The Rise of the Cold Gate in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 104 "Pai Gow" is out of the ring
The damn class distinction made Xu Miao, who was proud and arrogant, had to bow his head and accept the helpless reality. The sense of gap with Xiao Qin's status made him once again appreciate the cruelty of reality.

As everyone knows, while you are envious of others, you will often become the envy of others.

Compared to Xu Miao's lack of anger, the Zhao Yunfei brothers can only be described as miserable, because they are the sons of merchants, they are at the bottom of the bottom, comparable to the heads of Guizhou and refugees.

"Brother Qin, thanks to you for not despising me as a lowly person, I will toast you." Zhao Yunlong was so drunk that he stood staggeringly, holding the wine bottle respectfully.

"Sit down, I'm all drunk, don't fall down." Xiao Qinzhi held up the wine bottle and drank it in one gulp. Compared with before, it was still the same, and he did not show a sense of superiority because of his different status.

"Haha——" Zhao Yunlong laughed out of joy in his heart, sat at the same table with the scholars, and drank a pot of wine together. This was something that Zhao Yunlong never dared to think about before, but it really happened.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, I——I'm really excited, really, very happy now." Zhao Yunlong poured himself a drink, so happy that he was crazy, under the force of the wine, rain and fog appeared in his eyes, and wept: "Brother Xianmin, you don't need to be depressed. You are the son of a great Confucianism. You have a lot of face when you say it. There are many people in the world who don't know Dr. Xu's name. There are also nerds. Although I always call you that, I am actually very envious of you." You, I envy you that you can study, you can participate in the selection, and you will be an official in the future."

"Then I asked you to read in the past, why didn't you read?" Xu Bin asked back.

"My brother was able to study because my uncle spent countless money to change his household registration and got a chance to study."

"My family is a merchant, and I, Zhao Yunlong, is the son of a merchant. No matter how many books I have read, I have read all the books in the world, and I am not qualified to participate in the selection, let alone be an official. You say, I study What use can it be?"

Zhao Yunlong said aggrievedly: "My uncle told me that he has given gifts countless times, but he has never been looked at, never had a glass of wine, and never sat with them. He said that in his life, I never straightened my back."

"So, I envy you that you can study, and I envy you that you can be officials in the future. I always dream of being an official, and I always dream of being noble and not being insulted by others."

Zhao Yunlong was drunk and talked, let out the words that were suppressed in his heart, walked staggered, obviously drunk, supported the pillar and cried again.

"Brother, go to rest when you're drunk, and stop talking nonsense." Zhao Yunfei reprimanded her head down, with tears in her eyes, got up again, helped the drunk Zhao Yunlong, and walked to the bedroom.

"Yunlong, why didn't you change your household registration?" Xiao Qinzhi took the opportunity to ask.

"The youngest sons in their family are Yun Fei and Yunlong brothers. One person must be recorded in each generation of merchants. If the family is broken, the family property will be confiscated, so the two brothers can only secretly change one person." Xu Miao explained.

Xiao Qinzhi understood, and felt aggrieved for Zhao Yunlong.

After Zhao Yunfei came back, several people continued to drink at night until dawn. This drink completely dispelled everyone's discomfort with Xiao Qin's identity change. If everyone shouted "Mr. On the contrary, it will be grudges.

On June [-]th, a large boat stopped at the bank of Fengjiang which is the closest to the thatched cottage. The Zhao brothers and Fat Laoba came to Wu County together. Surprisingly, Yang Zijing also followed.

In Jingkou, Yang Zijing once said that he would come to the Xiao clan study class, but Xiao Qinzhi studied hard at home for three months, and Yang Zijing did not come. However, when the news spread that the Xiao clan would be promoted to a noble family at the end of the year, Yang Zijing rushed here impatiently It just so happened that the fat old man was coming to Wu County, so he took a ride with the wind.

The fat old man is familiar with himself and has no pretensions. He was already familiar with Xu Miao and Zhao Yunfei, and he got to know everyone in a short time. People are wrong.

