Chapter 108： Guan Pu

Chapter 108 Guan Pu

Cheng He touched his nose guiltily and said, "You are overthinking. How could I do such a thing? We met by chance on the street purely because we were destined."

Liu Xiaoru added: "What's even more coincidental is that we met by chance after we finished shopping."

Cheng He glanced at the large and small bags in Zhang Yunniang's hands. They were buying clothes and gold and silver, which most people couldn't afford.

"Xiaoru, have you bought anything you like? If not, I will go shopping with you." Cheng He said obediently.

It's not like Liu Xiaoru is really looking for girls. She feels annoyed when she sees this man now. If Cheng He didn't have some influence in the county, she would have turned against him long ago.

It just so happened that at the stall next door to Guanpu, the stall owner suddenly called out: "Look, look, I've taken out all the treasures at the bottom of the box, golden sheep! Ten cents, only ten cents, There is a chance to take away this golden sheep!”

The golden sheep held high by the stall owner for everyone to admire was about the size of a little finger. It was estimated by the naked eye that it only weighed 0.2 taels of gold. When converted, it was worth about 2 taels of silver.

In Guanpu, most people use a bet of ten cents to win a prize of a hundred cents. The stall owner takes out a prize worth two taels of silver, which is really a big investment.

Of course, there is only one such major jackpot, and the probability of getting it is extremely low.

Niuniu suddenly looked excited and said, "Mom, I want to play with this!"

Zhang Yunniang frowned slightly and let others talk about it. In her eyes, Guan Pu was just gambling.

"Good boy, this is for adults to play with, not for children."

Niu Niu lowered her head with a depressed expression.

Cheng He was reluctant to spend a lot of money, but he was happy to make up for the small money. He said to Niu Niu: "Niu Niu, call me uncle, and I will pay you to play Guan Pu, okay?"

When the little girl heard this, her delicate brows knitted together and she said, "Why should I call you uncle?"

Liu Xiaoru said unhappily: "Why are you telling a child about Wu Ying? You're not afraid of dirtying her ears!"

Cheng He interpreted her unhappiness as shyness and said, "It's all a matter of time, and Niuniu will change her tune when the time comes."

Liu Xiaoru glared at him fiercely and said, "If you continue to ruin my reputation like this, I will go to the Yamen and sue you!"

Cheng He thought she was being petty: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore. Don't be angry. It's all my fault."

In the past, Liu Xiaoru only thought it was sweet when she saw Cheng He lying down and being young, but now when she saw him acting like this, she wanted to spit it out on the spot.

She couldn't even figure out why she fell in love with such a thing in the first place.

"Niuniu, don't worry about him. If you want to play Guanpu, I'll pay for you." Liu Xiaoru pulled Niuniu over and said.

Niuniu sighed and said like a little adult: "Why do you all think I have no money?"

Liu Xiaoru was stunned. The way Niuniu begged Zhang Yunniang just now didn't look like she was rich at all.

Zhang Yunniang explained: "She just wants my consent."

Liu Xiaoru couldn't help laughing and said, "Our Niuniu is such a good kid. If you like something on the stall, I'll pounce on it for you."

Cheng He also said from the side: "I can also help you with the shot. I am proficient in the pass shot and can hit eight out of ten times."

Niu Niu shook her head and said, "What I want is better for me to fight for myself."

Liu Xiaoru stretched out her hand and gently pinched the little girl's fair face, and asked: "You are so stupid, what do you want? Why do you have to do it yourself?"

Niuniu tilted her little head and pointed at the golden sheep in the stall owner's hand: "I want that."

Liu Xiaoru clicked her tongue and said, "Little girl, you are so thoughtful that you went straight to the most valuable things on other people's stalls." Niu Niu explained: "I am a rabbit, so Aunt Liu, you bought it for me. A golden rabbit. Aunt Liu, you happen to be a sheep, so I also want to give you a golden sheep to pray for you. "

When Liu Xiaoru heard this, her heart seemed to be burned by something.

The little girl's eyes were pure, but she was complaining: "It's a pity that there is no other zodiac sign, so I can win a share for my parents, grandparents, and brothers!"

Niu Niu was kind-hearted, and Zhang Yuniang felt that she could not set the rules too rigidly, so she said: "Forget it this time, I will give you three chances to pounce. I won't do it next time."

Niuniu was so happy that she jumped up.

Cheng He looked at Liu Xiaoru's moved expression from the side. He didn't expect that a little girl could coax people better than him.

"Niuniu, you are a child. I will let you go when you are around. Let me take care of the money first. I also want to pray for your Aunt Liu." Cheng He felt that if he could get the Golden Sheep ahead of Niuniu, If you win, you will still be able to charm Liu Xiaoru to death!

If it had happened in the past, Liu Xiaoru might really feel that he was considerate and that he had saved Niu Niu's small treasury.

But now, Liu Xiaoru only felt that it was disgusting that Cheng He was robbing children.

Because of the big jackpot of the Golden Sheep, even if the stall owner raised the Guan Pu bet from ten cents to twenty cents, his stall was still packed with people. A group of people rushed in, thinking that this lucky guy was Own.

But after standing around for a long time, the only sounds that came from inside were various regretful "ouch" sounds, and the stall owner's angry words such as "The golden sheep will come out soon" and "I'm sure the next bet will be made".

Cheng He shouted loudly from the outside: "I'll pounce ten times!"

When the stall owner heard this, he quickly pushed the onlookers: "Quickly give way, the big customer is here!"

The crowd forced a way for the four people to walk in.

Cheng He only spent two coins and enjoyed everyone's attention. He felt that even if he didn't catch anything, the money was worth it.

Then he really didn't hit anything.

The grand prize in Guan Pu is a golden sheep, but there are also some small prizes that help people repay their money, such as a pastry, a fan, a headscarf and other small things.

Not to mention pastries, Cheng He pounced ten times, but he didn't even get a single piece of the cheapest headband.

"Oh, this husband is really unlucky."

"Don't tell me. I just looked at him for a long time. There were dark clouds covering his head and the hall was dark. He looked very unlucky."

Listening to the discussions among the people around him, Cheng He was getting more and more excited. He didn't believe that he couldn't pounce on anything.

"Ten more times!" Cheng He shouted.

This time, the Guanbao mode is a dart wheel. Different patterns are painted on the wheel. The stall owner turns the wheel, and the people who buy darts throw darts. Whichever pattern is hit, they will get rewards.

Seeing that Cheng He was already on the table, the stall owner smiled and pulled out the dart he had just shot from the turntable and gave it to Cheng He.

The turntable spins again.

The ten darts in Cheng He's hand soon became empty again.

"Impossible, this is impossible!" Cheng He's eyes were red. This was not his first time playing darts. He had never been so unlucky as today.

When Cheng He turned around, he saw Liu Xiaoru holding Niu Niu looking at him with strange eyes.

His heart skipped a beat and he said, "Ten more darts, no, twenty darts!"
