Chapter 37: Dare to gamble
Cheng Chumo was very addicted to gambling, and when he heard that he was going to find a venue, his eyes lit up, and he didn't want to agree immediately. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The two teenagers pack up and embark on a journey to the casino.
"Brother!"
"Huh?"
"Do you think we can get the field back?"
"Remove that word, that's it!"
"Are you so confident?"
"It depends on how you gamble ......"
"Can you bet on polo? They have a few good horses, specially obtained from the Western Regions at a high price, and the riders are also very powerful, and there are few polo teams in the entire Chang'an that are their opponents. Cheng Chumo thought of his loss and couldn't help but be a little worried.
Han Yue stopped at his feet and asked: "Your Cheng family is also a wealthy family, isn't there a powerful polo team?" ā
"Well, there's really no ......" Cheng Chu smiled silently, slightly embarrassed and said: "Speaking of this brother, I am angry, the family used to spend money to raise a team, the horses are the BMW that my father snatched from His Majesty, and the rider is provided with good wine and meat every day, to say that this kind of treatment is top-notch in the whole Chang'an, but these grandsons are stunned and never win the competition with others." My father disliked being embarrassed, and disbanded in frustration. ā
"Then whose team do you use when you bet with them?"
"What the casino provides!"
"Okay!"
Han Yue understood, no wonder this product would lose so badly, people use their own horses, so they are naturally loyal to the master's family. Cheng Chumo used the gambling house team, and anyone could be bribed.
Thinking about it, the opposite side is stuffed with money.
He wanted to understand this, and felt that it was difficult to bet on horses, so he warned: "Since their team is powerful, then let's not bet on this with them!" ā
"Don't bet on polo?" Cheng Chu was stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "Can they agree?" ā
Han Yue snorted lightly and said lightly: "They will agree, it's not early, let's go......"
ā¦ā¦
From Tianjiazhuang to Chang'an City, about more than 20 miles, Cheng Chumo led Han Yue, and the brothers ran all the way.
But in an hour, we have already arrived at the place.
Yunyao gambling house, the first in Chang'an.
This is a mansion covering an area of several acres, two vermilion gates open to the south, one hundred and eight copper nails are shining, three white steps in front of the door, and there are two hideous statues of Pixiu standing next to them.
Gambling is really the first thing that has been difficult to avoid since ancient times, and now the Tang Dynasty has just been established, and the economy is not prosperous, but this gambling house is very lively and crowded.
Cheng Chumo was obviously a frequent visitor to the gambling house, and as soon as he entered the door, the whole person suddenly became excited, called a small guy over in a loud voice, and asked, "Are those people who gambled with grandpa still there?" ā
"Yes, yes!" The gambling house guy has flexible hands and eyes, so he naturally recognized that this was the eldest son of the prince, and said tentatively: "Master Cheng, you are here to ......"
"Especially so much nonsense, hurry up and lead the way, grandpa is looking for those grandsons to turn over the book."
"Okay, little grandpa, please ...... here" The little guy smiled all over his face, people who are engaged in the gambling industry, what they like to hear the most is that the guest says that he wants to turn the book. Although Xiaowu is not a casino owner, after all, he relies on this business to eat, and he is naturally happy to hear that someone is coming to gamble.
The more guests come, the more the casino pumps. The casino raises more, and his bounty will rise.
The little guy bowed his body to lead the way in front, and at the same time shouted inside: "The little grandfather of the Cheng family has arrived, the old rules, the heroes of the four seas are ......"
Cheng Chu smiled silently, stretched out his hand and pulled Han Yue: "Brother, let's keep up." ā
The Four Seas Haojie Hall is actually a separate small courtyard, with winding paths and elegant environment. At this time, when the lights were first on, two big red lanterns had just been hung at the entrance of the courtyard, reflecting the red around them.
Cheng Chumo was really a gambler, and he was very excited when he saw this situation: "Hahaha, the lights are not on, the gambling is not prosperous, and when I see the lantern at the door, my luck is red all night...... Brother, we've come to the right place! ā
Han Yue rolled his eyes slightly, unwilling to deal with him. Gamblers can't listen to what they say, especially superstitious gamblers.
There was a faint sound of silk and bamboo in the courtyard, mixed with the smug laughter of several young people, Cheng Chu rubbed his hands impatiently, pulled him step into the courtyard door, and shouted: "Listen to the grandchildren inside, your grandfather Cheng has turned over the book, don't hurry up to greet him." ā
As soon as the sound of silk and bamboo in the house ended, the laughter suddenly disappeared, and when he heard the door creaking, a young man pushed open the door and sneered: "Isn't this Cheng Xiaoguogong...... What's the matter, the money is ready? Want to flip the book? Okay, let's pay off the debt first......"
