Chapter 1254: One More Gamble
Several of the Oiran are famous singers who have undergone long-term training, and all of them are princes and princes of the dynasty, especially the Marquis of Qinghe, who naturally all performed very hard, singing and dancing, playing the piano and drums, and each showed their own unique skills, so they also watched a group of people fascinated, and the cheers were endless.
Half an hour passed in a flickering in the midst of the bustle, everyone was already smoky and drunk, and the atmosphere at the banquet was even hotter, many people were wandering, holding the maids serving the wine in their arms and unscrupulously began to knead and caress them, and even a few had been stripped of their skirts, pitifully accepting the ravages of these bearded half-pulled old men.
Chen Xu can't do this kind of thing, but he has no intention of changing it.
Because there are too many reforms to be carried out in Daqin at the moment, Daqin is not strong and rich, and it is the civilians at the bottom who suffer, even if these singers and dancers endure humiliation, it will always be better than freezing to death and starving, not to mention that in the perception of everyone in this era, this is not an absolute humiliation, but the status of a slave woman is too low.
It is better to be a peace dog than to be a troubled person.
With the increasing stability and prosperity of Daqin, the prosperity of the Quyuan industry has at least given these women who have no skills a chance to live.
The most miserable thing is not the lowliness in peacetime, but the helplessness in the time of war and foreign invasion, the kind of situation in which the earth is not spiritual, and the situation of being captive, humiliated, and arbitrarily slashed and killed, is the most miserable.
"Master Hou, please drink!" Lin Xian'er, who was kneeling beside Chen Xu, held the wine glass in both hands, her pretty face flushed.
"Haha, okay, come, accompany Ben Hou to have a drink!" Chen Xu held Lin Xian'er in his arms, raised his wine glass and touched it and drank it all, then looked at Zhao Hai, who was also drinking with two oirans in his arms next to him, and said with a smile, "Why does Jianhou look unhappy?" β
Zhao Hai's face was also flushed at this time, and he glanced at Lin Xian'er, who was kneeling next to Chen Xu and waiting, and said, "Zuo Xiang asked knowingly, Miss Xian'er was snatched by Master Hou, how can Hai be happy!" β
"Hey, build Hou Te's little family!" Chen Xu pursed his lips and said with disdain, "At the beginning of the gambling between Xu and Jianchenghou, they said that they would buy it with money, but you didn't agree, otherwise maybe the fairy girl would have been returned to Chenghou at this time!" β
"In terms of money, who can beat Zuo Xiang...... in the entire Great Qin" Zhao Hai was extremely complaining, and his eyes fell on Lin Xian'er, and he was unwilling to move away. At this time, he was a little drunk, and he felt like Chen Xu had robbed him of his treasure for nothing, the more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, and the more he looked at it, the more unconvinced he became.
"What Hou Jiancheng said is extreme, in terms of money, Zuo Xiang's wealth is unmatched in the world, and this time the upcoming waterway and maritime transportation planning, Hou Ye's Huaxia Qianzhuang will invest 500 million, and I can't earn all this money for another hundred years......"
"Alas, who said it wasn'......"
"Hou Ye also has Keju Commercial Plaza, Qinghe stores across the country, Ziyunxian tea, Qinghe porcelain, glass ......"
"There are also shares of Qinghe Liquor and Shuishi Tea House......"
"And perfume and soap ......"
"The bus company also has a stake ......"
Someone began to count Chen Xu's family property with their fingers, and many people shook their heads and followed to add, even Meng Yi couldn't see it, and hugged the two ragged little ladies and blew their beards and glared and said: "You still have a few shares in the old man's Jiangxi porcelain, and you have at least millions of dollars every year!" β
"Hey, it's not that I don't know, so Hou Ye has at least tens of millions of dollars every year!" Some people couldn't help but exclaim, and many people woke up most of the time in an instant.
"Zuo Xiang, take a look, it's not that Hai doesn't want to fight with you for money, but Hai has a weak heart, let's go, the fairy girl has nothing to do with Ben Hou, in the future, everyone will go to Zuo Xiang's Qinghe Garden to play, let Zuo Xiang earn more money, if this Chunfang Garden is deserted, Ben Hou will be closed, it will be ......" Zhao Hai drank a large glass of wine, put down the wine glass and shook his head and sighed.
"The old man said a fair word, the virtuous son-in-law has so much money and wealth, and the completion of the Hou is just a qu garden, this Lin Xian'er should be built into the Hou!" Although Meng Yi was still unsure of Chen Xu's plan, he also knew that he should still show the position that Chunfangyuan's shareholders should have.
"I think it should be so!" Qi Tang, the shareholder of Chunfangyuan, couldn't help but speak.
"Zuo Xiang, to tell you the truth, Yan also thinks that it should be like this, the fairy girl returns to Chunfangyuan, and Jiancheng Hou Na also takes an Oiran out, and then makes up some money to Zuo Xiang, wouldn't it be better to have the best of both worlds!"
Shen Gongyan, a shareholder, also feels that he has to make profits for his own industry, otherwise this Chunfangyuan will not really prosper, and they don't know when and when they can earn it back with their investment of 100,000 yuan.
"Take a look, Zuo Xiang has seen it, you are the real little family, a cheap slave has to be kept for himself, Qu Yuan earns a little money every year, you can't look down on it, why fight with Hai for this livelihood!" Zhao Hai saw that several of his shareholders supported him, and suddenly came to some strength.
