Text Chapter 9 Wanguan Family Wealth
After such an incident, not only did the eldest lady and her two daughters no longer come to trouble Xiao Lingxiao, but even these maids in the Qinghe Courtyard were all in danger and did not dare to disobey Xiao Lingxiao. Xiao Lingxiao and Bao Rong'er found an opportunity to let the divine wolf cast a spell, and took them to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion quietly and go outside to get silver.
Xiao Lingxiao asked Bao Rong'er to get her a set of men's clothes, and after changing them, she became a handsome son. As for Bao Rong'er, when she heard that she was going to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion to play outside, she immediately changed back to her previous outfit, with a thin waist and plump buttocks, and her breasts half exposed, which looked extremely swaggering.
When the two of them were ready, their figures flashed and disappeared from the room.
Reappeared, and the two had come to the corner of a bustling street in the imperial city. Xiao Lingxiao asked the divine wolf to appear as a guard for them, so there was a handsome young man wearing a snow-white robe beside the two.
Xiao Lingxiao looked at the divine wolf, and saw that his long jet-black hair was tied up high, his handsome face was slanted with slanted eyebrows and sideburns, his eyes had a strange and attractive blue light, and he slightly raised the corners of his mouth, looking a little proud.
"What are you smirking at? How much mana have you recovered? ”
The divine wolf stretched out his rootless fingers, "About fifty percent, master rest assured, this is enough to deal with those mortals." ”
With a cold-looking divine wolf by his side, the three of them walked on the street, although they were swaggering, no one dared to come forward to trouble them. Xiao Lingxiao stopped a vendor selling goods with a cart and asked about the general situation in the imperial city.
The emperor of the Wuchi Kingdom ruled the country well, although there is still war outside, but the imperial city is a prosperous and peaceful scene. There are actually many famous places in the imperial city, but what Xiao Lingxiao noticed the most was the first gambling house in the imperial city called Wanguanzhuang, the other was the first big green building in the imperial city called the Hate Idiot Pavilion, and the other was the first largest restaurant in the imperial city called Chufu Building.
"Master, where are we going?" The Divine Wolf asked softly.
The three of them had nothing on them, Xiao Lingxiao looked at the Divine Wolf and Bao Rong'er, and the first thought that came to her mind was that if these two guys were sold to the Qinglou, they would definitely make a lot of money......
Bao Rong'er and the Divine Wolf seemed to have seen through Xiao Lingxiao's thoughts, and they all took a step back.
The two guys looked weird and funny, Xiao Lingxiao smiled when she saw this, "Let's go to Wanguanzhuang." ”
Wanguanzhuang is located in the southwest of the imperial city, the whole manor covers a very wide area, southeast and northwest each open a door, receiving guests of different identities. Xiao Lingxiao and the others came to the north gate, which ordinary people could also enter, and as soon as they entered the door, a young man came forward. Seeing that the three people who came in were dressed ordinarily, they were all beautiful, and guessed that the other party's identity must be good, so he took the three out of the outermost row of houses without them talking, and led them through a corridor into another row of houses.
The people who gamble here are obviously a grade higher than those outside, there are a few tables in the wide room, and although there are many people in the group who are dancing, they do not shout and abuse, which makes people feel a lot more comfortable.
"Miss Childe, you can feel free to take a look first. We have all kinds of gambling games in Wanguan Village, and keep them so that you can return satisfied. After the little man said obediently, he made a gesture.
Xiao Lingxiao took the Divine Wolf and Bao Rong'er to walk through the gambling tables and take a look, and found that the bets on the table here were only a few dozen taels of silver at most, and if they gambled like this, they wouldn't make much money at all. So Xiao Lingxiao nodded and called the little guy just now and asked, "Is there a more decent gambling game?" ”
Xiao Qi was stunned when he heard this, and then put on a slightly apologetic smile, "There are all kinds of gambling games in Wanguanzhuang, but if you want to go inside, those who want to go inside are all distinguished guests, forgive the villain, I haven't seen a few guest officers, but if a few can have anything to show their identity, I can immediately give it to you." ”
To put it bluntly, if you want to go inside, you either brush your face or brush your silver, and whatever you take out counts.
But Xiao Lingxiao didn't have the same. If her identity is revealed, it is probably known to everyone in the imperial city now, but unfortunately it is not a good reputation. As for the silver......
"We don't have any silver on us, but we want to try our luck, this little brother, what can you do?" Xiao Lingxiao said it confidently, and there was no shame on her face. In the past, when she was a killer, she often went in and out of various casinos, and she never brought her capital. Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, but all casinos, they are all the same, Xiao Lingxiao knows that there are other ways.
Xiao Qi was stunned when he heard this, looked at the three people in front of him again, pondered for a while, seemed to understand something, and said with a wry smile, "If it is not convenient for Miss Gongzi to forget to bring silver when you go out today, it is better to come back another day." We don't gamble on loans, and I'm really sorry. ”
It stands to reason that you can borrow a usury from a donkey rolling in the gambling house, which is also an important way for the gambling house to make money, but I didn't expect this Wanguanzhuang to not provide loans, which was unexpected by Xiao Lingxiao. opened a gambling village but did not make money to the fullest, it seems that the owner of this Wanguan Village is a little interesting.
Xiao Lingxiao was the first time to see a casino that did not lend money, and was hesitating and didn't know what to do, when he saw that the little man had already given the people next to him a look, and then a dozen or so strong young men appeared in all corners of the room on standby, seemingly preparing to drive people out.
