For Su Ruojin, learning this stuff was just out of curiosity and fun; she never thought about making money through gambling dens, nor did she need to.
As for why her third master knew these things, Su Ruojin never asked.
I never expected that what my third master taught me would come in handy today.
About half an hour later, Xiaoling came to the door and called out softly, "Shopkeeper."
Jin Niangzi's eyes lit up, and she stood up somewhat apologetically, "Miss Su, please sit for a moment, I'll be right back after I take care of something."
"Please go ahead, Manager Jin." Su Ruojin didn't stop her and exchanged a glance with Yan Luo.
The person they were waiting for arrived.
Sure enough, a short while later, Lady Jin walked into the house.
"Miss Su, our master would like to see you. Is that convenient?"
The identity of the owner behind the reckless gambling den remains a mystery.
Some people guess that Jin Niangzi is the owner, but she is just a woman running such a big gambling den. To cover up the truth, she deliberately said that there was another owner.
Some people guessed that it belonged to the Zhao family, while others guessed that it belonged to officials in the imperial court who dared not publicize it.
But Su Ruojin knew who the real owner behind the Siyi Gambling House was.
She came here today for the sake of the company behind her.
"That's convenient."
Following Manager Jin to another room on the fourth floor, Su Ruojin saw a man in a light blue brocade robe standing with his back to her.
Perhaps hearing the voice, the man turned around. He was quite handsome, around twenty years old, with an elegant demeanor and a hint of the noble air of someone in a high position.
"Miss Su has arrived, please have a seat."
Su Ruojin did not refuse and sat down directly. "I wonder what brings you here, young master? Is it because your esteemed establishment cannot produce the million taels of silver?"
The man then sat down, poured Su Ruojin a cup of tea, and said with a faint smile, "Running a casino is all about trust. Since you were able to win a million taels of silver at the Siyi Gambling House through your own skill, you should acknowledge it. Someone come here."
A guard-like man came over carrying a small box, which was full of silver notes when he opened it.
"This is a one million tael silver note. Please check it, Miss Su."
Su Ruojin waved her hand, and Yan Luo stepped forward to accept the box.
"No need. As expected of Yunqi's number one gambling den, the owner truly keeps his word."
“Miss Su’s skills are superb and admirable. I wonder if you would be interested in cooperating with me? I can split the profits of the gambling den fifty-fifty with you.” The man poured Su Ruojin a cup of tea and said without changing his expression.
Lady Jin's expression changed drastically; she never expected her master to offer such a condition right off the bat.
Half of the profits from the gambling den is worth millions of taels of silver, and the master just gave it away without batting an eye.
Based on Jin Niangzi's understanding of her master, he would never do anything that would be a loss.
Since the master is willing to do this, it can only mean that Su Ruojin is no ordinary person and is worth spending so much to win her over.
Who exactly is this Miss Su?
Su Ruojin laughed, "Young master, we have never met before, and you present such a generous gift upon our first meeting. Aren't you afraid of misjudging me?"
"I trust my judgment. Miss Su is worthy. If Miss Su is willing to cooperate with me, let alone half, what if I give you the entire Siyi Gambling House?" The man smiled at Su Ruojin, his eyes gleaming with determination.
"Just because I can identify dice by their sound?"
"There aren't many people in the world who can identify dice by sound, but I believe you're not the only one, Miss Su. The only one I value is you, Miss Su." The man looked at Su Ruojin like this, but there was not a trace of lust in his eyes.
Lady Jin gave Su Ruojin a strange look. Had her master taken a liking to this young girl?
The girl is indeed pretty, but the master is never short of beautiful women.
As a master, he could have any woman he wanted; why go to such lengths?
But Su Ruojin's words the next second shocked Jin Niangzi once again.
