Jingshu took Zhang Wen into a big room at will, and the sound of dice and shuffling was endless, but everyone didn't speak loudly. The people who come here, of course, are different from the people in ordinary gambling halls, and the people who come here are all rich and statused people, and they are somewhat self-contained.

Zhang Wen walked around casually and found that the money piled up on the table was all gold and silver tickets, and there was very little silver, let alone copper coins. He thought about going into the water to play a few games, otherwise he was afraid that people would doubt his purpose for coming here.

But he doesn't understand most of the basic rules of gambling, such as leaf cards, etc., and if he goes rashly to play, he is afraid that he will have to look foreign. However, Zhang Wen finally found a table with a game he understood: betting on the size.

Zhang Wen walked to the table, looked at it for a while, turned back to Jingshu and said, "It's been small three times in a row, and this time it must be big." ”

Jing Shu smiled: "This is not accurate, I remember that this table was opened eleven times in a row last month." ”

Zhang asked: "Does Miss Jingshu have any silver on her, lend me a little, and hang it on Sun Gong's account for a while, and I will be an old friend with him below." ”

Jing Shu didn't say a word, and then took out a few silver tickets and handed them to Zhang Wen.

At this time, the dealer shook the stock with skillful movements, and then knocked on the table with a snap, saying: "Hurry up." Zhang Wen took out a hundred taels and put it on the word "big" without hesitation.

"Open!" The dealer shouted, and when the cup was opened, everyone looked at the place intently.

"Small!" "It's strange, I opened four small in a row, I don't believe it, and then press small!" "I think this one should be big, and it's not so easy to open five small ones in a row."

Zhang Wen then took out two pieces of silver worth one hundred taels and pressed them on top of the "big". The result is still small.

In the third game, Zhang Wen took 400 taels to press, but the result was still small...... Soon Zhang Wen lost everything.

Jingshu smiled and handed over a few silver tickets again, Zhang Wen shook his head and said, "Bad luck, don't play!" Zhang Wen didn't have much interest in gambling in the first place, so he took the opportunity to go outside with a black face.

Jing Shu followed, covered her mouth and smiled: "Xu Gongzi's gameplay is really interesting, but then again, the concubine admires Xu Gongzi very much."

Zhang asked: "I'm stupid, I lost more than a thousand taels in a blink of an eye, what is there to admire?" ”

Jing Shu smiled: "I admire Gongzi Xu for knowing how to advance and retreat." ”

"Hehe......" Zhang Wen looked at Jingshu and said angrily, "Should I praise the girl for being smart, or should I praise the girl for being able to speak?"

"Silver, life does not bring death, Xu Gongzi dissipates his anger, or let's change places to dissipate the anger on Gongzi's body?"

Zhang Wen listened to what she said, and said that wherever there is gambling, there will be prostitution, probably to take it to find the girl. Zhang Wen was most concerned about the price, so that he could learn about the information of this gold cave. So Zhang Wen said casually: "I look at this place, it costs thousands of taels of silver at every turn, and the girl is afraid that it is very expensive, right?" I spend that money, why don't I buy a few good girls? ”

Jing Shu glanced at her and asked, "I didn't expect that Gongzi Ye is still a clean person." ”

"How so?"

"Hehe, what Xu Gongzi said just now, I know that Gongzi has not tasted the beauty of it, if he tastes it once, he will not say that again. The taste of it, the son will know in a while...... Even if Xu Gongzi likes virgins, there are them here, and they are unusual virgins. ”

Jingshu saw the expression on Zhang Wen's face, and her smile became more calm and calm. In her eyes, as long as you have silver, you can spend it, and of course, the son of a wealthy family in front of her is no exception. By observing Zhang Wen's age and demeanor, Jingshu believes that only the young master of a wealthy family can have such insight...... But this time she did guess wrong: Guo Bailing could defeat the national player at the age of eleven; Zhang asked why he couldn't start from scratch and occupy a high position in his twenties?

Jing Shu said: "If a night of Spring Festival is better than a hundred nights of lingering, the price can rise a hundred times, and it is worth the money." She paused and said, "The concubine thinks that the son should try an experienced popular girl, because a virgin girl, no matter how she teaches, always lacks some experience, and the price is expensive." ”

Zhang asked: "I don't know what the price of the popular girl that Miss Jingshu said?" ”

Jing Shu looked Zhang up and down, and said with a smile: "This Xu Gongzi doesn't have to worry about it...... The concubine knew a popular girl named Miss Peixuan, if the appearance and conversation of the guests satisfied her, she was unwilling to accept the cash, and even the share given to the chess hall, she was willing to paste it herself. ”

Zhang Wen smiled dryly: "I just want to know the price, I don't care about the silver." ”

Jing Shu smiled ambiguously: "It's not just a matter of silver, think about the girl accompanying Xu Gongzi, but not for money, isn't it more interesting?" ”

Zhang Wen still had something to do today, so naturally he couldn't delay for too long, so he changed the topic and asked Jingshu, "How many courtyards are there in your chess hall?" Jing Shu said: "Eight in." ”

Zhang Wen smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid I won't be able to go shopping in one day, I still have to go to see Grandpa Sun, and I will bother the girl to lead the way." ”

At Zhang Wen's request, Jingshu took Zhang Wen and Xuanyue to find Sun Long. This courtyard is connected to the courtyard, the mountains, rocks and lakes, and the forest paths, Zhang Wen can't tell the difference between east and west, north and south, if he lets him go out by himself at this time, it will be a little troublesome. Walking into the attic where Sun Long was, Zhang Wen waited in the living room outside for a while before seeing Sun Long. Sun Long took Zhang Wen to a secret room, and the two sat down opposite each other.

