Chapter 692: The Gamble of the Gambling Country

"It's a mule or a horse, pull it out for a walk, you don't know. Lina said with a smile.

"The princess is right. Brother, it's a mule or a horse, let's pull it out for a walk? Don't keep talking about it on paper!"

"Get the ball!" Xin Ran shouted unequivocally. On the spot, he performed extraordinary ball skills.

Let's say that the people of the Wuji Empire are addicted to gambling. Gambling at every turn, gambling on nothing, gambling on everyone. The literati are playing chess and wine, and the market is close to shopping. Sons and grandsons, ruffians and scoundrels, then fight birds and insects......

??? The so-called what is above will be left by the people. To put it in layman's terms, it is "King Wu is good at fencing, and the people have many scars", "The king of Chu has a thin waist, and all the women of the country are starving to death".

To make it clear, the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked.

Because, the royal family of the Wuji Empire is extremely easy to gamble. Among them, there is an emperor who is even more gambling. In later generations, there was a classic saying: "If you lose or win, you must win!"

When gambling on red eyes, it really asks for money, and you don't want to give it. The size of the fist is based on winning or losing.

This lord's most famous gamble is to lose Taihua Mountain to the famous sleeping fairy Chen Laozu.

Literati hackers have a saying: "Carving candles knows nothing, and striving to be the first is not refined." This picture forgets me, why bother winning or losing. The gambling villa is profitable, and the burning bag is also famous. It's better to look at each other and laugh, and chant two or three times. ”

There are special organizations such as "rich and poor gambling money clubs" among the people, and there are special casinos: cabinet shops. It is equivalent to the lottery agency of later generations.

In Tianzhou City alone, there are more than 100 well-known cabinet shops, recruiting soldiers and civilians to gamble. Win or lose the bet.

??? Due to the complicated procedures such as juju, shuanglu, color selection, horse fighting, red removal, ringing, etc., or the need to use a map when gambling, it is generally popular in the upper class. The more popular among the people are all kinds of fighting and fighting. The main fighting scenes are quail fighting, duck fighting, goose fighting, cockfighting, etc.?

?? But the most popular way of gambling among the people is: Guan Pu. Because of this type of gambling, it is simple and easy to do, suitable for all ages. Therefore, it is all the rage.

To this end, the Wuji Empire "conformed to the will of the people" and ordered the three major festivals of New Year's Day, Winter Solstice, and Cold Food every year to indulge the people.

"Tianzhou Menghualu" records: On the first day of the first lunar month, the Zhongzhou Mansion released the customs for three days.

Shishu congratulated each other since early in the morning, and the alleys used food to move the fruit and charcoal, and the song called Guan Pu.

For example, Mahang, Panlou Street, outside the Song Gate of the East of the State, outside the Liangmen Gate of the West of the State, outside the Fengqiu Gate of the North of the State, and the south of the State, all have colorful sheds, paving crown combs, pearls, heads, clothes, flowers, collar wipes, boots and shoes, and playing well. All kinds of items can be turned off.

There are also small people, even if they are poor, they must also clean their clothes and give them wine. There are also: to the evening, the women of the noble family indulge in gambling, enter the market to watch, enter the market store to drink and feast, accustomed to the habit, do not laugh at each other.

In order to meet the people's Guan Pu **, every March, the Emperor's Jinming Chi Qionglin Yuan is also open to the people, and the people Guan Pu is also open. There are: The corridors of the upper and lower halls are all closed to the money, food, and entertainment artists, and they are listed left and right. On both sides of the bridge, use clay pots, throw money inside, and close the money, clothes, and messengers. Tourists are still going, and the lotus cover looks at each other.

However, there are some that ordinary people can do: there are those who fight 30 wat with one wat and 30 wat wat blows.

Even the chariots and horses, the houses, the singers, and the dancing girls all pounced on them at a price.

That's it, it's not enough. Shengdou Xiaomin is to expand Guan Pu to all aspects of life. Watermelons, melons, persimmons, loquat and other melons and fruits can be sold by betting, and the professional term is called "selling it" or "selling it". It is a small gamble by throwing copper coins, shaking lots, throwing darts, etc., and if you win, you can buy fruit with very little money, and if you lose, you will get nothing but pay the seller, or you can only buy things that are much more expensive than the market price.

To throw a copper coin is to take one or several copper coins and throw them on the ground.

The copper coin used to throw is called "head money", the head money is sometimes only used for one, sometimes three pieces are thrown together, sometimes four, six pieces or even eight pieces are thrown together, of which three pieces are called "three stars", four pieces are called "four stalls", six pieces are called "six percent" and eight pieces are called "eight seven".

Several pieces are thrown together, if they are all "forks" or all "fast", they are called "muddy", and "forks" and "fast" are called "backs".

Generally, "muddy" is to win, "back" is to lose, and all "back" is miserable.

Drawing a lot is no more complicated than throwing a copper coin. Put a small bamboo stick in the stick, engraved with numbers, from 0 to 9, shake three in a row, if the number on the three bamboo sticks adds up to more than 15, for winning, otherwise for losing.

Throwing darts is the most fun, a large disc, on the painting of sixty-four hexagrams, each hexagram is pasted with a small animal, each small animal is the size of a soybean grain. When selling, the gossip disc rotates at high speed, throwing a penny once, hitting two darts for two pennies, fair trade, and no bullying!

As a Tianzhou person who gambles everywhere and everything is not gambling, the fanatical Keju is even more in the big gamble, special betting, and wild gambling. Wherever there are people and places with juju, juju and chuiwan, there are "counters" set up by the "rich and poor gambling money clubs" to collect bets and control winning and losing.

In particular, there are dedicated cabinet shops in the vicinity of the famous Kemari Plant.

Although the Golden Leopard Circle Club is a third-rate football club in Tianzhou City, and its location is a little remote, there are still counters opened by the Rich and Poor Gambling Society, which are responsible for selling tickets and collecting bets.

And the flow of people is not low because of the remoteness of the location. Although it is not crowded with people, it is also very lively. The clamor of selling snacks is even more booming.

It was early afternoon, and the sky was falling with scattered light snow.

In the light snow, a team of gorgeously dressed and wealthy Hu people came to the Golden Leopard Circle Society.

More than a dozen majestic Hu warriors surrounded a few Hu women.

Two of them, Hu Nu, were apparently chieftains. These two bearded girls, one is seventeen or eighteen years old, and the other is thirteen or fourteen years old. The dressed flowers and branches are showing, and the flowers are bright and dazzling. While the group was walking, the two bearded girls were pointing around, full of interest, looking like a tourist.

Seeing the Golden Leopard Circle, the two bearded girls seemed very interested. Go straight inside.

A guy who sold tickets hurriedly said: "Guest officer, guest officer, you have to buy a ticket to see the kick." You haven't bought a ticket yet, so you can't go in. ”

A majestic Huren warrior rushed to the ticket gate in one step, pointed at the guy, and shouted rudely and arrogantly: "Bold! What are you, who dare to shout indiscriminately at the two noble princesses of our Great Qin Kingdom?"

"Ah, it's the princess of Daqin who has arrived. I'm sorry, the little ones shouldn't be yelling!"

After the guy apologized, he said without humility or arrogance: "Please buy tickets before entering." ”

"These are the two princesses of the Great Qin Kingdom, don't you understand?" said the warrior arrogantly.
