"In places where Tibetan Buddhism is popular, people believe in gods and Buddhas. In order to atone for their sins and hope to be forgiven, there is a ceremony called "kowtow to the long head"."
Shen Qinghe was shocked and felt vaguely uneasy. Ever since my sister came back from being lost, she seemed to be able to read her thoughts at a glance.
She seemed to have grown a lot overnight.
"The late Queen treats my daughter as her own child and has always been the person I respect the most. If my sister is unwilling to atone for her sins, I will kneel from here to Jiyun Temple and beg the Queen for forgiveness."
Shen Qinghe, you think you are the only one with good acting skills, so you can pretend to be pitiful.
If I don’t give you some color, you really have forgotten the etiquette of respect and inferiority!
"Come here, please ask Miss Shen Er to apologize to the late Queen." Jiang Yubai stood with his hands behind his hands, his eyes cold and ruthless, and he ignored Shen Qinghe's pleas.
Shen Qinghe grabbed Jiang Yubai's sleeves with trembling hands, but he coldly shook them off, and said with disdain: "A concubine with ulterior motives dares to damage the late queen's relics!"
Shen Qinghe was pinned to the ground by Jin Yiwei and handed the hairpin on his head back to Shen Zhiyi. Unexpectedly, Shen Zhiyi started crying as soon as he took the hairpin.
"I...I miss the Queen."
Emperor Jing looked at the phoenix hairpin in front of him, and the memory of the late empress exploded in his mind.
She is the most beautiful being in the world.
Shen Zhiyi always remembered the Queen holding her in her arms and telling her stories outside the palace walls.
Walking among mountains and rivers, galloping in desert grasslands. The customs of Jiangnan are mysterious and romantic, the ancient Tibetan areas are buried with myths, and the people in central Sichuan love spicy food...
The queen said she longed for the places in the book, and she married into the palace before going out to see them.
Emperor Jing lowered his eyes. He had been escaping for so long that he thought he was about to forget it, but he never thought that the memory would always exist. When a certain point is opened, those memories can no longer be blocked.
It's been a long time... I haven't seen Yuan'er and Yu'er.
The queen is kind-hearted and tortures a weak woman like this. I'm afraid she will blame me when she sees it.
"That's all, I'll punish you to go to Jiyun Temple to copy scriptures and pray for the late empress for one year."
Shen Qinghe was pushed to Jiyun Temple by Jin Yiwei in front of everyone's attention. In less than half a day, these things about her would be spread throughout the streets and alleys, and her saliva would drown her.
During these days, Shen Xuan and Shen Qinghe were both famous people in the capital.
Shen Xuan was so angry that he lay on the bed, dropped the medicine bowl on the floor, and scolded all the maids and servants who delivered the medicine. The servants all knelt down in a row, trembling and afraid to pry.
He casually smashed something next to the bed.
"You bitches, are you here to see my joke? Get out!"
"Told you to get out! Can't you hear me?"
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Shen Xuan was about to pack up when he looked up and saw that the person coming was his eldest brother.
"Brother, why are you here?"
"I'm here to care about you."
Shen Hezhi applied medicine to his wounds and asked the servants to leave first, "These wounds will become infected if they are not applied with medicine. It will hurt a little while I apply medicine to you, so please bear with it."
After suffering such an insult, Shen Xuan wished he could go to Jiang Yubai to settle the score, but Shen He rejected him.
Can you beat others?
"If I can't beat him, I can't beat that loser Shen Zhiyi. He doesn't even say a word of mercy to Jiang Yubai. He's even so cruel to his own sister."
Shen He's hand in applying the medicine suddenly stopped, and his mind was reviewing today's events.
When did Shen Zhiyi get so close to Governor Jiang? Although Governor Jiang would not be surprised if a treacherous minister did anything outrageous, today he was obviously protecting Shen Zhiyi.
"Yes, sister Yi'er has been a bit unreasonable recently. Let me persuade her to make amends to you."
I am her closest cousin and she always listens to herself.
