Silk Rhyme Building.

Lobby.

Chu Liusheng's face was flushed, and he was so excited that he rubbed his fists.

On the table in front of him, layers of chips were already piled up.

The dealer in front of him was wearing a tight uniform, raised his head, looked at him lightly from the corner of his eye, and asked, "Brother Gongzi, do you still want to open it?"

"Open, of course it's going to open!" Chu Liusheng's voice had become hoarse due to overexcitement, and his eyes burst out with a crazy light.

The dealer is no stranger to such a crazy gambler, not to mention the poor bastard who has won a lot from beginning to end but does not give a single reward.

The dealer glanced at him contemptuously and shoved three fist-sized, square-shaped jade plaques in front of him.

The three cards were steadily lined up and stopped at Chu Liusheng's table.

The dealer then presented three identical jade cards and placed them in front of him.

When Chu Liusheng saw the oncoming jade plate, his excitement immediately turned to nervousness, and beads of sweat oozed from the tip of his nose.

He looked at the dealer in front of him with a wary gaze, and the tall dealer turned his back and raised his chin with a slight disdain.

Chu Liusheng cautiously turned over his three cards, his eyes kept glancing, and he immediately pressed them when he opened a little bit.

In this way, after sneaking through his cards, he shouted at the dealer: "Change!"

The dealer lowered his head to look at him, lazily dragged out a long voice, and said: "Brother Gongzi, are you looking at the cards, after changing the cards, you will open them." ”

Chu Liusheng's forehead also oozed beads of sweat, and he couldn't help but rub his sleeves full of stains, and said loudly: "Change cards!

A hint of surprise flashed in the dealer's eyes, and he said perfunctorily: "Brother Childe is generous." ”

After that, he pushed out a card in front of him, and hit Chu Liusheng's card accurately, and stayed firmly in the position of the original card, with skillful and smooth movements.

Chu Liusheng threw the knocked cards to the dealer. The change is over, and it's time to open.

Chu Liusheng covered his card with his hand, and the wide sleeves hung down ill-fittingly, covering his hands. A look of vigilance flashed in the dealer's eyes, but then Chu Liusheng rolled up his sleeves, and the cards under his hand did not move.

The dealer couldn't help but frown and didn't speak.

Chu Liusheng closed his eyes nervously, put his hands on the cards, and chanted words in his mouth, as if he was performing some ritual of praying to the heavens.

The dealer's face couldn't help but show a look of disdain, which was not easy to show.

He looked at Chu Liusheng and said softly, "Brother Gongzi, it's time to open the cards." ”

Chu Liusheng didn't react, lowered his head, and the beads of sweat on the tip of his nose dripped on the gambling table.

"Brother Childe, it's mid-morning, and after noon, you can't bet after the auction starts. The dealer frowned and urged impatiently.

Chu Liusheng raised a thin arm, his eyes tightly closed, as if he was in pain. He stretched out a slender finger and said to the dealer, "I want to bloom a golden flower." ”

The dealer couldn't help but be stunned. Blossom is a vernacular word on the table, which means the sum of the bets placed throughout the game. If he wins this time, Chu Liusheng won't be able to take away the silver he won.

At the gambling table, most of the gamblers who have lost red-eyed want to get their money back, and most of them will end up losing their money.

The dealer looked at the young man in front of him, dressed simply, full of dust and sweat, thinking that he was just an ordinary short-term worker in Chang'an City, who came here to indulge in pleasure and fantasize that he could get rich overnight.

"Brother Childe, you have to think about it. The dealer's hand lightly rested on the card in front of him and said to Chu Liusheng.

Chu Liusheng slowly opened his eyes, looked at the dealer in front of him, a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Let's go." ”

The dealer turned over the first card in his hand, and it was engraved with a lifelike descending tiger.

Chu Liusheng also immediately turned over the first card in front of him, tattooed with a delicate Vermilion Bird.

"Brother Childe, bad luck. The dealer laughed.

Chu Liusheng's eyes were firmly fixed on the gambling table, and his breathing gradually became short.

On the second card, the dealer turned over a green dragon that was about to come out.

Chu Liusheng still opened the Vermilion Bird.

The dealer laughed lightly and said, "Congratulations to Brother Childe." ”

The last card, Chu Liusheng felt that he was about to be suffocated, and the noise around him seemed to be gone.

A group of spectators gradually gathered around the table, watching the game with interest. This poor young boy with a golden flower attracted the attention of many gamblers.

"The last piece. The corners of the dealer's mouth rose slightly, and he turned over the cards with one hand, and said to Chu Liusheng, "Good luck to Brother Gongzi." ”

Suzaku.

Chu Liusheng's hands trembled unconsciously, and his chapped lips couldn't help but tremble.

He turned over his last card in full view.

Suzaku.

"It's a pity, it's a draw, Brother Childe, it's going to be the next round. The dealer smiled and reached out to get the cards on the table.

"Wait a minute!" shouted someone at the table, "this ...... It's a hundred birds contending!"

The bystanders opened their mouths wide, their eyes widened in disbelief, and their exclamations kept ringing out.

