Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan was reading a book in the study, and an elderly man who claimed to be sent by the Hua family suddenly appeared

+++++++++++++++++++

Ma Xiaoquan raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart that this old man was really sent by the Hua family, well, from the name he called Brother Tianqin, presumably this old man's status in the Hua family is not low.

"Well, Brother Tianqin has rested~"

"Oh, sleep, this useless thing, you know to sleep~" The old man scolded indifferently, and then said, "Well, you should be the child of the Ma family, okay, my old man doesn't talk nonsense, I guess that kid Tianqin has accepted your kindness, and I don't have any other meaning, just come and see, well, it's just a long night, Ma boy, either you come to play with Lao Tzu, or Lao Tzu will make a fuss about you, the chief manager's mansion." ”

Ma Xiaoquan snorted and said in surprise: "Senior, you and I have no grievances, what are you doing here?" ”

The old man grinned: "Because there is nothing to do, you say, which one do you choose?" ”

"This" Ma Xiaoquan sighed and said, "Forget it, then I'll choose the first one, you say, what to play?" ”

The old man raised his eyebrows, flipped his hand, turned out two sieve cups, and said, "Of course it's a gamble~ What, don't you dare?" ”

"What? Playing a bet? Ma Xiaoquan grinned, "Senior, are you sure you want to gamble?" ”

The old man raised his eyebrows: "What, what do you mean?" ”

"No, no, no~" Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand and said, "Then senior, please say, what are you playing?" ”

The old man snorted, rolled his eyes, and said, "You kid, how can you look at anything, okay, come here, look at me guys, what will you do~" The old man said, his sleeves flicked, only to hear a bang, and dozens of gambling equipment popped out of his cuffs.

Ma Xiaoquan took a closer look and said with a smile: "Senior, don't say it, I will do these things like you~"

"What?" The old man was stunned, reached out and picked up a bowl of gambling equipment, and asked Ma Xiaoquan, "Have you played with this thing too?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Yes, isn't this just stacking bowls~ It's more complicated to play, and people who don't have a little brain, not only can't learn, but also don't understand what it means to play." ”

"Okay~" The old man laughed, stretched out his hand and patted Ma Xiaoquan, "That's okay, then let's play this stacked bowl first"

Ma Xiaoquan snorted and said: "Senior, you can let me play with you, but you have to explain the reason, besides, you have to have a bet on this bet, otherwise what to play~"

The old man nodded: "Good boy, you are the first person to put forward conditions to the old man, okay, then you say, what is the bet between the two of us?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan thought for a while and said, "Actually, I don't know what it is, but since the predecessor is a member of the Hua family, he must know a lot of things about the Hua family." ”

"Well, yes, what's wrong?"

Ma Xiaoquan asked again: "The kid has a reluctant request, if the kid wins, please go back and tell the principal of the Hua family, let me have a chance to see the surviving classics of the Hua family."

"Books?" The old man was surprised, "What do you think are those useless things for?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "The grandmother of the Hua family in the late Han Dynasty, Hua Yuexin, was the mother of my Ma family, and the classics left by my Ma family recorded some of the past, but they were not complete, so"

"Oh, I see, you kid" The old man pointed at Ma Xiaoquan, dragging his chin and said, "If you want to see everything, you really have to ask the permission of the principal, well, but if you have a special token from the Hua family, it should be fine."

"Special tokens?" Ma Xiaoquan scratched his head, "Senior, are you talking about the Tianqin Order?" ”

"Tianqin Order? How do you know about the Heavenly Order? ”

Ma Xiaoquan spread his hands and said nonchalantly: "Brother Tianqin gave me the Tianqin Order he held." ”

"What? Hua Tianqin, this kid turned out to be speechless for a while, the old man was speechless for a while, and then shook his head and said, "Well, Tianqin Ling is the supreme token of my Hua family, and Tianqin actually gave it to you so arbitrarily"

Ma Xiaoquan said: "Don't worry too much about the seniors, I didn't take the token, but gave it to the fifth lady of your family."

"Fifth Miss?" The old man didn't react for a while.

Ma Xiaoquan didn't care too much about the old man's abnormal reaction, he nodded and said, "Yes, isn't Fifth Miss the Huayue of your Hua family~"

"Oh, you said Yue'er, hi~~" The old man waved his hand naturally, "I have been calling Yue'er since I was a child, and I haven't paid attention to Miss Five, hehe"

Ma Xiaoquan raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart: This old man doesn't even know Hua Yue's identity? Well, it's a little suspicious, but if he can tell Hua Tianqin, it proves that he still has a relationship with the Hua family, but what is the relationship?

