"Miao Miao, you said it yourself, gamblers have nothing." Duan Jiling reminded her anxiously.

Wen Zhimiao still looked unmoved: "That's just a normal gambler, but I'm different. I've always had good luck."

The man who was talking to Wen Zhimiao next to him looked at Wen Zhimiao and guessed from her appearance that she must be of extraordinary status.

So he continued to provoke Wen Zhimiao. Although it was a very crude trick, Wen Zhimiao still followed him like an idiot.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Duan Jiling followed her.

The two followed the man all the way and arrived in front of Zuishengmengsi Building. From the outside, the building looked like an ordinary restaurant, nothing special, but there were many people coming and going.

Once you go in, the scene is suddenly different. The lobby is decorated extremely luxuriously, with only a huge picture of a ferocious beast hanging in the middle.

Taotie.

How arrogant this is! It tells you clearly that once you enter this place, you can only enter and not leave.

Wen Zhimiao took a look at the Taotie picture, and then glanced at the various patterns and murals carved on the stone pillars and walls. They were indeed very good, and the person who made them was worthy of being called a master.

"This painting is nice, I wonder if you want to sell it." Wen Zhimiao asked arrogantly.

"Of course I'm selling this painting. I'll give you a ton of gold and you can take it away right now." A woman wearing an arm-baring outfit and a half-ghost mask appeared on the second floor and said to Wen Zhimiao with a smile.

The woman was wearing a grey tight-fitting outfit with many copper coins and strange runes painted on it.

She was wearing a copper coin bracelet on her wrist and holding a pipe between her fingertips, and was looking at Wen Zhimiao with a smile.

"This young lady, do you want it?"

Wen Zhimiao smiled and said, "Pretty sister, please don't make fun of me. If I spend a fortune to buy a painting like this, my mother will throw me into the lake to feed the fish. I dare not do that."

"Sister, just pretend you didn't hear the ignorant words I said just now." Wen Zhimiao said with a smile.

The woman jumped down from the high platform and landed in front of Wen Zhimiao. She slowly took a puff of cigarette and blew a smoke ring at Wen Zhimiao.

Wen Zhimiao took a few steps back: "My mother said that it is impolite to let people breathe secondhand smoke."

The woman was amused by her: "You are quite interesting, little guy."

Duan Jiling also laughed beside him.

"Okay, just call me Liu Niang. I'm the manager here. It's your fifteenth day of the lunar month, right? Are you here to have fun?" She reached out to lift Wen Zhimiao's chin.

Wen Zhimiao took a few steps back to avoid it.

Duan Jiling also reached out and grabbed Liu Niang's hand: "Since Sister said we are here for fun, why are you still treating us as a joke?"

She looked at Liu Niang with her beautiful eyes, and then let go of her hand.

Liu Niang laughed and said, "Yes, in that case, how about I play with you two little guys today? But the stakes are a bit high, starting at one hundred taels, how about that?"

Wen Zhimiao sighed, it was really big.

"Okay." She lazily flicked off the non-existent dust on her body, her eyes filled with a hint of provocation and eagerness.

"But before that, shall we eat some melon first?" Wen Zhimiao blinked at the traffic.

"Melon? What melon?"

"Gossip." Wen Zhimiao said with a smile.

Qian Liuniang glared at her unhappily and asked, "Whose spy is this?"

Wen Zhimiao waved his hands quickly: "No, no."

"When we two came here, we heard that the owner of the Qianjin Building in Fu'an City had defected from you? Is that true?" Wen Zhimiao asked curiously.

After hearing this, Qian Liuniang burst out laughing: "Is that all you want to know?"

Wen Zhimiao nodded vigorously: "Yeah, I'm curious."

"Have you been to Qianjin Tower?" Qian Liuniang looked at Wen Zhimiao with interest.

Wen Zhimiao shook his head: "I haven't been there, but I've heard of it. It's very famous. I've heard of it in Yunjing."

"Oh, the young lady is from Yunjing?" Qian Liuniang's tone was somewhat teasing.

Wen Zhimiao scratched his head: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Not much, it's rare." Qian Liuniang chuckled.

Wen Zhimiao looked at her again: "Sister Shuai, you haven't told me yet, right?"

"Yes, that was my eldest sister's ex-husband. He secretly learned gambling skills, took some gold and silver and ran away." Qian Liuniang did not hide it. After all, this was not an uncommon thing on this island, and many old people knew about it.

"Oh, Phoenix man? Unfaithful man?" Wen Zhimiao continued to ask.

Qian Liuniang laughed and said, "I know what a heartless man is, but what is a Phoenix man?"

"It's like a man who has no money and no ability but becomes rich by relying on a woman, and then starts to despise the woman. He comes from a poor family and becomes rich by gaining the love of a woman." Wen Zhimiao explained casually.

After hearing this, Qian Liuniang laughed and said, "That's true."

"His family was poor. He relied on his education to write some sad poems, which made my eldest sister fall in love with him to death." As Qian Liuniang said this, she shook her head in disdain.

Wen Zhimiao couldn't help but laugh: "I can do this too, handsome sister, do you want to hear it?"

Qian Liuniang waved her hand and said, "Little friend, please stop being jealous of me."

"Her jade-like face reflects the morning glow, and her heroic figure is naturally vigorous. Her brows hide heroic spirit, and her conversation and laughter move the world."

Wen Zhimiao gestured to her twice, then said seriously: "How can this be considered sour!"

Qian Liuniang couldn't help laughing: "Not bad, not bad, I'm not the one being praised."

Duan Jiling also echoed beside him: "Sister, you are joking. How can this not be a sister? Sister is naturally heroic. It can't be considered as praise. I am just telling the truth."

"Okay, you two little guys are really sweet-talkers. Let's go. The gambling table is ready. Don't you want to play?"

"But we have agreed that the minimum bet is 100 taels. If you regret or can't pay, I will throw you into the lake to feed the fish."

Wen Zhimiao chuckled and said, "Of course not. My mother said that the worst thing for a businessman to do is to be dishonest."

Chu Qiu frowned slightly: "Shao Ji, the stakes are too high, this..."

"Shut up! My mother asked me to deliver relief supplies. Now I have delivered them. I don't even have time to play." Wen Zhimiao glared at her in dissatisfaction.

Chu Qiu could only shut up.

Wen Zhimiao and Duan Jiling followed Duan Jiling to the second floor, which was the lobby of the second floor. There were no separate rooms.

Seeing Qian Liuniang coming, many gamblers gathered around curiously.

"Who are these two girls? How come they can have Qian Liuniang play with them personally?"

"I don't know. I just walked in by myself. I looked unfamiliar. I didn't recognize him."

"The jade pendant on that girl is Duan's jade pendant." Another person whispered.

"Duan family? Isn't the head of the Duan family dead?"

"The patriarch is dead, but it doesn't mean the Duan family is dead."

"That's true."

Wen Zhimiao pricked up his ears to listen to those people's discussion. It seemed that the Duan family was quite famous in this area.
