On the bustling street of Anhai City, the three of them walked leisurely. Cao Xiaoning and Fan Xiaoyong were holding a string of sugar gourds alone, and Xu Sansi was different from them in that he was holding two strings.

Before they went to the Molting Scales List, Yan Qing gave each of them a blue jade token representing the Blue Jade Pavilion, and then went to water the flowers, let them move freely, and go back to the Blue Jade Pavilion at night, if they were really late, it was okay not to go back.

The rules of the Blue Jade Pavilion are that there are no rules.

Those normal students who are eager to study and progress in the academy need the spur of a strict teacher, and the Blue Jade Pavilion, which is not even common for Yan Qingmian, is tantamount to an abyss for them, but for Cao Xiaoning and the others, it is like a fish in water, and it is very suitable.

Cao Xiaoning just used the Fish Courtyard as a springboard to enter the Dragon Courtyard, and he didn't need to be taught at all in terms of cultivation.

Fan Xiaoyong loves to play majestic the most, after becoming Cao Xiaoning's follower, Fan Xiaoyong just wants to learn how to appear in front of others, no matter what cultivation does not matter, not to mention that with his qualifications, even if he cultivates hard, it is useless.

Xu Sansi's mind is no longer on cultivation, he only came to the academy because his parents forced him, he prefers to read books and eat.

The Blue Jade Pavilion, which is free and loose and no one cares, is simply specially set up for these three people.

Walking on the street, because of Cao Xiaoning's existence, attracted a lot of attention, some people have been staring at Cao Xiaoning, not looking at the road and bumping into others, those who lifted the sedan curtain to see the scenery, after inadvertently seeing Cao Xiaoning, the curtain seemed to be fixed, and could not be put down anymore, even if Cao Xiaoning's back has gone away, the other party is still looking at it.

Cao Xiaoning came to Anhai City that day and went straight to the academy, but did not stay in the city, nor did he have time to enjoy the scene in the city, Xu Sansi was the same, at this time they followed Fan Xiaoyong around the street, listening to Fan Xiaoyong's introduction, only then did they have a little understanding of this Xiongcheng in the center of Yizhou.

Under the leadership of Fan Xiaoyong, they soon came to a high-rise building, flying eaves and arches, majestic and extraordinary, the archway is written with three pure gold characters, the light is flashing, showing luxury.

Most of the cultivators who stepped into it were smiling and in high spirits, and those who came out of it, although there were also beautiful faces, but more of them were crying and shaking their heads and sighing.

"This is the largest gambling house in Anhai City, and it is the largest gambling house in the entire Donglai Prefecture, some people get rich overnight here, and some people return with a mountain of gold, but in the end, there is only one winner. ”

Fan Xiaoyong said proudly: "That's me!"

"You?" Cao Xiaoning asked.

"Because the Baojin Building was opened by my family!"

Fan Xiaoyong said proudly.

Baojin Building is the most famous gambling house in Donglai Prefecture, and there is more than one, the semicolon is all over the large and small county governments in Donglai Prefecture, there are hundreds of them, it is a high-end gambling house dedicated to practitioners to gamble money and entertainment, it is one of the industries of the Fan family, this Baojin Building in Anhai City is the largest of all the Baojin Building, it is rumored that the water in a day can reach millions of spirit crystals.

It's a spirit crystal, not a spirit stone.

It can be seen that if the flowing water of hundreds of gold buildings is added up, what a terrifying number it will be. And this gold building is only one of the many industries of the Fan family, which shows how strong the financial resources of the Fan family, the richest man in Donglai Prefecture, are.

"Come with me. ”

After Fan Xiaoyong introduced him, he wanted to take Cao Xiaoning and Xu Sansi inside, but saw Xu Sansi shaking his head and saying, "My father and mother don't allow me to go to the gambling house." ”

Fan Xiaoyong was stunned, but Cao Xiaoning knew that Xu Sansi listened to his parents, and his biggest ideal was to be a quiet scholar, but because of his parents' request, he embarked on the road of cultivation, and then his parents asked him to come to the fish courtyard.

