444 This girl has become shrewd
Landuo smiled a little smugly, and then said mysteriously, "I have to thank you for this." ”
"Thank me? What does this money have to do with me? Zheng Peng said confusedly.
I was busy with guests all day, but I didn't do anything.
Lan Duo smiled, took out a dice from his sleeve and threw it at Zheng Peng.
Zheng Peng took a look at it, it was the dice of fish, shrimp and crabs, and he felt a thrill in his heart, and immediately asked: "County Lord, you, are you going to gamble today?" All this money is won by gambling money? ”
"Yes" Lan Duo said with a smile: "Your probability theory, the county lord is not very clear, but you said to win more and lose less, so you took this pair of dice and tools, and went to Chang'an Horse Market to find horse dealers in the clan, you don't know, Chang'an's horse market has seven or eight horse dealers, they sell horses and sell horses and doctors, one by one rich and oily, with their joining, and other horse dealers joined, in less than an hour, after removing the cost, I earned more than 8,000 guan, and I made money and went to the East Market with Xiaoice to walk around before returning." ”
Speaking of this, Lan Duo said generously: "Don't worry, I bought gifts for you and Sister Lin, and I should thank you." ”
I lost more than 6,000 guan last night, and I earned more than 8,000 guan today, not only did I return all of my money, but I also had a surplus of more than 2,000 guan, and Lan Duo was in a good mood.
Zheng Peng frowned and looked at Lan Duo with a proud face, and quickly said with a cold face: "County master, you go to play money, that is your freedom, how to pull Xiaoice up, didn't you teach my sister badly?" ”
Gambling money is a bad habit, Zheng Peng doesn't like to gamble, so he doesn't let people gamble, last night was an exception, casually passed the so-called probability to Lan Duo, I didn't expect this little girl to go to her accomplices to gamble today, and she really let her win.
However, what is the matter with bringing Zheng Bing with him, and what should I do if I break Zheng Bing's affairs?
Lan Duo didn't expect Zheng Peng to turn his face when he said it, and he was startled, but he quickly responded: "Xiaoice didn't participate, she just drank tea and ate snacks in the living room, and I asked the guards to follow to protect her safety and ensure that there was no danger." ”
"Xiaoice can't help again, so what are you taking her for?"
Lan Duo smiled mysteriously, and quickly explained: "The probability you said is to win more and lose less, but you also said that you can't guarantee a steady win, and besides, the county lord doesn't know if you are lying to me, there is no way, so I have to pull Xiaoice to be bold." ”
"You're ruthless!" Zheng Peng took a few deep breaths, and then said helplessly.
A lot of thoughts flashed through my heart, but I couldn't do anything about her, so I had to give up.
Obviously, Lan Duo has no certainty of victory, he is afraid that he will not be able to get out of it, and bringing Zheng Bing is to add a layer of insurance to himself, and then he will really lose and have no money to give, with Zheng Bing here, Zheng Peng just doesn't want to help and has to help.
It's really thoughtful.
Not only is Landuo shrewd, but fortunately, his luck is not bad, otherwise he would not have won so much money back.
If you lose money, you immediately find your own people to win it back, and answer the sentence: fellow countryman, a shot in the back.
Those horse dealers were slaughtered by Landuo during the New Year, and it is estimated that this year will not be good.
"Each other," Lan Duo said with some indignation, "What do you say that you have cheated the county lord for more than 6,000 times?" ”
Obviously, he gambled on his own red eyes, and even bet on himself, but now it's better to complain about Zheng Peng.
Lin Xun'er saw that the two were about to quarrel, so she immediately pulled the county lord and said, "It's all over, forget it, county master, didn't you just say that you bought a gift for the slave family, where is it, I feel itchy when I hear it." ”
"Here, this box of rouge is produced in the Great Food Country, and it is said that it is made with the secret recipe of the Persian royal family in the past, it is very beautiful, you will know if you try it."
"Really? Where is it? ”
"Here, Sister Lin, let's go, try a new fat rouge."
After changing the subject, the three women talked about rouge with great interest, some talked and laughed and went back to the room for testing, and Lando did not forget to ask his guards to carry the money back to her room when she left.
Well, this pair of problem men and women, one is an official fan, the other is a financial fan, Zheng Peng doesn't know what to say.
After the third daughter left, Li Bai took the initiative to ask, "Son, who else will come later?" It seems that there is not much in the marinade, so you need to cut more. ”
Fortunately, he treats braised pork as a snack, stuffs it in his mouth when he has time, and chews at least two or three catties a day, Zheng Peng is a little envious of him, as far as Li Bai's way of eating, there is no sign of gaining weight at all, I don't know if it is a physical problem or he consumes it from practicing swords every day.
"What, aren't you afraid of another one pouring cold water on you later?" Zheng Peng said jokingly.
"A manly man, he can bend and stretch, how can he fall down at a little setback" Li Bai said with some pride: "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, wait and see, when Taibai is famous, let him take off his boots for me." ”
This product is really on the bar.
Zheng Peng wanted to say to him, if the wheel of history did not undergo a major shift, young man, your wish would come true, but think about it, forget it, the excitement of life is the infinite possibilities of the future.
"Wait, I don't know who will come." Zheng Peng said casually.
After a busy day, Zheng Peng didn't know how much wine he drank and how much he ate, and he was so tired that he fell asleep as soon as he fell into bed at night.
