Chapter 114: The gambling game on the first floor of Baiyue Building
Speaking of this opening village, we have to talk about the operation mode of the first floor of Baiyue Building.
There are two main ways to operate on the first floor of Baiyue Building: one is a private gambling agreement that is not open to the public without a dealer, and the other is a gambling game that is open to the outside world with a bookmaker.
Private gambling contracts that are not open to the public, gambling is casual, gambling is free, gambling is a small number, there is no dealer, and Baiyue Building only plays a role in guaranteeing.
No matter who is here, no matter what, as long as you want to gamble, pay the guarantee fee, and then bet enough gambling money, and make a pledge, the gambling contract can be established.
With Baiyue Building as a guarantee, no one in the world dares to rely on the account, and it is easy to gamble with worry and effort.
The private gambling reception is located right in the middle of the ground floor, facing the door. Here according to the central pillar around a circle of exquisite mahogany table, behind the desk stand a tall cabinet, stacked hundreds of small drawers, each small drawer, are classified to store more than a dozen or dozens of private gambling information.
Here, you can bet on which adult will wear what kind of clothes to go out tomorrow, you can also bet on whether the youngest son of which family can pass the child or show talent, and you can also bet on which family's daughter can get married next year, or which family's daughter-in-law can give birth to a big fat boy in which year.
Here you can bet on anything you want.
Because of this, everyone in Beijing, or people with names and surnames, either make money to the little people here in Baiyue Building, or have special subordinates who squat here every day.
Because you don't know when you might become someone else's bet. If you don't pay attention one day, you wear which clothes to go out, and you win a sum of money for others, which is really embarrassing.
Of course, there are also people who make an appointment to gamble, and they will add money to declare that they are not allowed to inform the outside world when the gambling contract has not passed. In such a gambling contract, the content of the gambling is often sealed and kept, and the person who applies for the gambling will only inform the time of opening the gambling contract.
In this kind of gambling contract, even Baiyue Building, which collects the gambling contract, cannot know the specific content of the gambling contract.
This kind of bet can be long and short.
Ms. Goo said that the longest bet she knew of was made by two mysterious people at the beginning of spring five years ago. The two paid 800 taels of silver for this purpose, which was the highest charge for the private gambling contract of Baiyue Building.
The bet lasted about ten years, and now only half of the time has passed.
Think about it, five years ago, wasn't it the year when Liu Shuangli was forced to leave his division and was in exile, and finally met Qin Siyang by chance.
The two mysterious people who came to Baiyue Lou in the spring of that year stated that no matter whether the two came back as promised ten years later, Baiyue Lou would open the sealed gambling contract and transfer the silver tickets they had deposited with HSBC to the person who won the gambling contract according to the agreement.
This HSBC exchange silver ticket is from the HSBC bank, which is owned by Hongfeng, the first silver number of the Great Week.
Li Yue'e does not know how many silver tickets the two mysterious people saved in Baiyue Building, but it is certain that the amount must be not small, and the number of 10,000 taels must be there.
From this point alone, the credibility of Baiyue Building can be seen.
Therefore, in Baiyue Building, the eyeliner of all the big and small forces in Beijing is gathered.
Of course, these eyeliners not only pay attention to the latest bets of the private in the middle at any time, but also pay attention to the gambling games that are open to the outside world after the four slidings.
Behind the gambling game that is open to the outside world, there are all kinds of big and small forces in Beijing to make bets and accept bets from anyone. Baiyue Building only plays the role of a platform and maintenance order.
Of course, Long Xingwei will also make a bank and make a bet from time to time and make a lot of money from it.
The casino reception is open to the public, which is located on four sides of the one-story room, separated from the private gambling room in the middle by several pillars and a partition door.
"Where did Li Qitou hear that the Hou Ye family of Jianning has the biggest chance of winning. The little steward Geng Sheng couldn't help laughing.
"Isn't it?"
Geng Sheng smiled and nodded: "This is indeed true." Only the Ye family mainly wins in the odds, most of them also knew the respective positions of the show girls in advance, and then gave the odds to the Wang family, so they became the biggest winners in the end. ”
"What do you mean?" Liu Shuangli said curiously.
Geng Sheng swept the erratic flow of people in the hall, led the two girls of Long Xingwei to the east, and explained in a low voice as he walked: "For example, Concubine Li, who was born in a commoner, because she is the most beautiful, everyone guesses that her position must not be low. The odds that the Wang family gave her before were that the concubine paid two for one, the concubine paid three for one, Jieyu paid four for one, and the beauty paid five for one. The odds of Jianning Hou are different, the concubine pays two for one, the concubine loses four for one, Jieyu loses three for one, and the beauty loses seven for one. As a result, the number of people who bought concubines was the most, and the number of concubines was the least. There is also the queen mother's niece, one is the daughter of the Tian family, and she guesses that her position is not low. The concubine position given by the Wang family is one time and three times and the concubine is one to pay two, Jieyu is one to pay four, and the beauty is one to pay six; Jianning Hou is one to four for the concubine, one to pay three for the concubine, and one to pay two for Jieyu, as a result, these two people buy the same number of concubines and concubines. There are also Qing concubines from official families, the Wang family is a concubine with one loss of three, a concubine with one loss of two, and Jieyu with one loss of four; Jianding Hou is a concubine with one loss of five, and the concubine is one with three losses and Jieyu with one loss of four, and as a result, there are as many people who buy concubines and concubines, and there are many people who buy Jieyu. And then the commoner-born Ming Jieyu, the Wang family gave one to four for the concubine, one for the concubine, one for the concubine, one As a result, I bought the most beauties, followed by Jieyu......"
