Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan borrowed ten taels of silver from Li Qinghan and made a bet with Zhou Chao

++++++++++++++++++++++ place to gamble money, in the Ming Dynasty was called "gambling house".

If you want to talk about the development of the gambling house, it can be traced back to a long, long time ago, when Ma Xiaoquan traveled to the end of the Han Dynasty, he often saw many people going to the gambling house to play.

However, the Ming Dynasty was a very special dynasty, firstly, it was necessary to pay a poll tax, and secondly, it was not allowed to open gambling houses on the surface.

It's just that there are policies and countermeasures, and your government doesn't let it open on the surface, so let's operate it in the dark

Ma Xiaoquan and the others spent a long time and chose a place to gamble in a place called "Penglai Pavilion".

Penglai Pavilion is located in the northwest corner of Beijing, because the city gate in the northwest corner is not often opened, so there are relatively few people who go there, so, over time, by some of the generals to do the village, secretly in the northwest corner of the "Penglai Pavilion", on the bright side of this Penglai Pavilion is for those officers and soldiers to drink and fart, in fact, this Penglai Pavilion is a quite famous underground gambling house in Beijing.

Emperor Taichang, that is, after Zhu Changluo succeeded to the throne, also mentioned that he wanted to complete the underground gambling house in the capital, but under the pressure of the three parties of Donglin, Zhejiang, and Chu, he could only give up temporarily.

Penglai Pavilion is not accessible to ordinary people, it is like a gambling ship in modern society, you must have a certain amount of funds on hand to be eligible to enter.

Of course, Ma Xiaoquan and others are exceptions, as the stubborn lord of this Beijing city, even if he has no money, he can go in.

Ma Xiaoquan didn't know if the fourth young master of the Ma family had ever come to Penglai Pavilion before, what he knew now was that as soon as the fourth young master of his pretended to be entered Penglai Pavilion, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Yo? Isn't this the whole child? ”

Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, turned his head and saw a tall and thin young man standing behind him.

This young man's appearance can be said to be not picky, if he is placed in modern society, how can he be a standard handsome guy, coupled with his long legs, and the perfect golden ratio of 0.618, Ma Xiaoquan even thinks at this moment that if this young man is put back in modern society, put it in the country of sticks, and learn a few words of "Smecta", it will definitely be stronger than "long-legged Oba" and "Professor Du".

Ma Xiaoquan frowned, he didn't know the person in front of him.

Ma Xiaoquan glanced at a few partners around him, and found that the faces of these partners were not very good-looking, and he couldn't help but be alert.

"Eh~ Fatty, who is that man?"

Zhou Chao glanced at Ma Xiaoquan, and said in his heart, "You kid won't be amused by Miss Zhang's divorce in the first place, right?

"Fuck, that's Lu Tian, don't fucking say you forgot~"

"Lu Tian?" Ma Xiaoquan snorted and muttered in his heart: Surname Lu? Could it be that he is a descendant of Lu Xian? No, Lu Xian has already been killed by me

After Ma Xiaoquan was full-body, the tall, thin and handsome young man saw that Ma Xiaoquan did not answer him, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "Ma Xiaoquan, you won't still be worried about Miss Zhang's divorce, right?" ”

As soon as the words came out, Zhao Qiao, who was beside Ma Xiaoquan, couldn't help it: "Lu Tian, what crazy are you crazy~"

Lu Tian looked indifferent: "Zhao Qiao, you're just a gentleman, if it weren't for your father, what kind of thing would you be?" What right do you have to talk to me? ”

"Lu Tian, you~~"

Lu Tianleng snorted and said to Ma Xiaoquan: "Ma Xiaoquan, Penglai Pavilion, you haven't been here for a long time, what's the matter, you want to win Miss Zhang back?" Let's tell you the truth, that Miss Zhang, I didn't fancy you at all, you stupid, you fucking cry for others, look at it, what about your hair, you don't want to escape into the empty door, right? ”

Listening to Lu Tian's shouting, Ma Xiaoquan was not very angry, but the partners around him couldn't help it.

Zhou Chao roared: "Lu Tian, you girl is a ball, aren't your family Fang Shoufu's relatives~"

Fang Shoufu refers to Fang Congzhe, Ma Xiaoquan immediately understood when he heard Fang Shoufu.

"Okay, okay, don't say it anymore, let's go play ours~"

Lu Tian couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Ma Xiaoquan come out to play the round, in his impression, this fourth young master of the Ma family can be described as "stupid and angry", as long as he is slightly stimulated, his blood will definitely surge, but this meeting, the fourth young master of the Ma family seems to have changed a little.

"Wait!" Lu Tian stretched out his hand to block everyone's way.

"Lu Tian, what do you mean?"

Lu Tian smiled and said, "I opened a game over there, ten taels a handful, and if you are interested, you can join in the fun." ”

"I'm not interested~"

Lu Tian was not in a hurry: "Huh? Listen to me? If any of you can win a hundred taels from me, I can consider tearing up the original bet with Ma Xiaoquan. ”

"What?" When everyone heard this, they all looked at Lu Tian in surprise.

Ma Xiaoquan is different from everyone else, Lu Tian said for a long time, what Miss Zhang, what kind of betting, he didn't know anything. What Ma Xiaoquan is thinking about now is how to win a hundred taels of silver, so that Zhou Chao can admit defeat.

"Quanzi Quanzi" Zhou Chao stabbed Ma Xiaoquan's arm and whispered: "You bet with him and win that breath back for us." ”

"Huh?" Ma Xiaoquan was very puzzled, "Why, I don't know Ya'er." ”

"You don't pretend, you even have a fucking daughter-in-law, how can you not know it."

Ma Xiaoquan couldn't cry or laugh, if he didn't lose his daughter-in-law, it was the fourth young master who had died, and his brother was not him.

"I don't care, if you don't bet with Lu Tian today, Lao Tzu won't settle the account for you~ It's a big deal that Lao Tzu will directly give you all the money in his hand and admit defeat!"

Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, Zhou Chao has been smiling all the time, how can he talk about Lu Tian with such a stern expression.

"Biaozi, come here~" Ma Xiaoquan pulled Zhou Chao's younger brother Zhou Biao to his side and asked quietly, "What's wrong with your brother?" Why is there such a big reaction? ”

Zhou Biao sighed, shook his head and said: "This matter is a long story, Quanzi, no matter what, you have to gamble with Lu Tian, well, I will give you all my money, oh, my money is in my brother's hands."

When the other gentlemen heard Zhou Biao's words, they looked at each other, and instantly reached a tacit understanding, and they all took out their own money and stuffed it into Ma Xiaoquan's hands.
