Chapter 90 Prepare 1 silver coins and send them to Prince Jing's Mansion
After getting up early in the morning and washing up, Xia Taoyuan was ready to leave. She couldn't wait to see Chu Xingluo. Just as she was about to get up, the little girl Dai'er ran upstairs and said, "Miss, Prince Jing is here."
Xia Taoyuan smiled happily when he heard that. The most beautiful thing in the world is that you want to see the person you think about day and night, and he is running towards you.
She ran downstairs like a flash. If it weren't for the little girls, she would have thrown herself into Chu Xingluo's arms. She stood firm, and Chu Xingluo was looking at her with a smile, his eyes full of love. The little girls walked away tactfully. Xia Taoyuan stepped forward and held Chu Xingluo's hand tightly, standing on tiptoe and whispering in his ear: "Lolo, I miss you so much!"
The tenderness in Chu Xingluo's eyes was so strong that it could not be dissolved. He lowered his head and whispered softly, "I miss you, too."
Xia Taoyuan was afraid that the little girls would suddenly come out, so she tried to restrain herself from hugging Chu Xingluo. She looked up and asked, "Are you free today?"
Chu Xingluo smiled and said, "I have to go to the Ministry of Justice in the afternoon. I have been busy lately and only have half a day to spare."
Half a day had passed, and Xia Taoyuan asked, "Where are we going?"
"Where do you want to go?" Chu Xingluo asked.
It was too rushed to go to Tao Tao Garden in only half a day. While thinking about it, Xia Taoyuan suddenly remembered that Mu Yun said that she would go to the casino again and win a lot of money. Although she was not a person who was greedy for small gains, it would be too disrespectful to Mu Yun's sincerity if she didn't take advantage of the opportunity that was delivered to her door. She immediately decided to go to the casino this morning and win tens of thousands of taels.
She asked Chu Xingluo to wait for her for a while, and called Yu'er to go upstairs with her. When she came down again, Chu Xingluo looked her up and down for a long time. He had heard Long Yanqingyun say that Xia Taoyuan dressed up as a man, but he had never seen it. Today he finally saw it. It turned out that his Taotao was also very decent when dressed up as a man. When he stood there, he looked like a young man full of vigor and vitality.
Chu Xingluo suppressed his smile, made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Mr. Tao, please!"
Xia Taoyuan burst out laughing and said, "Your Highness Prince Jing, you called me the wrong name. My last name is Yan and my first name is Qing. Do you remember it now?"
Chu Xingluo smiled and said, "I remember, Master Yan, please!"
The two of them left the prime minister's residence and walked to Jinshi Street. Along the way, Xia Taoyuan and Chu Xingluo talked about the origin of Yan Qing's name, which was from a novel. This man was extremely smart and clever.
Soon they arrived at Mu Yun's gambling house. There were still many people on the first floor, and the voices were noisy, with a few curses coming out from time to time. The two went up to the second floor, and from a distance Xia Taoyuan saw the black-faced man from last time, rolling the dice.
Xia Taoyuan pulled Chu Xingluo through the noisy crowd and walked to the table of the dark-faced man. The dark-faced man looked up and saw Xia Taoyuan, and was slightly startled. Then he recovered his composure and said expressionlessly: "Mr. Yan, long time no see!"
Although there was no emotion in his tone, it was much better than the last time when he was so tense.
Xia Taoyuan smiled slightly and said, "Brother Hei, long time no see!" Then he squeezed to the front of the table.
The black man glanced at Chu Xingluo next to him, and saw that this extraordinary demeanor was not something he could afford to offend. Moreover, Young Master Mu Yun had instructed that if Young Master Yan came again, he should deliberately lose to him. So he asked, "How much do you want to bet this time, Young Master Yan?"
Xia Taoyuan thought: Since Mu Yun said he would let me win, I will bet a little more. So he said, "I'll bet 500 taels this time." As soon as he said this, those who only bet 30 or 50 taels were shocked and gathered around.
