Not far from the headquarters of the Huaxia Money House, there is a quiet and quiet teahouse, which is a little far from the south of the city where the princes and princes gather. Most of the people who come to drink tea and chat on weekdays are business people who have contact with the money house.

The boss behind the Four Seasons Teahouse is actually a shareholder of Huaxia Money Bank. Chen Xu occasionally visits Huaxia Money Bank to inspect or communicate with some senior shareholders, he will drink tea in the teahouse to discuss, so he is quite familiar with it.

The outside of the teahouse looks inconspicuous, but the interior decoration is very elegant. In addition to the glass windows, each teahouse has a warm couch, charcoal stove, tea table, teapot and cup, etc., and each one has seal script for making money in four seasons. Although it sounds a little vulgar, it is actually more in line with the wishes of merchants. Therefore, these four seasons teahouses are quite famous in Xianyang, and there are quite a few people coming to drink tea and talk about things.

Chen Xu's carriage entered the teahouse, and soon Lu Xiao's servants came to invite him. Chen Xu carried the water gently beside a group of guards and walked through several corridors before coming to the most remote teahouse.

"Mr. Marquis and Concubine Marquis invite me, my master will wait in the tea room!"

The servant who led the way was an old man in his sixties. He looked humble and respectful, but he was tall and steady, and he was obviously a trainer.

"You guard the tea room, no one is allowed to approach within twenty feet, and no one is allowed to enter without this marquis instructing me!"

"Here~"

A group of guards scattered in an instant, and in an instant, they tightened the surroundings of the tea room. Even the old men along the way were on the corridor twenty feet away by the guard leader.

"Squeak~"

The door was opened from the inside, and Lu Xiao was already standing at the door, wearing an ordinary cloth robes, wearing a bear fur coat on the outside, without a sword on his body, an ugly face with a respectful smile, but it could not hide the tiredness on his face, and his eyes were still bloodshot, which was completely different from his former appearance of wearing golden armor and looking extremely haggard.

"Mr. Marquis forgive me. Xiao has suffered from wind and cold recently and dared not go out to see the wind. Please, cough cough, Marquis, please!" Although Lu Xiao was a little surprised by the water beside Chen Xu, he recovered quickly and coughed gently to invite the two of them into the room.

There are kangs and stoves in the tea room, and the kettles that are constantly boiling on the stove fire. The steaming steam makes the room look warmer.

After a simple greeting, he sat down on the warm couch around the coffee table. Chen Xu smiled and picked up the tea pot and looked at it. "Lieutenant Lu seems to be very sincere today. The one I invited to this Hou to drink was actually the best Dahongpao. This tea is sweet, mellow and rare on the market!"

"The Marquis was joking. The best tea in the world is the Lushan Collection Edition of Ziyun Fairy Tea made by the Marquis himself. Unfortunately, Xiao had only drunk it twice in the palace and Feng Xiang Mansion. Although this top-quality Dahongpao is expensive, it actually tastes too bad. Moreover, Xiao was originally a martial artist and did not have that kind of literary hobby, so he could only drink it. There is no Ziyun Fairy Tea in this Four Seasons Teahouse, so he could only use Dahongpao to entertain the Marquis and the Marquis. Please don't be surprised!" Lu Xiao explained with a smile.

"It's okay, it's okay, the best Dahongpao is also a good tea, not much worse than Ziyunxian Tea. The water has already been opened. We will chat after we make the tea. Today, we were frozen at the construction site of Erqiao in the south gate for two hours, and we didn't drink a sip of hot water,..."

While speaking, Chen Xu skillfully opened the still sealed tea pot, picked up some tea leaves with bamboo clips and sniffed it gently, and put it in the cleaned teapot with satisfaction. When the water gently softly, the water lifted the kettle over and waited for the boiling water to slowly calm down. Then he poured the water into the teapot, and as a strong steam soared into the air, the room was filled with the fragrance of tea.

"It's really a good tea, the fragrance is pleasant!" Chen Xu praised and said with a smile, "It's a pity that Lieutenant Lu suffered from the cold, so he was afraid he couldn't smell the fragrance of this tea!"

"Cough cough, Xiao is a rough man, and he drinks tea like a cow on weekdays. His wife says that I am a waste of resources and only gives me the cheapest rough tea at home. I can't tell whether the tea smells fragrant or not!" Lu Xiao replied with a dry smile.

After chatting for a few words, the tea fragrance became stronger. Water gently filled three cups of new tea. After another thank you, the three of them picked up the tea cup and slowly savored the tea. After waiting for a cup of hot tea, Chen Xu put down the tea cup with relief: "It is indeed a rare enjoyment to be able to drink a cup of hot tea this cold day, and it is even more rare to have Lieutenant Lu treat him. It has been nine years since I arrived in the capital. Lieutenant Lu seems to be the first time I invite this Marquis. Okay, Lieutenant Lu's tea man marquis has already drunk. Let's talk about it if we have something to do..."

While Chen Xu was speaking, he took out two playing cards from his pocket and placed them side by side on the coffee table. Then he looked at Lu Xiao with a smile on his face, "Lieutenant Lu wants to know why Caohua 9 can turn into Caohua 6 in the hands of this hou?"