"It's coming. ”

Cao Xiaoning persuaded: "Don't worry, you don't have to gamble money to go to the gambling house, it's a big deal for you to watch us play on the sidelines." ”

Xu Sansi said with a wary face: "Then say it in advance, I'll only watch you from the sidelines, I won't play." ”

But a moment later, the Golden Building, inside the Cloud Hall.

"I'm overwhelmed!"

Xu Sansi, who was sitting on the Sic Bo table, shouted.

The dealer's slender jade hand shook the dice cup, and after a crisp and pleasant collision sound, he pressed the dice cup on the table and uncovered the dice cover, four six six, 16 points large.

Xu Sansi glanced at Cao Xiaoning and Fan Xiaoyong beside him respectively, and said excitedly: "It's so fun!

Cao Xiaoning and Fan Xiaoyong glanced at each other, and they could see the helplessness in each other's eyes.

So much so that now the two of them have a sense of guilt for turning an honest man into a gambler.

......

To enter the Baojin Building, you need to pay the entrance fee first, and then spend the spirit stone to exchange for chips, the chip is a golden jade pendant with a number on it, and you can exchange the spirit stone according to the number on the jade pendant when you come out.

The environment of Baojin Building is extraordinary, as far as the eye can see, all are enjoyable, there are a total of eight gambling halls, each with its own scenery.

For example, the 'human hall', the furnishings are convenient for ordinary gambling houses, which are roughly the same.

The 'Plum Village Hall' is full of plum blossoms, which is pleasing to the eye.

As for the 'Cloud Hall' where the three of them are now, it is a steaming cloud, a grand view, as if walking in a sea of clouds, the gambling table is a piece of Yuntai jade case, and the dealer is also a fairy dress with fluttering ribbons, which makes people feel like they are in a fairyland.

And each gambling hall has a formation to gather spirits, the aura is abundant, comparable to a cave blessed land, and there is an unlimited supply of free spirit wine and spirit fruit, so it is more of a kind of enjoyment here, and it seems that gambling money has become a bypassing activity.

Fan Xiaoyong came from his home gambling house, and he didn't need to pay the entrance fee, and asked the steward to take three jade pendants, hundreds of spirit crystals per person, and let Cao Xiaoning and Xu Sansi play casually, if they win, they will be counted, and if they lose, Fan Xiaoyong's.

At first, Xu Sansi resolutely didn't play, and only cared about eating free spirit fruits, but then he really felt that it was novel and mysterious, fun and interesting, so he couldn't help but play, and the result was out of control, and he was happier than Fan Xiaoyong and Cao Xiaoning, and won a lot of money.

There is abundant aura here, and it is always daylight, and gamblers who have no sense of time are always in a state of excitement, and will gamble tirelessly to contribute to the thick foundation of the Fan family. Cao Xiaoning and the three of them also played all afternoon, and played all kinds of games such as Pai Gow, Choosing Immortals, and Pupu before leaving the Baojin Building.

When he came out of the Baojin Building, it was already evening, and Xu Sansi, who had won a lot of money, was a little embarrassed and said, "I'll pay you back all the money, right?"

Fan Xiaoyong said: "If you win, it's yours, take it." ”

Xu Sansi said: "I feel that it is so easy to win, if everyone is like me, you will not lose money?"

"Loss?"

Fan Xiaoyong said with a smile: "Don't you notice that every time we gamble, we all have to pump, as long as the gambling time is long enough, even if we don't lose or win every hand, the chips will be quickly gone." You may win a small win, but my Fan family will never lose. ”

He continued: "Also, you think it's easy to win because the landlord doesn't dare to let my friends lose, you must know that those dealers are specially trained, and their gambling skills are superb, and it can't be easier to let you lose everything." ”

"What a profiteer!"

Cao Xiaoning couldn't help but sigh.

"It's not early, let's go to Wanzhen Lou for a meal, which is the best restaurant in Anhai City. ”

Fan Xiaoyong smiled and said, "That's also my family." ”

......

......

