But she was like a lion and her asking price was a bit too high.
Upon hearing this, the waiter, not afraid of offending anyone, ran up to the young man like a lackey and said flatteringly, "Sir, are you looking for something heavy to move? I can help you. Just raise your hand and give me a few copper coins, and I'll be happy!"
Xiao Cunyu glared at the waiter.
I never expected that the waiter would be so hard on lowering the price!
Zhou Jingmao's eyes still fell on Xiao Cunyu, and he became interested: "Why do you ask for such a high price?"
"Use him or not, my guard is tall and brave, even a hundred taels is worth it." Xiao Cunyu poured himself a cup of tea.
Zhou Jingmao raised his eyebrows and said, "Little pretty boy, no one has ever dared to talk to me like that. Are you tired of living? Aren't you afraid that I will have you kicked out?"
Tieyi clenched his fists and looked like he was about to take action.
Xiao Cunyu gestured for him to calm down, then slowly said, "I know from the first sight that you come from a distinguished background, brother. Of course, you're fearless. But this guard is mine. If you hadn't immediately recognized his formidable abilities, you wouldn't have asked to lend him to you. If you pay, we'll fight and suffer as we please. It's just a deal, not worth getting angry about."
"Of course. If you think it's too expensive, I can give you a few words." Xiao Cunyu said mysteriously.
Zhou Jingmao felt that this brother was quite special.
There were so many people in the lobby on this floor that he saw his... sword at a glance.
Moving things was just a casual remark, just an excuse to talk.
"What?" Zhou Jingmao stared at her.
When did such a handsome young man appear in the capital? He didn't even know about it!
Judging from his appearance, he seems to be planning a long journey? Maybe he can stop by?
"Leave here before midnight, or you'll get beaten." Xiao Cunyu said, then laughed, "Since we're fleeing, we should hide well, otherwise we'll be easily caught."
It's not like her, when she went out in the middle of the night, no one in the house noticed.
"Do you know me?" Zhou Jingmao trudged down the stairs and walked in front of Xiao Cunyu. He snapped open his folding fan and fanned it slowly a few times. "Who said I was a refugee? Do I, the dignified young master of the Zhou family, need to flee?"
Zhou family?
Xiao Cunyu didn't know him.
In the capital, there are countless noble people, young men and young ladies.
"Give me the silver first, otherwise I won't say anything else." Xiao Cunyu was so cold and ruthless when he asked for the silver.
"You are a strange person. You are so shameless when we meet for the first time. You have some style of me. But you just came to the capital recently?" Zhou Jingmao took out a purse from his arms and threw it in front of Xiao Cunyu with a proud look on his face.
There were more than ten taels of silver in that purse.
Xiao Cunyu's eyes lit up: "How much do you want to pay?"
"Fortune? Are you telling my fortune?" Zhou Jingmao couldn't help but burst into laughter. "How interesting! When I saw you holding a sword, I thought you were pretending to be a knight-errant, but I didn't expect you to be a charlatan! Not at all!"
Looking like this, he doesn't look like a charlatan at all!
He looks more like a gigolo kept by some rich family!
Xiao Cunyu rolled his eyes at him, then took out his own ten taels of silver and said slowly, "Stretch out your hand, let me see it."
Zhou Jingmao was quite cooperative and spread out his palms.
Xiao Cunyu first looked at the back of his palm, then at the palm, somewhat surprised. "Brother, you have a very good family background. Look at the horizontal lines on the back of your hand, which are swirling around your five fingers. You have the destiny of becoming a marquis. The three upward lines show a bit of nobility in the imperial court, but they are a little shallow... Your nails are bright and smooth, and your family is rich and prosperous. Your fingers are like chicken eggs, and you will have many unexpected fortunes in your life..."
