Chapter 319 Losing Seven Games in a Row
"Big!"
"Yes, big!"
Lin Baoer was surprised and almost jumped for joy.
Lin Zhishen also laughed, "Well, I won."
Tang Mu muttered in boredom, "Only three hundred taels, I don't know what to be happy about."
"Do you still want to gamble?" he said.
Lin Baoer, who was still happy, was about to say that she didn't want to gamble anymore, but Lin Zhishen said, "Bet."
"How much?"
"All."
"Okay!" Tang Mu also laughed and rubbed his hands, "Do you still remember the strange thing about you? Today, Miss Lin is here, let's see if you can solve it."
Lin Baoer was a little confused and just wanted to ask, Tang Mu started shaking the dice quickly, so she had to swallow her words again.
What kind of riddle is this one or two? It was not
until half an hour later that Lin Baoer finally understood what Tang Mu had just said.
They gambled eight rounds in total, and except for the first round, they lost the next seven rounds! They owed Tang Mu eight thousand taels of silver!
"You cheated, didn't you?!" Lin Baoer flipped the dice in disbelief, a little mad, and sweat broke out on her forehead.
That's eight thousand taels of silver! What can they use to pay it back!
She finally understood the mentality of those gamblers. They always thought that they could make a comeback with the last hand, but in fact they would end up bankrupting everything in the end!
"Hey! What are you talking about, Miss Lin? I, Changqianfang, never cheat anyone, and I will never use such abusive methods." Tang Mu couldn't hide his smile, and he was so happy in his heart.
"What do you mean by what you just said?!" Lin Baoer asked in disbelief.
"What?" Tang Mu said innocently.
Lin Baoer gritted his teeth, "You said that I was here today, so I could solve this or that."
"Oh~ that..." Tang Mu suddenly realized and smiled, "Don't you know Miss Lin? Jiang Shen always loses when he gambles with me, and the only time I let him win was when I let him win. I thought it would be better today with Miss Lin, but I didn't expect it to be like this." Hearing this
, Lin Baoer turned her head and looked at Lin Zhishen in shock, "Why didn't you say it earlier?!"
Lin Zhishen coughed lightly, moved his butt outward, and took a sip of tea to cover up his mistake, "I thought... this time was different."
Lin Baoer held his forehead.
Sure enough, the psychology of gamblers cannot be guessed.
She thought she could make a lot of money today, but she didn't expect to owe so much money that she even lost her pants.
"Well, since we're done gambling, let's pay?" Tang Mu stretched out his hand and looked at the two of them with a smile, "There are no friends at the gambling table, so don't be rude, but don't blame me for not being nice, how about I round it off for you?"
"Round it off for you?" Lin Bao'er was still racking her brains to find an excuse, but suddenly heard this and was a little suspicious, "Are you sure?"
Rounding off eight thousand taels of silver would turn it into eight hundred taels, which are completely different.
"Of course." Tang Mu fiddled with his Buddhist beads. "You owe the casino a total of 8,005 taels, which is 8,000 taels after rounding off."
Lin Baoer's face instantly cracked. "Where did you get another 5 taels of silver?!"
She admitted that the ups and downs of life can be really torturous sometimes.
"Service fee." Tang Mu said righteously. "Ordinary people can pay one or two taels of silver, but this time I, the boss, will personally serve you, so of course it will be much more than ordinary people. But I won't ask for too much, so 5 taels of silver will be enough."
"So, who will pay the 8,000 taels of silver?"
Almost in a flash, Lin Baoer took a step back, pointed at Lin Zhishen expressionlessly and said, "He will pay."
Lin Zhishen was quite helpless.
"Hahaha... Jiang Shen, ah Jiang Shen, I didn't expect you to have this day." Tang Mu laughed so hard that he fell backwards. "I thought this beauty would treat you differently and maybe help you, but I didn't expect the result to be like this. It's really expected, hahaha..."
Lin Baoer pretended not to understand and glanced away, feeling a little guilty.
Even so... but she... after all, four of them were hers, wouldn't it be bad to sell Lin Zhishen like this?
Her eyes moved to the two clothes she had just bought, and she hesitated, "How about... I give you these two clothes in exchange for them?"
Tang Mu was a little surprised, "How much can two clothes be worth?"
"I got ten thousand taels, and I haven't worn them yet, so they are more than worth eight thousand taels." Lin Baoer lied with her eyes half closed, "This is made of silk from the Snow Country, and it's worth a fortune."
"Snow Country?" Tang Mu was suspicious, "I've only heard of silk from the South Country, is the Snow Country... very famous?"
"Don't you know this?" Lin Baoer started to deceive, "The Snow Country's silkworms are tribute items, and ordinary people can't even see them. It takes ten years to sew one piece of clothing, it's incomparably precious, much more expensive than the silk from the South Country."
"Really?" Tang Mu was a little unconvinced and stretched out his hand towards the two clothes, "Let me see."
Lin Baoer curled her lips and was delighted.
She didn't expect this man to be so easy to deceive. If she continued to deceive him, she would probably be able to avoid the eight thousand taels of silver.
Just as Lin Baoer cleared her throat and was about to deceive again, Lin Zhishen suddenly stood in front of Tang Mu and stopped him from touching the two wrapped clothes, "No, I can't give this to you."
Lin Baoer's eyes widened, and she was almost angered by Lin Zhishen. She was anxious, "A Shen!"
She was about to succeed, why did this man ruin his own plan!
Tang Mu raised his eyebrows and looked at the two of them, rolling his eyes, "Really? If you don't give it to me, then you'll have to pay eight thousand taels~"
"Lin Zhishen!" Lin Baoer walked over, tugged at his sleeve, and whispered, "It's just two pieces of clothing, if they're gone, they're gone. That's eight thousand taels! You can buy more than a dozen of these clothes!"
How can this guy not know what's good for him!
I couldn't hear what Lin Baoer was saying, but I could guess a little from her expression. The smile on Tang Mu's face deepened. He glanced at the unmoved Lin Zhishen and curled his lips, "Well, Miss Lin, since this is the first time Jiang Shen brought a friend here, I don't want the eight thousand taels. You just have to give me these two clothes."
"You and I both know whether it's worth eight thousand taels, but it just so happens that I like silk clothes, and it's not a loss to exchange for what I love. What do you think?"
Lin Baoer was surprised, "Okay!"
Tang Mu had said this, so Lin Baoer naturally wanted to do it. She passed by Lin Zhishen and wanted to take the two clothes, but before she could get them, the clothes were hooked into Lin Zhishen's arms and then he stepped back three steps.
"No, I won't change."
Lin Baoer was so angry that she almost vomited blood, and her head hurt.
"You..."
"Okay, Tang Mu, don't tease her anymore." Lin Zhishen sighed, put the bag on the other side in a higher position, and glared at Tang Mu.
Tang Mu changed his sincere look just now and smiled, "I'm helping you, don't appreciate it."
