Ding Tian's Ancient Life

Four Seas Casino is located in the most prosperous area of ​​the city.

Next door to this place are several brothels and Chu houses, and next to this place, there are many restaurants. It can be said that this is the center of the city.

Whether it's a brothel or a restaurant, it's the place with the most traffic.

The Four Seas Gambling House alone occupies half of the street.

The layout of the entire Four Seas Casino is very simple, in the shape of a "king".

The front row is the front row, and there is a field on each side. The left side is betting on big and small, and the right side is pushing Pai Gow.

The second entrance is mahjong. There are four or five rooms on the left and right. The guests are also relatively high-end, and they are all rich and famous people.

Playing mahjong here, although it is real money, is for fun, and almost all the local older generations know each other, so they can fight and fight here.

The last entry is the market.

Gambling is at least 100 taels, and there is no upper limit.

"It is said that the most sensational time here was when there were two young masters of caravans fighting for wealth here, pushing Pai Gow, and a round of 1000 taels!" , I lost tens of thousands of taels of silver notes here! Four Seas Casino set off a hundred thousand firecrackers at the door!"

The gambling house is the banker, and the commission is enough for them to make a lot of money.

"Really dare to open the market. With such a big bet, they are not afraid of losing their money?" Ding Tian was curious: "That's a caravan, people.

The family patted their buttocks and left, where can they find someone? "

"This is the power of the Four Seas Casino." Jin Buhuan said: "When they first opened, there were caravan people who were used to rascals who came here to gamble. Borrowed money to continue gambling, and then issued an IOU, but after returning to the caravan, I went out of the city overnight without thinking about paying back the money! Guess what happened?"

"Caught back?" Ding Tian guessed: "There must have been someone to watch them!"

"No, they came back obediently to pay off their debts." Jin Buhuan gave him a blank look: "Arrest people? They have a large caravan with thousands of

The population, there are hundreds of guards alone, and the grasslands are vast, if there are no guards, the safety of the caravan will not be guaranteed.

"

"Then who are they?" This made Ding Tian curious.

"When their caravan left the customs, people withheld all the goods, because they owed money to the Four Seas Gambling House. Either they went to pay the debt, or the goods paid the bill." Jin Buhuan smashed his mouth: "The caravan also has a background, it seems to be some kind of official family, and then...they gave up, not only paid back the money, but also paid the interest of the past few days according to the interest of the bank. Someone wrote a note to them, and they went to the border again, and they got out of the customs after getting their things. This kind of thing didn't happen once or twice. After a long time, people who often went out to do business knew it, and no one dared to mess with the world. Gambling shop, gradually, their reputation spread out, and in the past few years, the officials were unlucky, but the Four Seas Gambling House is still standing, they are all running back and forth, no one is a fool, just thinking about them How deep is the water?"

Said, they have arrived at the place.

Although it was afternoon, the Four Seas Casino was still open.

Moreover, this gambling house occupies a large area and has an arrogant appearance. It is relatively high-end, but no matter how beautiful the decoration is, it cannot change the fact that it is a gambling shop.

"This place is quite interesting..." Ding Tian was a little excited when he came to the casino for the first time.

Ancient gambling houses... Don't even think about small places like Niujiao County. There are no brothels and gambling houses, and there are not many restaurants.

Each.

As soon as he finished speaking, a gambler was kicked out of the gambling house, rolled several times, and the thug spat at him arrogantly: "Well, you old boy, don't even look at this What place! Is your life worth ten taels of silver? It’s okay if you beat your girl, but unfortunately, your girl got married last year, and now she is someone else’s daughter-in-law, which has nothing to do with you !"

"I... I am her own father, I can crush her!" The guy howled as soon as he opened his mouth, "I can crush her!"

"Fuck!" Another thug gestured: "You have nothing in your house, and you still want to gamble? You forgot that your daughter-in-law has divorced you, and your daughter doesn't recognize you, right? , Old gambler, stop gambling, the money you have lost these years is enough for your family to live in prosperity, why bother?"

Ding Tian was quite surprised in his heart, there are also conscientious fighters?

The gambler didn't want to leave, but wanted to climb in. He was pulled by two thugs and dragged to the next alley. In the casino, he didn't even look at the outsiders.

Ding Tian pulled Jin Buhuan and asked him: "This thug has a conscience, doesn't he?"

"Conscientious ass!" Jin Buhuan looked at Ding Tian as he looked at Xiaobai: "The old gambler is obviously out of money, even if they smashed all the bone marrow out of his body, he would not have a few taels of silver. It's better to let such a mouse shit mess up in the casino, it's better to throw it out, because anyone who sees this guy will be afraid that he will become him too|Yeah!"

Ding Tian wiped off his cold sweat: "Understood."

To put it bluntly, the existence of the old gambler made the guests uneasy, and it was like a reminder to keep a little sobriety at all times, so that they would not be blinded by gambling or desperate.

But if everyone can control themselves and refuse to play big games, where can the casinos make money?

Jin Buhuan taught Ding Tian a lesson, and then said to Zheng Dang who came with him: "This time, you are our follower. No matter what the situation is, you should keep silent, understand?"

"Yeah!" Zheng Dang nodded hastily: "I've heard of the Four Seas Casino a long time ago, and I came to gain knowledge. My father didn't allow it before, and my mother also said that if I dare to go to an unscrupulous place, I will interrupt it." My legs, I dare not..."

Zheng Dang was born as a poor child, and his family was under great pressure. He was still the eldest, and there were younger brothers and sisters in the family. The whole family relied on the money he and his father earned as a jailer for food.

For things like gambling, he didn't even gamble during the Chinese New Year.

