A blessed wife leads her husband to wealth and prosperity!

If you ask Lai Bao if he regrets it now, looking back, he really does regret it!

How could I have given the young master this idea? Now I've been forced to reveal it. I wonder what these two will do to the young master when I see him!

Wen Yuning and Meng Xing, carrying Lai Bao, left the alley, found a carriage, and headed straight for the gambling den in the south of the city.

In the carriage, Wen Yuning looked at the servant sitting opposite her and, taking advantage of the moment, asked the question that had been bothering her.

Tell me why you tampered with my things.

Lai Bao opened his mouth, but instinctively didn't want to continue the conversation.

Hey kid, answer me right now, haven't you had enough of what it's like to suffer?

When Meng Xing saw that the man in the car didn't answer his question, he thought that he would have to teach him a lesson himself.

Upon hearing the man's reprimand beside him, Lai Bao's body immediately trembled as he responded to Wen Yuning.

This is a long story, and it all started when we arrived in the prefectural city.

Lai Bao has completely given up. He's been keeping this to himself for a long time, and now that he's been forced to talk about it, he's actually starting to feel the urge to confide in someone.

Looking back now, it seems the young master has probably fallen into someone else's trap.

Actually, Lai Bao and the young master had already found a place to stay in the city a few days in advance before coming to the prefectural city for the exam.

When Chen Zicong first arrived a couple of days ago, he was able to stay in his room and read every day. But later, he probably got tired of reading and wanted to go out and relax. So he took his servant out of the courtyard to see the prosperity of the city.

The two strolled around the city and found it to be a wonderful place with all sorts of food, drinks, and entertainment.

Chen Zicong felt that his family was quite wealthy, so he took Laibao to visit many places he had never been before.

This includes gambling dens.

The master and servant hadn't originally planned to go to the gambling den, but they bumped into someone on the road by chance. The person didn't hold it against them, only saying that if he hadn't been in a hurry to make money, he would have made Chen Zicong compensate him today.

Chen Zicong saw that the person who was hit was dressed in fine clothes, had a dignified appearance, and spoke with erudition, and immediately felt the urge to befriend him.

Brother, please wait a moment. I'm so sorry for bumping into you. To make amends, I'd like to invite you to have a drink at the restaurant up ahead. How about it?

The man turned around and looked Chen Zicong up and down, then said he didn't need it, that he didn't have time today, and suggested another day.

After saying that, he was about to leave, but Chen Zicong, seeing how hurriedly he was leaving, asked again, "Brother, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Ugh, aren't you annoying? You've delayed my money-making trip. If I'm late, I'll lose a lot of money today.

Making money? Where to make money? Chen Zicong became even more interested when he heard the word money.

Brother, could you take me with you? I'm having a really lucky day, I've run into something so wonderful.

Shh, you misheard me. I didn't say anything. Now you'd better get out of here!

The man seemed very afraid of others knowing where he was making money, so he just kept his head down and walked quickly forward.

After the man left, Chen Zicong became very curious, wondering what kind of money-making scheme he had up his sleeve. He stared at the man's back for a long time.

Just as they were about to lose sight of each other, he lifted his foot and followed slightly behind the person in front of him, heading into an alley.

After walking for a while, it seemed that no one in front of him had noticed him, and Chen Zicong felt a surge of secret joy.

If you didn't bring me along, I'll follow you and see where you're making your money.

After the two turned into another alley, the young man in fine clothes went directly into a house with a curtain hanging on the door.

They went in? What's inside?

Chen Zicong watched as the person went into the house, and for a moment he was unsure whether he should follow them in.

Young master, that person is acting very mysteriously. We don't know what he does. Let's hurry up and go. We've been out for a long time, and you haven't read your book yet!

When Lai Bao saw his young master chasing after people all the way here, he felt that something was strange about what was going on today, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was strange about it. He could only advise his young master to go back.

"Lai Bao, let's go in and take a look." Chen Zicong was really curious about what the other party had just said. He acted impulsively and lifted the curtain to go inside.

Once inside, they realized what this place was—a small casino.

Despite its small size, the place was packed with people. They moved back and forth at the only two tables in the room, occasionally taking out silver coins to place bets.

At this moment, Chen Zicong saw that the young man in fine clothes from before had also sat down at the table and was taking out a lot of silver from his body and placing it on one of the tables.

Just as the waiter at the table was about to open a dice cup, the richly dressed man sitting at the table stared intently at the cup lid and shouted, "Big! Big! Big!"

The atmosphere at the gambling table was unprecedentedly enthusiastic, with everyone shouting. As everyone waited anxiously, the waiter finally activated the spell, and the bets were placed! Big!

It's big, it's big! Haha! I guessed right again!

