Eunuch's Favor: The ever-changing princess flirts with the governor

Chapter 21 Why did I do this?

Xiaotu's face was puffy and she tilted her head to look at him, "What's wrong?"

Ning Cuo said calmly, "Wait for me for a moment."

After saying this, the man turned around and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Xiao Tu looked at his back, which was too tall at the moment, and blinked strangely.

Ning Cuo walked to the darkness, and several murderous black shadows fell at the same time, and then everyone half-knelt on the ground, "Master."

Ning Cuo hummed lightly, "Get up."

The leader of the secret guards, Ada, stood up with his men, and then he carefully observed his master, and found that something seemed wrong with his expression.

He was immediately startled and bowed again, "Master, did you find anything wrong?"

Ning Cuo put his hands behind his back, his expression dignified, "Do you have any money?"

Ah Da: “???”

Uh, did he hear something wrong?

His usually cold and calm eyes now flashed with confusion, and he raised his head and looked at his master as if to confirm that he had heard it wrong.

But the man said slowly, "Lend me some money."

Commander Ada: "..."

The secret guards: “……..”

In the dark alley, a group of secret guards tried to touch him all over, but after searching his whole body, they could only gather more than thirty taels of silver.

Ah Da held all the money and walked towards the man step by step.

Ning Cuo was silent for a moment as he looked at the money which was barely enough to order a dish at Tianxianglou.

Seeing this, all the secret guards lowered their heads in shame.

They are useless. When they go out, they only remember to kill people and forget to bring money.

Ning Cuo fell silent for a short while, raised his hand to take the silver, and then leisurely left the alley.

Xiaotu was eating tofu pudding. Seeing him leave, she waved her hand, "Here, husband. I'm here."

Ning Cuo paid the flower cake owner one tael and three cents, and then paid the tofu pudding owner twenty cents.

Next, they looked at the lanterns and bought the most exquisitely crafted lantern rabbit for three taels of silver.

They watched a circus and got five taels of silver as a tip.

I spent one or two or three taels to play the ring toss game, and ten taels to play the guessing game...

Along the way, Xiaotu ate scallion pancakes, fresh meat noodles, chive dumplings, roasted pork, dried meat, spicy chicken shreds, lotus rolls, iced green bean soup, lychee paste, and sugar cold garden...

Under the cover of night, Ning Cuo looked at the dozen or so coins left in his hand and strangely felt that they were pretty good.

The night market was almost over, but I still had more than thirty taels of silver left.

If the little rabbit had listened to his advice and gone to Tianxianglou, he would have had to reveal his identity when paying the bill.

Looking at the woman in front of him who was jumping and having fun, Ning Cuo held the copper coin in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.

Xiaotu looked at the night market with his eyes like a treasure-hunting searchlight, and soon found a stall that interested him.

The boss was a woman in her thirties, quite pretty, with an exquisite mahogany hairpin on her head. She was dressed prettily and kept praising her wooden masks to the guests around her.

As soon as Xiao Tu got closer, her eyes lit up. The girl was dressed beautifully and looked like the daughter of a wealthy family.

The proprietress was excited and said enthusiastically, "Little sister, come and have a look. I have many interesting and beautiful masks here. Look at this fox and tiger. We also have cute big-headed dolls."

Xiao Tu fell in love with the two big dolls at first sight. Not to mention, the carvings were really full of childlike fun and matched her clothes very well.

"That's it. I want two!"

Xiao Tu spoke readily, and then called to the man behind her, "Husband, come and pay!"

Ning Cuo walked up, but when he saw the two dolls chosen by Xiao Tu, he knew that his money might not be enough.

So he hesitated.

Xiao Tu thought that this guy didn't want to wear the doll head she bought, so she immediately moved in front of the man, held his hand again, tilted her chubby little face, and acted coquettishly, "Good brother, good brother, buy it for me, buy it for me..."

Ning Cuo looked at her chubby face with his mysterious long eyes, listened to the "magic sound" penetrating his ears, took the copper coin, and then went to the jewel earring on his earlobe.

"Master, I'm here." Xiao Lezi rushed over from afar, "Oh, I finally found you."

Ning Cuo's movements came to an abrupt halt, and he said calmly, "Pay!"

Xiao Lezi nodded with a smile, "Okay."

After saying that, he quickly took out the silver and handed it to the boss, then gave the two wrapped masks to Xiao Tu.

Xiao Tu was unaware of the momentary incongruity and took the doll and put it on her head happily.

Xiao Lezi glanced at his master quietly.

He dared to swear to heaven that if he had come a second later, their family head would have taken off his earrings to pay for it.

Master, why has it come to this?

This is only the third time you have met Madam Xiao!

Are you going to pawn your belongings to buy a gift for Mrs. Xiao?

Are you still the Qiansui Lord that I, Xiao Lezi, know, whose single name can stop children from crying at night?

Ning Cuo noticed the obscure scrutiny, and her beautiful evil eyes glanced at him calmly, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Lezi looked at the unfathomable gaze that was staring at him, which actually carried some warning meaning. He shuddered all of a sudden and lowered his head hurriedly, "Nothing, I just wanted to ask Master and Madam if they need a place to rest."

Ning Cuo retracted his gaze and pulled the 'big-headed doll' beside him, "It's almost time, I'll take you to Tianxiang Tower."

Xiaotu took off the doll's head and said, "Okay, I haven't eaten enough yet, what delicious food is there?"

Ning Cuo glanced at Xiao Lezi, who hurried forward to introduce, "This Tianxianglou is the most famous food gathering place in our Dazhao Imperial City. It specializes in famous dishes from all major states and counties, and even famous dishes from outside the Great Wall...

Xiao Tu was listening when she saw a sudden commotion among the vendors around her. She couldn't help but look over out of curiosity.

"That woman is here again?"

"What, it's happening again, how long has it been?!"

"It's been a year, I've been counting the days!"

"Pitiful."

"Yes, I think her eyes are almost blinded by crying."

"Ah, I don't know which damned guy is responsible for this."

"Stop talking, stop talking, people are coming."

Following everyone's gaze, they saw a tall and thin woman walking towards them.

He was in his thirties, well-dressed, but his face was haggard, his eyes had frighteningly dark circles, and his eyes were bloodshot.

She held a portrait in her hand and asked questions to everyone she met.

But every time I opened my mouth with hope, the person I asked shook his head and then repeated my despair.
