Chapter 194 I can't bear to leave
Although Qin Mubai was very reluctant, the main hall of his family did become a gambling house.
People in the Tang Dynasty are willing to accept new things, and their ideas are relatively radical and open, which is relatively special in the history of China's feudal dynasty. In addition, young people love to play and have a strong curiosity. The children of the Chang'an Shisquire family are the best and pioneers. So--
The appearance of mahjong caused a lot of exclamation and praise.
"Cool! - Good stuff!"
Qin Mubai is unlucky.
In the face of such a group of novices who know nothing about mahjong, how can it be easy to teach them about the debate in a short time? Therefore, he explained with dry mouth and dry lips for a long time, but there were still many people staring at him confusedly and shaking their heads.
"I don't understand, but I still don't understand!"
"More than 10,000 times more complicated than Pu!"
"But this thing is obviously more interesting than Pu Pu. You must learn it!"
"Mubai, say it again! How to distinguish this touch, eat, bar...?
"And what's more, why can the card played by the person on my left be eaten, but the one played on the opposite side can't be eaten? That's too much!"
"I want to eat, and he wants to touch it. What's the matter? Hello! You can't do it if you don't touch it! At least I'm so familiar with you, can't you show mercy?
......
Qin Mubai's head is as big as a clock, and his facial muscles are cramped because he talks too much and laughs too much.
About an hour or two later, a room of people finally managed to gather a table of cards. After Qin Mubai's four families looked at the cards, they came to teach them how to play.
The four people in the card game are - Li Ke, who has the biggest gambling addiction, Wu Mei Niang, who is the smartest and learns the fastest, Princess Gaoyang, who is interested in everything she wants to learn, and there is also a demon that everyone can't think of, but even Qin Mubai is amazing!
The demon is a blind girl, and she relies on her fingers to touch the cards.
Anyone who has played mahjong knows that this card is an introductory skill. Whoever can gently touch the bottom of the card with his finger knows what the card is, and in the eyes of ordinary people, he can also be regarded as a standard gambler.
There is no doubt that in the eyes of Li Ke and other pure rookies, the demon's skill is amazing!
And the demon can't see because of blindness, and his fingers are used to touch perception, which is extremely sensitive. In addition, she remembers what cards she has made with her heart. Maybe she has been used to arithmetic over the years, so she knows what cards she has played, and she doesn't remember any wrong. Just as everyone was looking for what cards had come out of the chaotic card table, the demon could say who had dealt what cards when, such as eight barrels of 90,000 yuan, and there were already a few cards on the card table. There was no mistake!
After playing a few laps, everyone had to worship the demon, and even Qin Mubai was amazed - this is really a natural god of gambling!
Three women against one man, Li Ke's hands stinked at home and lost a disgrace. The demon killed everywhere without any suspense. Princess Gaoyang, who claimed that "stupid people have stupid blessings", was not bad luck, and she also made a few fools under the guidance of Qin Mubai. Wu Mei Niang has always been relatively flat, with neither a big win nor a big loss.
A pair of mahjong cards can be regarded as a wholehearted investment for everyone. The more you play, the more enjoyable it is, and you have to forget the time.
Qin Mubai was thinking about what the emperor told Princess Gaoyang to return to the palace. After playing a few rounds, he said to her, "Princess, it's very late. The palace gate is about to close."
"Oh, don't quarrel! Do you think it's Hu two-five-eight barrels or three-six-nine-tongs? Hey hey, this makes me feel myself. What a beautiful card!" Princess Gaoyang stared at the card game happily and shouted excitedly, without looking at Qin Mubai.
"Three, six, nine, well - it seems that you and the King of Wu really smell the same. With the cards, you forget everything." Qin Mubai said with a smile.
"Uh...do you have it?" Princess Gaoyang was stunned after throwing a card. She turned her head and smiled apologetically. Then she turned her face and shouted, "Come on, play cards!" I'm going to fool!"
Qin Mubai scratched his head depressedly. Why did this little girl get carried away when she was happy?
"Your Highness, why don't I make a bet with you!" The demon smiled and said, "If you touch this card, listen to my third brother. Now go back to the palace, so that your majesty and the concubine will not miss it. If there is no Hu, we will continue to play with you until you are tired of playing. How about it?
