Chapter 12
Gu Qingdai put down the teacup, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and commented: "This tea has a strong tea soup and a sweet aftertaste. It can be regarded as a high-quality product in the waiting building."

Jian Jia slightly nodded her head in agreement: "This snow mist and cloud is a new product this year, and we are the only ones waiting for the leisure building to have it. It will definitely make a lot of money."

"If you make money, I will give you reward money."

She fiddled with the tea cover and said, Jian Jia and Wei Shuang have served her side since childhood, doing their best.She is her indispensable right-hand man, even a sister is not too much.

Jian Jia didn't care about the rewards, so she sat next to Gu Qingdai's legs and gently pinched her legs and said: "Miss, the third lady sent someone to say that there are not enough pearls to be inlaid on your wedding dress, so ask the servant girl for more." One box."

"Didn't you just give me a box a few days ago?"

Gu Qingdai frowned slightly, the third lady took a box of pearls from her last time, and now she wants more?

She allowed Sanfang to reap some benefits from it, but is their appetite getting bigger and bigger now?There are no more than 25 pearls inlaid on a wedding dress, but there were [-] pearls in the box last time.

Now the price of pearls in Jinling City is soaring, and one pearl can be sold for a high price of five taels of silver.

"Sanfang said that pearls are not only used on the wedding dress but also on the crown, so it's not enough." Jian Jia repeated Sanfang's words, "I have gone to see the pearls on the wedding dress and the crown. It is indeed correct.”

"In that case, just take ten more."

Gu Qingdai pondered for a while with her hand on her chin.

……

Outside the casino, Li Need stood at the door with a bruised face.As the cold wind blew, he couldn't help stamping his feet and rubbing his hands.

Looking at the gamblers going in and out of the gambling house, Wang Hu, the little follower behind him, stabbed him, and couldn't help but said, "Brother Li, we've all stood a stick of incense outside the gambling house, so we really don't want to go in?"

Li Need glared at him, but what he thought of was what his father said, and if he dared to bet, he would break his leg and sweep him out.

However, he is now at the gate of the gambling house, and he still has a few taels of silver from his aunt in his pocket.If you go in and gamble, maybe you can earn some money for drinking, eating and visiting Chunxiang Building.

Li Need gritted his teeth, stomped his feet and said, "Let's go in."

Open the curtain of the casino and get in.The casino is usually crowded with people, but now that it is still freezing outside and there is nothing to do, many people like to gather in places like the casino to have fun when they are free.

Li Xi led Wang Hu to the front, and when he saw that the bet was being placed, he thought it was just a coincidence, so he dropped a few copper coins to test the water.

The dealer saw Li Need cast five copper coins on the big board, and shouted at the group of gamblers whose eyes were red: "Buy it and leave it, buy it and leave it."

Looking at the dealer's hand shaking the dice, Li Xi couldn't help but get excited, and shouted excitedly: "Big! Big! Big..."

Uncover the dice cup, it is surprisingly big inside.

Li Need couldn't help but smile in his eyes. This is a good start, which symbolizes a smooth day.Maybe I can make a lot of money today!
He started betting again, and this time Li Need chose to bet big again.

The dealer opened the dice cup, and it was big again.

Li Need took a look at the one or two taels of silver he had bet, and smiled and moved the money in front of him.

……

As time passed, Li Need had changed from a few taels of silver to dozens of taels of silver.

And changed from the craps table to the Pai Gow table, he was touching his own cards in his hand.With confidence in his heart, he couldn't help showing a smile.

He pushed out all his chips to place a bet. Seeing Li Need's bold betting method, the banker's face was a little frozen, but he was sneering in his heart.

He slowly opened the cards, and it was Li Xisheng again.This is already the tenth time Li Need has won today, and it is still a winning streak.

Li Xu stood up abruptly, extremely excited.

Today, he felt that he had just gotten lucky, and having dozens of taels of silver in just half a day was like the blessing of the God of Gamblers.

He opened his hands and cheered, jumping for joy.

"Boom!"

This strange sound attracted everyone's attention. They all looked at the Pai Gow that suddenly appeared on the ground, and then looked up.

It's Li Need!

"How dare you pay a thousand!"

A burly man came over, stared at Li Xu viciously, and stretched out his hand to stagger Li Xu.

The original expressions appeared on everyone's faces. They watched Li Need change from a few copper coins to so much money.I was envious in my heart, but I didn't expect that Li Need would dare to spend money in the gambling shop.

This is looking for death in a casino!

Li Xi was picked up like an eagle catching a chick, the collar of his clothes was tightly strangled, he struggled to defend himself.

"I didn't pay a thousand!"

"...I didn't pay a thousand!"

"The Pai Gow that fell out of you, you said you didn't win? How else can you explain?" The dealer looked at Li Xu with a sullen face, his voice was very clear in this casino, "Come on, give me a hard time." hit!"

As soon as the words fell, the guards of the gambling house appeared from various places, punching and kicking Li Xu.

"Break his hand!"

The dealer looked at the pile of silver piled on the table and said, his face was gloomy.

broken hand?

The people around couldn't help gasping when they heard this.

Li Xu struggled even more, and kept shouting to defend himself: "I was wronged, I didn't cheat! I didn't!"

Hearing this, the dealer didn't show any emotion on his face, he just watched Li Xie's hand being beaten and broken by the thugs.

Only a scream was heard penetrating the roof of the casino.

Li Xu's hands were broken at the sound, and he limp and limp on the ground, fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.The crippled hand hangs limply aside, which is shocking to see.

"Throw him out, and let those dirty hands and feet see Chuqian's end!"

The dealer ordered the karate to pick up Li Xi, who was limp on the ground, and throw him out of the gambling house.

Li needs to be abolished.

Wang Hu, who came with him, hid in the crowd and smacked his lips looking at the half-dead Li Xi lying on the street.He said he couldn't gamble, so why didn't Li Need listen to persuasion?It's all right now, I was crippled by the gambling house!

He reached out his hand to touch the silver in his pocket, and couldn't help feeling a little happy that he finally had the money to marry his wife.

When receiving the news of Li Xufei's resignation, Gu Qingdai was checking the accounts in the study, and Wei Shuang was grinding ink for her.

"Miss, there is a word from the casino that the matter has been settled."

She turned her fingers slightly and turned the pages lightly, staring at the account book intently: "I see."

"The second lady has just received the news, and now she has rushed back to her mother's house." Wei Shuang said, stopping the movement of rubbing ink in her hand, "The slaves at the Huichun Hall at home have already greeted."

"The Li family has been backed by the Jingguohou Mansion for so many years, and they have been domineering outside. You brought my brand to break the relationship between the two families."

Gu Qingdai always likes to be clean and tidy in her hands, and the second room was only because of her second uncle who passed away. If it wasn't for the second uncle, the second room might not be able to stay until today.
