Chapter 674: The Casino
"Would you two like to have some fun? If I lose, it's mine, if I win, it's yours." Zhao Qifeng looked at the two of them and said with a smile.
"Really? Then lend me some capital first." Chu Xia looked excited. He hadn't played such an exciting game for a long time. Since he was not afraid of losing, he could earn some travel expenses if he won. Zhao Qifeng didn't lack such money.
Zhao Qifeng greeted the people next to him, and soon someone brought a bag of gold ingots.
What Chu Xia carried in his hand was at least a thousand taels, right?
"Are you all betting cash on the gambling table?" Chu Xia asked in confusion. She looked at the gambling tables around her and saw that they were all piled with yellow and white things, which were very dazzling.
"You can also put jade pendants, swords and the like. As long as the money is calculated, you can put them on the table for gambling."
Chu Xia knew that he would be wrong, and patiently explained: "I didn't mean that. I meant that it would be too troublesome and unsafe to put the money directly. It's better to change it to weights. In the end, no matter whether you win or lose, just use the weights again." Isn’t it much more convenient to exchange money?” Nowadays, casinos are all like this, who would throw money at the gambling table?
His shrewd eyes lit up and he praised how wonderful it was. Why didn't he think of it? This method is feasible and will be implemented tomorrow.
Jing Yuan disapproved of her gambling, it was not a good habit.
Chu Xia was almost bored to death by him. He wasn't allowed to go to the brothel and he wasn't allowed to gamble. What was she doing out there? It was too boring.
He had no choice but to beg the young man and said with a bitter look on his face: "Jun Bao, can you just let me play a game? I promise not to play big, just to earn some travel expenses for us in the future. Do you have the heart to let me starve with you in the future?"
The young man's eyes darkened, and he felt guilty in his heart.
Seeing that he seemed to agree, Chu Xia was very happy, but then she heard the young man suddenly say, "If you want to bet, bet big."
The woman looked stunned. Big one? How old is it? You don’t know how to gamble your life, do you? It’s better not to play.
Zhao Qifeng became interested and looked at the young man with a smile, "What do you want to bet on, young master?"
Unexpectedly, the young man's words made everyone stunned, "Bet on your casino!"
Chu Xia tugged on the boy's sleeve, "You brat, please don't be so loud, okay? Are you here to have fun? Or are you here to cause trouble?"
"What kind of gambling method?" Zhao Qifeng didn't think the boy was joking, which also aroused his interest.
The young man looked provocatively at the man who was a head taller than him, and spoke righteously: "If I lose, you can ask me to do anything for you, as long as it does not violate morality; if you lose, this casino will belong to us. Okay, how's it going?"
The woman glared at him fiercely, "You're crazy. If you were asked to hand over the jade seal, would you do it too?"
It's a pity that a certain young man simply ignored her warning, raised his chin arrogantly, and looked at the mature man in front of him.
"Okay, it's a deal!" Zhao Qifeng readily agreed. For him, being able to make a bet with this young man in his lifetime is considered a blessing. Moreover, this is not only their first time, but also likely to happen again. This is the last time, winning or losing is not important, what is important is the process.
Chu Xia really wanted him to think again, but the two of them were already sitting at the gambling table.
This is a VIP suite. Except for a few trusted people, no one else can get close to it. The night pearl illuminates the room as bright as day, and it is surrounded by closed facilities, so there is no need to worry about being disturbed.
The girl sitting in the middle felt a little nervous, but when she saw the confidence in the boy's eyes, her tense heart slowly relaxed for some reason. This teenage boy actually gave people a sense of peace of mind.
Seeing how confident he is, she should believe him, right? Because he is Jing Yuan.
For the first time, Chu Xia chose to believe in this child without any reason, and believed in his courage and means.
Their gambling game is very simple, they just roll the dice and determine the outcome based on the size.
Each person takes a color tube and shakes it in his hand.
Everyone around them had relaxed smiles on their faces. They believed that their boss would definitely win. With the boss’s ability, how could he lose to a child? This ugly child must have been kicked in the head by a donkey.
Only then did they dare to speak out and provoke their boss without any shame.
Chu Xia looked around, one big and one small, both of them were full of confidence.
Since you can’t see clearly, why don’t you just wait and see what happens?
The dice shook faster and faster, and it became a mess inside. Everything around him stopped, and the only sound left was the sound of the dice shaking.
Bang, bang, the color tube fell on the table at the same time, attracting all the attention.
The girl's heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate, and her eyes wanted to see two holes in the color tube. Although she was confident, she still couldn't help but feel nervous when the result was not revealed.
"Young Master, is it too late to regret now?" Zhao Qifeng asked with a gentle smile.
The young man had a calm face, and his deep phoenix eyes shone with confidence, "As long as Boss Zhao doesn't regret it, that's fine."
