Chapter 7: The First Pot of Gold
went out, Xia and Autumn went straight to the gambling house.
She was not in a hurry to make a move, but mixed in the crowd to observe Zhuang He shaking the dice, quietly discarding the excited and noisy sound of the gambler, pricking up her ears to listen to the different sounds of the dice, and then guessing the points.
Yesterday's hard work was not in vain, although the accuracy of her guessing points needs to be improved, but ordinary gamblers buy sizes, and she is right to even guess a few rounds.
There are only three taels of all the belongings left, and Xia Qiu has no greed, so he only takes out one or two to bet big.
That's right, her ears can hear it clearly, Zhuang He is shaking big. However, she saw that there were many people who bought big and very few bought small ones in this game, but the gambling house would not do a loss-making business.
She quietly looked at Zhuang He's eyes, quite calm.
Could it be that you are tired?
Quietly stretched out his hand and took it back.
As soon as the hand was withdrawn, Xia Qiu heard a slight force suddenly slap from the bottom of the table, and one of the dice in the dice cylinder turned over.
Sure enough, it's out of the thousands.
Xia Qiu's eyes were quick, and he threw two taels of silver to bet small.
Zhuang He shouted: "Buy and leave, buy and leave." ”
"Big ...... Big...... Big ......"
"Little ...... Small...... Little ......"
The gamblers were red-eyed, grinding their fists and shouting excitedly, as if whoever shouted loudly would win.
After shouting through their throats, seeing Zhuang He opening the village, everyone held their breath again, so quiet that they could hear the sound of needles falling.
"Small!" The sound of capultation sounded.
"Ahh......h I said I wanted to buy a small one. ”
"Why do you want to open small?"
"Ahaha, it's really small, I won I won!"
Xia Qiu quietly looked at all living beings, but she sneered in her heart. Stupid humans, it's no wonder if you don't lose.
One loses one, two two becomes four two, Xia Qiu low-key pinched the silver in his hand, his heart is as stable as an old dog, but the surface seems to be stunned.
She always wins, though.
The means of the gambling house are endless, which one does not pick up the skin and comes out, they not only have Zhuang He, but also cheating masters are mixed in, and there are thugs patrolling on the second floor.
Once you find out that you are out of trouble, making trouble, or gambling and winning a lot of money, you will have different ways to deal with it, from injury to death.
On the contrary, those gamblers are tired of it, and they really want money and don't want to die.
Long-term business and long-term life, without finding a new way to make money, Xia and Autumn will not kill themselves.
She made three low-key bets, won a total of eight or two wins, and left without any nostalgia.
There are a total of seven gambling houses in Lin County, one of which is suspected that the woman is unlucky and does not allow her to enter, and she patronizes the rest. After figuring out the dealer's routine, Xia Qiu made a cautious move and left with three small wins.
Two of them are accustomed to being out of the box, and the dice are filled with mercury, but everything is the same, the gambling house always has to make money, and it is always wrong to buy less.
After a busy day, he earned a total of fifty-six taels.
Adding up, she was already satisfied.
After making money, Xia Qiu made a lot of money, and his mind was spent on Lu Tingxiu.
Facing the things on the table, Lu Tingxiu looked calm on the surface, but he kept roaring in his heart. Most of the snakes in this land were robbed or killed and set on fire.
He used this kind of ill-gotten wealth to buy high-quality plasters, health herbs, clothes, shoes and socks, he disdained to use them, and despised her!
"Sir, you can taste it." Xia Qiu picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and stuffed it into his mouth, "It's just freshly baked, and it melts in your mouth." ”
The dim sum was stuffed into the mouth, and the aroma of osmanthus entered the nose, and the tip of the tongue licked it obediently.
Well, it smells so good!
This can't be blamed on him, it's really a soap servant who doesn't have a bright brain, and he thinks that the magistrate is not a cannibal fireworks. He was hungry twice, and he couldn't pull his head to let the soap servant cook.
Stomach, gurgling uncontrollably.
Fortunately, Xia Qiu was busy sorting out the medicinal herbs, he took the opportunity to swallow the pastry in his mouth, and at the end he licked his mouth unsatisfied, "Cough! ”
What can hide from the eyes of the serpents?
Xia Qiu pretended not to know, casually put the whole box of osmanthus cake on the head of his bed, and said casually: "You eat, I'll make up for your stewed soup." ”
He was so hungry that hundreds of years of gluttony had been hooked out, and Lu Tingxiu didn't pretend anymore, he just picked it up and ate it, "Where did you get your money?" ”
"Bet."
"Ahem, cough, cough......" Lu Tingxiu choked and coughed non-stop.
"My lord, I'm fighting the outpost for you." Xia Qiu said confidently, "There are several gambling houses that use illegal means to make money, loot the people's fat and ointment, and when you are in power, you will serve them in one pot, which can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people." ”
Lu Tingxiu didn't believe it at all, "They all say that ten wins and nine losses, how did you win?" ”
"Hmph......" Xia Qiu took out the dice from his pocket and told him the truth about winning the money without reservation, and said unashamedly at the end: "Who earns is not earned, what I took from them is just a drop in the bucket." ”
"Are you really hearing like an ordinary person?" She has too many skills, Lu Tingxiu didn't believe it at all, thinking she was talking nonsense.
