At the end of the unitary period, a group of people left Chunfangyuan after discussing and eating and drinking.

Li Xinluo finally discussed the specific matters with Meng Yi again, and then arranged for the servants to go to the stable to bring the horses, and just as he was about to get on the horse and leave, Chenghou Zhaohai stopped him with a smile.

"I don't know what else is going on with Jianhou?" Li Xin asked with a slightly drunken hand.

"Nothing to do, Hai this Quyuan has just opened, Di Daohou is the first time to come to my Qu Garden for a banquet, just because you and Dr. Meng and others have important matters to discuss, Ben Hou did not dare to disturb, although Lin Xian'er went to perform a dance, I want to come to Di Daohou has not been happy, at this time it is still early, Di Daohou Mo Ruo stayed, Ben Hou will call Lin Xian'er and then present a few songs and dances alone, wouldn't it be wonderful!" Zhao Hai explained with a smile.

"Jianhou is so good, the letter will not be shirked!" Li Xin agreed without too much hesitation.

"Haha, that's fine, Di Daohou, please~"

"Completed Hou Please~"

The two Qinghou smiled and held hands and turned back to the inner courtyard, Jiancheng Hou also chose a quiet courtyard to arrange tea to sit down again, and soon Lin Xian'er came with a pipa style, wearing a pale green plain dress, with a delicate face and a snow-white thin neck in a high bun, a red hosta inserted in the bun, a pair of snow-white jade bracelets on the wrist, thrush lips, thin powder on the face, red cheeks, and Nana went to the hall to salute.

"Slave to meet the two marquis!"

Lin Xian'er's voice was gentle and her posture was delicate, Li Xin couldn't help but pull his beard and nodded to Zhao Hai again and again: "Not bad, it's really a rare beauty in the world!" ”

"Haha~" Zhao Hai smiled proudly, nodded at Lin Xian'er and said, "Di Daohou is so complimentary, why don't you hurry up and present the most exquisite song and dance!" ”

"Thank you Di Daohou for your praise, and today I will present a song for Hou Ye to return to spring, I hope Hou Ye likes it!"

After Lin Xian'er finished speaking, she slowly sat down on the piano bench, holding the pipa in her arms and half-covering her pretty face, first after adjusting the strings, soon a cheerful tune flowed out like a spring, and with the music sounding, the four dancers in colorful groups also began to dance with the music in the center of the dance floor.

In the summer season, these singers and dancers are all dressed lightly, and with the soft dance posture spinning, patches of snow white also flash.

Faced with such a temptation, Li Xin, who had been in the Western Regions for several years, instantly felt that he was a little uncontrollable, and he shrugged his Adam's apple and quickly became fascinated.

After two songs in a row, Lin Xian'er went to change her dress and came out to sing and dance alone, accompanied by several prostitutes, Lin Xian'er sang and danced in the center of the dance floor with melodious and cheerful dance music, the beautiful and melodious singing voice was like a lark's cry, and the beautiful song and dance only made Li Xinmi's intoxication and couldn't extricate himself, and when Lin Xian'er's singing and dancing ended, he directly untied the palm-sized mutton fat jade pendant hanging on his waist and handed it to Lin Xian'er.

"This jade pendant was given to Benhou by the lord of Loulan in the Western Regions, and it is worth a thousand gold, so I will reward you today!"

"Thank you Lord Hou, but Master Hou's gift is too heavy, and the slave can't afford it!" Lin Xian'er hurriedly excused herself.

"Hey, Ben Hou is in charge of the army to guard the Western Regions, although the Western Regions is a land of wind, sand and bitter cold, but it is rich in a kind of mutton fat jade, Ben Hou dare not say that this jade pendant is precious, but it is also a rare thing, if you don't want it, wouldn't you look down on Ben Hou!"

"Slaves don't dare!" Lin Xian'er knelt on the ground with a pale face in fright.

"Xian'er, you just accept it, and later accompany Di Daohou to drink and admire the moon, and live up to Di Daohou's good intentions, if you still feel guilty, you will invite Di Daohou to come to my Chunfang Garden to play a few more times and serve well!" Zhao Hai said with a smile next to him.

"Thank you for the reward!" Lin Xian'er stood up and walked in front of Li Xin, and saluted again before taking the jade pendant.

