I promise

Chapter 113

Located five miles outside of Gusu City, Zou Sifang by the Xiling Lake is the largest gambling house in the entire Central Plains.It is said that it is the private property of a nobleman in the palace.

Since it was established by a nobleman, the specifications are naturally unusual.

Boxiang Building is a place where wealthy and senior officials seek elegance and improve their style, so there is nothing wrong with it being elegant.However, it is the first company to build a casino that is magnificent, elegant and antique.

The entire gambling house is built by the water, with four high walls, two feet thick and three feet high. It is built with gray bricks that blend with the surrounding scenery. The bricks are of different sizes and styles.

Rare rattan plants are crawling on the walls, which are lush and verdant no matter what season it is.

Huge octagonal palace lanterns protrude from under the cornices, lined up in a row, and there is an indescribable grandeur in the exquisite and gorgeous.

Every night, the palace lanterns are lit, illuminating the ten-mile water waves of Xiling Lake on the opposite side, and the streamer swaying, as if the fairy mansion is coming to the world at night.

Even though it was daytime at this time, the extravagant demeanor of the four parties had not diminished by half.

No wonder so many gamblers are willing to lose their fortunes and linger here.This kind of psychological feeling of reaching the sky in one step and being close to the official family is definitely not available in other casinos.

Xu Younan laughed and said, "Look at this style, the more restrained it becomes, the more boundless it becomes. It seems that the emperor really favors that Concubine Fang Gui."

Xu Younan's speech seems to be long-winded and annoying, but in fact he never said useless words.

Mu Dianke frowned, and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Xu Younan smiled and said: "Why are you so nervous? You have given me face so much, of course I will not repay you with grievances, and make things difficult for you. I was just thinking, as expected of the same line, this noble concubine in Jiankang Palace, It's really similar to our Liushangjun."

Mu Dian was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he took Mei Longxue's hand and went into the square.

As a place exclusively for dignitaries, rich businessmen and wealthy businessmen to have fun, the price of admission is frighteningly expensive, and not just anyone can enter.

It was also Xu Younan who had the ability to get admission qualifications for Mu Dianke in less than half a day. Things like registration and payment should be taken care of, so Mu Dianke didn't need to worry about it at all.He also deliberately chose the most discerning young man in the four quarters to take care of him.

Mu Dian could just take Mei Longxue around to find people to gamble and make the noise louder.

There are thick shades of flowers on both sides of the entrance.

Opposite is a huge landscape screen.It is four or five feet high and more than twenty feet wide, inlaid with a red sandalwood frame.Because of the huge format, the landscape pictures are very realistic, magnificent and majestic.

The surface of the screen is treated with some special method, so it is placed in the open air, it will not get old in the wind, it will not rot in the rain, and the color is as bright as new.Hidden among the layers of green flowers, the ancient style is in harmony with nature, novel and interesting.

A piece about ten feet square is cut out in the center of the screen, an arch is surrounded by nanmu, and a huge white jade bead curtain is hung.It looks like a waterfall cascading down from the mountainside.

Two cute little boys in white clothes of Yuxue stood on both sides and opened the curtains, calling out in a clear voice: "Your guest is here!"

Then a handsome young man in Tsing Yi came out to welcome him. This young man was Xu Younan's young servant who had arranged to take care of Mu Dianke and his wife early in the morning. His name was Qi Yu.

At that moment, Qiyu came up to greet him, and led Mu Dianke and Mei Longxue through the corridors to the guest room.

Flying flowers along the road are dotted with emerald green, and the colored glaze is resplendent.Mu Dian didn't think anything of it, Mei Longxue grew up in the desert, and what she saw all day long was either the gloomy stone walls of the Ming Palace, or the yellow sand everywhere outside the palace.When have you seen such a magnificent scene?

The little girl opened her big clear eyes, and said with excitement in her voice, "Mother, this casino is so beautiful."

Rao Qiyu was well-informed, so she couldn't help but tremble at the corner of her mouth at this time... Mother?

Mu Dianke's mood was not much better than Qiyu's. After all, he had practiced for a long time, and his face was still stable. He smiled and said: "Silly boy, this is not a casino, this is a game club. Those who can come here are either rich or rich. You are all people of status, so naturally you have to be extra particular. If you like it, I will ask this little brother to show you around later."

The price of entry into the house is so expensive that people are speechless. Naturally, the service is also first-class.Every guest who enters the door is equipped with a young man in green clothes who is dedicated to serving him. He is responsible for the guests' meals and lodging, drinking and drinking tea, listening to books, watching songs and dances, etc. in the Four Squares.

In short, as long as you can afford the money, you are the emperor and you can ask for anything.Only what you can't think of, nothing they can't do.

This kind of garden tour that Mu Dianke talked about is really a trivial matter.

Qiyu smiled warmly and said: "After the two nobles have a good rest, I asked someone to bring the sedan chair over, and the lady rested while visiting the garden. The scenery of each garden is different, and the gardens are not the same. It is worth seeing."

Mei Longxue asked strangely: "Why should I rest? I don't like sitting in a sedan chair either."

Thanks to Qiyu's handling of people every day, she has developed a flexible enough response, and now she just smiled calmly and said: "I was confused, Miss is young, and her steps are steady, how can it be compared with ordinary weak boudoirs?"

In front is a first-level white marble step. The stone step is very long and paved very gently. It stretches along the way, with willows interspersed.

At the end of the stone steps is the empty door with hanging flowers. There are three doors in total.

Go through the first door.Two beautiful maids came forward with two golden basins filled with water, each with a neatly folded white towel on the edge of the basins, their voices were like pearls, and they raised their voices: "Guests come from afar, wash your hands to get rid of the dust. .”

After Mu Dianke and Mei Longxue washed and wiped their hands, they asked Fuyu to lead them to continue walking.

Go through the second door.Two glamorous women covered in fragrance stood on both sides, each of them held a duster of colorful peacock feathers in his hand, stepped forward to dust the clothes of the two of them, and brushed them down to their shoes and socks.His voice was as gentle as a warbler's cry, with a hint of charm, and he said softly: "Sweep the clothes for the guests, and remember the kindness of Dengmen."

Standing in front of the third door was a beautiful young girl in palace attire, with a dignified appearance and a noble demeanor.Holding a pearl and agate jade plate with both hands, there are two engraved silk silver cups and half a cup of tea soup on it.Bending knees and bending over, he gave a deep blessing, and said with a smile: "Holding the courtesy is because of the honor of the guest, and when we meet again, it is an old friend."

Mu Dianke claimed to be well-informed, and after seeing such a scene, he couldn't help feeling like a countryman entering the city in his heart.

I have heard for a long time that Jiankang's wine, sex and wealth, the dignitaries indulged in pleasure, and the tricks are constantly updated. When I saw it today, I realized that it was so.

Further on, there are pavilions dotted among clusters of flowers.With the ups and downs of the terrain, the pavilions are high and low, different in size and style, forming a landscape of its own.

It is the place where the guests rest and drink tea.

　I have always felt that I am not suitable for writing novels.I think fighting is better than romance, writing scenery is better than narrative, and writing poetry is better than composition.However, the first three are all a waste of time... Closer to home, there is another update today.
