Chapter 184

Prince Joe was so impatient that he wanted to find trouble for Li forgetful.

"Why should I gamble with you?" Li forgot to worry asked.

He can't see any advantage in gambling with Wang ziqiao. Whether he wins or loses, it seems to be bad for him.

If you win Prince Joe, I'm afraid there will be a deeper entanglement with the Wang family in Taiyuan; If you lose, you'll know with your knees that you must be unlucky.

Wang ziqiao snorted coldly, "hum, it's really a green mouth child. You don't even dare to gamble. If you want to be a shrinking turtle, you naturally have nothing to say."

Before Li forgets you, Chumo waves a big hand: "Ziyou, you bet with him, whether it's hitting the ball, fighting chickens and running dogs, fighting quails, leaf cards, throwing pots and Hulu, our brother took it for you. If you bet, can you still lose to him?"

"Yes, Xiao Lang, bet with him!"

"Wang, you won't lose and don't admit it?"

"He dares! If he loses the gambling fight and doesn't admit it, don't you want the face of the Taiyuan Wang family? Ziyou, just gamble with him!"

"That's it. Wang, what do you want to bet? No matter how you want to bet, our brothers picked it up for Xiao Lang of the Li family!"

Fang Yiai and others are not too big to watch the excitement. They all began to encourage Li to forget his worries and gamble with Prince Qiao.

Seeing that the dandies let themselves take over Prince Joe's gambling fight, Li forgets to worry is also a little silly. As expected, the great Tang people are gambling.

Many emperors in the Tang Dynasty liked gambling. Emperor Xuanzong and imperial concubine Yang often had fun with gambling; Wu Zetian once hosted a gambling game and made all civil and military officials join in.

Under the influence of the imperial court, officials and people in the Tang Dynasty were also very gambling, which almost became a fashion for a time.

As Cheng Chumo said just now, hitting balls, fighting chickens, fighting quails, leaf cards, throwing pots and Hulu are all the ways that the Tang people are used to gambling.

Hitting the ball, similar to polo, is also called bowing; Running dogs are racing dogs. They run faster than their dogs.

In the Tang Dynasty, not only cockfighting, but also quail fighting; The leaf card can be regarded as the ancestor of mahjong.

As for throwing the pot, it is to throw an arrow into the pot. If you hit more, you will win.

Hulu is a unique gambling method in the Tang Dynasty. Small squares made of wood are similar to dice and painted in black and white. When gambling, grab five black-and-white dice and throw them into the bowl. If the black side is up, you will win more.

When you throw it out, you have to shout, "Lu!". Lu means five black faces up.

One of the weather of the prosperous Tang Dynasty is that in Chang'an City, the cries of "Lu" and "Lu" can be heard at any time in all workshops. Therefore, this way of gambling is also called Hulu.

In addition, there are literary gambling. The way of gambling with poetry and articles is not uncommon among scholars.

Chumo, a group of dandies, are skilled in various gambling and fighting methods, so they confidently encourage Li forgetful to fight with the prince.

Li forgot his worries and was speechless. It was not easy for him to resist the impulse to roll his eyes.

Why are these dandies so excited to hear about gambling? These hopeless gamblers!

The gambling fight put forward by Wang ziqiao is different from the previous gambling between them and the dandies in the ancestral hall.

The bet in the Yi temple is more a fight between the dandies.

So even if Wang ziqiao and others reneged on the bet, Chumo and them just laughed, because if they lost, it would be the same.

If you can sweep each other's face, you have achieved your goal.

Gambling is more similar to the duel between Western nobles. As a result of gambling, it is easy not to repent, otherwise it will be despised.

He Zong of the Tang Dynasty once wagered with his ministers and bet on his official position. Chen Jingguan, his subordinate, won the bet. That is, he was granted the title of Xichuan Festival envoy. After gambling, he became a senior official of the frontier, ruling 26 prefectures such as Zhang, Yi and Han.

Li forgot to worry, but he knew this, so he didn't want to respond to Prince Joe's gambling fight.

