followed Ming Jing to the second floor and entered a beautifully decorated room.

I saw that in the center of the room was a large oval table, on which was covered with a red brocade cloth, on which were placed many silver and gold tickets, and around the table were seven large deerskin chairs, three of which had already been seated.

Cui Mi already had 200,000 taels of silver on his body, so he also followed him to the second floor. And Qian Hao also wanted to continue to see the situation on the second floor, so he followed, and Ming Jing did not refuse.

This is the first time he has come to the second floor, and he was amazed by the decoration on the second floor, which is much better than the first floor, and he basically knows all the people involved in the gambling game, all of whom are famous figures in Ningdu City, which is even louder than his name as a gentleman.

The one on the far left is wearing a white silk shirt is the youngest daughter of King Zhongshan's most beloved daughter, Ming Yuzhen, the white jade princess known as one of the three stunning ones in Ningdu, and below is Mei Jian, the eldest son of Mei Chong, the secretary of the ministry, and the last middle-aged man with a big belly is Pei Qian, the younger brother of Pei Xian, the head of the household department.

"Third brother, what are you doing down to make us wait so long!" Ming Yuzhen was the first to speak.

Ming Jing smiled slightly, and immediately sat down on the left, politely pointing to an empty chair and saying to Xu Xiang, "Young Master Xu, please take a seat." ”

Xu Xiang sat down, Cui Mi sat down next to Xu Xiang, and Qian Hao stood next to the two because he didn't have any money to get on the gambling table.

"Let me introduce it to you, everyone must know this Cui Mi Cui Gongzi, right?" Ming Jing said to everyone, "What about this one, speaking of which, there is still a famous name in Ningdu!" ”

"Oh? Third brother, you say that you are so famous, why don't you know Zhen'er? Ming Yuzhen asked curiously.

At this time, Pei Qian, who was rich and bowed at the very side, said: "The princess doesn't know that his name is understandable, but if I talk about something, the princess will definitely know." ”

"Surely the princess must have heard of fried chicken and barbecue?" Pei Qian continued, "This is the real owner of Ningdu's food vane, the gnawing chicken, Xu Changsha Xu Gongzi. ”

Pei Qian looked like I understood very well and said eloquently.

After hearing this, Ming Yuzhen showed a happy look in her eyes, and said to Xu Xiang: "It turns out that you are the owner of the gnawing chicken!" The stuff in your shop is so delicious, and those fruit wines! It's so perfect for this princess! Every time you have a new product in your store, this princess asks her maid to buy it! I'm still a Gold member of your store! ”

"Oh?" Xu Xiang was surprised, "Thank you princess for your love!" It's a great honor for the chicken to be liked by the princess! ”

Then he said to Pei Qian: "This son, you know me"

"I forgot to introduce myself, my son is Pei Qian, and my brother is Pei Xian, the head of the household. What Xu Gongzi did on the Yellow River Beach had a great impact on the household! My brother admires you in every way, so I have ordered someone to investigate you, I hope Xu Gongzi doesn't mind! ”

Money?

Xu Xiang's face was black, but he didn't expect ...... There will be people who take such names.

"Pei Gongzi's words are serious!" He hurriedly said that he was not good at complaining directly about this name.

"What Yellow River beach?" At this time, Ming Yuzhen showed a curious look and asked.

Ming Jing smiled and said, "Zhen'er, don't you know that 200,000 displaced people from Jinchang and Camellia Oil came to the outside of Ningdu City before, and my father wanted to send them back. But I don't know where Xu Gongzi got his skills, so he invited the eldest princess to say something for him and persuade his father to take back his fate. Moved the displaced people to the Yellow River beach, and single-handedly raised these useless displaced people. It can be described as a kind heart! ”

Although the words were full of admiration for Xu Xiang, there was a strong sense of ridicule in the tone.

Then he changed his tone and asked, "But I don't know what happened to those homeless people?" ”

"Shang Ke, if Your Highness is free, you can go to the Yellow River Beach to have a look." Xu Xiang didn't care if he was sarcastic or admiring him, and said perfunctorily.

