Chapter 48 The Marquis and the Marquise

When the spies reported that the marquis's carriage was about to arrive at the gate of the city, the sun was almost westward.

The eight guards were mournful and did not dare to complain, but they had already scolded the late Marquis countless times in their hearts, because they hid a fixed amount of monthly silver every month, and in this short afternoon, He lost all the pitifully small personal money he had accumulated over half a year to Brother Yacintos who kept saying he was playing cards for the first time!

Because they are the bodyguards of the city lord, they are treated well, have high status, and are very popular with women, so these eight bodyguards all got married early, and all their monthly wages are handed over to their wives and adults who are in charge of the family. They are all the same, after their wives reconciled their accounts, they were all deceived. They all thought they had all the money of their husbands, so they were very satisfied with such a loyal and family-friendly husband, and occasionally bought them for them when they went shopping together. Clothes, adding vegetables and so on, each other is very happy.

However, when Brother Hyacinthus said that it was difficult to pass the long afternoon, the eight guards changed their minds. They could clearly remember the feats of Brother Hyacinthus squandering money in the past. Character, I am really sorry for the servant of this day if I didn't kill it well, so I proposed to play cards.

There is a big name for this kind of card game, called "Che Da Pao". It is mainly based on deceiving people. The first player who has no cards in his hand will win, and the other three players will pay the winner according to the number of cards in their hands. , the rules are also very simple, and the statement is as follows: in a four-player game, the owner will play one to four cards at will, and cover them. They can lie and say that it is a "nine", or they can truthfully report that it is a "five". Believe the words of the owner, go to the card, the card does not need to be turned over, and it cannot be moved. It is considered a dead card, and the owner continues to play cards; The cards are all considered dead cards, and it is the turn of the player who raises the cards to play the cards; if someone does not believe the cards below, they can turn over the cards, and the cards turned out are true. The owner takes the cards, and it is the turn of the flop player to be the host until any one of them clears the cards in their hands first.

The eight guards thought they were in luck, and they all rushed to play first, but they were all fooled by Brother Hyacinthus, who laughed harmlessly to humans and animals. Brother Hyacinthus has almost never changed the position of the owner. When he played the truth, they flopped the card. When he lied, they raised or discarded the card. Brother Hyacinthus cleared the cards first in every round. The cards in his hand killed the Quartet in every round, so in one afternoon, not only did he collect all the private money that the eight guards had hidden for nearly half a year, even the Marquis who rushed over to join the battle later could hardly After escaping, all the money she brought out was lost!

This is not an exaggeration. The Marquise had gone shopping before and bought a lot of jade jewelry bracelets. These very expensive accessories were also lost to Brother Jacintos.

The Marquise originally had a playful attitude, and regretted that she spent too much time shopping. If she had known that Brother Jacintos was coming, she would not have gone shopping. It was enough to be with him early!

But as she was playing, the Marquis became obsessed. The more she played, the more she lost, the more jealous she became, and the more jealous she lost. If the maids didn't stop her, the Marquis would definitely take off this luxurious dress and take it with her. here to bet...

After all, the Marquise did not completely lose her mind and took off her dress to make a bet, but her son was not so lucky. Seeing that his mother had lost miserably, the little lord wanted to persuade her to stop playing, but he was offended The Marquise, envious of losing, used her son as a bet, and wanted to mortgage the number of the deck of cards in her hand.

In this round, she had eighteen cards in her hand.

The price of eighteen cards, if converted back to the common currency of Moore, is only 18 yuan. The little nephew of the city lord of the majestic metropolis, the son of the Marquis of Mobin Kingdom, will be the little lord who will inherit his father's position as Marquis in the future, so that's it. At the price of 18 yuan, his mother who lost the bet was sold to Brother Hyacinthus...

The little lord was flustered in the wind, with tears in his eyes, the tears hanging on his eyebrows and lashes, he was about to cry out because of his grievance, but he stubbornly pursed his lips, trying to hold back.