The black man muttered in his heart, the young master said that he wanted Master Yan to win, but he didn't say how much he should win. This pretty boy bet 500 taels at the beginning. If he loses to him, what should he do if he bets more and more later? This kid is not only daring but also arrogant. If he wins this time, he will bet 5,000 taels next time. After all, he is the first person who dares to come to the Mu family casino with just a few stones.
The black man pondered for a while. If the loss was three or five hundred taels, he could make the decision, but if it was more than a thousand taels, he would have to ask for instructions. He stood up and clasped his fists, "Young Master Yan, wait a moment. I'll be back soon." Then he turned and left.
Xia Taoyuan turned to look at Chu Xingluo and asked him if he wanted to play. Chu Xingluo shook his head and said, "I don't know how to play. I just want to watch you play."
The dark-faced man told the waiter to ask Mu Yun for instructions, and then went upstairs. As soon as he sat down, he saw a waiter coming to the table with a tray. On the tray were some exquisite fruit and vegetable snacks and two cups of tea.
The big black man pushed the tray in front of Xia Taoyuan and said, "Please enjoy your meal first, gentlemen."
The onlookers had never been treated like this before. If they wanted to drink tea or eat snacks, they had to pay money. However, these two people looked extremely noble, especially the one standing there. It was understandable that the black man was a little timid.
Xia Taoyuan was not polite at all, he picked up a piece of dessert and started eating. The black man saw that it was a good opportunity to delay time. After Xia Taoyuan finished a piece of dessert and drank a sip of tea, he said: "Brother Hei, let's start!"
At this time, someone in the crowd said, "Young Master, you haven't paid yet!" People who often come to gamble know that according to the rules of the Mu family gambling house, you must put the money there when placing a bet.
Xia Taoyuan smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, big brother. I came down in a hurry and didn't bring any money. If I lose, I will send someone back to the mansion to get it. If I win, I will treat you all to a drink! I also ask you all to be witnesses. I bet five hundred taels this time."
Everyone was very excited when they heard this. After all, they were betting five hundred taels, and the young master would treat them to drinks if he won. They all urged the black man to open the game quickly.
The black man cursed inwardly, "Humph! He's trying to get something for nothing again. The young master owes this guy a huge favor."
The big black man shook the dice with both hands. Da-da-da, three dice fell on the table, one two and two one. Some of the onlookers cheered, saying that Xia Taoyuan would win no matter which dice he threw.
Xia Taoyuan smiled secretly, thinking that Mu Yun had told the black man. She grabbed the dice, shook them, and threw them. Three, four, and five, and the crowd cheered. Xia Taoyuan turned her head and winked at Chu Xingluo, who was full of doting.
The dark-faced man remained expressionless, and ordered the waiter to bring five hundred taels of silver and push it in front of Xia Taoyuan. The onlookers stared in amazement.
The dark-faced man spoke up: "Mr. Yan, how much do you want to bet next time?"
Xia Taoyuan thought for a while and said, "Five thousand taels!" Chu Xingluo almost laughed out loud behind him. This was an exorbitant request.
The onlookers were all excited. Some said, "It's obvious that this young master is not an ordinary person." Others said, "This young master is very courageous and can be considered a man who will do great things!" And so on.
Sure enough, this Yan guy is not a pushover. He dares to bet 5,000 taels if he wins 500 taels. The young master hasn't replied yet, and the dark-faced man is getting impatient. He looks towards the stairs from time to time.
Xia Taoyuan saw his predicament and said with a smile, "Brother Hei, have a cup of tea first." Then he pushed the untouched cup to the black man.
At this time, a young man came running over and whispered something in the black man's ear, and the black man's expression visibly returned to calm.
He raised his hand and said, "Master Yan, you go first."
Xia Taoyuan grabbed the dice and threw them. The dice landed steadily, one, two, three, very small numbers. Some shook their heads, some sighed, and most people were sweating for her. Only Xia Taoyuan remained as steady as a rock with a smile on her face. She believed that the black man had a way to throw a smaller number, one, one, two, or one, two, two.
