Walking through a straight corridor, I saw a large plaque hanging directly above the gatehouse with five big characters on it---- Xie Shi Boyi Field.

Xie Laoliu was afraid that Zhou Xuan wouldn't notice, so he reminded: "Does Zhou Gongzi know who inscribed this plaque?" ”

Zhou Xuan squinted and looked at it, and the lower left corner of the plaque was written with Wei Xuan's inscription, and pretended to exclaim: "Wow, it's actually Wei Xiang's inscription, you Xie Family Casino has a big backer!" Although he is a salt merchant in Jinling and has a family fortune of millions, he has no chance to see Wei Xiang, and he is disrespectful. ”

Xie Laoliu said humbly: "Wei Xiang and my Xie family are in-laws, although they are good friends, but my Xie family never bullies others, pay attention to good neighborliness and friendship, my Xie family gets rich first, and it can also drive other villagers to prosper." ”

Zhou Xuan's forehead was sweating, he really didn't expect to hear such words in Tang Kingdom!

Entering from the gatehouse, I saw that the house entered even one by one, a total of nine entered, each entered with a large patio, the patio is surrounded by wooden houses, carved doors and windows, quite exquisite, one into is a special art field, the first entry is the money hall.

The so-called money, also known as dustpan money, the money game in the Han Dynasty was there, Zhou Xuan also played when he was a child, that is, the participants first held the money in their hands and bumped, and then threw it on the steps or the ground, and flattened in turn, to determine the winner by the number of positive and negative sides of the money, women and children especially like to play with money, Wang Jian's "Palace Words": "Spring comes to sleep sleepy and does not comb your hair, lazy to chase the north of the king's garden." Temporarily sit on the jade flower steps, and win two or three chips with dustpan money. It is a scene that depicts the concubines and palace maids who share money and gamble on the spring day. Zhou Xuan looked, ho, this casino business is still quite prosperous, around the patio around the bluestone slabs, there are about seven or eight pairs of people in two or two to share the money, some gamblers are gambling with the casino dealer, some are gamblers and gamblers betting, the casino draws the winner's money, one of the fifths, these gamblers have farmers, hawkers, merchants, porters...... One by one, they are very energetic to spread the money and gamble to win.

Cumin said happily: "Uncle." Cumin is betting on this. ”

The three idiots said: "Master, I also play two." ”

Lin Hanyun joined in the excitement and shouted, "I'll come too." ”

Zhou Xuan smiled: "Okay, then I'll also ---- Mr. Xie and ask the four dealers to come and gamble with the four of me." ”

Xie Lao Liu hurriedly called two people over, but there were not enough people, and he called the two dealers who were gambling to come here.

Xie Lao Liu asked, "How much did the two of them lose?" ”

The two dealers replied, "Seven hundred in total." ”

Xie Lao Liu said: "Give it back to them, and take care of big customers." "Zhou Xuan: They are big customers. Every bet must be more than fifty taels of silver, who is patient to win the seven hundred wen of those poor devils?

Li Tao said: "Zhou Gongzi." Xiaosheng went to find my uncle first. ”

Zhou Xuan nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Li, don't be anxious, don't be in a hurry to pull your uncle back, let him pull the book slowly." ”

Li Tao knew that Zhou Xuan's words meant to help his uncle. Immediately give a deep bow. The three of them went in wet.

The four masters of the Xie Casino stood neatly, uniformly dressed and energetic, staring at the silver bag carried by Laifu, so heavy.

Xie Lao Liu asked: "Zhou Gongzi, how do you say to gamble, a total of seven coins, is the copper coin more positive wins, or the negative side is more victorious?" ”

The side of the copper coin with the word is considered positive. The engraved side is considered the reverse side.

Zhou Xuan said: "There are many wins on the front, three times, two wins in three games, and the loser will pay fifty taels of silver, and there are four people on our side." Bet two hundred taels of silver. Rifle, bright silver. ”

Rifle immediately placed four ingots and fifty taels of silver on the stone railing of the patio. Bright and dazzling.

