All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Chapter 17

Shen Lingxi led Liu Si into Wanguanfang, and followed the two of them not too far away.

While studying how the horse crane works, she asked casually, "When did they make an appointment to meet the buyer?"

Liu Si: "At the end of the day."

Then there is another hour.

Shen Lingxi looked at those two people, and only stayed between the two games of horse hanging and row nine, "One hour, teach me how to play horse hang and row nine, how much you win today depends on how well you teach. "

Liu Si looked astonished, he thought Shen Lingxi would.

I didn't expect it to be... not at all.

He tried to persuade him, "Girl, gaming is the worst evil of all. There is no such thing as winning more than winning less, only betting nine times out of ten. Learning everything will only harm you..."

"Before you were alive, you were the first-class steward of the Hou's mansion. The monthly silver is not too small. You usually follow the Hou Ye and run errands for the Hou Ye. There is almost no extra expenses. You don't gamble, don't prostitute, and don't support concubine, I'm in my 40s, and I haven't saved any savings, so it's impossible. Are you planning to save the money for your children to redeem themselves?" Shen Lingxi asked casually.

Liu Si's face was full of embarrassment, and he opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain it, so embarrassed that he had nowhere to put his hands and feet.

Shen Lingxi looked at him with a smile, "So, wouldn't it be just right for you to teach me how to play horse crane and row nine, and use the money you win to redeem your children, and save the money for your wife to take care of?"

Liu Si's eyes turned red and he nodded.

An hour and a half later.

Shen Lingxi almost understood the rules of the two games, but the buyer who had made an appointment to meet the two fools never showed up.

The expressions of those two people became very irritable to the naked eye.

After Shen Lingxi thought about it for a while, she knew that Liu Si's body must have been taken out, which ruined the other party's original plan. They dared not act rashly again, for fear of overthrowing others.

Seeing that there was an empty seat on the table where the two fools were playing, she greeted Liu Si and walked over, "Let's go, help me read the cards."

*
Liu Si originally thought that helping Shen Lingxi "see the cards" was to teach her how to play cards.

Unexpectedly, when you talk about looking at cards, you really just look at cards—looking at other people's cards.

In the huge gambling house, only Shen Lingxi can see Liu Si.

Shen Lingxi chose to sit at the table where the two ugly people were sitting, and asked Liu Si to stand behind each other.

She will touch whatever the other party says.Whatever the opponent hits, she will do whatever.

With the superficial rules she just learned, she didn't give the opponent a chance to win cards at all.

In less than two hours, each of them made a full 100 taels of silver in the gambling shop.

100 taels of silver is equivalent to three years of chewing by ordinary people.

Liu Si has seen someone who wins money, but he has never seen someone who is a pure novice in a gambling house, who can still win money by fighting wildly, so his eyes are straight.

The two Qing people not only engage in such murderous business, but also love to gamble, and they are both spendthrifts.

After losing one after another, his eyes soon became red.

Although Shen Lingxi is dressed as a man, she is thin and not tall, and looks very fair and weak.

Losing to such a person, how can two scumbags who are veterans of the gambling shop be reconciled.

They increased their chips more and more, and looked at Shen Lingxi more fiercely.

It had been a long time since Wanguanfang had such excitement, gamblers gathered around to watch, and some people directly set up a bank next to them, betting on their wins or losses.

Liu Si looked at the pile of money in Shen Lingxi's hand that was getting higher and higher, worried that the money would be exported next time, leaving him with nothing.

I can't help shouting in my heart, "Double! Double! Super double!"

He felt that he had lived his whole life, and he had never been so tormented and thrilled.

Seeing this battle, the chief steward turned around and went up to the second floor and entered the private room.

In front of the window facing the street in the elegant room, a man dressed as a Confucian scholar in a moon white Taoist robe and a jade crown was sitting at the table.

His cold starry eyes were looking at the broken chess set on the table in front of him, wondering what he was thinking.

With slender and well-articulated fingers, he lazily played with a white piece, and it has been a long time since the piece landed on the board.

The sunlight penetrated through the half-opened window lattice, and outlined a clean and pure outline on his angular side face.

It makes him look like a gentleman and Confucian scholar who is lazy and noble, harmless to humans and animals, and as elegant as jade.

However, under one person, above ten thousand people, the prince of Zhou who is in charge of the Xuanjia army and the embroidered clothes envoy, how could he be a Confucian scholar.

"What's the matter?"

Chu Yan's indifferent voice, with inherent majesty, is incompatible with the Confucian scholar's appearance, making people tense up when they hear it.

The steward lowered his head, and reported respectfully: "You let you stare at those two people and bet with others outside, it seems that you have murderous intentions."

Chu Yan raised his eyebrows, "Is he the one connecting with them?"

"It's not like." The manager was not very sure, "The other party is just a shameless scholar who doesn't talk very much. He plays cards in a very wild way. He doesn't play cards according to common sense. He has been intentionally winning their cards, as if he is targeting them. , it doesn't look like a joint."

It was the first time Chu Yan saw him speak so vaguely. He threw the chess pieces back into the urn, stood up, and walked out of the room.

*
In the gambling hall, Shen Lingxi's table was surrounded by people on the inner three floors and the outer three floors.

However, in order to prevent someone from cheating, everyone was separated from them by another ten feet.

From the very beginning of the horse hanging game to the push and row nine, those two idiots never won a round.

There are already 200 taels of silver in Shen Lingxi's hand.

These two hands were doubled and won back from them.

"Grandma's, today is a hit, I don't believe that I can lose this game."

The tall man looked at the cards in his hand and pushed out all the silver on his body.

In this round, he and Shen Lingxi competed to see who had the bigger hand.

"How about it, little bastard, do you dare to compete with the master? If you win, all the money will belong to you."

Liu Si told Shen Lingxi the man's card, "...he is a natural card, unless you are lucky and can get the Supreme, but the card of the Supreme, don't say it is me, even if the gamblers present, everyone Haven't seen any of them."

Even if you know the opponent's cards, sometimes you need to rely on a little luck.

Shen Lingxi smiled at Liu Si with curved lips.

Over the years, she has been working tirelessly, collecting corpses for burials, making paper figurines, doing ceremonies, and sending dead souls back to life.

One after another, they are all "unlucky" things in the world.

But in fact, I dare not say anything else. In terms of luck, Shen Lingxi has been a little bit more lucky than others in recent years.

She pushed out all the money in her hand, but she still felt that it was not enough, so she untied the purse from her waist and threw it on the table.

"Win or lose is determined in one game. If you lose, how about climbing out from here?"

The three words "climb out" are already a naked provocation.

Those two idiots have always been the only ones who provoke others, but when they were provoked by a helpless little boy, their eyes immediately turned red, and they did not hide the murderous intent in their eyes.

"Okay, you have the guts, come! I'll bet with you!"

The tall, stupid man directly lifted the face of the card.

Tianpai.

There was instant applause and whistles from the crowd.

Ordinarily speaking, it is only right and proper for a ghost to win a scholar.But for more than two hours in a row, these two people were suppressed so hard that the gamblers in the gambling shop all ruthlessly replaced themselves.

At this moment, seeing their counterattack and turning defeat into victory, it was happier than myself winning a card.

This is already the case for the onlookers, let alone the two idiots in the middle of the game...
