The Rebirth of Space: the Lucky Girl From a Farm Family

Chapter 259 Gambling House

Gu Huayu said calmly: "You are overthinking it. I have mysophobia and don't like others touching my things."

 After saying that, Gu Huayu got into the car.

Qingyu waited for Gu Huayu to sit firmly before driving forward.

Hua Ruiming saw Gu Huayu's car leaving and walked quickly to the door, jumped into the car and said: "Hurry, follow the princess' car."

Qingyu was not sure what Gu Huayu meant. He turned around and saw Hua Ruiming's car following him, and reminded Gu Huayu: "Princess, Commander Hua's car is coming up."

Gu Huayu said: "It's okay, let him follow. We want to explore Long Shadow Guard's background, and it's easiest to start from Hua Ruiming."

Qingyu said: "That's right! However, Commander Hua's eyes are wrong when he looks at the princess. The princess had better be careful."

Qingyu thought for a while and expressed his worries.

Gu Huayu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be careful."

Hua Ruiming followed Gu Huayu to Huayu Pavilion. Gu Chengjuan warmly received Hua Ruiming and took him upstairs and downstairs.

When going out, Hua Ruiming had two bottles of Wangyou and a bottle of Nuanyang in his hand.

Gu Huayu was a little speechless about Gu Chengjuan's practice of selling to everyone she met.

Gu Chengjuan raised her eyebrows at Gu Huayu and said, "Be full of enthusiasm when treating guests. This is what you taught me."

Gu Huayu was speechless and only said: "You're doing a good job, keep up the good work!"

After leaving Huayu Pavilion, Hua Ruiming asked, "Yanran, where do you want to go?"

Gu Huayu asked back: "What's fun in the capital?"

Gu Huayu's words stopped Hua Ruiming. The places he went to were nothing more than the fireworks and willow alleys, and the Goulan Wine Shop. Apart from these places, he couldn't think of any interesting places.

 But these are not places that girls should go to.

Seeing that Hua Ruiming didn't reply, Gu Huayu asked, "Is it possible that there are no interesting places in the city?"

"How could it be? The capital is so big and there are so many fun places. I was just thinking about where it would be better to take you." Hua Ruiming defended.

 Gu Huayu thought about it. In a large capital city, there are naturally so many interesting places, so it is normal for Hua Ruiming to have a hard time choosing.

Gu Huayu's urging made Hua Ruiming anxious, and in a hurry he said casually: "Yanran, how about we go to the Lucky Casino?"

 Lv Zixun took him to the Lucky Casino twice. There were many kinds of games, and he felt so good when he won money.

The more Hua Ruiming thought about it, the more he thought this place was good.

Gu Huayu couldn't understand Hua Ruiming's brain circuit. How did he think of taking her to the casino?

Gu Huayu looked at Hua Ruiming with a proud face and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Gu Huayu looked at the second-rate Hua Ruiming and asked, "Where did you say you were going?"

Hua Ruiming only thought that Gu Huayu was a country old man who didn't know what a casino was, so he explained patiently.

“Let’s go to the Lucky Casino. Yanran, let me tell you, that place is very fun. You can play a lot of tricks and it’s very exciting. If you go and play, I guarantee you will like it.”

Hua Ruiming’s eyes gleamed as he spoke.

Gu Huayu asked: "Do you often go there to play?"

Hua Ruiming said matter-of-factly: "Is that the case? Zixun took me there twice."

 Finished. Hua Ruiming was afraid that Gu Huayu didn't know who Lu Zixun was, so he explained: "Zixun is Zi Qin's second brother and the second master of the British Duke's family."

Gu Huayu took the words. "No need to explain, I know he is your second brother-in-law and the second brother of your wife, Lu Ziqiu."

Hua Ruiming nodded, "Yes, that's him. Zixun often goes there to play and is very familiar with it. He took me there twice and it was really fun."

Gu Huayu asked: "Are there women going to the casino?"

“Yes, why not? Those who open gambling houses and do business hope that people will play, and then they will make money.

 Women are also human beings, and the money in a woman’s hands is also money. Why don’t they let women play with it? "

Gu Huayu didn’t expect that Daxing’s folk customs would be so open that women could enter and exit gambling houses. This made her a little curious and wanted to open her eyes.

Gu Huayu looked down at her outfit and said, "Wait for me here."

 After saying that, Gu Huayu turned around and entered the shop.

Hua Ruiming asked: "Yanran, what are you doing?"

Gu Huayu responded casually: "Take the silver."

Hua Ruiming raised his voice and said, "No, I brought the money, and I'll treat you to it."

 “No need to invite me, just wait, I’ll be out in a minute.”

 Gu Huayu went to the house in the backyard, changed into men's clothes, and casually took a pile of banknotes and put them in her pocket.

Hua Ruiming looked at Gu Huayu, who looked like a handsome young man, and said, "You don't need to change your clothes. There are real women in the gambling house."

Gu Huayu nodded, "I know. Men's clothing is more convenient. Is it far? How can we get there?"

