Chapter 343: Western Flower Cards
(Recommended reading: In the attic hall, several women dressed in revealing clothes similar to **** were dancing there to seduce people with the sound of music, and when they saw Li Hongyu coming in, they hugged and tried their best to seduce.
Seeing this situation, the face of the maid in red became a little nervous, Li Hongyu is too young, at a glance he looks like a boy who has not experienced the tempering of the party, if she can't control it for a while, she will be seduced away by these shameless little waves.
The maid in red couldn't stop the dancers from seducing Li Hongyu, after all, it was the dancer's job, and her duty was to guide the guests to have fun in the casino.
However, Li Hongyu was not interested in these dancing girls, and asked the entourage to reward them with some chips and went up to the second floor, which made the red-clothed maid breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that Li Hongyu is not the kind of lustful prodigal son.
On the second floor, there are five VIP rooms, each with a table of four players, who are gathering there to play cards, surrounded by many spectators, who are enjoying the play of Western cards.
After Li Hongyu wandered around several VIP halls, he finally found the young man dressed as a man in a VIP hall, sitting at the table in front of the window of the VIP hall talking to a handsome and burly man in blue, who seemed to be comforting her, and reached out and patted her on the back affectionately from time to time.
There are tables and chairs in the VIP room for gamblers to rest and talk about business, and the ancient high-end casinos were both places for gambling and places for recreation and business.
"Who are those two people?" Li Hongyu chose an inconspicuous corner table and sat down, glanced at the young man in a white shirt dressed as a man and the boy in blue, and asked the red-clothed maid standing beside him quietly.
"Back to Gongzi, the slave family is seeing them for the first time, and I don't know which family they are." The red-clothed maid shook her head after glancing at the white-shirted boy and the blue-clothed boy.
"Find out what they do." Li Hongyu grabbed a handful of chips and put them into the hands of the red-clothed maid, and said softly.
"Childe wait a while, and the slave family will come when they go.
Seeing this, the girl in red's eyes lit up, picked up those chips and left.
"Who are you?" Li Hongyu secretly looked at the white-shirted boy and the blue-shirted boy, from the temperament point of view, both of them seemed to be from rich backgrounds, but they didn't know if it was the person he was looking for.
"Childe, find out, the man in blue is a member of the Salt Merchants Association, known as the third son, the boy in white doesn't know where he came from, he only knows that his surname is Zhao, and he is called Zhao Gongzi."
After a while, the maid in red came back and told Li Hongyu the news she had found, and as long as she spent a few chips, someone would naturally tell her the relevant information.
"The Salt Merchants' Association?" Li Hongyu's eyes suddenly showed a look of surprise, he didn't expect that the boy in blue turned out to be a member of the Salt Merchants Association, and he was the son of a big man in the Salt Merchants Association.
As he spoke, there was a burst of regret at the table, and then applause and applause broke out, and it turned out that the gamble of the four gamblers had already had a result, and the three gamblers had lost to a thin and tall middle-aged man, and had to leave with a curse.
Seeing this, the third son led the white-shirted boy surnamed Zhao to the gambling table, looking like he wanted to have a hand.
Li Hongyu groaned for a while, then stood up and walked to the gambling table, ready to join in the fun, so that he could find out the details of the woman dressed as a man Zhao Gongzi.
The third prince and Zhao Gongzi sat down at the gaming table smoothly, but Li Hongyu was one step slower, and a middle-aged man with a big belly sat at the gaming table one step ahead of him.
Li Hongyu frowned when he saw this, and then leaned over and whispered a few words in the middle-aged man's ear, and the middle-aged man glanced at Li Hongyu in surprise when he heard this, then looked at the third prince and the Zhao son, got up and gave up his seat.
This made everyone at the scene couldn't help but look at him, and they were very surprised by this, they didn't know what Li Hongyu said to make the middle-aged man obediently give up his seat.
