Space takes me to ancient times

Chapter 180 Issuing Lottery Tickets
Back at Prince Rui's Mansion, Qu You wandered around in front of Zhou Li'er from time to time, but every time she saw her innocent big eyes, she felt guilty and swallowed back the words she was about to say.

Prince Rui's Mansion, Dongkuanyuan

Zhou Li'er tended the flowers and plants gently, Qu You's frizzy heart could not help but be calmed down by that delicate and careful look. She sat in front of the stone table, drinking tea while chasing Zhou Li'er's figure with tangled eyes.

"Xiao You, what's the matter?" Zhou Li'er looked at Qu You suspiciously.

"It's okay, sister-in-law, you can be busy."

"But, I always feel like you are looking for me for something." Zhou Li'er put down the watering pot, walked to the stone table, and sat down slowly while supporting her waist.

Qu You opened her mouth and sighed softly, "Sister-in-law, I've thought about something important for a long time, and I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" Damn Zhou Jinfeng, he couldn't help himself.

Zhou Li'er stroked her belly and smiled softly, "Aside from my father, you are my closest relatives, so what should I say or not?"

Qu You breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at Huanshan, and motioned her to stand beside Zhou Lier, in case she couldn't accept what happened.

"Actually..." Qu You gritted his teeth and continued, "Actually, you still have an older brother living in this world."

Elder brother - Zhou Li'er blinked in confusion, her delicate phoenix eyes were full of doubts.

"Your brother is Prince Feng of the Bai Kingdom, named Zhou Jinfeng. Some time ago, he came over to the Chu Kingdom in disguise and wanted to see you. I don't know if you want to see him?" After finishing speaking, Qu You glanced at Li'er next week, I want to know her reaction.

"But—" Zhou Li'er bit her lip and frowned.But these years, my father never mentioned my brother.

"Sister-in-law, do you want to see me?"

Zhou Lier shook her head, "I don't know."

Uh, how come you don't know.Qu You froze in astonishment, never expecting Zhou Li'er to say such an answer.

"I fled with my father for more than ten years, and I never heard him mention my brother."

Oh, so that's the case, Qu You nodded knowingly.However, they really look alike, it doesn't really make sense that they are not biological siblings.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll send someone back to Qinghe Village to pick up Mr. Li, then we will know the truth." Qu You patted Zhou Li'er's hand reassuringly, in case she would get angry if she got nervous.

The corners of Zhou Li'er's mouth slightly lifted, and he returned Qu You's sunny smile, "The Bai Kingdom is busy with things, and I think Prince Feng will not stay for long."

"Seven days." Qu You looked up at Zhou Li'er.

"Seven days, I don't know if this time can come quickly." The urgency revealed in the words, even I didn't realize it.

"Prince Feng is now staying in the golden and jade mansion of our Qu family, and my sister-in-law can see you anytime." Qu You smiled.

"No rush." ​​After finishing speaking, she stood up with Huanshan's hand, and slowly walked into the room.

Qu You looked at Zhou Li'er's elongated shadow under the shade of the tree, and suddenly became irritable.Seeing my sister seeing my sister, my sister-in-law didn't even know there was such a character.

"Miss, what should we do now?" Dai Rou sighed melancholy.

"What to do, what else to do—"

Qu You was lying on the stone table, beating the table crazily, and wailing pretentiously on his back.

That night, when Chu Yu went out to return home, Qu You went into the study and muttered with him for most of the night.In the end, I decided to write a letter and bring it back to Qinghe Village from Lingbei to explain the situation, and by the way, bring Mr. Li to Luoning.

Hey - talents are cultivated for others.

After explaining the relevant matters, Qu You washed her face and lay down.That night, I had many dreams. I dreamed that I got married with Chu Yu, went to the battlefield, gave birth to a bun, and was forced to separate in the end.

"Girl, did you have a nightmare?" Chu Yu gently wiped Qu You's cheek.What is this dream that can make a happy and carefree girl shed such sad tears.

"En." Qu You choked up unconsciously.

"Don't be afraid, everything depends on me." Chu Yu took Qu You's head distressedly, and slowly pressed himself down.

In the dream, Qu You seemed to see a fire, and she ran along with the fire until she was exhausted.Struggling with all her strength, she finally woke up from the dream.

"Chu Yu?" Why is he here, Qu You blinked in confusion.

Chu Yu rolled his eyes, "You're having a nightmare."

Eh - Qu You raised an eyebrow.

"It's cool at night, I'm afraid you'll get a cold." After speaking, Chu Yu pulled up the thin quilt.

Oh, what a touching sentence, I said it with tears streaming down my face.Qu You looked at Chu Yu amusedly, not understanding how he could say such shameless words against that handsome face.

