043 Gambling
No matter what the young master of the Pei family has towards Eleven Niang, he takes care of these women very much in terms of convenient travel arrangements, and of course it is very likely that someone else is taking care of his sweetheart.
Every city must enter, every food must be tasted, every scenery must be appreciated, and half a day stays in the city.
It is rare for Miss Mo San to have such an opportunity to see all over the mountains and rivers, appreciate the people's feelings, eat unique snacks, and smile all the way. This naturally provoked the unhappy cousin of the Yang family, she strongly protested, but was sent away lukewarmly by the young master of the Pei family, "Cousin Yang is unwilling, you can go back to Beijing first." β
She went back on her own? So far away, what if you run into gangsters?
Miss Yang Jiabiao choked, and she was angry every day, but she was helpless.
Eleven Niang is too lazy to be a light bulb, every time she goes to a town, she must go to a place - a gambling house.
"Come on, buy and leave! Buy and go! β
"Great! Big! Big! β
"Small! Small! Small! β
"Open! Five-six-one, twelve, big! β
"I said buy big, you have to buy small! Lost again! If you lose again, you'll have to go bare-ass when you go home later......"
"I'll just guess twelve, twelve! You're not small! You will pay back my money......"
Luoxing Lake, one of the three cities of Kyoto, is 30 miles away from Kyoto's Jiangning Mansion, and legend has it that the day of the eclipse falls from the sky, hence the name Luoxing Lake.
Luoxing Lake is located in the southwest of the capital and is the main road to the capital. It has attracted countless literati and beautiful ladies to come here to sigh at the lake and compose poems to praise the elegance.
Naturally, there are more people who are more talented than literati hereβmerchants.
Businessmen chase fame and fortune, and some people fancy business opportunities, so they built a gambling house that can make people rich overnight and ruin people overnight, and the gambling house has gradually become a landmark industry in Luoxing Lake.
The gambling house that Eleven Niang entered is the largest gambling house in Luoxing Lake City, known as Qianjintai!
I heard that someone once entered the game with ten taels, and the dealer won eighteen games in a row with a loss of three, and won 86 million taels in one night - gold!
Qianjintai became famous from this.
As for who won...... So far, no one knows.
At the entrance is the largest sic treasure table of Qianjintai, which is divided into 16 grids with blue and green tones, and clearly marked with vermilion 4 to 176 numbers.
Sic Bo table is divided into two kinds of betting: a bet size, the dealer shakes the dice, the gambler bets, buy and leave, the dealer unveils the dice cup to see the points of the round of wins and losses, four to ten for the small, eleven to seventeen for the large, if the pressure is small to open the small, the gambler who bets small can get double the silver, the gambler who gambles the big money to the dealer, and vice versa; Two betting points, if the gambler guesses the right number of points, the dealer loses two!
But today, coinciding with the twentieth year of the establishment of Qianjintai, the young owner personally sat in the village, in order to attract more businessmen to come here, Qianjintai pushed a new rule limited to one day: today's Sic Bo table regardless of the number of points, only divided into size, the virtuous family pays one, the dealer - one pays three.
The big red notice was posted on the door, and people came and went, in order to have an adventure on this day and win all the gold platforms in one night.
Eleven Niang was weak and barely showed her head in the crowd, but fortunately, the red-clothed little guy with a customer led her to the front of the sic bo table, "Childe, please feel free to play, if you have any orders, you can shout small." β
Eleven Niang casually took out ten taels of silver and handed it over, "There is Brother Lao." β
The little guy in red was used to seeing the silver, and still took the silver with a signature smile and retreated.
Eleven Niang looked at a shrewd-eyed, fifty-year-old dealer shaking the dice, and thought in her heart that she took out ten taels of silver and pressed it on the big one, and the dealer opened the dice cup, "Three, four, five, twelve o'clock." β
Eleven Niang received thirty taels of silver and stood aside to continue to watch the dealer shake the dice, and when he settled, smiled, and was about to place a bet, suddenly heard a gong and drum sound in the platform, and someone raised his voice, "Welcome to the young owner to sit in the village." β
The boss of Qianjintai is surnamed Gu, and the name of the young owner is Gu Yuan, the word Ziyan, but the people of Qianjintai like to call, "Young Master Ziyan." β
After a while, someone came down from the second floor with a tray, and the onlookers instantly got out of the way and welcomed the dice cup on the tray into the dice table, and the old man smiled at everyone, "Please bet on the old and young masters." β
A group of people flocked to the sic treasure table like crazy, and Eleven Niang retreated from the scope of the sic treasure table in line with the purpose of not being killed and being squeezed to death and trampled to death, and found a small platform in the corner of the side, and killed a young red-clothed guy Yizhuang Yixian!
