She was the daughter of the county magistrate but was forced to marry into a peasant family by her dímǔ.
She wasn’t from this world. With supernatural powers, a flip of her hand would mak...
Chapter 666 Then Shao Yunduan quickly became famous
"Yes, we can," the dealer smiled, "but you are the only one who has placed a bet on this Shao Yunduan scholar. If you place a small bet, we can't open this odds! If you want to place a bet, you have to place at least one thousand taels. We will open this odds for you, how about that?"
Someone is offering money to me, why not take it? The banker thought.
Qiao Xuan: "What are the odds?"
Hearing that she was planning to place a bet, the dealer perked up and said, "50% to 1."
You know, the odds of other popular candidates are at most 3 to 1, and the odds of the two most popular candidates are even only 1 to 1. The gambling house opens the odds to make money, not to give money to people.
One to five, that's very high.
Everyone suddenly started to make noise and shout, it was so lively!
Qiao Xuan smiled: "You said it, so I bet on him to win. Look, this is five thousand taels!"
Qiao Xuan took out five silver notes worth one thousand taels and bid on the spot.
Everyone gasped, and then the strange screams and applause almost blew the roof off.
"Good! You have guts!"
"Hahahaha, where did this idiot come from!"
"How can five thousand taels be enough? Add a little more! Add a little more!"
The dealer was also stunned, then smiled with his eyes curved. He took the banknote neatly and immediately gave Qiao Xuan a special ticket for the gambling house. He smiled and said, "Take it. No matter what, keep it as a souvenir!"
Everyone burst into laughter and looked at Qiao Xuan with mockery and ridicule, as if they were looking at a fool.
Qiao Xuan smiled: "I will definitely take the good ones, otherwise how can I exchange them for silver? Don't forget to prepare the 25,000 silver!"
The dealer laughed loudly, full of confidence.
"Don't worry, our gambling house will not default on its debts!"
Qiao Xuan snorted, "That's good!"
She believed this. After all, if someone could open a gambling house, he must have a lot of capital, and he couldn't afford to pay tens of thousands of silver. Besides, she had the support of the Lezheng family, so she wasn't afraid of people refusing to pay.
Afterwards, Qiao Xuan found three more gambling houses and followed the same method, placing a bet of 5,000 taels of silver on each of them.
When the other three heard about what happened to the first company, they all found it interesting and followed suit, offering odds of 1 to 5.
As a result, many onlookers who came for fun followed suit and placed bets, ranging from three to five taels. In the end, each of the four gambling houses received a minimum of more than one hundred taels from Shao Yunduan.
Then Shao Yunduan quickly became famous!
Lu Min and Gu Zhiyou, who were good friends with Shao Yunduan, were also stunned. Who was this? What a big deal!
But after they thought about it, they actually believed that Shao Yunduan might have understood the secret of Li Yuan?
Shao Yunduan has always been very low-key, not showing off or boasting, but his talent is definitely not low, and they can't even figure out his bottom line.
The two joked with him and said they would place a bet later to support their brother.
Shao Yunduan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
As for who they were guessing was responsible for such a big deal, Shao Yunduan knew without a second thought, who else could it be other than his wife?
Lu Min and Gu Zhiyou actually went to "support their brother". They came from ordinary families and did not have much spare money, so each of them donated five taels of silver.
Shao Yunduan returned home and smiled when he saw Qiao Xuan.
Qiao Xuan felt a little guilty, but not too guilty. She said confidently, "I think my husband should also have a name, for good luck! My husband won't blame me for wasting money, right?"
