The next morning, when I returned to the inn, Hui'an had already gone out.

Red Boy sat alone in the room drinking tea, the teacup between his fingers, steaming and fragrant, seeing him so elegantly tasting tea, it was really hard to believe yesterday's domineering personality.

I stood in the doorway and coughed. The red boy showed that bright and sunny smile again, "Why are you here now, I'm waiting for you." ”

When I think of the room grabbing with him yesterday, my face is very ugly.

"What's the matter? I went up to the roof early in the morning to look for you, and you're not there. ”

"Red Boy," I asked, a little frustrated, "would you feel guilty if I said I had nowhere to go last night?"

"How so?" he laughed again, "the earth is big, and where is not your place, haven't you long been accustomed to the barren mountains and mountains, and the branches and roofs of the trees?"

I also wondered why I would ask that, if Hui'an didn't book an inn, I would indeed perch on a branch in the wild.

But I want to know what Red Boy thinks, I always feel that he is too proud and arrogant, so such a handsome person is missing some of the fundamentals of being kind to others, right?

"Are you still going?" Seeing that I was in a daze, he urged on the side, he had already become the sour Xiucai from yesterday, and was looking at me in full gear.

We come to "Joyful".

Because yesterday's silver was mixed into the stones, the owner of the gambling house was extra careful today, and strictly checked the people who entered the gambling house, and everyone who wanted to enter had to take out the silver taels he carried with him to visit.

The red boy just showed a gold ingot, and a few pairs of eyes at the door passed, "Please, please!"

It is true that the gambling house was not affected by the fire, and everything is still the same as yesterday.

Red Boy spun around and did nothing, as if he didn't bother to mess with these loose gamblers.

"Where's your boss?" Red Boy asked the man.

The guy almost just squinted at him out of the corner of his eye, "The boss is very busy, if you want to gamble, have fun, if you don't gamble, go home and listen to your mother's teachings to study hard." "Red Boy Xiucai's poor and sour appearance really doesn't look like a gambler.

I only heard a crisp slap on the guy's face, and he was stunned, "Who hit me?" looked around, and really didn't find anyone hitting him, so he had to touch his face in annoyance.

Red Boy remained silent, "The stakes on this table are too small, I want to bet a little bigger with the boss." As he spoke, he found five ingots of gold, "Not enough." ”

The guy didn't expect the red boy to look poor and sour, but he was generous, and he hurriedly went to call the boss.

The boss frowned when he saw the image of the red boy, "Scholar, if you want to bet with me, don't blame me for not reminding you, you have to cry and cry your mother when you lose here, and you have to go if you lose your life, don't regret it." ”

"No regrets. "How could the red boy regret it?

"What do you want to bet on?" we were ushered into a small, spacious room with an ornate table in the middle, and a VIP room in the Ancient Senses.

"Win or lose quickly, anything. Red Boy said.

The boss saw that he was calm and relaxed, and was a little suspicious, "How much capital do you have?"

The red boy took out ten ingots of gold, "Bet on these first." ”

The boss took out one and bit it in his mouth, confirming that it was true, "Okay, how about betting on odds and evens? ”

"Yes. ”

The guy pulled out a wooden box with wooden particles the size of the same color. It turns out that this odd and double is not to shake the dice to guess the number odd and even, but to scatter a lot of wood particles in the middle to see the number of odd and even.

I'm a little dumbfounded, it seems that the gods can't see so many particles at once, right?

After the gambling game began, Red Boy didn't enter the state at all, just guessed with his temperament, but the owner of the gambling house was very proficient, and the guessing rate was much higher than that of Red Boy, and in less than a few rounds, Red Boy lost five gold ingots.

I'm sweating on my forehead, red boy, are you okay?

The owner of the gambling house was quite proud, and at first he looked at the vigilant eyes of the red boy, and he also became light.

Red Boy took out the remaining five ingots of gold, "It was just a warm-up, now let's make a bet." ”

The boss didn't object either, and this time there were many more particles scattered than the last time.

I suddenly saw a strange phenomenon, there are 10 villains dancing on the particles, every 10 particles jump, never repeat, when there are less than 10 left, only 2 villains continue to dance, and at the end of the jump there is a single one, then these particles should be singular. It turns out that the villain is the spell cast by the red child.

The boss can't see these with the naked eye, and he naturally loses this game.

The red boy won back the gold, and found ten more ingots, a total of twenty ingots, and told the boss that it was still a bet.

This time, the boss's gambling nature was hooked, and he promised: "Okay!"

The red boy concocted the same method, and counted out that it was a "double", but the boss also guessed the double, and then I saw that the last two little people who danced had a particle under their feet suddenly disappeared, and the little man was caught off guard and fell, and the particles became singular. There are so many that you don't see one out of thin air, and you can't even notice it.

We won twenty ingots of gold at once. The boss was not happy, "Come again!" he said proudly.

At this moment, the hall outside was bustling and noisy.

"What's the matter?" was in the middle of the gambling, and the boss was very impatient when he heard the noise.

The guy went out to investigate, and reported back: "The emperor posted the emperor's list, saying that from now on, all unmarried women between the ages of 15 and 23 must enter the palace to meet them, and there must be no mistakes, and if they do not report the situation within three days, the whole family will be punished according to law." Brother Guan also came to report just now, so when he heard the news, everyone who had a girl in the family panicked and went back to report the news, so it was noisy. ”

The boss was so noisy, he was not interested, and he suddenly felt bored.

The red boy also took it when he saw it, picked up the gold and got up to say goodbye. The boss's face was very depressed, "Next time you come, let's take a good gamble." ”

Walking to the street, I saw the emperor list posted everywhere, and the emperor list painted a full-body portrait of a young woman.

The people who looked at the emperor list left and right pointed at the image and talked about it, and I stood inside and listened for a long time before I figured it out.

It turned out that the old emperor died some time ago in this country, and a new young monarch was established. The new monarch has several concubines, but he is unwilling to establish a queen. The Queen Mother was anxious, thinking that you could not have a queen, and urged from time to time. About two months ago, the new monarch dreamed of the woman in the portrait every night, very concerned, the night before was even more peculiar, the woman also left a string of beads, left at the head of the new king's bed early in the morning, so he decided that this was providential, indeed there is a person, and wanted to be the queen, so early in the morning issued an imperial list order for young women in each city to enter the palace after local screening.
