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.
At this moment, at the stall next door to Guanpu, the stall owner suddenly called out: "Look, look, I have 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."
Niuniu 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 being low and low, but now when she saw his behavior 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 thing on someone else's stall."
Niu Niu explained: "I am a rabbit, so Aunt Liu bought 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 do the money work 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 still have 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 prize 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, and a group of people rushed in, thinking that this lucky guy was Own.
But after standing around for a long time, there were only various regretful "ouch" sounds coming from inside, as well as the stall owner's angry words such as "The golden sheep will come out soon" and "I'm sure I'll make another bet".
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 to enjoy everyone's attention. He felt that even if he didn't get anything, the money was worth it.
Then he really didn't get anything.
The grand prize of Guanpu is the golden sheep, but there are also some small prizes to help people get back their money, such as a cake, a fan, a headscarf and other small things.
Let alone cakes, Cheng He tried ten times and didn't even get the cheapest hair band.
"Oh, this man has really bad luck."
"You're right, I just looked at him for a long time, with dark clouds covering his head and black forehead, looking very unlucky."
Listening to the discussions of the people around him, Cheng He became more and more excited. He didn't believe that he couldn't get anything.
"Ten more times!" Cheng He shouted.
This time, the Guanpu mode is a dart turntable with different patterns painted on it. The stall owner rotates the turntable, and the buyer throws the dart. Whatever pattern is hit, the reward will be obtained.
Seeing that Cheng He was already intoxicated, the stall owner smiled and pulled the dart he had just shot off the turntable and handed it to Cheng He.
The turntable turned again.
The ten darts in Cheng He's hand were soon empty again.
"Impossible, this is impossible!" Cheng He's eyes were red. It was not the first time he played the dart turntable, and he had never been as unlucky as today.
Cheng He turned around and saw Liu Xiaoru holding Niuniu and looking at him with strange eyes.
He made up his mind and said, "Ten more darts, no, twenty more darts!"
