The Grand Princess

Chapter 40: casino

The two were so tired that they woke up in the early morning of the next day. This time I slept too long and woke up hungry. After Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan woke up to wash, they immediately declared meals.

Most of the people in the princess's mansion, Li Rong, are familiar with. Pei Wenxuan had known it in his previous life, but now that he is a new life, even if he is clear in his heart, he will pretend to meet for the first time.

So after eating, the two spent another morning familiarizing themselves with the personnel in the princess mansion, and then the two had time to be alone.

Pei Wenxuan's marriage leave lasted for nine days. After nine days, he went to court normally. The people they should meet have already met. When the time is left, Li Rong thought for a while and preached with Pei Wen: "Let's go to Shangguanya first? "

What Li Rong remembered most at the moment was Li Chuan's marriage. Pei Wenxuan was able to say something, but he didn't object to it. He directly called someone over, prepared a carriage, and went to Shangguan with Li Rong.

Pei Wenxuan wrote a post on the road, and couldn't help but say: "How do you know she is here?"

"Before getting married, let people always inquire about it," Li Rong said lazily, sitting aside reading a free book, "she arrived before getting married, but she was busy at that time and couldn't control her."

As she said, she looked up at Pei Wenxuan: "Has the post been written? I'll take a look after it is finished."

Pei Wenxuan laughed: "A greeting note, what is there to look at?"

"Aya is very particular. If you can't write a good post, she might not bother to see it."

"You can rest assured," Pei Wenxuan handed over the written post. "She dare not see me, but she dare not see you."

Li Rong was happy to hear these words, but she still read Pei Wenxuan's post. Pei Wenxuan's post is so beautiful even if it only talks about words. Li Rong couldn't help but praised: "You, Jin Yu Among them, the people are very beautiful and the characters are very beautiful."

"What you said," Pei Wenxuan couldn't laugh or cry, "do you hurt me or hurt yourself?"

"How did I hurt myself?" Li Rong looked up strangely, Pei Wenxuan pulled the post back from her hand, moved a little further away, and said with a smile, "After all, your writing is not pretty."

When Li Rong heard this, she knocked her hand and said, "Do you think this carriage is so big, what protection can it give you?"

"But," Pei Wenxuan turned around and said immediately, "His Royal Highness, that's a show of beauty and beauty, perfect."

Li Rong "pouch" laughed out loud, and Pei Wenxuan did not continue to be poor. Pei Wenxuan thought for a while and said with some worry: "We go straight to this, what if Miss Shangguan is not here?"

"If she is not at home, she must be at some tea house poetry club. There are only a few places where she used to go before entering the palace. We have time, so we can find it very well."

Li Rong said with confidence, Pei Wenxuan nodded, but didn't worry about it.

The two of them went all the way to the Shangguan’s mansion, paid a greeting, and the concierge sent the post to the Shangguan’s mansion. After a while, the Shangguan’s butler came out in person and respectfully said: "Your Majesty, I’m sorry, today my lady accepted the collection. The poetry club invited me to attend the tea party. You can see, if you don’t want to go back to the princess mansion first, and when my lady comes back, the old slave asks the lady to go to the princess mansion to apologize?"

"We took the liberty to come," Li Rong laughed, "Where can I blame Miss, since she is in Jiwen Poetry Club, I will be in the past."

The children of the nobles in Huajingzhong established poetry clubs in vogue. They met in the teahouse and held a tea party on weekdays to write poems and talk. It can be regarded as an elegant social event in Huajingzhong.

It's just that this kind of activity not only has a high identity threshold, but also has extremely high requirements for the participants themselves. Shangguan Ya Neng got the post of Jiwen Poetry Society within a few days after entering Beijing, which shows that he has extraordinary ability.

Li Rong is not surprised, sitting on the carriage and smiling with Pei Wenxuan: "I said she was either at home or in the poetry club, are you credible?"

Pei Wenxuan nodded: "You know her."

"After all, I have known each other for so many years." Li Rong thought about seeing Shangguanya soon. She couldn't help but feel a little happy. The fan was spinning in her hand. She couldn't help but recall the time when she saw Shangguanya at the beginning of the year. It’s a pity to know her so early. Although she is a woman, she does not lose sight of the family. Talking with her is dignified, polite and witty, which makes people extremely happy. The only pity," Li Rong sighed, "Premier Li A bit."

Pei Wenxuan listened quietly, until he didn't speak, he lowered his head to drink tea, and didn't comment much.

