However, when you are with these three women, choosing how to play dominoes is also a headache.
The first thing they played was "Tianjiu" which is very popular among the people.
It requires players to reasonably play the 'Wen cards' and 'Martial cards' in their hands in each round, and make the decision to follow or advance the cards according to the dealer's card type, in order to get the highest score in the final scoring session. .
This will undoubtedly test the player's thinking, memory and psychological gaming abilities.
After playing only two games, Shi Xiaohan felt like his mind couldn't move.
The points on the dominoes seemed to turn into flies flying around, buzzing and making her dizzy.
She grabbed Gu Xu’s arm next to her and asked him in a playful tone if she could change the game.
However, Shi Nuxia never admits that she is stupid.
She would only say: "Gu Xu, you are such a bad guy! On the Wanshou Festival, a national holiday, you are still using something as complicated as 'Tianjiu' to torture everyone's brains!"
She suggested playing "Solitaire" with simple rules instead.
This time, the unhappy person became Shangguan Jin.
With her character, she would not express her dissatisfaction directly.
She would just take advantage of Gu Xu not paying attention, quietly tilt her head, cover her mouth with her hands, and yawn.
Obviously, for her, who has the magical power of "divine calculation" and has been engaging in intrigues with civil and military officials in the court all year round, games like "Solitaire" are as boring as hypnosis.
This made Gu Xu couldn't help but sigh: It is really not easy to make the backyard harmonious and beautiful and everyone is satisfied!
In the end, Gu Xu took out the Jinghong Pen, drew in the air, and conjured up a wild version of Monopoly chess out of thin air.
He took out a paper man from Xianyun Ju and let it play the role of a "bank" - to be precise, in the wild world, it should be called a "bank".
Because Monopoly is essentially a game of luck, it does not require too much effort to calculate against each other, and it is full of freshness for the residents of the wilderness, so it has been unanimously recognized by the three women.
"...As expected of you, Gu Xu, even playing a game is all about making money..."
After Gu Xu finished explaining the rules of the game, the voices of the three people once again floated. In Jiang Zhaoyue's mind in the lake.
Jiang Zhaoyue also became interested in this novel game.
She quietly approached the awning boat, half of her head sticking out of the water, and saw that everyone on the boat was holding a thick stack of fake banknotes in their hands. Her eyes could not help but shine, full of curiosity.
The dragon clan is highly respected in the Lingxiao world because of its strong bloodline.
However, just as the Fairy Clan is famous for its delicious food, the Dragon Clan also has two major criticisms:
One is "love of prostitution" and the other is "greed for money".
The characteristic of "promiscuous" is mainly reflected in male dragons.
Since the original dragon clan was born from the great road of heaven and earth, they were not only able to reproduce internally, but also had no reproductive isolation from most races in the world. Therefore, there was a saying that "a dragon gives birth to nine sons, all of whom are different" legend.
It is recorded in ancient books: "When a dragon crosses with an ox, it will give birth to a lin; when it crosses with a hog, it will give birth to an elephant; when it crosses with a horse, it will give birth to a dragon and a horse." (1)
It can be said to be everything. Make love and sow seeds everywhere.
The female dragon clan is the other extreme.
They regard themselves as the noblest ethnic group in the world, and it is difficult to win their favor whether it is the lewd male dragons of the same race or other "lower" races.
Fortunately, the lifespan of the Dragon Clan is extremely long, so there is no need to worry too early about bloodline inheritance.
Jiang Zhaoyue, who is several thousand years old, is still in his infancy, while Jiang Miaoyin, who is ten thousand years old, has just entered adulthood.
As long as they want, they can remain single freely for tens of thousands of years.
The characteristic of "greed for money" usually manifests itself in the love of collecting treasures from everywhere and filling one's nest to the brim.
Like Jiang Zhaoyue in the Lingxiao Realm, she has her own crystal palace on the bottom of the sea, filled with sparkling pearls, corals, agates, shells, etc.
As the currency system of Lingxiao Realm becomes increasingly mature, the Dragon Clan’s obsession with heavenly materials and earthly treasures gradually extends to the currency itself.
So, when Jiang Zhaoyue watched Gu Xu collecting "tolls" with great joy, and the fake banknotes in his hands were accumulating more and more, she couldn't help but stare straight at it without blinking. For a moment, it seemed that he wanted to replace it immediately.
At the end of the first round of the game, a huge purple dragon eye suddenly appeared on the bow of the awning boat, and then a clear divine message echoed in the minds of everyone on the boat: "I Can I join you?”
“Come on”
Gu Xu stood up from his position, stepped aside, pushed the paper man away, and acted as a "bank" himself.
