"Come and see! Come and see! The annual silver arbitrage has begun!"
"The winner will be the owner of Fulin Restaurant and will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver, three boxes of Xiyange powder, and two new snacks from Wenxiangzhai!"
The two were chatting happily when they suddenly heard shouting from downstairs. Out of curiosity, Yuan Chen raised his hand to open the window and looked down.
Xie Wanzhou put the hair tie she had just bought into her sleeves. Just as she was about to go look elsewhere, she was pushed by the crowd and came to the door of Fulin Restaurant.
A man who looked like a waiter stood on the stage with a cunning smile. There was a wooden table in front of him and a pair of upside-down porcelain bowls on the table.
"Dear spectators, there is a one hundred tael silver note at the bottom of this bowl. As long as you take the silver note away without touching the bowl with your hands, you will win!"
The waiter's lips almost reached behind his ears, "The winner will not only get a hundred taels of silver notes, but also the rewards mentioned just now!"
"Hey, it's the same every year, nothing new."
"That's right, no one has been able to take it away for three years in a row. Isn't this a magical person?"
"You can't touch the bowl without using your hands. What kind of crappy game is this?"
The people have obviously suffered too much and are no longer willing to be taken advantage of.
Xie Wanzhou blinked and stared at the bowl on the table thoughtfully.
The waiter saw her and hurriedly extended an olive branch, "Girl, do you want to give it a try?"
Xie Wanzhou stood in the crowd, and her good looks frequently attracted the attention of the people around her, and also attracted the attention of the boy by the window.
"Is what you just said true?" Xie Wanzhou stepped forward, holding up her skirt, and said leisurely, "When the time comes, you won't renege on your debt, right?"
The waiter smiled even more happily, "Hey girl, our Fulin Restaurant is an old restaurant, so we won't be greedy for these things!"
Looking at Xie Wanzhou's figure, the people sighed repeatedly.
What a beautiful little girl, but it's a pity that she has a bad mind.
It's obvious that you are being fooled, but you have to give it a try if you don't believe in evil.
"That's good." Xie Wanzhou nodded, smiling softly, "Then let me give it a try."
"Sure!" The waiter banged the gong behind him and shouted loudly, "Challenge for the first place!"
Xie Wanzhou took two steps forward, looked at the porcelain bowl, and suddenly asked, "I understand, your bowl and the banknotes inside are stuck together, right?"
"How is that possible?" The waiter grinned and lifted the porcelain bowl, "Look, girl..."
As soon as the waiter raised his hand, Xie Wanzhou, with quick eyes and quick hands, quickly took away the banknotes from the bottom of the bowl. At the end, he said, "There is no adhesion. Fulin Restaurant is really reputable."
The waiter's words stopped abruptly, and the hand holding the porcelain bowl froze in mid-air, with an uncontrollable impulse at the corner of his mouth, "Girl... girl?"
Xie Wanzhou raised his eyebrows with a sly expression, "Why, you won't default on your debt, right?"
The people saw it clearly and started to cheer.
Yuan Chen seemed to find it interesting as well, showing a look of laughter for the first time.
The waiter looked embarrassed and glanced at the shopkeeper not far away.
The shopkeeper had a livid face, but because so many people were watching, he had no choice but to nod.
The waiter breathed a sigh of relief and put a smile on his face again, but the smile could no longer reach his eyes. "Girl, I lost with all my heart. Please take the banknote and follow me to the store later." Sort out the rewards.”
Xie Wanzhou handed the banknote to Zhutao, curled his eyes and chuckled, "That's good."
The waiter looked respectful, "I don't know the girl's name yet..."
Xie Wanzhou raised his little face, his smile became brighter and brighter, and he said loudly, "Yongcheng Houfu, Xie Wanzhou."
Hearing the words Yongcheng Marquis, Shen Ji, who had been immersed in drinking, seemed to become more interested. He lowered his eyes and looked down, and happened to catch a glimpse of Xie Wanzhou's little face.
Shen Ji rubbed his fingertips, his eyes dim.
Yongcheng Houfu...
It is really fate that I can hear these words wherever I go.
After half a stick of incense, Xie Wanzhou was led into the restaurant by the waiter, who took stock of the gifts.
It happened that Yuan Chen and Shen Ji were going downstairs and happened to see this scene.
"The stuff is right." Xie Wanzhou smiled, looking at the obviously exhausted restaurant manager, and chuckled, "Thank you, manager, you are such a good person."
When the shopkeeper learned Xie Wanzhou's identity, he had no choice but to smile and said, "Miss, please don't make fun of me!"
Xie Wanzhou chuckled and said softly, "I will accept this thing. The shopkeeper will have to think of something fun next year."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Wanzhou turned around and told Zhutao and the rest of his entourage, then left with the lantern.
As she walked, a navy blue hair tie came out of her sleeve and slowly fell to the ground.
Zhutao led the people to move the goods, and the shopkeeper was busy comforting himself. For a moment, no one noticed the hair tie.
The next moment, the hair tie was picked up by a hand with distinct joints.
The lantern temple fair was coming to an end. Xie Wanzhou didn't find anything interesting anymore, but he saw a familiar figure.
Xie Wanzhou's eyes lit up and he called out, "Master Lian?"
Lian Yan was looking around when he suddenly heard his name. He paused and turned around to look.
Seeing it was Xie Wanzhou, Lian Yan's heart trembled, the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably, and he ran quickly with his back to the light, like a young boy, but he couldn't stop when he came to Xie Wanzhou.
Lian Yan scratched the back of his head and smiled brightly, "Miss Xie...what a coincidence!"
"I didn't expect to meet Mr. Lian here." Xie Wanzhou pursed his lips and chuckled, lowering his head gently. "Last time, I received a generous gift from Mr. Lian, and I had been thinking about giving something back. Today I saw something that was just right for me. Young Master.”
Lian Yan was so happy that he almost couldn't hold his tongue, "Did you buy me something?"
"Yes." Xie Wanzhou's eyes were bright, and he reached into his sleeves to explore, his face instantly turning pale.
"What...what's wrong?" Lian Yan saw that she looked wrong and asked hurriedly.
Xie Wanzhou's delicate brows frowned slightly, and she murmured, "The hair tie...the hair tie I prepared is missing..."
When Lian Yan heard this, he quickly came out to comfort him, "It's okay, don't worry, I don't need you to return the favor, so don't frown."
"But..." Xie Wanzhou bit her lower lip, feeling aggrieved, "That's what I picked for a long time..."
Lian Yan's heart trembled when he saw that her eyes were a little red, and he whispered, "Don't be sad, I... I have something I like in my heart, and I just want to ask you for it!"
"Really?" Xie Wanzhou blinked and whispered, "What do you want, Master?"
"I want..." Lian Yan raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose, his eyes wandering, and the tips of his ears seemed to be stained with blood and were very red, "the lantern in your hand."
Xie Wanzhou's eyes widened and he lowered his head to look at the hibiscus lantern he was holding. He hesitated and said with some uncertainty, "Young master, you want this? But... this is not worth much money."
"Why do we use money to measure things?" Lian Yan grinned, raised his hand to take the lantern, his eyes were clear and bright, "I just like hibiscus, this lantern has won my heart."
What you like...is more than just hibiscus?
