According to the rules, Lu Yao had won. He had won four thousand silvers, and even after losing three thousand, he had won a total of a thousand.

The bookkeeper handed her some banknotes, but she said calmly, "There's no need to give it to me. One thousand taels for one chicken, four thousand for King Tie and the three for the defeated chickens."

Raising a chicken with a thousand taels of silver really scared me.

Lu Yao arrogantly said, "Don't think that a woman can't be played with. If I can afford it, it's just a matter of money. I don't have anything, only money."

I pulled her along. "Alright, alright, stop being greedy. I don't really like it. Let's just take a walk around and go back."

"Yes." She stood up and clapped her hands.

Outside the door, she laughed. "Zhiqiu, why would you want to win? Actually, it's not that I'm smart, it's just that I need to use three. When it sees its companions fall one by one, even chickens are afraid of death. It has nowhere to run, and if it doesn't fight, it won't be able to live. As for that flower rooster, having won so many times in a row, he's already so arrogant. I'm sure he doesn't put it in his eyes, and only won in this way.

"I don't like it." I sighed. "I feel cruel. Why let the chickens fight?"

If there were too many people, they would have nothing to do.

She laughed. "You, ah, are too pitiful. "You see, it's still too early. Let's go eat some more."

"Still eating." I frowned and said bitterly, "I don't think so. I feel full."

"Beijing, how much do I like it?" She stood watching, a smile on her face. "I want to scream that I'm here."

"You're crazy."

"Yes, I'm crazy. I almost went crazy."

I shook my head. "I don't care about you. I'll go and see if there are any clothes that I like."

Those materials are very good, but they really can't compare to the cloud embroidery brocade in the palace. I don't want to be a good person to wear, but I just don't want others to look down on the little prince.

Lu Yao excitedly pulled me to an antique shop nearby. She stopped in front of the bamboo flute and looked up at it eagerly.

The shop owner came over, waving his fan and said, "Miss, you're here again. What kind of flute do you want to buy today?"

"What's the difference?" she asked seriously.

The shop owner shook his head, "There's really nothing else. Miss has seen all of the flute in the store. Miss really loves flute. I've already paid attention to that. When there's something else, I'll definitely keep it for you."

"Luyao." I called to her softly, "Stop looking."

"But I want to see it. What should I do?" She looked at me sadly.

I shook my head. "No, we don't know how to play the flute. We don't even know how to listen."

She smiled, bit her lip and felt a bit sad. She turned her head and looked back, but she did not look back.

The flute, Xia Junchang's favorite flute, he played it so clearly and moving, but it was really not suitable for us to listen to and think about.

"Miss, why don't we buy a guqin. The sound is quite good." The shopkeeper followed her. "A person like Miss must have a great background. She definitely knows how to play the zither."

"Zhiqiu, let me give you a gift." She tried two sounds.

I shook my head.

"You can't stop playing because of your senior brother."

"I still don't want to." I resolutely said, "There isn't anything suitable for us. Let's just leave. At this time, we really should head back earlier."

She turned around to look at the flute and reluctantly said, "Shop, there are some differences that you really have to keep for me. No matter how expensive you are, I will buy it twice over."

"Yes, yes, yes, Miss, don't worry. It's not your second time doing business with Miss, of course I'll leave it for you."

Just as they were about to leave, a woman with a child said, "Miss, do you want to buy a flute? I have a very different one at home. "

"Your home?" Lu Yao raised his eyebrows.

It was obvious that she could not believe it. The woman had probably spent more than a few years with a child in her arms. She was laughing heartily, even though her clothes were a bit dirty.

That's right, miss. My husband was a scholar, a scholar, and a fan of music, calligraphy, and paintings, but he was never accepted into the academy, so he started his business as a friend. It's a pity that he got infected with bad habits, so he could only sell off his family property to spend his money on us, but there are still some good things that I can't hide from him, and he still has to grow up, and he still has to study." "" She spoke with a touch of sadness, and her eyes were moist as she breathed in.

Money was nothing to Lu Yao. She could afford to raise a chicken for a thousand taels. If that woman asked for it, she wouldn't be stingy.

But she asked, "What's your flute?"

"A pure black jade flute from the Zu family."

"I've never heard of this." Lu Yao replied, "The store only sells white jade, green jade, red jade, yellow jade, and pure black jade, but I've never seen any."

She was rather interested. "Are they still there?"

"There's even a stone flute here. It's very smooth." she said excitedly.

"Zhiqiu, I want to go take a look." She looked back for my opinion, but there was a pleading look in her eyes. She wanted me to go with her again.

