Five hundred and forty. Gambling (eighth)
The stolen pocket watch did not affect Wang Weiyi's mood.
What he needs is a layer of protective color. Now that he recognizes Farouk I, what does it matter if he lacks a pocket watch? Even the Maserati sports car Wang Weiyi has already sent it out.
At the dinner, Wang Weiyi met Farouk I's wife Queen Farida.
When he saw this noble queen, Wang Weiyi's mind immediately had a few words:
Cleopatra.
Yes, Cleopatra!
No matter what aspect, appearance or figure, Farid is very famous in history, but no one knows what kind of Egyptian queen he looks like.
Although no one knows what Cleopatra looks like, Farida's first feeling is that
But Farouk I didn't seem to notice that his wife was the most wisest person in the banquet, as if the king had no relationship with his wife.
He showed off his knowledge to his ministers and guests, what he saw and heard in England, and boasted about how much sexual relationship he had in England
The ministers were all embarrassed, but Queen Farida seemed to have become accustomed to her husband's attitude. She was just savoring the food silently with her head down. She would occasionally raise her head, but she would always find that "Baron Andrew" from England was staring at her, blushing, and then she quickly lowered her head, but after a while, she couldn't help but lift her head up.
This damn baron is so bold. Doesn't he know his identity? Queen Farida thought in her heart.
But if you think about it carefully, the baron is so young and handsome, but he is too strong than his husband who is as fat as a pig. How could he have such an idea? It's so terrible
But Farouk I didn't notice all this at all. After he talked about his romantic affairs, he suddenly asked, "Mr. Baron, what about you? Do you have any stories worth telling?"
"Ah, Your Majesty, my experience is not worth talking about compared to yours." Wang Weiyi said modestly: "I have only been to a few places, and it is my first time to come to Cairo. If I have to tell you a story, I have been to China. I think maybe everyone here knows that China has a civilization history as old as Egypt."
The topic quickly unfolded in history, but it was obvious that Farouk I was not interested in these things at all. In his opinion, it was more interesting to discuss women than to talk about these ancient things.
If the other party was not a British person, he would have shut up long ago
After finally waiting for their discussion on history to pause for a moment, Farouk I immediately interrupted, "My friends, the dinner is almost over. I wonder why don't we come to find some entertainment activities? For example, playing cards, how about it?"
Wang Weiyi was about to refuse, but found that Mr. Roryman nodded quietly to him. Perhaps if he wanted to be unobstructed in Cairo, in addition to his identity as a British person, he would probably have to be favored by this king.
Wang Weiyi never expected that he would bet on the bet with the kings and ministers of Egypt in the palace in Cairo.
They played "Stuh Ha", five cards, and a maximum limit of one thousand pounds, not everyone could afford it.
Wang Weiyi, Roryman, and Farouk I. Both ministers joined the game. What surprised Wang Weiyi the most was that Farida actually sat at the gambling table in Egypt in the future.
Hell, a woman and a queen like gambling too? Maybe life in the palace is too boring
After a few moves, the winner was not very big. As the game progressed, even the calm Mr. Roryman was fully invested in it, and the money on the gambling table gradually increased.
Wang Weiyi got a card that was not very good. His trump card was a black heart 3 and his face card was a Q. He didn't care too much, so he picked up a pound and threw it out: "Ten pounds."
"Ahhh, Mr. Baron, it seems that your card is not good." Farouk I sat at the gambling table, no different from any gambler: "I, I, you are one hundred pounds older than you."
His card is a block A.
Perhaps everyone's cards were not good, and no one followed, and Queen Farida was the first to join the cards.
Wang Weiyi didn't care about the money, so he followed one by one. When the last card was issued, Wang Weiyi had a pair of Qs.
"One thousand pounds, Mr. Baron, are you interested in following again?" Farouk I, whose face was a one-on-one, one A and one K, said provocatively.
"Me and I." Wang Weiyi added a thousand pounds calmly.
"Look, see what I have!" Farouk I suddenly became excited and spread his trump card, which was another A.
Two pairs!
Wang Weiyi shrugged and closed all the cards: "Your Majesty the King, you are lucky, you won."
