Yue Feiyun said coldly: "You are also worthy!" Get out of the way! ”

Wei Han smiled and asked, "Who are you?" Do you have good goods in your hands or do you know where to go for fun? ”

The young man in green smiled and said, "Childe is an expert, I just happen to know a place where there are eating, drinking, playing and beautiful women, how many are you interested?" ”

Yue Feiyun said categorically: "I'm not interested." ”

Wei Han patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Feiyun, as the saying goes, people are not good, why don't we go and take a look?" ”

The young man in green said continuously: "A few people are satisfied. ”

Wei Han approached the green-clothed young man and lowered his voice: "Where are you talking about, is there a code or something?" We'll go after dinner. ”

The voice of the young man in green was even lower: "The cyclamen painting boat, this is a token. As he spoke, he shoved something that looked like a hand card into Wei Han's hand, and then he went to chase after his companion who had already walked downstairs.

The three of them came to the private room, and it wasn't until they finished ordering the food that the guy left Yue Feiyun and asked, "Wei Han, what are you doing, I remember that you don't gamble." ”

Wei Han smiled slightly: "Of course I don't gamble, the Wei family's family law is very strict." ”

Yue Feiyun said: "But they obviously pulled us to gamble, but you?" ”

Wei Han said: "Actually, I saw it early in the morning, their swords have the mark of the cyclamen gambling house, and the reason why I talked is because I have been tracking down one thing recently, and the clue points directly to the owner of this gambling house. ”

Xia Chen said disapprerovingly: "So you want to pretend to be a gambler and go deep into the tiger's den to find out?" "People who can open gambling houses naturally have some background, especially in places like Anyang. There will definitely be some money * power transactions involved, and it is not strange for Wei Han to find out about him.

Wei Han said: "Yes, are you interested in going together?" ”

Xia Chen shook his head: "I don't think I'm strong enough. I'm afraid of falling in. "She didn't want to go to that kind of place where dirt was hidden.

Yue Feiyun said: "I'm also afraid that stealing chickens won't lead to rice again." ”

Wei Han raised his eyebrows: "The more this is the case, the more you should accompany me, are you my friends or not." ”

Yue Feiyun said with a smile: "After eating a handful of rice, it's gone, but you can often invite me to eat and drink." ”

Xia Chen sighed: "Anyway, I'm idle, it's not bad to see the excitement." She was really a little curious about what the ancient gambling house was like, and she might have seen many different people.

Wei Han smiled: "I knew you were righteous enough. ”

At this time, the guy brought up the wine and food, Xia Chen directly poured a glass and looked at it for a while, and took a small sip.

Wei Han was a little strange: "When did Chen'er kiss wine like this?" ”

Xia Chen found that this wine was not as mellow as the two jars that Shopkeeper Lu gave her. But judging from the color and taste, it is definitely the same formula as that champion red, but she doesn't plan to talk to Wei Han about these things. So he prevaricated: "Just because the name of this wine is special, I want to see how fragrant this wine is." ”

Yue Feiyun took a sip: "Sure enough, it's good wine." ”

Wei Han tasted it but frowned: "The spicy breath is so impulsive, it would be nice if Chen Shang was three or five years old." ”

Yue Feiyun smiled: "I just like spicy food." ”

Xia Chen suddenly remembered something: "Wei Han, let's go to the painting boat to play in a while." You have to have some silver, right? ”

Wei Han smiled: "You don't have to worry about this. Recently, I often go out with King Hailing, and naturally I have a lot of silver tickets on me, although two thousand taels is not a high roller, but it is a lot. ”

Xia Chen pursed his lips: "There is a way to eat and wear endlessly, but if you get involved in gambling, you can have a lot of money and lose it in a blink of an eye." ”

Wei Han was a little surprised: "Why are you the same as what my father said?" ”

"Ahem, such a coincidence?" Xia Chen really choked a lot.

Wei Han said: "The first rule of the Wei family's ancestral training is that gambling is not allowed. By the way, Chen'er, I accidentally learned something when I was checking the cyclamen casino. ”

Xia Chen snorted: "Don't sell Guanzi. ”

"Oh, your cousin seems to have a lot of gambling debts."

