My husband, please respect yourself. The princess is here to grab the bride.

This was said suddenly.

Qing'er was stunned and looked around, but didn't see the package full of loose change.

She glanced at Bai Shaoqiu and wondered if he had spent all the money so quickly?

What private money of mine are you trying to take?

She shook her head: "Where would I, a servant, have any personal money?"

"Oh……"

"Forget it, you go back first."

Qing'er left and missed out on a windfall.

……

Another night passed.

When the sun was high in the sky, Bai Shaoqiu had just arrived at the fifth floor, and Tang Xianxian also went upstairs with An.

She was still wearing a face scarf and a long white dress, but it was obviously different from the one she wore yesterday.

The hem and cuffs of this long dress are embroidered with light ink cloud patterns.

The belt was also changed to white, and a dark green jade gourd was hung on the belt.

The hairpin on her head was replaced with a silver hairpin, and the ears were decorated with a pair of flawless pearl earrings.

What remains unchanged is the girl's figure——

She is not too tall.

Probably about 1.6 meters tall.

But her curvy figure, coupled with this elegant and noble outfit, makes her look particularly exquisite!

Correct,

Before seeing her face, the word "exquisite" came to Bai Shaoqiu's mind!

This girl is the first person in the world who believes in herself——

There's something weird about this feeling.

It’s so easy to cheat!

Could this be what it means to have big breasts and no brains?

But it was precisely because of her unhesitating trust that Bai Shaoqiu regarded her as the first confidant in the world that could be cultivated!

Of course, we are still far from being close friends.

This did not prevent Bai Shaoqiu from being happy to meet her.

“Mr. Bai…!”

Tang Xianxian was also more relaxed than before. She walked over happily and said, "The big deal we discussed yesterday, I, Miss, have already completed it!"

When these words came out, Bai Shaoqiu looked at her with new eyes——

It sounds simple to set up this gambling game for the Zhuxi Literary Society, but it is not easy to make the people of Xiling City believe that the dealer has enough compensation ability!

He knew that this girl was of high status, but he still didn't know to what extent.

As a girl, it's not appropriate for her to show up in public for such a matter, so she must find someone reliable...

Judging from her accent, she is not from Xiling City.

Then the person she is looking for must have great prestige in Xiling City.

This person also needs to have the financial resources to convince everyone in Xiling City!

Originally, the best dealer in this business was the Wang Mansion!

But the first thing Bai Shaoqiu gave up was the palace—

How could the prince and princess believe that he had the ability to win the first prize in the Zhuxi Literary Competition?

Even if I wrote some shocking poems in front of them, they would not believe it!

They'll think they copied it from somewhere!

They might even scold themselves!

Because even if a sparrow flies onto a branch, it cannot turn into a phoenix.

Even if a snake swims into a river, it cannot turn into a dragon.

Anyone with a little common sense would not and would not dare to be the banker and win for himself!

The only exception is the silly girl in front of me!

Bai Shaoqiu immediately laughed.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Manager Qian of Jubao Bank!"

Bai Shaoqiu was stunned for a moment. Jubao Money House is the largest money house in Xingguo!

It is said that it has many branches, almost covering all major counties in the country.

In the past, the Bai family’s money also came in and out of Jubao Money House, and the shopkeeper Jin knew him... they knew each other!

He was as cunning as a monkey. How could he possibly believe that a loser from Xiling City could win the championship at the Zhuxi Literary Competition?

Perhaps she had seen the doubt in Bai Shaoqiu's eyes. Tang Xianxian stood on tiptoe with her hands behind her back, raised her neck proudly and said:

"I didn't reason with him!"

"So what did you say?"

"Ah... I'll talk to him about the rules!"

"……rule?"

Tang Xianxian twisted her body like a proud peacock and said, "Let's not talk about this. Anyway, he has agreed to spread the news today."

"The Zhuxi Literary Festival is in three days. I think... everyone in Xiling City will go crazy during these three days!"

