Chapter 116: No Big Problem
Bai Jingyun closed his eyes and his body shook.
This is too fucking bullying!
But if he really started fighting, he really couldn't beat Jiang Yuan. After weighing the pros and cons, Bai Jingyun gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you're ruthless!"
After saying that, he angrily drew three more cards and said, "Again!"
Just when Jiang Yuan was about to take the cards happily, a voice sounded behind him: "Jingyun, go down, I will play with Master Jiang for a while."
Having said that, Bai Wei directly drove Bai Jingyun away, sat down at the card table, casually threw Bai Jingyun's three cards into the deck, and clumsily took out three cards.
Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. Haha! You can't even hold the cards, and you still want to play with me?
After drawing the cards, Jiang Yuan looked at Bai Wei with a smile: "Ten taels."
Bai Wei nodded gently: "I'll follow."
The other three also followed symbolically for two rounds, and then folded their cards in tacit understanding, leaving only Bai Wei and Jiang Yuan.
"One hundred taels." Jiang Yuan spoke again.
"Follow." Bai Wei said without raising her head.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan smiled slyly, but then pretended to look regretful and threw the cards away.
"Ouch, I didn't scare you. This hand is really bad."
As he spoke, Jiang Yuan stole a glance at Bai Wei. This move was called luring someone into a trap. He gave the other party a little sweetness first. Fishing also requires bait.
The second round began with an almost identical scene to the first round, with only Bai Wei and Jiang Yuan left on the field.
"Five hundred taels." Jiang Yuan was the first to speak and test the waters.
Bai Wei said without even looking up: "I'll follow."
Jiang Yuan felt a little dry in the mouth. This woman didn't even look at the cards, and she dared to follow directly?
"Add another thousand taels!"
"with!"
"Two thousand taels!"
"and."
Jiang Yuan was actually a little confused. He looked at Bai Wei cautiously: "Are you sure you don't want to look at the cards?"
"There's no need for that." Bai Wei said softly, her face full of disapproval.
"From now on, Master Jiang, you don't have to speak every time. I'll follow you with whatever you bet."
Jiang Yuan thought about it again and again, and finally decided not to be so cruel as to cheat his wife-to-be of her money. He bet another five thousand taels and opened the cards directly.
"I'm a golden flower, or a K gold. You can't beat me except for the Ace."
Bai Wei slowly shook her head: "I'm not A."
Jiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and was about to take the money when Bai Wei stopped him.
"Master Jiang, besides the Ace getting the Golden Flower, what other cards can beat the Golden Flower?"
Jiang Yuan's heart sank: "235 or..."
"Well, no need to say more." Bai Wei said, and slapped the three cards on the table.
Jiang Yuan was completely dumbfounded. It was really 235. However, Bai Wei didn't seem to have even looked at the cards, right?
How did she know she was 235?
Under Jiang Yuan's shocked gaze, Bai Wei simply reached out and took back all the banknotes, then casually drew three more cards from the deck.
In the next half hour, Jiang Yuan suffered inhumane torture.
Bai Wei's cards always had the upper hand over him. In just ten rounds, she won back all the money Jiang Yuan had won from Bai Jingyun. In the next ten rounds, she made Jiang Yuan lose everything.
"Mr. Jiang, are you still interested? I can lend you money, and the interest rate will increase by 10% each round." Bai Wei looked at Jiang Yuan with a smile.
"I don't want to play anymore. I'm unlucky today!" Jiang Yuan threw the cards into the deck with a wry smile.
This is really weird, what’s wrong with this woman?
He never looks at his cards, yet he always wins.
Could it be...
She is my nemesis!
Jiang Yuan suddenly looked at Bai Wei. This wouldn't do. If this woman was unlucky for him, he absolutely couldn't marry her. What if he died young?
"Hmm? Is there something wrong, Mr. Jiang?" Bai Wei said lightly.
Jiang Yuan held it in for a long time, but couldn't help but ask: "How did you do it?"
Bai Wei smiled silently and took out three cards from the deck and shook them in front of Jiang Yuan: 10, 4, 1.
Jiang Yuan stared at the three cards intently, only to see Bai Wei slowly place them on the table, wipe them casually with her hands, and turn them over again, which directly turned into a straight of 8910.
"Fuck!"
A group of alpacas ran through Jiang Yuan's mind. He thought of countless possibilities in his mind, but the only thing he had never thought of was that this woman was an expert at cheating.
No, you are a young lady from a wealthy family, you should just practice music, chess, calligraphy and painting, why do you get involved in such low-class things?
"You, you always think about this?" Jiang Yuan looked at Bai Wei in disbelief.
"Of course not." Bai Wei smiled and directly controlled Jiang Yuan for three seconds.
"In our Bai family, women are not allowed to leave the house until they are married, and I have stayed in seclusion for twenty-five years. What do you think I have been doing?"
"I've long been tired of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting."
Having said that, Bai Wei stood up, leaving Jiang Yuan disheveled in the wind.
What kind of world is this? It's fine that he's superior to me in all kinds of artistic attainments, but now he can't even beat the playing cards that I just brought into this world. This is too outrageous!
Before they knew it, a few days had passed and the group got off the boat in Luoyun City.
After Jiang Yuan returned the document to Tian Wen, he rented two carriages and, after more than ten days, finally arrived in Taiping County at noon that day.
"Huh! I'm finally back." Jiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Life outside is not as good as in Taiping County. The carriage went directly into Taiping County through a special passage. After getting off the carriage, although he was very tired, Jiang Yuan still went straight to the county government office.
I've been away for so long, I wonder how those idiots are doing in governing Taiping County.
The property that I have worked so hard to build must not be destroyed in their hands.
As soon as Jiang Yuan entered the county government office, Ma Zhi, who was sitting inside, rushed over.
"My lord! My lord, I miss you so much!"
Jiang Yuan dodged to the side and then pushed Ma Zhi down. What's wrong with this guy? Doesn't he know that physical contact between men is not allowed?
"Okay, stop playing the brotherly game with me. Bring me the account book. I want to see it."
Jiang Yuan said this and walked directly to the main seat, took out his cup and threw it to Mu Cangtian.
"Go! Wash it thoroughly."
Mu Cangtian rolled his eyes, but still obediently did as Jiang Yuan instructed.
"Sir, what's so good about this thing? Why don't I take you to Shangyan Pavilion to relax first?" Ma Zhi said with a wry smile.
A hint of suspicion flashed in Jiang Yuan's eyes. Something was wrong. This guy was hiding something.
"Stop talking nonsense and get it out to me!"
Ma Zhi sighed and handed the account book to Jiang Yuan, saying with a sad face, "Sir, this is not my fault. It's just that our income has not kept up lately."
"Can't keep up?" Jiang Yuan's heart tightened, and he quickly opened the account book to check.
You don't know until you see it. Jiang Yuan immediately lost his composure. The monthly net profit of the entire Taiping County has dropped to 50,000 taels of silver.
This was far below the bottom line set by Jiang Yuan before he left, which was to ensure a monthly net profit of 200,000 taels for Taiping County.
"Sir, you can't blame me entirely for this. I really tried my best. Besides, we are still making a profit. I shouldn't be guilty of a capital crime, right?" Ma Zhi looked at Jiang Yuan cautiously.
Jiang Yuan patted Ma Zhi's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, it's not a big problem."
"That's good, that's good." Ma Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuan raised his head and looked at Ma Zhi with a smile: "What I mean is, it's not a big deal to prepare a meal for you."
