Taoist Quick Wear

“Not really.” Si Qingyan occasionally played poker, but his card skills were very poor, and he had never played mahjong before. He was exhausted by various complex formulas, so he didn’t like to spend time on this kind of game. If he really wanted to win, he could win.

“Come on, try two rounds.”

A beautiful young lady stood up and made room for Si Qingyan, half leaning on the chair, with a sweet and pleasant fragrance looming, tempting people to explore.

“Let’s play a round. We haven’t seen such a handsome young man for a long time.”

“Don’t be afraid, play a round, Lao Su has change.”

Unable to refuse the kindness, Si Qingyan had to try to play two rounds.

Everyone thought that since he was a novice, they would let him win two rounds, but…

Everyone had a strange expression.

Why did this handsome young man play so messed up and had no chance of winning?

Could it be that because he was good-looking, he was not good at playing cards?

In the first round, he lost everything.

"It's okay, it's okay. Young Master, this is your first time here. You haven't played before, right..."

"Let's play again."

Si Qingyan sat very straight. Although he roughly understood how to play, he let others win without realizing it.

"..."

"Maybe we can win after two more rounds."

The bosses didn't mean to cheat Si Qingyan. They wanted to cheat Boss Su.

It would be a big deal if they won all Si Qingyan's money. It would be too ugly to say that the old bullied the young.

It's the first time we met. It's a big deal to let the young lose all the time.

Si Qingyan played two more rounds. The other three card players racked their brains and finally let him win one round.

If he won, it would be Si Qingyan's. If he lost, it would be Boss Su's.

This round probably won dozens of silver dollars. This amount was nothing to them. It was probably equivalent to a boat ticket to Hong Kong, but it was enough for a family of four to eat for half a year.

"I don't know how to do this. I'll just watch you play."

Si Qingyan got familiar with it briefly and left the card table.

Boss Su has both wins and losses, but generally speaking, he has a better chance of winning.

The amount involved is getting bigger and bigger, and it's getting later and later. An unknown French song is playing on the phonograph, which is very lazy and gentle.

Everyone has a cup of coffee.

Sugar and milk are optional.

Si Qingyan sat on the side and took out a magazine to read.

There were actually several vernacular novels in it, which talked about the love between two young men and women.

The young man who bravely got rid of the family marriage and the young lady who was still not free in marriage after attending the girls' school finally got a happy ending by eloping. Of course, it's not about eloping, but about being independent from the family for love.

"Old Su, you've lost enough today, why don't you stop playing?"

"Yes, it's so late, it's time to disperse..."

"It's time to end, I'm sleepy."

"Let's stop here..."

If several people work together at the card table, it's still easy to trick someone. Boss Su, in particular, had been aroused by their greed...

At this time, Boss Su had already lost about one or two thousand silver dollars. Although he could afford it, it was enough to make him feel painful.

If the card game stopped here, he would not be able to recover his losses.

So Boss Su would not stop.

"No, no... It's rare for everyone to get together, and you are all in good spirits, continue!"

As expected, Boss Su began to persuade them to stay.

The other card players at the same table yawned, rubbed their eyes, and looked sleepy.

"It really can't work. We can't stay up late at night at our age."

"One more round, one more round, just one round."

Boss Su was very reluctant and begged.

"Boss Su, let's get back tomorrow..."

"Next time."

The card players declined a few words, but they still looked determined to leave.

Si Qingyan held a cup of tea and watched them play silently.

Boss Su had a play in his mind, and his face was full of pain and eagerness to get back his money.

The poker friends had already planned to trick Boss Su. Although they said no, their butts were firmly glued to the chair, with no intention of getting up.

"Well, let's stop here today." Boss Su suddenly had a bad taste and wanted to test their reactions.

"..." The poker friends were silent immediately.

Is this wrong, Old Su? This is not your style...

Aren't you a stickler for money?

"Really don't want to play anymore?" The beautiful lady before exhaled like orchids, her voice was low and hoarse, very seductive.

"If I want to... Mrs. Liu, will you play with me?" Boss Su was somewhat tempted.

"Boss Su has spoken, so of course I have to sacrifice my life to accompany a gentleman." Mrs. Liu covered her mouth slightly, her lips slightly raised, and the color of her lipstick was elegant and charming. It was slightly deeper than red, and it must be very beautiful printed on white letter paper.

This Mrs. Liu was the wife of the president of the local bank. Although she was an old man and a young wife, and had no children, she was mixed in various circles, and everyone gave her a little face. She always does things in a thorough and satisfactory manner, and she is also beautiful, like a slowly blooming flower, with her own charm.

"Then let's play another round." Boss Su smiled and indicated to increase the amount.

"Since Boss Su asked, let's play another round."

"Winning or losing is determined by fate."

"Okay."

In the last round, Boss Su is the banker.

If he wins this round, all the previous losses can be recovered.

However, this is a game set up by someone with ulterior motives, so Boss Su will naturally have difficulties step by step and lose repeatedly.

A thin layer of sweat appeared on his fat face.

Si Qingyan also cooperated and showed a nervous look.

Boss Su played a card, and Mrs. Liu showed an elegant smile, pushed the card in front of her, and said softly:

"Win."

Boss Su's face suddenly turned pale, even a little miserable.

Si Qingyan couldn't help but admire Boss Su's acting skills.

"Let's put it this way, we are all acquaintances, and we are embarrassed to ask for such a large amount..." Mrs. Liu was a little embarrassed.

"If we ask for your money, Boss Su, how can we meet in the future?"

"You run a treasure pavilion, just take out something and pay for it."

