Sapphire case

6.

Gu Sheng didn't expect him to dare to be so crazy at the backyard gate of Shen Wenchang's house. There was a supporting role in the next play to enter behind him, and cold sweat soaked down his entire back in an instant. He tried his best to avoid Jiang Cheng's kiss Panting: "No...you can't be here..."

"Oh? Where is that?" Jiang Cheng stretched out his hand behind him and squeezed it hard. Gu Sheng couldn't help but let out a low voice, and then turned his face away in embarrassment.Jiang Cheng withdrew his hand, fiddled with his lower lip, which had already been ravaged by him, which was bright red and moist, admiring the young actor's embarrassed and weak appearance, and laughed in a low voice: "Aren't you here... why don't you go home?"

Gu Sheng raised his head in shock. He had a slightly terrified and panicked expression after being played maliciously, and his eyes were dotted with thin teardrops on his eyelids. Those eyes were so bright that they could make people commit crimes. Jiang Cheng lowered his head and licked him. Forcing him to close his eyelashes, he murmured in a low voice, "You are so beautiful... Gu Sheng, you are so fucking beautiful..."

"Jiang Shao! Jiang Shao! Where are you from?" Chaotic footsteps suddenly sounded in the stairwell, and Ye Bin's voice came from upstairs, "Are you smoking? Come quickly! Mr. Shen wants to play bridge. ah!"

Jiang Cheng's movements suddenly stopped, and then he straightened Gu Sheng's collar and glanced up.

"Jiliang!" Song Zhao yelled, leaning on the stairs and making the sound of a lighter lighting a cigarette, and said with a smile, "Come on, don't hide your little actor, you won't be able to eat him! Let's play together together." .”

Gu Sheng was obviously startled, and took half a step back, but Jiang Cheng didn't care about him at all, and dragged him upstairs. When Gu Sheng passed by Song Zhao, he looked at him, and Song Zhao shrugged while holding a cigarette.

After a meal, most people always come to a few rounds of mahjong activities. Shen Wenchang is different here. He is a good player in bridge, the number one player in the largest Blue Star Bridge Club in Beijing, and after the meal, he often drags others to play with him.When Jiang Cheng went up with Gu Sheng in his arms, Gu Sheng broke away and followed behind him. At this moment, Shen Wenchang didn't know if he saw it, but he was calling them: "Jiliang, Mingzhang, come and play a few times!"

Jiang Cheng gave someone a wink, and someone came to invite Gu Sheng to sit next to Jiang Cheng's seat.He walked to the poker table by himself, staring at Ye Bin who was shuffling the cards: "What are you playing? Bridge again?"

He frowned and walked back, sat down next to Gu Sheng: "Don't play! Hitting this thing hurts my head!"

He was indeed one of the bandit boys who was not keen on these things, and occasionally gambled with others, just for fun and didn't like to think too much.At the moment, he was not happy at all, and still playing this kind of brain-consuming, Jiang Cheng was waiting to find an excuse to go home with Gu Sheng in his arms, and take care of a little lover who didn't report when he went out.

On the contrary, Song Zhao, who was also named, was in a bit of pain.

He doesn't have the support of his family background like Jiang Cheng, his family's success depends half on Jiang's support and half on himself.He came to the Shen family today just to find out the direction of the wind. If the Jiang and Shen families really intend to marry, then he is also ready to board the big boat of the Shen family.So if Shen Wenchang greeted Jiang Cheng to win over, then he greeted Song Zhao as a compliment, and Song Zhao had to bite the bullet despite all his reluctance.

Song Zhao could only smile: "Here we come! Ever since I met the Commander-in-Chief in Guannan last time, I've been thinking about my chance to compete with you again..."

There are four players in a bridge game, and most of them have to drag eight players and divide them into two teams to play.Counting all the people who are qualified to play cards here, there are only eight, not counting the third wife who directly said that she was tired and dizzy and tired and said goodbye in advance.

