Chapter 17: Good Luck Mahjong Parlor
Zheng Lingling nodded and said, "Oh, I forgot." Xiaolou, then I'll go back and bring me the first wish tomorrow. ”
Chen Xiangfang said coquettishly: "Xiaolou, you are so bad, why are you bewitching Lingling." Then he said, "Then you two should be careful, don't get into the quagmire and can't get out." ”
Chen Xiangfang took out a basket of oranges she brought, took out a few, and stuffed them into Li Guolou's hands, as if the oranges were too small and could be touched together with all four hands. She said softly and infinitely: "Xiaolou, take it and eat it on the way." ”
Li Guolou felt that he had taken advantage of it, and said infinitely grateful: "Thank you!" Xiaofang should be careful when she goes back at night. ”
Chen Xiangfang was reluctant to let go, and said with affection: "Don't worry, Xiaolou, I am a kung fu woman, and I haven't met an opponent yet." You can't stand me for three rounds. ”
Li Guolou was stunned, covered in sweat, what does this mean? Are the three rounds in hand-to-hand, or in the mahogany bed? I don't understand. He was a little ashamed of why people had physical desires.
Li Guolou stepped out of the threshold, and only then did he remember that there was a long way to go, as if this matter was unreliable, he had not yet stepped into the six doors, how to do it to catch the old man.
"That bazi, let's go to arrest Lao Qian, as if we are sending us to death with our own money, the masters of the six doors of this matter have all admitted it, why do you think I can do it." Li Guolou said suspiciously.
The courtyard was dotted with people, as if they were basking in the moon. Na Bazi said loudly: "Third brother, don't be modest, your big brother knows what you can do." The big brother didn't get caught by you when he stole the card, you didn't know that your ability was bigger than the sky. I'm a victorious general in the capital, and I've been ruined by you. Now those few tricks can no longer be used. ”
Li Guolou thought of playing cards with Nabazi, and couldn't help laughing, it was his strength to catch cards and play cards. Others didn't see the flaws in the change of cards, but he was born with a pair of sharp eyes, like to watch people's actions, and guess people's hearts. It was because of a small action that he recognized the stealing of the cards and took them out. I didn't expect that Naba Zi remembered it until now, thinking that he could complete the task of catching Lao Qian.
Li Guolou walked out of the courtyard with confidence, unveiled the first step to do fast arrest, and the way to enter the yamen of the criminal department still had to rely on himself. He opened the orange and chewed it, it was so sour!
On the carriage, Na Bazi remembered and admonished: "Third brother, your top boss Yao Cuo is a narrow-minded person, but he pretends to be bold, you must not be in the limelight, and all the credit must be said to be Yao Cuo." A low-key man with a dog with a tail between his legs, you know? ”
Li Guolou suddenly jumped to the side where Na Bazi was sitting, pinched Na Bazi's throat, and said angrily: "Say! Wang Ba Lamb, who is the dog with the tail between them? ”
Nabazi broke Li Guolou's two wrists and hissed, "Okay, good!" I'm a dog with a tail between my legs, and you're a lamb. ”
Li Guolou snorted, sat down again, pointed at the bastard, and shouted: "You kid, a dog can't spit out ivory from his mouth." Someday we're going to break it. ”
Na Bazi said angrily: "I don't rob Xiaofang with you, do you want to turn your face with me?" As for your money, who will be gone by then, you know it, think about how to do a good job in the business of Baozhifang. ”
Li Guolou was angry and stammered: "You, you, are there people like you?" When I borrowed the money, I said that it was very good and full of confidence, and now I haven't opened a store yet, how did it come to my head. ”
Nabazi admonished: "This is a lesson for you, don't trust people's promises easily." I'm here for your good, home and all things are prosperous. You don't just know that you eat your family, your fellow villagers in Anhui will run more and invite all the big families there into the Baozhi room, which is the glorious task that I and Xiaofang gave you, and no one is missing. ”
Li Guolou only nodded in approval, and then said, "Third brother, remember!" Don't bring the officials and brothers from the yamen to the Baozhi room. They will only call each other brothers, and they will get drunk when it comes time to pay. There are also officials and gentlemen who invite guests to play white slips, which have no interest and will not turn into silver. Got it? ”
Li Guolou scratched his forehead and said, "Big brother, can't you even invite Shangguan to Baozhi's room?" It doesn't seem like much. ”
Nabazi shook his head and said: "You are my uncle, I beg you, those people who catch fast are tasteless, you invite them to Huamanlou to drink flower wine, I don't want Baozhifang to become a teahouse in the yamen in the future." ”
Li Guolou understood, it turned out that his future brothers and chiefs were all bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and they were not treated well, and even the one who liked to make friends the most did not want to eat and drink with the catcher.
