Chapter 758: You are not called the Little God of Wealth in vain
This caused a burst of laughter from the people around them. Zhou Shao was even more proud after hearing this. He leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, glanced at Bai Wanwan and said, "Did you hear that? If you're smart, it's not too late to admit defeat now, so you don't end up crying when you lose everything later."
Bai Wanwan just shook her head slightly, her eyes fixed on the dice cup in the middle of the table: "Don't waste time, let's get started!"
Wu San responded immediately, holding up the dice cup with both hands, and with a slight turn of his wrist, the dice made a crisp sound when they hit each other in the cup.
But a moment later, he suddenly slammed the dice cup on the table and said loudly: "Bet it, let go, open..."
Bai Wanwan didn't hesitate and directly took out 100,000 taels from the silver bills in front of her and pushed it to the large area.
Seeing this, Mr. Zhou raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Oh, you are quite bold in betting, throwing away 100,000 taels in one go?"
"Do you dare to follow?" Bai Wanwan looked up at him, her tone calm but with unquestionable confidence.
Zhou Shao was aroused by his competitive spirit and immediately slapped a hundred thousand taels of silver on Xiao: "What are you afraid of? Don't cry if you lose!"
When the results came out, the points were indeed small. Zhou Shao slapped the table proudly and laughed heartily: "I told you, I will definitely win this round!"
The second and third times, Wu San rolled the dice, and Zhou Shao won three times in a row.
The surrounding gamblers also followed suit, some patting Zhou Shao on the shoulder and cheering, while others teased Bai Wanwan: "Girl, why don't you stop gambling? If you keep losing, you'll be out of money!"
On the fourth bet, Bai Wanwan suddenly pushed out a 500,000 tael silver note and said in a clear voice, "I'm betting 500,000 taels this time. Do you dare to follow?"
Zhou Shao was so excited about his victory that he didn't want to be timid. He immediately put 500,000 taels on the table and said, "Why wouldn't I dare? Not to mention 500,000, I'd even dare to pay 1,000,000 taels!"
Wu San picked up the dice cup again, his fingers quickly flipped around the bottom of the cup, and then he quietly touched his ear. That was the secret signal he and Zhou Shao agreed upon.
The dice cup fell, and Zhou Shao shouted without thinking: "Small!"
"Then I'll bet big." Bai Wanwan said lightly.
Wu San's hand paused, but he still opened the dice cup with his courage. The three dice showed three sixes, adding up to eighteen points. Big!
The smile on Zhou Shao's face froze instantly, his expression darkened, and he glared at Wu San coldly.
Wu San was so frightened that he shuddered and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at him.
Bai Wanwan didn't stop, tapping the banknotes on the table with her fingertips. She looked at Zhou Shao and said, "Winning three times in a row, that feels good, right? Why don't we go big and just bet one million taels? How about that?"
Zhou Shao couldn't swallow this insult, and he stiffened his neck and said, "Why should I be afraid? It's just one million taels, right? I can afford to lose it!"
Wu San's fingers flew rapidly under the dice cup. As soon as he put the cup on the table, Bai Wanwan looked up at Zhou Shao and said in a calm tone: "You choose first. It's up to you."
Zhou Shao's mind was now completely focused on winning back his previous losses. Without a second thought, he slammed his fist on the table and shouted, "I'm going for big! This one's definitely going to be big!"
Seeing this, Bai Wanwan slowly added, "Then I'll choose the smaller one. They're all the same size, I'm not picky."
Wu San suddenly opened the dice cup, and the three dice were one, two, and two, adding up to only five points, which was surprisingly small!
"Wow!" The surroundings immediately erupted in excitement. Gamblers came forward to take a look, exclaiming in amazement, "Is it really that small? This one is worth one million taels!"
"Mr. Zhou's defeat was too tragic, wasn't it?" Whispers rose one after another, and everyone looked at Mr. Zhou with sympathy and curiosity.
Zhou Shao's face turned green instantly, and he pointed at Bai Wanwan and yelled, "You guys cheated! You must have colluded with Wu San!"
Bai Wanwan leaned back in her chair, raised her eyebrows, and said with a hint of sarcasm:
"What are you talking about, Master Zhou? I didn't even touch the dice cup from beginning to end, how could I cheat?
You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want. If word gets out, people will think the prefect's son can't stand the loss and wants to renege on his debt!
Zhou Shao was choked and speechless. He stared at Bai Wanwan and asked through gritted teeth, "What's your name? Do you dare to tell me your name?"
"I will always keep my name, Bai Wanwan."
She raised her chin and said in a clear voice: "Now, I am the county magistrate of Qingshui County."
Zhou Shao said with a cold face: "So you are the county magistrate here! I will come to see you tomorrow."
Bai Wanwan looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Well, I'll wait for you!"
She directly returned the banknotes of Shen Tao and Zhou Jingheng to them, and gave each of them an extra 100,000 taels.
Shen Tao looked at the banknotes piled on the table and couldn't help but sigh, his tone full of emotion: "Wanwan, your title of Little God of Wealth is well worth it! On our first day here, you helped us win 100,000 taels. That's really generous!"
Wang Jingheng also nodded, his eyes full of admiration:
"That's right, this is simply the possession of the God of Wealth!
I've decided to stay here to study, so I can be closer to you and maybe even share in your good luck."
Bai Wanwan couldn't help laughing after hearing this:
“You can stay here to study, but you have to ask your family for permission first.
But honestly, the resources at our academy are really good, so I'd like to take you there to have a look."
Having said that, he led a few people towards the academy.
As soon as they stepped into the gate of the academy, Shen Tao and Wang Jingheng were stunned by the scene before them. There were pavilions scattered in the courtyard, and bookshelves lined up in the library.
Many students were discussing academic matters around a stone table, and in a lecture hall not far away, the teacher sitting upright was actually the old scholar from the Hanlin Academy whom he had met in the capital a few days ago!
Shen Tao couldn't help but lower his voice and exclaimed: "Damn! Wanwan, your academy is too awesome, right?
You actually invited all these old guys from the court! How did you do it? "
Wang Jingheng also nodded, his eyes full of shock. These old scholars were rare figures in the capital, and he did not expect that they would gather in this small Qingshui County Academy.
The old scholar from the Hanlin Academy caught sight of Shen Tao and immediately rolled his eyes in displeasure, complaining to the people around him:
"We dare not accept a student like this! There are few teachers in the entire capital who have not been tormented by him.
This kid is so naughty that he can't sit still in class!"
Another old scholar beside him also nodded, his tone full of helplessness:
"That's right! He's completely ignorant and knows nothing but wielding swords and guns, and doesn't take books seriously at all.
I don’t have the energy to teach students like that.”
Shen Tao blushed upon hearing this, stiffening his neck and retorting, "Who wants you to teach me? I don't even care about your old-fashioned teachings!"
A burly martial arts instructor came over, squinting his eyes as he looked at Shen Tao's small frame, a smile on his lips: "I think this kid has good muscles and bones, he's a good material for martial arts training, why don't you stay and learn martial arts from me?"
Shen Tao raised his eyebrows, his face full of disdain: "Learn martial arts from you? Can your kung fu be better than my master's?"
"You'll know if it's powerful or not if you try it," Coach Wu said, raising his hand and making a "please" gesture.
Shen Tao was not vague either. He immediately took up his stance and exchanged a few moves with Coach Wu.
But after just a few rounds, he was easily suppressed by Coach Wu and didn't even have the chance to fight back.
He gasped for breath and finally gave in: "Okay, your kung fu is really good."
