On Vermilion Bird Avenue, a wedding procession stretching for miles advanced in grand splendor.
The gilded bridal sedan, carried by sixteen bearers, shimmered under the sunlight. The embroide...
"Go and place two bets!" Huo Yunzhi told Fangcao to go and place hers as well.
"Miss, I wouldn't dare!" Fangcao quickly shook her head.
Fangcao didn't dare to get close to any of the smelly men on the hill.
"Useless thing!" Huo Yunzhi said with dissatisfaction.
However, she had no intention of going forward. After all, she couldn't bring herself to do something as degrading as squeezing in with a group of men.
"Then I'll bet on small!"
Liu San looked at Cheng Qingli with a smug expression. He had just paid two coins and received three taels of silver, which was two taels less than Zhang Si.
Liu San felt a pang of regret; he hadn't placed enough bets.
Thinking of this, Liu San bet all twenty copper coins he had brought with him that day on small bets.
Several people stared greedily at the fifty taels of silver, as if it were theirs.
They had even already decided in their minds which restaurant they would go to drink at once they won the fifty taels.
"Are you ready? If you are, get ready to start!" The dealer shouted helplessly.
"Bookmaker, open the door now!"
"That's right, hurry up and drive!"
Seeing everyone's eagerness, the dealer quickly opened the dice cup.
"One, three, three, small!" the dealer shouted.
Those who placed bets were extremely excited.
"How could this be? Bookmaker, you didn't cheat, did you?" Cheng Qingli looked at the bookmaker with a hurt expression and deliberately shouted loudly.
"Young lady, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Our Jubaolou restaurant never cheats!" the dealer said, his face looking rather grim.
"Let's go again! I refuse to believe I can't win!" Cheng Qingli deliberately pushed all her coins into the dealer's pot with a dissatisfied expression.
"Hey, bookmaker, this girl's betting on you to win. It's 1 to 2 odds," Liu San whistled, speaking with a hint of sarcasm.
It's important to understand that while the odds are high, the risks are equally significant.
No normal person would take this.
The landlord looked at Cheng Qingli with some hesitation, but Cheng Qingli turned her face away, unwilling to look at the landlord again.
"Miss Cheng, we agreed to come, so why are you hanging out with other people?" Huo Yunzhi deliberately said to Cheng Qingli from behind with some disdain.
"Who are you, woman? Can't you see they're having a great time with us?" someone quickly retorted to Huo Yunzhi with dissatisfaction.
After all, if Cheng Qingli continued to bet, it would be one hundred taels of silver. Thinking of this, everyone present was very excited, and none of them wanted to let go of that one hundred taels of silver.
"Miss Cheng, how about we play a few rounds of gambling?" Huo Yunzhi ignored the others and looked at Cheng Qingli with a smug expression.
After all, after these few matches, Huo Yunzhi was quite certain that Cheng Qingli was a complete idiot who didn't understand anything.
She believed that as long as she bet against her, Qin Lou would be hers for the taking.
They even saved three thousand taels of silver.
Thinking of this, Huo Yunzhi was very excited.
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up. If I don't win my money back today, I'm not a Cheng." Cheng Qingli's attitude of being "too engrossed" and "I don't want to pay attention to Huo Yunzhi" was on full display.
"Boss, hurry up and start, our Miss Cheng can't wait."
Those watching Cheng Qingli were secretly pleased, wondering which rich young lady had suffered some misfortune at home and had come to this gambling den seeking thrills.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Jia sighed, hoping that the Emperor and Empress would not punish him when they returned!
