Chapter 284: Temptation
What does silver money mean?
Regardless of whether it is Northern Yan or Southern Wu, the main circulation is all copper coins, as for gold and silver, because the output is very low, it is not used as a circulation currency, but the rich people, the official eunuchs, and even the imperial court, but they have to use gold and silver. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
However, only the imperial court and the government can use gold and silver to cast the style of money, and those that circulate outside every year, that is, those who reward officials, when the children of the noble students play games, love to use this thing as a bet, which is the same in both the north and the south. Because that's the best way to show off your holy affection. Therefore, Wu Gou's face darkened when he heard Yue Qianqiu's words.
He is a little general, where can he get money to gamble? Isn't that embarrassing?
And as if he was afraid that the other party would not believe his words, Yue Qianqiu smiled and took out a sheepskin bag, and after untying it, he deliberately brought it to Wu Hook, so that he could see the silver money in it clearly, and he actually took out another one and handed it over, his face was full of lightheartedness.
"You see, I've won a lot. If General Wu or your people want to gamble, as long as they can come up with a bet of about the same value, not silver money. ”
Speaking of this, Yue Qianqiu took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and added with a smile: "By the way, mahjong will probably become popular in Jinling this year, and I think you haven't played it before." The rules are written on it, and General Wu is also invited to bring it to those who are interested in it to study it. ”
Yan Xu saw that Wu Hook was pinching the silver coin, and his face changed, so he waved his hand very arrogantly and said: "If you want to come to make money for a penny, no one will think that our master and apprentice are bribing you General Wu, so you can take it and show it to others!" As long as you can get a bet, who is not a bet? Qianqiu, go call someone, let's continue playing! ”
Seeing that Wu Hook took the silver money and turned around and left without a sound, Yan Xu couldn't help but be overjoyed, and after being pushed into the car by Yue Qianqiu, he couldn't help but pound the seat under him, and tried his best to restrain it for a while before he laughed out loud. He gave a thumbs up to Yue Qianqiu and praised: "Good boy, you really have you!" If you can really deceive people to gamble, all the money you get back will be yours! ”
"Then I will thank Master! The Northern Yan Autumn Hunting Division is just like our Wu Desi, and he is the most suspicious and suspicious. If you've seen something like mahjong before, forget it, if you haven't seen it, see all kinds of patterns, plus we ignore the black face of the uncle all the way, and play so hard, it's strange that they don't come to test and ask! ”
Yue Qianqiu said on the one hand, and on the other hand, he and Yan Xu high-fived each other, but they were full of ambition.
"Gotta win them even the pants!"
Yan Xu had no doubts about Yue Qianqiu's bold words. Since Yue Qianqiu's birthday banquet, games such as checkers and flying chess Monopoly have been promoted to Jinling and even the southeast through the Qin family firm, but this mahjong is ...... After making a few pairs, he and Yue Qianqiu pulled the eldest princess of Dongyang and the old lady Yue to fight twice, but they were sprayed.
Old lady Yue's words are that there are not enough private gambling houses?
Mother's words are, playthings are demoralized!
So, Yue Qianqiu, who has never been afraid of heaven and earth, hid things and didn't let them out, that is, he pulled Liu Fangyuan and Dai Zhanning to rub them a few times in private during the New Year's holidays. Although it is two against two, with the tacit understanding of their master and apprentice, even if Dai Zhanning is good at calculation, most of the time he still loses a lot, not to mention these Beiyan people now.
Of course, if you meet a good opponent who is proficient in gambling, they have one last resort!
Although the bet proposed by Yue Qianqiu made He Wanxing, the official of the Autumn Hunting Division, a little tricky, but even if Wu Hook came back with that piece of paper, several spies of the Autumn Hunting Division still did not dare to rashly regard the bamboo mahjong as a game tool in line with the principle of preferring to believe it or not.
However, although the only spy was good at deciphering code words in the past, even if he combined the rules, he still didn't dare to determine whether the bamboo mahjong pattern had code words, and whether he would use the game as a communication tool when he brought it to Shangjing.
When He Wanxing only felt that the dead man was getting better, in the afternoon, he asked Wu Hook to take one of the carriages with the highest winning rate. Although Wu Hook was stopped by Master Yue on the road, he kept saying that it was Yan Xu's order, and he saw that although the other party's face was extremely ugly, he still let him go with a long sigh.
"Lord Yan, Yue Jiu Gongzi, this is Cen Qing, who is a little familiar with play, so let him accompany you to pass the time."
