Chapter 52: Shengjing God of Gamblers

79_79301When Twilight Qing saw Hu Yanhao, her heart sank.

Oops!

The bad thing is not that Hu Yanhao is here, but that the Wuhu envoys are walking in Shengjing City, and the Daxing officials accompanying him, Hu Yanhao is here, so there must be court officials here!

Twilight glanced into the private room behind Hu Envoy, and could vaguely see someone sitting inside. Twilight Qing frowned suddenly, last night she came to Yuchun Tower to let the moon kill check, the lord and the faction of the court officials a few days ago often accompanied the Wuhu envoys to look for flowers and ask willows, but these days there is no movement, the negotiation and compensation matters have made the two sides a little stiff, Hu people have not been out of the post house for a few days.

Why did you come here today?

This matter is really not a coincidence, originally Du Qing calculated, she only took the two cases of pension silver in the court yesterday, and the court officials were busy doing accounts at home, and she didn't have the heart to visit the Qinglou these days, she happened to come to Yuchun Lou to take a walk, and she was surprised.

Now that the corruption case is being investigated, Ji Yan and the others lost the silver last night, she guessed that they would not dare to publicize it at home, and sure enough, there was no movement in the court this morning. Judging from the busy situation of the various prefectures in the past few days, she thought that she could hide it for three days, but tonight she accidentally bumped into the court officials of the Lord and the faction, and it seems that this matter will not be able to be concealed tonight.

At this point, it can only be a big scene tonight!

Twilight glared at Hu Yanhao coldly, and when Hu Yanhao saw it, his eyebrows were raised.

Why did the woman glare at him?

They came to Yuchun Building on a whim tonight, and when they came, they saw that the doors of the private room were open, and everyone went outside, and they all said that there was a gambling game to see tonight, but no one knew who they were gambling with. So he became interested, and ordered someone to move the table out, and sit by the railing and wait for someone to come, who would have thought that it would be her who was waiting?

Hu Yanhao met Twilight's cold knife-like gaze and smiled interestingly, she was really different from those boring women! The women in Daxing are too boring, and the women who have fallen into the Qinglou are just good at singing, dancing and poetry, which is very boring! Or is this woman good, as a woman who dares to come to the Qinglou, will she gamble?

Interesting!

He wanted to see how she went!

"Do you really want to bet?" Yuan Xiu asked, he had heard Lu Da say that she was very good at gambling, but she was not allowed to gamble in the army, and he had never seen it with his own eyes. She came here tonight, and he knew that she was going to gamble, but she couldn't change places? After all, this place is a green building.

As he spoke, Yuan Xiu glanced behind Du Qing, a little surprised.

Yue Kill usually sees her firmly, and he can't wait to follow her wherever she goes, and he will let her come to Yuchun Tower?

"Or I'm here to look for flowers and ask willows?" Twilight glanced at Yuan Xiu.

Yuan Xiu's eyebrows jumped, and she shook her head speechlessly, she could say this kind of thing when she asked Liu, she really didn't think of herself as a woman!

"I thought you weren't coming!" Ji Yan opened his mouth at this time, with a strange gaze.

Last night's picture was fresh for a while, but now that I look back on it, I always feel that something is wrong. This kid just came to Shengjing, the house was given by the saint, and I haven't heard that he wants to marry a wife, where does he need to use silver money? Since there is nothing to do, what is the purpose of her winning them tens of thousands of taels of silver?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he felt that Xu was thinking too much, when he was in the northwest, he had heard that she was a good gambler, and Lu Da had won three thousand taels when he was recruiting in Jiangnan, and the two did not know each other. It is not uncommon for people who are good gamblers to have itchy hands, but at the moment, there are many things in the court, and he is a little annoyed that he was carried away by the freshness last night.

But regret is useless, the silver has been exported, if this matter is known by the family, I am afraid that it will be another family law, and the only way is to win the money back. Therefore, this morning, he called all the children of Beijing who gambled last night to Wangshan Tower, and made it clear that this matter was at stake, so that none of them could publicize it, and those who had silver went to the house to get some silver, and those who did not have silver went to borrow their friends, in short, they went to Yuchun Tower tonight to win back the lost silver!

This kid has superb gambling skills, he is afraid that he will lose more ugly tonight, so he deliberately went to the palace gate this morning to wait for Brother Yuan to go down in the morning, and asked him to come to Yuchun Tower tonight, if they can't win back, he will ask Brother Yuan to help say that he is agreeable, this kid is his old department, and he will not give face.

