Indulgence in the Red Chamber

Lin Ning came out of the teahouse, and according to Xiaoer's words, he found a place called "Shunfeng Casino".Lifting one's foot to enter the door, the room is full of smog and noise, some are yelling, some are shouting 'three', 'four', 'five'... all of them are red-faced, six out of ten are red-eyed .The rest either lose money and lose money, or win money secretly.Lin Ning heard their vulgar yelling in his ears, and what he saw in his eyes were greedy faces intertwined.Smelling the body odor and sour smell of sweat that they hadn't showered for a few days in their noses, their chests throbbed, and they really wanted to leave immediately.But thinking of Daiyu's ruthless words again, I felt very depressed, and finally stopped, looked left and right, then found a huge gambling table, and slowly squeezed in.After looking at two of them, he took out the silver from his pocket and joined the game.

As the saying goes, if you are frustrated in love, you will be proud in the casino.This is true.

"Buy it fast! Buy it fast! It's about to open! It's about to open!" The dealer was still yelling.

"I'll buy big!" Lin Ning patted it down with one palm.

This clear and clear cry startled all the gamblers, and all eyes moved from the gaming table to him.

In an instant, the gamblers who couldn't tell the difference between the north and the south, and couldn't remember their parents, wives and children, woke up sharply one by one as if clear water was blowing on their faces. The handsome man in the shirt is as fresh and pure as a green lotus in the water, with such a delicate and slightly shy face, and a teasing sneer in his eyes as bright as a cold star, everyone doubts that in their dreams, when did this man come from? It fell from the sky?

"Hey! I'm buying a big one! Hurry up!" Lin Ning waved his hand, and a gust of wind woke up the dealer who was still in a daze.

"Oh...my lord...this...this is not the place you should come to." The dealer regained his composure and hesitated.

"Why can't I come?" Lin Ning smiled, waved his hand again, and pointed his long finger at the people around him, "They can all come, of course I can come, you should hurry up!"

"My lord, you should go back and study hard. It is better to strive for fame than anything else." A gambler with a conscience in the crowd persuaded.

"Cut! Are you betting or not?" Lin Ning smiled disdainfully.

"Scholar, this is not something you can play. Let's go."

"Who says scholars can't gamble? The law of the Qing Dynasty stipulated this? Hey, you can't open it?" Lin Ning frowned.asked unwillingly.

"Uh, okay, son, how much do you bet?" The dealer swallowed and said no more.

"How many of these are there?" Lin Ning asked, pointing to the scattered silver on the table.

"These—about 30 taels."

"I'll bet 50 taels." Lin Ning said, took out a bank note from his purse, and slapped it on the table, "Quickly open! I'll buy the big one."

The dealer shook his dice, and dozens of pairs of eyes stared at his hands. Finally, when he lay heavily on the table, all eyes were fixed on the lid.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!"

"Big! Big! Small! Small!"

The gamblers shouted, and the banker whetted everyone's appetite, and finally lifted the cover.

"Haha...it's big! I won!" Lin Ning laughed loudly, reaching out for money unceremoniously.

"Ah! Moldy smell!"

Some are happy and some are sad.

"Come again! Come again!"

Lin Ning exclaimed excitedly, she looked like a standard gambler, if everyone thought she had some otherworldly scholarly temperament just now, it was gone now.

So I continued to buy and open, I don't know if he was very lucky, or the dealer took special care of him, anyway, she opened whatever she bought, and after a few rounds, a pile of silver and some small bank notes were piled up in front of her. .

"I'm so lucky today!" Lin Ning put the silver leaf in his pocket and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I have to take a step ahead."

"You...you just leave?" The dealer couldn't help but stop him, and leave after winning the money?

"Yeah, I'm very hungry. I'm going to eat. I'll come to play another day." Lin Ning turned his head and smiled. With that smile, his eyebrows and eyes were bright, and everyone was dazzled. away.

After leaving the casino, I feel much better.Lin Ning turned around and entered the Hongxiang Garden.

After all, he returned to the capital of the Qing Dynasty. If he didn't go to a brothel, how could he be considered a man?Because the weather was still early, at noon, the girls in the Hongxiang Garden were resting, and the hall was deserted.

Well, it's my first time visiting a brothel, and I really don't have much experience.Lin Ning laughed at himself, looked around, and finally opened his voice to yell, and the bustard inside rushed out. The second floor of the stairs was crowded with girls in red and green in a short time.They winked and flirted coquettishly, wishing they could immediately come up and hug Lin Ning and take a bite.

No matter what dynasty or generation, whores love handsome guys.What's more, Lin Ning is a standard handsome guy, a cute type.

Today, you must be drunk and dreamy for a while!

This was the only thought in Lin Ning's mind.

"Buddhist, set up a high-class banquet! Find two top girls to sing for me. This is the food and drink money. If I am happy with the meal, there will be rewards." Lin Ning spoke from his arms. He took out a piece of silver and threw it into the bosom of the old bustard, the fat old bustard immediately smiled.

Seeing that it was time for dinner, Daiyu walked through the hallway of the mansion in a sullen manner, followed by snow geese.