Li Guolou asked: "Big brother, how do you say you want to get along with Yao Cuo so that you can be safe?" ”
Nabazi said: "Third brother, remember, pretend to be a grandson, say that Yao is wrong enough buddy, righteousness is thin Yuntian, Guan Yunchang is reincarnated." No matter which brother you are in front of, you have to say good things about Yao, those bastards who eat you and use yours will sell you when you turn around, only we are good brothers, the eldest brother will take advantage of you at most, and never fool you in big things. ”
Li Guolou nodded, pondered for a moment and said: "Nabazi, you fooled me just now, the matter of Baozhifang has made me more and more emboldened, and I am afraid that my money will be wasted." ”
Nabazi laughed and said, "Who is with whom our brothers!" The family doesn't speak two words. Lo and behold, the good luck mahjong parlor has arrived! ”
The night is dark, there are two palace lamps hanging at the door of the good luck mahjong hall, swaying non-stop, Li Guolou stepped into the door with one foot, which will open the prelude to his wonderful life.
The good luck mahjong hall is full of people, and the uproar is the sound of mahjong. There were more than a dozen tables in the hall, and it was already full. There are a lot of bird cages all over the head, and these are brought by the gamblers. There were a few more private rooms to the south, and the bazi opened the curtain and walked into the second room. With an invitation in his hand, Li Guolou entered with a smile on his face.
said that it would start at seven o'clock, and Li Guolou came just right. He arched his hand and smiled: "Everyone, brother is sorry for the delay in eating. ”
There were three people sitting in the room, and everyone nodded to each other as a greeting.
Yao Cuo's face is red, thick-bodied, and at first glance, he is a practitioner. The five-short figure is very different from Guan Gong, and the beard on his face leans on top of the beautiful beard. He looked up at Li Guolou and nodded slightly, those eyes were obviously not Danfeng eyes, and he deliberately squinted and pretended to be green onions.
Li Guolou knew at a glance that the boss Yao Cuo was a fan of the Three Kingdoms and a hardcore royalist of Guan Yunchang.
The other person was the one brought by Yao Cuo, who was thin and thin, and when he saw the bazi coming in, he immediately stood up and gave up his seat. Li Guolou glanced at it and knew that this was Yao Cuo's little follower. Thoughts: How do people look like this, "Guan Yunchang" doesn't let the little brother eat enough?
Waiting for Li Guolou to sit down, he carefully looked at the old man in Wuxi, who called himself Fan Dana, with a white face, a thin body, and a man in his thirties.
Li Guolou looked carefully at Fan Dana's two hands, the slender ten fingers, and the left thumb was wearing a jade jade wrench. This kind of person is thrown on the street, no one will take a second look, and an ordinary person will not leave after winning hundreds of taels of silver. This person must be extremely proud in his heart and look down on anyone around him. Although he smiled casually, Li Guolou knew that Fan Dana looked down on him. Today, a young man wants to catch Lao Qian, Fan Dana has already been refined into steel, and he will not take him seriously.
The four of them touched the direction of the wind and took their seats in turn. Li Guolou sat in the west, the upper house was Nabazi, the next house was Wuxi Lao Fan Dana, and the Tianmen was the "detective" Yao Cuo.
The proprietress Xiaocui coquettishly picked up the curtain and came in to deliver water, throwing a flattering look at Yao Cuo, and saw that there was a new face today, a little white face. A hand was already on Li Guolou's shoulder, and with a gentle brush, the fragrance on his body wafted, making Li Guolou almost want to vomit when he smelled it.
In a place like a mahjong parlor, someone specially lit a hookah for gamblers, and the air was filled with a choking smell of smoke, coupled with the rich smell of cheap perfume from the proprietress Xiao Cui, the whole room was filled with a strange atmosphere. Fortunately, none of the five people in this room smoked shisha, and none of them smoked Fushou cream. There is also a room here dedicated to gamblers to smoke Fushou paste, now smoking Fushou paste is no longer the patent of the rich, the Chinese have been in the Yunnan-Guizhou area, planting a large area of opium poppy, but the purity of the refining is not enough, high-grade Fushou paste still needs to be imported.
There are snacks like dates, sweets and so on on the table. Li Guolou was treated well, the proprietress Xiao Cui twisted her waist, peeled a piece of candy with her own hands, handed it to Li Guolou's mouth, and said coquettishly: "Xiaolou, come often in the future, just treat this as home, the dishes here are all handled by the slave family, remember to eat next time." ”
Li Guolou's face was embarrassed, he looked at Na Bazi and Yao Cuo, hurriedly reached out and took the candy, threw it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Mmmmmmmm ”
Yao Cuo laughed and said, "Little white face is popular, I have never eaten Xiaocui's candy." ”
The words smelled of vinegar, and the sourness made people goosebumps, Li Guolou chuckled in his heart, don't leave a bad impression on Yao Cuo.
Xiao Cui's hand brushed over Li Guolou's face, and he said with white eyes: "Brother Yao, I don't dare to agree to your request, Sister-in-law Gu will come to the door with a broom, I don't want to be scratched." ”
Yao Cuo's face sank, and he said angrily: "Xiaocui, why don't you open which pot to mention, it's not that I can't get off the stage." Don't talk about it in the future. ”
A piece of candy in Xiaocui's hand was fed to Yao Cuo's mouth, and he said coquettishly: "Okay! If you don't mention it, don't mention it, Brother Yao remembers to come often, who called us a family. ”
Yao Cuo's light bones fluttered, and he glanced around triumphantly, this is his field, everyone has to be honest.
