Chapter 52: Take a chance
Chapter 52 Take Your Luck
Wu Zhao looked at the girl with a slightly changed face, and thought she would say something, but she just took another sip of tea.
After a moment of silence between the two, Xu Mingyi asked, “I don’t know when Mr. Wu will leave Beijing?”
"This matter is not in a hurry."
Wu Chao was afraid of her misunderstanding, so he added: "There are still things left to be done."
Xu Mingyi's doubts arose from the bottom of his heart.
Wu Chao entered Beijing for the Queen’s birthday banquet. Now that the birthday banquet is over, there has been a previous assassination. If you want to come to Wu’s family, you should not want him to stay in Beijing for a long time.
In the previous life, he returned to Ningyang a little late because the two ‘discussed marriage’.
What important things does he have to stay in Beijing to do it himself?
Xu Mingyi was puzzled in his heart, but he knew that this was the other party’s private matter, so he didn’t ask much, but said: “Wu Gongzi will still live in Beijing for some time. If you need help in the future, just speak up.”
This sounds like a polite remark on the scene.
But her tone of voice was serious, and she dispelled the sense of politeness a lot.
Wu Zhao looked at her, frowning slightly.
...Didn’t they say it clearly to each other that night?
In just a short time, did she fall so deeply?
Understanding the other person's eyes, Xu Mingyi, who was exhausted in his heart, resisted the urge to pour the tea over to make the other person wake up.
"Don't get me wrong, Master Wu."
She patiently explained: "I have this to say, but I just want to interact with Master Wu and help each other."
This time, she asked Wu Chao to help the empress to pay attention to the prince's affairs. It was a temporary motive, but the other party was quick and simple, and very interesting. It was undoubtedly an excellent partner for cooperation.
There are many things she needs to do, and it’s always good to have one more way.
And if she could, while protecting the town’s government office, she didn’t want to see the tragedy of Wu’s family again in her previous life.
She has limited abilities, and what she can do through Wu Chao may be another way.
The girl looked serious, and after Wu Zhao was silent for a moment, he said: "... let's talk about it."
Is the other party unwilling to kill him, or did he feel that he was very happy to help this time, and the wool was so good that he just wanted to enclose him in the sheepfold?
Although it is still uncertain, no matter what kind of possibility it is, it is not a happy thing for him.
Besides, what can he need her or a little girl to help?
Hit people?
He can do it himself.
Xu Mingyi raised his eyebrows slightly.
It seems that Wu Shisun feels that she cannot be used.
It’s also right. Mutual assistance is based on the premise that each other has the ability.
It seems that she has to find a chance to show her sincerity.
Xu Mingyi looked at the scene outside the teahouse through the half-open carved wooden window.
Chengnan Lane is not lively, here is a quiet place at the end of the street, but there are only a few pedestrians.
Wait, Chengnan Lane?
Xu Mingyi didn't know what he thought of, his eyes brightened.
I only mentioned one thing last night when my grandfather was chatting with her...
"If Miss Xu still wants to sit down, just please, if Wu has something to do, she will leave first." Wu Chao stood up and said.
"No, I will go with Master Wu."
Xu Mingyi followed and stood up.
Before Wu Chao could speak, he listened to her again: "Why don't you pack some more food?"
Is she not full?
Wu Chao subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the food on the table.
It seemed that she had only eaten two snacks. He thought she was not hungry, so he ate so fast, because he didn't want her to wait.
The teenager didn't think there was anything wrong with girls being able to eat, so he didn't say much, but went downstairs and ordered the guy to prepare some simple food to take away.
"You need some meat." The girl added to the side: "One more pot of wine."
"..." Wu Zhao's mouth twitched slightly.
I really don’t see the outside, do you really think of him as the fat sheep in your own sheepfold?
After the guy packed up food and drinks, Azhu took it and put it in his hand.
Wu Chao paid the money and left the teahouse with Xu Mingyi.
Outside the teahouse, the teenager paused.
Busy, he also helped, and he invited the fan. You can always get out now, right?
Ran, the word "Farewell" came to the lips, but the girl smiled in front of him and said: "I will take Master Wu to try my luck."
Take luck?
Wu Chao frowned in doubt.
Xu Mingyi pointed to an alley ahead: "Not far, just in front of this alley."
Wu Chao looked in the direction she was pointing, and his brows became more frowning.
That's the way he walked when he came. Wouldn't he know that there is a gambling shop there with a good memory?
Do you really want to take him to try his luck?
Looking at the wine and vegetables that the maid was holding, there was something Wu Shisun didn’t understand.
Eating meat, drinking, gambling...!
A girl’s family, and the stepmother who is the first person in the capital to fight the horse crane, can't satisfy her?
The wanton level of this girl Xu really made him even more admired.
Wu Chao said in a disdainful tone: "Ms. Xu went to the gambling shop for fun, Wu will not be accompanied."
Xu Mingyi was at a loss.
What and what?
Whether Wu Shisun’s head can take a moment to stop his endless imagination!
"I went to meet someone."
She hurriedly said: "Master Wu, let me go and know it at first sight."
Now I want her to tell her that she doesn’t understand the specifics. Only when she sees someone can she decide the rest.
Seeing that the girl turned around with the maid, Wu Zhao hesitated for a moment, but after all he followed up with his hand.
He wanted to see what medicine this girl Xu sold in the gourd.
Out of the short alley, there are several old shops selling medicinal materials on both sides, and the smell of unknown medicinal materials enters the nose.
There is indeed a gambling house not far away, but it doesn’t seem to be lively.
Xu Mingyi’s eyes searched around for a while, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Wu Chao with a smile: "Let's go."
Wu Chao was still puzzled, and followed her to a stop in front of a fortune-telling booth.
Behind the stall, a fat, bald, middle-aged man in his forties sits on a stool with missing feet with his arms folded, leaning against the wall and closing his eyes to rest. Moved his nose and sniffed.
is the aroma of roast chicken and good wine.
His belly screamed more happily, but he still didn't open his eyes.
After all, I can't eat it after watching it, so it's better not to watch it, so as not to have the urge to violate the Daqing law.
"Sir, can you do business?"
The girl's Qing Lingling's voice came into her ears like a spring between mountains and streams, and the middle-aged man opened his eyes.
Entering the eyes is a pair of teenagers and girls with excellent looks and extraordinary temperament.
The girl has an approachable smile on her face, and the pear vortex is looming on her cheek.
The middle-aged man blinked his eyes, his eyes stayed on the two of them for a moment, and asked out loudly—
"Are they married?"
Good noon everyone
Thanks to the dynamic cat, Le San Ye, Bright Moon, and Deer Spirit Girl for their rewards.
