Chapter Forty-Nine: A Penny, Bet All Your Silver Tickets!
79_79301There are eight screens standing in front of the lobby of Yuchun Building, and when Twilight and the turtle slave are chatting at the door, the sons inside are gambling and are in good spirits, and they don't see her. At this time, seeing that she seemed to come from the staircase, all the sons thought that she had already come.
Before Cao Zi'an could react, his eyes lit up, he smiled, and said, "I think you kid is so upright, you like this place of fireworks after a long time." ”
That son's pine ink brocade robe, jade flour lips, and a delicate and noble atmosphere, Du Qing is no stranger to him, it is Ji Yan, the little grandfather of the Zhenguo Mansion who was dismissed from his post in Feng County, Yuezhou, for sleeping at night.
Ji Yan's former head of the guard of the Yihe Regiment was originally to get some credit, but he lost his position as Long Wuwei because of dereliction of duty, and after returning home, he provoked the anger of the Zhenguo Gong, and he also beat him hard, and because Bu Xihuan made a holy decree at that time to think about him at home after returning to Beijing, he didn't go to the poetry meeting a few days ago. It's almost the Shangyuan Festival now, he just lifted the ban yesterday, and tonight he went to Yuchun Building to relieve his boredom, but he didn't expect to meet Dusk Qing.
"I'm not interested in the land of fireworks, I'm here for the silver." Twilight Road.
"Come on! If you don't have any money, go to the gambling house, and come here to do something! Ji Yan smiled like a fox, looking like I understood, the thief came over and turned Duqing with his elbow, squeezed his eyebrows and asked, "You haven't opened the meat yet, have you?" This Yuchun Lou master often comes, there are girls with a lot of tricks, if you want to taste the taste, give you a pointer, and make sure you don't want to go to court tomorrow! ”
Twilight Qing glanced at Ji Yan lightly, when she was in Fengxian because of Li Ben's case, Ji Yan had a conflict with her, but this person seemed to have no heart and lungs, and Long Wuwei didn't care if he lost his position, and he didn't hold a grudge when he had a conflict with her, but he didn't know each other, no wonder Yuan Xiu treated the children of Jingzhong more alienated, but he was okay to treat.
"How can anyone in the gambling house have any money?" Twilight said lightly.
Ji Yan was stunned for a while when he heard this, and then laughed, "This is the truth!" I believe it! ”
At this time, Cao Zi'an gradually came back to his senses and sneered: "Naturally, it's the truth, only with the gold and silver rewarded by the saint, I'm afraid that the governor won't be able to touch the bedside of the girl in Yuchunlou." ”
Ji Yan laughed and glanced at Cao Zi'an strangely, "Cao Gongzi is not short of silver, and he doesn't seem to have touched the bedside of the person he wants to touch." ”
The princes laughed, Cao Zi'an's face turned red, but not surprisingly, Ji Yan admired Yuan Xiu the most, Yuan Xiu called him the eldest brother when he didn't go to the northwest, and he naturally protected Yuan Xiu's old department.
"Just now Cao Gongzi said, if you have the ability, you can see how much you can win, what does this count?" Twilight asked.
"Nature counts!" Cao Zi'an has lost face in front of the children of Beijing because of the matter of the poetry club, and if he breaks his promise again, he will not be able to raise his head even more, and he will naturally speak his mind. And he didn't want to break his promise, he was kicked out of the other courtyard by Yuan Xiu because of Dusk Qing, tonight was the opportunity to send him to the door, how could he let it go?
"It's just that I don't know how many taels of silver the governor has to bet with me?" Cao Zi'an sneered.
Twilight put her hand in the placket of her clothes and began to touch, touch and touch, Cao Zi'an saw that she refused to take it out for a long time, and the mockery deepened. She was born in the village, but she set up some military merits at the border pass and was awarded a military position, and her family background was only a little gold and silver rewarded by the saint, and the most she could take out was a silver ticket of a thousand taels of denominations.