Before coming to Wanzhen Building, let alone seeing it, Cao Xiaoning and Xu Sansi never even thought that there would be such a big restaurant in the world.

The gate of Wanzhen Building is as wide as a dozen shops combined, and the building is 19 stories high, like a behemoth, no matter how many diners there are, it can be fitted.

With Fan Xiaoyong walking into it, at a glance, there are hundreds of tables on the first floor alone, at this moment, all of them are full, as for the second floor and above, they are all independent private rooms, and only people with prominent status can book in advance.

Wanzhen Building, taken from the meaning of "thousands of delicacies are all here", as long as you can think of the world's delicacies, there is everything here, the same as the gold building, the semicolon of the Wanzhen Building is the same as opening all over Donglaizhou, every day into the gold, the passenger flow is like a dragon. It is rumored that there are thousands of kitchen chefs in each Wan Zhen Building, which shows its huge scale.

Fan Xiaoyong took Cao Xiaoning and Xu Sansi straight to the top floor, which was exclusive to his private room. Cao Xiaoning pushed open the window and looked at the night beauty of Anhai City, and when he looked up, it seemed that he could touch the sky as soon as he raised his hand.

The landlord quickly brought in food and drinks.

The dishes are all the best dishes in Wanzhen Lou, just like the goosebump sturgeon, like the Bayu qin, the golden leopard, the crane stewed bear paw, etc., because Anhai City is close to the East China Sea, and there are all kinds of precious seafood such as Ning Yuan Ruanshan, which is jaw-dropping.

The wine is also the best wine in Wanzhenlou, Dragon Whale Yulu and Jiudan Gold Liquid, these two wines are limited every day, and they are not available to ordinary diners, and they can't drink it if they have money.

Xu Sansi's eyes were straight, and he was about to move the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, but he was pressed down by Fan Xiaoyong's chopsticks, and Fan Xiaoyong smiled evilly: "Let me ask you again, who is the little junior brother of the two of us?"

At noon in the Blue Jade Pavilion, the two argued endlessly, Fan Xiaoyong was unwilling to be a junior brother, Xu Sansi refused to let it, there was no conclusion, I didn't expect Fan Xiaoyong to take it out now, and he was obviously prepared.

Xu Sansi said: "I have already said that you are the latest to enter the pavilion, and you are a junior brother." ”

He continued to pick up vegetables, but was stopped by Fan Xiaoyong, who said: "Even so, then I won't force it." But you can't eat any of these dishes. ”

Xu Sansi was anxious and asked, "Why?"

"No why, I'm willing. Fan Xiaoyong put on a look that I was threatening you, and said, "Unless you are willing to be a junior brother, you just won't have anything to eat." ”

"If you don't eat, you don't eat. ”

Xu Sansi got up and walked out, but stopped again, looked back at the table full of delicacies, and swallowed his saliva.

Fan Xiaoyong smiled, and walked back with Xu Sansi in his arms, and persuaded: "It's just the title of a little junior brother, why do you value it so much?"

Xu Sansi was half-pushed and half-pressed back on the chair by him, Fan Xiaoyong picked up the chopsticks, stuffed them in Xu Sansi's hand, and said with a smile: "If you promise to be a little junior brother, you can not only eat as much as you like today, but you can eat for free when you come to Wanzhen Building in the future, and you can eat as much as you want, how?"

Xu Sansi's eyes lit up, looked up at this Fan Xiaoyong, and said, "One word is a certainty?"

Fan Xiaoyong patted his chest and said: "A word is a certainty!"

Xu Sansi no longer wasted a trace of time and ate a lot.

Fan Xiaoyong seized Xu Sansi's weakness, and the conspiracy finally succeeded. At this point, the three generations have finally settled, Cao Xiaoning is the senior brother, he is the second senior brother, and Xu Sansi is the junior brother.

......

The three brothers ate and drank, but Xu Sansi still moved out of his parents' advice and refused to drink, and Cao Xiaoning and Fan Xiaoyong, who were so drunk, failed to spare him, so they poured him a few sips. And after Xu Sansi tasted the taste of wine, he was like gambling in Jinlou today, and he knew the taste of eating marrow.

