Chapter 001 - I'm Going to Korea(1/2)

(XX website www.xxx.***)(XX website www.xxx.***)(XX website www.xxx.***) On the dining table, Wu Zhi yawned all over the sky, Qi Qiao stayed in Wu Zhi's arms, but refused to come down. Jinlian smiled and told the palace maids to serve the two of them, "Today is the day when my husband accompanied his sister back to the door, and the gift is ready..."

Wu Zhi nodded slightly and reached out to pull Qiqiao down: "Honest meal!"

Qiqiao pouted and sat aside reluctantly. After a while, she secretly rubbed into Jinlian's arms. Jinlian smiled and hugged her. Qiqiao proudly grimaced at Wu Zhi.

Wu Zhi ignored her and just sighed in his heart. The weird Qiqiao won’t become a nerd, right?

The Ye family courtyard is not big, and it is very clean. The weeping willows in the courtyard are blooming green buds, which adds a bit of spring.

Ye Yuanwai smiled and welcomed his baby son-in-law and daughter into the living room, and ordered the servants to serve tea.

In front of me, Qi Qiao did not avoid it. She picked up the snack and insisted on feeding Wu Zhi. Whether Wu Zhi stared at her or ignored her, Qi Qiao refused to rely on her. In desperation, Wu Zhi had to open his mouth obediently and swallow the "sweetest" refreshment that Qi Qiao said.

Although Mr. Ye was funny, seeing the two of them being so beautiful that they were so sweet that they were comforted and smiled with their beards.

"Sir Taishan, why don't you see your two brothers?" After Qiqiao entered the back hall to visit his mother, Takei breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Yuanwai was already smiling, but when Wu Zhi mentioned the two young masters, he immediately smiled and said, "Oh... these two unfilial sons... it's better not to mention them!"

In my impression, Qiqiao's two brothers are not bad and very honest. How could it make Ye Yuanwai look very disgusting? But seeing Ye Yuanwai unwilling to say it, he didn't ask, and turned around: "Is Lord Taishan so good recently?"

Ye Man Wai laughed and said, "It's not a blessing for the prince. I've been so glorious these days." Since Ye Man Wai arrived in the capital, there have been endless officials from all walks of life. There is no need to mention old friends in the past, and those officials who had already moved around and gradually became distant also rushed to visit him. Many well-informed officials came to join in the fun. Only then did Ye Man Wai deeply realize the weight of his baby son-in-law in the capital.

While chatting, there was a burst of jokes and arguments outside. Shoucheng and Shoushi's voices were heard. Ye Yuanwai frowned and said to Wu Zhi: "Prince, wait, I will go out and take a look."

Wu Zhi smiled and said, "I'll see what the two brothers are doing!"

When Shoucheng and Shoushi saw their father and the noble king walk out of the living room at the same time, they hurriedly stopped the sound and came over to greet the two of them.

Mr. Ye snorted coldly: "What have you done?"

The two of them dared not deceive me, so they honestly lowered their heads and replied: "I've gone to the gambling house..."

Wu Zhi almost laughed to death. These two brothers were so interesting.

With Wu Zhi beside him, Ye Yuanwai couldn't get angry and glared at the two of them: "I won't go back to my room yet! It's embarrassing to see you here!"

The two brothers retreated timidly.

Wu Zhi saw Mr. Ye shook his head and sighed repeatedly. He smiled and said, "I'll go and chat with my two brothers. I've been too busy these days and haven't had a deep conversation with my two brothers."

Although Ye Yuanwai felt that his two sons were really embarrassing, the noble king went to get close to him, so he naturally had no choice but to agree.

"You two brother-in-law have good skills?"

Shoucheng and Shoushi were throwing sex. Wu Zhi went into the house for a long time and didn't know it. He looked behind for a while. Not to mention, these two people had good skills, and they were comparable to ordinary old gambling men.

Shoucheng and Shoushi then found that Wu Zhi was standing behind him, and hurriedly collected the gambling equipment and brought a chair for the noble king.

Wu Zhi sat down and said with a smile: "Do you two brothers often go to the gambling house?"

Shoucheng smiled awkwardly: "There are eight days to go to play in ten days."

Wu Zhi sighed in his heart, "Not Ye Yuanwai's fault, it turns out that Qi Qiao's two brothers are actually bad gambling monsters, "bad gambling monsters". A lazy figure suddenly flashed across Wu Zhi's mind, and he shook his head slightly, "Why are the two brothers quarreling just now?"

Shoucheng and Shoushi looked at each other without saying a word.

