Five hundred and forty. Gambling (8th Shift)
The theft of the pocket watch did not affect Wang Weiyi's mood.
What he needed was a protective color, and now that he knew Farouk I, what did it matter if he didn't have a pocket watch? Even the Maserati sports car Wang Weiyi has been sent away.
At the dinner, Wang Weiyi met Queen Farida, the wife of Farouk I.
When he saw this aristocratic queen, these words immediately popped up in Wang Weiyi's mind:
Cleopatra.
Yes, Cleopatra!
No matter in any aspect, appearance or figure, Farida is very similar to the famous in history, but no one knows what kind of Cleopatra looks like.
Although no one knows what Cleopatra looked like, Farida gave her first impression
Farouk I did not seem to notice that his wife was the most glamorous of the feasts, as if the king had little to do with his wife.
He boasted to his ministers and guests about what he had seen and heard in England, and boasted about how much sex he had in England
The ministers were very embarrassed, but Queen Farida seemed to be accustomed to her husband's attitude, just there with her head down silently tasting the food, occasionally raising her head, but always finding the "Baron Andrew" from England looking at her, her face flushed, and she quickly lowered her head, but after a while, she couldn't help but raise her head
This damn baron, it's just too bold. Didn't he know who he was? Queen Farida thought to herself.
But if you think about it carefully, that baron is so young and handsome, but it is much better than her fat husband who is as fat as a pig next to him. It's terrible how I can have such an idea
Farouk I was not aware of all this, and when he had finished his affairs in a high-spirited manner, he suddenly asked, "What about you, Monsieur Baron?" Do you have any stories worth telling? ”
"Ah, Your Majesty the King, my experience is nothing compared to yours." Wang Weiyi said humbly: "I have only been to a few places. Cairo is also my first time. If I had to tell a story, I think about it, I've been to China. I think all of you here may know that China has a history of civilization as ancient as Egypt."
The conversation soon began in the section of history, but it was clear that Farouk I was not interested in any of these things. In his opinion. Instead of talking about these old things. It's more interesting to talk about women.
If the other party was not British, he would have shut them up a long time ago
It was easy to wait for a moment when their discussion of history came to a halt, and Farouk I immediately interjected: "My friends, the dinner is almost over, and I think why don't we come and find some entertainment?" For example, how about playing cards? ”
Wang Weiyi was about to refuse, but found that Mr. Roliman nodded quietly at him. Maybe in Cairo if you want to be unimpeded, except for the identity of the British. I guess I'll have to get the king's favor
Wang Weiyi never imagined that he would gamble with the kings and ministers of Egypt in the palace in Cairo.
They play "stud". With a five-card hand and a maximum limit of £1,000, not everyone can afford to play.
Wang Weiyi, Roliman, Farouk I, the two ministers all joined the game, and the most surprising thing for Wang Weiyi was that Farida also sat on the table in Egypt
Hell, a woman, a queen also likes to gamble? It's probably because life in the palace is too boring
After a few hands, the wins and losses were not very large, and as the game progressed, even the calm Mr. Roliman was fully involved in it, and the money on the table gradually increased.
Wang Weiyi got a hand that was not very good, the hole card was a black heart 3, and the face card was a Q, and he didn't care too much, so he picked up a pound and threw it out: "Ten pounds." ”
"Aha, Mr. Baron, it seems that your cards are not good." Farouk I sat at the table, no different from any gambler: "I'll follow, a hundred pounds bigger than you." ”
His face card is an ace of diamonds.
Probably everyone didn't have good cards, no one followed, and Queen Farida was the first to join the cards.
Wang Weiyi didn't care about the money, and followed one by one, and when the last card was issued, Wang Weiyi had a pair of Qs.
"A thousand pounds, Monsieur Baron, would you be interested in following me again?" The face card was a pair of 10s, and Farouk I, an ace and a king, said defiantly.
"I'll follow." Wang Weiyi quietly added a thousand pounds.
"Look, look what I've got!" Farouk I suddenly became excited, and spread out his hole card, which was another ace.
Two pairs!
Wang Weiyi shrugged his shoulders and closed all the cards: "Your Majesty, your luck is good, you won." ”
"Aha, Mr. Baron, with all due respect, you're not very good at your cards." Farouk I received all the money in front of him with great interest.
