Chapter 62 Gambling Easy

Yu Shu heard that shout, Bacheng must be somewhere, and then tiptoed to look inside, in the spacious and bright hall, people were standing in piles, shouting one after another, with the sound of rattling coins, the sound was very noisy.

Yu Shu followed the people inside, and wondered, as far as she knew, gambling has been strictly banned since the Song and Yuan dynasties, why is this gambling house open on the street in the open, is it not forbidden to gamble in the Da'an Dynasty?

Walking back and forth in the middle of the hall, Yu Shu was sure that this was a big gambling house, more than ten tables, most of them were betting on dice and fighting pai gow, Yu Shu was very interested in things about numbers, when she was in college, she had a private exchange with a professor about this industry, so she recognized these ancient gambling equipment.

After turning the middle part, she walked to both sides with little interest, there were more people around the gambling stalls under the walls on both sides, more people looked up at the wall under the east wall, and many people under the west wall held compasses in their hands-

Hey? Compass?

Yu Shuduo glanced at the west twice, and was about to go over, but was squeezed and pushed to the east by a group of people.

Under the east wall, there are no dice and no dominoes, the wall is divided into several areas horizontally and vertically, some places hang many small yellow signs in the shape of long strips, and some places are pasted with a large pair of white paper, on which are written, a row of tables are placed on the wall, there are a few guys standing on the high cabinet at the back, and the sound of abacus in the crowd is crackling.

What's going on?

Yu Shu took a few steps faster, approached the white paper pasted behind the wall of the table, was blocked outside the crowd, looked at it on tiptoe for a while, couldn't see any doorway, and was about to squeeze in, when he saw a guy standing on the high cabinet and shaking the bell, shouting:

"Buy and leave, gold, wood, water, fire and earth, come and open——"

The people around the table all took a step back, Yu Shu raised his head, and saw the guy who rattled the bell beckoning to the back, and immediately another guy stepped on the high cabinet, and pasted another one next to the large white paper on the wall, on which a string of numbers was written in traditional Chinese.

There was a buzz on both sides, and the spectators discussed:

"Has it been hit, has anyone been hit?"

"Whoever hit the front and said it?"

"Did Mr. Pei hit again? Or Mr. Song? ”

Yu Shu stood behind the people and couldn't see the movement in front of him, so he heard it after a while, the bell rang again, and the guy who rang the bell shouted again:

"No one is in the middle - buy the brand and reopen it"

With a "bang", the crowd scattered on both sides, Yu Shu spotted a person who was squeezing out, grabbed the other party, and asked politely:

"This big brother, what are you gambling on here?"

This person was a spectator and didn't lose money, so his face was fine, he smiled at Yu Shu, pointed to the gambling table in the middle and said:

"As soon as the little brother comes back, do you want to play or go there, this is not the place for you to play."

Easy Zone? Yu Shu was suspicious, and said in a good voice, "I'm not here to play, or to watch a lively scene, big brother talk to me." ”

Seeing Yu Shu's well-behaved face, this man was a little more patient, turned around and pointed to the white paper pasted on the wall behind the high cabinet, and said:

"See no, this piece is a gambling number, a cup of tea to open a game, can solve the problem above, solve it correctly, even if it is successful."

Yu Shu squinted his eyes to look at the nearest piece of white paper, but saw that the bold black characters on it clearly read:

"I only heard that the people next door divided the silver, I don't know how much silver and people, each person is seven taels less than seven taels, each person is half a catty and more than half a catty, let me ask you who are good at calculations, how many people divide how much silver?"

Yu Shu was stunned, isn't this a math problem?

Can this also be used to gamble?

Yu Shu was puzzled and continued to ask: "Then how to calculate the money if you win?" ”

The man pointed to the other end: "See, there is a change of brand, a pair of silver pairs, the back of the brand is engraved with the brand, take the red head card to the calculation, there is a pen and paper on the table, calculate the use of the red head card, the black head of the brand to leave the bottom, in the front to receive, since someone called, alas, just now that game, hung more than 50 brands, if someone is in the middle, let alone can earn five taels of silver, pity." ”

Five taels

Yu Shu's throat was dry, she swallowed her saliva, and looked at the title on the wall, as if she saw a pile of white flowers and silver beckoning to her.

It's still hard to solve this problem, just set two unknowns.

Seeing Yu Shu's eyes lit up, this man smiled and said, "What, the little brother is interested in gambling?" ”

Yu Shu pressed the surprise, shook his head, and said with a smile: "I'm just going to see." ”

The man nodded knowingly and said: "This is a place where the gentlemen of Yixue in the city come to try their hands, it doesn't rely on luck, and it can't keep up with the wind, you can turn it yourself, I'll go." ”

Yu Shu said goodbye to him, watched people go away, did not rush over to buy a brand, but squeezed to the front of the crowd, carefully observed a few rounds of gambling, a dime of silver and a game, she only had one chance, don't be hasty, let's see the situation first.

Press a cup of tea a game, gone there are five rounds, three in two not hit, the one in the widow has a few more, the widow is monopolized, more is evenly divided, not in the dealer to eat, each bet on a red head card, will be written on the white paper next to a yellow wooden card, is a fair open bet number.

