Dai Ze looked complacent: "No one else thought of it, but I did. Miss Kou, you are a delicate and frail girl. It can be said that it was a coincidence that you appeared there at that time. How could you save that little girl at the critical moment?" I can’t believe you reacted so quickly without being prepared.”
Xin You: "..." The way Dai Ze spoke, if he hadn't been the heir apparent of Gu Chang Bo, he would have been beaten to death, right?
But his twisted thinking saved Xinyou's effort. Originally, she had to take the initiative to guide him in that direction, but now she doesn't need to.
"Young Master Dai doesn't believe it, and there's nothing I can do about it." Xin You said this, but her eyes were wandering around, never meeting Dai Ze's gaze.
"Miss Kou, you feel guilty."
Seeing the girl opposite holding the tea cup tightly and saying nothing, Dai Ze showed a smile that he thought was considerate: "I am a person who will feel uncomfortable if I don't figure things out. But don't worry, Miss Kou, you told me the truth, I'm sure I’ll keep it a secret for you.”
"Keep it secret?" Xinyou looked confused.
Seeing that there was something going on, Dai Ze hurriedly said, "Of course. Miss Kou saved that little girl, which can be considered a great help to me."
Just for frightening that little girl, the emperor had someone beat him twenty times. If that little girl was killed by a wild boar, wouldn't it cost him half his life?
Dai Ze is usually arrogant and wanton. To put it bluntly, he can only tolerate others' displeasure. But when he really wants to deal with people like Prince Qing and Princess Zhaoyang, he still behaves honestly.
Xin You put down the tea cup and shook his head: "I told you, even Mr. Dai didn't believe me."
"Say it. If you don't tell me, how do you know I don't believe it?" Dai Ze urged, becoming more and more curious.
If it had been anyone else, he would have scolded him to stop talking nonsense.
Xin You pursed her lips and whispered, "I can read faces."
"Look, what are you looking at?" Dai Ze raised his voice in shock.
Xin You frowned: "Master Dai also said that it should be kept secret. If you are so loud, won't everyone listen?"
Dai Ze was still in shock: "What did you just say you would watch?"
"Reading faces."
"Is it like fortune-telling at a stall on the overpass?" Dai Ze looked weird.
It's not that he is ignorant, he really can't connect the beautiful young lady in front of him with the fortune teller setting up a stall on the overpass.
His father said that those were all lies.
Xin You twitched the corner of her mouth slightly and said calmly: "Absolutely."
"You mean you calculated that the little girl will encounter an out-of-control wild boar?"
From Dai Ze's expression, Xin You knew that he didn't believe it, but it didn't stop her from deceiving him: "It's about seeing, not calculating."
"This is different."
"It's different. 'Calculating' is more important than level, and 'seeing' is more important than talent."
Dai Ze just thought it was ridiculous: "Miss Kou, if you don't want to say it, don't use such ridiculous words to prevaricate me."
Xin You looked helpless: "I'll tell you, Mr. Dai won't believe it even if I tell you."
"Then look, what's my luck today?"
Xin You took a deep look at Dai Ze, with a slight smile on his lips: "Master Dai, you'd better be careful of the birds in the sky."
Dai Ze heard this and said, "Can a flying bird peck my eyes?"
Xin You picked up the teacup and said calmly: "Master Dai doesn't believe it, so I can't do anything about it. I just hope that Master Dai can keep his promise and don't tell others about it."
"Okay, okay, I'll keep it a secret for you." Dai Ze saw Xin You showing off her guests. Although he was dissatisfied and didn't ask the real answer, he still stood up.
Although he is a lawless dandy, now is the time when he has a crush on Miss Kou, and he does not want to make the relationship too tense.
Xin You sent Dai Ze outside the bookstore and watched him go away with an expressionless face before turning around and entering the bookstore.
"Why hasn't the shopkeeper put the things away yet?"
There were no customers in the bookstore at this time, so Shopkeeper Hu was finally able to ask: "My boss, is it really okay to accept the gold ingot from Mr. Dai?"
"Shopkeeper, just keep it away. Mr. Dai grew up in a golden nest, so this is nothing to him. He is a person with a good face. He said in public today that his family will not cause trouble for this, so there is no problem. ”
Shopkeeper Hu was really relieved.
"I'm going back to the east courtyard." Xin You stopped at the door, turned around and said, "If Mr. Dai comes again today, ask Shitou to call me in the east courtyard."
After saying this, Xinyou walked out.
"Master Dai will not come again today." Liu Zhou was a little worried as he thought about Dai Ze's arrogance in front of them and his different appearance in front of his employer.
He was still looking forward to seeing his boss and Mr. He being together. He wouldn't be disturbed by that playboy, right?
Shopkeeper Hu ignored the small talk and locked the ingot pearls into the small vault before relaxing.
There was nothing he could do about it. When he was holding the box, he looked at everyone like a thief.
Returning to the library and looking through the ledger, shopkeeper Hu made a decision: We must hire more guards, the boss is really good at opening up money!
It was not too cold in early winter, so Dai Ze walked towards the Guchangbo Mansion with his hands in his hands. The more he thought about it, the more funny Xin You's words became.
Be careful about the birds in the sky?
Could it be that the girl was being mysterious just to attract his attention?
In fact, it doesn't have to be like this. Miss Kou is much more interesting than the crying women he usually encounters. He has no objection to having such a wife.
Dai Ze walked in front, followed by two boys. After wandering around for a while, Dai Ze had forgotten all about Xin You's words by the time he returned to Guchang Bo's Mansion.
"Your Majesty."
The servants he met along the way greeted each other, but Dai Ze didn't even raise his eyelids. As he walked through the garden, he saw several little maids gathering together, chatting and laughing.
"What are they doing?" Dai Ze asked casually.
The two boys looked at it, and one of them replied: "Your Majesty, they seem to be catching house sparrows."
"Finch?" Dai Ze suddenly remembered Xin You's words and subconsciously looked up at the sky.
Just as a few house finches flew by, neither a step too early nor a step too late, a drop of bird droppings landed on Dai Ze's face.
The two young men were stunned: "Shi, Shizi——"
The little maids who heard the noise were also stunned when they saw the scene. Some timid ones covered their mouths and cried in fear.
The bird they attracted pooped on the prince's face, causing big trouble!
Dai Ze raised his hand and touched his face, then looked down at the thing in his hand.
His movements were very slow, and his expression was either too unacceptable or something, it was a kind of numbness that was on the verge of breaking.
At this moment, the wind seemed to have calmed down, and everyone did not dare to express their anger, waiting for the arrogant prince to get angry.
Dai Ze should be angry. Not to mention his temper, even a gentle-tempered young master wouldn't be able to stand this.
But to everyone's surprise, Dai Ze turned around and ran away after being stunned.
"Your Majesty, where are you going?" The two young men hurriedly caught up with him.
Could it be that the prince couldn't stand this disgusting thing and was going crazy?
"Ready my horse!" Dai Ze shouted to the boy who was catching up.
