This was actually the place Versace was most looking forward to.
After all, his father wouldn't let him sit at the table at home.
Not to mention the gambling dens outside; children aren't allowed to go there.
Alas, all my talent and learning have nowhere to be used.
It's usually on the husband's birthday or other holidays.
Only by going to the Su residence can I play dominoes with the master and the others for a while.
This is great! The academy has actually opened an examination room for this subject.
My days at the academy are going to be quite interesting from now on.
I can play Pai Gow with a bunch of junior classmates.
I must say once again, you are truly unparalleled in the world!
Even though he knew there was a gambling test room, Versace didn't rush over there right away.
After all, the gentleman said so.
The most capable people are often the ones who appear later in the story.
……
Gambling skills test room.
The candidates inside were mostly older.
And it's easy to tell from their clothes and attire that they are all wealthy young men.
Groups of three or five sat around a table, while many others watched from around the table.
There are promotion charts, card games, leaf cards, mahjong, and dominoes.
A few bewildered young men in plain clothes stood at the entrance.
These were Shi Chanli, Cheng Jialin, Yang Wanli, and Hou Jichang.
Just now, in the music room, when Guo Baokun played the second piece, they immediately fled.
He was just running around aimlessly, not paying attention, and ended up in this examination room.
Shi Chanli let out a soft breath and rested for a while.
Then he glanced into the gambling skills examination room, scratched his head, and asked.
"Should we go take a look?"
To be honest, he was somewhat curious.
In Shi Chanli's own view, this is just a game.
Playing around with it briefly is harmless and can even earn you some money.
However, if you become addicted, that's not good.
So he was also hesitant.
Hou Jichang was the first to speak, his gaze resolute, and he shook his head.
"Don't go."
"We are all scholars."
How can one be tainted by such vulgar habits?
Upon hearing this, Cheng Jialin and Yang Wanli thought about it and agreed.
"Brother Hou is right."
Shi Chanli said "Oh".
"Let's go then, let's look around somewhere else."
The group nodded and then went to the examination room next door.
He then turned around.
Then a child of three or four years old was seen walking briskly towards this place.
Despite his young age, he was quite imposing.
When he walks, he doesn't recognize even his closest relatives. 78
It was as if the God of Gamblers had arrived, and all mortals had to retreat.
The group of people were all stunned for a moment.
Hou Jichang had the sharpest eyes.
I immediately noticed the wooden plaque that Versace had already hung back on his waist.
That naturally represents the noble status of an inner court disciple.
So he immediately clasped his hands in a respectful bow and said.
"Greetings, Junior Brother!"
He had just offended a senior student in the chess room.
This junior brother, of course, cannot be neglected any longer.
Fan Sizhe glanced at Hou Jichang, nodded, and said calmly.
"Ah."
Cheng Jialin and Yang Wanli then realized what was happening and followed suit in greeting.
"Greetings, Junior Brother!"
Shi Chanli was stunned for a moment, but he had only met Fan Sizhe in the Department of Mathematics.
After realizing what was happening, they naturally recognized it.
He was a little curious as to why this junior brother Fan had come to the gambling skills examination room.
I was just about to ask.
Versace just happened to glance at it casually.
I also saw Shi Chanli, who had been chatting and laughing with me in the Department of Mathematics just now.
He immediately laughed and said.
"Brother Shi, you're here too!"
Cheng Jialin and Yang Wanli exchanged a glance.
I was somewhat surprised and somewhat excited.
He then looked at Shi Chanli, his eyes seeming to say something.
You little rascal, you've managed to get to know the senior students at the academy without making a sound.
From now on, you'll protect us.
Hou Jichang was also excited and very envious.
In particular, judging from the junior brother's attitude towards Shi Chanli, the two seem to have a very good relationship.
He connected the incident to what had happened in the chess room.
I couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings).
How come Shi Chanli is so lucky?
Upon arriving at the academy, I immediately made friends with the inner disciples, and we got along quite well.
But I offended a senior brother right from the start, sigh.
Shi Chanli was unaware of the shock of the people around him.
He simply looked at Versace and responded to his greeting.
He scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.
"Just escaped from the music and science research room."
"I wandered here by accident."
"We were just about to leave."
Versace was somewhat puzzled.
"Escape?"
Shi Chanli then recounted the incident in the music examination room where a candidate surnamed Guo was playing the piano haphazardly.
Versace laughed for a long time before finally calming down.
He glanced at the examination room and said.
“Brother Shi, Linglong, don’t leave 6710 either, stay at 55.”
"Perfect timing! Let's go to the exam room together and play Pai Gow?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Chanli hesitated.
He then glanced at his companion beside him.
The other three nodded frantically, like chickens pecking at rice.
Even Hou Jichang, who just now spoke righteously, saying that scholars should not be tainted by such vulgar habits, was among them.
At this moment, she not only smiled and nodded, but also pushed him inside.
Shi Chanli nodded and smiled.
"it is good."
So, led by Versace, the five of them stepped into the gambling skills examination room.
As soon as we entered the room, someone handed out chips.
The tables in front were already full.
