Looking at the gold on the case, Yang Anxuan said hesitantly: "This is what my family has spent on Yu's stay in Beijing in the past few years. If he loses, Yu will have no food and clothing."
Diao Yun smiled and said: "It's a little gambling to make me happy, let's have a little fun."
Diao Yun's friends Zhang Xi and Yuan Sheng, both students from the Imperial Academy, encouraged him: "Yes, it doesn't hurt to play twice. Besides, there is free food and accommodation in Guozixue. Why worry about food and accommodation? If you win, you can go to the Qinhuai River to indulge." A few days."
Seeing Yang Anxuan's move, Diao Yun loudly called to the waiter and asked him to fetch the cattails. There were often diners gambling in the restaurant, and all gambling utensils were available.
Tao Ping and Gan Yue looked at each other and sighed helplessly. Young Master Yang had been fooled by Diao Yun just like the two of them.
Holding the five pieces of Aipu and rubbing them, this set of throwing tools was not of Ao wood, but of precious iron wood. Yang Anxuan tried to inject the true energy in his body into it.
Since time traveling, Yang Anxuan has never dared to relax. He gets up at Mao hour to practice archery on horseback, and goes to bed to practice Qi hard at Hai hour. After being taught the Dayan Kung Fu by Master Huiyuan, the Qingxuan Mind Technique was able to harmonize Yin and Yang, combining hardness and softness.
Archery becomes more and more random, Ma Shan is very good at it, and his strength has increased by three points. If he has to fight Cen Minghu again, Yang Anxuan is confident that he can beat him.
Throwing the five pieces of wood casually, you can feel the true energy extending along with the chess pieces, and you can clearly understand the rolling, collision and turning.
Controlling the flipping of five chess pieces, it was a bit confusing to focus on five things. Three chess pieces turned out as expected, while the other two rolled down on their own.
After throwing six or seven times in succession, Yang Anxuan got a feeling and said with a smile: "Yu played acanthus before in Luoyang, and he is considered a master. Brother Diao, be careful."
When Yang Anxuan was throwing gambling tools, Diao Yun carefully observed Yang Anxuan's moves. He laughed secretly in his heart when he heard Yang Anxuan's boast. The fat sheep actually boasted about the tiger. Later, he would show him his own methods and swallow him to pieces.
Diao Yun smiled and said: "Then please show mercy to Mr. Yang. Mr. Yang, you go ahead and throw it. How big is the bet?"
Yang Anxuan picked a heavy piece of gold from the pile and threw it out, saying: "Let it be."
Diao Yun said: "Master Yang, all you have to do is tell me the number. I will be more trustworthy than you."
Yang Anxuan said with a smile: "Brother Diao is very refreshing. I have made this friend Yang. Then I will keep two liang."
As he spoke, Yang Anxuan threw the five pieces of wood in his hand casually, and controlled a "Xiao" (three black and two white).
Diao Yun smiled and said, "Young Master Yang is so lucky."
He grabbed the five pieces of wood and blew into his hand, then threw a "calf" (two black and three white). Yang Anxuan won two taels of gold.
Yang Anxuan looked at Zhang Xi, Yuan Sheng, Yin Dun and others and said, "Let's all bet together. It will be more lively."
This proposal suited Zhang Xi and others, and they all paid to place their bets, but they didn't place their bets on Diao Yun.
Yin Dun won fifty taels of gold from Shenghuaju last time, and took fifteen or six taels with him, betting each one on Yang Anxuan.
Tao Ping and Gan Yue were a little timid at first. Seeing that Yang Anxuan won more than he lost and won seven or eight taels of gold after ten games, they also paid for it and started betting.
Diao Yun paid attention to Yang Anxuan's appearance. Seeing Yang Anxuan's brows dancing with joy, he knew that he had taken the bait. He smiled and said, "Oh, I didn't expect Mr. Yang to be such a master. He won seven or eight taels of gold in one fell swoop. Why don't we just bet bigger?"
Zhang Xidao: "Mr. Yang, you are very lucky. I have won more than two taels with you. Brother Diao is a rich man, so he just took this opportunity to win a big one."
"Yes, Mr. Yang, I will change your custody later." Yuan Sheng was fussing on the sidelines.
Only Yin Dun saw a hint of coldness flashing in Yang Anxuan's eyes.
Yang Anxuan pulled the gold and said happily: "Okay, let's get the big one."
With that said, Diao Yun pushed out more than eight taels of gold in front of him, grabbed another handful of gold and threw it in. Diao Yun glanced at about twenty taels.
This time it was Diao Yun's turn to throw first. Diao Yun no longer pretended, carefully stacked the five pieces of wood in his hand, turned his wrist and threw it gently, and it turned out to be "Lu", the most colorful of the five blacks.