Of course, he could directly ask Brother Yuan to persuade her to return all the silver tickets she won last night, but he lost so badly last night that he felt itchy and panicked when he thought about it, and wanted to compete with this kid again! Anyway, Brother Yuan is here, he is not afraid!

"There was a commotion last night, let's gamble in a different way today, do you dare?" Ji Yan said provocatively.

"There is no dare or not, only accept or not." Seeing that there were two chairs in front of the gaming table tonight and the dealer was not there, she knew that Ji Yan wanted to fight with her, so she pulled a chair and sat down, took out all the silver tickets she won last night from her arms and put them on the table, and said, "How do you want to bet, say it and listen." ”

These people have already entered the trap, she won't take the penny out, the money last night was bait, they ate it, and tonight they have a big appetite, but they won't eat it. But whether they want to eat that penny or want to eat these silver tickets, as long as they want to gamble, she can make them sink deeper!

Sure enough, a group of Jingzhong disciples who participated in the gambling last night saw the silver ticket they lost, and their eyes were shining like wolves, and they couldn't wait to snatch it back!

I had too much fun last night, and this morning Ji Yan called them to Wangshan Tower, and they only knew that things were strict, and there was not much silver, but if the family knew, they would be decided! But there is no way, the silver has already been lost, and I can only come back tonight.

Ji Yan said, if you change your tricks tonight, they won't believe it, can this kid always win?

"You're listening, aren't you?" Ji Yan sat down opposite Twilight and asked.

"No, it won't." Twilight said honestly, she can shake the dice, when she was studying abroad, she went to the casino to study micro-expressions on the spot, and practiced for two years, and then returned to China to work, Gu Nishang taught her a variety of skills, in terms of shaking dice, she is a master, but the sound is still a little hot.

"Come less!" Ji Yan didn't believe it, this kid not only knew how to listen, but also had better skills than him, otherwise how could he be fast and accurate last night? Ji Yan smiled and said, "The master is going to bet with you!" ”

She was better than him, and he was more excited.

"How to bet?" Twilight looked still.

"Master shakes the dice, you listen to the size, listen to the right, the master still has silver to lose to you, I can't listen, the silver won last night will be returned to the master!"

"Okay!" Twilight responded in one bite.

"Happy!" Ji Yan smiled and glanced at Twilight Qing deeply, this kid also said that she wouldn't listen, wouldn't she be able to agree so happily?

"But I won't listen, the little grandfather wants to bet with me, I don't want to ruin your fun, so I bet with you, you let me guess, how?" Twilight continued.

"Guess?" Not only Ji Yan was stunned, but the people watching the gambling in the lobby of Yuchun Building were stunned, Ji Yan asked, "How can you guess?" ”

"I don't know how to listen, you have to bet on this, I can only guess, so I ask to guess three times in a game, with the last one as the standard, losing is losing, winning is winning, how?"

Is there anything like this?

There was a lot of discussion in the lobby.

Tonight, the people around the gambling table except for the children of Jingzhong who participated in the gambling last night, the rest of the people were coaxed to come, before they came, they all thought that they were coming to Yuchun Lou for recreation, and only after arriving did they know that many people lost all their money last night, and they came to them in a hurry. It wasn't until the Jiangbei Navy Governor entered the Yuchun Building on Tuesday that they knew who the person who won last night was, and they hadn't seen the gambling game last night, but since she could win, she should be a master, why didn't it sound like it at all tonight?

In fact, gambling money does depend on guessing many times, but guessing gambling has no face, this Beijing middle school kid gambling money, which one doesn't understand but also pretends to understand?

This person is good, she clearly doesn't understand people, and if she wants to guess the bet, she is not ashamed?

But then some people were relieved, although this Tuesday Dan is the governor of Jiangbei Navy, and the official residence is three products, but half a year ago he was still a pariah, and he has such a good face?

Hu Yanhao raised his eyebrows upstairs and rubbed his chin, what kind of tricks is this woman doing? When she was in the dungeon, she could trick him into that white jade road, and he always felt that there must be a trap for her words.

The corners of Yuan Xiu's mouth twitched, and he silently opened his eyes, he couldn't bear to look at Ji Yan, he would lose tonight until there was no robe left.

Twilight looked at Ji Yan and waited for him to agree. He will agree, his psychology is too easy to guess, he lost too badly last night, he always thought that she would listen to sex, and he is also keen on this, the desire to compete with her tonight is very strong, so as long as she agrees to bet on him to listen to sex, as long as it is not too out of line to ask, he will agree. She made it clear that she didn't know how to listen, she had to guess, guess in her heart, guess when she said it, she just asked for three chances, not too much.

