Zhao Bingliang clapped his fingers and muttered: "She was sixteen years old when she saved me, and now it's another sixteen years... thirty-two years old."

"Snapped!"

Su Wangting clapped his hands, making Zhao Bingliang tremble again.

Right!

Thirty-two years old!

Qi Yuanchang was imprisoned for thirty-two years. His daughter was full moon when she disappeared. If she were alive, she would be thirty-two years old now!

Could it be that Chun Niang is the daughter of Qi Yuanchang?

So Su Wangting asked for the direction of Lotte Village, then hurriedly went out and mounted his horse.

Lotte Village is indeed as Zhao Bingliang said, not far away.

After leaving the store, I saw a fork in the rural road ahead. The rural road went west through a small bamboo forest, and a courtyard with white walls and blue tiles appeared in my sight.

When they arrived at the courtyard, they saw a large number of horse sedans parked in the open space in front of the door. At a glance, there were as many as fifty or so, not counting the single horses.

It can be seen that there are many people coming to gamble.

Just outside the door of each house, the driving boys gathered in several groups, chatting and laughing, chattering and lively as if they were going to a market, which seemed incompatible with the dead silence of the surrounding wilderness.

After finding a random tree and tying his horse, Su Wangting came to the gate of the courtyard.

While he was looking up at the two magnificent doors, a doorman came up to him with a smile.

"Sir... you look very unfamiliar, but are you here to try your luck?"

Su Wangting was stunned and nodded.

The boy smiled and said: "Hey, you are lucky when you come back here. I'm afraid you will be very lucky."

"What a coincidence??" Su Wangting frowned upon hearing this, "What do you mean by this?"

"Today happens to be the day when our Chun Niang of Lotte Village takes her place every month. This early in the morning, uncles from all over the place rush here. Hey, I say, since you are also a fan of this art, you should have heard of our Chun Niang of Lotte Village.

His name, right?"

Su Wangting scratched his head and smiled guiltily: "I heard that Chun Niang's gambling skills are amazing and she has never lost a game. So your village will let Chun Niang play five games every month. If you can win one of her games, your village will return a hundred times the money.

money for gambling."

The boy replied proudly: "That's right. Sir, do you also want to give it a try?"

Su Wangting touched his chin and thought for a moment, then asked: "This Chun Niang only sits in five houses every time, but so many people want to compete with her, how can five tables be enough?"

The boy laughed twice when he heard this and replied: "Of course it's not enough, so Chun Niang's five houses will ask for prices."

"Calling price?"

"That's right. Only the person who places the highest bet in each hand is qualified to bet against Chun Niang."

"It turns out that the one with the highest price gets it. Haha, you Zhuangzi really know how to find ways to get money." Su Wangting said, thanking him, and then raised his feet to cross the threshold and enter the courtyard.

But the boy stopped him.

Su Wangting frowned: "Why did you stop me?"

The young man said with a smile: "I'll give you a moment, please. We have a rule at Lotte Manor, that is, the first time a guest comes back, his gambling capital must be verified. Only those who have cash or more than three hundred taels of silver in their possessions can do so."

Come in. Hehe, I’m offended.”

Su Wangting said oh, took out the small silk bag from his arms and handed it over.

The boy opened it and saw that it was a gold ingot. He was startled at first, then he pulled it a few times with his hands, and his expression darkened again.

"One tael of gold, ten taels of silver. Sir, the gold ingots you have here have just been counted. They are only twenty-eight taels, which means they are worth two hundred and eighty taels of silver. Haha, it's a little short. Please forgive me for not letting go.

You come in."

"Ah? There are only twenty-eight taels left?"

Su Wangting took his pocket back and started to pull it out himself.

Sure enough, there were only twenty-eight taels left.

In his mind, this bag was still the same as when Bai Kui gave it to him, containing fifty taels of gold.

But I didn't expect that money would be spent so carelessly. I would be generous here and there, but I would have less than thirty taels left.

At this moment, Su Wangting suddenly recalled, didn't he just give Zhao Bingliang an ingot of gold and five taels of gold in that store just now?

Should we not go back and get the gold back?

But Su Wangting quickly rejected this plan.

He couldn't save face.

"Hey, how about this?"

As he spoke, Su Wangting took out a thick stack of paper from his arms and stuffed it in.

"There are some land deeds here. Can you see if I am qualified to enter?"

The boy hesitantly started to look through the pages, but as he looked, his eyes grew wider and wider, and his mouth grew bigger and bigger, his face full of shock.

"Good...good guy! If you take a quick look at this pile, you will see that there are five or six places in Zhuangzi alone, and...there are also these docks, escort offices, and fields..."

The boy handed the stack of papers back to Su Wangting with trembling hands, and asked in the same trembling voice: "Little...little one is blind. I don't know what kind of distinguished family you are from, sir?"

Su Wangting waved his hands impatiently and said: "What are you asking these nonsense people for? You just want to tell me whether I am qualified enough to get in!"

"Enough! Enough! Enough!" The young man nodded fiercely and hurriedly jumped over the threshold, preparing to lead the way. "Sir, please come inside quickly. I will send a message here. Sir, you have to pay for all the food and drinks in this village.

We will receive you according to the highest standards!! While the uncle is playing in the field, the younger one will be waiting beside him. If you want anything, just ask for it!"

Su Wangting suppressed his laughter and asked, "What is your name?"

"Uncle, please just call me Huang Si."

"Well, you're sensible!" Su Wangting casually threw a gold ingot to him, crossed the threshold, and entered the village confidently.
Chapter completed!
