Chapter 9: A Big Gamble
Su Xiaolou rarely goes to the spring, and the flower girl naturally does not know Su Xiaolou, just because most of the girls in the Qinglou are making a living from performing arts, doing Qingqi, going to the literati, looking for confidants, but this is not seeing the spring, but it is not taboo to be a vegetarian, what is done on the bright side is the business of the Qinglou, but behind the scenes it is the meat business, and the reception is the rich businessmen and dignitaries who are looking for fun.
As one of the flowers and snowmoons in the south of the Yangtze River, the flower girl is in the name of Qingqi, but it is rumored that she has an affair with the Jia family.
Su Xiaolou remembered Jia Zhengjing's underwhelming appearance on the street yesterday, and guessed whether this stamen should be Jia Zhengzheng's concubine, since this is the case, then he is welcome.
"Three masters, why don't you wait for the slave family, the slave family is really sad!" Hua Rui held a peony fan, hiding her face and pretending to be sad, I really feel sorry!
The two men saw that they had made the beauty unhappy, and immediately apologized: "I'm really sorry! I thought that the girl was not coming, so I started the gambling game, and in order to apologize, it was up to the girl to set the ante bet! ”
Su Xiaolou didn't have any opinions, and nodded in agreement.
"The slave family has thanked the three masters, so it's better to set a tael of silver on the bottom bet." Stamen said delicately.
The ante bet is set at one or two silver, which can be said to be a big gamble. It seems that this flower girl has brought a lot of silver, and Su Xiaolou feels that she is going to make a fortune today.
The two men at the table paused, heard the beautiful woman's voice lingering to the bones, and their faces loomed behind the veil, and they gritted their teeth and agreed.
Hua Rui looked at the two wealthy businessmen with silky eyes: "It's the first time for the slave family to play, do you want to let the slave family?" ”
The two wealthy businessmen stared at the stamen, eager to tear off the veil: "How can you let the girl lose money, I know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade!" ”
She threw an eyebrow at Su Xiaolou, but Su Xiaolou looked disdainful, very annoying, no man was undefeated and fell under her pomegranate skirt, this Su Xiaolou was like not seeing himself, it was really hateful!
Lady Blossom looked at her fellow and signaled that the cards were ready to be dealt.
There are a total of six types of cards in the fried golden flower, all of which are pressed by one level and one level.
After the cards were dealt, after a few rounds, the bet had been called from the initial one or two taels of silver to one hundred taels of silver, Su Xiaolou folded early, leaving only the stamen and one of the rich businessmen, unveiling a look, naturally the flower girl card is bigger.
In the second and third rounds, Su Xiaolou either folded or the cards were pitiful, Hua Rui's luck was surprisingly good tonight, winning three games in a row at the beginning, the two rich businessmen were happy to play cards with the beauty, and they pretended not to care about the loss of money, and said with a wave of his hand: "It's hard to buy a beauty with a smile." ”
Su Xiaolou has figured out the gambling skills of the three people on the table, you can play boldly with confidence, the rich businessman with gold teeth is secretly making special marks for the cards, the old methods commonly used in the casino, this guy doesn't seem to be very proficient in playing, and Su Xiaolou saw it, this method can only control the size of the cards on the field to the hands of gamblers. This guy keeps losing, and he doesn't find a chance to perform.
Su Xiaolou touched the deck of cards hidden in the wide-sleeved robe under the table that were exactly the same as those on the table, hooked his lips and smiled, the only person he wants to slaughter tonight is the person who has an affair with the Jia family, the top brand girl who has not seen spring, those two buddies are here to help him share the firepower, the show has just begun, don't worry.
Su Xiaolou hid a deck of cards in his sleeves, and deliberately wore a wide-sleeved dress with the same color as the cards to facilitate the hiding of cards. Before he came through, Su Xiaolou's father also loved to gamble, and for a period of time he studied gambling all day long, and Su Xiaolou also learned a little, it was definitely not enough to deal with experts, and it was enough to deal with this kind of goods.
In the fourth game, the girl won the addiction, the bet doubled and increased, it had been added to eight hundred taels, Su Xiaolou was secretly happy in his heart, the opportunity came, the two rich businessmen looked embarrassed, the gambling money on their table was only three games and a small half, and they abandoned the card to avoid its edge, and only Su Xiaolou and the girl were left in the gambling game.
"Look at you poor jingle bell, you dare to follow eight hundred taels!" The flower girl's face was like a pink delicacy, showing a trace of disdain: "Let the slave family see if this master has a big card or a big heart!" Blossom girl showed her cards.
"Spade QKA, the biggest card in Shun Jin, the girl is really lucky!" The two wealthy businessmen secretly rejoiced, but fortunately they didn't follow.
"There is no need for the slave to look at this card, this master admits defeat and hands over the chips!"
Su Xiaolou changed his sitting posture and said slowly: "Don't worry! Blossom Girl! What if I'm a leopard? ”
"I think this master is not a big card or a big heart, but a big face!"
Looking at the laughing flowers and branches of the person opposite, Su Xiaolou silently opened his first card, the square J, the second card, the J of hearts, everyone's hearts rose to their throats, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the flower girl also stared at the last card in Su Xiaolou's hand and thought: Is it really feng shui in turns, impossible.
Su Xiaolou turned over the last card and showed it in front of everyone, plum blossom J, still a big leopard, Hua Rui glared at Su Xiaolou, I thought he was a timid and smelly poor ghost, but I didn't expect to be able to catch a leopard.
The girl pushed the chips over angrily, and Su Xiaolou accepted the gambling money from Xiaoshan Gao and said: "The girl from the flower stamen has agreed, she has accepted, but the girl has a lot of gambling money, and she won't care about this money." ”
She lost twice as much in this game as she won in the previous three games, how could she not feel distressed, and the two rich businessmen next to her were also very angry.
"I won a game, what's there to be afraid of! Again, I don't believe you're so good at it. ”
In the next few games, the three men all won and lost, only Hua Rui kept losing, never won a few games, and lost a few thousand taels of silver.
"Girl, why don't you stop here today! I don't think you have enough money. ”
"This girl is the one who is short of money, Xiao Tao, take this to exchange some gambling money with the shopkeeper." Hua Rui was addicted to gambling, took out a purple gem from his arms and handed it to the maid beside him, Su Xiaolou glanced at it, it was a rare thing, I don't know if it was the fish Dan purple turned into a thousand-year-old fish monster of the Jia family.
When the maid returned, she whispered a few words to Blossom's side, and Blossom said "Wait a minute" and went out.
At the counter, the flower girl said incredulously: "Are you an old man who doesn't know the goods, this is a fish Danzi transformed by a thousand-year-old fish monster, and it is worth fifty taels of silver?" ”
"Girl, fifty taels of silver are high, and the color of this thing is a little rare, and the jade quality is very ordinary, so it is not appropriate to love it."
Fifty taels of silver is not enough for her to play a game, so going back is not a joke, fortunately, she usually coaxes the father and son of the Jia family to give her a lot of good things, she reluctantly pulled off the golden hairpin on her head, and has been cursing Jia Zhengzheng in her heart.
