After entering the gambling house, Bearded Man cleared away all the gamblers who were gambling, cleared a clean table in the middle of the gambling house, and invited Lin Jinxiao and Chu Nanzhi to sit down.
Then he disappeared for a while.
Not long after, a man in brocade clothes about the same size as him walked out with him.
The bearded man held a set of dice in his hand and solemnly introduced: "Princess Qi, this is our shopkeeper Sun."
"Sun Zhe, a common man, has met King Pingning and met the princess."
Sun Zhe cupped his hand and a sly look flashed in his eyes: "I wonder if the princess wants to play dice or Pai Gow?"
The most important forms of gambling in gambling houses in this era were rolling dice, pai gow and leaf cards.
There are also some games among the people such as cockfighting.
Chu Nanzhi narrowed her eyes and glanced at the dice in the bearded man's hand, waved his hands carelessly and said: "It's up to you."
Sun Zhe grinned crookedly and said: "I guess the princess and your highness seldom go to the casino, so I will just play a simple game with you two, and let's guess the size?"
"OK."
Chu Nanzhi replied without hesitation.
Sun Zhe and the bearded man looked at each other and smiled. He hurriedly took the dice and said, "Your Highness and Princess, please check the dice."
"Ahem, since I have come in, I must trust Shopkeeper Sun."
Chu Nanzhi stared at the two of them deeply: "My son-in-law has been a gambling addict in your house for many years. How can I not believe in you two?"
Hearing this, Sun Zhe and Bearded Beard couldn't help but have a hint of bitterness on their faces, and they didn't know how to answer her.
"please."
Chu Nanzhi spread her hands and urged in a hurry.
Sun Zhe did his duty and placed the three dice on the table for Chu Nanzhi to take a look at, leaving some flaws. Then he rolled up the dice with a tube and started shaking them.
After he was convinced, Sun Zhe looked at her with a smile: "Would you like the princess to place a bet?"
Chu Nanzhi remembered that the numbers before he rolled the dice were three, four, and six. According to the casino's routine, he would definitely let himself get the benefit first, so he followed his routine and replied happily: "Today is my palace.
It's my first time to enter a gambling house, hoping for a good fortune, I bet one hundred taels on the big one."
Then he put a hundred taels of silver notes on the table.
Sun Zhe nodded slightly, opened the bag, and pretended to be shocked: "The princess is really lucky today, and she has already won her first prize."
Chu Nanzhi looked at the dice, and saw that the points were exactly the same as before he rolled the dice, and he had a rough idea in his mind.
After the second round of rolling dice, Chu Nanzhi saw that the number of points on the table was still high, and the result was also as expected. Only one of the dice came out slightly changed.
After seven or eight consecutive rounds, Sun Zhe began to change his tone: "The princess is really lucky. It's rare for the princess and her highness to come to our house. How about the common people are willing to add more luck to the princess and let the princess have more fun?"
"That's true, the bet of one hundred taels is still a bit small."
Chu Nanzhi pretended to be very excited and turned to look at Lin Jinxiao, who was confused, and deliberately emphasized his tone: "How about we increase the bet to a thousand taels?"
"One thousand taels?"
Sun Zhe and everyone around him looked stunned.
Such a gamble is really a big gamble.
Lin Jinxiao also murmured in his heart.
She has won several rounds in a row, but no matter how good her luck is, there will always be times when she fails.
But Chu Nanzhi pressed forward confidently: "Why, shopkeeper Sun doesn't dare? Isn't it possible that such a big gambling shop can't even get out this little money?"
Sun Zhe's face changed slightly and he sneered: "The common people are afraid of hurting the harmony."
He originally wanted to expose some flaws to her, hoping that she would stop when she saw fit, but she was a little too greedy.
"It doesn't matter, since you have entered a gambling house, you should know that winning and losing have their own destiny."
Chu Nanzhi waved her hand and thought to herself: Anyway, you won't be able to dance for a few days.
When Sun Zhe saw that she insisted on doing this, he immediately lost his worries and rolled the dice again.
It's just that there are some slight changes in rolling the dice this time. Every time before covering the dice, he will quickly block the tube with his sleeves, and then quickly move away, without even realizing it, he will cover the number of the dice when it is put into the tube.
Chu Nanzhi couldn't see the number of the dice, so he could only guess the possible size of the dice based on his hunch.
After losing several rounds in this way, all the five thousand taels of silver notes in his hand and the money he won were lost.
Sun Zhe said with a proud look on his face: "I accept it, Princess."
"It's boring, it's really boring."
Chu Nanzhi had no intention of stopping, but instead said, "How about we change the gameplay?"
"Oh? Does the princess still want to continue playing?"
Sun Zhe originally thought that she knew some of the secrets, but after some contact, he discovered that the princess was just as stupid as her little son-in-law.
Chu Nanzhi pretended not to be reconciled and said: "Of course I want to continue playing. Didn't Shopkeeper Cai Sun say just now that I will be lucky today?"
Lin Jinxiao looked at her abnormal behavior today and felt that she had sensed something fishy, so he stopped trying to stop her and instead agreed, "Since my princess likes to play, shopkeeper Sun will accompany her to the end."
However, Chu Nanzhi's next words made Lin Jinxiao less calm: "I thought of an extremely exciting way to play. I am not very talented, but I have developed a unique skill over the years. I can use my ear to identify the points of the dice.
"
After looking around at the dumbfounded people, she said firmly: "Yes, you heard me right, it's not about the size, but the number of points on each dice."
Sun Zhe and the bearded man looked helpless when they heard this.
This princess's boasting is a bit too much.
If she had this ability, how could she bet on the wrong thing just now?
Lin Jinxiao also secretly tugged on her clothes with some worry.
Chu Nanzhi tightly grasped his restless hand and stared at Sun Zhe, full of provocation: "Shopkeeper Sun, do you dare to make a bet? The bet is still one thousand taels."
After a pause, she changed the subject: "But this time it's one thousand taels per point."
This is not seeking death.
Sun Zhe slapped his palm decisively on the table and said excitedly: "Since the princess is so elegant, the common people will accompany her to the end."
"Very good. Shopkeeper Sun is really happy."
Seeing that he finally agreed to her request, Chu Nanzhi suddenly changed the subject: "But now I have to throw the dice."
"."
Upon hearing this, Sun Zhehe's face with stretched beard tightened and he hesitated.
"Why, shopkeeper Sun is worried that I can't roll the dice well, or is I worried that I might notice something wrong?"
Chu Nanzhi looked directly at him sharply, with a questioning look in her eyes.
How dare Sun Zhe disobey.
If he disobeys her at this time, it is not the same as admitting that he is cheating in front of the prince and princess. This is not asking for death.
He gradually realized that he had fallen into the princess's routine.
But with so much foreshadowing, she had no room for regrets, so she had to grit her teeth and swallow the bitter water. She secretly winked at the boy next to her and obediently handed over the dice in her hand.
Then he ordered someone to prepare the banknotes and brought them over. He was lucky enough to think that she was just too playful and didn't notice anything.
