When Li Canghai lost all the money in his hand again, Huang Sheng did not hand her a silver tael, but took out a jade pendant, handed it to the little maid and said, "Take it as a pawn." ”

The little guy was stunned for a moment, this indifferent and breezy attitude is not like what a person who has lost all of his life should have.

Li Canghai didn't only have the gambling table in his eyes now, and was surprised by Huang Shang's actions: "Have you already lost all your money?" ”

After careful calculation, more than 10,000 taels have been entered, but this has bottomed out Huang Shang's purse?

Can't!

If she really ran out of money, she would have already retreated.

Li Canghai said: "No money? Let's go. ”

Huang Sheng stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Don't worry. ”

Others were really stunned.

Gamblers know that gambling is a vice, and gamblers will not want to let their relatives, children and grandchildren get involved in gambling. But the man in front of him not only did not stop his woman from gambling, but when the woman lost all and wanted to leave, he also pawned his belongings to provide gambling money. This really makes the little guy from a small family not understand, and even some gamblers with some assets can't understand it.

Li Canghai knew Huang Shang too well, and when he saw his tricky appearance, he knew that he had other plans, so he didn't say more.

Seeing that the little guy was still stunned, Huang Sheng shook the jade pendant in his hand and said, "It's done!" ”

The little guy was startled, and involuntarily reached out to lift the jade pendant, which was a jade Guanyin statue.

Buddhism is admired here, and Buddhist items are a very important commodity to trade with the Great Song Dynasty, and it is not yet possible for ordinary merchants to do it.

As soon as the jade Guanyin started, although the little guy did not understand the advantages and disadvantages of the jade quality, the value, but also felt that it was warm and fine, and took a look at it, crystal clear, and did not understand and knew that the value was extraordinary, which made people reluctant to let go.

The little guy hurriedly took the jade Guanyin to find the manager of the casino. If there is a casino, it will definitely be accompanied by usury and pawn, which does not need to be learned, it is self-taught. The little guy can't be the master himself, so he can't help but find his superiors.

With little effort, the little guy came to Huang Shang with the jade Guanyin, bowed down and said, "Master, the shopkeeper of my family, please talk in the inner hall." ”

Huang Sheng smiled and nodded, followed the little guy to the inner hall of the casino, and saw the person in charge here.

A strong man in his forties, with a big round face, a nose and a big mouth, a face full of horizontal meat, a beard, and a strong suit, he doesn't look good.

Only such a person can suppress a place like a casino, but I don't know if it is really capable, or can only bully the good.

Although this steward looks rude, since he can manage the casino, he is by no means a simple-minded person who only knows violence.

He had long noticed the man and woman, because they had been gambling here for some time, and they were so different from the other gamblers that they did not act like they were trying to win, but more like they had another purpose.

Huang Shang sat calmly opposite the steward, but the steward's face was cloudy, and it was the top priority to be cautious and cautious in managing this kind of gray or even black area business.

The steward asked in a calm tone, "Where is the master from?" ”

Huang Shang smiled: "The casino doesn't care where I came from?" I'm taking real money, you just have to take the money. ”

The steward glanced at Li Canghai next to him, although this woman was dressed as Goryeo, she could only speak Chinese, these two people were by no means simple.

The steward said: "What the master said, then talk about this jade pendant, how much does the master plan to be?" ”

Huang Shang said: "You have the final say." ”

The steward grabbed the jade Guanyin in his hand and said tentatively: "Ten thousand taels? ”

Huang Sheng smiled and nodded, "Okay." ”

The steward's hand tightened, his heartbeat accelerated suddenly, his price was extremely low, and there were many people who took out this jade pendant and bought it for 100,000 taels, and he said that 10,000 taels belonged to habitual temptation, leaving room for bargaining, but he never thought that this man agreed without the slightest hesitation.

Is it that he doesn't know the value of this jade pendant?

Without that smile, the person in charge couldn't hold it, but when he saw Huang Shang's smile, the person in charge knew that this man knew the value of this jade pendant very well, and he couldn't say how he knew it, but he just felt this way.

That's right, from beginning to end, what puzzled him the most was this man's behavior.

The steward did not have the joy of picking up a big bargain, but felt that this jade pendant was a little hot, and he regretted that his bid was too low. I have the intention to add him to 50,000 taels or 80,000 taels, but the casino takes the initiative to give the price, and there has been no such rule since ancient times.

Just when he was in a dilemma, Huang Sheng had already stretched out his hand and said, "Take the money." ”

The steward had no way back at this time, so he took out a silver ticket of 10,000 taels and handed it to Huang Shang's hand.

Huang Shang changed his hand and handed it to the little servant and said, "All the chips are exchanged." ”

The little guy glanced at the steward first, and didn't directly reach out to reveal it, Li Canghai suddenly stopped Huang Sheng and said, "I'm tired today, so I won't play." ”

Huang Sheng glanced at Li Canghai, withdrew the silver ticket in his hand, and said, "Okay, rest today." ”

Huang Shang took back the silver ticket, and the little servant and the steward were relieved.

Back in the room, the little maid still brought in the wine and food and ate in the room.

However, this time the little guy did not come in alone, and he was followed by a thin old man, in his sixties, with three strands of long hair, and a little elegance in the merchant's philistine.

When he entered the door, he said, "Master, our shopkeeper is visiting." ”

Huang Sheng smiled slightly and said, "Please take a seat." ”

There was no surprise or inquiry on his face, as if he knew he was coming, or maybe he should have come.

The old man introduced himself first and said: "Master, the little old man is the big shopkeeper of the Li family inn, called Li Zhonglu, I have given you a salute to the master." ”

Huang Shang said: "You're welcome, I don't know what the shopkeeper is here for?" ”

Li Zhonglu said: "The old man has been coming to the shop for a long time, and he has been generous and takes care of the business of the shop. It's just that in the end, the old man lost so much money in the casino, and he had to pawn his belongings, which was really unpleasant. ”

Li Zhonglu was about to continue, but was interrupted by Huang Shang: "We went to the casino voluntarily, and we were not forced to go by your knife rack neck, the shopkeeper's words are serious." ”

Li Zhonglu said: "The master is magnanimous, admire and admire." ”

Huang Sheng said: "Don't be so polite. ”

Turning his head to Li Canghai and said, "Make a cup of tea for the shopkeeper." ”

Li Canghai glanced at Huang Sheng in surprise, and then turned his head to look at the shopkeeper.

Huangshang's tea is not ordinary tea, it is not sold here, but brought from home, it is tribute tea.

Although Huang Shang is not a stingy person, he really never invited anyone to drink tea, even if Huang Jinyuan arrived at home, he did not say to pour a cup of tea for the third brother.

However, Li Canghai still made a cup of tea and brought it to the shopkeeper.
