"Ahem..." Gu Shu hurriedly lowered his head and took a sip of tea, successfully preventing his father from committing suicide.
Gu Yuan glanced at them indifferently, feeling slightly irritated.
"Third Young Master, His Highness wants you to come over quickly."
The guard urged Dadi without hesitation.
"That's it!" Lord Jingguo suddenly nodded and said seriously: "Then Sanlang, hurry up and come over. You are a small businessman, so don't compare yourself with me."
"Father, if you are old and confused, you should give up your throne to your brother earlier!"
I spent the whole day doing nothing human affairs.
Gu Xu choked and almost spit out the tea in his throat, but thanks to his quick reaction, he swallowed it again.
Why did the fire burn him?
He didn’t say anything this time!
Gu Yuan didn't want to deal with his brother who loved to watch the excitement and his troublesome father.
The original business could not continue, so he got up and left in anger.
Seeing this, the guards of King Qi hurriedly followed him to lead the way.
Gu Yuan glanced at him.
When did he say he was going?
have a finger in the pie.
But Justice Jingguo was so angry that his beard trembled. When he left, he raised his hands and cursed: "This treasonous and evil son actually did this to his father."
So irritating.
Still unreasonable.
"Father, if I were the third brother, I would have to make you angry to death sooner or later." Gu Shu said helplessly, stroking his choked chest.
Duke Jingguo snorted coldly and looked at him sideways: "If I don't die, you bastards won't be able to get on top of me."
If a son is a son, he must be pressed and beaten from an early age, and exercised more. Otherwise, when he gets old and can no longer move, won’t he have no chance?
He didn't look at the abdicated old general next door. He even had to look at the faces of his children and grandchildren before eating anything.
I still didn't defeat them when I was a kid, and I wasn't dignified enough, but now I'm letting the juniors ride on me.
How embarrassing?
…
Inside the gambling house.
Mr. Jinyi frowned as soon as he stepped into this noisy place.
It's the busiest time of the day, so there are naturally a lot of people.
It is mixed with various flavors, which makes people uncomfortable.
"Third Young Master, my Highness is waiting for you above."
Guard the approach road.
Gu Yuan didn't say anything and just let him lead the way.
In the innermost room on the second floor, Jiang Shanshan and Hou Mo sat opposite each other, with several decks of cards spread out on the table in front of them.
The tag was specially made by her. It is different from the current horse tags, but something that emerged in her time.
"There are many ways to play this kind of card, such as twenty-four points, golden flowers, and landlords. In short, the current gambling house is not enough to be ranked first in terms of playing, even if it is the Hou family's place."
Hou Mo nodded, this is true, no matter how good the gambling house is, it is actually the same to the gamblers.
What really attracts people is the gambling house itself, but there are many such gambling houses.
But, if their casino introduces these new gambling methods, it will be different.
In a short period of time, no other gambling den will be able to get past them.
After thinking about this, he glanced at the documents beside him.
"One hundred thousand taels." He smiled, still gentle, "Miss Jiang's price is really extraordinary."
Jiang Shanshan bent her eyes. She was not wearing a veil. The snow-like brocade silk gauze covered her body, making her even more delicate and beautiful.
She supported her chin with one hand and knocked on the table with the other, "Dr. Hou, that's wrong. One hundred thousand taels is nothing to you."
"One hundred thousand taels is indeed nothing, but it is not a small amount either."
Hou Mo took a sip of tea.
"But if these kinds of gameplay are introduced, the profits of the gambling house can at least triple. Mr. Hou, one hundred thousand taels is just a drop in the bucket for the gambling house that makes a lot of money every day!"
Hou Mo smiled, and his clear voice was like a refreshing breeze.
He looked at the person in front of him who had his eyes wide open and was waiting for a reply. He thought for a moment and said, "That's true."
Jiang Shanshan heard this and narrowed his eyes with a smile: "Then this matter..."
"I wonder if Miss Jiang is interested in buying shares?"
"Buy shares?"
Hou Mo nodded.
Jiang Shanshan reached out and secretly pinched the flesh of his thigh, confused.
Not a dream?
Until he came out of the house, Jiang Shanshan still didn't come back to his senses. He only felt light and airy under his feet.
She just... posted it?
This was a dream that she had worked hard all her life but never achieved!
Suddenly, a person ran in front of her, and she immediately stopped her legs to avoid hitting him.
"Master, what have you been doing? It took you so long to come out?"
King Qi stretched out his head and looked at it.
Hmm! That kid seems to be quite peaceful.
Jiang Shanshan raised his eyebrows, "Why haven't you left yet?"
As she said this, she suddenly noticed the figure standing beside her, and was surprised: "Why is Third Young Master Gu here?"
Gu Yuan was standing sideways. Hearing the words, he looked back slightly, but did not look back at her, but looked at the person who came out behind her.
Hou Mo nodded and said, neither humble nor arrogant, "Young Master Gu."
Gu Yuan withdrew his gaze and said to Jiang Shanshan, "Come here."
Jiang Shanshan: "..."
Why do you feel like something is wrong?
But he still walked over and looked up at him: "What's wrong?"
"Go back." After saying that, he turned around first.
Jiang Shanshan was confused, something must have happened.
Liu Yang or the Jiang family?
Thinking of this, she ignored the others and immediately followed.
Hou Mo looked at it indifferently, and the curvature of his lips did not change. Seeing this, Xiao Xuanye came over proudly and said, "Did you see it? I advise you not to make any wrong ideas. Jiang Shanshan is under my cover!"
Hou Mo saluted him and said, "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. I just have a business relationship with Miss Jiang, nothing else."
"Hmph! It's best to do this. Don't think that you can deceive a little girl just because you have a good skin. My master will not accept this trick."
I guess so?
"Yes..." Hou Mo responded.
After Xiao Xuanye finished hammering, he left with his guards with their heads held high.
Hou Mo turned sideways to send him off respectfully.
For a businessman, it is natural that he cannot afford to offend such a relative of the emperor.
Of course, he has no intention of making enemies.
After they all disappeared into the gambling house, the entourage said: "Sir, it seems that this Miss Jiang is really not simple. In a short period of time, she can attract the protection of Prince Qi and Third Young Master Gu, and even the Seventh Prince... What exactly is she?
What is your identity?"
"Identity is not important, what is important is her person."
Hou Mo narrowed his eyes with a hint of smile.
"I still have vision." The attendant was also quite happy.
In the carriage, Jiang Shanshan leaned comfortably against the wall. The carriage, like its owner, had a faint scent of ink, was comfortable and did not feel bumpy.
"What happened? Why did you come to the gambling shop to find me?"
Gu Yuan poured two cups of tea, paused, and pushed one cup to her, "Follow me out of Beijing in three days."
"Huh? It's so fast, doesn't it take half a month?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, she knew what it was about.
"Changes occurred later. I originally wanted to wait for him to go farther away, but I received news that people from the enemy country seem to be making strange movements and may intercept him."
"A person from the enemy country." Jiang Shanshan was surprised, "Can it be said that Liu Yang really collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country?"
"Hard to say!"
Jiang Shanshan picked up the cup and sipped the tea. He thought it was good, so he tasted it slowly.
"Then wouldn't this operation be dangerous?"
Gu Yuan raised his eyes and glided over her moist lips. He thought she was worried, so he comforted her: "As long as I'm here, I will keep you safe."
Jiang Shanshan gave him a strange look, who needs his protection anymore.
"What I mean is that we might as well take this opportunity to do something big and make it impossible for them to come back!"
Gu Yuan paused and looked at her.