Li Rong talked casually about some interesting things with Shangguanya, and went to Jiwen Poetry Club.

Jiwen Poetry Club is the most prestigious and richest poetry society in Huajing. It has opened a separate Jiwen Tea House, where it is located in this tea house.

Li Rong got out of the carriage directly with Pei Wenxuan, reported Pei Wenxuan's name, and walked in. As soon as they entered the teahouse, a waiter came up to the reception and asked which group of people they had invited. Li Rong smiled and said directly to the receptionist: "I heard that Miss Shangguanya is here today. I wonder if you can give us a report?"

"Miss Shangguan?" The person in the poetry club was a little at a loss after hearing this. "Miss Shangguan is not here today."

After hearing these words, Li Rong paused. She turned her head and said in surprise: "She didn't come?"

"not coming."

The receptionist laughed: "Miss Shangguan came to Huajing some time ago, so she came here once."

When Li Rong got this, he immediately knew it was wrong. Pei Wenxuan stood by, coughed lightly, smiled and looked at Li Rong and said, "I said she should go to another place. You still don't believe me, this little brother," Pei Wenxuan turned to look at the attendant, "Do you know where Miss Shangguan has been to?"

"I can..."

Before he finished speaking, the attendant watched Pei Wenxuan shine a silver coin from his sleeve. The younger brother looked up at Pei Wenxuan, and Pei Wenxuan nodded. The younger brother hesitated for a moment before finally saying: "Miss Shangguan's whereabouts," We don’t know. However, I heard someone say that someone saw that Miss Shangguan had a pass card for Jucai Hall. Why don’t you go there and look for it?"

After hearing this, Li Rong's face was shocked, and it was not surprising that Pei Wen declared it. He gave the money to the little brother of the attendant, and then pulled out Li Rong, who was full of disbelief.

When he went out, he ordered his servants to find a friend to borrow the token from the Jucai Hall, then pulled Li Rong into the carriage and walked to the Jucai Hall.

It took a long time for Li Rong to recover from the carriage, and immediately said, "Are you really going to Jucai Hall?!"

Jucai Pavilion is the most famous gambling house in Huajing. Li Rong felt unreliable after he was relieved, and immediately said, "That person is absolutely nonsense, don't waste time in such a place."

"It's all here," Pei Wenxuan brought the tea, smiled and raised his eyes, and glanced at Li Rong. "It's okay to go there, maybe there is no surprise?"

"Impossible." When Li Rong saw Pei Wenxuan's smile with a good-looking look, she suddenly became a little unhappy, and sneered, "Don't waste your time, I know you have opinions about Aya..."

"Stop, stop," Pei Wenxuan raised his hand to stop Li Rong, "I have no opinion on Miss Shangguan, don't talk nonsense."

"Then I praised her for your loss," Li Rong sneered, "What is your name?"

"I really don't have any opinion on her," Pei Wenxuan took a sip of tea and pointed the lid of the tea bowl in Li Rong's direction. "I have an opinion on you."

Li Rong: "..."

Suddenly felt that there seemed to be so much truth.

"I'm just curious," Pei Wenxuan laughed, "I live my life again, can I see something different."

"It may be different," Li Rong vowed, "but it's definitely not such a thing."

"Then your Royal Highness gambled with me?" Pei Wenxuan raised his hand by the window and said with a smile, "What if Miss Shangguan is in the Jucai Pavilion today?"

"If Aya is in the Jucai Pavilion," Li Rong was very bold, "I will buy you a carriage immediately."

"His Royal Highness," Pei Wenxuan shook his fan, "I am now in the princess's mansion. Do you think I still remember a carriage? Do you despise me or you?"

Pei Wenxuan's words sounded right, and Li Rong nodded and said, "You make a lot of sense, so what do you want?"

Pei Wenxuan thought for a while, but didn't know what to ask for.

He hadn't bet with Li Rong before. When he was young, he let Li Rong kiss him when he lost the bet. It is absolutely impossible to bet on these now.

Pei Wenxuan thought about it, and then said: "I can't think of it for the time being, it's better to bet a bit bigger, the princess promises me to do something. This matter is only about the princess itself, has nothing to do with the court, and does not violate the princess' morality, such as washing clothes. "Fin, fetch water and dress," Pei Wenxuan said, and couldn't help laughing for a while, "It's not bad to be a little maid serving me."

"You dare to think about it." Li Rong sneered. "Should she not be here?"

"Well," Pei Wenxuan thought for a while, "What does your Royal Highness want?"