To deal with a person with strong desires, we must first satisfy his wishes, and then strive for a slight change in the rules to achieve a goal that is beneficial to oneself, which is the most basic psychological manipulation technique.

"Okay!" Ji Yan thought about it for a while, and then nodded in agreement.

This kid has lost face regardless of guessing, what else can he say? Anyway, he wanted to compare with her, whether she listened or guessed, whether it was a mule or a horse, she would know in a moment!

"That's the go." Twilight Road.

"Good!" Ji Yan took out a thousand taels of silver tickets and put them on the table, saying, "Listen carefully!" ”

Twilight didn't speak, and took out a silver ticket covered with the small seal of the Zhenguo Mansion and pushed it out, Ji Yan saw the small seal, his eyes changed, and he began to shake the dice. He has been messing around in Shengjing City for many years, playing dice is specially practiced, although the fancy is not as exciting as the dealer, but there is also a look, there are cheers around from time to time, Ji Yan eyebrows and the corners of his eyes gradually see a flying look, shook it for a while and put it on the gambling table!

"Guess!" Ji Yan stared at Du Qing, and there was a faint light in his radiant eyes.

Twilight Qing looked at the dice cup, didn't guess right away, it seemed like she really didn't know how to listen, and after looking at it for a while, she looked at Ji Yan uncertainly, and asked, "Small?" ”

She said small in her mouth, and her voice was also small, and bursts of laughter immediately came from her surroundings, and those children in Beijing who were coaxed to come to the rescue all shook their heads and laughed, such a person, how could he win so many silver taels last night?

"Big?" Twilight asked Ji Yan uncertainly.

There was even more laughter around, and I just felt that such a person could win money last night, which was really good luck for eight lifetimes!

Twilight Qing turned a deaf ear to the ridicule, she saw Ji Yan's expressionless face, but the fingers pressing the dice cup tightened slightly, the candle flame on the table shone on his eyes, his pupils dilated a little, and she immediately said, "Big! ”

Everyone looked at Ji Yan, Ji Yan was slightly stunned, stared at Twilight Qing and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

"I'm not sure I've guessed it three times, this is the rule I said before, let's open the cup!" Twilight Road.

As soon as these words came out, everyone nodded frequently and urged.

"Exactly, the rules are good, and if you guess wrong, it's time to open the cup."

"Let's go!"

"Brother Ji, open the cup!"

Ji Yan's eyes gradually became complicated in the urging voice, he opened the dice cup, and threw it aside angrily, when everyone looked at the three dice, he glanced at it and pushed the silver ticket to Du Qing.

There was silence around the table for a long time, and then the pot exploded.

"This, this ......"

"Win?"

"Guess you won?"

Hu Yanhao smiled interestingly upstairs, did he really win?

Yuan Xiu turned his face to the side and forced a smile, he knew how Lu Da lost the three thousand taels at the beginning, what is this called gambling, she is cheating on people at all!

The children who just came to Beijing tonight all think it's luck, and those who lost money last night don't think so, and they all feel strange in their hearts, but they can't tell where they are weird.

"Come again!" Ji Yandao, the weirdness in his heart was even stronger, but he felt more and more that he couldn't see through Dusk Qing. Say she's a master, right? She said she wouldn't listen, she wouldn't, right? She can win!

Whether this game is luck or another mystery, he must figure it out!

"You can do it again, but it's not fun to bet like this." Twilight Road.

"What do you want?" Ji Yan frowned and asked.

Twilight Qing rummaged through the silver tickets she had won last night, took out all of Ji Yan's, put them aside, and said, "There are so many people here, you might as well come and gamble, just start a game with the two of us winning or losing this game." It's still the rules of the game just now, you shake the dice, I guess the size, best-of-three games, let everyone bet to see who of the two of us will win. If I lose, all the money you lost last night is here, and a lot of it will be returned to you. If I win, how about all the money you brought tonight to mine? ”

"Sounds exciting!" Ji Yandao said that betting on the wins and losses of the two of them is indeed much more fun than just gambling.

He knew that he lost too badly last night because he was greedy for excitement and fun, but this kind of thing happened to a person who gambles like a cat encountering a fishy one, and it is uncomfortable not to gamble!

"Master gambled!" Anyway, Brother Yuan is here, and the corruption of the Northwest Army's pension and silver has nothing to do with the Zhenguo Mansion, what is he afraid of?

Ji Yan agreed happily, but the rest of the people couldn't make up their minds, naturally no one wanted to get back the silver they lost last night, but who should they bet on?

