Chapter 335: Bet Big Brother, One Hundred Taels
Yun Chengfu finished his college entrance examination, and the next morning, the five children returned to their daily lives.
Wang Cailian continued to follow Yun Dalang to the tofu shop in town. He Chunxiu's breakfast shop was entrusted to Lan Xiang and Cui Qiao, and she asked Yun Sanlang to go over and take a look when he was free.
Yun Chenglu was going back to the mountain to continue practicing martial arts with Nan Xuan, but when he left in the morning, he took the clever little Baoya with him.
Anyway, Baoya goes there every morning to practice whip techniques for an hour or two, so it's just on her way.
The two of them walked through a pale pink peach blossom forest and saw Nan Xuan from afar sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, watching Jing Zhen practice sword.
The lonely king curled up at his feet, half-closing his eyes, looking lazy.
As Baoya watched, she suddenly raised her little hand, covered her mouth and laughed.
Yun Chenglu was surprised: "Baoya, what are you laughing at?"
Baoya raised her finger and pointed at the lazy-looking Gu Wang, and then pointed at Nan Xuan who was also looking lazy with his eyes half closed next to him.
He laughed and said, "Look, Second Brother, Master and I look alike!"
Yun Chenglu hadn't noticed it at first, but after Baoya said that, he noticed it and laughed twice, saying, "It's true."
"What is it?"
In the courtyard, Nan Xuan's unhappy voice rang out, "Xiao Baoya, you've been studying for so long and it's all in vain! Who said your master looks like a dog?!"
The lonely king who was called a dog finally put away his lazy expression and looked at him with resentful eyes.
"Ah... no, it's like a wolf." Nan Xuan received its gaze and changed his words in time.
After hearing this, the king lay back down contentedly, his eyes still half closed, looking lazy.
"Hehe," Baoya and Yun Chenglu entered the yard, scratching the little tufts on their heads and laughing, "I just didn't learn it well. Anyway, whether it looks like a human or a dog, it's all the same."
Nan Xuan:......
Forget it, there's no point arguing about this with a five or six-year-old kid.
Jing Zhen, who was standing by, saw the two people coming in, so he stopped his moves, put the Dust Shattering Gun back to his waist, and sat down opposite Nan Xuan.
"You look so happy today. Has your elder brother finished his exam?" Nan Xuan asked.
Baoya nodded: "My second brother, third sister, fourth sister and I went to Lintianfu to accompany the exam!"
"Is Lin Tianfu fun?" Nan Xuan narrowed his eyes.
"It's fun!" Baoya's eyes suddenly lit up, "I even bought a lot of delicious food!"
"Oh, did you bring a gift for Master?"
When Baoya heard Nan Xuan ask this, the excitement on her face froze.
There is also a gift from Master!
Damn it, she had forgotten everything!
Her small black eyes turned, and seeing Nan Xuan's expectant look, she felt a little reluctant to just say that she didn't buy it.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Yes, I brought it. It's an exquisitely crafted wooden box. Master, you have so many styles of hairpins. Now I have a box to store them in!"
As she spoke, she rummaged in her small cloth bag for a long time, and finally took out a rectangular mahogany box and put it into Nan Xuan's hand.
"oh?"
Nan Xuan took the box and looked at it inside and out. It was indeed made with exquisite workmanship, and there were even green bamboo patterns carved on the outside.
But, giving a wooden box as a gift is a bit weird.
"Master, I brought you a gift too!" Yun Chenglu said hurriedly, "It's a fox fur wristband. I picked the best one!"
Yun Chenglu hurriedly took out the wristband from his small bag, handed it to Nan Xuan with both hands, and then looked at him expectantly.
Nan Xuan touched the smooth and soft fox fur wristband and squinted his eyes. It was indeed good fur, but compared with the pile in his box, it was still quite ordinary.
But what kind of exquisite products can come from a small place like Cangchenzhou? This kid really put a lot of effort into it.
He nodded and said, "Yes, Chenglu boy is thoughtful."
At this time, he saw Baoya rummaging in her small cloth bag again, and took out a shiny little jade hairpin, and handed it to Jingzhen who had been silent beside her.
"Brother Xiaojing, this is for you."
Nan Xuan:......
He looked down at the wooden box in his hand, then at the small jade hairpin in Jingzhen's hand, and seemed to understand what was wrong.
It is said that girls are caring and sweet, but his little apprentice is probably a black-hearted one!
"Forget it, don't be angry, don't be angry."
He took a deep breath, put the pair of wristbands Yun Chenglu gave him into the wooden box, and muttered:
"What bad intentions could a little girl have? She simply forgot your gift and didn't want to upset you."
Baoya stood on tiptoe and helped Jingzhen insert the small jade hairpin into her bun, then smiled with her crescent eyes curved.
"It looks really good. I knew this would suit Brother Xiaojing the best."
Jing Zhen reached out and pinched her little face: "I have a lot of hairpins, but I don't need them..."
This jade hairpin is finely crafted and intricately carved, so it must have cost a lot of money. He was afraid that Baoya would spend too much money.
"But you don't have the hairpin I gave you." The little girl interrupted him, "Don't worry, Brother Jing, I bought this with my own pocket money. I saved it myself. I've been saving it since Chinese New Year!"
Jing Zhen was helpless, pursed his lips and said: "If you have spent all your pocket money...well, if you want to eat something delicious, tell me."
"Okay!" Baoya nodded.
She heard Nan Xuan mumbling beside her and asked, "Master, what internal energy technique are you reciting? Are you not teaching it to me again?"
Nan Xuan was mumbling to himself:???
"Nothing." He brushed away a strand of hair hanging on his cheek and gave Baoya a kind smile.
When Baoya saw his smiling face, she felt relieved.
She thought to herself, it’s a good thing she was smart enough to take out the wooden box containing the hairpin and give it to her master, otherwise, her master would definitely be angry.
"Oh, right," Baoya suddenly remembered something and asked, "Master, the results of the eldest brother's exam will be announced in three days. Can you let the second brother come down the mountain?"
Nan Xuan nodded: "Okay."
"Ah, there's more! I see a lot of people in town are betting on who will pass the exam, my eldest brother or Chen Chengcai. Master, do you want to take part too?"
Nan Xuan frowned: "Xiao Baoya, gambling is not a good thing."
Baoya blinked her eyes: "But if the bettor wins, the investment will be multiplied tenfold."
Nan Xuan's eyes lit up: "Bet! I'll bet on your elder brother, one hundred taels!"
Jing Zhen: ...
Yun Chenglu: ...
"Cough," Nan Xuan coughed when he saw Jing Zhen and Yun Chenglu staring at him.
"Well, Baoya, I'm your master, an adult, so it's okay to gamble a little. Small gambling can be fun, but big gambling can hurt your body. I'm just betting to cheer myself up. But you're still a child, so you're not allowed to gamble."
"Oh." Baoya nodded obediently, feeling a little sorry.
She also wanted Brother Xiao Jing to bet on Big Brother as well, so she could definitely make a fortune!
"What are you still standing there for? Go practice!" Nan Xuan's expression suddenly changed, and he clapped his hands. "Hurry up, hurry up, everyone, get moving! You've been playing for so many days, your mind must be scattered!"
"Alas……"
Baoya made a face at him and ran away with Jingzhen.
"Master is so scary when he gets serious!"
