It's hard to be a prodigal

Jian Lai said calmly: "My humble man, Jian Lai, Zi Qi came from the east."

"Junior Jiang Zong." Jiang Zong raised his star-like eyes, "Boss Jian wants to gamble on something."

Boss Jane said: "You choose."

Jiang Zong's gaze wandered around the venue, and he paused for a while on a Fraxinus mandshurica tabletop not far away - that was the place where he lost 10 taels to Jane back then.

The steward looked winkingly, and led the two masters to move to the ash table, serving tea and sweets.

The gambles on this Manchurian Mandshurica table are all unshakable, one loses ten, the starting bet is 1000 taels, and if you lose money on this table, you will lose 1 taels of silver.

He Jiang Zong can afford to lose, and it is really worthwhile to spend 10 taels to buy such a stable connection. Before he is unlucky, he has to quickly throw out the 500 taels he just won.

Jiang Zong tugged at Lelian's cuff: "Honey, go and lend me 9000 taels of silver, it's at the counter."

Le Lian's face froze, and he leaned over and asked softly, "Brother Zong, why did you bet so much?"

"Spend money to buy luck." Jiang Zong raised his hand and rubbed Lelian's chin, "I'm lucky today, hurry up, boy, I'm too lazy to move."

In his previous life, Jiang Zong did not know until later that Meng Wu next to Boss Jian would make money. Boss Jian is a frank person, so he probably doesn't care much about winning or losing the game, but if the people around him want to use this to save face for his master, there is nothing wrong with him. To lose so badly, it was Meng Wu who controlled the game on the opposite side.

But Jiang Zong didn't care, he was so lucky today, if he was unlucky and won Boss Jian, wouldn't it be harming himself and others.

Jiang Zong glanced at Meng Wu who was standing next to Boss Jian, and relaxed his mind. There was an extra hook, and an extra security.

Taking advantage of Le Lian's time to borrow money, Jiang Zong pressed the 1000 taels of silver notes on the table, Boss Jian leaned on the table with his elbows, gently rubbed his gold and jade-wearing hands, and asked Meng Wu to put the 1000 taels of silver notes.

The person in charge of the Golden Tooth Gambling House personally brought a Dendrobium bead, ten dice, and placed a jade plate on the table.

There is a kind of Dendrobium bead game on the table of Fraxinus Fraxinus Fraxinus, pouring a pearl salvaged from the blue sea outside the city of Dendrobium, the pearls fall into the jade plate and the plate collapses. The one with the closest number of remaining pearls wins.

The young man who had just argued with Jiang Zong poured the pearls, and the pearls landed on the plate, making a clear trembling sound, and the bright white beads burst and flew around under the candlelight, and the light spots reflected on Jiang Zong's cheeks, bright and ostentatious.

Jiang Zong raised his hand and shook the dice cup, and the pearls were thrown upside down on the table in an instant.

In fact, he doesn't know how to play dice very much. It is said that some people can hear the dice points in the cup from a distance, but Jiang Zong can't, and he doesn't bother to learn these heretical and boring things.

But he has excellent eyesight and is born with extremely fast calculations.

To be honest, the moment the pearls landed on the plate, Jiang Zong could immediately silently calculate how many pearls fell on the plate, how many splashed outside, and how many fell into the soft bag that held the pearls by the table.

He just couldn't control the dice in his hand.

As soon as the two sides opened the dice cup, Boss Jian on the opposite side had "one, two, three, three, five" in his hand, Jiang Zong blurted out to himself, "Boss Jian's fourteen points, a sure win, my twenty points here is eight short of what was on the plate. "

There were more and more gamblers onlookers, and they crowded around to applaud lively. As soon as Jiang Zong reported the number, there was a burst of strange exclamation, commenting that this young man named Jiang Zong lost 1 taels at the beginning.

The young man who fell into the bead looked at Jiang Zong with even more unfriendly eyes, and said, "Young master counts so fast."

Jiang Zong didn't take it seriously, he ate melon seeds and crossed his legs: "Everyone is like you, they can't make money even if they stand on stage."

"..." The young man was beaten to death.

