Chapter 15: Gambling

PS: Subscription supports genuine glorious

Because Ruan Yiyong was soft-hearted for a while and did not expose Bai Ling'er, his brother Ruan Yiqiang was very angry and decided to punish him, but because he was too busy, he didn't say what to do for a while. + The relationship between the two brothers is a little awkward.

At this moment, Sheng Xuanhuai's fourth son, Sheng Enyi, came to Ruan Yiyong to gamble again to avenge his recent loss to Ruan Yiyong's more than 100 houses.

Sheng Enyi is Sheng Xuanhuai's favorite son. Sheng Xuanhuai successively married a three-room main room. The earliest Dong family gave birth to three sons and three daughters for him, but the sons did not live long, the eldest Sheng Changyi and the third Sheng Tongyi both died early, and the second and Yi passed on to Sheng Xuanhuai's second brother Sheng Junhuai, and finally died. The step-wife gave birth to only one daughter, and then "hung herself on the southeast branch". The third Mrs. Zhuang gave birth to two sons and a daughter, one of whom died young, and the rest was Sheng Enyi, known as Sheng Laosi.

Due to the unfortunate early death of the previous three elder brothers, Sheng Enyi became the lifeblood of the Sheng Mansion. Sheng Xuanhuai also has a heart to cultivate, and has been sent to the University of London in the United Kingdom and Columbia University in the United States to study since he was a child.

But after returning to China, the eighteen-year-old Sheng Enyi was still very willful, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling everything, especially like to spend a lot of money and gamble, which is well-known in Beijing. Sheng Enyi's life is generally to sleep during the day and get up at four or five o'clock in the afternoon. What should I do if I need money to gamble after waking up, and my family's cash is not enough? Go to the bank, the bank on the street is closed, just take an antique to the pawnshop and pawn it, exchange the money, and the bank will open at dawn the next day, and then send someone to withdraw the money. Go to the pawnshop and redeem the antiques.

In order to let his son get rid of his bad habits as soon as possible, Prime Minister Sheng Xuanhuai ordered him a marriage at the age of eighteen, and his wife was Sun Baoqi's eldest daughter Sun Yonghui.

Sun Yonghui is a famous lady. When he was a child, he lived in England and France with his father, and learned fluent English and French, Ruan Yiyong has always liked her and had a relationship with her, but unfortunately, in the end, under the pressure of his family, Sun Yonghui married Sheng Enyi. But. Sheng Enyi did not restrain himself because he was married, he still likes to gamble, especially Ruan Yiyong. Both of them are the masters of spending a lot of money.

On that day, Sheng Enyi drove the first Mercedes-Benz car imported from Beijing to the agreed place. Sheng Enyi's Mercedes is different, he replaced the body with a silver one. His name was engraved on it. His car license plate is also very "meaningful". Because he is the fourth in the family, his car license plate is S4444, and as soon as others see his car, they know that it is the fourth child of the Sheng family.

That day, Ruan Yiyong and Sheng Enyi's gambling was in a restaurant in North Taipingzhuang, and it was already the third watch in the middle of the night. A square table was set up in the living room on the second floor, and it was crowded with people watching the excitement inside and out, most of whom were the children of high-ranking officials or wealthy businessmen.

Sheng Enyi and Ruan Yiyong exchanged a few words. Started gambling, a total of four people. Poker cards are dealt to match the size, one hole card, each card is dealt to raise, and five cards are compared to the size. Behind each of them stood a senior waiter, holding a white hot towel, and the four of them wiped their hands with a hot towel while gambling.

The cards were dealt by a white-bearded old gentleman, wearing a white silk robe, the wrinkled hands, like dead bark, but as slippery as a loach, when shuffling the cards, only the sound of the wind was heard, and a deck of playing cards in his hand was long and short, which was dazzling. Sheng Enyi laughed and introduced Ruan Yiyong to them: "This is Macau's top licensing master, and I specially spent a lot of money to invite it!" ”

Ruan Yiyong glanced at the old man and did not speak. I don't know if it's intentional, the other two were just foils that night, and they looked at the hole cards when they issued one or two, shook their heads and said that the cards were not good, and threw them away, only Ruan Yiyong put Sheng Enyi on each bar, but every time he lost to him, so angry that Ruan Yiyong broke up the table.