The most important thing is that Shen Zhiyi is now on good terms with Jiang Yubai. If he can have a good relationship with him, his career...
"She, Shen Zhiyi, dares to do this to sister Qinghe in the temple. He might bully her in the house."
I don't know what kind of hard life Shen Qinghe lived in the house. Shen Zhiyi, that poisonous woman, deserves to be struck by lightning.
Aju——
Shen Zhiyi opened the secret compartment of the dressing table. The two compartments were filled with banknotes. She was calculating her property. The house was not short of money, but she was short of money.
Shen Qinghe's stolen money was evidence of crime and she couldn't touch it.
In the past, Shen Qinghe's credit was all paid by her. The money she paid to Boss Song some time ago has long been spent, and she still owes Jiang Yubai such a large amount of money and favors.
I'm afraid it will be difficult to pay off for a while.
His father moved nearly half of His Majesty's reward into his grandmother's house, which made Shen Zhiyi's head hurt. Although the Shen family had great achievements, they were honest officials, and their annual salary was only enough to manage the servants in the house.
Taking advantage of the quiet days when Shen Qinghe was not in the house, she could finally relax a little.
She deliberately distracted Xi'er, sneaked into her room, and collected jewelry and money that she shouldn't have, as well as a pile of scrap manuscripts.
Even these years I have been deliberately imitating her handwriting.
When exactly did such a treacherous villain appear next to her, and she didn't notice it at all.
Or maybe she has always been Xie Shaoheng's spy.
Shen Zhiyi has a murderous intention and wants to harm me. It depends on whether you have this fate or not.
Fu Ling found a men's suit for her that fit her size, which her mother made every year based on her imagination as she missed her distant brother. Unfortunately, it didn't fit before she could put it on.
"Miss, the Shen Mansion has been stared at by many pairs of eyes recently. It's better not to cause trouble." Fuling was worried that the young lady would do something outrageous again, so she held the young lady's hand to prevent her from leaving.
Shen Zhiyi held her arm, "Here's this for you, be sure to keep it. Don't worry, I won't cause trouble."
Fu Ling looked at her renunciation contract in her hand, thinking that the lady hated her talkativeness and wanted to drive her away, "Please don't drive me away, Fuling is sincere to the lady."
Kneeling in front of Shen Zhiyi, "I am homeless, please don't drive me away."
She looked frightened and could hear obvious sobbing between her words, "Please Miss... have mercy on me."
How could Shen Zhiyi be willing to drive Poria away?
"Get up quickly," wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "I'm not giving you the deed to drive you away, I'm giving you your own possessions back in your hands."
If you can't protect her, at least don't be implicated.
"No, I don't want to leave. I want to follow the lady all my life." He stopped crying and pushed the contract to be handed over to the lady.
Shen Zhiyi was afraid that she would have to cry for three days and three nights if she didn't accept it, so she put Xi'er's deed of prostitution in her pocket, dressed as a man and sneaked out of the house.
It is getting late, and the shops on the street are closing one after another. Only brothels and casinos light up the streets at night.
Shen Zhiyi didn't want to be too showy and walked all the way on foot, but she overestimated her physical strength and was already out of breath only halfway through.
This body... When she goes back, she will definitely find her brother to practice martial arts.
Finally, she walked to the entrance of Wanshengtang, which was indeed the largest casino. The gambling prostitutes who greeted guests at the entrance were all very beautiful, with a strong smell of makeup on their faces, but they were rare beauties.
On the surface, Wanshengtang is a casino, but in fact it is the largest black market exchange in Beijing. It can not only smuggle all kinds of rare treasures, but also inquire about all the news in the world.
As long as you have money.
Shen Zhiyi touched the few banknotes in his pocket and lamented that money can make people go around. This sentence can be used everywhere.
The people here have a sharp eye. Seeing that Shen Zhiyi is wearing expensive clothes, they judge that he is a young man from a wealthy family and invite him in. Watching people order food is the basic skill of these gambling prostitutes.
Seeing that Young Master Shen was a little shy, he removed the woman who was sitting on her lap and wanted to have sex with her. Shen Zhiyi pretended to be calm. This was not a brothel but a brothel.