Early the next morning, Zheng Peng went to Ci'en Temple with his family to listen to a lecture by a master named Yun En on the grounds of listening to Buddhist scriptures, and rented a Zen room by donating sesame oil and hid from the throne.
Fortunately, it was out, and the news from Huang San was that there was an endless stream of people who came to the throne, and they were about to break the threshold, if they were at home, they didn't know how busy they would be.
Mainly because of the high-profile appearance of Gaolis, those officials knew that Gaolishi appeared, and they came to visit in the hope of catching up with Gaolis, not only the officials wanted to pull the relationship through the throne, but those literati also wanted to come to the door to ask for advice, and the front of the Zheng family was simply like a car.
waited until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and Zheng Peng could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The Tang Dynasty had a seven-day holiday for the New Year, the first three and the last four, and they had to return to their respective posts on the fifth day of the New Year, and it seemed that the festive atmosphere of the New Year was fading, in fact, the people of Chang'an knew that it was now preparing for the upcoming Shangyuan Festival.
On this day, Zheng Peng was lazily basking in the sun under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard, when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, and heard Huang Sanying say a few words, and then the voice sank.
"Young master, the people from Wuhoupu are here." Huang San walked up to Zheng Peng to report.
"What are they doing here?"
"Those who came to register, let's see if we need the government to match lanterns, the small ones have already rejected them."
Zheng Peng sat up and said with some curiosity: "With lights, with what lights?" ”
"Young master, you forgot, there are still ten days to the Shangyuan Festival, according to the regulations, during the Shangyuan Festival, every household must hang lanterns in front of the door, and ensure that the lanterns are not extinguished all night, otherwise they will be punished, the yamen understands that those who are not generous or too lazy to make lanterns can go to the Wuhou shop to receive free lanterns, but those lanterns that do not cost money are very ordinary, and the small ones are in charge, saying that they do not need to be distributed." Huang San said respectfully.
In the Tang Dynasty, the Shangyuan Festival was more grand and lively than the New Year, all kinds of lanterns were the protagonists of the Shangyuan Festival, and the lanterns became the faces of all households, and every household would find a way to hang a few exquisite lanterns at the door.
During the carnival of the Shangyuan Festival, after nightfall, people will gather in groups to look for good-looking lanterns, who will tell each other when they see good-looking lanterns, so that as long as they see who has more people in front of their door, they will know whose lanterns are beautiful.
The more people at the door, the happier the hosts became, believing that it would bring them good luck and a good mood, and sometimes they would bring out food and tea for the lantern admirers to enjoy;
If no one looks at the lanterns in someone's house, the owner will be depressed and become the object of ridicule by the neighbors.
Zheng Peng is a general and a recognized talent, this house is rented, and he can't lose face.
"Well done, isn't it just a lantern, we make it ourselves." Zheng Peng said with interest.
Just as he was about to order Huang San to prepare, Lan Duo, Xiaoice and Lin Xun'er came back hand in hand, and when they saw Zheng Peng in the courtyard, Lin Xun'er said happily: "Young Master, you are too good here, I am preparing to find you." ”
"Something?"
"Let's discuss making lanterns" Lin Xun'er said happily: "Young master, do you remember, you promised Xun'er to make big and beautiful lanterns." ”
"Remember, isn't there ten days left, don't worry."
Lan Duo immediately retorted: "It's not in a hurry, just now Zuojiaofang transported several truckloads of materials for making lanterns back, when we came back, we saw Zhou Shangshu in front of the mansion, set up a mold of more than ten zhang, ready to make a float, you didn't prepare anything, what, you are a big and beautiful lantern, you won't spend a hundred or dozens of dollars to buy a few casually, right?" ”
The three girls went to the East Market together, and on the way, they saw that all families were busy preparing lanterns to celebrate the Shangyuan Festival, and when they came back, they saw that Zheng Peng was still not in a hurry at all, and the outspoken Lan Duo couldn't help but ask.
If it weren't for the Yamen sending someone to register just now, Zheng Peng really didn't think about it, and immediately said when he heard the words: "What kind of lantern I was thinking about just now, not only to be magnificent, but also beautiful, I want the whole Chang'an City to see that a hundred and dozens of lanterns are nothing, and they don't think it's enough to hang in a thatched house." ”
"I also want everyone in Chang'an to see that you are a fool's dream," Lan Duo said with some contempt: "It's good if you don't let the neighborhood laugh." ”
The annual Shangyuan Festival is the top priority of the festival, don't look at many people who have only started to make it now, in fact, they have made preparations early, like the schema, materials and the skilled craftsmen who tie the lanterns have been prepared, others are busy in full swing, Zheng Peng is still lazy, not prepared at all, and dares to threaten to see the people in Chang'an City, it is simply bragging.
"Don't believe me? Do you want to bet or not? Zheng Peng looked at Lan Duo and said with a smile.
As soon as he heard the bet, Lan Duo subconsciously took a step back, hesitated, and quickly shook his head: "Don't gamble, so as not to spoil the interest of watching the lanterns." ”
I don't know why, every time I bet with Zheng Peng, I can't get any benefits, and I almost put myself into it during the New Year, but fortunately, Zheng Peng is still measured, Lan Duo has thought about it, and he won't bet with anyone and Zheng Peng.
Okay, this little chick Landuo has become shrewd after suffering a few losses.
