CH 35.1

“It can.” Ji Yunxi took back her eyes. “It’s just quite unexpected.”

Wu Wei’an looked at the boxes of gold in front of him, smiled and said nothing, but his face was inscrutable.

Since they have decided to get married, it is better to get married as soon as possible. So that those various people he knew, such as Old Qin, would not have time to come to the capital to attend the wedding banquet. If they really come, these people’s basic life necessities in the capital will have to be arranged by him and he will have to pay the money. After all, they all work for him.

And they are definitely not the people that can give any good gifts. Wu Wei’an will not do this loss-making business.

After the two set the date for their big wedding, Wu Wei’an returned to Wu’s house with his ten thousand taels of gold.

Ji Yunxi let her family’s carriage take him back. Before the carriage was sent, Baofu specially asked the servants to remove the drinks, cakes, rouge and powder in the hidden compartment, especially the hand mirror with feathered pattern.

This hand mirror with feathered pattern is personally made by a famous craftsman in Jiangnan, using the best materials, and the mirror surface is much clearer than other hand mirrors sold in the world. The carving took a lot of effort. Although it looked simple, it was actually extremely complicated.

It’s just a pity that the craftsman injured his hand a few years ago, so there are only these two pieces of the mirror in the world.

If it is taken away again, their Miss won’t have any again!!

In the Dayu Dynasty, the business of gambling houses wasn’t something that could be done just because one wanted to. They had to be approved by the Imperial Court.

At present, there are eight gambling houses in the capital, of which Dechang Gambling House is the largest and has the largest number of customers. These eight gambling houses were also in the hands of the Feng family before.

But these days, these eight casinos have all closed their doors and are not open for business.

In the afternoon, Ji Yunxi’s carriage stopped at the gate of Dechang Gambling House.

Unlike the crowd of people outside the Dechang Gambling House a few days ago, there is no one outside the gambling house this time.

The people that came and went were at most pointing at Ji Yunxi’s carriage when passing by, chatting a little gossip with each other, and then went away busily by themself.

Someone was guarding outside the gambling house and when he saw Ji Yunxi, he bowed his head and bent his waist before opening the door respectfully.

Ji Yunxi walked in with a group of people.

It was a mess inside. Chips were spilled all over the floor, and the tables and chairs were upside down, as if a thief had broken into the building.

The Feng family gave the gambling house to Ji Yunxi, along with the people who worked in the gambling house.

These people were hired by the Feng family before and they were not the servants of the Feng family. They just worked for the Feng family.

This time,it could be said that their employer had changed to another one.

Seeing Ji Yunxi come in, some loyal ones bowed their heads and waited respectfully, dare not speak at all. Some of them were unhappy and put their hands around their chests while looking at Ji Yunxi with their unconvinced faces. Some of the resourceful ones showed a flattering smile at Ji Yunxi, calling ‘Third Miss’ in a voice that sounded better one after another.

Ji Yunxi only responded lightly, and glanced at the messy ground: “Have you all rested at home for the past three days?”

The people who work in the gambling house exchanged glances with each other. They don’t know what Ji Yunxi got in her sleeve.

An old fellow who had always been in a good relationship with the Feng family jumped out: “That’s right. We can only rest. The guards from Third Miss’ house are blocking at the gate of the gambling house. Who would dare to come?”

Many people agreed with him and nodded, with anger and dissatisfaction on their faces.

Ji Yunxi raised her eyes and slowly looked over.

She has been studying the gambling houses these days, and she has also learned about the employees of these gambling houses in advance.

These unconvinced guys all have relatively important positions in the gambling house, and they are very experienced old fellows.
