At the entrance of Letongzhuang, a woman wearing flower hairpin stopped He Yan and said softly, “Son, this is a gambler.”
“I know.” He Yan nodded and drew a broken piece of silver from her sleeve and shook it in front of her. “I’m here to gamble.”
The woman was stunned for a while, before waiting for her to speak, He Yan had walked in.
The women standing outside the casino are gambling prostitutes. Lotongzhuang is a wealthy family, and the money is not valuable, so they also learned to watch people serve food. Someone who didn’t seem very wealthy persuaded people to leave. As soon as the poor people walked inside, they were not very good-looking, and they stepped on the embroidered carpet. Secondly, the poor people care about money and can’t afford to lose. Once they lose, they lose their debts and disturb their nostalgia.
He Yan, who was washing his old clothes, was definitely not like the young master of the wealthy. It’s a pity that the prostitutes haven’t had time to stop her, she has not invited herself.
There was a lot of people in the casino, all the red lights were filled, the natural winners were proud, and the losers were full of unwillingness. They took out a stack of silver tickets from their arms and shouted: “Come again!”
He Yan walked and looked at it, and said with heart, the gambling house Qinglou selling Golden Cave said by others was true.
Today, after giving Wang Jiugui a lesson, she asked Wang Jiugui a question, which is the biggest casino in this capital. Wang Jiugui, such a street gangster, must have known it. Sure enough, Wang Jiugui told her about Letongzhuang.
He Yan has never been to a gambling house. Before she fought the Vietnamese army, because of her special status, the more people there were, the more she could not go, let alone the gambling house. After he voted for the Fuyue Army and fought to return to Beijing, He Yunsheng came back. She became the maid of the second house of the He family, and she couldn’t go to this kind of place where the three religions and the ninth class are excellent. So she didn’t even know where the gambling house was, this was the first time.
Lotongzhuang has everything, such as card nine, playing chess, chess, fighting grass, fighting cock… She was dazzled, and she was amazed at the same time, but it was a pity that she would not.
Someone is guessing the dice and putting the dice in the bowl to guess the points. This is the easiest, and the people who watch the participation are also the most. A whimper of silver came down and shook He Yan’s eyes. He Yan’s mouth finally burst into a smile.
The He family is really too poor, but He Yunsheng has to enter the school hall. When the jewelry is exchanged for a few dollars, it is still far from Shuxiu. It is to make big cakes to sell, and it takes a long time to save, thinking about going, He Yan can only think of going to the gambling house, money makes money, although it is speculation, but I can’t care about so much right now.
“Hey, brother, what are you doing here, don’t bet not to stand here.” The people around him shoved He Yan, with a trace of disdain in his eyes.
If you don’t have money to come to a casino, can’t you use the money to buy a good dress? It’s really appetizing.
He Yan said: “Gamble.”
The people around here were all wearing gold and silver, and those who were rich were more expensive. Suddenly, a young man in poor clothes came to see them. He Yan took the only two pieces of silver from his sleeve and put it on the table.
Some people laughed and said: “Boy, you can think clearly, this is not a joke. I don’t think there is any other silver in your body, or don’t bet anymore, I really lost my crying nose, and others will not return the silver. you!”
It is not that there is no such thing. Gambling is addictive. The more you lose, the more you gamble, the more you lose. Some people lose their title deeds and wives and children cleanly. Finally, they regret that they can’t do it. This happens from time to time.
They looked at He Yan’s eyes with pity, and the poor had no way out in Letong Village.
He Yan smiled slightly: “It’s okay, bet on it.”
Everyone laughed with a “coax”. No one knows whether the laughter is kind or lively.
The dice enters the bowl, the button is reversed, and the dealer shakes left and right. The sound of the dice is crisp, and the sound of the dice is accompanied by a loud voice. It seems that the rough man can be heard laughing and laughing.
He Yan remembered those days in the barracks.
She entered the barracks, from the soldier to the lieutenant general, from the lieutenant general to the general, there is no relationship with the He family, and she earned it entirely by her own flesh and blood.
There is no other entertainment in the bitter cold of the border. The men in the barracks couldn’t hold back and secretly gambled money in private.
He Yan would be punished by military orders every time he saw it, and he could not stand the joy of gambling in private. He Yan also had no choice but to stipulate that he could not bet on silver, but on other things, a chicken leg, a piece of dry food, or a fur.
They don’t really want to gamble, but they are really boring. Apart from training in battles, this is about the only fun. He Yan couldn’t bear to take it away. They let He Yan together, and sometimes He Yan Xing arrived, and then followed one or two rounds, each time he was defeated.
Almost all of the gadgets on her body were lost, but they were not annoyed. They just felt that the real art industry had specialization and gambling.
The crisp dice stopped suddenly, and the dealer dropped the bowl and looked at her.
“Big.” He Yan said.
“open–“
The bowl was opened, and the two dice were lying quietly on the table. The people held their breaths and looked at them. The two dice, one five and one six, were indeed large.
Everyone was a little surprised. Just moments later, he laughed at He Yan’s man and said with a big smile: “You’re lucky, take the money to cut good clothes!”
Some scattered silver and silver tickets piled up in front of He Yan.
He Yan pushed the silver out again.
Everyone looked at her.
“Come again.” She smiled.
Someone couldn’t help it and said, “Hey, this kid is a little arrogant!”
“Brother, you still have to accept it when you see it well. It’s good to win.” This is a good intention to persuade.
“I really thought I would always be so lucky? Hahaha, the child is naive!”
The sounds of ridicule, persuasion, and lively sounds filled the ears, and all living beings, but He Yan only had those two dice.
He Yunsheng went to school and the military officer needed Shuxiu, and Qingmei’s maid could not do all the work. The He family should still add a little servant. Summer is coming in a few months. When the rainy season is coming, there will be some missing tiles on the Hejia concierge, and there will definitely be water leakage… Inside and out, you need to use silver.
She wanted to inquire about Xu Zhiheng and He Rufei, but also indispensable.
It doesn’t take a lot of money for silver, but it can’t be without it. Otherwise, you will know that life is difficult when you can’t make it.
“Did you think about it?” The middle-aged man shaking the dice stroked his beard, smiling kindly and gently.
He Yan also gave him a polite smile.
“Come again.”