The person who gambled last night wanted to bet on Duqing to win, but he was afraid of upsetting Ji Yan. Some of the people who were brought to the rescue tonight wanted to bet on Ji Yan to win, they felt that it was pure luck to guess that she won't win, and Twilight Qing said that she wouldn't listen, and whoever bets on her to win is a fool! But some people think that it is not luck, otherwise how can they explain what happened last night? There are still people who don't want to gamble, but the DPRK is now in an eventful season, and Twilight's identity is really special, so it's better not to gamble. But those who want to gamble also have their own reasons, as an official of the imperial court, it is against the laws of the imperial court to gamble in the Qinglou, and if it is known by the imperial history, it will be impeached! She dared to do this, why didn't they dare to bet?

So a few people who didn't dare to bet retreated, those who dared to gamble, those who wanted to gamble, and after a lot of betting, half of the bets on Duqing to win and those who bet on Ji Yan to win.

Most of the children of Jingzhong who bet on Duqing to win lost money last night, and they glanced at Ji Yan a few times, and saw that he didn't have any unhappy looks, so they were relieved. It's just that one of them surprised everyone, and that person turned out to be Cao Zi'an, who had some grudges against Dusk Qing.

He actually bet on Twilight to win?

Cao Zi'an stood behind Du Qing, glancing at Yuan Xiu, if Yuan Xiu wasn't here, he wouldn't have gambled on a village field to win! Last time he offended Yuan Xiu, he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to make amends, Yuan Xiu didn't see him, his father was angry about it, he had a hard time at home these days, if he stood on Dusk Qing's side tonight, Yuan Xiu saw Xu Neng to forgive him, so that even if he lost money last night, the family would not blame him if he knew.

Everyone has their own thoughts, the gambling game begins, Ji Yan shakes the dice, Dusk Qing guesses the bet, and wins two in three games.

Like the opening game, Ji Yan played a few beautiful tricks and put them on the table!

Twilight still hesitated when she guessed, "Big? Small? ”

"Is it big or small?"

"Small!"

As soon as Twilight's words fell, someone urged, "Hurry up, open quickly!" ”

Ji Yan didn't move, wrinkled his brows and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

"Sure." Twilight said lightly, her expression seemed to be different from the hesitation when she guessed the bet, and she was really sure when she looked at it.

Ji Yan looked at her for a while, and before she opened the cup, the Yan sΓΉ look on her face couldn't hold back, and she laughed out loud, "Haha!" You guessed it wrong! ”

After saying that, he took the dice cup away and put it aside in high spirits, only to feel that the depression in his chest suddenly dissipated, and he finally won this kid once!

There was a buzz behind Twilight, from last night to tonight, I don't know how many rounds of betting, she still lost the first time!

The children of Jingzhong behind Ji Yan smiled proudly, it was really luck just now!

Even Yuan Xiu and Hu Yanhao were stunned, it was the first time they had seen her lose, no matter what it was.

Only the pro-soldier commander behind Twilight Qing lowered his head, looking solemn, but there was a hidden movement in his eyes.

Twilight sat down at the table, staring at her surroundings as if nothing was there, and said, "You just won one game, don't forget our rules, two out of three games." ”

"Master is afraid of you? Come! Ji Yan smiled, shook the dice cup for a while, and put it on the table, "Guess!" ”

"Big?" Twilight guessed again, this time she seemed to be in a hurry to win, but she only guessed this time and said, "Great! Let's go! ”

The sons behind Twilight were in a hurry, why didn't they guess more?

The person behind Ji Yan laughed, "Hurry up!" She guessed it twice herself, but she can't say that we won't let her guess. ”

Ji Yan didn't take the dice cup away until half a morning this time, but he didn't have the smile on his face just now-the result was big, and Twilight won this game.

This time, the mood of the gambler behind the two of them instantly reversed, half happy and half sad.

And the last round.

In the last game, Ji Yan shook very carefully, Twilight Qing looked, his ears were moving, and after putting down the dice cup, he also opened a small slit, glanced at himself, and then said, "Guess." ”

This time, Twilight Qing also looked very cautious, staring at the dice cup for a long time before guessing, "Small? Big? ”

The atmosphere around her was dead and silent, and she determined that the time was unusually long, and she waited for a small half cup of tea before saying, "Small! ”

Looking at her is like gambling on luck, turning her heart sideways and resigning herself to fate. But this time Providence and luck didn't seem to be on her side, and the moment her words fell, Ji Yan jumped up with a red face and laughed: "Haha! Master wins! Master wins! ”

He was so happy that he forgot to open the dice cup, and after a child from Beijing came over to help him open the cup, the sons who bet on Ji Yan to win cheered!

