The gentleman is knocking on the door

Chapter 90 Helping the Female Water Ghost
91
Mi Congcong changed his mind, and shouted to his master: "Master, how about we help it?"

Gu Tong hid in the shade, swayed his legs and said, "Don't drag me down for thankless things!"

Well, I originally wanted to test this girl, but now this girl is going to show her kindness again.

Gu Tong didn't know that Mi Congcong wanted to help the female water ghost because of selfishness, and thought she was too soft-hearted.

Mi Congcong didn't go to see the anxious female water ghost, but also went ashore, and sat down beside Gu Tong: "Master, I have spent all the money I have on hand these days just to arrange a banquet for you. If we help this Only female water ghost, maybe you can earn some money and come back, and it will not be a problem for you to go to Zuixian Tower to eat."

Speaking of food, Gu Tong sat up with a "swoosh" and said, "Zuixian Tower?"

"That's right, Zuixianlou is the most famous restaurant in Feiyu County. The wine inside is delicious and the dishes are good, but it's more expensive."

Gu Tongcai was not so easy to be fooled, he looked at Mi Congcong suspiciously: "Are you so sure that you will make money by helping this female water ghost?"

"Of course." Mi Congcong ignored the blind man, and told Gu Tong about the last time he helped Mrs. Guo and Chen Mengliang.

Gu Tong stroked his mustache and thought for a while, then looked at his little apprentice again: "You promise to make delicious food for the teacher after you earn money?"

"Of course!" Mi Congcong replied without hesitation: "A teacher for a day, a father for life, even if you don't help me, Master, I still have to honor you within my ability, yes No?"

"This is what the teacher loves to hear!" Gu Tong looked at the river, his short eyebrows trembling: "But this female water ghost can't speak, how can we help it?"

Ordinary ghosts would hide away when they saw Gu Tong, and those unlucky ghosts who couldn't escape were either taken in by him or superseded, so this was the first time Gu Tong encountered such a situation.

Mi Congcong thought of this question just now, and seeing that her master was willing to help her, she walked back to the river and asked the female water ghost in the river, "Can you write?"

The female water ghost showed a sad face, and after a while she shook her head angrily, Mi Congcong frowned.

I can't speak or write, how can I help?
Seeing Mi Congcong's embarrassment, the female water ghost pointed to the sky and then to the water.

Mi Congcong didn't understand what the female water ghost meant, she thought about it, and asked tentatively, "You want me to come back at night?"

The female water ghost showed a delighted smile and nodded.

"Girl, you can actually understand what it's saying!" Gu Tong who came behind Mi Congcong looked at Mi Congcong like a monster.

"Master, didn't I guess this?" Mi Congcong didn't expect to be right: "It was afraid of the sun just now, but it would refer to the sky and the river, so I guess it should mean that it is inconvenient during the day."

"Is this all right?" Gu Tong found it inconceivable.

"Master, shall we come back at night?" Mi Congcong asked Gu Tong.

As long as his life is not threatened, Mi Congcong is already calm when facing ghosts.

Gu Tong is a very lazy person, but thinking of his apprentice's cooking skills, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, come over tonight!"

As soon as Mi Congcong returned to the restaurant, he heard from Gu Yu that Zhong Jingchao had been waiting for her for a long time, and that he had something important to see her for.

Mi Congcong paused: "Where is he?"

"He won't tell the guests today, so I'll let him wait for the girl in private room No. [-]." Thinking of Zheng Shi and Zhong Jingmei, who are no different from shrews, Gu Yu asked worriedly: "Girl, could it be that Zheng Shi asked him came to see you?"

What Gu Yu meant was that Zhong Jingchao came to withdraw the engagement?

Gu Yu knows that Mi Congcong rejects this marriage no less than Zheng's. In fact, he also thinks that Zhong Jingchao is not a good match for his girl, but this marriage has already been made, and if he withdraws, it will definitely affect his girl's reputation. .

"No!" Micong said with confidence, knowing what Bai Guyu meant.

The withdrawal of the marriage has to go through the elders of both parties, how could it be that Zhong Jingchao came directly to her to withdraw the marriage?
Another point is that if the news Lou Chenxiao heard is correct, Zhong Jingchao may have a deeper purpose in getting engaged to him besides fancying her money, and it is even more impossible to withdraw at this time.

When Zhong Jingchao saw Mi Congcong coming in, his expression didn't change at all, he just said lightly, "You're here."

"I don't know why Zhong Xiucai is looking for me?" Mi Congcong asked straightforwardly, not wanting to waste time with him.

"I'm here today to apologize to Miss Mi on behalf of my mother." Seeing that Mi Congcong twitched the corners of his lower lip mockingly and did not speak, Zhong Jingchao said again: "Miss Mi, I assure you that my mother will not come again in the future." The teahouse is making trouble, and I hope you don't take this matter to heart."

Mi Congcong looked at him, and asked nonchalantly, "Are you really sure Mrs. Zhong won't make trouble again?"

As far as she knew, he was a dutiful son!

"Zhong promises."

Mi Congcong's eyes flashed, and there was a faint smile on his lips. Zhong Jingchao couldn't figure out what she was thinking, so he couldn't help asking: "Miss Mi doesn't believe me?"

"Of course I believe it!" Mi Congcong said seriously: "Zhong Xiucai is a good example, how can I not believe what he said?"

If Mi Congcong didn't have that playful smile on his lips when he said this, Zhong Jingchao might have believed that she really did, but her expression was obviously mocking him.

Zhong Jingchao's face was a bit ugly: "Miss Mi, don't worry, I, Zhong, will do what I say, and I will never let my mother come to the teahouse to make trouble again!"

Zhong Jingchao has been waiting here for a long time and has long been waiting for the fire to come out. How can he stand Mi Congcong's provocation now?
Seeing Zhong Jingchao holding back his anger and walking out of the private room, Mi Congcong smiled.

This time I really laughed.

No matter how gentle and polite Zhong Jingchao usually pretended to be, didn't she show her true nature when she got a little agitated just now?
Mi Congcong really wondered if he was blind in his previous life, otherwise why would he give everything for such a wolf-hearted thing?
She expected that Zhong Jingchao would not resign, so she was not disappointed, but Mi Congcong himself would resign this marriage sooner or later!
In Zuixian Tower, Mo Qi, dressed in plain clothes, entered the A-shaped private room.

When Mo Qi entered the private room, Lou Chenxiao raised his lower eyelids.

"Master, Zheng Shi has already been reminded." Mo Qi said.

"Well," Lou Chenxiao seemed to be in a good mood: "It's time to prepare and get ready."

"Yes!" Mo Qi also looked happy, hesitated for a while, and asked again: "Master, do you need to notify the master first?"

"Notify." Lou Chenxiao raised his lips and smiled.

The old man must be a fool to know this.

Because of agreeing to the female water ghost, Mi Congcong and Gu Tongtian went out as soon as it got dark.

When they came to the small river outside the city, the female water ghost was already waiting for them on the bank.

The female water ghost was afraid of the bell on Mi Congcong's body, and even more afraid of Gu Tong, watching them from a few meters away.

　PS: Spoiler alert, the heroine will withdraw from the marriage in the next chapter, good night, okay~~