"After your guard is built, give me the Eagles inside as a guard."

Li Rong lion spoke loudly, and Pei Wenxuan felt helpless for a while, feeling that this man was so uninteresting.

His secret guards were divided into four teams of eagles, tigers, wolfs and foxes. Li Rong asked for a whole elite, Pei Wenxuan sighed. Li Rong thought that Pei Wenxuan was not willing to bet and was about to laugh at him, so he listened to Pei Wenxuan erect two. Finger: "Twenty Eagles, okay?"

"People from the Sky Team?"

"Yes." Pei Wenxuan nodded, and Li Rong suddenly laughed, as if taking advantage of something: "The palace would like to thank Master Pei in advance."

Pei Wenxuan turned his hand and smiled without saying a word.

The carriage quickly arrived at the entrance of the Jucai Pavilion. When the two got off the carriage, they saw that the guard who had borrowed the pass was already waiting at the door. The man took the pass and handed it to Pei Wenxuan. Pei Wenxuan nodded and received Take Li Rong to the Jucai Hall together.

The two did not want to be too public, so they asked the guards to wait at the door and walk towards the Jucai Pavilion. There was a doorman standing at the door of the Jucai Pavilion. As soon as they arrived at the door, the doorman shouted: "The door of Jucai opens to the east. Come in if you have money or no money. Are the two nobles rich or not?"

Hearing this code word, Pei Wenxuan handed over the pass and smiled: "We have money."

The doorman took the pass and looked at it carefully, then turned his head and said: "Tianzi distinguished guest, please--"

After the doorman shouted, a middle-aged man came in from inside and invited Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan in. The middle-aged man and two people introduced the Jucai Hall all the way. The two of them listened absent-mindedly. After entering the hall, Pei Wenxuan nodded and said: "Don't worry about us, let's play for a while."

The middle-aged man responded with a smile, then turned and left.

Two people wandering in the crowd, it is very lively, people coming and going, both male and female, seem extremely excited.

Pei Wenxuan was afraid that people would collide with Li Rong, so he had to raise his hand to protect Li Rong and clear the way for her. While he was protecting her, he said, "I am helping you, so don't think too much."

Li Rong glanced at Pei Wenxuan faintly: "The more you talk, the more you think."

Pei Wenxuan: "..."

It makes sense.

The two people circled in the crowd, Li Rong's heart gradually relaxed, and couldn't help but say: "I said, how could Aya come to such a place, Master Pei..."

Before they finished speaking, the two people vaguely heard a familiar voice from the crowd, shouting excitedly: "Big! Big! Big!"

The moment Li Rong heard this sound, she felt as if she had been struck by thunder. When the two of them looked back together, they saw a faintly like Shangguanya shadow in the crowd, lying in front of the gaming table, knocking hard. The word "big" on the table, a pair of eyes stared at the sieve cup that was about to open, the eyes seemed to glow.

But the man was wearing men's clothing and couldn't see his face clearly. Li Rong was not sure for a while whether she had heard the voice wrong or...

Before she could react, the sieve was opened at the table, and amidst cheers and sighs, the short girl shouted "Concession and Concession", while saying that she took the money to her.

It's just that she was only halfway to the money, she seemed to realize something, stood up, said a few words to the person next to her, and walked to the small door next to her.

Li Rong reacted immediately and immediately said, "Catch up with her."

She must figure out whether this is Shangguanya.

If it's not for Shangguanya, it's okay, if it's Shangguanya...

In the last life, Shangguanya pretended to her for a lifetime? !

Li Rong was full of shock. She hurriedly chased in the direction that the girl ran over, and Pei Wenxuan hurriedly followed her out of the crowd.

The other party was very smart. She obviously realized that Li Rong had caught up with her, so she speeded up and rushed out all the way.

Li Rong didn't care about her manners for a while, and ran forward after chasing the girl, urging Pei Wenxuan, "Chasing! Can't even a girl win?!"

Helpless, Pei Wenxuan speeded up and chased the girl over.

Shangguanya, who was running ahead, realized that Pei Wenxuan was approaching. She knew that she would be caught if she ran down. So she swept around, suddenly raised her hand to the side window, and jumped over the small round window.

The window was too small for Pei Wenxuan to drill through. He froze in place for a while. Li Rong saw from a distance and cursed, "Is this a monkey spirit!"

After that, he passed directly by Pei Wenxuan, supporting himself slightly awkwardly, and jumped past the round window.