"Win! Get the silver ticket! Ji Yan fished out all the silver tickets he lost last night, he grew so big, he never felt that he cherished thousands of taels of silver tickets so much.

The children of Jingzhong behind Twilight Qing turned pale, is this a game for them? Last night I bet with her, she almost even won their pants, tonight bet on her to win, thinking of winning some silver taels from others to plug the hole she lost last night, why did she lose? Seeing that the silver tickets and the silver he borrowed from his home were both divided among the people who gambled on Ji Yanying, the faces of these children in Beijing darkened.

How good is that? I wanted to win the money back, but the more I lost, the more I lost, and I was afraid that I would lose half my life when I went home!

"You also have times when you lose at the hands of the master, God has eyes!" Ji Yan had eaten the sullenness of Duqing when he was in Fengxian, and he was defeated by her last night, and he won tonight, only to feel that the depression he had thought about after returning from the border pass was swept away, and he was indescribably refreshed.

Hu Yanhao frowned, what's the matter with this woman? If you want to lose, you should lose to him, but you lose to such a little white face! He glanced at Ji Yan's eyebrows, and the more he looked at it, the more gloomy his face became, and he suddenly got up and went downstairs.

When all the children in Beijing saw him, their faces changed, and they dispersed with a hula, Yuan Xiu's face sank, and he blocked in front of Duqing, Hu Yanhao sneered, "This king sent money!" ”

As he spoke, Hu Yanhao threw a purse embroidered with a black eagle on the gambling table, and a few emerald beads rolled out of the skull! Wuhu gold and silver are scarce, but rich in gems, the nobles in Beijing are quite loved, but the wars are frequent, retreat for many years, few caravans come and go to the desert border, things are scarce, these gems are particularly precious in the eyes of the Daxing nobles, and Hu Yanhao threw it on the table and saw that there was a full purse! Look at the color of the emeralds that rolled out, not to mention a thousand gold, even ten thousand gold is worth it!

A group of Jingzhong disciples were all straight-eyed, and Twilight Qing raised her eyes to look at Hu Yanhao, seeing that his face was gloomy, and said: "I have no money to gamble, this king will give it to you, and you are not allowed to lose to this little white face!" ”

Ji Yan's white face turned red, jumped up, rolled up his sleeves, and said loudly: "Who are you talking about!" ”

"Oily head noodles, what is it if it's not a little white face?" Hu Yanhao grinned, his teeth were white, much whiter than Ji Yan's face.

Ji Yan was so angry that Yin Tang was so angry that he laughed angrily, "The young master gambled with the Governor of Yingrui, what happened to the foreigners of King Guandi?" ”

Yuan Xiu's face was not good-looking, with a flick of his ink sleeves, the purse on the gambling table that was as heavy as heavy iron swept towards Hu Yanhao like a broken leaf, Hu Yanhao took it backhand, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the eyes of the two collided in the air, like iron and stone, like a scimitar, heavy, sharp, and the people around him did not dare to make a sound.

Yuan Xiu said: "Yingrui is my Daxing person, and if the money is not enough, King Laodi will not worry. ”

Hu Yanhao didn't let him go, but before he could speak, Du Qing glanced at the two of them coldly and said, "I don't think you guys have good eyes." ”

She only lost Ji Yan's silver tickets just now, and there were still 30,000 taels of silver tickets in her hand, how could they ignore these silver tickets and keep saying that she had no money to gamble?

Yuan Xiu glanced at Du Qing's hand, didn't he see it, wasn't this Hu Yanhao making trouble, didn't he say it in passing?

Hu Yanhao snorted and said, "That's also called money?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of those Jingzhong children who lost money last night were ugly, and the ones they lost were not called money? Does this barbarian dare to be more arrogant?

Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Twilight said coldly, "If you want to see it, shut up!" If you don't want to see it, get out! ”

Yuan Xiu shut up, Hu Yanhao's eyes narrowed, and he felt that Twilight Qingte didn't know what to do.

Bu Xihuan stood behind Twilight, keeping his head half-bowed, not in a hurry or annoyed. He's not in a hurry, he knows that the best is yet to come.

Ji Yan was too lazy to quarrel with Hu Yanhao, sat back at the gambling table and said, "Come on, the master still wants to win you a few more times!" Do you dare to gamble all your wins last night this time? ”

Anyway, he has already won back what he lost, and it is not impossible to be a favor to help a group of wine and meat friends, but Hu Yanhao made trouble, which ruined his mood, and he wanted to play a few more games, but now he will win or lose a game!

The children of Jingzhong who participated in the gambling last night all looked like they had come back from the dead when they heard the words, and some of them just bet on Twilight Qing to win, and they couldn't help but feel ashamed of Ji Yan in their hearts, and they fought behind Ji Yan from behind Twilight Qing.

