"Guest officer, you really asked the right person...... shopkeeper smiled, "Come and see......" beckoned Mu Wanqiu to come to the window, shopkeeper pointed outside, "Get out of the alley in front, turn right and follow the road to the south to connect two forks, which is the most prosperous gambling street in Pingcheng, the street entrance is full of incense shops, you can pick ...... when you go" Yu Guang glanced at the burden on the bed, "The guest officer has spices to sell?" And he said, "...... The small ones can help you and ensure that you sell at a good price. ”

"No......" Mu Wanqiu shook her head.

is already nameless, she doesn't want the shopkeeper to peel off another layer of skin.

The shopkeeper smiled wryly, "The guest officer is fine, the little one will go first, you can shout at the door if you have something." Mu Wanqiu nodded and said hello, almost to the door, remembering something, the shopkeeper turned his head again, "Guest officer, it's really time for you to come, today the spirit boy gambling god is coming to Pingcheng......"

"Spirit Child Gambling God?" Mu Wanqiu was stunned, "...... Brother Xiao'er said that it was cold steel and cold four less? ”

“…… Yes, yes, yes, it's him," the shopkeeper nodded again and again, "This person is born with magic skills, he got involved in the casino at the age of seven, and he must win every bet, and now he is only fifteen years old, and he has become a guest of the Pingcheng Zeng family, I heard that in order to see the magic skills, even the long-lived lord has called him into the palace...... "sighed, "Lingtong gambling god, the Great Zhou Hundred Years will come out......" The shopkeeper muttered and opened the door, "He lives in the game shop, I heard that the child has to open eighteen games in a row, you must not miss it......"

“…… Tomorrow? Mu Wanqiu's heart moved, and she turned around suddenly, "What time is Ming'er in the middle school?" ”

"You are really confused, Ming'er is the seventeenth day of the twentieth year of the Southern Emperor." Shaking his head and leaving the house, the shopkeeper closed the door with his backhand, muttering, "...... looks quite handsome, why do you dress so tacky? ”

Hearing the muttering of the shopkeeper, she took a picture in front of the bronze mirror, Mu Wanqiu felt that her cheeks were slightly hot, and suddenly, she took a few steps to the bed, opened her burden and counted the copper plates seriously......

A total of five hundred and sixty Wen, after counting the money, Mu Wanqiu shook her head in frustration, this money is not even enough to eat, let alone buy clothes.

A little decent clothes on the street cost at least six or seven hundred yuan.

Plugging the door, Mu Wanqiu found a pair of scissors, took off the clothes on her body, she wanted to remove the flowers embroidered by Ma Yong's daughter-in-law, but the scissors touched the broken flowers, and she hesitated.

This is always an aunt's heart, and it is better not to wear it and keep it as a thought!

After thinking about it for a while, Mu Wanqiu got dressed again, went out to ask for a needle and thread, picked up the clothes and pants she had just changed, and sat on the bed and sewed them awkwardly.

……

"Bean curd...... Bean curd...... Ma Ji bean curd, smooth and refreshing! ”

"Roast duck...... The Li family's roast duck! Crispy and charred! ”

"Zhao Fatzi bacon flatbread, if you don't eat it, you haven't been to Pingcheng!"

"Xu Mazi Stinky Tofu - the world's best ......"

"Word Measurement...... Hang ...... Ten patterns of money hanging, five hundred years of knowledge, eight hundred years of ......"

……

The sun is setting in the west, the residual heat has not completely dissipated, the sound of selling one after another has already made the gambling street noisy boiling gruel lively, people who have done a day's work, began to gather in twos and threes to the gambling street, ready to eat, find a gambling house to try their luck, live and live......

A dark and thin little girl came out of Xu Ji Xiangfang on the street, walked all the way here, looked east and west, and was attracted by the tempting aroma in the air to the Li family's roast duck.

"Half a fifty-striped penny, crispy and charred ......" Xiao Er, who was full of sweat, saw it, picked up an oily roast duck and handed it over, "How is it?" Little girl, let's just taste...... You're still thinking about ...... next time."

