Hold the thick thighs tightly [My father is a traitor]

Chapter 833 Gambling (1+2)

The next morning, snow was falling as heavy as goose feathers, and the sky and the earth were covered in silver.

Little Yining slept until she woke up naturally, arched her body, leaned out from the bed curtain, took a look outside, and immediately decided to take root in the bed today, and suddenly retracted her body under the quilt.

In the blink of an eye, two big hands suddenly reached out, stuffed them under her armpits at lightning speed, and lifted her up into the air with ease.

She waved her little feet and complained, "Dad is so bad, Qingjie is on vacation!"

However, she was immediately caught off guard by a pair of cold eyes, only an inch away from them.

Little Yining immediately calmed down and asked obediently, "Sister San, Aunt Zhao hasn't come back yet?"

13 glanced coldly at the man in front of her, and the next moment, the little baby in front of her was held in his arms.

Lin Yuzan replied, "Madame Zhao just sent someone away. Father told her to come back after the seventh day."

The little baby stayed in the arms without any threat, and once again kicked up his little feet and struggled to return to the warm bed.

Lin Yuzan was not one to indulge her. He slapped his daughter's restless feet and said, "Your mother has to go out for a day. You should go to the study with your father to study."

As soon as these words came out, little Yining saw through his conspiracy: "Qingjie'er wants to follow mother, and doesn't want to go to the study with father! When Jiang Daxueshi sees Qingjie'er, he will stop scolding father!"

Lin Yuzan: (▼へ▼メ) This unfilial daughter doesn’t know how to share her father’s worries at all!

"Father and Academician Jiang had already agreed yesterday that if he is satisfied with the article written by father and uncle today and does not scold him, he will let father go for an hour in the afternoon, and then father will take Sister Qing out to play." The old man coaxed patiently and winked at Qiu Yi.

Qiu Yi immediately understood and said hurriedly, "Princess, Yuelai Teahouse recently opened a gambling game to bet on the winner of this year's imperial examination. Young Master Leng and Big Uncle are both on the list. The odds for Young Master Leng are 2 to 1, and for Big Uncle, 5 to 1."

Lin Yuzan continued to tempt him, "Sister Qing, do you want to go to Yuelai Teahouse to join in the fun? The Yanjing Academy closed yesterday, so there must be..."

Before he finished speaking, the kid couldn't wait to make a choice: "Go, go, go... go!"

The old man nodded with satisfaction, and just as he was about to smile, he was furious at his daughter's question.

"Sister Qiuyi, is my father on the list of Yuelai Teahouse?" Xiao Yining asked curiously.

Qiu Yi lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said truthfully, "Princess, Brother Baozi said that my name is not on the list."

"Oh, Dad is so useless!" Little Yining sighed lightly.

Lin Yuzan: …

Lin Yuzan: ...

The sound of slaps suddenly rang out in the main room, and the little kid suddenly turned against him and shouted, "I want my mother to take me there..."

Finally, under the threat of force, little Yining was "very obediently" held in her father's arms and strode towards the study.

Pushing open the study door, warmth wrapped in the scent of ink hit them in the face, and the father and daughter met four pairs of eyes with different expressions.

The little kid blinked his tearful eyes and looked in surprise at Lin Yinhu and Wang Gungun who appeared here.

Jiang Tingsong's eyes, which had been filled with anger, immediately subsided. He stepped forward respectfully and bowed to the little boy, "Greetings to Princess Le'an."

Seeing this, Xiao Yining sniffed in grievance and said sincerely, "Master Jiang, I came here to listen to you scold my father! You must scold him harshly!"

Lin Yuzan: (* ￣︿￣), this unfilial daughter!

Jiang Tingsong: ...

The old man didn't respond to the kid's words, and said calmly, "Princess Le'an is joking!"

Then, his tone changed, and he looked at Lin Yuzan with a slightly stern look: "Student Lin, first make sure Princess Le'an is properly settled, and then hand the article over to me."

The old man humbly agreed, put his daughter on a low stool, then turned around and met the playful gaze of his old rival, sparks flying instantly.

Wang Cheng: →_→, Shunan is so cunning!

Lin Yuzan: ←_←, same here!

After the communication, the two old men handed in their respective articles with great ease.

Jiang Tingsong glanced sideways at the three little ones who had appeared, then raised his eyes and glared unhappily at the two "little foxes" in front of him. Then, he assigned the day's questions, waved them aside with disdain, and began to review the articles.

Seeing that their initial goal had been achieved, the two old men looked at each other, and with a knowing smile, they went to another long table to do their homework.

