Chapter 345
"Exactly, hurry up and open it, what are you hesitating for?"The man named Liu San was also urging. He thought to himself that if they won, this fifty taels of silver would be theirs. Although there seemed to be many people here, only eight had actually placed bets. The first person could at least get more than three taels of silver.
Thinking of this, Liu San became extremely excited.
As for losing?
If they lost, they would only lose one or two copper coins.
She could afford to lose fifty taels, couldn't they afford to lose two copper coins?
Cheng Qingli did not speak, simply tapping her fingers lightly on the table, seemingly waiting for the result to be revealed.
"Miss, are you sure you don't want to change your bet?" The dealer, worried because it was Cheng Qingli's first time here, asked once more.
"Dealer, what are you waiting for? Open it quickly!"
"Exactly, they say a move made is final. You can't show favoritism just because the little lady is pretty."
"Dealer, hurry up and open it, I'm also quite curious." Cheng Qingli felt that this dealer was quite honest, otherwise he wouldn't have reminded her like this.
It seemed that another day, she should go to her brother-in-law, the Emperor, and praise him properly.
Seeing Cheng Qingli like this, the dealer sighed slightly in his heart, hesitated no longer, and prepared to open the dice cup.
"Big!"
"Big! Big! Big!"
"Big! Big!"
The bystanders stared fixedly at the dice cup.
Everyone was praying that it would definitely be big.
Cheng Qingli did not care. After all, if she won, it would be detrimental to hooking Huo Yunzhi.
"Four, five, six, Big!" the dealer shouted, looking at the numbers on the dice in the cup.
"Haha, little girl, this silver is ours now!" Liu San couldn't wait and took away all fifty taels of silver.
The other bettors were extremely excited.
Soon, a servant came and exchanged the fifty taels of silver into smaller pieces to make it easier for everyone to divide.
Huo Yunzhi, who was standing on the side watching, had eyes full of mockery. She thought to herself that it seemed this Miss Cheng was nothing more than this; she had thought she was so formidable.
Thinking of this, Huo Yunzhi recalled how Cheng Qingli had previously said that as long as she could beat her, she would give the Qin Pavilion to her for free, and her heart grew even more excited.
"Again, I don't believe I can't win!" Cheng Qingli pulled out three fifty-tael silver ingots from her bosom with a dissatisfied face.
She put on a posture of not giving up until she won today.
"Miss, a small bet is for pleasure!" The dealer couldn't help but feel a bit anxious seeing Cheng Qingli's posture. The people in this casino were a mixed bag.
This little girl carrying so much silver would inevitably attract jealous eyes.
"I know, again!" Cheng Qingli's attitude of wanting to keep gambling made the people who had just placed bets and those watching on the side rub their hands in eager anticipation.
Just now, they had divided the fifty taels according to their bets. The person who got the most took five taels of silver, and the least took two taels. This was not a small sum of money. Now that this girl took out another fifty taels, who wouldn't want a piece of the pie?
Even if there were many people, they could still get a fair amount, couldn't they?
"Place your bets and hands off, place your bets and hands off!" the dealer shouted while shaking the dice cup.
Everyone looked at Cheng Qingli, seemingly waiting for her to place her bet so they could bet on the opposite side.
"This time I'm buying big, I don't believe I can lose again!" Cheng Qingli said, deliberately acting petulant.
"Go place a couple of bets!" Huo Yunzhi, standing to the side, ordered Fangcao to also place a bet.
"Miss, your servant wouldn't dare!" Fangcao quickly shook her head.
The place was full of stinky men, and Fangcao didn't dare to take even one step closer.
"Useless thing!" Huo Yunzhi said in dissatisfaction.
However, she had no intention of stepping forward either. After all, squeezing together with a bunch of men was such a degrading thing, and she couldn't bring herself to do it.
"Then I'll bet small!"
Liu San looked at Cheng Qingli with a smug face. Just now he had bet two copper coins and got three taels of silver, which was more than the two taels Fourth Young Master Zhang got.
Liu San felt a bit regretful in his heart that he had bet too little just now.
Thinking of this, Liu San bet all twenty copper coins he brought today on small.
A few people looked greedily at the fifty taels of silver, as if it were already theirs.
They had even thought about which restaurant they would go to drink at once they won this fifty taels.
"Are all bets placed? If so, get ready, I'm opening it!" Seeing this, the dealer felt a bit helpless and hurriedly shouted.
"Dealer, hurry up and open it!"
"Exactly, open it quickly!"
Seeing that everyone was so impatient, the dealer quickly opened the dice cup.
"One, three, three, Small!" the dealer shouted loudly.
The bettors were all thrilled.
"How is that possible? Dealer, you didn't cheat, did you?" Cheng Qingli looked at the dealer with a hurt expression and deliberately shouted loudly.
"Miss, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't just say whatever you want. Our Jubao House never cheats!" the dealer said, his face looking a bit displeased.
"Again, I don't believe I still can't win!" Cheng Qingli deliberately pushed all her silver into the dealer's betting area with a dissatisfied face.
"Yo, dealer, this girl is betting on you to win. This pays two to one," Liu San whistled from the side and said somewhat mockingly.
One must know that although the payout was high, the risk was equally great.
A normal person would never make this bet.
The dealer looked at Cheng Qingli, hesitating to speak, but saw Cheng Qingli turn her face away, unwilling to spare him another glance.
"Miss Cheng, didn't we agree that we would play? Why are you playing with others?" Huo Yunzhi deliberately spoke from behind, addressing Cheng Qingli with some disdain.
"Who are you, woman? Can't you see she's having a good time playing with us?" Soon, someone rebuked Huo Yunzhi in dissatisfaction.
After all, now that Cheng Qingli continued to bet, it was a hundred taels of silver. Thinking of this, everyone present was extremely excited, and none of them wanted to let go of that hundred taels of silver.
"Miss Cheng, why don't we play a few rounds?" Huo Yunzhi ignored the others and instead looked at Cheng Qingli with some smugness.
After all, from these past few rounds, Huo Yunzhi was absolutely certain that this Cheng Qingli was just a fool who understood nothing.
She believed that as long as she bet in the opposite direction, the Qin Pavilion would be in the palm of her hand.
She would even save three thousand taels of silver.
Thinking of this, Huo Yunzhi was very excited.
"Cut the nonsense, hurry up. If I don't win my silver back today, my surname isn't Cheng." Cheng Qingli perfectly displayed the appearance of someone who was completely carried away and didn't want to pay any attention to Huo Yunzhi.
"Dealer, hurry up and open it, our Miss Cheng can't wait any longer."
The bystanders looked at Cheng Qingli like this and felt somewhat smug in their hearts. She was just some unknown eldest miss from some family who had suffered some grievance at home and came to this casino to seek thrills.
Thinking of this, the dealer sighed, thinking to himself, I just hope that when the Emperor and Empress return, they won't punish me!
