Chapter 3 Small Gambling Pleasure

After returning to the house from Ding, Cao Ang kept giggling. He has been used to being poor recently and has been secretly ruthless: After Cao Anmin sent the money, I must have Yiguanfu on my left hand and Yiguanfu on my right hand, and I will hang Yiguanfu on my neck. I will spend Yiguanfu on my first life, and I will also try the feeling of a nouveau riche.

Wait and wait. I never waited until Shen Shi. Cao Ang was almost restless. Finally, he waited for the envoy sent by Cao Anmin, but found that he was empty-handed and didn't look like he was carrying a weight. The one hundred coins he promised to me, could Cao Anmin change his mind?

Cao Ang's hand huddled in his sleeves and kept pinching his thighs hard, allowing himself to maintain a calmness and stability, showing an indifferent look.

The messenger seemed very interested in Cao Ang's calm expression, and he kept talking a lot of gossip. Seeing that Cao Ang's facial expression was consistent, he took out a black silk bag from his arms in disappointment, slowly opened his mouth, and then placed a gold ingot on several tables.

Cao Ang smiled slightly, he was smart! If Cao Anmin really had to send someone to carry a sack into his yard, anyone who encountered this would know that there was something wrong with it. But if the money was exchanged for gold, it would not only be easy to carry, but also very secretive, and no one would find this secret transaction.

Compared to Cao Ang's calmness, Xiao Yi's eyes almost emitted green light! Previously, all Cao Ang's monthly money was dominated by Xiao Yi and used to buy daily necessities. Life was always tight, and even the wooden comb with broken teeth was reluctant to replace it.

Seeing Cao Ang nodding, Xiao Yi almost pounced on several tables, stuffed the gold ingot into his mouth, and bit it hard. He heard a thud and a tooth was chuckle! But Xiao Yi didn't feel any pain. He just giggled, biting the gold ingot one by one, and his saliva flowed three feet long!

In comparison, Cao Ang's performance was quite steady. Until he sent the messenger away, he did not show any abnormality. Of course, just after the messenger left, Cao Ang couldn't wait to insert the door bolt, pounced next to the gold ingot, and stuffed the gold into his mouth. He bit it hard, and it felt so good that he couldn't bite it!

Some people are happy and some are worried. Just as Cao Ang and Xiaoyi were biting gold and smirking, Cao Anmin touched his shriveled wallet and was worried again. It was his father's fiftieth birthday soon. Although he had the idea of ​​succession, he had to show his filial piety. But he really couldn't bear to spend money!

Although Qiao County is not big, there are several well-known antique shops and silk shops. However, Cao Anmin went in for a while and walked out with a sad face. If he bought these for birthday gifts, he would have to eat braised vegetables in the next half month. Oh, what are the cheap and beautiful things?

As he was walking forward, it suddenly started to rain. Although it was not heavy, it was very uncomfortable every bit. Cao Anmin was in a hurry to come out to buy things, but without bringing an umbrella, he avoided the door of the shop next to him.

As soon as he walked into someone's shop, Cao Anmin wanted to leave, but it was because this seemingly serious shop was actually the storefront of a gambling shop. However, as soon as he took a step outside, he was grabbed by someone inside.

Cao Anmin was very surprised and a little angry. Who dared to touch me, the Cao family in Qiao County, was really brave! He clenched his fists and wanted to show that person good looks. He turned around, but couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and bowed with a wry smile: "Uncle, why are you here?"

It turned out that the man was not an outsider, but Cao Hong, who was famous for his greed for money. I heard that Cao Hong wanted to spend a lot of money in half on weekdays, how could he come to the gambling house?

Cao Anmin was surprised, and Cao Hong said with a smile: "Anmin, since he is here, why don't you go in and play? This is my new industry, my uncle, don't worry, it's very safe, no outsiders will know about it! It's a little gambling to have fun!"

Cao Anmin was a little moved by Cao Hong's words. This year, in order to establish his good image, he hasn't dared to go to the gambling shop to make money for a long time, and his hands are really itchy.

Cao Hong saw that Cao Anmin was a little moved, so he smiled and said, "Business is business, relatives are relatives, rabbits don't eat grass by their nests, can I still cheat you? Pupaijiu, bet on the size, which one do you play?"

After he said this, Cao Anmin could not bear it and rushed into it happily. At this moment, Cao Hong looked at Cao Anmin's back with a smile, quietly called a dealer, and whispered: "This kid exchanged eleven ingots of gold in the money shop I opened a few days ago. Be careful and win all of them for me! If he doesn't bring cash, let him write down the document later. Be smart and don't let him discover the tricks!"

The dealer nodded repeatedly and jogged inside. Cao Hong stroked his beard and smiled: Relatives are relatives, business is business, brothers should settle the score clearly, nephew, please pay for it obediently!

