Not to mention whether Yuan Xiugang and this official can fight for more than fifty rounds in the study this time, but it is said that Qin Baichuan was sent out by the family, Tan Jiaotou helped him into the carriage, and he couldn't help but ask after walking a short distance: "Sir, I vaguely heard it in the courtyard just now, and you told Yuan Xiugang that the Lord sent you over?" ”

"yes, what's wrong?" Qin Baichuan raised his eyebrows: "On the way here, you also said that we are all doing things for the Lord, what's wrong with me saying that?" ”

"No, I just think it's a little weird." Tan Jiaotou didn't know that Zhou Guangyao was the illegitimate son of the governor of Beijun, and he only thought that Qin Baichuan had a grudge with Yuan Xiugang for a certain girl from the Ministry of Rites, so he just asked. In fact, the Ministry of Rites in just one place, let alone the Lord, even if he didn't pay attention to it.

Tan Jiaotou no longer asked, but Qin Baichuan was secretly thinking in his heart, today he came over to reveal his identity, if he can persuade Yuan Xiugang to pass the word to Zhou Guangyao through him, it is best to solve Shen Bijun's difficulties, if Yuan Xiugang does not give face, then provoke the contradiction between him and Tan Jiaotou, now it is obviously the latter.

"Tan Jiaotou, go to the Qianjin Gambling House." Qin Baichuan commanded.

"Okay." Tan Jiaotou turned his horse's head and walked towards the Qianjin Gambling House, in Yuan Xiugang's mansion, he listened to every word of the conversation between Qin Baichuan and Jiading, knowing that he was going to find trouble with Zhou Guangyao.

The carriage stopped at the door of the Qianjin Gambling House, and it was the gambling season in the middle of the moon at this time, and the people in the Qianjin Gambling House were boiling, and the sound of shouting and screaming strongly hit their eardrums. This time is different from the previous two times, in terms of identity, Qin Baichuan is now one level higher than Ying Tiannan, and after receiving Tan Jiaotou's prior notice, Ying Tiannan hurriedly greeted him.

"Mr. Qin, what kind of wind is blowing you here today?" Ying Tiannan's words had a little more polite flavor, when he was in the coastal army, Li Mingxiu was his direct superior, and even Li Mingxiu could sacrifice for the sake of Qin Baichuan, not to mention his little steward.

"It's okay to come and go around." Qin Baichuan followed Ying Tiannan into the gambling house, he did not stop on the first floor, but walked directly to the second floor. Finding a corner that was not easy for others to see, Qin Baichuan looked condescendingly, searched around, and did not see Su Muqing and Zhou Guangyao.

"Mr. Qin is looking for that Zhou Guangyao from Beijun, Zhou Gongzi?" Ying Tiannan passed the qi with Tan Jiaotou in advance, and saw that Qin Baichuan seemed to be looking for someone, so he took the initiative to ask.

"He's not here?" Qin Baichuan asked.

"In the Shengshi Gambling Street, our Qianjin Gambling House is the most famous, although Zhou Guangyao is from Beijun, but people who are good gamblers will inevitably patronize us." Ying Tiannan said with a smile: "Mr. I don't know, this is a place for ordinary people to fight their luck, and a distinguished guest like Zhou Gongzi gambles with a few friends in the private room." ”

"Oh?" Qin Baichuan was silent.

"Didn't Mr. Qin want to play with that Zhou Gongzi?" Ying Tiannan said again.

"It's better to play with him than with you." Qin Baichuan said meaningfully.

Mr. Qin laughed. Ying Tiannan shrugged his shoulders and said, "If Mr. is short of silver, he will send a letter to Cheng Gongzi, as long as he gets his order, how much silver does Mr. Qin want to take from here, Ying will never frown." ”

"Ask Cheng Xingyun for silver? Don't be funny, I just asked Tan Jiaotou to fly the pigeon two days ago, and he replied simply, if you want any money, let me get it. Qin Baichuan shook his head.

"Then there's nothing I can do." Ying Tiannan made an expression of inhelp, and explained: "If Mr. wants to win some silver from Zhongzhou Guangyao, then I think ...... Forget it. Although Zhou Gongzi is a good gambler, he only wins or loses about 1,000 taels of silver every day, which is a lot for others, but Mr. may not take it seriously. ”

Qin Baichuan thought about it a little, today he had already sent a message to Yuan Xiugang, before Yuan Xiugang made a new move, if he went to teach Zhou Guangyao a lesson, it seemed a bit of a bully, and besides, he was not proficient in gambling skills, and before he was well prepared, he was not stupid enough to take the initiative to give Zhou Guangyao silver.

"I should be in charge, I suddenly remembered that the Hundred Flowers Workshop still has some things to deal with, so I went back." Qin Baichuan decided not to meet Zhou Guangyao first, and said, "If you can, there is something I want to ask the steward for help." ”

"Mr. Qin has something to order, as long as he does not disobey the Lord's admonition, he will never give up." Ying Tiannan hugged his fists.

"Last time I bet on the size of the idea, I know you deliberately let me, if necessary, I want to compare with Zhou Guangyao in the past two days, and let the dealer sit in the village last time, how about it?" Qin Baichuan pondered for a while, and made a bet on Shen Bijun on the gambling table, and winning Zhou Guangyao seemed to be a way to solve the problem.

