Passing through the West Market, turn two streets to Jucai Gambling House. From a distance, I saw a number of flower baskets at the door of the gambling house, and when I got closer, the dice shook and the noise followed.

The original plaque of the Jucai gambling house has been removed, the position of the previous plaque is empty, there are many red ball brocades around it, and a small wooden sign is hung on the side of the door, which reads, the new store opens, new and old customers enter the store, and the dealer sends the first three handfuls to help the fun.

Ho, I said that there are so many people coming and going today, and it is Li Jiu who plays such a signboard.

All gamblers have gambling addiction, and they are free of the first three, so they naturally want to play a few more, and they come and go, and the profit is naturally still the business. I didn't see that this Li Jiu actually had a lot of means.

Looking at the appearance outside, I am also a lot relieved. It's good that the gambling house takes over, but it's a matter of concern.

"Engong, are you here?" Li Jiu strode out from the door, he was wearing a dark purple robe today, his eyebrows and eyes were full of joy, and he bowed his chin when he saw me, "Engong, please come inside, Li Jiu will let people make tea." ”

I hooked my lips slightly and followed him all the way through the front hall to the third floor.

This was the first time I'd been upstairs in a casino. Different from the first floor of the gambling house, the second and third floors are all private rooms, the second floor is more luxuriously decorated, there are shiny glass everywhere, and the decoration of each room is different, there are tables in the room, with eight table stools, and a number of gambling equipment.

The decoration on the third floor is very elegant, each room is twice as large as the second floor, there are antique porcelain vases inside, and there are many windows in the room, which looks more spacious than the second floor.

I wanted the idea of a gambling house, it was a temporary idea, but I didn't expect the upstairs to be such a world. No wonder Zhou Huzi was so hesitant when he signed the gambling contract, this gambling house, not only hundreds of thousands of taels, but millions of taels are considered to be undervalued.

Li Jiu led me all the way, to a very elegant room, opened the door and led me to sit on the top seat, first brought a pot of tea, and then brought me an account book, "Engong, this is the income of the past few days, you see." ”

I took it, but I didn't turn over the ledger, but just asked, "When this gambling house took over, did it go well?" ”

Li Jiu said, "Back to Engong, quite smooth, the Jucai Gambling House left two small Ding to hand over with Li Jiu, the things of the original gambling house, basically not taken away, the gambling equipment was not damaged a little, and the business can be opened when the door is opened, it is Li Jiu who feels that it is not good to use the old plaque, which makes people go down." I've been waiting for Engong for the past few days, just waiting for you to come up with a name, and you can hang it up tomorrow. ”

I nodded, but I didn't expect that the other party was not small-minded. Li Jiu is right, this gambling house is mine now, and the name naturally can't be used before.

What's it called......

I smiled slightly, "Let's call it Changsheng Casino." ”

The casino is a win, and I hope that from now on, the road to be taken will be as successful as the name of the casino.

Li Jiu said, "Yes, Engong, Li Jiu will order to make a plaque and hang it tomorrow." ”

I nodded and asked, "I see, there is a lot of help in the gambling house, and there are all kinds of dice doormen, you invited them?" ”

Li Jiu bowed his head a little embarrassed, and said, "Engong, this is not, these are Li Jiu's former brothers, after taking over the gambling house, I am afraid of delaying Engong's business, and it is impossible to find someone for a while, anyway, they have no work, so they called to help, Engong, won't blame?" ”

I got up and laughed, "Of course not." You're right, this new store is open, it's a time when there is a shortage of manpower, and you have friends who are willing to come over to help, and you need to thank you. But ...... "I looked at him" you say, they didn't have a job? ”

Li Jiu nodded and said, "These are all friends that Li Jiu knows in the market, he used to be young and ignorant, and he was very good at messing around." When I settled down and wanted to find a job to support my family, I was reluctant to hire because of my bad reputation. ”

I nodded, but I also thought about it in my heart, and said, "Since this is the case, you can ask them later, if you are willing to stay in the gambling house, in terms of wages, how much should other gambling houses give, I will fill in double, how about it?" ”

Li Jiu's face turned red, and he said, "Thank you for not giving up, willing to keep them, how can you double the salary, if you don't give a word, it's okay." ”

I smiled slightly, and said, "Wages are naturally paid, and they are also considered to be here for you, so how can I treat anyone badly?" From the time it opened, the next day of the next month, you can pay them double their wages.