This time, no one bet on Twilight to win.

Ji Yan said with a smile: "What King Di said just now is not wrong, you look at so many of us, you only have 30,000 taels of silver in your hand, which is not enough." ”

"I've got it here!" Yuan Xiu and Hu Yanhao said in unison.

The corners of Ji Yan's mouth twitched, why did Brother Yuan also get involved?

Twilight ignored the two of them, and said, "I still have a mansion given by the Holy Lord, it's enough to bet on it, right?" ”

Everyone hissed and inhaled when they heard the words, and they all heard about the house, which is in Ludao Lake! Although the house in Sanjin is smaller, the house in Ludao Lake is now not bought with silver, if it is bet, it is indeed worth betting!

Ji Yan was stunned, "Isn't this okay?" If you lose, where do you live? ”

"I can rent a house to live in, anyway, I have to go out of the city to train in three months, and I will live in a military camp at that time, and it will not be of much use for me to keep the house." Twilight Road.

There is some truth in this, but Ji Yan always feels that it is not very kind.

"There is no evidence, can the governor send someone back to get the title deed?" A student from Beijing asked.

When Ji Yan heard this, he frowned, and turned around and said, "What kind of title deed and house deed to take?" The governor is the old department of Brother Yuan, does it still count? ”

As soon as the man heard this, he knew that he was talking too much, so he hurriedly smiled and shut up.

"It's too troublesome to go back and get it, I have no evidence, I can make a note." As she spoke, Twilight called the people from Yuchun Building, and when the pen and ink were brought to the gambling table, she made a note in public. The word is clear, the phoenix dances and the dragon flies, and the children of Beijing around the gambling table are surprised, everyone heard that Twilight Qing is from the village, and no one expected that she could write well!

After the words were established, Twilight put them together with the silver tickets, and said, "Okay, let's start." ”

Ji Yan immediately shook the dice cup, and after putting it down, Twilight Qing guessed twice and confirmed for the third time: "Big! ”

Ji Yan's face was strange, he opened the dice cup, but the number of points was small, he shook his head and smiled: "It seems that you really don't know how to listen, how did you win last night?" ”

This is what he is most puzzled about.

"If you win me this time, I'll sue you. Don't forget, there are two more rounds. Twilight refused to say more until the end, but said, "Remind you, although I bet on the house, but you are also betting on the full net worth tonight, you have to shake it well." ”

"You don't have to worry about this." Ji Yan smiled proudly, as if the victory was in sight, but after putting the dice cup on the table, he still opened a small slit and took a look at it himself.

Twilight Qing saw the slight movement of his eyes, Ji Yan was a little carried away, when he was serious, it would not be wrong to shake the dice and listen to the color, but if he was distracted by something, it might not be. She looked at his expression and judged the size, if he thought it was big and it was actually small, then she lost. So she gave him a psychological hint, everyone in this hall bets on him to win this game, and carrying everyone's expectations will be a little stressful for ordinary people, because he will become unconfident because he can't afford to lose, so he will confirm again and again before opening the cup. What she wants is for him to confirm in advance whether the dice cup is big or small, and then the rest of the matter is simple.

The previous game is just a fake bet, and these two games are real bets.

So, things were so simple that Twilight didn't even guess three times, she guessed big, and saw that Ji Yan's eyes were locked and his neck was stiff, she knew that he was nervous, so she didn't even have to guess if she was small, and said directly: "Big!" Don't guess, let's open the cup. ”

The sons behind Ji Yan began to urge him to open the cup again, and he moved the cup away, and the atmosphere was quiet.

Did you guess right this time?

"It's okay, the last game is also the final win or loss, and the little grandfather doesn't have to take it to heart." Someone comforted, but I don't know if these words are comforting Ji Yan or comforting themselves.

But obviously, such comfort has no effect, and now with one win and one loss, the next game is a game of life and death.

In this game, Ji Yan was under a lot of pressure in his heart, so he secretly opened the dice cup and looked at it twice before he spoke: "Guess it." ”

"Big?" Twilight guessed.

I saw that Ji Yan's neck was so stiff that he wouldn't move at that moment, but after a while, he smiled, yawned, and said as if it were true or false: "Anyway, it's either big or small, Du Du has to think about it, and if you guess wrong, the house will be gone." ”

Twilight was unaffected by his words, his stiff neck was already a typical freezer reaction, and he had just yawned, which showed that he was nervous. People sometimes yawn not because they are sleepy, but also because they are nervous, and yawning when they are nervous is a way to take a deep breath, and more oxygen can relieve tension. Some people will pretend to be seen when they are nervous, but sometimes it backfires and exposes their psychology more.

