Volume 2 Grievances Chapter 60 There are always unexpected things happening
The shopkeeper didn't hide it: "Hey, how can it be, the young owner said that now it is the era of using the ocean, and the silver ticket was eliminated as early as the Qing Dynasty." He gave it to you for the sake of the face of the acquaintance. There are only two of you who can use silver tickets in the small street of Qianxing, and the young owner can't get by. So, admit yourself unlucky, keep a pile of paper, and wait to be slowly devoured by the moths! ”
After speaking, the shopkeeper threw the cloth bag containing the copper coin to Hu Chuankui's old housekeeper.
Zhu Wenhua was a little curious, he untied his pocket and grabbed a large handful of copper coins from it.
was stunned for a moment, followed by cramps on his face, his mouth squirmed a few times, and he stared at Hu Chuankui's face. Seeing that he was as steady as Mount Tai and smiling, he didn't want to disturb Hu Chuankui's interest, so he swallowed back what he was about to say.
He shook his head involuntarily, looking at Hu Chuankui with a pair of eyes without any luster, and his heart was like ashes. At the same time, he sent the copper coin in his hand to Hu Chuankui so that Hu Chuankui could see it clearly. The old housekeeper didn't know that now, all that is circulating on the market is the ocean. Zhao Guodeng took the silver ticket just to collect it. Otherwise, it's a pile of waste paper.
However, today, Zhao Guodeng used copper coins to exchange for silver tickets, instead of taking out silver or the ocean as in the past, it seems that there must be something strange in this. He wanted to remind Hu Chuankui, but he didn't want to do a lot of good things. Savor it, that Hu Chuan died to save face and suffer alive. I know that I don't know anything about this line of rolling pins, but I can't let others call the shots.
You said that if the silver ticket is of great use, his sister and brother-in-law are not stupid, why should they leave the silver ticket in their house for collection, and there is no place to put it in their own house? The old housekeeper didn't know the clues, so he had to analyze it based on his own phenomenon, and he couldn't say that the old housekeeper was troublesome.
You can't underestimate Hu Chuankui, he is the kind of Xiucai who doesn't go out to know the world.
In addition to hearsay, it is still hearsay.
Before the ocean appeared, in less than a year, the silver ticket was in Zhao Guodeng's casino, as long as the road was on the road, everyone was crazy to rob it. People have real money in their hands, scrambling to grab your papyrus silver tickets, are there such stupid people in the world?
Today, this kid exchanged copper coins for Lao Tzu, and I don't know a few meanings.
Hu Chuankui, who was quiet, did not fall for a moment in the psychological activity class.
That's it!
The silver ticket is a product of the Northern Song Dynasty, this copper coin, but it has only been more than ten years in the past. If you want to consider it from the perspective of market circulation, of course, choose the currency of the era that is close. At least, Hu Chuankui at that time definitely thought so. Now that he had made a decision in his heart, he naturally acted accordingly.
So, he had an idea, pointed to the butler and instructed: "Butler, take the copper coin for Lao Tzu and exchange it for their chips." Yara is a ba, he gives me copper money, and I spend it in his casino.
Bet on Lao Tzu's copper coins in their casino, and I'm going to play enough today, hahaha...... Grandma's, who ended up playing whom, can't be counted now. If someone dares to disadmit that copper coins are also money, don't blame me Hu Chuankui for giving him Zhao Wenwen, the old boy, father and son. Including casinos and bathhouses, they were all smashed to a pulp, and he dared to play tricks in front of Lao Tzu.
Little guys, go to the inner room with me Hu Chuankui to open a separate box, sit in the village to the end, don't you refuse to hear it? So did you hear what the master said? ”
"Yes, sir!"
The old housekeeper Zhu Wenhua put cloth shoes on Hu Chuankui and helped him up from the dirt pit.
Hu Chuankui looked around, intending to see if Zhao Guodeng's kid was present. The gentleman is not ashamed to face him, Hu Chuankui is so domineering, after all, he is a tall and virtuous person, in the central village, he belongs to the elders within the three old and four young. How many people watched, learned, and imitated what they said and what they did.
As a teacher, you still have to put some gold on your face and paste a layer.
