With the windows and doors closed, there was constant noise all around, shouting, banging on the table, and swearing in the gambling house where there were many people.

Jiang Hao was already sweating profusely as he stood in front of the gambling table, looking at the table where he could bet big or small. He held the silver in his hand, and his legs seemed to be fixed to the ground, unable to move no matter what he said.

"Press it, quick."

"Hurry, hurry, hurry up."

Hearing the urging voices from all around, Jiang Hao put the silver on the big side.

"Open, open, open, open quickly."

“One, one, two, little one, hahahahahahaha.”

Jiang Hao wiped his sweat again. He had already lost over a thousand taels today. Oh no, it should be over ten thousand taels.

When I went out in the morning, I was scolded and pinched by my mother. It was all because of Jiang Huai. He went to the examination room today, proving that his family's plan did not succeed.

When he made this plan, in order to avoid suspicion on him, he made an agreement with the person from the academy that they would not contact each other until the matter was settled.

Unexpectedly, that loser didn't get the job done, and Jiang Huai still went to take the exam well.

I was in a bad mood, so I went drinking with some friends to relieve my boredom. As we were chatting, we decided to go to the gambling house to have some fun and relax since the brothel was closed.

Jiang Hao's luck today is quite good. He has been winning since he stood in front of the gambling table. No matter how much he bets, he gets a big prize. No matter how much he bets, he gets a small prize.

He only had a few dozen taels of silver in his arms, but after he won a lot, the front of him was full of silver. His friends also won a lot with him. The more they played, the more excited they became, and the stakes became higher and higher.

In a new game, Jiang Hao bet half of his money, intending to make a big profit, but when he was about to leave, he lost.

The silver that was piled up like a small mountain in front of him was suddenly emptied out. My mind was instantly confused and I lost consciousness. After I got high, I couldn't stop.

After that one bet, he dared not bet so high. He won three bets in a row, which made Jiang Hao more convinced that there was absolutely no problem with his luck today and that what happened just now was just an accident.

I placed another big bet, staring at the dice in the middle, and when it opened, I lost.

He lost all the money he won, and all the dozens of taels of capital he invested, but Jiang Hao was unwilling to accept this. He was so lucky today that it was impossible for him to lose. He could definitely win it back as long as he was careful.

Gambling houses all have business of lending money, so he immediately signed an IOU for two hundred taels.

Jiang Hao thought to himself that he would stop when he won 1,000 taels, as he lost all the 200 taels he borrowed.

Several friends advised him not to continue, as it seemed his good luck had run out.

But Jiang Hao, who was already crazy, would not listen at all. He wanted to continue, at least to win back the money he owed and his own capital.

I borrowed another two hundred taels, another two hundred taels, and finally two hundred taels...

Up to now, he had signed seven IOUs from the gambling house, each for two hundred taels.

He once again placed all his bets high, but when the result came out to be small, Jiang Hao got so angry that his eyes went dark and he passed out.

Everyone hurriedly carried Jiang Hao upstairs, and the dealer who was shaking the dice was also replaced.

"Hey, wait a moment, sir."

Looking back, it was the owner of the gambling house. The owner bowed and said with a flattering smile, "Sir, can I have a word with you?"

The two of them also went up to the second floor. The boss poured a cup of tea and brought it to the dealer, "Sir, would you consider coming to my gambling house? I will charge you whatever you want.

As for your skills, there is no one else like you in the whole imperial city. I have been running a gambling house all my life and I have never seen such a person."

"Thank you very much for today, boss. However, this is not my main business. I will not take any money from today's earnings. Please keep your promise, boss."

"Hey, sir, please stay a while. Sir, the wages are negotiable. I will give you a bonus of 30%. What do you think? We can still talk about it. Just put forward the conditions if you have any..." The gambling house owner wanted to worship this young man.

Isn’t this the God of Wealth? He also saw it today. The dice was in his hand and was as obedient as a grandson. Whatever number he asked it to be, it was what it was.

"Boss, please don't stay. Maybe one day, I will come to see you."

After saying that, he opened the window, and without waiting for the gambling house owner to try to persuade him to stay, he simply jumped out of the window and disappeared into the night.

The gambling house owner was startled and when he leaned over to the window, the figure was no longer visible.

Helpless, he could only close the window, take out the seven signed IOUs from his arms, and chuckled. In any case, he earned more than a thousand taels in a day. Of course, it was more than a thousand taels, which was also a windfall.

Think about this morning, when this young man appeared on the second floor and told him about the deal, he didn't take it seriously. Fortunately, he didn't refuse it outright.

The owner of a gambling house who has run it for a lifetime knows that nine out of ten times you will lose, but the gambler mentality in his bones is something he can never get rid of, so he gambled, and fortunately, he won.

She chose a side alley with few people, and while walking, she unbuttoned her grey coarse cloth clothes, revealing the satin skirt underneath. She took off the hat on her head, letting her hair fall down, and took out two hairpins from her bosom and casually inserted them on her head.

She wiped her face with a wet handkerchief, took out a lipstick paper, and pursed her lips casually. The person who entered the alley was a servant in coarse cloth clothes, and the person who came out of the alley was a beautiful lady without makeup.

Jiang Yuan was in a good mood. He originally thought that he would have to wait in a messy and smelly place like a gambling house for a few days, but he didn't expect to meet Jiang Hao on the first day.

Jiang Hao is relatively easy to calculate. His hobbies include gambling houses, brothels, and restaurants. He goes to the gambling house every three or two days. At night, he is either in the brothel or in various restaurants, listening to music and watching dancing.

Therefore, the gambling house became Jiang Yuan's first choice. Thinking that Jiang Huai would pass the exam smoothly, he must be very unhappy. During the three days of the exam, he would definitely catch him in the gambling house one day.

He really doesn't disappoint me. He is a good man, a very good man.

Jiang Yuan was in a very good mood. When passing by Tianxianglou, he packed up a few dishes and ordered two jars of wine so that he could have a drink when he returned.

Qu Ying didn't see Jiang Yuan the whole day. She said she had something important to do, but she didn't say what it was.

Fu Yun went to Jiang's house three times a day. Zhishu said that Jiang Yuan had gone out and had not returned since, without even a maid.

Qu Ying could not sit still any longer, so he harnessed the carriage and went to Jiang's house. When he got off the carriage at the gate, he just saw Jiang Yuan, humming a little tune and taking 2.58 million steps, turning from the corner of the street.

"A Yuan." After shouting, Jiang Yuan noticed Qu Ying standing on the carriage and trotted towards her.

"How did you come?"

"I was worried about you, so I came to check on you. Where did you go all day? You didn't even bring anyone with you."

Three more waiters came out from the corner of the street, two of them were carrying food boxes and one was carrying two jars of wine.

Jiang Yuan put his arm around Qu Ying's shoulders and said, "You're just in time. Come on, have a drink with me."

"Fuyun, go call those four over. I bought some delicious food."

Fu Yun watched the waiter from Tianxianglou enter Jiang's house and happily agreed, "I am in for a treat today."
