Zhang You and the others now have some faith in Jinfu's luck.
Dongmei still couldn't believe it, so she pulled him to the next stall to try hooping. As a result, Jinfu got the rings right when Dongmei asked him to.
"Oh my God, why are some people so lucky! They can get whatever they want, but I can't even touch it!" Zhang You didn't understand and was unwilling to accept it.
"It's really enviable. This luck is too good." Chunhua also felt a little jealous. They had never seen such a lucky person.
"No, that's impossible. Maybe this is just the result of practice making perfect. Let's go to the gambling house!" Dongmei was already excited and pulled Jinfu to try it again.
"No, I still have to protect the prince." Jinfu refused mercilessly.
Dongmei looked at him in shock, wanting to say something but stopping herself. Then she turned and ran to Qiao Si to act coquettishly. Li Guanghan and the others had been watching them from the side and now became interested. "Then let's go together?"
He has spoken, and Jinfu can only obey.
Everyone entered a gambling house, which was a small one located on the corner of the street, but there were quite a few people inside.
Dongmei took Jinfu and tried various gambling methods with him, such as guessing the size and rolling the dice, but she always ended up losing.
Now, Dongmei finally believed in his luck.
"Win again?"
“This is amazing!”
"Hey? Brother, can you help me guess the size of this game?"
The gamblers surrounding them also noticed Jinfu's peculiarity and pulled him to help them gamble.
Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, Dongmei no longer cared about being shocked and pulled him out of the gambling house. Zhang You and the others followed Qiao Si and the others out.
After this incident, Jinfu's luck became unquestionable.
Li Guanghan took Qiao Si and Wei Nian to a teahouse on the street to drink tea. Since Zhang You and the others were not needed, they strolled around the streets below.
Jinfu has now become a hot commodity here, and all the stalls on the street have been sold by them.
There were many people on the street. When Zhang You followed Chunhua, he saw Wei Qian at the door of the dim sum shop. He seemed to be queuing to buy dim sum.
The two of them glanced at each other accidentally and their eyes met.
Across the crowd, Zhang You didn't go up to say hello, but just nodded at him.
Wei Qian moved his feet, but found that she had turned around and left with her companions to the next place. He slowly retracted the steps he had taken.
He touched the string of jade beads on his wrist, and the emptiness in his heart seemed to be filled.
Ever since she gave him this bracelet, he found that his habits were becoming more and more like hers.
When faced with those aspects of officialdom that he disliked, he would twist his bracelet to calm himself down. Over time, he got used to this way of relieving his stress.
He didn't go forward. They were traveling together, and it wasn't appropriate for him to go.
Zhang You and her friends had almost finished their shopping and walked back to the teahouse.
Tonight is going to be a magical day.
Zhang You thought so.
She didn't expect to run into so many people on this street tonight.
Qiao San and Lu Zhanting could be seen from a distance. They were walking forward arm in arm.
They have always had a good relationship. They both hold idle positions in the court and are always inseparable.
Since they were too far away, Zhang You didn't say hello and just watched them walk away.
In the teahouse, Li Guanghan and Wei Nian were chatting happily. Qiao Si didn't want to stay there doing nothing, so when he saw Zhang You and the others coming back, he stood up and said goodbye to them.
Li Guanghan hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Jin Fu and Jin Lu stayed behind to guard him, while Zhang You and the others followed Qiao Si, carrying large and small bags back. This evening, they had a great harvest.
Zhang You won a lot of prizes, big and small, and finally experienced what it felt like to be lucky.
His depressed mood due to being dragged out of the house also improved, and he followed Qiao Si and chatted and laughed with them.
When he came to a stall selling hairpins, Qiao Si suddenly stopped.
Zhang You looked at her curiously, "Princess? What's wrong?"
Qiao Si looked at the man and woman at the stall with complicated eyes.
Zhang You followed her gaze.
They were a couple.
The man was tall and handsome in a blue shirt, and the woman was pretty and gentle in a light blue dress.
The man picked up the hairpins on the stall, put them on her head one by one, and asked for her opinion. The woman just smiled faintly and seemed to have no interest in those things.
Zhang You looked at them carefully several times to make sure that he had never seen them before.
Qiao Si's expression was moved. She walked forward and called out a name: "Xiao Rao?"
The man and woman turned their heads.
The man was obviously a little shocked and flustered. He stepped forward to stand in front of the woman and spoke for her: "Princess Jin An. She is not Jiang Xiaorao, she is my concubine."
Zhang You didn't look at him, but just looked at the woman behind him.
Her intuition told her that the person in front of her was Jiang Xiaorao.
No one knows it better than her.
Jiang Xiaorao, the daughter of the former commander of the Jinwu Guard, was born to a famous loyal minister and was a sworn brother to her father. They had grown up as sisters, and Jiang Xiaorao was her best friend in the capital.
But later, when Prince Qiao's mansion moved to Dingzhou, the Jiang family was framed with false charges by the emperor and was about to be executed.
At that time, she was far away in Dingzhou. After hearing the news, she sent people to mediate, but no one in the court dared to speak up for her. Qiao Si could only try his best to let her fake her death and escape.
Qiao Si sent people to settle her down. Later, when he heard that she was missing, Qiao Si sent more people to look for her. Unexpectedly, he saw her here.
"She is not Xiao Rao... Lord Zhao, shouldn't you explain it? She looks exactly like Xiao Rao." Qiao Si said.
Zhao Chao used to dislike Jiang Xiaorao the most and despised her rude behavior. His current behavior really made Qiao Si suspicious.
Zhao Chao could only pull her aside and explain with a stiff upper lip: "Princess, she is not Xiao Rao, she is A Ru, the mute girl I met in Qingzhou."
He grew up with Jiang Xiaorao, Qiao Si and the others. It was really embarrassing for him to be caught by Qiao Si looking for a substitute.
"As the princess knows, Xiao Rao's family was wiped out three years ago. When I was assigned to Qingzhou, I happened to see her being bullied, so I helped her. I saw that she was alone and helpless, so I took her in."
Zhao Chao explained, but never mentioned the suspicious point that she and Jiang Xiaorao looked similar.
Qiao Si didn't let his words distract him. "What I'm asking is, why does she look exactly like Jiang Xiaorao? Zhao Chao, don't you hate her the most? What's going on? Are you looking for her shadow?"
Qiao Si’s words hit the nail on the head.
Zhao Chao's face turned pale. He had no way to refute this matter. He did take her into the mansion because she looked similar to Jiang Xiaorao.
"Please don't say these things in front of her, Princess. She doesn't know these things and she is innocent. If you have any complaints, you can come to me." Zhao Chao no longer defended himself, but only hoped that Qiao Si would not vent his anger on her.
