Chapter 18: Waiting
"Don't dare, the contemptible surname is Qian, just call me Qian. "Middle-aged people are very humble. glanced at the noisy gamblers around him, bowed his hand to Shen Yunwei, and said with a smile: "Son, please move, why don't you go to the attic to rest for a while and wait for a while, okay?"
The leper on the side came over at this time and asked, "This son's surname is Gao?"
As soon as the two sang and harmonized, it was to find out the details of Shen Yun and prepare for it.
Shen Yun didn't know. He smiled slightly, pointed outside, and said, "If you start a fortune-telling business, you will definitely be more popular than now, and my son is surnamed Gao." ”
Hearing this, the leper laughed twice and laughed at himself. And Master Qian's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes were very restrained, and he said with a smile: "It turned out to be Gao Gongzi, long admiration!
Shen Yun waved his hand again and again, and said ashamedly: "Since I came to this Fengde Town, I have often heard the name of Mr. Qian, and it is really like thunder, and it is even more fortunate to see it today." How can this son be worthy of the word Jiuyang, don't torture me. ”
After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, as if they sympathized with each other. This scene, falling in Du Shuxiang's eyes, was as straight as two smiling foxes, which made people feel cold, and couldn't help but sigh: "The wicked have their own wicked grinding, but I don't know that the fox is better." ”
The two have their own plans, and they are acting on the spot. Quickly put away the smile, Qian Zhu bowed to Shen Yun and took the lead towards the stairs.
After a while, everyone went up to the second floor, which is a circular attic, and you can clearly see the gamblers of all kinds of squares betting and throwing money, laughing when they win, and bleak about losing, which is very lively. On the roof, there are eight iron chains tied to a large chandelier, and the iron rings are decreasing layer by layer for a total of six layers, and there are forty-eight oil lamps placed on it, each with eight iron rings, with the lowest oil lamp being the largest, and decreasing in turn.
This is a very conspicuous lamp, but Shen Yun is quite curious about how to light it, whether it is to climb it with a ladder, or whether there is a master who can climb it lightly, or whether it is just an ornament.
Director Qian saw Shen Yun's confusion and explained: "There is a small device on this lamp, each oil lamp corresponds to two flints, as long as the mechanism is pulled, the flint collides and bursts out of the fire is enough to ignite." However, since the opening, it has only been used once on the first day of opening, and the main design has some mistakes, and the reserves of oil lamps can only last for half the night, and it is troublesome to change the oil, and now it can only be reduced to decoration. ”
Shen Yun understood, and then looked at the chandelier, he seemed to have a sense of understanding. The avenue is fifty, and the only one is forty-nine, this is the one who escapes, all things are born and restrained by each other, the lonely yin is not long, and the solitary yang is not born, all in this change. One is the beginning, it is fundamental, inclusive of the universe, and it is also the most difficult to find, and it is also a defect. Therefore, things cannot be perfect, there are always shortcomings, but this is also the most beautiful in the world, there is pain to know happiness, there are regrets to know to have, there is death to know life, this is life is also the future.
"Childe, the game hasn't started yet, please take a break. Director Qian pushed open the door of a side room and invited Shen Yun in.
Hearing this, he interrupted Shen Yun's thinking, waking up like a dream, but quickly entered the role, and said, "Very good, I don't know what Mr. Qian is gambling on this time?"
"Tianjiu. ”
Shen Yun didn't know, and covered it with a smile. After entering the wing, he glanced at Du Shuxiang indistinctly, and sat on the chair and closed his eyes.
"This money master, what does the gambling fairy have to do with this gambling house, why did you choose to gamble here, isn't it to deceive my son-in-law when he is young. The two lived together for half a month and knew each other very well, and when Shen Yun cast his eyes, Du Shuxiang made trouble with the money owner.
"Bold, how can you talk like this, what kind of person is Qian Juan can you question. Shen Yun said lightly.
Qian Shi, who was standing at the door, looked as usual, and said, "Childe is fine." This little brother has good eyesight, the gambling fairy is the boss behind this gambling house, and the contemptible person can guarantee with his life that this gambling game is clean and not a scam. Obviously, Shen Yun and the two sang and harmonized, so that Qian had to tell the truth, otherwise the other party would definitely not participate.
"The money owner is too worried, and if he can get the gambling Xianya, he must be a downright person, and he will take him down the door when he is tired. Shen Yun already knew what he was thinking, so he implicitly asked the other party to leave.
In this way, the money master and the leprosy both retired. At this moment, there were only Shen Yun and Du Shuxiang in the small reception room, and the two looked at each other, and then smiled, and even laughed, but they never laughed.
