Chapter 207: You really can’t go, the master will be angry
Although it hadn't been too long since lunch and he wasn't hungry, it would have been unreasonable not to buy one after seeing what he had seen.
Yun Qingshi bought two strings, both drizzled with osmanthus honey and dipped in icing sugar. After leaving the shop, he gave one string to Ying Twelve.
Ying Twelve took the glutinous rice cake without hesitation, but he still felt very uncomfortable appearing on the street so openly.
Seeing this, Yun Qingshi patted Ying Twelve's shoulder to comfort him: "It's okay, you'll get used to it slowly. Come and try the glutinous rice cake, it's very sweet, you will probably like it."
Ying Twelve looked at Yun Qingshi and nodded seriously, then took a bite of the glutinous rice cake.
Seeing this, Yun Qingshi immediately asked with a smile: "How is it? Is it delicious?"
Ying Twelve nodded, paused, and then suddenly said, "Eleven, you seem to have changed. You're no longer the same as before."
The moment he heard this, a trace of guilt unconsciously flashed across Yun Qingshi's eyes, but he quickly responded calmly: "Twelve, people will change, but one thing will never change, we will always be brothers."
Ying Twelve nodded fiercely in approval: "Yeah!"
brother!
In the following time, the two of them leisurely visited several shops.
He had been suffering from a lack of opportunities before, but now that he had the chance, Yun Qingshi wanted to be nice to Ying Twelve as much as possible.
He took Ying Twelve out to eat, drink and go shopping along the way, and even bought her a jade pendant and an exquisite jade hair crown in a jade shop.
After coming out of the jade shop, the two continued to stroll forward.
Then Yun Qingshi, holding the candied haws, was attracted by a very busy shop.
This place is actually a bit remote, but compared with other shops that are deserted, this shop seems too lively, even a little noisy, with a lot of people crowded inside.
Looking up, there was only a big word "gambling" on the plaque, which clearly showed what kind of place this was.
Yun Qingshi stroked his chin and thought for a while, then walked into the gambling house.
Ying Twelve naturally followed without hesitation.
Yun Qingshi walked around with the candied haws in his hand, and finally chose the simplest way to compare the size by rolling the dice.
The main thing is that he doesn't know anything else.
The person who was betting with him was from the gambling house. Yun Qingshi directly bet the five taels of silver that he had just received as change after buying the jade pendant.
This was already a considerable sum of money. Seeing Yun Qingshi casually take out five taels of silver, the expression of the man opposite him immediately changed.
Then, the gambling began.
Yun Qingshi didn't have any special skills, he just played around.
But he never expected that he would win three games in a row right from the start.
Five taels became ten taels, ten taels became twenty taels, and twenty taels finally became forty taels.
Just when the man in the gambling house was about to continue to induce Yun Qingshi to increase his bet, Yun Qingshi decisively gathered the money into a bag, turned around and walked out.
This was what Yun Qingshi had planned from the beginning, to play three games.
Although this was his first time playing this, young people born under the red flag all knew the horror of gambling, even though gambling houses were legal in that era.
Unexpectedly, just as Yun Qingshi was walking to the door with the money bag, a dozen thugs holding sticks suddenly came out from both sides.
At the same time, the man who had just made a bet with him came up behind him and said, "Let's play one more round. You can't just leave after winning the money."
Yun Qingshi: ...
Yun Qingshi was now certain that winning three games in a row was not just luck, he was being set up!
But he had nothing to fear. Yun Qingshi turned and faced the man in the gambling house: "What if I don't agree?"
The gambling house man said: "If you don't agree, then you have to see if the guy in my hand agrees."
Yun Qingshi frowned as he listened. After tying his purse to his belt, he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to fight: "Okay, let's have a fight."
Seeing this, Ying Twelve grabbed Yun Qingshi's arm in time: "No, you are still injured."
After saying that, Ying Twelve quickly took out a token from his chest and showed it to the people in the gambling house.
The next moment, the arrogant man suddenly became timid, and he apologized hastily, looking like he wanted to kneel down. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't recognize the great man and offended you two. I apologize to you here. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with me."
Ying Twelve was too lazy to pay attention to this person. Seeing this, he simply put his badge back and pulled Yun Qingshi out of the gambling house.
Yun Qingshi followed Ying Twelve into an alley, full of doubt. When they were already some distance away from the gambling house, he asked Ying Twelve in confusion, "What's going on? Twelve, what was that thing you just took? Why did that person become so scared when he saw that sign?"
Ying Twelve paused and replied, "This gambling house belongs to the master, and the token was given to me by the master before I left."
Yun Qingshi was shocked: "Xiao Jiwu's gambling house?"
But then he frowned again: "Is this how he runs his business? He won't let you leave even if you win money?"
This is too lawless...
Ying Twelve shook his head and explained, "This is definitely not the master's intention. There is too much business, and the master is often unable to take care of it. I will report this to the master when I return, and someone will take care of it when the time comes."
Yun Qingshi calmed down after hearing this.
He could not accept Xiao Jiwu bullying the people by taking advantage of his strength.
After leaving the gambling house, the two continued walking forward. Yun Qingshi looked around boredly and finally stopped in front of a small building called Fengyaju.
He really couldn't tell what kind of place this was from the name. It looked more like a place selling calligraphy and paintings?
There happened to be a screen at the entrance, covering the inside tightly.
But this aroused Yun Qingshi's curiosity even more.
He couldn't help but ask Ying Twelve: "Twelve, do you know what this place is for?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Yun Qingshi finished speaking, before Ying Twelve could reply, a beautiful woman in elegant clothes at the door said with a smile, "Haha, sir, this is your first time here, you don't even know about Fengyaju. Fengyaju is full of talented women who are good at playing the piano and dancing. Those literati and elegant guests love to come here to listen to our songs."
Listen to some little tunes?
He just wanted to take a break, after all, he had been walking for a while.
Yun Qingshi then asked, "Do you have any tea here?"
The beautiful woman immediately smiled and nodded: "Of course, we not only have tea, but also all kinds of snacks."
Yun Qingshi nodded as soon as he heard it: "Okay."
What else is there to consider? He wants to go as long as there is food, drink and music to listen to.
But he never expected that as soon as he left, Shadow Twelve immediately stopped him and said, "Eleven, you can't go here."
Yun Qingshi was puzzled: "Why? What's wrong with just going to listen to a little song?"
Shadow Twelve hesitated and couldn't explain clearly, but just said: "Eleven, you really can't go, the master will be angry."
Yun Qingshi frowned after hearing this, and stopped asking questions. He directly pulled Ying Twelve over the threshold. He just thought that Ying Twelve was afraid that Xiao Jiwu would be unhappy that he came to listen to the music.
Ying Twelve was unable to stop it and couldn't help but look worried.
Yun Qingshi entered the building and looked around curiously, but didn't see anything strange.
Soon he was led into a small compartment, and there were indeed the snacks and tea that the beautiful woman had mentioned on the table.
Not long after, a girl dressed simply entered the compartment holding a pipa and began to sing.
Everything was fine at first, I was really just enjoying the songs.
But after the song ended, the woman actually walked directly to the stool next to Yun Qingshi and sat down, and put her arm around Yun Qingshi's neck: "Are you tired, sir? Do you want me to massage your shoulders?"
Yun Qingshi:!
Yun Qingshi had never seen this before, so he instinctively stood up and dodged: "What are you doing!"
At the same time, as luck would have it, this scene happened to fall into the eyes of a man wearing a veil on the third floor.
The man also cracked the red-painted wooden railing on the spot.