Wang Weiyi admitted that without Xiaoling's help, his card skills would be really bad
When a new round of cards is issued, perhaps God has his own arrangement, Wang Weiyi's hole card is still the black heart 3, but the face card, it is a red heart 3.
A pair of 3, it looks good.
And Queen Farida's hand seems to be pretty good, with a face card of a 9.
One by one, the cards were followed, and the money in the bet was already piled high.
Wang Weiyi's luck seems to have improved, and he got another 3 and a 6.
The rest of the group has withdrawn, leaving only Queen Farida, who has a pair of nines and a three.
"A thousand pounds." Queen Farida silently threw out a large sum of money.
"I'll follow." Wang Weiyi said lightly.
This money is nothing in his eyes, and he can afford to lose it completely.
But Queen Farida had lost a lot before, and she couldn't afford to lose because Farouk I wouldn't give some of her money to his wife, and the queen's money was all royal subsidies, and she couldn't afford to lose.
The last card was dealt, and Wang Weiyi got a 6 of diamonds! Now, his face cards are a pair of 3s and a pair of 6s.
Queen Farida was given an ace.
"A thousand pounds." Queen Farida was a little excited.
"I'll follow." Wang Weiyi still had that pampered expression.
Just as she was about to open the cards, Queen Farida suddenly asked, "Mr. Baron, can you still raise?" ”
It seems that her hole card may be another 9, Wang Weiyi smiled faintly: "Queen, it's just entertainment, don't be so serious." ”
Queen Farida, however, stared at each other and asked the same question: "Mr. Baron, can you still raise?" ”
Wang Weiyi shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "As you wish, Queen." ”
Queen Farida took a necklace from her neck and placed it on the table: "Monsieur Baron, this is what my mother gave me, is it worth ten thousand pounds?" ”
Wang Weiyi glanced at it, a good necklace, especially the gem set on the pendant, was even more valuable, about 15,000 to 20,000 pounds.
"This necklace is good, definitely more than ten thousand." Wang Weiyi said matter-of-factly: "I can be it for 20,000 pounds, queen." Ah, I didn't have that much cash with me, I thought you could see this? ”
He pulled a diamond out of his pocket and slowly placed it on the table
Everyone's attention was drawn to this diamond, they had never seen a diamond so large and so perfect. Farouk I had a greedy look in his eyes. During the day, why didn't you steal this diamond?
"It's worth far more than £20,000." Queen Farida said in surprise.
"It doesn't matter, just take it 20,000 pounds." Wang Weiyi still smiled calmly.
Queen Farida gritted her teeth and spread out her hole cards, and sure enough, as Wang Weiyi expected, three 9s!
Queen Farrida smiled victoriously: "Mr. Baron, I still have a 3 here, will you have three 3s?" ”
Wang Weiyi smiled and slowly spread out the hole card: "Queen, your luck today doesn't look very good. fullhouse! ”
fullhouse!
Everyone's eyes widened!
Three 3s, one pair of 6s – fullhouse!
Queen Farida was completely stunned, and she sat there stunned without saying a word.
God, the other party really caught the fullhouse!
Wang Weiyi felt that today's luck was good, and he completely turned the tables in the end. At this time, Farouk I smiled and said, "Aha, our queen is not very lucky. See, gentlemen, it's too late, let them end this gamble happily. ”
Wang Weiyi put away what he had won and stood up, he didn't worry about Farouk I's people helping him collect it, God knows what they would take away.
Seeing that Farouk I wanted to come and hug him, Wang Weiyi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I don't have a second pocket watch." ”
King Farouk laughed, "Mr. Baron, you have a great sense of humor, and I hope to see you again soon." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty the King, I also hope the same."
When Wang Weiyi left, he deliberately glanced at Queen Farida more, and he found that Queen Farida was sitting there dumbfounded, without saying a word.
Wang Weiyi is a little strange, isn't it just a gemstone necklace, why should a queen care so much?
However, today's harvest is still good, not how much money I won, but the smooth approach to the king of Egypt, which is a great help for my trip to Egypt.
And, of course, the beautiful Queen of Egypt, Farida. (To be continued......)
