On the fourth floor of the Emerald Treasure Residence, the five-zhang area is divided into several large and small rooms, independent of each other and do not interfere with each other, compared with the crowded lobby on the first and second floors, this place is naturally very luxurious.

The door of each room is hung with a string of sandalwood beads, and the heavy wooden door is locked inside and difficult to open. There is a wooden window holding the railing, from here you can overlook the bustling crowd of Qingzhou City from the building, which is quite condescending.

On both sides of the screen stood several girls of twenty-eight years old, all of whom were graceful and high-looking, and before the patron could make any sound, they knew when to serve the food and when to drink. In the room, there was a table of eight immortals made of golden silk nanmu, and several pots of spirits were placed on it. The ice-cracked bowls and chopsticks transported from Jingdezhou are wound with gold wire, which is extremely valuable.

On the wall of the room there are many famous pen and ink Danqing, and there is also a high-quality pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the chest of drawers next to it. With such exquisite furnishings, only those clans with identity in Qingzhou City can be ranked here, and the Xu family, who is in-law with Zhou Youliang, can naturally occupy a place here.

Today, Xu Huang, the little son of the Xu family in Qingzhou City, is here to entertain several distinguished guests from Ningzhou, and asked someone to inquire about the appetite of these people, and took them straight to the fourth floor of the Green Treasure Residence.

Xu Huang is about twenty-five or sixteen, wearing a gray robe today, and the mink brocade robe he carries with him is hung on the wooden cabinet, and he is dressed as ordinary as a scholar. But Qingzhou City knows that he is a smiling tiger, but in fact, he has done a lot of ruthless things behind his back, and because Zhou Youliang is his brother-in-law, he is rampant and domineering in Qingzhou City, and he is even more unscrupulous.

At this moment, the arrogant and domineering Xu Huang was smiling at the two distinguished guests from Ningzhou, talking about the recent secret affairs of Qingzhou City, and making obscene jokes, which were so ashamed that the girls at the door were red and did not dare to speak.

Xu Huang picked up his wine glass and said to a man in an indigo robe: "Brother Zhong, the three of us are older, so I will toast you first, this April green liquor unique to Qingzhou City can be tasted carefully, and it is difficult to find it elsewhere." ”

The man surnamed Zhong smiled: "Hey, this time I'm just a lobbyist, if you want to open a good gambling stall in Qingzhou City, you have to have a good chat with Luo Youju Brother Luo, I, I'm just the Jiuqu intestine of Green Treasure House, otherwise the mountains and rivers are far away, how can I come over." ”

Next to the man in the indigo robe, there was a man dressed like a wealthy businessman, who raised his glass to Xu Huang at this moment and said: "Don't listen to Brother Zhong's nonsense, little brother, I just came to Baodi, I don't understand the customs here, and I have to be taken care of by Xu Gongzi, but I heard that in Qingzhou City, if you want to open a good gambling stall Red Courtyard, without Xu Gongzi's approval, you can't do anything." ”

The man surnamed Zhong smiled: "No, in Qingzhou City, my brother Xu is famous for his righteousness in the road, otherwise I wouldn't introduce you to Luo Youju." It's just that you are good to discuss, don't hurt the peace. ”

Xu Huang looked at the two people in front of him, and seemed to be very familiar with each other between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, but he was secretly thinking about business in his heart. Qingzhou City's gambling stalls have always been their own business, but for some reason there are fewer and fewer customers to play, and after careful inquiry, it turned out to be rumored among the locals that the Xu family in Qingzhou City is in the gambling stalls, but secretly there are thousands of people, so there are fewer and fewer people to play.

But so many gamblers with a lot of money, but there is nowhere else to go, and it is also a loss for the Xu family, so Xu Huang thought of partnering with others to open another gambling stall, and on the surface, others will do the east, but secretly the two will be divided.

Xu Huang's industry is too big, he once lost some money, and because of the struggle for power and power of several sons in the family, the account room is too tightly controlled, and Master Xu will not fund any of his money. Therefore, Xu Huang thought of Brother Zhong who cooperated not long ago, this person is quite powerful in Ningzhou City, and many rare things can be obtained, last time Xu Huang asked him to get the Night Pearl, and took this thing to honor Zhou Youliang, so Zhou Youliang loved him very much.

It's just that today, Brother Zhong took Luo Youju to Lubaoju, Xu Huang didn't have a bottom in his heart, and he didn't know what the details of this person were. However, Brother Zhong patted his chest to ensure that this person was absolutely reliable. Thinking that Qingzhou City was his family's territory, he couldn't make any trouble with him, so Xu Huang was willing to continue to associate with this person.

Xu Huang made up his mind and asked Luo Youju: "Brother Luo, don't kill me, there are too many big people in Qingzhou City, and I can't be ranked." It's just that the business of my gambling stall is getting worse and worse, so I asked you for advice. ”

Luo Youju raised April Qing and drank it all, and smiled at Xu Huang: "I have a few gambling stalls in Ningzhou City, at first there was only one gambling stall like you, many people thought I was out of the way, so they won from the bottom, and then I opened another one opposite the original gambling stall, which made the gamblers feel that there were two options, so they lost today, and they will go to another house tomorrow, but they don't know that these two gambling stalls are despicable." ”

Xu Huang smiled and asked, "Then aren't you afraid that gamblers will lose too much and never come?"

Luo Youju shook his head: "Gamblers never worry about losing too much in one day, because they think they will definitely win back tomorrow, what they are worried about is that the gambling stalls will disappear and they will no longer be able to find a place to gamble." As for what they say, anyone who has opened a gambling house knows it, hehe. ”

When Xu Huang heard this, he knew that this person was a master of gambling, and he would definitely not suffer a loss if he followed this person, so he raised his wine glass with both hands and said: "Then in this case, we will make him a lot of money in Qingzhou City, and when the time comes, I will let my brother-in-law's Yonghe dart game help Brother Luo transport the money, and don't tire the mules and horses to death when the time comes." ”

Luo Youju laughed, but he didn't say anything anymore, filled the wine in the cup again, saluted Xu Huang, and drank it all again.

The man surnamed Zhong looked at the dishes in front of him and said a little jokingly: "You guys are so happy to talk today, and I don't have enough to eat, can this green treasure house without a nine-curved large intestine still be a green treasure house?"

Xu Huang looked at the dishes on the table, it can be said that all the delicacies on the cards of Lvbaoju are here, but the most famous Jiuqu intestine of Lvbaoju is missing. Originally, the girl who served the food went to get it when she arrived, but Xu Huang thought that they were slow and mistaken things, so he asked Steward Xu, who was acting safely, to go directly to the back kitchen with his entourage, so as not to have any eyeless bastard snatch the Jiuqu large intestine.

But it's been a long time, but Steward Xu hasn't come up, and it stands to reason that even if it takes a long time, Steward Xu should come up and say yes.

Hearing the man surnamed Zhong ask about the Jiuqu large intestine, Xu Huang explained: "This Jiuqu large intestine is very troublesome to deal with, although I have already said hello, but it will take some time for this cook to deal with it, Brother Zhong, you are so good to wait for a while, let's drink enough April Qing first." ”

The man surnamed Zhong smiled: "Okay, I want to drink enough for this April Qing, but I also have to eat enough for Jiuqu large intestine." ”

At this moment, Steward Xu came up with a disgraced face and whispered a few words into Xu Huang's ear, and the angry Xu Huang directly threw the ice crack wine glass in his hand to the ground: "How can this be reasonable, which kid is not long-eyed?"
