Chapter 387: Qionglong Stone Shadow · Lighting the Sky Lantern

After she said this, I was finally excited, and I immediately understood what would happen next. Suddenly, I remembered some anecdotes I heard that grandfather mentioned this concept.
The so-called lighting of the sky is an old saying in the casino. In fact, it should be called "lighting". It is a gambling technique. It means that if someone on the table is found to have very bad luck, he will bet against him. You bet on the small, and he bets on you when he is idle. It is not his luck but the bad luck of others. This unlucky person is your "lamp". Some people are born with bad luck and will lose every time they gamble. They will also be specially invited to "light up" to lose money.
In terms of probability theory, this is actually not true. Probability theory does not recognize any luck. However, lighting the sky lanterns is absolutely useful. Any gambler knows that the world is so wonderful.
In the Qing Dynasty, in the circle of Jiangnan Haoke, because of the huge number of games and the lack of moderation, those who are frustrated and often lose their money one night, so the word "lighting" is not enough for that occasion. Moreover, the kind of dude pants often like to be nauseated with people. You do n’t look good with me. I think you are unfavorable. You have to bet on your mouth before you even gamble. As soon as I came up, "The second son of the Wang family, you don't have to know, I will take you to light the lamp today." The other party has to add a bit of scolding back, "You take the lamp, I will take the skylight!"
Two times, this is directly called the sky lantern. In fact, this is also relevant. The sky lantern is a fire that burns all of them down, just like they gambled all night to ruin their homes.
This was later extended, and the word was used outside the industry. When I went to auction to sell a line, this meaning also changed. I remember my grandfather told a story about the boss in their old nine doors. In the city of Beijing, she became famous and chased her wife, but she relied on the sky lantern when she was singing and selling. I have almost forgotten this story, and the old lady reminded me of this.
Lighting the sky lanterns at the time of the auction, it seems that it means to make a bazaar, that is, no matter what things are sold in this round, and the price, the person who lights the sky lanterns will pay for it, which is equivalent to what you like, you Despite the bid, I will pay for you.
This is generally the princely nobleman's trick to pick up girls. It is very common in the Qing Dynasty. Political marriages are all about money. Anyway, mastering the government money is a small thing, so the prince and son like to come here. Sometimes they happen to be two. The lord is not right, Kaizi on both sides still have to fight the lamp. This is not to see who has the highest price, but to see who has the boyfriend to live. There is no time limit when waiting, but you can remove the lamp, but if you When one party withdrew the lamp, it was really a face-sweeping. It was more uncomfortable for those second ancestors than they died in those days.
When hanging the single lamp, it is very cruel, you have to carry it at one point, until the end of the auction, no one knows what the price will be, and other auctioneers, the only chance to get the collection is Explode this lamp, bid hard, and raise the price to a very high level, so that the person who lights the sky cannot afford this price. Once this happens, the person who bid last will be auctioned back. Products, and the person who lights the sky must pay a certain price for their actions, sometimes it is money, sometimes it may be an organ like a finger. In short, this price is extremely painful, because the backstage boss must let everyone know that this is not Things used for games. Therefore, people who light up the sky lanterns must weigh their weight. That is not something that can be played with money.
Fortunately, the rules of lighting, and I ’m afraid you are asking for prices all over the world. Business people know that the price will only be established within a reasonable range. If a pair of slippers costs 100 million, then the matter will be withdrawn and no one will come with you. Play, and you shoot too high, even if you successfully blew the light, and the goods are postponed to you, you may also not be able to pay the price quoted at that time, which is equivalent to you blasting yourself, and you There will be no good fruit to eat. Therefore, their bid is still within a rational range, and it is unlikely that there will be a price for complete play. At the same time, there is a margin of increase, each price increase has a ceiling, and the auction has a time limit, so most of the auction is ended when Kai Zi is extremely painful but still affordable. This is also a safety measure. If you dare to finish the salary of the prince, the prince will directly send soldiers to copy the store.
This round of one-off auction is to light a lamp. At that time, the boss of the old nine-doors burned his half-year harvest by three, and finally it was estimated that the one who was chased had been wondering. If you click on the three lights, it is already a famous city. If you click on it again, how can I marry if their family's money is all gone? So he refused to order any more, and the result was as expected, and the next day he was successful. My grandfather said that the biggest characteristic of a smart woman is to know what is best for things.
And this time I only auctioned the best one in the whole auction. Mrs. Huo was determined to get it. If I did n’t take it at the end, I ’m afraid I would n’t take it easy. I ’m afraid this lamp will burn down and it ’s not enough.
In an instant, I overcame my head and entered a state of trance. Cold sweat came out like rain, and there was something in my stomach that was turning and spicy into my lungs. It took a long time for my thoughts to come back, and I quickly took a sip of tea to suppress the cold sweat. The heart said that this time playing big. How to do how to do? Do you want to withdraw? How much risk will Laipi have in a moment, will he get his finger cut off and sent back to my house to ask for money? Fatty, what is the chance of success of the three people who are out of the oil bottle. I should be able to escape for a while. I can rely on it. After being wanted, are they going to be hunted down by the underworld?
