Zhao Liangxu saw that what he said was very affectionate and he was still young and seemed to be an honest and simple person. In addition, he was indeed bored, so he nodded and agreed to him.

The two of them went all the way to Manxianglou and ordered peanuts, grilled chicken, and small meat skewers.

The two of them talked a lot while drinking and drinking, and Zhao Liangxu discovered for the first time that this person who met by chance actually understood him so well. He understood that he had not been recognized for his talent for so many years, and he understood that he had not been understood for so many years.

"They don't understand us at all. How much do we have to learn every day? We read and recite books and write our own poems... Our pressure is no less than theirs. But those adults also like to say that we are big-hearted and not as good as so and so! Is it possible?

I don’t want to be a poet, a poet? I don’t want to be famous in history?” The young boy drank and shook his head, tears falling from the corners of his eyes, “I also want to be a famous minister, or a successful businessman. But my strength does not allow it... I have already

I tried very hard but still couldn’t do it…”

"Yes." Zhao Liangxu felt that what he said was really reasonable, "My father was the same. He obviously took the scientific examination many times back then, and later relied on my mother to become the minister. Now he says that I am not as good as he was then?

Say I have no ambition at all... Humph, don’t I want to be the number one pick that attracts thousands of people’s attention? Don’t I want to have great power?”

"They are always like this. They are obviously not outstanding, but they do not allow their children to be outstanding either..." The young boy murmured, his tongue curled up a little, "These adults are so annoying..."

"Brother! What a close friend!" Zhao Liangxu suddenly held his hand, "Those of my friends have never been like you and would stand by my side. They would only brag that I have a father who is a minister... and they asked me for more

Listen to my father...hum, they are a bunch of sycophants."

"Yes, a bunch of sycophants. As good friends, how can we not stand by your side?" The young boy nodded heavily.

"What's your name?" Zhao Liangxu asked, "Today, I want to sworn sworn vows with you!"

"My name is Jiu Sheng. I am from an ordinary background. How can I be sworn sworn brother with you?" The young boy waved his hands repeatedly, "I will be so poor in one day..."

"Oh, don't say that. Today, you and I are brothers with different surnames!" Zhao Liangxu raised his glass, raised his head, and took a sip.

"Young Master, you..." When the young man saw this, he was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and drank with a smile, "Okay! Today, you and I are brothers with different surnames!"

That day should be Zhao Liangxu's most joyful and unrestrained day.

From that day on, he often went out with Jiu Sheng. They would discuss academics together and recite poetry. No matter what he did, Jiu Sheng would stand by him as a friend and support him unconditionally.

.

Later, Jiu Sheng took him to a gambling house.

The first time he stepped into a gambling house, he was filled with resistance.

"This gambling is not a good thing." Jiu Sheng said this and took the lead to step forward and put the copper coins he had plundered from his body on "Xiao".

"You're still playing with it if it's not a good thing?" Zhao Liangxu looked at him puzzled.

"There is no other way, I have no money." Jiu Sheng smiled helplessly, "This is the fastest way to make money."

"Brother Zhao, just watch from the side." Jiu Sheng said.

"..."

In that game, Jiu Sheng lost and won again, won and lost again.

"Brother Zhao, which one do you think I should suppress?"

During a certain game, Jiu Sheng suddenly asked him.

After a long time, he answered, "Small."

"Okay, then I will listen to Brother Zhao." Jiu Sheng said, placing his bet on "small".

The dice collide with each other in the dice pot, making a crisp sound.

Zhao Liangxu stretched his neck and looked forward.

The lid was lifted, and it was - small!

"Okay! Brother Zhao!" Jiu Sheng patted his shoulder excitedly, "What will happen?"

Zhao Liangxu looked at the large and small pieces of silver on the field, listened to the sound of the dice colliding, and said, "Little..."

"Okay!" Jiu Sheng responded and put all the money on the small table.

"Oh, your bet is too big..." Zhao Liangxu stopped him.

"Brother Zhao doesn't understand. The more you pay, the more you get in return." Jiu Sheng patted him to reassure him.

The bustling gambling house, with its mixture of fish and dragons and bustling crowds, is like a pool of muddy water.

The moment the dice pot was opened, Zhao Liangxu suddenly felt that the surroundings were silent, and there was only him and the dice in the whole world.

"Xiao! Yes Xiao! Brother Zhao, you are so awesome!"

A long voice echoed in his ears.

He smiled, and the smile gradually spread to his ears.

"Brother Zhao, you are so awesome, why don't you come and play?" Jiu Sheng suddenly said, and he gave him the money he won, "If you win, return your capital to me. If you lose, just give me your capital."

When I invite you!"

"How can this be done?" Zhao Liangxu shied away, "It's not like I don't have money..."

"I've invited you as my brother, will you give me a face?" Jiu Sheng raised his eyebrows, feigning anger.

"Oh, okay." Zhao Liangxu half-heartedly took the money.

After taking the money, Zhao Liangxu looked for another table. At first, he was cautious and only paid a little at a time. But gradually, he became more and more greedy.

He placed all his bets, thinking that if he won, his money would be doubled.

If he loses, he has nothing to lose... He has prepared in his mind that he will lose.

But he didn't expect that when the dice pot was opened, it was the "big one" he pressed!

In just this breath, the funds in his hand doubled. He looked at the broken silver on the table and began to think, it turns out that this game is so simple, how can he win so much money?

"Are you still having fun? If you don't want to play, make room!" Someone on the side couldn't help shouting when they saw him in a daze.

"Play!" Zhao Liangxu's eyes gradually became firm, and he shouted again, "Play! I'll play!"

With that said, he has placed all his bets on "big".

This time, he won the bet again.

Zhao Liangxu, who had won a lot of money, returned the money Jiu Sheng gave him and went gambling with the money he had just won.

Win, lose, win. Even though you lose sometimes, you can still win back the next time.

But for some reason, every time he lost, there was a voice in his heart, echoing in his ears——

"I can definitely win back the next one."

"The next one..."

"The next one..."

…

As he played more and more, the money in his hands was gradually not enough for him to squander.

He is a self-respecting person and refuses to ask for anything from his parents.

At this time, he and Jiu Sheng saw a kind of fake silver on the black market.

This fake silver is exactly the same as the one in the Jin Dynasty's bank, exactly the same!

The moment he saw this batch of counterfeit silver, a plan came to his mind.

So, after going to the Yamen, he took advantage of his profession and went to the bank to exchange the fake silver with the real silver and obtain the real silver.

The guard at the door would often look at him.

But he changed it quickly, and the fake silver was realistic, and there was no shortage of silver in the house, so they didn't notice that he had tampered with it.

Over time, he exchanged a lot of silver.

He knew this was wrong, and at first he thought that when he won the bet, he would definitely exchange it for real silver.
