Chapter 493: Gradual Progress (4K)
At noon the next day, the little beggar Richard came again.
"Little beggar, let's roll the dice again! I went back and practiced hard all night, and I will definitely win against you today! If I lose today, I'll treat you to dinner! ”
Looking at Richard in front of him, the little beggar took a step back with some fear, his back pressed against the wall, and then he remembered the ten steamed buns yesterday, thinking that although this person is a little strange, but after all, he is kind to me, so let's play with him for a day, there are still four of the ten steamed buns left yesterday, which is enough for me and Xiaozhu'er to eat.
After taking the dice and shaking it three times, he unveiled the dice cup in front of Richard, six six six, the largest of all the points!
Richard gasped, "It's a leopard up up, good fellow, little beggar, you're in luck today." But it doesn't matter, as long as I shake out a leopard, we will be even, not if I lose to you! ”
He immediately took the dice cup, held it high above his head and shook it vigorously, and there were words in his mouth, "Six, six, six, I want six!" ”
After a long while, Richard stopped his movements and carefully opened the dice cup, one by one, and it turned out to be the smallest of all the points!
Richard was annoyed: "Damn, I'm shouting six, what are you doing for me!" Or three! It's not smaller than the big and the smaller! ”
Seeing Richard's angry appearance, the little beggar suddenly laughed, and Richard immediately glared at him, "What are you laughing at!" Again! I can't believe I can't win against you today! ”
Half a day passed quickly, until it was dark, Richard did not win the little beggar even once, looked up at the sky, Richard patted the dust on his body and stood up, muttering: "Damn, it's really evil, why can't I win you, you kid's luck is really evil." ”
The little beggar squatted on the ground and wiped off the crooked handwriting on the ground, then stood up and smiled at Richard and said, "Prince Ximen, it's getting dark, and I should go back too." ”
"Wait, don't go yet, you wait here for me for a while." Richard called out to the little beggar, and then ran into the restaurant, and after a while, he walked out with two oiled paper bags, and stuffed the oiled paper bags into the little beggar's arms, "Yesterday I lost you three handfuls, and I lost you ten steamed buns, and today you don't know how many, and I can't say anything more about giving you ten steamed buns." ”
The oiled paper bag was still hot, and bursts of tempting aroma came out of the oily paper bag, making his Adam's apple flutter for a while, and he couldn't help but swallow several mouthfuls of saliva.
At the same time, outside the city.
A hurried sound of horses' hooves sounded from the trail, for a young man with a handsome face and a bright horse, followed by four or five housekeepers, the young man with a bow behind his back, and a few pheasants and rabbits hanging from his neck, apparently just returned from hunting.
Behind him, a family member drove a horse to catch up, chased after the young man and said, "Young master, it's getting dark, there is a ruined temple near here, do you think we should go to rest or go back to the city directly?" ”
The young man thought for a while, and said with a smile: "It's okay, let's go and rest." ”
When he arrived in front of the ruined temple, the young man saw a figure standing at the door from a distance, looking in the direction of Hangzhou City.
"It's a girl? How could the girl's family be here on this big night? He slowed down as he pulled the reins, and looked at the figure with a frown.
The horse gradually approached the broken temple, and the sound of the nose alarmed Xiao Zhu'er, Xiao Zhu'er was startled, turned his head to look at the young man, and the moment he saw Xiao Zhu'er, the young man held his breath, beautiful! Even the Oiran in the Qinglou is not as beautiful as the girl in front of her!
Without waiting for him to speak, Xiao Zhu'er turned around and ran into the broken temple, the young man hurriedly turned over and dismounted and chased in, but there was no Xiao Zhu'er's figure, he shook his head with a smile, turned around and walked out of the broken temple.
Jiading caught up at this time and asked repeatedly, "Young Master, what's wrong?" ”
He smiled and shook his head, "Let's go, go back to Hangzhou City directly, I suddenly don't want to rest." ”
After getting on the horse, he glanced at the rabbit at his feet, suddenly untied one and threw it at the door of the broken temple, and said loudly to the broken temple: "This rabbit has given you away!" ”
Hearing this, Jia Ding couldn't help but ask curiously: "Young master, is there someone in the broken temple?" ”
"Hmm." The young man nodded, turned his head to look at the family and said with a smile: "Ah Da, did you say that you are used to eating big fish and meat, I suddenly became interested in the wild vegetables outside the city." ”
"Young Master wants to eat wild vegetables? Then I will tell the cook tonight that he will go out of the city and come back tomorrow. ”
"it, who's going to eat that hard thing. You elm head, you won't understand what I mean. ”
At the gate of the broken temple, Xiao Zhu'er walked out of the broken temple, looked at the rabbit in front of her, and looked at the direction where the young man left, and was in a daze.
