After a while, Lin Yunxiao found the place for gambling inside the casino.
"Bet 1 to 10, bet 1 to 10." The casino owner shouted.
"What do you mean by betting one and getting ten back?" Lin Yunxiao immediately rushed to the man to join in the fun.
"Let's bet on whether no one in Lin'an will pass the exam this year?" The boss said as he explained, "We have two ways to bet! Bet on the place and bet on the person."
"So what is this 10 to 1 game you're talking about?" Lin Yunxiao asked again.
"Hasn't it been four years since no one in Lin'an City passed the exam? This side is betting that someone in Lin'an has passed this year, but that side is betting that no one has passed." After explaining, the boss kindly said, "Little brother, I see you are a new face, and it must be your first time playing, so I recommend you, the one who didn't pass the exam. No one in Lin'an City has passed the exam for four years. This year is expected to be no exception."
Lin Yunxiao also got angry after hearing this, and casually threw five taels of silver to the person who passed the exam. "Who said that no one from our Lin'an City passed the exam this year? I want to pass it."
After seeing the two people arguing for a long time, Ji Yu felt that it was boring and walked to the other side by himself.
"Come on, little brother, take a look. Who is the youngest person to pass the exam this year?" A man with a pointed mouth said as he pulled Ji Yu to the front of the table.
Ji Yu took a look and found his name on it. He pointed at the sign and said, "Who is this person?"
When the man saw Ji Yu pointing at an unpopular contestant, he kindly reminded the fans, "We are betting on who is the youngest among those who passed the exam this year. This person seems to be less than 15 years old. Although he is young, he is from Lin'an City, so it is unlikely. I advise you to look at other students."
Ji Yu calculated that he had taken 600 taels with him when he left. The escort agency and the car cost 50 taels, and the inn and meals during the exam days cost 150 taels. There were still 15 days to wait for the results to come out, and the hotel stay plus daily expenses would cost at least 100 taels.
I still have 300 taels of silver left. I have to keep 100 taels for the journey and 100 taels for my sister to buy things. So I only have 100 taels of silver left.
Ji Yu reluctantly took out 100 taels of silver and asked, "What are the rules for this bet?"
The man with the pointed face and monkey cheeks' eyes lit up when he saw the money, and he quickly explained in a flattering manner, "There are 10 people here. If two or three of these 10 people pass the exam, then all the bets of the unsuccessful ones will be distributed to the others who passed."
Ji Yu thought about it and thought it was feasible, so he put the money under his own name and said, "I bet 100 taels on Ji Yu of Lin'an City."
After hearing this, the man quickly took the money and handed him the sign, and kindly reminded him, "Use this to claim the prize when the time comes!! " But what he was thinking was, if none of the 10 people won, the money would be theirs. It was a huge profit.
When Ji Yu found Lin Yunxiao, they were also planning to go back. Seeing the sign in Ji Yu's hand, he quickly asked, "Which one did Junior Brother Ji play?"
Ji Yu answered, "The kind where you put your name on it, and put your own name on it to get good luck."
After hearing this, Lin Yunxiao said, "That's the worst! If all 10 people don't win, the money will belong to the gambling house. You've been cheated."
Ji Yu waved his hands and said, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. It's rare to see my name, I just want to have a good start. Don't play gambling next time, it's addictive!"
"I know, I know! I'm just trying to get a good start, right?" Lin Yunxiao continued, and then laughed in a low voice, "Junior brother, how come you look like an old man at such a young age?"
Ji Yu didn't say anything else, and they quickly returned to the inn.
The results will be out in 10 days. In the next few days, the few people did not go out, and rested in the inn. Even the classmates in Lin'an, who had a reunion with three people, did not go out.
Although Ji Yu did not go out, he learned about Zhao Xiuyong's situation from other classmates.
Zhao Xiuyong had already sent back the letter of withdrawal before his results came out. His future father-in-law even contacted the prefect and asked him to handle the matter as soon as possible.
After all, it was necessary to hurry up before Zhao Xiuyong's results came out, otherwise it would be easy to be criticized. He was engaged to his daughter as soon as the results came out. Regardless of whether he got the job or not, Zhao Xiuyong's father-in-law had promised to find him a job in the capital.
Therefore, Zhao Xiuyong frequently attended the gatherings of students in Lin'an City in the past two days. His tail was almost raised to the sky, like a big rooster.
Ji Yu was speechless when he heard this. It seems that Phoenix Men will eventually become Phoenix Men. The nature cannot be changed.
But he heard by chance that the daughter of the fifth-rank official was extremely ugly and had not yet married at the age of 19.
I don’t know if Zhao Xiuyong will regret it in the future, but it doesn’t matter anymore, after all, Qingqing will be his from now on!!!
