Chapter 84: The King of the Thousand Kings of the Nine Palaces
"Oh, that's a shame." Qiu Mubai wrinkled his nose a little stupidly.
Gu Xiaoying snorted coldly and said, "What's the pity, isn't it enough for our three beauties to drink with you?" β
Qiu Mubai knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly snorted and explained with a smile: "You misunderstood, what I said is a pity, it's not that it's a pity to have one less beautiful woman to drink with me, but that I may lose a good Showgirl, so it's a pity." β
Gu Xiaoying didn't say anything more, picked up the goblet with red wine and shook it gently.
"Hehe, let's drink."
Qiu Mubai raised his wine glass and drank it all first, and the three of them also raised their glasses and took a sip when they saw this.
"By the way, there are still a lot of things that need to be communicated in the follow-up that the two beauties can add, add a WeChat to facilitate contact."
"Hehe, what's the hurry, let's drink first." Su Ruixi said with a smile.
"Okay, let's have another drink." Qiu Mubai raised his glass.
"It's too crepe to drink like this, isn't it?,It's boring.,Why don't we play a game?"
Qiu Mubai raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm so happy, what game to play?" β
"Let's play the nine-square grid."
"Nine-square?" This is the first time Qiu Mubai has heard the name of this game.
"It's very simple, we'll know after one round. Waiter. Su Ruixi beckoned to the waiter.
The waiter hurriedly ran over: "Is there anything I can do?" β
"Excuse me, bring me a deck of poker."
"Okay, wait a minute."
The waiter went to the bar, and soon came over with a brand new set of pokers and put it in Su Ruixi's hand.
Su Ruixi opened the poker, shuffled the cards, and then drew 9 cards from the bottom, arranging 3 rows according to the way of 3 cards per row, 3 vertically and horizontally, which matched the name of the nine-square grid.
"Now, there are 9 cards on the table, and then it's up to the player to choose one of them, and then guess whether the next card in my hand is higher or lower than the one I just selected."
"Normally, we choose the safest hand to start playing, for example, King, King is the highest, so as long as you guess small, the probability of being right will be high."
"If the player guesses correctly, he can choose to continue playing, play all the cards with a high probability, and pass the cards with a small probability and easy to guess wrong. So, this game is all about guessing the size. β
"Then if you guess wrong, is it a punishment for drinking?" Gu Xiaoying raised her hand and asked.
Su Ruixi nodded and said, "Yes, let's talk about the rules of punishment, for example, for example, I choose 7." β
Su Ruixi stretched out her hand and pointed to the square piece 7 on the table.
"Now I guess the next card is higher than a seven."
Su Ruixi pulled out a card from the lower end of the pile of playing cards in his hand, and it turned out to be a jack.
"Okay, I'm drawing J right now, which is bigger than a 7, so I don't have to drink. Come again......"
Su Ruixi drew another one, and it was a 5 of spades.
"Okay, the one I've drawn now is a 5, which is smaller than a 7, so I'm going to have a drink."
"What if you draw cards of the same rank?" Zhang Jingyi asked.
"Well, that's a good question, if you draw a card of the same size, for example, I choose this 7, and I draw a 7, that's the 'middle column', if the middle column, you have to drink double the wine."
"Alright, got it, let's get started." Qiu Mubai rubbed his hands, revealing an expression of eagerness.
Isn't this just a game of probability, how to say that the probability of everyone losing is about the same, fortunately, the amount of alcohol is not bad, after a while, these girls will drink and lie down, maybe they can find a chance to take Su Ruixi back to their room.
When he first met Gu Xiaoying, Qiu Mubai really thought that this girl was quite cute, but when he saw Su Ruixi and Leng Yueshan, he felt that his heart couldn't help but "plop" and beat wildly.
This is probably the so-called "goddess", the first time I saw it, I couldn't help but want to bow down under her pomegranate skirt.
"Okay, let's get started!"
Su Ruixi smiled at the corner of her mouth, put the cards back together, and began to shuffle the cards.
Just when Qiu Mubai watched Su Ruixi shuffle the cards with interest, Gu Xiaoying next to him pulled Qiu Mubai's arm.
"Mu Bai, look at this dress, it's better for me to buy black? Or is it better to buy white? β
Qiu Mubai looked at Gu Xiaoying's mobile phone screen, it turned out that Gu Xiaoying was shopping on Taobao, and after a little glance, he said, "The black one, the black one is thinner." β
"But people like white." Gu Xiaoying pouted, with a hint of coquettishness in her voice.
While they were discussing the color of their clothes, Su Ruixi's hand quietly reached into the backpack placed on the stool, and lightly took out a pair of pokers that had been hidden inside, and then threw the deck of pokers on the table just now into the backpack.
Before going out of the room, Su Ruixi prepared a deck of poker, and edited all the cards of this deck of poker into a WeChat in order and put it in the WeChat group of public relations Sanjiao.
Just now, just when Gu Xiaoying diverted Qiu Mubai's attention, Su Ruixi successfully changed the deck of poker to a "tanuki for a prince".
Seeing Su Ruixi winking at herself, Gu Xiaoying shrugged her eyebrows and said, "Okay, just choose the black one, Xiaoying believes in Mu Bai's eyes." β
"Then I'll start dealing cards." Su Ruixi said with a calm face.
"Well, let's send it."
Su Ruixi drew 9 cards from the bottom end of the stack of pokers in his hand and arranged them on the table in the form of a nine-square grid.
Qiu Mubai looked at the table and saw that they were: J, K, K, 5, 7, 6, 6, 7, 3, and the nine cards, so he smiled and made a gesture of inviting the three girls.