"I'm going too! I'm going too! Ming Yuzhen showed a strong interest and said excitedly.

"Zhen'er, don't mess around!" Mingjing feigned anger and said that he didn't want to go to those places where the homeless people gathered, and he didn't allow his sister to go over.

Ming Yuzhen could only mumble and didn't continue to say anything. However, after a moment, his eyes rolled and a smile appeared on his lips, as if he had thought of some good idea.

Ming Jing pointed at Mei Jian and said, "Young Master Xu, this Mei Jian Mei Gongzi." ”

Xu Xiang hurriedly greeted Mei Jian politely, but the latter only bowed slightly, without any other reaction, and seemed to have no interest in Xu Xiang at all.

"Xu Gongzi and Cui Gongzi are coming to the second floor for the first time, Yun Chong, introduce the gameplay to the two sons." Ming Jing said to a man standing in front of the center of the table.

The man was thin and had dark circles under his eyes, not sad or happy, and replied: "It's Your Highness." ”

His voice was hoarse, and he felt a little gloomy when he heard it, which made Xu Xiang frown.

I saw that the man took out a small wooden box, and the wooden box was shining with golden light, and after he took it out, Xu Xiang found that these were gold pieces made of gold, which were very thin.

These gold pieces are boxy, and the back is exactly the same, carved with the three words Chenghuan Pavilion.

And after he turned it over, none of the gold plates carved on the front were the same, but the patterns carved on them made Xu Xiang familiar with them.

It's a card!

Including those spades, hearts, plum blossoms, square pieces, as well as the swords, armor, circles, and hooks invented by Xu Xiang, there are a total of fifty-two characters from one to pick.

Isn't that what poker is?

Originally, this thing was only used for recreation in the Xu Mansion, and outsiders generally didn't know about it.

The man began to explain the rules, as well as the judgment of size, and after Xu Xiang listened, it became clear all of a sudden, this ...... Isn't that how ShowHand works?

Unexpectedly, what I made up in the house was actually known by others, and it was also used for gambling.

He couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

"The villain's name is Zhang Yunchong, and this gambling method is called the whole army, which is a new way of playing by the villain! Presumably you are no strangers to the army fighting, so I will introduce to you the victory and defeat judgment and gameplay of the whole army. The man spoke.

It's just that their rules are that the straight is called a dragon, the straight of hearts is the largest, called the red dragon, the second is the black dragon of spades, the plum blossom is the flower dragon again, and the smallest square is the rhombic dragon.

The four under a dragon are called the four towns, and then the gourd, which is called the three gods to spread their wings, the three are called the three gods, the two pairs are called the two wings, and the pair is the wings.

"The rules of this gambling method are more cumbersome, but Xu Gongzi is so smart, it should be no problem, right?" After the man finished speaking, Ming Jing asked with a smile.

"I see! Can Your Highness start? Xu Xiang replied.

"Good! Yun Chong, you can deal your cards. ”

"Lend me a thousand taels." Xu Xiang said to Cui Mi, who didn't think about it and directly pushed him 10,000 taels of silver tickets.

First, as with Stud-Ha, the ante is one hundred taels, and then the cards are dealt to choose to call or fold.

One card per person is covered, and then a second card is dealt.

Xu Xiang got the second card, which is a diamond three, that is, the smallest card, and his hole card is a heart pick, and there is no possibility of a straight.

And the others on the table, Ming Jing's is a red heart, Ming Yuzhen's is a spade sword, Mei Jian's is a spade three, Pei Qian's is a red heart armor, and Cui Mi's is a red heart circle.

"The princess card is the sword of spades, currently the largest, please bet on the princess." Zhang Yunchong said.

Ming Yuzhen smiled happily, "Haha, my luck is too good, next ten thousand taels!" ”

Except for Xu Xiang, everyone called.

There is no way, now he only has 10,000 taels, and in the case of determining that he can't get a straight, the chances of Bo Sijo or Hulu are too slim, and he will definitely not bet.