Shen Wenchang was slightly dissatisfied, Ye Bin saw that Jiang Cheng really didn't intend to participate, smoothed things over and said: "Hey, four people can do it too! Madams are exhausted for the rest of the night, so you won't be able to enjoy yourself by then..."

"I come."

A cold voice suddenly interrupted his words. Ye Bin turned his head when he heard the sound, but saw Gu Sheng, who had been sitting beside Jiang Cheng and was not even noticed by him, stood up, nodded and smiled at him.

Ye Bin was stunned: "Oh..."

Gu Sheng raised his eyes to look in front of the card table, and walked over as if nothing had happened.

As soon as he entered the main room, he saw the woman sitting on the armrest of Shen Wenchang's chair and rubbing his shoulders.

The woman's clothes are fragrant and her temples are beautiful, and the expensive jewelry sets off her appearance. She has changed her haggard and immature appearance before, leaning against the side of the warlord man and lazily raising her eyes——

Facing Gu Sheng's gaze, he suddenly shivered.

That is Li Xiaohua, the young daughter-in-law of the Li family who was born as a flower drum singer.

Li Xiaohua's slapped face suddenly turned pale, and she called out dryly: "Gu..."

Gu Sheng ignored her, looked away, walked across to Shen Wenchang without looking aside, pulled out the chair, and nodded to him calmly: "Let me play with Commander Shen, please."

Shen Yao immediately turned his head to look at Jiang Cheng, it was not surprising that Gu Sheng knew how to play cards, these people who ran around all over the rivers and lakes more or less knew some Pai Gow tricks, in order to have fun with their patrons.It's just that the situation is different now, Shen Wenchang looked quite surprised, but happy, and Jiang Cheng looked over, as if he was about to eat his thin and frail little lover on the spot.

Shen Wenchang held a deck of cards and gave it a hard blow on the table, and said: "Okay! The elders are like women! Playing cards, I can still eat him?"

After all, Shen Wenchang is an elder, and now he is not at the point of tearing his face apart. No matter how much Jiang Cheng wants to settle the score with Gu Sheng, he has to push back.Jiang Cheng closed his eyes and let out a sigh of relief: "Succeed, - when Gu Sheng is on the table, I, Jiang Cheng, will be on the table. If you win, it will be his, if you lose, it will be credited to me."

Gu Sheng's eyelashes trembled, and he cut the cards expressionlessly and handed them out to the table.

Bridge is different from other card games. It is generally divided into two parts: bidding and playing. The four players in the game are the banker, dummy and defender. To win a game, four people are divided into two parties. If a game is won or the contract is overfulfilled, there will be certain points and bonus points.

If, like Shen Wenchang, the eight players are divided into two teams to play, then the cards that the four players get at this table will be played by the players at the other table intact after the end of the round. The people are adjusted separately, and the score is scored at the end.Such a duplex game structure minimizes the luck factor brought by the cards, and fully reflects everyone's real card skills.

The most important thing is that this basically eliminates the possibility of tricks in bridge, and the tricks commonly used in other card games will be difficult to use here.

This is the charm of bridge, and it is also the difficulty.

The big and small kings are removed from the cards, and each person has 3 cards. The new cards are shuffled seven times, and the cards are played clockwise from the dealer.The participants sat upright, and the spectators were not allowed to move around at will. In the first game, Shen Wenchang was on the banker, and the classic [-]NT contract was called. Song Zhao and Gu Sheng sat on the opposite side. Song Zhao took the cards and turned them over to take a look.

Gu Sheng looked extremely calm and peaceful, calling cards and asking questions in a well-regulated manner, but inexplicably gave Song Zhao a little illusion that he actually had a plan in mind.But there was no difference in the first game. As usual, Shen Wenchang was the biggest winner, completing two tricks over the limit, so Shen Wenchang still started the bidding in the second game.

"Accepted." Shen Wenchang said in a deep voice, narrowing his eyes and looking at the cards just dealt to him, "1 heart."

"2 No generals." Gu Sheng said.

Ye Bin passed, Song Zhao probably had a few straights in this hand, and directly called 4 spades, Shen Wenchang increased: "4 hearts."

