The more Prince Li counted, the more he grinned, looking more and more like a fool.
"I earned twenty-seven taels, come on, let's continue."
Princess Binghua angrily shuffled the cards with him. Amidst the collision of mahjong, her eyes had already made her brother die and come back to life.
The four of them played a game of mahjong with one liang per game. Although Prince Li and Princess Binghua had been exposed to the game of mahjong, they were not familiar with it. Qi Bao'er and Da Li didn't even recognize it.
First get familiar with it, and then learn how to play. After all this hard work, I didn’t actually play a few games in the morning.
Qi Bao'er and Da Lang were neither losing nor losing. Princess Binghua lost all her money in her brother's pile.
Ordinarily, even Da Ling, who is present, would not be reluctant to part with him now.
Not to mention Qi Baoer, he was the one with the biggest pockets among the four people present.
Daliang earned dozens of taels of silver from selling cloth at home, and the 5,000 taels he earned with Qi Baoer outside Guanshan Pass. Although Qi Kang'an and his wife felt that the boy could not put too much money on him, they helped collect the money.
But this time when he came to Jingye Sanni also stuffed 500 taels into him just in case.
Prince Li, Princess Binghua, the eldest princess and his wife are not like some parents from aristocratic families who indulge their children too much. They usually spend a certain amount every month, but they still have a few hundred taels of pocket money a month.
That's right, it feels so bad to keep losing.
Princess Binghua, who had always been the most favored at home, was a bit unfavorable, especially since the person who won her was her brother who usually gave in to her the most.
The four of them were playing more and more smoothly, and each game was not too long. In less than half an hour, several more games had passed. Good guy, Princess Binghua, who wanted to make a comeback, was left with only a single piece of silver in front of her.
Looking at Princess Binghua, who was holding a tael of silver and her face was wrinkled, the other three glanced at the pile in front of them in unison, and then looked at Princess Binghua, who was about to cry, and suddenly felt so
I'm so embarrassed.
Why, it looks like the three of them are sharing Princess Binghua's pocket money together.
He glanced at his sister, and under his threatening gaze, King Li, who had always looked down upon his sister's sadness, pulled out a silver note from the pile of broken silver with his distressed hand and pushed it to the other side.
Before she said anything, Princess Binghua had already grabbed it with a grin, "Brother, thank you."
Seeing that Qi Bao'er and Da Li also wanted to give it, she hurriedly held it down with one hand and said, "No, I still have this gambling product."
As for her brother, that was the pocket money he gave her.
One is one, two is two, she can sort it out.
Upon hearing this, Qi Baoer put the money in his side pocket without any hesitation, but Da Ling was a little embarrassed.
Mahjong was too over the top and he didn't feel anything when playing it. After he stopped to calm down, he realized that he had beaten both King Li and Princess Binghua by a lot.
This... won't offend anyone, right?
Fortunately, a maid hurried in and rescued him.
"Prince, Princess, Princess Anle, Master Qi, and Prince Min please see me."
Prince Min?
Princess Binghua instinctively looked at her brother. Prince Min was her brother's future father-in-law.
Who would have thought that this one glance would actually allow her to see her brother's entire process from initially looking happy to take advantage to gradually turning into a look of indifference.
Does her brother... have any dissatisfaction with his future father-in-law?
When did this happen?
Didn't her brother like Prince Min in the past?
She had personally seen the two of them drinking and chatting together several times.
Qi Baoer also noticed the changes in Princess Li and had the same doubts as Princess Binghua.
The atmosphere in the eldest princess's family must be good, as both children have cheerful temperaments.
Princess Binghua is a simple, cheerful and big-hearted person who really doesn't care about everything.
Prince Li is much more stable than Prince Binghua. At first glance, he seems to be a very standard dignified young master. He is obviously friendly but also distant from others.
But that's just his surface. Once you get to know him, you'll find that he is a particularly cheerful and sunny boy.
Suddenly showing such obvious indifference to a person, Qi Baoer did not feel like Princess Binghua that Prince Li was dissatisfied with Prince Min.
If there is something about Princess Min that makes Prince Li dissatisfied, and the eldest princess and her husband are able to bring up their two children with such temperaments, the marriage will definitely not happen with just a word from Prince Li.
Even if Prince Li discovers something about Prince Min after the marriage has been agreed, it will not be difficult for the eldest princess to break off the engagement.
Perhaps it was because Prince Li was disgusted because of the illness of Lord Jing'an County, but Qi Baoer did not see a trace of disgust on the face of the current Prince Li.
Indifference, simple indifference, the kind of indifference in which everything about this person has nothing to do with me.
He is obviously his future father-in-law, but he has this attitude just after hearing about it?
No one said a word, and the maid who conveyed the message did not dare to say a word. She stood hunched over and even her hair seemed to remain still.
Qi Baoer glanced at Prince Li who had nothing to do with him, and glanced at Princess Binghua who had his head tilted and didn't know what he was thinking. He helplessly said to the messenger maid: "Go and invite Prince Min to come in."
Although the county prince is also of the third rank, Prince Min is the elder. The three of them cannot just sit and wait for Prince Min to come in. That would be too uneducated.
Qi Bao'er pulled Princess Binghua up. Seeing that Prince Li didn't move, she thought for a moment and reminded her in a low voice: "Prince Li, we should go and greet Prince Min."
Prince Li's eyes flashed, and although he looked a little unhappy, he still stood up.
This sudden change in the atmosphere made Da Lian a little confused. After collecting the money, he quickly walked up to Qi Bao'er and followed closely.
He felt that it would be safest for him to follow his sister at this time.
Prince Min, who is in his early forties, must have been very sad these days. Although he seems to have dressed up energetically, he still can't hide the haggard look on his face.
Especially his eyes were covered with red bloodshot eyes, as if he was the one suffering from a strange disease in their family.
"Wang An of Min County."
The four of them, led by Prince Li, paid their respects to Prince Min.
Prince Min waved his hand, "No need to be polite."
His eyes were fixed on Qi Bao'er, the eagerness in his eyes almost overflowing, and his tone was sincere and pleading: "You must be Princess Anle. I heard from the judge Lu Tong of Yong'an City that you are an expert. Can you please
Save my daughter."
you?
Just this word is sincere enough.
Princess Binghua glanced at Qi Bao'er secretly, and she was really here.
However, the current mentality of Princess Binghua is completely different from when she first told Qi Baoer about Jing'an County Lord. At that time, she really hoped that Qi Baoer could save Jing'an County Lord.
In fact, Princess Binghua and Princess Jing'an are not familiar with each other. Princess Binghua loves to play and her family is not strict. There are many playmates in Beijing who are about the same age as her, but County Princess Jing'an is not among them.
The reason is that the Lord of Jing'an County rarely goes out. Except for necessary banquets, the Lord of Jing'an County never leaves home.
Princess Binghua's understanding of Princess Jing'an was basically based on rumors and sisters who played well.
Timid, gentle, and kind, these were her evaluations of the Lord Jing'an County based on all the information she obtained.
It is naturally good for such a person to be her sister-in-law, so she likes it.
