Chapter II. 253

After the 'each according to what he needs' business was settled, Scar Man quickly left the place. It seems that he has no interest in other gambling methods at all.

As for Shen Gui, he didn't care how much money he deceived the 'Scar Man' this time. It was a surprise to meet him here. And in this transaction, the most important thing is to use the scar man's reaction to determine whether the truth of his speculation is correct or not. At the moment, there should be nothing wrong with it.

However, there is still no answer to the question: why did he bet on Li Zilin to make a heavy bet even though he let Li Le'an go away with his own hands? No one would bet on a game that they knew they would lose, especially since the biggest variable in this gamble was concocted by him himself.

As for saying that Yan Tian and Li Gao plan to get rid of Di Ting and eat a solo meal by themselves, this is purely Shen Gui 'adding disgust' to the three of them. Whether the scar man or Di Ting, whether they believe the news of buying it back at a high price or not, they will inevitably have some mustard and defensive thoughts. Because this rumor created by Shen Gui is very likely to happen. If Di Ting believes it, it will bring a lot of trust crisis to this cooperation; If they don't believe it, they can also use their next actions to find out what the Nankang business group that suddenly appeared is where it is.

Shen Gui, who had finished earning extra money, staggered back to the main room with the word 'Bo'. After entering the room, he just looked left and right, and then gathered in front of the table with the largest number of people.

In the center of this crowded platform are several portraits of men. Of course, there are still some merits in examining and exchanging from an artistic point of view; But from a realistic point of view, it is too thin to use it to wipe your buttocks. Fortunately, at the bottom of these portraits, the name of the person depicted is still written. Without exception, they are all children of the Li family who take the lead in the word 'Li'.

Shen Gui struggled to squeeze into the crowd and found that on top of each portrait, there was more or less silver on it. This is the first time Shen Gui has seen this kind of play, so he put on a smiling face and asked the people around him:

"Big brother, what kind of game is this? I've never seen it in Beiyan, can you give my brother some pointers? ”

The middle-aged man beside him smiled when he heard this, took Shen Gui's shoulders familiarly, pointed to the portraits and said:

"See? The men in these portraits are the most outstanding among the descendants of the Li family; Of course, it's not enough to be outstanding, you have to ...... By the way, are you married? ”

"Not ...... yet"

"Then it's hard to tell you too much. To put it simply, the men in these pictures are all 'immortals in flowers' among the younger generation of the Li family, and the name of this kind of game is called 'Hua Xianggong'. We are also betting on who can seduce the most good women in a month...... What do you think? Fresh, right? But since you're a foreigner, I advise you not to play at this table. Because this way of looking for flowers and asking willows is not just based on handsome appearance......"

This time Shen Gui was really an eye-opener, I didn't expect this inconspicuous platform to have such a magical way to play! Earlier, I had heard of gambling champions and oirans; This is really unheard of to use 'stinky hooligans' to gamble!

“…… Ay? When I was a child, I once heard Baoguan say that the hottest juniors of the Li family now are Li Zilin and Li Sanlin, the two young masters; But now when I look at these portraits, why don't I have the names of those two young masters......"

When the man heard Shen Gui's doubts, he immediately burst out laughing. Then he raised his head again and shouted in the opposite direction:

"Sanlin, this little brother from Beiyan, ask why you are not among these 'flower princesses'!"

Shen Gui was overjoyed when he heard this, he didn't expect that when he asked casually, Li Sanlin would obediently surface by himself!

Under the man's shouting, there was an ordinary-looking, even slightly obscene young man, who clasped his hands into fists and shouted loudly at Shen Gui:

"This brother has exalted Sanlin, how can you please a woman with my respectful face? If the portrait of Sanlin is really placed here, and no one bets on it, then wouldn't my Li Sanlin be disgraced? ”

This slightly self-deprecating remark caused the surrounding gamblers to laugh, and a few young men who obviously came with him spoke out to help him pick up his stinky feet:

"Our Sanlin brother is not such a flower-loving person...... "That is, our Sanlin brother is the next head of the Li family, how noble is his identity, how can he be compared with these swingers!" "Our Sanlin brother just doesn't want to do things that can't be put on the table! The big girls and little daughters-in-law who like our Sanlin brother can be lined up all the way from the Great Wilderness City to the Western Xinjiang! ”

As the saying goes, 'people gather by like, and things by groups'. What Li Sanlin is best at on weekdays is to pretend to be well-behaved and have a mouth full of honey. Relying on a tongue of flesh and the shameless spirit of death, Li Gao also wanted to make his grandson the whole future of the Li family. However, the life of always talking about sycophants also made Li Sanlin feel extremely depressed and depressed in the spiritual world; So, he also learned from him and raised a group of echo insects that made a living by slapping sycophants, and also helped him to make noise and sing praises all day long.

