The little village girl dressed as a disaster star led the whole village astray

The second floor is indeed different from the other floors. The large space is divided into several spacious private rooms. The rooms are only surrounded on three sides, and you can clearly see what's inside through the open side.

There is only a semicircular table in each private room, with the dealer standing on one side and eight chairs on the other side. As far as the eye can see, most of the private rooms are filled with eight people.

But there are no extra ones, unlike the first floor, where there are people watching besides betting.

Unlike the hustle and bustle on the first floor, the second floor is obviously much quieter.

Gu Jingzhi took Li Xi to a private room that was not full. There were two empty seats in the room, just enough for the two of them. Zhang Hao was waiting outside.

Their arrival and sitting down naturally attracted the attention of everyone at the gambling table. Their eyes did not stay on Gu Jingzhi for long, but instead looked at Li Xi a few more times.

After all, those who come to the second floor to play are all wealthy. Many of them wear silk and satin, and many of them wear gold and silver hair crowns, but not many of them are dressed as simply as Li Xi.

Li Xi looked down at her clothes and was silent for a moment. She didn't want to attract attention by dressing like this, but now it has had the opposite effect. If she had known... well, it would have been useless if she had known earlier. She didn't buy men's clothes the last time she went to Jinxiu Pavilion.

However, their eyes only stayed on Li Xi for a few seconds, and soon turned their gaze back to the gambling table.

When the dealer saw two new people sitting down, he lifted up the sieve and shook it a few times in various styles, then slammed it on the table, looking at everyone with a look full of temptation.

"Everyone, buy it and leave it!"

"Four hundred taels, I bet on big!" The person who spoke said this while throwing two silver bills into the circle where big was written.

"Small, small, this round must be small! I bet six hundred taels."

"Big! I'll go with Big, four hundred taels!"

"Five hundred taels! Small!"

As the selection decision is made, the silver bills are placed in circles symbolizing size.

Gu Jingzhi tilted his head to look at Li Xi. She was really staring at him. Gu Jingzhi pulled her hand and stuffed something into her hand.

Li Xi looked down and saw a banknote!

It's not that she was short of money, but the level of this place was far different from what she had imagined. She only brought fifty taels of silver this time, and thought it was more than enough, but when she saw them throwing silver bills and waste paper, she hesitated.

There shouldn't be a minimum consumption requirement for this second-floor box, right?

Just when I was thinking about asking Gu Jingzhi, he stuffed the banknote into my hand.

Li Xi counted the silver notes in his hand, ten in total, each worth two hundred taels.

Li Xi pulled out a note and solemnly placed it on the "big" circle. "Big, two hundred taels."

As soon as she said this, everyone at the same table looked at her at the same time. Li Xi couldn't help but roll her eyes. She was really impressed. Could it be that they still thought that two hundred taels was too little?

If these silver notes were not all worth two hundred taels, if they were any with a smaller denomination, she would never have spent two hundred taels of silver on gambling.

After all, it was not twenty cents, but two hundred taels, and her money did not come from the wind.

But Li Xi guessed wrong. They didn't think the money she bet was too little, but that it was too much.

The clothes Li Xi wore were similar to those worn by their servant. When they first saw him, they thought he had won money on the first floor and came to the second floor to see the world.

It's not like they haven't seen this before, but people like them tend to be more cautious. Two hundred taels is a lot of money for them. Most of those people started betting with fifty taels. Two hundred taels is very rare. They didn't expect that this man, who was dressed in rags, was so bold in gambling.

However, in their eyes, this kind of courage is derogatory.

If this gambling house didn't have so many rules, they wouldn't have allowed such a person of obviously low status to sit at the same table.

Li Xi didn't understand their psychology, or rather, she didn't want to figure them out at all. After throwing out the two hundred taels of silver, she waited for the dealer to open the cup.

Seeing that Li Xi chose the small number, Gu Jingzhi also placed a bet of two hundred taels.

Seeing that everyone at the gambling table had placed their bets, the dealer smiled and opened the cup, "Two, three, five, nine points, small!"

Li Xi's eyes lit up and he looked at Gu Jingzhi, "Did I win?"

Gu Jingzhi also tilted his head to look at her, "Yeah, I won."

Li Xi was naturally very happy. She collected all the banknotes pushed by the dealer, and Gu Jingzhi also returned his share to her.

Li Xi raised his eyes to look at him, "?"

"Just keep it." Gu Jingzhi saw Li Xi happily receiving the bill.

"Okay." If money was just a string of numbers, you might not have any idea about it, but when it is placed so clearly in front of you, the visual impact is still huge.

Next, Li Xi played a few more rounds. Maybe it was because of the novice protection period, she won all five rounds. Later, people in the room followed Li Xi to place bets, and the dealer who was shaking the cup had a black face.

Li Xi found it boring after playing a few games.

He glanced at Gu Jingzhi beside him and said, "Let's go, it's boring."

Gu Jingzhi had no secret about gambling, so when she said she wanted to leave, he stood up.

However, when the other gamblers saw that Li Xi was about to leave, they all tried to keep him.

"Hey, man, don't go, play a few more games."

"You are very lucky now. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again."

"Yes, this kind of luck doesn't always come. This kind of good luck is also natural."

"Stay and play two more games."

Naturally, they didn't want to let Li Xi leave. Before Li Xi came, they had wins and losses, but it was unclear how many losses they had. But after Li Xi came, except for the first two, they won three games in a row. Naturally, they hoped to press on with their victory.

Although they tried to persuade her to stay again and again, Li Xi had no intention of staying. To be frank, there was no point in winning all the time.

Li Xi ignored them and left with Gu Jingzhi.

After leaving the box, he saw Zhang Hao standing guard at the door. Li Xi took out two banknotes from a stack of banknotes in his hand and handed them to him, "Lieutenant General Zhang, these are for you."

"Ah?" Zhang Hao looked at Gu Jingzhi.

Gu Jingzhi glanced at him calmly and said, "Axi gave it to you, so just keep it."

"Yes, thank you Miss Li." Zhang Hao took it with both hands. After seeing the amount on the banknote, his pupils dilated. Four hundred taels!

This is more than his annual salary.

Zhang Hao put the banknote in his arms with trembling hands and kept it away, thinking, I can earn four hundred taels just by accompanying you on this trip, I should thank you more for such activities in the future.

"Want to watch again?"

Li Xi shook her head. Some things might make one curious before seeing them, but after seeing them, they seemed boring.

This is how Li Xi feels now. She was originally very excited about the gambling house, but now she is just indifferent.

"Then let's go back." They had breakfast a little late today, and now it was time for lunch.

"Well, let's go." Li Xi followed Gu Jingzhi and walked down the stairs.

Gu Jingzhi glanced at the third floor of the gambling house without leaving a trace, and left with Li Xi.
