Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 4) Chapter 76.2: Playful Son (19)
Although he comforted him, Guan Si was still worried and said, “The Dali Temple Minister came to the gambling house to see. If he meets my father tomorrow and he says something bad, then will I be dead or alive?”
Shao Jiashan was unhappy when he heard this and said, “My father said he was here to see, and he is here to see. He always keeps his word and would never do such a thing as gossiping behind people’s backs.”
Guan Si sneered and said, “Have you forgotten how your father beat you in the past?”
Shao Jiashan naturally still remembered how Shao Yu had beaten him in the past, but at this moment in front of his friends, he was still trying to defend Shao Yu, saying: “The past is the past. My father is different now. He is here to accompany me today, not to grab my pigtails.”
“Accompany you? Why can’t he accompany you to do something else? Why does he have to accompany you to the gambling house?” Guan Si said unhappily.
Seeing that he couldn’t convince him, Shao Jiashan still covered his nose and said, “Forget it, forget it, think whatever you want.”
“Why are you covering your nose all the time? Do you think I stink?” Guan Si asked unhappily.
“There are too many people in here and the smell is strong.” Shao Jiashan said with disgust.
Meanwhile, Shao Yu was in the gambling house. He had already taken Shao Jialiang for a tour and then returned to the original place and asked Shao Jiashan: “Shan’er, how do you play in the gambling house?”
Shao Yu was actually very knowledgeable about everything in the gambling house, but at this moment he pretended to be ignorant.
Guan Si immediately approached Shao Jiashan and said, “Don’t be fooled. If you act like you know everything, you will be beaten when you go back.”
Shao Jiashan pushed him away with great disgust and said, “I don’t understand anyway.”
Guan Si knows a lot about these things, but Shao Jiashan is a real newcomer to the gambling house.
Seeing that his son didn’t understand, Shao Yu turned his inquiring eyes to Guan Si and said, “I know you. You are the fourth son of the Guan family and Shan’er’s best friend.”
Shao Yu deliberately emphasized the word “best”.
But Guan Si flatly denied it and said, “I am not Guan Si, I am Wang Qi.”
Shao Yu frowned and stared at him, saying, “Wang Qi has a mole on his face, and your left eyebrow is higher than your right eyebrow, so you must be Guan Si.”
Guan Si himself had never noticed that his left eyebrow was higher than his right eyebrow. He didn’t expect that Shao Yu not only noticed it, but even used it as a reason to identify him.
“Uncle Shao, you… came here to play too.” Guan Si was recognized by Shao Yu at this time. He had no way to defend himself, so he could only bite the bullet and add normal etiquette.
Shao Yu also cooperated very well and said, “Does your family know that my nephew is here?”
When Guan Si heard this, he felt that Shao Yu was making a blatant threat and he wished he could just slide down to his knees on the spot.
“Uncle, I beg you, please don’t tell my father about this.” Guan Si begged.
Shao Yu nodded and said, “I won’t say it this time.”
Guan Si breathed a sigh of relief.
But Shao Yu continued: “If it happens next time, I don’t know if I should say it.”
Guan Si immediately said, “Don’t worry, Uncle, I won’t come again. This is actually my first time here.”
As soon as he said this, Shao Jiashan couldn’t help but look at him sideways.
How could Shao Yu not notice such a big reaction? He raised his lips and asked Guan Si, “What’s the fastest way to make money here?”
Guan Si immediately said, “Dice, guess the number.”
Guan Si regretted what he said as he spoke too quickly and without thinking, which was totally unlike a newcomer who came here for the first time.
Shao Yu nodded and asked him to take him to the dice area.
The reason why they make money quickly there is very simple. One round is very short, so you can gamble many times in the same amount of time.
Shao Yu gave each of his two sons ten taels of silver.
“Go ahead.”
Seeing that Shao Yu not only paid but also urged his two sons to gamble, Guan Si, who was standing by, was so surprised that he said to Shao Jiashan with envy, “I believe you now. Your father really didn’t come to catch you.”
Shao Jiashan immediately said proudly: “My father is very good, he is not that kind of old-fashioned and serious parent.”
Guan Si was also a little envious.
Shao Jiashan took the money and quickly squeezed in, covering his nose, but Shao Jialiang stood there and said, “Gambling can make people lose their minds…”
Shao Yu asked: “Do you want to be rich?”
Shao Jialiang shook his head. He was still young and did not have high material desires, so he did not have a very full understanding of money.
“If you have a lot of money, what can you do with it?” Shao Yu asked.
Shao Jialiang thought for a moment and said, “Repair the river bank, open a granary, and ensure that the people have enough food and clothing.”
Shao Jialiang’s thoughts at this time were still very simple, just like a child.
“Then you should go in. Gambling is the fastest way to make money. If you lose, you will only lose ten taels of silver. If you win, you will make a huge profit.” Shao Yu continued to tempt.
After some hesitation, Shao Jialiang was finally attracted by the scene described by Shao Yu. He squeezed through the crowd and walked in.
Shao Yu also squeezed into the crowd.
The gamblers were so obsessed at this point that they could only see the gambling table in front of them and didn’t care at all about the few people who squeezed in.
Shao Jiashan had not placed any bets at this time, but was still holding his nose and watching.
Shao Jialiang was observing. As someone who came here for the first time, he didn’t even understand the rules of the gambling table.
This time when rolling the dice, you are not comparing the size, but guessing the number. Different numbers correspond to different odds.
When Shao Jialiang finally understood, he tried to bet on “five points”, but Shao Yu stopped him and said, “three points.”
Upon hearing this, Shao Jialiang obeyed his father’s words without hesitation.
Seeing his brother doing this, Shao Jiashan also took the money.
The number that came out very quickly was “three”.
Ten taels of silver directly became thirty taels.
In the second round, it was still Shao Yu’s judgment that the thirty taels became one hundred and twenty taels.
This continued for several times, and the brothers won more and more money.
Even Guan Si, who was following nearby, seized the opportunity to follow and made a fortune.