Boss Jian thought that the beauty opposite was extremely interesting. He lost 1 taels, but the sarcasm in those phoenix eyes was as smug as if he had won.

Le Lian held the loaned chips in his arms, and when he came back, he saw that Jiang Zong was really powerful. He lost 1 taels if he didn't take care of it at a glance. He thought that the prodigal Young Master Jiang had changed his sex these days, and it must be wishful thinking again. .

He pressed Jiang Zong's shoulders, leaned over to take a look at the game, Jiang Zong simply got closer, leaned his head into Le Lian's ear and said, "It's not surprising that Meng Wu is out of money, I lose."

Le Lian turned his head and asked Jiang Zong: "Then why are you betting with them? You don't know how to play."

Jiang Zong smiled: "I just feel uncomfortable if I don't spend the money. You play with me for a while, this is the Dendrobium bead game, the one whose points are closer to the pearls on the plate wins, I can count the beads clearly, but the dice It doesn’t matter what time you want to come, I can’t do anything about it.”

Le Lian raised his eyelids slightly, and asked in surprise, "Can you count?"

"sure."

In his previous life, he checked the accounts every year in the hall, and all the shopkeepers of the semi-colons stood in the hall waiting for him to inspect. He was able to calculate all the accounts of all the companies under him by looking at them, and never missed a single one. Jiang Zong has his own algorithm, counting a few beads It is really overkill.

Jiang Zong knocked on the melon seeds casually: "But it's useless, quickly bet the money, let's go eat after playing."

Jiang Zong was rushing to lose 10 taels to Jane, betting the remaining 9000 taels of chips, raised his head and pursed his lips with a smile: "Boss Jane, I really didn't bring much money with me this trip, don't think I'm poor , let's gamble again, I'll take my little brother to the dinner party for dinner."

Boss Jane took a look at Le Lian. At first, he saw that the slightly stern young man whispered to the beauty quite intimately. When he said that he was a little brother, Boss Jane was relieved and nodded with a smile: "It's a little bet, let's make friends." Just a friend."

Le Lian was slightly scratched by this address, and Jiang Zong could call him a few affectionate names casually. His face was cold, but his heart was very happy.

The young man holding a handful of pearls glanced at Jiang Zong angrily, and with a clatter, the broken pearls fell to the plate with a clanging sound, jumped out of the jade plate, and rolled down on the table.

The dice cups in the hands of the two shook, Jiang Zong glanced at the jade plate, lazily said to Le Lian: "120 seven rolled on the table, 48 fell into the bag, there should be ten left on the plate."

Le Lian pressed the gambling table with both hands, silently looking at the dice cup in Jiang Zong's hand, and when it fell with a clatter, both sides let go of their hands, and the pearls settled down, exactly as Jiang Zong said, ten beads fell scatteredly on the table. plate.

Meng Wu, who was standing behind Boss Jian, suddenly took two steps back, covered his heart and coughed violently, quickly asked for a handkerchief, pressed his mouth, and drank a cup of tea before he calmed down.

Boss Jane glanced back at Meng Wu: "What's wrong with you?"

Meng Wu gasped, shook his head, looked up and down, looking back and forth between Jiang Zong and Le Lian.

Lelian's face turned pale, and he helped the table calmly.

Jiang Zong took a cup of tea and fed it to Le Lian's lips: "What's the matter, this is, I'm losing my own money, so I won't blackmail you."

As soon as the dice cup was opened, the "one two two two three" in Boss Jian's hand on the opposite side was exactly ten o'clock.

The gambling table was full of gamblers who watched the excitement, and they had never seen anyone in the Huzhu game who could roll out the exact points. They cheered and whispered to each other about the difficulty of this thousand gold game. Seeing that Boss Jian was still angry It is admirable to be calm and relaxed, and everyone is full of demeanor.

Jiang Zong knew that he couldn't compare, so he sneered, and just about to push the silver over, Le Lian put his hand lightly on Jiang Zong's shoulder, glanced at the points in Jiang Zong's hand, and whispered something calmly in Jiang Zong's ear, Jiang Zong Zong suddenly felt creepy.

