It is not a profitable gambling game in the first place, so it is naturally impossible for people to place such a large bet at will. The maximum is only one hundred taels, and no more.
The three girls each paid one hundred taels of silver to bet Zhuo Jiu, and then left happily with their tickets.
Princess Su Wan and Princess Rujin came forward. When the man saw these two people, he clasped his fists and bowed with a smile and said hello: "The two princesses are also here to see the excitement? But do you want to place a bet?"
Princess Rujin smiled and shook the handkerchief in her hand: "Look at the excitement. The person next to me heard about this and didn't care enough to place a bet. You can only bet a hundred?"
That man was also a child of an aristocratic family. Hearing what Princess Rujin said, he understood clearly and smiled kindly: "So Princess Wenxiao is here to place a bet for Mr. Li. How much does the princess want to bet?"
Su Wan was not at all embarrassed and asked with a smile: "Since one person can only bet a hundred, and there is no rule that only the master can bet the people around him, look at the few I brought here, are they all okay? "
"Since the princess has said so, of course it's okay." The man counted the number of people, then quickly wrote a few vouchers, asked a few people's names, and quickly made several one-hundred-tael vouchers. By ticket.
Su Wan asked Xiao Sang to pay, which happened to be six hundred taels of silver.
Six hundred taels was just a small amount of money, but Princess Rujin did not argue with her. They each took the tickets and then went to the waterside pavilion where the girls were staying. At this time, the girls were eating, talking, and observing. Movement on the other side.
"Princess Rujin and Princess Wenxiao are here."
I don't know who said it, and the girls in the waterside pavilion reacted and started to stand up and salute. Princess Rujin stopped her with a smile: "Don't be too polite. I am also here to watch the fun. Just give me a place to sit."
Upon hearing this, the people present immediately vacated the two best seats.
"Two princesses, please sit over here, please sit over here."
Princess Rujin smiled: "Then I won't be polite."
With that said, she and Su Wan walked to the two seats and sat down. Su Luo quickly sat down next to Su Wan.
"Sixth sister, you just made a bet, and I made a bet for my brother-in-law!" After saying this, Su Luo still felt a little hurt. She actually felt that Mr. Zhuo was going to win, but the other party was her brother-in-law. Just for the sake of Sixth Sister, I have to take him into custody.
She tugged at her sleeve and asked: "Sixth sister, do you think my brother-in-law can win? I bet a hundred taels. It took me half a year to save so much..."
Su Luo had saved a lot of good things, which were given by Wang, Su Xun and Li, and Su Wan, but she didn't have much money in her hands. Li would give her some occasionally, but not by Su Luo. Not much, other than that is the monthly money from the government.
And she won't save on her own expenses. If she breaks it down, she really has to save one hundred taels for half a year.
Su Wan ruffled her hair: "Okay, okay, if you win, the money will be yours. If you lose, Sixth Sister will pay for it."
Su Luo's eyes lit up when she heard this, as if a flower suddenly came to life. She pulled Su Wan's sleeve and said happily: "Really? Thank you, Sixth Sister!"
"You!" Su Wan stretched out his hand to straighten her hairpin, "But just this time, you have to think twice before doing anything in the future. You have to know how many things you have in your hands, and you must not throw them away all at once. It’s safe to leave at least half of it.”
Su Luo understood and nodded obediently: "A Luo understands, I won't do it next time."
While the two were talking, the other side suddenly let out a burst of exclamation. The girls present heard it and looked towards the other side.
"Wonderful! This is so wonderful. If this happens, the situation may be reversed again."
"No, I originally thought Master Zhuo was in sight of victory, but I didn't expect it to turn around again!"
"This is not the first time, this is the third time. Every time I thought Mr. Zhuo was going to win, the situation has reversed again."
Zhuo Jiu's layout is really powerful. If this chess game is like a battlefield, he can be regarded as a powerful commander, strategizing and using troops like a god. If he and Song Zhan played, Song Zhan probably would not be his opponent, but he met Li Lin .
Marquis Wen Si is also very powerful and has taught his grandson very well, but no matter how powerful he is, he is just a person.
Li Lin learned to play chess from Li Yijun when he was five years old, and his master was one of the most talented people in the future. He was born through fighting among those masters. He had never seen any chess pieces. He had turned this chess game over and over countless times. .
When he was ten years old, he was on par with his father.
So no matter how Zhuo Jiu lays it out, the chess game is still under his control, just like Sun Wukong tossing and turning, he can't turn the palm of Tathagata Buddha's hand.
However, he didn't deliberately think about what kind of game to set up. He just let Zhuo Jiu play his best, and he also placed his own chess pieces on his chess game. If Zhuo Jiu didn't pay attention, he would be counterattacked.
Zhuo Jiu was also smart. He reacted quickly and regrouped to continue the layout.
When the chess game changed three times in a row, there was already some sweat on Zhuo Jiu's forehead. He took out a thin white handkerchief and wiped it, drank another cup of tea, and looked at the black and white chess pieces on the chess board. It was a sigh.
"Brother Jingyuan is a superb chess player, but he is far inferior to me." Zhuo Jiu knew in his heart that he was probably going to lose this game. Not to mention that the situation was not good for him. Now he was also a little confused. He really didn't know what to do. How to get down.
After thinking about it, instead of losing in embarrassment in the end, it would be better to just admit defeat and save some face.
"I surrender this round."
Li Lin didn't embarrass him and said with a smile: "Brother Wen Li gave in humbly."
"No, it's me who lost. If you lose, you lose. There's no need for humility. I spent twelve cents on this game." Zhuo Jiu let it go, feeling a little calm, but it didn't matter. Unwilling to be dissatisfied or angry.
"However, I have benefited a lot from being able to play a game with Brother Jingyuan. It turns out that there is a world outside the world, and there are people outside the world. I am narrow-minded." After saying that, he stood up again and bowed and saluted, "I will come back to ask for advice when I have the opportunity in the future. .”
Li Lin returned the courtesy: "Brother Wen Li, you're too polite. If there is a chance, let's talk about it again."
"Then it's an appointment."
A chess game ended with Zhuo Jiu admitting defeat, but no further trouble occurred. It seemed that it was really a chess game between friends, and they made an appointment to play another game next time.
After this chess game, it was as if the two had really become friends.
Su Wan looked at the other side, smiled and said, "I don't think Mr. Zhuo is a narrow-minded person."