There was silence in the study for a while.

But before even a cup of tea could last, the voices of three children talking could be heard in the room.

Wang Gungun sat on a low stool, shaking his feet. Seeing the three adults minding their own business, he leaned towards Xiao Yining and whispered mischievously, "Qingjie, believe it or not, as soon as we leave the study, this Grand Secretary Jiang will definitely scold your father and your uncle to death."

Xiao Yining: *罒w罒*

The two little kids' cunning eyes met in the air, and a gleam of light flashed in their eyes at the same time. As if they had telepathy, they quietly lifted their buttocks and prepared to run away.

However, they forgot that there was an honest young man here.

As soon as Lin Yinhu noticed the little kids on either side moving around, he reached out and pushed them back onto the stools, warning them with considerable experience, "Qing Jie'er, get out of here! Don't move around! If the teacher sees us, he'll scold us."

Two little ones: ...

"Master Jiang is not my teacher." The two little kids retorted in unison.

"Why not?" Lin Yinhu quickly corrected.

He secretly glanced at Jiang Tingsong who was reading a book, and whispered: "Old Master Jiang also said that he was not his teacher when he saw the prince, but he said that as long as the prince entered the house, he would be under his charge."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Yining immediately caught the point, "Is it Elder Jiang who is teaching Hu Ge'er in the palace?"

The young boy nodded without denying.

Wang Gungun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he blurted out, "Then you are of the same generation as Jiang Daxueshi, and also the uncle of Lin Yuzan and my uncle!"

Lin Yinhu: Σ(⊙▽⊙“a, is that so?

Three adults: ...

Jiang Tingsong raised his eyes from the book, glared at the two cunning old men again, and was about to correct the little boy's words.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, two burning gazes appeared on his face.

Two little kids: (Φ w Φ), are you going to start scolding?

Jiang Tingsong: (￣_￣|||), having children around really affects his performance!

The old man turned his head as if he hadn't seen it, and then turned to the two old men and said, "After you finish writing the article, take the children out to play. I will discuss the writing in detail with you two in the evening."

The two cunning old men achieved their ultimate goal. They looked at each other again and bowed in thanks, "Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for your understanding!"

Then, Lin Yuzan extended an invitation: "Master Jiang, please come with us to the Yuelai Teahouse to see the level of the candidates in this year's special examination."

The old man nodded slightly in agreement and returned his gaze to the book.

The study was silent again.

It was not until this moment that the little girl realized that she had been tricked by the old man.

Xiao Yining: ???, old men are so cunning!

After an unknown amount of time, the gate of the Lin family slowly opened, and the princess's majestic carriage slowly drove out. The wheels rolled over the silver frost on the ground, leaving two thick tracks that extended all the way to the Yuelai Teahouse.

At this moment, Yuelai Teahouse was in a state of bustle. Even though there was heavy snow outside, the enthusiasm in the teahouse had not diminished in the slightest.

The carriage stopped steadily at the door. Seeing this, the waiter hurried forward and waited respectfully beside the carriage, waiting for the guests inside to come out and help.

Little Yining was wrapped in a silver-gray wolf fur cloak by her father, who followed Jiang Tingsong and carried her into the lobby of Yuelai Teahouse.

As soon as she entered, her ears were filled with noisy discussions about the popular candidates for this special examination. She even heard a few people comparing the academic level of her uncle and Leng Shuyu.

She couldn't help but stretch out her little hand, gently pull open her father's cloak, and peek through the gap. The scene in the lobby of Yuelai Teahouse immediately came into her sight.

Yuelai Teahouse no longer resembles its former self. The storytelling platform is now covered with various signs. Furthermore, the corridor on the second floor is also covered with signs, each with a name.

This is not the most eye-catching thing. The most eye-catching thing is the bright red cloth in the center of the lobby.

This thing was hanging from the roof beam, and there were twenty names written from top to bottom. Leng Shuyu and her uncle Wang Cheng's names were among them, ranking ninth and eighteenth respectively.

Below the red cloth was a long table with a wooden sign marked "Bet" on it. There were twenty bamboo tubes around it, each with the twenty names written on the red cloth marked on it. There was one tube for each person, and each tube contained a different number of thin sticks.

When little Yining saw this scene, his mouth opened into an "O" shape in surprise, and he sighed in his heart: Another day of broadening my horizons!

Lin Yuzan noticed his daughter's peeping immediately. He shook his head with a smile and opened the cloak that was tightly covering his chest, revealing his daughter's small round face that was flushed with heat.

