Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After the first round of selection, the number of flower party participants shrank sharply, from two to three hundred people, and immediately shrank to about thirty people.

    Thirty people are less than one-seventh of the original number, which shows that blue is really not a popular choice.

    And these thirty or so people were also invited to the sixth floor of Tianxiang Pavilion, and the next second and third rounds of selection were all conducted on the sixth floor.

    Among these thirty people, apart from Li Mei¡¯s master and servant, there was no one acquainted with him. Li Tai, who had just disappeared, was also nowhere to be seen. It was unknown where he had gone.

    However, Zhuge Yan and Wang Yan, whose attention was focused on the Huahui election, did not have the energy to worry about Li Tai.  Under everyone's expectant and curious eyes, Murong Tina's maid announced the second round of selection.

    "This second round of selection is a kind of game."

    Gambling?

    Everyone was startled when they heard this, and then someone said: "It's fun to play games, dice or leaf cards? I, Lao Li, am proficient in everything!"

    Wang Juan thought that everything might not be that simple. The first round of selection was already so weird, how could this second round be an ordinary thing seen in the market.

    As expected, the maid shook her head when she heard this and said, "No, let's play something new, but it's much more interesting than dice and Guan Pu."

    Everyone was immediately curious, and some unconsciously asked in shock, "What's this new thing?"

    I saw the little maid took out a stack of paper from her arms and said with a smile: "Dear guests, you are familiar with the past and the present, but have you ever heard of the story about Qin Hui's twelve gold medals in a row to recover Grandpa Yue? Today's first  The second round is a kind of flower card game, Murong people call it 'Twelve Gold Medals'!"

    "Twelve gold medals?!"

    Hearing the name of the gambling game from the maid, Wang Juan felt something in his heart, secretly thinking that it was indeed something weird again.

    Everyone was stunned for a moment but came to their senses, and couldn't help but ask: "I wonder how this 'Twelve Gold Medal' game is played. I have never heard of it. I would like to ask for advice."

    The maid lined up the stack of papers on the ground and said with a smile: "There are a total of twenty-four playing cards here. The fronts are divided into three suits: 'Gold Medal', 'Chivalry' and 'Officer and Soldier'. Each suit is  They are all eight cards, and the backs of the cards are painted with black ink, so the suits on the front cannot be seen from the back. Two people can participate in the gambling game at a time. Each person will be assigned six cards.  If the number of 'chivalrous men' is greater than the number of 'officers and soldiers', it means that the chivalrous man successfully robbed the 'gold medal'. How many 'gold medals' there are in the six cards in hand means how many gold medals were robbed, and the side with more gold medals was robbed.  That is the winner. If the number of gold medals obtained is the same or neither of them gets a gold medal, then the number of 'chivalrous men' in both sides' cards will be compared, and the one with the greater number of 'chivalrous men' will win."

    When the maid said this, she saw nodding except for Wang Juan and a few others.  Most people still had puzzled expressions on their faces, so they took the trouble to explain: "Let's make an analogy, if the cards you get are two 'Knights', one 'Officers' and three  'Gold Medals', that is, 'two knights, one soldier and three golds', then the number of knights is greater than the number of officers and soldiers. Those three gold medals were successfully robbed by the 'chivalrous men', which means you robbed the 'three golds' in this round. If so  The six cards you got are three 'officers', two 'chivalrous' and one 'gold medal', that is, 'three soldiers, two knights and one gold', so because the number of officers and soldiers is greater than the number of knights who robbed the gold medal,  , so the gold medal robbery failed. Although you have a gold medal in your hand, this gold medal does not count, that is, there is zero gold medal in this round. If the number of 'chivalrous men' in your hand is equal to the number of 'officers and soldiers', then both sides will suffer.  The gold medal cannot be robbed. Do you understand, all the distinguished guests?"

    Wang Yan understood what the little maid meant early on, and most of the people, including Li Mei, nodded in response. Only Zhuge Yan still looked a little confused, but she didn't want to show that she didn't understand, so she had to look blank.  Don't respond expressively.

    However, someone still asked: "Sister, if you play like this, aren't we pretending to be knights who steal gold medals?"

    Hearing this, the maid said happily: "Grandpa Yue is a great hero. Of course we have to pretend to be knights and help Grandpa Yue steal the gold medal. Is it possible that this distinguished guest is not willing to be a knight who robs the gold medal?"

    "No! No!" the questioner waved his hands quickly, "I am very happy, very happy!"

