Jiang Mingxuan understood and murmured: "I wonder if Mrs. Jiang is really sick this time."
Last time something happened to the second house, and the emperor suppressed it again. Although the second wife's natal family was sacrificed, the second house was still cleared.
Mrs. Jiang, who was seriously ill, naturally gradually recovered.
Only this time...
"Thinking too much, how could that old fox not know about the affairs in this mansion?"
Jiang Shanshan put away the broken silver and stood up, preparing to go out to the gambling shop. After all, it was time to cash in the money after so long.
Seeing that she was about to go out, Jiang Mingxuan also stood up and refused to leave her alone.
There was no other way, Jiang Shanshan could only take him to the agreed gambling place.
He had been missing for half a month, and now that he had fulfilled the contract, Hou Mo was immediately alarmed.
"Miss Jiang, please keep Hou waiting."
In the private room, a leisurely figure turned around.
For this man, Jiang Mingxuan was on guard when he first saw him, and his vigilance never dropped.
A smile appeared in Jiang Shanshan's eyes, and he looked at it with admiration. He liked the robe with wide sleeves and the jade crown and scholar's belt.
Especially since the person in front of me looks unusual.
"We've run into some trouble. It's been delayed for so long. It's my fault for keeping Dong Hou's family waiting."
With that said, she bowed.
Hou Mo turned aside and raised his hand to invite them to sit down.
"Do you need help from Hou for the trouble Miss Jiang mentioned? Although I am just a businessman, I still have some connections."
Jiang Shanshan was slightly surprised, as if he didn't expect that someone like him would take the initiative to cause trouble for him, and immediately said: "No, thank you to the Hou Dong family for their kindness. It's better not to get involved in the Jiang family's affairs."
Hou Mo nodded and poured two cups of tea.
"If you need anything, just ask."
"Thank you very much."
Not forgetting the purpose of his visit today, Jiang Shanshan discussed with him the matter of sitting in the bank.
Hou Mo handed over all the gambling houses in Beijing to her. Seeing dozens of rows of people with names, Jiang Shanshan gritted his teeth in his heart.
Why is this guy so rich?
It turns out that what the world says about making money every day is true.
"You can choose any of these places. I have already given instructions. Everything will be arranged as soon as you arrive. There is no need to worry about anything else."
Hou Mo said warmly.
"Are you going to let my sister go like this?" Jiang Mingxuan looked at him, then glanced at his sister, his meaning was clear.
Hou Mo smiled, his eyes only briefly passing over Jiang Shanshan's face, and said, "I didn't think carefully."
With that said, he whispered a few instructions to Chang Sui, who withdrew, and soon brought several sets of clothes over.
"Huh?" Jiang Shanshan raised his eyes and said, "This is..."
"Miss Jiang is a government girl after all. It's okay to play in the gambling house on weekdays, but it's really inappropriate to be a banker. From now on, she can change into these clothes and wear a veil."
After Hou Mo finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Mingxuan, "What do you think, Mr. Jiang?"
Jiang Mingxuan looked at his sister. He didn't matter, he still had to see what his sister said.
In this case, Jiang Shanshan had no choice but to get up and let Hou Mo order someone to take her down to change clothes.
In the private room, Jiang Mingxuan did not speak again, and Hou Mo also poured tea and drank by himself.
After a while, Jiang Shanshan came back in fluttering white clothes and a veil. The skirt was made of someone who didn't know what it was made of. It was folded in several layers, and each layer had dark silver embroidery patterns. It looked like floating light flowing as she moved around, which was really beautiful.
At least Jiang Shanshan likes it very much.
Hou Mo raised the corners of his lips, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
"How is it? Does it look good?" Jiang Shanshan's exposed eyes curved and he blinked at his younger brother.
Jiang Mingxuan raised his chin.
His sister is naturally the prettiest.
But wouldn’t such clothes be too conspicuous?
Before he could think about it, Jiang Shanshan already said, "This dress is good, and the rest are mine too?"
"Of course, from now on, everything will be available."
"Okay, lead the way! Today, I will make sure that they don't even say a word."
Jiang Shanshan said confidently.
Hou Mo nodded and ordered his followers to take them down.
Jiang Mingxuan followed closely.
When it comes to places like gambling houses, there are actually a mixture of people and people from all three religions and nine schools.
The better ones, like the gambling house directly under the jurisdiction of the Hou family, are also in deep water.
There was a mix of people from all walks of life inside.
As soon as Jiang Shanshan appeared, someone responded and invited her to the dealer's seat.
When people around saw a girl suddenly appear, they all looked over.
After the attendant explained, everyone understood that female gamblers were not uncommon, but this was the first time they saw a female banker.
"Is that okay, little girl? Don't let your gambling house suffer heavy losses."
"Looking at your young age, don't cry when you lose."
"Why don't we give it to others, hahaha..."
Listening to these jokes, Jiang Mingxuan's face darkened. How could his sister be in a place like this!
If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have asked her to sign that contract.
Although he was angry, he was not ignorant. He knew that it would not be appropriate to break the contract and ruin his sister's affairs, so he had to endure it for now.
Jiang Shanshan didn't care. She had been hanging out in places like this a lot. Who hadn't seen her before?
There was no smile on the veiled face. Without saying a word, he raised his hand and swept all the dice on the table into the dice cup.
"Yo!"
This move made the people at the gambling table a little more interested.
The people who could come here were naturally not short of money, so they immediately started placing bets.
Jiang Shanshan pressed down on the table and leaned forward slightly, "I have been in the casino for a long time and have never lost my hand."
As she said that, she knocked on the table, "Today I will start playing bank in the casino under the name of the Hou family. I will give you a chance on this first day. If someone can beat me, the gambling house will not take any money on the table. Everyone, today
My gambling money is also all waived, so you can open a way for me, how about that?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd was in an uproar.
For a time, even people at other tables gathered around and started talking.
"Master, I'm afraid it's not good for Miss Jiang to do this! If we lose, we will lose a lot."
The attendant standing upstairs said to the person in front of him, staring down.
Hou Mo looked calm, his eyes slightly covered, covering half of the person inside.
"Although she is not very old, she does have some real abilities."
The attendant was slightly surprised when he heard this. Although he didn't know why his master trusted a little girl so much, he still didn't ask any more questions.
Jiang Shanshan's campaign was just to secure his seat. After all, after signing a contract, he should show some ability.
Besides, she is here to make a lot of money!
"What if we can't win?" someone asked.
Jiang Shanshan glanced at them and said, "If you can't win, you will naturally have to admit defeat and do whatever you want. In the end, you won't lose money, and our gambling house won't want more from you."
The man heard this and nodded, it was indeed true.
Nowadays, more and more people are placing bets.
Jiang Mingxuan looked at these people in surprise, then looked at his domineering sister, and for a moment he felt inexplicably excited.
His sister will never lose.
Definitely can win!
At that moment, he took out a silver ingot and placed it on the dealer.
Jiang Shanshan looked back with a smile in his eyes.