The young man's eyebrows were clear, the bridge of his nose was high, his lips were like roses, he looked at the sic treasure table with an arc, and when he saw Eleven Niang coming over, he was stunned at first, and smiled on his face, "Don't the guests go to join in the fun?" Today, our young owner personally sits in the village......"
Two little guys saw the movement here and wanted to come over, but they were stopped by a look from the young man.
"There are too many people, and it would be too cost-effective if I stepped on them to death." Eleven Niang grinned at the young man, "Your Qianjintai only loses three for that Sic Bo table today?" β
The young man shook his head, "Today, all the tables in Qianjintai are one to three." β
Eleven Niang checked the ten taels of silver in her hand and looked at the young man with a smile, "I don't have much time, let's start." β
The young man was stunned, and he didn't say much, he raised his hand and shook the dice cup, and the dice hit up and down, left and right in the dice cup, and fell on the stage in a moment, "The guest bets big and small?" β
Eleven Niang put the silver on the big one, "Big! β
The young man smiled and raised the dice cup, "Three, five, six, fourteen, big!" Congratulations to the guests, one loses three, and gets thirty taels of silver. Want to continue? β
"Go on!" Eleven Niang took back the silver and looked at the young man.
The young man raised his hand and shook the dice cup, and a fierce quarrel suddenly broke out around the dice table at the door, "I'll just say big, you have to press small!" β
"Haha, big! I won, one to three, I pressed one thousand taels, and I turned three thousand taels at once! Ha ha...... Again! β
"Oops, it's dead...... This plate must be small! Little ......"
"Listen to me, this time it's ...... small"
The chaotic sound drowned out the shaking sound of the dice, and Eleven Niang frowned slightly
Silent, Eleven Niang frowned slightly, the young man's dice cup fell, and Eleven Niang pushed thirty taels into the big, "Big!" β
The young man raised his eyes and glanced at her, opened the dice cup, and said without hesitation, "Four, three, five, twelve o'clock!" Congratulations to the guests for winning 90 taels of silver. Want to continue? β
"Go on." Eleven Niang took the silver, staring at the dice cup on the table without blinking, the young man smiled and picked up the dice cup and began to shake it, settled, raised his eyes to look at Eleven Niang, "The guest bets big and small?" β
"Great!"
The young man's gaze paused, and he smiled, "Luoyin has no regrets, are you sure?" β
Eleven Niang glanced at him and nodded.
The boy opens the dice cup, one fifteen or six, twelve o'clock, big! In the bet of Eleven Niang, the young man pushed one hundred and eighty taels of silver in front of Eleven Niang, and asked with a smile, "Can the guest continue?" β
"Go on."
It is not uncommon to guess once, twice, or three times, but it is rare that Eleven Niang has seven plates, and ten taels of silver have been turned to four thousand eight hundred and sixty taels!
Although the smile on the young man's face has not changed, there are waves in his eyes, Zhuang is sitting by himself, the probability of the guest cheating is zero, there is only one possibility, this guest either has real ability to listen to the argument or is really lucky!
Around the two of them, a few regulars who couldn't squeeze into the golden dice platform gradually gathered, watching the young man shake the dice, and watching Eleven Niang continue to press calmly.
"Ouch, this young master, you have pressed a few big games in a row, how can it be the turn of the small, be careful to lose a fine ...... in one set"
"Old leather head, what are you talking nonsense? I think the odds of a big plate are much smaller than a small one! β
The boy looked at Eleven Niang, "Guest? β
"Open!" Eleven Niang smiled slightly, and glanced at the young man with a light light.
The young man pursed his lips and smiled for a moment, "Three five, fifteen o'clock, big!" Congratulations to the guests. β
"Fourteen thousand five hundred and eighty taels! Win eight sets in a row, oops, this young master is so powerful! β
"My bet must be small!" Someone next to him was unconvinced and slapped the silver on the small one.
