Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

Chapter 23 Immortal Jump

Brother Li, tell me, what's the trick to make money quickly?

Now Mr. Hou is penniless and extremely poor. Li Xi's words are like a cat's paw, scratching his itch. Can they not arouse his interest?

Brother Hou, don't be anxious, drink first, and I will take you to make money later. Li Sixi said with a smile, an inscrutable and mysterious expression.

... Even though Hou Fangyu was impatient, he could only endure it. He was too embarrassed to push him any further, but he had no intention of drinking anymore.

Brother Hou, let's go and make a fortune. Li Sixi slowly drank a few glasses of wine and ate a few bites of food, which whetted Hou Fangyu's appetite. Then he threw down two ingots of ten-liang grain silver and pulled the impatient Hou Fangyu. Get up and leave.

Hou Fangyu happily followed Li Sixi around a few streets, and then got into an ordinary house.

There is a square table in the room. There are two porcelain bowls on the table. One holds a small bowl of white rice, and the other is turned upside down. On the table, there are also seven or eight piles of broken silver and even copper coins.

A dozen men of different looks crowded around the square table, each one excitedly shouting the words single and double, and the scene was a bit chaotic.

The upside-down porcelain bowl was turned over, and dozens of grains of white rice were placed underneath. Someone took a bamboo chopstick and counted the white rice grains on the table two by two, and finally there was a solitary grain of white rice left.

Those who bet on singles were beaming with joy and dancing with excitement, while those who bet on doubles were crying as if their parents had just died.

Although Hou Fangyu had never played this kind of thing, he could tell that these people were gambling. The gambling tools were a broken wrist and white rice grains. They only guessed the odd or even numbers, which was very simple.

Brother Hou, these fifty taels are for fun. If you win, you will be counted as brother Hou, and if you lose, you will be counted as brother. However, small gambling is good for pleasure, but big money will harm your health. Just accept it when you get good. Remember.

Li Sixi forced a cloth bag containing an estimated fifty taels of silver into Hou Fangyu's hand, and then took out fifty taels of broken silver to bet double.

While Hou Fangyu was still in a daze, Li Sixi had already won money, and five taels turned into ten taels.

Li Sixi did not take the money, but instead bet all on even numbers. In the blink of an eye, ten taels turned into twenty taels. He continued to bet, and twenty taels turned into forty taels.

Hou Fangyu clutched the money bag in his hand tightly, his heart was pounding, and his breathing became a little rapid and disordered unconsciously.

He had no interest in gambling before, but now he has seen Li Sixi effortlessly convert his five taels of capital into forty taels. He would be lying if he said he was not interested.

When his face turned red with nervousness and excitement, and he was hesitating whether to play, Li Sixi won three more games in a row, and his five taels of capital turned into three hundred and sixty taels of silver.

No more fun. Li Sixi smiled and put the three hundred and sixty taels of silver into a cloth bag, patted Hou Fangyu's shoulder and squeezed it.

Hou Fangyu knew in his heart that this was a reminder to him to remember what he just said, small gambling will make you happy, big gambling will harm your body, so just give up when you feel good.

He looked at the heavy bag of money in Li Sixi's hand and was extremely envious, and his heart was filled with warmth. This money was so easy to earn.

In the end, he couldn't restrain his inner impulse and wanted to make money. He finally found five taels of silver and imitated Li Sixi, betting on double.

It seemed that one breath was not enough, and his five taels of money turned into ten taels. He continued to bet on double, but only five taels of silver, and put the other five taels of silver into his purse.

The tall and thin man who was responsible for collecting and paying the money glanced at Li Sixi, his eyes full of approval.

He is played by Yu Wushang, the person sitting at the bank and counting grains of rice from the bowl is Wei Changlin, all the gamblers are played by warriors in golden robes, and the whole game of immortality is just a stupid bird like Mr. Hou.
