Chapter 249: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas
Chu Xian seemed to be incredulous, looked at the wooden box in her hand, and muttered to herself: "How can it be empty?" ”
Xiao Qi couldn't help but pick his nose, in Chu Xian's mind: "Boss, I'll help you scan out which one is gone, and you deliberately take the empty box, you're too bad." ”
Chu Xian doesn't have time to communicate with Xiao Qi now, she is very focused on acting.
The woman who confidently took her time to bet on the treasure, but turned out to be unfavorable and bet on an empty box is vividly interpreted.
The eyes were full of unwillingness, hesitation, confusion and anger.
The onlookers laughed even harder.
In the private room on the second floor of Taiyuan Building, everyone had different expressions.
The fourth master's face was as usual, and he picked his index finger slightly with the teacup and then clicked the teacup lid, as if he had unintentionally glanced at Su Peisheng.
Su Peisheng nodded slightly, already understanding the meaning of his master. I found an opportunity to go downstairs to run errands.
The eldest brother looked like he was watching a good show, and the third elder brother was full of distress.
On the betting platform, Chu Xian's performance continued.
She paid another four taels of silver for the bet, and deliberately chose an empty box, and opened it with an incredulous face.
"Impossible!" Chu Xian frowned.
The more she frowned, the more the onlookers laughed.
"Now you know how powerful Miss Tong Jia is, just rely on your luck, and you want to win her? Let's go home. ”
Chu Xian was very unconvinced: "I don't believe that I failed to remand for the third time." ”
asked for eight taels of silver for the treasure fee, and she deliberately picked an empty box.
Even those well-trained young men in Wanbao Pavilion couldn't help but shake their heads.
The corners of Nalanqi's mouth, who was watching all this in the private room on the second floor, hooked up, and found an excuse to go out of the private room, called the grandmother who came over to serve her, sneered, lowered her voice and ordered.
"When you wait for the final, tell her to miss first and let someone else win. You find a way to commission her odds to two. Then you go to my private account and take 30,000 taels of silver bills, and let the subordinates take them down in batches. It's still the old rules. ”
"As for the confident Sifujin, let the shopkeeper set the odds casually, and give her a good slap in the face."
Mama hurriedly responded one by one and went down to give orders.
Nalanki returned to the private room with a happy heart.
The fourth master saw her come in and took a sip of the teacup, but it was still cold.
On the stage, Chu Xian was still betting on the Bronze Star.
She has failed four times.
On the handicap, her odds have changed from one to four at the beginning.
Whoever bets on her to win, if it comes true, Wanbao Pavilion will pay four or five times the winnings to the bettor. This is very unfavorable.
Chu Xian's face had gradually become a little stiff from the initial confidence.
The ridicule of the onlookers was loud again and again, and they all coaxed her to step down and go home.
"I don't believe I won't win, come again!" Chu Xian took out another silver ticket and paid the bet fee.
Five times
Six times
Seven times
Still missed.
Her odds changed from four to one to five.
Tong Jia Muzhen got up with a smile: "Cousin-in-law, why don't you wait for the final qualification ticket directly, maybe you can spend less money." ”
Chu Xian rejected her proposal and pressed it twice, but she still didn't hit.
Her odds became six to one.
No one wants to buy her to win.
Chu Xian tightened her pretty face, as if she was a little unwilling, and took out the silver ticket and pressed it for the tenth time.
Finally hit.
Except for the fourth master upstairs and the five grids who were also on the stage, no one was happy for her, and they were all mocking her.
