Chapter 870: Guess the Age
Ji Ning was like a mute in the underground gambling house of Eternal Zhai, and he didn't say a word from beginning to end.
Even if Mrs. Xu said that she wanted to bet on the beauty in his arms, Ji Ning only looked at the woman and didn't speak, but Shangguan Wan'er asked beside her: "How to bet?" ”
Mrs. Xu smiled: "Then you might as well bet on her age, whether it is single or double!" ”
Ji Ning didn't speak, but the gamblers next to him were a little dissatisfied, and said: "There are only two kinds of single and double, it's better to simply bet on how old she is, who says the closest, even if who wins, everyone is not allowed to choose the same age, who dares to gamble?" ”
The people present nodded one after another, in their opinion, this is a fair test, after all, no one knows the woman in front of him, who says how old she is, and in the end it will be the same as the result.
But whether anyone knows her, in fact, it is difficult to say, after all, this woman has been in the eternal fasting before, maybe someone has already asked her age.
"You need to write down this number in advance......," Mrs. Xu said, "If there is no deviation, just do it, what do you think?" ”
"Good!" The people present were clamoring, and they also put their chips on the table, looking at the posture, in fact, they just wanted to compare two hundred taels of silver, so if they lost, it would not be too much.
Shangguan Wan'er was about to express her dissatisfaction, but Ji Ning suddenly stood up, because he had a great momentum on his body, and after he stood up, no one dared to speak, and they all looked at him, as if they were afraid that he would make trouble on such an occasion.
"Sixth Master, what do you have to say?" Mrs. Xu was afraid that Ji Ning would make trouble, so she hurriedly came over to ask.
Ji Ning finally spoke in front of everyone for the first time, and said in a deep voice: "It's okay to compete, I'm better than all of you, you put your chips up, and negotiate a number by yourself, I don't want to compare with too many people, you negotiate a number by yourself, if I win, your silver and women will be mine, I will lose, and the silver and women will be yours!" ”
Shangguan Wan'er was startled when she heard Ji Ning's words, why did Ji Ning suddenly seem to be crazy and wanted to come out and speak by herself, and she also proposed a very domineering way of competition.
Unexpectedly, Ji Ning wanted to gamble with everyone on the other side, and the gambling money of all the dozen gamblers together may be more than 10,000 taels of silver, and Ji Ning had 25,000 taels of silver on hand.
As for those women, they didn't belong to gamblers in the first place, and Ji Ning also had to give silver as an overnight fee when they won it.
But Ji Ning is not as petty as Shangguan Wan'er, because he knows that since he is now facing the gamblers present as Xie Lao Liu, he must show a momentum of giving up who else and make a gesture of winning.
There were so many gamblers in the audience who were talking, they had been betting against each other before, and they belonged to the opponents at the gambling table, but now they want to join forces to bet with Ji Ning This time, they have to negotiate a number with each other, and compare it with the number reported by Ji Ning to see who is closer to the real age of this woman, so that they can also feel the pressure.
Winning is good, but losing is equivalent to being swept out of the house, and even women can't be brought into the room, which is still a bit aggrieved.
But the people present are also people with heads and faces, and they will not admit defeat at such times.
"Compare to compare!" Some people stood up at the scene, and there were more people standing up behind, all of whom wanted to compete with Ji Ning, after all, if they won, they would directly collect Ji Ning's 25,000 taels, plus the more than 2,000 taels of silver they had won before, and everyone would distribute them according to the amount of gambling money, and one person could get about three times the amount of chips.
Losing is just losing one, winning can win two, and they are willing to do this business.
"Good! Come on! When the last person also stood up and said that he wanted to gamble, this gamble was already inevitable, and even the people of Eternal Zhai sent someone out to invite the beauty sitting in Ji Ning's arms to the side alone.
Mrs. Xu said: "I didn't expect you to be so compared, since this is the case, then it is good to come directly, we will let people marry her deed of sale, which clearly lists the date of birth, don't be cunning, we will be a witness in ancient Zhai." If the age difference you are talking about is exactly the same, according to the rules, the silver will belong to us for eternity......"
"Okay!" The gamblers over there all seemed to be standing together, advancing and retreating together, while Ji Ning's side was very calm, obviously Ji Ning seemed more deterrent in this matter.
……
……
After a while, everything that should be prepared was ready, all the silver was put on the gambling table, and even the woman who was almost exactly the same as Qi Niang before also sat at the gambling table, she sat cross-legged, as if it was a bet, whoever won could take her away.
This woman sat there, her eyes closed, although she was a little humiliated, but it seemed that she was used to it, this woman obviously can't be said to be a pure woman, she has been in Fengyue Field for so many years, and her age is about forty years old, no one believes that she is Bingqing Yujie, she has seen a lot of the faces of this kind of gambler in front of her, as for who owns it, it doesn't seem to matter, but she has to guard against some gamblers who will come back to her trouble after losing the bet, and specially order her out again, taking the opportunity to torture her to vent.
Not long after Mrs. Xu left, she had already found this woman's deed of sale, and she didn't open it, and said directly: "Everyone, you can discuss the age, Sixth Master Xie, you should also say it!" ”
"Let him come first!" The gamblers on the opposite side said directly that they didn't take the initiative themselves, but asked Ji Ning to take the initiative to report the age.
Who reports first, who does not have an advantage, this is also an obvious problem, but where Ji Ning reports any number, the other party can press his number, he said thirty-seven, and the other side will analyze whether this woman is over thirty-seven years old or below, and directly press and say thirty-six or thirty-eight, which is equivalent to giving up the initiative to these people.
But Ji Ning was also calm, and said very simply: "Forty-two! ”
"Haha, crazy, this woman forty-two? Are you blind to us? There should be only ...... Forget it, we think, she's forty-one! "The gamblers on the other side don't actually need to discuss, when they discussed in private before, they all felt that this woman should be thirty-seven or eighteen years old, just wait for Ji Ning to report the corresponding figures, and then they will discuss whether it is up or down.
Now Ji Ning directly reported forty-two, which is equivalent to saying that he has lost all the initiative.
They didn't think this woman would be forty years old.
But in order to directly suppress Ji Ning, it is also the most appropriate for them to report that they are forty-one years old.
Mrs. Xu took out the deed of sale, opened it, and said, "Everyone, the correct number is...... Born in April of Gengchen year, this year...... Forty-two years old, forty-three years old! ”
