Chapter 65 Sea Casino

Since the Ming Dynasty, Fuzhou has been the capital of Fujian, with both a city and a large shipyard, and maritime trade was once very developed. Later, when the plague was severe, Fuzhou's maritime trade shrank.

In the early years of Kangxi, in order to stabilize the situation, the sea ban was implemented and the residents of Fuzhou were relocated, until the 23rd year of Kangxi when the imperial court subdued Taiwan and the Zheng family surrendered.

Fuzhou has been redeveloped for more than 30 years and is now the largest port for maritime trade.

Chi Xia was so blushing for a long time that he was called "Nian Nian", and pulled Nian Xiyao to work overtime until midnight before forgetting about it.

The next morning, I got up and walked to the flower hall, and saw Yongzheng waiting for her at the table: "Come and eat, let's go out and have a look after dinner." ”

Chi Xia felt that she was a little tempted to slip away again.

Yongzheng was puzzled: "What's wrong?" Not used to living? ”

Isn't she always very adaptable? You can sleep for four or five hours on the boat.

Chi Xia couldn't find a reason, so he could only sit down.

There was a basket of delicate dim sum on the table, and at first glance it was the craftsmanship of Chef Zhang of Tianxianglou, and Chi Xia picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and put it in his bowl.

Su Peisheng came forward to serve with a smile: "Niangniang, in addition to Zhang Niangzi's snacks, there are also a few side dishes and snacks made by Fuzhou chefs today. ”

"Oh," Chi Xia also followed his guidance and took a fried bun, sorted out his mentality, and asked Yongzheng, "Where are you going?" Didn't you say that you wouldn't interfere in the drills of Fujian sailors before the competition? ”

She doesn't have any rules for eating and sleeping, after all, for modern workers, three meals are important communication times, and there are lunches.

Yongzheng had many "table meetings" with her and Yinxiang last year, and he was used to it: "Have you forgotten what the opportunity for us to go out of Beijing was?" ”

Chi Xia was stunned for a moment, and really thought about it for a while before remembering: "Ah! To find out about the big smoke? ”

Along the way, they passed through Shandong, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, and saw many foreign merchant ships, and they also intended to investigate, but they did not bring opium into the goods for sale.

She had almost forgotten about it.

When it comes to business, Chi Xia finished eating in two bites, full of energy: "Where to check?" Just take a casual stroll around the streets? ”

Yongzheng asked her rhetorically: "Where do you think you should go to check?" ”

They don't really have any definite clues in their hands, and they don't have a clear destination.

Chi Xia thought for a while: "Restaurant? ”

There are people from all walks of life, and the news is also very well-informed.

Yongzheng nodded: "You can also go to the gambling house to have a look." ”

He had seen those who smoked big cigarettes, and nine times out of ten they would get addicted to gambling, thinking that they would win money at the gambling table so that they could continue to buy big cigarettes.

Chi Xia: "But do you know where this kind of place is?" We came all the way yesterday, and we didn't seem to see anything like it. ”

In modern times, she went to a casino in Macau once, and she also played twice. But Macau casinos are legal and standardized.

Yongzheng smiled: "I don't know, naturally someone knows." I saw that Fucha Jinbao was like a wild horse off the leash when he left the capital, and he had a lot of fun in the past year, and he must be very familiar with these places. ”

That makes sense......

Chi Xia looked at Su Peisheng: "Then don't you call General Yue and General Yue?" ”

Yongzheng: "Call Yue Zhongqi, Nian Qianyao forget it, let him rest in the house for a few days." ”

After all, it is not easy for a seasick person to be seasick for more than 20 days.