Wu Zhi smiled and said, "Have you ever been to the gambling house in Beijing? Some new tricks are very fun! I also like to play a few times when I have nothing to do."

Shoucheng and Shoushi heard Wu Zhi go to the gambling house and immediately became excited. Shoucheng smiled and said, "The gambling house in Beijing is indeed much more fun than Jiangnan. My brother just came back from the 'Tianwaitian Gambling House'. The gameplay here is so fresh. Just now, we were talking about the 'Golden Flower' in it. The second brother was reckless and won dozens of coins of silver by others."

Shoshi said unconvincedly: "How could I be reckless? You saw that boy started to be so fierce. Every time he scored a small point, he scared everyone away. Who knew that he would drive the second largest in the end?"

Wu Zhi smiled in his heart and turned out to be his own gambling shop. Lu Cheng has done a good job these days. "Tian Wai Tian" has become the most popular gambling shop in Beijing. As for "Golden Flower", Wu Zhi naturally modified the gameplay of "Zha Jinhua" in later generations and made cards, which were called "Golden Flower Cards", but it just changed the playing cards.

Nowadays, the "Golden Flower Card" is popular in the capital, and it seems that many ways of playing have been developed, becoming a must-have for leisure in the upper class of the capital. However, Wu Zhi, the initiator, could not have imagined.

"Two brothers, when it comes to 'Golden Flower', it doesn't depend entirely on the number of cards. The skills are also very important!" Wu Zhi explained with a smile.

Both brothers were a little dissatisfied and thought to themselves that "Golden Flower" does not rely on points. As long as the cards are extremely high, they will naturally win. They muttered in their hearts, but they dared not say it out. After all, although the person in front of them was the sister-in-law of the two, who really dared to treat him as a sister-in-law?

Wu Zhi naturally saw that the two of them were dissatisfied and smiled and said, "If the two brothers don't believe it, you can gamble with me!"

The eldest brother Shoucheng said he didn't dare. The second brother Shoushi is younger, unlike his brother, who went to the cabinet to get a pair of 'Golden Flower Cards' with a unique shape. Shoucheng kept winking him, Shoushi was hesitant, and Wu Zhi had already taken over the card, "There is no close identity in the casino. Today, the three of us brothers will be happy with each other!"

Wu Zhi insisted on being gambled, and seemed to be very gambled. It was not easy to sweep his sex, so he agreed with his younger brother. He sat down and the three of them surrounded the desk and started gambling.

The golden flower cards are colorful and look very beautiful. The plots on the cards are legendary gods, lifelike, and the points are divided into four colors and thirteen points, which is similar to later generations. It is not easy to create a deck of cards in this era, but the price is quite expensive, and even middle-aged and upper-class people cannot afford them.

The two brothers were a little restrained at the beginning of the gambling game. After a while, they were in a deep position and had already abandoned Wu Zhi's identity and started to clamor. Wu Zhi just smiled.

After this bet, Shocheng and Shoushi were confused by Wu Zhi, as if their cards could be seen through by Wu Zhi. Especially if the two had sky cards such as the same flower leopard, Wu Zhi had never followed them. The only time they called was Wu Zhi who ate Shoushi's flush with the leopard. After half a day, the two brothers won the whole flower by Wu Zhi for several months.

Shoucheng and Shoushi were stunned. Shoushi said dazedly: "Did you open the 'Sky Eye'? Why do you know the cards between me and me?" If I didn't dare to call Wu Zhi "brother-in-law", today's bet brought the three of them closer and called out "brother-in-law".

Wu Zhi pushed back the pile of silver and money in front of him to the two of them, and smiled and said, "There is no such thing as heaven and earth. I have said a gambling method. Skills are the most important. You two are too impetuous, and although you try your best to cover it up, you clearly tell me how many cards in your hand are. How can you not lose in this way?"

Shoucheng and Shoushi remained silent, and Wu Zhi continued on the other side: "If the two brothers continue like this, they will definitely lose nine out of ten bets. This gambling method in Beijing is really not suitable for the two brothers. It is better to go back to Jiangnan and throw the semen..." As he spoke, he was a little contemptuous.

Shoucheng and Shoushi were blushing. Although they were playboys, the comments on "smart" were hanged on the two since childhood. They considered themselves romantic and handsome, and did not care about their father's scolding. Both of them were ordinary minds. It's not that we couldn't succeed. Judging from the mind, how many people in the Jiangnan Casino were our opponents? They really had no interest in business. In the future, they would carry forward the Ye family. Therefore, if the father scolded him, they would still play. Ye took away the money from their own money, and they didn't care. The money won by monthly gambling was enough to drink wine and other expenses.

