The news that Jia Renlu had developed something new spread like wildfire. In less than three days, the news had spread like wildfire in Xudu City, with all kinds of versions. Rumors and gossip were great and invincible no matter where they were. As the saying goes,"All the mouths of the people are like gold, and the accumulated destruction is like bones."”Jia Renlu couldn't help but admire the greatness of this power. In this era where there were no phones, newspapers, television, and the Internet, rumors could still spread so quickly. It was really unbelievable to him.
The next afternoon, his small chess room welcomed the first batch of players. It was Cao Ren, Xu Huang, Xu Chu, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and the other civil and military officials. Some of them wanted to catch a glimpse of Diao Chan's beauty, while others wanted to enjoy the game. In short, all kinds of people with various purposes flocked to this small Jia residence.
Of course, most of them did not come empty-handed. Some had three to five thousand copper coins, while others had one to two hundred silk. How could these big shots make a fool of themselves in front of Diao Chan? Even if they didn't give money, they gave some jewelry and jade, which were all treasures. Jia Renlu felt that this didn't conform to the rules of charging by the hour in the internet cafe and game hall, so he repeatedly told these people not to give such a generous gift, but only the money for tea. If they really wanted to give it to them, they could also pay by the hour. However, how could he push it away after pushing it for half a day? Just as he was about to push it again, he saw Diao Chan moving things in the room. He was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot and spat out white foam at the mouth.
They were all important figures, and they were all lords. They had to serve them well. Jia Renlu and Diao Chan were so busy serving tea and water that they were unhappy. Only now did Jia Renlu realize how difficult it was to open a chess room in this era. He saw those big men bowing and bowing non-stop, and even had to run a nice train. After a busy afternoon, he finally sent all these men away. He was so tired that he could not straighten his back. He and Diao Chan couldn't care less about their manners and sat on the ground. They looked at each other and were speechless for a long time. Suddenly, they shouted at the same time,"No! We have to hire people!" The two of them found it funny and could not help but laugh at each other.
In the next few days, the Jia family's front gate was like a stream of cars and horses. The long line stretched all the way to the street, gradually becoming a scene on the street. One day, in a small teahouse opposite the Jia family's house, a tea guest from another city saw this scene and asked in surprise,""This family doesn't look very rich or powerful. Why are there so many carriages in front of the door?”
"You're from somewhere else, right?"”
"That's right," said Tea Guest A."I wonder who lives opposite?" It's so lively in front of the door."
"You don't know this," said the second guest."The one living opposite is Lord Jia Fu, the bodyguard of Cao Gong."”
Tea Guest A turned his head and spat out all the tea in his mouth. He said,"What?! There was only one guard living opposite them, yet there was such a huge formation. Tomorrow, I'll be waiting for Wei."
Guest B sized up Guest A and thought,""Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? A person like you wants to be a guard?”"You?" He snorted and said disdainfully. This Lord Jia has a great background. How can you compare with him?”
"What's his background?" Tea Guest A asked with a blank expression.”
" He's the nephew of Cao Gong's cousin's brother-in-law's third uncle's brother-in-law," Tea Guest B said with a serious expression." His father once saved Cao Gong's life and forcefully carried Cao Gong back from an army of millions. He was injured by 108 arrows and shot like a hedgehog. He died not long after he returned. In order to repay his kindness, Cao Gong betrothed the most beautiful woman in the world, Diao Chan, to him. Now that he had developed some new gadgets, his reputation was even greater. All the high officials and nobles in Xudu came here. How could it not be lively?”This was the 108th version of Jia Fu marrying Diao Chan. When the second tea guest described it, it was so vivid and vivid that it was as if he had come in person.
"So that's what happened." Tea Guest A suddenly realized. Sigh, it was really different to have relatives in the imperial court these days. Even a distant relative like Cao Gong was so awe-inspiring. Wouldn't Cao Gong's son be as mighty as the heavens?”
"That's right…" As soon as he said this, he heard the shopkeeper cough. He turned around and saw him pointing up. There was a sign hanging above with four big words written on it: " Don't talk about state affairs." Upon seeing the sign, Guest B quickly shut up and lowered his head to drink tea.
In the Jia residence, Jia Renlu saw that he had achieved the desired effect. He was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He taught the masters how to play these games while learning from Miracle Doctor Xue in Demigods and Semi-Devils. He kept asking the masters for advice on martial arts and knowledge. He had learned a lot of martial arts such as the " Silk Twining Hand " and the " Five Tigers Gate Breaking Saber Technique ". He did not know if they would be useful, but he would not reject anyone. The more, the better.