…………………………………………
For the next few days, Richard came to the little beggar every day to shake the dice, sometimes early, sometimes late, and if he came early to play more and lost more, he would buy some better food for the little beggar, such as two white chickens like that day, and if he lost less, he would buy some general, such as steamed buns, and the only thing that remained unchanged was that Richard did not win even one handful from the little beggar.
"Little Pearl, I'm back!" The little beggar walked into the broken temple with a smile and said loudly: "I tell you, I brought back meat today!" Brother Simon said what is it called... Lotus... Ah, by the way, Lotus Duck! ”
While saying that, he walked into the broken temple, and saw Xiao Zhu'er sitting in front of the Buddha statue, and there was a dead rabbit in front of him. Xiaozhu'er, you picked it up again? ”
Xiao Zhu'er nodded, and the little beggar sighed softly, "This is really strange, you can pick up rabbits at the gate of the broken temple every day for several days, what is going on?" ”
Xiao Zhu'er said softly: "It may be used by nearby hunters as tribute, after all, this is also a temple." ”
The little beggar nodded, didn't think much about the fire, skillfully skinned the rabbit and roasted it on the fire, after eating and drinking, the little beggar soon fell asleep, and whispered from time to time in his dream: "Little Zhu'er, I will soon find a life, soon..."
Xiao Zhu'er slept next to the little beggar but did not sleep, and sat up again after lying with her eyes open for a long time, glanced at the little beggar beside her, and then lowered her head and took out a box of rouge and a hairpin from under her clothes, the hairpin was very beautiful, and there were two emerald jade beads hanging at the end of the sterling silver construction.
At dawn the next day, the little beggar who still got nothing all the way came to the restaurant as usual, sighed helplessly, and came to Hangzhou City for several months, but he still didn't find even a stable job, so if it goes on, when will Xiao Zhu'er move into the city.
A laugh came from the side at this time, "Little beggar, what's wrong?" How sad to face. ”
The little beggar raised his head and glanced at Richard, who was smiling, and shook his head, "It's nothing, Brother Simon, why are you here so early today?" ”
Richard smiled and said to himself: "Let me guess, the things that can make people worry about the world are either money or women, what?" Whose girl do you have a crush on, kid? ”
"It's not." The little beggar cried and laughed: "Brother Simon, don't guess." ”
Richard smiled and said, "It's not a girl, that's money." That's right, then you don't have to bother, I'm here to find your money today! After a few days, I can see that your kid's luck is really good enough to explode, go, go with me to gamble a few times, how about the money you win? ”
When the little beggar heard this, he immediately shook his head and refused, "Don't go, gambling is a harmful thing, Brother Ximen, I advise you not to gamble." ”
Richard said with a smile: "What are you afraid of, and you don't play big, it's all a game of a few taels of silver, playing between friends, big gambling hurts your body but small gambling, pleasant." ”
The little beggar still refused, but Richard deliberately said with a straight face: "What? Don't even give me this face? ”
The little beggar sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, then I'll accompany Brother Simon to you once." ”
"That's what it sounds like." Richard smiled and put his arm around the little beggar's shoulders and walked in one direction.
Left and right went around to a secluded courtyard, after walking in, the little beggar is now full of flowers and trees in the courtyard, it is very beautiful, there is a stone table in the courtyard, and there are several young people sitting next to the table.
The little beggar breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene, he was afraid that Richard would take him to some magnificent place, and now it seems that this courtyard is ordinary, and the gambling game should be just a few taels of silver as Richard said.
What he didn't know was that the flowers and trees in this courtyard, no matter which one they were, were very valuable outside, such as the lotus flowers in the yard, the petals overlapped and stacked in a saucer-shaped, the petals were snow-white, with a little red on the edges, and the stamens were pale yellow, just like the lotus flower under the legendary Buddha.
The name of this lotus flower is called Sai Buddha's seat, which is a very precious variety of lotus flowers, and the value of this pool Sai Buddha's seat is less than 100,000 taels of silver.
"Brother Simon." Nanwang Shizi, who was sitting at the stone table, saw Richard, stood up with a smile, and when he saw the little beggar beside Richard, he couldn't help but be stunned, "Who is this?" ”
Looking at the little beggar with a nervous look in his eyes, Nanwang Shizi frowned slightly, and said in his heart, Brother Simon asked me to do a favor today and help him play a play, but what happened to this little beggar? Could it be that this scene is for this little beggar to see?
