Chapter 476: Danger is not chaotic
Due to the urgency of time, Liu Hongmei immediately asked Zining to pack up, bring some change of clothes and prepare to talk to Li Hongyu... lā??? ≤≠≈≥≥
Originally, Liu Hongmei wanted to let the maids who served by Zi Ning's side go with Zi Ning, but Li Hongyu politely refused, and Liu Hongmei could still leak it out under the condition of strict guarding, it was obviously done by the inner ghost, and it was someone close to Zi Ning, otherwise how could she know so much?
So of course Li Hongyu couldn't bring the people of Drunken Moon Pavilion with him, Liu Hongmei also thought of this after being rejected by Li Hongyu, so she didn't insist and handed over Zining's luggage to Li Hongyu's guards.
Li Hongyu agreed with Liu Hongmei that he would come to the Zuiyue Pavilion on the afternoon of August 15 and let the singers and dancers who danced with Zining continue to rehearse and dance, so as to give the outside world a false impression that Zining would still be used for the competition.
Liu Hongmei's hopes now are pinned on Li Hongyu, so she naturally obeyed Li Hongyu's orders, and said that she would definitely let those singing and dancing girls practice diligently.
"Oh, Sister Hong, Zining is going out!" Not long after everyone left the courtyard where Li Hongyu lived, a beautiful woman came to them, followed by two maids, and said to Liu Hongmei with a smile.
"I don't know which eats inside and out, leaking the repertoire of our Drunken Moon Pavilion to participate in the Oiran Conference, it should be struck by lightning."
Liu Hongmei's face turned cold when she saw the beautiful woman, and she said with a sneer, "If I find out, I will definitely serve the family!" ”
As she spoke, Liu Hongmei ignored the glamorous woman and led Li Hongyu past her.
At the moment of misalignment, Li Hongyu keenly noticed that there was a hint of schadenfreude on the corner of the beautiful woman's mouth, and his brows suddenly wrinkled, it seemed that this person was Hongxia.
Li Hongyu has been in the Drunken Moon Pavilion for so long, so he naturally knows some unknown secrets of the Drunken Moon Pavilion, and knows that this beautiful woman named "Hongxia" is the one who wants to seize Liu Hongmei's position, and the two can be described as out-and-out rivals, fighting openly and secretly for the principal of the Drunken Moon Pavilion, and the relationship is extremely bad.
Don't look at the two of them fighting so fiercely now, in fact, they have a lot of origins, Liu Hongmei can be said to be Hongxia's master, and once taught the young Hongxia song and dance, which made Hongxia win Tanhua in one fell swoop at the Jiangnan Oiran Conference fifteen years ago, and the two have a friendship between master and apprentice, and the relationship is close.
However, in recent years, as Hongxia has grown older, she has begun to find a way back for herself, and it is undoubtedly the best choice to take charge of the Drunken Moon Pavilion, but this will inevitably conflict with Liu Hongmei's interests, and a pair of masters and apprentices finally turned against each other.
Hongxia is young after all, at this time her biggest capital, under her aggressive offensive, Liu Hongmei gradually became a little powerless, and was snatched away from many distinguished guests by her, in order to protect herself, she could not hope that Zining would win the championship at this Oiran Conference.
Li Hongyu can guess from Hongxia's smug smile that the reason why the ten ** things will be leaked is what this person said, and his purpose is naturally to hit Liu Hongmei.
For Hongxia's behavior, Li Hongyu only shook his head secretly in his heart, he did not object to Hongxia and 6 Hongmei competing for the position, the two could rely on their own abilities and use their own means to defeat each other, but the premise was that the interests of the Drunken Moon Pavilion could not be harmed.
Hongxia actually took the matter of the Oiran Conference as a child's play, and wanted to stop Zi Ning from winning the championship through this kind of subordinate means, she had already violated a taboo, that is, she had damaged the interests of the boss behind the scenes of the Drunken Moon Pavilion, I am afraid that this would bury a huge hidden danger for her.