Xie Laoliu arched his hand and said: "Zhou Gongzi is really refreshing, he is worthy of being a huge rich man in Jinling, then start a bet, a priori money." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Mr. Xie, your gambling money hasn't been revealed yet." ”

Xie Lao Liu patted his head and hurriedly asked the steward around him to fetch two hundred taels of silver, which was also placed on the patio railing, which was twenty taels of small silver and ten ingots.

The other gamblers who shared the money stopped gambling and gathered to watch this gamble of four hundred taels of silver.

Zhou Xuandao: "I, Sister Hanyun, and cumin will bet once, and the third will play two more." He knew that for a master like the three idiots, if the nine copper coins were scattered, if they wanted it to be front, they would be positive, and if they wanted it to be negative, hehe, just wait for Xie Laoliu's face to turn green.

At the beginning of the apportionment, Zhou Xuan's side took the first step, the four sides of the patio, and the four pairs of people each occupied one side.

Zhou Xuandi's opponent was a middle-aged thin man, and he handed Zhou Xuan seven coins, and these seven coins had been dusted up many times, smooth and shiny.

Zhou Xuan put the money in his palm and shook it, and said silently in his heart: "Heavenly Spirit, Earth Spirit, bless me Zhou Xuan will win." Zhou Xuan really needs to be blessed to play this, it all depends on luck, after reciting the mantra, "hi", spread his hand, seven copper coins rolled to the ground, take a closer look, four positive and three negative, the chance of winning is not big. Lin Lei

The middle-aged thin man picked up the seven coins, dusted them in the palm of his hand for a while, and looked at the money, five positive and two negative.

Zhou Xuan lost the first game, but fortunately, he won two games in three games, and there was still a chance.

Zhou Xuan said to the thin man: "In the second game, you will go first." ”

The thin man didn't say a word, he threw the money after a while, six positive and one negative, the winning chance was huge, and Zhou Xuan only had a chance to enter the first game to win the first game.

Zhou Xuan held the money in his palm and slammed it viciously, and the Jingyi Fairy on the side couldn't help but purse his lips and chuckle when he looked at him like that.

Zhou Xuan recited the winning mantra twice in a row, threw the money down, and suddenly there was an exclamation, it turned out to be really seven positives.

Xie Lao Liu smiled and said, "Zhou Gongzi is so lucky, amazing!" Terrible! He said in his heart: "My Xie family has opened a casino for eight years, and I haven't seen anyone who is lucky, and in the end it is not a loss to go out!" ”

The third game, the tiebreaker, the casino stipulates that gamblers should be dusted first, Zhou Xuan dusted out six positive and one negative, luck is really good, it depends on what the thin man looks like, the thin man looked at the seven money very carefully, folded it in the palm of his hand, and began to dust, both hands were divided, and the seven coins were scattered and fell, and there was no collision with each other before falling.

The six coins are settled, five positive and one negative, and the last money is still rolling, as long as the money is also positive, then it is the same as six positive and one negative. It's the dealer wins.

The last copper coin bone rolled to the skirt of Xiahou's tassel, and then fell, spinning and shaking, Xiahou tassel is a practice of archery, eyesight, although the copper coin is jolting quickly, she can also see that this side is positive.

"It's not good, Zhou Xuan is going to lose!" Xiahou Tassel is now completely on Zhou Xuan's side, she doesn't want Zhou Xuan to lose, so she immediately pretends to retreat. The skirt is swirled, and the left foot is beaten at the same time. The copper coin had already weakened its speed of reversal, and when it was blown by the wind and shook by the slate, it staggered and rolled again, and when it fell, it was the opposite.

Zhou Xuan laughed and said, "Haha." I won! ”

Xie Lao Liu glared at the thin man. Blame him for not doing a good job, a copper coin rolls around.

The thin man glanced at Xiahou Tassel, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but finally didn't speak, what could he say? Xiahou Tassel didn't touch the money, he blamed himself for wanting to give his opponent a feeling of narrowly defeated, and now he regrets it.

