After Song Kai washed it, it was convenient for the young lady to go to the city together.

Suzhou City is not big, but if you walk on your feet, you have to walk for half a day, and generally speaking, the more people live in the center of the city, the more status they have.

The person Song Kai is going to visit, even if he is a famous man in Suzhou City, known as "Zhang Lao", Zhang Lao is not surnamed Zhang, but surnamed Zhang, named Zhang Yunyin.

Zhang Yunyin actually has no status, his family is not wealthy, he doesn't read much, and his ancestors have no status, but since he carved a seal for the imperial master, he has become famous all of a sudden.

Song Kai and Qingniang went shopping while touching Zhang Yunyin's house.

On the road, the young lady is like a child, look at this shop, walk around that shop, and be even more happy when she arrives at the market.

Song Kaifang remembered that although he had brought Qingniang to the city a long time ago, he had no chance to let her come out to play.

On the way, Song Kai bought a handful of pine nut candy.

"Thank you, Lang Jun!" Qingniang pulled Song Kai's arm, "Lang Jun, you are so good." ”

Song Kai touched Qing Niang's head, "That's good, if someone else buys a room of pine nut candy, will you give up me to be a maid for someone else?" ”

"Lang Jun, what are you talking about!" Qing Niang pursed her lips and stomped her foot hatefully, "Don't talk about a room full of pine nut candy, even if it's a room full of gold, I'm also Lang Jun's maid." ”

Song Kai laughed.

The two of them talked and laughed, and then came to a courtyard.

The area of the courtyard is not large, but the door is very large and magnificent, and on the right hand side of the door, there is also a stele carved into it. The stele describes the process of Zhang Yunyin carving the seal for the Taishi. and the words of the first chapter of Suzhou, which was written by the Taishi himself.

If it's a time of peace. The Taishi question "Suzhou Chapter 1" sentence, I have to ask the guilt, whether it is the first, it is naturally for the emperor to judge, but in this troubled times, many times, the rights of eunuchs are greater than the emperor, and the rights of some eunuchs are higher than those of eunuchs.

Anyway, Zhang Yunyin is very proud. Moreover, because of this engraving, he is also well-known in Suzhou City.

Song Kai and Qingniang walked over.

The door is closed.

Song Kai knocked on it for a long time, and only then did an old man over the age of sixtieth come over and open the door out of breath.

"May I ask if this is Zhang Lao's mansion?" Song Kai asked.

"Yes, Lang Jun, why are you looking for our master?" The old man lost a few teeth, and his speech was a little leaky, but fortunately, Song Kai's ears were not bad and he could hear clearly.

"Oh, I want to find your family Zhang Lao to engrave some words, if he ......" Song Kai was still a little embarrassed. In fact, he came to ask Zhang Yunyin how to carve the seal.

"Is it business? Quick, come in! The lord is in the hall! The old man didn't wait for Song Kai to finish. I only heard that it was business, so I pulled Song Kai and Qingniang into the door.

The yard is dirty and apparently no one has cleaned it for a long time.

Some of the bluestone slabs were shattered, and there were broken porcelain on the ground.

Song Kai frowned, how did he feel like he had entered a celebrity's house, but like he had entered a newly dilapidated home.

Qing Niang looked at the surrounding situation, covered her mouth and said, "Lang Jun, this old man is really good, the gate is built so luxuriously, but the home is a mess. ”

Song Kai also laughed helplessly, "No wonder as soon as I heard that we were here to engrave the seal, they hurriedly invited us home, it turned out that their family had no rice to cook." ”

Qingniang also laughed, "This is like what Lang Jun said, you have to face and suffer if you die." ”

Song Kai and the others both laughed.

Before he got close to the hall, he heard a crisp "bang", followed by the old man's scolding voice: "Get out of here!" Never come back! You rebel! ”

"Daddy! Daddy, wait, I'll win everything back," a slightly hoarse voice sounded, and then a slightly chubby man rushed out of the hall, clutching a golden engraved seal in his hand.

