Ren Yaoqi was shocked when he heard Zeng Kui's name and quickly said, "Stop the car!"
The carriage stopped in front of Li Tianyou and Min Wenqing.
Ren Yaoqi lifted the car curtain and got out.
Min Wenqing was still dressed the same way as before, holding the horse's reins. He wasn't surprised to see Ren Yaoqi, and nodded and greeted him.
Li Tianyou scratched his hair, looked at Ren Yaoqi, and forced a smile: "Niece, are you going back now?" He had been glaring at Min Wenqing fiercely before, but now his expression changed quickly.
Ren Yaoqi bowed and then asked, "Did Uncle just meet Zeng Kui?"
"Ah! You also know Zeng Kui? Oh, right. He seems..." Li Tianyou paused here, glanced at Min Wenqing, and did not continue.
Ren Yaoqi frowned and asked, "He said he wanted to bet on horse racing with you?"
Li Tianyou glanced at Min Wenqing, then waved his hand and said, "I know, I know. No more gambling! Stop preaching! Besides, that brat from the Zeng family couldn't even beat little brat Min, and he still wants to fight me? Would I be so stupid as to let him lower my level!"
Ren Yaoqizhi frowned and looked at Qiu Sheng: "What's going on?"
Qiu Sheng glanced at Li Tianyou, then whispered what had just happened.
It turned out that after Li Tianyou left home today, he went to a theater that he liked, and successfully gave away dozens of folding fans he had written on along with the reward money. Later, the young master of the Su family and Zeng Kui also came.
Zeng Kui saw that Li Tianyou was very familiar with him and said that he had long heard of Mr. Li's name and wanted to find an opportunity to bet on horse racing with him. The people around him started to make a fuss when they heard this.
Li Tianyou has always been a frequent visitor to this kind of gambling game, so it is not surprising for him to be invited to gamble by others.
However, before Li Tianyou agreed to Zeng Kui's bet, Min Wenqing and several of his soldiers appeared in the theater.
Seeing the lively scene, Min Wenqing said that he also wanted to gamble a few times, and said that it would be better to do it today than to wait for a day to gamble on horses, so he might as well gamble on Pai Gow on the spot.
Li Tianyou ignored Min Wenqing, so Min Wenqing took advantage of Zeng Kui's previous instigation to confront Zeng Kui. Zeng Kui had made the biggest fuss before, and Min Wenqing said that he wanted to gamble with him and he couldn't refuse in public, so he set up a gambling table on the spot.
As a result, after just a few rounds of play, no matter how the seats were changed, Min Wenqing won and Zeng Kui lost. Zeng Kui lost all the 500 taels of silver notes he had on him, and also lost the 300 taels that Mr. Su Er lent him.
Regardless of what Zeng Kui's purpose was in instigating the gambling game with Li Tianyou at the beginning, his competitive spirit was aroused at this time. He said that Pai Gow was not fun and time-consuming, so he might as well gamble with dice.
Min Wenqing played with the Pai Gow in his hand and said playfully, "I don't care what we bet on, but since the rules have changed, shouldn't the betting also change?"
Li Tianyou had been watching the fun from the beginning, but now he was hiding in the background with a wicked look on his face, offering advice: "That's right! Gambling is boring and vulgar, and it doesn't suit your status! Why don't you just go big? The loser takes off his clothes! Whoever takes off all his clothes has to run around Zhengyang Street naked."
Those who usually gambled with Li Tianyou were all shameless people, and now they all came to join in the fun.
Min Wenqing's expression remained unchanged, still smiling: "I have no objection. What does Master Zeng say?"
