Twenty-six, heart blooms

Walking through a straight corridor, I saw a large plaque hanging directly above a gatehouse with five big characters written on it - Xie's Arts Field.

Xie Laoliu was afraid that Zhou Xuan would not notice it, so he reminded him: "Does Mr. Zhou know who wrote this plaque?"

Zhou Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked at it. Wei Xuan's inscription was written in the lower left corner of the plaque, pretending to be amazed: "Wow, it's Wei Xiang's inscription. Your Xie family has a big backer! Although he is a salt merchant in Jinling, his family has a wealth of millions, he has no chance to meet Wei Xiang. He is so respectful."

Xie Laoliu said modestly: "Wei Xiang and my Xie family are in-laws. Although they have a good relationship, my Xie family never bullies others by relying on their power and pays attention to good neighborly and friendship. My Xie family will become rich first, which can also drive other villagers to have a common prosperity."

Zhou Xuan was sweating on his forehead. He really didn't expect that he could hear such words in Tang State!

Entering from the gatehouse, I saw that the house was entering and entering, and there were nine in total. Each entry was a large patio. The patio was surrounded by wooden houses and carved doors and windows, which were quite exquisite. Once you entered, there was a special arts venue, and the first entry was the money pavilion.

The so-called money-spreading, also known as money-spreading, was found in the Han Dynasty. Zhou Xuan also played it when he was a child. The participants first held the money and then threw it on the steps or the ground, and spread it in turn. The winner was determined by the amount of money on the front and back of the money. Women and children especially liked to play with money. Wang Jian's "Penin Ci": "When spring comes, sleeping and not combing his hair, I am lazy to travel north of the King's Garden. I sit on the jade flower stairs for a while, and win two or three pieces of money." This is a scene of concubines and palace maids winning money on their spring.

Zhou Xuan saw that the casino business was quite prosperous. There were about seven or eight pairs of people spreading money on the bluestone slabs around the patio. Some gamblers were betting with casino dealers, and some were betting with gamblers. The casino drew the winner's profits, and they drew one in five parts. These gamblers included farmers, hawkers, merchants, and porters... They all played a lot of money and won.

Xiaoqian said happily: "Son-in-law, Xiaoqian is just betting on this."

Sanchi said, "Master, I'll play two games too."

Lin Hanyun joined in the fun and shouted, "I'll come too."

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll do it too - Mr. Xie, call four dealers to come and bet with me four."

Xie Laoliu quickly called two people over, but there was not enough staff, so he called two dealers who were gambling here. The two gamblers were losing their eyes and pulled the two dealers to the side.

Xie Laoliu asked: "How much did the two of them lose?"

The two dealers replied: "A total of seven hundred documents."

Xie Laoliu said: "Give it back to them, it is important to take care of big customers." Zhou Xuan and the others are big customers, and every bet is more than fifty taels of silver. Who is patient and wins the 700-yuan price of those poor people?

Li Tao said: "Mr. Zhou, Xiaoshou will go and find my uncle first."

Zhou Xuan nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Li, don't be anxious. Don't rush to pull your uncle back and let him slowly make up his plan."

Li Tao knew that Zhou Xuan's words meant to help his uncle, so he immediately gave a deep gift, and the master and servant went in wet.

The four money-station masters at Xie's casino stood neatly, dressed uniformly and were full of energy, staring at the silver bag Lai Fu was carrying, which was so heavy.

Xie Laoliu asked: "Mr. Zhou, how do you think you are gambled? There are seven coins in total. Should copper coins be more likely to win in the front, or more likely to win in the back?"

The side with the word "copper coins" is considered the front, and the side with the engraved side is considered the reverse.

Zhou Xuan said: "There are more victories in the front, and the wins in three games will be won twice in three games. The loser will pay 50 taels of silver. The four of us will bet on 200 taels of silver, let's have a good fortune and bright silver."

Lai Fu immediately placed four ingots of fifty taels of silver on the stone railings of the patio, dazzling and dazzling.

Xie Laoliu bowed and said, "Young Master Zhou is really happy. He is worthy of being a wealthy man in Jinling. Then start a bet and check the money first."

Zhou Xuan said: "Mr. Xie, your bet bank has not yet been revealed."

Xie Lao Liu slapped his head and quickly asked the manager to get 200 taels of silver. It also placed it on the railing of the courtyard. There were 20 taels of silver and ten inciners.

Other gamblers who had money stalls stopped betting and gathered to watch this gamble of 400 taels of silver.