"Oh, are you so sure? You don't even know my cards, but can you expect when I can be fooled?" Princess Gaoyang said in surprise.
"Your Highness, do you say you want to gamble or not?" The demon said with a smile.
"Bet! Let's bet!" Princess Gaoyang said with a smile, "I don't believe it. Can you still predict it? I'm going to touch the cards - wow! How can it be? It's really six barrels! I'm a fool!!"
"Ha ha, Your Highness, you have to keep your word!" The demon said with a smile.
Everyone looked at the demon in consterration and was puzzled. Only Qin Mubai had a bad smile and thought to himself: Gao Yang is so stupid. The cards on that side are made by demons. With her super memory, of course, she knows what kind of card Gao Yang is going to touch now!
"Ah, it's amazing! Sister Yaoer, you can teach me how to play mahjong in the future! I want to learn the art of winning every gamble from you, haha, win all the money of the third brother!" Princess Gaoyang laughed proudly.
Li Ke was annoyed when he lost a lot. He scolded angrily, "Go quickly, go quickly. It's just that you are here and rushing with me. If you leave, my luck will definitely get better!"
"Hey hey, just go. How can I embarrass Mu Bai?" Princess Gaoyang stood up happily and said with a smile, "I'm leaving! I'll come out of the palace to play with you when I have time. I'm so happy today!"
Qin Mubai smiled and went out to ask the people in the house to prepare the carriages and horses, and then prepared to send her back to the palace.
Outside the house, it is snowing heavily, the vehicle is inconvenient to walk, and the driver is also a little bitter in the wind and snow. The two got into the car and asked the car to go quickly and went straight to the palace.
The fire in the car was warm, and there was no one else around. Princess Gaoyang lay down in Qin Mubai's arms, hooked his neck and pulled him down. She kissed him deeply for a long time and refused to let go.
"Mu Bai, it's only been a day or two since we separated. I think you're wrong. So he ran to his father and begged him to come out of the palace and see you by the way. Princess Gaoyang muttered, "My father is good to me now, even better than before. He agreed without thinking about it!"
"That's a good thing." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "I am relieved to see that you are now at peace with your majesty, and more importantly, you are safe and sound and happy."
"But you're leaving..." Princess Gaoyang curled her lips, "What should I do? You will be in Xiangzhou in the future. It's so far away! Today, I specially asked my father. My father said that it was recorded in the chronicles that Xiangzhou is more than 1,170 miles away from the capital. If you travel normally, you have to walk for more than half a month. What if I miss you?"
"Write a letter." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "The postmen at the post station can run very fast. There is no problem in one or two hundred miles a day, and there are all the border soldiers who report 800 miles in a hurry."
"What's the use of that? The postman runs fast, not that I run fast. I want to see you, not the postman..." Princess Gaoyang muttered like a tongue twister.
"Don't be so childish. It's not that I won't go back to Chang'an." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "This is my home, my hometown, my relatives and friends, and the naughty bag that I can't give up."
"Naughty bag? Are you talking about me?" Princess Gaoyang smiled and asked.
"I don't know either." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Whoever sits in the right seat, that's who!"
"No, no! It can only be me! ...Shake your head? Do you still laugh so badly? I'll bite you!"
The carriage arrived at the Xuanwu Gate of the Daming Palace in the imperial city, and Qin Mubai opened the gate with a token, **. Entering the imperial city, Princess Gaoyang also restrained a little and did not laugh loudly anymore. She asked Qin Mubai to guide the driver to look directly to the big corner, saying that in the recent rain and snow, Yin Defei lived in the Taoist temple and did not return to the Xianju Hall, and she also wanted to go there to accompany her.
Thinking of Yin Defei, Qin Mubai couldn't help sighing secretly in his heart: Is she really going to escape into the empty door?
When the carriage came to Dajiaoguan, Princess Gaoyang still refused to come down from the carriage. She huddled in Qin Mubai's arms and said coquettishly, "Hold me for a while, just a while!"
"Hey, I haven't asked you yet. What did you call Wu Mei Niang away and tell her?"
