“There’s no point, I’ll go to another gambling house.”
It’s not that he won’t gamble, it’s that he’ll go to another gambling house to check it out. All the more reason not to let a big fish like that go.
“If the young master thinks the ground floor is not good, he can still go to the first floor, which is full of big customers, who gamble big and all bring more silver.”
Xiao Si plucked the broken silver from the gambling table and pocketed it on his sash, turning to squeeze Huang Si out of the way, “Young master, we can’t gamble any more, we’ve managed to win these back, we can’t lose them back again, otherwise we won’t have money to buy good food today.”
“Buying food is not as fun as gambling, look, money spent on food is money spent, but gambling is different, just now you lost, later you will win back, maybe you will win more.” Huang Si blocked in front of the two men and wouldn’t let them go, trying his best to persuade them.
“Our young master doesn’t care about this kind of money, he just wants to be happy.”
That’s all the more reason not to let them go!
The steward came over, “Sir, since you’re here, what a pity not to go to the first floor to have a look, I promise, once you go up there, you definitely won’t regret it.”
Gu Yi was moved, “Go and have a look.”
“Young master ……”
The “youngest” wanted to persuade the words did not dare to say.
Gu Yi went with the housekeeper to the first floor, and “Xiao Si” followed behind.
After walking a few steps, Gu Yi suddenly stopped and pointed at Huang Si and said to the housekeeper, “I think he is not bad, let him come up and serve me.”
Huang Si was overjoyed, but he did not dare to move.
There were rules in the gambling house, those on the ground floor could only be on the ground floor and could not easily go up to the first floor, otherwise they would be thrown out.
The steward gave him a look, “Serve well.”
Huang Si happily replied and followed.
The first floor was indeed different from the first, there were not many people at each table, tea and pastries in front of them, people waiting around them, and there were many ways to play.
“What does your son want to play? Or do you want to try them all?”
“It’s better to bet on the size, I don’t believe it, I can still lose every time.”
The steward led them to a table where there were already two people at the table, both with a number of silver ingots in front of them.
Huang Si diligently moved a chair for Gu Yi to sit down. The person waiting at this side of the table saw it and was a little upset, but he didn’t dare to get angry in front of the steward.
When Gu Yi sat down, the dealer had already shaken the dice and Gu Yi thought nothing of it and grabbed a handful of silver from the lapel of “Xiao Si” and bet directly on the small.
The other two, ……
The other two people took a look at him and saw that he was just a teenager, knowing that he was just another one who had come to play with his family’s silver, so they didn’t take it seriously.
This is a natural loss.
“You do it.”
Gu Yi said “Xiao Si”.
“Little Four” waited for the dealer to finish shaking, dropped the dice cup and put all the silver on his lapel on “Little”.
The crowd, ……
The other two laughed and shook their heads, both betting on big.
The dice cup opens to small.
Gu Yi was happy, “OK, I didn’t expect you to have these two tricks, come on, come on, you win all their silver, young master I will share half of it with you.”
Banker,……
The other two. ……
The faces darkened at a rate visible to the naked eye. If not for the fact that the two were still young and spoke without thinking, they would have had their own boys hold them down and beat them up.
“Yeah, yeah.”
“Little Four” was so seduced that he not only forgot to advise Gu Yi, but also became addicted to playing himself, winning several hands in a row, and the silver ingots in front of him were almost piled up into a mountain.
The faces of the two men next to him turned green.
No matter how he shook the dice, Xiao Si could always hear the number of points accurately.
But he looked like he was only eight or nine years old, so there was no way he could be cheating.
“Little Four”, he said, “They all say that the dealer in the gambling house is very powerful, but it’s just like that.”
The dealer couldn’t help himself and put the dice cup on the table with a bang, “What did you say, kid?”
The bookmakers in the gambling house were also divided into three, six and nine grades, the ones on the ground floor were the worst and the ones on the first floor were the ones with high skill.
Ever since he had been invited to this gambling house, no one had ever dared to say that about him.
“I’d say you’re no better than that.”
Having won the silver, “Little Four” even had the strength to say that he was not afraid at all, and as he spoke, he even forgot to pull all the silver ingots into his bag.
Gu Yi watched with a smile on his face, not taking the dealer into account in the slightest.
When had the banker ever been so humiliated, “Kid, dare you bet with me in a single game?”
“Bet on what?”
“On the dice shake.”
“Little Four” chirped, “I’m not going to bet with you, you’re bullying children.”
The dealer, ……
The fire inside his head was so angry that his reason was gone, “Then what do you want to bet on?”
“Guess the points, let someone else shake and we’ll guess, the payout is one to ten, one for me and ten for you.”
“Good.”
The dealer was full of it, it was a piece of cake for him.
“Little Four” all the silver ingots were poured out again, and he took out all the silver tickets he had, thinking that it was not enough, “Young Master, take off your jade pendant.”
Gu Yi did not hesitate to put it on the gambling table.
“Little Four” took it up and showed it to the steward and the dealer, “Our young master bought this jade pendant for tens of thousands of taels of silver, now it’s worth 5,000 taels, do you think it’s okay?”
“Yes.”
The steward’s voice was deep, he could see that this jade pendant was worth a lot of money.
“We have a total of eight thousand six hundred and eighty taels of silver for these, if he loses, pay us eighty-six thousand eight hundred taels, if we lose, these are all yours.”
“Not bad.”
“Well then, let’s bet.”
The steward was about to beckon another dealer over when Gu Yi spoke out, “Hold on!”
The crowd all looked at him.
Gu Yi leaned back lazily in his chair, looking unconcerned about winning or losing, “My father has said that words are no proof, so we must establish words as proof.”
“That won’t be necessary, our gambling house never does anything to renege on a debt.”
Gu Yi wiggled one finger, “No, I can’t trust you guys, it’s better to make a written record.”
The steward couldn’t, and looked up towards a room where someone coughed.
The steward’s withdrew his gaze.
“Yes.”
Huang Si lurched off to fetch a pen and paper and placed it on the table attentively, and the steward wrote it down on the spot, with each side putting down their handprints.
The gamblers on the first floor all gathered around to look.
Even the bankers couldn’t resist.
Both sides each put their notes away.
One dealer automatically stepped behind the table, “I’ll do it.”
The previous dealer took two steps back to the side and sat down in his chair.
Only when he noticed the stares of the people in the gambling hall did he realise what he had done, and a cold sweat broke out on his head.
“Let’s begin.”
The previous dealer urged.
The dealer’s three dice were loaded into the dice cup and used all his tricks to shake countless tricks before placing them on the table after a full half incense stick.
