"Why must they follow a pattern? What pattern? "Wen Dabao was confused.
"Haha, of course it's a woman's pattern." Fang Zhengzhi looked at Ping Yang, who was equally confused. Then, he chuckled and replied matter-of-factly.
"Women have a pattern?" Wen Dabao was stunned.
"Mm, a woman's body structure is different from a man's body structure. Don't you know that?" Fang Zhengzhi asked.
"Young Master Fang is indeed a kindred spirit. You're talking about breasts and that … right?" Wen Dabao immediately revealed an expression that all men would understand after hearing Fang Zhengzhi's words.
"Breasts my ass! That my ass! I'm talking about the menstrual cycle. Do you know what that is? " Fang Zhengzhi looked at Wen Dabao in disdain and sighed to himself. Does this guy think that the only difference between a man and a woman is their breasts?
"I... I don't know..." Wen Dabao panicked.
"It's when a woman is inconvenient. Every woman will have a few days of inconvenience in a month. This is the difference between a man and a woman!" Fang Zhengzhi explained helplessly.
"Shameless!" Ping Yang blushed when she heard this. Then, she glared at Fang Zhengzhi and scolded him.
Yan Xiu also looked at Fang Zhengzhi. His expression was cold, but his eyes flashed with a strange light.
As for Wen Dabao...
After being stunned for a moment, he finally came to his senses. In an instant, his somewhat confused eyes lit up.
"Oh, I know, I know that. It's written in the books. But what does this have to do with betting on the seven stars?" Wen Dabao asked expectantly.
When the young nobles around them heard this, they looked at each other with their faces flushed red.
To them, it was unheard of to talk about a woman's menstrual cycle in broad daylight.
"This person's shamelessness is unparalleled!"
"A person can be shameless to such an extent. It's really unimaginable!"
"How can he talk about this in public? No matter what, he is still considered a scholar. Don't tell me he doesn't have the slightest bit of a scholar's demeanor? "
Fang Zhengzhi's face was naturally filled with disdain towards the discussions around him. As someone who had experienced it in his previous life, this topic was not only not shameless, it was also extremely serious.
Besides, this was just common sense. What was there to be surprised about?
"Speaking of relationships, you have to understand what this has to do with betting on the Big Dipper. The first thing you have to do is to respect women!" Fang Zhengzhi didn't answer Wen Dabao's question immediately. Instead, he said righteously.
"This guy is openly discussing this topic, and he still has the nerve to say that he respects women?"
"Shameless!"
When the surrounding nobles and young masters heard Fang Zhengzhi's words, they instantly revealed looks of disdain.
It wasn't just the surrounding scholars who looked down on Fang Zhengzhi.
Ping Yang was also looking at Fang Zhengzhi with disdain. In her eyes, Fang Zhengzhi clearly had nothing to do with respecting a woman.
"Respect women?" Wen Dabao naturally didn't have this concept in his heart. He was confused.
After all, he had too many women in his family. These women were basically servants of the Wen Residence, and they were subject to abuse and abuse. Naturally, there was no respect for women.
Most importantly, women were basically the weakest in this world.
Of course...
This did not include Chi Guyan, but there was only one Chi Guyan in the entire Great Xia Dynasty. Naturally, they could not be lumped together.
Fang Zhengzhi had no intention of explaining. He was already used to this world's philosophy. In a world where the strong ruled, women were naturally the weakest. They were oppressed and bullied.
Many times, they didn't even have the right to choose their marriage. Even some of the daughters of the wealthy families were kept in their chambers. When they grew up, they would be used for marriage alliances and power struggles.
Resistance?
That was too little.
In the entire Great Xia Dynasty, many daughters of the wealthy families didn't even get to see the groom before they got married. After that, they were beaten and scolded. They didn't even dare to complain to their parents.
Fang Zhengzhi was a man, and he had been in this world for more than a decade. However, he still believed in equality between men and women.
"A man who knows how to respect women would definitely not allow them to perform on stage during those few days. Because, during those few days, their bodies would be in pain. Furthermore, they would not be in a good mood. They would not be able to drink cold water, and they would not be able to overwork themselves..." Fang Zhengzhi listed out the things to take note of during those few days.
His voice wasn't loud, but all of the youths who were discussing amongst themselves quietened down. All of them looked at Fang Zhengzhi in disbelief.
