A knife in love

Chapter 1286

After everyone turned over the cards, as shopkeeper Hu had expected, Shou Nanshan and a salt merchant lost money, and the rest of them neither lost nor won.The Tolerance who was sitting in the bank won three or four silver coins, he couldn't stop laughing from ear to ear, and kept urging everyone to return the Pai Gow so that he could deal the cards again.

In the blink of an eye, everyone had played around.The tolerance of the manor won nearly a tael of silver, which can be said to be quite rewarding.Although Shopkeeper Luo, Shopkeeper Song and the others had won or lost, no matter whether they won or lost, it was only between two and three silver coins, and there was neither great joy nor great sorrow.Among the crowd, the one who lost the most was Shou Nanshan.After a round of Pai Gow betting, he had already lost one or two taels of silver.Most of the silver won by everyone was lost by Shou Nanshan.I saw Shou Nanshan throwing the Pai Gow in his hand on the table, muttering curses in his mouth, with a rather ugly expression on his face.

Shopkeeper Hu watched with cold eyes. Seeing that the people playing Pai Gow were ordinary gamblers who were just betting on luck, he thought to himself, playing Pai Gow with you idiots or throwing dice is somewhat ineffective.It's just that this old man surnamed Shou sent him to his door looking for death, and Lao Ji, that bastard, repeatedly made things difficult for me. If you don't punish me slightly, you will think that I am easy to bully.As for the rest of these guys, you deserve it!

After watching a round of Pai Gow, the dealer was replaced by Yan Siwu.However, although Yan Siwu likes to gamble, he is an extremely cautious person.He thought to himself, this is not Nanjing, and he is not familiar with the place, so he must not reveal his wealth.If someone were to target him and snatch the money he just got, it would be a waste of money.Therefore, he only said that he was too shy to be in the dealership, so he wanted to give up the dealer's position.Shopkeeper Luo sitting next to him was overjoyed, and took Yan Siwu's banker over, yelling at everyone to quickly choose the damper, so that he could deal cards and start gambling.

Shopkeeper Hu is confident, confident that as long as he makes a move, he will be able to win all the people's money into his own hands.It's just that shopkeeper Ji has been spying on him all the time, which makes shopkeeper Hu feel disgusted.He knew that shopkeeper Ji was determined for him, as long as he chose a damper, he would definitely bet money along with it.In this way, the more silver he wins, the more treasurer Ji will also get rich. Didn't he make a wedding dress for Shopkeeper Ji himself?With this in mind, shopkeeper Hu had no choice but to forcefully suppress the urge to participate in the gambling game, and still sat by the table and watched from the sidelines.Shopkeeper Ji made up his mind to advance and retreat with Shopkeeper Hu, seeing that Shopkeeper Hu still refused to end, he didn't make a move either.

After Shopkeeper Luo became the banker, he won six silver coins in one lap, and he couldn't close his mouth from laughing.Shopkeeper Song and the others also had their own gains, and all of them were happy.It's just that after this round, the one who lost the most money was still Shou Nanshan, who lost a total of one, two or six coins.I saw him put the Pai Gow on the table, with a frustrated expression, and muttered in his mouth: "It's really fucking wrong! I swayed left and right, thinking that I can't win money, at least I can keep my capital, but I still lost! He Damn it, could it be that you are in possession of your spirit today, and you want to make me look good?"

Seeing him like this, everyone felt amused.Shopkeeper Hu thought to himself, although the old guy surnamed Shou is good at gambling, he has no gambling skills.After he got the Pai Gow, he only asked for a big one in the upper and lower decks, but he didn't figure out how the dealer would play the cards. How could he not lose?This person is a big goat, it's strange if he doesn't lose money.

The third person to sit in the manor is shopkeeper Song.At this time, everyone's gambling interest was drawn out, and the bets were much higher without knowing it.After one lap, Shopkeeper Song actually won two or four coins, smiling from ear to ear.Shou Nanshan lost another two taels of silver, his face was already pale, and he was muttering to himself, but his voice was too low to hear what he was saying clearly.But looking at the way he gritted his teeth, it's not a good thing to say.

