Han Xiao took the King of Lanterns and walked up to the young master: "Does it look good?"
The young master hugged Han Xiao excitedly: "Mmm, it looks great, Brother Han Xiao is really amazing."
Just now, the young master was worried that Han Xiao would lose miserably, but he didn't expect that Han Xiao would actually win the King of Lanterns for him. Looking at this exquisite lantern, the young master couldn't let it go.
The steward also came down and saw that Han Xiao was still flirting with the young master. He coughed lightly and said, "Master Han, this is a prize of one hundred taels. Please choose."
After that, a servant came to Han Xiao holding a tray. The tray was covered with a layer of red cloth. Han Xiao lifted the red cloth and placed two silver ingots on it.
The crowd watching the excitement exclaimed in surprise, many of them had never seen such a large amount of silver.
Han Xiao took the silver and whispered to the steward, "Thank you for the money, mayor."
Then he put the silver into the young master's arms. The young master almost couldn't catch it and held the silver in his arms at a loss.
"No, no, these are the rules of the town. Since Mr. Han has such talent, these silvers are nothing. However, I only care about the prizes on the stage. I wonder how Mr. Han and Young Master Chen will calculate the bet."
The manager obviously had a very good impression of Han Xiao and was on Han Xiao's side when he spoke.
Chen Chengye's face looked very ugly from the beginning, and it was even more impossible for him to deny the debt after what the manager said.
Han Mingxiu walked up to Chen Chengye with a face full of shame: "Chengye, it's my incompetence, I..."
Chen Chengye held Han Mingxiu's hand and stopped him from saying anything more: "This matter has nothing to do with you. I was impulsive. I really didn't expect that Han Xiao, a peasant, would dare to lie to me."
He also checked Han Xiao's background. Although Han Mingxiu passed the imperial examination, the Chen family must find out his family background, otherwise they would not let Chen Jiabao marry him.
But no one expected Han Xiao to hide so deeply that he almost fooled everyone, and Han Xiao's handwriting would take several years of practice to achieve.
"Butler, you're joking. My Chen family isn't so poor that we can't afford to lose this little money. Come here."
Chen Chengye put on a smile and called his servant.
"Young Master." The servant put a stack of banknotes in Chen Chengye's hand.
Chen Chengye took it and waved it in the air a few times: "After hearing that Mr. Han and the Ruan family have Qin Jin, these five thousand taels of silver are my gift to you."
After saying that, he threw the banknote heavily into Han Xiao's arms.
Han Xiao took it with a smile: "Young Master Chen is indeed straightforward. Since I won, I will not refuse this prize. Young Master Chen, next time you have such a good thing, you must call me."
"You..." Chen Chengye was still too shameless. Seeing Han Xiao so arrogant, he couldn't help but want to take action.
"Chengye, calm down." Han Mingxiu held Chen Chengye back, preventing him from acting impulsively. Taking action here would do no good to the Chen family.
Chen Chengye obviously listened to Han Mingxiu's words very much. He took a deep breath and managed to maintain his expression: "Han Xiao, my Chen family will remember this matter."
After saying this, he turned around and left without caring about other people's reactions. He really couldn't stay in this place any longer. If he stayed any longer, he might really want to attack Han Xiao.
"Okay, okay." Han Xiao pointed at the banknotes in his hand and didn't care about Chen Chengye's threats.
Chen Chengye did not walk far. He paused when he heard Han Xiao's tone, and then quickly left the scene. Han Xiao must repay the humiliation he suffered today double in the future.
Han Mingxiu looked at Chen Chengye who was walking away hurriedly, feeling a little embarrassed. "Han Xiao, it was my uncle who was wrong today, but don't take Chengye's words to heart. He's just having trouble coming to terms with it. I'll try to persuade him when I get back."
Han Mingxiu said this very beautifully. In a few words, he pointed the finger at Chen Chengye. The weakening was because he lost. The onlookers also thought that Han Mingxiu was a true gentleman, seeing how much he loved his nephew.
Han Xiao didn't take it seriously and just thought Han Mingxiu was talking nonsense: "Oh, then, Second Uncle, whatever you want."
Seeing Han Xiao's unwillingness to eat or drink, Han Mingxiu had a heart attack, but for now he would go and appease Chen Chengye first, and deal with Han Xiao later. He just didn't know if Han Xiao's good brother knew about it.
After they were all gone, Han Xiao walked towards the young master with the silver note: "Ruanruan is really a boy who brings wealth. Look, you want the King of Lanterns, and someone will come to give us silver."
The young master smiled shyly. After such a long time, he still couldn't get used to Brother Han Xiao's nonsense. What kind of boy is this who brings wealth? He is not one of them.
"Well, it really looks like him. The young master is wearing red today and holding two big ingots. They look so much like him. Don't you think so, Shiwu?" Chuyi felt very happy seeing the young master like this, so he didn't take the silver from the young master's hand.
Fifteen was still touching his arm with tears in his eyes. The young master was nervous and pinched it too hard just now.
"Wow, Chuyi is right, the young master looks good no matter what, just like that... like..." Fifteen thought for a long time but couldn't think of what he looked like.
Chuyi rolled his eyes when he heard this: "It looks like the fortune-giving boy under the seat of Guanyin Bodhisattva, right?"
"Ah. Yes, yes, that's it."
Han Xiao watched the two people teasing the young master. The young master felt like he was on fire. It was so embarrassing that even the people who had not yet left joined in after hearing it.
The young master couldn't bear it any longer, threw the silver into Han Xiao's arms, and wanted to leave.
Seeing that he was about to get angry, Han Xiao felt that he was following behind the young master: "Don't be angry, everyone is praising you and praising your good looks."
The young master pouted and decided that he must not forgive Brother Han Xiao easily this time. Brother Han Xiao was really too bad. How could he laugh at him with others?
And Chuyi and Shiwu actually dared to make fun of the young master. I will definitely ask daddy to punish them when I get back.
I'll punish them by not letting them eat for a day, and see if they dare to laugh at me with Brother Han Xiao again in the future.
The young master was thinking about something and holding the lantern in his hand. He didn't notice that there were so many people around but no one touched him.
Han Xiao has been behind the young master to protect him, being careful not to let anyone bump into him.
After walking for a while, Han Xiao whispered into the young master's ear: "Ruanruan is still angry?"
"Hmph, I don't want to pay attention to you." The young master replied arrogantly, then pushed Han Xiao's big face away.
"I was wrong. I will never do this again, okay?" Han Xiao was shameless. Even though the young master pushed him away, he moved closer and even took advantage of the situation to hold the young master's soft little hand.
Han Xiao felt relieved when he felt the warmth of the little hand. He was a little worried that the young master was in poor health and would be cold after being outside for so long.
The young master didn't pull his hand out this time: "Okay, next time if you do this again I will definitely ignore you."
"Okay, just listen to me."
Han Xiao and the young master continued to be affectionate in the front, leaving Chuyi and Shiwu with a lot of dog food.
