Chapter 1167 Atmosphere
In the rare rest, Shen Hao was not able to stay idle at home.
Someone didn't want him to be idle, and set up wine in the flower building to treat guests. He also asked Shen Hao to go there in the afternoon, saying that he hadn't played money 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 retreating to attack Xuanhai, and he doesn't go to Hualou and doesn't play money, so he is not Nie Yun.
Then there are only two old fritters left in the army.
Zhang Qian and Gan Lin. After the pair of soldiers came back and settled down for a while, they immediately changed back to their previous appearance. As long as I have free time, I will clamor to set up wine and be happy. He also said that he would win Shen Hao's money away, calling it "robbing the rich and helping the poor".
When it comes to playing games with money, they are actually very simple. Even if Shen Hao doesn't rely on his cultivation to take advantage of these two people, he won't necessarily lose. In the past, he often killed Zhang Qian and Gan Lin by himself.
But these two people who often lose have always enjoyed it. The happiness of winning once can forget the depression of losing twice.
What's more, it's Shen Xixing, who can win money from Shen Xixing, besides Lao Tzu, who else can have this ability? It's a scene to say the least!
Shen Hao went to Guiyue Pavilion at the time of application in the afternoon.
Last time he was here to welcome Zhang Qian and Gan Lin, this time he came here to invite him to a drink. And it is said that Jiang Cheng was also invited. But Jiang Cheng didn't take a rest today, so he didn't come over until dinner.
This time, the owner of Guiyue Pavilion did not book the venue, but reserved the topmost wing room, and only charged a friendly price, saying that it was for Zhang Qian and Gan Lin to come more often in the future. But everyone knew it was for Shen Hao's face. After all, Guiyue Pavilion has been open for so long, and these two people are the only ones who can call Mr. Shen to play money and drink.
There is a saying in another world: Don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face, that's what it says.
Coming so early is naturally playing for money.
But this time Zhang Qian and Gan Lin came prepared, and came up with a trick called "Springboard", which uses bamboo boards as props.
It's actually not complicated. After they told Shen Hao twice, Shen Hao learned it. Then I played twice without paying money, both of which ended with Shen Hao losing, but it seemed that Shen Hao had already gotten his hands on it.
"Come on, two brothers, it's time to start. Today is the time to show you what technology is!" Shen Hao replied with a smile. I thought to myself: Isn't this just "running fast"! Ready to send money again?
"Technology?! Hahaha, brother Shen, don't be so arrogant. I've been playing this "springboard" with Lao Gan for more than half a year, and it has swept away the invincible players in the Qianfeng camp! You are ready to pay for it today!"
"That's right, today brothers are going to show you what real technology is!"
That's how the atmosphere came about. Playing money is a game, since it is a game, one 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 are rare friends for him, and they know each other very well, and there is still a friendship of comrades-in-arms, so it is necessary to maintain and integrate into this atmosphere.
In the first set, Zhang Qian won, shaking the banknotes in his hand very proudly, as if he saw the full harvest of today.
In the second set, Gan Lin won, and it was a big round of raising bets, so happy that his eyes narrowed.
In the sixth dish, Shen Hao finally opened a small dish. Zhang Qian and Gan Lin didn't change their faces. They both won several silver tickets in front of each other, so they didn't panic at all.
By the seventeenth set, the scene was completely different. Only the smile on Shen Hao's face remained the same, while Zhang Qian and Gan Lin couldn't smile anymore, and each was tense.
Something is wrong!
Anyone who lost eleven games in a row would know something was wrong. What's more, all the silver tickets they won before them have now returned to Shen Hao's hands, and they have even taken a lot out of their pockets!
Then eight of the next ten games were lost by Zhang Qian or Gan Lin, and the banknotes in their pockets quickly changed from a stack to a thin one.
This, this shouldn't be!
"Wait a minute! I made a mistake with the board! No, no!"
"How can I do that? There is no return! Big brother Gan, don't play tricks!" Shen Hao said while holding down the bamboo board that Gan Lin came out of, and then made big shots in a row, quickly won, and collected money, all in one go.
Only Zhang Qian's trembling eyelids and Gan Lin's hands in mid-air looked a little, um, desolate.
"What? Did the two big brothers stop playing?" Shen Hao put together a thick pile of bank notes in front of him, and then took out three large ones and handed them to the three singers who were with him. While smiling and teasing Zhang Qian and Gan Lin.
"Come on! How can I miss you kid!"
"Go on! Hmph! Winning now is not considered a win, you will win if you have the last laugh!"
The better you play money, the less people will admit defeat. What's more, Zhang and Gan don't think Shen Hao can always win.
When Jiang Cheng arrived after a business trip, as soon as he entered the room, he saw three smiling people sitting together drinking tea and bragging.
"Yo? Didn't you say that you are playing with money? What? Who lost the bottom?" Jiang Cheng came in cheerfully, waved his hands, and made the three people who got up to greet them sit down. Then he glanced at the bamboo board placed on the side coffee table, thinking that someone had lost everything.
Gan Lin smiled and answered first: "My lord guessed wrong, today is almost a tie. Old Zhang and I lose a little, and Brother Shen makes a little profit."
"My lord, you don't know that Lao Gan and I are in danger today! At the beginning, Shen Hao was really lucky. He won more than a dozen games in a row, and almost shaved me and Lao Gan! Behind him, he just relied on me and Lao Gan's skills." Only then did I get most of it back. Tsk tsk, I almost lost all the money I paid for the tribute.”
Zhang and Gan are proud and have lingering fears. I wanted to rob the rich and help the poor, but I almost got eaten by the rich man today. Dangerous!
But Jiang Cheng said with a smile: "I've heard you say Shen Hao's ability to play with money many times. Ten times and eight times you lost, right? He is already very rich, and you are still rushing to give him money to do it." Well? Are you not afraid of losing and being nagged endlessly?"
Only a close enough relationship is suitable for talking like Jiang Cheng, especially when mentioning Zhang and Gan's backyard, making fun of their fear of guilt.
"Puff!" Shen Hao also laughed out loud beside him. He knew that Zhang Qian and Gan Lin's family members were dignified, and they said they were afraid of internal affairs, but it was barely enough. It's just that Jiang Cheng said it in front of others, it's just funny.
"Hey, that's it, I closed the payment and paid it. Don't be afraid!"
Jiang Cheng didn't ask where the money these two guys got for playing games 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 uncovered the trouble, sat down at the wine table, greeted the dishes, and officially opened the banquet.
