Chapter 501 The Duke's Mansion's Plan
Shen Xia looked at the sky and said, "It's still early, let's play a game of mahjong!"
Gu Ziyan nodded: "Okay!"
Su Yao also nodded: "Okay!"
Haven't played this in a long time.
There is no nightlife at this time of the night, and if you don’t play mahjong, you will be bored to death.
Zheng Jinshu asked: "What is that?"
Gu Zizhan explained: "It's just a game. Let's go! It'll be one or two hours before curfew comes."
Zheng Jinshu nodded: "Okay!"
Then he can spend more time with Sister Zi Yan.
Really good.
Several people entered the yard together, and soon Jixiang and Ruyi brought the things over and put them on the table.
Shen Xia took a look and saw Gu Zizhan, Gu Ziyan, Zheng Jinshu, her and Su Yao.
"You four can fight! I'll help Zheng Jinshu watch," because Zheng Jinshu was the only one among the five who didn't know how to fight.
Gu Zizhan took a look and said to Shen Xia, "Xia Xia, you fight, Jinshu and I will just watch."
Then Zheng Jinshu and Gu Ziyan sat opposite each other.
Shen Xia and Su Yao sat opposite each other.
This way they could both look up and see each other.
And Gu Zizhan was in charge of watching from the side.
Su Yao said: "Let's transfer the money!"
Although Zheng Jinshu didn't know how to do it, he didn't object.
Gu Ziyan nodded: "Okay!"
Shen Xia thought that A Yao was trying to make money again. It was A Yao who taught her how to play mahjong.
She is quite awesome.
Zheng Jinshu and Gu Ziyan are definitely not their match.
Gu Ziyan understood, so she asked, "How much?"
Su Yao said: "One tael of silver per coin!"
Gu Zizhan raised his eyebrows. What a big deal.
In this way, the winnings or losses in one game could be several hundred taels.
He didn't care.
Instead, he looked at Zheng Jinshu: "One tael of silver per bet, and a game of cards can result in hundreds of taels of silver in winnings or losses."
Zheng Jinshu gave him a few hundred taels, which was equivalent to his annual salary.
However, there are a few officials who live on their salaries.
A few hundred taels are nothing to him, right?
Then he nodded: "Okay!"
Shen Xia exchanged a look with Su Yao and thought, please show some mercy.
Finally Su Yao understood and said, it’s up to you.
Su Yao nodded, no problem.
The four of them started a fight.
In order to spend more time with Sister Zi Yan.
Money is a small matter.
You can’t get a wife if you are not willing to spend money.
What's more, it seems that Sister Shen is looking for an opportunity for him.
How could he not seize the opportunity!
After Pei Yuanqi was pulled back by the servant.
It hurts, but I can't really say it.
Even when he returned to the Duke's Mansion, the old lady didn't look very happy when she saw him.
Pei Yuanqi said it was okay.
The injury is so severe that it is hard to describe.
At this time, the Duke and the old lady were both in the main hall.
The Duke looked at Pei Yuanqi and asked, "How is it?"
Pei Yuanqi lowered his head and said, "I won't come back. I will never come back to the Duke's Mansion in this lifetime."
After hearing this, Duke Pei's face darkened: "It seems she is serious."
Then he looked at the Duke's wife and asked, "Have you visited Princess Rui?"
The Duke's wife was dissatisfied and said, "I looked for him, but he didn't even see me."
Pei Yuanqi said: "If you don't want to come back, forget it. If it really doesn't work, I will help Jiao'er become my legal wife."
Aunt Jiao, who was walking to the main hall, heard this at the door and was very happy.
Finally, the clouds cleared and the moon became bright.
As a result, the Duke shouted, "Nonsense! Even if you want to have a wife, you have to marry a second wife. It will be beneficial to the family."
Pei Yuanqi saw his father scolding him so loudly, thinking that he didn't think it through very well: "Then what do you think father should do?"
Duke Pei looked at his wife with dissatisfaction.
It was such a good marriage, but not only did I not cherish it, I ended up ruining it.