"This ...... I'm afraid not. Ying Tiannan shook his head a little embarrassed, and said: "The Qianjin Gambling House opens the door to do business, and we will prepare whatever the guests say to play...... That week, Guangyao Zhou Gongzi's favorite thing is to push pai gow, and every time he comes to the Qianjin Gambling House, he also closes the door to bet with a few friends, but he is afraid that it will be difficult to do tricks. ”

"Pai Gow, Ah ......" Qin Baichuan has a big head, he has heard of Pai Gow, but most of the modern people get together to fight landlords and play mahjong, but they rarely play Pai Gow, at least he doesn't know anything.

"If Mr. really wants to gamble, it's easy, why don't you stay in the Qianjin Gambling House tonight and let me teach you personally?" Ying Tiannan saw that Qin Baichuan had a tangled look on his face, and tentatively proposed.

"Tan Jiaotou, will you push Pai Gow?" Qin Baichuan had little interest in staying in the Qianjin Gambling House.

"It will be yes, it is better to be proficient in managing things." Tan Jiaotou replied.

"You don't need to be proficient in gambling with Zhou Guangyao, you just can." Qin Baichuan waved his hand and said, "You should be in charge, prepare two decks of pai gow for me, and I'll go back and practice with Tan Jiaotou." If necessary, I hope to be able to gamble with Zhou Guangyao at any time. ”

"That's easy to do." Ying Tiannan clenched his fists: "When does Mr. want to gamble, send someone to inform, and I will notify Zhou Gongzi in one hour at most." He is a gambling addict, and besides, the people who come to him deliberately lose money to him, there is absolutely no reason why he should not be. ”

At the request of Tiannan to turn around, it didn't take long for a gambling house maid to pull out two decks of pai gow, and after Tan Jiaotou took it, they left the Qianjin gambling house. On the way back to the Hundred Flowers Workshop, Qin Baichuan opened the pai gow box and poured out all the dominoes inside. The back of this pai gow is black, and there are criss-crossing points inside, which makes Qin Baichuan a little big.

"Sir, pai gow is actually very simple, it first evolved from dice, as long as two by two are added." Tan Jiaotou looked at Qin Baichuan puzzled, and explained to himself: "Compared with dice, Pai Gow is slightly more complicated, but with Mr.'s ingenuity, it should not be difficult to master." Pai Gow has a total of 32 chapters, of which there are ten cards in pairs, and the rest are single, which is the so-called cultural relics card, which is generally said to be greater than a single card...... You see, the card you are holding in your hand, red six points, black six points, is the so-called day card, two days together is a double sky, unless the other party has the supreme treasure, otherwise it can be killed. ”

"What is the Supreme Treasure?" Qin Baichuan is no stranger to this term, it seems that the Supreme Treasure is the biggest deck of cards in Pai Gow, and the movie "Journey to the West" by Xing Ye gave the protagonist such a name, which implies a deep meaning.

"The emperor monkey king is right, Ding three with two or four is the supreme treasure." Tan Jiaotou smiled and said: "Pai Gow Pai Gow, if there is no pair of cards two by two plus nine is the largest, zero is the smallest, Mr. Find it yourself, see if you can spell out a pair of absolute." ”

"Ding San...... Twenty-four ......" Qin Baichuan picked the cards for a long time, took out a three-point and a six-point respectively, and handed it to Tan Jiaotou: "Supreme Treasure? ”

"I'll just say that my sir will definitely learn it as soon as he learns." Tan Jiaotou gave a thumbs up and smiled: "Three points This card is a singular number, a red dot and two black dots, so it is called Ding San is also called a little monkey, and the back of this two black dots and four red dots is a total of six points, called two four is also called a big monkey, and the sum of the two cards is nine points, which is the so-called emperor monkey king pair." These two cards are martial cards, and they are also single cards, which may not be of much use if they are fighting separately, but when they are matched together, they are invincible. ”

"Kind of understood." Qin Baichuan rubbed his head, pushing pai gow seems to be similar to baccarat to some extent.

"There are quite a lot of sayings in Pai Gow, such as the sky card, the hole card, the human card, and the card, to obtain the meaning of heaven, earth and man, and what is the long three, bench, axe, red head ten, high foot seven, copper hammer six......" Tan Jiaotou said some professional terms on pai gow, and said with a smile: "These gentlemen will play more in the future, and they will naturally remember." Pai Gow gambling is divided into large and small, four big pai gow per person, two pairs are divided into two groups before and after, and the same wins and loses; Small pai gow is simple, just two cards, one to determine the winner. ”

"Don't remember these boring, let me ask you, there are pairs to catch the right, the more points the bigger the card, no pair to make up the number, the bigger the mantissa card, is this the truth?" Qin Baichuan basically figured out the method of determining the winner of Pai Gow.

"yes, that's it." Tan Jiaotou said with a smile.

"What should I do if I want to be a good man?" Qin Baichuan asked again.

"Out of the old ......" Tan Jiaotou smiled bitterly, ordinary gamblers are attracted by the way they play when they first come into contact with gambling, and they don't even care much about winning or losing, only after losing to a certain extent and realizing that gambling costs money, they will think about these crooked ways. Tan Jiaotou shook his head and said: "After you are familiar with the rules, you will use techniques or partners to cooperate." If Mr. wants to come up with a thousand things, I'm afraid there are still many things to learn. ”

"That's it......" What Tan Jiaotou said is also true, Zhou Guangyao doesn't play with the dealer, and Qin Baichuan has just come into contact with this thing, so this side can be regarded as breaking his desire to win Zhou Guangyao. However, as soon as Tan Jiaotou's voice fell, Qin Baichuan's eyes suddenly lit up: "It doesn't matter if I don't come out, just let someone out." ”

Seeing Qin Baichuan laughing, Tan Jiaotou couldn't guess what he was thinking, so he could only remain silent.
