On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

The first floor of the casino was bustling with activity, like a seething ocean. Ever since the "Gambling King" sign had been prominently displayed, gambling experts from across Daqian had flocked to the area, each hoping to leave their own legacy at the gambling table.

Now is the audition stage. Anyone who pays a registration fee of ten taels of silver can participate in the competition. The registration period ends in the middle of the month. Once the deadline is up, a series of fierce elimination rounds will begin. In half a month, who will be crowned the first gambling king of Daqian? This is a matter of endless speculation.

In order to better manage the casino, Zhang Li carefully selected 20 beautiful maids a few days ago.

These women were all between sixteen and twenty years old, about 1.65 meters tall. Some were gentle and soft as autumn water, while others were lively and agile, as light as a swallow.

Their presence adds a touch of indescribable tenderness and elegance to the casino, making this gambling feast even more colorful and fascinating. It seems that every card fall is accompanied by their light smiles, making it even more exciting.

They are mainly responsible for providing tea to guests, taking guests to private rooms, and issuing numbers to guests. They are not responsible for the work of dealers.

In order to further satisfy the distinguished and demanding guests, Zhang Li spared no expense and hired four famous courtesans from Yanlai Tower, known as the "Four Golden Flowers".

These four beauties are not only stunningly beautiful, but also adept at using their wit and talents to accompany guests through nights of laughter and joy, making every moment around the gaming table filled with unforgettable warmth and fun.

If the guests have special needs, they only need to pay five hundred taels of silver to spend an ecstatic time with them in the box.

Lin Zhen did not plan to treat the chess and card Buddha to a feast in his own store.

We have finally invited the "true God" and we cannot let him be wasted.

So he took him out and headed straight for Yanlai Tower.

Just then, Zhang Li approached, her waist swaying gracefully like a willow branch in spring. She had carefully arranged her clothes, and her cheeks were still flushed with shyness. Catching sight of Lin Zhen, she glanced at him coquettishly, then whispered, "Where are you going?"

The chess and card Buddha stood aside, his eyes piercing as he carefully examined Zhang Li from head to toe, praising her constantly: "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, it's true that she's naturally beautiful. How lucky is the prince!"

Zhang Li was displeased with this undisguised gaze, but thinking that she was Lin Zhen's friend, she suppressed the discomfort in her heart and did not flare up.

Lin Zhen said, "I plan to take the master out for a drink."

Zhang Li was so surprised when she heard this that she said, "Ah? Monks are drinking wine?"

Is there any royal law?

Are there any laws?

The chess and card Buddha smiled and chanted a Buddhist name: "Beauty passes through my intestines, but remains in my heart. Believing in Buddhism and feasting on women are not in conflict."

"......" Zhang Li smiled awkwardly and said, "He is indeed a great monk."

"Then let's go." Lin Zhen smiled faintly and was about to leave with the chess and card Buddha, but he didn't expect that he would stand there motionless.

"Please stay, my lord."

"Hmm? You don't want to go?"

"Only the true Buddha and beautiful women in this world can never be wasted. I can go and enjoy the feast by myself. You should stay and spend more time with the female donor."

After saying this, the chess and card Buddha showed an obscene smile again, and then his dim old eyes turned to Zhang Li. With a bit of mischief and teasing, he slowly stretched out a hand towards her that was full of traces of time and as dark as a dead branch.

Zhang Li didn't understand what he meant for a moment, and looked at Lin Zhen blankly with confusion in her eyes.

The chess and card Buddha obviously had no intention of taking his hand away. Lin Zhen reacted and said, "Give him some money and let him go..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Li carefully took out a heavy ingot of gold from her embroidered purse and gently placed it in the palm of the chess and card Buddha.

The Chess Buddha took it with a smile, like a cunning vendor in the market, and habitually took a light bite with his teeth, then praised it endlessly: "Good stuff!"

"Well, for the sake of this ingot of gold, my lord." The Chess and Cards Buddha slowly took out a pill from his clothes and handed it to Lin Zhen with a sincere look: "This is the Pill of Purity of Mind and Absence of Desires. If you trust me, please take it. Within three days, any poison will be ineffective against you."

Lin Zhen's eyes were filled with doubt, but he still reached out and silently took the pill. Zhang Li was about to speak up to persuade him, but Lin Zhen gently waved his hand to stop her.

The chess and card Buddha threw the rag bag onto his shoulder and walked away singing: "Beat the drum quickly and beat the gong slowly, stop the gong and listen to the singing. All kinds of idle talk can also be sung, listen to me sing the Eighteen Touches..."

"Reach out and touch the hair on my face, dark clouds are flying in the sky. Reach out and touch the front of my head, the forehead is full and attractive..."

"Reach out and touch my thighs, they look like the white silk of a winter melon. Reach out and touch my white knees, they look like a plowing ox pulling up mud..."

"What kind of rogue monk is this! This is simply outrageous!" Zhang Li said angrily, hands on hips, her eyes full of dissatisfaction with the monk. "Prince, you must never have anything to do with him again in the future, lest you be led astray by him!"

"Hahahaha, I find this monk interesting." Lin Zhen smiled heartily, his eyes fell on the pill in his hand, but in the end he didn't have the courage to swallow it.

He wouldn't trust someone so easily.

Seeing that Lin Zhen seemed to be about to take it, Zhang Li was startled and quickly tried to dissuade him: "Sir, this thing of unknown origin must not be easily swallowed!"

"I know. I just think that this monk must know a lot of things. His purpose in coming to me is definitely not some damn Zoroastrianism. He must have other plans." Lin Zhen put the pill in his pocket and gave Hou Chun a look.

The latter understood and hurriedly followed the chess and card Buddha.

Lin Zhen turned around slowly, his deep eyes penetrating the bustling and noisy casino, as if he wanted to take in the entire prosperity.

The exclusive arena for the Gambling King Tournament was meticulously marked out, standing out like a noble estate, while the scattered gambling tables became the stage for the common people. Wealthy merchants and the children of prominent officials naturally enjoyed the privacy and luxury of the private rooms, away from the hustle and bustle of society.

Even with its clearly structured layout, the casino couldn't hide its crowdedness. Pretty maids, teapots in hand, nimbly weaved through the crowds like fish in a rapids; gamblers, desperate for relief, shouted and clashed with passersby, earning angry glances.

Seeing this scene, Lin Zhen smiled faintly: "It seems that we should consider expansion."

Zhang Li nodded slightly upon hearing this, her eyes gleaming with approval. "Indeed, our casino business is booming. I've been thinking about buying the tavern and a few houses next door and connecting them up so we can welcome more guests."

Hearing this, Lin Zhen's eyes flashed with a hint of grandeur, and he said with a smile: "Purchasing only a few houses is too petty, why not buy the entire street?"

"Ah?!" Zhang Li was so surprised when she heard this that her eyes widened and she said in disbelief, "Sir, this...isn't it a bit too big?"

Lin Zhen said as a matter of course: "We have plenty of money."

"You do have plenty of money, but you can't spend it like that. We don't have that many customers."

"Go upstairs and I'll tell you slowly."
