Chapter 383: Willing to Gamble and Lose
"You're overthinking." Xia Zhixue smiled, she picked up the dice casually, and the dice threw out a beautiful afterimage in her hand, and landed after half an hour, counting six, good luck.
Xia Chengdao looked at the boat a few steps ahead of him, picked up the dice and threw it on the table, looking heroic, but those who knew it could see that this was a layman.
Throwing dice, nine points of skill, one point of luck, come randomly, it is difficult for the king of heaven to save you back.
Xia Zhixue watched the dice spin with great interest, and stopped on the table with a crisp sound, and the red point was one, which was too dazzling to look at.
Xia Chengdao's face turned green, and his hands clenched fiercely.
"Drink." Xia Zhixue pointed to the wine glass on the table, and said in a provocative tone, "You old man can't afford to pay his debts, right?" β
The people around him followed suit.
Xia Chengdao used to rely on his background, and he did use a lot of improper means to win money.
A few people in the gambling house can endure it, and if they can't bear it, they will stay at home and not go out, in short, they don't want to mess with him, but who knows that a hard bone came out today, and Xu was sent to death.
A cadre of people has a ghost in their hearts, and they are half mixed with joy and sorrow.
"Drink it, I'm afraid you won't make it?" Xia Chengdao couldn't stand the provocation of others, picked up the wine glass with one hand, and saw the bottom in an instant.
With a glass of turbid wine in his stomach, Xia Chengdao could only feel as if his stomach was burning, a little painful, and a little spicy.
Round by round, Xia Zhixue's boat has always been a few steps ahead of Xia Chengdao, and Xia Chengdao can't catch up a few steps no matter how hard he catches up.
Xia Zhixue's luck is also good, after more than ten years, she has not been poured a sip of wine, but Xia Chengdao is unconscious.
Xia Zhixue looked at her boat and reached the end very safely, smiled knowingly, and stretched out her hand: "I am willing to lose the bet." β
Their game is so pressed, Xia Zhixue said that he could get a hundred taels of silver.
"Defeat a fart." Xia Chengdao turned his head and turned his face to deny people, "Do you know which one I belong to when you come out of this broken house?" β
Tut-tut, he began to show his identity again, like a peacock with the screen open, for fear that others would not know a little good about himself.
"Xiahou Mansion." Xia Zhixue should be refreshing, "Isn't it just a third rank of the Hou Mansion to come out, what kind of energy do you have?" β
"I don't know how serious." Xia Chengdao snorted coldly.
The shopkeeper saw that the momentum here was not right, and he came up with an old face, and smiled as much flattery as he could.
"The two of you will rest first, it hurts a lot to hold the mallet in these words." The shopkeeper laughed with him and wiped a cold sweat.
"Why don't I feel that way?" Xia Zhixue began to be arrogant, and looking at the appearance of the shopkeeper, he knew that he was looking down on people again.
"This son's skills are not as good as others, and he lost to me, according to the rules in your gambling house, let alone a few hundred taels of silver."
Xia Zhixue spoke slowly: "Or do you think that the shopkeeper has to protect this son when he sees that he is dressed generously, and he will put some of our ordinary people to death?" β
This is clearly said to the shopkeeper.
The number of onlookers increased little by little, and the shopkeeper couldn't get off the table when he stood still, and he didn't know what he was talking about.
"The heart of being a shopkeeper is empty, and he usually does this to our brothers, and he protects those nobles to death, and when he tells him about the obvious wrongdoings, he has changed the right thing."
There was a shirtless man who said very loudly, and the people around him laughed: "The shopkeeper has been exposed, and the gambling house will be difficult to do in the future!" β
The shopkeeper was in a dilemma, looked at Xia Chengdao with a look of help, and asked, "Young Master Xia, the silver is to be given according to the rules of the store." If you don't bring much today, you can make an IOU, and then let this girl pick it up. "Worry-free
Xia Chengdao did this thing behind Xia Huaiqing's back, and when he heard the words IOU, he jumped to his feet in a hurry.
"What kind of IOU, my eldest son of Xiahou Mansion, can't you afford this bit of silver?" Xia Chengdao sneered, "It's really rare for a girl to be a good husband and teach children at home, and she comes out to mix like this, and she likes to think about so little money." β
Xia Zhixue Lei couldn't move calmly: "How can I have a half-dime relationship with you, don't chirp so much that you want to change the topic, and the money should be given to me for a penny." β
A group of people stared at their actions, even if Xia Chengdao wanted to repay the debt, he couldn't rely on it, otherwise he wanted to make trouble in Xiahou Mansion.
Seeing that Xia Huaiqing has finally taken care of him in the past few days, he can't let this good impression go to waste.
Xia Chengdao slowly handed over a few crumpled silver tickets, all amounts, and they were all together, about one hundred taels.
Xia Zhixue smiled and put it in his pocket: "Xia Gongzi is an honest man, if you want to gamble next time, remember to take me one, I will be idle and panic if I have nothing to do in the house." β
The corners of Xia Chengdao's mouth twitched, how dare he provoke this girl again.
Xia Zhixue walked out of the gambling house in a good mood, and Ouyang Huaiyu followed behind her step by step, looking cautious.
"Have fun?" He asked in a low voice.
"Very happy." Xia Zhixue tasted it back and couldn't help but speak, "Didn't you see Xia Chengdao's expression of eating flies, and he was relieved of his hatred when he looked at it." β
Ouyang Huaiyu smiled lightly and was silent.
The two of them walked all the way to see the flowers, and saw a lot of lanterns in the north of the city, the shape and charm are very different, but they are from the hand of one person.
Xia Zhixue didn't know when she had two masks in her hands, one was a white rabbit and the other was a gray wolf, which was very interesting.
"Eh, wear one to see?" Xia Zhixue smiled so that her eyes were crooked, and her eyes were cut water, which had a unique charm.
"Okay, which one do you bring?" Ouyang Huaiyu agreed without thinking.
Xia Zhixue raised her left hand, and what she was holding was a white rabbit mask. Ouyang Huaiyu just wanted to take the gray wolf away from her, but the white rabbit mask was already on his face.
"This one suits you, weird cute." Xia Zhixue took a closer look.
Ouyang Huaiyu lifted one corner of the mask, revealing half of his face: "You will be skinned." β
Xia Zhixue stuck out her tongue and put on the gray wolf's.
Ouyang Huaiyu took the initiative to take her hand, the girl she liked was really smart.
The two walked side by side, and their height was a head apart.
Xia Zhixue wearing a gray wolf mask is always a little funny, not to mention Ouyang Huaiyu wearing a white rabbit mask, and there are constant strange eyes along the way.
Xia Zhixue was embarrassed by these eyes, and proposed: "Take off this mask first, it's so naΓ―ve." β
"I think it's good." Ouyang Huaiyu remained silent.
Xia Zhixue pursed her mouth and didn't say anything more, she always felt that she had entered a wolf's den, but Ouyang Huaiyu obviously had a harmless face.
At night, the sky is already very dark, and the lights in the north of the city have been extinguished, leaving a sense of tranquility after the prosperity has faded.
Xia Zhixue was already tired from walking for so long at night, she lay on Ouyang Huaiyu's back and slept deeply.
Ouyang Huaiyu was also tireless, carrying Xia Zhixue on his back all night, and when he returned to the mansion, he had a few bubbles on his feet, although they were long and small, they were very dense, and his feet hurt for a long time.
He squinted his eyes and lifted the mask on Xia Zhixue's face, and stopped tasting it, smiling endlessly.
