Manager Qian was extremely shocked!

He suddenly felt that he came at the wrong time!

What's happening here?

One is the ninth princess of Xingguo, and the other has risen from a loser to become the most famous talent in Xiling.

The princess and the talented scholar sat in this watchtower pavilion. There was no watchtower, nor were they appreciating the lotus flowers. Instead, they were expressing their deepest feelings to each other!

Bai Shaoqiu wants to write a letter to the Ninth Princess, and he wants to forward it through Ji Yanran, the most talented woman in Kyoto... Is this a way of expressing his love through the medium of a wild goose?

The Ninth Princess said she was waiting for him in Kyoto, hoping he would come soon, and that they would meet again...

Could it be that the Ninth Princess has taken a fancy to this kid?

This should be the case, otherwise how could the Ninth Princess force herself to start the gambling game that made her nervous!

But it was obvious that the Ninth Princess was not wrong!

She truly understands Bai Shaoqiu.

This kid really won the first place, causing countless families in Xiling City to go bankrupt, and his reputation soared overnight, and it would soon spread to Kyoto.

But Bai Shaoqiu is the son-in-law bestowed by the royal palace... What should Princess Changying do?

This is not something Qian Sheng can think about.

He silently took the teacup handed to him by Bai Shaoqiu, and drank the tea silently with his eyes and nose focused.

"Well, I'll try to go to Kyoto as soon as possible after I finish things here."

"Before I leave, I'll write you a letter to let you know the approximate time of arrival. But let's make it clear that after I arrive in Kyoto, you'll have to pay for all my expenses... You know I'm very poor."

Tang Xianxian immediately glared at Bai Shaoqiu, but there was no blame in her eyes, but rather a look of charm.

Manager Qian happened to look up and saw this, and his heart shuddered again.

"You're such a miser!"

"No, this is the shopkeeper Qian."

Hearing the Ninth Princess calling him, Qian Sheng quickly put down his teacup, stood up and bowed: "Please give your orders, Ninth Princess!"

"Let's calculate how much silver we can get from this bet."

"it is good,"

Qian Sheng took out a thin account book from his sleeve pocket, opened it, and placed it on the tea table:

"The gambling game has been going on for a little over two days, and Mr. Bai is betting on losing a total of 2,123,763 taels of silver."

"Betting on Mr. Bai to win... a total of 195,420 taels of silver."

Bai Shaoqiu suddenly looked up: "So many bets on me winning?"

Qian Sheng shook his head and smiled: "Not many people bought it, but the amount was huge!"

"Mr. Bai, please look. This 10,000 taels of silver was purchased on the first day of the gambling game, and this 50,000 taels of silver was purchased early in the morning on the second day."

"This last one was a full 100,000 taels of silver. Someone came to buy it before the auction closed."

"That's 160,000 taels of silver, and there's still over 30,000 taels of silver left... These are all retail investors, the ones who are optimistic about Mr. Bai winning the championship."

"According to the rules of this bet, if you bet on Mr. Bai to win, you'll get 10 to 1... This means you'll need to pay out 1,954,200 taels, leaving you with... 169,560 taels."

After a pause, Qian Sheng looked at the Ninth Princess and continued, "According to the original agreement, the three parties will share this silver... which is 56,520 taels."

"Your Highness's insight!"

"Mr. Bai... a genius!"

"I have already deposited your Highness's money directly into your account. As for Mr. Bai's money...you'll have to ask him to withdraw it from the bank or keep it in his account at the bank."

Tang Xianxian carefully looked at the account book, then raised her head and said angrily:

"I took such a huge risk, originally thinking I could earn a tidy dowry... Although I didn't lose money and even made a small profit, the bulk of the money went into someone else's pocket!"

"Boss Qian, who bought those two big ones?"

"This... Your Highness, I cannot tell you."

"You can't even tell me?"

