As rumors in the capital spread more and more wildly, the Qiao family seemed unaffected.
After handing over all the household chores to her eldest daughter-in-law, Qiao Xin went shopping with Nanny Qin in a good mood.
Nanny Qin, who had been well-behaved for most of her life, was walking and eating on the street with her master for the first time without any scruples. She bought any new and rare food she saw to try, and touched and looked at any pretty little gadgets.
When Nanny Qin saw the fried meatballs that Qiao Xin handed over again, she said with a painful look on her face, "Madam, I really can't eat any more. I'm too full today!"
"Who was it that swore to me when he left home that he would eat from the street to the end, and he hasn't even walked half the way yet?"
Nanny Qin smiled and said, "I am old and can no longer do things. It is rare to have a leisurely day, so I will go for a stroll with the old lady!"
Qiao Xin handed her a hawthorn pill with a smile, and the rest of the food was eaten by Zhang Jun and others.
After coming out of the fish warehouse, Qiao Xin rubbed her fingers and said to everyone, "Let's not eat anymore, let's go and see what's going on!"
Qiao Xin took Nanny Qin to change clothes, removed her hairpins and rings, and dressed like a man. The guards also changed their clothes, changed their makeup and clothes, put away their swords, picked up paper fans, and acted like rich young men!
Walking on the busy street, Nanny Qin couldn't help but ask, "Madam, where are we going?"
Qiao Xin turned around and said, "Catch those two naughty kids!"
Nanny Qin looked around at the restaurants and shops on both sides, and finally watched Qiao Xin walk straight to the Jixiang Casino without stopping for a moment.
What's going on here?
The entrance of the gambling house was bustling with people coming and going. Some people walked into the casino confidently, confident of winning.
Some people were dressed simply, looked nervous, and held a few copper coins tightly in their hands. They were muttering to themselves like crazy, as if they were hesitating whether to go in and take a try.
This is a place where all kinds of life are reflected. Some people win, some people lose. Some people seek excitement, some people lose everything, but no matter whether you win or lose, you must be responsible for your actions.
But Nanny Qin never thought that she would have the chance to set foot in this place in her lifetime!
Her tongue was tied, and it took her a long time to utter a word: "Old... Old Madam, have we come to the wrong place?"
Qiao Xin laughed and said, "That's right. When you get in, remember to call me the boss, not the old lady. Zhang Jun and the others have already gone in. Just follow me. I'll take you to broaden your horizons!"
Nanny Qin watched helplessly as Qiao Xin showed the other party some kind of cards, but the other party let them in without even checking.
It's unbelievably easy!
She followed Qiao Xin closely and went straight to Room No. 1A.
The servant who led the way brought them to the place and then left.
Nanny Qin's palms were sweating from nervousness, but when she saw Qiao Xin taking a walk like she was in her own home, she felt inexplicably relieved!
Room A was luxuriously decorated and was obviously a place to receive distinguished guests. It was already filled with many well-dressed players.
It’s just that it’s not as crowded here as downstairs, and everyone plays in a more civilized manner, but they are also the most generous, and there are quite a few rich and powerful young men.
Someone came forward and said hello: "How would you two like to play?"
"I'm looking for them!"
The man looked in the direction where her finger pointed and immediately smiled knowingly, it turned out that she was going to deliver money to someone.
Those two young masters are their distinguished guests today. They have already lost a hundred taels in just a short while. Are they going crazy now?
Xu Can and Qiao Erlang were like pancakes on a frying pan, trying to find a way to get out of this situation, but they had no other options. When they were anxious, a familiar voice came to their ears.
The two turned their heads and were shocked to see Qiao Xin staring at them with a smile on her face!
I’m going to die, why is his grandma here?
Qiao Xin walked over and glanced at the gambling table with a calm posture and a peaceful expression, as if she was a regular here.
"Such a fun place, why didn't you bring me here earlier to broaden my horizons? How is it? How much did you lose? Is the money enough?"
Qiao Erlang lowered his head, not daring to look at Qiao Xin's expression.
"Each of them lost fifty taels, and they wouldn't let us go, so we sent someone to notify Manager Liang to pick us up. Why are you here?"
Qiao Xin looked at him with a half-smile, then sat back down where they were before and said nonchalantly, "What do you think?"
"Does this distinguished guest want to play a few tricks?"
Qiao Xin said coldly, "If I'm not playing, why would I sit here? I don't play small games. I want to win or lose in one go. I don't know if you dare to do that?"
The general was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood and felt happy, thinking that he could slaughter another fat sheep today.
He then pretended to be kind and advised: "There is nothing that cannot be served in this brothel!"
Nanny Qin quickly got into the role and reminded Qiao Xin anxiously, "Master, you just collected the money and haven't put it into the public treasury yet. You promised to come here to return the two hundred taels for the young master and leave. Don't act on impulse!"
"I have my own plans, and I will bear all the consequences alone!"
Aunt Qin: Uh...
The old lady is addicted to playing, what else can she say?
Everyone saw Nanny Qin taking out a gold ingot and a deed from her sleeve pocket with a look of pain on her face.
Qiao Xin snatched it away, without even looking at it, and slammed it on the table.
Don’t even mention the boldness!
The dealer took it and took a look, and found that it was actually a large house with five courtyards in the east of the city. This alone could be worth several thousand taels!
The other party immediately showed a harmless smile: "What do you want to bet on, sir?"
"Bet on this gambling house! If you can't make the decision, let someone who can make the decision come out and decide the winner."
The other party laughed out of anger after hearing this. He glanced at Qiao Xin with contempt. What kind of place do you think this is?
Many powerful gamblers would have to suffer heavy losses if they came here, but this guy is just like a toad yawning - what a big mouth!
Seeing that the other party was standing there in a daze, Qiao Xin clasped her hands together and gave a perfunctory salute. She was about to pick up the deed that she had just put down, but was held down by someone!
The man was very young and handsome, but he had not seen the sun for many years, and his sharp face had a sickly cold look.
At this time, he pointed out her identity in one sentence: "I am Liu Heng, the owner of this shop. If Madam Qiao wants to gamble, how can we not accompany her?"
Qiao Xin was not surprised that her identity was discovered. Instead, she responded to him in a good-tempered manner.
"I don't like nagging. Let's decide the winner in one round. Do you dare?"
"This little thing is not worthy of your status. I have three new mansions with five entrances..."
"Ten shops in Yumancang Commercial Street!" Qiao Xin took out the chips eagerly, as if she was afraid that the other party would go back on his word!
Qiao Erlang, Xu Can and others were stunned.
"make a deal!"