Both of them are from poor families, who are you pretending to be with? In comparison, Xu Miao's father is a great Confucian, Zhao Yunfei and Xu Bin are innocent people, I don't know how far you are a traitor of the Yang family.

Xiao Qinzhi didn't have a good impression of Yang Zijing, after a few perfunctory words, he went into the house, leaving the outside affairs to the fat old man, he loves to do these things, and never gets tired of it, if it were Xiao Qinzhi, Yang Zijing would not be able to come Wu Jun's ship.

Fat old eight brought a few letterheads, one was a letter from home, telling him to spend on food and clothing, to keep warm, to supervise his studies, and one could tell at a glance that it was written by the elder sister Xiao Yunzhi under the authorization of his mother.

One was written by the sixth uncle, saying that the patriarch will stay in Jiankang until the genealogy department enters the Xiao family as a scholar, and Xie Taishou has already gone to Yuzhou to take a post. Before leaving, he approved Dai Zong to succeed Jinling county magistrate As he wished, the third uncle Xiao Jue was transferred back to Wujin as he wished, and took up the post of Wujin Order, but the new prefect was Diao Lun from the Jingkou Diao clan, an old friend of the patriarch.

And as soon as Diao Lun took office as the prefect of Jinling County, he drastically changed the leadership team. Except for the second in command, Cheng Juncheng, all others who were active were replaced by northerners. Therefore, after the Xiao family entered the gentry, they would also be conscripted into official positions.

This is the entangled nepotism among the big families. The strength of the powerful and noble families is that one family gains power and benefits several families.

There is also a reply letter from Chen Yunzhi, saying that he has something to do recently, and he will come to Wu County in mid-June to stay for a while, and ask Xiao Qinzhi to find a quiet place for him, which is exactly what Xiao Qinzhi wanted. In other words, Chen Yunzhi's knowledge, needless to say, can help.

Along the Fengjiang River, thatched cottage, and the village where Zhao Yunfei lived, happened to be an isosceles triangle, and the distance between the two sides was just right. Xiao Qin entrusted Zhao Yunfei to rent four yards in the village.

The most remote room on the west, with a lot of orchids planted in the yard, is just right for Chen Yun to live in, elegant and secluded, and the largest room in the rest is Xiao Qin's room, by the way Xu Miao was called to live with him, fat The old eight shared a room with Yang Zijing, and the bookworm Xu Bin shared a room with the Zhao brothers.

The yard is rented in one day, but it is necessary to repair it for a few days. The roof, window eaves, curtains and screens, bed and desk, and some daily necessities have to be filled.

In the past few days, Xiao Qinzhi, Xu Miao and the others still attended class and read during the day, and talked and discussed in the evening. In their spare time, they discussed the action steps.

People in the Wei and Jin dynasties were fond of gambling, ranging from the royal aristocracy to the common people. They were addicted to it, and could not extricate themselves. It ranged from a few dollars to a large sum of money. The gambling between Wang Kai and Shi Chong was the most representative. It was outrageous and exaggerated. .

Three Wus are the most prosperous in the world, and Wu County is the most prosperous among the three Wus. Therefore, gambling in Wu County is very popular. In Wu County, there are no less than dozens of large and small gambling houses.

The fat old man got Xiao Qinzhi's authorization, and he was so happy that he carried himself away. It can be said that the sea is wide and the sky is high, and the sky is high. Together with Zhao Yunlong, the leading party, he is making waves in the gambling circle of Wujun City.

Playing dice, gambling methods such as Liubo, Cupu, Shuanglu, cockfighting, etc., in front of "Pai Gow", it is not one or two points that are inferior, and Zhao Yunlong's financial support, the fat old man who is generous, In just a few days, he came up with the elegant title of "Balangjun", and he led the fashion trend of gambling in Wu County with a pair of "Pai Gow". In just a few days, he won huge attention.

Like Xiao Qinzhi, Wu Jun became famous in an alternative way.

"Pai Gow" is out of the circle.

The fish are about to take the bait.