Others heard the noise and came over, "Really? Qianjintai has not seen such good luck for a long time, and the dealer is about to sit in the bank. β
The boy lowered his head, picked up the dice cup, flipped his wrist, put the dice into the cup, banged, and was slapped on the stage by the teenager for a moment, "Guest, please bet." β
Eleven Niang calmly pushed all the silver to the big characters, "Big!" β
The onlookers looked at each other, "Why can't this plate be big?" How many sets are you opening in a row? Young Master Ziyan is not so willful......"
"If Young Master Ziyan is sure to be small, how can he always bet with him?"
The boy opened the dice cup, and everyone came up together, and exclaimed at the same time, "Huh? Still big! How is this possible? You kid can't shake the dice, how can every plate be big, aren't you a pit person? β
The people around him were talking, the smile on the young man's face had fallen silent, a touch of seriousness was added to his clear eyebrows, his thin lips were pursed, and a little fresh meat face that was suitable and made people feel that there was no masculinity instantly became more rigorous and solemn.
Looking at Shi Niang's gaze, he also looked at him with a bit of scrutiny, "Can the guest continue?" β
"Go on."
The young man picked up the dice cup again, only to drop the cup, looked at Eleven Niang, with a hint of provocation in his eyes, Eleven Niang smiled faintly, pushed all the silver to the big one, lips and teeth opened and closed, "Big!" β
"How can it still be big? This game is lost, whose child is this stunned ......"
"It's going to be hell if it's still big this time......"
"Little boy, you better buy a small one, it's more likely to be small."
Everyone talked about it, Eleven Niang didn't move, looking at the young man in red, the curvature of the young man's lips tightened a little, raised his hand to open the cup, and everyone's eyes instantly widened, "How can it still be big?!" Bluffing, right? β
"His grandmother's, evil ......"
β¦β¦
An unbelievable shout attracted more people to come over, surrounded by Eleven Niang and the young man impenetrable, two red-clothed little guys came over and stood deep with the young man, his lips squirmed as if he said something, the young man only shook his head slightly, and the two little guys took two steps back, one left and one right behind him.
Eleven Niang glanced thoughtfully at the two red-clothed boys, and withdrew the more than 40,000 taels of silver pushed over by the young man.
The young man picked up the dice cup, looked at Eleven Niang, smiled with his eyebrows, and the diswillingness to admit defeat became stronger and stronger at the bottom of his eyes, "Guest, this time you bet big and small?" β
Eleven Niang looked at him silently, and the people around him shouted for the teenager to shake the dice and fall into the cup, the young man glanced at everyone lightly, and changed his left hand to shake the dice, in the lobby, the golden dice treasure platform was opened, and a bunch of people shouted loudly, and the young man shook the cup, looked at Eleven Niang provocatively, and repeated the words just now, "Guest, this time the bet is big and small?" β
"Great!" Shi Niang did not hesitate to push all the tens of thousands of taels of silver over, and there was an uproar around, "This kid is crazy!" I'll bet small! Bet small! β
"I'm betting a little on this game! Small! I don't believe he's not small! β
β¦β¦
In the chaos, the young man frowned and looked directly at Eleven Niang, he knew very well whether he was big or small in the dicecup, three or forty-two, for the big! This girl has won the bet again!
He didn't believe it! The dice didn't stay in the dice cup for a breath, and there was so much noise around her, how could she guess that she was shaking her ...... No, maybe this girl even knows how much he shakes!
How is this possible? How can it be!
He didn't believe it, he was going to bet with her again! Individual!
Someone around coaxed the dice cup, the young man's cold eyes swept over, the bottom of his eyes was cold and lonely, the man was stunned, and immediately stopped.
The boy was too lazy to joke with them, opened the dice cup, and three or four lay on the stage, twelve o'clock, big!
"Oh my God...... Is Qianjintai crazy today? β
"This kid actually opened ten big ones in a row! How dare he? β
"Whose young master is this really courageous...... With this courage, the future is immeasurable......"
"Young master's surname?"
Someone stammered and asked the name and surname of Eleven Niang, someone
Name and surname, someone shouted for the boy to open again, the boy glanced at the little guy behind him, the two guys pushed away the crowd and opened a way for the boy, the boy took a deep look at Eleven Niang, turned around and followed the two guys upstairs.
Everyone looked at each other, the second floor of Qianjintai has always been only allowed by the main family and guests with a starting 100,000 gambling capital, this young man actually ......