Tao Ping and Gan Yue exclaimed, Yang Anxuan, whom they had in custody, had all been compensated.
Yin Dun also bet five taels, and seeing Yang Anxuan throw a "calf" casually, he lost nearly thirty taels including his bet.
Yang Anxuan seemed to be a little angry. He pushed the remaining gold out and said, "There are more than eighty taels here. Let's take a gamble."
Diao Yun, Zhang Xi, Yuan Sheng and others looked at each other with pride in their eyes.
Yuan Sheng praised loudly: "Young Master Yang, you are so heroic. I admire the most in this kind of person who puts wealth first and justice first."
Diao Yun pushed out all the gold he had won, and took out the IOU written by Tao Ping from his arms, saying: "With this IOU, it's almost even. Let's decide who wins or loses."
A few people throwing alfalfa had already alerted the people around them. Even in casinos, such a big bet was rare, and everyone came to watch. Neither Yang Anxuan nor Diao Yun chased people away, they both wanted to be witnessed.
Yang Anxuan glanced at Yin Dun and said, "Brother Yin, the outcome is determined by one stroke, why not bet more."
Yin Dun understood this and bet the remaining ten or two more. However, Tao Ping and others were not optimistic about Yang Anxuan and all bet on Diao Yun.
Yang Anxuan secretly thought that he came to help Tao Ping, but Tao Ping placed a bet on Diao Yun. Even if he was not optimistic about himself, he would just not place a bet. From this, it seemed that people like Tao Ping were not worth helping.
Diao Yun held the five pieces of wood in his hand, carefully stacked them in a convenient position, raised them above his head and muttered something, and after praying, he threw them down. Four black and one white were "pheasants", and he had a great chance of winning.
Yuan Sheng and Zhang Xi had already cheered. They each bet about ten taels, and if they win back, they will double their bets. This trip to dinner with Diao Yun was a good one, and I made seven or eight taels of gold.
Tao Ping and Gan Yue's eyes were filled with joy. They could win a few taels this time.
Tao Ping looked at the gold on the case and sighed in his heart. It was a pity that he could not borrow Yang Anxuan's money to pay off the debt. However, seeing that Diao Yun had won more than a hundred taels, he took advantage of his happiness and gave him a few days of grace.
Diao Yun glanced at Yang Anxuan proudly and said, "Master Yang, please. Don't shake your hands."
Diao Yun laughed loudly, and Zhang Xi and Yuan Sheng also showed mocking smiles.
Yang Anxuan grabbed the throwing weapon and seemed to throw it away casually. Under the control of Zhenqi, the five chess pieces rolled several times on the table, each of them showing their black side.
The laughter ended with a "quack", and Zhang Xi and others were stunned like ducks whose necks were pinched.
The onlookers around him burst into loud exclamations. Yin Dun saw the indifferent smile on Yang Anxuan's face again, and everything was under control.
"Young man named Yang, you're worth a thousand dollars." Diao Yun roared angrily.
"Young Master Diao, you're just lucky. Yu has already told you that Yu is a master, but you just don't believe it."
While talking, Yang Anxuan calmly gave him Yin Dun's principal and winnings, folded the IOU, and put the gold into the silk scarf.
Standing up, Yang Anxuan said to the dumbfounded Tao Ping and Gan Yue: "Brother Tao and Brother Gan, it seems that I don't need to lend you money. You just have to pay back the money you owe."
Tao Ping opened his mouth, wanting Yang Anxuan to return the IOU, but Gan Yue tugged on his clothes. Tao Ping opened his mouth but made no sound.
Seeing Yang Anxuan and Yin Dun turning around to leave, Diao Yun became anxious and shouted loudly: "Wait a minute."
Yang Anxuan smiled half-heartedly and said, "Brother Diao, if you want to make a comeback, do you still have the gambling money?"
Diao Yun looked at Yang Anxuan, wondering whether the throw just now was luck or Yang Anxuan's indeed superb gambling skills, but judging from Yin Dun's reaction, it was probably the latter.
It was ridiculous that I was trying to lure him into an ambush by pretending, but in the end, I fell into a trap. Not only did I lose Tao Ping's IOU, but I also paid nearly fifty taels of gold. I really couldn't swallow this bad breath.
Not wanting to fight in front of everyone, Diao Yun forced a smile and said: "Young Master Yang is a good trick, and Diao is convinced that he lost. Today, I didn't have enough money to have a good time. After a while, I will ask Young Master Yang to have fun again." "
Yang Anxuan smiled and said, "I'll be with you anytime."
After Yang Anxuan and the four left together, Yuan Sheng whispered: "Brother Diao, are you going to let this kid go like this?"