At this moment, Xiao Yining finally got a full view of the Yuelai Teahouse. It was filled with a sea of ​​heads, filled with scholars and writers. The lobby was completely packed, a stark contrast to the few people she had seen along the way.

The little kid couldn't help but sigh: "Dad, uncle, there are so many people here!"

Wang Cheng explained in a gentle voice, "This is a rare and elegant event, so naturally there are many people."

Xiao Yining: (???.???)????How can gambling be an elegant thing?

But she still nodded obediently, and then her eyes were attracted by the betting table in the middle, and she leaned out to take a look.

The next moment, her father forced her to straighten her body and face the stairs.

Lin Yuzan walked upstairs and called out, "Master Jiang, I have booked a private room. Please follow me."

When Jiang Tingsong heard this, he glanced at him sarcastically and said firmly, "It seems that Student Lin has wanted to come here for a long time."

The old man raised his head, casually glanced at the wooden sign in the lobby, and said without denying it: "Of course, in addition to working behind closed doors, students also like to know themselves and their opponents."

As soon as he finished speaking, the little kid in his arms started to stir. He turned around and stretched out his little hand towards the betting table eagerly: "Dad, Qingjie will help you get some information. Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle!"

On the other side, Wang Gungun, who was in Wang Cheng's arms, also struggled to get off the ground, his eyes gleaming brightly: "I want to go too. I want to bet and make a lot of money."

Wang and Lin: ......

"You are not allowed to go!" the two old men retorted in unison.

With that, the two of them didn't linger in the lobby any longer, and walked towards the reserved box, holding their respective children.

Two little ones: (* ￣︿￣), just hold them (hold them hostage) and do whatever you want, hum!

Unexpectedly, halfway up the stairs, Xiao Yining looked down at several scholars arguing over whether to place their bets on Wang Cheng or Leng Shuyu. Finally, as one of them argued convincingly, everyone placed their money in front of Leng Shuyu's bamboo tube, where the dealer quickly collected the money and wrote it down.

Seeing this, the little kid, who had been resigned to his fate, suddenly became angry and became even more noisy than before. He darted his feet in the air, twisted his body, and pointed angrily at the group of scholars who had just placed bets: "Uncle, they said you can't compare to Mr. Leng and look down on you. Sister Qing is going to add a lot for you."

As soon as these words were spoken, the most "well-behaved" Lin Yinhu looked in the direction his cousin pointed. He saw that Leng Shuyu's bamboo tube was already filled with countless sticks, while Wang Cheng's was only filled with a dozen or so. He was also furious and clenched his fists and said, "Why do they look down on Uncle Chengzi?"

Wang Gungun also joined in the fun at the right time: "Let's go place the bets and give Uncle a bigger lottery."

Wang Cheng glanced at his bamboo tube speechlessly, and said indifferently, "Don't join in the fun. It's just some grandstanding to attract attention. After the imperial examination, who knows how many people will cry and how many will laugh."

Unexpectedly, her niece's next words received strong support from one person.

Upon hearing what the old man said, Xiao Yining immediately changed his strategy: "They also said that Scholar Jiang is no match for Scholar Qiu!"

The old man who was walking to the side, who had nothing to do with the matter, stopped abruptly. He turned his head to look down and snorted coldly, "Ridiculous, this is totally nonsense!"

Then, he looked at the two old men and advised, "Forget it. Since Princess Le'an and these two boys are willing to show their filial piety to you, we, as elders, should not stop them."

The two old men looked at each other helplessly, and had to let go, put the two kids on the ground, and told 13, the most reliable person here, to keep an eye on the three little ones.

Wang Cheng even took out the only three remaining gold hairpins from his arms and handed them over as a fee for custody.

Gold Hairpin=0

Wang Cheng: So happy!

The three little ones received the "release order" and immediately rushed to the betting table hand in hand like happy deer.

Wang and Lin stopped for a moment in the middle of the stairs. Seeing 13 using his own cool air to clear the way for the three little ones, they felt relieved and walked towards the box again.

What the two old men didn't expect was that as soon as they brought Jiang Tingsong into the box, they heard him say leisurely, "It just so happens that the children are not here, so I just want to talk to you two about the shortcomings of the article."

Wang and Lin froze and turned around in disbelief, only to see the conscientious old teacher take out the articles they had written this morning from his sleeve and give them a cold smile.

Wang and Lin: (???;), this old guy actually has a trick up his sleeve!

The door of the box was closed heavily, without causing any ripples in Yuelai Teahouse.
