Juxinfang Central

A child who looked no more than five or six years old was lying paralyzed on the ground. Her eyes were tightly shut and her body was still twitching non-stop …

"Money losing thing, it's all because of you!"

A coarse middle-aged man was cursing non-stop as he prepared to ruthlessly kick the child on the ground.

"Aiyo, The Third Brother Liu, why are you venting your anger on the child when you're so unlucky?"

Hu Si, who was standing to the side counting money, turned his head when he heard the commotion. He looked at The Third Brother Liu with disdain and said this.

Who would have thought that The Third Brother Liu would actually spit at Hu Si, "What does this have to do with you? Hu Si, if you want this money losing thing, give me one tael of silver and I'll send it to your door!"

Hu Si looked at The Third Brother Liu's daughter. Because of her family's poverty, she didn't have enough food to eat in a year. Her small body was much thinner and weaker than her peers. Now that The Third Brother Liu had kicked her, she had directly fainted. She looked very pitiful.

Hu Si couldn't stand watching this and cursed The Third Brother Liu, "You damned gambler, you even sold your daughter. Be careful of retribution."

The Third Brother Liu shamelessly said with some pride, "The Third Brother Liu can at least give birth to a child. What about you?

You married a woman who can't give birth. Serves you right that you won't have a son to send you off in this lifetime! "

"Go to hell with your uncle!"

Having his sore spot poked, Hu Si was so angry that he raised his fist and swung it at The Third Brother Liu. However, he suddenly remembered that it was Juxinfang Central's rules to not cause trouble and fight. He put down his fist and pointed at The Third Brother Liu and cursed, "People like you can just wait for the heavens to punish you!" He then stopped arguing with The Third Brother Liu and turned to walk out of Juxin Square's door.

Hu Si lowered his head and curled his lips as he walked out of the door. Who would have thought that someone would accidentally bump into his shoulder just as he was about to walk in. Hu Si was originally still angry at The Third Brother Liu, but now that he was bumped into, he wanted to vent his anger on this person. Who would have thought that when he looked up, he would hastily say, "Miss A Cui."

The person who came in was the daughter of Juxin Square's owner, Hua Cuicui.

Hua Cuicui only made a sound of acknowledgment and didn't say anything as she walked straight in.

Hu Si looked at Hua Cuicui's back and muttered in his heart, "Ai, this face is really a waste of such a good figure."

As soon as Hua Cuicui walked into the hall, she saw The Third Brother Liu kick his daughter again. She silently sighed. Juxin Square had been open for more than a year and she had seen many cases of children being sold. However, when she saw the child lying on the ground with blood slowly flowing out of the corner of her mouth, she knew that this wasn't good. It looked like her internal organs had been injured. If she wasn't treated in time, she would lose her life.

She thought about it and walked forward. Just as she was about to bend down to check on the child's injuries, The Third Brother Liu was about to pull his daughter up from the ground and hit her again. Unexpectedly, with this pull, the veil on Hua Cuicui's face was pulled off.

The Third Brother Liu, who was holding the veil, was stunned. Hua Cuicui was also stunned and couldn't react for a moment. The people around the gambling stall who were in full swing stopped what they were doing and stared unblinkingly at Hua Cuicui. They didn't even care if the dice in the dice cup were a single or a pair, or if the Pai Jiu was a land tile or a tiger's head tile …

Hua Cuicui came back to her senses and didn't care about the child on the ground. She immediately turned around and quickly walked upstairs. The Third Brother Liu woke up at this time. He held the fragrant veil to his nose and took a deep sniff. In a low voice, he muttered, "Goddess …"

Everyone started to talk about it …

Someone said, "Didn't Hua Zhiyi, the owner of the stall, say that Hua Cuicui's left face was burned by hot oil when she was young and her face was disfigured? That's why she always wears a veil, right?"

Another person added, "Yes, it has always been like this since she was at Yunlai Inn. I didn't expect it …"

In less than a day, the news spread throughout Chang 'an City.

…

In the Lingering Fragrance Brothel, three to five foreign guests had just put down their luggage and sat down when they saw the people inside and outside gathered together to talk about something. They were nosy and asked the Waiter. The Waiter bent down and smiled as he filled their cups with tea. With a mysterious expression, he said, "Guests, you don't know. They are talking about Hua Cuicui of Juxin Square."

"Juxin Square?" One of them asked in confusion.

"Guests, this must be your first time in Chang 'an City. That's why you don't know where Juxin Square is."

"Then tell us and let us understand."

The Waiter turned his head to look at the shopkeeper who was calculating on an abacus in front of the counter. When he found that the shopkeeper wasn't looking at him, he felt relieved and began to talk.

Chang 'an City had been known for its prosperity since ancient times.

Just by looking at the streets in the city, one could feel how prosperous and prosperous the place under the emperor's feet was.

There were two broad and straight streets on the east and west, with all kinds of shops on both sides.

On the east street, there was the teahouse where the Waiter shouted at the door, the cloth shop where all kinds of silk and satin were bought and sold, the bookstore where the faint smell of paper and ink wafted through the air, and the jewelry and rouge pavilion where women and young ladies loved to go …

On the west street, there was the unique wine shop where waves of decadent music could be heard, the brothel where enchanting women stood at the door to greet the guests, the big and small smokehouses where smoke rose in spirals, and the noisy gambling house where crying and laughter could be heard …

If one were to talk about the gambling houses on the west street of Chang 'an City, there were many of them.

But the most famous of them all was Juxin Square, which was located at the end of the street.