Not long after, a middle-aged man pushed the door in, slightly fat, in a brocade coat and hat, exuding a sense of nobility all over his body, and his narrow eyes smiled like a slit, which looked a little similar to Fan Xiaoyong.

Fan Xiaoyong asked, "Dad, why are you here?"

It turned out that this person was the richest man in Donglai Prefecture, Fan Houshan.

"Daddy heard you were eating here, so he came to see you. ”

Fan Houshan looked at Fan Xiaoyong with doting eyes, and said with a smile: "Little girl, you are really a child, how can you come here to eat, the meals in Wanzhenlou are all for outsiders, how can there be a good family?"

Cao Xiaoning was stunned for a moment, looked at the table full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and wondered what they were eating at home?

Gentian phoenix marrow?

"It's too troublesome to go home, and I happen to be playing outside with my senior brother and brother, so I'll have a casual meal. ”

Fan Xiaoyong waved his hand and introduced: "Oh yes, this is my senior brother Cao Xiaoning, and this is my junior brother Xu Sansi." ”

"Hello uncle. ”

Cao Xiaoning and Xu Sansi nodded to Fan Houshan.

"Okay, good, good, you guys!"

Fan Houshan said with a smile: "I have wronged you today, let you eat these, and let the little girl bring you to the house another day, eat something good, Ang." ”

Cao Xiaoning and Xu Sansi: "???"

The two became more and more curious, what does the richest man in Donglai eat at home on weekdays.

Fan Houshan smiled at Cao Xiaoning and said: "It turns out that you are the little Cao who leveled the record of the floating and sinking bridge today, you are really amazing, and you are really handsome, you are on par with my little girl." In the future, you and my little girl will be in the same school pavilion, but you will have to take care of it!"

Fan Houshan is well-informed, he has long known about today's academy test, and the fact that Fan Xiaoyong chose to join the Blue Jade Pavilion has already reached his ears, originally he was reluctant to Fan Xiaoyong to join the infamous Blue Jade Pavilion, but thinking that Cao Xiaoning, who has the talent of Tianjiao, is also in the Blue Jade Pavilion, he thought that Fan Xiaoyong might be able to be around Cao Xiaoning, close to Zhu Zhechi.

Of course, this is just an excuse that Fan Houshan gave himself.

The fact is that in the Fan family, Fan Xiaoyong has always been the master of his Fan Houshan, and he, who is a father, can't be the master of his son, everything is in turn to listen to Fan Xiaoyong. Since Fan Xiaoyong decided to join the Blue Jade Pavilion, he could only agree.

"Don't worry, uncle. Cao Xiaoning responded.

Fan Houshan took out two pieces of golden paper, handed them to Cao Xiaoning and Xu Sansi respectively, and said, "When we met for the first time, I didn't prepare anything, this is a little bit of a meeting gift from my uncle, you take it and buy some food, Ang." ”

Cao Xiaoning and Xu Sansi didn't dare to take it, this was the golden ticket issued by the Fan family's silver number, and the number on the paper was actually a thousand spirit crystals, is this called a little bit?

If I buy food, when will I spend it?

But in the end, Fan Houshan still forced the golden ticket to Cao Xiaoning and Xu Sansi, and then said to Fan Xiaoyong: "Little girl, you must remember to bring Xiao Cao and Xiao Xu to the house as guests another day, okay?"

Fan Xiaoyong said: "I know Dad, you can leave if there is nothing to do, don't affect our senior brothers to eat and chat." ”

"Okay, dad, let's go first, don't stop you young people from chatting. ”

Fan Houshan walked to the door, turned around and smiled: "By the way, little girl, is there enough money to spend?"

"That's enough. Fan Xiaoyong said.

Fan Houshan said: "Promise my father, don't save money, do you hear?"

"Got it, got it. Fan Xiaoyong waved his hand.

“......”

Cao Xiaoning and Xu Sansi looked at each other speechlessly.