I asked the woman, "Is it far?"

"Not too far away. We'll be there once we leave the capital and head south." She joyfully said, "If Miss likes it, I will secretly sell it to Miss for some silver to transfer to the child to study."

From there, I could see my home.

I was a little tempted. It's rare for me to come out, so I'll just go.

Lu Yao called for a cart to catch them. After they left the capital, they arrived at a bustling place. They didn't stop until they turned a corner and headed towards a small road to the south. They would be able to see the ripe rice.

The golden millet hung down from the foreman's, and far away it was full of them. The wind blew, sending up golden waves, and the farmers reaped the harvest in the sun, their faces suffused with the joy of a plentiful harvest.

In the distance, I can also see my house, so lonely and lonely stand in the field.

"So beautiful." Lu Yao closed his eyes, "Smell the fragrance of the rice."

"You must be all from the Miss's family. Where do you live?" The woman asked, "These can also be considered beautiful. Ai, actually, what's so good about it?"

"Hur hur." Lu Yao chuckled, "If you can't look, then of course you can't say it's beautiful."

The woman laughed and said, "That's true, I was born a vulgar man."

After a while, he suddenly said, "If my husband's family didn't fall, his family wouldn't marry a wife like me. Right now, I just want my child to be able to take the exam and gain some reputation for me."

I don't have anything to say, but I hope that he will grow up soon. I don't need to fight for my life.

I don't want anything to do with him. I just want him to grow up.

After walking for a long time, they finally arrived at a shabby little house. She jumped off the carriage and entered with the child. After that, she hurriedly came out and said in a low voice, "My husband is at home. If he sees it, it would be terrible. Hurry and drive the carriage away so he won't see it."

He thought it would be troublesome, but Lu Yao also told the driver to go first. He had planned to take a look at it. If it was easy to buy one, he would take a horse carriage back to the capital.

After the carriage driver left, she said, "I'll take you to sit under the tree for a while. After my husband leaves, I'll bring it out for you to see. That's the treasure of the family. If he finds out, he'll beat me up again." She spoke so piteously that it was hard for me and Luyao to say anything.

Sitting under a tree, the child brought us two cups of water and said softly, "My mother said that my father will leave soon. She told you to stay and drink a cup of water. This well water is delicious."

Lu Yao took a sip and said, "It's quite cold, a little sweet. Try it, Zhiqiu."

I raised the water to my lips and put it back down. "I think you really shouldn't do this anymore. If he finds out, he would be rude to you."

The emperor was a rather selfish person. If he didn't want it, he wouldn't love it. He could just leave it in the cold palace and think about anyone, but not Xia Junchang.

He was actually jealous of Xia Junchang, jealous of his mother's concubine treating him well.

There was pity in Lu Yao's eyes as he held my hand and said, "This is the last time. If it's not bad, I'll buy it. I won't think about this ever again."

I nodded. It's hard to love someone.

Lu Yao took another sip of water. "Why isn't it sweet anymore? Does it still have a weird flavor?"

"Hur hur." The kid looked at us from a distance and laughed. "Because they put something in there."

"Ah!" Lu Yao screamed as he stood up. He rubbed his head with one hand and fell down, but I simply threw my water cup away. When I turned around to look, I was struck hard on the neck.

When I woke up, my eyes were dark, and I couldn't move because of the stabbing pain in my neck.

Cold water poured on his body, and he became more and more clear-headed, and slowly, he could be seen again.

Lu Yao and I were tied up with a ball of cloth stuffed in our mouths. In the dark room, there was only a single candle flame lit. Outside the window, it was also pitch black.

My heart is anxious again, by night we have not gone back, but Xu, he will cry how to do? If the palace maids can't find us, they will definitely die of anxiety.

Lu Yao, who had been tied up, looked at them coldly, his eyes filled with hatred.

The woman and the man sat on the chairs. The man looked at the stack of silver notes on the table and said, "You are indeed a rich man. A chicken costs a thousand taels. I wonder how much more you can take out."

"Hubby." The woman laughed. "I've searched it, that's all."

The man stood up, his eyes dark and sinister. He looked at Lu Yao and smiled, "Is that so? "I searched and found that women are the best at hiding things. The more valuable something is, the more secretive it is."

A thick hand touched Lu Yao's face and said, "Young lady of a rich family, your skin is indeed very smooth. What are you looking at me with? Do you want me to touch more parts of your body? " She indistinctly inhaled next to her ear. "Fragrant, beautiful woman. I'll teach you the pleasures of men and women. You'll definitely like it."