"Zhen'er, it's only the first round that you're so big, don't you know that Xu Gongzi only has 10,000 taels?" Ming Jing smiled and said.

"I don't care! My hand is so good, it must be a big one! ”

On the third card, Ming Yuzhen showed a block sword, which means that she already has a pair of swords, which can be said to be very large.

At this moment, everyone saw the big cards in her hand, and no one called so stupidly anymore.

When she opened, she found out that her hole card was a spade, and everyone was glad that she hadn't called, otherwise she would have lost more.

"It's boring, I finally got a big hand, and you didn't play with me." Although Ming Yuzhen won a lot this time, she didn't seem to be very happy, but a little depressed.

After more than a dozen rounds, Xu Xiang folded every time he started, and lost so many hundred taels each time.

In the process of these handfuls, everyone else won and lost, which made him find a problem.

That is, they don't seem to lie!

If you have a big card, you will be very happy, the excitement on your face is overflowing, and you are dealt a small card, but you are very frustrated, and you want to look at other people's cards, estimate the size of the card, and do not count the hole cards at all.

You know, Stud isn't relying on the four cards on the board, it's the fifth card on the board!

This time, Xu Xiang knew how to play with them!

At this moment, the silver ticket in his hand was less than eight thousand taels.

Ming Jing opened his mouth and said casually: "Xu Gongzi, this card is not played like this, you don't follow it every time, how can this be played?" ”

"Your Highness misunderstood, I know that I am not as big as yours, of course I won't lose in vain." Xu Xiang shook his head and explained helplessly.

"That's what you said!" Ming Jing nodded, then looked at Zhang Yunchong with an angry face, and scolded: "Yunchong, what's the matter with you?" Why do you deal small cards to Xu Gongzi every time? Did you do it on purpose? ”

"Wronged, Your Highness! It's the same on the back of this card, so how can I know which cards are small and which are big! Besides, Xu Gongzi's cards just now were hooked wings, and he chose to fold the ......," Zhang Yunchong hurriedly explained.

"Humph! Forgive me for not daring! ”

Once again, Xu Xiang's hole card was still not good, it was a diamond five, and the first card shown was not bad, it was a sword of hearts.

"Sword of hearts, Xu Gongzi has the biggest card, please bet."

"One thousand taels." Xu Xiang threw a stack of silver tickets up.

Generally, everyone will follow the first round of betting, so there are 6,000 taels more on the table.

When the cards were dealt again, Xu Xiang's card was a red heart ring, while the others had wings and some had big cards, but Ming Yuzhen's cards were not very good.

This time, Cui Mi's wings were the largest, so he bet 1,000 taels.

Except for Ming Yuzhen, everyone called.

When the next card was dealt, Mei Jian also folded.

Now there is a situation of Mingjing's seven cards and three gods on the field, and Pei Qian's plum blossom three are unscrupulous, and it looks like they are going to become a dragon.

Cui Mi's hand was not very good, but he still wanted to play it, so he called.

And Xu Xiang is holding a red heart hook, which obviously has a tendency to become a dragon, and it is also the largest red dragon.

When Xu Xiang got this heart hook, his face showed a happy look, although his hole card was only a diamond five.

"Seven pai three gods, please bet on Your Highness!" Zhang Yunchong said after looking at the cards on the board.

Ming Jing looked at the cards on the field, with his understanding of Xu Xiang's previous rounds. He felt that Xu Xiang's card was probably a heart pick or a nine, otherwise he wouldn't be so excited when he got the heart hook.

And Pei Qian's cards are also good, and it is very likely that he will also make a flower dragon.

"Five thousand taels!" Mingjing felt that the last card, these two people would not be so lucky, so he was ruthless and raised directly.

Cui Mi's cards were not very good, so he naturally gave up the cards, while Pei Qian followed five thousand taels.

Now only Xu Xiang did not bet, and everyone's eyes were on him.

They had been gambling for so long, and the biggest red dragon had never appeared, and they all looked at him with great anticipation.

"I'll follow!" Xu Xiang calmly launched a silver ticket of five thousand taels.