Looking at a piece of warm and moist mutton fat jade larger than the palm of his hand, weighing at least half a catty, Lin Xian'er happily knelt next to Li Xin and helped pour a cup of tea and said: "Di Daohou is really a big hero, this jade pendant is not only beautiful, but also the shape is extremely bold, if such a large piece is hung on the body, I am afraid that the waist will be folded......"

"Hahahaha~" Li Xin and Zhao Hai couldn't help laughing.

Li Xin grabbed Lin Xian'er's waist, "Ben Hou is a vulgar person, not only this jade pendant is big, but there are others too, do you want to see it?" ”

"Master Hou~~" Lin Xian'er instantly lowered her head in a shy manner.

"Hahahaha...... Xianyang people say that Di Daohou is suave and good at training, and the wife and beautiful relatives in the house are all obedient, it turns out to be a private treasure, but the fairy girl is the baby of my Quyuan, and she doesn't sell her body, Di Daohou still put away your big baby for the time being, so as not to be frightened! Zhao Hai laughed heartily again.

"Do you sell your body or not?" Li Xin glanced at Lin Xian'er in surprise, then looked at Zhao Hai and then suddenly realized, "Didn't Jiancheng Hou say that there is still a stud battle with Qinghe Hou?" ”

Zhao Hai's face instantly lowered when he heard this, and he picked up the teacup and nodded depressedly and said: "Yes, I didn't expect Di Daohou to know it just a few days after he came back, in order to compete for Xian'er, Ben Hou and Qinghe Hou blocked a game, and the result was narrowly won, but Qinghe Hou felt a loss after going home for a few days, so he invited Ben Hou to gamble on another game next year, Xian'er is this year's Oiran leader, poetry, song and dance instrumental music are good, since I came to my Chunfang Garden, it has been sought after by countless nobles and rich people, so that my Quyuan business is more than ten times better, so good, How could Ben Hou be willing to let her go, but the stud was all based on luck, and even Qinghe Hou couldn't control it, so I naturally felt anxious in my heart, and I felt extremely depressed when I thought of it! ”

"Ben Hou has not been back to Xianyang for several years, and he almost didn't recognize it when he came back this time, if it weren't for the emperor and a group of familiar ministers, he would have thought that he had gone the wrong way, and he didn't catch up with the Oiran competition, but I don't know what this stud is?" Li Xin asked with a puzzled face.

"Stud is actually a kind of poker card play, in addition to fighting the landlord and other ways to play, but Qinghe Hou has only taught the landlord and stud a few days ago, and the playing cards can not be made and sold in large quantities, since the last time and Qinghe Hou Stud gambling fight, Ben Hou wanted to open a chess and card room in Chunfangyuan to provide another way of entertainment for the guests, so he had to agree to make a gambling contract with Qinghe Hou, he gave me some playing cards to fund me to open a chess and card room, as for the rules of stud with the mouth is not clear, Hai took Di Daohou to the chess and card room to take a look, and knew that there were still a few nobles who were gambling and fighting......"

"That's too much to wait, let's take a look!" As soon as Li Xin heard this, he stood up and urged Zhao Hai to lead the way quickly, and soon the two marquis left together, leaving only Lin Xian'er and a few singers and dancers.

Looking at Li Xin's back, Lin Xian'er bit her lip slightly, stood up and followed to the chess and card room.

The chess and card room is very lively, a specially customized semi-circular card table, which is written in order in the five directions of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, there is a person sitting in front of each direction, the youngest is a young man in a black brocade suit, it is the son Hu Hai, and there is also a burly and tall man, who is also wearing a brocade robe and a military crown, it is the Marquis of Wucheng, Wang Li, and the remaining three are much older, all of them are the lords of the Marquis of Qing, and Li Xin knows them all.

At present, the five ginseng bets, acting as a dealer is another Oiran flower slave, I saw her skillfully use her hands to push the five cards into the circle with the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and then point to the person with the largest card to ask for a bet.

At this time, the betting area in the middle of the table has been stacked with a lot of coins, there are five coins of the five elements of the treasure, there are ten dollars of the Bagua treasure, and fifty dollars of the Tai Chi treasure, five gamblers in front of each of them, but also more or less piled up some coins, this stud seems to bet the lowest bet of five money.