Sheng Enyi was very proud, and sarcastically said to Ruan Yiyong: "Brother, can you afford to play?" If you can't afford to play, you will admit defeat, and I will give you all the wins I won tonight. ”

"Throw in the towel? Joke! Have the ability to multiply the stakes tenfold. Ruan Yiyong said without changing his face.

Sheng Enyi's hand was unstoppable and promised to raise the ante. After gambling for dozens of rounds, seeing that the money from the 100 houses he lost to Ruan Yiyong last time was slowly coming back, Sheng Enyi's heart blossomed.

Ruan Yiyong took a cigar in his mouth, lit it, and swallowed the clouds. Perhaps too focused on the table, his bright eyes didn't turn much. After losing a lot of money, he didn't seem to care, and kept pushing the money on his desk in front of Sheng Enyi with both hands.

After all, the old gentleman who dealt the cards was old, and after dozens of rounds of cards, he gasped for breath, and the beads of sweat on his forehead fell to the ground with a snap. The sky outside the window was almost bright, the early chickens had crowed twice, and most of the onlookers yawned, if it weren't for the excitement of Ruan Yiyong and Sheng Enyi's gambling money, they would have dispersed early.

"I'm out of luck tonight, let's be bigger, and we'll win in three games. When you're done losing, go home and sleep with your wife. If I lose, I'll give you back a hundred houses, so that the old gentleman can go back to rest, how about it? Ruan Yiyong yawned, took the last towel from the plate, and pushed half of the money in front of him.

Sheng Enyi was carried away by the victory, didn't think about it, nodded and agreed. He thought to himself, "If I win these three, I'll be back with a hundred houses." ”

The old gentleman began to deal cards, and the atmosphere on the scene became tense. In the first game, Sheng Enyi won again. In the second game, Sheng Enyi just pushed the money on the table, and found that someone was pulling the corner of his suit, and when he looked down, Sun Yonghui found the restaurant with a big belly, and she asked him to go back. At that time, Sun Yonghui had been pregnant with her child for four or five months.

"What are you doing here?" Sheng Enyi saw his daughter-in-law running out with a big belly, and felt very faceless, and asked angrily.

Sun Yonghui replied: "Today, my in-laws have returned to Shanghai, and there are few people in the family, so I am afraid and can't sleep alone." ”

Sheng Enyi didn't look back: "After betting on these two, I'll go home." ”

The people watching the excitement next to him saw a beautiful young woman, and suddenly came to their senses, and they gossiped: "I can't tell you about such a beautiful pregnant woman on the gambling table, and the love scene is proud, the casino is bound to lose, hurry up and wash your hands." ”

The old gentleman dealt another card. Sheng Enyi carefully turned over the cards and saw that the cards were rotten, so he yelled at Sun Yonghui: "You go back for me." ”

Sun Yonghui refused. grabbed Sheng Enyi's hand and insisted that he go home. Sheng Enyi raised his hand, and Sun Yonghui fell to the ground.

Ruan Yiyong saw the person he once liked fall to the ground and stood up, but when he saw her big belly, his heart ached, and he sighed in his heart that things were wrong. The legs were as heavy as lead, and there was no step.

Sheng Enyi asked Ruan Yiyong: "What do you want to do when you stand up?" Still bet or not? ”

At this time, the old gentleman dealt the last card. Sheng Enyi looked at the hole cards, which were too bad, so he was upset and threw the cards away.

"I'm going to the bathroom." Nguyen Yiyong showed his hole cards. Laugh. It turned out that his cards were not as good as Sheng Enyi.

Sun Yonghui stood behind Sheng Enyi at this time, or let him go home, Sheng Enyi was furious, and slapped Sun Yonghui in the face, this was the first time he hit his wife, Sun Yonghui cried whining, pear blossoms brought rain. Pitiful.