Mu Wanqiu swallowed her saliva violently, touched her pocket, shook her head resolutely, and walked forward with her feet raised.

"Hey...... I met a poor ghost again......" Xiao Er looked at Mu Wanqiu's back and muttered.

The second time, she was ridiculed by Xiao Er on the street, Mu Wanqiu stubbornly straightened her back, and touched the only one or two pieces of silver in her pocket, she couldn't afford to sell it, she was going to go to the game shop to make the capital, and when she came out of the game shop later, she had to buy all his roast duck, let him see who the poor ghost was, Mu Wanqiu thought hatefully......

Looking at the signboard above her head all the way, Mu Wanqiu quickly found the game shop, looked at the two dart-shaped men standing at the door, raised her feet and hesitated.

Standing there for a long time, she resolutely straightened her back and slowly walked up the dazzling white marble steps in the setting sun.

"Hey...... Ay...... Hey......" The doorman stopped her at the door, looking up and down at the little girl whose clothes were stacked with patches and were fairly clean, "...... Little girl, you went to the wrong door, you want to buy rouge gouache, where do you go......" The doorman pointed to the flower street in the distance, "This is the gambling house, not the place where you came......"

"How?" Mu Wanqiu asked strangely, "...... Are you closed here? ”

The doorman looked back at the noisy and lively casino, a little funny, he is the largest casino in Pingcheng, it is opened by the second young master of the Zeng family, one of the big Thursday families, that is, the gambling houses in Pingcheng are all Huangpu, and his gambling house will not be closed!

It's just that the casino is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, rich gambling, no money small gambling, his gambling house is all rich people, there is no one hundred and eighty taels in his hand, and ordinary people dare not come here to measure.

Since it opened, he has never entered this gambling house to ask for a meal!

“…… opened, and today is still the famous spirit child gambling god Leng Siye in Da Zhou, and it is full of people. The doorman smiled, "I mean, you can't get into ......."

"I have silver......" Hearing that it was really Leng Gang who was personally in charge, Mu Wanqiu breathed a sigh of relief, took out the only one or two pieces of silver she had, and shook it in front of the door official.

The doorman was almost angry, and glanced at Mu Wanqiu, who was like a flower, and his tone was already a little impatient, "Little girl, I'm also good for you, you look inside, there are some old men gambling, you ...... You ......"

Glancing at her slender body, the doorman shook his head and swallowed back.

Look at your dress, Mu Wanqiu sweats.

She also knows that there are few women in and out of the casino, and occasionally they come, and most of them are prostitutes brought by Kuo Shao, and when she came to the gambling house today, she also wanted to buy a set of men's clothes to change, at least she would not be blocked at the door like now, let alone so dazzling.

Unfortunately, she really can't afford it.

Originally, I thought that her piece of musk could be sold for a good price, but unfortunately, because of her ragged clothes, the people in the incense shop also bullied her for being an orphan girl on the street, and she was only willing to give a few hundred texts, and finally the inn's shop was introduced, so she exchanged a tael of silver in Xu Ji Xiangfang, and the price was already the highest in the incense shop.

knew that the musk was worth a hundred taels, but unfortunately, because she had no power and was in a hurry to use money, she had to resign herself to a tael of silver.

This is the rule of this world, the law of the jungle!

Remembering that Ma Zhu'er once said that he and his father were deceived by the people who collected prey in the bazaar, Mu Wanqiu smiled bitterly, and thought that she had experienced two lives and would definitely avoid it, but unfortunately, because of poverty, she was still deceived and ridiculed by the street boys.

Touching the Wei Clan's perfumery technique in her arms with her fingertips, Mu Wanqiu sighed secretly, "...... Even if I have the cheats in hand, I can't do it without money! The thought flashed, and she gritted her teeth fiercely.

In any case, she must go into this gambling house today to gamble.

It's just over, and it's a little late......