Pei Wenxuan opened his eyes wide, as if he had seen a ghost, and then listened to Li Rong loudly: "Come on a detour, fool!"

Pei Wenxuan reacted. He realized that Li Rong was really unwilling to give up on catching Guanya, so he could only look at the route a bit, and quickly moved around the wall to the nearby courtyard, and continued the two rushing over.

Li Rong chased Shangguanya all the way. Although she was some distance away from Shangguanya and couldn't catch her at all, she was very resilient, and she could chase after people as long as she could see a shadow.

In order to get rid of her, Shangguanya rushed to a small building dedicated to rest in the backyard. Li Rong hurried to catch up. When Pei Wenxuan entered the yard, he just saw two girls walking upstairs one after another. After thinking about it, she simply walked across from the first floor. Shangguanya couldn't keep going upstairs. She would definitely find a way out from the upstairs and run out of the Jucai Hall.

Shangguanya really thought so. As soon as she went up, she found her way from the second floor. There is a relatively short window on the second floor of this small building. After jumping down and climbing a tree over a wall, she can leave the Jucai Hall. As long as she is not caught, she has room for argument.

Shangguanya had a good abacus, but Li Rong kept chasing her. She hurriedly shook off Li Rong and rushed to the window. She planned to climb down slowly, but before she reached the window, she listened to Li Rong scream A cry: "Shangguanya, stop for me!"

Shangguanya was so frightened that she slipped and shivered, she fell directly from the window.

The turban she used to tie her hair had long since ran away. When she fell, she was hooked by a branch protruding from the side, and the blue silk spread out instantly.

Shangguan Ya said softly, her weightlessness made her heart panic.

At that moment, the young man downstairs, who was closing his eyes and leaning against the tree, opened his eyes and saw a girl descend from the sky. The young man subconsciously raised his hand and took the person into his arms.

The summer sun shines on people, so that the young man has his own radiance. The young man has a handsome face and smiles: "It was a nap, I don't want to have a beautiful woman from heaven."

Shangguanya reacted instantly, slapped the other party "slap", then jumped out of the young man's arms, and turned to run.

The young man was stunned, and then immediately reacted and grabbed her.

Shangguan Ya shouted angrily: "Let go!"

The young man smiled slightly and said: "Hidden? I'll help you."

Shangguanya stayed for a while, then stuffed her into the haystack beside her, and directly buckled a bamboo basket next to her on her head.

As soon as the youth finished picking the bamboo basket, Li Rong ran to the window, and she saw the youth standing downstairs at a glance.

She was taken aback for a moment, and then she was surprised: "Master Su?"

Su Ronghua turned his head with a smile, and was a little surprised when he saw Li Rong. He quickly swept his gaze to the bamboo basket beside him, then quickly retracted it, and said with a smile: "Why is your Royal Highness here?"

"The son can see a girl dressed in men's clothing?"

"I saw it," Su Ronghua pointed a fan out of the courtyard, "ran away."

Li Rong pursed her lips. She looked at the distance between the window and the ground, and made a decisive decision: "Maybe the old man can help?"

"His Royal Highness, please speak."

"I'm jumping down now, you pick me up."

Su Ronghua was stunned, and only after a while did he react and said, "Oh, good."

With that, Su Ronghua stretched out her hand, and Li Rong pulled her skirt and stepped on the window. Before she could move, she heard Pei Wenxuan yell from the side: "Li Rong!"

Li Rong was so frightened that he threw it down. Before Su Ronghua had time to move, he saw someone rushing forward and took Li Rong, who had suddenly fallen, into his arms.

Pei Wenxuan came too hurriedly, and Li Rong was embarrassed.

He was obviously angry. Li Rong lay in his arms, staring blankly at Pei Wenxuan who was inexplicably angry.

Pei Wenxuan didn't speak, he put her on the ground and said, "Are you okay?"

"No..." Li Rong rarely saw such battles, and felt a little guilty for a while: "It's okay."

Pei Wenxuan nodded and didn't say anything to her. Su Ronghua still didn't know what happened. Standing behind Pei Wenxuan, he smiled and said: "That girl just now..."

Before he finished speaking, Pei Wenxuan turned around and slapped Su Ronghua with a slap.

Su Ronghua covered her face in shock and turned her head back, looking at Pei Wenxuan, "What are you doing with me?"

After a while, he thought of another question: "Why do you still slap me when you hit me?"

The anger was late, Su Ronghua raised his voice: "Are you a woman?!"