"Master Zhang has a good time?" Sun Long said with a smile.

Zhang Wen nodded and said, "Heaven on earth." ”

Sun Long smiled and said, "Yes, heaven on earth." Our family is a eunuch, but they can make a eunuch feel very happy...... In fact, in this place, as long as you have money or power, you can meet almost all your other needs. ”

Zhang Wen was silent for a moment and said, "What is the relationship between Sun Gong and the chess hall, what about Qian Yiqian?" ”

"Our family doesn't have much to do with them, it's just a little bit of silver, and we come to play occasionally. A few days ago, our family learned that the current housekeeper here is actually Qian Yiqian, so our family can't move him, can't move him, and Master Zhang can't move either. ”

Zhang Wen nodded and said, "Yes, in this place of Zhejiang, under the governor, the political envoy can indeed speak. So before Qian Yiqian became the political envoy, the governor of Zhejiang was Cui Chengxiu, and the housekeeper here before was Master Cui? ”

Sun Long shook his head and said, "Our family doesn't know, our family only knows that there must be someone above them, and everyone has shared the silver." The relationship between Qian Yiqian and the chess hall was just heard about by our family, so our family wants Master Zhang to understand that Qian Yiqian can't move. ”

Cui Chengxiu has defected to Wei Zhongxian, and is now a complete eunuch; But Qian Yiqian participated in the impeachment of Wei Zhongxian, which was the Donglin Party through and through. The relationship here is a bit complicated, but Zhang Wen quickly grasped the key point: political opinion is political opinion, and interest is interest.

Zhang Wen lowered his head and pondered, and Sun Long continued: "Our family has thought of a way for Master Zhang, but you don't like it. There is an arrangement in the chess hall, and Lord Zhang is the governor of Zhejiang, it is not a big deal to promote an official or take care of a businessman, and hundreds of thousands of taels of military expenses are not a problem at all, not to mention that as long as Lord Zhang also participates in a share, there will be a lot of silver. As for dealing with the Donglin Party, you can't be guilty of staring at one person, just find some stunned people who can only read, and such a person will be kicked if he is kicked, so that he has multiple direct names, and everyone is happy. After the business is done, let's just divide the silver, and then have fun, waiting to return to Beijing, what do you care about so much? ”

The days of drunken gold fans are actually quite cool, and Zhang Wen does not deny this. But he wanted to say: The thieves on the Fujian side are on the side of the couch, and it is not possible to send a corrupt official to continue to scrape after the suppression continues. Now several provinces in the north often suffer from natural disasters, and they point to several provinces south of the Yangtze River to support the expenses of the imperial court.

In Zhang Wen's heart, he firmly believed that the officials of the group should be comfortable, and the position of the ruler should be stable, or they should look farther.

However, these words, Zhang Wen was just thinking in his heart at this time, and he did not say them. Since Qian Yiqian released his identity to hold Sun Long hostage and let Sun Long persuade him, then he went back to Hangzhou to find Sun Long, and then Sun Long brought him here, I'm afraid Qian Yiqian will know about it.

Zhang Wen understands his situation, if he comes sideways at this time, even Sun Long will not let him go, I am afraid that he will be tricked.

So Zhang Wen said casually: "Today I only saw a part of the chess hall, which is quite profitable, I'm afraid there is more than one such chess hall in Zhejiang." How much can I get a share of a share? ”

Sun Long's face was happy, and he thought about it and said, "Our family can divide three or four hundred thousand yuan every year, and we don't have to pay for it to play here." Mr. Zhang is about the same number. ”

"Three or four hundred thousand ......," Zhang Wen nodded solemnly, "We have been an official for hundreds of years." ”

Sun Long said with a smile: "Our family has long said that Master Zhang is a person who knows current affairs, otherwise Duke Wei would not take a fancy to you." As long as Master Zhang can think so, our family can breathe a sigh of relief. ”

Zhang Wen nodded and said: "But the business has to be done first, in this way, if the people above agree to let me participate in the shares, advance this year's dividends to me first, and Fujian will not be in a hurry, and there will be a big event." ”

Sun Long said: "Cheng, let's tell you about it." ”

Zhang Wenpi smiled and said: "If it weren't for Sun Gong's reminder, I would have done such nonsense, I'm afraid even Master Cui would have offended, and I would be left and right in the future." ”

Sun Long grabbed Zhang Wen's hand and said, "Duke Wei can send Master Zhang here, and our family will be much easier in Zhejiang." ”

Zhang Wen's hand was grabbed by Sun Long, and he got goosebumps, and he couldn't help but withdraw his hand, and instead patted Sun Long's shoulder to cover up the matter.

"Nacheng, I still have to arrange things over there in Wenzhou, let's just say it, if there is anything in the future, take care of each other." Zhang Wen was anxious to leave this place, because he really didn't feel very safe here.

At the same time, Zhang Wen was even more anxious to have an army under his control, so that he could have the confidence to fight.