"Brother Zong, you won."

Jiang Zong stuttered and lowered his head, and glanced at the dice in his hand.

Five dice are neatly arranged in three rows, two dice "two three" in the first row, one dice "three" in the second row, and two dice "one one" in the third row.

Looking at the pearls in the jade plate again, they are scattered and scattered. There are five pearls crowded together on the far left, two in front and three behind. In the center of the plate, three pearls are crowded together, and two pearls are scattered in a corner on the far right. , corresponding to Jiang Zong's dice points one by one.

There was an instant burst of applause in the casino, and even Boss Jian had to clap his hands, looked at Jiang Zong in admiration, and cheered: "Wonderful!"

Jiang Zong fell on Lelian's body, he could only breathe out but not breathe in, he was not far from sudden death.

"Don't gamble with money today, but do good deeds." Jiang Zong muttered.

Le Lian collected the 8 taels of chips that he won for Jiang Zong, and said relaxedly: "Brother Zong is lucky, as I said earlier, Brother Zong will make a lot of money in the future."

Add oil to the fire.

How could Jiang Zong dare to ask for the 8 taels again, so he went along with it, and when the crowd dispersed, he went up to the second floor and looked for Boss Jian.

Boss Jian didn't take these little money seriously. Being able to play a game with Jiang Zong and cultivate his sentiments was very eye-catching. The 8 taels should be a reward for inviting a beautiful woman to accompany him.

He was sipping tea in the inner room, but he heard a young servant report: "Master, that young master asked to see you just now."

Jian Lai raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with great interest, "Please come in."

Jiang Zong walked into the inner room, exchanged a few words of greeting, sat at the tea table, put the 8 taels of silver bill on the table, gently pushed it in front of Boss Jian, and said with a calm smile: "Boss Jian, I was just talking to your boss just now. Just kidding, you are really as personable and broad-minded as the rumors say, it is the younger generation who is playing tricks in front of you."

Although Jiang Zong really didn't understand why he was so lucky today, if Boss Jian misunderstood him as a deliberate plan, he would be at a loss, so he had to be polite and ambiguous here to fool him.

Boss Jian never cared about everything, seeing Jiang Zong being so polite, he liked the young man even more.

Jiang Zong followed the conversation and said: "To tell you the truth, I came to Jinshui from Jinzhou Jiang's house to do honey business, and I had a backlog of thousands of catties of honey that was hard to sell, so I went to the gambling house to have fun and relieve my worries. How about you, I am young and energetic, I always love to fight for the win or lose when I encounter gambling, I really can’t hold back, alas.”

Boss Jian smiled: "My lord, you are welcome, and Jian is not someone who can't afford to lose. Jinshui honey is known as the best honey in the world. I stopped by here and wanted to buy some honey and sell it to Xiting. The young master is destined, why not talk about this business."

Jiang Zong patted the table and said, "Thank you for not giving up, my honey is really good, otherwise I wouldn't dare to come and recommend myself." He took advantage of the situation and pushed back the 8 taels of banknote to Jane, "You take this banknote, The younger generation is just too impulsive to be strong and competitive, and if you accidentally hurt your face, you forgive me, it is also a reminder to the younger generation that you will not be so reckless in doing things in the future."

Jian Lai's character is not limited to trivial matters, and his impression of Jiang Zong increased steadily during the conversation, and he said generously: "If you insist on this, then I will accept it. I will send a guy to look at your goods tomorrow. The premium price is right, let’s talk about it.”

Jiang Zong smiled heartily: "Thank you, Mr. Jian, for your face. First, I will present you with tea instead of wine. When you are free, I will invite you to try the goose on bamboo fungus from Jinshui. It is a must."

Jian Lai likes young people to speak frankly and frankly, and picks up a teacup to touch Jiang Zong.

Le Lian leaned against the door and listened slightly to the conversation inside, and watched Jiang Zong chatting and laughing with the rich and powerful businessmen through the gap. He managed to clear up the sales of honey in a few words, and while envious, he showed that he was not satisfactory, Brother Zong It seems that he is a hidden business master, and he can't match him anyway.