"Hey buddy, all of this is mine now," the richly dressed young man said, grabbing all the silver coins on the table and putting them in front of him.

When Chen Zicong saw the young man in fine clothes doing this, he remembered what the man had said on the street and felt that the description was too apt.

Isn't this just a way to make money?

For a moment, Chen Zicong felt a surge of excitement and wanted to try his luck.

Lai Bao followed the young master inside and discovered it was a casino. He was so frightened that he quickly tried to pull the young master out.

Young master, let's go. This is not a place for us.

Chen Zicong couldn't hear what the servant was saying at this moment; he just stared at the richly dressed young man on the table, wondering if the other party would continue to place bets.

The young man in fine clothes looked up at the people around him, then pushed the silver he had just received back out.

Let's play one more round.

As he spoke, he pushed all the silver coins together. "I'm betting small this time. Is there anyone who can get rich with me? My luck is still so good today, haha!"

He laughed loudly as he spoke.

Me too, me too! This kid's been incredibly lucky lately, he must have won a lot of money here.

At this moment, Chen Zicong saw several people following the young man in placing bets.

Hearing that the young man had been having good luck, Chen Zicong, who had somehow gotten to the table, also took out two taels of silver and decided to try his luck with the young man.

"Let's get started, guys!" Everyone urged the waiter at the table to shake the dice. Even Chen Zicong had his eyes glued to the dice cup on the table.

Once the bet was placed, the waiter shouted and began shaking the dice cup with both hands.

After shaking it up, down, left, and right for a while, he suddenly slammed the dice cup down on the table with both hands.

"Open! Open! Open!" everyone shouted in unison.

The waiter smiled at everyone and shouted, "Open the dice cup, place your bets!"

Small!

Ah, it really is small. Chen Zicong didn't expect that he would actually earn money. He excitedly stepped forward to ask for the money he had won.

In just a short while, those two taels of silver, after going through a series of transactions, became five taels in his own hands.

Five taels of silver, although it doesn't seem like much to me, is money coming in so fast!

In just a short while, the price of silver doubled. How many people could resist such a rapid pace of making money?

Chen Zicong continued to bet with the young man in front of him, and he won every time. When he came out of the gambling den, he had twenty taels of silver in his pocket.

The richly dressed young man in front of him had won even more, having already exchanged his silver for banknotes and stuffed them into his pocket.

Brother, thank you so much for today. If I hadn't come here with you, I wouldn't have gotten so much money. This time, don't try to refuse me again; I absolutely have to treat you to a drink.

You're quite clever, kid. You actually followed me all the way here. It's your turn to make a fortune, haha!

The young man in fancy clothes wasn't angry that someone was following him; instead, he generously agreed to Chen Zicong's invitation to have a drink together.

The two emerged from the alley and found a nearby restaurant, where Chen Zicong eagerly struck up a conversation with the other party.

After a few drinks, the two were chatting animatedly, addressing each other as brothers.

"Brother, don't worry, follow me. You'll have plenty of opportunities to make money in the future. I'm doing just fine here. It's a family heirloom skill." The man in fine clothes pointed to his ear, and Chen Zicong immediately understood that the Zhang brother he had met today possessed the rumored ability to identify objects by their voices.

With such abilities, wouldn't this person be able to dominate the casino? I'm so lucky to have met such a master.

For a moment, I felt like I had hit the jackpot.

The two drank quite a bit more afterward. Zhang Binjie only said that he would gamble a few more times in the next few days and then stop going to that casino, so that if he stayed in one place for too long, the casino would stop welcoming him.

If your younger brother wants to earn some travel expenses, he should come to Ruyi Garden in the south of the city to find me in the next few days.

"Okay, okay," Chen Zicong immediately agreed when he heard that his older brother was willing to take him along.

In the following days, Chen Zicong followed Zhang Binjie and won big at the casino, winning a lot of money.

Only on the last day, when the exam was approaching, did Chen Zicong want to stop.

Zhang Binjie also said that he had something to do in the past few days, and asked his younger brother if he still wanted to go with him for a big gamble.

Chen Zicong had been out of his mind these past few days and immediately agreed. Under Zhang Binjie's persuasion, he bet all the money he had brought with him, plus the money he had won in the past few days, on the casino.

This time, however, Zhang Binjie seemed to have made a mistake. At first, the two of them were making money steadily, just like before. But on the last occasion, Zhang Binjie pushed all his money out, just like before. Chen Zicong also numbly followed suit and placed all his money on the bet.

Their good fortune seemed to vanish in an instant; Zhang Binjie must have misheard, and they lost all their savings.

Chen Zicong looked at all the wealth he had brought with him, which had all gone down the drain, and felt as if the sky had fallen!

"What should we do? What should we do?" Chen Zicong asked the person next to him.
