Quick mission: We don't make trouble

Outside the carriage, Yang Jiu was driving the car while pricking up his ears to listen carefully to the conversation between the three people inside.

At the beginning, he could still understand clearly, but when he heard some inexplicable words such as "Dou Dizhu", "Three with One", and "Bomb", he was at a loss.

However, later when he heard the little girl shouting loudly: "Give me money...Haha, I won again..."

It suddenly dawned on me that these people were just playing with money!

However, he didn't know what specific gameplay they were using?

Yang Jiu himself had never participated in gambling, as his second brother Yang kept a close eye on them. But he had witnessed others playing games like dice, mahjong, and even mahjong, a game favored by the ladies of the inner court.

It seems that the three people inside are not playing these games. Maybe it’s just their Western way of playing.

In the carriage, Wu Di's face flushed with excitement.

Her luck was extremely good today. She won big whether she was the local landlord or playing Landlord with others.

In just a short while, the money in Zhu Dad and Yu Bo's pockets flowed into her pocket continuously.

Yu Bo looked unconvinced: "I just don't believe you will win today, come again and again..."

As he said this, he carefully put the cards he had just shuffled back into place again.

Wu Di looked at them smugly: "Uncle, no matter how hard you try, the good cards will still come to me."

Although Mr. Zhu lost money, he still said stubbornly: "Don't be complacent. It's not the final check yet. What you won now is just a number. We still have a chance to turn things around."

Wu Di chuckled: "Allowing you to owe money is giving you a chance. I'm not afraid."

Father Zhu turned to Bo and said, "Come on, come on. Xiaoyu, you have to work hard too."

As these words were spoken, a new round of Landlords began again.

Wu Di then swept away Zhu Dad and Yu Bo like a whirlwind. Not only did they lose the few dozen taels of silver they had, but one now owed ten taels and the other fifteen!

Father Zhu said bitterly, "No, my luck is really bad today. I won't come..."

Wu Di, however, smiled smugly and said, "Are you really not coming? Then you won't have a chance to turn things around. Don't accuse me of being disrespectful to the elderly."

Yu Bo was unwilling to accept this and said through gritted teeth, "No, I have to find someone to replace me and dampen your enthusiasm!"

Wu Di laughed heartily and replied nonchalantly, "Okay, you can hire anyone as our foreign aid. I don't care. I'll only win more when the time comes!"

Yu Bo lifted the carriage curtain, peered out, and asked Yang Jiu if he had seen Dong Ge. Yang Jiu immediately blew a loud whistle and shouted forward, "Court Guard Wang, please come over here."

After hearing this, Yang Wu passed the message to the person sitting in front of him. In this way, the news was passed forward one by one like a relay race. Not long after, Wang Xiangdong, who was walking at the front of the team, learned the news. He rode over and asked, "Is it the old man who is looking for me?"

Yu Bo waved and said, "Yes, Dong Ge, come up and rest for a while. This is what my uncle specifically asked."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiangdong immediately jumped off his horse.

At this moment they were on a slope, and the carriage was moving slowly, not very fast, so he jumped up easily.

Yu Bo moved aside to make enough space for Wang Xiangdong to sit down. After Wang Xiangdong sat down, he looked up at Zhu's father and asked doubtfully, "Uncle, is there something wrong?"

Father Zhu remained silent, wondering how to start the conversation. He couldn't bring himself to tell the story of how he had lost at Landlord and urgently needed help.

So he turned his gaze to Yu Bo and said, "Let you young people come. I'm going to go out and get some fresh air. I'll also ask if there are any printing workshops in the city, and what kind of entertainment and leisure activities are available."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Zhu stood up and moved out of the car, sitting together with Yang Jiu.

Wang Xiangdong looked at Yu Bo with suspicion, then looked at Wu Di, muttering to himself, wondering what had happened between the two.

Yu Bo's face was full of pain, while Wu Di was holding a paper bag in her hand and smiling like a little hamster. Especially when she saw Wang Xiangdong, her eyes were shining.

Wang Xiangdong suddenly felt a chill running down his spine.

Yu Bo stammered, "Brother, please save us! My uncle and I are no match for Didi, the small landlord. We've been completely oppressed by her. She's even taken all our money, and now we still owe her fifteen taels..."

Wang Xiangdong was surprised and asked, "What? You guys are actually playing Landlord?"

Yu Bo responded, "Yes."

Wang Xiangdong: "Do you have playing cards?"

Wu Di opened the paper package and showed it to him: "Uncle Dong, these are the simple playing cards I drew."

Wang Xiangdong took a look and said, "It is indeed simple, but the painting is quite good."

Wu Di said sweetly: "Thank you for the compliment, Uncle Dong. Do you want to play a few games?"

Wang Xiangdong frowned: "Children should not think about these things..."

Wu Di: "I don't want to either. If I were a boy, I could study hard and take the imperial examination to become an official. But I'm a girl, so I can't pursue a career in government. But I still have to think about how to support my family and make them rich. I'll have to support my grandparents, mother, aunt, uncle Dong and cousins ​​in the future. I'm just testing the waters to raise some start-up capital."

Wang Xiangdong was stunned. He didn't expect Wu Di to think so far.

He wanted to say, you are still young, this is not a problem for you to consider, we adults are here, but then he thought, these adults will also grow old, and the independent little girl doesn’t know what will happen to her in this strange world alone, so she really needs to prepare for the future and at least lay a solid material foundation.

I just felt sorry for Didi, thinking about her future at such a young age. I swallowed my words of lecturing.

Yu Bo, who was standing by, was very touched: "Didi, I thought you were just joking, but it turns out you are serious. I will rely on you from now on."

Wu Di: "Uncle, let's rely on each other. I can't take the imperial examination, but you can. In the future, you will be an official and I will be a businessman. We will work together, no, we will protect each other, and we will definitely create a bright future."

Wu Di painted a blueprint for everyone.

Yu Bo: "Then you should support me. I'm really not cut out for the imperial examinations."

Think about the ancients taking the imperial examination, which was even more difficult than the university entrance exam in later generations. That was the real single-plank bridge, and the intrigues and deceptions in the officialdom...

Just thinking about it gives me chills down my spine.

Uh, forget it.