Superficial human beings!
"What's so hard about that?" Xia Qiu snorted, "Don't talk about listening to the dice, I can even hear the sound of you peeing in the toilet, adult." ”
Lu Tingxiu's face sank. Cultivation, cultivation!
"What about you, first hurry and then slow, and like to shake twice before lifting your pants when you're done......"
Someone couldn't control it anymore, and the osmanthus cake in his hand smashed over, "Get out!" ”
I was so angry that I was trembling all over.
Xia Qiu was not angry, and left with a table full of things.
likes that he is angry but helpless to take her, such a Lord Lu is much more down-to-earth.
There is a truth that is expensive, and after applying the plaster overnight, the back injury is much better.
It is also beneficial to be sick and bedridden, and many officials will come to visit, including Xu Dian Shi Xu Mingming.
When Xia Qiu went out, he met Xu Dianshi. After saluting, seeing that no one was around, he reminded in a low-key manner: "Congratulations to Xu Dianshi, keep the clouds open and see the moon." ”
Xu Dianshi is in his early thirties, burly and full of scum, and his crumpled official uniform has not been washed for a few days, exuding a dirty smell of alcohol.
He was as cold as ice, squinted at Xia Qiu, and stepped into the moon gate with his legs raised. Hmph, play this game with him, this is all leftover from the former magistrate, what is the result?
His neglect, Xia Qiu didn't take it to heart, "He is hand-picked by the emperor, after the Houmen of the capital, you should seize the opportunity, there is no store in this village." ”
Xu Dianshi was stunned, paused slightly, and continued to move forward.
Summer and autumn are nonsense, but not nonsense. Those who wear clothes and accessories, talk about temperament, can provide new science and technology scholars, and are keen on house fighting, must be the powerful family.
She guessed that it should be eight or nine and ten.
After visiting the gambling house, there are sixty taels more in my hand, plus the rest of yesterday has exceeded one hundred taels. She kept some loose silver, and put the rest into the bank.
Seeing that the time was okay, she stepped on the ground in advance and wanted to buy a yard, which didn't need to be too particular, as long as it was secluded and cheap, and the yard should be big enough.
The southern city is remote enough, and the walls are high and steep, so it is not easy for puppet corpses to climb up. It's a pity that she is not familiar with the place and can't find a way, so she doesn't know which one is willing to sell.
However, there are many soap servants and miscellaneous servants in the county government, and they are very familiar with Lin County. If the prefectural magistrate wants to buy a house, they should actively inquire and help, right?
So, she bought a few pounds of peanuts and snacks and took them to the soap class.
It just so happened that there was not much official business in the soap class, and many soap servants were happy to be idle and chatting together. The topic is that the new magistrate has a special taste, and he fought the fat slave overnight.
"I'm telling you, how hard do two people have to fight to collapse that thick bed...... Haha......"
"With that fat man's weight and rank, our poor adult must have been squeezed dry."
"How can he keep his mouth shut?"
It is said that women gossip, but they don't know that men are more than cheap.
Xia Qiu didn't go to his heart at all, but poked his head into his head and said with a smile: "What are you talking about, it's so lively." ”
In an instant, there was silence in the class room, and the expressions on everyone's faces were wonderful. When they were caught, they wanted to smack themselves a few times. Although the new officials have no power when they take office, it is still a matter of minutes to deal with these lowly miscellaneous servants.
Thousands of shouldn't, never should, cheap mouth!
"My lord has been unwell for the past few days, but I am very worried about you, let me send you something to eat." Xia Qiu walked in generously and put the things in his hand on the table, "Come, you all taste it." ”
"Thank you...... Thank you, Lord Lu. Liu Tong was the first to come to his senses, and immediately patted his ass: "Lord Lu is really good, he still remembers us when he is sick." If you have something to say, just do it, and we will follow the message. ”
The rest of the people, followed suit, and the sycophants "snapped" sound.
Xia Qiu didn't poke people's faces, and smiled and distributed peanuts and other snacks to everyone.
Knowing that the county magistrate wanted to buy a house, the soap servants were eight immortals who crossed the sea to show their magical powers, in addition to patting their chests to inquire, someone really said that there was a house to sell in Nancheng.
"Then I'll thank you all for your lordship, and I'll invite everyone to eat and drink when the time comes."
"Miss Xia, please rest assured, this matter is on our brother." Just now, he was still a dead fat man, and his mouth was like honey.
The trapping room is next door, and the official office of the canonical history is located in it, and the front foot comes out of the soap room in summer and autumn, and the back foot slips through.
The catcher is a serious officer of the county government, and he is several levels higher than the soap servant in terms of ability and knowledge, and he is good at observing words and feelings, and his mouth is relatively tight.
After Xia Qiu greeted the trappers, he went directly into the inner courtyard, Xu Mingliang was drinking happily in the house, and there were already two empty wine bottles on the table.