Moreover, the food, clothing and other expenses of the Duke's Mansion have dropped by more than one level.
The best option is for Gu Ziyan to come back.
If she doesn't come back, Yuan Qi will marry someone else, but someone of equal social status will definitely not be willing to be her second wife.
A lower price won't do either, as it won't be able to support the reputation of the Duke's Mansion.
The Duke's Mansion has high expenses, so they need to find someone with a wealthy family, otherwise it will be difficult for the Duke's Mansion to maintain its proper dignity.
He glanced at the lady next to him and said slowly, "The Duke's Mansion is not wealthy, as you know. They give a lot of money to Yi'er every year. Go and find a wealthy man to be Yuan Qi's second wife."
The old lady frowned, "Your family is rich, a businessman? That won't work. How can such a lowly family be worthy of my son?"
Duke Pei retorted: "Do you think your son is still the same as before?"
In fact, as soon as Pei Yuanqi got divorced, the Duke's wife had already inquired about him. When those with similar family backgrounds heard that it was Pei Yuanqi, they all rejected him directly.
He also understood that his current situation was not good, so he went to find Gu Ziyan.
of course.
She wouldn't be any better off than him if she divorced him.
In the end, she refused to listen.
Since she decided to do so.
Don't blame me for not giving her a chance. Once he remarries, it will be difficult for her to turn back.
Duke Pei was extremely disappointed with the mother and son. It seemed that he had to focus his attention on his concubine's son.
This is just as short-sighted as his mother.
Adou who couldn't be helped up.
Aunt Jiao at the door heard it.
Her dream of becoming a legitimate mother was shattered again.
Feeling so lost.
But I thought that as long as Yuan Qi's heart was with her, it would be fine.
Look at the baby in your belly again.
She has three children and no one can shake her position.
What's more, she is a lowly merchant woman, so there is even less need to be afraid.
And on Shen Xia's side.
Zheng Jinshu finally understood the rules after an hour.
After all, he is the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple. He can learn this kind of thing easily. He knows all the twists and turns clearly.
Various gifts for Gu Ziyan.
Shen Xia was speechless.
Another one playing the business card.
Although her skills were not very good, she didn't realize that Zheng Jinshu was such a loser.
Since these cards were given as gifts, Su Yao didn't have much chance of winning, because she definitely wouldn't give away cards.
After Gu Zizhan taught Zheng Jinshu how to fight, he followed behind Shen Xia and instructed her how to fight.
Shen Xia felt embarrassed. Doesn’t she have any face at all?
But I have to say that Gu Zizhan is really good at counting cards, and his skills are really good.
After listening to his instructions, Shen Xia felt like he had suddenly been enlightened.
In the end, the game was a draw, with three of them winning and one losing.
As the saying goes, three women and one man, either they become the banker or they jump off a cliff (oh, that’s the pronunciation).
He alone lost more than four hundred taels.
But I was happy that he lost.
"This game is really fun. Let's play it again some other day," Zheng Jinshu suggested.
The main thing is that I can sit and play with Sister Zi Yan.
very nice.
Playing cards can also help to build relationships.
after the end.
Su Yao gave all the winnings to Shen Xia.
Shen Xia looked at the money in his hand and said, "Keep some of it. You may need it sometimes!"
Su Yao smiled and said, "a red envelope for my son and daughter."
Shen Xia raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "Okay!"
I thought if she wanted to give it to her, I would just take it. Anyway, she knew how to pay for whatever A Yao wanted to buy.
Zheng Jinshu left and Gu Ziyan saw him to the door.
Shen Xia would definitely not go to salvage it.
Su Yao looked at Jixiang Ruyi and said, "Let's go back first!"
She knew that the courtyards here were connected.
Besides, Su Yao also knew the relationship between Gu Zizhan and Shen Xia.
The two of them must have something to talk about.
Jixiang Ruyi glanced at Shen Xia and Gu Zizhan.
Said to Su Yao: "Okay, Miss Su."
After saying that, the three of them left.