"You leave me that gold medallion! Our old Zhang Jiake pointed to the gold medal...... Ouch, you're mad at me, you rebel, you're mad at me! The old man's gasp for air came from the room.

The fat man looked back worriedly, and when he saw that there was nothing serious, he ran out of the mansion with the gold medal in his hand.

Song Kai and Qing Niang glanced at each other, and hurriedly approached the hall, and the old slave who was over the age of sixteen also followed and entered the hall.

In the hall, a somewhat thin old man, who was holding his chest and panting, saw Song Kai and Qing Niang, the old man struggled to stand up, and said, "Two, please sit down, let ...... Ahem, let the two of them laugh. ”

The old slave patted the old man on the back, "Master, don't be angry, the young master is not like this once or twice." ”

"But...... But my golden medal," the old man closed his eyes and cried out in pity, "that is the heirloom of our Zhang family, and I will pass it on from generation to generation." ”

Song Kai saw that the two old men were about to sigh again, and hurriedly said, "Two old men, what happened?" ”

"Who are the two?" The old man asked.

The old slave hurriedly said: "Master, these two are here to ask for a chapter. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be a guest, let the two of you laugh, I'm Zhang Yunyin, what do you want to engrave?" Zhang Yunyin sat up straight, his old face tried to calm down, and made a posture that a master should have.

Song Kai arched his hand, "This time I am presumptuous, in fact, the two of us mainly admire your reputation, so I would like to ask you to teach some of the most basic seal carving techniques." ”

As soon as Zhang Yunyin heard this, his face instantly drooped, "Are you here to steal art?" ”

When the old slave heard this, he immediately said: "Two, you guys are not authentic, the kung fu of carving seals is the most precious thing for my master, and it is also the stunt of our master, how can you be like this...... So...... It's so shameless. ”

Song Xingxing couldn't help but disdain, but after thinking about it carefully, in this era, maybe this old man's engraving technique is really secret, unlike in later generations, where elementary school students can carve a piece of eraser.

"Just give us some pointers, just let the two of us know the basic kung fu," Song Kai said, taking out a large gold ingot from his sleeve.

See five taels of gold ingots. The old slave's eyes lit up. immediately turned his head to Zhang Yunyin and said, "Master." I think these two are also quite sincere, not to mention, just learn the basic carving method, I can teach them. ”

"Shut up! That's my ancestral craft, and this little bit of gold wants to buy me? "Zhang Yunyin is righteous and awe-inspiring.

"Don't teach to pull down, go, Lang Jun, we don't learn yet. Isn't it just engraving? It's just a matter of groping," Qingniang was very unhappy, pouted, pulled Song Kai's arm and left.

When the old slave saw that Song Kai was really leaving, he hurriedly said, "Slow, slow, please wait." Saying that, the old slave turned to Zhang Yunyin and said, "Master, we can make some money now, at least." You can quickly redeem the gold medal that the young master took away. ”

"What's the use of redeeming it! After redeeming him, he lost money playing mahjong, so he still has to take it for me! Zhang Yunyin's angry beard was straight.

Song Kai was stunned. opened his mouth and said: "Listen to what Elder Zhang meant, your family Langjun lost money playing mahjong?" ”

"It's not just that he lost money," the old slave sighed, and the result was stubble, "Lang Jun, you see, a good mansion, he was stunned by his loss, he used to be a good gambler, but he was still a little restrained, and now I don't know what happened, I was completely obsessed with a ...... What kind of mahjong thing is called, Lang Jun, you also saw it, he just took the most valuable gold medal in the house to the pawnshop! ”

Song Kai's face was a little hot, it seems that it is not a good thing for this mahjong to appear too early.

Qing Niang also lowered her head.

Song Kai put down the gold and said, "Elder Zhang, let's do it, I can let your family Langjun no longer corrupt the family's property from now on, but this matter of Zhang is ......"

