The lazy monkey said humbly, "Grandpa, it's fine if you want to win my pants, but my pants are old and they smell like urine. Do you really...really want them?"

Gao Yanei was furious. "Pah! Pah! Grandpa doesn't want your pants. I want you to lose so badly that you take off your pants."

"That's easy. I'll take it off right now." The lazy monkey said as he was about to take off his pants. When it comes to shamelessness, he is not afraid of Gao Yanei.

Ding Dusai took one look and quickly turned his face away, whispering, "Sir, let's go."

Zhang Shixun said cheerfully, "Don't worry, wait a little longer."

"They're just scoundrels. What's so good about them?" Ding Dusai simply turned around and said with his back to him, "I don't want to see them. I don't want to see them."

Zhang Shixun said with great certainty, "That guy won't really take it off."

Sure enough, the slow loris was just pretending.

Gao Yanei took the black porcelain bowl, threw six copper coins into it, and shook it with a "clattering" sound, chanting "Bei Chun! Bei Chun! Bei Chun...!"

Gao Wu and Gao Liu also shouted, "Carry Chun...!"

With a "bang!" Gao Yanei slammed the black porcelain bowl onto the wooden board and shouted at the lazy monkey, "You thief! Open it!"

"Grandpa! Let's...let's not open it. I admit defeat, okay? You can take all the ringo away." The lazy monkey said with a hunched back, stealing a glance at Zhang Shixun.

"Bah! Do you think I'm short of this little bit of ringo? To be honest with you, what I'm fighting for today is not the ringo, but a breath of air." Gao Yanei put his hands on his hips, putting on a very heroic look.

"Then... I'll open it." The lazy monkey put on a helpless look and carefully opened the black porcelain bowl.

"Six...pure!" the onlookers exclaimed in surprise.

Gao Yanei opened his mouth wide, and stared at the six copper coins with the front side facing up with his toad eyes.

Gao Wu, the henchman next to him, spat and cursed fiercely, "Yanei, you are such a coward! You are so unlucky today."

Because he spoke too quickly, it sounded like "Yanei Ma Bie is shrinking."

Gao Yanei, having no place to vent his anger, slapped him across the face and said, "You're the one who's cowardly!" Then he put his hands on his hips and said to the slow monkey, "I win. Give all the ringo to grandpa."

"Sir, we are talking about a pure back. You win all the money." The lazy monkey pointed at the six copper coins and said, "Look carefully, these are six pure coins."

"Nonsense! What I mean is that no matter whether it's Liu Chun or Bei Chun, I win." Gao Yanei started to act like a rogue.

Zhang Shixun was both angry and amused when he saw this. He walked up and patted Gao Yanei on the shoulder, "Hey! Yanei, Happy New Year! If you don't go to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the cat will quietly make a fortune here."

Gao Yanei was startled. He turned around and saw that it was Zhang Shixun. His old face flushed and he stood up and said, "It's Old Zhang. When did you get here?"

I stopped calling him "brother" and started calling him "Lao Zhang".

Zhang Shixun didn't argue with him. "I've been here for a while, and seeing that you were so interested, I didn't want to disturb your leisure time."

"Haha!" Gao Yanei laughed dryly.

"Haha!" Zhang Shixun looked at him with a smile.

Gao Yanei laughed and said, "Forget it! I'm done playing. It's time for me to go and pay New Year's greetings. To be honest, brother, I've had really bad luck today. I spent over a thousand copper coins and didn't even get to eat a piece of apple peel."

Gambling was strictly prohibited in the Song Dynasty, and was only allowed for three days during the New Year period.

Therefore, vendors of all sizes along the street would take the opportunity to participate during the three days of the New Year. Vegetable sellers gambled, toy sellers gambled, firecracker sellers gambled... In short, you gambled, I gambled, everyone gambled!

There are many different ways to play Guanpu, most of which are simple and crude.

Don't you want to buy some fruit? Come on! It only costs a small amount of money and you can try your luck.

Do you see these copper coins?

Flip them, and if all heads face up, congratulations! You can win all my fruits...

The ability to make a small fortune with a small investment is not unique to gamblers. It can be said that everyone has a gambling nature to a certain extent.

There is no denying that this is a weakness of human nature.

Winning money will arouse the desire to win more.

Losing money aroused his desire for revenge and he was determined to get it back at all costs.

The final outcome is a complete loss.

The government of the Song Dynasty was well aware of the harm of gambling, so it banned it.

Gao Yanei only lost a few copper coins at the beginning, and he wanted to win back the money he lost, but he got deeper and deeper into trouble and it was out of control. He became angry and embarrassed and started to cheat.

If it weren't for meeting Zhang Shixun, conflict would be inevitable.

Li Kui, Lazy Monkey and others are not good people either. They specialize in making a living by cheating others.

Zhang Shixun was absolutely certain that even if Gao Yanei was lucky enough to win, Lazy Monkey and the others would not let him take the things away.

In order to confirm his idea, Zhang Shixun waited until Gao Yanei left and then waved to the lazy monkey.

"Sir." The lazy monkey came running over happily, bowing and kowtowing, saying auspicious words such as "good fortune, longevity and health".

Li Kui also came over with a lecherous look on his face. Seeing Ding Dusai next to Zhang Shixun, he immediately recognized her as a woman and said hurriedly, "I wish you and your wife a happy new year and a long and happy life together."

Ding Dusai's face suddenly turned red.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Zhang Shixun waved his hands, his face tense. "Let me ask you two, if that guy really won, would you really admit defeat?"

The slow monkey and Li Kui looked at each other.

Li Kui said with a forced smile, "To answer your Excellency, that fellow can't win even if he throws it to the sky."

"Why is this?" Zhang Shixun was very curious.

The slow monkey took out a copper coin from his pocket and handed it over.

Zhang Shixun took the copper coin and looked at it. It was a relatively new copper coin.

The four big characters "Xuanhe Tongbao" are very clear, in Zhao Ji's thin gold style, with iron-stroked and silver-hooked strokes, upright and handsome.

"Is there something strange about this copper coin?" Zhang Shixun looked at it over and over again, but could not find anything wrong.

It is said that since he came to the Song Dynasty, he rarely used copper coins and always carried silver when going out.

Ding Dusai, who was standing nearby, saw the problem immediately and said with a smile, "Sir, there is definitely something fishy about this coin. There are characters on both sides, and no back."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shixun took another closer look and discovered that both sides of the coin were the same.

So that's why. No wonder Li Kui said Gao Yanei couldn't win.

The probability of six coins landing on the back side at the same time is already very small. With this Xibei coin, the lazy monkeys are sure to win.

It really fits the saying: shrimps have their own paths, and crabs have their own tracks.

Zhang Shixun pointed at the two liars in front of him and said nothing.

The two men were so frightened that they knelt down and pointed to the sky and the ground, saying, "We don't cheat the poor, we only cheat the rich."

Zhang Shixun kicked each of them. "You've been cheating and deceiving people everywhere... You've forgotten everything I told you to do, haven't you?!"