"whee,"

Tang Xianxian's eyebrows curved, "You say... if the Zhuxi Literary Competition finally reveals that you are the winner..."

"Everyone in Xiling City lost money. What kind of expressions would they have?"

Bai Shaoqiu pondered for three breaths:

"I'm worried they'll beat me to death!"

"Who dares!"

Tang Xianxian's face turned serious, like a tigress protecting her cubs: "If you are willing to accept the loss, how can there be no law?"

"No...what if they suddenly come up with something, An,"

An stood behind Tang Xianxian, feeling uneasy.

"The slave is here!"

"Go tell Zhao Poshan later that the Zhuxi Literary Festival is over. He must ensure the safety of Mr. Bai and send him back to the palace safely!"

An bowed: "I will remember this!"

Tang Xianxian came to the desk and looked at Bai Shaoqiu again:

"By the way, the money earned will be divided into three parts... and the shopkeeper Jin should take one of them!"

"Rules are rules, but we also have to be reasonable."

"You and I will each take one. I'll accept it on your behalf. Do you have any objections?"

This girl acts decisively.

"How could I object? It's settled... I'm going to read, girl..."

Tang Xianxian stood up and said, "Read your book. I'm here to read too!"

"……it is good!"

The fifth floor of the library became quiet.

Bai Shaoqiu really started reading as usual. Tang Xianxian also took a book from the bookshelf, but she didn't read it.

She was watching Bai Shaoqiu reading.

Bai Shaoqiu scanned the books one by one very carefully.

Tang Xianxian looked at Bai Shaoqiu with joy in her eyes and her thoughts a little wandering.

An's heart skipped a beat again.

Your Highness... it's going to be bad!

The atmosphere here is quite subtle, but they don't know that Xiling City is already in chaos!

……

……

"What? Jubao Money House is going to start a gambling game for this Zhuxi Literary Gathering?"

"Yes, that's what Shopkeeper Qian said himself! Now the details of the gambling game have been posted all over the streets of Xiling City!"

"How do you open it?"

"Betting on the winner of this literary gathering!"

"Song Zigui from Xiling Academy won the championship. Winning is 2 to 1, losing is 4 to 1."

"Master Qi of Changxing Academy, Qi Shaotong, won the championship. If he wins, he'll get three to one, and if he loses, he'll get three to one."

"Zhuo Yixing from Changning Academy won the championship. Winning is 4 to 1, losing is 2 to 1."

"These are the odds... Who are you betting on to win?"

"Don't worry, brother. Jubao Bank has even given us a strange payout!"

"What are the odds?"

"Bai Shaoqiu wins the championship... Win, 10 to 1, lose... 10 to 1!"

"...Bai Shaoqiu? That useless Bai Shaoqiu?"

"Shh, keep your voice down, I'm the prince's son-in-law now!"

"No, this means that if we bet ten taels of silver and Bai Shaoqiu loses, Jubao Bank will compensate us with one tael of silver?"

"You're right. I asked twice and it's true!"

"Then why are you still hesitating? I'm definitely betting on Bai Shaoqiu to lose. Why would he win the championship?"

"Right, right, right. Even though the odds are low, it's a sure thing!"

Everyone laughed.

The entire Xiling City was laughing.

The residents of Xiling City were even happier than during the Chinese New Year—

Mr. Qian, the manager of Jubao Money House, is a very kind person!

This is clearly inviting everyone in the city to pick up silver!

What are you waiting for?

People put down their work, took out the silver they had saved at home, and flocked to the Jubao Money House.

There were a row of tables outside the money shop, and all the clerks in the money shop were busy at the tables, collecting gambling money and handing out a gambling receipt to those people.

Zhou Quan, the palace's chief steward, was also in the crowd at this moment.

He stood for a long time and listened for a long time.

He went to the case and saw that Bai Shaoqiu, who had bought 1,000 taels of silver, lost.

After thinking about it, he bought another thousand taels.

After putting the bet certificate into his arms, he excitedly went to the palace with a few servants.