The young man stepped into the second floor, his face was a little annoyed, "Come on, catch the girl who bets with me downstairs!" β
"Who made our second young master angry?" A man dressed in red, looking demonic, holding a lady's fan walked over with a smile and looked him up and down, "What?" Having fun playing down there? β
The man's eyebrows and eyes are narrow, and there is a charm between his smiles, which is clearly a man but has a sense of demagogic fox.
The young man glanced at the man, brushed away the man's hand, and said coldly, "That girl is so hateful!" You're not going yet? β
The two little guys responded, turned around and went downstairs, and were stopped by the man, "Ziyan, don't mess around!" The people who come here to gamble are all guests, how can they be caught? β
"That girl did it on purpose, she knew what I was going to shake every time? She's clearly looking at me and laughing! "It turns out that this young man is none other than today's protagonist Gu Yuan, the young master of the Gu family, Gu Ziyan.
The wicked man smiled, "Dad found your favorite glass cup, put together enough sets, and is discussing with others in the room...... Are you sure you'd rather go to a little girl's stubble and miss the glass cup? β
"Really?" The young man's eyes lit up, and he went up and pulled the sleeve of the demon man, "Big brother, where is Dad?" β
The demon man glanced at one of the rooms, and the young man smiled and loosened the man's sleeve, stretched out his head and glanced down, "Lustful, at first glance, he is greedy for money, hum!" I'll be cheap for her today, and I'll run into ...... again."
The young man walked away, the demon man smiled, and his eyes fell on Shi Niang, who was packing up the silver in the corner, "Miansheng, it's not like the children of the merchants who come and go to Luoxing Lake, Hongyue, you go and find out the origin of that girl." β
"Yes, Young Master Zizhou." Behind him, a girl dressed as a maid in red answered the call and went downstairs.
Eleven Niang smiled and looked for the steward of Qianjintai to exchange the chips for silver tickets, rewarded the steward with two silver tickets of one hundred taels, and called it a day and went home.
As soon as he walked to the door, he bumped into Uncle Luo, who came in, and Uncle Luo grabbed her ears and pulled her outside, "You girl, you actually came to the gambling house without me?!" Did you know that there are all kinds of arowanas here? Someone secretly sold you, and you don't even know who it is? β
"It hurts...... Hurt! Uncle, you're going to rip my ears off......" Eleven Niang hurriedly pretended to sell it obediently, and begged for mercy with a smile, "I don't dare anymore, I won't come to this kind of place again......"
Third Uncle Luo glared at her fiercely and let go, "Not coming?" β
"Uh-huh! No promises! "The hundreds of thousands of taels plus the tens of thousands of taels she has accumulated in each town where she has settled are almost 200,000 taels, which is enough for her current expenses, and the rest ......
Earn slowly!
Third Uncle Luo sighed, pulled Eleven Niang to go back, and criticized her for being nondescript in men's clothes as she walked, Eleven Niang pretended to be stupid, what did Uncle Luo say, what did she listen to. It wasn't until Third Uncle Luo lost his temper that she smiled and said to Third Uncle Luo, "Uncle, someone is following us behind." β
Third Uncle Luo was stunned, and was about to look back, but was stopped by Eleven Niang, and whispered, "Let's go separately, you go east, I go west, let's go around and then go back to the inn." β
"No! You're not safe as a girl, I'll go with you. Third Uncle Luo refused without thinking about it, and ran away with Eleven Niang.
The footsteps of the followers paused, and some hesitation followed.
Eleven Niang was helpless, and took Uncle Luo's hand with her backhand to perform light skills and circled around the gambling house, and the footsteps behind her became farther and farther away until she disappeared.
Third Uncle Luo was tired and fell on the chair, but his eyes didn't let go of Eleven Niang, "Say, where did you learn these kung fu skills?" β
His father is known for his swordsmanship, and such an elegant and agile light skill is obviously not his father's handiwork.
Eleven Niang raised her eyebrows and smiled, "I picked up a book on the mountain, and it was taught like this." β
"Nonsense, if you go pick up another copy, I'll believe you." Third Uncle Luo glanced at his niece, obviously not believing his words.
Eleven Niang spread her hands, "Uncle doesn't believe it, I can't help it, I did pick it up, you ask Xue Ye when you don't believe it." β
"Why did you have something to do with that kid?" Third Uncle Luo frowned, "You're twelve, why are you still so close to that kid?" Don't bother with him if you have nothing to do in the future......"
Eleven Niang blinked and laughed.
Third Uncle Luo was helpless and waved his hand, "It's not early, let's rest, I'll enter Beijing tomorrow." β
"Uncle also rests early."