At night, oil lamps are lit in the room, and the lights and shadows are intertwined with voices shouting about winning or losing. Those who win are chasing after the victory and feel blessed by the gods. Those who lose are unwilling to give in. Both sides refuse to leave, one game after another.
In the military camp, I often heard the soldiers in Beijing mention Wanshengtang. In addition to studying the art of war, he had plenty of time in the military camp. General Pei once taught her the art of gambling.
When she first arrived at the military camp, everyone looked down upon her because she was a woman and she was not good at martial arts. Everyone thought she was a lunatic and would have to die if she didn't stay in the capital.
At that time, only Pei Shang was willing to talk to her. He didn't care whether he was a man or a woman, as long as he could gamble, drink and eat meat, he was a brother. She lost all her money and coins.
Even the gadgets I brought were completely lost.
General Pei was a bandit. Although he was later recruited, he still could not change his bandit spirit. He was a better gambler than anyone else. The brothers who once bet with him were afraid of gambling.
The supplies at the frontier were scarce, and the soldiers did not know how to gamble. At most, they only had some steamed buns and steamed buns, and then they had to wash dishes and clothes if they lost. In addition, the border was difficult and there was almost no entertainment, so Shen Zhiyi didn't care much about it. .
Pai Gow, chess, grass fighting, cock fighting...
Even Go?
She still underestimated this group of gamblers, and she really didn't expect that Go could also enter the gambling house.
"Boy, get out of my way." Shen Zhiyi, who had a bloated figure and was dressed in gold and silver. He was either rich or noble, and stood in front of her.
This man is King Wanning, a distinguished guest of Wansheng Hall. Everyone couldn't help but look over, "There is another person who has offended King Wanning without hesitation."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's miserable."
King Wan Ning grabbed Shen Zhiyi's collar and said, "Do you know who I am? Just dare to stand in front of me."
Shen Zhiyi agreed repeatedly. She had suffered a lot in the palace before. She knew what this man liked and she coaxed and deceived him for a while before she stabilized him.
"Which one do you like to play? You can choose it yourself. I will watch first. If you have the ability, I will reluctantly make a bet with you."
Shen Zhiyi stood in front of these various gambling methods and it was the easiest to bet on big or small. People who didn't know how to do it could still win 20% by relying on luck.
Someone laughed and said: "Look, you are also a young man from a wealthy family. It's your first time coming to a gambling house. If you don't know how to play, just go in. We don't need a pretty boy here, hahahahaha——"
Most of the people who come to Wanshengtang are old gamblers. Some of them are lucky enough to gamble several times in Wanshengtang with just a few taels of silver. But they are greedy, and in the end they lose even their wives, children, and children, and they themselves are short of arms. leg.
Half of the handymen and gambling prostitutes here come from this way.
"It's okay, let's experience it."
Snapped--
Hearing this, King Wan Ning sat aside and clapped his hands. Today was a bit boring, so he could just come and see some jokes to relieve his boredom.
He even thought about Shen Zhiyi crying at the end and kneeling at his feet begging him to let her go.
Just thinking about that embarrassed look makes me laugh out loud.
The dice were put into the bowl, turned upside down, and their eyes followed the dealer's hand controlling the rotation. Everyone's hearts were in their throats, and the quiet alley seemed particularly noisy.
Everyone's eyes widened, they shouted loudly, and their faces turned red. The man in front of her put his hand on the gaming table excitedly, his eyes bloodshot, as if he was about to roll the dice to reveal an answer.
"Big," Shen Zhiyi said.
open--
As soon as the dealer let go, the dice began to spin in the bowl. Everyone's eyes were widened and they stared at it.
Amid all the shouting, the dice finally stopped and revealed one side. There were two sixes and one five in the bowl, which were indeed big.
"Boy, you are very lucky. I advise you to stop when you are good."
The old gambler has seen too many tragedies. Seeing his handsome face, he must have been back to Wanshengtang for the first time and gave him some good words.
"Come again."