After all, Hongxia is just a chess piece in the hands of the boss behind the scenes, no boss wants to see people who are regarded as chess pieces harm their own interests, and it is also related to whether the Drunken Moon Pavilion can reach the top of the Jiangnan Qinglou Kui Oiran Conference, such disobedient chess pieces can only be abandoned, anyway, there are many people who can be used as chess pieces.
Li Hongyu felt that Hongxia was a little pampered and arrogant, and she was a little unscrupulous in relying on the favor of the boss behind the scenes, I am afraid that even if Zining loses this time, she will not be able to get her wish, and will be replaced by other people, and the result will definitely be worse than Liu Hongmei.
At night, the family in Yangzhou City is crowded with people and the casino is very lively.
Li Hongyu and Yang Li'er, who dressed as men, and Zi Ning went to the gambling room to play Western flower cards under the guidance of the casino maid, and now the most popular in Jiangnan casinos is the Western flower card "Everyone's Happiness", compared to Pai Gow and dice, "Everyone's Happiness" gambling method is more exciting, and it is also the most able to avoid cheating, after all, there are no see-through glasses and other items that can cheat.
Li Hongyu and Yang Li'er are no strangers to this casino, and it was here that the two met, and Li Hongyu mistook him for a person from a smuggling syndicate, which led to a series of incidents.
Unlike Li Hongyu and Yang Li'er, who were in high spirits, Zi Ning looked anxious, looking preoccupied, she originally thought that Li Hongyu would write music overnight, but she didn't think that Li Hongyu brought her to the casino, and when she thought that she didn't even have a repertoire to participate in the Oiran Conference, she was naturally very anxious.
Zining once tactfully reminded Li Hongyu of her bad situation now, but Li Hongyu didn't care at all, which made her feel very helpless.
Because of the proximity to the Jiangnan Oiran Conference, famous businessmen and wealthy families from all over the Ming Dynasty have rushed to Yangzhou City to see the excitement, which makes the casino appear many richly dressed, speaking local dialects of distinguished guests, greeting each other, talking and laughing.
"Excuse me, do the three sons go to the ordinary room or the private room?" Coming to the place where the chips were exchanged for the city, the middle-aged man in charge of exchanging chips said with a smile, "There is no limit to the number of silver taels exchanged for ordinary rooms, and there is no upper limit for one thousand taels of silver in private rooms." ”
"Elegant room!" Li Hongyu didn't want to think about it, and threw the silver ticket of 10,000 taels on the table in front of the middle-aged man, he came to the casino this time to bring Zining to see the world and relax, so naturally he would not go to the ordinary room.
The middle-aged man saw that Li Hongyu made a generous move, so he exchanged chips for Li Hongyu with a smile, and the business of the casino during the Jiangnan Oiran Conference was more than twice as good as usual, and the merchants in the city also made a lot of money, no wonder the local businessmen spared no effort to organize the Jiangnan Oiran Conference.
After exchanging the chips, Li Hongyu and his party were taken into a private room by the maid who led the way, where a gambling table was placed, and several richly dressed men were gambling against each other, and many gamblers gathered around to watch the excitement.
For gamblers, this kind of play of Western flower cards is not only exciting but also very ornamental, and it is a very pleasant thing to watch the gamblers fight wits and courage.
Li Hongyu glanced at it, and there were more than 100,000 taels of chips on the table, and it seemed that those gamblers were playing quite big.
"Sit there." Seeing that there was still a free seat on the gambling table, Li Hongyu nodded at Zi Ning, who was standing uneasily beside him, and said in a deep voice.
"Me?" Zi Ning came back to her senses when she heard this, and looked at Li Hongyu with some surprise, she had been busy with the affairs of the Oiran Conference, and had not yet come into contact with Western flower cards, so she didn't know anything about how to play "everyone's music".
