Okay! I accepted the challenge, but the stakes need to be greatly increased. If you dare to bet, let’s bet. If you don’t dare, just get out! Don’t waste my time here!
Ma Xiaoyao raised the bet to one million taels of silver, which immediately shocked the five brothers and sisters of the Gao family.
"Hey, tell me if it's okay or not." Ma Xiaoyao asked: "If you agree, we will sign a contract. If you don't agree, then you can leave. Don't delay my breakfast."
The five brothers and sisters of the Gao family looked at each other, and then Miss Gao Wu spoke up: "I'm sorry, the stakes you proposed are too high. We can't make the decision. We need to go back and ask my grandfather for instructions."
"Then why are you still standing here? Why don't you hurry up and ask for instructions!" Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand impatiently.
"Farewell." The five brothers and sisters of the Gao family strode away.
"Mr. Xing, please stop standing and sit down to have breakfast." Ma Xiaoyao pulled out his chair and sat down: "Well, today's breakfast is very rich. Oh, there is also milk, which is good.
,really not bad."
Xing Yajun hesitated for a moment: "Mr. Ma, the five brothers and sisters of the Gao family are coming today with bad intentions. You have to be more careful."
"Shop Manager Xing, how much do you know about the grandfather of the Gao family brothers and sisters?"
"...the grandfather of the Gao brothers and sisters was a capable businessman who developed a small, unknown family into a famous family, but...I have never heard of this old man gambling on stones..."
"It's hidden deep enough." The corner of Ma Xiaoyao's mouth curled up slightly: "Outsiders only know that he is a businessman, but they don't know that he is also a master of stone gambling... What is the purpose of hiding his stone gambling ability?
Keeping a low profile, or do you have some agenda?"
"Since the other party dares to challenge you blatantly, it means that he is fully prepared. Mr. Ma... If you can, you should refuse this bet." Xing Yajun said in a deep voice.
"What?" Ma Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows slightly: "Are you afraid? Are you afraid that I will lose?"
"Actually, we have won enough..." Xing Yajun said in a tactful tone. For some reason, Xing Yajun felt particularly uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.
"We'll talk about this later. Our main task now is to have breakfast." After saying this, Ma Xiaoyao lowered his head and started to eat the food on the table: "Well, it's delicious, it's really delicious, especially this
A portion of milk, mellow and delicious, with endless aftertaste."
Seeing that Ma Xiaoyao was unwilling to mention the gambling, Xing Yajun had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.
After eating breakfast and resting for a while, the two of them set off for the stone gambling competition.
…
There were still a lot of people coming to participate in the Stone Betting Competition today. The huge manor was so crowded that it was almost impossible to squeeze into some places.
After all, the manor is still a bit small, and it will be enough to double its size.
"Mr. Ma, what are you looking for?" Xing Yajun asked doubtfully. Since entering the manor, Ma Xiaoyao began to look around, not knowing what he was looking for.
"I'm looking for the five brothers and sisters of the Gao family." Ma Xiaoyao said casually: "Don't they want to bet with me? Why can't I even see anyone?"
Xing Yajun's face twitched fiercely: "Mr. Ma... you are still thinking about this matter..."
"Nonsense." Ma Xiaoyao snorted softly: "They announced a challenge early in the morning and are so aggressive. How can I not give them some color?" At this point, Ma Xiaoyao added another sentence: "Besides, I also want to win more.
Point some money." Betting on stones by yourself is too boring. It would be fun if you had someone to gamble with you for a few games.
"Mr. Ma..." Xing Yajun wanted to persuade.
"Hey, here we come!" Ma Xiaoyao's eyes suddenly lit up: "The five brothers and sisters of the Gao family are here!"
"Huh?"
The people I saw were the five brothers and sisters of the Gao family.
"Mr. Ma, Shopkeeper Xing." The five brothers and sisters of the Gao family greeted politely: "We have discussed it with my grandfather, and he will accept the bet you proposed."
"Oh?" Ma Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows: "Your grandfather is indeed very courageous!"
"Please, Mr. Ma and Shopkeeper Xing, please follow us to the backcourt." The Gaowu girl made an invitation gesture.
"back-court?"
"Yes, my grandfather is waiting for you two in the backcourt."
"Yes, by virtue of your grandfather's identity and status, you are indeed qualified to enter the backcourt, but... as far as I know, you must have an invitation from the organizer to enter the backcourt..."
"Don't worry, you two. With us leading the way, the soldiers guarding will not dare to stop you." The high-five girl said confidently.
Ma Xiaoyao smiled and nodded: "That would be the best."
In this way, Ma Xiaoyao and Xing Yajun followed the five brothers and sisters of the Gao family towards the backcourt. Their departure immediately aroused strong dissatisfaction among the midfield punters. They originally planned to watch the fun, but who knew that Ma Xiaoyao and others went to the backcourt?
