Chen Ping nodded and responded.

Moved out of the table, put it in front of the door of the house, cleared the snow at his feet, and Chen Ping and Hong Quan stood opposite each other across the table.

"Bring that firewood here, it's cold, and your hands are hot." Seeing that there were one or two more entries, Hong Quan commanded, rubbed his hands, and glanced at Chen Ping's outfit.

Cotton clothes and silk cloth, clean face, calm manners, the family should be quite an asset. His gaze swept to Chen Ping's waist, where there was a brocade bag, bulging, and a little protruding to support the brocade bag.

"No less than ten taels of silver." The red rope hanging on the belt was stretched, Hong Quan was sure, and his heart was suddenly eager.

"Or Bose?" Retracting his gaze, Hong Quan asked politely, and took out a six-sided jade the size of a thumb from his arms.

Similar to the dice of later generations, Chen Ping knew that this thing was called Qiong, and he also looked at the words engraved on it, such as five, white, black, and stopper.

There should be twelve chess pieces in the regular game, two people play each other, six pieces each. One of them is called a owl, and five are scattered, and the owl is precious. The bureau is divided into 12 ways, and the two ends are called water, and two fish are released. Bosera first used Qiong to throw color, color to five, white two color is expensive.

When throwing the color, you have to applaud, the so-called "into the owl and Mou, call five white", that is, call the five white.

Hong Quan took a Joan, and there were no chess pieces, which was obviously not a normal way to play.

"As before, throw the lottery. Whoever rolls these five and white wins. Hong Quan asked, "How?" ”

It's a simple way to play, as long as anyone has a hand, they can play. Joan has six sides, and it is all up to luck to which side this one is thrown out and turned over.

It seems to be so, but in fact, this thing tests people's hand strength and eyesight, pay attention to a light plucking skill, as long as the strength and angle are mastered, not to mention the color required by the handle, eight or nine times out of ten is not a problem.

"It's up to you, how do I know if you've done something to this Joan." Chen Ping shook his head and put the porcelain bowl and stone on the table, "Let's change the way we play today." ”

Hong Quan looked at the porcelain bowl and the three stones, and asked, "How do you say to play?" ”

"Guess the stone." Chen Ping simply explained the rules.

This is a new way to play, which is more complex than a single lottery roll, and it also requires an eye for attention.

"You're afraid of me doing something, how do I know if you're doing anything on this porcelain bowl and stone?" Hong Quan didn't agree immediately, but asked rhetorically.

Chen Ping took the porcelain bowl, tapped his fingers lightly on it twice, and handed it to Hong Quan: "Ordinary porcelain bowl, this stone was picked up in that courtyard." ”

Hong Quan touched the porcelain bowl and carefully inspected it, there were no cracks, and the stone was also an ordinary stone.

"Okay, just follow yours, but this stone still needs to be changed." As soon as he raised his hand, he threw all the stones out, Hong Quan brushed aside the snow, picked up three stones by himself, and gave them to Chen Ping, "Come on." ”

Shaking the porcelain bowl, Chen Ping held the stone in one hand, opened a gap, and moved his index and middle fingers, revealing a stone and covering it.

"Alright, let's place a bet." Chen Ping raised his head and said, there were already a tael of silver coins on the table.

"Hey, I want this." Hong Quan took out a tael of silver and slapped it on the table, but his hand pressed to the porcelain bowl on the left, "Get out of the way, I'll take it myself." ”

"A tael of silver, it's going to be gone. This kid must have lost, and I've seen him put a pebble in here. Hong Quan was behind him, he only hated the silver money on his body, otherwise he would have to gamble with Chen Ping for a game.

Win too easily.

"Brother Qing, I think you should call your nephew back, it's better to let me have a game with Hong Quanbo." It was Liu Yuqing's side, and Zhou Yu also said, "That's a tael of silver, it's a pity." ”

"It's on."

Hong Quanmeng opened the porcelain bowl, smiled and was about to take the silver on the table with one hand, but before his hand touched the silver coin, the two taels of silver were taken by another person.

