"Since Shushu said so, then what's wrong with us meeting in the capital?" Ye Wanwan took Shu Jin's hand and laughed heartily.
Originally, because of Master Sui Xin, she did not call Ye Yan "sister" at first like she did. Instead, she just called her "Miss Shu" when they met.
But now their relationship is getting better and better, and she really can't call a beautiful girl "Auntie", after all, Shushu is so beautiful.
Sometimes, time favors beauties. There are almost no traces of time on Shushu's face.
"Okay." Shu Jin shook hands back and held Ye Wanwan's hand tightly.
From the moment she revealed everything about her past, it meant that she truly believed in Ye Wanwan and this group of people. She didn't expect that there would be times when she was in the same boat with others. To be honest, this feeling was not bad.
"It's still as prosperous as before." Shu Jin opened the curtain of the carriage and looked at the capital city that she was once so familiar with. Her mind was filled with all kinds of thoughts, and she couldn't tell whether she felt more hatred or attachment.
She had never thought of coming back before. Firstly, she had to live according to her parents' wishes, and secondly, she was really powerless to change the status quo. She couldn't even see the chance of revenge. But now, she is back.
"Bite it, bite it..."
"Oh, what's going on!"
The sound of cockfighting came directly from the side of the road. Before the crowd of country bumpkins in the carriage could complain, Shu Jin recognized the most conspicuous person in the crowd at a glance.
"General Jin, this king...this master serves you with delicious food and drink every day, so you better cheer up." The man who spoke was waving his hands vigorously and yelling at the deflated rooster in the cockfighting arena. He was about to be torn to pieces.
"Alright, a golden thigh has been delivered to our door." Shu Jin lowered the carriage curtain, suddenly feeling that luck was on her side. "Wanwan, let's go down and take a look. You guys follow the original route, and we'll meet up with you later."
Ye Wanwan didn't understand why, but she still chose to obey and followed Shu Jin. The two of them walked side by side towards the cockfighting arena.
Anyone who could open a cockfighting arena on the main road in the capital must be either rich or noble, but she still didn't quite understand what Shu Jin said about the golden thigh that was delivered to her door.
There shouldn't be any necessary connection between these two things...
"Do you two want to bet too?" The manager of the cockfighting arena looked at the two girls walking towards them without any surprise. To them, the rich are the boss.
Shu Jin nodded and pointed at the injured General Jin. "Five taels of silver, it's him."
"Okay." The manager glanced at General Jin, who was not sure whether he could survive the next round, and his heart was filled with joy. He thought that this was another stupid man with a lot of money. He didn't know anything but just came to give away money.
After the manager finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Ye Wanwan, looking at her as if she was being taken advantage of. "Would you like to participate, young lady?"
"My sister is not very interested in this aspect, so let's leave it at this level for now." After Shu Jin said this, she found an empty seat and walked over holding Ye Wanwan's hand.
There are still many people who are optimistic about General Jin in the second round. After all, General Jin's physique is there, but more of them are gamblers. In this way, the odds will be high enough.
One round, two rounds, three rounds, after losing four rounds in a row... even General Jin's master Rong couldn't hold on any longer and planned to support the other side. Money doesn't come from the wind, and the less you lose, the better.
"Girl, don't put pressure on General Jin." Rong also stood in front of Shu Jin and advised her, seeming to feel a little reluctant.
This girl is really something. Didn't you see how scared the girl behind her was? Small gambling can make you happy, but big gambling can hurt your health.
"Twenty taels, I still don't believe it today." Shu Jin pretended to be a gambler who would never give up, and she scored 9.5 out of 10.
Rong looked at Shu Jin with disappointment, but his eyes were filled with sympathy when he looked at Ye Wanwan. He turned around and put the rest of his fortune on General Jin's opponent.
A smart person should know how to assess the situation, just like him, and cut losses in time. How can you just rush forward blindly? Young people are too reckless.
Before Ye Wanwan recovered from Rong Ye's deep sympathy, she saw the chicken named General Jin suddenly turn around and rush towards the opposite side to bite. Its ferocious force actually forced the opponent's chicken to retreat repeatedly.
No one expected that the situation would be reversed so suddenly. Everyone looked at Shu Jin with envy. Now, they had made their money back in an instant.
"General Jin is mighty!" Amid the sighs of the audience, Shu Jin's clapping of praise was particularly loud, clapping, clapping, clapping, hitting Rong Ye's face again and again.
Rong Ye's face turned pale, and he felt as disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly. "This stupid chicken, is he trying to go against me?"
"Even a rabbit will bite if it's cornered, let alone a carefully raised fighting cock?" Shu Jin gestured to Ye Wanwan to count the money and looked at Rong Ye with a smile.
Rong Ye gazed deeply at Shu Jin and carefully picked up General Jin. "Miss, you are right. I have some fighting cocks in my house. I wonder if you would be so kind as to help take a look at them?"
"It's my great honor." Shu Jin nodded, and did not forget to put a pill into General Jin's mouth.
After walking out of Prince Yong's Mansion and sitting on the carriage arranged by the mansion, Ye Wanwan almost relied on Shu Jin. Who wouldn't like an intellectual elder sister who is good at strategizing and controlling people's hearts?
Just gambling and cockfighting, and they've found a big backer for their business? What kind of novel plot is this? It's so cool!
"Shushu, how can you be sure that the prince will take us back home?" Because there were ears in the carriage, Ye Wanwan whispered next to Shu Jin's ear.
Shu Jin also replied quietly, "Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you fight a hundred battles without danger."
If you were to ask who has the greatest reputation in the capital, Rong would undoubtedly be the first to come to mind. He was a playboy when he was young, and now that he's older, he's still as famous as he was back then. It gives anyone a headache just to mention him.
But whether he is a real dandy or a fake one remains to be seen...
"If General Jin had lost, the prince, who is kind-hearted, would naturally be unable to resist giving him a lecture. But he happened to win, so it can be considered as an excuse." Shu Jin held the shop deed in her hand, her tone calm, but her hands were shaking a little.
Unexpectedly, after so long, Princess Yong still recognized her at a glance. What was even more unexpected was that in such a critical situation, her mother, who would usually talk to her father for half a day when she pricked her hand, actually secretly left so many things for her.