A gamble is really disappointing.
As the Gaowu girl said, with their brother and sister leading the way, the soldiers guarding the backcourt did not stop Ma Xiaoyao and Xing Yajun. In this way, Ma Xiaoyao and Xing Yajun entered the backcourt easily.
Is this the backcourt?
As expected, it is more impressive than the midfield and frontcourt, but the area is relatively smaller and there are fewer stones.
Ma Xiaoyao glanced around and narrowed his eyes. Xing Yajun was really right. The stones in the backcourt are indeed very expensive, very, very expensive. Pulling out any stone costs tens of thousands of taels of silver. Some stones are directly
The price tag is hundreds of thousands taels, or millions of taels.
People who don’t have a certain net worth really can’t afford to gamble.
"The old man in front is our grandfather." Gaowu girl pointed to the front and said.
Ma Xiaoyao looked up and saw an old man wearing white clothes standing more than ten meters away. He had white hair, white eyebrows and white beard, a ruddy complexion, and a tall body, giving people the feeling of standing on a mountain. These are the five brothers and sisters of the Gao family.
Your grandfather? He looks really extraordinary!
At this moment, the old man on the opposite side walked over, walking smoothly and smoothly, with his beard flowing smoothly under his chin, and his clothes flowing freely, giving him the air of a fairy.
"Grandpa, this is Mr. Ma." Miss Gao Wu introduced: "This is Shopkeeper Xing."
"Hello." The old man nodded slightly: "Old Gao Shanshui is the patriarch of the Gao family. I am truly lucky to see you two today."
"Gaoshanshui?" Ma Xiaoyao was stunned. This name is quite special.
"Mr. Ma, are you ready? If you are, let's get started." Gao Shanshui was quite straightforward. After exchanging names, he immediately got to the point without any delay.
Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "I have been ready for a long time."
"Then let's start betting..."
"Wait a moment!"
"What? Is there anything else?"
"Should we establish a written agreement?"
"You don't believe me?"
"I just want to be safe."
"Okay, let's create a document!"
At Ma Xiaoyao's request, the two parties established a written agreement. With the written agreement, both parties could not default on the debt.
Hearing that Gao Shanshui was going to gamble with Ma Xiaoyao, a lot of people gathered around him, whispering and discussing.
"Old Gao hasn't made a move for many years."
"What is the origin of this guy opposite? Is he worthy of Gao Lao's action?"
"There's something good to watch today."
"Do you think it's Mr. Gao who wins, or that strange boy?"
"Nonsense, of course Mr. Gao won. Mr. Gao is famous far and wide. How can it be compared to a little-known boy?"
…
Ma Xiaoyao paid no attention to the discussions around him. He walked through the pile of stones with steady steps. After a moment, he came over holding a stone that was as tall as half a man: "I have chosen it."
After a while, Ma Xiaoyao put the stone on the ground.
At the same time, Gao Shanshui also walked out with a stone in his arms. The stone he chose was very special. It was flat and looked like a millstone. It also had many strange patterns on it. Anyone with a discerning eye could see these at a glance.
Patterns are naturally occurring and are not engraved artificially.
"boom!"
Gao Shanshui threw the stone on the ground and said calmly: "I have made my choice too."
Ma Xiaoyao frowned slightly. The stone selected by Gao Shanshui is very special... It looks nondescript, but it has a very strange feeling... There must be something good inside the stone...
Gao Shanshui waved his hand towards Ma Xiaoyao: "You are a junior, I will let you cut the stone first."
"For the sake of fairness, let's cut it open together." Ma Xiaoyao said calmly.
"Cut them together?" Gao Shanshui nodded generously: "Okay, since you proposed it, let's cut them together."
At this time, two men came from the side, carrying knives and trying to cut the stone.
The exciting moment is coming!
What’s the most exciting moment in stone betting? Of course it’s time to cut the stone! One cut to heaven, one cut to hell! If you’re not careful, you may lose everything!
Who will win?
Is it Gao Shanshui, a senior with high qualifications, or Ma Xiaoyao, a young boy who is just starting out?
Let us wait and see!
The most nervous person at the scene was Xing Yajun. All the gambling funds were paid by him. If he lost, he would have to pay one million taels of silver... Xing Yajun prayed silently in his heart, praying to heaven, praying to the earth, praying
Thousands of Buddhas are praying to unknown gods. Please help us win!
If I really win, I will definitely buy sumptuous sacrifices to worship the great gods!
"Wait a moment!"
Suddenly a cry came from the crowd of onlookers, "Don't rush to cut the stone yet, I have something to say."
Everyone looked back and saw that the person speaking was a handsome young man wearing gorgeous clothes. He was holding a folding fan in his hand. He looked handsome, proud and impressive.
"He is the prince of Daliang Kingdom."
"He actually came too."
"What does the prince want to do? Want to stop this gambling?"
