"That powerful?"
Xiaosuisui’s eyes lit up.
She pointed to the area for betting on Big or Small and said loudly, "Seventh Uncle, I want to play Big or Small! I want to get rich overnight!"
Ji Youzhi could not deny her this request; basically, nobody could refuse anything Xiaosuisui asked for.
Dugu was not aware of her special ability. Besides, the one Xiaosuisui had just called out to was Ji Youzhi, not him, so he was not affected.
"Old Seventh Ji, you spoil your child far too much, don’t you? It was sowhat excusable that we weren’t watching her closely during the dice comparison earlier. But now you’re personally bringing her to bet on Big or Small. Is this appropriate?"
In front of the Big or Small betting table, the crowd had already cleared a large space for them. The area around them was now quite open, all due to Xiaosuisui’s display of power when she rolled two Leopards earlier.
"We... our family just pampers children this much!"
"..." Dugu found himself speechless!
"I know how to play this! You roll for Big or Small, and I’ll bet on it. If my bet is correct, this money is mine. If I’m wrong, my money is yours."
Looking at the words "Big," "Small," "Leopard," "Dealer," and so on, written on the tabletop, Xiaosuisui’s eyes imdiately crinkled with a smile.
She had seen this ga in the Palace. Once, while wandering around the Palace, she encountered a few young eunuchs and an old, white-haired eunuch playing it. She joined them and played all afternoon. This continued until people sent by the Empress Dowager found her and took her back.
Later, she even made special detours around the Imperial Palace but never found those dice-playing eunuchs again.
Xiaosuisui skillfully pulled out a large ingot and placed it on the table. "I bet Big!" she declared, full of imposing confidence!
Seeing her bet Big, so people who had witnessed her gambling with Han Qianshou followed her lead and also bet Big. Others bet Small.
The dealer opposite her grinned slightly. A big fish, and she’s brought so many little fish with her! Just this one round could earn tens, even hundreds, of taels.
"Place your bets! Final bets, no more changes!" the dealer shouted loudly. Then, he kindly reminded Xiaosuisui, "Sweetie, don’t you want to reconsider? What if I roll Small?"
Xiaosuisui shook her head. "No need to consider!" she stated firmly. With one hand on her hip and the other pointing at the dealer opposite her, she said in her sweet, childlike voice, "You’re not allowed to cheat!"
The dealer, who was just about to lift the dice cup and adjust the dots, was montarily stunned. Then, as if compelled by an unseen force, he lifted the dice cup!
"Four, five, six... fifteen points! Big!"
Those who had bet with Xiaosuisui imdiately broke into smiles upon seeing the result and cheered loudly.
Upstairs, watching all of this, Sister Ying’Er’s eyes widened involuntarily. However, she quickly regained her composure. Perhaps Cao Da is deliberately going easy on her, which is why he didn’t adjust the dots. After all, it’s the first round; it’s common to give players a little taste of victory.
"Continue!"
Xiaosuisui pushed forward all the money she had won. "I bet Small!"
Xiaosuisui bet on Small. Those following her lead imdiately bet Small as well, though so still bet Big.
"Place your bets, place your bets! Final bets, no more changes!" the dealer continued to call out. Cold sweat was already starting to prickle on his back.
"Sweetie, would you like to try betting on a Leopard?" the dealer tempted her.
Xiaosuisui shook her head. "As long as you don’t cheat, you’ll never roll a Leopard!"
As soon as Xiaosuisui said this, the dealer’s expression changed, and his mouth twitched fiercely.
Upstairs, Sister Ying’Er frowned slightly. The middle-aged man beside her muttered, "Cao Da has indeed never rolled a Leopard. I wonder which family planted this little girl here?"
