Before he returned to the open space, Zhao Rang saw another person at the table from a distance.
There is another woman with an extremely slender and beautiful figure.
But from behind, she is even a bit stronger than Ye Sanniang!
The woman was playing Pai Gow with Ye Sanniang.
There are two ways to play Pai Gow. Each person plays Pai Gow with four cards, which are divided into two groups, big and small, and matched with the cards respectively. Each player has two cards of Pai Gow, and the winner is decided quickly and easily.
The two of them were playing Pai Gow.
When Zhao Rang came closer, both of them actually had a good hand!
This woman has one "six o'clock" and one "five o'clock", which form a "tiger head", while Ye Sanniang has two "six o'clock", which form a pair of "tianpai"!
"My sister won again, what a blessing!"
The woman said coquettishly.
Zhao Rang sounded a little uncomfortable... Some people seemed to be born to spread charm. Every frown, every word and every action, even if they are not done deliberately, will make people feel like this when they move their hands and feet!
Ye Sanniang smiled faintly, gathered the Pai Gow on the table, and said:
"Where is it? This is not a happy event that I borrowed from you, so I feel better!"
Zhao Rang sat back in his original position, and after looking at Yuan Kexin and Ye Sanniang respectively, he turned to the face of this strange woman.
This woman is really good looking!
Among the women Zhao Rang has ever seen, they are all among the top three!
It's just that the temperament of this woman is a bit elusive to Zhao Rang... At first glance, he thought she was about the same age as Yuan Kexin, and she was still a little girl. But at the second glance, I felt that there were already a few fine wrinkles in the corners of her eyes, and she should be about the same age as Ye Sanniang.
But what stands out the most is not her face, nor the charming aura flowing around her body, but her hands.
Zhao Rang has roughly guessed the identity of this woman.
The one who can sit here majestically and play cards with Ye Sanniang must be the lady Shen Liushu.
Madam is a red flower in the West Courtyard. Seeing her appearance and temperament, she is determined to come out on top no matter where she is placed in the West Courtyard.
Such a money-spinner, the madam couldn't let her do any more chores! As long as he is well cared for, fed and slept well, honed and honed in his communication skills when dealing with others, and his ability to turn on the lamp and get into bed, that will be enough. The maid will help him take care of everything else in order!
When a person wants to do something, he uses his hands and feet the most.
The feet are usually worn in shoes, but the hands are always exposed.
Zhao Rang looked at the woman's hands. The fingers and sleeves were long, the knuckles were slightly thick, and the back of the hand was thin and strong. Especially the palm joints, even if they are placed flat on the table and no force is exerted, they are slightly red.
The hands of an oiran who does nothing will definitely not look like this.
Zhao Rang was very firm on this point.
Don't ask him how he knew.
Anyway, the "green" hands mentioned by Ximen Dazhuang are not like this!
The woman noticed Zhao Rang's gaze, staring at her hands. But she was not timid at all. Instead, she raised her arm, shook her sleeves, and exposed her wrist and part of her forearm, as if she was afraid that Zhao Rang wouldn't be able to see enough.
Seeing this, Zhao Rang smiled and looked away. It happened that Shen Liushu also returned to the table, patted the woman's shoulder and motioned for her to stand up.
"Young Master Zhao, Young Master Ximen, this is my wife, you two are laughing!"
Zhao Rang picked up the wine glass and said generously:
"Not only does Shopkeeper Shen run the bank well, but it seems that his love life is also very smooth! It's a great day for us brothers. Here's a toast to you both!"
Ximen Dazhuang also followed suit and said:
"Have a son soon!"
This statement made the whole table laugh!
Seeing that Shen Liushu has some gray hair on his temples, if he really wants to have a "noble son", he has to work hard, and he has to have "a pear tree crushing a begonia" every night!
When Chen Liushu heard Ximen Dazhuang's instructions, he smiled sheepishly, and then said:
"You two gentlemen, please wait a moment. The younger one has to go and support us!"
Zhao Rang had no objection.
The bridal chamber has been one of the biggest happy events in the world since ancient times. There are so many tables and seats in the open space, and the guests who come and go have to take care of them one by one.
"Marriage is also a troublesome matter..."
Ximen Dazhuang suddenly sighed and said.
Zhao Rang laughed loudly and said:
"It's okay, you have money!"
Ximen Dazhuang retorted:
“It’s troublesome to have money!”
Zhao Rang's smile did not diminish and he continued:
"If you have money, you can hire someone to marry you. Wouldn't that be troublesome?"
Ximen Dazhuang's reaction was unpleasant, but he was not a fool! How can you hire someone to do such a thing as getting married? Who will take the next few steps? In the end, his son was born for him, which is so interesting, it can be said to be the only one in the world!
"Brother Rang, I really have nothing to say about your point of view. Maybe it's because I'm not rich enough. When I have more money, I will consider what you said!"
After that, the two brothers laughed and drank a drink.
Zhao Rang wiped his mouth and ate the cold dishes on the table.
