She really didn't expect that her sixth brother in the family was the one who trusted her the most?
Ji Mingshuang couldn't stand it any longer: "Shut up."
Ji Mingyan directly picked up a big chicken drumstick for Ji Mingshuang: "I know you are prejudiced against your brother-in-law. I won't talk to you. I will talk to my eldest brother. Just eat your meal."
Ji Mingxi tried hard to understand his sixth brother's reasoning, but he failed. "Mingyan, you can't draw such a conclusion, right?"
Ji Mingyan looked at his elder brother, his eyes flickering: "Ah?"
Ji Mingxi: "Yunniang does have good eyesight, but whether my brother-in-law can get into the top class depends on his own real talent and knowledge, and also on his performance in the exam. The right time, right place, and right people are all essential."
Ji Mingyan didn't care about all that: "My brother-in-law is very smart and a good person. God will definitely be on his side. Don't worry, big brother, two of the top two candidates in this spring exam are from our Ji family!"
Ji Mingxi wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.
Never mind, that's all. I still want to drink tea.
He called the servant: "Pour me a cup of tea."
Ji Mingshuang: "..."
-
In the afternoon of the second day, Ji Yunxi and his group headed towards the largest casino in the capital.
Ji Yunxi's carriage is very easy to recognize. The entire carriage is made of large-fruited red sandalwood from the southwest. Every beam and pillar is exquisitely carved, and even the horse is a rare Arabian horse.
Therefore, when the carriage was running on the street, the people all knew who was in the carriage.
There were many idle people, so they followed quietly behind, wanting to see what Ji Yunxi was going to do.
After all, the Ji family was showing off their presence today. In addition to Ji Yunxi's carriage, there were three more following behind.
I don’t know what was in it, but it was so heavy that the strong horse’s pace was not as fast as usual.
To everyone's surprise, the carriage stopped in front of Dechang Casino.
Dechang Casino is the largest casino in the entire capital, and people from all walks of life love to come here.
Every day, people lose everything here, and some even put their wives and children on the line.
Some people make a lot of money and leave with a big laugh, but they might come back again in a few days and lose everything.
Therefore, basically no one can make money from the casino, and all the money flows into the pockets of the Feng family behind it.
This is also the reason why the Feng family has been rising rapidly over the years.
After all, you need to take care of everything in the officialdom, so how can you do it without money?
The curtain decorated with silk threads was lifted, and Ji Yunxi and Ji Mingyan got out of the car one after another.
Ji Yunxi wore a white dress today. Though the color was understated, the embroidery and silk thread were meticulously crafted, shimmering slightly in the sunlight as she walked, exuding an understated luxury. Coupled with her expressionless face, yet with exquisite features, she looked like a white lotus blossoming from a snowy mountain.
Ji Mingyan has always loved red, and he was wearing a red dress today, which made his face look even whiter and his big eyes look even brighter.
But no one dared to look him in the eye because of the rumors.
Ji Yunxi walked into the Dechang gambling house first, and Ji Mingyan followed behind.
Behind them, servants came in one after another carrying box after box of things.
The onlookers were all surprised and followed him into Dechang Casino.
Anyway, anyone can enter this place!
The gambling house owner got the news quickly and came out to greet them personally: "Hello, Sixth Master, Hello, Third Miss."
Ji Yunxi hummed, not wanting to waste words: "I heard that you can place bets on the winner of next year's Spring Examination?"
The owner glanced at the servants carrying boxes in the back and said, "Yes, Miss San, do you want to place a bet?"
Ji Yunxi nodded: "These, 50,000 taels of gold, 100,000 taels of silver, I'll bet them all on Wu Weian."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
The gamblers at the nearby table, who were mad with anger, looked over subconsciously.
What is the concept?
The current queen's annual salary is only twenty taels of gold and two thousand taels of silver.
Ji Yunxi converted it and found that it was roughly equivalent to an annual salary of 550,000 in modern times.
What she took out today is equivalent to 150 million yuan in modern times.
Of course, Ji Yunxi has more assets under her name than just this.
These are just the cash she can take out in the past two days, and some of it cannot be converted into cash for the time being.
But it's enough.
Ji Yunxi specifically learned that Dechang Casino offered several ways of betting on the results of the Spring Examination.
If you only bet on one person to be one of the top picks, if he is a popular candidate like Ji Mingshuang, the odds can only be 2:1. That is, if you bet 10 taels, if your bet wins, the casino will give you 20 taels.
The more unlikely it is, the greater the ratio will be.
For those who no one cares about, like Wu Weian, the odds are all 10:1.
In other words, if Wu Weian can finally win the first place, Ji Yunxi will be able to bring back 1.5 billion.
The owner of the shop breathed a little heavier. He had been working for the Feng family for so many years, but he had never seen anyone dare to spend money like this.
Of course, the most important thing is that no one can easily come up with so much money!
But the money was too much, so the owner was hesitant to agree. He bowed to Ji Yunxi and said, "Third Miss, I dare not make the decision on this matter. Please allow me to report to the master."
Ji Yunxi hummed: "Go ahead."
The abbot had Ji Yunxi and Ji Mingyan welcomed in, treated them well, and then drove to the Feng family.
It just so happened that the head of the Feng family, the Censor, had just returned home.
Hearing the servant's report, he and his son exchanged a glance, their eyes gleaming: "Let her take custody!"
Not long after the incident, Wu Weian also found out.
The round-faced steward reported everything in detail: "The Dechang gambling house counted the money all afternoon."
Wu Wei'an lowered his eyes and asked after a while, "How much did you say she bet?"
The round-faced steward repeated, "Fifty thousand taels of gold, one hundred thousand taels of silver."
Wu Weian said "oh" lightly and waved his hand to let the round-faced manager go away.
As soon as the round-faced steward left, he went to his brother's study and brought back a stack of books.