Looking at the five people who participated in the gambling, Li Xin finally understood why Zhao Hai was a nobleman, in terms of identity, Hu Hai's identity was the most noble, followed by Wucheng Marquis Wang Li, this is a top noble who will not even move the emperor to him, not only with the prestige and merits of Wang Jian and Wang Ben on his head, but also the prestige of conquering Donghu, which is unsurpassed in the military general sequence of Daqin, as for the other three marquis, they are all nobles who are about the same as Li Xin or even older in qualifications, and they are all famous people in Daqin.

Behind the five people, there are more or less people standing in each of them, almost all of these people Li Xin know, the five doctors Zhao Ying, the five doctors Yang Xu, the officials Shen Gongyan, Xiaqing Wang Wu, Wenjing Hou Yao Cuo, and even a few imperial doctors and forbidden army commanders are also wearing civilian clothes mixed in, it is estimated that they are not on duty today, so they came to join in the fun while they were free.

After entering the chess and card room, Zhao Hai wanted to introduce him first, but was stopped by Li Xin, and instead stood behind a group of people to watch.

This novel game Li Xin is unheard of, not only the table style is strange, but also the patterns and characters drawn on the paper are also very strange, basically incomprehensible, but from the dialogue of the onlookers and the expressions of the participants, this kind of gambling equipment called poker is already very familiar to everyone.

"Childe has the biggest pair of kings, please speak!" After Hua Nu'er finished dealing the cards, he pointed to Hu Hai and said.

Hu Hai hesitated for a moment and grabbed all the cards stacked together, looked at the hidden cards and put them down, and a group of princes and princes who stood behind Hu Hai also had different faces, some whispered, some shook their heads, some people looked solemn, it looked like Hu Hai's hole cards were obviously not good.

"Childe's face card is the biggest, why are you so cautious?" A gambling Hou Ye said with a smile.

Hu Hai shook his head depressedly and said: "What's the use of the big cards, obviously the cards of this son have been messed up, or take another card to see ......" Hu Hai finished speaking, picked up a purple Tai Chi Tongbao in front of him and threw it in the betting area.

"Ben Hou keep up!" Wang Li also threw a Tai Chi Tongbao into it.

"Follow!"

"The old man is gone!"

The gamblers quickly followed and retreated, and there were only four left at the table.

"Everyone, the third card is ......" Hua Nuer and other gamblers have finished betting, and then began to distribute the third card, soon according to the size of the card on the table, the remaining four people have one person to withdraw, the fourth card was issued after Hu Hai also withdrew, leaving only Wang Li and another gray marquis.

"Wucheng Hou Ming card three 10 and one A, it seems to be a full house or even four, and the winning chance is very big......"

"It's hard to say, but it's possible that ordinary three of a kind can ......"

"Huai'an Hou's card ......"

"If you don't say anything, you can't see the rules of the huge chess and card room!" The old man blew his beard dissatisfied, glared at the big characters hanging on the wall.

"Hehe, I'll just wait!" A few mutterers quickly shut up, and the atmosphere at the table instantly became even more tense.

Li Xin stood next to him and didn't understand very well, Zhao Hai kept whispering next to him, at this time everyone stopped talking, and heard someone talking behind him, so everyone couldn't help but look back together, and found that it was Li Xin, and the atmosphere in the room became lively in an instant, almost everyone came to say hello, Li Xin also bowed his hand to say hello one by one, and the room was quiet again after half an hour of busyness.

"Di Daohou has not returned to Beijing for several years of fighting, and this stud must not have been played, how about we also stud to open Di Daohou's eyes?" Wang Li said after saying hello and sitting down.

"Okay, this game of stud!" The old man smiled and pushed all the coins in front of him to the betting area, which seemed to be more than 3,000 yuan.

"Haha, happy!" Wang Li also pushed all the coins in front of him into the betting area, and the pile looked bigger, and the number was only a little more.

"Refreshing, after watching for an hour, I finally saw a game of stud!"

The onlookers also became excited.

"Stud in this game, winner takes all, please open the hole cards of the two Hou Ye!" The dealer Hua Nuer spoke, and Wang Li and the old man slowly turned over their hole cards.

