Xiao Yuqi opened his arms.
He hugged the person who was running towards him tightly.
He didn't notice Pojun's resentful look at all.
Su Jianyue hugged him tightly.
Pojun immediately turned around, bit his lower lip, and hugged his injured self tightly with his arms.
So sad and miserable.
This formed a sharp contrast with the other side, where pairs of happy couples were smiling happily.
"It seems that you get along well with the Queen Mother?"
“That’s it!”
If Su Jianyue had a tail at this moment, it would definitely be able to shake it up to the sky.
...
...
"Anyway, it's definitely better than how you get along with her."
Xiao Yuqi simply picked her up and carried her sideways, ignoring everyone's eyes, and walked forward with Su Jianyue in his arms.
Su Jianyue felt relieved that she didn't have to walk by herself.
She put her arms around Xiao Yuqi's neck and shook her feet in embroidered shoes.
"Xiao Yuqi, when do you think I should leave the palace?"
Xiao Yuqi said, "Go change your clothes first."
It was just getting dark.
Xiao Yuqi took Su Jianyue out of the palace.
The curfew of the Tianyu Dynasty is at the second watch.
At this time, there were still many pedestrians walking on the streets of Jian'an City.
Peddlers and merchants coming and going, some in groups of two or three, some alone, can be heard constantly with the sounds of hawking, chatting, laughing, and bargaining.
It was the first time that Su Jianyue saw such a bustling ancient street.
She opened the curtain of the carriage and looked at the ancient world outside.
Perhaps because the New Year was approaching, Su Jianyue looked at the rouge shop, cloth shop and other shops and saw that there were unusually many people.
People will pursue material things only when their lives are guaranteed.
Judging from this scene, the living standard of the people in Jian'an City must be many times higher than that of the people in the northern border.
After all, we are under the emperor's feet, and those who break the law must think carefully before they speak and act.
The carriage passed through the bustling market and entered the deep alleys.
Su Jianyue was wearing ordinary cloth clothes.
Her long hair was tied up with just a wooden hairpin.
Even a thorny hairpin and a cloth skirt cannot conceal her stunning beauty.
Xiao Yuqi was also wearing clothes of similar material.
The golden crown that held her hair together was replaced with an ordinary headband.
Even the carriages were of extremely simple civilian style.
The person driving the coach is Po Jun.
Apart from this, Su Jianyue did not see anyone else following.
The carriage finally stopped outside an inconspicuous house.
Above the gate, there is a wooden plaque with three large characters written in a flamboyant style: Jiuzhoufang.
"This is……"
Su Jianyue followed Xiao Yuqi out of the carriage.
A string of copper bells hung by the door of Jiuzhoufang.
Xiao Yuqi pulled the copper bell with ease.
Very regular sounds, twos, threes, threes, and twos.
The sound passed.
Someone inside opened the door.
Su Jianyue didn't ask any more questions.
She had a veil on her head, and her hand was held tightly by Xiao Yuqi as she walked in step by step.
The person who opened the door was stunned when he saw this.
I don't know whether I was shocked that Xiao Yuqi would come here, or I was shocked that Xiao Yuqi would bring a girl here.
Su Jianyue didn't care.
She followed Xiao Yuqi curiously, looking around at the layout of the courtyard.
Starting from the entrance, all the way to the front yard.
This is a very ordinary residential house.
But, he pushed open the door of the main hall.
Su Jianyue then discovered that this was actually a gambling house.
Ancient gambling house.
Su Jianyue confirmed again and again.
However, on this quaint square table, there appeared... playing cards?
? ? ?
These people are obviously playing Pai Gow.
Su Jianyue naively thought that this was just a coincidence.
Unexpectedly, when I walked further in, I saw the guests at the second table playing Poker.
fry! gold! flower!
Su Jianyue finally confirmed.
“This is you…”
She pointed at Xiao Yuqi.
Xiao Yuqi nodded.
The people inside were having a great time.
Business seems to be booming here.
The arrival of Xiao Yuqi and Su Jianyue did not attract anyone's attention.
finally.
Xiao Yuqi brought Su Jianyue into a side room.
The room is not big.
There was only a round table and a few stools.
They sat inside.
Can clearly hear the sounds from the next room.
"Master Dong, getting married is a happy event, you should be happy!"
"What a shame! Zhaoyang is such a bad luck. As soon as I decided to get married to her, I kept losing when I played cards today. I didn't win a single hand. It's so unlucky!"
"Brother Dong, I just saw Zhaoyang's brother here. That poor fellow thinks he is a nobleman, so rich and powerful. We will bring him to you later, and we can use him to entertain ourselves. How about that?"
"I think it's okay, hahaha!"
They are all a bunch of second-generation rich people who are not doing their jobs properly.
Relying on the protection of his ancestors, he has become rampant.
Always likes to expose people's scars as a joke.
His Majesty has ordered an imperial examination to be held soon.
All the children from noble families who had some ambition would study hard every minute.
At a time like this, what ambitions could a young man who is only concerned with having fun have in his heart?
Dong Shian was already depressed.
As soon as I heard my good brother's words, I immediately had an idea.
His silence was his agreement.
As the youngest son of a legitimate duke.
Although the position of the young master is occupied by his elder brother.
But he was very much loved at home, and was always the center of attention among all the noble young men in Jian'an City.
The number of people who rushed to curry favor with him could at least circle Jian'an City ten times.
For example, at this time.
He was only slightly moved.
This group of people actively brought Zhaoyang's brother over from another card table.
Su Jianyue listened to the noise coming from the next room.
He asked quietly, "Will something bad happen to them if they do this?"
"Let's just watch the fun."
Xiao Yuqi took off the veil on Su Jianyue's head and put it aside.
"Are you hungry? I sent someone to serve you food. Madam Zeng's cooking skills are excellent. You can eat more later."
Su Jianyue felt vaguely uneasy.
She remembered what the Queen Mother had just said to her.
How can a century-old family that has been standing firm and prospering day by day be an ordinary one?
Although Su Jianyue didn't know what Xiao Yuqi was planning today.
But she knows.
Those sitting in the next box should be the young masters from various families.
If the truth comes to light and the noble families join forces, all of Xiao Yuqi's plans will be put on hold.
Starting again is even more difficult.
"Xiao Yuqi, let's go!"
Noticed Su Jianyue's uneasiness.
Xiao Yuqi held her hand tightly.
"What are you afraid of? I brought you here today just to let you meet someone."
"who?"
Xiao Yuqi spoke frankly.
Su Jianyue actually reacted in a moment.
The door creaked and was opened from the outside.
A smartly dressed young lady came in carrying delicious food.
Behind her, there was a thin woman.
Su Jianyue looked at the woman and felt that she looked familiar.
She thought about it carefully.
A figure suddenly appeared in my mind.
"Who are you……"