"I'm going to bed." Qu You shrugged and grabbed the thin quilt from Chu Yu's hand.

"Okay, I'll blow the lamp." Her tone was natural and casual, without a trace of redness on her face.

Brother, I didn't say to sleep with you, what kind of lamp are you blowing on?Qu You angrily pulled over the thin quilt, and simply turned around not to look at him.

Chu Yu hooked his lips into a smile, his dark and deep icy eyes looked enchanting and evil against the backdrop of the red candles at night.

After a good night's dream, the next day, after Qu You finished washing, she pushed open the door refreshed.

"Princess." Zhuang Yu stood outside the door with disheveled clothes.

"You, you are—" Qu You was taken aback, where did this homeless man come from, and how did he get into the palace.

"Subordinate Zhuang Yu." Zhuang Yu grinned, his hair black and messy, a row of neat teeth clearly visible.

Whoops, it's really good material for advertising.Looking at Zhuang Yu's white sesame teeth, Qu You thought of the advertisement, "Good teeth, good appetite, good health, delicious food." '

"How did you do it like this?" It was just like someone coming out of a stove pit, it was pitch black, and you couldn't see your teeth.

"The subordinate has successfully developed it."

What has been successfully developed?Qu You glanced at Zhuang Yu suspiciously, then turned back to the house.

"Fragrance paper—" Zhuang Yu danced excitedly, and the paper as thin as a cicada's wing was thrown with a crackling sound.

"Don't move." Qu You shouted.

Zhuang Yu froze for a moment, restrained his smile and froze in place.

Qu You took the opportunity to remove the paper from his hand, and quietly observed through the window lattice.Yes, it is this kind of paper, light in texture, white and translucent, with a faint fragrance of grass and leaves.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Zhuang Yu smiled "hehe", "It's not hard work, it's my honor to be able to work for the princess."

This is really not modest. From the development of movable type printing and paper, he learned a lot of things that he hadn't touched before.It is only now that I know what is meant by 'There are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky'.Zhuang Yu looked at Qu You with admiration, and couldn't hide the excitement that surged from his heart.

"Mr. Zhuang, this is a silver bill of 500 taels. Although the money is not much, it is a little of my heart. Please accept it." Qu You put the silver bill on the table and gently pushed it over.

Zhuang Yu was startled, and looked at Qu You in disbelief, "What does the princess mean?"

Qu You smiled reassuringly, and motioned Zhuang Yu to sit down and talk, "This is a reward—" After speaking, she looked at Zhuang Yu encouragingly.

Zhuang Yu pondered for a while, then slowly accepted the bank note.

"Princess, this servant wants to be by your side."

Whoops - the title will change soon.Qu You raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhuang Yu with a smile in his eyes, "A gentleman does not take what others like."

Zhuang Yu glanced at Qu You, lowered his eyes, and fell silent.

"You are Prince Rui's retainer, how can I get in and miss your future."

"Don't delay, don't delay, I will follow the princess voluntarily, and I will never regret it." Zhuang Yu raised his head in surprise, expressing his joy incoherently.

"In this case, you will follow the concubine." Before Qu You could speak, Chu Yu stepped in.

Zhuang Yu got up quickly and knelt at Chu Yu's feet trembling. "My lord, this subordinate has absolutely no intention of betrayal, this subordinate—"

Chu Yu raised his hand and interrupted his words, "You are just my doorman, why do you say you betrayed me." After saying that, Zhuang Yu's eyes gloomy.

Yes, he is just a retainer, not even a servant of Prince Rui's residence.Zhuang Yu fell to the ground, lost in thought.

"Sign the deed of sale to the concubine, from now on, you will be hers..." Chu Yu seemed to have been prepared for a long time, turned his palm back, took a piece of contract from Feng Xian beside him, and placed it gently on the in front of Zhuang Yu.

His Royal Highness Prince Rui of the Great Chu Kingdom really lived up to his reputation.Zhuang Yu looked at the deed of sale, raised his head and smiled 'haha', "Princess, I have sold myself to the Qu family today, and I will eat and drink with you from now on." After speaking, his big hand was stained with a red seal, and he pressed it on the deed of sale without hesitation. superior.

Qu You nodded with a smile, took the bright red deed of prostitution, folded it and put it in his arms.

After the development of movable type printing and condensed incense paper, the issuance of lottery tickets was put on the journey in full swing.

"His Royal Highness, did the emperor agree?" Qu You hurriedly rushed into the 'Linjiang Immortal'.

Chu Xu drank his tea calmly, as if he didn't hear Qu You's call.

