Chapter 18 Allure Pai Gow

Xia Lanqiu's voice was sent into her ears like a sea breeze: "The main master hasn't shown up yet, let's not be in a hurry!" Ziyu didn't know who he was talking about, and was about to ask, but he heard him say again: "Maybe tonight, there will be a gambling game." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Bet on what? The right to build the Wharf in Selange? ”

Minzhou is near the sea and has many harbors. Weiliang Port is located in the southeast of Minzhou and is one of the best harbors in Minzhou, but it is very difficult to build a wharf due to geographical factors. In the past, Huaxia did not have such talents and technology, so it was shelved; In addition, the government of the former dynasty closed off the country, believing that the construction of the wharf was just to provide convenience for foreigners and more imported goods. But now it's different, almost all of the first batch of people to study abroad have come back to serve the motherland, and a large number of pillars of talent are waiting to be used to show their strength. Moreover, at this time, Minzhou City is different from the past, and the small fishing village in the past is no less prosperous than the world-famous cities such as London and Paris.

Xia Lanqiu nodded: "Not only the right to build, but also the right to operate for ten years." ”

"Ten years?" Ziyu was surprised, and her voice couldn't help but rise slightly.

Xia Lanqiu held her hand and squeezed it gently, her voice seemed to murmur: "That's why it can't fall into the hands of outsiders." Zi Yu was already in turmoil in her heart, and she couldn't care about his rude behavior, she really couldn't imagine that such an important event would be decided by a game of gambling like a child's play. Xia Lanqiu paused and said, "The gambling masters they invited tonight are probably going to board the ship." ”

Ziyu subconsciously asked, "What about you?" ”

"Me?" Xia Lanqiu didn't seem to expect her to ask such a question, so she was stunned for a moment before saying, "I believe in myself more!" ”

"Are you sure?"

"I'm not sure I'm going to go!" His voice was like a sigh and a helplessness.

Ziyu didn't know what to say for a while, but she heard Xia Lanqiu whisper in her ear: "What? Worried I'll lose? The tail note went up, like a tone of love and laughter, and Zi Yu's ears turned red in an instant.

Xia Lanqiu saw it in her eyes and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't lose you!" Ziyu suddenly turned her head to glare at him, and his gaze went straight into her eyes.

Ziyu lost her mind for a moment, and then lowered her head to find the topic: "What are you betting on?" ”

"Pai Gow."

The Yun family's tutor is used to being very strict, and the children are not allowed to touch these things, except for sometimes playing leaf cards with her mother, she can't even play mahjong, but she has heard what the next person said, "Supreme Heaven and Earth and Lord, Mei Changban axe bottle six or five." Miscellaneous nine, eight, seven, five pairs of complements, the sky and the earth are counted from nine. ”

When she was young, she thought it was a nursery rhyme, and then she learned to read it, but then she was scolded by her father, and she didn't dare to read it anymore.

After thinking about it, she asked, "I've heard that Pai Gow gambling is not good, and you can lose a city overnight, is it true?" ”

"It's true." Xia Lanqiu thought for a moment and said: "There is a loophole in Pai Gow, called the Gate of Life and Death, and if you master this skill, you don't need to go out of thousands to kill the Quartet. Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something, "But even if you win the game, you can't calculate people's hearts." Of course, that's a joke about Noshi. ”

He originally said that, but Ziyu asked with interest, "Oh? What kind of wild history is it? ”

"It is said that thirteen years ago, there was a mutiny in Qianyang, and its root cause was a game of cards. Bian Zhengrong, who was still in the position of president at that time, had nothing to do, and asked a few people to play pai gow, and the participants were his son Bian Mingfei, son-in-law Wei Lan, and two deputy generals. President Bian Da sits in the village. At that time, Bian Zhengrong joked that if anyone wins in the game, his position will be his/her in the future......"

This is the first time in so many years that Ziyu has heard about the old things thirteen years ago, and she can't help but feel cold in her hands and feet, and her voice is unconsciously tight: "Who won?" ”

"Yu Lan." Without the slightest suspense, the answer was laid out in front of him.

"At that time, the Beihua government had five route armies: tiger lion, tiger wolf, tiger leopard, tiger fox, and tiger shark, and their commander was called the five tiger generals. The Tiger and Lion Army led by General Wei Lan has always been invincible, and at that time, Wei Lan was powerful and famous in the army, and he had a faint degree of merit. However, Bian Zhengrong is also a person who loves talents, and he still loves this son-in-law very much, and that gambling on pai gow was originally a joke, but his son Bian Mingfei believed it, how could he still tolerate Captain Lan to live in this world......"

Before he finished speaking, Zi Yu suddenly stirred up Lingling and shivered. Xia Lanqiu immediately stopped talking: "What's wrong?" ”

Yun Ziyu's face turned pale, rubbing his arm to drive away the cold, and he whispered after a while: "It's a little cold here." ”

"Then let's go back." Xia Lanqiu tightened her shawl and hugged her to the cabin. As soon as he took a few steps, Tokugawa greeted him: "Xia San, we caught a lot of fish today and made sashimi, do you want to dine together?" ”

Xia Lanqiu smiled politely and blocked her behind with half of her body: "No, thank you!" My wife is not used to sashimi. ”

"That's a shame." Tokugawa spread his hands, as if he was about to say something, when he heard a hearty voice in the distance laughing, and said in an awkward Chinese: "Oh, dear Natsu, I'm so glad to see you!" ”

A tall, chestnut-haired man strode over and hugged Xia Lanqiu warmly. He was really tall, half a head taller than Xia Lanqiu. After hugging, Xia Lanqiu punched him in the chest: "Albert, if you call me dear Xia again, I will throw you down to feed the shark, do you want to try?" ”

Albert waved his hand repeatedly: "You're kidding, right?" You haven't introduced this beautiful lady to me yet! ”

Xia Lanqiu took her hand and said, "This is my wife, stay away from her!" "Talking so casually, I can see that the friendship is good.

Albert immediately bowed his hand and greeted Ziyu, while saying, "Xia, you are really blessed to marry such a beautiful wife." His antics made Ziyu laugh, and the depression just now immediately dissipated a lot.

When the two of them entered the cabin, they heard Albert asking behind them: "Xia, help me ask your wife, do you have a sister?" ”

When she entered the house, Xia Lanqiu really asked her: "Rumors, do you still have a sister?" ”

"What for?" Ziyu instinctively felt that he wouldn't say anything nice.

Sure enough, I heard Xia Lanqiu jokingly: "I want to marry both of you, so that I can enjoy the blessings of all people and make others envious......" Before he finished speaking, Ziyu grabbed a pillow on the bed and threw it over.