Ruan Yiyong rubbed his eyes and said, "I'm sleepy too." In this way, let's make a quick decision, and don't embarrass your daughter-in-law and play the last hand. ”

Sheng Enyi nodded, glanced at the old gentleman, the old gentleman from Macau smiled, and began to deal cards, dealt to the fourth card, Ruan Yiyong's hand of the card is a hole card A, a heart K, a heart Q, a heart J, Sheng Enyi's hand of the card hole card is a K, a pair of A, a Q. At this time, the old gentleman didn't know if he was too tired, his hand shook, and all the cards in his hand fell to the ground, he said, "I'm sorry, I'm dizzy", and went to pick up the cards on the ground.

The old gentleman didn't pick up a card next to Sheng Enyi's feet, and Ruan Yiyong got up to go to the toilet.

Sheng Enyi picked up a card at the bottom of his feet and saw that it was an ace of hearts, so he took advantage of everyone's inattention and secretly replaced the hole cards in his hand, and his card became the largest 3A.

Ruan Yiyong came back from going to the toilet and saw that his last card was a ten of hearts, and laughed, "After losing all night, I finally got a big hand, and I let it go." He threw away all the money in front of him, and staked the gold watch on his wrist and the gold necklace around his neck. Then he stared at Sheng Enyi, "Brother, the bet I made plus the hundred houses you lost to me last time, do you dare to open the cards?" ”

According to the rules, Sheng Enyi also needs to come up with the same money to open the cards, he pushed out all the money in front of him, and put his valuable things on the table: "Open the cards." ”

"Your money is obviously not enough compared to my bet, think about how much a hundred houses are worth. Do you still have anything of value? Ruan Yiyong looked at Sun Yonghui, who had a big belly.

Sheng Enyi thought to himself, anyway, I am "3A", and if I win, I slapped the table: "I'll bet my wife too, it's enough." ”

When Sun Yonghui heard this, it was like five thunderbolts, and he scolded angrily: "Enyi, you conscienceless thing!" ”

Sheng Enyi yelled at her, "Don't think that if you drink foreign ink for a few days, you can disobey women's ways!" You know what, don't interject! ”

"A gentleman's word is hard to chase!" Ruan Yiyong laughed, stared at Sheng Enyi's hole cards and said, "If I win, I will have a wife and children." Although your wife has a big belly, she is really a beautiful embryo, I want to have her and have a few more fat boys! After speaking, he shook his hand and showed his hole card, which was an ace of hearts: "My card is a dragon of hearts, you have to be bigger than me, the money and things on the table, and the last hundred houses, are all yours, open the cards." ”

Looking at Ruan Yiyong's hole cards, Sheng Enyi was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that Ruan Yiyong's hole card is also an ace of hearts, and there can't be two aces of hearts in a deck of playing cards, if he shows his hole cards, he will prove that he is cheating. His legs trembled, and his head was sweating profusely. Because the old gentleman was also invited by him, he can only consider himself unlucky.

"Open the cards, why don't you open them, if you don't open them, you admit defeat." Nguyen Ngai Dung stretched and said, pulling out a shiny saber from his trouser pocket and repairing his fingernails. The gentlemen present also whistled and said, "Hurry up!" "I can't afford to lose!" "Hurry up and open the cards!"

Sheng Enyi's mind was stunned all of a sudden. That day, he didn't know how he got home alone, and the rain was pouring down, and he finally passed out in the mud.

Ruan Yiyong took Sun Yonghui to his villa, and he wanted to ask him why she chose Sheng Enyi instead of eloping with him in the first place.

Because of Sun Yonghui, he couldn't extricate himself for a long time, he didn't find a fixed girlfriend, every relationship didn't exceed a month, dating, holding hands, kissing, going to bed, or car shock, breaking up, always these few steps, like **fast food, tired of eating, a little nauseous. Ruan Yiyong often wakes up alone in the middle of the night, he carefully recalls every detail of his relationship with Sun Yonghui, and wants to know where he lost? But every time I have a splitting headache. The love of youth, the heart full of courage and enthusiasm, not afraid of being hurt, not afraid of paying, not afraid of love, is so innocent, but the pain that follows is so unforgettable, every night in the dead of night, will wake up. Ruan Yiyong wants to know why his love makes him sink like this! (To be continued......)