Brother Yacinthos, who won a lot of money, patted his little head amiably, his beautiful eyes bent into crescent moons, and said with a smile: "The little lord is a little man, no You can cry, if you cry, I will send you to little Baisha as a follower..."

The little lord's thin body trembled slightly, Brother Hyacinthus's hand touching his hair was so gentle, and his smile was so beautiful, but no matter how he said it, it gave him an evil and joking feeling for no reason Woolen cloth?

Brother Hyacinthus, who had won a lot, was in a good mood, and generously returned all the money he had won to the eight guards and the Marquise, only detaining the Marquise's jewelry and her son.

The eight guards were pleasantly surprised, and each took back their private money. They also took back all the words they had cursed Brother Hyacinthus just now, and replaced them with good words of praise. He scolded himself severely.

The Marquise happily took back the lost coins. She was willing to be detained by Brother Hyacinthus for the newly bought jewelry. Perhaps everyone will not know that there is an unknown dream hidden in every woman's heart. I think that if my things are treasured by some man, then that man must be deeply in love with this woman!

Even if Brother Hyacinthus wanted to take all her belongings, the Marquis would only wishfully believe that Brother Hyacinthus took away so many things that belonged to her because he loved her so deeply.

What the Marquis could never have imagined was that the reason why Brother Hyacinthus withheld these gold and silver jewelry was to keep them as a dowry for little Baisha...

When the Marquis of Orlando straddled his horse with the majestic guard of honor, what he saw was that among the people who came to greet him, all the guards showed joyful expressions on their faces, except for a small child with a sad and sad expression , with a weeping look.

Although it was only a few years before they met, the Marquis of Orlando recognized at a glance that it was his son, and a trace of anger grew in his heart. When his son saw Lao Tzu, he actually put on such a painful expression. The Marquis of Orlando is not a big-hearted man. People, of course there is a grudge in my heart.

"Master Marquis..." Brother Hyacinthus smiled and stepped forward to salute gracefully.

The Marquis of Orlando got off his horse, just glanced at him, huffed haughtily, and searched around, but didn't see a distinguished person present, his face sank, and his dark eyes slowly moved to The face of the Marchioness.

"Marquis..." the Marchioness called him uncomfortably.

The little lord shouted nervously, "Father!"

"Well," the Marquis replied, but fixed his eyes on the Marquise, and asked, "Where's the city lord?"

Brother Jacintos hurriedly stood up straight and said, "Here it is!"

Not only the Lord Marquis, but everyone present looked around and searched for the city lord's trace, but everywhere was full of hot scenes, where was the icy cold atmosphere of the city lord's arrival?

"Is my brother here? Where is he?" The Marquise asked subconsciously, not seeing her brother.

"Uh..." Brother Hyacinthus blinked, pondered for a moment, and smiled helplessly, "It seems that I misread."

"Misunderstood?" The Marquis of Orlando seemed to be ignited by him, and said coldly, "Aren't you the dog slave that the city lord keeps by his side only to please the city lord? With such good eyesight, there will be mistakes when?"

The Marquis' words were full of disdain and anger, and he maliciously regarded Brother Hyacinthus as the object of the city lord's favor.

The faces of the people present were terrified, and they all stopped smiling, and looked at Brother Hyacinthus cautiously.

It's true that Brother Hyacinthus is very prosperous in the metropolis, and he has a very close relationship with the city lord. Everyone respects him and tolerates him. My lord will make up for him in the back, and Brother Jacintos can feel at ease, and he won't be merciful at all when he defeated the Lord's treasury...

But in the final analysis, isn't it caused by the city lord's blind indulgence, blind favor, and blind favoritism?

But to everyone, Brother Hyacinthus is still so gentle, he is generous to everyone, shares everything he buys, and returns all the money he wins. When the city lord lectured, held them accountable, and even punished them, Brother Jacintos did not speak for them, begging for favor?

Almost all the guards, maids, marquises, little lords, and attendants whose names and faces could not be remembered clearly had received small favors from Brother Hyacinthus, so what the Marquis said immediately aroused Anger in their chests.