Hua Ruiming said: "The Lucky Gambling House is on Yanglou Street. Go through the alley on the opposite side and turn two more corners to reach it."

Gu Huayu nodded and said, "Let's go."

“Princess, the younger one is with you.” Qingyu spoke up in time.

Hua Ruiming said disgustedly: "As long as I follow Yanran, what are you doing?"

Qingyu didn't look at Hua Ruiming at all, but looked at Gu Huayu waiting for a reply.

Gu Huayu nodded and said, "Follow me, remember to call me Jiu Ye."

Qingyu leaned forward and said, "Yes, Master Jiu, I have written it down."

Hua Ruiming looked at Gu Huayu and asked in confusion: "Why do you want him to call you Master Jiu?"

Gu Huayu said: "Nothing, I like it. Let's go! You lead the way."

An Xu walked forward sensibly, "Little one, lead the way."

A few people crossed the street and got into the alley, then turned left and right to Yanglou Street.

"It's right in front, Yanran, have you seen it? It's right in front." Hua Ruiming leaned closer to Gu Huayu and raised his hand to point not far away.

Gu Huayu took a step aside in time to avoid Hua Ruiming's touch. She turned around and glared at him and said, "Speak nicely and don't come close to me. I hate contact with outsiders."

Hua Ruiming was not angry and said with a smile: "Am I an outsider? I am your brother."

Gu Huayu said seriously: "Put away your playful smile. If you want to live a smooth life, don't touch my bottom line."

Hua Ruiming wanted to take the opportunity to mop up the trouble, but failed and was warned by Gu Huayu with a stern face.

 Hua Ruiming had seen a lot of smiling faces in the flower house, and seeing Gu Huayu's stern face warning him was particularly touching.

If it wasn't on the street, he would have really wanted to reach out and pinch her little face.

Gu Huayu saw that Hua Ruiming didn't speak, so she just assumed that Hua Ruiming had listened and walked towards the gambling house.

Hua Ruiming was about to catch up when he was grabbed by An Xu.

Hua Ruiming looked back at An Xu and asked, "What's wrong?"

An Xu whispered: "Sir, the princess is not someone to be trifled with. Don't provoke her..."

Hua Ruiming glared at An Xu and said in a low voice: "Lusuo, do what you should do, and you don't have to worry about my affairs."

From the front, Qing Yu whispered: "Princess, Commander Hua doesn't seem to have listened to your words."

Gu Huayu said: "Don't worry about him, be polite first and then fight. If he doesn't change his character, I will make him regret it. Don't worry, I can't bear the loss."

Qingyu nodded and said, "Yes, I understand."

Hua Ruiming caught up and said, "Yanran, wait for me."

"Commander Hua is here, please come in." When the waiter saw Hua Ruiming, he came out with a smile on his face.

Hua Ruiming nodded and walked in with official steps. As he walked, he said to the waiter: "Today, I will bring my brother over to see if there is anything interesting. Please tell my brother."

 The waiter immediately walked to Gu Huayu's side. After bowing in greeting, he began to introduce Gu Huayu in a low voice.

 In the twenty-first century. Gu Huayu was taken to the gambling city of Beautiful Country by Hua Jinlin to have a look.

 She was not new to the waiter’s introduction.

  She was curious about the folk customs of this era and wanted to see what women of this era looked like when gambling.

Gu Huayu looked around the lobby and saw several long tables placed in the room, with people crowding around the tables.

Some are sitting, some are standing with their hands folded in front of their chests, and some are putting one leg on the bench... People have different postures, their eyes are fixed on the dice cup on the table, and they are shouting "big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big Big." "Small, small, small."

The shouts were so loud that they almost knocked off the roof.

 The dealer opened the dice cup, some people screamed with excitement, while others sighed in frustration.

Gu Huayu did not see the gambling woman, but unexpectedly met Lu Zixun from the British Government and Wan Changquan from the Wanfu.

 The two of them were talking to a man wearing an ultramarine gown.

 Lu Zixun and Wan Changquan looked sideways at them and did not see them.

Gu Huayu turned to Hua Ruiming and said, "Your brother-in-law is over there."

Hua Ruiming looked over and said, "Let's go over and have a look."

Gu Huayu said: "When they ask, they say I am Master Jiu, don't expose me!"

 “Okay, let’s go.” Hua Ruiming agreed.

Hua Ruiming walked over quickly and called with a smile: "Zixun, Uncle Wan."

Gu Huayu felt that the ultramarine man looked familiar, but couldn't remember where she had seen him.

Qingyu saw the ultramarine man and said in surprise: "Isn't this the man who followed Yang Jian yesterday?"

Gu Huayu narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the ultramarine man again. There were many people yesterday, so her attention was on Cui Mingqing and the others, and she didn't pay too much attention to others. After being reminded by Qingyu, there seemed to be some impression in my mind.

Hearing Hua Ruiming's voice, the three people who were talking stopped and looked over.

Gu Huayu saw a flash of panic in the ultramarine man's eyes when he saw Hua Ruiming, and couldn't help turning her head to look at Hua Ruiming.

