Chapter 152: Asking for Directions
In Qiu Guifang for half a month, Yu Shu did not come out of the stall for the first time when it was not a rainy day, and led Xia Mingming early in the morning, and when there was no one on the street in the early morning, he found Mingyuan Gambling House.
Although it was early in the morning, but the gamblers in the market often gambled one night, Mingyuan Gambling House, as the largest casino in this Qiu Gui Fang, was the same number of people day and night, Xia Mingming followed Yu Shu, as soon as he entered the hall, he was stunned by all kinds of sweat and fox smell, and almost vomited.
She glanced at the scene in disgust, tugged at Yu Shu's back, and whispered, "Can't you change places?" I can't stand the smell. ”
Yu Shu glanced at her angrily, "Bear with me." ”
Xia Mingming flattened his mouth, because he had to follow, so he was embarrassed to complain anymore, and followed Yu Shu in.
Yu Shu squeezed through a few gaming tables, found the young guy he saw yesterday behind the counter, leaned forward, and greeted with a smile:
"Little Brother Qi, it's early."
The guy Xiaoqi recognized Yu Shu and wondered, "Why are you here?" ”
Yu Shu put the two packets of dried fruit snacks in his hand on the counter, opened one of the packets of dried fruits, and pushed it forward, "Yesterday, Xie Lu, thank you for helping me make a strip, and today I have nothing to do, so I will come and take a look at you, this dried fruit is sold at the door of the house, and it is fragrant, you can take it and taste it." ”
Xiao Qi is not very old, he is the same as Yu Shu, he is still the age of loving to eat mouths, when he smells the fried incense, he pinched a peanut and opened it, threw it in his mouth, and chewed it fragrantly, so he happily lay on the counter, peeling peanuts, and talking to Yu Shu.
"Who is this man?" Xiao Qi pointed to Xia Mingming, who was standing beside Yu Shu.
"It's my brother."
Xiao Qiduo looked at Xia Mingming, squeezed his eyes at Yu Shu and said, "How can your brother look better than other people's sisters." ”
Xia Mingming glared at him and hid behind Yu Shu, Yu Shu said, "Don't talk about her, she is thin-skinned." ”
Xiao Qi couldn't see Xia Mingming, so he asked Yu Shu: "You come to play with me." Aren't you going to be out of the stall today? ”
Yu Shu also pinched a peanut to eat, "If you don't come out, business is not good." ”
Xiao Qi sighed and said, "What's wrong." I see that you are easy to learn, each of you will make money, and you can pinch your fingers casually. It's just a couple of taels. ”
Hearing the layman's understanding of Yike, Yu Shu smiled dumbly. Pinching your fingers can tell the cause and effect of the Dao, it's not a liar, it's a great immortal.
"That's what you see, you can't see that there are so many people who can't eat," Yu Shu said.
"Who can't eat, you?" Xiao Qi pointed at Yu Shu and joked, who thought that Yu Shu would nod seriously:
"I can still eat it now. In a few days, I won't know. ”
"Huh?"
Yu Shu saw that he was surprised, so he took the opportunity to ask: "Brother Xiao Qi, I heard you say yesterday that your Evergreen Gang has a gambling game, can you tell me how to get over?" ”
Xiao Qi spit out the peanut skin in his mouth and stood upright: "Why do you want to gamble?" ”
"Well, I've been in a hurry to use money lately, I think." Yu Shu told the truth, she was not in a hurry to use the money, she really didn't want to go to this kind of place to provoke right and wrong.
Xiao Qi hesitated: "It's not that I can't tell you, it's just that you have to think about it." Gambling in this Anling City is not as easy as other places, and none of the gambling is common, and it is unlucky, and I met a few arithmeticians in the same field. You have to get in for as much money as you want. ”
Yu Shu knew that he had good intentions, so he said: "Don't worry, I am good at arithmetic, I used to recognize a great arithmetic master in my hometown and learned skills from him." ”
She is talking about Pei Jing, it is not a lie, she did learn to do accounts under Pei Jing.
As soon as Xiao Qi heard this, he didn't persuade anymore, and immediately told her how to enter the market to gamble. It turns out that this evergreen gang gambling field is not every day, but a single month and two days, and only a single day in two months, and the place is not necessarily, you have to come to this Mingyuan gambling house first, and only then do you know where to go when you get the entry slip.
Therefore, if you don't often walk around on this street and know acquaintances, if you want to find a place to gamble in the south of the city, you really have no clue.
"Well, you can only enter the venue with this article," Xiao Qi looked down at the counter and found a yellow strip with a long finger, and said to Yu Shu: "It's just to collect money." ”
"How much?" Yu Shu went to take out the money bag briskly.
"Five-tael-one."
Yu Shu's hands trembled, and he scolded secretly that it was really black, but he still took out the money, counted out half a bag of broken silver and put it on the counter, and took the slip in Xiao Qi's hand to look at it.
Before Yu Shu could see clearly what the red stamp was, Xia Mingming stretched out his hand from his head and said curiously: "Show me." ”
Yu Shu gave her the note, and when he saw that Xiaoqi had put the money away, he thanked him.
Xiao Qi waved his hand, glanced at Xia Mingming again, and reminded: "By the way, this strip can only be entered by one person, and it will only work in the month, don't lead people with you when the time comes, be careful of being kicked out, and don't miss the day, we will change the poke in October." ”
"I know, then you are busy, I will go, and when I win the money, I will invite you to eat and drink when I turn around." Yu Shu left a polite word, and led Xia Mingming away, this trip was quite smooth, and he inquired about the place where the gambling was easy.