"It's absolutely no problem to engrave the seal!" Zhang Yunyin raised his head suddenly, "As long as you let that loser quit gambling, I won't take a penny, and I'm willing to pass on the craftsmanship of this engraving to the two of you, of course, it's too complicated for me to teach, after all, I have to leave food for myself." ”

Song Kai laughed, "Okay, I'm not asking him to quit gambling, I'm trying to make him undefeated from now on." This old man, please take me to the place where your young master is gambling. ”

The old slave was a little surprised, but it was an opportunity, so he immediately nodded and said, "Please come with me, two of you." ”

Song Kai nodded, picked up the ingot of gold, and followed the old slave to the outside of the house.

Not far from the courtyard, there is a gambling house.

Qingping Gambling House.

The gambling house is very large, which is magnificent.

In fact, gambling houses and green houses are legal and necessary, and they are regarded as an important entertainment activity.

Entering the gambling house, there was a constant shouting inside, in addition to the shouting, it was the sound of lala washing mahjong.

When I walked into the room, I saw that there were more than 20 mahjong tables in a tense fight.

On the contrary, there are not many people playing in other places where dice and points are bet.

Song Kai walked over and took a look, and sure enough, these mahjong were all produced in his own inn.

A fat man with a money bag in his hand was sitting at the table anxiously playing cards.

Song Kai walked behind the fat man and watched the fat man play his cards.

The level of the fat man is quite good, but the three people who play with him are obviously old thousands, and the three of them already know to collude with each other and feed each other cards.

Song Kai sighed, patted the fat man's shoulder, and said, "The three of them are from the gambling house?" ”

The fat man was stunned and looked at Song Kai strangely.

The other three looked at Song Kai, and one of them asked, "What does this Lang Jun mean?" ”

"The three of us are naturally not from the gambling house."

"Yes, we're just people who gather in the gambling house to play mahjong."

Each of the three said a word.

Song Kai snorted and said, "Since you are playing mahjong, you need to be fair, the three of you collude together, can the casino let you deceive others?" ”

Hearing the noise here, two thugs in Tsing Yi walked over, "What's going on!" So noisy? ”

These two men are the caretakers of the casino.

Song Kai pointed at the three people and said, "The three of them are deceitful and join forces to deceive my friends." ”

"Huh?"

The two thugs in Tsing Yi looked at each other, then looked into the distance.

A very rich middle-aged man walked over and said, "What's going on?" ”

The three of them were obviously thieves, and one of them stood up violently and pointed at Song Kai, "You are spewing blood, why are we cheating?" The four of us don't know each other very well, so how can we cheat? Besides, this is mahjong, where is there a way to cheat, you think it is to shake the dice and pour mercury! ”

Song Kai looked at the casino manager.

The fat man also looked at Song Kai and said, "This Lang Jun, do you have any evidence that the three of them are cheating." ”

Song Kai chuckled, "It's not easy, excuse me, the three of you have won so much money, presumably the level of mahjong is good." ”

The three of them each sneered, "Of course, is it possible that all the money we won was obtained by fraud?" ”

"Since you admit it, it's good, this steward, you can now look at the cards on their table to know if the three of them have cheated," Song Kai pouted and smiled.

As soon as the words fell, the faces of the three people turned pale, and as soon as two of them reached out, they were about to push down the cards in front of them.

The three of them are out of the old man, in fact, the method is very simple, if one of them has a good card, as long as he makes a little small action, such as coughing twice is to ask for two cakes, knocking down the table is to ask for 10,000 and so on, these simple communication can be.

When the other two receive the signal, they will play their cards out of their hands, so as to ensure that their own people win.

Hearing Song Kai say that they wanted to check the mahjong cards on the table, they naturally knew that something was wrong, because some of the cards were broken and played out, and they knew that there was a problem at a glance.

The two people reached out to push down the cards, and the middle-aged man in charge stretched out his palms and knocked the two people to the ground with a "snap".

"Bring these three people into the backyard secret room for me!" The fat man's face sank and he shouted! (To be continued......)
