"That powerful?"
Xiaosuisuiâs 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, donât you? It was somewhat excusable that we werenât watching her closely during the dice comparison earlier. But now youâre 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 Xiaosuisuiâs 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 Iâll bet on it. If my bet is correct, this money is mine. If Iâm wrong, my money is yours."
Looking at the words "Big," "Small," "Leopard," "Dealer," and so on, written on the tabletop, Xiaosuisuiâs eyes immediately crinkled with a smile.
She had seen this game 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, some 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 sheâs brought so many little fish with her! Just this one round could earn me tens, even hundreds, of taels.
"Place your bets! Final bets, no more changes!" the dealer shouted loudly. Then, he kindly reminded Xiaosuisui, "Sweetie, donât 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, "Youâre not allowed to cheat!"
The dealer, who was just about to lift the dice cup and adjust the dots, was momentarily 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 immediately broke into smiles upon seeing the result and cheered loudly.
Upstairs, watching all of this, Sister YingâErâs eyes widened involuntarily. However, she quickly regained her composure.
Perhaps Cao Da is deliberately going easy on her, which is why he didnât adjust the dots. After all, itâs the first round; itâs 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 immediately bet Small as well, though some 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 donât cheat, youâll never roll a Leopard!"
As soon as Xiaosuisui said this, the dealerâs expression changed, and his mouth twitched fiercely.
Upstairs, Sister YingâEr 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?"