Even if you pretend to be Sven, you have to pretend to be decent and not show your feet in front of everyone.
The old housekeeper sorted out the folds of his clothes and trousers, including the upper body, the beanie, and even the inseparable civilized stick, which was scrambling to carry it to him by the family, and handed it to Hu Chuankui anytime and anywhere. In such a place, local tyrants and landlords and other characters, every time they walk out of the house from the central village, there are thugs in front of them; There was a carriage carrying Hu Chuankui and his family in the back, which was mighty and mighty, and it was not majestic along the way.
said that Hu Chuankui was swaggering through the market, but that was not entirely the case.
Because, in that era, people went out to ride in a carriage, which was a symbol of popular landlords and tyrants. What's more, those powerful people who have been officials for one term are carrying an eight-person sedan chair and walking proudly. In front of them, some people sounded gongs to open the way, and some people lined up neatly, carrying umbrellas, and were fully armed to protect them. The momentum is huge, and everywhere you go, you will wake up the world to stop and watch.
Walking with the steps that the six relatives did not recognize, Hu Chuankui only needed to move his steps, and a wine bag and rice bag behind him followed.
The private room, a separate room, is a big room specially prepared by Zhao Guodeng for the upper class. There are toilets for women and urine buckets for men, which are placed in small rooms with partitions inside. In order to provide convenience for superior people to go to the toilet, Zhao Guodeng can be regarded as struggling in this regard, wasting countless brain cells.
In the private rooms of the high-class casinos, the pai gow tables used are not lower than the mahogany tables.
As for the bench, it is naturally made of white fruit trees, and the surface is painted with tung oil.
That's for gamblers. In order to show the dignity of the banker, Zhao Guodeng deliberately arranged a particularly conspicuous Taishi chair for the person sitting in the bank. The others are not ordinary benches, but all mahogany chairs. Entering the private room, it gives people a graceful and luxurious elegance and noble atmosphere.
Entering the private room, Xiao Ran was respectful and silent, which was the consensus of everyone.
The walls around are pasted with yellow board paper to show that the outside world is impermeable and silent, giving people the luxury of a paradise that is not stained by sludge. It's just that the banners hanging on the walls are calligraphy landscapes left by literati and ink artists. It must be said that in Ruoda Casino, there are really a kind of insulting artistic conception in the setting up of such a few boxes with a scholarly atmosphere.
It is almost out of place in the entire casino, out of harmony, very different.
The difference between the floor and the living room is also different.
The living room is laid with ordinary blue bricks, while the box is a unified large bluestone floor. To say that the big bluestone at that time was almost the same value as a small piece of small cyan square brick. But the visual effect of decoration is like mud, a dragon and a pig.
Tea, there is a specially designated little maid carrying a tea kettle, light as a swallow, small and exquisite. Acting on people's faces is their housekeeping skill. Seeing the wind and making the rudder is the sight of the little maids. The little maid in the box and the little maid in the hall are like two people.
The little maid in the room was dressed thinly, with her belly exposed. Feel the thighs casually, hug and kiss casually. One by one, they were dressed up with heavy makeup, surrounded by beads. To put it explicitly, it is just to attract the visual enjoyment of distinguished guests with their voices and smiles, so as to give the guests from the box an artistic conception of imperial enjoyment.
Spend more money, and be graceful to the unworthy descendants of large families, and the children of the deacons are like plucking the hair on the body of a cow. To them, silver is like a lot of money, and it is not worth mentioning. As long as you are happy, whatever money can solve, it is not a problem.
In the room, the shopkeeper was busy.
The maids are in their places one by one, slim and elegant, and they are holding their own dicks in their hands.
There are people who help shuffle the cards, there are people who serve tea and pour water, and there are people who arrange tables, chairs and benches for guests......
In short, as long as someone comes to the private room, it will be the beginning of the pig killing plate for them. So what is a pig killing plate?
Connoisseurs, mainly the banker, caught the rich master, and tried every means to tempt him to bet.
Under normal circumstances, the target should be those unemployed vagrants who are addicted to gambling, or gamblers who are addicted to gambling.
