Chapter 18 The Game Within a Bureau

The largest gambling house in the capital, the gold square, is smoky and burning.

The men smoke their pipes, wrap their left arms around the plump singers, and toss gold in their right hands to place bets.

Yuan changed into a loose ordinary long jacket, wore a black hat and veil, led a few family mothers-in-law, and walked into the gambling house.

If she didn't go in person, others wouldn't be able to get back to Futing.

Fu Ting held a large pipe in his mouth, swallowed the clouds and smoke, and pressed a stack of silver tickets on the gambling table.

"Help the second master bet big and small?" The dealer asked with a smile on his face.

"Dada!!"

"Big hammer! Tiny! ”

All kinds of people around are heckling!

"Fu Er Ye played from last night to noon today, but he can lose three thousand taels of silver, and now he still owes the dealer one thousand five hundred and forty-six taels of silver. Why don't you play big at the end? You bet 3,000 taels, and if you win, I'll pay you all the 4,000 taels you owe! "The dealer has a pair of rat eyes, and he is extremely cunning.

Fu Ting poured a sip of spirits, his hand holding the pipe trembled a little, and his mouth twitched: "I, I bet, bet big!" ”

His eyes were so red that he stared at the dice wheel, almost dripping blood, and stomped on the ground: "Big, big, big!" Big!! ”

"Open the bank!"

The dealer opened the dice wheel, a light smile on the corner of his lips was fleeting, and he said regretfully and apologetically: "I'm sorry, help the second master." It's small. ”

"Take the money."

Fu Ting's face was pale, and his whole body trembled with anger: "Again, again!" ”

"No need. You owe four thousand five hundred and forty-six taels of silver, please help your family to redeem the money. It is only natural to repay debts. "The dealer's face is as pale as iron.

Hearing this amount, Fu Ting blew his beard and glared, and said, "You guys are out of the thousands!" I don't admit it! I-"

The bookmaker has long been commonplace and beckoned.

Several swordsmen approached, pressed Fu Ting, and pressed his five fingers on the table.

The dealer hid a knife in his smile and said indifferently: "If you lose, you lose, how can you not admit it?" I squandered money gambling at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if I don't admit my debts like you, can I still do this business? If you don't go to withdraw the money, don't blame the old brother, one hundred taels with one finger, and first cut off the hands and feet of the second master for two thousand taels. ”

"No!!" Yuan Shi snorted, hurriedly suppressed the hat, and hurriedly handed over all the money on his body to the Zhuang family, "He is the second brother of the general of Zhenguo, you can't hurt him." ”

"I'm sorry for the second lady, I entered my gambling shop, from the high-ranking officials and nobles to the common people, all of them are treated equally, but no matter what family background you have. If you talk about the background, the gambling houses are all over the country, which is a few points harder than you help the second master. The dealer checked the gold ingots and silver tickets handed over by the Yuan family, and shook his head helplessly, "There is still a thousand taels left." ”

Yuan's face under the hat was really embarrassed, and now Futing has gambled on the second room, and lost the three thousand taels just now, and he can't even take out a few hundred taels of silver.

Seeing that the other party was in such a difficult situation, the dealer sighed: "In this case, cut off ten fingers, worth a thousand taelsβ€”β€”"

The swordsman was just about to make a move, and Futing first broke out with a pig-killing cry!

Yuan rushed to block it, almost fainting!

At this moment, a voice sounded: "His thousand taels, this son is out." ”

Everyone followed the prestige and saw Chen Kang with a gold silk cane.

Chen Kang threw a thousand taels to the dealer, and then asked with concern: "Fu Erye, your hand is not injured, is it?" ”

"You, you are ......" Futing was a little stunned.

"Concubine Yu's cousin, Chen Kang."

Fu Ting frowned.

Yuan also narrowed his eyes.