Li Hongyu ignored the curious looks of everyone at the scene, sat there by himself, smiled and greeted the three people at the gaming table, and then signaled to the dealer on the card table to deal cards.
The red-clothed maid stood aside nervously, listening to the meaning of Li Hongyu's previous words, she had never played Western flower cards before, maybe she didn't even know the rules, so it was easy to lose money, and if Li Hongyu lost money, then she naturally wouldn't get a reward.
The face cards on the table have been removed from the king, so that each gambler is dealt thirteen cards and then the cards are played.
As the maid in red thought, Li Hongyu didn't know the rules of the game, so she patiently explained to Li Hongyu, and Li Hongyu quickly understood that the gameplay was similar to the "fighting landlord" in later generations.
After a few handfuls, Li Hongyu clearly realized that the third prince was playing cards for Zhao Gongzi, and the so-called playing cards was to help Zhao Gongzi when playing cards, which made Zhao Gongzi's chances of winning nearly doubled.
Not only Li Hongyu, including the tall and thin middle-aged man at the poker table, everyone on the scene realized that the third prince and Zhao Gongzi played cards together, and the third prince and Zhao Gongzi were both masters of playing cards, which made Li Hongyu and the thin middle-aged man become more passive.
The most feared thing at the poker table is this kind of two-on-one scene, because Li Hongyu and the tall thin middle-aged man don't know each other, so the two can't join forces.
After all, if you want to join forces, you also need to negotiate, and divide all aspects of matters and interests, but the two have no chance to discuss at all.
Seeing this situation, the onlookers couldn't help but whisper in private, thinking that the third prince and Zhao Gongzi's approach was quite inappropriate, at least it would be fair after Li Hongyu and the thin and tall middle-aged man formed an alliance.
But then again, there is no rule that says that players on the field cannot form alliances, and if players are not satisfied, they can leave and not play.
Generally speaking, if you are familiar with each other, it is easy to form a two-on-two confrontation situation at the table, which is why it is more attractive.
"Ladies and gentlemen, if you have something to do, let's go first."
The thin and tall middle-aged man realized that something was wrong, and he and Li Hongyu were fighting alone, so when he lost to Zhao Gongzi again, he got up and arched his hand to Li Hongyu and the three of them at the gambling table to leave.
"This brother stays."
Seeing this, Li Hongyu opened his mouth and shouted to the thin and tall middle-aged man, and said to him with a smile, "There is a new way to play next, I wonder if Brother Ren is interested?" ”
"What does this brother have to say?" The tall and thin middle-aged man was slightly stunned, and then asked with some surprise, which also attracted the attention of everyone at the scene, and they all looked at him.
"This game can allow many people to participate at the same time, and they don't have to be spectators."
Li Hongyu smiled when he heard this, looked around at the people around him and said, "This game is very simple, in the next sentence you will understand, first give the player two cards to the face, and then put five cards on the table, whose face of the cards can be combined with the cards is the largest, who wins the final game." ”
"What do you think, brother?" As he spoke, Li Hongyu smiled and asked the tall and thin middle-aged man, and the way he said was naturally ********.
"That's a good idea!" The thin and tall middle-aged man's eyes lit up for a moment, and he couldn't help but nod, so that he could ensure fairness at the gambling table, and he didn't have to worry about this kind of alliance.
There was a commotion at the scene, because it was the first time for people to come into contact with this kind of gameplay, so they were talking to each other, and I have to say that Li Hongyu's proposal was very tempting.
The third prince and Zhao Gongzi leaned over there and whispered when they heard this, it seemed that they were also discussing the new way of playing that Li Hongyu said, the third prince seemed to be a little tempted and Zhao Gongzi looked worried.
"Let's do it first, and everyone will know how to play." Li Hongyu knew that people were interested in his proposal, so he said with a smile.
The thin and tall middle-aged man sat back after groaning for a while when he heard this, he wanted to see the new way of playing that Li Hongyu said, the feelings were not only novel but also exciting.