All the princes also stared at Du Qing's hand, guessing that she might be able to take out the 1,000 taels of gold tickets rewarded by the saint because she didn't want to be underestimated by Cao Zi'an.
When Twilight took her hand out of her shirt, everyone at the table held their breath, and even Ji Yan waited intently. But when they saw Twilight's hand, everyone was stunned - she held it in her hand, she couldn't see what was in her fist, but she didn't want to look like it was a silver ticket.
Twilight walked over to the table with a blank face and slapped her hand on the table in full view!
Syllable!
There was a crisp sound from under the palm, and the stinging made the eyebrows of those who heard it jump!
Everyone stared at Twilight Qing's hand with a blank expression, and saw that she took her hand away, and there was a copper plate in a pile of thousand taels of silver tickets on the gambling table.
The copper coin is too eye-catching, the children of the nobles in Beijing are born with gold and jade, and even the slaves who follow around them do not make copper coins, looking at the gambling table, their eyes are a little strange.
The copper coin also pierced the dealer's eye, since the opening of Yuchun Building, no one has ever used copper coins, and it is still a penny!
For a penny, I can't even buy a bun in Shengjing City, so I used it to gamble in Yuchun Building?
"The governor wants to gamble a thousand taels for a penny?" Cao Zi'an stared at the copper coin, and only found his voice when he was about to become cross-eyed, only to feel the blood surging above his head.
That's too much to look down on him!
"You think too highly of yourself." Twilight Qing glanced at Cao Zi'an lightly and said, "A penny, bet all the silver tickets on you!" ”
Cao Zi'an's eyes were dark, a mouthful of blood almost spit out, and he gasped for a long time before he said angrily: "The governor is here to smash the field, right?" ”
"Less nonsense, dare to bet?" Twilight was too lazy to quarrel, so she only provoked.
Before Cao Zi'an could respond, the competitiveness of a group of children in Beijing had been aroused, and Twilight Qing was obviously calling Cao Zi'an, but a bunch of people responded to the battle.
"Bet!"
"Cao Zi'an, do you dare to bet, don't dare to come!"
"The governor seems to have very high gambling skills, and the master is not bad, and the master really wants this copper coin!"
Sheng Jing's children are fun, they have played all kinds of tricks, and when it comes to gambling, there are a lot of gambling things, gold and silver beauty, antique jade play, and field house shops, all of which are gambling, even the gambling contracts of the living spring palace and other tricksters, and all the valuable and exciting ones have been gambled, but they have never gambled on such a low gambling contract!
A penny!
I've seen a penny, but it's so big, let alone spent, they've even touched it!
On weekdays, I feel that things are lowly, but tonight I only feel strange, and there is Twilight's sentence "Bet all the silver tickets on you for a penny", I only feel strange and exciting, everyone knows that it is not fair to gamble a penny for a thousand taels at all, but the children of Sheng Jing don't care about fairness, they only care about novelty and excitement, so they all want Twilight's penny!
Ji Yan rubbed his fists, stared at the copper coin, and said with a smile: "This thing is interesting!" If anyone wins this penny, Ming'er will definitely take a red rope and tie it, and shout all over the street that this is a penny lost by the Governor of Yingrui in the Yuchun Building, and he is guaranteed to call the Governor all over the capital! ”
A group of children from Beijing laughed and thought it was funny!
Twilight nodded and said, "Well, whoever wants to be famous in the capital, let's come together." ”
She wanted to bet with Cao Zi'an tonight, and use Cao Zi'an as bait to lure a group of people to take the bait, but now it seems that she really thinks highly of these gentlemen, they are more interested in having fun than a qiē, and they don't even need to fish, they will automatically bite the hook.
The gambling table in front of you is set up to bet on the size of the game, since it is a group gamble, then it is still on this gambling game, by the dealer to shake the dice, everyone buys the size, bet to leave.
Twilight glanced at the table and said, "Since you want to gamble in a group, you might as well set a rule." ”
Ji Yan asked, "What rules?" ”
"Since you all want to bet with me, you might as well be in groups, I will be in a group alone, you will be in a group, and you will discuss when you bet."
