Yan Shiyue came out of the palace and arrived at the door of his house. It happened that people from the Ministry of Rites were changing the plaques. They took down the one from the Duke's Mansion and replaced it with the one from the Rong County Prince's Mansion.
Yan Shiyue was watching on the side on horseback, and the doctor from the Ministry of Rites hurried forward to greet him.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a child's voice suddenly shouted for help from afar. Yan Shiyue looked over subconsciously and saw a strong man with a knife chasing a child about five or six years old not far ahead, shouting, "I'll kill you!"
Yan Shiyue frowned.
Although Huo Qijing told her not to be so paranoid, she really felt that it was... quite weird.
Thinking about the sufferings that Xiao Jiaozi and Xiao Nian Gao had endured during this period, Yan Shiyue felt very upset. She didn't dare to do anything, she really didn't dare.
Fortunately, she was in a high position now. When the doctor of the Ministry of Rites saw her expression, he immediately understood the emperor's intention and called out to the officials below him: "How could such a thing happen under the emperor's feet! Violating in the street! Bullying children! Why don't you go over and take a look!"
The officials below rushed up.
Yan Shiyue thought that this time it really had nothing to do with me, and said to him in a friendly manner: "Lord Wang is really kind-hearted and helps the poor and needy!"
The doctor of the Ministry of Rites smiled like a flower in an instant: "Your Excellency, thank you for your praise!"
...
...
So everyone was happy.
In the carriage not far away, the man lazily said, "What about the most virtuous and beautiful, chivalrous and courageous... It sounds so nice, but now it seems that he is nothing but a stinking villain! Look at the like-minded character of these two people!"
He drew aside the curtain and took a look, then clicked his tongue and said, "But she is really pretty, with a charming figure. Alas! If one is this pretty, it doesn't matter what one does, just like me." He touched his chin.
The servant asked, "Master, are we going to the Prince's Mansion?"
"No! Why go to the Prince's Mansion?" He asked, "Have you submitted the post?"
"Yes, we have submitted it for several days in a row," the servant replied, "but I heard that the Prince's Mansion has never been very sociable, and the child is sick, so it's useless to submit it."
The man snorted, "That's easy. They have a tumbler stage car, right? Then let's do that too!"
Early the next morning, Yan Shiyue was sleeping soundly when he heard the noise outside.
Yan Shiyue asked dazedly: "What's wrong?"
Huo Qijing had obviously heard it clearly, and sneered: "I don't know who is provoking you!"
Yan Shiyue turned over and listened carefully. He heard the sound of gongs and drums outside. At the same time, a high-pitched male voice sang: "There is a goddess in Qinzhou who is blessed with both wealth and fortune and has an unparalleled appearance. She vaccinated the people at Longmen and her craftsmen in Yuefang are all over the place..."
Oh? Yan Shiyue sat up and listened to the lyrics that sang her story all the way through. At the end, it sang again: "Shi Silang, a commoner from the north, came all the way here, opened a gambling stone shop in Chang'an, and dared to invite Lady Fu..."
To be honest, if this happened in front of the residence of other princes or nobles, they would have been chased away long ago.
But Yan Shiyue has always been tolerant in this regard, and he is from the Ministry of Commerce and has always taken care of businessmen, so Jia and them did not take action.
Yan Shiyue asked, "Stone gambling business?"
Although gambling was prohibited in Dayan, gambling on jade was a characteristic of the industry and was not considered a recognized form of gambling, so it was still possible to open a gambling shop. However, there were no jade mines near Chang'an, so there were very few gambling shops.
But Yan Shiyue still didn't want to go.
But they couldn't fall asleep because of the noise, so they got up. As a result, the child learned it in a short while and sang "There is a Fu Niangniang in Qinzhou..."
Yan Shiyue: “…”
As a result, after the family finished breakfast, the lyrics outside changed again. They switched to a martial arts style, singing in a particularly majestic and sonorous voice: "Gambling on stones is like gambling on one's life. One sword decides life and death. Lady Fu, you are unworthy of being called blessed. Do you dare? In front of everyone, one sword will chop off Baoyu's broken clothes. Ah, ah, ah..."
Jiahe came in and reported: "I'm sitting on the tumbler stage car. The young man has been singing for almost two hours. The sound comes from his dantian and he never stops. There are already quite a few people watching."
Yan Shiyue smiled and said, "Then go ahead."
Huo Qijing said: "I'll go with you."
Yan Shiyue nodded, told everyone to look after the child, then she changed her clothes and went out.
As soon as the door was opened, everyone burst into an uproar.
Then Lingzisheng, who was standing on the tumbler, suddenly swayed over and smiled at her. His eyes sparkled on his heavily painted face, and the huge pheasant feather almost hit her face.
Yan Shiyue was wearing Hu clothing and standing together with Huo Qijing. The man was handsome and the woman was pretty, they were really a perfect match and pleasing to the eye.
Then she said, "Since I have accepted your invitation, I dare not refuse."
As he spoke, he bowed to everyone and said with a smile: "I am Yan Shiyue, and this is my husband Huo Qijing. I don't know where this person comes from, why don't we all go and have a look, and help me expand my horizons."
Everyone was afraid that she would get angry and chase them away, but when she said that, they were overjoyed and agreed immediately.
Ling Zisheng, who was standing on the tumbler, had a twinkling look in his eyes.
This person is really frank and confident in his actions.
Then Yan Shiyue and Huo Qizhu walked hand in hand, chatting with everyone along the way, and arrived at the gambling stone shop.
The place for gambling on stones was quite large, but so many people came suddenly, many of whom had heard about it and came to join in the fun, and the whole street was immediately packed.
The Lingzisheng opened his outer robe, jumped down from the tumbler, and said with a smile, "Prime Minister, please come in."
Yan Shiyue said: "There are so many people, if I go in, no one will be able to see it, why don't you take it out and I will choose it."
She twisted her waist and jumped onto the stage car: "It's fine right here, everyone can see clearly."
This move was so cool that it was unmatched. Everyone couldn't help but cheer.
Huo Qijing also turned over and jumped up, standing beside her.
Ling Zisheng said, "Okay."
He called out to people loudly and they brought out a board that was about ten feet wide and more than twenty feet long, with dozens of stones on top.
He invited Huo Qijing: "Your Majesty, can you lend a hand?"
Huo Qijing lowered his eyes to take a look, then jumped down, looked carefully, and raised his toes. The board trembled at first, and then the whole board suddenly flew up and landed on the tumbler with a bang, without a single stone falling off!
The interesting thing is that this tumbler looks like a big bowl after the person comes down, and it shakes in circles. However, Huo Qijing's kick managed to achieve a delicate balance. Once he got up, the base trembled slightly, and then slowly became flat.
After everyone fell silent, the cheers reached the sky.
Yan Shiyue thought that his kick was so cool! She almost wanted to put her hands on her hips and laugh out loud!
Ling Zisheng's expression was also a little subtle. After a long while, he said, "As expected, he is the Prince of Rong who cut down the flag and seized the general among thousands of troops!"
His proud look was restrained, and he also jumped up, gesturing with his hands, saying, "Please choose, my lord."