Zhou Xuan knew it, came over and gently held Xiahou Tassel's hand, and said in her ear: "Tassel." Good job! ”

Xiahou's tasseled ears were numb and crispy by the heat of Zhou Xuan's mouth and nose, and his pretty face turned red, listening to Zhou Xuan's praise like this, he was simply overjoyed, and then felt that he shouldn't be so happy. The heart said: "What is there to be happy about. I'm just trying to get him to trust me and finally find out the secrets of the secret will. But the hand was held by Zhou Xuandi's big hand. made her feel so weak, as if Zhou Xuan was much stronger than her.

At this time, the other three apportionments had also been divided, and cumin timidly came over and said, "Uncle, cumin lost, lost fifty taels of silver." ”

The little girl's mouth is flat and flat, she is about to cry, fifty taels of silver, and Dr. Qin's annual income was only ninety taels in the past!

Zhou Xuan comforted: "It's okay, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, just let my uncle win." ”

Lin Hanyun said with a big grin: "Brother Zhou Xuan, I also lost, I don't care about this money, let's fight geese." ”

The three idiots came over and said, "Master, I won." ”

In this way, the two sides were tied 2-2, but Zhou Xuan and the three idiots won 100 taels of silver had to pay the casino one-fifth of the draw, and they went to 20 taels in vain.

Lin Hanyun shouted: "It's so unfair, it's too unfair, the draw also needs our money!" ”

Zhou Xuan smiled and said: "This is the rules of the casino, if you want to gamble, you have to abide by the rules, Mr. Xie, right?" ”

Xie Lao Liu was very dissatisfied when he saw that the two hundred taels of silver only received twenty taels, and said with a smile: "Does Zhou Gongzi still gamble and spread money?" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Bet, why don't you gamble?" Let my third subordinate bet with you, this bet will be doubled, one hundred taels of silver, how about it? ”

Xie Lao Liuxin said: "The bigger the bet, the better." "Immediately assigned the first master of Xie Casino, the thin man and the three idiots who had just lost to Zhou Xuan.

The method of the three idiots is similar to that of the thin man, which is to prevent the copper coins from colliding with each other when scattering the money, so as not to change the landing route of each copper coin.

In the first game, the three idiots spread out seven positives, and the thin man is also seven positives, casino rules, only to the tiebreaker gambler and the dealer draw is the dealer wins, so this first game is a draw.

In the second game, both sides were seven positives, and the suspense remained in the third game, but if it was still a draw, the three idiots lost.

In the third game, the three idiots were seven positives.

The first money master in Xie's casino is a little nervous, he has never seen such a powerful money gambler, although he usually wants the seven money a few positive, but he has not experienced such a big gamble, and his heart is still not steady.

The thin man stabilized his mind and scattered the seven copper coins in his hand, one, two, three, four, five, six, six copper coins were settled, all right, and the seventh one rotated endlessly---

The thin man felt a little strange, this money had been transferred for a long time, and according to his experience, it should have been set a long time ago.

The seventh coin is finally set, and on the contrary, the three idiots have won!

The thin man's face was pale, and he didn't dare to look at Xie Lao Liu.

The three idiots won a hundred taels, and they were taken out of twenty taels, and after getting rid of the twenty taels in the last round, they only won sixty taels, which was too child's play, and it couldn't satisfy Zhou Xuandi's appetite at all.

"Mr. Xie, my subordinates narrowly won, does Mr. Xie still dare to fight? This time, I will raise the bet again, five hundred taels, and if you want to lose, you will lose all of it, and I will immediately send someone back to the town to move the silver. Zhou Xuan added.

Xie Lao Liu looked at the thin man and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter with you?" ”

The thin man was ashamed and said, "I missed." ”

"Is there still a complete grasp?"

"Yes!"

Xie Lao Liu knows the ability of the thin man, the thin man once spread out forty handfuls in a row, and it is rare to miss a hand, since he has already missed once, it is impossible to miss it in a row. Xie's casino was not so unlucky, and said with a smile: "What is there that you don't dare to fight, isn't it five hundred taels of silver?" Go, and bring another three hundred and forty pieces of silver. ”

After a while, a total of 1,000 taels of silver from both sides were listed on the stone railing of the patio.