"Hey hey, are you nervous? Do you really want to know?"
"Then just say it quickly!"
"I won't tell you! This is a secret between me and her!"
"Secret?" Qin Mubai laughed for a moment, "What other agreement can there be between you?"
"That's none of your business!" Princess Gaoyang giggled and finally got up to get out of the car and said, "Listen, don't ask Mei Niang!" Besides, even if you ask, she will definitely not tell you! That's it. I'm going back. Let's go. It's snowing heavily!"
"Well..." Qin Mubai waved goodbye to her.
Two Taoist nuns have come out to meet Princess Gaoyang, holding the lamp and standing under the eaves with her. Princess Gaoyang had been watching Qin Mubai's carriage go away and disappeared. Then she stamped her frozen feet and rubbed her hands and ran into the Taoist temple quickly.
Sitting in the car, Qin Mubai thought: This quirky Princess Gaoyang suddenly seemed to be a different person and took the initiative to approach Wu Mei Niang. I don't know what the two women talked about. It's mysterious.
Returning to the house, Li Ke and others are fighting fiercely. The position ceded by Princess Gaoyang was given to Qin Shuanger, and the four lame gamblers played cards loudly and were very happy.
Seeing Qin Mubai coming back, everyone only glanced at him quickly. Li Ke casually said, "Are you back so soon?"
"Do I dare to stay in the palace for a while?" Qin Mubai asked with a smile.
Wu Mei Niang smiled and said, "That's not sure. What else is there that you, as a disciple, dare not do?"
"Hee hee! Princess Gaoyang left, and Sister Mei finally lost her temper!" Qin Shuanger smiled and said, "Third brother, you are miserable! You have seriously offended Sister Mei today!"
"I don't have it." Wu Mei Niang smiled and said, "How can I care about his affairs? Right, Mu Bai."
"Cough! Why do I feel a little... the smell of cold knives and dark arrows?" Qin Mubai knew that he was a little embarrassed. Today, he was really too intimate with Princess Gaoyang in front of Wu Mei Niang. So he came to her with a smile and said, "Ah, this card is good, it's all the best!"
"Shut up! I asked you to say it out, and they won't call me!" Wu Mei Niang scolded, reached under the table with one hand, and secretly twisted a hand on Qin Mubai's back.
Qin Mubai happened to be obedient and took the opportunity to grin and made a strange expression.
The demon can't see it, but others can see it. Li Ke, a veteran in love, suddenly smiled: "Mu Bai, do you know how cheap your expression is now?"
"It doesn't matter." Qin Mubai said with a serious face, "If a person is lowly, he will be invincible!" Mei Niang, with me covering you, you can play boldly, and you will win this game!"
Wu Mei Niang smiled bitterly: "I really can't stand you! Go away, don't stand next to me!"
......
Unconsciously, it was late at night. After playing excitedly for a day, everyone was tired, and even Li Ke yawned a few times.
"Let's stop playing. It's time to rest!" Li Ke smiled and said, "Continue tomorrow! Mu Bai, come to my house!"
"Good." Qin Mubai nodded and answered. He also knew that Li Ke had something else to say to him about the promulgation of the Wu Wangfu's martial arts list.
Everyone dispersed in turn. On the snowy night, Qin Shuanger was left to sleep together by the demon. Li Ke was escorted by Yin Yang and others, and a Wu Mei Niang fell, so Qin Mubai had to send her home in person.
Qin Mubai was waiting to say that "bad attempt" with a bad smile. Wu Mei Niang smiled skillfully and waved her hand: "Don't open my mouth, I must go home."
"It seems that you have counted these intestines in my stomach clearly." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take you home."
The two of them boarded the car, and Wu Mei Niang relaxed and said, "I'm really tired today!"
"It's been a little too long. Go back and have a good rest." Qin Mubai Dao.
"It's not tiring to play, it's pretending to be tired." Wu Meiniang smiled bitterly and said, "The emperor is here, your parents are here, Li Ke is here, and Princess Gaoyang is here. With so many people, I dare not offend any of them. Many pairs of eyes seem to stare at me unconsciously. Today... I'm so tired that I'm afraid of making mistakes.