Especially just now, when he saw the fate of the old gambler, he was even more frightened into a cold sweat. For such things as gambling, he felt that

Got disgusted.

"Go, go in!" Ding Tian opened a fan and walked ahead with confidence.

Jin Buhuan sighed, and said to Zheng Dang, "Be smarter for a while."

"Hey!" Zheng Dang nodded immediately, he must be clever.

The three of them reached the door and mounted the steps.

There are six steps in front of the Four Seas Gambling House, not to make the threshold of the house high, but to prevent some people from saying that they entered the wrong door.

There are six steps, most people will not climb such a high step, at most two or three steps are not bad.

As for the six steps, you can't say, you walked through the door, right?

Stepping up the steps means that you have clearly come to the gambling house to play money, and the gambling house is not forcing you to come to play.

There were seven or eight people who looked like servants standing at the entrance of Sihai Gambling House, all in short attire, refreshing and capable.

It's just that when someone comes, help open the door and shout: "The three distinguished guests are here!"

Those who know each other will call out their names, such as "Uncle Li is here!", "The shopkeeper Wang is here!"

Ding Tian was here for the first time, and his face was very serious; Jin did not exchange it before, but he came to show the thugs their injuries, and all the people who came in and out were small doors, and this was the first time he went through the door.

Not to mention Zheng Dang, he is just a little transparent.

The welcoming boys at the door are all trained people, and they have very good eyesight. When they saw someone coming, they helped to open the door and shouted: "The three new guests have arrived! You three please."

The "newcomer" he yelled in this voice was to inform the inside, which meant that a new fat sheep had arrived.

Sure enough, as soon as the three of them entered the door, they attracted a lot of attention.

There is a huge counter in the hall on the north wall, and a big "gambling" character hangs on the wall arrogantly. Under the counter, there are several small tables, where some gamblers are betting. The room is open, only separated by curtains.

The curtains used in ordinary gambling shops are a piece of gray cloth, but the curtains used in other gambling shops around the world are embroidered with flowers... embroidered curtains.

Moreover, although there are many people in this room, because the room was built with a high shelf, it is not stuffy, and because the room is deep, a lot of candles are lit in the room, illuminating the room as bright as day.

There are also curtains hanging on the windows, the embroidered ones, but this kind of curtains are blue and opaque.

Lighting candles in the house is like the time is always fixed, which is very confusing.

Hearing that a "newcomer" was coming, some bankers and some gamblers looked over, and after looking over, their eyes lit up!

It's a fat sheep!

Ding Tian is wearing a ten-style brocade shirt. Under the light, this kind of brocade has different colors from different angles. It can be said that it is a must for burning bags!

This dress alone is already dazzling enough.

What's more, Ding Tian's waist was tied with a colorful red belt, on which was hung a jade plaque with blue tassels hanging on it.

Hanging on one side is a Kesi fan bag, and even the sachet is made of gold silk brocade...

On the head is a golden hairpin for men, with a ruby ​​the size of a bright red pigeon egg inlaid on it.

The ones they are stepping on are python-toed single boots made of stone blue colored satin.

In her hand is a folding fan made of bamboo bones and lacquered gold by Concubine Xiang, and she walks in with three steps, her eyes are rolling around, especially on her fingers, she wears three rings on her left hand!

One is made of red gold inlaid with rubies, the other is made of pure gold inlaid with pearls and jade, and the other is made of gold inlaid with tourmaline and rice beads.

He wears two rings on his right hand, one is emerald inlaid with gold, and the other is gold inlaid with pearls and emeralds...

Looking at the gold does not change, although he is also very rich, but his clothes are arranged by his wife, so he is not as explosive as Ding Tian, ​​just an ordinary wealthy family.

And Zheng Dang is only in short attire. Although there are new clothes inside and out, he looks like a follower... and he is carrying a box with money in it?

A discerning person saw that Ding Tian was the fat sheep.

Ding Tian was a little awkward being watched by so many people. To be honest, he did this on purpose. Burning buns is enough to burn buns, but if he is not an upstart, how could he get in?

How can you attract attention, or even go to the big market to gamble?

"Three, are you here to bet on big or small, or to push Pai Gow?" The manager of the town hall greeted him personally with a smile on his face. Such fat sheep are rare in this small border area.

"How much is a handful?" Ding Tian started talking about money.

The person in charge is even more smiling, because of this tone, it sounds like a newcomer!

"Is this your first time here? Play a few small ones first to familiarize yourself. Our Four Seas Casino is very fair. Don't worry, how about the size? This rule is the simplest..." The manager's mouth was flying, leading Ding Tian went to the betting place in the east.

Jin Buhuan followed behind, and Zheng Dang was even more nervous.

Seeing Zheng Dang's reaction, the audience was even happier. This group of people looked like novices.

Fat sheep and novices, if you don't slaughter them, you will be sorry for your luck today!

And Ding Tian also felt that if he started gambling from the lowest level...he didn't have enough time this afternoon, so after he came in, he acted very arrogant.

Gambling on big and small is the most common and direct way of betting, but this place only bets on big and small. There are dealers rolling dice on several tables, shouting loudly: "Bet big and small, buy it and leave!"

Many people were excited, and some people sighed because they were the ones who lost.

But there is no miasma, because at this time, people are still very simple, and there is no such thing as smoking.

It's just that many people gather together, good and bad, of course, there is no mess, but the taste is not flattering.

There are peddlers, big men who pick their feet, and there are no shits, but those who fart are not too particular.

In addition, the ancient people did not clean their mouths properly, and there were also bad breaths. Not everyone was very particular about brushing their teeth with green salt and willow branches. Ding Tian needed it every day.

So as soon as Ding Tian came in, he took a breath and covered his mouth and nose: "You...what's the smell here?"
