Chapter 366 Gambling Luck
Zhou Chang took out the banknote and prepared to place a bet.
After the three bowls were repositioned and the eyes were dazzled, one person bid for 20 taels of silver and was the first to shout: "This is the bowl, I saw it, this is it, this is it..."
The others also saw it clearly and followed suit and placed bets.
There were also those who didn't believe it or didn't see it carefully and chose one of the other two bowls blindly.
After most of the people had been chosen, Zhou Chang couldn't help but ponder in his heart.
The bowl with more bets must have no copper coins.
Then the remaining two bowls represent a 50% chance of winning.
It depends on the amount of money you bet on. The dealer wants to make money, so he only needs to bet on the group with the least amount of money and he will have a high probability of guessing it right.
Thinking of this, he placed a hundred taels of silver in front of the bowl with the least amount of silver.
"Buy it and forget it..." the dealer shouted.
Everyone stared at the three bowls with bated breath.
The bowl with the second most silver deposit had no copper coins.
Zhou Chang breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, the bowl with the most silver deposit was opened, and there were no copper coins.
Everyone was disappointed.
Zhou Chang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Congratulations, this noble lady." The banker said to her and presented her with a hundred taels of silver.
Zhou Chang turned one card into two, all based on guesswork and luck. He was just hesitating whether to gamble again when someone patted him on the shoulder from behind: "Hey, Prince Yi is here too. I thought that Prince Yi's mansion would only need your sister-in-law to represent you."
When Zhou Chang turned around, Prince Duan's chin almost hit his shoulder. He put the banknote into his arms and said, "Brother Prince Duan and Brother Prince Xian are here."
Behind Prince Duan followed the big-headed Prince Xian.
Prince Duan saw Zhou Chang's action of putting the silver in his pocket with his chin, and sneered: "Sneak...what? Prince Yi is really rich now, and dares to gamble with silver bills? It seems that those rumors are really true."
Zhou Chang smiled and didn't want to pay any attention to him, fearing that it would cause more trouble if he started to talk to him.
Although the West Hall is not big, there are quite a few people inside. Ever since Prince Duan came in, everyone's attention has been on them.
Prince Duan, on the other hand, acted as if no one was around and glanced up and down at Zhou Chang with his chin raised.
Prince Yi was at least half a head taller than Prince Duan. She only had to straighten her back and chest. If Prince Duan tried to sweep her by the chin, he would fail.
Prince Duan was frustrated by his failure, but he still refused to let it go: "Prince Yi seems fine. Those rumors about you being beaten into a pig's head after visiting a brothel seem to be untrue. And since you dared to gamble with banknotes, it shows that you lived a good life like that."
"What day is 'that kind of day'?" Prince Xian shook his pumpkin-sized head and imitated Prince Duan's tone, asking even though he knew the answer.
"Haha, Prince Xian also knows that. Prince Yi's princess comes from a wealthy merchant family. On the wedding day, the dowry brought into Prince Yi's mansion was so big that it couldn't even fit." Prince Duan deliberately emphasized the word "merchant."
Zhou Chang was so angry that he finally couldn't help but vent his anger. He put on a smug smile and said, "Why, what do you mean by saying this, brother Prince Duan? Are you jealous of your brothers?"
Prince Duan seemed to be in a good mood and not angry. He lowered his chin towards Prince Xian and said, "See what I said. He married his wife just for money. He is a disgrace to our royal family."
"Hmph, who knows who will be the one to be embarrassed?" Zhou Chang snorted coldly, and finally his face turned cold.
The scene suddenly froze.
"Oh, the three princes are all here." At this moment, Jiang Meng appeared out of nowhere and greeted them with a smile, "Why are you all standing there? Keep playing. Whether you win or lose today, it will all belong to my mansion."
With this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, pretended not to see it, and started moving.
Jiang Meng made a "please" gesture to the three people and said, "It is a great honor for the Jiang Mansion that the three of you can come here at the same time. It will take some time before we leave the table. Why don't you go to the main hall and sit for a while."
"Hmph..." Prince Duan snorted coldly and did not move.
Prince Duan did not move, and Prince Xian, despite being in a big position, did not express his opinion either.
Zhou Chang was quick to sense that Prince Duan was unwilling to go to the main hall, so he said in a sarcastic tone, "Brother Jiang, I'm sure Prince Duan is unwilling to go to the main hall. I'm also tired of looking at that red coral with the word longevity in it. Let's go to another place."
"What's there to brag about? It's just that I have a lot of silver." Prince Duan was sullen as Zhou Chang had guessed it right.
Zhou Chang felt a sour taste in his mouth and felt relieved. Suddenly, he heard the game of three bowls and one penny starting again. An idea suddenly occurred to him, "Since Brother Duan Wang is unwilling to move, do you dare to gamble with me here?"
"Gambling?" Prince Duan looked down on him, "That's just low-class stuff."
The impact of his words was so great that although no one dared to object, they were all hesitant to act.
Jiang Meng just wanted to smooth things over, but he didn't know what to say.
"Brother Prince Duan has played with many low-quality things, hasn't he?" Zhou Chang did not give him face. As early as in Prince Yi's memory, she already knew that Prince Duan liked this kind of things.
Prince Duan raised his chin, seeming to be moved.
Jiang Meng saw the signs and quickly tried to smooth things over: "Your Highness Prince Duan is talking about the life-and-death gambling in the casinos. As the saying goes, 'small gambling is good for the heart, big gambling is harmful to the body.' Today, all the guests are honored guests. They just get together for a little fun. It's naturally different from those low-class ones. Since Your Highness Prince Yi is interested in this, why don't you two play here to kill time? The banquet will be served soon."
Prince Duan realized something was wrong as soon as he said this. After Jiang Meng said this, he took the opportunity to make amends: "Mr. Jiang is right, but..."
"Since what you said is right, Brother Prince Duan, do you dare to play a game with me?" Zhou Chang's sudden confidence was mainly due to his memory of the viewpoint system.
Prince Duan did not answer because he had been unlucky recently.
Years ago, he had a big quarrel with Princess Qiu of Prince Duan because of buying a concubine at the music house, and then he was overshadowed by Prince Xian at the New Year's Eve banquet.
Later, he lost money at the wedding banquet of Prince Yi, and then went to the gambling house and lost a large sum of money.
I really don’t know if the bad luck these days has passed.
Xian Wang Feng Zheng used his big head to shake Duan Wang, rubbing his hands and ready to fight: "Brother Duan Wang, what's wrong? Are you afraid of my ninth brother? Just play around, don't be afraid, I'll bet with you."
"Don't... Brother Prince Xian, you have to think carefully. This is a bet between me and Brother Prince Duan. If Brother Prince Duan loses, you have to lose with him." Zhou Chang tried to stop him seriously. This was a bet set up to trap Prince Duan, so what would happen if one more person was added?
"I'm not afraid. It's nothing. The worst that can happen is that I lose a few taels of silver." Prince Xian shook his head, full of confidence, and glanced at Prince Duan. "Brother Prince Duan, you wouldn't even dare to do this, right?"
"It seems that Brother Duan Wang really doesn't dare to do it. So, even though people always say this and that about me..., it is definitely not my brothers who let me down at the critical moment." Zhou Chang gave King Xian a knowing smile.
"Stop talking nonsense and make a bet." Prince Duan knew that he was trying to provoke her but couldn't help himself. "What are you betting on?" "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, may you be reunited with your family and friends!"
