I was a prince in ancient times

Hearing Xie Anlan's words, Xie Huarong's cheeks were slightly red, especially in front of many acquaintances, he argued, "What did my cousin say? How could my younger brother not want it? It's just that my younger brother didn't bring enough money when he went out today. Definitely remember the day."

Xie Huarong's smile was a bit stagnant. Who knows what kind of wind Xie Anlan has had today, and he opened his mouth to pay 1 taels. If he has so much money, why would he come to the casino to try his luck? As for the other day he said, tomorrow will be another day , the day after tomorrow is another day.

Xie Anlan stopped talking, just looked at Xie Huarong and smiled. There was more meaning in Xie Huarong's eyes that Xie Huarong couldn't see through. On a very conspicuous copper coin on the table.

"In this way, I have spoiled my cousin's interest today, why don't I play a few games with my cousin, my cousin will use copper coins and I will use silver coins, if I lose, it will be mine, and if I win, it will be my cousin's, how about it?"

Xie Anlan had no objection, he came to this gambling shop to win money, and just betting a penny just now was just to test the waters, who would have drawn such a fat sheep.

It's just a penny-for-penny bet, and I don't know when I can win enough for Xie Mingyi's 300 taels of arrears.

Xie Anlan thought for a while and said with a smile, "My cousin is willing to accompany me, so my cousin is very happy. It's just that gambling like this is nothing new. Why don't we play a new game?"

Seeing that Xie Anlan didn't mention the 1 taels, Xie Huarong couldn't wish for it, "Please tell me, cousin."

"As an elder brother, I won't take advantage of you. You and I share coins to bet, but if I win a game, you will double the bet, how about it?"

Xie Huarong thought that Xie Anlan had changed his sex today, but he didn't expect that he was still as good-faced as before. He didn't even want to give him money just now, and he insisted on betting with copper coins. At dawn tomorrow, I can't win two taels of silver from myself.

Thinking of this, Xie Huarong responded heroically, "Okay, just as my cousin said."

The aristocrats who were watching the battle were very excited when they saw the bet between the two, but they lost their interest when they heard that the bet was only a mere penny. For those who are happy to gamble, three or two companions go together to play money.

Not long after, Xie Huarong's servants moved two cleaned chairs for the two with great insight.

Xie Anlan and Xie Huarong fought against each other. The croupier in the gambling house rolled the dice, and the two compared each other.

After gambling for a few rounds, Xie Anlan deeply realized how bad her gambling luck was. She lost dozens of rounds in a row without winning a single one.

If this continues, he seriously doubts whether he can kill Xie Huarong before the money is lost.

Seeing Xie Anlan's complexion getting worse and worse, Xie Huarong who was on the opposite side couldn't help but feel secretly happy. This is why he likes to gamble with this cousin. It is really because his cousin's gambling luck is too bad. Nine losses, it is difficult not to win his money.

Even if it was a penny-for-penny bet, after winning dozens of rounds in a row, Xie Huarong's gambling addiction was completely hooked, and he had long forgotten that Xie Anlan was just for fun.

About a hundred coins after losing, Xie Anlan finally won once!

Xie Huarong was stunned, and immediately ordered the servant to pay the two cents without hesitation, and said with a sense of gambling, "Come again!"

Xie Anlan pursed her lips, said nothing, and threw a penny on the gaming table, expressing her intentions with practical actions.

Probably when he lost about [-] Wen and won money, Xie Anlan gradually figured out the pattern.

The winning or losing rate of a normal person is about 50.00%, but his winning rate is only [-]% or [-]%.

Xie Anlan was very curious about how the original owner became addicted to this unlucky gambling luck.

The two gambled against each other from dawn to dusk, and Xie Anlan just won the nineteenth round of Xie Huarong's game.

And Xie Huarong's side had changed from a small boy giving money to two or three bookkeepers in gambling houses who kept counting money with an abacus.

The surrounding area of ​​the table was gradually filled with spectators. Originally, they thought that winning a penny bet was nothing to look at, but now they realized that they were completely wrong. Today they have opened their eyes. Play!

Xie Huarong, who had been red-eyed from gambling for a long time, didn't pay attention to himself at all. He just looked at the higher and higher coins on the gambling table and wondered when he could win all the money in Xie Anlan's hand.

Just when Xie Anlan won the No.20 game, Xie Huarong impatiently ordered the boy, "Give me the money!"

"Master, no, no, no, no money!" The servant looked at Xie Huarong wanting to cry, but without tears.

The total output of the nineteen rounds lost by the young master was 48 taels, 570 four coins. With such a large amount of money, he dared not make decisions for the young master anymore.

"What!" Xie Huarong looked at his servant as if he heard a big joke, Xie Anlan didn't win a few rounds, how could he lose all his money.

"Master, here is the bill for you to look over." The young man also knew his master's temperament, so just now when he realized that the amount of money was constantly increasing, he asked the cashier of the gambling house to help him make a list.

Xie Huarong snatched the bill from the boy's hand and looked at it. It was normal before, but from the tenth game Xie Anlan won, the situation began to reverse. After that, every time Xie Anlan won a game, his money was in the The reduction was doubled, and in the last game, the output went up to more than 500 taels!

With such a calculation, wouldn't he have output more than 1000 taels in this round!

