Chapter 4 Gambling
Who shouted? Who disagrees?
"It's the slave who said it," Seeing everyone looking over, a wisp of pink floated on Jia Honghong's face, which made her even more gorgeous: "It's really presumptuous, I'm sorry for everyone." ”
"......" The crowd was a little speechless. Who are you, what's the matter with your little lady here? None of the many noblewomen knew her.
"The slave has a little thought," although Jia Hongxian was shy, she understood the words, so that everyone could hear them clearly, and her voice was very beautiful, and no one stopped her for a while: "Today, everyone got together, and it was not a small fate to encounter this gambling contract." ”
There were many superstitious people in the Great Song Dynasty, and the richer they were, the more superstitious they were. So when it comes to fate, it's a little more comfortable.
"Since there is fate, why not share some profits. It's better than watching from the sidelines. It's better to open a handicap, buy the little lady to win, one to five, buy the king's shopkeeper, ten to one, the slave family and both sides have nothing to do with it, if everyone does not dislike it, the slave will sit in this dealer, how? ”
Gambling, called Guan Pu in the Song Dynasty, was the most popular activity for the people. It's like when playing mahjong in later generations, a greeting can attract a group of people.
"That's a good idea."
"I'm the granddaughter of the Taishi, whoever is who, buy fifty guan Wang shopkeeper."
"I am the daughter-in-law of the squire, and I will also buy fifty guan as the king's shopkeeper."
"Whose family am I, who is who, who is who, buy a hundred king shopkeepers."
……
The shopkeeper sent a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Jia Hongxian quickly recorded everyone's bets and names. Although her voice is noisy, her pen is not messy.
After a while, Jia Hongxian saw that his voice gradually stopped, and no one bet anymore, so he raised his head and said: "The capital of the existing betting king shopkeeper is a total of 2,300 yuan. ”
Then, after a pause, he continued: "No, I bet on Ren Xiaoxiao's little lady." ”
Hehe, the room suddenly remembered a mocking laughter.
See, the lady's eyes are bright, no one is blind to bet on the countryman, isn't that throwing money in vain?
Vote for the king's shopkeeper and win. Although the loss is less, it takes ten times to lose the consistent money, but the consistent money is also money.
Fortunately, they are all people with status and well-informed, and the gambling game in front of them is not big, and too much money will be crushed. The people who sit in the village don't know it, and they don't seem to be upper-class people, but they dare to open in the best jewelry store in the capital, and they should be somewhat wealthy. A plate of two or three thousand is more suitable.
Everyone knows each other well, and the money must be clearly calculated. What's more, the dealer is not an acquaintance of them, and they have to ask clearly and clearly.
At that moment, a noble lady asked: "I don't know if the banker's principal is enough." ”
Jia Hongxian smiled at the woman who asked and nodded, "It should be enough." ”
As she spoke, she took off the bracelet in her hand, handed it to the shopkeeper Wang, and asked, "Shopkeeper Wang, do you think this bracelet is enough to compensate?" ”
Shopkeeper Wang has been doing this business for decades, his eyes are the price list, and he only glanced at it and nodded and said, "The little lady's bracelet is at least five hundred yuan, which is enough." ”
He didn't think that Ren Xiaoxiao would win at all. If you win, then buy your own 2,300 yuan, ten to one, but two hundred and thirty yuan, this bracelet is still rich after the loss.
When the ladies heard that the money had not yet been made, they immediately became noisy.
"Raise!"
"Raise!"
"I'm going to raise too!"
Jia Hongxian nodded and said, "Don't worry, come one by one, and the slaves will write it down." ”
After a while, the stakes were added, and Jia Hongxian reported a set of numbers: under the name of the shopkeeper Wang, six thousand four hundred, under the name of Ren Xiaoxiao, no.
There was another ridicule.
After a while, someone asked: "Can the dealer pay back?" "The bracelet is only 500 yuan, and now there are more than 6,000 yuan to buy the king's shopkeeper, and if the shopkeeper wins, he will lose more than 600 yuan. And it's useless to buy Ren Xiaoxiao's penny, this compensation has to fall on the dealer.
"The slave family still has some money." Jia Hongxian is still so gentle but firm.
After speaking, she handed the bracelet to the shopkeeper Wang, and said that the shopkeeper said: "Shopkeeper Wang, this bracelet will be put in the store first and made a mortgage." ”
The shopkeeper Wang is a gambler and should not have taken the banker's funds. But there is no one else here who is more suitable for notarization, so put it in the store, with the gold-lettered signboard of the royal jewelry store, everyone believes it. The shopkeeper did not shirk either.
He took it to rest assured, if he didn't win and the dealer ran away, how would he pay the ladies for this money? These female heroes will not go to the dealer, they will only ask for money.
"The slave thinks that the principal of the slave dealer is a little small, and you don't seem to be happy. Such a happy event, leaving some regrets is not beautiful. Why don't you let the slave's family spend two days, and wait for the slave to raise some capital, so that you can have a good time? Jia Hongxian doesn't seem to feel that it's enjoyable, and she has to increase it.
"Good!" No one is too much money for nothing. And it's very unpleasant to start gambling now. The shopkeeper Wang is generous, even if he wins, he will not let the countrymen climb out of Bianliang, so that the spectators will have less great fun, if it ends in such a hurry, it will be too cheap for this countryman.
I can wait two more days to relieve my anger. When the time comes, call relatives and friends to humiliate her together, and then relieve her anger.
This dealer is a second man! Give money and have fun.
The shopkeeper Wang felt that it was inappropriate at first. Comparing treasures with countrymen, there is nothing to brag about if you win, but if you lose, you will not only lose face, but also damage the store's signboard. Is that good?
Without waiting for him to understand, Jia Hongxian smiled and said to Shopkeeper Wang: "Shopkeeper Wang, this is a pleasure for women, and if you want to come to Wang's jewelry store, you will definitely make it happen." ”
At this point, what else can the king's shopkeeper say? He didn't want to offend so many "heroines" of the Beijing Division, so he nodded and agreed.
Ren Xiaoxiao almost stomped her feet angrily, no one even bought herself, wouldn't she be very faceless.
Qin Mu pinched her hand and signaled to be calm.
He didn't know what the rules of Da Song's gambling game were. After all, Shopkeeper Wang didn't buy himself, and all the people who bought him won were outsiders, and he and Ren Xiaoxiao were in the same group, and everyone could see it. Qin Mu didn't know if he could buy Ren Xiaoxiao to win.
Before he could ask, Wang Tai spoke first.
"I'll buy 6,400 yuan, and let the lady win."