"With me and Brother Sheng here, don't be afraid." Seeing that Zi Ning looked a little timid, Yang Lian'er couldn't help but smile and said, Li Hongyu can be said to be the ancestor of the "everyone's fun" game, and it will be difficult for Zi Ning to lose if he is there.
"If you lose, it's mine, and if you win, donate it to the Charity Hall of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce in your name." Li Hongyu smiled slightly, comforting Zi Ning and said, "If you don't even dare to try this, how can you deal with the next Oiran Conference?" ”
"Hmm!" Zi Ning bit her lip when she heard this, then nodded to Li Hongyu and Yang Li'er, and stepped forward to sit in front of the empty gaming table, Li Hongyu and Yang Li'er sat on the seats on either side of her.
Seeing that there were newcomers seated, the people at the scene couldn't help but look over, and when they saw that the people who came were three young boys, they couldn't help but shake their heads in private.
It turned out that these gamblers at the gambling table had been playing in the casino for a few days, and they were very good at playing Western flower cards, which made no one dare to sit on the empty seat on the gambling table.
Several gamblers at the table glanced at Li Hongyu and the three of them and looked away, looking at the cards on the table intently, this is not only a battle for wealth, but also a duel of reputation, the winner can accept everyone's congratulations, people of their level care more about reputation than money.
No one at the scene was optimistic about the appearance of Li Hongyu and the three, thinking that the three newborn calves were not afraid of tigers, and they dared to sit down without knowing the height of the sky.
However, as the gambling game progressed, the people at the scene were surprised to see that the chips on Zining's table were gradually increasing, this was not how powerful Zining was, but Li Hongyu and Yang Li'er, who guided her, were very difficult, and they could always command Zining to "fight" with their opponents to the end.
This can't help but make the gamblers look at Li Hongyu and the three of them with admiration, but they didn't expect the young three people to have such powerful card skills, which made the gamblers on the table a little overwhelmed.
Zi Ning also gradually saw the way and understood the way to play, but she didn't dare to show the slightest look on her face, lest the other party judge the quality of the hole cards through her expression.
At this point, she is going to learn from Li Hongyu and Yang Li'er, and when the two of them play cards, they don't look shocked, and they can't see the quality of their hole cards at all.
In the final analysis, Yang Li'er is the first person to contact the Western flower cards of the Ming Dynasty, and experienced major changes in the family during the period, so the mood matured quickly, and she also knew from Li Hongyu that the most important thing when playing "everyone's fun" is to maintain a balance of mentality, so that the other party can not figure out your cards.
"Can this also be won? You must be out of the thousands! ”
Finally, when Zi Ning and a fat boy were in a stalemate to the end, and won the fat boy by a slight advantage, the fat boy could no longer hold back the anger in his heart, stood up suddenly, and pointed at Zi Ning, Li Hongyu, and Yang Li'er angrily and shouted.
In the fat boy's opinion, Li Hongyu and the three seemed to know the hole cards of everyone at the table, either scaring the other party away or winning by a slight margin, which made him extremely angry in his heart, and finally leaked out at this time.
"This son, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense, you must know that everyone will destroy their bones, but they will die." Li Hongyu smiled slightly when he heard this, and said quietly to the angry fat boy.
"Ben Gongzi is sure that they must be out of a thousand, otherwise how can they win cards in a row?" The fat boy sneered when he heard this, pointed at Li Hongyu and the three of them and said to the gamblers around him, "In my opinion, as long as they are sent to the yamen, they will definitely confess if they are punished!" ”
"Come on, arrest them for my son and send them to the county office!" As he spoke, the fat boy's eyes flashed fiercely, and he shouted at the few strong men standing behind him.
When the strong men heard this, they immediately rushed towards Li Hongyu and the three of them, looking like they were eyeing each other, and the gamblers on the scene suddenly roared and shook their heads secretly, thinking that Li Hongyu and the three of them would not escape this time.
