The wooden door opened, Xie Ning had just crossed the threshold, and the guy waiting on the side greeted him with a smile, "This girl, are you here to gamble in our Ruyi Fang?" ”

Seeing that Xie Ning nodded briskly, the guy immediately called a woman and introduced Xie Ning: "Girl, let Hongxuan lead you over." ”

"Okay," Xie Ning asked the shopkeeper of Wangxian Tower, knowing the rules of this Ruyi gambling house, and he always had to send someone to serve him. Female guests like her are mostly accompanied by maids in the workshop.

The reason why I came to this Ruyi gambling house was not simply to come to have fun, or out of the psychology of watching the excitement, but to make up my mind to take advantage of this gambling game to earn some silver taels.

It is said that Xie Ning borrowed to live in the Hou Mansion, and there should be no expenses. But Xiang deliberately made things difficult, and the three meals a day sent to her hospital were often cold and rancid leftovers. Fortunately, because the person in the Hou Mansion is now the He family, her life is not so sad.

Xie Ning is not a person who swallows her anger, but she feels that she can still do this little thing, so she doesn't want to make a noise and cause trouble, but has been secretly going out of the house to buy food. Fortunately, she met Aunt Li, a good person, not to mention that the things she sells are affordable and delicious, and she often changes some tricks and makes some pastries and side dishes to sell.

But in this way, she has not spent much savings at the moment, and in the long run, I am afraid that there will not be much money left in her hand. Xie Ning didn't want to sit and eat empty, when she was in Wangxian Tower, she seemed to be chatting with the shopkeeper, but in fact, she was talking from his mouth, the purpose was to know about the famous gambling houses in the capital.

This Ruyi gambling house is not famous outside, it seems to be ordinary, but it is a place where the children of rich families in Beijing often come and go, and it is better to talk about the rules, never owe gambling money, and it is more elegant than other gambling houses, so it attracts many female customers.

Shainin had never been to a gambling house, but she was interested in this way of having fun, especially when she was short of cash.

Passing through the open space in the courtyard, Xie Ning followed the red silk girl into a small three-story building in front of him.

"This is the first time the girl has come, right?"

Looking up at Hongxuan's smiling eyes, Xie Ning touched his nose and asked a little puzzled, "How do you see that?" ”

Hongxuan smiled slightly, but avoided answering, and instead introduced the various gambling games in the workshop to Xie Ning, which made her gain a lot of knowledge.

The first floor is a place to exchange bets, and the price of a chip for a dime of silver makes Xie Ning secretly smack his tongue, so he has to go upstairs to see what is going on first, and then make a plan.

As early as on the stairs leading to the second floor, Shainin heard one exclamation and lamentation after another. Thinking about this gambling house, no matter how elegant it is, once it involves winning or losing, everyone is still inevitably excited.

The view from this upstairs is not as wide as from the first floor, but the place is more than twice as large. In addition to a bright hall, there are also several wings that require five taels of silver before entering.

Without curiosity to look at the movement in the wing, Xie Ning actually chose to wander around the outer hall. I saw a silk curtain dividing the hall in half, the west side was used to fight pai gow, and the east side was rolling dice.

After observing for a while, Xie Ning decisively gave up the idea of fighting pai gow, not because he couldn't understand it, but because the dice on the east side were faster, and he had more appetite for her in comparison.

made up his mind, but Shainin did not bet easily, but gathered at the nearby table.

Just in time for a new round of guessing dice, Xie Ning congratulated himself on his good luck and watched it with interest.

I saw the guy standing at the back of the table holding up the dice cup with his hand, and after showing it to everyone, Fang closed the lid and shook it heavily, and put it on the table again.

Because he had asked Hongxuan before, Xie Ning knew that they were gambling on the size. There are three dice in the small dice cup, and if the number of points is increased by ten, it is called big, and vice versa, and the bet wins.

Because of the simplicity of the gameplay, there is naturally not much money that can be won in one game. If you bet on a chip, you can get an extra dime of silver if you guess it, but if you don't guess it, the chips bought by the dime of silver will be lost and will go to the dealer.

"Bet big and bet small, you are optimistic."

"Buy and leave!"

After a few shouts, the guy standing at the back of the table watched the guests around him finish betting one by one, and then showed the points in the dice cup.

After a game of betting, there are winners and losers. Xie Ning didn't pay attention to the movement around him, but stared at the three dice in the cup, and his heart jumped violently.

She could tell the number of the dice by listening!

It was easy to suppress his excitement, Shainin did not impulsively run to bet, but continued to stay where he was, confirming his accuracy in identifying the dice.

"You girl, you've been standing for so long, whether you gamble or not. Either come and place your bets or just hurry up and leave. ”

An impatient urging, accompanied by a pushing and shoving action, made Xie Ning suddenly come back to his senses, and raised his head to face a fierce face. She deliberately chose a table with few gamblers, just because she was afraid of delaying others to place bets, but she didn't think that she was still picked by this middle-aged man.

The other party was obviously deliberately looking for trouble, but Xie Ning didn't have the heart to worry about him, but took advantage of no one to pay attention, quietly took out a piece of broken silver from his belt that he had tucked in the morning, turned around to look for the red silk in the field, and asked her to help exchange the chips.

She didn't know that she could have such an opportunity to act casually today, and later she entered the gambling house just with the idea of trying her luck, but she didn't expect that with her deaf ears and eyes, she could guess the points correctly in ten.

This is not a single size, but a separate number of points for each dice, which makes Shainin have to be excited. She has a dozen taels of silver hidden on her, if she throws them all in—

Xie Ning's head was hot, and when she looked at the gambling table, she seemed to see countless white flowers of silver, but she suddenly thought of another thing, which made her suddenly extinguish the impetuousness in her heart.

She was sure that she could guess the points, but if she continued to play them one by one, the dealer behind the gambling house did not know how much money she would lose. Although she is embarrassed at the moment, this gambling is also ill-gotten gains, and it is better to take less.

Therefore, Xie Ning knew that there was a huge profit behind this, but he only bought two chips, and planned to make a few taels of silver and stop it.

"Girl." Most of the people in this gambling house were young men and women, and the environment was not noisy, and Xie Ning could hear the call of Hong Xuan without difficulty.

Taking the chips from her hand, Xie Ning didn't stay too long, and returned directly to Fang Cai's table.

"Ahem... Ahem..."

Hearing this familiar cough, Xie Ning, who was about to place a bet, moved in his heart, and when he looked up, he saw two more figures on the opposite side, a six or seven-year-old boy with a jade-faced young man.

The man's complexion was pale, and he occasionally clenched his hands into fists to hide the light cough that overflowed from his throat. It's not the white-clothed boy she has seen in the roadside tea house, who is it! I saw that he was wearing a dark green robe today, less cold when he first saw him, but he still did not lose the nobility on his body.

After being slightly stunned, Xie Ning put down the chips in his hand. When he looked up again, he happened to meet the man's gaze.

I don't know if the other party still remembers him, Shainin didn't go up to the same set recklessly, but simply nodded, and then naturally looked away.
