Chapter 33: Another Gamble
The days are short in winter, and the night is approaching.
The lively stage in the county was organized by the county magistrate, and the wealthy families donated money, and the Zhao family was separated from the singing stage by a street, and a large group of people at the door attracted the attention first, and the neighbors were not close to see the excitement.
The little guy of the Zhao family refused to let go, and the villagers of Qingshan Village refused to give in, and they were at a stalemate for a while.
Shan Tao tugged at her father's collar, signaled that she was going to stand on the ground, and steadied herself and looked up at the young master of the Zhao family, "I heard that the old man of your mansion is seriously ill, so I want to choose a woman to be happy, I'm just a country girl, where can I take care of this?" ”
The surrounding bystanders looked at the mountain peach, and they didn't dare to say that they were smacking their tongues in their hearts, Chongxi had heard of this, but they had never seen a milk doll Chongxi, it was really hurtful.
"How old is my father, do you really expect to raise an aunt and give me a brother?" The young master of the Zhao family didn't care about the eyes of others, and sneered, "I picked you because I heard that you are blessed." Our Zhao family is not short of money, and when you enter my Zhao family, you are a foot-washing maid, and you are better off than you in the poor countryside. ”
If it was in the past, the young master of his Zhao family fell in love with someone, and no one dared to say a word about it on the boundary of Cangjiang County, but today he spent a few words, but he thought of his father's illness and didn't want to do anything to the end.
"Besides, your father still owes my casino twenty taels of silver, and he can't afford to pay it back, so isn't it natural to sell a girl to pay off the debt?"
Like the young master of the Zhao family, who oppresses people with power and money, she has seen a lot of Shan Tao in her previous life, and the arrogance in her bones is not something that can be recognized by listening to a few words, and she does not plan to have a low profile, but to return a tooth for a tooth.
"If you want money, my family can pay you back now, if you want me, do you dare to gamble with me?"
As soon as these words came out, both Qingshan Village and Cangjiang County were speechless for a while, why is his father a gambler, and his daughter is also like this, and he dares to gamble with others about selling his body.
"Yes, gamble, I lost so much in your casino, and if I change my baby daughter, I will definitely be able to turn the tables." Only Yamajiro saw Yamamo's thoughts, and immediately cooperated with the conversation with red eyes, looking like he was addicted to gambling.
Uncle Sun wanted to persuade him, but when he saw Shan Erlang gesturing to him with his hands behind his back, he swallowed the words, and the villagers also remembered the gossip in the village, especially the fact that Shan Tao was looking for a wild boar that he had seen with his own eyes, and they all acted out one after another.
But the father and daughter looked stubborn and didn't listen to persuasion, and they couldn't listen to them, and insisted on gambling.
When the young master of the Zhao family saw that the mountain peach was clear, he thought that there was something extraordinary, but it turned out that he was also a little gambler, so he almost didn't write his contempt on his face.
"When the master gave birth to me, my mother was still pushing pai gow, and I bet with the master? Okay, just let your doll who doesn't know the height of the sky lose his heart, say, what to bet on? ”
The corners of Shan Tao's mouth curled slightly, "I don't understand the complexity, just guess the number." Shake the dice, you and I each report a number, whose number is closer to the winner. You won, I voluntarily entered the Zhao Mansion to rejoice, if you lose, our family's debts will be written off, so don't pass it off. ”
At this moment, there are more and more people around the door of Zhao's house, the young master of the Zhao family and a little girl from the countryside set up a gambling table on the spot, isn't it better than those plays that have been sung countless times?
I saw that the Zhao family's little servant moved a table, took out a dice and a sieve cup, rolled up his sleeves and was just about to shake when Shan Tao stopped him, "You have agreed to bet, so you won't have to pick your own family to cheat, right?" ”
"You, come here." The young master of the Zhao family rolled his eyes, casually clicked on the lively one, and threw him a dime of silver, "You can throw it." ”
The man didn't want to join in the excitement, but when he took the money, he came to the momentum, stepped forward and covered the sieve cup, moved it on the table, and began to shake it, and at first glance he was not gambling.
After shaking for a while, the sieve cup stopped, and the two of them wrote the numbers on a piece of paper, and the sieve cup was uncovered along with the paper.
"Two o'clock, both of them hit!"
The spectators were in an uproar, the dice had six sides, and it was too much of a coincidence that both of them guessed correctly.
Shan Tao glanced at the young master of the Zhao family, and said in his heart that this person said that he did have some ability to be in the casino since he was a child, and he could hear and count a dice.
The young master of the Zhao family raised his eyebrows at Shan Taoyi, "Yo, it's really blessed, can you guess this?" That's right, what's the matter? ”
"Just add the dice."
The second dice were thrown in, and the second round was reopened, and the two guessed together again.
The young master of the Zhao family has a mediocre appearance, and what is particularly eye-catching is that he has a pair of attractive ears, and I don't know if this is the reason, it seems that his hearing is different from ordinary people.
The difficulty climbed step by step, and the young master of the Zhao family slowly put away his heart of contempt for the enemy, and the smile on his face was completely retracted, and he even glared at the little guy next to him when he moved.
The dice have been increased to five, and the sound of the dice swaying in the sieve cup is becoming more and more difficult to distinguish, and the forehead of the young master of the Zhao family began to ooze sweat, and Shan Tao knew when she saw it, this is also the time to win, and she really mobilized the immortal technique and looked at the sieve cup.
In the right rounds, Shan Tao did not mobilize the immortal arts, but also relied on the ear power.
Unlike the young master of the Zhao family, who has been in the casino since she was a child, she was blind in her previous life, and her ear power was rubbed out in the dark night, and the five dice obviously exceeded the scope of ordinary people's ear power, which is a gamble that cannot be lost.
This time the pen fell, Shan Tao was still calm and relaxed, and wrote it quickly, but the young master of the Zhao family refused to put down the pen for a long time, and finally threw the pen on the ground with a black face.
Ignoring his reaction, Yamamoto unfolded the note to everyone as usual, five counts, one is not bad.
"Good!" The people around looked attentive, and they shouted hello on a whim, but they were stared at by the Zhao family's little servants with unkind eyes, and silently closed their mouths.
The young master of the Zhao family suddenly raised his leg and kicked over the table, the expression on his face was uncertain, Shan Erlang stepped forward to protect his daughter behind him, and everyone speculated whether this person was annoyed and ashamed to regret it.
Before he could do this, there was a movement in the Zhao Mansion first, and a maid ran out with tears in her eyes, "Young master, the master is no good, go and take a look!" ”
As soon as he heard that his father was no longer good, the young master of the Zhao family had no time to make a fortune, so he immediately pulled out his legs and ran in, and the Zhao family servants saw that the master had withdrawn, so they dispersed the crowd and closed the small door.
After the excitement was over, the onlookers also went to watch the singing.
"Third uncle, aren't you going to take Siya to the play, what are you going?" Yamamomo was clearly standing behind Yamanjiro, but found Sanzaburo hiding in the crowd with the intention of escaping.
He was a scholar who was powerless, and where could he escape the hands of a group of croppers, and was carried and tied to an ox cart.
"What are you doing!? I'm a scholar, and I'm going to be promoted in the show! Let go! ”
No one paid attention to Shan Saburo's shouts, and the group squeezed into Uncle Sun's ox cart and went to Qingshan Village.
The ox cart passed by the county office, and the father and daughter of Shan Erlang and Shan Tao looked at the mansion of the county magistrate, and the Zhao family's bravado made them both worry about Du Yingqiu, who had just left home to work.