But Twilight looked like she was influenced by Ji Yan, stared at the dice cup for a long time, and asked uncertainly, "Small?" ”

Ji Yan's face was expressionless, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as this tone was relaxed, I saw Twilight shrug her shoulders and said, "Anyway, it's the last game, and the house is all bet, so you might as well add more." ”

"What else does the Governor have to add?" Ji Yan became vigilant and asked.

Twilight Qing glanced at him and the group of Jingzhong disciples behind him, and said, "There's nothing else to gamble on, just bet on the clothes on your body." ”

Ji Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then reacted and laughed: "I thought I was going to bet on something, it turned out to be clothes!" It's not impossible for the governor to gamble on clothes, but there are so many of us and so many sets of clothes, and the governor only has one set on him, which is not good! ”

"What do you want?"

Ji Yan touched his chin and smiled, "Master don't want anything else, if you lose, leave the dirty pants behind!" ”

As soon as these words came out, two eyes glared at each other, and Yuan Xiu reprimanded in a deep voice: "Nonsense! ”

Hu Yanhao smiled, but the smile was a little hideous, looking like a wolf on the grassland.

Ji Yan was reprimanded a little aggrieved, who told this kid to think that his robe was worn last night? She looked down on him last night, but tonight she proposed to gamble on clothes, with his Ji Yan's style, of course, she wanted to take revenge. Isn't it just a pair of obscene pants? Which man in the army hasn't walked a bird? Brother Yuan has been in the northwest for ten years, he should have gotten used to it, why did he still reprimand him for messing around?

Behind Du Qing, Bu Xihuan looked up at Ji Yan's aggrieved face, and smiled slowly, that smile did not distinguish between joy and anger, but it was meaningful, but it was covered by Yuan Xiu and Hu Yanhao, Ji Yan didn't see it, only heard Du Qing say: "Okay!" ”

Yuan Xiu frowned and turned around!

Hu Yanhao was stunned, the women on the grassland were not as bold as her!

Ji Yanle was happy, the tension just now was diluted by this matter, and he nodded and said, "The governor is really refreshing!" ”

"Great! Let's open the cup! Twilight guessed quite happily, and her voice was categorical at the last chance without hesitation.

Ji Yan's face suddenly turned blue, and he couldn't smile anymore.

The princes were behind him, and they couldn't see his face, they only felt nervous, and they all looked down at Ji Yan. Yuan Xiu and Hu Yanhao stood opposite Ji Yan, but they could see his face clearly, Hu Yanhao laughed, "Little white face lost!" ”

Ji Yan's originally blue face suddenly turned blue and black because of these words, and a group of Jingzhong disciples behind him were shocked, seeing that Ji Yan's hand was still pressed on the dice, he couldn't wait to take his hand away and take a look, maybe it was that Hu Man who deliberately scared them?

"Let's go." Yuan Xiudao, "If you dare to bet, you must dare to open, if you don't dare to open, I will help you." ”

"Who said that the master wouldn't dare?" Ji Yan couldn't stand it, and took the dice cup, "If you lose, you lose!" Isn't it just a family law and a piece of clothing? ”

He has become a good man at this time, but when he saw a group of Jingzhong disciples who lost the game, his face was like ashes, not everyone was the only seedling in the house like Ji Yan, and the door-to-door law was not too heavy, and now he lost this game, he lost all the games, and his clothes were gone when he returned to the house tonight, he would definitely alarm the house, and he would not be disabled at that time?

For a while, before he returned home, everyone in the lobby was wailing, but Cao Zi'an had a blue face. Tonight, he first bet on Duqing to win, Yuan Xiu didn't say anything, and now he has lost again, how can this be good?

Ji Yan looked at Twilight Qing depressedly and asked, "How did you win?" ”

Twilight was busy cleaning up the paper-like silver ticket on the table, and she didn't look up and said, "You lost, so you don't have the right to know." ”

"But I always have the right to know if you lost the previous game on purpose, right?" Ji Yan asked in a deep voice.

He hadn't thought of this at first, but now that he saw Twilight packing up the table full of silver tickets, a strange thought flashed through his heart - these were all the silver taels they had brought! At the beginning of the game, she proposed to open a gambling game with the two of them winning or losing, since it was a gambling game, naturally there were bets on him to win, and there were also bets on her to win, if she won that game, she won only the silver taels in his hand, as for those who bet on the wins and losses of the two of them, their wins and losses are calculated by themselves, and the silver ticket will not reach her at all. But she lost that game, and she also involved those behind her to lose all the silver tickets to their side, and then bet, naturally there was no one behind her, and there was the situation last night, she bet on all of them alone. And tonight is even more ruthless, in just one game, she won all of them!

