Chapter 203: People are cheap
Inside the gambling house
Xiao Changge stayed on the second floor for a while and then got up and left, and when she went downstairs, Wei immediately noticed her, as Tang Mo said, Wei was too vigilant.
Such sharp eyes can easily arouse the suspicion of others, and I only hope that Tang Moshu can solve the matter of finding someone as soon as possible.
As for the gambling table, she bought it later, and the five hundred taels of silver were her real estate, and she must not spend it indiscriminately for emergency use in the future.
It wasn't until now that Xiao Changge realized that it was really not easy to start, it was difficult everywhere, and the most difficult thing was that there was no money.
This businessman is really difficult, there is still a long way to go, she can't fall here.
This gambling house is her bet, whether she loses or wins, it depends on the future.
Xiao Changge glared back at Wei, opened the folding fan and swaggered out like a young man.
Wei withdrew his gaze, opened the lid, and there was another commotion.
On the street, even if Xiao Changge came out, he thought about Red Sleeves and Zhu Er, these two girls were really hard to follow her, especially Red Sleeves.
"The boss gave me a roast chicken."
Xiao Changge looked at the fragrant roast chicken, and the boss happily responded with a good hello, so he wrapped the roast chicken for Xiao Changge.
Just when Xiao Changge gave the boss money and wanted to leave with the roast chicken, this turn made her stop.
He looked at the man in front of him, the white clothes were fluttering like a fairy in a painting, his appearance was still a little similar to Chu Yu, but he was a little less enchanting than Chu Yu, if there was anything to describe him, it was probably a lotus.
Out of the mud without staining.
The man was in a wheelchair, and there was an old man pushing behind him, and he was Chu Xu, the sixth prince of Chu State, who was born with a congenital disability and could only sit in a wheelchair, and was the most unlikely person to be the emperor among many brothers, and his qualifications were mediocre, not outstanding among many brothers, and even the seven-year-old Chu Tian was much smarter than him.
What is he doing here?
Xiao Changge followed Chu Xu's line of sight and looked in the direction of the restaurant, only to see the old man slowly pushing Chu Xu into the restaurant, and when he arrived at the door, the shopkeeper greeted Chu Xu with a smile, bent down and bowed and invited him in.
It seems that he is very familiar with the people in this restaurant, otherwise the shopkeeper would not have such an expression when he saw him, and he would have greeted him in person.
This made Xiao Changge feel surprised, she glanced up at the restaurant, and the three big characters on it were very eye-catching.
Zuixuan Building
The things in this restaurant are both expensive and small, but they are very delicious, and they can even be compared with the food in the palace, so most of the dignitaries and nobles like to come to this restaurant, and it is famous in this capital.
It's just that she can't figure out what Chu Xu is doing here?
Xiao Changge shook his head and turned to leave.
Even if she was curious, she couldn't go to such a high-class place, and she couldn't afford to eat the things inside, so she could only give up, maybe Chu Xu just wanted to taste the food inside, but she was too careful.
On the second floor of Zuixuan Building, Chu Xu opened the bead curtain and looked at Xiao Changge in the crowd.
"Master."
The old man standing behind Chu Xu shouted, his expression was serious, and his tone was terrifying.
"This kind of thing should be paid attention to in the future, and you must not be careless."
Chu Xu slowly spoke, and the old man behind him lowered his head to reflect, it was he who was careless to be seen, and the shopkeeper greeted them so warmly, ordinary people didn't know who they were, but the other party was Miss Xiao, who had always seen big people in the world, how could he not know them?
"Yes."
The old man answered, and followed Chu Xu's line of sight to look at the bustling street.
"This place is no longer safe, let's find a safe place again, fortunately, this time it's the waste lady of the Xiao family, if it is someone else'......"
The soft voice flowed like flowing water, but the words that could be spoken were intimidating.
But what is this Xiao family's daughter doing here disguised as a man? It was hard for them to recognize the burned face on that face.
Chu Xu touched the ring on his finger, pondering what he was thinking
He had already heard that this concubine of the Xiao family was different from the past, and even the four princes helped her, and invited the Emperor Chu to listen to the trial in person for her, and the four princes have also been sharp recently, what is the relationship between the two?
"Where's Yuan Xing?"
Chu Xu glanced at the people around him and asked, with a sharp light in his eyes, which was like two people in his usual life.
"Lord Yuan is still on the way, according to the old slave's estimation, it is almost there."
The old man was stunned and replied honestly, Chu Xu smiled, but there was a hint of anger in his eyes.
There is a strong aura, as if a black and white messenger from hell.
"This prince has always hated people who are late, Yuan Xing, does he really think that this prince will not dare to touch him?"
His hands were clenched, and his eyes were shining with a cold light, which was extremely cold.
He is weak now, and he may not be able to do so later.
"The master is angry, according to the old slave, we can't be rash now, we still need Lord Yuan's help."
The old man saw that Chu Xu had murderous intent, and hurriedly persuaded.
They have only started the first step, and there are not many officials who support them, among which the more important one is Yuan Xing, if they lose Yuan Xing's support, I am afraid that those behind them will shake their determination.
With their current capabilities, they simply can't do that.
"There are so many people in this court, is there only one Yuan Xing in this prince? Since he Yuan Xing doesn't come, then the prince doesn't have to wait any longer, let's go. ”
Chu Xu said without hesitation, and wanted to leave with his hand turned in his wheelchair.
