This obviously problematic move aroused Chu Nian's curiosity, and when Ah Hua came over, he was already facing the sky, and he was greeting him with joy, but Chu Nian's gaze only fell fixedly on the man's body.

"Third master, concubine ......"

Chu Nian raised his hand to stop Ah Hua from continuing, so as not to startle the snake, Ah Hua also obediently stopped, followed Chu Nian's gaze, and looked at it with a puzzled expression.

I saw Chu Nian take a few steps forward, leaning behind the man without a trace, lowering his head, as if he was watching this gambling game.

Opposite the man was a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears who looked very broad, and at this moment his eyes were bloodshot, pushing all the money under his hand onto the table.

"This time, the master is still pressing, I don't believe it, can you always win?"

The corners of the thin man's mouth almost reached the root of his ears, and his eyes greedily stayed on the pile of silver taels for a while, and then he seemed to move to the middle-aged man with fat head and big ears with difficulty, and said with a smile: "What, this time it's still big?" Then I can only press small, Xiao Er, let's go. ”

There is something wrong with his impatient appearance, and others have long been talking about it, but the fat-headed and big-eared man doesn't seem to be able to see anything, and all his thoughts are in the sieve cup that Xiao Er pressed under his hand.

Ah Hua saw Chu Nian staring at the man for a long time, and then said in Chu Nian's ear: "Third master, this person is a veteran in our gambling house, if you touch him, anyone will lose?" ”

Chu Nian was a little surprised by the side eyes, and in a blink of an eye, he faced a pure face, and the woman in front of him looked at her at the age of sixteen, wearing a simple pink dress, her hair was tied back at will, and her face was powdered, so she couldn't see how much experience she had, but that pair of willow eyebrows and almond eyes, and a small nose and cherry mouth were extraordinarily attractive, which made people more and more happy the more they looked at it.

"You ......"

Seeing this unfamiliar face, Chu Nian was dazed for a moment, then saw the woman hiding her face and smiling for a while, "Third master, you don't recognize this, the concubine is Ah Hua." ”

Chu Nian condensed and recognized it for a while before he vaguely recognized a few traces of Fang Cai's heavy makeup and glamorous appearance from the contours of her face, but at the moment, the woman who pretended to be old and affectionate was clearly two years younger than her. Chu Nian coughed lightly.

"You're still so good-looking."

Ah Hua seemed to be smiling even happier, but at this stall, there was a pig-like wail, "Why is it small!" ”

Chu Nian's attention was diverted by Ah Hua and returned to the gambling game again, at this moment, the middle-aged man with fat head and big ears stood up in disbelief, leaned forward, and almost stuck to the entire tabletop, while the thin man sitting opposite him was still calm, and he didn't even care about the attitude of the middle-aged man, and reached out to scoop up all the silver taels in front of the middle-aged man.

"Hehe, I'll just say, it's all mine, you have to bet with me, it's no wonder to me."

The middle-aged man almost collapsed, "That's, that's the money I used to buy the goods...... You give me back the money! Give me back the money! ”

As he spoke, the middle-aged man's bloated figure rushed over, squeezing over dozens of onlookers before rushing to the thin man, at this moment the thin man was about to leave with the money in his arms, but he was bumped into by the middle-aged man, and seeing that he was about to hit Chu Nian and Ah Hua's bodies, Chu Nian quietly took Ah Hua's hand and took a step back, only to survive.

The two of them fell to the ground as soon as they went up, raising a cloud of dust, and such a big movement quickly attracted the sturdy men outside, and finally pulled the two apart.

The middle-aged man was still unconvinced and wanted to step forward, but he was tightly imprisoned by two sturdy men, looking at the thin man with fierce eyes.

The thin man protected the silver in his arms to death, and when he saw a few big men, he seemed to see a savior, "You can quickly see, this person lost the money to me and wanted to repay the debt, where is there such a rule?" ”

A big man who looked like a leader glanced at the thin man, and then turned his eyes to look at the middle-aged man who was imprisoned, "Brother, since you came out to gamble, you should be prepared to lose your old book, and at this moment, I'm afraid it's not so easy, right?" ”

The movement of this party had already shocked the people in the whole room to come over to join in the fun, Tao Jinyan calmly squeezed over from the crowd, the folding fan in his hand shook gently and still graceful, he looked at the farce in front of him, and played with taste: "What's the matter, old Qian?" ”

Chu Nian glanced at him sideways, but didn't answer his words, "Why did you come here, and the principal was earned?" ”

Tao Jinyan raised his eyes, his gaze swept over a young man who was full of frustration, and slightly hooked the corners of his lips, "That's natural, you don't want to see who I am." ”

Hearing this, Chu Nian glanced at him up and down with side eyes, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't speak, this stall, the shopkeeper walked out of it, followed by the ragged Ah Zhu, Ah Zhu was full of spring at the moment, her hair was in a bun, and the corners of her clothes were scattered to reveal half of her fragrant shoulders, and when she saw Ah Hua on Chu Nian's side, she laughed contemptuously, for fear that others would not know what she and the shopkeeper had just done.

Tao Jinyan smiled, "This is a good method, but this shopkeeper is not a picky eater." ”

Chu Nian glanced at Ah Hua sideways, and at this moment, Ah Hua was full of disdain, looking at Ah Zhu's appearance, he suddenly rolled his eyes angrily.