Seeing that Ma Xiaoquan didn't speak, the old man said impatiently: "Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense, come and play, well, I think about the bet, Ma San boy, if you lose, return the Tianqin Order to our Hua family, how about it?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan said: "Of course you can, such a big power token, I'm afraid it's hot to keep it, but such a valuable thing, senior, if you can't make any decent bets, I should refuse you~"

"Hey?" The old man scratched his scalp and looked like an old naughty boy, "You stinky boy, you still have to be unforgiving, okay, in addition to the condition you just had, I'll add another one~"

"What?" Ma Xiaoquan asked with wide eyes.

The old man wiped off the jade wrench on the thumb of his right hand, put it on the desk, and said, "If you lose, this will be given to you~"

"Jade wrench?" Ma Xiaoquan pursed his lips, "Even if it's priceless, I don't want it~ and it's useless~"

"Useless? Boy, let me tell you, although this jade wrench is not as good as that day's order, you just need to go to the place where my Hua family is stationed, where you can live in the inn and eat as much as you want, hum, even the women in the kiln, you can sleep casually."

"Huh? No way? Ma Xiaoquan snorted and said, "Don't say anything else, senior, it's really a woman in the kiln who sleeps casually, how do you know?" ”

The old man smashed his mouth and said: "Nonsense, old man, I often went there when I was young~"

"Oh, so?" Ma Xiaoquan smiled and didn't speak again.

The old man reacted, stretched out his hand and slapped Ma Xiaoquan on the back of the head, and scolded: "Stinky boy, you actually set the old man's words? Are you ghostly? ”

Ma Xiaoquan scratched his head and said with a smile: "That's what you took the initiative to say, I'll just ask, hehe~~"

"Okay, less nonsense, come, bet, play stacking bowls first~"

Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Okay~ Then let's start with the seniors first~"

The old man raised his eyebrows: "Boy, whoever stacks the bowl will have the advantage first, are you sure?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan shrugged: "I see that the seniors have taken out more than a dozen kinds of gambling equipment, I think we have to play all night, no matter what, we have to play all night, so it doesn't matter who comes first and who comes later, it's a big deal to play the stacking bowl seniors to win, and I will win back later~"

"Hey, boy, the tone is not small, okay, just rush at you, I will educate you well today~ That's it, I have more than a dozen kinds of gambling equipment, let's play each of them and count them, well, a total of fifteen, just right, whoever wins any eight of them first, who wins, how about it?"

Ma Xiaoquan stretched out his hand and made an invitation, meaning senior, please start.

The old man didn't hesitate, mumbled, picked up the stacked bowls, and gently fiddled with them.

Stacking bowls this kind of gambling game is more special, simply put, is to stack the bowl with different sizes of the array, the height of the stack can also be, the stacking can also be, the process of stacking, the dealer can stop at any time to invite the player to bet, if the player bets, the player will take a small bowl stacked into the dealer has stacked the shape or height, if the player in the process of stacking the bowl, the shape collapses, then the dealer wins, on the contrary, if the player succeeds in stacking one, the dealer has to keep up with the stack and then make up for one, if the dealer fails, The player wins.

Stacking bowls this kind of gambling method, simple to say, in fact, has exceeded the concept of gambling, he not only considers the stacking technology of the two families, but also tests the mentality of the two families, after all, in the process of stacking bowls, it may collapse at any time, of course, in the process of stacking bowls, the two sides are absolutely not allowed to interfere with each other, otherwise they will be directly judged to lose

Ma Xiaoquan let the old man of the Hua family fold first, which undoubtedly gave him a big chance of winning, this kind of gambling game, the first hand is definitely more advantageous than the second hand.

Sure enough, after the old man folded nine bowls, he stopped and made a word of invitation to Ma Xiaoquan, meaning that I will fold it here, and I will leave the rest to you.

Ma Xiaoquan approached without saying a word, and he didn't dare to come out, in the face of the old man's stacked shape, he had no bottom at all, because no matter from what angle, the old man's stacked shape has tended to be perfect, that is to say, adding one more or one less will become different, and there will be a great possibility of collapse.

After watching the time of half a pillar of incense, Ma Xiaoquan finally shook his head and raised his hand to admit defeat.

The old man didn't look down on Ma Xiaoquan because he took the initiative to admit defeat, he has practiced this shape many times, and with this style, he has won a lot of people.

"Boy, you're really smart, well, okay, I won the first game, so you choose a gambling set, let's start the second game~"

Ma Xiaoquan looked at the remaining fourteen kinds of gambling equipment and chose a relatively simple pai gow.

"Pai Gow? Hehe, it's kind of interesting, boy, you're really smart, okay, then pai gow~"

The sky gradually turned white, and the bet between Ma Xiaoquan and the old man of the Hua family was also white-hot.
