(22) Ten gambles and nine cheats
Zhang Qingting slowly said his plan for a night's hard work, "It's okay for me to set up the ring, but if I don't control it, it won't arouse people's interest, which is like a rare thing, the more rare the opportunity, the more it can attract people to invest." ”
Xue Zi'an's eyes lit up when he heard it, "Go on!" ”
"I only play three games a day, and if I want to serve the table, I have to pay you ten taels of silver first, and you will earn ninety taels for nothing every day. After the opening, each person takes another ten taels of silver as a bet. The rule is still the same rule I had last time, and one more one more is allowed, only allowed to touch yourself. If anyone wins a card before me, the gambling house will pay a hundred taels. If I am nonsense, of course I will only win thirty taels from them. ”
Zhang Qingting smiled slyly, "I don't dare to ask for Xue Sanye's salary, it's just that if I win enough two hundred taels by luck, you have to let me go." ”
Xue Zi'an smiled and sighed, "According to your skills, girl, within three days, you will definitely win enough silver and leave, this is absolutely not good!" ”
"I think, Xue Sanye doesn't mean that he really wants me to fight in the ring, right?" Zhang Qingting said his guess, last time I looked here, there were not many people who played horse hanging, he must want to take this opportunity to let more people become obsessed with horse hanging, and give birth to one more way to make money, "As long as everyone's interest is hooked, what does it matter if I fight more or less?" ”
Xue Zi'an was really impressed by Zhang Qingting, "Who is the girl sacred?" With such a thoughtful mind, you really don't have a crush on horse cranes at all? It's a lot faster than you can do anything! ”
Zhang Qingting smiled slightly, "If you really talk about gambling, Xue Sanye, you must be a hundred times better than a little woman." In front of you, the true Buddha, I will not tell lies. As the saying goes, the only one who loses nine out of ten bets is the one who makes the bank. Occasionally, a small gamble is not harmful, but a real big gamble is the root cause of the loss of the body. ”
"The girl is very wise and sees very clearly." Xue Zi was amazed and said no more, "Then a month, the girl will play in our gambling house for a month!" ”
Zhang Qingting shook his head and continued to bargain, "Xue Sanye don't want to embarrass the slave family, after all, the little woman is the daughter of the boudoir, if she is to repay her father's debts, it is reasonable to play a few horse hangings, but if you indulge in this, your reputation will be damaged." ”
Xue Zi'an looked at her with more respect, "That's fifteen days, but it can't be less." ”
"In just three days, I can definitely earn more for you than you expected." Zhang Qingting turned his head to Zhang Jinbao and said, "You go out first!" ”
Xue Zi'an knew that it was inconvenient for her to say something in front of everyone, and she also withdrew the people around her.
After closing the door, Zhang Qingting slowly showed his last hole card, "In three days and nine rounds, you can use this to set up another handicap to bet on horses, and I will definitely lose the last game!" The implication is self-evident, "What's more, you can also let the winner continue to fight in the ring, wouldn't it be even more fun!" ”
Xue Zi'an exclaimed, "Okay! Just girl! I won't take the two hundred taels of silver from you. Take as much as you can win, as long as you play these nine cards for me with your heart! ”
"Thank you Third Master Xue for making it perfect!" The matter was negotiated, and Zhang Qingting retired with a thousand thanks.
On the surface, it seems that this Xue Sanye is very generous, but after careful calculation, he can only win eight games at most and earn two hundred and forty taels of silver, and the lottery head of this gambling house is two hundred and seventy taels!
As for Zhang Facai's loss of the two hundred taels, didn't he take it from the gambling house with his left hand, and sent it back to the gambling house with his right hand? It's as if she's still selling her a big personal face! Cut! She Miss Zhang is not a big-chested person, and the stakes are very clear. But this kind of person who dares to do gambling house business, the background must not be simple, she is now a common person, and she can't be offended. It's good that people are willing to write off this account for her, but if she refuses, she can only eat Coptis dumbly, thinking that she is unlucky.
Therefore, there are some words that are good to know, but it is inconvenient to break them, let alone break them.
On the way back, Zhang Jinbao asked stupidly, "Sister, what did you say in the room in the end?" ”
Zhang Qingting glanced at him, "You shouldn't know what you should know, you don't inquire!" ”
At that time, I called him out, firstly, I was afraid that he would do something less and leak the secret, and in addition, in Miss Zhang's heart, there was another plan.
Can't say. The Buddha said, don't say.
In the next two days, Zhang Qingting had a peaceful life in the inn on the surface.
Although the six members of the Zhang family can eat, they are not picky eaters, they are good to feed, Zhang Qingting is not harsh on them, they send steamed buns and side dishes every morning and evening, and there is a hot meal of shredded meat noodles at noon, which is not a bad treatment for them.
The six members of the Zhang family continued to eat and drink with peace of mind, and even Zhang Facai settled down. I just ate garlic, I still know that it is spicy, and I honestly stay at home and dare not go anywhere.
But is his gambling thief really dead from now on?
Zhang Qingting thought it might not be.
Miss Zhang has nothing to do, chatting with the guys with great interest, chatting about the customs and customs here, and the traffic is strange. The six members of the Zhang family were puzzled and listened to it boringly. After listening to it for a while, they dispersed, and naturally they didn't know what they said later.
The inside of the inn was quite calm, but outside the inn, it was a commotion.
The Silver Hook Gambling House set up the ring, and the news that Miss Zhang was about to climb the horse and hang it was spread in ten miles and eight towns, and the streets knew it.
However, that Xue Sanye is also righteous, and he did not forget to add a sentence in the words that Zhang Dragonfly was willing to show up and gamble to pay off his father's debts, which made people curious and sympathetic.
But can this eldest daughter of the Zhang family really be so lucky and win two hundred taels of silver? That girl has a spirit on her head, can she be so spiritual?
The big guy has different opinions, and there is no consensus.
But one thing is certain, that is, everyone's curiosity has been fully mobilized, and some people who don't understand horse cranes have hurried to learn what kind of game horse cranes are, looking forward to having such good luck with the daughters of the Zhang family.
The protagonist has not yet appeared on the stage, and the curtain has already begun on this play, not to mention anything else, the number of people who come to the gambling house to play horse hangings has increased several times. I was glad that the shopkeeper hurriedly added a few more rooms, and the crackling sound of the horse crane was endless.
At the same time, the Zhao family, who had a marriage contract with Zhang Dragonfly, also launched an unprecedented "defection" movement.
It was the Zhao Wang clan who was down, and it was the boss of the Zhao family who was supported.
Even Han Zhao, who has been afraid of his wife for decades, stumbled and said, how can such a woman who shows her head and goes out to gamble be worthy of their eldest son with good conduct?
Zhao Wang knew that this was the instigation of Xiucai's son in secret. But can she back down? Of course not!
She had to keep her eyes open and see the situation.
If the daughter of the Zhang family really loses a mess, then needless to say, this family affair is considered yellow, and then choose another good daughter-in-law for her son. But if the Zhang family's daughter wins, she will earn thirty taels in this game! My God, I can't find a daughter-in-law who can lay golden eggs like this with a lantern!
As for his son's intentions, Zhao Wangshi felt that it was just a momentary willfulness when he was young, and when he really became a parent and had a baby, how could he still take care of Qingqing and me when he was young?
Therefore, Zhao Wang's family was not in a hurry, and while remaining silent, he secretly ordered a sedan chair and a red wedding dress with someone, and fully prepared for both. Just wait for the final result of this battle.
The gambling house acted very neatly, and after two days of preparation, under the watchful eyes of everyone, this scene was finally about to start.
