Chapter 43: Deception
Gu Yue didn't want to waste time and money in the gambling house, so she pulled Cheng Chumo's sleeve and walked outside, but the people in the gambling house didn't want them to go like this. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Three six, leopard all-takes, this son yours." The dealer looked at Cheng Chumo flatteringly, and then pushed the money on the table to him, "Thirty-two taels, look at it." β
Cheng Chu scratched his head silently, he didn't have three sixes at all, how could he win? But winning money is winning money, Cheng Chu silently put the money in front of him, "It should be when I bet, I accidentally fell over, and my luck is so strong to continue." β
Gu Yue felt funny when she saw the dealer's actions, and seeing that Cheng Chumo would not easily get off the table, she had to follow him. However, it was not so easy for this gambling house to make Cheng Chumo's money, so Gu Yue also bet.
Cheng Chumo had a tendon in his brain, only playing high odds, so he won more and lost more, and at the beginning the dealer asked him to eat some, Xiao Cheng was so happy that he couldn't find the north. Gu Yue, he pretended to be frightened, bet lightly, and looked cautious In the dealer's opinion, this is a novice, dare not act, it is better to deceive.
After a while, it was as if Xiao Cheng's luck had run out, he lost more and won less, and the gambling money of those who won plus thirty-two taels was soon empty. However, Gu Yue's luck is repeated, although the bet is small, there will always be an income, most of which are won from Xiao Cheng.
Cheng Chu was silently indignant, thinking about grabbing the silver taels from Gu Yue's hand to continue gambling, but when he saw Gu Yue's fierce gaze, he immediately wilted, "This dealer is out of the old man, you can't win, you listen..."
Gu Yue knew that the dealer deliberately let herself win, so that she could get into the trap, although she understood these truths, but when she won money, she was really excited. Gu Yue hurriedly suppressed her impulse and made another small bet, but the dealer didn't let him get his wish this time and lost this one directly. Gu Yue gradually became anxious, the bets were getting bigger and bigger, and the losses were getting bigger and bigger.
"Fight!" Gu Yue bet the last thirty-two on three ones. The dealer picked up the sieve cup and shook it, and at this time, Cheng Chumo suddenly rushed in from outside the door, and slapped a treasure box on the table with a "bang", "Lao Tzu bet on the last one!" Three sixes! β
"Uh, this son, who are you?" The dealer looked at Cheng Chumo with a smile on his face, "What kind of treasure are you?" β
"What a treasure, this is a ruby from the Western Regions!" Xiao Cheng opened the box very cooperatively, and there was a crystal clear ruby lying inside, dazzling.
"It's... The dealer couldn't figure out the value of the ruby, because he had never heard of it.
"Hmm... Just count one hundred taels for Lao Tzu. Cheng Chu meditated for a while and didn't know the value of this thing, so he casually reported a number.
The dealer listened to one hundred taels and immediately smiled, there must be more than one hundred taels of treasures like rubies, if you take this thing down, the shopkeeper will not give himself how much, the dealer's heart of the small abacus crackled.
But there are so many people at the table, and there are a lot of people who stay here all the time, and they all know that there is an unlucky guy here, and as long as they bet on the opposite of him, they can basically win. So this group of people, some bet big, some bet three sixes.
The odds of three ones are one to two, and the odds of three sixes are one to five, Gu Yue only bet on thirty taels and three ones, and the bet on the three sixes side must be two hundred taels. The dealer was not ambiguous, and directly opened a three-one for Gu Yue, allowing him to win sixty taels, and sixty plus thirty must also have ninety taels.
However, there are not a few people who bet on three sixes, and they suddenly stopped following it, shouting, and suddenly the voice of the dealer came out of the crowd, and suddenly the table turned against the sky, and it was beaten and smashed.
As for Gu Yue and Xiao Cheng, the two of them had already run out of the gambling house, and Gu Yue also touched dozens of taels of silver to come out. "Hey, Brother Gu, what you said is really right."
"Of course, this gambling house treats the two of us as chicks and bullies me, this is to teach him a lesson." Gu Yue didn't have any burden in her heart, anyway, the gambling house earned ill-gotten gains, and she could be regarded as eliminating harm for the people.
Gu Yue and Xiao Cheng gave the extra money in addition to the principal to the little beggar and some poor people, "The money is moving, but it is also a worry if there is more money, do you know why Cheng Guogong doesn't want my profit?" β
"Isn't it so that you can teach me kung fu?" Xiao Cheng touched his head and said in a daze.
"Hehe, money is a good thing, but sometimes it's also a nuisance. Do you think that the assets of the Cheng Mansion are consistent with the wealth and agricultural products of the Guogong Lord? β
"It doesn't match." Xiao Cheng nodded and said, "But, isn't it the other people..."
"Yes, that's right, but nobody's on the surface, is there? Do you know how much the winery earns in a month? 20,000! Gu Yue said, "The profit distributed to Cheng Fu is forty percent, that is, eight thousand guan." Do you think your family can earn a month? β
"Don't say eight thousand, even eight hundred is impossible."
"So it's a bad thing to say that there is more money, although no one wants to pierce this layer of window paper, but you can't make money wantonly. Since ancient times, officials have not spoken about business, and collusion between officials and businessmen is a big crime. β
"Uh..."Cheng Chumo's head can't hold these things at the moment, to put it bluntly, this kid is still a child, and Lao Cheng is also a lazy person, and he doesn't teach this son, just wait for his son to make a mistake and then smoke it, and teach things by the way, "Brother Gu, my father hasn't said these things." β
"You have to remember one thing, you are Cheng Yanjin's eldest son, and you will inherit your father's title in the future. Although the hereditary system can bless the descendants, if the descendants do not fight and indulge in the glory of the past, then it is not far from the middle of the family. Gu Yue patted Cheng Chumo's shoulder.
The Cheng family is a military attachΓ©, relying on the merits of killing on the battlefield, but not there is a war at any time, and a country will always need time to stabilize the country, so relying on the protection of the ancestors Yu Yin, this family cannot last long.
Although Cheng Chumo still can't understand it, now he also knows that he has been living a bad life all these years, even if he is in the military camp, he can be lazy, and doing so will only lose the face of the Cheng family, "Brother Gu, please teach me." β
"Oh? Why does Old Man Cheng want to gnaw me before he has learned the three-plate axe? Gu Yue also felt relieved to see Xiao Cheng's changes before and after, Lao Cheng really let himself teach martial arts when he threw his son to himself, and he didn't like his slick means, "Don't look down on your father, Cheng Guogong is a really wise person, although he doesn't know how to teach his son." β