There are twenty-eight dishes per table, including all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas. But what Zhao Rang likes most is a cold dish: cucumber shoots!
Peel the fresh cucumber, pat it from beginning to end with the blade of a knife, and then cut it into small sections of about one inch. Put it on a plate, mix with minced garlic and vinegar, it's sour, spicy, cool and extremely refreshing.
After taking two bites, Yuan Kexin held up the wine glass, brought it to Zhao Rang, and asked:
"What happened just now? Shopkeeper Shen looks so bad?"
Zhao Rang just felt a little comfortable, but her words brought back the memory of the river of blood and corpses everywhere. But he didn't say much to Yuan Kexin, only three words: They are all dead.
The Zhong family class that everyone was looking forward to the most, but now no one has appeared, it is clear who the "all dead" refers to.
Ye Sanniang poured herself a glass of wine and asked:
"Yunli Fei is also dead?"
Zhao Rang nodded.
There was a look of understanding on Ye Sanniang's face, as if she had expected it.
"Do you know Yunli Fei?"
Zhao Rang asked.
Ye Sanniang said disdainfully:
"That's a liar! It's a miracle that he's alive to this day!"
These words were exactly the same as what Zhao Rang said before. The wine glass in Ximen Dazhuang's hand paused for a moment. Remembering that I had begged heaven and earth to worship him as my teacher, I felt very uncomfortable...
Zhao Rang didn't care how Ye Sanniang knew Yunli Fei's background, but he asked about the "flying knife".
Ye Sanniang thought for a moment and replied:
"There are a few people. But flying knives are hidden weapons, and the people who use them are also mixed with other hidden weapons. What's more, hidden weapons are not things used by the righteous in the first place. Even if there are experts, they are not willing to reveal their reputation, otherwise they are seeking death. ?"
Zhao Rang agreed very much with what Ye Sanniang said.
There are only two people who use concealed weapons, no matter how fast their hands are. If he really arouses public anger and is attacked by a group of people, he will definitely be hard to defeat with both fists and will inevitably die.
After drinking a few more glasses of wine, Zhao Rang saw Shen Liushu and his wife toasting and joking at tables from far to near.
Everyone's blessings turned into a shy blush on the little lady's face.
But Zhao Rang noticed that this young lady was holding the wine glass with her left hand.
Although there are many left-handed people in the world, it is the most basic courtesy to hold the cup with both hands when toasting! This woman was born in the Western Courtyard, so she should be the most familiar with these things. It is not an exaggeration to say that she has many treasures.
But her right hand was always tucked into her sleeve, and the entire arm hung straight by her side, as if it was broken and motionless. This was a bit strange!
And this little lady's awareness is extremely keen.
Zhao Rang's eyes just stayed on her for a moment, and he seemed to feel it. This time she did not raise her sleeves to expose her wrists and forearms like she did before. Instead, she stepped back and hid herself beside Shen Liushu.
Ye Sanniang joked:
"Why are you looking at this young lady in a daze? I'm so surprised that my sister will arrange one for you. She will definitely be no worse than this one!"
Zhao Rang's eyes remained still, then he asked:
"When you two played Pai Gow just now, did she only use one hand?"
Ye Sanniang shook her head and said she didn't remember.
I just remember that she was very lucky and had been winning before. It was not until Zhao Rang came back that she lost for the first time.
With Ye Sanniang's martial arts cultivation, there was no need to pay attention to so many details. Anyway, she can handle any crisis with ease, and thinking too much will only waste her own time. If you have the time, why not do something that makes you happy, such as playing cards or drinking.
Chen Liushu and the young lady had already reached the last table.
Among the guests at this table was a tall and tall young man.
Judging from the profile, he is similar in age to Zhao Rang.
The clothes he was wearing were extremely gorgeous and well-tailored. Coupled with his handsome yet somewhat feminine face, he was indeed a rare and handsome man! Zhao Rang had to admit that this young man was indeed much more handsome than him.
When speaking, even if there is no smile, the eyes will be slightly curved, giving people a kind and gentle feeling. This kind of young man is usually very lovable, but Zhao Rang feels that his body is a bit weak.
You can understand it if you think about it.
Young people like to drink and sing happily. If you want to please a woman, you will definitely have some lack of rest, and it is inevitable that you will be weak, so there is nothing to make a fuss about.
So Zhao Rang only paid a little attention and didn't care.
But the attitude of this young lady Shen Liushu is quite intriguing!
When the two men were toasting with the young man, the young lady's right shoulder actually moved. Then she slowly raised her right arm, held the wine glass with both hands, and touched it lightly.
Although her movements were gentle and slow. But Zhao Rang still saw the corner of the little lady's mouth twitching slightly when she raised her right arm, as if she was enduring.
What is she enduring in the simplest movement of raising her arm?
Zhao Rang's mind flashed to the shoe print of the woman he saw in the other courtyard just now, as well as the blood dripping next to the shoe print.