Even if they are penniless, as long as they have a mortgage on their belongings, Zhao Guodeng's casino can sign and draw a pledge as a pawn. In other words, Zhao Guodeng is not just opening a casino, nominally their home is a casino in broad daylight, but in fact, it is a series of one-stop money laundering steps associated with casinos. If you lose the money, you will be unconvinced, and you will have to gamble, and you must have chips.
Where do the chips come from?
Needless to say, it must be from Zhao Guodeng's bookkeeper Mr. to set up a word, with the family's real estate, valuable antiques, and really no more, there are also people who exchange their wives and children for chips.
Afterwards, Zhao Guodeng transferred the notes of these people to the hooligans and ruffians in the small street of Qian Xing, so as to use them as bait to collect the huge gambling debts owed by the parties. As a result, Zhao Guodeng's income is naturally more than the meager profit of the commission dealer who opened the casino.
The gambling debts released are often the main source of economic profit for Zhaojiadun Casino, and the little maids under the door, including the little maids in Hu Chuankui's private room, are basically not recruited by Zhao Guodeng from the street. It's all the result of those gamblers selling their sons and daughters. Others don't say it, Wang Erya has eleven brothers and sisters, and there are five brothers.
It's a pity that the five brothers who are known as the God of Wealth on the Five Roads of Money Street are addicted to gambling, and they are idle all day long, relying on Zhao Guodeng's casino to earn some extra money.
Often walk by the river, how can there be no wet shoes.
In the end, he paid off his sister Wang Erya to Zhao Guodeng.
It can be said that the reason why Wang Erya is not treated by Zhao Guodeng is not because Wang Erya is not married to Ming Media, but because he paid off his debts to Zhaojiadun Casino as a wife.
The shopkeeper made Hu Chuankui's room hot, and he gave full play to his strengths, which was called handy: "Everyone, please listen to me: a big guy has met a savior today." The big landlord of the central village, Hu Chuan, didn't know what was crazy, he opened a box to do the east, but anyone who wanted to try his luck should hurry up and bet in the box. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Hu is one of the few old gamblers in the small street of Qianxing. I don't need to introduce you, the gentlemen who often patronize Zhaojiadun Casino should be familiar with Old Man Hu's tuba, right? ”
In the hall, the shopkeeper opened his throat to solicit customers for Hu Chuankui's box.
As soon as the words fell, a man dressed as a gentleman chimed in. He took off his top hat from his head, and after saluting them politely, he said, "Oh...... You're talking about the old man Hu Chuankui in the central village! The man had silver. It is said that his sister married in the old grandson family of the Ma family, and she was famous, let go of the endless glory and wealth, tilted her head, and kicked her feet to report to the underworld. All the family wealth was taken over by Hu Chuankui, which was a windfall! Go, follow me if you're not afraid of death, I'll let you gain a lot today. ”
With that, the man took the lead and walked into the private room.
Some of the people behind have heard that Hu Chuankui is a big landowner, and the rest don't know much about this person.
In the midst of hesitation, the shopkeeper took the opportunity to agitate and said: "Yes, yes, yes, that old man Hu personally came to Qianxing Street to gamble with everyone to meet friends, and make friends all over the world." Please rest assured, Mr. Hu lacks everything, but the only thing that is not lacking is the ocean. If you don't believe the second child of my shop, you might as well go to the private room to meet Old Man Hu for a while. However, you can't underestimate Old Man Hu's old-fashioned figure, lose money, don't look down on your young lady's shouting, hahaha......"
The towel that the shopkeeper was holding in the second-hand was thrown to the shoulder behind him, and anyone who saw it knew that it was the shopkeeper's signature move, with a wave of his big sleeves, he shook his head and walked away.
There really is a master, there is a man.
The shopkeeper has a decent signature move, which is exactly the same as his owner Zhao Guodeng, and it is not the same.
The living room was noisy and muttering, "Big, big, big...... Small, small, small......"
The shouts of the gamblers were deafening, but fortunately, the roof of Zhao Guodeng's house was a brick structure, if it was a thatched house like Ma Shukui's reed beach, it was estimated that it was ready to be overturned to the ground with noisy voices.
Wang Erya was in charge of his mill and the raising of livestock.
Don't get me wrong.
How could she, Wang Erya, do it herself?