In the first two games, both sides each showed two full positives, and in the decisive game, the three idiots were full positives.

The thin man's hand trembled, nervous, a thousand taels of silver. Who would have thought that someone would gamble so much!

Xie Lao Liu shouted: "Dry firewood, stabilize it for me!" ”

It turned out that the thin man's name was Ganchai. Ganchai walked around the patio, finally settled down, and began to scatter money, all six positive. But the seventh one kept turning. The thin man's heart rose to his throat, and he couldn't help but shout in a trembling voice: "Positive, positive, positive." ”

Lin Hanyun and cumin screamed: "Anti! Anti! Anti! ”

The thin man's voice was obviously no match for Lin Hanyun and the others, and the copper coin was finally fixed on the opposite side.

The thin man lost his mind for a while, pointed at the three idiots and shouted: "He is playing Laipi, why does his feet keep shaking?" ”

Zhou Xuan laughed: "Everyone has their own posture, and the third child loves to stand and shake his feet, which rule of the casino is this violation?" Mr. Xie. If you can't afford to lose so much, then I don't want the five hundred taels of silver, you take it back, and I will leave immediately. ”

Xie Lao Liu hurriedly said: "What did Zhou Gongzi say, my Xie Casino is the leading casino in the ten counties in the southeast. I can't afford to lose just 500 or 2 pairs. But if you take the five hundred taels ----, you will put away the four hundred taels of silver. ”

Zhou Xuan praised: "Mr. Xie really can afford to put it down." It's a big thing, so is it still gambling to make money? ”

Xie Laoliu shook his head again and again: "Ganchai is not feeling well today---- Ganchai is not it?" ”

The thin man quickly covered his stomach: "I, I have a stomachache." ”

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Then go in and take a look at the fighting goose." ”

Xie Laoliu led the way in front, walked through three houses, respectively, the cockfighting hall, the duck fighting hall, the fourth into the goose fighting hall, the goose fighting hall is relatively deserted, I didn't see anyone fighting geese, I saw a few goose pens under the west corridor, there were more than a dozen silver geese in it, there was a big pimple on the top of the head like a crane top red, with a high neck and chest, and screamed.

Xie Lao Liu said: "Zhou Gongzi, which of you wants to fight geese?" ”

Lin Hanyun said enthusiastically: "I! ”

Xie Lao Liu said: "Then please Miss choose one of the more than ten geese, and then my casino will pick one of the remaining geese selected by Miss, and the two geese will fight each other, and whoever loses if the goose loses and does not dare to fight again." ”

Lin Hanyun said: "Okay, I'll choose." Walked to the goose pen and looked left and right, pointed to a goose with the largest neck and asked Zhou Xuan: "Brother Zhou Xuan, how about I choose this goose?" ”

Zhou Xuan took a look, this goose is big, but the coat color is not silvery, and there are many hairs on the neck that have been pulled off, revealing red goose skin, so he knows that this goose is a general who is often defeated. He pointed to the medium-sized, quick-headed goose in the other column.

Lin Hanyun listened to Zhou Xuan's words very much in gambling, and said, "Okay, then this one." ”

Xie Lao Liu glanced at each other with the dealer of the Goose Fighting Pavilion, and said in his heart: "This surnamed Zhou's eyesight is good, and he actually picked out the second place in the Goose Pavilion to fight the goose, but even if you pick the first goose, you are not afraid, there is always a way to win you." ”

The casino guy took out the goose that Lin Hanyun had chosen and tied a red ribbon around his neck to distinguish it.

The dealer of the Fighting Goose Pavilion chose the smallest goose, which looked stupid and was far less flexible than the one selected by Zhou Xuan.