βLady first.β
Su Ruixi glanced at Gu Xiaoying and Zhang Jingyi, and said, "Then start with me, and then take turns in a counterclockwise direction." β
And everybody said yes.
Su Ruixi pointed to a king of hearts and said, "I guess the next card is lower than this." β
Then he stretched out his finger and pulled it under the stack of pokers, and it was a square 10, which was really smaller than K. Su Ruixi took out the K on the nine-square grid and said with a smile:
"Players who guess correctly can choose to continue playing or choose PASS. Now I choose to continue. β
As she spoke, she chose the king of clubs on the board again: "I guess the next card is still lower than the king." β
Draw the card at the bottom and take a look, it is an 8 of hearts, which is really lower than the king.
"Well, I've guessed it right twice, so I won't be consuming my luck anymore, PASS."
Then it was Gu Xiaoying's turn, she pointed to the 3 in the nine-square grid and said, "It's bigger than 3." β
Su Ruixi turned over the bottom card, which was a 6.
Gu Xiaoying smiled and spread her right hand towards Qiu Mubai: "I'll pass, the next Mubai will come." β
Qiu Mubai looked at the cards on the table, there were still J, 5, 7, 6, 6, 7, only J had a bigger chance of winning among these cards, so he stretched out his finger and pointed at J and said, "I guess it's smaller than J." β
Su Ruixi smiled and hooked the corners of her mouth, and turned over the hole cards to see that it was also a J.
"Haha, Zhongzhu! Drink double! Public relations Sanjiao clapped her hands excitedly.
Qiu Mubai shrugged his eyebrows with a smile, poured two glasses of red wine in a willing gamble, and drank it with his neck tilted.
When it was Zhang Jingyi's turn, Zhang Jingyi had already looked at the following cards on his mobile phone, so he chose a 5 and successfully passed.
After a few rounds, the public relations Sanjiao deliberately lost once in order to avoid suspicion, and most of the bottles of red wine were drunk by Qiu Mubai alone.
Qiu Mubai is the kind of person who can't drink and can't make a face, his face is still white, but he has begun to shake his head a little when he speaks, his tongue is also big, and he stares at Su Ruixi with a pair of drunken eyes.
"I've run out of wine so quickly, and I'm not done yet."
Su Ruixi said, and without asking Qiu Mubai's opinion, he snapped his fingers at the waiter.
"Waiter, another bottle of Hennessy XO."
The waiter's face immediately showed a look of joy, this is the most expensive brandy in the store, the price is 2880 yuan, and he hurriedly ran towards the bar.
"Miss, the Hennessy XO you wanted."
The waiter put the wine on the table and removed the four men's red wine glasses and replaced them with four bantam brandy glasses.
Qiu Mubai tilted his head and smiled, and said with a big tongue: "You are quite knowledgeable, and the ones you choose are all high-quality wines." β
Su Ruixi hooked the corners of her mouth with a smile and said, "What, do you feel sorry for money?" Otherwise, switch to beer. β
Qiu Mubai waved his hand and said disdainfully: "How can I feel sorry for money!" Don't say anything XO, even if it's 82 Lafite, I don't frown. β
"Hehe, what a hero!" Su Ruixi smiled and gave Qiu Mubai a thumbs up, "We have made up your friends with a local tyrant, and the next time you drink 82-year-old Lafite, you must remember to bring us." β
"Definitely, definitely."
Qiu Mubai hurriedly agreed, wanting to take the opportunity to touch Su Ruixi's hand, but in front of Gu Xiaoying and Zhang Jingyi, he was really a little embarrassed, so he scratched his cheeks a little stupidly.
"Let's continue to play the Nine Square Grid, don't let us stop this time." Gu Xiaoying winked at Qiu Mubai playfully.
Qiu Mubai smiled, didn't make a sound, and thought: If I don't drink you down this time, I will spend a few thousand yuan tonight.
"I'm sorry, I'll go to the bathroom and I'll be right back."
Zhang Jingyi got up and stood up from her seat and picked up Su Ruixi's backpack casually.
As soon as she entered the bathroom, Zhang Jingyi immediately turned out the deck of pokers in Su Ruixi's bag, sent the order of the deck of cards to the WeChat group of the three, and then washed her hands casually, hurriedly returned to her place and sat down, and put the backpack on Su Ruixi's left hand side again.
"Ah, there's a bug."
Gu Xiaoying slapped her palm on her neck, and kept shaking the neckline of her T-shirt, so that the snow-white career line inside disappeared from time to time, Qiu Mubai couldn't help but glance at it a few times, and swallowed his saliva very unproductively.
Seeing that Su Ruixi had already completed the bag dropping work, Gu Xiaoying hurriedly let out a long breath: "I finally ran away." β
"Let's get started, then."
Su Ruixi said, and began to draw 9 cards from under the deck of poker to arrange them.
After seven or eight rounds, the bottle of XO has been drunk to the bottom. Su Ruixi and Gu Xiaoying symbolically lost once, and Zhang Jingyi simply didn't lose once because of the shallow amount of alcohol.
"Again, I'll ...... I don't believe it! Tonight...... I...... I can't win you...... You guys. β
Qiu Mubai squinted his eyes, shook his head, and after saying this, he fell on the table with a "poof" and fell asleep.
The public relations Sanjiao smiled and exchanged glances, then got up and stood up from their seats.
"Waiter, find him to settle the bill in a while, don't disturb him first, let him sleep for a while." Su Ruixi said, and secretly stuffed a hundred yuan into the waiter's hand.
The waiter understood, smiled and made an OK gesture to Su Ruixi.