Wu Gou's words were very decent, very different from the impatience when he came to question yesterday evening. And Yue Qianqiu smiled even more: "General Wu is really a trustworthy person, and he really found us a card partner!" Come on, there's nothing else to talk about here, just a game and a lot of fun. ”
When the carefully selected Akika Division spy Cen San sat in Yan Xu's carriage, he saw Yan Xu sitting on stilts, Yue Qianqiu was crooked, and the little monkey was eating with bulging cheeks.
Yue Qianqiu clapped his hands lightly, and said with a smile: "Before playing, I had a word first, and the car was bumpy, so compared to the usual game, there is a rule that is not usually universal, if anyone makes the cards in front of him overturn, so let others see it, then whoever loses!" ”
Cen Qing's face was blue when he won three companions before, where would he be afraid of this new rule added by Yue Qianqiu at this time? He didn't think about it, so he said calmly: "Okay, then please ask Lord Yan and Yue Jiu Gongzi for advice!" ”
At the beginning of a game, Yue Qianqiu casually touched the dominoes, and saw that Yan Xu was more absent-minded than himself, but the little monkey's eyes lit up, and he also glanced at the opponent from time to time, and the opponent who had just joined was also listening to the six roads, looking at all directions, and was clearly worried that the three of them would unite a thousand, and he couldn't help but upturn the corners of his mouth, thinking that he wanted to deal with you a little beginner, and use a thousand?
In the next three games in a row, Cen San was lucky to win one time, and then the two times he won the cards came once six and sixteen, seeing that there were piles of bets like a hill in front of him, thinking that He Wanxing promised to win before he was his own, the corners of his mouth were even higher. Especially when he found out that Yue Qianqiu and Yan Xu didn't blink their eyes even if they lost, he couldn't help but slander in his heart.
In the end, it is a noble background, and he doesn't take winning or losing at all!
If it goes on like this, even if there is no leader who tells him to understand the mystery of the cards, he might as well accompany these rich guys to play more, and if he doesn't win, he won't win!
However, the ambitious Cen San soon suffered the harshest blow. When he came He Wanxing gave him a total of twenty silver money as the capital, he won more in the first three decks of cards in one breath, but the next three decks of cards, Yan Xu won a small three yuan when he played sixty-four times, Yue Qianqiu came to a pair of big three yuan, he actually won before and all the bets he brought with him were all lost in one go, and he owed a sum!
When the final ten laps were over and he found that the capital was emptied, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva with an earthy face, and his head was blank.
Just now, it was clear that he had won the gradual improvement situation, how could he pour it all back in one breath, and still owe so much?
"You don't have enough money? Then keep the book. Yue Qianqiu smiled very considerately, looked around, snatched a bag of jerky from the little monkey's mouth and handed it over, and said enthusiastically, "Thank you for accompanying my master to play such a game, I don't dare to give you anything else, you can take this jerky to eat, I think you can't break every piece of jerky and see if you are taking a bribe." Gambling money, there are losses and wins, victory is not arrogant and defeated, I am waiting for you to come next time! ”
When He Wanxing heard Cen San come over with a sad face, saying that he had lost all of his money and kept a large account, and handed over the dried meat given by Yue Qianqiu, and relayed his original words as they were, he was suddenly angry. Not only is he like this, but Wu Gou also hates itchy. The two glanced at each other, and Wu Gou said a little worriedly: "Could it be that I am too suspicious?" ”
"Although Yan Xu has a reputation for doing his own thing in Jinling, he is not a pure gentleman, he is obviously good at riding horses, but he plays mahjong in the carriage every day, and pulls the people in the mission over again and again, he must use this to inform the contact, with ulterior motives! Now, if he doesn't find out if that thing has a code word, after he arrives in Beijing, he will use this thing to make a name for himself, and it will be too late to pursue it! ”
Seeing that Wu Gou nodded hurriedly, He Wanxing said with a calm face: "Lord Lou reminded me before leaving, don't look at that Yue Qianqiu's young age, he also made Qiu Kaji suffer a big loss before, if he is a naughty boy, it will be a big mistake!" Now their master and apprentice from rich backgrounds are in the same gear to lure us in, but they don't succeed for a few dollars! ”
He Wanxing was able to be an official in the talented Autumn Hunting Division, and his mind was naturally extremely tenacious, and he would never waver as long as he recognized the right things. At this moment, he saw that Wu Gou had clearly been moved by what he said, so he took a deep breath and said, "Isn't it just gambling?" My Dayan is rich and rich, and I can't make a mere bet? Can't find anyone who can gamble better than their master and apprentice? Keep sending others, aren't there three more? ”
If you can't win today, after staying at the post station, he will make the city full of the most powerful gamblers, I don't believe that I can't win this master and apprentice, and I can't set the details of this little game!
