Chapter 82: Dice Cups and the Book of Gambling

But when she walked into the hall, Yue'er smelled a faint scent of soap, and said secretly in her heart: "Is Concubine Baili bathing in the main hall, and she is not afraid of the cold?" ”

The hall was dimly lit, and there was only a round skylight on one side of the entire hall.

Concubine Baili's expression was very calm.

"Sister, why did you come here to find me?"

"That's the case, Jing Guiyi invited me to Anhua Hall tomorrow to enjoy the plum blossoms, I want to ask you, did she invite you?"

Concubine Baili was a little surprised, rubbed her hands and said: "No, I don't know at all, I came here, except for the queen mother, I came here once, only you came today, Jing Guiyi invited you, did you agree?" ”

"I promised."

"Do you know what she's asking you for?"

"What else can there be, naturally it's to find an opportunity to humiliate and make fun of me!"

"That's natural, but it's not necessarily that simple, and maybe there are other conspiracies that we don't know, by the way, do you know what they play?"

"It's Xiaoxue tomorrow, my sister thought, they should start a gambling game, right?"

"yes, definitely."

Baili Concubine smiled coldly and said to Su Zi, who was standing aside, "Go, bring my dice cup." ”

Su Zizheng was shivering with cold, and when he heard this, he responded and left quickly.

Yue'er was stunned and asked, "Do you still have a dice cup here?" ”

"Yes, which concubine's palace doesn't have this thing, haven't you ever played with it?"

Yue'er was a little embarrassed, she really hadn't played before.

"They invite you to go for two purposes, one is to ridicule and ridicule, and the other is to make you lose money."

"Can I win?"

"Did you win?"

Yue'er shook her head.

"I was just afraid of losing everything, so I came to consult my sister."

Baili Concubine smiled: "Find me you are right, I will teach you, the dice are nothing more than the size, you must first know the reason, and then practice the technique and listening, the technique is to control the points, listening is to hear the landing point, these two skills, you will be one, basically invincible." ”

Yue'er was amazed: "How can I learn in such a short time?" ”

Baili Concubine smiled slyly and said: "Playing dice, the feel is very important, if you feel good, you can soon learn to roll three sixes or three units, three sixes are the largest, and three units are the smallest." ”

Yue'er sighed, at this time Su Zi had already brought the dice, and Concubine Baili waved her hand to let her retreat, and when only she and Yue'er were left in the hall, she grabbed the dice inside.

With a bang, Concubine Baili seemed to throw it away, and there were actually three sixes on the table, and Concubine Baili lost it three times, either three sixes, or three units, Yue'er was stunned.

"You try."

Baili Concubine handed the dice to Yue'er, Yue'er also lost three times, but did not lose three sixes once, Baili Concubine told her the skills, it turned out that the three dice seemed to be grasped at random in the palm of the hand, but every time after grabbing the hand, the position had to be adjusted, as long as it was held in a fixed position, the throwing strength was just right, and the probability of losing three sixes and three units would be much greater.

The order of the dice is very important, the opposite side of one is six, the opposite side of two is five, and so on, if you want to throw out three sixes, you should press one three five rows to grab vertically, and you need to row two or four six horizontally, but this is also different from person to person, some people have large hands, the position of the grasp is slightly different, during which the role of the little finger is very large, if you quietly adjust it in the palm, basically lose it on a quasi.

"This is a beginner's skill in playing dice, you try it first."

Yue'er grabbed the dice in her hand as she said, she adjusted it with her little finger, and after trying a few times according to the guidance of Baili Fei, she really threw out three sixes.

This time it was Bailifei's turn to be surprised, she didn't expect Yue'er to learn so quickly.

Yue'er used to practice flying knives in the Baihua class, practicing flying knives is to practice techniques, although the dice are different, but her fingers are flexible, the force control is measured, and with a little practice, she has mastered the skills.

"Okay, very good, I'll teach you a few more tricks, and you'll be a master in the future!"

Yue'er is very strange.

"Sister, where did you learn this?"

Concubine Baili took out a small package from her arms and opened it layer by layer, inside was a booklet, and she pushed it to Yue'er.

This booklet has two words written on it.