On the other side, Xu Chu, Guo Jia, and the other three were playing mahjong. Xu Chu had taken off his upper body until he was only left with a single layer of clothing. His bell-like eyes were about to pop out as he kept muttering," White board, white board." His big black hand kept rubbing a card, as if he wouldn't stop until it became a white board. Suddenly, he shouted,""Thirty thousand!" He threw the card in his hand angrily. That thunderous voice had the same effect as Zhang Fei's shout at the Changban Bridge, and both had a stunning effect. Guo Jia was shocked and was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses. He picked up the card and smiled."Hehe, I was waiting for this one. Sorry, I won again.”
Xu Chu was so angry that his face turned red. He said angrily,"Why do I have to fight and you have to play? You must be cheating!”He grabbed Guo Jia's collar with his left hand and lifted him up like a chick. He lifted his bowl-like iron fist and was about to hit him.
Zhang Liao, who was behind Guo Jia, shouted,"Stop!" I kept watching from the side. Fengxiao didn't play any tricks. It's you who's not good enough. Everyone in Xudu knows what card you want. Who dares to play it for you? You've caused me, your master, to lose face with you. You still want to hit someone after losing, what a disgrace!”
When Xu Chu heard his mahjong mentor speak, he could only let go of Guo Jia and said angrily,"Humph! Why is it like this today? I didn't win a single game. How strange!”He took off his undergarments, revealing a large patch of black chest hair. He posed as if he was fighting Ma Chao naked and shouted,"Again!" Everyone felt dizzy again.
Cao Ren, who was sitting opposite him, said," Zhongkang, if you're unlucky today, let's call it a day. A few of the older brothers beside you are waiting eagerly. I think you should abdicate and give way to the wise."”
Guo Jia said," That's right, that's right. You'll hit this and that again later. Who can stand it?" Playing cards was not a competition. There was no need to be naked. One had to use their brains.”
Xu Chu said," No, we have to come again. I waited for four hours before I finally got in line. I haven't had my fill yet. How can I leave so easily?"”
"I think you should just watch and learn from the side."”
Xu Chu was unwilling to leave just like that. He sat there coldly and did not move. Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Xiahou Dun, and Yu Jin flashed out from the side. Without a word, they went up to him and threw this black sheep out. Xu Chu got up. He did not even bother to brush the dust off and hurriedly ran behind Guo Dada, afraid that he would miss the opportunity to learn.
Xun Yu, who was playing Chinese chess at the side, smiled and said,"Hehe, Gongda, it's a good thing you forced Feng Xiao out just now. Otherwise, you would probably be the one getting punched now.”
Xun You smiled." That's true. Tiger Addict is really violent." It seemed that he couldn't play mahjong. If he didn't play well, his life might be in danger. How could it be as refreshing as playing chess? It could also cultivate one's temperament.”
Guo Jia pretended to be angry when he heard that." Gongda, you still dare to say that? Just now, when I was playing vigorously, you were randomly pointing at the side, making me feel uneasy and repeatedly fail." There was a saying: 'A true gentleman does not speak when watching chess, but a real man does not regret his chess pieces.'You're a sinister villain."
"Hehe, I was itching for a fight and have offended you. I'll definitely come to apologize some other day," said Xun You.”
Guo Jiadai was about to speak again when Xu Chu, who was behind him, shouted anxiously,"Fengxiao, it's your turn. Ignore that pale-faced scholar.”
That night, in the room, there was a mountain of copper coins, silk, gold, and jade utensils on the table. Diao Chan smiled like a flower as she lowered her head to choose her equipment. After a long while, she finally picked out a necklace made of dozens of pearls of average size and placed it beside her neck."Renlu, do you think I look good in this necklace?”
Jia Renlu lost his soul and subconsciously nodded.""It looks good! It looks good!"
Diao Chan put down the bead chain and picked up another one.""What about this one?"
Jia Renlu nodded his head wildly." It looks good. You'll look good wearing anything!"”
Diao Chan laughed." Haha, no way. If this continues, they'll all learn how to play in a few days." Those big shots are all rich. It's not easy to make these small chess cards. When they know how to play, they won't come to us. We won't have any money to earn. Why don't we use this money to open a shop for those who don't have much money but want to play? This way, we can earn a lot over time. What do you think?”
When Jia Renlu heard this, he was filled with admiration. He felt that she had the potential to be a CEO and said,"Hehe, so much money, you still think it's not enough? It's chaotic now. If something happens, how can you move it?”He thought to himself, I have to press this idea. When I want to run away, I can't take the shop with me. I don't want to be used by others.”
Diao Chan lowered her head to pick again and said,"It's okay. I have you. You can help me move it when the time comes.”
He didn't hear any response from Jia Renlu for a long time. He felt a little strange and raised his head. He saw Jia Renlu lying on the ground. His eyes were white, his face was pale, and his whole body was trembling. A white liquid kept flowing out of his mouth.
