Chapter 52

Wu Tsung looked at the girl whose face changed slightly. She thought she would say something, but she just took another sip of tea.

After a moment of silence between them, Xu Mingyi asked, "when will Mr. Wu leave Beijing?"

"It's not urgent."

For fear of her misunderstanding, Wu Tsui specially added: "there are still things to be done."

Xu Mingyi's doubts suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart.

Wu Chiu came to Beijing for the Queen's birthday banquet. Now the birthday banquet has been completed. He was assassinated before. If you want to come to the Wu family, you should not want him to stay in Beijing for a long time.

In the last life, he returned to Ningyang a little late because of their "marriage discussion".

What important matter does he have to stay in Beijing and do it himself?

Although Xu Mingyi was confused, he also knew that this was the other party's private affair, so he didn't ask much. He just said, "since childe Wu still wants to live in Beijing for some time, if you need help in the future, just speak."

It sounds like a polite remark on the scene.

But her serious tone dissipated this sense of politeness.

Wu Tsung looked at her and frowned slightly.

... didn't they make it clear to each other that night?

Did she fall so deep in a short time?

Understanding each other's eyes, Xu Mingyi, who was exhausted in his heart, couldn't resist the impulse to pour the tea at hand to wake him up.

"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Wu."

She explained patiently, "I just want to go back and forth with Mr. Wu and help each other."

This time, she asked Wu Chiu to help the empress pay attention to the prince. It was a temporary intention, but the other party was happy, simple and interesting. It is undoubtedly an excellent partner.

She needs to do a lot of things. It's always good to have another way.

And if she could, while protecting the town government, she didn't want to see the Wu family suffer the tragedy of the previous life.

Her ability is limited. It may also be a way to do what she can from it through Wu Tsui.

The girl looked serious. After a moment of silence, Wu Tsung said: "... Talk again."

Whether the other party was unfaithful to him, or did he feel that he helped him so much this time that he picked up the wool, so he just wanted to gather him in the sheepfold and collect it as needed?

Although it is still uncertain, either possibility is not a happy thing for him.

Besides, what can he do for a little girl?

Hit someone?

He can do it himself.

Xu Mingyi raised his eyebrows slightly.

It seems that Wu Shisun doesn't think he can use her.

That's right. Helping each other is based on each other's ability. If not, one party will take advantage and play hooligans.

It seems that she has to find an opportunity to show her sincerity.

Xu Mingyi looked out of the teahouse through the half open carved wooden window.

Chengnan lane is not lively. It is a secluded place at the end of the street. There are only a few pedestrians.

Wait, Chengnan lane?

Xu Mingyi didn't know what he thought and his eyes lit up.

Grandpa mentioned one thing when he chatted with her last night

"If Miss Xu still wants to sit down, please. Wu has something else to do, so I'll leave first." Wu Chiu got up and said.

"No, I'll go with Mr. Wu."

Xu Mingyi stood up.

Before Wu Tsui could speak, he heard her say, "why don't you pack some more food?"

Isn't she full?

Wu Tsui subconsciously turned his head and looked at the food on the table.

She did seem to have eaten only two snacks just now. He thought she was not hungry, so he ate so fast. He didn't want her to wait.

The boy didn't think it was bad for girls to eat. He didn't say much. He just went downstairs and asked the waiter to prepare some simple food to take away.

"You have to have some meat." the girl added, "another pot of wine."

"..." Wu Tsung twitched slightly from the corner of his mouth.

I really don't see the outside. Do you really think of him as a fat sheep in your own sheepfold?

After the waiter packed his food and drinks, ah Zhu came forward and took it in his hand.

Wu Tsui paid the silver and went out of the teahouse with Xu Mingyi.

Outside the teahouse, the boy paused.

He also helped me and invited me to dinner. Can I always get away now?

However, a "farewell" came to his mouth, but the girl smiled in front of him and said, "I'll take Mr. Wu to take a chance."

Take a chance?

Wu Tsung frowned suspiciously.

Xu Mingyi pointed to an alley in front of him: "not far. It's in front of this alley."

Wu Tsung looked in the direction she pointed, and her eyebrows were frowning and tightening.

When he came, he went that way. With a good memory, he didn't know there was a gambling shop there.

Are you really taking him to try his luck?

Looking at the wine and vegetables in the servant girl's hand, Wu Shisun didn't understand.

Eat meat, drink, gamble!

A girl's family, following her stepmother who has the first person to play horse hanging in the capital, can't satisfy her?

The wanton degree of this Miss Xu really made him more and more impressed.

Wu Tsui took a really flattering language: "Miss Xu went to the gambling house for fun, and Wu won't accompany her."

Xu Mingyi was at a loss.

What and what?

Can Wu Shisun's head rest for a moment and stop his endless imagination!

"To see someone."

She hurriedly said, "young master Wu, follow me and you'll know as soon as you see me."

Now I want her to say that she doesn't understand the details. Only when she meets someone can she decide the rest.

Seeing that the girl turned around with her servant girl, Wu Tsui hesitated for a moment and followed up with her negative hand.

He wants to see what medicine this girl Xu sells in her gourd.

Out of the short lane, there are several old shops selling medicinal materials on both sides. Into the nose, there is an unknown aroma of medicinal materials.

There is indeed a gambling house not far away, but it doesn't seem lively.

Xu Mingyi's eyes searched around for a moment. His eyes lit up and looked at Wu Tsui with a smile: "let's go."

Wu Tsui still didn't understand her intention and followed her to stop in front of a fortune telling stall.

Behind the stall, a fat, bald, middle-aged man of about 40 sat on the bench without feet with his arms. He closed his eyes against the wall. When he heard the sound of footsteps, he didn't even open his eyes, but moved his nose and sniffed.

It's the smell of roast chicken and good wine.

The belly screamed more happily, but he still didn't open his eyes.

After all, I can't eat after reading it. It's better not to see it, so as to avoid the impulse to violate the Daqing law.

"Sir, are you in business?"

The girl's voice was as beautiful as the sound of a spring in the mountains and streams, and the middle-aged man opened his eyes.

It is a pair of teenagers and girls with excellent appearance and extraordinary temperament.

The girl had an approachable smile on her face, and the pear vortex loomed on her cheeks.

The middle-aged man blinked, looked at them for a moment and asked——

"Are you married?"
