The Child Emperor
Chapter 98 The First Invitation
There are not many courageous people who dare to be brave, and gambling can definitely occupy a place in it.
Zhang Yanghao really found three people to play dice with the Emperor Abandoned, plus himself, just enough to make up five people. Everything went smoothly. The method of the Emperor Abandoned was as embarrassing as his movement skills. It shouldn't be. When the emperor claimed that he was tired and asked his followers to play for a while, Zhang Yanghao and others agreed without thinking.
An hour later, it was dark outside, and the four noble children knelt on the mat and stared blankly at a few dice, still not understanding how all this happened.
Except for Zhang Yanghao, the others didn't give out their names from the beginning, they were only called "Young Master".
Du Chuanyun knelt down opposite the four of them, with his hands on his knees, his eyes scanned over and over again, waiting for them to bet, he was not in a hurry at all, this was the case with everyone who was winning.
Zhang Yanghao lost the most, and it was all the money he had finally borrowed, "How much?" He turned his head and asked.
Han Ruzi sat bored on a chair in the corner, picked up a piece of paper on the table, and looked at the oil lamp for a while, "Not much, the four young masters together have just passed 6,000 taels."
The four people brought little cash, they had already lost all of it, and the amount recorded on the paper was in arrears.
A young man angrily punched the mat and said to Du Chuanyun, "You cheat!"
"The dice are yours, how can I cheat? You should show me one."
"Come on Huanhou, we won't play with you anymore." Another young man said.
"You all said it was fine when I was on the court, but now you regret it? Huanhouhou came up, okay, let's settle the account first." Du Chuanyun stretched out a hand, facing Xungui's children without fear.
"Don't play anymore, I said it's Marquis Juan, what are you playing with a servant?" The third son stood up.
"You can also ask a servant to roll the dice for you." Du Chuanyun said with a smile.
The three invited sons angrily wanted to leave, and Han Ruzi greeted them, "Wait, I don't really understand the rules, but you have to sign on this piece of paper, or I will ask someone for money in the future. go?"
The three stopped and looked at Zhang Yanghao together. Before coming to gamble, they agreed that they would never reveal their identities, so they didn't even bring in their personal entourage.
"Just find me, these three young masters are guaranteed by me." Zhang Yanghao said bravely.
"That's good, the three of you walk slowly." Han Ruzi clasped his fists to see him off. As soon as the three of them went out, he said to Zhang Yanghao, "I didn't expect to win, come on, let's split..."
Zhang Yanghao hurried to the door, glanced outside, closed the door, turned around and whispered, "Are you going to kill me?"
"Don't you want money? Nearly two thousand taels of silver, although it's not much, you deserve it." Han Ruzi didn't care about the proportion of the share and was willing to give Zhang Yanghao 30%.
These silvers can almost offset the gambling book he lost tonight, but if he is heard by the three young masters, he will be in trouble.
"Hehe, why not." Zhang Yanghao walked slowly towards Marquis Juan, but kept his eyes on Du Chuanyun, "Where did Marquis Juan find such a master?"
"I didn't find it, I asked the people in the house who could play dice, he came out, and I brought it here." Han Ruzi pointed at the paper on the table, "I can really get the money back, don't let me be happy for nothing. field."
"Don't worry, everyone is a respectable person, and their family is not short of this money. At most three days, they will definitely be sent to the Marquis Mansion. You can decide how to collect it and explain it to the mansion."
"That's it, let's say goodbye too. To be honest, it's not a big win or loss, I thought it would cost tens of thousands a night." Han Ruzi looked disappointed.
Zhang Yanghao laughed dryly, "They're here for Hou Juan. If you let others play for you, of course they're not interested."
"I also don't think it's very interesting. Forget it. After closing this account, I won't be looking for you in the future."
"Don't, Juan Hou wants to play big, I can find someone, but they may also find a master to fight for him."
"I don't mind, you can go find it." Han Ruzi held down the accounting paper, "Anyway, you have to draw a bet, it's not that I don't believe you, but I have this piece of paper and a bunch of numbers in my hand. It's not solid."
Zhang Yanghao walked over with a smile, picked up a pen and signed, "Within three days, this pile of money will be real money."
Zhang Yanghao personally sent the master and servant out.
The gambling location is not far from Baiwang Lane. It is a small courtyard of a big house. There is a separate door leading to the back alley, which is very hidden.
Zhang Youcai was nervously waiting at the back door of the Marquis Mansion. Seeing that the master had returned safely, he let out a long sigh, "Just this time, don't go out at night in the future."
"It depends on the situation." Han Ruzi said with a smile.
When he came to the study, Du Chuanyun said, "I didn't do well today."
"Haven't you won enough? Thirty percent of the money is yours."
"Of course it's not enough. You made me play too early. You should play by yourself tonight. It's okay to lose some money. If you catch their interest, you can win more next time you bet. Now they are on guard. Next time Either don't play, or find a master."
"Are you afraid of masters?"
"I've never been afraid of anyone playing dice, but there are indeed a few masters in the capital. I'm not sure that I'll win every time. I don't know if these princes and princes know them well and can invite them. I'll go out and find out tomorrow."
Du Chuanyun didn't want to stay in the study too much, so he turned around and left.
Zhang Youcai served Hou Juan to bed, and whispered: "The identity of the master is extraordinary, and you can't always take risks with yourself. After finally stabilizing, there is no shortage of everything in the house, and the lady is gentle and virtuous..."