She is holding a banana fan in her hand, wearing a cheongsam with flowers, and she is wearing a small and delicate waist, and Niu Niu Gajia is pointing. "Little flower, you see that you can't catch up with the legs and feet of the little donkey when you add wheat to the millstone. Boom, boom, boom...... My mother, my mother is anxious for you. Do you have duck eggs at your feet? So carelessly.
It's not that my little slave can't look down on idlers, it's just that the little slave is worried that your legs and feet are slow, and your hands can't keep up with the speed of the grinding plate......
When the time comes, it's not that my Wang Erya didn't remind me! The second is that you are stealing wheat from the dustpan, slowly, girl, you are not holding an embroidery needle, but you are going to add wheat grains to the grinding plate in front of the little donkey.
Otherwise, the little donkey will hate you! It worked hard to be blindfolded by you, accompanied you around, you gave it an empty grinder, and it was laborious and time-consuming, and I didn't hate you to death, count me Wang Erya fart. Little girl, since she came over with a debt, she has to accept her fate and know if she is not. It's only your family that you don't look at it, and you can't blame others.
Besides, your legs and feet are walking like a little girl, ah, how the little slave family looks at you, you walk like a duck egg in the crotch of your legs, so careful, clucking......"
Wang Erya spoke energetically.
Ma Shukui didn't know when he slowly approached Wang Erya from behind.
The little maid who rushed in front of the little donkey and added wheat grains to the mill in an instant came face to face with Ma Shukui.
Seeing Ma Shukui waving his hand at her with a hippie smile, the little girl wanted to laugh, but when she saw Wang Erya's teasing demeanor towards her, the little girl was angry and determined not to remind Wang Erya. Yara, you are unkind to me, don't blame me for being unjust to you, and this unfortunate person suffers today.
Simply, the little maid turned her face and pretended not to see anything.
Ma Shukui aimed at his waist step by step, secretly took advantage of Wang Erya's unpreparedness, and hugged Wang Erya tightly with a swoop.
That Wang Erya was making fun of the little maid in the mill, and suddenly she was hugged from behind, how could she withstand such a fright.
"Ah......h
Seeing that Ma Shukui still didn't let go, Wang Erya finally made up his mind.
She was thinking: Who? Dare to insult my Wang Erya in Zhaojiadun Casino? Grandma's, it must have eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall. She tried her best to think about who the person who hugged her from behind would be, and this family would have such the courage to catch up under the blue sky and white sun and hold her by the waist in front of people?
Could it be that the damn enemy Zhao Guodeng?
No way!
That kid has never been gentle to herself since she was repaid to Zhaojiadun Casino.
"Kill a thousand knives, let go of the old lady. In front of people, you hugged me, shame the slave family! Shame on the slave family, let go of the old lady's hand, let go of the hand......"
Wang Erya shouted hoarsely, she thought that nine times out of ten, it was Zhao Guodeng who broke the tendon in his brain, so he dared to be disrespectful to herself in front of the little maid in broad daylight. Otherwise, in Wang Erya's impression, no one dares to approach him so closely. Therefore, he dared to shout boldly. Her shout scared Ma Shukui out of a cold sweat.
"Smack", Ma Shukui let go of his hand.
"Don't, don't scream! Calling your man, I'm Ma Shukui, I'm nothing, you're going to suffer! Anyway, he Zhao Guodeng has divorced you, how about we Ma Shukui accept you as a second grandmother? Hey, hey, hey......"
Ma Shukui didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he had to lower his voice and snicker.
As soon as Wang Erya heard Ma Shukui's three words, she "chuckled" in her heart.
Grandma's, this killing a thousand knives has to be done in front of me in front of the little maid, and it's not taboo, it's too bad to give yourself a man's face! Isn't he afraid of the little maid spreading out?
"Well, you kill a thousand knives, how long has it been since you came to see someone? Is there a little slut like Sun Yujuan, and a new person has forgotten the old one! I want to die slaves, I want to die slaves. Hmmm......"
Wang Erya forgot that the little maid and the little donkey were in the mill, and the impulse made Wang Erya forgetful.
Her delicate legs went limp, and she slowly spread them to the ground.
Ma Shukui knew that she was coquettish, so he looked left and right, picked up Wang Erya and went straight to the firewood pile behind the mill......
