Chapter Sixty-Nine: Magnificent and Luxury
On the surface, this time the skinning case and Lin Qingjiang's murder were closed, the murderer Zhao Kang was dead, and all the evidence was archived and processed, I heard that the saint was very satisfied with Mo Ziyu's praise, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also very grateful to Mo Ziyu for finding out the murderer of his teacher.
It seems that everything ended without a hitch.
As for the Changsheng Gambling House, Guan Liang and Yunshui Pavilion didn't seem to exist, and they were all suppressed.
Ling Lan didn't have much thought, she just looked forward to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince appearing and keeping her promise to reward her with a sum of silver.
Because of the last fever and feeling unwell, Ling Lan didn't go out for several days, and began to eat and sleep, wake up and walk in the yard, in addition to putting all her energy into literacy, so that Fluttershy found a lot of books, eager to learn to read and write.
Mo Ziyu is also very busy, and the closing of the case is simple, but in fact, the process is quite cumbersome, and all kinds of filings form archives, so it has basically not appeared in the past few days.
"Girl, if you are tired, rest for a while, it is not good for your eyes." Fluttershy reminds more than once.
Ling Lan tilted her head: "I understand that the vision is not good at night, then it is a blue sky and a white day, and the sun is just right, why is it not good for the eyes?" ”
I thought Fluttershy would be speechless, but I didn't expect her to explain seriously: "Girl, you don't know this, too strong or too weak light can hurt your eyes." ”
Ling Lan: "..."
Seeing this, Fluttershy laughed, "Girl, you don't need to be famous, why did you suddenly decide to study hard?" ”
Ling Lan pursed her lips: "This girl wants to do business, how can she do it if she can't read?" ”
This is what she says, and Fluttershy is only surprised to hear it, not understanding what kind of business she is doing.
However, Mo Ziyu, who happened to come to the gate of the courtyard, heard the problem, doing business?
Just as she was about to ask a few more questions, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that Master Mo was approaching, and Fluttershy hurriedly saluted.
I moved the book in front of me a little, and just happened to see a man walking towards the light.
"I heard that you've been studying hard lately, what are you looking at?" Mo Ziyu didn't hear anything, and asked deliberately.
Ling Lan subconsciously hid the book behind her: "It's nothing, just take a casual look." ”
Mo Ziyu was very cooperative and did not expose it, he had already seen that it was a children's rhyme.
"Do you want to go for a walk?"
"I don't want to move." Ling Lan shook her head and muttered, she hadn't completed her literacy goal today, so she couldn't go out to play.
Mo Ziyu came to her side and sat down, and said softly: "I'm going to go to the gambling house to play a few games, are you sure you won't go?" ”
Ling Lan suddenly came to her senses, got up and walked to the room with her books: "Wait, I'll change my clothes and come." ”
In the prosperous gambling house, the two of them brought masks of special materials before entering the door, and agreed not to speak inside and walked separately.
At first, Mo Ziyu refused, but Ling Lan had her own ideas and persevered to the end, she was afraid that Mo Ziyu would be recognized and affect her performance.
There is no way, Mo Ziyu can only acquiesce.
Although she was mentally prepared, Ling Lan was still shocked. It's gorgeous, no wonder it's the No. 1 gambling house, it's really magnificent.
The eyes are full of splendor, many decorations are made of gold, several rows of glazed lamps form lanterns, the pillars are carved with unknown plants and blooming flowers, vivid, and there is a fist-sized night pearl on the table, round and full. It's definitely the kind that has no price.
In such a luxurious environment, there are beautiful women, and there are still small songs in the place where guests rest, but they don't understand it.
Ling Lan sighed in her heart, Guan Liang, the owner here, is definitely a rich man!
Not to mention anything else, that night pearl is priceless.
Sensing her gaze, Mo Ziyu thoughtfully: "Do you like this kind of flashy thing?" ”
Have all one's goods in the window?
Ling Lan gave him a self-conscious look and turned to walk away.
It is estimated that the pearl of the night would not have imagined that there would be a time when it would be disliked.
While walking, the hall area is very large, there are many gambling tables, the table is a kind of black stone polished very bright, there are a lot of people, all with masks like her, as for the way to play, there are also a lot, from cards to dice, pai gow, etc., people come and go.
If she is allowed to choose, she can only play dice, bet on the size, and the others are too complicated to learn in a short time.
It's all here, and she has to experience it, thinking that she still has some silver in her arms, she came to the crowd and was eager to try.
Mo Ziyu was as stingy as ever, bringing her here without preparing gambling money for her.
The people around him suddenly exclaimed, and learned from their discussion that they had opened six times in a row, and everyone was extremely excited to win a few in a row, discussing whether to continue to press big.
Ling Lan took a few steps forward to see clearly, the position of the bet on the table was directly opposite, at this time, the big side was full of silver tickets, but the small side didn't have half a penny, and the big one opened six times in a row, which didn't seem right.
Raising her eyes and looking around casually, taking in the expressions of many guests and dealers, Ling Lan thought for a moment, and put the only thirty taels of silver on her body on top of the small one.
The atmosphere suddenly became delicate, and everyone nearby looked at her with different eyes.
The nearest middle-aged man was slightly chubby and wore a black silver-rimmed mask, he bowed his head slightly and whispered and advised: "This girl, six times in a row, let's count this one is still big, you can see where everyone presses, now there is still a chance to change." ”
The other party's words were serious, Ling Lan accepted it humbly, paused and responded in a low voice: "Uncle, thank you for your kindness, but I have a gut feeling that this time it is small, anyway, I don't have much money to give it a try." ”
She said carelessly, and the man shook his head slightly, feeling that the young girl did not understand anything, and said no more.
The dealer shouted and glanced at Ling Lan after leaving his hand, and found that she did not react, so he put the dice into the dice cup, and shook his palm upwards skillfully, and the dice and the dice cup collided to make a crisp sound, which also affected the gambler's heart.
Ling Lan stared at the dealer curiously, and then looked at the gambling money on the table, the big red circle was full of silver tickets, roughly calculated almost ten thousand taels, all of them were rich people!
On the other hand, there are only thirty taels in the small character circle, and she is the least bet, no wonder someone looked at her with disgust before.
Ay! She also disliked herself a little.
Bang! The dice cup returned to its place, and when everyone was looking forward to it and feeling excited, the dice cup was slowly opened.
"Great! Big! Big! ”
Someone shouted uncontrollably, as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
Encouraged by the atmosphere, Ling Lan was also a little excited, that is, the others were too noisy, it would be better to be quiet.
Under the dice cup are the points of two dice, one and three, small!
Discordant voices rang out, some people left angrily, and some people glared at the dealer, dissatisfied and complained.
Ling Lan was surprised, aren't all rich people willful? This bit of silver is a drizzle for them, as for such a big reaction?