"When my sister first entered the palace, she always lost, and later a Mama Chu taught me a lot, and the key was to give me this book."

"Oh, that Mama Chu is a god?"

"Yes, she doesn't show her face as an old man, and she doesn't usually gamble, who knows that she is so powerful, and she only taught me one, and now I will pass on this "Gambling Sutra" to you, if you win those concubines at the right time, you can force them to say good things to you in front of the emperor!"

"Ah, thank you so much, sister."

Yue'er took the booklet and knew in her heart that Concubine Baili was trying to find a way to sleep for Xuanling, and she was still a little hesitant about this matter.

Next, Baili Concubine also taught Yue'er the tricks of listening to and shaking the dice, and Yue'er learned the method, tried a few times, and actually succeeded twice.

"This is not something that can be practiced in a day, you go back and read the book and practice slowly, tomorrow is the first time you go to the party of the concubines, if you can lose less, it is a victory, and it is better not to win the first time!"

"Oh, why can't you win?"

"If you win, no one will call you to play in the future, this kind of opportunity is very important, so the key is to lose less or only a little bit, and the most important thing for you to participate in their game is not to win or lose, but to hear some useful news."

"Oh, what's the news?"

"For example, Da Niao and Da Jing went to war, and Da Wei cleaned up Xichun and Tubo."

Yue'er nodded, secretly glad in her heart, if she didn't come to Kunxi Hall to find Concubine Baili today, she wouldn't know these routines at all.

"I heard that Lin Zhaoyi is the most powerful player in the palace now, you must pay attention."

"Yes."

"By the way, how much silver can you get from Baiyu Palace?"

Baili Concubine suddenly asked.

"I, I just got the palace points, plus the ones I saved before, a total of one hundred taels."

"As far as I know, when the concubines play together, they usually take one hundred taels per person first, and there are also two hundred, if you only have one hundred, I'm afraid it's not safe."

"So what should I do?"

Concubine Baili took out a silver ticket and handed it to Yue'er.

"I have fifty taels this month, and we add up to one hundred and fifty taels, if there is no concubine Niangniang to participate tomorrow, it should be enough."

This silver ticket was crumpled, the same as the one sent to Yue'er by the Department of Internal Affairs, but Yue'er still refused.

"How can I ask for my sister's money, besides, this is still your first month's palace share."

"We are sisters, what is mine is yours, and if my sister asks you to help in the future, you will help me like this, right?"

Yue'er was very grateful, and at the same time felt that she had to make up 200 taels to get insurance, but where could she get 50 taels? After thanking her repeatedly, she accepted the silver ticket of Concubine Baili.

It was noon when I returned to Baiyu Palace, and there was snow in the sky again, Yue'er told Lu Yao to send some charcoal to Concubine Baili, and it was not cold when the door was closed, and it was still not enough for Concubine Baili.

I can't dance today, Yue'er happened to be hiding in the house alone to practice dice and watch "The Book of Gambling".

After practicing for three or four hours, Yue'er has been able to win six or seven out of ten, she tried to control the points, to throw out one, two, three, or four, five or six, and the success rate is also six or seven, she is very satisfied, but she is also a little worried, in case it will be two hundred taels tomorrow, where is she going to get it?

In the evening, the imperial dining room brought dinner, and the eunuch who delivered the meal was Niu Tao.

Niu Tao put down his meal and was about to leave.

Yue'er stopped him and asked strangely, "Junior Officer Niu, why are you leaving in such a hurry?" ”

Niu Tao was a little embarrassed.

"This, this tonight, the brothers made an appointment to play two in the imperial dining room, and the villain wants to go as soon as he finishes his work."

"Tomorrow is the Snow Festival, can you gamble today?"

Niu Tao smiled embarrassedly and said: "It's almost the end of the year, the palace is not so strict, and everyone usually plays together, but they just play quietly." ”

"Oh, don't you care about your temple and the high class?"

"Niangniang, don't you know, when the errand is not busy, the head of the palace and the senior class will also come to play a few games."

"Oh, how many people are there when you're playing?"

"When there are more, there are dozens of people, when there are fewer than a dozen people, and sometimes the petty officials of other departments will come over and play with us."
