Chapter 1 Gambling
Everyone has a name, and his name has long been forgotten. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoBecause the people in the rivers and lakes only remember him as the Streamer Child.
Graceful and radiantWhen such a man appears in front of you, can you still keep a trace of clarity in your heart?
Qi Chu was a big country in the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi Huan was deeply conscientious, and Chu Zhuang was the king of Caixiong, so his name was Qi Chu, and Qi Chu was affectionate.
It's a nameless town, but tonight it's anything but ordinary, because every place the Streamer Boy walks through will eventually be dyed with a halo, beautiful and full of mystery, not to mention that he will spend the night here.
This town is nameless near and far, so it is small and pitiful, a place that doesn't even have a name, how can it not be small? But Lan Ting spent two hours and didn't find a place for the Streamer Boy to live.
There are two requirements for the Streamer to stay overnight: first, only live in the No. 1 room of Tianzi, and second, do not spend money to live in the No. 1 room of Tianzi. When Lan Ting was first recruited by him as a follower, he felt that he was an unreasonable person after listening to these two requests. By the time he said the second sentence, Lan Ting had already determined that he was an unreasonable person. But Lan Ting was willing to be his attendant, because his second sentence said: I can pay you 100,000 taels a year.
Unreasonable means that it can't be explained by normal reasoning, so Streamer Boy is unreasonable. But this is for men, for women, Shu Lingxue said that he is very unreasonable.
Shu Lingxue is a woman, but she doesn't like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, nor does she like embroidery and lyrics, she likes to gamble.
Shaking dice, pushing pai gow, gambling money, gambling on alcohol, as long as she has anything to do with gambling, she has never lost.
On that day, Lan Ting sent a battle post for the Flowing Light Prince, inviting the gambling god Shu Lingxue to fight in the Soft Fragrance Pavilion three days later.
Shu Lingxue asked, "Bet on what?"
Lan Ting replied: "My son-in-law said that he would bet on the dice." ”
Shu Lingxue smiled: "I bet." ”
Lan Ting said: "If you win, my son-in-law will give you 100,000 taels of gold." ”
He added: "If it's a draw, you win. ”
Shu Lingxue said proudly: "Go back and ask your son-in-law to prepare 100,000 taels of gold, and I will come to the door to get it in three days." ”
Three days later, the water inside and outside the soft incense pavilion was so enclosed that even the emperor sent envoys to participate in this grand gamble. Shu Lingxue was wearing a golden butterfly feather coat, which made her snow neck whiter, with a white marble hairpin on her head, and her thrush was like a dai. When she found that there was a crowd outside the Soft Fragrance Pavilion and the door was tightly blocked, she didn't frown, pulled up her cuffs, turned her wrist, and the silver ticket of 100,000 taels fell like snowflakes. That's how she spends money, as long as she has money, she can do anything. People were busy bending down to pick up money, and they no longer cared about the beauty of Shangshu. Shu Lingxue stepped on someone else's back and walked into the Soft Fragrance Pavilion.
There are no fewer people in the soft incense pavilion than outside, Shu Lingxue smiled disdainfully, and just wanted to reach into his arms, there were still 100,000 taels of silver tickets there. At this moment, only someone coughed lightly, and the noisy crowd suddenly fell silent. Then, the man known as the Streamer Boy appeared in front of everyone, his gaze swept casually, and the crowd immediately retreated to both sides, making way for a moment. It seems that what Shu Lingxue can do with money, he can do without money, and he does it so decently and easily, without losing his demeanor.
Shu Lingxue was naturally not to be outdone, "Don't waste time, let's start." ”
Lan Ting called someone to bring a table, and he said as a referee: "Shake the dice, compare the size, the one with the largest number of points wins!"
Shu Lingxue took the sieve Gu and buckled it directly on the three ivory seeds, and everyone didn't see her shake the sieve Gu, but they heard her say, "Okay." ”
Lan Ting opened it and saw that the three dice were all six points.
