Chapter 92 Snake
I have to say that time and cicadas are very moral.
It kept chirping (of course only Gao Yu could hear the cicadas), showing its desire for the ancient sword. However, it did not absorb it, but waited for Gao Yu to take the ancient sword for himself. Because according to Gao Yu's understanding, if he could not own the ancient sword, the time cicadas would not absorb it. Gao Yu was really distressed, and this guy was definitely a money-spending person.
This sword should be an antique!
But the question is how to take it for yourself?
This is a gift from Gao Yaofu to Gao Qiu. If Gao Yu asks for it, Gao Qiu will never be stingy.
But, this face problem...
"The Fourth Brother, what do you think of this sword?"
Gao Yaofu felt more and more proud when he saw Gao Yu holding the sword in his hand and pondering.
He smiled and said, "The Fourth Brother doesn't know that this Tengshou Sword is worth 800 stagnant and is one of the treasures in Zhenbaofang.
If I hadn't gone, Zhenbaofang wouldn't be sold.
It is said that this sword was built by Wang Mang of the Western Han Dynasty. It can cut iron like mud, kill people without blood, and it is a sword on the ground."
Gao Yaofu's smile contained sarcasm.
But his back was facing Gao Qiu, so only Gao Yu saw it.
"What do you think this sword is called?"
"Tengshe!"
Gao Yu originally thought about how to take it from Gao Qiu's hand openly without losing Gao Yaofu's face.
But this guy repeatedly provoked him, which made him feel unhappy.
Brows, frowning.
A look of worry appeared on his face.
Gao Qiu was drinking, but when he saw Gao Yu's appearance, he was stunned.
"Fourth brother, why are you worried?"
"This sword is indeed a good sword."
Gao Yaofu said: "There are eight hundred stakes, of course it is a good sword. Do you still need to say it?"
"It's just this sword, it seems to be ominous."
"You're talking nonsense!"
When Gao Yaofu heard this, he was startled and shouted loudly: "How can such a sword be ominous?"
While saying that, he secretly looked at Gao Qiu. Sure enough, Gao Qiu's face turned gloomy and seemed a little unhappy.
Gao Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Don't panic, third brother, I'm just...
My father should know that the master who adopted me was a Taoist sect, who was proficient in the art of Qimen Dunjia, and had great magical powers. The child was dull and could not learn the master's true skills, but he also knew one or two things in ordinary divination and deduction. The teng snake was responsible for false and strange things, and also for prison disasters. The things it represented include snakes, pythons, gods, monsters, immortals, monsters, strange things, strange things, represent fine and long things, and crooked things... and the snake was bound and surrounded by the appearance, which represented a prison disaster."
Gao Qiu heard this and shivered and looked at Gao Yaofu.
Gao Yaofu suddenly panicked and said loudly: "Don't listen to the little Si's nonsense, how could a child harm his father?
He, he, must be jealous of the child, so he said such ridiculous words."
Gao Yu shrugged his shoulders and put down the sword.
He sang a fat silence and said, "What my father said is the common sense that is well-known in the Taoist sect.
If the father doesn't believe it, he can just find a master of the court, or ask the disciples of the Taoist sect to see if the child is making it up."
"Father……"
Gao Yaofu was anxious and hurriedly took a step forward to argue.
But Gao Qiu shouted angrily, "Shut up!"
He stood up, looked at Gao Yu, and then looked at Gao Yaofu.
Gao Qiu naturally believed that Gao Yaofu would not harm him. But he also knew that Gao Yu did follow a Taoist priest in his early years to practice.
I think this theory of Tengshe cannot be false.
After all, if you ask a Taoist priest for this kind of thing, you can ask for clues and you can't make false.
I can only say that Gao Yaofu may have been deceived!
I felt like eating a fly in my heart. I used to be happy that Gao Yao gave the gift, but now I feel particularly unlucky.
"The third brother just said, I bought this sword for 800 stakes, where did you get the money?"
"baby……"
Gao Qiu's words also reminded Lin family on the side.
She also asked in confusion: "Stop the anger of the official, the third brother made money today, so he bought a gift and came back.
But third brother, how much money did you make? In addition, the gifts from you and your aunt are probably worth a thousand entries. You shouldn’t have been cheated.”
Gao Qiu felt a sudden heart when he heard this.
His eyes narrowed into slits and looked at Gao Yaofu.
He loves money, but he cherishes his life even more... From Gao Yaofu's incident, he keenly noticed something strange and immediately became vigilant.
"San brother is very capable, tell me, where did the money come from?"
Thousands of guan are by no means a small number.
For Gao Qiu, there are not many thousand guan, but it represents a certain danger, and he has to be careful.
Gao Yaofu's face turned pale and hesitated, not knowing how to answer.
Gao Yu stepped aside, looked at Gao Xiaomei, and signaled her not to talk.
"explain!"
Gao Qiu shouted sternly.
Gao Yaofu trembled and said, "Don't calm down, the child gets the money to play tooth cards with others."
Tooth cards, also known as Xuanhe cards, are a domino gambling game.
This is a game that combines the elegant play characteristics of dice, poetry board, poetry card and other games that were popular in the Tang and Song dynasties. It was invented by today's officials and was initially popular in the palace. Later, it was spread out of the palace by chance and quickly became popular in the city of Bianliang, becoming the most popular and popular in the daily life of the officials and officials.
Cards are made of ivory, so they are called tooth cards.
Also, because this game became popular in the first year of Xuanhe, some people call it Xuanhe Card.
There are thirty-two tooth cards and 227 poems. They are arranged according to the stars. The gameplay is extremely complicated, but it is also very interesting.
With the elegant habits of Song Huizong, the game will naturally be extremely elegant.
However, after being promoted to the market, this elegant game quickly became a pure gambling method. Because the gameplay is complicated, it still needs to be calculated during the game. Ordinary people will lose all of it when playing it rashly.
Of course Gao Qiu has played tooth cards, and he has played very well.
So after hearing Gao Yaofu say that he made money by playing tooth cards, his face became even more gloomy.
"The third brother has such skills. Can you earn a thousand guan with tooth cards? It's a good method!"
He gritted his teeth and said to Gao Yaofu.
As one of the founders of Tooth Card, Gao Qiu accompanied him throughout the whole process when Song Huizong invented this kind of game. However, at that time, Song Huizong did not ascend the throne and lived in Duan Wang Mansion. Later, this game became popular and turned into a gambling game, Gao Qiu also paid attention to it and knew that if you want to play such a game, you must have strong computing power.
By luck?
If you can win a thousand guan by luck, it only means that there must be a problem here!
Gao Qiu was able to hold a high position, and his favor has remained popular for so many years, but it was not just achieved by flattery. Yes, he knew nothing about military talent. He was able to make contributions in the northwest back then because of Liu Zhongwu's ability... But in other aspects, he was very alert and could distinguish between the severity. Gao Yaofu's matter was obviously abnormal.
Is Tengshe Lord a prison disaster?
Gao Qiu took a breath of cold air and looked at Gao Yu.