After laughing, the two talked quietly across the coffee table, afraid that the wall would have ears.
"What kind of gambling method is Tianjiu, do you know the black goods?" Shen Yun said.
"I only know the size of the hand, I haven't played it. Du Shuxiang just finished speaking. His eyes widened, he was very surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Boss Shen, don't you understand anything at all?"
Shen Yun smiled and said, "You come here with your ears." ”
......
"Please come in. About half an hour later, there was a knock on the door, Shen Yundao.
As the door opened, Mr. Qian came into sight, but he didn't see Leper Three, thinking that he should have been sent away. Director Qian did not enter the house, and arched his hand: "The gambling fairy has arrived, the gambling game is about to begin, and I ask the son to move." After speaking, he waited for Shen Yun to come out of the house.
"It's so good, but it's also quite dull to stay, and it's bothersome for the money owner to lead the way. Shen Yun had a convenient way, and Du Shuxiang followed behind him.
One after the other, after walking through the four rooms, Director Qian pushed open the door of the fifth room and led Shen Yun and the two inside. This is a very ordinary room, no decorations, very simple, but it also seems that a very long and wide gaming table in the room is extraordinary, this is the only utensil, almost occupying the whole room.
At this time, there were already seven people in the room, and Director Qian said to one of them: "Master Shi, Master Gao is here." "This is a man, about thirty years old, dressed in a dark green robe, he has a well-proportioned figure, a short white face, a handsome face, and a sense of nobility, standing very conspicuous with other people.
"It turns out that Gao Gongzi is here, and it is not a great honor. The contemptible surname is Shi Xiaoqian, and the friends on the rivers and lakes give a few thin noodles to call a gambling fairy. The man greeted and said loudly.
Shen Yunwei arched his hand and said: "It turns out that Your Excellency is a gambling fairy, and I often hear about it, but when I see it today, it turns out that the rumors are also false." ”
Shi Xiaoqian's face remained unchanged, with a little smile, obviously he knew that the other party still had something to do. But the other six people, including Mr. Qian, showed anger on their faces, dissatisfied with the arrogance in Shen Yun's words, if they didn't know the details, they would definitely scold.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Shen Yun smiled slightly and said: "It is rumored that Your Excellency is just a gambler, but this son has seen it with his own eyes, and he can't help but be impressed by the demeanor of the gambling immortals, which is comparable to the immortals in the sky, and it is very extraordinary." ”
Hearing this, everyone dissipated their anger, and gave birth to Shen Yun's sycophancy, which was too contradictory. Shi Xiaoqian was different, and said slowly: "Is the son praising himself or me?" If the contemptible person is an immortal, then if he can get acquainted with the immortal, the son should also be an immortal. After saying that, he laughed.
As soon as Shi Xiaoqian's words came out, everyone's feelings were different again, this was to praise everyone present, and couldn't help but feel good about Shen Yun, and felt that this boy would be a man, it turned out that someone suddenly inserted into this gambling game and made the other six people quite dissatisfied, but at this time, it disappeared in an instant.
Seeing this, Shen Yun smiled secretly, but his face was quite respectful, and he greeted everyone one by one, and for a while, all kinds of flattery in the room were endless.
This made Du Shuxiang hold back a smile, and admired Shen Yun very much, he was too smart, but there was no trace of jealousy, because they were friends, Shen Yun once said that he would never lie to his friends, and he was convinced.
"Is this little brother going with me to the back hall to rest, or is he here to watch? The Qian principal on the side asked.
Du Shuxiang said: "I'm here to accompany my son, is it okay?"
"Of course. After speaking, Mr. Qian left the room and went next door to move a chair for Du Shuxiang, and left.
After a moment of small talk, the game officially began. The eight people sat down separately, a deck of pai gow was placed on the upper seat and shuffled by Shi Xiaoqian, while Shen Yun sat directly opposite it, and Du Shuxiang squeezed next to him. The table was so large that when nine people were seated, there was room for at least two or three people in the gap left between them. This is to prevent each other from prying into each other, or some people colluding to cheat, and is a preventive measure.
At this time, Shen Yun was very excited, he was obsessed with gambling, and he didn't like it either, but this kind of excitement that seemed to be adventurous was very enjoyable. He likes this feeling, for his life is an endless adventure, the unknown of the road ahead is his motivation, there is no better moment, with the master of gambling skills, in the competition between wisdom, he has the confidence not to lose to others, because he has already laid out a game, invincible.
