Ma Xiaoquan nodded and gave a thumbs up to Geshu Liushui: "Brother Liushui is very thoughtful and really talented. Yes, I did see some clues in my seven questions, but I'm just like you, I can't understand either."
What, but I think these words..." Ma Xiaoquan stuck out his tongue and almost said the word "mother", "These words must have other meanings, but... I think
Excuse me, brothers, how much of this yellow paper do you still have?"
Ge Shuxingyun frowned and said: "There are others, but because the price is too expensive, we only bought one of them."
"So how many similar yellow papers are there in total?"
Ge Shu Xingyun held his forehead and thought for a while, then said: "There are five in total."
"Five pieces, you bought one, and there are four others, who bought them?"
Ge Shu Xingyun and his brother looked at each other, and then both brothers shook their heads.
Ma Xiaoquan dragged his chin, thought for a moment and said, "You don't know either, so... well, does anyone know about the gambling guys down there?"
Song Shuliu Shui said: "When my brother and I bought this yellow paper, there were a few people present. Those five people who bought it must have seen it. Among those who saw it, there was one person below...
....”
"I saw it..." Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly, "Yes~" After saying that, Ma Xiaoquan clapped his hands, pushed open the door and said, "Let's go down."
"Go down? What are you going down for?"
Ma Xiaoquan relaxed his shoulders: "Of course it's gambling..."
"Gambling money?" Brothers Geshu looked at each other and smiled bitterly, "Brother Ma, this... Actually, the money we brought from this trip has already been..."
Ma Xiaoquan secretly rejoiced, thinking that you two brothers are mysterious and have no reason to show me the yellow paper. It seems that you think I am generous. Hum, if you take out the yellow paper and let me see it, it means that I owe you now.
A favor... hmph, and if you take the opportunity to borrow money from me again, I won't refuse. Hmm, I, Ma Xiaoquan, am not someone who owes favors to others casually. If I owe you a favor, you two brothers owe it to me.
Thinking of this, Ma Xiaoquan laughed, reached out and patted the two of them on the shoulders, saying: "Money, I have it. Let the three of us go down and play. If you win, it's yours, if you lose, it's mine."
"This..." Brothers Geshu looked at each other. Although that was what they were thinking, they did not dare to express it openly.
"Hey, you regard me, Ma Laosi, as a friend, and I also regard you as a friend. If you tell me such good news, I should also give you some benefits. Let's reciprocate in courtesy, right...
Hey, you two, don't bother me, I asked Miss Luo'er, you two have been eating ordinary food these two days, so I wonder if you two have no money?"
After being told by Ma Xiaoquan at a glance, Brother Geshu lowered his head in embarrassment.
In fact, before coming to the Beiming Family, the Geshu brothers were still rich, but because they fell in love with a few calligraphy and paintings, they spent most of their money. The audition fee was sixty taels for the two of them.
It was almost most of their remaining expenses, plus staying in hotels, eating and drinking tea, etc., the brothers' pockets were almost empty.
"Okay, okay, you two don't get entangled. I'm really sorry, just write me an IOU, okay? You can pay me back when you have money."
Ge Shuxingyun raised his head and asked with twinkling eyes: "Brother Ma, we actually don't know each other. If Brother Ma lends money to us brothers, aren't you afraid that we won't acknowledge the debt afterwards or simply won't see you?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said: "As for me, I have been around for a long time and have met a lot of people. I believe you two brothers are not such people. You must be the kind of people with very strict family rules. No matter what you owe others,
The kind of big family that must pay me back! Besides, if you really don’t want to pay me back, it doesn’t matter. I’m out and about, and I’ve seen a lot of people. If I lose a little money, I should just take it as a lesson, right?
"
Ma Xiaoquan's words made the two of them a little embarrassed, but Ma Xiaoquan was right. They were indeed a big family, a new hermit family - the Songs and Books family.
"Come on, friends, here is one thousand taels. You two take it first. If it is not enough, I still have some here. Come on, let's go down and play. Remember, we must find a way to get the other four, so that we can show up now.
The secret within.”
Brother Geshu took the two 500-tael silver notes handed over by Ma Xiaoquan, and felt excited. This money from Ma Laosi was really easy to cheat.
...
In the lobby on the first floor, a group of young masters were shouting and playing gambling with their banknotes, silver ingots and broken silver. When they saw Ma Xiaoquan and three others coming down, everyone laughed and said, "Hey, you three finally came down. We thought you were coming in."
You won the second choice, don’t you want to play with those of us who were brushed off?”
Ma Xiaoquan laughed: "What the hell, the three of us are just lucky. Besides, I don't know who my second choice will be tomorrow."
"Haha, okay, don't talk nonsense, come on, let's play big and small here, and there is Pai Gow, which one do you want to play?"
The Geshu brothers rarely went out since they were young. Although they did gamble with other members of the family, it was just a matter of casual fun within the family.
But now, facing such a scene, the Geshu brothers will inevitably feel nervous.
This kind of gambling is actually played with momentum. As long as people are nervous before gambling, then 80% to 90% of them will lose if they start playing later.
Ma Xiaoquan saw Brother Geshu's nervousness, and so did the other young masters, but no one said anything. Ma Xiaoquan was thinking about setting a trap for the two brothers, while Brother Geshu was thinking about how to deceive them more.
For Ma Xiaoquan's money, the other young masters thought they were getting two more big fat fish that they could kill.
Everyone went to the gambling table with their own thoughts. Ma Xiaoquan skillfully picked up a pair of dice, threw them into the dice cup and started shaking them.
When the young masters saw Ma Xiaoquan's posture, they thought to themselves that he was a damn expert, and they all turned their attention to Brother Geshu.
Geshu Xingyun and Geshu Liushui, like Ma Xiaoquan, picked up the dice cup skillfully, but made some mistakes when throwing the dice into the dice cup. They themselves could not detect this, and the others
You can see it clearly.
"Come on, come on, place your bets, this is a dreamy golden flower, it is shaking, it is sure to leave your hand, it is sure to leave your hand!"
"Dream Golden Flower?" Brother Geshu was stunned for a moment and asked Ma Xiaoquan who was beside him, "Brother Ma, what is Dream Golden Flower?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said, "Oh, this dreamy golden flower is played like this..."
