Chapter 620 A big gamble! (2)
Mu Yao was amused by her: "I have my own happy place, you little girls should take care of yourselves first." After finishing speaking, he drank the wine in his glass again, then took a piece of steamed fish with his chopsticks Put it in your mouth.

"The young master's words, do you want the servants to pass them on to the empress?" Xiao Man asked with a smile.

Mu Yao glared at her, and snorted, "You are spoiled by her."

"I don't dare." Xiao Man lowered her head to admit her mistake, but the corner of her mouth couldn't hide the smile.

But Mu Yao changed the subject: "By the way, when does she want to start the matter of the cook girl? What do I need to do then, do you have a charter?"

Xiao Man whispered: "Miss Yan's previous ancestral property was the famous Jiahe Building in the capital, and now this Jiahe Building is under the name of a Taoist. Although this person is just a commoner, he has many connections with the former Minister of Rites, Shao Xilan's family. The empress has long wanted to take the property back from the hands of Tao, but she didn't want to leave any traces for those people to follow, and she was reluctant to let Wen Zhen leave the palace, so she never made a move. Now that the decision has been made, then It is most appropriate to start with Jiahe Tower."

"How did this person surnamed Tao take Jiahelou away from the Yan family?" Mu Yao leaned on the chair, looking at Xiaoman with fascinated eyes.

Speaking of this, Xiao Man became so angry that her liver ached, and she said angrily, "It was a bet from Miss Yan's useless father. Because although the Dayun Dynasty did not allow officials' children to gamble, but the one surnamed Tao took that The old man entered the gambling house registered by the Ministry of Household Affairs, so the bet is valid, and both parties have signed and pledged, so the government cannot invalidate it."

"Gambling?" Mu Yao regained his energy immediately, sat up straight and smiled, "How did he know that Master is so good?"

Xiao Man immediately laughed when she heard this: "Your servant will forget that the young master's gambling luck is the best in the world."

"Of course, you haven't heard of that saying." Mu Yao leaned softly on the back of the chair again, curled up in a ball of fox fur like a cat in winter, without any energy.

"What are you talking about?" It's not that Xiao Man is stupid, it's that their young master's thinking is jumping too fast, and she can't keep up.

"Frustrated in love, proud in the casino!" Mu Yao sighed leisurely, and nodded Xiao Man in the air, "Idiot! I have been with that girl for a long time, and my mind is full of food and drink, and I have no serious thoughts." gone."

"..." Xiao Man pursed her lips helplessly, picked up her chopsticks and concentrated on eating—anyway, she can't talk to you, so let's eat seriously, otherwise it would be a pity to have such good food on this big table.

It's just that I didn't eat two mouthfuls of the good food, so Xiao Man stopped immediately and looked outside vigilantly.But Mu Yao covered his mouth with his hands and yawned, and sighed leisurely: "It's just two little guys, why are you so nervous?"

"Young master thinks they are little guys, but these two little guys are not so simple. They managed to hide from the eyes of the people below and come upstairs." Xiao Man said, raising his hand to take off a silver hairpin in the bun. In his hand, he dodged and hid behind the door.

However, the door was not pushed open, but the carved window sash next to it was suddenly pushed open, and a dark purple figure floated in silently, stood in front of Xiaoman, turned around slowly, and smiled leisurely: "Sister Xiaoman, I won Already!"

"Miss Shao?" Xiao Man looked at the young girl in front of her in surprise, and frowned helplessly: "Why did you come here? Isn't there a banquet in the palace?"

"The banquet in the palace is too boring. So we came to find my sister and you to play." The door was pushed open, and Wei Xiyue, who was dressed in peacock blue tight clothes, came in with a smile, and she seemed to be sleeping on her seat. The man bowed and said, "Uncle Mu, Xiyue wishes you a happy old age. Your new year is auspicious and everything goes well."

"Yeah. I still know about New Year's greetings. It seems that your seventh uncle taught you pretty well." Mu Yao slowly opened his eyes, looked at the two juicy girls in front of him, and said with a smile, "However, I don't have lucky money here."

"This is impossible!" Wei Xiyue immediately stepped forward and took Mu Yao's arm and shook it, "You are an elder, and we are juniors to give you New Year's greetings. How can we not have lucky money? This is more or less, at least That's what I mean. Otherwise, when my little aunt asks, how can I answer?"

"Yo? According to what you mean, your little aunt knows that you are looking for me?" Mu Yao asked with a smile.

Wei Xiyue smiled sweetly, and asked, "Uncle Mu, what do you think?"

Mu Yao laughed helplessly, and snorted, "I don't guess!"

"Yanran, sit down." Xiao Man put the silver hairpin back into her bun, and moved another chair for Shao Yanran, "When did you run out? Have you eaten dinner yet?"

"We came out a long time ago. We searched half of the imperial capital to find this place. There is no time to eat." Shao Yanran sat down unceremoniously, stretched out her hand and tore a chicken leg and gnawed it.

Seeing this, Xiao Man ordered outside again: "Make two bowls of Lantern Festival."

"I want rose stuffing!" Wei Xiyue groaned.

"You guys!" Xiao Man watched these two girls eating like hungry wolves, and sighed helplessly, "It's okay for the empress to come out sneakily like this, if your mother finds out, how about going back? punish you."

"It's okay, I'll just say that the Empress sent me out." Wei Xiyue ate confidently.

Xiao Man snorted amusedly, "What can the queen order you for? You really know how to find a shield."

Wei Xiyue smiled triumphantly, she naturally knew that as long as the queen was moved out, it would be God's defense against gods and Buddhas, no matter whether it was at home or outside, no one could do anything about her.

Mu Yao suddenly opened those lazy eyes, and said with a smile: "Okay, since you are here on a mission for the empress, don't waste your name in vain, don't eat, go with Uncle Mu With that said, Mu Yao got up, grabbed Wei Xiyue's wrist and walked out.

"Ah...where are we going? I'm not full yet!" Wei Xiyue was still holding a pair of ebony and silver chopsticks in her hand.

"Go to a more fun place, I'm sure you like it." Mu Yao turned around and grabbed the chopsticks in Wei Xiyue's hand and threw them back on the table, then raised his chin at Shao Yanran, "Little girl from the Shao family, do you dare?" go?"

"Hmph, why don't you dare?" Shao Yanran threw away the chicken bone in her hand, wiped her mouth with Xiaoman's handkerchief and threw it to her, "Sister Xiaoman going?"

Xiao Man looked at her young master's face, and said with a smile, "I won't go, you follow young master, be careful, don't go home too late."

Shao Yanran followed Mu Yao's footsteps without saying a word, and chased them downstairs.

On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the imperial capital is almost a city that never sleeps.

Although it was already the second watch, the bustle of the street remained undiminished. The streets were bustling with people, and there were many young girls and young men traveling together, adding a lot of charm to this bustling ancient capital.On such a street, Mu Yao, a handsome young man like Wei Xiyue, led a young girl like Wei Xiyue across the street without any less abruptness.