From the outside, the gambling workshop opened by Cao Hong looked like an ordinary shop, and it was very quiet and there was no abnormal noise. Until Cao Ang turned several doors and lifted up the curtain made of three thick quilts, a heat wave suddenly rushed towards him: "Buy it will be true, buy it will be true!" "Big!" "Little little!" "You will open the Gu!" "I won, I won!"...

Cao Anmin's blood suddenly burned. He licked his lips and pounced at the table closest to him as fast as possible. He greedily smelled the familiar smell. While betting quickly, his eyes widened and he roared angrily: "Xiao Xiaoxiao!"

"One, two, three, small!" the dealer lifted the Gu cap and shouted loudly.

Cao Anmin laughed, hugged the copper coins he had just earned with pride, and focused on continuing to bet.

...

Half an hour later, there were already a lot of copper coins in front of him, which looked like four or five jin. The dealer on the table wiped the cold sweat from his face and said with a smile: "Customer, you are so lucky, so you should go to the counter over there! Who else dares to bet with you? The money has been won by you..."

Cao Anmin also felt a little unsatisfied. In addition, those who were watching the fun around him were urging him, so he walked to another table with a smile.

The bets at this table start at a relatively high price, and it costs a lot of money at one time. Immediately, a runner came to help Cao Anmin exchange chips and served him with tea. In the eyes of everyone's enviousness and jealousy, Cao Anmin laughed...

An hour later, Cao Anmin's eyes were red with anger, and his clothes were torn apart by him, revealing his thin little body. All the valuable things on his body had been bet on him, and even the boots on his feet were mortgaged on the gambling table, but he still had no money! Now, he not only lost all his money, but also owed a large amount of gambling debts!

The dealer stood aside with a smile and whispered: "Customer, you have already owed our gambling house eleven gold ingots. We have a small profit. Do you think we should settle it?"

Cao Anmin's eyes were red and he said angrily: "I, Cao Anmin, are from Qiao County, can I still run away?! Your boss is my uncle, just take the money!"

The dealer was still a little hesitant, and Cao Hong only ordered him to win over Cao Anmin's eleven ingots of gold, but he didn't let him continue to bet.

Cao Anmin said angrily: "Believe it or not, I will tell you if I talk to my uncle! You turtle bastard, why don't you go and withdraw money quickly, I'm going to make a comeback soon!"

After being scolded by Cao Anmin dozens of words, the dealer was also angry and immediately ordered someone to take a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and asked Cao Anmin to write the loan document and press his fingerprints.

Cao Anmin has lost a little crazy now, and with many idle people still urging him, he wrote the document without hesitation, and borrowed a hundred stags from the gambling house. He hurriedly rushed to the gambling table. In less than half an hour, he lost all his money!

This time, even Cao Anmin took off his clothes and was bet on the gambling table by himself, but he still lost. Cao Anmin, who was only wearing a white robe, finally woke up, and then cried loudly as he looked at the loan notes he signed and plastered.

The dealer who was ridiculed by him at the beginning came up and bowed to him, "Customer, you have to give me a testimony. The borrowing money was asked by you just now, and it has nothing to do with me. If my boss blames it, you have to testify to me."

Cao Anmin nodded barefootly and walked out blankly. The people in the gambling house had long seen too many such flops. After watching, they returned to their respective gambling tables and continued to shout at the top of their lungs.

The dealer rushed up again, found a worn-out shirt from the counter of the gambling house, and put it on him.

Cao Anmin woke up suddenly after being dressed like this, grabbed the man's hand and asked quickly: "Where is my uncle?"

"The boss just comes here occasionally, and maybe he has gone home long ago." The dealer said uncertainly: "You are all relatives, and it will not be a problem to delay for a few days. There should be no additional interest. Mr. Cao, don't worry, your Cao family is a famous family, so why do you care about this little money? A little gambling, come again next time!"

Next time? Cao Anmin smiled miserably. Last time he finally convinced his father to agree to his plan to buy Cao Ang. In order to make him famous, his father finally gave him more than a hundred coins of money to spend. This was an unprecedented thing. If he knew that he had lost so much money this time, he would have to peel off his skin!

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. When the cold wind blew outside the door, Cao Anmin immediately had goose bumps all over his body. He pushed away the hat handed over by the dealer, staggered into the heavy rain, and burst into tears.

Perhaps it was because of the heavy rain, shops on the streets went on door panels and closed their doors. The few people I occasionally met on the road were all in a hurry and could not see their faces clearly. Cao Anmin wailed and roared in the rain, running around like a madman, and finally lost his strength and fell to the ground.

In a daze, a little girl vaguely heard a terrified shouting: "Sister, there is a dead person here, let's take a detour!"

Cao Anmin muttered, completely losing consciousness...
