During the rare break, Shen Hao couldn't stay idle at home.
Someone didn't want him to be idle, and they put wine in the flower house to treat him. He also asked Shen Hao to go over in the afternoon, saying that he hadn't played with Shen Hao for a long time and wanted to try Shen Hao's luck.
There are very few people who can greet Shen Hao like this. Nie Yun can be counted as one, but he is currently in seclusion and attacking Xuanhai. Besides, he doesn't go to flower houses and doesn't play around with money, so he is not Nie Yun.
Then there are only two veterans left in the army.
Zhang Qian and Gan Lin. After the pair of soldiers settled down for a while, they immediately returned to their previous appearance. As long as I have free time, I will clamor to serve wine and be happy. He also said that he wanted to win away Shen Hao's money, calling it "robbing the rich and giving to the poor."
Talking about the ways to make money, they are actually very simple. Shen Hao would not necessarily lose even if he did not rely on his cultivation to take advantage of these two people. In the past, he often killed Zhang Qian and Gan Lin until they screamed.
But these two people who often lose have always enjoyed it. The joy of winning once can make them forget the depression of losing twice.
What's more, that's Shen Shaxing. Who else besides me can win money from Shen Shaxing? It's all a scene when you say it!
Shen Hao went to Guiyue Pavilion during the afternoon.
Last time he was here to greet Zhang Qian and Gan Lin. This time he came here to invite him to a drink. And it is said that Jiang Cheng was invited. However, Jiang Cheng didn't take a shower today, so he came over after dinner.
This time, the boss of Guiyue Pavilion did not reserve the venue, but reserved the top-floor wing, and only charged a friendly price, saying that he wanted Zhang Qian and Gan Lin to come often in the future. But everyone knows that this is for Shen Hao's sake. After all, Guiyue Pavilion has been open for so long, and the only people in the scene who can call Master Shen to play with money and drink are these two people.
There is a saying in another world: Look at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face. This is what it means.
Of course, coming so early is just to make money.
However, this time Zhang Qian and Gan Lin came prepared and came up with a southern trick called "Springboard", which uses bamboo boards as props.
It's actually not complicated. After they told Shen Hao twice, he learned it. Then we played twice without paying, and both times ended with Shen Hao losing, but it seemed that Shen Hao had already taken advantage.
"Come on, brothers, it's time to start. Today it's time for you to see what technology is!" Shen Hao responded with a smile. I thought to myself: Isn’t this just “running fast”! Are you ready to send money again?
"Technical?! Hahaha, Brother Shen, don't brag. Lao Gan and I have been playing with this "springboard" for more than half a year, and we have swept the forward battalion invincibly! You are ready to pay for it today!"
"That's right, today my brothers are going to let you see what real technology is!"
That's how the atmosphere started. Playing with money is a game, and since it is a game, you must pay attention to winning or losing. If no one cares about winning or losing, the game will be boring.
Shen Hao doesn't like playing with money, but he likes this pleasant atmosphere. Zhang Qian and Gan Lin were rare friends for him, and they knew each other very well, and they still had a friendship of comrades, so it was necessary to maintain and integrate into this atmosphere.
In the first set, Zhang Qian won the game. He was very proud of the money in his hand, as if he had seen a lot of gains today.
In the second set, Gan Lin won, and it was a big bet. He was so happy that his eyes narrowed.
...On the sixth plate, Shen Hao finally opened a small dish. Zhang Qian and Gan Lin didn't change their expressions. They had already won several banknotes in front of them, so they were not panicking at all.
...By the seventeenth set, the scene was completely different. Only Shen Hao still had a smile on his face, but Zhang Qian and Gan Lin had long since stopped smiling and were tense.
Something is wrong!
Anyone who loses eleven games in a row will know something is wrong. What's more, all the banknotes they won before have now returned to Shen Hao's hands, and they have even taken a lot out of their own pockets!
Then Zhang Qian or Gan Lin lost in eight of the next ten games, and the banknotes in their pockets quickly changed from a pile to a thin one.
This, this shouldn't be the case!
"Wait a minute! I made the wrong board! It doesn't count, it doesn't count!"
"How can that be done? There's no way back! Brother Gan, don't cheat!" Shen Hao said while pressing the bamboo board that Gan Lin came out, and then made big moves in succession, quickly won, and collected the money, all in one go.
Only Zhang Qian's trembling eyelids and Gan Lin's hand suspended in mid-air looked a little, well, desolate.
"What? Are you two brothers not playing anymore?" Shen Hao gathered the thick pile of banknotes in front of him, then took out three large ones and handed them to the three singers accompanying him. While teasing Zhang Qian and Gan Lin with a smile.
"Come! How can I be so weak to you, kid!"
"Go on! Huh! Winning now doesn't count as winning, winning is the last laugh!"
When it comes to making money, the better a person is, the less likely he is to admit defeat. What's more, Zhang and Gan don't think Shen Hao can always win.
When Jiang Cheng arrived after his errand, he saw three smiling people sitting together drinking tea and bragging as soon as they entered the room.
"Hey? Didn't you say you were playing money? What? Who lost the bottom?" Jiang Cheng came in cheerfully, waved his hand, and asked the three people who stood up to greet him to sit down. Then he glanced at the bamboo board placed on the coffee table next to him, thinking that someone had lost everything.
Gan Lin smiled and answered first: "My lord, you guessed wrong. It's almost a tie today. Old Zhang and I lose a little, and Brother Shen makes a little profit."
"Sir, you don't know that Lao Gan and I were in danger today! At the beginning, Shen Hao was so lucky. He won more than ten games in a row and almost shaved me and Lao Gan off! Later, we just relied on the skills of Lao Gan and me. I just got most of it back. Tsk, tsk, I almost lost all the money I paid back to pay tribute."
Zhang and Gan were proud but still a little frightened. I wanted to rob the rich and give to the poor, but I didn't expect that I was almost beaten and eaten by a rich man today. Dangerous!
But Jiang Cheng smiled and said: "I have heard you say many times about Shen Hao's ability to make money. You lose eight times out of ten, right? He is already very rich, and you are still rushing to give him money? Well? Aren’t you afraid that if you lose, you’ll be talked about endlessly when you go back?”
Only someone with a close enough relationship would be suitable to speak like Jiang Cheng, especially when he mentioned Zhang and Gan's backyard and teased them about their henpeck.
"Pfft!" Shen Hao laughed out loud from the side. He knew that Zhang Qian and Gan Lin's family were majestic and majestic. They said they were henpecked, but they were barely able to do so. It's just that it's funny that Jiang Cheng said it in front of others.
"Hey, what's that? I just closed the salary and paid it. Don't be afraid!"
Jiang Cheng didn't ask where the money these two guys used to play came from. Presumably the other party has his own way of saving private money. As long as you don't get caught, that's fine.
So Jiang Cheng put aside the trouble, sat down at the wine table, greeted the dishes, and officially opened the banquet.
