The spacious VIP private room has gold-leafed walls, gold-leafed ceilings, and also gold-leafed floors.
Beside the big mahogany gambling table, young men in fine clothes rolled up their sleeves and stepped on stools. Some even exposed half of their chests, slapping the chips at the top of their lungs and roaring like hooligans.
Next to each handsome young man, there are one, two, three or four beautiful women and girls. They are more excited than these young men. Their buns are messy, their hairpins are swaying, and some of them are wearing skirts.
Messy, dripping with sweat, waving his fists and yelling.
In the entire private room, there were more than a dozen young men, several times the number of beauties, and dozens of maids running back and forth. All of them were so busy that they were sweating profusely and their faces were red.
Only Lu Qian, who was sitting next to Le De, and the three casino croupiers who were responsible for rolling the dice and putting away the chips, remained calm and composed, and their faces did not even turn red.
The dealers are well-informed, and no matter they win or lose, they are always the final winners, so they naturally won't have too many psychological fluctuations.
As for Lu Qian...
Money is really just a concept to him, and he doesn't have much experience with it.
money?
Not to mention the huge wealth that Lu Qian now has that he is too lazy to calculate, let's just say that he has gone to a certain big prince and told him that as long as he gives him the enlightenment and forcibly upgrades him to the Fiery Realm, he will be able to
Extend life for thousands of years...
How much gold, silver, copper coins, and rare treasures can be exchanged for just this?
Wealth in the secular world is really just a concept to Lu Qian, who has already planted the golden lotus.
Therefore, Le De's hands were stinky and he lost thousands of coins as soon as he went to the table. Lu Qian took out a few top-notch gambling beads without changing his expression, exchanged them for thousands of coins, and handed them to Le De casually.
Le De was as excited as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood. He howled and pushed up the chips one by one.
Lu Qian smiled and followed the bets with a few small chips. No matter what Le De bet, he would follow suit. Once Le De lost all the chips, he took out various pearls and jade without changing his expression.
The best emerald clam cat's eye stones and the like were exchanged for a lot of chips and thrown to Le De.
In this way, at the end, the faces of those enthusiastic young masters changed slightly, and they all looked at Lu Qian thoughtfully.
Finally, while the Golden Gou Gambling House brought a sweet soup that could clear away heat and relieve fire, and everyone was taking a nap while drinking the soup, there was a young man with a crooked crown, and there were several mature and beautiful women standing around him, and he turned toward Lu Qian.
Pointed.
"Lede, what, Qian Yuyi? Don't you usually take him around for a walk? Why, you have changed your follower? Besides, this luck is a bit ridiculous!"
Qian Youyi was the eldest son of the grain merchant who sold the house to Lu Qian. He followed Le De everywhere on weekdays. When Le De ate, drank and had fun, Qian Youyi basically paid the bills.
However, Qian Youyi's actions were definitely not as generous as Lu Qian's.
In just over an hour, Lede has already lost thirty to forty thousand yuan. For young masters like them, this is not a small sum of money. The main thing is that they are all a bunch of dudes and they can't get involved in the family at all.
owns the industry, but actually doesn’t have much spare money on hand.
Le De wiped his face with a hot towel and patted Lu Qian's arm proudly.
"My brother, Lehuo... just came to Lezhou City. He bought a house on the Davidia Street at the southwest gate of Qingping Leyuan, and then he followed me. Brothers and sisters, I met you in Lezhou City.
If you are happy, you can take more care of me."
Lu Chen smiled, stood up, and saluted the dandy gentlemen with clasped fists: "I'm very happy. I'm new here. Please take care of me, gentlemen."
A group of young men looked at Lu Qian disinterestedly for a while, with green light flashing in their eyes, obviously treating him as a big fat sheep.
Next, it was another bad gamble.
Le De lost in disbelief, but a group of young men were overjoyed when they won. Lu Yan, with his face unchanged and his heart not beating, exchanged chips one after another, and helped Le De lose hundreds of thousands of dollars.
In the end, all the dandy boys were a little frightened, and Le De's expression was a little abnormal.
On this day, the gambling game played by Lede and his gang at the Golden Hook Casino ended more than an hour earlier than usual. Before midnight, they ended up hastily, hugging their beauties one by one, not knowing where to continue.
Went to have fun.
Le De, hunched over and wrapped in a thin cotton cloak, slowly walked out of the Golden Hook Casino.
After going down two steps, Le De looked back at Lu Qian.
"Lehuo... Come on, I'm not a fool. Your move is a bit too generous. Although I, Lede, are related to the Queen Mother, I am not worth so much money. If it were my eldest brother, it might be about the same.
"
"Tell me, if you give me money like this, what do you want from me?"
"Let's start with the ugly talk. There is no small matter in this Lezhou City that I can't handle... As for the big matters, hey, you tell me first and I'll listen, but there is a high probability that I won't be able to handle it."
Le De spread his hands towards Lu Qian and sighed: "I can probably accomplish something worth a thousand dollars, so that kid Qian Youyi has been eager to play with me all these years...
If it’s more than a thousand guan, you’ve found the wrong person!” Gu
Lu Qian smiled brightly.
This Le De is interesting. Although it is not a good thing, this bachelor's rogue energy is really interesting, interesting...
