Chapter 579: Not Like a Good Person
All I heard was the shop owner standing on the platform and shouting, "Congratulations, young man. This lantern with an eagle spreading its wings is yours. Please keep it."
The shop owner personally handed the lantern to the man.
Fubao watched the lantern being taken away with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
Wan Laoer seemed to be able to sense his daughter's unhappiness.
"Girl, we'll buy it with money. Don't worry. Daddy will ask the young master if he is willing to sell it."
Unexpectedly, Fubao shook his head and said, "Dad, forget it. Look at that man, he is wearing fancy clothes. He must not be a good person. Do you still remember Master Qi? Let's not make things complicated. Fubao doesn't necessarily want that lantern."
Wan Laoer also remembered about Qi Ye, but later there seemed to be no news about Qi Ye. No one knew where he was sent to. However, according to the residents nearby, everyone was very happy because there was one less bully.
"Then Daddy will buy you something else later, something more beautiful. There are many lanterns here, and we haven't seen them all yet. Take a look. Daddy will definitely help you get them this time."
Wan Laoer didn't want Fubao to be disappointed, so he even planned to hire someone to guess the riddles.
"Well, let's go ahead and take a look."
Wan Laoer was about to leave with Fubao on his back, but was stopped by the man.
"Little sister, I see you have been looking at this lamp. Do you like it? Call me 'big brother' and I will give you this lamp."
Wan Laoer and Fubao turned their heads to look at the man at the same time. Actually, apart from the fact that he was wearing fancy clothes, the man looked pretty good. At least he stood out among the crowd.
"You are wrong. I don't like this lantern. Dad, let's go quickly."
Fubao felt that this person was being too attentive to her for no reason and was either a traitor or a thief. She must be careful, as she had suffered many losses and had experience with this.
Wan Laoer looked at the lantern with some confusion.
"Girl, why don't you just call me big brother? Then we can get the light and go."
"Dad, if you try to gain a small advantage, you will suffer a great loss. Let's go quickly. Don't talk to strangers. Isn't that what you taught me? Why do you want to take advantage of others? How can such a good thing happen? Just open your mouth and a pie will fall from your mouth?"
The man couldn't help but twitch his lips. This little girl is quite alert. Does she look like a bad guy? Wan Xingmo didn't say that this girl is so smart and has such a clever mouth?
The man was Yuwensong, Wan Xingmo's good friend who he asked to protect Fubao and bring him back to the border.
Yuwensong originally thought that Fubao was easy to coax, and he even wanted to use Qiao to tease this cute little girl, but he didn't expect that she would not respond to him at all and even ran away.
Yuwensong reached out and touched the tip of his nose, then looked at Fubao with a smile, ready to give the gift directly to Fubao. However, when Fubao saw his smiling face, he pulled Wan Laoer's hair and said anxiously, "Daddy, let's go quickly, let's go back, Fubao doesn't want the lanterns anymore."
At this time, Wan Laoer also felt that this strange man seemed to have some bad intentions.
Wan Laoer immediately squeezed into the crowd carrying Fubao.
Yuwensong stretched out a hand to keep them and opened his mouth, but before he could open his mouth, the father and daughter had disappeared in the crowd.
Yuwensong glanced at the lantern in his hand, a look of disbelief flashed across his face. He turned his head and saw the maid who was giggling.
"What are you laughing at? Your young master is so charming and handsome, everyone loves him and flowers bloom when they see him. That little girl doesn't know what he is talking about."
After Yuwensong finished speaking, he used a fan to lift a strand of hair that was scattered on his forehead, looking quite coquettish.
"Sir, don't you think that the way you actively try to please others is very similar to..."
The maid stopped talking halfway, which made Yuwen Song angry.
"Good little peach, you have learned to speak half a sentence now, right? Tell me, what does this young master look like? And how can this young master please that little girl?"
After Yuwensong finished speaking, he tapped Xiaotao on the head with his fan.
Xiao Tao shrank her head, frowned with a smile, and said playfully: "If the servant tells you, you must not be angry, sir."
"You speak first, and I'll see if I'm angry or not."
"No, that won't do. I won't say anything more, hum." Xiao Tao put her hands behind her back, turned her face away, and ignored Yuwen Song.
"Hey, you... you little peach, you have also learned to control me, right? It seems that I have been away from the capital for a few years, and you have all become more capable."
Yuwen Song was so angry that he was jumping up and down, but he was also wondering how he had offended the little girl just now. Suddenly, he said in a soft tone, "Okay, Xiaotao, I'm not angry. You say it."
Xiao Tao snorted with a smile, "Hmph, if I tell you that and you get angry, I will never trust you again."
Yuwen Song was almost about to swear, and Xiao Tao then said, "Sir, you are obviously a handsome and elegant young man, but you have to wear such fancy clothes. Your smile is like that of a second-rate person in the capital. If Miss Fubao was not so young, I would have thought you were flirting with a decent girl."
Yuwensong looked down at the clothes he was wearing. What was wrong with the pattern on them?
Wasn't he just wearing a pink brocade robe with auspicious clouds embroidered on it with silver thread? He saw the same thing worn by the son of the Minister of Justice next door and thought it looked good. He also dressed up, so how could it be considered fancy? It must be that they had no taste and could not appreciate his elegance.
"No, Xiaotao, don't you think I look very suave in this outfit?"
As Yu Wensong spoke, he couldn't help but touch his black hair.
Xiao Tao simply couldn't bear to watch it.
"Sir, I have limited taste. If you think it's beautiful, then it's beautiful. Have you forgotten your mission? Master Mo said that if you hurt Miss Fubao's hair, he will pluck out all your hair."
"Xiao-Tao-if you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb." Yu Wensong said through gritted teeth, cursing Wan Xingmo in his heart, saying that this black-hearted guy would never be able to find a wife in his life.
Xiaotao was already smiling and chasing after Wan Laoer and Fubao and disappeared into the crowd.
Yuwensong glanced at the eagle lantern in his hand, and said "Hey" in the direction where Xiaotao disappeared, but he could no longer see the maid's back.
"Silly girl, I don't even know who is the master and the servant between us. Can you at least help me hold the lantern? You run so fast that even a rabbit can't catch up with you." Yuwen Song muttered and quickly chased after her.
Xiao Tao easily found the father and daughter who had been squeezed in the crowd for a long time, and followed them not too far away or too close. No matter how crowded the crowd was, Xiao Tao always managed to maintain this distance. It can be seen that Xiao Tao is not simple.