Lu Xiao's expression suddenly became excited, and he nodded repeatedly and said with a red face, saying, "Since the Marquis invented this playing card and stutter, Xiao felt that all other plays in the world were boring. He could still win some money in the chess and card room in Chunfangyuan every time, but he lost a lot in recent months. Therefore, today he invited the Marquis to drink tea, and he also wanted to ask the secret of this play. If Xiao learned a little or two and won back his money, he would definitely invite the Marquis and the Marquis to have a big meal!"

Chen Xu's smile slowly solidified, and he gently knocked on the coffee table with his hands and said, "Lieutenant Lu is not a stupid person. He should know that the foundation of the play is entertainment. There are still differences in high and low strength when fighting cocks, dogs, horses and pots. There is still a contest of wisdom and depth. However, the play of dice is purely related to luck, and has nothing to do with personal strength and wisdom. It is a real gambling tool. If the participants are deeply trapped, they cannot extricate themselves. They abandon the foundation of farming and production and just want to get it without work. But everyone thinks so, but where does the money come from? This time I came back, I heard that the chess and card rooms in Chunfangyuan are very lively every day, and the winners and losses of each game are hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Many officials of the court and princes and princes and ministers are deeply involved in it without psychological politics. The one who makes this martyr most heartbroken is Lieutenant Lu..."

Chen Xu looked up at Lu Xiao, "I heard that there was news in the chess and card room that Lieutenant Lu had lost for several months and had lost hundreds of thousands of family funds one after another. Is this true?"

Lu Xiao's face turned red, his lips trembled a few times and bowed in frustration, "Mr. Marquis said nothing wrong. Recently, Xiao was not lucky and lost almost every day, but the more he lost, the more he wanted to win back, so he would take the risk of increasing his bets. He always thought he could win back the lost money. This has been repeated for about three months, and he lost a total of more than 500,000 yuan..."

"So much?" The water that had been sitting beside the stove was brewing tea and pouring tea softly could not help but exclaim and put down the tongs.

"Yes, Xiao's mansion was still quite rich. Xiao had already bought a piece of land near Cuju Shopping Mall to build a villa. However, after losing for a few months, he had no money to continue to build. Xiao originally wanted to sell the land and pay back the money to continue to gamble. However, the Marquis came back and gambled with Jiancheng Hou again, so Xiao saw the Marquis' unpredictable gambling technique. Therefore, he was shocked. He had not dared to go to the chess and card room in the past half a month. He hesitated for a long time before asking the Marquis to see him secretly and wanted to learn some gambling techniques before going to Chunfangyuan. But the Marquis don't worry, Xiao would never reveal a slight amount, and he just wanted to win back the lost money. He would never use this technique to win more money!" Lu Xiao nodded and explained, while ensuring that the method taught by Chen Xu would not spread, nor would he use this method to win money by gambling!

"Haha, this method is not a magical technique, and it is not difficult to learn it. It's just a trick. Lieutenant Lu is so sincere. It's okay for me to teach you. This method can be done occasionally. The so-called willingness to accept the loss. The root of this method is a fraud. Once you are often used and the techniques are not well-established, I'm afraid that Lieutenant Lu will not be able to bear the consequences. Lieutenant Lu should know that the opponent with you is either Qinghou or an important official in the dynasty, and there are even top families like royal families and Wuchenghou. If they find out that you have been using fraud... Hehe!" Chen Xu sneered a few times without saying anything.

Amid Chen Xu's sneer, Lu Xiao suddenly made a huge swing for no reason. His originally haggard face instantly twisted and looked as ugly as a shoehorn. At the same time, his heart was pounding. He picked up the teacup with dry mouth and poured a cup of hot hot tea into his throat.

Chen Xu:...

This cup of hot tea was just poured out, and the temperature was not 90 degrees or 80 degrees. This guy actually took a chew and nothing happened. It can be seen that he was a thick-skinned and rough-hearted warrior, and his pain nerves were almost zero. If he fought with such a person, he could not control his vital points in an instant, and he would soon be chopped into pieces.

"Mr. Jian Jiancheng Hou was twice, winning and losing. One win and the other lost. Losing was convinced, but winning was a bit unfair. This marquis was determined to win Lin Xian'er, but he didn't expect that this slut would be rude..." Chen Xu snorted slightly and picked up the teacup and sipped a sip of steaming tea.

"Nine out of ten bets will lose, and no one will win. Lieutenant Lu is the most valued minister of His Majesty. He is in charge of the fourth battalion of the imperial guards in the capital and has the responsibility to protect the safety of the capital and the palace. How can I be addicted to gambling? This marquis showed his cards to watch with Lieutenant Lu on the same day, just to remind you not to get deeply involved. No matter who is 500,000 yuan, it is a huge sum of money. However, Lieutenant Lu lost so much money for three consecutive months, and he actually wanted to win it back, which really left me speechless..."

Chen Xu looked at Lu Xiao seriously, "Beting the opera is a game, but Lieutenant Lu is already in it and cannot extricate himself. Now he plans to sell his property and continue. Don't you know that this is a bottomless pit that will never be filled, let alone, some of them think that Lieutenant Lu loses so much that he can't support it, and even owes a large amount of gambling debts..."

"Clang~"

Lu Xiao's body shook suddenly, and the teacup in his hand fell off the tea table and rolled onto the kang, but he seemed to wake up instantly. He picked up the teacup in a hurry and put it on the tea table. His face was twisted and his breathing was heavy, and it was obvious that his inch was already messy.