"Speak." Qu You patted the table vigorously.

"I agree, but..." Chu Xu pondered.

"But what?" Qu You scratched her heart and anxiously, Nima, it's so frustrating to say something, it's really a white face.

"However, the emperor wants three cents of the lottery interest." Chu Xu put down his cup and looked up at Qu You.

The emperor will ask for a three-point profit, so it won't be this guy who is the lion himself.Qu You looked at Chu Xu suspiciously, making his heart shudder.

"Ahem——" Chu Xu cleared his throat, "Three-point profit is not much, let's just spend money to buy peace of mind."

Is that so? The more Qu You watched, the more suspicious Chu Xu became, so he turned around and asked Chu Yu: "Brother Yu, the emperor really said that?"

Chu Yu thought for a moment, then nodded involuntarily, "The tree attracts the wind, and you can avoid disaster if you lose money."

"Okay, then it's time to spend money to eliminate disasters." Qu You gritted his teeth, bleeding from the pain.

The three discussed it, and the lottery matter was settled.

The place where the lottery tickets are sold is located at the Four Seas Casino. Firstly, the geographical location is superior, and secondly, there are many gamblers and it is easy to open up the market.The day before the release, the movable type engraving plate and incense paper were all in place, and after the ink was also shipped, Qu You selected a few clever young men from the Jinyi Pavilion, and after a systematic training, they officially started working with certificates.

"His Royal Highness, tomorrow will send some people from the mansion to guard around the gambling house, in case someone intentionally causes trouble."

Chu Xu nodded, with a solemn face, "Don't worry, who dares to block this king's way of making money. From now on, this king will let him be unable to walk even if he is here." The coldness in the words made Qu You's whole body tremble. trembling.

These days, she seems to have gotten used to Yan Wang's hip-hop style, like a ruffian.Now, Chu Xu, who showed the majesty of the royal family, made her feel like keeping a respectful distance.

"Why, are you scared?" Chu Xu sneered. "The royal family is ruthless, and kindness is sometimes a kind of weakness."

Qu You nodded ignorantly, turned and walked out.

Everyone prepared for a whole day at the Four Seas Casino, until dusk at dusk, when the sun went down, and then they returned to the lair tired.Qu You was so sleepy that he yawned again and again.Back at the palace, he casually took a bite of food, then undressed and lay down.

The next day, as soon as Chen Shi arrived, the sound of gongs and drums sounded on Chaoyang Street.

"Come, come, come, don't miss it when you pass by. The latest development of Sihai Casino, lottery betting, re-examination, single-choice, getting rich overnight is not a dream." Lingquan stood at the door of the gambling house, knocking on the gong, while internally It's advertised open.

Lottery betting?Another gambling thing.Some people shook their heads and walked over uninterested.

"New way of lottery, every three pennies, you say the number yourself, draw every three days, the special prize is 300 taels of silver—" After shouting, Lingquan stopped to observe quietly.

What?300 taels of silver for the special prize?Slowly, curious people approached the gambling house.

"Brother, you said the special prize is 300 taels of silver?" A thin old man with his sleeves folded leaned over.

Lingquan smiled and nodded, "Yes, as long as you spend three pennies to buy a lottery ticket, you may win the prize. The special prize pattern is 300 taels of silver, the first prize pattern is 100 taels of silver, the second prize pattern is 50 taels of silver, and the third prize pattern is five taels of silver , the last prize is five hundred copper coins."

Huh - there is such a good thing.The crowd was boiling, and everyone rushed forward, and the crazy posture almost pushed Lingquan to the ground.

"Everyone be quiet, be quiet." Lingquan looked at Qu You from a distance, his throat was filled with smoke.

"Quiet——" Lingyi raised his inner strength and roared, and the out-of-control scene completely fell silent.

"There are corresponding numbers on the wall. We have professional staff who will explain them to you. Later, take the money and go to the right side of the casino, tell the staff the number you like and mimeograph it." Lingquan patiently explained, "After paying the money, everyone will get a piece of paper that is as big as this. The paper in your hand will be drawn here in three days."

"Who knows if this paper is real or not? If we win the lottery in three days, and you say that the lottery ticket is fake, wouldn't we be at a disadvantage?" In the crowd, a strong man with a big knife in his arms raised his eyebrows and said.

Lingquan was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "This kind of paper is exclusive to our Qu family, and no one can imitate it. I advise those who want to counterfeit lottery tickets not to break the law. You must know that lottery tickets are issued by the state and are controlled by the state. protected."

The big man snorted coldly, and reluctantly paid for a bet.

"Three days later, we will meet here." Lingquan waved his hand, stirring up the surrounding atmosphere again.