Li Jiu hurriedly bowed his hand, and said movingly, "Li Jiu is here again, thank you for your kindness." ”

I hummed and continued, "However, my double salary naturally cannot be given for nothing, there needs to be something, and they must do it." ”

"Eun Gong, please speak."

"When I entered my Changsheng gambling house, I am the person in the gambling house, I don't care how they were before, I must do things according to the rules in the future. Don't have the bad habits of the previous market, these can be done?

Li Jiu's face flushed, "Engong gave us a chance to live again, how can we not cherish it." Rest assured, we will do things according to the rules. ”

"That's good." I didn't say much, I flipped through the account book a few times, Li Jiu was very safe, and the money account was also clear, one by one, accurate to the copper coin. A little estimate shows that there have been nearly 100 taels of income every day in the past few days, but it's just ...... How can there be a thousand taels of gold in this account?

Li Jiu hurriedly explained, "Engong, this thousand taels of bottom gold was left when the Jucai Gambling House was handed over. ”

"What do you say?"

He shook his head, "Li Jiu asked, but the other party only said that he was instructed from above and did what he said." ”

I picked up the teacup and drank it, the sweet aftertaste, into the throat long, this tea ......

Li Jiu hurriedly said, "Engong, the people from the Fortune Gambling Workshop deliberately left a bag of new tea, saying that it was a first-class Longjing before the rain." Li Jiu tasted it and saw that there was nothing unusual, so he gave it to Engong. ”

Tea was also left......

I frowned slightly, what did the masked man mean?

To be honest, I didn't win this gambling house honorably, and when I thought about it, I didn't know that this gambling house was so luxurious. This person made it easy for me to take over the gambling house, so why did he send silver taels and leave tea, what is the situation......

After thinking about it again and again, there was no result, so I simply closed the ledger and didn't think about it.

Forget it, if the other party has any plans in his heart, he will know.

Spending five hundred taels of silver tickets from Li Jiu's account, and instructing him to do something else, he asked about Qiao Qi.

As I expected, Qiao Qi took Yuliang Gongzi's hand and a few pages of Ge paper on the third day, and passed the word over, saying that Yuliang Gongzi somehow only went out once every few days before, and these days, he actually went to Qingguo Temple every day, basically going out at the time of Chen, and returning when he was declared.

It's a good opportunity to go every day.

The second lady and her vicious daughter provoked trouble several times, and it was almost an hour to find her to settle the account.

I smiled slightly, and opened the paper that Qiao Qi had passed over, this is a notebook, on which is written in thin willow font Zhou Gongli. The handwriting is elegant and beautiful, and people say that they see words like people, and this Yuliang son must also be good-looking.

Roll up the paper in your hand and tuck it into your sleeve and pace to the window.

The autumn breeze at noon was cool and cool, this gambling house was built higher than ordinary houses, from the windows on the third floor, you can see a large number of buildings in front of you, there is a large courtyard in which the pavilions are arranged very exquisitely, I pointed to that place, and asked, "Do you know what kind of place it is?" ”

Li Jiu went to the window and said, "Engong, that's the side courtyard of Yulin Courtyard."

The side courtyard of Yulin Courtyard is really big enough......

I came back from the retreat, told Li Jiu to buy some things, let the green beads take them, and then left the gambling house and went to the Yin Red Mansion.

At this time, the Yin Red Mansion was even more lively than before, there was a small man who was Li Jiu's person, Xu was Li Jiu's order, I just entered through the gate, and he secretly led me to see the red leaves.

Became an oiran, the residence is naturally not as good as before, the original private room was replaced by an independent courtyard, there is a little maid at the door to serve, when the little girl went to report, I saw a mother-in-law brought sugar water in, Xu is just boiled out, the lid of the bowl is half open, it is white fungus bird's nest.

I smiled. After waiting for a while, the maid hurriedly came out to let the inside please, leaving the green beads at the door, and I strode in.

In just a few days, the red leaves have changed their appearance, the brocade dress is gorgeous, and the peach clouds are rippling between the eyebrows and eyes, presumably this Sister Lan has regarded her as a treasure at this time.

"Childe, you're here." She greeted the general, bowed hurriedly, and then said, "Childe, it's not good, yesterday the prince's mansion sent someone over and asked Hongye to enter the mansion as a singer to sing songs for the eighth prince." ”