Chen Kang hooked his lips and smiled, and made a 'please' gesture: "Fu Second Master, Fu Second Lady, please move to the Drunken Xiangju Pavilion to discuss in detail." ”

……

In the crowd, Fu Yunqing, who was dressed as a man, touched the mustache in the middle of the person, held a slender pipe between her fingertips, and took a shallow breath, just like an old fritter in a casino.

Behind her, Qi Chengyi, who was a head taller than her, had a slight sword eyebrow, staring at the woman's good looks, inhaling and spitting, rolling tobacco, quite a thousand styles, but because of his unskill, he showed another kind of coquettish and cute state.

Qi Chengyi's eyes flashed with a teasing smile.

Following Chen Kang and the others not far away, Fu Yunqing walked out of the gold shop, choking on the smoke and coughing twice: "Cough, cough, it's a coincidence today, His Royal Highness also came to visit the gambling house." ”

"Isn't it a coincidence to help the girl? As soon as I entered the gambling house with my front foot, I saw the girl standing on tiptoe and squeezing into the crowd to watch the excitement. Qi Chengyi's thin lips crossed a very faint smile, "If the girl is not good at pipes, she will pretend to be a scholar in the future, and it will be better than choking on her face and flushing." ”

He stretched out his hand: "Give me the pipe." ”

Fu Yunqing was teased and obediently handed over the pipe.

Qi Chengyi rubbed his pipe, looked at the still blush on the woman's pretty face, put it on his thin lips, bit it slightly, and spit out a circle of smoke, his movements were noble and elegant.

In the smoke, those peach blossom eyes are like cold mountains and ice lakes.

It's good-looking and beautiful, but it always makes people feel a little cold.

I don't know if it's an illusion or what, Fu Yunqing felt that he was also quite pitiful for a moment.

The mother family was wiped out, abandoned by his father in the cold palace for decades, although he was a prince, he was as humble as a mustard, bullied and despised by others, and even had a strange poison in his body since he was a child, and was often locked in an iron cage.

Even when I first met, in the cold winter wax moon, he was still wearing thin clothes that pilled.

I'm afraid that if I restore the prince's body, it must not be easy.

Seeing the woman staring at him in a daze, Qi Chengyi saw something similar to sympathy in her eyes, the corners of his lips were hooked, and a little ridicule appeared in his eyes.

Is it actually sympathizing with him?

Fu Yunqing sensed her offense and quickly withdrew her gaze.

Qi Chengyi threw away the pipe he had bitten.

The two of them followed Chen Kang and Futing Yuan into the drunken fragrance house one after the other.

Fu Yunqing was afraid that Qi Chengyi would be shy in his pocket, so he took the initiative to charter the private room next to Chen Kang.

On the other side of the private room.

Chen Kang held the teacup and gave a small toast to Futing and his wife: "I saw Fu Er Ye for the first time today, and I really saw it at first sight, and I have made up my mind with your best friend." ”

Futing said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be a ......"

Yuan's mind is more active, knowing that Fu Yunqing abolished Chen Kang a few days ago, it stands to reason that the two families should be enemies, but now Chen Kang came to the door with a pleasant face, I'm afraid it's not that simple.

After thinking about it, Yuan took off the hat veil: "It turns out that you are the son of the Chen family, a few days ago on the street, my domineering niece hurt you, I'm really sorry!" This Fu Yunqing has always been domineering and ruthless, she is supporting our family, and even I don't dare to provoke her. ”

"She hurt me, why is it Mrs. Fu's turn to apologize?" Chen Kang said, "If she doesn't respect me, forget it, and still disrespect the second lady of Fu so much?" You're her second aunt! It's not like words! Such an unscrupulous and unscrupulous person, killing his stepmother and ruining the appearance of the Nine Emperor Princes, I am really afraid that one day she will ...... you and your wife."

This is not finished.

Yuan shivered.

Seeing Yuan's heavy face, Chen Kang said again: "She even dares to kill her stepmother, what is your uncle and aunt?" ”