    The little maid smiled after hearing this and continued: "We are halfway through the rules, let's continue. I just said that everyone will be assigned six cards, but only you can see the cards, but then you must put five of them  Turn it over, the other party can see your five cards, and you can also see the other party's five cards. Each player only has one card that cannot be seen as a hole card. At this time, the player as the player has the right to choose whether to rob it.  Gold medal, if you are a playerChoose to rob, and then the dealer chooses whether to rob. If both people choose to rob in the end, the trump card will be revealed. The side with more gold medals will be the winner.  "

    Wang Yan suddenly asked: "So, after turning over the five bright cards, each side can also choose not to steal the gold medal? Does choosing 'no robbery' mean that the game is invalid?"

    The maid glanced at Wang Yan, but did not show any contempt for his servant's dress. She treated everyone equally and said: "Indeed, if you feel that you have no chance of winning after looking at the opponent's cards, you can also choose not to win this time.  Rob', but choosing 'Don't Rob' does not mean that the game is invalid. If after the trump card is revealed, the party who chooses 'Don't Rob' has an advantage, then it will also be judged as a loser, and those who lose the opportunity will naturally be punished.  Punishment. Only when both of them choose 'no robbery', then the round will be considered void. These are all the rules, what do you think?"

    Wang Yan pondered for a moment and said: "The player needs to choose whether to 'rob' before the banker. Doesn't the banker have an advantage? This sister is not willing to let me be the banker, right?"

    The maid chuckled and said: "This little brother is very smart. If the dealer asks you to do it, it will work! But we have to decide the outcome in one round! If I am the dealer, then we will compete in three rounds.  , as long as the player wins one of the games, we will be considered a loser."

    After the maid finished talking, Wang Juan was still thinking about the pros and cons. One of them couldn't help but said: "Only two people can participate in the card game, so doesn't it mean that we have to take turns to fight?"

    "This guest is right. Guests who have entered the second round can come up to challenge at any time. As long as they win the game according to the rules I said, they can pass the second round of selection!"

    After everyone listened to the little maid's explanation, they immediately showed eager expressions. Firstly, the rules of this game are simple and easy to understand. Secondly, it sounds like a game with equal winning rate, so as long as your luck is not too bad, there is a high possibility of passing the second round.  , this is much easier than the first round of being pinched by others.

    Zhuge Yan was also in a good mood. Although she still knew a little about the rules, at least she felt relieved when she heard that she didn't have to pay any more.

    Because of this in his heart, as soon as the maid announced the start, some gamblers took the initiative to challenge. The first challenger was a fat man with fair skin and oily skin. This man's ten fingers were covered with rings. At first glance, he looked like a gambler.  An upstart.

    Hear this person say: "In that case, how about my sister being the banker and me betting on the first round?"

    After hearing the fat man's choice, the maid showed an invisible smile. She slowly pushed all the cards in front of her to the middle of the group, then rubbed her hands and said, "Then let the distinguished guest examine these cards.  By the way, can you shuffle the cards for us again?"

    The fat man took a step forward, knelt on the ground and said, "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful!"

    The first fat man to participate in the election immediately turned over the twenty-four black pieces of paper one by one. Sure enough, everything was as the maid said. Eight of them showed warriors standing in the wind, which should be what she said.  There is no doubt that the 'chivalry' is on the card, and the other cards are 'gold medal arrows' and 'officers and soldiers' in military uniforms.  The fat man seemed to be a veteran of gambling. He took a piece of paper and observed it carefully. He found that these cards with the same image were all hand-painted, and every stroke on the same card was exactly the same.  The person who plays this card is an excellent painter.

    After the fat man finished checking it, he handed it back to the maid and said, "Little girl, you can shuffle the cards!"

    "Okay!" The little maid was not polite, and the moment she touched the card, her whole temperament seemed to have changed. The next moment, she gently slapped her hand, and all twenty-four pieces of paper were  Flip it over, and then these black pieces of paper move quickly under the maid's delicate hands.

    Wang Yan, who was watching the battle, wanted to focus on a few pieces of paper at first, but then gave up his efforts due to the staggering speed of the little maid. The fat man who participated in the gambling game was even more stunned when he saw the little maid's methods.  Like a copper bell, it wasn't until she finished shuffling the cards and folded the twenty-four pieces of paper again and pushed them to the field that the fat man came back to his senses in a daze. The maid turned a blind eye to this and instead spoke softly.  He said to the fat man: "Dear guest, come and cut the cards."

    The fat man licked his lips and quickly and carefully cut the paper. Then the two people who participated in the first gambling game took turns to pick up the cards. When they finished grabbing the cards, Wang Yanqing thought to himself, the two of them were not there.  What tricks are you doing in the process of grabbing cards?

    After the maid caught the card, she just glanced at it gently and placed the piece of paper on the field with skillful gestures. The fat man had a rich expression. He frowned and thought for a while, muttered something, and after dillydallying for a long time, he made various decisions  He pushed the piece of paper defensively to the middle of the field,?? said in a trembling voice: "Can we turn over the cards now?"