"I will use this trick habitually, but this trick will also work for the shopkeeper."

At this stall, the shopkeeper was also full of spring breeze, and even straightened up his round belly, he squeezed through the crowd, and looked at the few people in front of him with his head held high, "What's the matter?" ”

The thin man repeated the words angrily, and when the words fell, the shopkeeper suddenly raised his eyebrows, and looked at the middle-aged man who was imprisoned with annoyance, and the familiar appearance seemed to have been repeated more than a hundred times.

"Brother, we are all going out to do business, this is a bad debt, who will dare to play with you in the future? Besides, if you repay your debts elsewhere, you will repay your debts in my gambling house, and let others listen to it in the future, will I still be able to do the business of this gambling house? ”

The middle-aged man became more and more angry, he struggled to regain his freedom from under the hands of the two big men, but he was punched, and suddenly a big bag swollen on his face, so he finally understood that it was useless for him to resist, so he roared towards the shopkeeper, "I've heard people say, this kid likes to be out of the old man, I just didn't expect this kid to be so leaky, I was going to grab some flaws from under his hands, so that you can simply drive this person back!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the shopkeeper seemed to think for a while, and then he vaguely argued that the person in front of him was actually a frequent visitor to his gambling house, and then he smiled and said: "Oh, who else should I be, there are too many people in and out of my gambling house every day, I can't remember, you are actually the shopkeeper Liu?" However, Shopkeeper Liu, this is empty talk, the other party is also a customer of our gambling house, you can't rely on yourself to take care of my business often, just want to drive away our other guests, right? ”

Chu Nian frowned, and Tao explained intimately: "That kid is Lao Qian, but the middle-aged man can't catch the evidence of his Qian, but it's because he didn't have Lao Qian at all." ”

Hearing Tao Jinyan say a tongue twister, Chu Nian looked at him with inquiring eyes: "You can't have something to say?" ”

Tao Jinyan smiled, a pair of peach blossom eyes bent into two crescents, "I'm afraid this kid has a deal with the shopkeeper, the dice are fine, but the person who shakes the dice has a problem, which kid presses, the dice are shaken out, it must be which, like this, as long as he wins the money, and then share some ...... with the shopkeeper."

Chu Nian frowned, "Then this gambling house can't be opened?" ”

"Look at what you said, how could he kill the informant? If you want to slaughter the shopkeeper Liu, it looks like he has money, but in fact the money is not enough for him to squander a few times, such a person comes to the gambling house less often, and the shopkeeper can't make much money from him, but if that kid wins from him, then it's another story. ”

Chu Nian suddenly realized, at this stall, Ah Hua on the side also came over, "That's indeed the case, the concubine has seen this person drinking with the shopkeeper several times, and when she came to the front hall after leaving the backyard, the two pretended not to know each other." ”

At this point, Ah Zhu seemed to think of something, glanced at Ah Hua with a wicked smile, and immediately said something in the ear of the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper's face was suddenly covered with clouds.

Chu Nian had an ominous premonition in his heart, and before he could open his mouth to say anything to Tao, he saw the shopkeeper pat the shoulder of the big man who was grabbing the middle-aged man, and the big man let go of the middle-aged man.

A kind smile like a spring breeze suddenly rose on the shopkeeper's face, and he reached out to personally help the middle-aged man lying on the ground up, "In this way, Shopkeeper Liu, you tell me who spread this rumor to you, and I will find a way to help you get the money back." ”

Although this sentence "ask for the money back" sounds like a loss of face, it is also a great temptation for the shopkeeper Liu, he pondered for a while, turned his eyes to look at Ah Zhu in the crowd, and his eyes glared and stared.

"It's her, she told me last time I asked her to accompany me, and said that she couldn't get used to that kid, and told me to be so angry, so I came."

The shopkeeper frowned, turned his head to look at Ah Zhu, this stall, Ah Zhu said with a blank face: "How is it possible, Shopkeeper Liu, you must not spew blood, the two of us have seen a few times in the main hall outside at most, and there is a familiar, don't you recognize the wrong person?" ”

Shopkeeper Liu opened his mouth just now, and saw Ah Zhu showing a look of sudden realization, "Oh, aren't you talking about Ah Hua?" The concubine remembers that you entered the back hall at most once, and that time it was Ah Hua who accompanied you, right? The concubine looked at the others and no one had accompanied you, but it was understandable, after all, Ah Hua likes to imitate my makeup, and it is understandable that you can admit your mistake. ”

As she spoke, she looked sideways at the shopkeeper, and said half-coquettishly: "Shopkeeper, you can remember it, I haven't accompanied the shopkeeper Liu." ”

The look of affection and grievance in those eyes made the shopkeeper's heart melt, and he turned his eyes to find Ah Hua standing beside Chu Nian in the crowd, "Ah Hua, come here, let's talk about it well, have I treated you badly in these days when you are here?" ”

At this moment, Ah Hua opened her cherry mouth in astonishment, she looked at the shopkeeper Liu on the ground, and then looked at the shopkeeper of the gambling house, "The shopkeeper, I didn't ...... with the shopkeeper Liu."