"One night, I won almost three thousand taels of silver, and Du Chuanyun two thousand taels."
Zhang Youcai was startled, opened and closed his mouth several times, and said with difficulty, "We don't lack this money, right?"
"It's easy to come by, why not? And the accumulation of less can make a lot, and it will be tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of taels in the future!"
"I think..." Zhang Youcai sighed, "Master, rest."
The gambling tired Hou must have disappointed some people, but Han Ruzi couldn't explain much, and he didn't want to explain. Doesn't idleness fit the image of a "dark prince"?
Du Chuanyun didn't care about this, the whole thing was a game of rivers and lakes for him, and he enjoyed it. The next day he spent the next day looking for news outside the mansion, and only came back in the middle of the night. , smiled: "Everything went well."
In the afternoon, Zhang Yanghao brought the money and went to visit directly, and he didn't care if it was recorded by the government chief.
He also sent an invitation card: The day after tomorrow is the 70th birthday of Mrs. Hengyang Hou. The lady is the sister of Emperor Wu, known as the "Master of Hengyang", so he invited the children of the clan to the banquet.
There is something in the family of the noble family, and the Marquis Mansion has to give gifts according to the rules. This is the first time I have received an invitation, but Han Ruzi noticed that the signature was not the Marquis of Hengyang or the Lord of Hengyang, but Chai Yun, a regular attendant of Sanqi.
Zhang Yanghao explained: "Chai Yun is the grandson of the Marquis of Hengyang. He is the most favored at home and is about the same age as us. Therefore, we invite some people to the banquet alone. We don't need to go to the ceremony.
Zhang Yanghao said goodbye, and the palace chief was very nervous. No matter how much good wine and meat, he couldn't turn one eye or close one eye. He immediately went to Zongzheng's mansion to report. In the evening, the only answer he got was "I know, go back." , not even an official document.
Although he was still not at ease, Zeng Fucheng could finally close one eye justifiably.
Du Chuanyun was gearing up for another battle, and everyone in the mansion was happy that Marquis Tien was invited, with only one exception.
Cui Xiaojun noticed that her husband's rest was not as punctual as before, and occasionally she would stay alone in the study for the night. That night, after changing clothes and going to bed, she did not lie in the duvet, but sat in the bed and wanted to have a good time with her husband. Talk about it.
After Han Ruzi went to bed, he had to sit opposite and said with a smile, "What's wrong? Do you want to practice too?"
Meng E taught a new method, and Han Ruzi took a little time to meditate every day, and there was no way to hide this kind of thing from his wife.
Cui Xiaojun tilted his legs to one side, not in a meditating posture, and said sternly: "I heard that the Lord of Hengyang is on his birthday, and Hou Wan was also invited."
"That's right, the day after tomorrow, aren't you happy?"
"It's not that you're unhappy, it's just... Does Hou Tien know about the Hou family of Hengyang?"
Han Ruzi shook his head, "I only know that Lord Hengyang is Emperor Wu's sister."
"The Lord of Hengyang was very prominent back then, and Emperor Huan was able to become the crown prince. It is said that she had a lot of credit."
"No wonder she dared to invite me."
"Is it really the Lord of Hengyang who invited Marquis Tire?"
Han Ruzi wanted to pretend to be confused. After thinking about it, he decided to tell the truth, "It's Chai Yun, the grandson of the Marquis of Hengyang. It should be the same, right?"
Cui Xiaojun sighed, "As I expected."
"What did you expect?"
"Chai Yun is not a good person."
"You know him?" Han Ruzi was a little surprised.
"I don't know him, but some of my older brothers do. They are all friends. You can see what kind of character Chai Yun is by looking at what my brother has done."
Han Ruzi's heart fell to the ground, his plan was about to succeed, and there were many connections between the noble and noble children. In the palace, although the East Sea King deliberately concealed it, he still showed that he was familiar with Zhang Yanghao. Through this line, Han Ruzi believed in himself. Soon I can see the East Sea King again and find out whether he has a conspiracy or not.
"What are you laughing at?" Cui Xiaojun asked.
"Am I smiling?" Han Ruzi touched his face.
Cui Xiaojun said solemnly, "Don't hide it from me, are you intending to contact Chai Yun?"
"I really want to get in touch with outsiders, but I didn't take the initiative to find Chai Yun, it was he who found me."
Cui Xiaojun moved forward a little, "Then you have to be more careful, it's better not to go, they are really not good people, you are not the same as them."
"I'm not a good person either, aren't you afraid of me?" Han Ruzi liked his wife's serious expression and couldn't help but make a joke.
Cui Xiaojun blushed slightly, and said in a low voice, "You don't even know how to be a bad person..."
Han Ruzi put away his smile, "I have to accept the invitation. The House of Tien Hou can't stop the 'bad guys'. I have to know what the 'bad guys' are like so that I can be prepared."
Peace can only last for a while, Cui Xiaojun felt lost in her heart, but did not show it on her face, she would do everything she could to protect her husband, "My second brother Cui Teng and Chai Yun have the best relationship, because they are both the same lunatic, I heard that ——" Cui Xiaojun hesitated for a while, "I heard that they killed people with their own hands. If you insist on accepting the invitation, you must be careful, and take Teacher Du, and don't let him leave half a step."