Just now, he was lucky, and he was a little over the top when it came to playing. He "bullied" the three girls severely, leaving them heavily in debt in the game.
Now they all looked at him with resentful eyes.
Hearing the words, Jiang Zhaoyue wagged her tail happily, stirring the lake surface and causing waves, and the Wu Peng boat also began to rock.
She did not turn into a human form, but remained in the water, using her true energy to control the game props.
However, after a while, Jiang Zhaoyue's happy mood disappeared without a trace.
"Why did I go to jail?"
"Why did I go to jail again?"
"How come I ran around twice and didn't even get a piece of land?"
“Damn, I’m almost out of money!”
"Why do I have to pay the road money again?"
"..."
After several rounds, Jiang Zhaoyue was imprisoned five times and owed dozens of dollars to the bank played by Gu Xu Ten thousand taels of silver.
Frustrated, with angry purple flames flashing in her eyes, she dove into the lake and announced her withdrawal from the game.
Gu Xu looked at the water splashing high on the lake and sighed softly. This silver dragon's luck is so bad that it's pitiable.
Every time she rolled the dice, it was as if she was cursed to always hit the worst one of the six possible outcomes accurately.
Gu Xu thought to himself that if she were asked to take a test on Earth and be asked a hundred multiple-choice questions, she would most likely avoid all the correct options and get them all wrong.
…………
The awning boat swayed on the lake and drifted into the night.
The moon rose slowly from the tree branches, dyeing the ripples silvery white.
Shi Xiaohan felt sleepy, his eyelids drooped, and he went back to the house to rest first.
Zhao Yan also left afterwards.
Only Gu Xu and Shangguan Jin were left on the boat.
Without anyone else present, Shangguan Jin was finally able to stay close to Gu Xu.
She tilted her head and rested it on his shoulder.
Dan’s lips were slightly open and pressed against his ears.
"Brother Emperor," the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and her warm breath lingered on Gu Xu's ears, "Guess what gift I have prepared for you?"
"Could it be, Another painting?" Gu Xu guessed.
Shangguan Jin shook his head gently.
"Follow me."
When the awning boat stopped at the shore, she took Gu Xu's hand and walked through the quiet woods on the lakeshore towards the row of buildings with raised eaves and corners not far away. go.
Shangguan Jin’s bedroom in Changchun Garden is called “Qingshu Palace”.
The bamboo shadows dance outside the window, and the smell of books inside the house is light.
The mottled moonlight fell on the bed like broken silver scales.
After entering the room, Shangguan Jin took out a neatly folded cyan dress from the cabinet, unfolded it gently, picked it up, and displayed it in front of Gu Xu.
“I made this with my own hands according to your size,” she said with a smile, “How do you like this gift?”
Before Gu Xu could respond, Shangguan Jin The figure flashed and came behind him like a breeze.
She untied his belt, took off his robe, and then put the new clothes on him with a swish.
"I like it, of course I do." Gu Xu replied.
Shangguan Jin, who possesses the magical power of "Heavenly Calculation", may understand Gu Xu's body better than he does himself.
The clothes she made were more comfortable and fit better than any tailor in the world could make.
In addition, she also attached some spells to her clothes, which can relieve his fatigue and bring him plenty of energy when he is working at his desk.
The spell itself is not complicated, but Gu Xu can feel her thoughts.
He turned around and hugged her in his arms.
Her chin rested on his shoulder, his hands on her waist, their hearts beating in the same rhythm.
"Just like it." Shangguan Jin said softly.
She raised her head slightly, and her lips passed across his cheek, like a kiss from a dragonfly.
“But this is not the gift I want most.” Gu Xu suddenly changed the subject.
“Then what do you want?” Shangguan Jin raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise.
In the depths of her peaceful pupils, there was a faint hint of undetectable unhappiness.
Gu Xu smiled and stared into her eyes: "You."
When the words fell, Shangguan Jin's green skirt rustled off her body.
The delicate body under the moonlight is like solidified frost and snow.
The blush on the cheeks is like the early morning glow.
Gu Xu picked up the silk belt that fell on the ground, grabbed her hands, raised them above her head, then brought her wrists together and tied a bow.
Shangguan Jin looked at him quietly, with a gentle smile on his face.
This bow is tied loosely and may fall apart if the movement is slightly larger.
But she still cooperated obediently and allowed him to do whatever he wanted.
“Brother, who did you learn all these fancy things from?”
"Guess what."
Gu Xu gently pushed her down on the moonlit bed, then leaned down and took her red and crystal lips into his mouth.
The tea-scented lipstick melted quietly in his mouth.