"!" Cheng Chu snorted silently, and his face became a little stupid.
As soon as he entered the casino, he was excited, forgetting that he still owed money to the other party, and now he was slapped in the face by a debt collector, and he couldn't get off the stage.
Han Yue suddenly laughed, he raised his feet and stood in front of Cheng Chumo, looked at the young man and said meaningfully: "Since you want to turn over the book, you will naturally prepare chips, I don't know if you dare to gamble......"
"Who are you? I'm waiting for the wealthy son to speak, and you can also interject? Are you worthy? The young man was displeased, and his chin was raised high, and he looked very proud.
"Really? I'm not worthy? Han Yue said with a smile: "No, Han Yue, it's His Majesty's newly sealed Jingyang County man, hehehe, the title is very small, which makes you laugh." Oh, by the way, I don't know how your wealthy son is knighted? I don't read much, you can say it so that we can see it. ā
"You ......" the young man's face turned red, and he gritted his teeth and snorted angrily!
It is true that he was born in a wealthy family, but he is only a concubine, and his fathers may have knighthoods, but unfortunately it is not his turn to inherit the heir. Han Yue had already inquired about this matter with Cheng Chumo, so he deliberately disgusted him.
The young man's face was flushed, but he couldn't find the words to refute it, the whole person was angry and angry, and suddenly snorted coldly, slammed the door and entered the house.
Han Yue smiled, like this kind of son-in-law, he seems to be arrogant, but in fact, he is just a gentleman, there is no ink in his stomach, and where is his opponent.
Cheng Chu silently saw that the righteous brothers had the upper hand, and he felt that his face had risen sharply, this thing laughed, stretched out his hand and pulled Han Yue, and the two brothers also entered the house.
When I entered the door, I found that there was a large table in the room, and there were five young people sitting around the table, and the person who opened the door first sat at the bottom, thinking that he was the person with the worst status.
When these people saw Cheng Chumo and Han Yue, they snorted lightly at the same time, and the young man sitting at the top said lightly: "The money was brought?" ā
Han Yue didn't wait for Cheng Chumo to answer, and said first: "There is no money, but there are a few ...... secret recipes."
"Okay, bring it."
"Yes!" Han Yue was very simple, took it directly in his arms, and then pressed his palm on the table, and with a snap, several secret recipes were pressed under his palm.
The young man's face was happy, and he hurriedly reached out to take it, but he was shocked to find that Han Yue was holding down his palm hard, and he was immediately displeased.
"What does that mean? Don't want to give? ā
Han Yue laughed: "Since you brought it, I will naturally give it!" But ......"
"But what?"
"We want to make a turnover!"
"Why?"
"I have more secret recipes...... Han Yue pressed the paper on the table with one hand, and the other hand suddenly fell into his arms again, and took out a few more pieces of paper.
The eyes of several young men lit up at the same time, and they looked at each other and nodded.
The man in the center said: "In that case, we will take the gamble." However, there is one requirement, among the secret recipes, there must be the art of iron forging. ā
"Iron forging?" Han Yue was slightly stunned.
Another young man interjected and explained: "It's the iron forging technique that can make waterwheel bearings, if you dare to bet on this secret recipe, we will agree to bet with you." ā
"I see." Han Yue smiled faintly!
He had always suspected that there was something else going on in this matter, but now he finally understood. Originally, he had always wondered how these young men could listen to Wang Lingyun's arrangement, although they were all concubines, after all, they were also children of a great family.
It turned out that the competition for the promotion of waterwheels in the imperial court was won by these few. But they couldn't build bearings, so they hit Han Yue with the idea.
Between these sons and Wang Lingyun, they just take what they need, Wang Lingyun's purpose is Huoxiang Zhengqi water and high wine, and the purpose of several of them is the waterwheel bearing.
Now that you know everything, what are you afraid of it? If you want a secret recipe, come on!
Han Yue smiled slightly, nodded and agreed.
Several young people were overjoyed, and they looked at each other, feeling very proud.
They have already bought off the gambling house, and no matter what they bet, they will win or lose.
At this point, suddenly there was a long laugh outside the door, and someone said loudly: "The man in Jingyang County gambles with a secret recipe, such an elegant thing, how about adding me Taiyuan Wang?" ā
In the midst of laughter, but seeing three more young people Shi Shiran entering the door, Han Yue looked at it and immediately smiled in his heart.
It's time to come, it's coming!