Xia Chen was not surprised at all. While eating, he said: "Since I saw him and Yan Shiming's gang mixed together, I knew that it was only a matter of time before he was in debt." But I thought he would owe the wind * the flow of debts first. Speaking of this, he suddenly said, "It must be that you have been too busy lately to be with them." ”

Wei Han was stunned: "Why did you pull it on me again." ”

Yue Feiyun looked at Xia Chen: "It's your cousin who owes the debt, you don't seem to care?" ”

Xia Chen said: "It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, and no one can stop him if he wants to bet." ”

Yue Feiyun smiled bitterly: "That's right, but the debt collector will probably collect it from you." ”

Xia Chen smiled slightly: "I don't believe that a four-rank general would run away because his son owes gambling debts." ”

Wei Han said: "Chen'er, what he owes is not a small amount, if your uncle wants to pay off this account, I am afraid that he will sell most of the Xia family's land, it stands to reason that you are the grandson of the Xia family, and those should be yours." ”

Xia Chen smiled extremely brightly: "He can sell it!" By the way, Wei Han and Brother Yue, Xia Mansion was given by the emperor and is not allowed to be bought and sold, right? ”

Wei Han said: "There are two situations in the mansion given by the emperor, one is a reward, and the other is a residence. The reward is the same as the property, and the ownership belongs entirely to the person who is rewarded, whether he wants to tear it down or sell it as he wants. As for the residence, as the name suggests: it is just given to someone to live, and the ownership is still the emperor's, if you are promoted one day, you may be given a better residence, and if you are demoted or dismissed, then the mansion will be taken back. ”

Yue Feiyun seemed to be afraid that Xia Chen would not understand, and added: "The Great General's Mansion is a residence, and my mansion is a reward. ”

"Is the Xia Mansion a place to live or a reward?" Xia Chen thought that in modern times, the house is equivalent to the unit dormitory, and the reward is equivalent to the unit room.

Wei Han and Yue Feiyun said at the same time: "Give a residence." ”

Xia Chen frowned: "In this way, as long as the emperor doesn't take it back, my eldest uncle and his family can live forever, and the debt collectors will never dare to ask for the emperor's mansion, right?" "If that's the case, wouldn't it be impossible for me to get them to the cold kiln to taste the bitterness.

Wei Han thought for a moment: "It should be like this, but even if there is a mansion to live in." There is no money, no food and no clothing, and those who collect gambling debts are even more ruthless than raiding the house, except for the house. Nothing else will be left, and even the flowers and plants in the yard will be dug up for you when you meet a poor person. ”

Xia Chen was happy in his heart when he heard this, wouldn't a mansion with nothing be the same as a cold palace, even if there were a few more tiles to shelter from the wind and rain, it couldn't cover his face. She pretended to be curious: "Are debt collectors really so powerful?" My uncle is a fourth-rank general. ”

Yue Feiyun said: "I am willing to gamble and lose, and repay my debts, the more people with heads and faces." The more you can't rely on the gambling account, otherwise how to gain a foothold in the future. ”

Although Xia Chen is a modern person, she can fully understand these truths. She asked this because she wanted to confirm the details.

When I left the restaurant, half of the bright moon just climbed over the treetops, and the moon did not wait for the moon to set in the west. It was already dawn.

The light on the lake is like silver. A huge boat is parked in the middle of the lake, surrounded by six smaller boats, which look like a glowing lotus flower from a distance.

Several delicate boats arrived, apparently to provide services for these boats.

Wei Han stretched out his hand and beckoned a boat over, and asked the boatman, "With such a beautiful scenery, can there be a cyclamen?" ”

The boatman said, "Isn't Childe a cyclamen?" ”

Wei Han handed the wooden sign in his hand to the boatman: "Miaozai, I'll be a cyclamen later." ”

Boarding the boat, Xia Chen found that the cabin was wider than it looked. It's also very tastefully furnished. A wooden couch is covered with a reed mat, and a square low table is placed in the middle. There are tea and snacks on the table.

Xia Chen asked in a low voice: "Wei Han, everyone in Anyang knows what the cyclamen gambling house does, why do they still make these mysteries?" ”

Wei Han leaned into her ear: "The guests of the cyclamen casino are divided into levels, and there are many high rollers who don't want to be known, so the casino will arrange secret gambling games for them. Take this painting boat as an example, the guests here sometimes gamble not for money, but for treasures, news, and even lives. ”

Xia Chen said in surprise: "No one cares?" ”

Wei Han said: "What's the matter?" The guests were all voluntary, and even if they were forced, they would never dare to say it. ”

Xia Chen didn't need to ask to know that the end would be worse, and she hadn't seen how arrogant the people in the cyclamen gambling house were.

Seeing that it was not far from the painting boats, the boatman stopped and asked, "How many sons are gambling money?" Gamble? Or is there an appointment early? ”

Wei Han said: "Gamble for money." ”

The boatman asked, "If it is more than 10,000 taels, 30,000 taels, or 50,000 taels, which ship does the son want to try his luck on?" ”

Wei Han's face turned green when he heard this, he thought that he had two thousand taels of silver on him, and he couldn't even get on the boat!

Yue Feiyun looked at Wei Han with a smile on his face and teased: "People are not good, they are young people, and if they want to gamble, they will bet big." ”

Wei Han glared at Yue Feiyun, but he was like a dumb person who had eaten Coptis chinensis, and he couldn't vomit out the bitterness.