Yu Shu figured out the process, and then calculated a few questions, secretly glad that he did not blindly buy the brand to bet just now, the questions posted by the dealer, not all by mouth and the number of columns can be calculated, there are two of them, is a few multi-digit products and division quotient, in the absence of an abacus, Yu Shu is not sure that it can be a good one.

Knowing that Lu Dao would bring an abacus, Yu Shu regretted watching another game fail, the guy on the high cabinet emptied more than 30 yellow-headed brands on the wall, licked his lips, turned around and walked towards the counter selling the brand, took out a small silver in the waist seam, bought a pair of brands, and came back and squeezed to the front.

To the front, but much looser than the back, easy customers to be more than ordinary gamblers to abide by the rules, standing on the edge of the table will no longer push, a person guarding a place, calmly look up and wait for the question, do not disturb each other, the side of the lively is more than the real gambling people, the number of bets is different from others, the list of bets are on the table, the individual wrote, there is no phenomenon of following the trend of betting.

"The eighteenth game, change the brand to buy the bet, gentlemen, please step forward, buy the bet brand and don't buy it back!"

Yu Shu looked up at the question reposted on the wall, and secretly said good luck, it was to solve the question, no need to have an abacus, she drew a piece of paper on the long table, did not use the brush on the table, but took out the charcoal in her arms, lying on the table with one hand to write the style, which inevitably aroused suspicion, after calculating, she stuffed the paper ball into the cuff, and dipped the brush in some ink, and rewrote the answer on a piece of paper one by one.

After it was written, it was pressed with a red head card, and he was not in a hurry to hand it over, and after seeing that someone on both sides had calculated it, he called a man.

After a while, he heard the rattle, and he was ready to leave, Yu Shu took two steps back with the crowd, looked at the yellow-headed signs hanging on the wall, and silently thought in his heart: One more, one more

The sign was hung until thirty-two yuan, Yu Shu was excited, you must know that this is three taels and two dollars, which is comparable to the profit of Cao Zixin's store in one day

If she had been widowed, she would have multiplied thirty-two times

"The 18th game - two people - two pick up the number six card, three pick up the number seven plate"

Yu Shu looked down at the black card in his hand, but it was the "Three Picks", heard the two of them, depressed for a while, and thought that it would be okay to be like this, the big head of the lottery was big, and it was inevitable to attract people's jealousy.

Even so, when Yu Shu, a "young man", followed a middle-aged man to get the lottery, there was still a noisy discussion behind him.

"Who's in front?"

"Mr. Pei has been hit-ah, there is a yellow-haired child who has also been hit"

"Tsk, at such an age, I'm afraid it's not a child of the Yi family, right?"

"Maybe it's lucky."

"Hey, do you have what it takes to try it?"

"Hehe, how can I have that ability."

Yu Shu's ears are very smart, and when he heard the discussion behind him, he knew that it was still noticeable, took a tael of hexagonal silver from the average, retreated to the crowd, and accepted the sight of the bets around, hesitating, only one time was targeted, if she hit a few more, would it be too much of a limelight?

But if she doesn't gamble, where will she go to find ten taels of silver to enter the library of the Great Yi Pavilion?

Thinking about it like this, Yu Shu made up his mind again, squeezed to the place where the brand was sold, estimated the number in his heart, took the silver he had just arrived, bought ten pairs of brands in one go, and returned to the long table to stand up.

Yu Shu has more eyes, the following start, she bet on each game, meet to use the abacus, just write a number, not calculated, meet the quasi-head big, look at the number of people around the bet, only to follow the bet on a brand, ten rounds down, five in five missed, two in the widow, three evenly divided.

"Look, that little boy has been hit by him four or five times, right?"

"What's this, Mr. Pei hit it seven times in the morning."

"How can it be the same, how old is this little boy, can he compare with Mr. Pei."

Yu Shu stuffed the one, two, and two corners that she won into her arms, her body was sweating, and her face was a little red with excitement, these questions were not difficult at all, she was excited about the silver in her arms.

It's eleven taels and more triangles

She has been in Da'an for almost two months, and it is the first time she has such a lot of money, and the last time she helped Jingchen sell beads, it was someone else's, and this was her own

Listening to the surrounding discussions, Yu Shu turned her head to look at Mr. Pei, who had won the same game with her at the beginning, and secretly rejoiced that fortunately there was such a veteran who suppressed her limelight.

Pei Jing was also looking at Yu Shu, he was just excited to come here to play this morning, how could he have met such an opponent, although he had two more hits, but his age was there, compared with a teenager, he didn't feel anything good about winning two more.

Hearing others talking, saying that this young man Xu is the son of which Yimen, but he didn't think so, if he is really a child of the Yi Xue family, how could he come to this kind of place to play, the Yi Xue family is very strict, opposite is the Confucian Yi Pavilion, was seen by acquaintances, notified the family, and will be beaten when he goes back.

is not a person from the Yi Xue family, so it is worth his attention.

Pei Jing saw Yu Shu squeeze out of the crowd, hesitated for a moment, and followed quietly.

In the crowd, there were also two people who saw Yu Shu leaving, looked at each other, and followed out of the crowd.
