As soon as I got back to my seat, the Kubu race began. The rules are similar to those of modern wrestling, all of them are big muscular men with big shapes, wearing white cloth shirts and narrow sleeves, and those who fall first to land lose. I don't like to watch such violent shows, just going out to have fun. Ai Lian sat across from me, relishing: "Miss, do we want to bet on Baturu to win?" There is a gambling game at the bottom, and one loses ten. ”

Baturu has the meaning of courage and heroism in Manchu, and Ailian, I and Ailian, understand Manchu.

I laughed and said, "Don't think that if he has a good name, he will definitely win, who can win the dealer!" ”

Think about it carefully, this button Cobalt Lu clan is really good at doing business, invite a vote of people to play, eat, drink and have fun, he is all-inclusive, and by the way, he makes a bet, which not only entertains distinguished guests, but also makes a sum of money from it, filling the shortfall. There was a burst of cheers all around, and Ai Lian said excitedly: "Baturu has won again!" Miss, Miss, shall we press a tael of silver? ”

Ai Lian is a girl who has signed a deed of sale, and her monthly salary is only fifty strings of copper coins, and she has to save two months without eating or drinking one or two pieces of silver. She pleaded with confidence, and I said, "The money is on you, and you will take it yourself." Her eyes lit up, and she got up and said, "The gambling table is downstairs, and the slave and maid will go back as soon as they go." ”

I nodded, Ai Lianhuan happily jumped downstairs, she was actually younger than me, only fifteen years old, with a pointed chin, clear eyes, and a very soft and thin waist, as if she would break if she pinched her. The table was full of people, and Ai Lian couldn't squeeze in, wandering around outside the crowd, stomping her feet in a hurry. Fourteen coughed deliberately twice, and Fang asked, "Do you want to help?" ”

Ai Lian turned her eyes and saw that he was as bright as a star, and said shyly and panickedly: "Fourteenth Master Wanfu." ”

Fourteen asked, "Who do you want to press?" How much silver is pressed? ”

Some guards had already evacuated the idlers, and only two people were left standing in front of the gaming table. There were mosquitoes whispering beside him, and there was a roaring noise in the distance, but Ai Lian couldn't hear anything, her feet were weak, and her brain was like paste, and she took out the silver only after half a sound, and said, "The slave bet that Baturu will win." Fourteen took the silver, and his fingertips were warm, touching her palm, like a hot soup across her spleen and stomach on a cold day.

Make a good bet, fourteen: "You don't have to call yourself a slave in the future." With that, he smiled at her and went.

The guards followed and withdrew, and the crowd rushed forward again, Ai Lian stood in the middle of the people in a daze, thinking: He, the fourteenth master, the unattainable prince, took a lot of trouble just to help me place a bet? Looking up, the figure of Fourteen Minghuang had long since disappeared, her heart was pounding, her ears were rumbling, and she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief for a long time.

No one has ever done anything for her. She also never asks people to do anything for herself.

But he did.

She walked upstairs in a trance, and no one dared to squeeze her in front of her, so she avoided one side from a distance. There are even girls pointing at her, full of admiration. When she looked at it, the girls turned their heads in embarrassment. She used to be inferior, but now she felt that she was no different from them. A little guy nodded and came over, and said, "Girl, the fourteenth master has ordered, if you still want to place a bet, just sit in your position and wave your hand downstairs, and someone will come forward to serve." You don't have to go downstairs to get the winning money to your place. ”

Ai Lian was stunned for a moment, knowing the fourteen intentions, her face flushed, and she hummed softly.
