm down the matter of Chizhou, then ......"

He didn't say it explicitly, but everyone knew it.

Those who came today are all good friends on weekdays, and everyone is not so taboo to speak.

Qi Feng sat at another table drinking wine, and said: "This His Royal Highness Duan Wang is brave and strategic, but he has a bit of the style of the East Palace." ”

The cards are played casually.

Cen Shen approached a little and nodded softly at Gu Mingzhu.

Even if she didn't look at it, she felt the occasional glances of the people above, but because of the large number of people, she didn't realize that she won another time under Cen Shen's suggestion.

Several people watched the two get along, and they were a little tacit, and they just didn't know, and it was a new situation in the blink of an eye.

Xu Jue played slower this time and said, "What does Master Qi think? Is it possible that His Royal Highness Duan Wang will be the future master of the East Palace. ”

Chiffon turned his wine glass.

He knew that Xu Jue and Chu Zhao didn't have much friendship, and if it was true, the two sides would have confronted each other, but afterwards Gu Xiurong also explained that he and Gu Mingzhu had no selfish feelings: "If you want me to say, Prince De's wings are gradually broken now, and this result is really hard to say." ”

Xu Jue smiled: "Lord Qi's eyes are vicious, I look at His Royal Highness King Duan, and I also have a bit of an imperial style." ”

"Oh? What does the prince think about Chizhou? ”

Xu Jue pinched the cards in his hand, smiled lightly, and said: "According to the current point of view, Duanwang must go, if he comes back from Chizhou for meritorious service, then there is no need to guess everything." ”

Xu Jue pushed the card: "Take a look." ”

Several people looked at his cards.

The commander of the Yulin Army took a closer look and was overjoyed: "Oops! This color! The son of the world...... Wonderful! ”