"Miss, don't worry. He is full of kung fu, and has so many evil intentions. He is not a master who can suffer at all. He will be thankful if he doesn't go indiscriminately, and he won't harm others. You’re bullying me? Maybe I’m having a good time somewhere right now. Miss is just worrying here for nothing.” Xueyan walked all the way, persuading her, chattering endlessly.

"It's been a whole day, and I haven't seen anyone. He doesn't have any relatives or friends in the capital. Where can he go?" Daiyu sighed, shook her head, turned her head three times, and only hoped that the familiar figure would suddenly appear in front of her. behind.

"Miss, don't worry. When he comes back, I will scold him severely to vent my anger for Miss."

"That's all. Why scold him? I'm not sure what the reason is at this moment." Daiyu shook her head and went back to the small courtyard where she and Jinyu lived.

"Sister?" Jinyu had just changed her clothes, and was looking for Daiyu to go to Fujin's room for dinner. Seeing Daiyu coming back from the outside listlessly, she looked at Xueyan and asked tentatively, "That guy hasn't come back yet?"

Daiyu smiled helplessly and shook her head.

"Call someone to look for it. Call Madam Liu!" Jin Yu turned her head and told her girl.

The little girl, Liansheng, hurriedly walked away to summon the housekeeper's wife.Jinyu and Daiyu walked out hand in hand. Just as they walked through the hallway and before turning to the door of Fujin's room, they saw Liansheng running back in a hurry and said out of breath, "Gege, girl. Mr. Ning is back!"

"Amitabha, he's finally back. If I don't come back, I'll just die!" Daiyu let out a long breath, turned around with her head down, and walked into Fujin's room.

Jinyu was not in a hurry, pulled Liansheng and asked in a low voice: "Did you say where he went? I haven't even seen a single person all day. Could it be that someone outside made things difficult for him?"

"Oh, my Gege!" Liansheng sighed in a low voice, pulled Jinyu to hide aside, and said anxiously: "Don't let Miss Lin hear it. Mr. Ning was drunk outside, three steps away. He came back shaking. He still called something red, fragrant and green. I don’t know if it’s the name of a sister in a brothel..."

Xueyan was suspicious at first, but when she saw Liansheng pulling Jinyu to talk, she became more and more suspicious.Fortunately, Daiyu had already entered Fujin's courtyard, and didn't hear these words, so she turned around angrily and ran to the front study.

When Jinyu and Liansheng met, they looked at each other, Liansheng snickered, Jinyu shook his head, and ordered: "Don't talk nonsense! Go and see that girl Xueyan, Lin Ning is already drunk, so what's the point of talking drunk?" Son? Don’t pick up his wine again! Ask the kitchen to prepare hangover soup, and order someone to take care of him! I’ll go in for dinner first, and you’ll tell Nanny Liu to come see me again!”

"Yes. Gege don't worry." Lin Ning saved Liansheng's life, and his heart naturally turned to him, so he nodded hastily and ran away in a hurry.

in the guest room.

Lin Ning lay drunk on the couch, his face was flushed, his braids and clothes were quite messy.He didn't care about the aggression of the girl in the snow-green summer shirt beside him, he just closed his eyes slightly and smiled foolishly.

"Did you hear it?!" Xue Yan talked for a long time, his mouth was dry, but the person in front of him was too drunk, so he ignored his words.

"Snow Yan." Liansheng came in from the outside, looked at Lin Ning who was very drunk, and pulled Xue Yan, "Young master is so drunk, it's useless if you say it. Let's get some cold water to wipe his face Bar."

"You don't care about him! Our lady didn't eat all day because of him! How many times did he run back and forth? He is fine, having a good time outside, and coming back after drinking like this, is he worthy of our lady?!"

"Okay, okay, what do you think of him? Does he have to come back with something to balance your mind? Stop making trouble—" Liansheng said, glaring at the two little girls at the door, and ordered: "Why don't you go to the kitchen quickly and order them to get hangover soup? Then go and bring clean cold water, wring out a towel and wipe your face!"

"Liansheng!" Xueyan stomped her feet angrily, and then saw that Lin Ning was fast asleep, gritted her teeth angrily, and said bitterly, "You are aiming at him!"

"My good sister, if he is really sick, why is Miss Lin worrying about it? It's our good fortune that he is doing well now." Liansheng smiled, took the washbasin handed over by the little girl, and wrung it dry. Hand towel to wipe Lin Ning's face.

Seeing this, Xueyan pouted her mouth even more unhappy, stepped forward and grabbed the towel from Liansheng's hand, and said, "You don't need to be courteous!"

Liansheng was not angry, but just looked at Xueyan amusedly, shook his head, and simply sat aside and watched Xueyan busy alone.He smiled again: "I don't show courtesy, this is all your job, I am happy to sit here and rest for a while. You are a man with a knife mouth and a bean curd heart. Just now you scolded people so hard, now you are wiped out by others face, and not shy."

"Bah! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll twist your mouth! I just waited on him for the sake of seeing our lady's doctor, and he was just dragging our lady's blessing." Xueyan said, putting Lin Ning wiped his face clean, threw the towel into the washbasin, turned around and fetched a pillow, and lifted Lin Ning's head on the pillow himself.