The third prince and Zhao Gongzi then bowed their heads slightly to agree, so Li Hongyu asked the dealer to reshuffle the cards, and then explained the ******** play to everyone step by step, which had quite exciting calls and raises, which made the faces of the people on the scene appear excited, and they kept nodding.
In the end, when Li Hongyu and the tall and thin middle-aged man, the third son, and Zhao Gongzi opened the two hole cards in front of them, whose card was the biggest was revealed.
In fact, this game is a contest of intelligence and psychology, after all, no one knows the opponent's hole cards, in this case, the next round of raisings is a huge test of people's psychological defense, some people will give up the game because they can't bear the pressure.
In addition, when opening the hole cards is undoubtedly the most exciting, this time is usually not the competition but the momentum, if the momentum to scare the opponent away, it is a soldier who surrenders without a fight.
"This brother, what do you call this game?" The thin and tall middle-aged man looked at the name cards on the table and everyone's hole cards, and asked Li Hongyu with a smile, obviously this way is undoubtedly the fairest, don't be afraid that someone will secretly unite.
"Give it the name 'Everybody Happy' under it, and let more people participate as long as the number of cards allows." Li Hongyu smiled when he heard this, and said methodically, of course he can't say that this is "********", Texas is still a deserted land with no people.
"It's better to be happy alone than to be happy in all, this name is good!" The thin and tall middle-aged man nodded when he heard this, and said to Li Hongyu with a smile.
"Three brothers, why don't we try our luck?" Li Hongyu smiled slightly, and said to the thin and tall middle-aged man, the third son, and Zhao Gongzi.
The third prince nodded quietly when he heard this, since Li Hongyu had already come to the door, then he naturally had to fight, otherwise wouldn't it become a joke for others if it was spread out, for him, money was just something outside his body, how much he wanted.
"Deal!"
A smile appeared on the corner of Li Hongyu's mouth, and he said to the dealer in a deep voice, although the ********'s gameplay is simple, but in actual combat, it is necessary to fight wits and courage, and the third prince and others are obviously not his opponents for the first time now******** they are not his opponents.
Things were as Li Hongyu expected, the third prince, Zhao Gongzi and the thin and tall middle-aged man were not his opponents at all in the card game.
The three do not know how to stop in moderation like Li Hongyu, and if they feel that the hand is not good, they will usually hold on to the end, which makes the three lose more and win less.
Especially the third prince and Zhao Gongzi, in the last hole card at all regardless of the size of the card to follow the end, which made Li Hongyu harvest a lot, but also made the atmosphere of the scene gradually become hot, many gamblers from other gambling halls came to watch the excitement with great interest.
As the game progressed, the face of the third prince gradually became solemn, and he realized that this game was not as simple as he had imagined, and it involved fierce intrigue between players, Li Hongyu undoubtedly knew this, so he knew how to advance and retreat at the right time.
It's a pity that the third prince didn't have time to compete with Li Hongyu, a man who looked like a man whispered a few words beside him, which made his face change, and after whispering to Zhao Gongzi, he got up and left with someone, Zhao Gongzi originally wanted to send him but was refused.
Before leaving, the third prince deliberately glanced at Li Hongyu, who didn't seem very willing, and secretly asked people to find out Li Hongyu's details, and sooner or later he would defeat Li Hongyu at the card table.
As soon as the third prince walked like this, that Zhao Gongzi seemed to be interested in the game, and got up and left after playing two games.
"Brother, what do you call it?" Seeing this, Li Hongyu naturally wanted to follow him to check, and he didn't take a few steps when he stood up and the tall thin middle-aged man shouted at him.
"In Xia Li Sheng, Huguang people's clan, there will be a period later." Li Hongyu smiled when he heard this, reported his name loudly, and then left the gambling hall quickly.
"Li Sheng!" The thin and tall middle-aged man bowed slightly, and kept this name in his heart, the so-called gambling depends on the character, he thinks that Li Hongyu is a friend worth dating, and he may deal with him in the mall in the future.