After listening to this big string of words, although it was extremely brain-twisting, Li Yue'e and Liu Shuangli still understood it. After understanding, the two couldn't help but draw a black line for the Wang family in their hearts.
All of the above, in the Wang family, as long as the person who gets the share in the end, the odds of one to two are the lowest. This Wang family, really a small family, is very angry, and is not willing to lose at all, no wonder it will be targeted and used by the Marquis of Jianning, so as to get the final win.
It can be seen from this that this Jianning Hou Ye family is not an ordinary yin.
Corresponding to the name of their family of poets and books, there seems to be something wrong.
But on the other hand, this Jianning Marquis Mansion is also very confident, and he is not afraid of offending the three families of Wang Tianfang, who are now in power.
When I turned the east door, I saw a crowd of people, and the whole east side was flooded.
Not to mention Liu Shuangli, even Li Yue, who often goes in and out of this Baiyue Building, was shocked by this number.
"Why are there so many people?" Li Yue'e was puzzled, "Who opened the big village?"
"No, today's bookmakers are still the same as before, and the odds are also at a normal level. Geng Sheng replied with a calm face.
"It's all normal, so what's going on with these people?"
"Most of this is for the sake of people. Geng Sheng replied calmly.
"Look at people?"
Geng Sheng nodded.
With so many people around, no matter how big your ability is, you can't squeeze it in. Li Yue'e could only pull Liu Shuangli and stand on the outermost layer, looking curiously inside from time to time.
Although there were many people, they didn't make any noise, and most of them just stood around, curiously watching what was going on in the circle.
Such a stable onlooker is really not in line with the atmosphere that a casino should have.
The outermost two girls were full of novelty.
was curious, and heard someone in the circle shouting: "I said Brother Zifan, don't be awkward anymore, quickly choose one and bet on it." One can't do two, or three, but I can't borrow you without money. ”
Before the man's voice fell, he heard the echo of everyone in the circle, high or low, all encouraging someone to hurry up and place a bet.
Li Yue'e folded her feet, looked in and over, but still couldn't see anything, so she could only look back at Geng Sheng in confusion.
"It's Li Chaochen, the most beautiful man in the world, and his friends. Geng Sheng explained.
Li Yue'e was even more curious: "It depends on the beautiful man, and it should also be the girl's family." How many women are here? And this Li Chaochen is not a sick beauty Wei Jue, he has gone out more times than our commanders, and he doesn't cover his veil or face, who else in Beijing hasn't seen his true face. ”
Yes, who in Beijing has not seen the true face of the famous Li Zifan and Li Chaochen, and he needs to run to this airless casino to watch?
"It's not about looks. Geng Sheng replied.
"So what?"
"Their bet. ”
The two girls still looked suspicious.
Geng Sheng could only continue to explain: "Li Chaochen and a few of his fellow friends don't know how to chat in private, and they have different opinions on which mother's belly the emperor's first prince came from. Because no one can convince anyone, I came here today to make a bet. ”
The two girls were stunned when they heard this, just such a small thing attracted so many people to watch.
Li Yue'e doubted: "Shouldn't this kind of private gambling be made in the hall, how did they come here?"
"I was going to the hall to make a contract. Geng Sheng smiled bitterly, "Because of Ye Jiugongzi, he came here." ”
"Ye Jiugongzi?" Li Yue'e thought for a while, "Ye Zhimin from the fourth room of the Marquis of Jianning, the second-class jinshi of this year's spring gang?"
"It is this Ye Jiu Gongzi who is in the same family as Li Chaochen. Geng Sheng said with a smile, "There are also the three sons of the Cheng family of the Imperial History Mansion, who are also inside." ”
"The third son of the Cheng family, Cheng Yuanqing?" Liu Shuangli exclaimed, "He's also here?"
"Yes, Cheng Sangongzi is also here. Geng Shengxiang talked about Shuangli's forehead, because he knew that this little girl was from the Cheng family in the Imperial History Mansion, so he specifically mentioned this Cheng Sangongzi.
Li Yue'e was also taken aback: "The third son of the Cheng family, the one who won the second class this year?"
"It's the third son. Geng Sheng nodded.
After Li Yue'e understood, she smiled: "No wonder there are so many people crowded, in addition to Ye Jiu and Cheng San, are there other noble sons who are also inside?"
Geng Sheng smiled on his forehead: "Yes, there are also the six sons of the An Yuan Bo family, the second son of the Huang Hanlin family, the second son of the Lu family of the Ministry of Officials, the sixth son of the Shaoqing Dong family of Taichang Temple, and the four sons of the He family who have experienced the Du Cha Yuan, but none of these are important." ”
It really doesn't matter, compared to the ninth son of the Ye family and the third son of the Cheng family, the other five noble sons are really nothing.
"There are a lot of fellow students who came to gamble with Li Chaochen today, how many people are there?" asked Li Yue'e again.
"There were a lot of them, thirteen of them. ”
"Thirteen people, that's a lot. Li Yue'e smiled and winked at Liu Shuangli, "Sister Yining is really here today, there is a big drama to watch." ”
Liu Shuangli pouted: "There are too many people, I can't see it at all." ”
Li Yue'e raised her eyebrows, and a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes: "How can you not see it, come, follow my sister to the top." ”
