Chapter 900: Chapter 899: Making Some Money to Treat You to Flower Wine
Wufu strolled ostentatiously down the street with a few ‘minions’, hmm, a few Hidden Guards, occasionally checking the goods at the vendors’ stalls, and buying two hairpins to give to the little girl at home.
After walking a while, Chi Yi and the others had accumulated quite a few things on them, feeling stiff all over. Two Shichen ago, they were Hidden Guards, and now they had turned into servants.
“Relax, you guys look like you’re facing a great enemy. Are you trying to tell others you’re not to be messed with?” Wufu shook her head at their stiff appearance: “Hidden Guards are meant to strike unexpectedly, right? There’s no need to really hide in the shadows; even walking out in the open can deliver a surprise.”
“We’re just used to it!” Chi Yi tugged at the corner of his mouth, indeed it was a habit. Because of their identity, they always stayed in hiding, constantly on guard.
“Then change. Look, how bright the sunshine is, how fresh the air is, how warm the sunlight is, why hide in the dark, damp like a rat?” Wufu grinned mischievously: “You guys can pretend to be little rabbits in wolf’s clothing!”
Everyone twitched their lips. Miss, could your metaphor be any more unique, rat, little rabbit?
“Do you understand the saying ‘playing the pig to eat the tiger’? Others see you as little rabbits, but in reality, you are wolves. Once you burst out, it will shock them — just imagine how fun that would be!”
Fun? This is one wicked sense of humor!
Wufu didn’t mind their expressions, patting a wallet that was already flat, feeling a bit poor.
“You’ve been here for a while, haven’t you?” Wufu looked at Chi Yi.
Chi Yi was a bit wary, asking, “What do you mean, Miss?”
“Have you ever had flower wine?” Wufu suddenly asked.
Cough cough.
Cough cough cough.
They all looked at Wufu with a horrified expression.
“Don’t be so surprised, aren’t all men supposed to drink flower wine? How about I treat you all?” Wufu smiled cheekily.
“Miss, those places…”
“It’s decided then!” Wufu interrupted Chi Er, saying: “Let’s go, make some money first and then drink.”
Make money? What kind of money?
Pretty soon, they realized what she meant by making money; it turned out to be going to the gambling house?
As Hidden Guards, they were familiar with the gambling house, where you could bet on a variety of things, and there were levels. The lowest level had the least skill involved, like guessing dice size and number, and Pai Gow.
Once you reached a certain amount of stakes, you could go to a higher level, where there were courtesans serving, better environments, and a wider range of games.
The most interesting was the top level of the gambling house, where you could bet on stones. If you had enough money, you could go directly to the stone gambling floor, where what was wagered depended on skills, judgment, and wealth.
“Miss, this.” Chi Yi frowned as he looked at Wufu.
The gambling house had all kinds of people. Was it really okay for a lady to come here?
“I’m your ‘young master’.” Wufu squinted, glancing at his hand that was tugging her sleeve, gently reminding him.
Chi Yi immediately let go as if shocked.
Wufu walked inside.
“Boss, what should we do?” Chi Liu whispered, “Should I go back and report?”
Chi Yi frowned: “Forget it, since we’ve been assigned to her, we’re her people for now. Sneaking back to report would be treacherous, and you all know the consequences.”
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts; betraying their master was the most unforgivable act.
