Ma Xiaoquan staggered out of Bei Mingqing's house. As soon as he reached the door, the servants of Bei Mingqing's family couldn't wait to close the door.
There was a "bang" sound, and the door slammed shut. Ma Xiaoquan was startled, turned around and kicked it.
"What are you doing?" A male voice came into Ma Xiaoquan's ears.
Ma Xiaoquan turned his head and looked, stunned for a moment, then grinned.
"Hey, it turns out to be my second uncle, why are you here?"
The man who scolded Ma Xiaoquan, the man whom Ma Xiaoquan called "second uncle", was Bei Mingqing's son, Bei Mingshuangxue's biological second uncle, Bei Mingtian.
Bei Mingtian walked forward with a frown and said, "Why is it you? Why are you kicking my door?"
Ma Xiaoquan rolled his eyes slightly and said: "Second uncle, I don't know something. I went to your house just now, but my second uncle scolded me. I'm not in a good mood, hehe..."
"Hmph, you are in a bad mood, and I am in a bad mood. You bastard got involved in the affairs of my Beiming family and caused my father to lose power..."
Ma Xiaoquan scratched his head and said innocently: "How can my second uncle say that? I have always been an outsider. My second uncle said he wanted to quit that day, and I didn't force him... Hey, forget it. ,two
Uncle, don't blame me. I'm not in a good mood. I just happen to have some money and I'm thinking about where to gamble. Second uncle, do you know where there is a gambling parlor? My hands are itchy. "
"Huh?" Bei Mingtian raised his eyebrows and looked Ma Xiaoquan up and down, "You are rich, how much money do you have?"
Ma Xiaoquan looked around, then "cautiously" leaned into Bei Mingtian's ear and said, "To be honest, second uncle, I have several thousand taels on hand right now."
"So many?" Bei Mingtian was shocked by the number reported by Ma Xiaoquan. He looked at Ma Xiaoquan in disbelief.
Ma Xiaoquan took out a few official tickets from his sleeve pocket and shook them twice in front of Bei Mingtian's eyes.
Bei Mingtian's sharp eyes immediately saw the denominations on these official tickets. Tsk, tsk, tsk, they were all big official tickets worth one thousand taels. There were so many, so many.
Bei Mingtian swallowed his saliva and felt extremely jealous. Why did this kid have so much money in his hand? Why could I, the second young master of the Bei Ming family, not even have a tael of silver on hand?
Seeing that Bei Mingtian was silent, Ma Xiaoquan said: "If my second uncle doesn't know, forget it. I'll ask others. Hey, I'm in a bad mood and there's no place to lose money. Forget it..." With that said, Ma Xiaoquan wanted to
leave.
"Wait a minute!" Bei Mingtian called out to Ma Xiaoquan. Ma Xiaoquan was stunned and turned to look at Bei Mingtian.
Bei Mingtian stepped forward with some embarrassment and said with a smile: "Ma Xiaoquan, if you want to talk about gambling houses, we really have a few gambling houses in the territory of Bei Ming Family."
"Oh? Second uncle is also interested in playing two games?"
Bei Mingtian rubbed his hands and chuckled, saying: "Hey, it's a small gamble to be happy, a small gamble to be happy..."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "Since my second uncle also has this taste, fine, we will go together, but we can't tell Shuangxue about this, otherwise she will be angry."
Bei Mingtian nodded: "Okay, okay, I got it, let's go, let's go."
Bei Mingtian led the way, and Ma Xiaoquan followed behind. The two walked in tandem for a quarter of an hour, and after going around a few more turns, they arrived at the entrance of a gambling house.
"We're here~" Bei Mingtian rubbed his hands and pointed to the plaque above his head. "This gambling house is the best here, and of course the games are bigger. Ma Xiaoquan, are you sure you want to go in?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and said: "Now that I'm here, I naturally want to go in. It's just my second uncle. This is a bigger game. How big is it? How much does it cost?"
Bei Mingtian said: "One thousand taels of money."
"It's only a thousand taels, not much, not much. Second uncle, do you have any?"
Bei Mingtian smiled awkwardly, rubbed his hands and said, "I have no money!"
"Oh, my second uncle has no money, so I'll go in."
"Wait a minute!" Bei Mingtian stopped Ma Xiaoquan, "Ma Xiaoquan, my good nephew and son-in-law, don't you have money? Can you lend me some?"
"Borrow?" Ma Xiaoquan raised his eyebrows and said with a playful expression, "Second uncle, you are nobler than me and you are well-dressed. Why are you asking me to borrow money? This uncle asked his nephew and son-in-law to borrow money, but this is the first time.
ah."
"Hey, your hands are itchy, and my hands are itchy too."
"Well, that's okay. Let's agree. The money you borrow has to be repaid!"
"Hey, I know, you know, give it to me quickly, just give it to me..."
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and took out an official ticket worth one thousand taels. Before he gave it out, Bei Mingtian couldn't wait to grab the official ticket.
"Second uncle, you..." Before Ma Xiaoquan could finish his words, Bei Mingtian had already entered the gambling house.
Ma Xiaoquan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and murmured: "Bei Mingtian, Bei Mingtian, you should have been the best candidate for the head of the Beiming family, but it's a pity that you are addicted to gambling. What a pity...
.." Ma Xiaoquan shook
He shook his head and walked into the gambling house.
The gambling hall was very lively, with pai gow, guessing the size, betting on odd and even numbers and so on, and every gaming table was crowded with people.
Those who win money are naturally elated, while those who lose money refuse to leave. They gather around the winner and give him advice. If you are lucky enough to get some share of the money, you can even gamble one or two more.
Ma Xiaoquan looked around and finally saw Bei Mingtian on a Pai Gow table.
At this moment, Bei Mingtian was braiding his sleeves, holding a deck of Pai Gow in his hand, shouting, "Go, go, go."
Beside him, a group of gamblers also had red eyes, pressing the Pai Gow in their hands, waiting for the dealer to announce the opening of the cards.
Ma Xiaoquan took a closer look and saw that there were already two casinos on the gambling table. However, the cards of these two companies were not very good, but with so many people playing Pai Gow, they probably wouldn't lose much.
Seeing Ma Xiaoquan coming, Bei Mingtian smiled and said, "This is my niece-in-law. He also plays. Give him a deck of Pai Gow."
The banker raised his head and glanced at Ma Xiaoquan, smiled, and pushed Ma Xiaoquan over.
Ma Xiaoquan reached out and picked up the cards, squinted his eyes and looked at them again. Well, the cards are not bad. I should be able to withstand this one without losing money.
Sure enough, after the dealer pushed away the Pai Gow in everyone's hands, Ma Xiaoquan resisted and did not lose any money, but he also did not win any money.
On the other hand, Bei Mingtian thought he could win because he had a double empty card, so he boldly threw in two hundred taels. However, as soon as he opened the card, a gambler on the opposite side, Zhitian Shuangzun, won a full hand.
Bei Mingtian shook his head with regret, while Ma Xiaoquan withdrew in time.
At this time, a young man passed by Ma Xiaoquan. Because it was too crowded, he bumped into Ma Xiaoquan.
