Chapter 473
If you don’t need a name tag, in addition to the Flower House, the casino also has a cockfighting ring.
It's not appropriate to go to the flower house to drink in broad daylight. The flower house is not lively during the day and the girls are sleeping! If you want to go there, you have to go at night.
The cockfighting ring is a bit far away, so Qingyun can only go to the casino, which is nearby.
In addition to entertainment venues, there are also places where literati meet friends through writing or poetry. I heard that there are many such elegant places.
Qingyun didn't intend to join in the fun. She knew how much ink she had in her belly. She could memorize two ancient poems at most, so she didn't want to embarrass that person.
She also wants to save face, okay?
The big men at the casino entrance yelled at the better-dressed men when they saw them, and some even ran past them to pull them away, scaring the men who were coming and going to stop running away.
The casino business was also very good in broad daylight. Before we even reached the door, we could hear the sound of betting coming from inside.
Qingyun opened the door curtain and went in. It was smoky inside, and the smell was not pleasant. The loud and soft sounds were like demonic sounds that penetrated his ears.
Qingyun rolled his eyes, the casino was not very big and most of the gamblers were ordinary people, not a few with a few dollars.
Qingyun looked at the tables one by one. Most of the money piled up on the gambling tables were broken silver and copper plates. Silver notes were rare, but there were also jewelry. He must have stolen the jewelry of his mother-in-law.
Qingyun glanced around and squeezed towards the gambling table on the left. He didn't place a bet, but just watched from the side.
There was a young man on the table, his eyes were full of red bloodshot eyes. I don’t know whether he had red eyes due to lack of sleep or red eyes due to losing money. He stared at the jar covering the dice and shouted: "Small, small, small, small."
The eyeballs bulged out and almost came out of their sockets.
Buy and leave!
"Is there anyone else who wants to bet? Hurry up, or you won't be able to make it in time! Is there anyone who wants to raise your bet?" the dealer kept shouting.
When everyone finished placing their bets and the dealer lifted the pot, Qingyun cast a meaningful glance at the gambling table.
All bets on the big bet and the small bet lose. The dealer is the leopard and kills all.
After the banker collected the money, he continued to bet on big and small. The young man lost all his money and went through all his pockets. He didn't have a single coin. He asked the banker opposite to borrow it, but the banker ignored him.
The young man didn't want to leave, but he shamelessly occupied his seat and refused to give up. It didn't matter that the gambler next to him scolded him.
Qingyun squeezed past, causing the gambler to stagger, so he took a seat next to the young man and took out two pieces of silver, which added up to less than three taels.
"Bet the big one." Qingyun placed the broken silver on the big one.
The young man next to him glanced at him, then at the money on the gambling table, and finally couldn't hold it back, "Brother, bet small, I've been betting big a few times in a row, this time it must be small, listen to me, you're right, bet small
.”
Without waiting for Qingyun's reaction, he picked out the two pieces of silver from the pile of silver and placed them on the small table.
Qingyun: "..."
Qingyun's face twitched, "Damn it, you almost lost and lost your pants, why do you still listen to me?"
Qingyun glanced at him without saying a word, took the silver back, took out two silver tiptoes, neither the big one nor the small one, and pressed them against the leopard.
The young man's face was not very good-looking and gloomy. Maybe Qingyun had disgraced him and did not save him any face.
At the moment when the dealer opened the can, Qingyun seemed to accidentally touch the table leg with his foot, and the dice that was turned over turned over again.
"Wow, leopard."
The card came out as a leopard, and she and the dealer won.
She got back the silver she deserved. Of the pile of silver, only a few broken silver coins and a handful of copper plates belonged to the banker.
"I won." Qingyun laughed loudly, thrust the fan into the back of his neck in a show of pretentiousness, held the money in both hands, and laughed wildly, just like a gambler.
The banker's face stiffened for a moment, he kicked his companion, grinned, looked at the young man with an evil look and said: "Brother, you have good luck in gambling, you have a good start!"
The young man looked at Qingyun with the same bright eyes, glanced at the pile of money, and turned around with a flattering smile, "Brother, you can do it! You won so much money as soon as you came here. I have been in the casino for so many years, and I have never seen anyone better than you."
It’s amazing.”
It’s nice to say something that doesn’t cost money.
"Really? It's my first time here, I'm just lucky today!" Qingyun smiled, grabbed a piece of silver, and threw it casually.
The dealer opposite was rolling the dice and listening to the two people talking. When he heard that the boy was coming for the first time, his eyes flashed.
She was talking to the young man and did not pay attention to the bet. The silver ingot was thrown on the big side of the bet. The force was a bit heavy, and it rolled to the small side.
When the dealer rolls the dice, if it is big, he loses.
Qingyun was not heartbroken yet, but the young man started to cry out heartbrokenly, "Oh, what a pity, why did you just roll over? If you didn't, you would have won again."
"Yeah, why did you just roll over!" Qingyun also covered his face and jumped to his feet, sighing at his bad luck, then he grabbed a silver ingot and threw it over there.
The young man looked at the young man and his heart ached. He spent ten taels of silver in one hand and didn't use the silver as silver. He was really a young man who didn't know how to feel.
This time Qingyun won again.
The young man stared at the silver ingot that came back, and then looked at the proud young man. He swallowed nervously, bent over, and said with a flattering smile: "Brother, you are lucky today. Well, can you lend me some silver?"
, not much, just a few taels."
The young man also knew that his request was too much. The two of them didn't know each other, and they were in a casino. It was taboo to lend money to others. If it were him, he wouldn't lend it to him.
No, this was the first time this young man came here, so he gave it a try. He originally wanted to borrow ten taels, but later changed his mind.
Qingyun turned to look at him and smiled, grabbing a handful of silver coins and giving them to him, "These are auspicious words. I like hearing them. I'll borrow them!"
There are almost a dozen taels in one handful.
Next, whatever Qingyun bets, the young man will follow his bets. There are also a few bets that the young man does not follow. Some lose and win. When the two come out of the casino, Qingyun deducts the capital and wins a total of eight taels of silver. The young man pays back what he borrowed.
, won two taels of silver.
The two also developed into revolutionary comrades, and the two brothers walked out of the casino together, arm in arm.
"By the way, brother, I still don't know what your name is?" Qingyun slapped the young man's chest with the fan in his hand.
"Guo Xin, where are you, brother?" Guo Xin threw away the two taels of silver in his hand and smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes. "Today, I have benefited from brother. This is the first time I have won money. Brother, thank you!"
This brother is very lucky, and Guo Xin plans to take him to the casino a few more times.
"Guan Yun. What's the point of taking advantage of the glory or not? Who among us brothers is following the other? If you say this again, I will get angry." Qingyun yelled, holding his neck.
"Yes, yes, brother, I said the wrong thing. Don't be angry, don't be angry, and I will never see your brother again." Guo Xin slapped his mouth and begged for mercy, and Qingyun punished him.
When she heard Guo Xin's stomach growling, she realized that it was getting late and it was getting dark. She had been in the casino all afternoon.
Gambling really makes people corrupt!
"Brother, I made some unexpected fortune today. Let's go and treat you to a midnight snack." Qingyun couldn't help but said, and took Guo Xin to a restaurant.