The strange thing is that he didn't take copper coins seriously. He didn't expect that even if a penny multiplied, it would be very terrifying. If the servant hadn't reminded him in time, it would be easy to go bankrupt!

Xie Huarong rolled his eyes at Xie Anlan with a livid face, the hands holding the bill were faintly veined, and his chest was furious, "You lied to me!"

Xie Anlan was playing with the two silver ingots in her hand at the moment, and shrugged innocently at Xie Huarong, "Why did my cousin say that?"

Facing Xie Anlan's innocent eyes, Xie Huarong gritted his teeth resentfully, glared fiercely at his servant, and vented angrily, "Why didn't you remind me earlier!"

"Master, I reminded you, you said you don't need to report this small amount of money to you." The boy also felt aggrieved, he was scolded when he reminded him just now, and now he blames him for not reminding...

"You still dare to talk back!" Xie Huarong glared angrily, and the servant immediately lowered his head, not daring to speak any more, and quietly hid aside.

Xie Huarong no longer had the pleasure of winning money at this moment, only deep regret, regretting why he was complacent after winning a small amount of money, and ended up losing more than 2000 taels all at once.

"Cousin, are you okay? You don't often say that the daughter will come back after leaving, so you won't become angry because of this little money."

Xie Anlan suppressed her laughter, and sent out what Xie Huarong said to him when the original owner lost money.

"It's not enough." Xie Huarong's heart was bleeding, 2000 taels of silver, this is the tax of his Hejian County for two or three years!

Originally, his county was very barren, and in addition to the years of wars by the imperial court, the people could not rest and recuperate, and a lot of taxes could not be collected. How could it not make him heartbroken to give the taxes for two or three years to the fiefdom all at once.

Heartache is heartache, he is a majestic county king who is not shameless enough to renege on his debts after losing money.

Almost with tears in his eyes, he gave out the two thousand and ninety-seven twenty-five cents he owed Xie Anlan.

And he swears in his heart that he will never want to see copper coins again, because when he sees copper coins, he will think of the stupid things he committed today.

After giving the money, Xie Huarong left the casino with a bad face.

As soon as Xie Huarong left, the gamblers on the second floor screamed in surprise, as if they were cheering for Xie Anlan's victory.

Looking at the back of Xie Huarong leaving angrily, and hearing the applause in the gambling house, Xie Anlan suddenly lost interest. He lost nine times out of ten bets. Who in this gambling house can last forever, but They're all just people who can do it for a while.

In the future, he decided not to get involved in such things that harm others and benefit himself, and not to be dazzled by the momentary victory.

After Xie Anlan sighed, he picked up the banknotes on the table, and a comfortable smile appeared on his face again. Finally, he went from nothing to some money, and it will always get better and better in the future.

"Li Youqian, come here and settle the debt." With the money, Xie Anlan finally felt confident, and even spoke a lot louder.

"Okay." Li Youqian had been holding the account book and looking forward to it, and now he heard Xie Anlan's greeting, and came to the front in a hurry.

The abacus in his hand was rattling, and he calculated the account for Xie Anlan in a short while, "His Royal Highness has paid a total of 700 taels in this store, plus the interest and deducting the odds, it is exactly 90 taels [-] taels."

"How much?" Xie Anlan generously ordered a cup of tea, and before she had a sip, she heard Li Yougan's payment, and spilled half of the tea in her hand in shock.

"One thousand seven hundred and ninety taels." Li Youqian repeated it thoughtfully.

Xie Anlan suddenly felt a heart attack, the money he just got was going to be given away before it warmed up?If he had known this earlier, he would not have settled the debt so generously just now.

But there is absolutely no reason to take back the water that is poured out by the words that are spoken.

Xie Anlan happily gave the money, and Li Yougan's old face turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile, and hurriedly presented Xie Anlan's IOU, "Your Highness can tear up the IOU."

Xie Anlan took the IOU and didn't look at the paper on it carefully, but caught a glimpse of an easily identifiable sycamore flower on the IOU, and tore it up without paying attention.

According to the rules of the Sheng'an gambling house, the winner's opening money and tea money, when Xie Anlan came out of the gambling house, he had 300 taels and fifteen Wen left on him.

It really only takes a second to go from being rich to being poor.

Xie Anlan dragged his heavy and hungry body back to the palace, just in time to see Xie Mingyi who was sitting at the door trembling and waiting for him.

Seeing Xie Anlan's return, Xie Mingyi's eyes lit up, but the next moment he saw Xie Anlan's desolate look, he couldn't help but dim again.

Seeing the child, Xie Anlan, who was dizzy from hunger, couldn't help but smile, patted his head, and took out the remaining 300 taels from his bosom.

Xie Mingyi took advantage of the moonlight to see what was in his hand, and suddenly opened his mouth wide open, shouting excitedly, "Uncle Huang, you did it, you really did it!"

"Well, go home quickly, your parents will be worried about you at this late hour!" Perhaps a child's smile is contagious, Xie Anlan even dispelled a lot of hunger.

Xie Mingyi went back with the banknotes in his mouth, still yelling that the emperor's uncle is really powerful. Xie Anlan finally breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Xie Mingyi would suddenly ask about the one tael of silver in the morning again.

He really has no money...
