    Chapter 62 Gambling Yu Shu heard that shout, and he must have guessed where it was. He stood on tiptoe and looked inside again. In the spacious and bright hall, there were people standing in piles, and shouts came and went.  The sound of coins clattering was very noisy.  Yu Shu was wondering as she followed the people inside. As far as she knew, gambling had been strictly prohibited since the Song and Yuan Dynasties. Why was this gambling shop open and open on the street? Could it be that gambling was not allowed in the Da'an Dynasty?  Walking back and forth in the middle of the hall, Yu Shu was sure that this was a big gambling house. There were more than ten tabletops, most of which were betting on dice and Pai Gow. Yu Shu was very interested in things related to numbers. She went to college.  When I was a kid, I had a private discussion with a professor about this industry, so I recognized these ancient gambling tools.  After finishing the middle part, she walked to both sides without any interest. There were more people around the gambling stalls under the walls on both sides. There were more people under the east wall looking up at the wall, and there were many people under the west wall.  Holding a compass inside¡ª¡ª Huh?  compass?  Yu Shuduo looked to the west twice more, and when he was about to go over, he was squeezed and pushed to the east by a group of people.  There are no dice or dominoes in the row under the east wall. The wall is divided into several areas vertically and horizontally. In some places, there are many long yellow small signs hanging, and in other places, there is a large white paper posted on it.  As he was writing, there was a row of tables placed against the wall. There were a few clerks standing on the high cabinets in the back, and the sound of abacus was clattering in the crowd.  What are you doing?  Yu Shu took a few steps faster and approached the tables with white paper on the wall. He was blocked from the crowd. He stood on tiptoe for a while and couldn't see any way. When he was about to squeeze in, he saw a waiter standing there.  He rang the bell on the high cabinet and shouted: "Buy the deal and leave it, metal, wood, water, fire and earth, come and go -" Everyone around the table took a step back. Yu Shu raised his head and saw the guy ringing the bell.  After waving to the back, another clerk immediately stepped onto the high cabinet and posted another piece of paper next to the large white paper on the wall, with a series of numbers written in traditional Chinese on it.  There was a buzz on both sides, and the onlookers discussed: "Have you won? Has anyone won?" "Who has won? Let me know first." "Did Mr. Pei win again? Or is it Mr. Song?" Yu Shu stood behind the crowd.  I couldn't see the movement in front of me, so I heard the bell ringing again after a while, and the waiter who rang the bell shouted again: "No one is in - buying the brand has reopened." With a "wow", the crowd dispersed to both sides.  After leaving, Yu Shu spotted a person squeezing out, grabbed him, and asked politely: "Brother, what are you betting on here?" This man was a spectator and didn't lose any money, so he looked good.  He smiled at Yu Shu, pointed to the gambling table in the middle and said: "This is your first time back, little brother. If you want to play, you should go over there. This Yi District is not a place for you to play." Yi District?  Yu Shu was suspicious and said in a good voice, "I'm not here to play, just to watch the excitement. Brother, please tell me." Seeing Yu Shu's well-behaved face, this man became a little more patient, turned around and pointed at the back of the high cabinet.  He looked at the white paper on the wall and said: "Did you see it? This piece is for gambling. A cup of tea will start a game. If you can solve the problem above, if you solve it correctly, you will win." Yu Shu squinted.  I glanced at the nearest piece of white paper, and saw the bold black characters clearly written on it: "I only heard that the people next door were dividing the silver. I don't know how much silver and people, each person was seven taels and less than seven taels, and each person was half a catty more than half a catty.  I would like to ask you who are good at calculating, how many people will get how much silver?¡± Yu Shu was stunned, isn¡¯t this a math problem?  Can this also be used for gambling?  Yu Shu was puzzled and continued to ask: "Then how do you calculate the money if you win?" The man pointed to the other end: "Did you see that there is a brand changer there, a pair of brands for one dime, and the brand number is engraved on the back.  I took the red-headed card and went up to calculate. There was paper and pen on the table. After calculating, I bet on the red-headed card and left the black-headed card at the bottom. If I won, I went forward to get it. Someone called me. Alas, the game just now was lost.  There are more than fifty brands. If someone wins, it is a pity to say that they can earn at least five taels of silver." "Fifty taels" Yu Shu's throat felt dry and he swallowed. Looking at the title on the wall, it was like seeing a pile of white.  The colorful money was waving to her.  This problem is not easy to solve. Just set two unknowns.  Seeing Yu Shu's eyes shining, the man smiled and said, "Why, little brother, are you interested in taking a gamble?" Yu Shu pressed down his surprise, shook his head, and said with a naive smile, "I just wanted to take a look." The man nodded in understanding.  Said: "This is where the Yixue gentlemen in the city come to try their hand. It doesn't depend on luck, nor can you follow the trend. You can do it yourself, I will"?.  " Yu Shu said goodbye to him and saw people walking away. He did not rush to buy a brand. Instead, he squeezed to the front of the crowd and carefully observed the numbers of several rounds of gambling. She only had one chance for a dime of silver. She must not be hasty. First  Let¡¯s take a look at the situation. According to one cup of tea, there are five rounds. Three of them won and two of them missed. The winner has more, if the loser has more, it will be exclusive. If more, the dealer will take it all. For every one bet, the dealer will take it all.  