The countless thoughts in my mind were in confusion, and I didn't wait for a trace of thread. A guy took a gong and knocked around the field. It started, and the whole place was silent.
I did n’t listen to what the cheongsam woman said. I only trancely heard that the minimum bid was 100,000 and the maximum was 1 million. The back of my head was even harder to hear.
During the whole process, I did n’t have any consciousness at all, and my mind was in chaos. For an hour, I did n’t know how it happened. What made me wake up suddenly was a stuffy oil bottle. He suddenly pressed him on my shoulder. , Shocked me with a shock.
I looked back at him, he didn't look at me, without any turbulent expression, it seems that everything here has nothing to do with him. Like a cold-blooded bodyguard, I suddenly felt that the fat man was being taught too much, but his hand squeezed my shoulder very hard. Obviously there was any intention.
I don't know what it means, is it because I am ignorant and telling me that he is reassuring me? But giving him such a pinch may be conditioned reflex, and I suddenly really calmed down.
The scene was quiet, as if the bidding stopped. I turned my head to look at the fat man. The fat man didn't know the meaning of lighting the sky lantern. His spirit was completely embedded in the atmosphere, and he was sweating with a towel. It seemed to be excited.
I settled down and picked up the tea and asked him what happened? He said: His grandmother's, almost 100 million! I spit out all the tea in one sip. Sprayed his face.
He didn't even care about it. He rubbed it in his hand and continued, "Now it's time for rest, and there will be a second half in the second half of the year. It's over 2 million times. My mother, your fat grandfather, I've seen it for a long time." The host of the cheongsam woman, she was counting the records just now in the middle of the stage: "This girl goddess, the bells here ring the bells. At the beginning, all the bells rang and everyone chased the price. The scene was messed up, but this girl had n’t happened once. If you heard it wrong, it would be less than half a second. Which bell rang and which bell rang first, she immediately knew that this ear was a fairy ear. She wanted to marry someone, and his husband would never dare to call Xiao San. "He pointed to pink again. Shirt: "This kid is also awesome. He has been playing with his mobile phone and hasn't even lifted his head. He shook the last bell just before the break. It seemed that he was determined to get it, and he didn't even want to bid out his strength." Tai: "The old lady didn't show up once, it looks like she's going to play overweight after playing overweight."
I scolded it in my heart, knowing that I wanted to light the sky lantern, his mother-in-law didn't feel distressed to spend money one by one, but it didn't make sense anyway. Anyway, I couldn't get one tenth of it. Ten billion and one hundred million were for me. There is no difference. In the end, I did n’t know what to say, even if they were merciless and unrelenting, I would n’t be able to pay it for just one million.
Then you do n’t have to think about it. You ca n’t get it anyway. Lai Pi is Lai Ding. The safest way seems to be to wait for the next run.
I whispered the meaning of the sky lantern to the fat man. The fat man felt incredible and nervous. "What should I do? I rely on it. I said they raised the price so fiercely. We dare to pay."
I said softly, "What else can I do? This time the old lady deliberately wants us to look good. This is a big disaster. I don't know what clues or clues are there. It's important to save your life. Think about it. Let's find a chance to slip away." "
"Fuck off?" The fat man froze for a moment, still a little bit reluctant, "Not so serious, what can we do with Lapi at the foot of the emperor? We were also fooled by this old lady, and we only watched the first half, maybe we will wait for a while There is also a good show. It's really such a big price to watch and not lose money. "
"Good show you are a ghost, we really have good show if we don't leave." I said angrily, "If it's not serious, we will run away, and there will be opportunities in the future, but if it's serious, I rely on it!"
"Come on, let me go round and see if there is a way to slip out." He nodded and looked at the cheongsam woman: "If it doesn't work, we jump down to the stage and take that woman and goods as hostages, this girl's ears So easy to use, it should be very valuable. "
Just finished, the cheongsam girl under the stage suddenly froze for a moment, then raised his head, looking at our direction, frowning.
I looked at her, and I heard a sigh in my heart, and said, "No, can you hear it?" Busy made a whispered gesture to the fat man, and secretly pointed to the cheongsam woman below.
The fat man smiled dumbly: "Your girl is really serious, and her ears will not be like this. She must admire you very much and peek at you."
Said he choked his throat and said softly: "Big sister, we will run away in a moment, can't you hear it? Come and catch us when you hear it, and it will be over later."
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw the cheongsam woman looking at us, his face was even stranger, and I felt bad. His mother seemed to really hear it. Too busy to shut up the fat man, but unfortunately it was too late. When she saw her suddenly she drank and pointed at us. The guy on the side immediately looked at us and rushed up the stairs.
Slot cake, I secretly curse badly, she really heard it! Without waiting for my reaction, the light oil bottle flashed past me while jumping straight down from the gallery on the second floor.
I was dumbfounded, screaming all over, seeing that he had just turned over on the ground, another scream, turned around, and looked at the pink shirt with one hand on the railing of the gallery, with the other hand in his pocket, and turned . Stopped in front of the dull oil bottle, on the other side, the fat man shouted, picked up a stool, and rushed towards the hotel man who rushed in as soon as he kicked the screen.
The scene was messed up directly.