"There are not many things worth three thousand silver dollars in my treasure pavilion..." Boss Su's face was full of regret, his fingers were mixed together, and because he was too nervous, he took a few sips of the coffee on the table, and his expression was very bitter.

"Boss Su is so rich, how could he not be able to take out even one thing... I heard that Boss Su took down a bronze tripod last time, that's not bad." Another card player added.

"How can that be? That was the price I bought it at last time, and the price I sold it for is more than three thousand silver dollars..." Boss Su was restless, and his back was wet with sweat.

"You have to find a buyer if you leave it there, and you can't sell it for a while. How about this, I'll give you two thousand silver dollars, and you give me this bronze tripod?" Mrs. Liu suggested in a gentle voice.

"Otherwise, does Boss Su have three thousand silver dollars in cash?"

"Big sister, I won't hide it from you, I still... I really don't have it." Of course Boss Su has it, there are silver dollars under his bed, which is definitely more than three thousand silver dollars, but he won't say it.

It's not easy to get the opportunity to sell the bronze tripod, how can I give it up easily!

Thinking of this, Boss Su burst into tears.

"My favorite collection is the bronze tripod... Alas, I can't give it up easily..."

Boss Su wiped his tears and drank coffee to cover up his gaffe.

If it weren't for the cup blocking him, he was afraid that he would laugh out loud.

Ahahaha, that fake thing, I wanted to sell it a long time ago!

Oh my god! I don't know which idiot took the burden!

I can't sleep just thinking about it.

The happier he is, the calmer Boss Su will be. He must not show any flaws! He must not let those people see it!

The fat Boss Su looked very miserable, and tears were falling down.

The water of West Lake, my tears...

"How about this, I will give you another thousand silver dollars, and Boss Su will not suffer any loss. Isn't this good?"

Mrs. Liu said again.

"Old Su, Mrs. Liu has given us face today. It's good to agree. If the things are gone, we can buy them again. I will be the first to notify you when there are good goods next time."

Another poker player is an old friend of Boss Su, and he also spoke for Mrs. Liu this time.

"Woo woo woo..."

Boss Su was speechless and choked, and tears flowed before he spoke.

Others began to persuade him and even began to lobby Si Qingyan.

Because Si Qingyan didn't seem to understand the value of the bronze tripod.

"Look, Old Su spent 3,000 yuan to buy the bronze tripod, and now he has lost more than 3,000 yuan. I will pay 3,000 silver dollars to wipe out this debt. What a good deal..."

"Please persuade your master."

Si Qingyan then cast her eyes on Boss Su. Although she did not say a word, her eyes meant very clearly, just follow them.

Boss Su sighed and wiped away his tears.

"My apprentice has not been brought into the business yet, how can I know these things."

"I, Su Dongzhi, have always kept my word in doing business. I must repay my debts. Since Mrs. Liu is interested in the bronze tripod, let's do as Mrs. Liu said."

After Boss Su finished speaking, he showed a kind of grief that was greater than the grief of a dead heart.

"It's settled." Mrs. Liu's smile became more gentle.

"A gentleman's word is as good as a horse's." Boss Su wiped away his tears and continued.

"Boss Su is really a straightforward person. I will remember what happened today. If there is any benefit next time, Boss Su will definitely be included."

Mrs. Liu's tone was much more sincere.

It was already late, and the car was driving on the street, and occasionally roosters could be heard crowing.

Si Qingyan asked Boss Su in a low voice how much the bronze tripod was worth, and Boss Su said coldly,

"At least ten thousand."

Si Qingyan showed a look of heart as dead as a tree.

The others in the car laughed silently.

It felt so good to cheat people...

Although they couldn't make much money on this bronze tripod, the key was that this thing was done, and it would make a big man remember them, which was the most important thing.

The car drove to the door of the Treasure Pavilion and stopped, and several people went in together. Boss Su held out the small bronze tripod as if it was a treasure. After careful identification, it was finally determined that it was a genuine product. Mrs. Liu packed it up and took it away with satisfaction.

"It's too late today, the silver dollar will be delivered tomorrow, Boss Su, don't sleep too much."

"Okay, okay." Boss Su waved his hand, his figure hunched a lot, and he looked a dozen years older in an instant.

After they all left, Boss Su closed the door, bit his fingers and began to laugh silently.

He fell to the ground with a bang from the chair.

Wonderful!

At least the fake didn't fall on my hand!

"Is Boss Su okay?"

Someone suddenly knocked on the door.

"It's okay, even if I was too excited and fell." Si Qingyan replied.

When the people outside went away, Si Qingyan was also a little happy.

He also participated in the secondary processing of the copper tripod. This time, the copper tripod will not be exposed.

Unless the buyer melted the copper tripod and analyzed its components.

That was decades later.

Whether it is the sound, the appearance, or the rust, there is no flaw.

And anti-rust measures have been taken, it will not easily rust and expose the authenticity.

After Boss Su calmed down after laughing, he unfolded a crumpled piece of paper in his sleeve, took a look, and became angry again,

"Hmph..."

Si Qingyan also took a look at the paper and saw only the two words "Yamada".

"This little Japanese wanted to buy it from me before, but I refused."

"I didn't expect it to fall into his hands."

"To seize the tripod means to compete for the world, bah."

Boss Su spat in disdain, and even the joy of selling fakes dropped.

The next day, when Si Qingyan saw Mrs. Liu who came to deliver the silver dollar again, she suddenly felt that her color was a little thin. She was still so thoughtful and gentle in her words and deeds, but she didn't have the natural and lively brilliance that she had when she first saw her.