Hua Ruiming looked natural and bowed his hands to Lu Zixun and Wan Changquan. Apparently, he didn't know the ultramarine man.

Sure enough, Hua Ruiming straightened up and asked, "Who is this?"

Lu Zixun introduced: "Xu Shuxia, the second shopkeeper of the Good Luck Gambling House, and Hua Ruiming, the commander of the Long Shadow Guard."

When Lu Zixun talked about the commander of the Long Shadow Guard, his voice became stronger and there was a bit of pride in his tone.

 Xu Shuxia bowed towards Hua Ruiming and said: "Hello, Commander Hua, I'm Xu Shuxia. The second shopkeeper of Good Luck Gambling House, welcome Commander Hua."

 Hua Ruiming cupped his hands casually, and then pulled Lu Zixun to talk.

Xu Shuxia bowed and said sensibly: "Here are you, please, I'll go and get busy first. If you two want anything, just come to the counter and pick it up."

Lu Zixun and Wan Changquan cupped their hands towards Xu Shuxia and said, "Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Xu Er. I won't use it today. I'll trouble Shopkeeper Xu Er next time."

 “You’re welcome, I wish you guys a good time.” After saying that, Xu Shuxia left.

Lu Zixun turned to look at Hua Ruiming, "Why are Wende here? Do you have any silver? Give me one hundred taels of silver first, and I will return it to you another day."

Lu Ziqin asked politely first, and then changed the topic to money.

Gu Huayu understood and looked at Lu Zixun with a deep look in her eyes. It was obvious that these two people had just asked the shopkeeper to borrow money.

Hua Ruiming asked: "What? Have you finished losing?"

Lu Zixun said angrily: "The point is a bit backward today. When I bought it big, it opened small. When I bought it small, it opened big, and the handle was not smooth."

Hua Ruiming scolded: "Why don't you come back when things don't go your way? Don't you know how to stop?"

Lu Zixun replied in a low voice: "It's not that I hope I can win something back in the next round.

How much money did you bring? Give me one hundred taels first. I don’t believe in this evil. Today I can lose again and again. "

Hua Ruiming took a banknote from his arms and handed it over, "Here, if you lose even this hundred taels, you should stop playing today."

Lu Zixun took the bank note, thanked him, and pulled Wan Changquan into the crowd nearby.

From beginning to end, Lu Zixun didn’t even look at Gu Huayu.

After Lu Zixun left, Hua Ruiming turned around and asked, "Yanran, are you playing?"

Gu Huayu said: "You play, I'll take a look first."

Hua Ruiming said: "Okay, I'll go see Zixun. You can do whatever you want. If you want to play, come and find me."

Gu Huayu nodded, "Okay, you go."

Hua Ruiming turned to Qing Yu and said, "Protect your master."

After Hua Ruiming left, Gu Huayu said to Qingyu: "Pay attention to that shopkeeper Xu Er."

Qingyu leaned forward and said, "Okay, I understand. Mr. Jiu, do you want to play?"

Gu Huayu said, "You're here, it's not good if you don't play. Let's find a position with a good view and play a few games."

Gu Huayu knew that in a place like a casino, as long as you enter, you will be watched secretly.

The two chose a corner with a good view. Gu Huayu asked Qingyu to sit down and stood beside Qingyu.

Qingyu turned around and looked at Gu Huayu in fear, "Master, come and play..."

Gu Huayu winked at Qingyu and told him to sit still and said in a low voice: "If I sit down, my view will be blocked."

Qingyu understood, he took out a piece of ingot and put it on the table with peace of mind, and bought a big one.

Gu Huayu’s attention was on Xu Shuxia’s side.

Xu Shuxia stood by the cabinet and made calculations for a while, looked up at them, and then waved to the waiter.

 The waiter immediately walked over and bowed to Xu Shuxia.

Xu Shuxia leaned her head over and whispered to the waiter: "Hurry up and deliver a letter to the big shopkeeper. Tell him that the commander and Princess Yanran are coming to the casino. Hurry up, so that the big shopkeeper doesn't come and bump into you."

　　Gu Huayu was not surprised that Xu Shuxia could recognize herself.

 Why did he ask the waiter to inform the chief shopkeeper?

 Who is the boss of this gambling house?

Gu Huayu raised her head and looked at Xu Shuxia. Xu Shuxia was looking at her. Seeing her looking over, Xu Shuxia turned her head away and looked away.

Gu Huayu looked away and saw Qingyu took out another ingot of silver from the money bag and put it on the table.

Huayu asked: "Lost?"

Qingyu turned to look at Gu Huayu and said helplessly: "This is the third one."

Gu Huayu smiled and said, "It's okay. If we lose this one, we'll go back."

 “Okay!” Qingyu nodded in agreement.

After Qingyu finished speaking, the dealer revealed the points. Qingyu stood up with relief and said, "You lost, let's go!"

Gu Huayu smiled and said: "It's not easy for you to lose three times in a row. Let's go!"

Qingyu looked around the place and did not see Hua Ruiming, so he asked: "Where is Commander Hua? Do you want to call him?"