Because...
They were not completely unaware of what Fang Zhengzhi was talking about. However, they had never paid attention to it, or rather, they had never thought about it.
"This shameless fella, he actually..." Ping Yang's eyes widened. As a woman, she naturally knew that what Fang Zhengzhi said was true.
There were even some things that even she didn't know. For example, she shouldn't eat spicy food, and she had to pay attention to keeping her stomach warm.
It was too detailed, so detailed that it was a little excessive.
Of course, the most important thing was that Ping Yang could never have imagined that anyone would care about this. Even her most beloved father, the Emperor, had never asked her about this.
But now...
These words actually came out of Fang Zhengzhi's mouth. They came out of the mouth of the shameless Fang Zhengzhi who dared to openly talk about such a shameless topic in front of her.
Silence. The entire place was silent!
Even the women waving their handkerchiefs at the Seven Star Lane's entrance stopped what they were doing. All of them looked at Fang Zhengzhi, their eyes glimmering.
"This is what a man should be!"
"A man who truly understands women!"
Fang Zhengzhi did not know that when he was talking about general knowledge, he would cause such a huge stir in the hearts of Ping Yang and the rest. After listing out many things to take note of, he finally stopped.
"That's... that's it?" Wen Dabao was the first to regain his senses when Fang Zhengzhi stopped talking.
"That's it." Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
"Then what does this have to do with betting on the Seven Star Lane … oh! I get it now. The main hostesses of the Seven Star Lane are all women. That's why they don't come out during those few days! " Wen Dabao was about to ask again when he realized what Fang Zhengzhi was talking about. His face flushed with excitement.
"You're finally smart for once." Fang Zhengzhi chuckled.
"Thank you Young Master Fang for the compliment... hang on... hang on, what do you mean I'm finally smart for once? That means I was very stupid before! "
"You're worth teaching!"
"Oh..." Wen Dabao was speechless.
However, when he thought about how he had grasped the pattern, his face was filled with excitement. He ignored Fang Zhengzhi and walked towards the stage. However, just as he took a step, he stopped. Because, he thought of a new problem.
"But how do I know when the main hostesses will be busy?"
"Mm, that's why you need to ask." Fang Zhengzhi smiled.
"Ask? Ask who? "
"Ask whoever interacts with the main hostesses the most."
"Interacts with the main hostesses the most? Ha... I know, the personal servants of the main hostesses. They take care of the main hostesses every day. They will know when they are busy! "
"That's right."
"Then I'll go now!" Wen Dabao ignored Fang Zhengzhi and sprinted towards the Seven Star Lane. He was like a hungry dog that had just found its prey.
Yan Xiu and Ping Yang looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
"Shameless guy, you've said so much. Why don't you tell me what I should do after knowing this?" Ping Yang said.
"Logical reasoning!" Fang Zhengzhi replied.
"Logical reasoning?"
"Mm, we'll use the elimination method to get rid of the inconvenient hostesses. Then, we'll try to find the most attractive combination. Of course, the combination has to be different each time." Fang Zhengzhi explained.
"With Wen Dabao's IQ, he shouldn't be able to think so deeply, right?" Ping Yang's eyes lit up. After thinking for a moment, she said with certainty.
"Yes, because there are still some problems. For example, a woman's menstrual cycle changes. I don't think he knows about this. Then, there's the novelty of the combination. This involves psychological knowledge etc."
"So, he will still lose?"
"Maybe. But one thing is for sure. If he knows this, he will have a higher chance of winning in the future." Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
"I don't know why, but I have a feeling that the boss of the Seven Star Lane uses this method. Are you the boss of the Seven Star Lane?" Ping Yang looked at Fang Zhengzhi quizzically.
"Do I look like one?"
"Hahaha... you do. It's a pity that you don't have as much money as I do. You can't be the boss of the Seven Star Lane."
"Is that so?" Fang Zhengzhi smirked.
Just at that moment, a figure ran out from the Seven Star Lane and stood in front of them. He looked like he had just picked up a treasure.
"Hahaha... I got it! I'm rich! I'm rich!" Wen Dabao was rarely as excited as he was today. He was so excited that it was almost as if there were countless gold ingots in front of him.
"Are you sure you got it?" Fang Zhengzhi asked.