"His name is ......" Richard just wanted to introduce the little beggar next to him, then scratched his head and said with an embarrassed face: "That little beggar, what is your name?" ”
The little beggar said softly, "Qin Lie." ”
"Ah yes, Qin Lie." Richard smiled and said: "This Brother Qin was invited by me to win you today, with him, it will be difficult for you not to lose today." ”
The prince of Nanwang was taken aback by Richard's words, he flattered Richard for so many days, and called so many words of Simon Brother affectionately, but he did not exchange a word of Richard's brother, but now he calls the little beggar next to him a Qin brother, which shows that the status of the little beggar in Richard's heart is definitely not low!
Nanwang Shizi smiled quietly on his face: "Okay, then I'll wait for the performance of Brother Ximen and this little brother Qin." ”
After taking a seat, Nanwang Shizi took out a few dice cups and distributed them to others, in addition to him, Richard and Qin Lie, the other people were also the top people in Hangzhou City, and they were specially invited by Nanwang Shizi to be an actor this time.
With the start of the sound of the prince of Nanwang, everyone shook the dice cup at the same time, and Richard asked Qin Lie to do the work for him, and he sat on the side and watched.
"It's time!" After a while, Nanwang Shizi said with a smile, everyone stopped moving, and Richard quietly used his internal force at this time to pluck the dice in all the dice cups.
"Open the cup!" Nanwang Shizi said loudly again, everyone opened the dice cup at the same time, Nanwang Shizi quickly glanced at everyone's points on the table, and said with a smile: "Little Brother Qin, four six hundred and sixty-six points, win!" ”
"I lost the first game."
"The door is not smooth, bad luck, it's really bad luck."
Several other people shook their heads in remorse, and at the same time, they took out a tael of silver and handed it to Qin Lie with a painful face.
If other people who know them see this scene, they are afraid that they will even have their eyes popping out, except for Richard and Qin Lie, who are sitting at this table, the master who is not like gold and earth, a tael of silver, and even the glass of wine they usually drink is more than this.
And now, at the request of the prince of Nanwang, they have to cooperate with Richard to perform this scene.
In the next few hours, the gambling game has been going on, under the control of Richard, Qin Lie has won and lost, but he wins more and loses less, usually he has to win ten to lose that handful, and Qin Lie has more and more silver in front of him, and soon it became a silver ticket of one hundred taels.
"Haha, a bumper harvest today!" Richard smiled and picked up the silver ticket, and then took out a silver ingot and gave it to Qin Lie, "Here, your kid's dividend." You're a lucky boy. ”
Qin Lie hurriedly refused, "Brother Ximen, how can this work?" ”
"What's wrong with that? said that you two and I eight are you two and I eight. Richard stuffed the silver into Qin Lie's arms without saying anything, and said with a smile: "You let me win the silver, and I can't treat you badly, so I'll invite you to dinner today." ”
Richard then shouted, "Serve!" ”
The chef in the mansion of the prince of Nanwang came up with the dishes, six dishes and one soup, all of which were home-cooked dishes, Richard glanced at the prince of the prince of Nanwang and a few other gentlemen, and said lightly: "For the sake of a few of you who have lost the silver, let's eat together." ”
Nanwang Shizi didn't dare to say no, so he sat down obediently and picked up chopsticks. The guests and hosts enjoyed the meal, and they didn't know what the reason was, after eating, they only felt warm and indescribably comfortable.
There were still a lot of six dishes and one soup left, Qin Lie looked at the leftovers and suddenly said, "Brother Ximen, can I bring these back?" ”
"No problem." Richard smiled and nodded.
Qin Lie left with the soup and vegetables, and a few gentlemen also said goodbye and left at this time, and only after only Nanwang Shizi and Richard were left in the courtyard, Nanwang Shizi turned his head to look at Richard, and asked puzzledly: "Brother Simon, why do you want to beg for a beggar...... I was so interested in that Qin Lie, I asked us to play this scene, and I kept him to eat, using the best ingredients, but I also asked my chef to make as ordinary as possible, and you played with him for a day and won a hundred taels. This meal is 10,000 taels of silver! I can understand if he's a girl, but he's not! ”
"Ten thousand?" Richard smiled and shook his head, "In those six dishes and one soup, there is still half a Tianshan Snow Lotus and a five-hundred-year-old snow ginseng, don't ask if you shouldn't ask, it is a blessing for you to be able to eat together." ”
As he spoke, Richard glanced at the courtyard gate and smiled softly. Of course, this Tianshan Snow Lotus and Snow Ginseng are not his things, they were brought by Tianshan Tong's grandmother to nurture her future disciples and lay a foundation for the future.
"Next, it's to see if this kid can resist the temptation, if he can, this kid is probably my little junior brother."