"Father! Monks are not like that!" The little lord defended Friar Hyacinthus angrily.

Brother Hyacinthus was relieved for a while, and he paid 18 yuan to buy the little lord's deed of sale.

"Orlandore!" The Marquise was less polite, and cursed angrily, "Pull up your damned arrogance! No matter what you hear, it must be someone else's intention to sow discord, you just stay there without thinking It's all right in Regang, what are you doing to embarrass yourself in the metropolis!"

"You, you..." The Marquis of Orlando was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while, his face was flushed, and there were two raging fires in his eyes. He took two deep breaths before he evened out his breath, and said angrily, "You are so blind Ji's woman, I tell you, Chris, I want to divorce you! I want to divorce you!"

"What! Hasn't the decree of His Majesty the King's permission to divorce us that I asked for instructions been issued yet?" The Marquis was also furious. She was the one who proposed the divorce first, but he is taking the lead here instead!Immediately, the volume was raised a few degrees, "Orlando, I was the one who didn't want you first, I was the one who divorced you first! Don't think you are so great!"

Lord Marquis was taken aback. He did not expect that this wife would send the divorce request to the king before him. He traveled from the imperial capital Regang to the metropolis, traveling in mountains and rivers all the way, and he may have missed the king's decree. Maybe!

Lord Marquis thought that being divorced by this useless wife of a vase was the greatest humiliation in his life, so he pulled out his dagger and shouted with tears in his eyes: "You stupid woman, you dare to bring great shame to our Orlando family, I ...I want to..." He swung the dagger, although he was furious, he didn't dare to assassinate his wife in public, he just wanted to knock off her colorful gauze hat, mess up her temples, and let her Shouting in panic and embarrassingly, he gave her a good lesson as a warning.

As a result, the Marquis screamed, but before the Marquis's dagger was drawn, someone grabbed his wrist firmly, with a strange force. Regangli is also a powerful and powerful nobleman, Lord Hou, who can't shake the other party in the slightest!

And this person turned out to be Brother Yacinthos whom he had always looked down upon!

"Lord Marquis, what is it that deserves your anger?" Brother Yacintos asked coolly.

"Father, mother! Don't quarrel!" After the little lord came back to his senses, tears couldn't stop falling down, but when he thought of the truth that "a man should not cry" that Brother Hyacinthus had told him many times, he suppressed his grief , Hastily wiped away the tears, hurriedly arrived between the parents, trying to prevent the breakup of the parents with a small body.

"You...you..." The Marquis was startled and angry, and he turned to his followers and shouted, "You idiot! You still haven't come up to help!"

The group of guards who had traveled long distances behind him did not expect the situation to evolve like this, and everyone looked at each other. With this hesitation, the eight guards who protected Brother Hyacinthus took the lead in pulling out their bright weapons and put their blades on the attacking edge. on the neck of the Marquis of Orlando.

The group of guards who had lost the opportunity were all wary, and were at a loss for a while.

The Marquise, who slowly calmed down from her panic, rushed straight to her head with anger. She slapped the Marquis hard. The loud slap silenced the surrounding area, only to hear her yelling hysterically: "Orlando! ! You want to kill me! My brother will never let you go!"

In Mobin Kingdom, killing a person is a capital crime, and killing a close relative is a serious crime that affects the family!

No matter how stupid the Marquis of Orlando was, he could not afford to be charged with killing his wife. Hearing this, he scolded angrily: "You stupid woman, we will settle the bill later! Do you think I am afraid of your brother? Humph! Your Highness the First Prince! I'm coming here soon, and when the time comes, I'll see if your brother can still be the city lord of this metropolis!"

The marquise's arrogance was half gone, and she was angry again, but she knew that her husband had a good relationship with the eldest prince of Mobin country, and he was a comrade in arms who fought together and lived together. No matter what, the eldest prince would definitely On the side of her husband, although her elder brother is the city lord of the metropolis, is it the land of the king in the whole world, is it the subject of the king on the shore of the land, her elder brother is only an official under the command of the king of Mobin Kingdom... …
