Chapter 23 Set a Gamble
"That depends on what the young master wants to bet. Naturally, the gambling house can set up a game, depending on the meaning of the young master." The steward smiled, "Of course you can bet on some unique things. It's just that we high-rollers come too." Those who have their own rules, no matter what kind of gamble, they will charge [-]% after the game is over."

"Really?" Yun Shu fumbled for the teacup with her fingertips, showing a bit of a smile, which was a bit of a playboy, "Three days later, Lord Yun of the Jingyuan Hou's Mansion is going to marry the second young lady of the Zhu family. matter, but the steward knows?"

The steward nodded, everyone in Yongdu knew about this, and there was no one who didn't know about it.

"Then invite high-rollers to come and set up a gamble to see how many people will buy Yun Hou Ye to marry the second Miss Zhu's family. I will pay 200 taels to bet that Yun Hou Ye will not be able to marry the second Miss Zhu Jia's wife. "As Yun Shu said, she threw the silver bag hidden in her sleeve on the table and made a loud sound.

The steward was a little surprised, dumbfounded: "Such a gamble..."

"How? Don't you dare?" Yun Shu glanced over, with a hint of provocation.

The steward listened to Yun Shu's words, and his expression was somewhat awkward. Since the establishment of this gambling house, he felt that he had seen many individual gamblers, and the gambling games he had experienced were not tens of thousands at least. It's also thousands, but this kind of bet is a bit weird.

The steward looked a little embarrassed, wondering if such a gamble should continue.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Yun Shu also knew that the person in front of her must not be someone who can decide important matters. She took a cup of tea and took a sip slowly before saying calmly: "If the manager can't decide, then Go ask someone who can make up his mind. I don't think the most famous gambling house in Yongdu can't handle such a small game, right?"

Yun Shu asked this question very arrogantly, and the manager admitted it. This is the first time such a gamble, and it really wasn't something he could make up his mind right away. He thought for a while and smiled: "Well, I will Let’s go ask the manager and then come back to answer the young master, let’s have tea here and wait a while, young master.”

The steward resigned, and Yun Shu was not in a hurry, she just ate tea in the private room to the yelling from outside, waiting for the steward to reply to her.

After the steward retreated, he headed towards the steward's room on the third floor, which had been closed for many years with the words "no entry for idlers" on it. He knocked on the door, and the steward would normally He agreed, and he stood outside the door and waited for a while. After a long while, he heard "Come in" from inside, and the voice was more calm than usual.

The steward opened the door and went in. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the steward standing aside respectfully. There was a man and a woman in the room, both of whom were dressed in rich and beautiful clothes. They were just sitting on the side drinking tea quietly. There is a kind of natural nobility in the demeanor.

As soon as her legs softened, the steward wanted to kneel down immediately. These two people were not ordinary people. The woman who was looking through the account book with a bit of sternness in her beauty was Xie Jinhua, the Seventh Princess of Chang'an who is now in charge of the country. Sitting at the side with a cup of tea, drinking a cup of tea without taking a sip, the thirteenth prince Jin Wang Xie Huaiyin who is in charge of the Ministry of Households is the thirteenth prince who is in charge of the household department.

The biggest casino high rollers in Yongdu indeed had a big shot behind them, and this big shot was none other than Xie Jinhua and Xie Huaiyin.

On weekdays, the manager has always been there to take care of it, and it is rare to see two people here, so after seeing him now, the manager felt that something serious happened, so he gave the two people who were not seen on weekdays. He was recruited, and the steward glanced at the steward, only to see the steward standing aside with his head bowed, silent and without any hint, which made the steward feel even more uneasy.

"What's the matter?" Xie Jinhua glanced at the visitor and asked casually.

The steward came in hastily and closed the door behind him. After paying respects to the two nobles, he said, "Master, a young master came to the gambling house today. It's a bit rare to gamble."

Xie Huaiyin, who was a little lazy at first, raised his head, and there was some interest in that handsome face that seemed to be portrayed. He slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "What is this betting? Gamblers betting? Follow the rules This is not acceptable.”

The steward shook his head: "Returning to the master, this is not the case. The young master is also a wonderful person and said that he wanted to set up a gamble on whether Lord Yun, who lives in Jingyuanhou's mansion, will marry the second young lady of the Zhu family three days later." For a wife."

Xie Huaiyin couldn't help laughing out loud after hearing this, "He really is a wonderful person."

Xie Huaiyin had heard about the matter in the residence of the Marquis of Jingyuan, and with the fact that Marquis Yun and his daughter had three high-fives in front of the hall yesterday, everyone in Yongdu probably knew about it.

"This kind of gamble is indeed very unique. Everyone knows that this marriage is a sure thing. I don't know what the young master means by setting up such a gamble?" Xie Huaiyin rested his chin on one hand, and stopped looking. Xie Jinhua, who was looking at the account, "Seventh sister, what do you think?"

Xie Jinhua also showed a bit of a smile, "This gambling is not something that hurts people's lives, nor does it break the rules of the gambling house. Since this person wants to set up this gamble, he can naturally gamble for a while." Gambling, we are dealers and never take part in gambling, whether we win or lose, we don’t lose money even if we get a lot of money.”

"That's what I said, but the young master's actions are indeed very interesting, but what's the point of doing this?" Xie Huaiyin thought for a while and asked again.

"Perhaps that young master has some kind of relationship with other people. It looks like he was raised by a wealthy family. He is probably trying to make things difficult for the former Mrs. Hou Ye, but the money is going to be thrown away for nothing." Then he smiled. In his opinion, this gamble is not very interesting, but since someone wants to open it, it is naturally possible, but the 200 taels are just thrown away for nothing.

The steward said so, and then glanced at Princess Chang'an who lowered her head to look at the ledger again, and then glanced at Xie Huaiyin, and asked, "Then I will go back to that young master and set up this gamble."

"Go!" Xie Huaiyin waved his hand.

After receiving the order, the steward bowed again before going out again.

Xie Huaiyin propped his chin, still pondering over this matter, only felt that it was a bit of a coincidence that this gamble appeared at this time, as if someone deliberately arranged it.

"If you have such a leisurely mind, you might as well take care of the household department." Xie Jinhua rubbed her brows, stood up, with an indescribable exhaustion, "You should pay more attention to the affairs of the treasury." .”

The national treasury has been empty all these years, and the border war with Changsu has been going on for half a year. After all, this kind of gambling house is not a long-term plan. It’s just that there have been many things since the founding of the country, and the years of fighting for the national treasury are also true. It is difficult to fill.Thinking of the national treasury, Xie Huaiyin felt a headache, and had no choice but to open this gambling house in private, only to make some money.