However, no matter how you look at his behavior, there is a suspicion of 'making money by selling ass and going to the kiln'.

Facing the sound of praise in his ears, Li Sanlin also showed a 'self-humble' smile, first made a circle to the gamblers around him, and then said to Shen Gui with a 'envy' in his eyes:

"None of us hillbillies have seen much of the world, which makes my brothers laugh. This great wilderness city is far inferior to your Yanjing, and these are the only little tricks that can be played. However, in Xia Pingsheng, I had to play and not be beautiful, so I simply watched from the wall and appreciated the 'heroics' of the brothers in the clan. ”

What he said was quite beautiful, but everyone present knew very well in their hearts: this Young Master Li Sanlin Li must be very 'confident' in his appearance and the aesthetic vision of the women of good families in the Great Wilderness City, so he simply retreated and moved forward and placed his affection on 'career and future'.

Li Sanlin is in a very good mood today, all because most of those local gamblers have put heavy bets on themselves. In this way, it means that everyone feels that their chances of succeeding the head of the family are the greatest among all the juniors. Don't underestimate the handicap opened by these gambling stalls, in some rich places in Nankang, some people with a discerning eye only need to look at the different handicaps opened by the gambling stalls to basically infer the economic trend of next year.

And Shen Gui also saw that Li Sanlin was in a good mood, and with his positive appearance, he went around a big circle, walked in front of Li Sanlin, clasped his hands into fists and bowed deeply:

"It turns out that this is Young Master Sanlin, who has heard of the name for a long time! When I saw it today, it was really a celestial posture! Qi Yan, a small person from Yanjing City, gave a gift to the next head of the Li family......"

Shen Gui said nice things flatteringly, while bending his legs and making a gesture to kneel on the ground; Although Li Sanlin is a fledgling 'raw melon egg', after all, he is also a young master born in a large family, how can he not understand the typical Beiyan style of 'Qi Yan'? According to their rules, if Li Sanlin really received this great gift, then the person who lost face would be himself.

"Hurry up...... Hurry up, our brothers are the same age and 'equal' in status, why do brothers give this big gift? …… According to Sanlin, the brother's dress should be a foot businessman, right? I wonder if this time I came to buy goods or sell them? ”

Shen Gui was supported by him, and he also stood up. Then he took out a gold medal from his arms, respectfully handed it to Li Sanlin, and then reported to himself:

"Although Qi is a person from Beiyan, he is in Nankang's Huayan Business Gang. Didn't the war between the two norths just end a few days ago? I also want to try my luck in the Great Wilderness City, and see if there is no chance to make a small fortune. Hey, if there is a war between these two norths, it will make us a small trader......"

The original owner of this gold medal handed over by Shen Gui was the dead 'big smoker' Lao Gui, and it was also the gang leader token of the Huayan Business Gang. However, in the eyes of outsiders, this is just a gold medal with fine workmanship. As for the four big characters engraved on the back, it can only show that the person holding this token was born in the Huayan Business Gang.

However, in Li Sanlin's opinion, this is a brand made of pure gold! If this Qi Yan is just an ordinary merchant with orders, the cost of this gold medal alone is enough to buy him a dog's life.

"Brother, don't be too humble, judging from the quality of this brand alone, you are definitely not an ordinary businessman who does a small business. Come on, let's find a quiet place to talk......"

It didn't take long for Shen Gui and Li Sanlin to come to the tavern again. But this time, Shen Gui, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, became the protagonist, while he, Li Sanlin, became a supporting role.

"Hey, this gold medal is something left over from before Jia Yan died. After I made an order in Huayan Shanggang, people didn't go back, so it can be regarded as a son inheriting his father's business. So don't look at the cost of this brand, and think I'm a wealthy businessman...... Look at my dress, and look at my age, if it weren't for my father's lifelong work in the Huayan Merchant Gang, I would have been blown away by them to settle the accounts......"

After two glasses of bad wine, Shen Gui began to nag Li Sanlin about his family affairs with the strength of the wine.

This is Shen Gui's consistent practice: if you want to lead people to speak, you often expose your shortcomings first. After removing the other party's vigilance and vigilance, isn't it possible for him to ask something?

Sure enough, when Li Sanlin heard this, he also felt a little empathetic. His father also died of illness at an early age; And not long after that, my mother also died of pain because of longing. So Li Sanlin is actually a child who grew up next to his grandfather. If it weren't for the untimely death of his father, how could 'such a heavy burden of the head of the family' fall on his 'still immature' shoulders?

Soon, the two of them used the strength of the wine to 'talk to each other' and shorten the distance between them. And Shen Gui also found the opportunity to mention the 'difficulties' he is encountering now in a 'timely manner'.