"What did Mr. Le De say? I just bought the Qian family's house and you came to the door. This proves that we are destined." Lu Qian waved his hand: "Don't worry about a little money, you are just a loser.
It’s only a hundred thousand dollars. To me, it’s small money.”
Lede was startled: "Lehuo, please don't show off in front of me. Ten thousand yuan is just a small amount of money?"
Lu Qian smiled and nodded: "It's really just a small amount of money. I plan to buy the eighteen new Huang Buildings in Qingpingfang. From now on, the Xin Huang Buildings will be my business to settle down in Lezhou City. I am a foreigner and I have no one to see in Lezhou City."
Dear, you need your help to keep an eye on this deal."
Before Le De could speak, Lu Qian smiled and said, "If you can't keep an eye on me, you can introduce someone who can!"
Le De was stunned, and then smiled.
He paused and poked Lu Qian's chest: "He is a cheerful person. Okay, I'll help you with this. Hey, who told us we were destined?"
Lu Qian invited Le De again to go to the Baisha River that flows through Qingpingfang, built a boat, and found a group of girls to accompany him. They had a good drink and got Le De drunk until he was drunk.
As soon as the mandarin duck was thrown out of the quilt, Lu Qian ran away.
On the second day, in the afternoon, a famous card was delivered to Lu Qian's Lezhai.
In the lobby of Lezhai, Leyi, the eldest brother of Lede's mother, was sitting steadily on a chair, holding a tea cup and looking at the various furnishings in the lobby.
"I know this house." Le Yi looked at it for a long time and looked at Lu Yi a few more times before nodding and saying: "Qian Yiyi, that boy who hangs out with Le De, Le De often comes here to see him.
I just didn’t expect that Le De would get to know such an interesting person.”
Before Lu Qian could speak, Le Yiman said in a loud voice: "Your surname is also Le? Is it true or false?"
Lu Qian smiled and cupped his hands towards Le Yi: "Jizhou City, Lejia, a well-known and wealthy family, their property is in Jizhou, and their ranking is among the top ten. This cannot be faked."
Le Yi nodded: "Why are you here?"
Lu Qian smiled and said: "Lezhou City was robbed, and all the people in the city died, and the death was miserable and strange. I didn't dare to stay, so I had to leave."
Le Yi narrowed her eyes: "Why not go to Haojing?"
Lu Qian sighed: "Without an official, no position, no backer, living in the capital is not easy... There are too many princes and nobles over there, and sometimes I offend someone and I don't know how I died."
"As for Lezhou City, the Le family is the only one. As long as you make friends with any of the Le family's young masters, your family...even if there is a conflict, it will just be a few quarrels. It will not be like Hao Jing's house, which will be confiscated and destroyed at every turn.
disaster."
Le Yi laughed: "That makes sense."
Putting down the tea cup in her hand, Le Yi looked at Lu Qian and said calmly: "However, since you bought the Qian family's house and are planning to buy the Xinhuang Building, do you know why they sold off the property and left Lezhou City?
ah?"
Lu Qian pondered for a moment and slowly shook his head: "I am new here. These days, I have only been traveling day and night. I really don't know the mystery behind it... Could it be that there is something weird?"
Lu Qian asked Le Yi.
Le Yi stood up, walked to Lu Yi, lowered her head slightly, looked down at Lu Yi who was sitting on the chair, and said word by word: "Are you... afraid you are not a spy sent by the palace guard?"
Lu Qian looked at Le Yi with a horrified look on his face: "Why did Mr. Le Yi say this? Palace guard? How can Le Huo, a good citizen, have anything to do with that place?"
Lu Qian's eyes widened and he turned pale and asked Le Yi: "Is it possible that it's because of Le Huo's friendship with Mr. Le De?"
Lu Qian hurriedly complained: "After Le Huo knew the identity of Mr. Le De, he did intend to make friends with him... However, he did not intend to get acquainted with Mr. Le De... This, this, this... this is Mr. Le De, and he came to visit on his own initiative!
"
Le Yi clasped her hands behind her back, squinted her eyes, looked at Lu Qian up and down for a long time, finally turned around and scolded him.
A middle-aged man with an air-conditioned body and an expressionless face walked into the lobby and walked straight to Lu Qian. His hands were like the wind, and he followed Lu Qian's fingers and touched his palms, arms, body, and thighs.
.
Lu Qian smiled and let the middle-aged man do whatever he wanted.
The middle-aged man even took off Lu Qian's shoes, took off his foot wrap and rubbed it carefully for a while. Then he stood up, took a few steps back, and nodded towards Le Yi.
"There are no signs of martial arts training anywhere on his body, and looking at his pulse..."
The middle-aged man looked at Lu Qian and coughed dryly: "Mr. Lehuo... ahem, his pulse is the same as Mr. Lede's. Maybe he doesn't pay attention to maintenance on weekdays, and his kidney water is a bit too deficient."
The corners of Le Yi's mouth twitched, and she looked at Lu Qian's transformed face with beards, and suddenly laughed "hahaha": "I see...Brother Lehuo, I'm here alone."
Lezhou City? Is this road still safe?"
Lu Qian hurriedly smiled and said: "How can I be alone? It's a long way from Jizhou to Lezhou, but I still have a few confidants around me, otherwise how could I get here? It's just that they have some items that are inconvenient to carry outside the city.