Today, the two of them were the most proud gambling, but Wu Zhi was ridiculed by them. Why didn't they be ashamed and bow their heads and speak silently?

Wu Zhi said calmly: "A gambling method is ever-changing, and it depends on one's heart. It is the same as the principles in the shopping mall and even the officialdom. If you cannot grasp the opponent's mind, you will lose without any loneliness..."

Shoucheng seemed to have some understanding and looked up and said, "How to grasp the opponent's mind?"

Wu Zhi thought that this son could teach, "Train more and more, contact more and more people..." Suddenly, he joked: "I'm afraid there is nothing to teach the two brothers in the Jiangnan Gambling House..."

Shoucheng and Shoushi didn't laugh, just nodded silently...

Wu Zhi walked out of the two of them and smiled bitterly. He didn't expect that he would have time to educate others, alas...

After lunch at the Ye family courtyard, Wu Zhi and Qi Qiao got up and said goodbye. Sitting in the carriage, Qi Qiao was tired of Wu Zhi's arms again. Wu Zhi posted the two big words "Flower Idiot" on her forehead. There was no way, so she could only let it go.

Stepping into the backyard of the royal palace, Qi Qiao saw that there was no one around and snuggling into Wu Zhi's arms with a smile. Wu Zhi had to walk forward with her shoulders, just like a couple in later generations.

The grass and trees in the backyard were all tender green. The two of them walked on the pebbly path. One was dressed in purple and jade crown, with a flying charm, and the other was flying with a ribbon, with a sweet smile, and they looked like a fairy couple.

After walking a few steps, Jinlian hurriedly came up with her face, her face very ugly, and Zhu'er, who was following her, also had a look of grace.

Wu Zhi was shocked: "What's wrong? What's wrong?" Qi Qiao let go of Wu Zhi, grabbed Jinlian's hand and asked: "What's wrong with the eldest sister? Could it be that someone was bullied? Who is so bold? Qi Qiao will teach him a lesson!"

Jinlian shook her head and handed over a letter, "Xuanjing's letter..."

Qi Qiao took it and said, "Sister Xuanjing's letter? Let me see, is it because Sister Xuanjing is going to come back late? Alas... No wonder my elder sister is sad..."

Wu Zhi used his eyes to signal Jinlian. What was going on? Jinlian pointed to the letter in Qi Qiao's hand and sighed.

Qi Qiao couldn't read a few lines and suddenly shouted: "What? Is this unreasonable?! I'm so angry!..." She stomped her feet there and kept shouting.

Wu Zhi didn't know what was going on, but she was upset. He reached out and snatched the letter, "Be honest, you!"

Qiqiao was stunned for a moment, her eyes turned red, her mouth curled, and tears slowly fell.

Wu Zhi thought she was scolding her fiercely, and she was surprised. She was not so thin on weekdays? Fang wanted to comfort her, but Qi Qiao crawled into Jinlian's arms and cried and said, "I don't want Sister Xuanjing to get married! I don't want it!" Jinlian hugged her and comforted her in a low voice.

Wu Zhi was stunned for a moment and hurriedly looked down at the letter. Xuan Jing's Chinese writing is not much better than Wu Zhi, but the strokes are graceful, and the calligraphy of Wu Zhi's brushwork is much more pleasing to the eye.

This was written by Xuan Jing to the four people. Due to the urgency of time, he only wrote less than a hundred words. Yan Dao returned to Goryeo and realized that he had engaged in a marriage with His Highness Goryeo. He refused to obey and was locked up by the Li family's parents, and even his father would not be able to see him. This letter was written secretly, bribing the servants' land for delivery, and I don't know if it could be delivered to Wu Zhi and others. He just wrote it as a comfort. Looking at the date of the signature, it was a matter of the year before.

Wu Zhi knew a little about the situation of the Li family. Xuan Jing, his father and grandfather's group belonged to the entire branch of the huge Li family. He did business for the Li family. To put it bluntly, it was a tool for making money. He was often cursed. Therefore, Xuan Jing stayed in the Song Dynasty for several years and was unwilling to go back to Goryeo. Unexpectedly, such a thing happened to Goryeo once he returned to Goryeo? Wu Zhi felt angry.

Turning to Jinlian, he asked, "Did the letter be delivered today?"

Jinlian nodded: "Is it sent by the Li family's Zhongshu? It is said that the old man was watching Xuan Jing grow up."

