Volume 19: Legend of Lu Xiaofeng Chapter 501: Fantastic Ideas
Where would a wedding dress worth five hundred thousand taels of silver with snowflake patterns be?
There is absolutely no such expensive wedding dress in the world, and no one would be willing to spend 500,000 taels of silver to buy it.
But Su Weiyun knew where the wedding dress was - of course, it was the wedding dress he embroidered.
"Haha, it seems that this wedding dress hides a big secret. The old man didn't hesitate to destroy Jin Jiuling's plan to test me, and now Yu Luosha wants to gamble with 500,000 taels of silver. They are really people who know the value of things."
Su Weiyun found it quite funny. He walked out of the underground secret room and returned to the casino.
The people had already dispersed, and the old rule of the Yin Gou Casino, which had remained unchanged for more than ten years, was to close during the day and open at night.
As soon as daybreak comes, the shops are closed and the gamblers disperse.
There was only one gambler who was still leaning over the table, refusing to get up. It looked like he had not only lost money, but was also drunk.
Drinking and losing money seem to have no necessary connection, but in a casino, the two things often happen at the same time.
Xiao Ma and Ding Xi were still shaking the dice, and Ding Xi was teaching Xiao Ma some gambling skills.
Su Weiyun said, "Let's go, it's over. Carry Chang Wuyi up and find an inn to stay in first."
Even though a night had passed, Xiao Ma's excitement was not dampened at all: "I haven't had enough fun yet, let's do it again tomorrow!"
Ding Xi said: "Gambling is addictive, you'd better not come here again!"
Xiao Ma listened to Ding Xi very much and didn't dare to refute him. He just curled his lips and then obediently carried the drunk Chang Wuyi out of the casino.
It was just daybreak and pedestrians were not yet out on the streets.
The four of them found an inn, and after settling Chang Wuyi down, Su Weiyun began to chat with Ding Xi.
As they chatted, the two inevitably mentioned the duel on the top of the Forbidden City.
This topic seems to be unavoidable in any conversation lately.
Su Weiyun said: "This duel between Ximen Chuxue and Ye Gucheng seems to have touched the hearts of the whole world."
Ding Xi said: "I know . I saw a lot of people betting on the outcome of Ximen Chuxue and Ye Gucheng in the Silver Hook Casino. Now the odds for Ye Gucheng are 3 to 2!"
This means that if you spend three taels of silver to bet on Ye Gucheng to win, then if Ye Gucheng really wins, in addition to recovering your capital, you can also earn an extra two taels of silver.
On the contrary, if you bet on Ximen Chuixue's victory correctly, you only need to buy two taels and you can earn three taels.
——Ximen Chuxue and Ye Gucheng are equally good at swordsmanship, and it is hard to tell who is better. However, in the eyes of the world, people still think that Ye Gucheng is more likely to win.
Su Weiyun asked: "Did you buy it?"
Ding Xi said: "I bought it too."
Su Weiyun asked: "Who did you buy it from?"
Ding Xi said: "I bet on Ximen Chuxue to win!"
Su Weiyun smiled and said, "You want to buy with me? Why don't you bet on Ye Gucheng to win? This way, if we lose, we can still save some money."
Ding Xi said: "Anyway, it's a gamble, so why not bet bigger."
Su Weiyun said: "Yes, I think so too, so I would like to ask you to help me get something from Shenzhen Villa."
Ding Xi asked, "What do you want to take?"
Su Weiyun said: "Bring me the wedding dress that I embroidered myself."
Ding Xi looked a little weird, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He asked, "You want to use it to place a bet?"
Su Weiyun said, "You can't guess it, right? Someone is willing to bet 500,000 taels of silver on such a tattered wedding dress. Don't you think it's strange?!"
…
August 24th.
In the secret room on the ground, a bright red wedding dress was spread out under a bright lamp.
Fang Yufei smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Su, this is just a phoenix wedding dress. Although the needlework and silk are very good, I'm afraid it's not worth 500,000 taels of silver..."
Su Weiyun said: "If I say it's worth it, then it's worth it. Yu Luosha will also think so."
"But..." Fang Yufei picked up the wedding dress and looked at it again and again, but still couldn't figure out the value of this wedding dress.
Fang Yuxiang picked up the candlestick, carefully fiddled with it, and shone it from different angles. Suddenly she said, "Look, this wedding dress seems to change color."
Sure enough, Fang Yufei looked closely and saw that the color of the wedding dress was originally bright red, but from time to time it showed blue and purple light, and some of it was even colorful. Combined with the real phoenix pattern on it, it was like a fairy dress in mythology , hazy, fantastic, and mysterious.
“It’s a real treasure.”
Fang Yuxiang couldn't help but admire.
Girls have a special feeling about getting married, so it is inevitable that they will feel happy when they see such an exquisite wedding dress.
"It's a pity that the stitching is a bit messy in some places. The stitches are not neat and the rolling stitches are not very interesting."
Although she was rich and could not embroider, she had seen a lot of expensive clothes and could be considered a semi-connoisseur.
"But I still want it!"
Fang Yuxiang tried it on and put on her wedding dress. The phoenix print was on her back. Under the candlelight, her whole body seemed to be glowing.
She suddenly became much more mysterious.
Such is the magic of a wedding dress.
Su Weiyun asked with a smile: "If you can only choose one between the wedding dress and the jade token, which one would you choose?"
"If I really have to choose..." Fang Yuxiang hesitated for a long time before answering: "I'll choose the wedding dress."
Su Weiyun clapped his hands and laughed: "Hahahahahaha, look, Yufei, I think this wedding dress is worth five hundred thousand taels, right? Yu Luosha's vision is as good as Sister Yuxiang's!"
Fang Yufei had no choice but to nod.
Su Weiyun suddenly took out an embroidery needle from her bosom and said with a smile: "Maybe you are still unconvinced in your heart now, but if I embroider some more things on it, this wedding dress will immediately become valuable."
There should be a phoenix and a phoenix on the back of the wedding dress, but this time there is only one "phoenix".
The other side was blank, and Su Weiyun had not had time to carve it.
But now he seemed to be planning to stop.
Fang Yuxiang was surprised and asked, "Brother Su...what are you going to embroider on it?"
Su Weiyun said calmly: "Embroider a master."
He picked up the thin needle and quickly began to embroider on it using the finest thread he brought from Shenzhen Villa.
What Su Weiyun embroidered was not a pattern, but a person's name.
Fang Yufei, the Flying Jade Tiger, the Grand Master.
He is indeed a master in embroidery.
Fang Yufei looked at it for a long time before asking, "You embroidered my name? Is my name worth five hundred thousand taels?"
Su Weiyun said: "Your name may not be worth that much, but if you add the names of others, it's almost enough."
Fang Yufei asked: "Whose other names are they?"
"The names of all the great masters in the world."
Su Weiyun seemed to want to embroider all the grandmasters' names and martial arts realms on it. What was the purpose of this? What was the meaning of this?
Fang Yuxiang also asked this question out of curiosity: "In the martial arts world, the one with the highest achievements is called a Grand Master. I know this realm, but you embroidered it on a wedding dress, this..."
Su Weiyun asked: "Are you wondering what the use of doing this is?"
Fang Yuxiang hummed.
Su Weiyun looked at Fang Yufei again and said, "Do you want to know too?"
Fang Yufei stared at her name on the wedding dress with a dull look in her eyes, and said, "Yes."
Su Weiyun said: "Do you want to hear the truth?"
"Of course I'll listen to the truth."
Su Weiyun smiled, then walked out of the underground secret room and said, "The Jade Rakshasa is coming with such force that I have no choice but to act mysteriously to scare him."