Looking back at Gu Sheng, Gu Sheng looked at the card and was silent for a while, then said pass for a long time.

After a few laps, Shen Wenchang led Ye Bin to torture his opponent until his face was disheveled and his body was bruised. Song Zhao knew that he had misjudged the person, and shouted at Jiang Cheng while Gu Sheng was shuffling the cards: "Jiliang! I have to put my pants on this time." Lose cleanly! You have to give me some subsidies."

Jiang Cheng didn't know what to say, and the last round of bidding started again, so Song Zhao had no choice but to stop and look back at the cards.

Shen Wenchang's poker game is separate from the gambling game, and they are linked together through the total scoring points. The general calculation is that the winning points of each bridge game are multiplied by ten and then multiplied by four, and as the number of games increases, the gambling money flowing on the table also increases. Increasing the stakes layer by layer, the first five rounds are gradually increased by multiples, and the betting money in the last round is three times the sum of the first five rounds!

This is the real gambling hidden behind the game, that is, the outcome of the previous games will be voided at the end, no matter how the previous games were played, the person who wins the last round will be the real winner of the game!

Ye Bin turned his head to Jiang Cheng with a half-smile: "Jiang Shao, don't feel bad if you lose this one. At worst, just laugh at it as if you were spending money to buy a beauty."

The lights in the side hall were turned on quietly, and the breathing in the originally noisy main room could be heard in silence. The light passed by Gu Sheng's eyelashes, casting a small blurred shadow.

Everything starts from scratch.

Shen Wenchang gave a conservative 1 heart.

Gu Sheng: "1 has no generals."

Ye Bin: "3 spades."

Song Zhao: "Three have no generals."

Shen Wenchang: "4 hearts."

Gu Sheng: "4 has no generals."

Ye Bin gritted his teeth: "5 spades."

Song Zhao: "pass."

Shen Wenchang: "...6 hearts."

Shen Wenchang focused on the cards in his hand without changing his face.

Song Zhao heard himself take a light breath.

In the bridge game, the number in front of the suit represents the order of the contract, and the order means commitment. One person has 13 cards, which means a maximum of 6 tricks. Based on six tricks, if Shen Wenchang wants to complete the reported [-]S contract, it means that he needs to win twelve tricks with thirteen cards!

This is an extremely difficult task. Almost only novices who have just started to learn bridge will choose to try their luck in a small slam, and among them, even if they are very lucky that day, they seldom try it.

In the previous five rounds, the highest rank was only awarded to Ye Bin's 5C contract.

——What's more, it's now the last round, and even the celebrities here have to worry about the betting chips. The loss of points that can't complete the contract is unbearable under the gamble of fifty to one,

Clockwise turned to Gu Sheng again.

Shen Wenchang obviously wanted to win the underpants of everyone present through this game. In fact, he didn't care about the gambling money. The significance of the game was only to intimidate and warn the leaders of the Beijing-Northern Army, reminding Jiang Cheng that his foundation was not stable and he still needed to win. Watch out for his face.

There are only two choices in front of Gu Sheng.

First, pass, to preserve the existing achievements to the greatest extent, no matter whether Shen Wenchang can complete the sixth-level contract, he can still protect himself as much as possible, and even win a fortune.

Second, call up.

On top of 6 Hearts is Lu Wujiang. Shen Wenchang's failure to directly call 6 Wujiang has undoubtedly revealed part of the information. Apart from his conviction that other people would not dare to call up, even he is not completely sure that he can complete this 6S covenant.Therefore, it is not impossible to win back a round from Shen Wenchang.

— but too slim.Almost negligible.

Gu Sheng just sat there quietly, as if the sighs of the people around him had nothing to do with him.No one knew what he was thinking at this moment, the crystal chandelier in the side hall shook the light slightly on his cheeks, and the shadow cast made his face somewhat unreal.

Gu Sheng tapped his index finger on the table twice, and just when everyone felt that he, as an accompanying guest, should choose wisely to give up at this moment, he said in a low voice:

"...7 have no generals."