Chen Xu helplessly pointed at Jiancheng Hou and said with a smile: "Jiancheng Hou, this is a failed bet, and I am unwilling!" β
"Of course, I just don't want to!" Jiancheng Hou nodded very sloppily.
"Zuo Xiang's means of making money are invincible in the world, why fight with Jiancheng Hou for a prostitute, I think that the method of applying for the Gongfu order is very good, Jiancheng Hou wants to get Lin Xian'er, take out an Oiran and some money to exchange with Zuo, both parties are happy!" Zhao Ying, the gray-haired and burly fifth doctor, also hugged his imperial brother.
"I know, you are waiting because you live in the south of the city, which is relatively close to Chunfang Garden, leaving Lin Xian'er too lazy to go to my Qinghe Garden to play!" Chen Xu pointed to a group of people and said with a smile.
"Hehe, it's too much for Zuo Xiang to say this!" Many people laughed dryly.
"Well, in order to hold this Oiran competition, Benhou spent nearly 300,000 yuan before and after, and it is true that I want to buy a few more Oiran to serve as the faΓ§ade of Qinghe Garden, but this year, things are complicated in Benhou, and the expansion of Qinghe Garden has not been properly arranged, Lin Xian'er doesn't care if he gives it to Jianhou, anyway, next year you can hold an Oiran competition again, and there will definitely be more excellent Ling, and Benhou will buy a few more when the time comes, but after all, Lin Xian'er has already returned to Benhou, and we are all people with status, and it is too foreign to exchange money. If Jiancheng Hou and Ben Hou gamble again, Ben Hou's gambling money is Lin Xian'er and Hua Nu'er, and Jianchenghou's gambling capital is the three Oiran of Fangcai, the winner gets all of it, and the loser has nothing, and the money to buy the Oiran is still responsible for each other, I don't know if Jianhou dares or not? β
After Chen Xu finished speaking, the room instantly fell silent.
Almost everyone turned their heads to look at Zhao Hai.
Chen Xu's proposal can be said to be very exciting, extremely exciting, and everyone who was stimulated trembled.
In other words, the bets in this game are at least 200,000 yuan, because Lin Xian'er Cuiyunxuan's opening price is 80,000 yuan, and the rest of the oirans are between 30,000 and 50,000 yuan, which means that no matter who wins or loses between the two, in the end, they will not only lose but also lose money.
Zhao Hai looked at Lin Xian'er and Hua Nu'er, who were obedient and beautiful and kneeling next to Chen Xu, and then turned his head to look at the three Oiran around him, and after hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth and nodded, "According to what Zuo Xiang said, Hai is willing to bet on this game!" β
"Jiancheng Hou Ke wants to think about it, this gamble is like dice, the rule is to buy and leave without regrets, the winner takes all, if Ben Hou wins Jianchenghou, don't regret it......" Chen Xu pinched the wine glass and reminded.
"Zuo Xiang is relieved, I don't know what the rules of this gambling fight are?" Jiancheng Hou has made up his mind to play this big one.
If you want Chunfangyuan to become popular and attractive enough, it is the best choice to get a leader to take the lead, as for the rest of the Oiran, they can only be used as a foil, just like the three princes and nine kings above the court, in fact, there are only a few people who can call the shots, and the rest are all standing in line to play soy sauce.
"Well, since Jianhou agrees, Ben Hou will talk about the rules of this gambling game, Ben Hou invented a new game some time ago, called poker, Jianhou has seen it, I don't know if you have heard of it?" Chen Xu hugged Lin Xian'er and said with a smile.
"I've heard of it, I've heard it happen, I've heard it happen, it's said that there is a game called fighting the landlord, which is similar to mahjong and is very interesting!" Many nodded.
"That's good, poker is a variety of ways to play, fighting the landlord is one of them, in fact, poker has one of the most exciting ways to play, called stud ......"
Chen Xu instructed the guards standing behind him to take the satchel, took out a small boxy wooden box from it, and opened it, revealing a neat stack of small cards.
"Look, this is poker, the rules of stud are very simple, that is, a dealer cuts the cards, and the people who participate in the game bet according to their own cards, up to five cards per person, and finally determine the winner according to the size, suit and permutations of the cards......"
This is a new poker, Chen Xu selected the big and small kings among them, spread them out on the desk, except for the nearest Chenghou came over, a large group of princes and princes all got up and left the table to watch around Chen Xu.
Chen Xu repeatedly explained three or four times, a full quarter of an hour passed, most of the people roughly understood the way to play this stud, Chen Xu then instructed the servant to bring out a long table in the center of the dance floor, invited Jianhou and Meng Yi, Zhao Ying, Yang Yu and others to sit around the table, to Lin Xian'er Hua Nuer explained in detail the general shuffle cutting card method after ordering the two to stand next to themselves and watch carefully, and then shuffle while cutting the cards and said: "Stud at least two people compete on the same stage, now Ben Hou acts as a dealer to deal cards, and the four act as a blog, Let's play a few times to familiarize ourselves with the rules, and after we understand it, Ben Hou will gamble with Jianhou on the fate of Lin Xian'er, and now start dealing cards! β
After Chen Xu finished speaking, he put a hole card in front of Zhao Hai, Meng Yi, Zhao Ying, and Yang Yu, "I just said, this is a dark card, you can only blog your own knowledge, don't show it to the outside world, the four can cover themselves to watch, and then through the hidden cards and the next open cards to judge whether they want to follow or raise, the winner of the last round has to bet on all ......"