Qiqiao suddenly stopped crying and said hatefully: "I want to save Sister Xuanjing. I will teach the Li family a lesson!" He broke free from Jinlian's arms and was about to go to the outsider.

Wu Zhi didn't stop her, but gave Jinlian a wink and said, "Take me to see the old man who delivered the letter!"

Qiqiao took a few steps and saw Wu Zhijinlian and Zhu'er heading towards the back hall instead. He bit his lips and thought for a while, then turned around and followed.

"Brother-in-law, why are you ignoring others?" After catching up with the three of them, Qi Qiao said angrily.

"How do you care about you? Are you holding you and begging you not to go? Or go crazy with you?" Wu Zhi said as he walked. "Besides, how could you not know the interests of your ability? Don't you understand it?"

Qi Qiao was slightly calmed by Wu Zhi's "pony flattery" and said softly: "It's not that Qi Qiao is impulsive, I'm really angry that the old people of the Li family are! I don't know what happened to Sister Xuan Jing?" He paused and looked up and asked, "Brother-in-law, will you go to Goryeo?"

Wu Zhi said: "What do you think?"

Qi Qiao nodded and stopped talking. She just remembered Xuan Jing's situation, and her eyes gradually turned red again.

In the back hall.

Ang Lee looked at Qiansui, the noble king in front of him, who was at the peak of his life in the Song Dynasty, and his heart was extremely confused.

Ang Lee is already in his fifties and has been sold to the Li family as a slave since he was a child. He has been with Xuan Jing's father Li Cheng for decades. Seeing Xuan Jing grow up, Ang Lee has no relatives. In his heart, Xuan Jing is just like his daughter.

The servants of the head of the Li family who were bribed by Xuan Jing delivered the letter to Ang Lee. For the first time, Li Ang Lee did not discuss with the master, and only said he would come to the Song Dynasty to buy things and boarded the fleet of the Song Dynasty. Naturally, Xuan Jing could not tell the servants that there was a noble king of the Song Dynasty among the recipients, but only said he would send it to the Ye family in Jiangnan. If he said he would send it to the Song Dynasty palace, he would be afraid that the servants would not dare to spread the letter, after all, it would have a great relationship.

Ang Lee only knew that he wanted to send the letter to the Ye family in Jiangnan and hand it over to the third lady of the Ye family. Although he didn't know what kind of help to Xuanjing, since it was Miss Xuanjing's wish, he had to help her fulfill it. After rushing all the way to the sea, he finally arrived at the Ye family. Who knew that the servant said that the third lady was in the capital and was about to marry into the noble palace.

The servants of the Ye family were enthusiastically trying to send Ang Lee to the Ye family courtyard in the capital to meet Ye family. Ang Lee refused. The letter was given to the third lady of the Ye family. He could not be asked Ye family to meet him. Ye family members had a close relationship with the master, so who knew what would happen if he saw him?

Ang Lee has been with Li Cheng all year round and is naturally well-versed in Chinese. He spent money to hire a guide in Quanzhou. When the guide heard that he was going to the noble palace, he was so excited that he told him about the deeds of the noble king along the way. The more he heard, the more surprised he was. What a great skill of this noble king? The third prince of Goryeo was cut off by the noble king of Song Dynasty was considered a great shame and humiliation. Ang Lee naturally wouldn't know, but wouldn't he be scared to death if he knew it?

When he arrived in front of the noble palace, he saw the grand and powerful nature of the noble palace, Ang Lee couldn't help but retreat. The guide pushed him to the door from behind.

He reported that he was the messenger of Miss Xuanjing, the Li family in Gaoli. Before he could tell him to send a message to the third lady of the Ye family, the current princess, the guards smiled happily and welcomed him into the palace enthusiastically. Of course, necessary inspections were inevitable. But this excessive enthusiasm still surprised Ang Lee. Why did Miss Xuanjing look very familiar with the noble palace?

After waiting for the noble prince to meet him in person, he inquired about the news about Miss Xuanjing one by one. Ang Lee was completely stunned. He never expected that the Li family, who had been cursed in the family, would be prosperous in the Song Dynasty. Miss Xuanjing and the princess, who were the most popular princes in the Song Dynasty, were sworn sisters.

Now he was summoned by the noble king again. Listening to the powerful young nobleman, Ang Lee's eyes were wet, and he felt that Miss Xuanjing had no friends. What is his identity? He could treat himself as a servant. And he was so kind to the underground people in a small overseas country. Wouldn't he behave in a respectable way to see Miss Xuanjing's face?
To be continued...