Qian Sheng bowed and said, "This is the rule set by the Princess. Any business related to Jubao Bank must not be disclosed to anyone else."

"Your Highness, please understand. I dare not disobey the Princess's orders!"

"Okay, I won't make it difficult for you."

Tang Xianxian handed the account book to Qian Sheng and looked at Bai Shaoqiu, "I didn't expect this to happen."

No one expected this.

What can Bai Shaoqiu do?

It's more than two million taels of silver that you are willing to lose!

These are the normal people.

Which two crazy people spent huge sums of money to buy themselves to win?

If it weren't for those two large sums of silver, the profit would be nearly two million taels!

If the three parties divide it, it will be more than 600,000 taels!

With more than 600,000 taels of silver in his pocket, what's the point of writing a "Record of the Stone"?

This amount of money is enough for me to live a happy life in this world!

But now the real winner has become someone else...

Well, after all, I got more than 56,000 taels, which is a lot of money. It can be regarded as my first pot of gold since I came to this world.

He could only smile and accept his fate:

"At least we still have some money left. I'll go to the bank this afternoon."

Manager Qian pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Bai, it would be best if you go to the bank in a couple of days."

Bai Shaoqiu was stunned: "Why?"

"Well... when I arrived, the neighbors in Xiling City were quite excited."

"Many people in the streets and alleys were holding kitchen knives, bricks, and clubs... saying that Mr. Bai had been hiding his identity for ten years and setting up this scheme."

"What he said was a bit harsh, and his emotions were not very stable."

"The person they originally wanted to vent their anger on was Song Zigui. After all, they bet on Mr. Bai to lose because they believed Song Zigui was the one who won. But I heard they searched the whole city for him."

"The City Guard has also sent out a number of city guards to look for Song Zigui, but no one has found him yet."

"Xiling City is neither big nor small. I estimate that Song Zigui has probably left Xiling City."

Qian Sheng laughed:

"These people are unwilling to accept defeat and will always look for some excuse to vent their frustration."

"They might not dare to actually do anything to Mr. Bai, but if there are too many people, someone is bound to throw a brick or something."

"It would be bad if someone got hurt. After a couple of days, these neighbors will get over it and the matter will be over."

Older gingers are more spicy!

Qian Sheng’s words made sense, but Bai Shaoqiu still decided to go to Jubao Money House tomorrow.

I need money urgently!

Just bring your silly brother-in-law with you.

Seeing that there was nothing else for him to do here, Qian Sheng bowed again and said, "Your Highness, do you have any other instructions?"

"It's nothing. By the way, how many years has it been since you last returned to Kyoto?"

"Well... it's been eighteen years since I came to Xiling City."

"During these eighteen years, I have been summoned back to Kyoto three times by the Princess."

"Oh, I remember you have a grandson named... Qian Donglai? He seems to be about seventeen or eighteen years old now?"

Qian Sheng's face suddenly filled with a deep smile:

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. That's right."

"What is he doing now?"

"Return to Your Highness and help out at the Jubao Bank headquarters in Kyoto."

Tang Xianxian pondered for three breaths, "Okay, do you have any message for him? The Queen will leave for Beijing tomorrow."

"This……"

Qian Sheng was flattered and quickly bowed again: "If it is convenient for Your Highness, please tell my grandson... Get married and start a career. Get married first, then build a career. Don't be obsessed with account books all day long, don't just like to calculate. Grandpa, I am still waiting to hold my grandson!"

Tang Xianxian laughed and agreed.

Qian Sheng took his leave and left.

Bai Shaoqiu also planned to leave——

"Are you leaving again?"

"It's time to go back."

"install,"

"The slave is here!"

"Tell Commander Zhao to send Master Bai back."

"...I will go right away."

An also turned and left.

There were only two people left in the Watchtower Pavilion.

Tang Xianxian looked up and said, "Don't be nervous. Are you afraid that I will eat you?"

"I just have something else I want to tell you."
