Chapter 201 Being Treated as a Prodigal Son
Chapter 201 Being Treated as a Prodigal Son
Now in Dian Xiaoer's subconscious mind, he has already ruled out the possibility that Li Tai and others are people from Chang'an.This made him underestimate Li Tai and others from the first step.
"Guan Keguan also grew up in a wealthy family. I don't know the name of the guest officer. What's the point of coming to Bingzhou City." The shop waiter asked Li Tai with a smile.
"My surname is Huang and my name is Qingque. I live in Youzhou. This time I'm passing through Bingzhou to head to Chang'an City." Li Tai said casually.
"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, why did the guest travel all the way to Chang'an City?" the waiter in the shop asked Li Tai while taking out the food and wine from the food box.
"It's not that I'm showing off to you. I have a cousin who served as a general in the imperial army of the King of Wei. This time I went to Chang'an, and I planned to go to him. It's useless to tell you. I guess you are a waiter in the shop. I don’t know what the Wei King’s Forbidden Army is.” Li Tai said with a disdainful expression.
"It's true to be objective. I really haven't heard of King Wei marching into the army. I've only heard of the Sixteen Guards of the Tang Dynasty." The waiter said with a smile on his face.
"This is a reward for you. Don't forget to come over later and accompany me to your VIP casino." Li Tai casually took out dozens of coins and threw them to the waiter.
"Don't worry, Mr. Huang. After you've had your fill of wine and food, I'll come and show Mr. Huang the way." The waiter in the shop said with a smile after collecting the bounty.
The shop clerk had just exited the room when Luo Song said to Li Tai: "My lord, when I came out, the master specifically explained it, try not to mention this matter with others, so as not to cause trouble for my lord."
"Understood, I understand, my cousin is a dignified general, and how many people dare to trouble him." Li Tai said with an impatient expression.
These two sentences were caught by the waiter who had just left the shop.He believed even more that Li Tai did not come from a famous family.
……
The waiter in the shop didn't know that he had been tricked by others, so he went to report to the shopkeeper excitedly.
"Since it has something to do with King Wei's imperial army, we must tell the butler about this matter. Let the butler decide." After listening to the waiter's words, the shopkeeper said after thinking for a while.
"Then I'll go to the palace again and talk to the housekeeper about the situation." The waiter said to the shopkeeper.
"Hurry up and come back, I'll let the higher-ups prepare first. We can't let this fat sheep run away." The shopkeeper nodded and said to the waiter.
The waiter in the shop ran out of the VIP building and ran towards Wang's house quickly.After seeing Wang Quan, he told the news of his inquiry in the book.
"I didn't expect to have something to do with King Wei Jinjun, even though he was just a general. That must be the object of my Wang family's fight. Go back and tell the shopkeeper to make arrangements, and let him keep everything he can keep. "Wang Quan said to the waiter after thinking for a while.
At this time, Wang Wei, the head of the Wang family, happened to pass by, and saw Wang Quan talking to Xiao Er.Then he walked over and asked, "Uncle Wang, is there any special person coming to the VIP building?"
"It's not a big man, but it has something to do with a Zhonglang general in the imperial army of King Wei." Wang Quan said to the head of the family, Wang Wei.
"It seems that this person surnamed Huang doesn't know that Wei Wang's imperial army has been allocated to Zuo Wuwei. However, if we can take this opportunity to attract a Zhonglang general from Zuo Wuwei, there should be some respect for my uncle in Chang'an City. Help." Wang Wei said to Wang Quan after hearing this.
"I think so too, so I decided to go to the VIP building tonight. We must completely control that surnamed Huang." Wang Quan nodded and said to Wang Wei.
……
"How about Huang Ye, I didn't brag with you guys. Isn't this VIP casino very lively?" The waiter in the shop said as he led Li Tai and the others.
Li Tai was a human being, and he had never been in a casino, and he knew nothing about gambling.If you want to say what kind of gambling Li Tai knows, at best he can fight a landlord.It's a pity that such a game does not exist in this era.
Fortunately, there were not many gambling tools in the Tang Dynasty, and the common ones were betting and playing.Of course, there are other various ways to play.
In the end, Li Tai chose the simplest way to play, which is Fan Tan.This stall is not only easy to play, but also the most beneficial to Li Tai.
The game of this stall is that the dealer uses a bowl to buckle a pile of small chess pieces.Gamblers then buy one to four, four numbers respectively.
Then the dealer uncovered the bowl and used a small wooden stick to separate the chess pieces in groups of four.In the end, when the remaining number is less than or equal to four, the winner or loser will appear.
As long as the number you buy is the same as the remaining number, it means you win.
However, Li Tai didn't instinctively go to the Fantan gaming table, but sat in front of the large and small gaming table.Then he took out five taels of silver in a very grand manner, and directly patted it on Dashang.
A bet of five taels of silver can already be regarded as a gamble.After all, equivalent to the current currency, it would cost more than 2 yuan.So everyone's eyes were focused on Li Tai.
The croupier slowly opened the color cup, and the three dice showed numbers, two, three, two.
The three dice add up to only seven points, which means that the one drawn is small.It also meant that Li Tai lost the round.
But Li Tai's face didn't show any sign of resignation.It seemed that these five taels of silver were nothing to him at all.
Speaking of this VIP upstairs, the people who gambled a lot were naturally innumerable.But like Li Tai, there are few people who can lose five taels of silver at a time without changing their expressions.
In this situation, there are generally two possibilities. One is that the other party is confident and knows that he will definitely win the money back in the end.
The second type is those prodigal sons who don't know the depth. In their eyes, there is no concept of more money and less money.Because they have never worried about money.
And Li Tai was naturally classified into the second category.Because everything he showed, whether it was temperament or behavior, was completely consistent with the second type.
The croupier picked up the color cup again, shook it a few times, and placed it on the gaming table again.Then he shouted loudly: "Buy big and buy small, buy and leave."
Li Tai generously took out five taels of silver again, and put it on the big table as well.Maybe it was Li Tai's bad luck, or maybe it was the opponent's tricks, in short, Li Tai lost this game again.
Li Tai kept losing one after another, although he also won once or twice.But the losers are definitely more than the wins. In the end, the seven or eighty taels of silver went into the hands of others.
"It's really unlucky to lose so much. It seems that I should play two games in another place." After Li Tai finished speaking, he stood up, looked around, and then walked towards the Fantan gaming table.
After sitting down, Li Tai asked the croupier, "How much can you bet at most?"
The croupier smiled and said to Li Tai: "Guest officer, the rule of the VIP casino is that there is no limit to bets. As long as you can afford it, our VIP casino will accept all orders."