Suddenly, there was a burst of admiration.
"Worthy of the God of Gambling!"
"It's so powerful, you don't even need to shake it!"
"God of Gamblers, I want to worship you as a teacher!"
Shu Lingxue looked at Qi Chu arrogantly, everyone knew that even if Qi Chu shook three sixes, it was a draw at most. A draw can be regarded as Shu Lingxue's win!
I saw that Qi Chu walked to the table in a hurry, and he didn't even take the sifting Gu. Everyone thought to themselves, could it be that the streamer boy has a more powerful stunt than the God of Gamblers?
Qi Chu said indifferently: "I admit defeat." ”
"Wow, Streamer Boy actually admitted defeat!"
The pot exploded in the house, and the streamer boy who was called "the jade flute piles the moon, and the man will win the day" actually took the initiative to admit defeat?
Lan Ting sent someone to bring the 100,000 taels of gold that had been prepared long ago.
Shu Lingxue didn't even look at it, how could she put 100,000 taels of gold in her eyes?
said generously: "This little money will be distributed to all the officials, please go to the rivers and lakes for me tomorrow to publicize it, and say that the famous streamer boy lost to me." ”
When everyone saw the money, you fought for me, and in an instant, 100,000 taels of gold were snatched up.
Shu Lingxue turned around and left, and suddenly heard Lan Ting say, "Wait." ”
"What's going on?" she turned slightly, raising her eyebrows.
Lan Ting scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot to read the last one on this battle post last time. ”
"It doesn't matter, I won anyway. ”
"No!" Lan Ting said stubbornly
Shu Lingxue saw him insisting like this, "Then you can read it." ”
Lan Ting read word by word: "The last one says that if my son-in-law loses, you will marry him and get married on the same day." ”
This time, Shu Lingxue, who won a hundred battles, was dumbfounded, but everyone watching laughed, it was not them who lost anyway. With Shu Lingxue's money, you can also eat the wedding wine of the Flowing Light Son, which is like killing two birds with one stone.
Shu Lingxue's face flushed slightly, "You are cheating!
Qi Chu said: "Admitting gambling and accepting defeat is the most basic quality that a gambler should have, don't you understand?"
Of course Shu Lingxue understands, but she is unwilling.
"If you throw in the towel, I can give up marrying you. "Qi Chu is advancing by retreating.
Everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that Shu Lingxue, the god of gambling, has not lost for many years since her debut, and it is more painful for her to admit defeat than to kill her.
"I will never admit defeat!" Shu Lingxue said with a grit of silver teeth.
So the red light on the door of the soft incense pavilion is hung high, red silk is everywhere, the scene is huge, it is estimated that tomorrow the news of the marriage of Shu Lingxue and the son of the streamer will spread all over the rivers and lakes.
Shu Lingxue phoenix crown and xia veil, beautiful and incomprehensible, a trace of loneliness between the eyebrows.
Dozens of tables were set up for the banquet, and finally they were all placed outside the Soft Fragrance Pavilion.
There was good wine and good food on the table, and everyone was staggered, and their mouths were constantly grateful.
When Qi Chu sent the guests back to the room, Shu Lingxue was gone.
There was a letter on the table that read: I promised to marry you, but I didn't say to sleep with you.
Qi Chu continued to look down, and the letter still read: I won this game. But I'm going to make another bet with you, and you will never find me!
The words are like tadpoles, and at a glance, you can see that she rarely writes on weekdays.
Qi Chu folded the letter and put it in his arms, pushed open the door and walked out.
Lan Ting leaned against the door frame, he had been waiting outside the door for a long time with his luggage on his back.
"Let's go, let's go find her. ”
When the moon was in the sky, two shadows, one long and one short, gradually disappeared into the night.
Lan Ting followed behind Childe and muttered, "Hey, Childe's daughter-in-law who was finally deceived by Childe, why did she run away?"