Coming out of the gambling house and standing on the street, Yu Shu and Xia Mingming both tried their best to change a few fresh air.
"Ah Shu, do you know where this Chunxiang Building is?" Xia Mingming asked with a note.
"Zhilu Dao." Yu Shu had walked around the vicinity of Qiu Kwai Fang in order to find a place to set up a stall before, and when he saw the name of Chunxiang Building, it was not difficult to remember the signboard he had seen, and he frowned secretly, it was not a good place, it was a brothel on the back street of Qiu Kwai Fang.
"Shall we go now, then?" Xia Mingming was eager to try.
"It's not us, I'm going alone," Yu Shu took the slip away from her, "Didn't you hear what the people said just now, only one person can enter a slip." ”
Xia Mingming said with a broken face: "Then what should I do?" ”
"You're at home." Not to mention that there is no money left to buy an extra ticket, even if there is money to spare, Yu Shu doesn't plan to take Xia Mingming with him, just this is fine, I don't know what kind of mess Lu Dao will cause her if she really goes.
Xia Ming knew that they didn't have enough money and had to stay for gambling, so he didn't have a good idea to ask Yu Shu to buy another note.
"Will you go now, then?"
"Don't go now, wait for tomorrow."
"Can't you go today?" Of course, Xia Mingming hopes to get the money as soon as possible, and get the entrance papers as soon as possible, so that she can settle down, otherwise she won't be able to sleep at night.
"I can't go today."
"What are you doing?"
"Because it's September."
"What's wrong with September?" Xia Mingming asked confusedly.
Yu Shu looked at her with disdain and said, "You can bring your brain next time you go out." ”
It's said that it's a single month and two days, and a double month and a single day of admission, it's September now, and today is the twenty-third, what can you do when you go, do you go to the kiln?
***
As soon as Yu Shu and Xia Mingming returned home, Yu Xiaoxiu and Jing Chen greeted them, and the former asked:
"How's it going?"
Yesterday, Xia Mingming begged Yu Shu, and Yu Xiaoxiu was also in front of him, so he didn't hide it from him, and later when he finished eating, Xia Mingming said that he leaked his mouth, and Jingchen also knew that Yu Shu was going to gamble in order to make money for Xia Mingming.
Yu Xiaoxiu actually disapproved of Yu Shu gambling with their living expenses, but because of Xia Mingming's presence, it was not so obvious.
"Well, I've found everything, I'll wait for tomorrow." Yu Shu sat down to drink water.
Yu Xiaoxiu saw that the matter was decided, and after holding it all night, he couldn't help but persuade: "Can't you go if you don't go, in case she can't pass the exam, the money will not be spent in vain." ”
Xia Mingming was unwilling, "Who do you say can't pass the test!" ”
"Say you," Yu Xiaoxiu Xu said unceremoniously: "You are not as good as me and my brother, my brother doesn't go to the exam, you have to go, you don't have a penny to spend money, and in the end, my brother has to find a way for you." ”
Xia Mingming was blocked by his words, blushed in shame, and only remembered a sentence after a while: "I don't want you to worry about it, you care so much." ”
"Who cares about you, I'm afraid that my brother will suffer."
"You, you"
Yu Xiaoxiu and Yu Shu have been eating and sleeping together these days, and his mouth is not as stupid as he was at the beginning, and he is young and does not need to be humble, so he and Xia Mingming quarreled with me and me, and he actually had the upper hand.
Yu Shu was annoyed by the two of them, pressed the urge of one person to give them a brain, put down the teacup and went back to the back room, Jingchen saw this and got up.
It was still noisy outside, Yu Shu sat on the edge of the desk, playing with the beautiful feather that Jing Chen gave her, Jing Chen stood beside her, moved the inkstone, studied the ink a few times, and wrote on the paper:
'Shall I go with you?' ’
Yu Shu looked at him and asked him on paper, turned his head to look at Jing Chen, who had a handsome face, and suddenly thought of the scene when Jing Chen and her went to the Ji family's Baoren Gambling House to win money when he was in Yiyang City, but he didn't expect to encounter a similar situation again today.
She was moved, so she mentioned the past with Jingchen:
"A few months ago, we met in Yiyang, when one of my elders was seriously ill and urgently needed money, I went to the gambling house to win money, I was afraid that people would embarrass me, and I specially found you as a bodyguard to protect me, do you still have an impression?"
Jingchen tried hard to recall, but he didn't have the slightest impression, and shook his head a little lost.
Seeing that he couldn't remember a little bit, Yu Shu smiled, looked back at the feather in his hand, and didn't intend to tell Jingchen that at that time, she was cheeky and begged him for help, so he relented and agreed to accompany her, unlike now, it was he who took the initiative to ask.
But this time, she can't bring Jingchen with her.
Fifty taels of silver, in the capital, it is not much at all, Yi Shi is mostly rich people, as long as she grasps the degree, there will be wins and losses tomorrow, and she will earn fifty taels in a muffled voice, she should not cause any trouble, she calculated it for herself last night.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken this risk for Xia Mingming, she was an emotional investment in Xia Mingming, and she still needed to focus on the risk when she didn't get a single dividend.