"Mei Niang, it's really difficult for you. I know that it's harder for you to do than me. It's not easy. Qin Mubai took her hand and covered it in the palm of her hand. He also warmed her and smiled, "Are you quite angry with me now?"
"No. If I really have such a small device and leave early in the morning, why should I stay here and suffer this sulking? Wu Mei Niang smiled, leaned gently on his shoulder and said, "Do you know what Princess Gaoyang said when she came to me today?"
"I'd like to know."
"No, I can't tell you." Wu Mei Niang giggled.
"Aren't you clear about your appetite?" Qin Mubai protested, "It's too unrighteous to swallow half of it!"
"Because I promised Princess Gaoyang that I won't tell you." Wu Mei Niang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I didn't speak ill of you."
"I'm really curious, what can you two say...?" Qin Mubai shook his head puzzledly.
Wu Mei Niang smiled and said nothing. After a long time, she said, "Mu Bai, God really treats you unfairly."
"How to solve this?" Qin Mubai asked in surprise.
"Because he loves you too much." Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "I didn't know Princess Gaoyang before, and naturally I was a little disgusted with her. After today... I think I will like her very much. Don't you think your luck is a little too good for a woman like her who loves you deeply and does everything for you?
"That's true." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "What's more, I still have Mei Niang!"
"I'll forget it! Compared with Princess Gaoyang, I feel really ashamed sometimes. Wu Mei Niang sighed and said, "Maybe I have been influenced by my parents and family since I was a child. I think more about benefits and benefits in my mind. For people, things, and feelings, I can't help but weigh the pros and cons. After thinking about it, I believe that there is no mistake before I take action. When I saw Princess Gaoyang, I knew what real and hot feelings were. It's admirable that she can love so purely and without hesitation! In contrast, I feel that I am a profit-oriented villain... It's true that I'm not treacherous or business-oriented!"
"Mei Niang, you don't have to say that." Qin Mubai said, "The same rice feeds a hundred kinds of people, and you can't live like others. It's good for you to do this. Mei Niang is Mei Niang, which is irreplaceable and unique. I don't want you to become the second Princess Gaoyang. I like what you look like now.
"Ha ha, it's just a little emotion." Wu Mei Niang smiled and said, "Princess Gaoyang is actually the real wisdom. There is a kind of kindness and sincerity in her body that is very true, very pure, and natural expression without any cover, which inadvertently moved people. And we vulgar people always work hard to learn to constantly deepen the city and hide our real thoughts and emotions, as if we are eager to live in the secular oppression and bondage for a lifetime. Princess Gaoyang is the opposite of us. If she wants it, she will try her best to get it; if she likes it, she will try her best to pursue it. Whether the process is difficult or the ending is perfect, she has the same hesitation. Her body is weaker than most people, but her courage to fight against the emperor, the secular world and fate is so huge that it can be described as shocking, which makes me feel embarrassed! Simple, persistent, her simplicity is admirable, and her persistence is admirable!"
"Hehe!" Qin Mubai smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to know her so well in just half a day!"
"It's not about understanding, it's just an intuition." Wu Mei Niang smiled and said, "I was really disgusted with people like her before. With his good family background and background, he is arrogant and domineering, and he is always in a superior posture. I didn't know until today that Princess Gaoyang was so flesh-and-blood and cute that even I, a woman, couldn't help but be moved by her!"
"Oh, it seems that you two still cherish each other?" Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Speaking, what did you two talk about?"
"If I don't tell you, I won't tell you." Wu Mei Niang said with a smile, "But there is one thing I can reveal."
"What?"
"Princess Gaoyang said..." Wu Mei Niang suddenly laughed loudly, "You must hate women with bad breath!"
"..." The corners of Qin Mubai's mouth twitched again and he didn't say anything for a long time.
......
Wu Mei Niang was finally sent home. The driver was covered with pitifully frozen snow, and Qin Mubai did not stay any longer and returned immediately.
When he returned home, he took a hot bath comfortably and then shrank into the quilt. Qin Mubai breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the roof with his head and arms, and muttered to himself, "Chang'an, Chang'an... From then on, you will haunt me! At this moment, I really can't bear to leave.
