Lin Xiuyan replied: "Although the Lin Mansion and the Fan Mansion have business contacts, neither business nor friendship is enough for the Lin Mansion to pay more than two million taels of silver."
When she said this, she spread her hands: "The point is, even if we sell all the properties in the Lin Mansion, we won't be able to get so much cash at once."
The steward asked her: "How does Miss Lin plan to handle this matter?"
"Of course the gambling matter will be settled by gambling." Lin Xiuyan clasped her hands on her chest and looked at the steward: "I'll bet with you."
"If you don't bet on anything else, just bet on your wish!"
The steward laughed: "Ms. Lin, are you sure?"
Lin Xiuyan's eyebrows curved slightly: "I'm very sure."
Fan Xilou felt a little anxious when he heard this. He gently pulled her sleeve and said, "Don't be impulsive!"
"There are experts in their gambling den!"
Lin Xiuyan patted his hand reassuringly and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm also a master."
Fan Xilou: "..."
Looking at her delicate and charming appearance, he couldn't connect her with a gambling master.
He was really afraid that she would ruin the Lin family's property because of his affairs, and he would become a sinner by then.
What else did he want to say, but Lin Xiuyan put her hands on her hips and asked, "Which one of you will bet with me?"
The scene in front of him did not surprise the steward. He replied: "Here, I invite God of Gamblers Li!"
A skinny man walked out from behind the door.
The man looked to be about forty or fifty years old, with slender finger joints, sharp fingertips, and thick palms. These were typical gambler's hands.
Lin Xiuyan's eyes narrowed slightly. She knew this man, who was known as the God of Gamblers in Chongqing City and had extremely high gambling skills.
It seems that this time Zhou Chenyang really wants to swallow the entire Lin Mansion in one go.
Ye Junfei's eyes were full of interest. He leaned into Lin Xiuyan's ear and said, "This man has two brushes."
"Although you say you can do it, I think this is a bit difficult for you."
"How about this? Just beg me and I'll help you settle this matter."
He came too close and his warm breath filled her ears, making her very uncomfortable.
She silently moved aside a little, coughed slightly and said, "You have to have confidence in me!"
He helped her break off their engagement with Zhou Chenyang, and she could use money to help him suppress his bloodline.
If she asked him for help with this matter, given his evil heart, she might even have to pay him her pants.
She hurriedly smiled and said: "I can handle some small things myself without Mr. Ye having to take action."
Ye Junfei's eyes were even more interesting: "Don't be brave!"
Lin Xiuyan said hurriedly: "Don't be brave, if I really can't handle it, I will take action again, Mr. Lao Ye."
The voices of the two of them were not loud, but not quiet either. Everyone in the room could hear them clearly.
To the ears of Gambling God Li and the manager, their confident appearance was full of provocation.
Li Gambling God looked at Lin Xiuyan with some disdain and asked: "What does Miss Lin want to bet on? How much bet will she place in the first game?"
Although the bet on "Ruyiwei" has been determined, it only determines the odds. As for which betting method it is, you can still choose from Pai Gow and dice.
As for placing a bet, it refers to the initial bet.
Lin Xiuyan asked Fan Xilou: "How much money did you place on your first bet?"
Fan Xilou was a little confused at this time, but he still answered honestly: "One thousand taels."
Lin Xiuyan took out a stack of banknotes from her arms and said, "Then I'll put two thousand taels in it!"
After she finished speaking, she smiled at Fan Xilou: "I don't mean to suppress you, but I want to fulfill my duty as a landlord."
"After I win the money, I will buy you delicious food."
Fan Xilou: "...Okay."
He felt like he was being coaxed like a child, and he was very anxious, but she obviously didn't take it seriously.
Lin Xiuyan asked again: "What did you just bet with him?"
Fan Xilou replied: "Dice, compare the big and small, the bigger one wins."
Lin Xiuyan said: "Okay, I will also play dice with him and compare the points. The one with the bigger one will win."
She asked Li Gambling God: "What do you think?"
Li Gambling God made a gesture to Lin Xiu God: "Please!"
Someone had already reported the situation here to Zhou Chenyang in real time.
Zhou Chenyang laughed when he heard that Lin Xiuyan was going to compete with Li Gambling God: "You really overestimate your abilities!"
The person who reported the news said: "Isn't that right? God of Gambler Li's gambling skills are extremely high. No one in Yucheng has been able to beat him in the past few years!"
Zhou Chenyang's eyes were full of pride: "I originally thought that it would take several operations before I could take away the Lin Mansion's money."
"I didn't expect Lin Xiuyan to come to my doorstep, which saved me a lot of energy."
The messenger saluted Zhou Chenyang and said, "Congratulations to the city lord for getting what he wanted!"
Zhou Chenyang said proudly: "Go over there and keep an eye on it. If there is any movement, tell me as soon as possible."
The messenger responded and immediately retreated.
Zhou Chenyang poured himself a cup of tea calmly. He had the utmost confidence in Li Gambling God's gambling skills.
In his eyes, Lin Xiuyan had no other merits except being jealous and fighting.
He had also observed Lin Xiuyan for a period of time. She rarely entered gambling houses. How could such a person gamble?
He always thought she was stupid. This time she broke off the engagement with him, and he felt that he was swollen and could do anything!
Sure enough, she was extremely stupid.
If you want to cheat on things like dice, you can pour mercury into them.
But for their simple and straightforward bets, the bet cups need to be carefully inspected, and it is impossible to do anything open, so the competition is purely technical.
Lin Xiuyan and Li Gambling God each had a dice cup and started shaking it.
When the two of them shake to a satisfactory level, they place their respective dice cups on the table.
According to the rules, the two opened the dice cup at the same time.
Out of six dice, Lin Xiuyan only rolled out a six, and the rest were all small numbers.
And Li Gambling God is six six.
Li Gambling God smiled lightly and said: "Miss Lin, you lost."
"It doesn't matter." Lin Xiuyan said calmly: "Anyway, as I said, winning or losing will not be determined until the ninth round. It doesn't matter whether you lose or win in the previous games."
Gambling God Li saw that she was not affected by the outcome of this gambling game at all, so he looked at her deeply.
To a certain extent, betting on this matter is more about mentality.
As for Lin Xiuyan's calm and relaxed look, this mentality is considered very good for a gambler.
He glanced at Lin Xiuyan and made a gesture of invitation to her.
This time Li Gambling God still got six sixes, but Lin Xiuyan didn't get a single six this time.
She touched her hand and said, "I don't seem to be very lucky today."
"No, it doesn't matter. There are many more to come."
After she finished speaking, she said to Li Gambling God: "Continue."
After they played eight games in a row, Lin Xiuyan failed to win any of them, but she remained calm and composed.