Xia Chen was a little puzzled and asked the boatman: "Take this 10,000 taels as an example, do the three of us want 30,000 taels?" ”

The boatman bowed and said, "That's not necessary, just like the three of you, you only need to exchange 10,000 taels of chips when you get on the boat." ”

Xia Chen said: "So the three of us, each of us has more than three thousand taels on it?" ”

The boatman said: "It can also be said that the rule of the painting boat is that no more than three people can be counted as a wave of guests, but a few people must remember to make up enough silver to exchange 10,000 yuan for chips, otherwise...... You will be asked to go into the water. ”

Xia Chen opened his mouth wide and let out an "oh", then turned his head and winked at Wei Han: "Brother Wei, you invited us." ”

Wei Han was about to cry: "This ...... It's natural. "It's a bit of a shame to back down, but it doesn't seem like there's a choice at the moment.

The boatman's tone suddenly became very cold: "It can't be that you don't have enough money, right?" I don't ask the rules to get on the boat, and I'm afraid I won't be able to send a few people ashore. ”

Yue Feiyun said: "The people who invited us here didn't talk about these many rules, how can you blame us?" ”

Wei Hanyi frowned: "You mean we can't swim back?" ”

Xia Chen was very indignant: "How can you treat guests like this! We just happened to have a few taels of silver missing. ”

The boatman said lightly: "This is the rule of the gambling house. As he spoke, he alternately pressed on the plank, and the whole ship shook violently, as if the ship was about to capsize at any moment.

Xia Chen and the three of them were all martial arts practitioners, and they were still sitting firmly for a while, but they all secretly admired the boatman's leg strength and balance in their hearts, obviously he practiced water kung fu. At the same time, they are also worried that if they do it, the boatman will run away from the water and then overturn the boat underwater.

At this time, Wei Han suddenly grabbed her hand: "Does Chen'er know water?" Swimming in the water should be a pleasant thing to do at this time. ”

Xia Chen was angry and funny when he heard this, and he was a little embarrassed: "My water nature has never been very good. ”

The boatman said, "A few people refused to get off the boat, so I had to help a few people." As he spoke, he wanted to jump into the water.

Xia Chen shouted: "Wait a minute, let's gamble!" ”

The boatman turned his head away: "How many of you still brought treasures?" ”

Xia Chen reached into his sleeve and groped for a moment, and took out a pair of jade bracelets: "It doesn't hurt to let you open your eyes first, my pair of green jade bracelets are worn by an imperial concubine in the previous dynasty, and I think you are also knowledgeable and know the value of this thing." ”

The boatman said: "There is a way that gold and silver are priceless and jade is priceless, but a few of you can try it on the boat of the gambling treasure." ”

Xia Chen smiled slightly: "Trouble leads the way." She doesn't know how to appreciate treasures in this boatman, especially the best jade in jade, otherwise he wouldn't be a boatman here, but she just gave him a big hat, people are always a little vanity, and the boatman is the same.

Wei Han tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "Chen'er, where did you get your pair of bracelets?" He didn't have time to take a closer look, but when he heard about the green jade bracelet, he knew that it was worth a lot of money, or something that the princess had brought it.

Xia Chen pinched his arm and made a look to stop him. Although this is a real jade bracelet, it is by no means full of green, she just cleverly uses the moonlight and the pinch, as for the princess's, it is all made up. Speaking of which, this pair of bracelets was obtained from those two Xuanguo guards, even if it is not the quality of the upper submission, it must be worth thousands of taels, I don't know where they got it and what means they used.

Surprisingly, they were taken to the largest painting boat in the middle, and the two-story ornate building made people feel that it was a pavilion floating in the water.

All the furnishings in the hall are made of mahogany, the carvings are extremely exquisite, several silver candlesticks are lit with wrist-thick incense wax, and three tables are placed on the ground, separated by floor covers and beaded curtains.

Each table has six chairs on each side, one on each narrow side and two on the long side. There are basically people sitting on the chairs, and there are two rows of chairs on both sides of the coffee table, where you can see the situation on the gambling table and will not disturb the people who gamble. Several young girls serving tea and water are all gorgeous, with green feathers and brocade clothes, and they shuttle lightly through the crowd, like beautiful butterflies. Xia Chen even suspected that he had arrived at a modern masquerade ball.

At this time, a middle-aged man who was also dressed in an extremely luxurious manner came over: "I don't know what treasures the sons brought, do you want to exchange the price for chips first, or wait a while to buy a few pieces from the winner?" ”

Xia Chen just wanted to ask how to operate it, but Wei Han patted her shoulder and roared, "I seem to have seen the King of the Sea!" (To be continued......) R1292