Yuan Xing was deliberately late today, wasn't he deliberately giving him a boost?
The chess pieces are gone, you can find them again.
He doesn't need disloyal pawns, otherwise abandoning him in a pinch of time would be even more doomed.
He didn't want to repeat the tragedy of Prince Chu Rui and be betrayed by the people around him.
Prince Chu Rui is the elder brother of his father, the prince of Chu back then, but unfortunately he was betrayed by his cronies, betrayed him, and was caught and killed by his father, otherwise this Chu State today should be Chu Rui's.
Since he has learned from the past, then he cannot make such a low-level mistake again.
Seeing that Chu Xu didn't mean to wait, the old man behind him didn't say much, pushing the wheelchair and wanting to take Chu Xu away.
But just a few steps later, he bumped into a man head-on.
"Oh, the sixth prince, the minister is late."
Yuan Xing said slowly, but there was no trace of apology on his face, it was obvious that as he guessed, Yuan Xing did it on purpose.
"There's no store left in this village, and since it's late, we don't have anything to talk about."
Chu Xu smiled, he was even more desperate than the prince and Chu Yu, and he didn't even give each other the slightest chance.
Yuan Xing laughed, but there was no respect.
"The sixth prince, the minister is just late, don't say it so seriously, isn't the minister making amends to the six princes? You don't know that the street is jammed, this sedan chair can't come over, and the minister is also in a hurry, but the sky is unsatisfactory. ”
Yuan Xing coaxed, seeing the cold look on his face, the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually stiffened a little.
"If there is a person who cares, it will arrive on time if it is blocked on the street, since Lord Yuan has no intention to talk to this prince, then why should this prince waste time and wait? Yuan Xing, don't really take yourself seriously, like you, this prince wants as much as he wants. ”
The cold light pierced Yuan Xing's body, exuding a very heavy anger, and the old man behind him pushed him and left, really not even leaving Yuan Xing a chance.
Yuan Xing was shocked, seeing that Chu Xu didn't want to be joking like this, seeing that Chu Xu was really leaving, Yuan Xing was really panicked.
"Sixth prince, wait a minute, the minister knows that he is wrong."
Yuan Xing hurriedly caught up with Chu Xu, clasping his fists with both hands to admit his mistake.
However, Chu Xu didn't even look at him, his hand turned the ring on his hand and smiled lightly.
"This prince said that it is not outdated."
Leaving these words, Chu Xuzhen didn't even stay, leaving Yuan Xing alone to stand on the second floor and ponder.
He miscalculated!
thought that Chu Xu should keep him, but what he said just now didn't look like a joke.
Today he wanted to frustrate Chu Xu's spirit, obviously he had no power and no power to dare to do this to him, if he didn't have his handle in his hand, he wouldn't be on his side.
handle, if Emperor Chu knows about it, he will definitely be furious, and if he doesn't get it right, it will be all over the place.
Yuan Xing clenched his fists, it seemed that he would have to go to the Six Princes' Mansion tomorrow and apologize to him.
Chu Xu's heart is really as ruthless as Emperor Chu.
He knew that what Fang Cai Chu Xu said was not a joke, but true.
He thought that Chu Xu could only rely on him, but listening to his tone, he was not the only one by his side.
Thinking of this, Yuan Xing was a little afraid in his heart, afraid that his position in front of Chu Xu would be replaced by others, and he would be ignored like before, Yuan Xing clenched his hands, as if he had made up his mind.
Outside the Zuixuan Building
The old man wanted to persuade Chu Xu, but he couldn't bear to disturb Chu Xu when he closed his eyes and rested.
He has been by Chu Xu's side for more than ten years, how can he have any cronies around him, and how can he have any informants?
Now Yuan Xing and a few petty officials under him, if there is really no Yuan Xing, their plan will be postponed again.
To this day, he still can't guess what Chu Xu is thinking.
"Don't worry, this prince has his own sense of proportion, this prince estimates that he will come to the house tomorrow to apologize, people, it is cheap, disdain when treating each other with courtesy, you have to say everything ruthlessly, you will wake up."
Chu Xu's unhurried voice sounded, and these words entered the old man's ears.
The master of his family has always been calm and would not say such vulgar words, but today he said such words, which shows that he is angry, but he doesn't show it on his face.
"Yes, master, you're right."
The old man paused, and also felt that what Chu Xu said made sense.
If it's indulgence, there will only be a next time, a next time.
"Go home."
"Yes."
……
Inside the Shaw Mansion
Xiao Changge went out for most of the day, which made Red Sleeves worried, and he was already waiting outside the mansion.
"Yo, look, isn't this the red lady sister with red sleeves next to our eldest lady? Why are you standing at the door? Isn't it the eldest lady who has been messing around with some third-rate man and hasn't come back yet? ”
Li'er held the tray in her hand, followed the red sleeves' gaze and looked out of the house and mocked.
Red Sleeves turned his head to look at Li'er, so angry that his face turned a little red.
"You, you bloody mouth!"
Red Sleeves pointed at Li'er and said angrily, seeing that Red Sleeves was so angry, the smile on Li'er's face became even brighter.
"Bloody mouth? Everyone knows what kind of virtue the eldest lady is. ”
Li'er said proudly, without the slightest fear.