Xie Lao Liu asked: "How big is the bet on the goose you chose?" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "In gambling, I like to bet on everything, I bet a thousand taels." ”

The gambler bets on a thousand taels, and the dealer naturally wants to follow, Xie Lao Liu's triangular eyes narrowed: "Okay, I'm also a thousand taels, Lao Wu, go get a thousand taels of silver to put on it." ”

Laifu carried nearly 1,000 taels of silver weighing more than 60 catties, and said diligently: "It's so heavy, I won't be able to carry it if I add another 1,000 taels, wait for Mr. Lao San to help me carry it." ”

Xie Lao Liu's beard was crooked, and he said in his heart: "This dead man wants to be beautiful, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to carry the silver, so I won't need you to carry it soon, I'll lose it all, fool!" ”

The east corridor is the goose fighting field, clean and clean, two geese enter the ground, as if the enemy meets the eyes of the red, the goose with red silk tied around the neck "snort" twice, fiercely pounced on the mouth and bites.

The little goose has been stunned, and then suddenly woke up, and it was also a loud cry of "smack", the voice was very loud, and the body went down, and it drilled under the wings of the red silk goose, and then twisted its neck to attack the butt of the red silk goose, and the goose's buttocks had less hair, and it was bitten very painfully.

Lin Hanyun shouted: "Flash! Flash! ”

The red silk goose was also agile, and hurriedly turned around, and the goose's buttocks were bitten by small tongs, and he was slightly injured, and he screamed, and rushed up more fiercely.

The three idiots and Lin Hanyun, cumin and others stood by the fence to watch the battle, Zhou Xuan accompanied Fairy Jingyi to stand by the patio, the rain was still falling, and the rain splashed out of the patio from time to time, staining on the white robe of Fairy Jingyi Yue, the robe was a little transparent, and the shadow of the thin round waist was sufficient.

Zhou Xuan asked: "Sister Daoyun doesn't like to watch fighting geese, right?" ”

Fairy Jingyi said with a smile: "I don't like these bloody brawls, but since I have bet so much silver, Nudao is very concerned about winning or losing." ”

Zhou Xuan smiled "hehe": "Then let's take a closer look, we should be about to decide the winner." ”

In the goose fighting field, the little goose has already gained the upper hand, although the red silk goose is tenacious, but it has been pecked several times in succession, and it is a little afraid of fighting, so anxious that Lin Hanyun pulled the sleeves of the three idiots, which means to let the three idiots help.

The little goose is pressing forward step by step, the red silk goose is retreating step by step, at this moment, the little goose suddenly shook his body, his head was crooked, and he seemed to be hit by something, the red silk goose deserved to be the second brave goose in the goose hall, and he saw the opportunity, stretched his neck and pecked sharply, and actually pecked the goose eye on the left side of the little goose blindly, and the blood flowed.

The red silk goose took advantage of the victory to pursue, aimed at the opponent's neck and pecked wildly, the little goose was blind in one eye, this time it really became a stupid goose, there was no power to fight back, a few times was pecked to the ground, the red silk goose triumphantly sang to the sky: "---- ---- ----"

Xie Lao Liu and the dealer of the goose hall were silent for a long time, watching Laifu smile and collect the cash, Laifu also knew the rules, only collected eight hundred taels, leaving two hundred taels of taps, and the three idiots carried it heavily.

Fairy Jingyi whispered in Zhou Xuan's ear: "Brother Xuan, this is really like the monk Wuyun won Xue Chang's cockfighting final." ”

Zhou Xuan smiled "hey" and said, "I will also scatter the money I won like the fifth child." ”

Lin Hanyun clapped his hands and praised the red silk goose, and offered to buy this goose, a hero.

"No, no, the goose can't be sold, haha." Xie Lao Liu felt that his mouth was a little bitter, and he smiled very reluctantly, less than half an hour, he Xie Casino had lost 1,400 taels of silver, which had never happened before, Xie Casino had two, the casino in Shangrao County was bigger, and this small casino only had 4,000 taels of liquid gambling silver, and the casino had never won or lost, but I didn't expect to worry that the gambling silver was not enough to lose!

Zhou Xuan asked: "Does Mr. Xie still gamble?" ”

Xie Laoliu gritted his teeth and said, "Bet." He smiled in his heart: "I see how much silver you can win me?" I'm afraid you don't have the ability to bring it back to Yongfeng Town! ”