This rule is very simple, that is, after the gamble, no matter whether they buy big or small, they must buy the same, for example, they buy big, and she buys small, so that they can distinguish the winner and loser between them and her. This rule is not fair at all, if she wins, she can win the silver ticket of a group of them alone, and if she loses, a group of them will share her money.
But the more this is the case, the more fresh and interesting these gentlemen feel.
I don't care if I gamble a penny with a thousand taels of silver tickets, but I still care about a group of people sharing a penny?
But someone didn't know how to divide it, so he immediately asked: "If the governor loses, and so many of us win you, who will you give this money to?" ”
Twilight said: "Take a sword and split it, one by one." ”
Princes: "......"
Ji Yan laughed so hard that his stomach hurt, he just felt that why did he almost fight with her in Fengxian in the first place? This man is obviously a living treasure! He hugged his stomach and said, "Okay, okay!" Later, if I win, I will take a red rope and tie a piece of copper coin to the street, saying that this is from a penny of the Governor of Yingrui, and the governor has no money, only this penny, not enough to lose, so I split. ”
The princes laughed for a while, and they felt excited when they thought about the scene, and they all responded to this rule and urged them to gamble.
The dealer of Yuchun Lou has never encountered this kind of gambling game, and the twilight bet is too little, so little that it is unheard of, and it is said that it is impossible to gamble, but the children of Shengjing led by Ji Yan, the little grandfather of the Zhenguo Mansion, are interested, and the dealer naturally does not dare to sweep their interest, so he has to shake the dice cup with a smile.
After playing a few tricks in his hand, the dealer shook the dice loudly, won a few applause, and put it on the table!
Ka!
His voice was heavy, and the children in Beijing looked at the dice cup, and before they could discuss buying big or small, they saw that Twilight picked up the copper plate and decisively put it down! She put it too fast, and didn't give them time to discuss it at all, and a group of sons were a little confused, since Twilight Qing bought a small one, they could only buy a big one, so everyone took out a silver ticket and put it on the big one.
I bought and left, only to see that one side of the gambling table was a copper plate, and on the other side was a dozen large silver tickets, the gap was so big that the dealer's eyelids twitched, and before the cup was opened, there was sweat on his forehead.
He knows the number of points in the cup.
Small!
Since he is on an errand in front of the dealer, he is naturally a master of shaking dice, and he knows whether the dice cup is big or small when he listens to the sound, otherwise he can't afford to be on the errand of this Yuchun Building.
He knew that the number of points in this cup was small, and now there was a question before him - just open like this, or out of thousands.
He can afford this errand, and naturally he has another ability, that is, to be a thousand. There are thousands of ways to get out, the simplest is to take the edge of the cup and touch the dice inside at the moment of opening the cup, and turn the dice over. This craft is fast, he is a master of this way, but tonight I don't know if I want to go out of a thousand.
If it came out, this game that should have been won by Yingrui Dudu would have lost, but she lost a penny, which was not enough to pay money to Yuchunlou, if she lost this game, Yuchunlou would not have made any money. But if they don't come out, these sons will lose, and I'm afraid they will be unhappy.
In a dilemma, Twilight glanced at the dealer and had a strange thin knife in her hand, she put it in her hand and played, "Do you see my knife?" I have killed many Hu people in the desert, and one hand is very sharp. ”
The dealer was shocked, knowing that this was a threat, and subconsciously opened the cup when he was frightened.
As soon as the cup opened, the entire Yuchun Building seemed to be quiet.
The children of Jingzhong led by Ji Yan looked at the dice cup, and everyone's eyes were straight.
This, this......
They actually lost?!
In the private room on the second floor, Bu Xihuan looked at the gambling table at the window, bowed his head and smiled deeply.
Seeing that she is cold and upright on weekdays, she is also a ruthless character when she pits people.
Twilight slowly put away the pile of silver tickets and counted them in her hand.
It's not enough, it's just the beginning.