For red-headed cards, a yellow wooden sign will be hung next to the white paper with the calculation questions written on it, which is a fair disclosure of the number of bets. Yu Shu understood the process and followed a few more questions, secretly glad that he did not blindly buy the brand just now.  To place a bet, not all of the questions posted by the dealer can be calculated by verbal arithmetic and counting. There are two of them, which are the products and divisions of several multi-digit numbers. Without an abacus, Yu Shu  But he was not sure that he would be able to make a good one. If he had known better, he would have brought an abacus. Yu Shu regretfully watched another round fail. The clerk on the high cabinet cleared more than thirty yellow-headed signs on the wall, licked his lips, and turned to sell the signs.  He walked to the counter, took out a small piece of silver from his waist, bought a pair of cards, and came back and squeezed to the front. When he got to the front, it was much looser than the back. The gamblers were more disciplined than ordinary gamblers and stood at the table.  There was no more pushing and jostling on the side, and one person stood guard, looking up calmly and waiting for the question to come out, without disturbing each other. There were more people watching the excitement than actually betting. The number of bets was different from others, and the bets were placed.  The orders are all on the buckle table. I wrote them personally. There is no phenomenon of following the trend of betting. "In the 18th round, I changed the brand and bought it. Gentlemen, please come forward. Those who bought it and those who did not buy it retreated.  Ah!" Yu Shu looked up at the question that was reposted on the wall and thought to herself good luck. It was to answer the question without an abacus. She took out a piece of paper on the long table and did not use the brush on the table.  The charcoal pen in her arms was lying on the table with one hand covering the writing formula, which would arouse suspicion. After finishing the calculation, she balled up the paper and stuffed it into her cuffs, then dipped some ink with the brush and drew a stroke.  After writing down the answer on a piece of paper, I pressed it with a red card and handed it over in no hurry. After watching someone on both sides figure it out, I called out "Man" after a while.  Bell, the purchase is gone. Yu Shu followed the crowd and took two steps back, looking at the yellow-headed signs hung one by one on the wall, thinking silently: One more piece, one more piece. The sign did not stop until it was thirty-two, Yu Shu  She was excited, you know, this is only thirty-two cents, which is comparable to the profit of Cao Zixin's shop in one day. If she wins, it will be thirty-two times. "In the 18th round - two people win - twenty cents  No. 6, No. 317." Yu Shu lowered his head and looked at the black-headed card in his hand, but it was "No. 317." Hearing that he had won two people, he felt depressed for a moment, and thought that this might as well be the case. The winner would be big.  , it will inevitably attract people¡¯s jealousy. Even so, when Yu Shu, a ¡°young man¡±, followed a middle-aged man to get the lottery, there was still a lot of noisy discussion behind him, ¡°Who won?  " "Mr. Pei got hit - ah, here's a yellow-haired kid also got hit" "Tsk, tsk, at this age, I'm afraid he's not a child of the Yi family, right?  " "Maybe it's just good luck.  " "Hey, do you have the ability to go up and try to fool me?  " "Hey, I don't have that ability.  ¡± Yu Shu¡¯s ears were very good. When he heard the comments behind him, he knew that he was attracting attention. He took the one or two six cents of silver that he had received and returned to the crowd. He accepted the gazes from all around and hesitated, but he won.  People were watching her once. If she won a few more times, wouldn¡¯t she be too popular? But if she didn¡¯t gamble, where would she find ten taels of silver to enter the bookstore of Dayi Hall? Thinking about this, Yu  Shu calmed down again and squeezed into the place where the signs were sold. He made an estimate in his mind and painfully took the one tael of silver he just got. He bought ten pairs of signs in one go and returned to stand in front of the long table.  Shu was more cautious, so she bet on every game in the next game. When she met someone who wanted to use an abacus, she would just write down the numbers roughly, without calculating in detail. When someone had a good bet, she would only follow after seeing how many people were betting around.  I bet on a sign, and after ten rounds, I got five hits, five misses, two hits, and three hits evenly. "Look, that little boy hit again. He hit four or five times, right?"  " "What's the matter? Mr. Pei was hit seven times in the morning.  " "How is that the same? How old is this young master? Can he compare with Mr. Pei?  " Yu Shu stuffed the last one or two cents she won into her arms. She was sweating hotly and her face was a little red with excitement. These questions were not difficult at all. She was excited about what she had in her arms.  It¡¯s almost two months since she came to Da¡¯an Dynasty. It¡¯s the first time she has such a lot of money.Not counting the time she helped Jing Chen sell beads last time, they belonged to others, but they were her own. Listening to the comments around her, Yu Shu turned her head and glanced at Mr. Pei, who had won the same round with her at the beginning, and secretly rejoiced.  Fortunately, there is such a veteran here, suppressing her limelight.  Pei Jing was also sizing up Yu Shu. He just came here to play in the mood this morning. He didn't expect to meet such an opponent. Although he had two more hits, his age was the same. He was more than ten years old.  A 6-year-old kid wouldn't feel proud of himself if he won two more games.  He heard others talking about which young man Xu was the son of some Yi family, but he didn't think so. He was really a child of the Yi Xue family. How could he come to such a place to play?  An acquaintance saw him and informed his family that he would be beaten if he returned.  Since he is not from the Yi Xue family, it is worth his attention.  Pei Jing saw Yu Shu squeeze out of the crowd, hesitated for a moment, and followed him calmly.  There were two people in the crowd who saw Yu Shu leaving. They winked at each other and followed him out.
