Chapter 24: The Shop Dispute (2)
"The Luo family has a big business, except for the rules that the eldest son inherits the lintel, and the other aspects are who has the ability and who has the lion. And the way to fight for land is the game that the Luo family has passed down from generation to generation. Regardless of who is in power now, if you lose the game, your own family business will change hands. Legend has it that when the grandfather was in his generation, this branch did not have the family business it has today, and it all relied on the grandfather's game to earn its current glory...... "Lu Yuan whispered to me about the Luo family's game, and talked about the process of the grandfather's start.
When I heard this, I couldn't help but look at the few people standing opposite each other in front of me, and my heart was a little itchy.
It has been three days since the second lady's sentence "open a gambling game", and in the past three days, the Luo family has been lively, and the uncles who have only one side of the fate have rushed to hear the news and are ready to move.
The subordinates holding the account book and abacus put their things on the table, and the elder of the prison clan lit three incense sticks and led everyone present to bow three times to the tablets of the ancestors and ancestors. Then he cleaned his hands, took over the roster, and carefully checked the people who participated in the gambling game.
The people involved in the gambling game are not only the eldest young master and the second young master, but also a few young masters. This is fine, as long as there is a gambling book. If it weren't for the fact that the news couldn't reach other people's homes outside, there would only be more people at this time.
"In the game, winning or losing is determined. You are all the leaders of the Luo family, and since you sit here, you agree with the rules of the gambling game handed down by your ancestors. Everyone's gambling books are placed here, whoever wins will take it, if anyone repents or cheats, they will be removed from the clan, and they will never set foot in the Luo family's territory! The stern eyes of the elder of the Luo family swept over everyone on the field and said solemnly.
Those he had seen nodded their heads to accept the rules.
I weighed the money I had gotten from the eldest young master before, and then looked at the gambling books that everyone on the field had taken out, and it was too bad.
This gambling game is abacus, my forte. On the day of playing chess, I heard the eldest young master comment, "The trapped Baizi seems to have no way out, but as long as he takes the next step, winning or losing can be reversed." ”
In the Luo family, I am the trapped white son, restrained everywhere and cornered. This gambling game is an opportunity, if you can win, you can spread your career and grasp a little capital.
Unfortunately, this gamble is not the next step I can take, the bet is not enough, and I don't even have a chance to take a step.
I couldn't help but sigh and put my attention back on the gambling crowd.
The game starts with the moment the incense burns out, and whoever calculates the fastest and most accurately is the winner. As the incense gradually burned, many people present began to get nervous.
is also the beginning of the gambling game, the second lady has a solemn face, and the second young master is even more sweaty. On the other hand, the eldest young master sat upright, looking as usual, as if he was holding the victory. I can't help but worry about the second young master, whether he can defeat these people and take back the second lady's shop.
"If you're worried about him, go over and stand up for him."
I thought that the eldest young master was watching no one, but I didn't know that my every move was being watched by him.
The words were spoken freely and plainly, but I heard the meaning of warning. I'm not an ordinary subordinate in his yard, and I can't cheer for the second young master like Lu Yuan and the like. If it passes, tomorrow there will be gossip about husband and wife discord and brothers falling apart.
And I felt in my heart that if even I went to the second young master's side, it would be too pitiful for the eldest young master to have no one to take care of him.
handed over a silk handkerchief, "I wish the eldest young master a victory." ”
When you use it, you have to wipe off the sweat.
"It's a big deal."
Listening to his ridicule and looking at his disdainful gaze, the silk handkerchief in his hand was taken by the other party, and he carefully wiped every part of his hand, and he did not regret it. He was happy, and my life was better.
After wiping his hands, the eldest young master handed over the silk handkerchief and a small abacus, and said indifferently: "A small abacus, if you want it, why do you want to covet others." ”
There was a sound of gasping in twos and threes.
I was stunned for a moment and came back to my senses, holding the abacus in my arms, flattered.
I've seen this little abacus, it's the personal thing of the eldest young master. At this moment, he misunderstood my eyes, and everyone was surprised to reward me with it.
I was going to put it away, but I remembered the last time he gave me the Yuexia Jiao Seed that was taken back after that, and I couldn't help but take it in my hand and touch it again.
There was the sound of other people's laughter in his ears, and the eldest young master was so fierce that he was silent. I pretended not to see his warning, and I thought to myself. I don't know how many days this abacus can stay in his hands, so he can touch it more before he takes it back, and rub his talents!
A gong sounded, the incense burned out, and everyone began to make calculations at the same time. The eldest young master put his gaze back on the account book, and his hands were quickly calculating, not flustered.
In the sound of the abacus, I couldn't help but look at the account book under the eldest young master, and my hand moved unobediently. Xu is really talented, and the abacus is particularly easy to fight.
While immersed in the abacus, I can't help but regret that this good thing has to be returned in the end.