This result had to make him suspect that she wouldn't have lost the previous game on purpose, right?

The faces of the princes changed, Yuan Xiu and Hu Yanhao also came back to their senses, and the two looked at the thick pile of silver tickets in Du Qing's hand, and then thought about this gambling game, and their hearts suddenly cleared.

Hu Yanhao raised his head and laughed loudly, laughing arbitrarily - she was really cunning like a she-wolf!

Yuan Xiu exhaled a long breath - make him worry in vain!

"Guess." Twilight had already packed up the silver ticket at this time, she stuffed the thick silver ticket into her arms, and said to Ji Yan and the others, "Take off your clothes!" ”

Ji Yan suddenly looked at Yuan Xiu bitterly, "Brother Yuan......"

"Willing to gamble." Before Ji Yan could open his mouth to ask for money, Yuan Xiu interrupted him, he knew what he wanted to ask for, but he also knew that Du Qing was by no means a fan of money, she came to Yuchun Building to gamble eighty percent of the money to investigate the corruption of the Northwest Army's pension silver, which was related to the generals and soldiers in the army, and he could not intercede for Ji Yan.

"But the case of the two banks in the army has nothing to do with the Zhenguo Mansion, Brother Yuan, we are young, you know my grandfather, how can this matter be related to him?" Ji Yan also knew that it was about the Northwest Army, and Yuan Xiu would definitely focus on the officers and soldiers in the army, but it was precisely because he was sure that this matter had nothing to do with the Zhenguo Mansion that he wanted Yuan Xiu to intercede. How his grandfather was an official, Yuan Xiu knew best, he often went to the Zhenguo Mansion when he was a child, and his riding and archery enlightenment was taught by his grandfather!

"It's not related, I'll find out after checking." Twilight glanced at the people in the lobby, took out the silver tickets again, and said in public, "If it has nothing to do with the case of the military pension and the silver two, these silver tickets will be returned in full!" If it's related, then I'm sorry. ”

Related to the corruption case, she will hand it over to Bu Xihuan to be collected and returned to the treasury, and later distributed to the families of the officers and soldiers in the army.

These children in Beijing were not sure that Du Qing came to Yuchun Lou to gamble money to investigate the case, and some people even felt that as an official of the imperial court, gambling money was against the law of the country, so they didn't take it to heart.

"Leave your clothes behind, and you can go." Twilight Road.

The hall was full of silence, and after a while, Ji Yan asked, "Do you really want to be so ruthless?" ”

"Not ruthless." Twilight glanced at him and said, "I don't want dirty pants." ”

Ji Yan's eyes darkened, just now he even wanted her dirty pants, but now she doesn't want it, it is indeed "not ruthless".

"Okay, you kid ......" Ji Yan panted angrily, "Can you leave a big piece for you?" It's a New Year's Day! ”

Twilight Qing had a non-negotiable expression on her face, and just said, "Do you think it's better to run back naked and get a cold, or go back with a big coat, maybe you can't get a cold, but it's better to take a family meal?" ”

Ji Yan was stunned when he heard it, he was the only seedling in the family, and the wind and cold were just a minor illness, but if he was infected, his grandfather would be reluctant to beat him.

These words also made the eyes of many Jingzhong children brighten, and then looked at Twilight's eyes with some deep meaning.

Ji Yan also glanced at Du Qing deeply, didn't say anything, stripped off his robe in public, threw a brocade robe to the ground, and said, "Let's go!" ”

He has been messing around since he was a child, and he has always been known as a child in Shengjing, he is willing to gamble and lose, and the rest of the people have to take off their robes, and leave Yuchun Tower with a blue face, and everyone has no face to look at people when they leave, but Cao Zi'an glared at Duqing hatefully.

This night, three or four watches, a group of noble children wearing obscene pants running on the long street of Flower Street Willow Lane, the scene is spectacular, seeing the snow is big, the small servants in their respective families hurriedly rushed out of the carriage to invite the master to get on the car, but no one got into the carriage, and would rather be infected with the wind and cold than run in the snow, no one knows why, this matter was talked about many years later, and it is still cited as a strange talk in Shengjing.

This night, in addition to strange talks, there are also strange stories. The newly sealed Jiangbei Navy Governor Tuesday Dan gambled in the Yuchun Building, and won a group of gentlemen with only the profane pants, and the name of the God of Gambling spread all over the capital the next day! ――