Zhou Xuan said: "My sister Hanyun, Xiaoqian will bet once, and the third brother will play two more." He knew that for a master like Sanchi, if nine copper coins are scattered, the front is on the front, and the back is on the back, and the back is on the back, and the third brother will be on the back. Hehe, just wait for Xie Laoliu to turn green.

When the money was started, Zhou Xuan's side first fled, and the four pairs of people took one side.

Zhou Xuan's opponent was a middle-aged thin man who handed Zhou Xuan seven coins. He had been shaken many times and was smooth and shiny.

Zhou Xuan put the money together in his palm and rummaged in his heart: "Heavenly and the earthly, I will bless me Zhou Xuan, you will definitely win." Zhou Xuan really needs blessing to play this, and it depends entirely on luck. After reciting the formula, he let out his hands with a "hi" sound, and seven copper coins rolled down the ground. After a closer look, there was no big chance of winning.

The middle-aged thin man picked up seven coins, pounded them in the palm of his hand for a while, and then sprinkled the money and saw that there were five positives and two negatives.

Zhou Xuan lost in the first game, but fortunately he won two games in three games and there was still a chance.

Zhou Xuan said to the thin man: "You can get a bump in the second game."

The thin man didn't say anything, and threw the money for a while. Six positive and one negative, and the winning chance was great. Zhou Xuan had only seven total coins to be in the first game and had the chance to enter the first game.

Zhou Xuan put the money in his palm and pounded viciously. Fairy Jingyi on the side looked at him like that and couldn't help but pursed her lips and chuckled.

Zhou Xuan recited the money-winning formula twice in a row and threw the money down. Suddenly, there were a burst of awesome sounds, and there were actually seven fronts.

Xie Laoliu laughed and said, "Young Master Zhou is so lucky, amazing! Awesome!" He said to his heart: "I have been running a casino for eight years. I have never seen anyone who is lucky. In the end, I lost all my money and went out!"

In the third game, the final game, the casino stipulates that the gambler should first get rid of the gambler. Zhou Xuanbao will make six positive and one negative. The luck is really good, it depends on what the thin guy will make?

The thin man carefully looked at the seven coins again and again, folded them in his palms, and began to pound. With one penny of his hands, the seven coins were scattered, and there was no collision between them before they fell.

The six coins are settled separately, five positive and one negative, and the last coins are still out. As long as the money is also positive, then the six positive and one negative, the dealer wins.

The last copper coin rolled to the edge of Xiahou Liusu's skirt, then fell down and twirled. Xiahou Liusu had practiced arrow techniques and had extraordinary eyesight. Although the copper coin moved very quickly, she could see that this side was the front.

"Not good, Zhou Xuan is going to lose!" Xiahou Liusu is now completely on Zhou Xuan's side. She didn't want Zhou Xuan to lose, so she immediately pretended to retreat, her skirt turned and her left foot paused. The copper coin had already weakened its speed of turning. When the skirt was blown by the wind, the stone slab was shaken, and it actually shaking and rolling again. When it fell down, it was the opposite side.

Zhou Xuan laughed and said, "Haha, I won!"

Xie Laoliu glared at the thin man and blamed him for not getting rid of the bumpy money. A copper coin rolled around.

The thin man glanced at Xiahou Liusu, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but finally didn't say anything. What could he say? Xiahou Liusu didn't touch that money, it was all his fault that he wanted to give his opponent a narrow victory, and now he regretted it.

Zhou Xuan knew it well, and came over and gently held Xiahou Liusu's hand, and said in her ear: "Liusu, good job!"

Xiahou Liusu's ears were numb and squeezed by Zhou Xuan's hot breath, and her pretty face turned red. He heard Zhou Xuan's praise, so he was so happy that he shouldn't be so happy. He thought, "What's so happy about this? I just wanted to make him trust me and finally find the secret of the secret." But her hand was held by Zhou Xuan's big hand, which made her feel so weak, as if Zhou Xuan was much stronger than her.

At this time, the other three games had already decided the winner. Xiao Xun walked over timidly and said, "Son-in-law, Xiao Xun lost, he lost fifty taels of silver."

The little girl was about to cry, and she was about to lose fifty taels of silver. In the past, Dr. Qin's annual salary was only ninety taels!

Zhou Xuan comforted, "It's okay, victory or defeat is common in military affairs, just if the son-in-law wins."

Lin Hanyun said carelessly: "Brother Zhou Xuan, I lost too. I don't have the money to do this, let's fight the goose."

Sanchi came over and said, "Master, I won."