Third Uncle Luo got up and walked out, and when he got to the door, he turned back and told her, "Don't go to the gambling house again!" β
"Yes! Be sure not to go. Eleven Niang raised her hand and swore an oath.
Third Uncle Luo closed the door and left.
Eleven Niang poured a glass of water, was silent for a moment, listened to the door on the opposite side open and close, and said, "Come out." β
"Cousin." Jiang Yi, who was dressed in black, spun down from the roof beam and hugged his fists.
Eleven Niang smiled faintly, "Jiang Yi, why are you here?" β
"The subordinates were ordered by the lord to send people to my cousin." Jiang Yi said coldly.
Eleven Niang pondered for a while, and opened her mouth to join Jiang, "No need, you let them enter Jiangning Mansion, and if you want to enter Zhongqinhou Mansion, I will join them at that time." β
Jiang Yi hesitated, "What the master means is to let them protect the safety of the cousin girl closely." β
"With the people of the Mo family and the Pei family following, ordinary people don't dare to do anything to me, you listen to me." Eleven Niang insisted.
Jiang Yi thought for a moment and clenched his fists, "Yes, my subordinates will arrange it." β
"Hard."
Jiang Yi was stunned, turned around, and disappeared into the room.
β¦β¦
"You said that little girl will be able to do the ghost light skills of Fengyue Gate?" The wicked man patted the fan gently, and the pretty maid on the fan smiled brightly, but no
Brilliant, but not as glamorous as the shallow smile on the lips of the wicked man.
The girl in red knelt on the ground and didn't dare to look up, "Yes, my subordinates were found early in the morning, and then I barely chased after a cup of tea, and then ...... There was no trace of the two of them. β
The demon man's long and narrow eyes closed lightly, staring at a picture of a goddess flying on the wall, and smiled, "Interesting, it's been ten years since the ghost shadow skill disappeared, but I didn't expect it to appear on the body of a little girl!" β
"My subordinates will go from inn to inn to find the whereabouts of that girl!" The girl in red raised her head to ask for instructions, and the wicked man shook his head, "No, you go down, no one should mention this matter." β
The girl in red lowered her eyes, her eyes were cold, and she responded, "Yes." β
When the girl went out, she ran into Gu Ziyan head-on, and hurriedly stepped aside, "Young Master Ziyan." β
"Is Big Brother in the house?"
"Yes."
"Stand down."
"Yes."
"Big brother!" Gu Ziyan pushed the door in, his eyes lit up, "Come on, I finally have gathered a set of glass cups, they are very beautiful in the candlelight, big brother will go to see ...... together"
"Satisfied? For your set of glass cups, Dad spent a lot of favors, and it cost nearly a million taels to help you receive it. The demon man turned his back and flicked his backhand somewhere, and the goddess flying map on the wall disappeared in an instant, replaced by an extremely ordinary Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea Chart.
The young man's eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, and he grinned, "Thanks to the eldest brother who helped me find out the news, otherwise I wouldn't know where to sell it if my father and I have a relationship?" β
The demon man smiled dotingly, "I'll go to Jiangning Mansion in a few days, do you have anything you need me to bring?" β
The young man shook his head, and while the two were talking, there was a steward knocking on the door, "Young Master Zizhou, Young Master Ziyan, a total of seven million taels were earned today, and the odds were 1.3 million taels for the guests, and the income was a total of 5.7 million taels, of which ......"
"One million and three hundred thousand taels, that girl alone took one-tenth of it!" The smile on the young man's face suddenly stopped, and he slapped the table, "I should have known that I should have found someone to follow her first and see where she lived......"
"You are a guest, how can you just think about it because someone else has won a few games against you?" The wicked man shook his head, glanced at the steward, and the steward stepped back.
The demon man hesitated for a moment, told him about the fact that he sent someone to follow Eleven Niang and was dumped by Eleven Niang, and warned his younger brother, "That girl may be the next generation inheritance of Fengyuemen, you can't make a mistake!" So as not to get into trouble, you know? β
"What? The people of Fengyuemen? How can it be? Fengyuemen has disappeared for ten years, how can you ......" The young man didn't believe it, and he wanted to argue about something, but he was silenced by a cold look from the demon man.
didn't check for him, he secretly went to check in private, that girl caused him to lose ten games in a row, next time, he had to ask that girl to kowtow and admit defeat!
