Chapter 96
Gotta catch it
One thing to say, Xiao Rongxi's shield is really useful.
When Nan Zhen said this, the three of them stopped trying to persuade her. They were more curious in their hearts.
"Why does Your Majesty say that?"
Nan Zhen: "The king's heart is hard to predict, so don't lie."
There was a slight smile on her lips and an inscrutable look, which made the three of them stunned.
"But since everyone has been waiting for so long, I can't say nothing at all," Nan Zhen raised her hand to call Dongyue, "Go and get the dominoes from my room. It just happens that four people can sit at the table. How rare.
I usually only see ghosts in this palace, but finally a few people came and I had to catch them."
The tone was obviously a joke, but it made several people's hearts tremble.
I couldn't help but raise my eyes and look around. Speaking of it, it was colder here than other palaces.
Zhang Meiren was timid, so she quietly tugged on An Bin's sleeve and was comforted by her look in her eyes.
Nan Zhen covered her lips with her tea cup to hide her expression.
Dongyue moved quickly and took out the dominoes in a moment and placed them on the square table, one person on each side.
Nan Zhen crossed her legs and wiped the dominoes skillfully. She was only a piece of foxtail grass compared with the street runner, "Let's talk about the rules first. The starting price of a game is ten cents, and it doubles to one, two, forty-eight. Do you have any objections?
"
"No."
"without."
"That's good. It's limited to one hour. You're not allowed to leave the table early, and you're allowed to pay on credit." She tossed the dice to a six. "I'll be the first in the first game, so we don't have to reject each other."
Dongyue stood next to Nan Zhen, her hands behind her back, and she clasped her fingers quietly.
A game costs ten cents, and the highest multiple is eighty cents. If you lose several games in a row, wouldn't it mean that you don't even have to wear pants?
Should she remind the empress, Leng Gong, that she searched up and down and found only three taels of silver sewn on the soles of her shoes?
"Yaoji, wait, go!"
Nan Zhen gently felt the numbers on the dominoes with her fingertips. She suddenly curled her lips and spread her hands, "Sorry, the bar is full."
Dongyue: "..." It doesn't seem to be necessary.
The three of them looked at each other with resentment on their faces. What kind of luck is this? Their hands are full of bad cards!
Lin Guiren has been playing dominoes since he was a child. Now he was addicted to it. He took the money happily and said, "Come again!"
Dominoes is a favorite game played by ladies from various families when they get together. They have been exposed to it since childhood and are considered proficient in it, but they cannot compare to Nan Zhen, a master who has made real money.
"It's all the same, touch it yourself, I'm sorry everyone."
"Hey, Xiaoqi, what about you?"
…
With the sound of dominoes and the clatter of money, even Concubine An, who had the most money, couldn't bear it for an hour.
When I finally got up, everyone was in a daze.
Dongyue reluctantly welcomed the person in, but she was cheerful when she sent him out. Her face almost froze with laughter, and she had to rub it back by hand in the end.
Nan Zhen leaned back on the chair, watching the three people walking out hurriedly, and chuckled.
She had to make them feel heartbroken. Otherwise, if three people came here today and three people came tomorrow, would she think this place was a teahouse?
Nan Zhen casually threw the dice into the center of a pile of dominoes, gave the winning money to Dongyue, stood up, and walked into the room without looking back, "I'm a little tired, I won't eat tonight."
It's almost dark, but the insects are already chirping. The weather has turned cooler, and there is less noise in the grass compared to some time ago.
Nan Zhen was lying on the bed, raising her hands to cover the candlelight a little, thinking about things in Stone Lane.