Diao Yun said with a stern face: "Damn it, the boat capsized in the gutter, but this kid took the blame. Go to Guozixue to find acquaintances to inquire about this kid. If you are not prepared this time, let this kid eat you next time." Spit out everything you've heard from me, and let's go."
Returning to Guozixue, Tao Ping and Gan Yue followed to Yang Anxuan's residence.
Yang Anxuan saw that Tao Ping was hesitant to speak, so he simply broke his fantasy and said: "Brother Tao, don't worry, I don't want your interest, just pay off the fifty taels of gold before the end of the year."
Tao Ping thanked him, and the debt repayment date was extended to the end of the year, and as long as the principal was repaid, he could finally take a breather. After chatting for a while, Tao Ping and Gan Yue left.
Yin Dun said: "An Xuan, I think you have the intention to make friends with these two people, why don't you pay them back the IOU first."
Yang Anxuan shook his head and said: "Yu originally wanted to make friends, but Brother Yin, look at the behavior of these two people in the restaurant. They forget their loyalty and want to win some money from Yu. How can such people do this? As friends? Even if we make friends, they are just fair-weather friends."
The next few days in Guozixue were quite peaceful. Yang Anxuan went to the classroom on time to listen to the teaching assistant's lectures, got to know some classmates, and noticed that Chen Zhi did not show up.
Before he came to Jiankang, Chen Shen had already left Jiyang to take up his post in Xiping County, Ningzhou. With the Chen family's vengeful character, the feud between the Yang and Chen families was settled, and Chen Zhi would definitely not let it go.
However, Yang Anxuan didn't take Chen Zhi too seriously. If he couldn't even cure a small Chen Zhi, how could he govern the world.
What disappointed Yang Anxuan was that Che Yin did not come to study at Guozi. After asking Yin Dun, he found out that Dr. Che was not on time when he came to study at Guozi. When he was interested, he would come three or four times a month, sometimes every three or two months. No trace.
Chen Zhi, who was talked about by Yang Anxuan, is currently in the Xie Mansion in Wuyi Lane.
Wuyi Lane is located south of the Qinhuai River, next to the Zhuque Bridge. During the Three Kingdoms period, Wu set up a military camp here as the residence of the imperial army. The imperial army wore black military uniforms, so it was called Wuyi Lane (1). Wuyi Lane is now the residence of Wang and Xie families.
The two-foot-wide Chidao stretches from the Imperial Road to the east, through the Suzaku Bridge, to the entrance of Wuyi Alley. Both sides of the straight alley are high-walled houses with pink walls and red doors.
Xie's residence is built along the Qinhuai River and covers an area of nearly 20 acres. The residence is divided into multiple groups of courtyards. The pavilions and pavilions in the residence are densely covered with gardens and connected by verandas. The decorations are either gorgeous or elegant, and are all unique and amazing.
Xiyuan is the residence of Taiwei Xie An. After Xie An passed away, his eldest son Xie Yao inherited the dukedom of Luling County and lived in the West Garden.
Chen Zhi was sitting in Xie Pu's study, facing the east window. The greenery outside the window is rich, and the crisp chirping of birds comes from the branches and leaves, making people feel peaceful.
In February of this year, Xie Pu married the daughter of Wang Tanzhi, the former general of Anbei, and was awarded the title of Shangshu Dianshi (seventh rank). Chen Zhi did not come for a while.
The Xie family has thick legs and must be hugged tightly, so Chen Zhi came to visit while Xie Pu was taking a rest today.
"Ziji, how are you doing lately? Why didn't you invite Brother Wen Liang to come with you?" Xie Puzheng said with a happy face.
Chen Zhiying said: "Brother Wen is studying the "Book of Rites" and is preparing to pass the classics at the end of the year. Brother Xie, you are a person who welcomes happy events, but you are so stupid that you live like a year in Guozi studies?"
"Why?" Xie Pu asked in surprise, "Could it be that Wang Chunzhi and the others were deceiving each other? Huh, tell them, don't blame Xie for being rude if they cause trouble again."
Chen Zhi sighed: "It's not Wang Chunzhi, but Yang Anxuan."
Xie Pu was stunned and said: "Yang Anxuan? Hongnong Yang Anxuan, he entered the Imperial College."
"Yes, this guy stopped Yu in the dining hall when he first arrived at the Guozi School. He made threats and aggressive words and forced Yu to leave." Chen Zhi recounted the story with added jealousy.
Xie Pu originally had a good impression of Yang Anxuan. After hearing Chen Zhi's report that Yang Anxuan was so domineering, he couldn't help but frown and said, "They all say that this man is arrogant because of his talent. It's just like the rumors. Ziji, Xie will meet him when you have time and advise him to do it." sentence."