However, at this time, I suddenly heard someone talking at the door.
"If you don't mind, why don't you go around inside with me."
Xiao Lingxiao followed the sound and turned her head to look, and saw a handsome boy standing at the door, about twenty years old, with a slender figure, wearing a blue robe, wearing a gilded crown on his head, and a hearty heroic spirit between his eyebrows and eyes.
The handsome boy stepped in, as if he had brought in all the sunlight outside.
When the little man saw him, he hurriedly bowed down and saluted, and opened his mouth to say something, but he raised his hand to stop him. When Xiao Lingxiao saw this, he knew that he didn't want to reveal his identity, so he smiled lightly and said, "Brother Tai Meiyi, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
Gongzi looked at Xiao Lingxiao carefully, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, made a gesture, and left here with the three of them, walking slowly down the corridor inside.
Several people seemed to have a tacit understanding, and no one spoke all the way. The boy took Xiao Lingxiao and the others to the front of a wooden building in the courtyard, and then said softly, "Only distinguished guests are accepted here, and they only bet on dice, I hope the little prince will not be disappointed after seeing it." ”
They went straight up to the second floor and into a spacious room. In the middle of the room is a large gambling table, and around the table are carved chairs of Nan wood. There were already quite a few people sitting at the table, and next to each of them stood the servants who served them.
Childe took Xiao Lingxiao and the others directly to the place closest to the dealer, where there were still two empty seats. Childe and Xiao Lingxiao sat down side by side, and the Divine Wolf and Bao Rong'er stood behind Xiao Lingxiao as a matter of course.
Xiao Lingxiao found that the attitudes of these people present became respectful when they saw Gongzi, and when he sat down, these people seemed to be surprised and frightened, it seemed that this Gongzi's identity was not bad, and he would not usually participate in the gambling games here.
At this time, the dealer received a signal and said, "Distinguished guests, the first game, three dice, bet on the size." After that, he skillfully shook the dice with the color cup, and finally landed on the ground with a snap, waiting for everyone to bet.
At this time, Childe leaned into Xiao Lingxiao's ear and whispered, "How does Little Boy want to bet?" ”
When Childe approached, the faint scent of sandalwood on his body also diffused around Xiao Lingxiao, Xiao Lingxiao liked such an elegant taste very much, smiled slightly, pretended to think a little, and actually heard the points reported by the divine wolf in his mind.
"Three, four, six."
Xiao Lingxiao confidently said the points. She and the divine wolf had no opponents in the past in the casino, but now this trick of shaking the dice, Xiao Lingxiao naturally doesn't pay attention to it.
Xiao Lingxiao's attitude surprised Gongzi a little, and asked the people around him to take out the silver ticket and place a bet, and he really won.
Childe pushed the silver ticket he won back in front of Xiao Lingxiao and said with a smile, "Little boy has a gambling book." ”
Xiao Lingxiao did not shirk and used this silver ticket to bet again.
The number of dice increases by one for each additional game, which starts with just the size of the bet, then becomes the number of points, and with this change, the amount of silver in and out of the table also doubles.
Xiao Lingxiao sat there and kept betting, betting all of them every time, and she didn't hesitate to bet points every time. A total of seven bets, in the end, the dealer has shaken ten dice, and Xiao Lingxiao actually won all the good bets!
When the dealer opened the color cup, everyone present gasped and looked at Xiao Lingxiao like a monster. Even the eyes of the boy who brought her with her looked at her much sharper.
"Thirty thousand taels of silver tickets, please keep this son." The little guy in the casino counted the silver obtained by Xiao Lingxiao and sent it to her, and Xiao Lingxiao immediately divided half of it and pushed it in front of the son.
Childe was stunned when he saw this, "What does this mean little boy?" ”
Xiao Lingxiao smiled, "Brother Tai's capital made me go to the gambling table, if I don't give Brother Tai a little dividend, how can I hand over your friend?" ”
Childe immediately laughed when he heard this, he pushed those silver tickets back in front of Xiao Lingxiao, and said softly, "If Little Boy is a friend of mine, why don't I leave my name so that I can meet in the future and have a name, how about it?" ”
Xiao Lingxiao saw that he didn't want silver tickets, so she asked Bao Rong'er to put away all these silver tickets, then got up and arched her hand at him, lowered her voice and said, "See you in the future, brother Tai will naturally know my name." Leave. ”
With that, she walked out with the Divine Wolf and Bao Rong'er.
Gongzi watched Xiao Lingxiao leave, still smiling with interest, and after a long time, he nodded and called the people around him, and whispered, "Go and find out where they come from." The subordinate left, and then the son got up, got out of the wooden building, and walked towards the courtyard deeper in Wanguanzhuang.
Xiao Lingxiao and others came to Wanguanzhuang, and they really became entangled in their waists. After coming out, he found that it was almost noon, and the divine wolf raised his hand to cast a spell to send Xiao Lingxiao and Bao Rong'er back to the bedroom of the Qinghe Courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it disappeared.
As soon as Xiao Lingxiao and Bao Rong'er stood firm and opened their eyes, they heard a rapid knock on the door outside the bedroom.
Bao Rong'er strode over and opened a crack in the door, and roared with anger on her face, "What are you doing!" ”
The maid who knocked on the door was startled, and only after recovering her senses did she say, "The third master and the eldest prince are back...... The old lady said that the eldest lady should go to the Xianglin Courtyard to meet them......"
