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

While the two old men were fighting for their future, they didn't realize that what the mother and daughter were doing outside were causing a small ripple.

The real and fake "Thousand Gold Dollars" play at the small performance was circulated among the wives of officials in just one day. Taking advantage of the light snow, they formed groups to go to the performance. Yuelai Teahouse also took advantage of this trend and changed the small performances that were held every ten days to every three days.

It became popular among the wives of officials in Yanjing for a while, and some smart people successfully associated it with the Lian family.

(Xiao Yining: ??????????)? Who can resist a face-slapping drama based on true events?!

Of course, this is all for later.

The note that Xiaowa thought could help Shi Wanwan out of her urgent need was carefully presented to the emperor by Lord Shi after the morning court session the next day.

Sheng Jingchen glanced at it indifferently, then told him to put it aside and continued to review the memorials.

Shi Tongren stood before the emperor with his head bowed, a thin layer of sweat breaking out on his forehead.

Others may not know this, but as a historian who records the emperor's words and deeds, he knows it very well. The Wanda Bank is the private property of the royal family, and gambling games are held there every time there is a major event.

The royal family’s money can be taken, but it depends on how to take it.

Thinking of this, he quietly raised his eyes again and glanced at the three notes nervously.

Pei Dafu, who was serving in the hall, saw him standing like a wooden stick in front of his master, and glanced sideways at the pledge on the table.

After seeing the words "Lin Yuzan ranked in the top three" clearly, he shook his head with a smile and said reasonably, "Master Shi, you presented this item, but do you want to return the silver you pledged? I will let you know later, and you can take the pledge slip to the Wanda Bank to return it."

As he spoke, the emperor had finished reviewing the memorial in his hand.

He glanced at the pledge again and said jokingly in a calm tone, "I didn't expect Lord Shi's daughter to be so optimistic about Lin Yuzan that she actually bet on him to be in the top three. Lord Shi really should return these three pledges."

Shi Tongren put on a flattering smile and replied truthfully, "Your Majesty, these three tickets were not placed by my daughter. They were given to her by Princess Le'an and two of her classmates."

Sheng Jingchen: ...

The emperor and his servant looked at each other subconsciously, both thinking of the heartbreaking IOU for 200,000 taels.

Shi Tongren wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued to explain, "Yesterday, Censor Liu's daughter and General Chen's granddaughter came to look for my daughter. They said they met Princess Le'an at the Yuelai Teahouse who was attending a banquet, so they went together to place a bet. They wanted to give the winnings to my daughter so that they could share in the fun."

"I only learned about this last night when my eldest daughter gave me this note when I returned home. Princess Le'an and the two young ladies are kind-hearted, but this is too valuable for me to accept."

As he spoke, he quietly raised his eyes again and carefully examined the emperor's expression.

The emperor reached out and picked up the pledge slip. His eyes fell on the words "ten to one" and his brows twitched uncontrollably. He asked in a deep voice, "Princess Le'an only pledged eight taels?"

This question was addressed to Pei Dafu, but Shi Tongren misunderstood and replied first, "Your Majesty, I heard from my daughter that Princess Le'an has no money. This is in exchange for the IOU written to her by 'Chen You'."

Pei Dafu: (?_?), Princess Le'an is really smart, she actually used a dead person's IOU to get her master's money!

When Sheng Jingchen heard this, there was no trace of emotion on his face. He glanced unhappily at his companion who was slow to react.

Pei Dafu noticed his master's gaze and immediately regained his composure. He bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, Master Shao did not mention Princess Le'an's bet. I think yesterday was the first time."

"If this is the first time, how can you be so sure that Lin Yuzan will be among the top three?" The emperor asked, rubbing his eyebrows lightly.

After a moment of silence, the emperor spoke again in a cold tone: "Lord Shi, since your daughter is on good terms with Princess Le'an, during the Winter Solstice Banquet, have your wife bring her into the palace to accompany Princess Le'an for fun."

Upon hearing this, Shi Tongren was surprised and delighted, and hurried to express his gratitude.

Sheng Jingchen waved his hand silently, and three pledge slips of property floated down in front of the dragon case.

Shi Tongren understood immediately and hurriedly picked up the three notes and left. When he reached the outside of the hall, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, carefully put the notes away, and then turned to leave.

Pei Dafu watched this scene from the side, then turned to tell his master about this man's recent situation: "Your Majesty, I heard that after Lord Shi gave his annual salary to General Wang, his family has become much more frugal. Yesterday, Princess Le'an must have heard about it from Lord Liu's daughter, and that's why she wanted to use this method to help the Shi family's daughter."

However, the emperor was not moved at all when he heard this. Instead, he commented with disdain: "Zhizhi is not an unreasonable person. Why doesn't he write an IOU? He is really pedantic."

Pei Dafu: (￣_￣|||), but Wang Ersheng might be unreasonable!

The old eunuch complained speechlessly, and heard his master's question again: "Pei Dafu, do you think Lin Yuzan can enter the top three?"

He quickly responded, "Your Majesty, Jiang Tingsong once said that Lin Yuzan's writing was only average. It would be difficult to get into the top three!"

But the emperor's brows did not relax at these words, and he whispered, "Xuan Hongshao, come into the palace. I have something to ask him in person."

Pei Dafu reacted instantly, and the image of his master writing the IOU with the imperial seal suddenly emerged in his mind. He quickly agreed and ran out of the hall in a hurry.

The hall fell into silence, leaving only the emperor's inexplicable sigh: "Two million taels, where can I put my old face?"

Hayashiya

Little Yining looked at the tiny snowflakes outside the door, sneezed loudly, and immediately perked up and said, "Mom, Dad misses us, let's go out and pick him up!"

Wan Niang reached out and straightened her daughter's collar, then shook her head, rejecting the suggestion. "Qing Jie'er, how could you forget? Your father said that if your second uncle is fine, don't go pick him up. He wants to go look for your second uncle."

The little kid lowered his head helplessly, then asked expectantly, "Mom, can Qingjie go play with Uncle Grandpa?"

Unexpectedly, Wan Niang ruthlessly refuted this statement: "No, didn't your father say that the palace is very dangerous now? When the prince can swagger out of the palace, you can send a letter to the palace and request to enter."

Xiao Yining: ≧ ﹏ ≦, she hasn’t been to Thick Thighs to show her face for a long time, what if there are other little cuties at Thick Thighs!

The little kid grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Sister Qing can't see!"

Wan Niang stretched out her finger, tickled her daughter's chin, and replied with a smile, "If even Qing Jie'er can see the danger, then Mother can only take Qing Jie'er away from Yanjing and return when Yanjing is calm."

Xiao Yining: →_→, this joke is not funny at all. He actually looks down on a little kid like her!

The kid sighed like an adult. It snowed during the holidays and there was no place to play. It was even more boring than last year.

Last year, even though the two old men lay in bed like mummies every day, her mother would still take her and her grandmother out to eat and drink, and she would show off to the old men what delicious food she had eaten every day.

Without any entertainment, Xiao Yining couldn't help but say, "Sister Qing wants to go back to the girls' school. It's so lively there!"

Just at this moment, footsteps were heard outside, and Zhao Ya, who had not been seen for seven days, appeared at the door.

The little girl's eyes suddenly lit up, and she called out joyfully, "Madam Zhao, you're finally back!"

Zhao Ya nodded slightly and bowed respectfully to her young master. Then she said, "Princess, Madam, there is a guest who wants to see you and the princess."

Xiao Yining: (⊙_⊙)? Guest?