"Haha..." Zhao Qifeng laughed heartily and said decisively: "Okay, then I'll drive first!"
All eyes were fixed on Zhao Qifeng's hand. He gently took away the color tube, and everyone gasped. Chu Xia's heart also skipped a beat, how could this happen?
It turned out to be three sixes. This is already the largest one. There can't be anything bigger than a leopard's head. This is really tragic.
Looking back at the young man, I saw that his expression remained the same, showing no signs of happiness or sadness. He slowly raised his wrists, everyone's eyes widened, and this time they even forgot to take a breath.
Only then did Chu Xia see clearly that there were four dice under the cylinder, three sixes and one one, because one of the dice cracked from the middle.
Then Jing Yuan's points would be one more than Zhao Qifeng's. Chu Xia shouted excitedly, "Long live Jun Bao, long live Jun Bao!"
This "Long Live" is not something that can be shouted casually. Fortunately, the people here are Zhao Qifeng's confidants, and the two people sitting at the gambling table took her shouting as a kind of affirmation and did not feel it was inappropriate.
"Boss, this doesn't count. He broke the dice." A casino steward walked up to the boss unconvinced and remonstrated.
"Huh, what do you mean it doesn't count? You can't say it for sure, and there is something wrong with the quality of your dice. Even God is helping us." Chu Xia was even more unconvinced and confronted the manager directly. Anyway, they won.
Yes, no one is allowed to default on their debt.
The steward wanted to argue, but was stopped by Zhao Qifeng's gesture.
He stood up and said solemnly: "Zhao is willing to admit defeat. From now on, this auspicious gambling house will belong to this young man."
Jing Yuan said calmly, "No, it belongs to this girl. She will be the boss here from now on."
It was now Chu Xia's turn to gasp and look at the young man in disbelief, because the wealth came so fast that she was a little overwhelmed.
"...Jun Bao, are you telling the truth? Do you really want to give this gambling house to me?"
"Of course. I said I would give you a treasury in the future, but this is just a drop in the bucket." Seeing the smile on the woman's face, the young man was also very happy. He could finally do something for her, even though it was insignificant.
Chu Xia felt like she was hit on the head by a gold ingot when she went out. This gambling shop is so big, these night pearls alone are worth a lot of money, right? Zhao Qifeng was really willing to lose to Jun Bao, but Jun Bao actually gave it to him without any reservation.
Got her.
She was so happy that she couldn't express it. She didn't say anything, so she had to express it through actions!
He walked forward and hugged the young man, and kissed his dark little face several times excitedly, "Jun Bao, you are amazing, I love you to death."
Bah chi, bah chi...
She was so excited. She didn't expect that in ancient times, besides being hunted down and suffering from cold and starvation, she finally made her first pot of gold today. She would be rich in the future and would no longer be afraid of starving to death here.
By the way, Lucky Gambling House is too tacky. She wants to change her name. What name can represent her characteristics?
A certain girl was immersed in happiness, her mind was full of golden ingots, but she didn't notice that the boy beside her was frozen because of her actions just now.
What did she just say? She said that he loved him, and she even kissed him. The young man felt that his heartbeat had never been so fast. Even during the gambling game just now, he was not nervous at all. But when she hugged him and kissed him just now, he felt that
Everyone is on fire.
Fortunately, his face is darker today and others can't see it, otherwise it would definitely be a bit redder than the sunset.
Even so, the young man couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He didn't know whether he was happy or shy. Couldn't this damn woman go home and kiss her again? She was not ashamed in front of so many people.
After the New Year, Jing Yuan was already eleven years old. Ever since his mother agreed to their marriage, he regarded this woman as his fiancée, his woman.
After getting along bit by bit during this period of time, the young man's heart matured prematurely, and he also became ignorant about the things between men and women.
He didn't know if this was the kind of love his father had for his mother. He just knew that he liked to be with her, to see her smile, watch her dance, listen to her sing, and be held in his warm arms...
All of this made him nostalgic. He only knew that he was willing to be with her like this for the rest of his life. Even if she got older and ugly, he was still willing to keep her. After returning from the casino, everyone was hungry, so they went together
I went to a restaurant owned by the Zhao family.
This restaurant is located in the city center, extending in all directions and divided into three floors. If considered in modern times, it would be considered a five-star restaurant.
The shopkeeper respectfully took them to the exclusive suite on the third floor. This room was grand and elegant. The location near the window overlooked the entire street, which gave a broad view.
A woman playing the piano could be vaguely seen behind the beaded curtain in the pavilion, and the elegant and melodious sound came over, adding a lot of emotion to the environment.
Zhao Qifeng is really a smart man. He not only knows how to make money, but also knows how to enjoy himself and not be a slave to money.
No wonder he didn't feel bad about losing a gambling house. It turned out that he had such a big family fortune, so naturally he wouldn't care about a small amount of money. He could also be a favor and please the prince, so why not do it?