In fact, Shopkeeper Song, Shopkeeper Luo and others, as well as the salt merchants and medicine merchants who participated in the game, are all wealthy.A transaction is at least a few hundred taels of silver.Today's small gamble, one loss and one win is only one or two taels of silver, and these people would not take it seriously at all on weekdays.But once the money is on the gaming table, it is completely different from when it is in business.Taking advantage of everyone's natural gamblers, a tael of silver on the gaming table is more important to gamblers than the usual hundred and eighty taels of silver.Therefore, when running a business, these people may not even blink their eyes if they lose a hundred taels of silver.But if they lose a dime at the gambling table, I'm afraid they will all be overjoyed or sad.This is due to human nature and has nothing to do with the amount of money.

Shopkeepers Hu and Ji saw that Shopkeepers Luo, Song, and Bai all won money, and the rest of the gamblers also gained more or less, their eyes widened immediately.Shopkeeper Hu thought to himself, if the bastard Lao Ji hadn't been staring at Lao Tzu today, the money would have fallen into my hands long ago.Fuck it, leave him alone!I'll bear with it a little longer, no matter if Lao Ji gambles or not, I'm going to gamble a few times anyway.

Shopkeeper Ji thought to himself, unexpectedly, this bastard, Lao Hu, really became a coward today, and he kept holding back and refused to make a move.Since Lao Luo and Lao Song, both fools, can win money, I am a hundred times smarter than these two guys, so naturally I can win money too!I'll bear with it a little longer, no matter if Lao Hu gambles or not, I'm going to gamble a few times anyway!

The fourth person who sits in the manor is a salt merchant.His luck was not good, after one lap, he lost six silver coins.Lao Shou was still possessed by the spirit of decline, and lost another one, two or three coins.It's just that although he kept cursing, he gambled well. After the flop, he pushed the lost money to the dealer.

After changing the banker, it was a medicinal material merchant who became the banker.I saw him clattering the Pai Gow in his hand, making the mountains crackle, looking impatient, he said: "Everyone, choose the damper quickly, the cards will be dealt here."

Everyone in the lobby was extremely excited at this moment, and everyone stared at the silver on the table with greedy eyes.Only three people stayed out of the matter and watched with cold eyes.One is naturally Li Qiufeng, and the other is Zhang Yong, who was once the governor of the East Factory.The shopkeeper Feng of the Dongsheng Inn also looked very tidy, he just stood outside the crowd, watching them play Pai Gow with a smile, but he didn't participate in it.

After everyone had chosen their own damper, the medicinal material merchant handed out the Pai Gow.The gamblers sitting in the main seats of each wind gate took up the Pai Gow.Some don't look at the cards first, but put the four pai gows in the palm of their hands, close their eyes, rub their hands together for a while, thinking in their hearts that Amitabha Buddha, the immeasurable gods of the nine heavens and ten earths, will bless a supreme treasure.Some put the cards on the table, then slowly picked them up one by one, and looked at them carefully in front of their eyes, as if they were afraid of missing something.Some of them put the Pai Gow in their hands, and then keep turning it upside down, trying to put out different points, secretly calculating in their hearts.Only Shou Nanshan was the most unrestrained. After getting the four cards, he glanced at them and arranged the four cards in front and back, two by two, and put them on the table.He said in his mouth: "I've already placed my cards. Is there any friend who wants to choose the same damper as Lao Tzu?"

Since the start of the game, Shou Nanshan has lost almost every game.Therefore, when it was the second round of the game, no one would bet against him.After Shou Nanshan finished speaking, everyone thought, if there is anyone who dares to bet behind you right now, this person is definitely the biggest fool in the world!

The medicine dealer sitting in the manor saw that Shou Nanshan sitting at the gate of the ground had buckled his cards, and immediately put the four cards back on the table.Shopkeeper Hu looked carefully and focused on identifying the markings on the back of the Pai Gow. He had already seen that the banker was a pair of "Miscellaneous Jiu", while Shou Nan Shan was a "Miscellaneous Seven". It seemed that this Shou Nan Shan would have to lose money again.

The chair that Shopkeeper Hu was sitting on was the closest to Yan Siwu at the damper on the left. He pretended to be a little tired, stood up from the chair, stretched his hands outstretched, and glanced out of the corner of his eyes. It is a pair of "twin axe", which is much larger than the points of the dealer and Shou Nanshan.Shopkeeper Hu looked at Shopkeeper Luo, who was sitting on the right side of the damper seat, but what he got was a pair of "Tian Gao Jiu", which had the smallest number of points among the four decks of Pai Gow.Shopkeeper Hu thought to himself, Lao Luo's hand is going to be very bad, if he bets too much, he is afraid that this hand will lose all the money he won earlier.Lao Luo has a bad temper and takes money very seriously. If he loses, he has to jump up and scold others.