In this way, the two sides tied in two, but Zhou Xuan and Sanchi won the 100 taels of silver to be paid to the casino one-fifth of the tap, and they went for twenty taels in vain.

Lin Hanyun shouted: "It's too unfair, too unfair, we need our money even if we draw!"

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "This is the rule of the casino. If you want to bet, you must abide by the rules. Mr. Xie, right?"

Seeing that 200 taels of silver were only twenty taels, Xie Laoliu was very dissatisfied and smiled and said, "Does Mr. Zhou still bet on the money?"

Zhou Xuan said: "Why not bet? Let my third brother bet with you. How about this bet of silver, one hundred taels of silver?"

Xie Laoliu thought to himself: "The bigger the bet, the better." He immediately appointed the first money-stopping expert in Xie's casino, the thin man who had just lost to Zhou Xuan and bet with Sanchi.

The method of Sanchihu's money is similar to that of the thin man. They do not let the copper coins collide with each other when they are scattering money, so that the whereabouts of each copper coins will not be changed.

In the first game, Sannie showed seven positives, and the thin guy also had seven positives. The rules of the casino were that the gambler and the dealer tied the game to the decisive game were considered to be the dealer win, so this first game was considered to be the draw.

In the second game, both sides had seven positives, and the suspense remained in the third game, but if it was still tied, then Sanchi would lose.

In the third game, Sannie has seven more positive ones.

The thin man, the first money-seller in Xie’s casino, was a little nervous. He had never seen such a powerful money-seller. Although he usually asked for the seven money-seller only a few, he had never experienced such a big bet and was still uneasy.

The thin man calmed down his mind and scattered the seven copper coins in his hand. One, two, three, four, five, six, and six copper coins were settled separately, and the seventh one was rotated continuously—

The thin man found it a little strange. The money had been transferred a little longer, and according to his experience, it should have been decided long ago.

The seventh money was finally decided, and the three fools won!

The thin man's face was pale and he didn't dare to look at Xie Laoliu.

Sanchi won 100 taels, and then twenty taels were pulled out. He removed the twenty taels of the last round, and only sixty taels won. It was too vague and could not satisfy Zhou Xuan's appetite at all.

"Mr. Xie, my subordinates narrowly win. Will Mr. Xie still dare to fight? This time, he adds another bet, 500 taels, if you want to lose, you will lose all of them. I will send someone back to the town to move silver." Zhou Xuan added.

Xie Laoliu looked at the thin man and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with you?"

The thin man said ashamedly: "I missed."

"Is there any confidence?"

"have!"

Xie Laoliu knew about the ability of the thin man. The thin man had 40 consecutive games, and it was rare to miss it. Since he had already missed it once, it was impossible to miss it one after another. Xie's Casino was not so lucky and said with a smile: "What's the matter that I dare not fight against this? Isn't it just five hundred taels of silver? Go and move another three hundred and forty taels of silver."

After a while, a total of 1,000 taels of silver were listed on the stone railing of the courtyard.

In the first two games, both sides each played two full positives, and the final game was the three crazy ones again.

The thin man's hands trembled, so nervous, one thousand taels of silver, how could he have thought that someone would bet so much money!

Xie Laoliu shouted: "Dry firewood, keep it steady for me!"

It turned out that this thin man was named Ganchai. Ganchai walked around the courtyard for a while, finally calmed down and started to sprinkle money. He was all six of them, but the seventh one kept turning. The thin man's heart rose to his throat and couldn't help but shouted in a trembling voice: "Zheng, Zheng, Zheng."

Lin Hanyun and Xiaoqian screamed: "Reverse! Reverse! Reverse!"

The thin man's voice was obviously beyond the control of Lin Hanyun and the others, and the copper coin was finally frozen on the back.

The thin man Ganchai was distracted for a while, pointed at Sanchi and shouted: "He is so mean, why does his feet keep shaking?"

Zhou Xuan laughed: "Everyone has his own posture, so the third brother likes to stand and shake his feet. Which rule is this in the casino? Mr. Xie, if you can't afford to lose so much, then I don't want the five hundred taels of silver. If you take it back, I will leave immediately."

Xie Laoliu quickly said, "What did Mr. Zhou say? My Xie family casino is the leading casino in the ten counties in the southeast. I can't afford to lose just 500 taels. Just put the 500 taels of silver in the same time, just put the 500 taels of silver in the future. "

Zhou Xuan praised: "Mr. Xie can really mention it and let it go. It's like doing big things. So, can you still bet on money?"