Chu Liusheng had already expected it, he stared at the dealer, and his expression slowly changed from excitement to hideous.

The dealer also looked at the gambling table at a loss, and there were three vermilion birds neatly placed in front of Chu Liusheng.

Chu Liusheng's hoarse voice said to the dealer word by word: "You lost." ”

The others suddenly turned from surprise to envy, many people couldn't help but slap their hands, cheers kept ringing from his ears, and someone patted him on the shoulder to celebrate.

In the eyes of others, he seems to be the lucky one who has been gilded tonight.

The dealer's surprise was fleeting, and he regained his cold expression and said, "Congratulations to Brother Childe, you won a grand slam tonight." ”

The corners of Chu Liusheng's mouth grinned exaggeratedly, and he didn't say a word, which seemed to be a little incredulous.

"Dang!"

Noon is coming, and the auction of Siyun Building is about to start.

The monthly auction is the top event of the Silk Yun Building, and the entire Chang'an Street has become a situation of thousands of empty alleys, with people crowding around the Silk Yun Building, scrambling to see the scene of celebrities from all over the world gathering together.

The lobby of the Silk Yun Building suddenly poured in with a crowd of people, and the entrance was crowded for a while. People of all shapes and sizes were talking loudly, and the noise filled the hall.

Chu Liusheng had never seen such a scene, and he was a little flustered. The dealer led him away from the table, greeted the crowd, and walked to the cloister to the side.

The cloister was much quieter, and the bustling crowd was left behind. The entrance of the cloister is very narrow, and compared to the relatively wide lobby, Chu Liusheng seems to feel that he has walked out of the Silk Yun Building.

The dealer led the way in front, and Chu Liusheng behind him showed a look of bewilderment.

There are bright lanterns on both sides of the corridor, the exquisite lampshades are rusted with rare beasts, and the lamp holders are carved from expensive mahogany, Chu Liusheng is like a child who has never seen the market, and he can't help but be stunned.

There is a huge painting hanging on the wall of the cloister, the ink and blue are smeared on the soft rice paper, the mountains and rivers are shining, several families are hidden in the mountains, a red-crowned crane standing on one leg jumps on the paper, Chu Liusheng raises his head, and can't help but look dazzled.

A stamp was left on the corner of the painting, and a beautiful and neat signature was written - Chen Chen, the leader of the Praetorian Guard, who marched in the 36th year of the Chu calendar.

Chu Liusheng's head couldn't help but be a little in a trance, this name seemed to have been heard somewhere.

"This is what was left over from the auction, it is one of the few handicrafts left before the destruction of the country by Great Chu, and it is rumored that it was brought out by the royal family when they fled, and after a few hands, they were finally sold to Chang'an in their entirety. The dealer in front of him noticed Chu Liusheng's expression and turned back to him.

"Now after the war, there are not many relics of Da Chu that can be intact, very collectible, Chen Chen was also a celebrity around the King of Chu at that time, he can write and martial arts, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and also gave birth to a good skin, his family is illustrious, when Da Chu is flourishing, how many women from all over the world love him. The dealer also stopped, looked at the huge painting, and said to Chu Liusheng.

Chu Liusheng nodded solemnly and said, "Chen Chen...... I think I've heard ...... somewhere."

After hearing this, a smile appeared on the dealer's face, and said: "Chen Jiaotou is famous in all directions, you haven't heard of it, it's not normal, how many people come here to ask him to give him a pen to write poems and paintings." It's a pity that a year ago, the emperor of Chu was beheaded by the Qin people with a sword. ”

Chu Liusheng listened to the dealer's introduction and was in a trance.

"Let's go, brother, it's not too early. The dealer urged in front.

Chu Liusheng was stunned for a moment and said, "We...... Where, aren't you going to get the money?"

The dealer turned around, walked forward, and said, "What's the hurry, come with me, Brother Gongzi, our shopkeeper wants to see you." ”

Chu Liusheng looked at his back, so he had to quickly follow him, and the noise behind him gradually faded.

The further you go, the more and more things decorate the cloister. Under the reflection of the lanterns, there are masterpieces that Chu Liusheng has never seen. Chu Liusheng couldn't understand those calligraphy and paintings, but he just felt that they were valuable.

After a few turns, the cloister finally came to an end. Chu Liusheng felt a little lost, and the dealer led him to a camphor wood staircase, turned around and said, "Here, this is it." ”

With that, the dealer turned around and walked away, turning straight along the bend he had come, and disappeared without a trace.

Chu Liusheng was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he was left alone.

"Good fellow, you can't be trying to pay off, are you?" he muttered. It seems out of place for a person of his identity to come to a place like Siyun Building and get together with those big people, not to mention being taken to this mysterious place that he has never heard of. He retreated in his heart, but thinking of the white silver that he couldn't take away from the big hug he won tonight, his heart turned and looked at the staircase.

He walked up the stairs step by step, feeling more nervous than he had just been at the table.

At the end of the stairs was a vermilion door, which did not appear to be unusual. Chu Liusheng took a breath and pushed open the door.

Squeak, the scene in the room is unobstructed.