"Wow~" The onlookers scratched for a while, and the old man stood up with laughter and said, "Thank you Wucheng Hou, the old man can buy a good horse again!" ”

Wang Li's face was a little disappreciative, and he waved his hand, "Why don't you win or lose money!" ”

"The Wucheng Hou family has a big business, how can the old man compare, it all depends on the support of the 1,000 food estates, unlike the Wucheng Hou family's 10,000 food estates and thousands of hectares of fertile land, and there are millions of dividends in Keju Square every year...... "The old man said while pulling all the coins in the betting area in front of him.

The speaker had no intention of listening, Wang Li's originally plain face darkened slightly, and his face twitched a few times involuntarily, and many of the onlookers turned pale and couldn't help but glance at Wang Li secretly, feeling that the old man's words were afraid that they had poked Wang Li's sore spot.

Wang Li is now bored to gamble here every day, in fact, a large part of the reason is because of Qinghe Marquis Chen Xu, if he hadn't stabbed the Yanmen Pass incident in the court, Wang Li would still be a general in the northern military camp to command tens of thousands of elite horses.

But now he can only be idle at home, playing with this group of empty marquis who have no ability and status, and the depression is only deeply appreciated by Wang Li.

The old man felt that he might have said the wrong thing, so he put all the money on the card table into a money bucket and said to Li Xin with a smile: "The old man won this game, and he will have fun today, Di Daohou must have never played this stud, and the old man must have had a good time!" ”

"Yes, yes, Di Daohou sit up quickly, the people around him have coveted the vacant seat for a long time!" Zhao Hai also smiled and Li Xin pushed forward.

"Eh, Hou Mo is in a hurry, I haven't ......understood it yet," Li Xin nervously excused.

"Haha, it doesn't matter, Di Daohou only needs to pay the money, first take out 100,000 redemption tickets to suppress the position, and today will be invincible!"

"The only thing that is poor in the Western Regions is sand, where did Ben Hou get the 100,000 money, and even the only valuable jade pendant on Fang Cai's body was given to Miss Xian'er......"

"Di Daohou doesn't need to shirk, come to someone, first take three thousand gambling funds, Di Daohou won the class to return to the dynasty, and it is the first time to come to my Chunfang Garden to cheer, this Hou Yan can be a wall watch, if the three thousand money is lost, there is still one, today must let Di Daohou have a good time!" Zhao Hai pressed Li Xin to the table and sat down, and soon a steward took three thousand coins and put them in front of Li Xin.

"How can Jiancheng Hou do this...... Li Xin still wanted to refuse, but Zhao Hai held him down and said with a smile, "Di Daohou doesn't need to excuse himself, it's just a few thousand dollars, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, it's just a tea pastime!" ”

"Jiancheng Hou is right, Di Daohou doesn't need to shirk, it's just a few thousand dollars, if you don't think it's good to be in vain, you will earn it back if you come to eat a few more banquets in the future, you say yes or no!" Hu Hai also smiled and cleared the siege.

"Exactly, Di Daohou Mo wants to excuse himself, open the cards quickly, I haven't seen the fun yet!"

Under the explanation and urging of a group of gossipy, Li Xin could only sit down, then rolled up his sleeves and rubbed his hands a few times, and then smiled and said to Hu Hai Wang Li and other gamblers: "Anyway, Ben Hou has never played this kind of novel game, and Jianhou is so enthusiastic, so I will accompany you to play a few games and have fun!" ”

"Di Daohou is right to say so, open the cards!" As soon as Wang Li waved his hand, the dealer Hua Nuer began to shuffle the cards, cut the cards, and Lin Xian'er slowly walked next to Hua Nuer and began to observe the card game.

The rules of stud are very simple, Zhao Hai and a group of people gathered around to explain Li Xin also basically understood, only the AKQJ characters on the flower cards are not clear for the time being, but this has nothing to do with the winning or losing of the gambling game, because there is a large group of experts next to the guidance, not to mention that as long as the hole cards are turned over, the winners and losers are clear at a glance, and no one can rely on the account.

Therefore, after a few laps, Li Xin quickly figured out the rules, this stud is not only full of variables, but also very tense and exciting, much more fun than the simple games of dice guessing the pot.

Li Xin quickly became addicted to it, skillfully peeking at the hole cards and calling bets, as if he had become an old gambler.