As the biggest gambling house in Chang 'an City, it was indeed different.

As far as the eye could see, the five-storey building was very majestic and spectacular, comparable to the imperial city.

Juxin Square's five-storey building was only open to the public on the lower three floors.

And the guests on the lower three floors were also very particular.

The first floor was the most ordinary large hall for the common people to play.

Merchants and people of Jianghu could go to the best rooms on the second floor.

The third floor was the number one room specially set up for the relatives of the imperial family.

And in Juxin Square, anything could be gambled.

When ordinary people went to the gambling house to play, the most common games were single and double, dice, Ma Diao, and Pai Gow.

Bigger gambling houses might have four gates of treasure, Fan Dan, Liu Bo, and Qi.

Juxin Square not only had the games mentioned above, but there were also ghost games, Hu Hua, Shu Bin, Kuai Kuai, Zang Xian … as long as it was a game you could name, there would be people willing to gamble with you.

And the gambling stakes were also different from those of ordinary gambling houses.

Needless to say, ordinary gold, silver, and treasures were also accepted.

The rules of the gambling house clearly stated that as long as it was something you could take out, you could use it as a bet.

It was said that there was once a person who came here with a coffin on his back, and the staff of Juxin Square accepted it without batting an eyelid …

At this point, the Waiter was like a storyteller, keeping people in suspense. He said, "But this is not the most amazing thing about Juxin Square …" and then stopped.

Someone who was listening intently was suddenly interrupted, and hurriedly asked, "Is there anything more amazing?"

The Waiter smiled slightly and said in a low voice, "This Juxin Square is under the protection of Prince Heng. Ordinary gambling houses can't compare!"

Someone exclaimed, "Prince Heng?

Are you talking about the Iron Hat King personally conferred by the Emperor, Yan Heng? "

"Of course it's him …" The Waiter coughed lightly and continued, "It's said that when he was young, he was kidnapped by spies from a neighboring country and injured his left leg. So even though this Prince Heng is always eating, drinking, and fooling around, and doesn't do proper business, the current emperor still takes pity on him, his only biological brother."

"This kind of splendor and riches can be said to be endless for a lifetime." Someone sighed.

"So, with such a person watching over Juxin Square, there's no need to worry about riches.

On the opening day, Prince Heng ordered people to send a plaque made of gold-threaded phoebe zhennan wood, with the words' Gambling Is Not Losing 'written on it. To this day, it's still hanging in Juxin Square. "

As soon as the Waiter finished speaking, someone asked, "Then who is this Hua Cuicui you were talking about?"

The Waiter was just about to speak again when the shopkeeper called out. The Waiter quickly lowered his head and smiled apologetically, "Dear guests, I'm sorry, but my shopkeeper is calling for me. If there's a chance, I'll tell you in detail."

… …

Speaking of which, in less than half a month, news of this matter spread like wildfire. In the end, there was even a sentence: the number one beauty in the world — — Hua Cuicui.

This sentence caused Hua Cuicui's father, Hua Zhiyi, to frown for several days.

This unmarried daughter of his was like a fairy, and the threshold of his home had been trampled to pieces.

Every day in Juxin Square, there were many matchmakers bringing betrothal gifts to propose marriage.

"Master Hua, Old Master Wang said that as long as Miss A Cui is willing to marry into his family, he will divorce all six of his concubines … He'll add five mu of farmland and a courtyard in the suburbs as betrothal gifts …"

The matchmaker, Madam Shen, waved the silk fan in her hand as she spoke enthusiastically to Hua Zhiyi, who was sitting in the taishi chair.

As Hua Zhiyi listened, his eyebrows furrowed even more, "Six concubines?

Go back and tell Old Master Wang not to bother with divorcing the concubines. Our A Cui is not worthy of his status! "

Madam Shen saw that Hua Zhiyi didn't like Old Master Wang, so she quickly added, "Councilor Chen from the west of the city also wants to marry Miss A Cui. Why don't you consider this, Master Hua?"

Hua Zhiyi felt a surge of anger in his heart, "That Councilor Chen died at the beginning of the month …" After he finished speaking, he stood up and invited Madam Shen out of the door …

Hua Zhiyi returned to the main hall and sat down in the taishi chair. He picked up his teacup and sipped his tea, sighing …

…

A month later, news came out of Juxin Square. If one wanted to marry the daughter of the owner, Hua Cuicui, they had to win her in gambling. They could choose the gambling method. If they won, they would compete in martial arts. If they won again, they could marry Hua Cuicui.

When everyone heard this, they were very confused.

In the past, there had been martial arts competitions to find a spouse, but to compete in both martial arts and gambling skills was unheard of and unheard of.

However, some people said that a sixteen year old girl in the prime of her life could compete in martial arts?

Could she even carry a basin of water at home?

Not to mention gambling. Although her family had opened Juxin Square, she didn't even know what Pai Gow, Dice, or Ma Diao were …

However, in a short period of time, countless young masters and people of the Jianghu came to admire her.

Just as everyone was excitedly discussing who this beautiful girl would end up in, what was unexpected was that no one could beat Hua Cuicui.

They didn't know where Hua Cuicui got her strong inner strength, and her swordsmanship was strange and difficult to distinguish.

There were only a few people who could beat her in martial arts. Who knew that she was also proficient in all kinds of gambling methods? Her gambling skills were superb, and one of the best was her hand at rolling the dice …

Everyone was in an uproar. They didn't expect that the girl in Juxin Square who always wore a veil was so unfathomable …