"Two stones, you lose." Chen Ping saw Hong Quan coming angrily, his eyes glanced under the porcelain bowl, and took the money.

Take one or two, and there is still one or two on the table.

"How is that possible? I just saw that you only put a stone. Only then did Hong Quan notice that there were really two stones under the porcelain bowl, one of which was slightly larger, and the other was slightly smaller behind the big one, blocking the line of sight. ”

Chen Ping put one stone in his hand on the table, and the three stones were laid out.

"Well, it's your choice." Let Hong Quan look carefully, Chen Ping slowly pinched up the three stones, shook the porcelain bowl, and showed two fingers, and then threw the stones into the porcelain bowl on the left side.

After this step, Chen Ping did not stop, and lifted another porcelain bowl. It seemed to be lifted faster, Chen Ping's hand was small, and the two stones in his palm were exposed, one of which was still on the table.

"Sorry, wait." Smiling apologetically, Chen Ping hurriedly picked up the stone and stuffed it into the porcelain bowl on the right side.

"Wait, you spread your palms." Hong Quan suddenly grabbed Chen Ping's hand and didn't let him put it on the porcelain bowl.

"What do you want to do?" Liu Yuqing said.

"The stone has entered two porcelain bowls, are you afraid to show me what is in your hand?" Hong Quan didn't let go, "Don't touch the porcelain bowl." ”

Chen Ping turned his head to signal Liu Yuqing not to be nervous, then spread out his hands, showed Hong Quan, and stepped back, not touching the porcelain bowl on the table.

"Boy, I'm going to guess two this time." Hong Quan took out a piece of silver with a proud hand, "This silver piece has five taels, and a porcelain bowl is one tael." ”

"It's too much, I don't have the money." Chen Ping hesitated.

"Fang just won me a tael, plus this tael on the table, isn't there a tael?" Hong Quan looked at Chen Ping, "What?" If you win, you won't come? How can there be such a reason, hurry up and bet, you and I still have money in our bags today, don't think about leaving this table. ”

Chen Ping pursed his lips, his eyes swept over Hong's body, and immediately glanced away, not daring to look directly, hesitating, and finally took out one or two pieces of silver that he had just won from Hong Quan's hand and put it on the table.

"I just fell off the stone, can you ......" After putting the silver, Chen Ping did not leave his hand, and it was empty on the table.

"That's because you have small hands, no wonder others, everyone is watching, I didn't let your pebbles fall." Without waiting for Chen Ping to finish speaking, Hong Quan pressed the porcelain bowl on the left side, "Here's one, it shouldn't be wrong this time." There are also two in the porcelain bowl on the right. ”

The porcelain bowl was opened, and this time Hong Quan's eyes widened.

On the table below, there was not a single stone, and after cursing, Hong Quan immediately opened the porcelain bowl on the right side again, and the three stones lay quietly below.

"I'm sorry, I won again." Chen Ping put away two taels of broken silver, and touched five taels of silver, "Here are two taels of silver." ”

"Again." Hong Quan roared and pressed a whole bag of silver on the table.

The fire at the table was a little strong, and the crowd was around, although it was snowing, but the steaming heat got up, and a layer of sweat appeared on Hong Quan's head, and he untied his robe.

continued to bet, the third, Chen Ping failed to win, lost a tael of silver, and the five taels of silver continued to press.

Fourth, Hong Quan bet on two taels again, but this time he lost again.

……

Again and again, the porcelain bowl kept snapping open, and the broken silver bag that Hong Quan had placed on the table gradually dried up. In front of Chen Ping's desk, a pile of silver bulged up, the small one was half a tael, and the big one was five taels.

"Once, all down, I still have nearly twenty taels of silver." With red eyes, the porcelain bowl opened, and he lost two taels of silver again, Hong Quan looked at the pile of broken silver in front of Chen Ping's table, grabbed the small cloth bag in front of him, which was more than half light, and pushed it to the middle of the table.