But now it's too late for him to say no. the dandies took over the gambling fight for him. They didn't take the fight. What they did was to sweep away the face of Chumo, which was more than worth the loss.

"Well, bet on the fight. How do you want to bet on the fight?" Li forgot to worry and looked at Prince Joe.

Wang ziqiao woke up a little bit, but he also had a little regret when he was so disturbed by the dandies.

Just now he blurted out that he wanted to gamble with Li forgetful, but he forgot the dandies behind Li forgetful.

As Chumo said, he may not be sure of winning these dandies by gambling.

If he loses again, he will lose all his face today.

Wang ziqiao's triangular eyes couldn't help walking behind him to see what good ideas Lu Siyang had. However, he accidentally saw a Wang family trilogy standing behind the people, and suddenly had a dispute in his heart.

"Since you're willing to gamble, you'd better play something new." Prince Joe shook his head: "just bet on the oral skill of the bucket!"

What? Gambling?

Wang ziqiao's words made Li forget his worries and the dandies stunned. They didn't understand how to gamble.

Oral skills have existed in China since ancient times.

It is recorded in the biographies of Lord mengchang in the historical records that during the Warring States period, Lord mengchang fled from the state of Qin to the state of Qi by using the oral skills of his disciples, which is also the source of the idiom Jiming and dog stealing.

Li forgets to worry more about the oral skills in the Chinese class in middle school: there are people who are good at oral skills in Beijing... All the guests stretch their necks, look sideways, smile and sigh silently, thinking that they are wonderful... Take off the screen and look at it, one person, one table, one chair, one fan and one ruler.

But how do you bet on this?

What's more, Li Qieyou doesn't know any oral skills. Is bbox OK? He knows a little about it.

He looked at all the dandies and seemed to have some silly eyes. He didn't seem to know any oral skills.

Wang ziqiao looked at the crowd with drunken eyes and pointed to the famous trilogy behind him and said, "I know a little about oral skills. I won't bully you. I'll give you two chances. No matter what sound you can make from your mouth, if my trilogy can be imitated, I will win the gambling fight; otherwise, you will win."

He paused, stared at Li forgetful and said, "if you lose today's gambling fight, let this boy get out of Chang'an city. From now on, you are not allowed to step into Chang'an city!"

Chumo and others look at each other and don't know how to answer.

They have never heard of the gambling method put forward by Wang ziqiao. Moreover, if they lose, they want Li to forget his worries and never enter Chang'an city. The consequences are somewhat serious.

It's embarrassing for a group of dandies to be turned against the army by Wang ziqiao. A few people talked too much just now, but now it's hard to end.

Seeing that everyone was in trouble, Fang Yiai wanted to cheat and lose some face, which spoiled the gambling fight.

Li forgot to worry but suddenly said, "if you lose, what should you do?"

He now has some anger in his heart. The Taiyuan Wang family is so against himself. Does he really regard him as a clay figurine? Take it as you like?

Li's stubborn donkey temper also came up. What about the Wang family in Taiyuan? We'll have a fight today!

Wang ziqiao smiled and said carelessly, "I'm going to lose. In the future, I'll retreat from you in Chang'an city. As long as I see you, I'll bow to you and avoid you. How about it?"

For the sons of these aristocratic families, if Prince Joe really loses, it will really lose face. The legitimate son of five surnames and seven hopes bows to an intermediary and retreats. Then he has no face.

But Wang ziqiao didn't think he would lose.

I have no other skills in this episode. I have never met an opponent in Chang'an city.

The famous episode of the Wang family is also a strange man. I don't know where I learned this oral skill. It's very good. Learning how to sing can even make birds indistinguishable and fall on his shoulder.

All kinds of people, he heard once, can imitate 7788, even a woman's voice.

Wang ziqiao doesn't believe in the oral skill of his trilogy and can't win the gambling fight.

"OK, since you have to gamble, that's a deal!"

Chumo and others didn't have time to dissuade Li forget worry, so he nodded and agreed.

Li forgot to worry and glanced at the elated Prince Joe. He secretly said in his heart, if you are willing to die, I will be willing to bury you!
