Jiang Songyi was immersed in memories of the past, when suddenly, a forgotten past event emerged in her mind.
In her previous life, she accidentally stumbled into a dark ghost market and unexpectedly picked up a mysterious token next to a pile of corpses.
That token has the magical power to mobilize the largest business company in the Western Jin Dynasty - Shengfeng.
She had an idea and decided to present the token to Wen Zigu, hoping to win his favor.
Although Wen Zigu was disgusted with her, he still reluctantly accepted the token. With the help of this token, he accumulated a huge fortune, made many friends, and formed a clique for personal gain.
It was this token that played a crucial role in Wen Zigu's later usurpation of the throne.
In this life, Jiang Songyi thought that it would be safer to keep such a precious treasure for himself.
…
In the evening, the setting sun was like gold, making the high walls of Yongding Marquis Mansion shine brightly.
Jiang Songyi changed into a neat set of men's clothes, with a slender figure, and sneaked out of the room alone and came to the side of the wall.
She looked at the towering wall, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes, and she jumped up and climbed over the wall with ease.
The streets in the north of the city were bustling with people. Jiang Songyi moved carefully among the crowd, trying her best to avoid attracting other people's attention.
As night fell, she quickened her pace and headed towards the ghost market.
The ghost market is located in the most prosperous area in the north of the city. It is surrounded by winding alleys and is easy to enter but difficult to exit.
Jiang Songyi relied on the memories of her previous life as she shuttled through the narrow alleys, but she couldn't help but think of the Tianguan Festival that almost put her in danger.
At that time, she was in her prime, full of curiosity about the future. On the day of Tianguan Festival, she secretly followed the maid out of the mansion, hoping to catch a glimpse of the capital.
However, they accidentally stumbled into the ghost market, a place full of weirdness and mystery. Jiang Songyi still feels scared when she recalls it.
If she hadn't met Sheng Fengling, she would probably never be able to leave that place!
Following her memories from her previous life, Jiang Songyi walked alone north along Kowloon Street and accidentally arrived at the door of a gambling house.
Suddenly, she heard someone shouting, "Second Young Master Jiang!" She had an idea and looked over. She immediately recognized that the young man in front of the gambling table was her second brother Jiang Baichuan.
Jiang Songyi quietly pushed open the door of the gambling house, and saw Jiang Bochuan sitting at a gambling table in the midst of the hustle and bustle, looking elegant and handsome with a rosy face.
The gambling chips in his hand flew around, sometimes betting on big, sometimes on small, as if he was immersed in gambling.
The dandies in the gambling house gathered around Jiang Baichuan, vying to flatter him. One of the young men said, "Second Young Master Jiang, you're really lucky today! You've won several rounds in a row."
Jiang Baichuan smiled slightly: "It's just luck, just luck."
Second Young Master Jiang, could you lend us some of your luck?"
Jiang Baichuan laughed: "I can't borrow your luck, but I can teach you a few moves."
"Second Young Master Jiang, can you tell us how you always win?"
Jiang Baichuan picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and then said slowly: "It's actually very simple. When it comes to gambling, the most important thing is your mindset. If you have a good mindset, your luck will naturally be good."
The dandies nodded one after another, their faces full of admiration.
Jiang Songyi looked at this scene and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
At this time, Jiang Baichuan won another game, and the playboys cheered and applauded.
"Second Young Master Jiang, can you teach us how to win money gambling like you?"
Jiang Baichuan smiled and said, "Tell me first, what are you thinking about when you gamble?"
The man thought for a moment and said, "I want to win money and prove myself."
Jiang Baichuan shook his head: "You're wrong. If you only think about winning money, you'll lose money. When gambling, you must be calm and not be swayed by desire."
Another young man in fancy clothes immediately interrupted, "Then how can we achieve a peaceful and calm mind?"
Jiang Baichuan looked at him and said, "That depends on your practice. Winning money from gambling is not something that can be achieved overnight. You need to practice slowly and learn to control your desires."
The playboys nodded one after another, indicating that they understood what Jiang Baichuan meant.
At this moment, a naive guy suddenly came up and said, "Second Young Master Jiang, your newly adopted sister, Jiang Songyi, is a famous beauty in the capital. You've won so much money, but have you thought about how to please her?"
Seeing those dandies mention the name "Jiang Songyi", Jiang Baichuan immediately snorted coldly and said contemptuously: "She is not worthy of being my sister at all. The true daughter of the Yongding Marquis Mansion is only my second sister Jiang Yuyao."
The dandies all nodded in agreement. One of them, a young man named Zhao Cheng, said, "Jiang Baichuan, you're right. Jiang Songyi, that barbaric and vulgar woman, is unworthy of the title of Yongding Marquis' Mansion. I heard that she pushed Jiang Yuyao into the icy lake not long ago. It's really infuriating."
Jiang Baichuan heard this, a flash of anger in his eyes, and clenched his fists: "I will never let this happen again. I will go back to the mansion and support my second sister."
Zhao Cheng and the others hurriedly tried to dissuade him, saying, "Jiang Baichuan, don't worry. We're here to help you find a solution. You just won this round, why not play another one and win more money to buy Jiang Yuyao a gift and cheer her up?"
Jiang Baichuan hesitated for a moment, a flicker of hesitation in his eyes. After thinking for a while, he finally nodded: "Okay, let's gamble again. But I want to remind you that this gambling house is full of traps, so you have to be careful."
