The carriage interior is covered with bamboo mats, with a spacious bed laid with ivory silk mats, and many satin cushions placed casually on top.
In the middle, there’s a square table adorned with mother-of-pearl inlays and jade, secured onto the bed.
Wanyan Zhang leaned lazily against the pillows, toying with the extrely crude playing cards Gu Yunjiao painted yesterday.
Besides Wanyan Zhang, there was a middle-aged man in the carriage, who glanced at Gu Yunjiao and nodded slightly.
Wanyan Zhang saw Gu Yunjiao coming in and straightened up slightly, "Since you weren’t here earlier, I’ve already taught Da Hai the cards and explained the rules to him!"
Gu Yunjiao heard this na and quickly recalled that Jiang Youzhi had ntioned that Jin Country’s Pri Minister was called Wulinda Hai. He must be this man.
Wanyan Zhang skillfully shuffled the cards, quickly finishing and placing them on the table.
The three began drawing cards, Gu Yunjiao chuckling as she drew, "Second Prince, just playing cards like this isn’t very interesting. How about we bet sothing to make it exciting?"
Wanyan Zhang laughed, "What do you have to bet? Right now, you can’t even find a single copper coin on you."
Wulinda Hai’s eyebrows twitched slightly at the side. The Second Prince’s tone with Doctor Gu seed overly familiar, as if speaking to a friend.
Gu Yunjiao smiled, "Betting money is boring. How about we bet sothing else? Second Prince knows I have many secret formulas, and the perfus, flower dew, these things were all made by ."
Wanyan Zhang raised an eyebrow, "You made them? I really didn’t know that."
Gu Yunjiao bead, "Then my bet is the thod for making perfu. What do Second Prince and Pri Minister think?"
People from Jin Country love perfu, so this bet should satisfy them.
Saying this even stirred Wulinda Hai’s interest.
Last ti, after signing the alliance with Chu Country, Empress Zheng gifted them several bottles of perfu.
This thing was very useful, mainly convenient, unlike incense which is troubleso, and more pleasant than the scent of sachets.
The delegation bought many to bring back to Jin Country.
Wanyan Zhang leaned against the cushions, "Isn’t there still flower dew? Why are you reluctant to offer that?"
Gu Yunjiao smiled, "Second Prince and Pri Minister are smart people. How dare I bet all my belongings? Even if I lose, I have to lose gradually."
Wanyan Zhang looked at her playfully, "We accept your bet, but what do you want?"
Gu Yunjiao replied, "If I win, how about Second Prince gives a carriage?"
Wanyan Zhang lowered his eyelids, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "Sure, a carriage is nothing. Compared to the perfu thod, it’s simply insignificant."
He looked at Wulinda Hai, "What is the Pri Minister betting?"
Wulinda Hai waved his hand, "I haven’t even played a single hand. Aren’t you clearly trying to trick ?"
Gu Yunjiao was agreeable, "Then, let’s wait until the Pri Minister is familiar with the ga before calculating the stakes?"
"Actually, the bet I want is quite small. How does a cast iron pot sound to the Pri Minister?"
Wulinda Hai laughed, "A cast iron pot, if Doctor Gu wants it, I can just give it as a gift."
Gu Yunjiao was sowhat surprised by his accommodating manner, but before she could think, she heard Wulinda Hai say, "I know you want the iron pot for your family. I can also provide you and your family so other conveniences, but I have one request from you."
"Please speak, Pri Minister."