Chi Xia haha: "It's okay, so as not to get into a pinch between General Nian and Lord Fucha." ”

~~~

After Fucha Jinbao made a "bet" with Chi Xia yesterday, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had a chance to win.

This whole day was first scared half to death, and then the peaks and loops, which was really exciting.

After thinking about the bright future of being added to the official rank, he fell asleep grogily.

After sleeping until dawn, the soldiers ran to him and shouted that the emperor was already waiting for him, and only then did a spirit get up: "Are you a pig?" Knowing that the emperor is here, didn't you call me earlier? ”

Liu Yusheng was the soldier who sent him to the official mansion yesterday, and muttered: "Then we didn't expect the emperor to come so early." When you become an emperor, you have to get up early in the morning? ”

He didn't read much, purely because he was very good in the water and could fight in the water, so he was selected by Fucha Jinbao as a personal guard.

Many people in Fujian are engaged in fishing, and many marine fish are caught at night, so fishermen often go out to sea at night and do not have the habit of getting up early in the morning.

The sailor's camp will still be quiet in the morning.

Yongzheng took Yue Zhongqi and Chi Xia to change into locally bought clothes in Fuzhou, and waited in the camp for a while before people started to move one after another.

The sun has completely climbed into the sky.

People like Chi Xia who like to sleep lazily feel that this is a bit too much: "It's going to be nine o'clock, right?" I've always thought you were too early, but they got up too late, right? ”

As he spoke, he heard Fucha Jinbao running over and knocking down: "The emperor forgives the sin, the slave is late." ”

Yongzheng listened to his plea: "Get up, I said yesterday that I didn't ask you how to train in the past 20 days, just look at the results of the actual combat drill in the 20th day." ”

Fucha Jinbao nodded repeatedly.

Yongzheng interrupted him with a stack of "yes": "I don't have anything to do with you today, just let you lead the way and take us to see the casinos in Fuzhou." ”

"Yes, yes...... Yes, ah? ”

Fucha Jinbao "is" for a long time, and when he reacted to what the master said, everyone stammered: "Go, go to the casino??" ”

Yue Zhongqi couldn't look past his stupid appearance: "The emperor has his own intentions, you just ordered the guards to lead the way." ”

"General Yue...... This is ...... the official."

Yue Zhongqi reminded him in a low voice: "Don't do this, that, you are familiar with the flower boat yesterday, do you dare to say that you have never been to the casino?" ”

Fucha Jinbao was right to think about it, wiped his face, and simply lay flat: "The biggest casino in Fuzhou is actually not in the city, with ...... Everything is on board. ”

It's not a "gambling house" but a "gambling boat".

Yongzheng nodded: "Then let's go." ”

Fucha Jinbao did not dare to slack off, ordered a good hand in water warfare to pretend to be a family guard, and arranged a warship to wait on the coastline.

He took Yongzheng and others to the place where he sometimes went to play with two hands, and this boat was called "Drunken Dream Building".

On the boat, there are carved beams and paintings, warblers singing and swallows dancing, and there are snacks and sweet wine on the side of each gaming table, which can be enjoyed at will when you get on the boat.

It's really a scene of drunkenness, drunkenness, life and death.

Fucha Jinbao is obviously also a famous "distinguished guest" here.

As soon as he got on the boat, someone came over to greet him: "Ah, isn't this our Uncle Fucha, are you taking Sister Jia or Sister Rong today?" If I don't bring it, I'll call someone to serve the uncle? ”

Fucha Jinbao was about to "sternly refuse" as soon as he thought about the lawsuit, but he received Yongzheng's warning sight.

The meaning is obvious, to do the same as usual, don't spoil my business.

He could only forcibly "chic": "What's the point of taking them every day, don't you have a girl here who is particularly good at shaking dice?" ”

The man nodded hurriedly: "Okay, you wait, I'll call you someone, that girl happened to be absent today, but we have a new kid here, bright and good-looking, do you want to try it?" ”

As he spoke, he pushed over a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old.

The boy is a little thin, but his face is extremely good-looking, with long eyebrows flying obliquely, the tails of his eyes slightly raised, and his partial life is matched with dark and deep eyes, which adds a bit of calmness, and it does not look sharp or bewitching.

Even if you're only at this age, you can see a stunning look.

Chi Xia: ......

This Lord Fucha has really refreshed her cognition many times, and she has a lot of fun.