"Of course, who do you think I am? Not only did I manage to find them, but I also asked the waiters in the Seven Star Lane just to be safe! "Wen Dabao exclaimed excitedly.
"Not bad." Fang Zhengzhi nodded approvingly.
"Not bad. I've even thought of what I'm going to bet on. I'm going to bet big this time. I'm going to take out all the money I have."
"Oh? You want to bet that much? "
"Of course. I did some calculations. In order to guarantee that I will win, I have to bet on at least six. Even though I have to bet six at the same time, I will still win ten times the amount I bet on one. Do you want to bet with me?" Wen Dabao rubbed his hands together as he spoke.
"I need to observe for a while longer." Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
He very much approved of Wen Dabao's method. This was also a method. When the final result couldn't be accurately calculated, all the possible results were covered …
They could still make a killing.
Of course, this method required a huge investment. However, if one was confident, they could still have a 90% chance of winning.
"Okay, I'll go!" Wen Dabao ignored Fang Zhengzhi. He took out a stack of notes and ran towards the stage.
The surrounding aristocratic young masters exchanged glances with each other. Then, they all followed Wen Dabao's lead and placed their bets.
"I'll bet a thousand silvers!"
"Two thousand! We're going to make a killing this time. I didn't know that there was such a rule for betting on seven stars! "
"That's right. Although I've always known that this fellow is quite shameless, I still have to admit that what he said makes sense!"
"Shh, just keep it to yourselves!"
All of the spectators snuck glances at Fang Zhengzhi as they followed Wen Dabao's lead.
The atmosphere became incomparably lively at this moment.
Along with the discussions in front of the gambling house, this news was like a huge stone falling into the water, stirring up a thousand ripples. The young masters of the aristocratic families who had been watching from the sidelines also came one after another.
Under Wen Dabao's lead.
Placing six bets in one go instantly became the norm. Stacks of banknotes rolled up like water, unable to be stopped at all.
When Fang Zhengzhi saw this, a bright smile appeared on his face.
"Are you still going to wait? If not, it's about to start. "Ping Yang reminded as she looked at the darkening sky.
"Mm, it's about time." Fang Zhengzhi nodded and walked towards the gambling table with a stack of notes in his hand.
Ping Yang and Yan Xiu followed.
When the spectators saw Ping Yang and Yan Xiu behind Fang Zhengzhi, they reluctantly made way for them.
Wen Dabao was sitting on the gambling table, bragging about how much he had paid to find the pattern. When he saw Fang Zhengzhi, he jumped down from the table.
"Hahaha, Young Master Fang, what do you want to bet?"
"Just bet on one." Fang Zhengzhi's lips curled into a smile. Then, he tossed the stack of silver in his hand onto the gambling table.
"Pa!" Almost thirty thousand taels of silver notes landed on the gambling table, giving off a light sound.
Then …
Each and every one of them widened their eyes in disbelief as they stared at the thick stack of silver notes.
As the young masters of the various aristocratic families in Yan Capital.
How could they not be knowledgeable? Thirty thousand taels of silver was indeed a large sum of money. However, they would not be intimidated by thirty thousand taels of silver.
After all, there were many cases of 30,000 silver notes being sold in the brothel. There were even cases of 100,000 silver notes being sold in one night.
However …
When thirty thousand silver taels landed in the middle of a gambling table, the feeling was completely different.
Right in the middle.
This was the place where most people placed their bets. However, for those who placed their bets on the seven stars, it was the place where they placed their bets the least.
There were four words printed in the middle …
"All seven stars!"
"He placed his bets on all seven stars? Hahaha … "
"Doesn't he know that the Seven Star Lane has only had one gathering of the seven stars in the past year? Furthermore, that happened more than half a year ago! "
"What is this guy thinking? Just now, you were still talking so eloquently about the rules, the rules, and now you're wasting so many silver notes? "
"Maybe he's out of his mind?"
The young masters of the aristocratic families looked at the thirty thousand taels of silver that had landed on the Seven Stars Gathering. After being stunned for a long time, they finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Fang Zhengzhi was also smiling, and his smile was extremely bright.
However …
Soon, he couldn't laugh anymore.
This was because two other voices rang in his ears.
"I am also placing my bet on all seven stars! 50,000 silver notes!"