"Aha, Mr. Baron, I'm sorry, your skills are not very good." Farouk I received all the money in front of him with great enthusiasm.
Wang Weiyi admitted that without Xiao Ling's help, his card skills would be really bad
When the new round of cards is issued, perhaps God has arranged it, Wang Weiyi's trump card is still the same black heart 3, but the face card is a red heart 3.
One-on-three, looks good.
Queen Farida's card seems to be good, and the face card is 9.
The cards were followed one by one, and the money in the bet was already piled up very high.
Wang Weiyi's luck seemed to have improved, and he got another 3 and another 6.
The others have withdrawn, leaving only Queen Farida with one pair of nine and one piece of three.
"One thousand pounds." Queen Farida threw out a lot of money in silence.
"I and me." Wang Weiyi said lightly.
This little money is nothing in his eyes, he can afford to lose.
But Queen Farida lost a lot before. You know, Farouk I would not share some of her money to his wife. The Queen's money was just royal subsidies, so she couldn't afford to lose.
The last card was dealt out, and Wang Weiyi got a 6-cube! Now, his face cards are one-to-three and one-to-6.
Queen Farida got an A.
"One thousand pounds." Queen Farida was a little excited.
"I and I." Wang Weiyi still had the expression of being calm and unscathing.
Just as he was about to open the card, Queen Farida suddenly asked, "Mr. Baron, can you still raise the bet?"
It seems that her trump card may be another 9. Wang Weiyi smiled faintly and said, "Queen, just entertainment, don't have to be so serious."
Queen Farida stared at the other party and asked the same thing: "Mr. Baron, can you still raise the bet?"
Wang Weiyi shrugged indifferently: "As you wish, queen."
Queen Farid took a necklace from her neck and put it on the gambling table: "Mr. Baron, this is given to me by my mother. Can it be worth ten thousand pounds?"
Wang Weiyi glanced at it and found that a good necklace, especially the gem inlaid on the pendant, was even more valuable, and it could be worth about 150,000 to 20,000 pounds.
"This necklace is good, absolutely more than 10,000." Wang Weiyi said truthfully: "I can be it 20,000 pounds, queen. Oh, I don't bring so much cash. I think you can see this?"
He took out a diamond from his pocket and slowly put it on the gambling table
Everyone's attention was attracted by this diamond. They had never seen such a huge and perfect diamond. Farouk I even showed a greedy expression in his eyes. Why didn't he steal this diamond during the day?
"Its value is far more than 20,000 pounds." Queen Farida said in surprise.
"It doesn't matter, just treat it as 20,000 pounds." Wang Weiyi still smiled calmly.
Queen Farida gritted her teeth and spread her trump card. As expected, three 9 cards were not as expected by Wang Weiyi!
Queen Farida showed the winner's smile: "Mr. Baron, I still have a 3 here. Do you have three 3s?"
Wang Weiyi smiled and slowly spread out the trump card: "Queen, your luck today doesn't look very good. full house!"
fullhouse!
Everyone's eyes widened!
Three pictures 3, one pair 6—fullhouse!
Queen Farid was completely stunned, and she sat there in a daze without saying a word.
God, the other party really caught the full house!
Wang Weiyi felt that he was lucky today and had a complete turnaround. At this time, Farouk I smiled and said, "Aha, our queen is not very lucky. Look, gentlemen, it's too late now, let them end this bet happily."
Wang Weiyi took what he had won and stood up. He was worried that Farouk I's people would help him. God knows what they would go away.
Seeing Farouk I want to hug him, Wang Weiyi hurriedly said: "His Majesty the King, I can't have a second pocket watch."
King Farouk laughed "haha": "Mr. Baron, you are so humorous, I hope to see you again soon."
"Thank you, Your Majesty the King, I hope so too."
When Wang Weiyi left, he took a special look at Queen Farida. He found Queen Farida sitting there in a daze without saying a word.
Wang Weiyi was a little strange. Isn’t it just a gem necklace? Why should a queen care so much?
However, today's gains were pretty good. It was not that I won a lot of money, but that I successfully approached the Egyptian king, which was of great help to my trip to Egypt.