The black man picked up the dice, shook it over and over again, and finally threw it. The dice landed steadily, one dot, two dots! The crowd burst into cheers, and everyone congratulated Xia Taoyuan.
The dark-faced man suddenly asked, "Master Yan, do you want to take the five thousand taels away now or send them to your house?"
Xia Taoyuan laughed and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Remember it first and try again!"
The black man didn't say anything. After all, the young master had told him to win three rounds and win 18,000 taels, and then he could find a random excuse to say he didn't have the money. He thought the young master was crazy when he said 18,000 taels. But then, he felt that the young master Yan in front of him was even crazier than the young master. He actually wanted to bet 500,000 taels!!!
Not only did he think Yan Qing was crazy, but the people watching all thought Yan Qing was crazy, as if they had seen something horrifying, and they all opened their mouths and eyes wide.
Chu Xingluo was also a little surprised when he heard this. Five hundred thousand taels was not a small amount. But he did not stop it. Not to mention that Mu Yun said that Taotao would win, even if Taotao really lost, he would find a way to make up for it.
The dark-faced man swallowed his saliva and opened his mouth several times, but still couldn't say anything. He wanted to get up and ask the waiter to find Mu Yun, but he saw that Mu Yun had already walked over. It turned out that he followed after hearing the waiter's report. He sat down heavily on the chair again.
Mu Yun had obviously heard it, and walked to Xia Taoyuan with a wry smile, saying, "Mr. Yan is kind-hearted, don't scare my men."
Xia Taoyuan looked at Mu Yun and said with a smile: "Then go back and tell your father to control your sister's stinky mouth!" She originally had no feelings towards Mu Yanran and her gang, but now she hates them more and more.
When these words were spoken, everyone couldn't help but gasp. Who was this young man? He actually spoke to Prime Minister Mu's son in such a tone.
Mu Yun laughed and said, "It's rare that Brother Yan is in a good mood. Why don't you honor me and have a gathering at the Yingbin Building?" He didn't respond to Xia Taoyuan's words. He was afraid that if he did, Xia Taoyuan would keep on talking about it, so he had to change the subject.
"Then that's not necessary." Xia Taoyuan looked at the five hundred taels in front of her, stood on a chair and counted the number of people. Excluding her, Chu Xingluo, Mu Yun, the big black man, and the waiter, there were twenty-one people on the second floor.
She jumped off the chair, took five ingots of fifty taels of silver, and said to the crowd, "Brothers, each of you has ten taels, you can change them among yourselves, don't fight. For the remaining forty taels, let's go and drink."
The crowd cheered.
Xia Taoyuan took one of the remaining five silver ingots and pushed it in front of the black-faced man, saying with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Hei!"
The dark-faced man was somewhat flattered. He took it with both hands and said, "Thank you, Master Yan!"
She would take the remaining two hundred taels for future use. But she did not forget that she had won five thousand taels. She looked at Mu Yun and said, "Mr. Mu, send the remaining silver to Prince Jing's Mansion!"
Everyone suddenly understood. No wonder this young master was so rude to Mu Yun. It turned out that he was from Prince Jing's Mansion. However, the people from Prince Jing's Mansion were really good. They even rewarded them with ten taels of silver each.
After hearing what Mu Yun said, he looked at Xia Taoyuan meaningfully. Xia Taoyuan understood what he meant. He wanted to say that she hadn't even gotten married yet, but she was already busy going to Prince Jing's Mansion.
Xia Taoyuan glared at him and said, "Is it your business?"
Mu Yun couldn't help but click his tongue twice, then said to the black-faced big man, "Prepare ten thousand taels of silver and send it to Prince Jing's Mansion!" The black-faced big man widened his eyes in astonishment. Wasn't it five thousand taels? How did it become ten thousand taels?
Xia Taoyuan raised an eyebrow at Mu Yun and chuckled, "Thank you, Mr. Mu!"
