Chapter 146 I Think I Saw a Fairy

146 I Think I Saw a Fairy

Bai Wutong actually patted the big evil dog’s head. Liu Chi’s heart skipped a beat and he smiled awkwardly. “We’re here to look for a friend from a village. We got lost because we didn’t know the way.” He then looked at Xiaobai and said sincerely, “So it’s your beloved pet. I was careless with my words. Please forgive me.”

The aura around Bai Wutong was not like that of a village girl at all. It was even an understatement to describe her as a young lady from a wealthy family in town, yet she had such a vicious dog.

Liu Chi glanced at Bai Wutong and thought to himself that after he married her, he would definitely find a chance to turn the evil dog that had embarra.s.sed him into dog meat buns.

No matter how good Youjia village’s houses were, it was only a countryside. If Bai Wutong knew that his family lived in town and was a private school teacher, she would definitely be willing to marry him.

!!

Bai Wutong had seen the most sinister people. How could she not know what Liu Chi thought he had hidden well?

Her lips curled into a G.o.d-like smile, but there was no warmth in her words. “Indeed you were careless.”

“…”

Liu Chi was a little stunned. Bai Wutong knew that they were lost. Shouldn’t she be kind enough to bring them to visit Zhao Sheng?

‘It’s just a dog. Shouldn’t you say you don’t mind?’

Liu Chi never expected her to say such a thing. He was rendered speechless.

Bai Wutong turned around and left. Liu Chi still did not know her name and where she lived. In a moment of desperation, he called out to Bai Wutong, “Miss, can you…”

Before he could finish, Bai Wutong interrupted, “No.”

Liu Chi :”…”

Liu Chi had pa.s.sed the scholar examination at the age of 16. If not for his bad luck and the postponement of the imperial examination, he would have long become an official.

Even so, he was still a young and promising talent in town and a respected private school teacher. Many girls had secretly fallen for him, but Liu Chi had asked his mother to reject them.

He had seen the prosperity of the city and wanted to find a lady who was worthy of him.

Who would have thought that he would actually fall into the hands of Bai Wutong?

Even if Bai Wutong was rude and did not know etiquette, he still felt that she was straightforward and cute. He had completely forgotten that he used to hate such impolite women the most.

Bai Wutong couldn’t be bothered to talk to him anymore. She patted Xiaobai’s head, and Xiaobai turned around and left Liu Chi’s sight with Bai Wutong.

If Liu Chi chased after her again, he would be hara.s.sing a girl. So he eventually stopped.

He stood there in a daze. For a moment, he forgot his actual matters.

Liu Niu, who had always been careless, could tell. “You like that girl?”

Liu Chi admitted, “Yes.”

Liu Niu felt that Bai Wutong was easy to raise, so he said directly, “You’re not young anymore. I’ll go to Zhao Sheng’s house later and ask around. If the two families are suitable, your mother will help you ask for her hand in marriage.”

It was impossible for Zhao Sheng not to know about such a pretty girl.

Liu Chi thought for a moment and said, “Father, it’s not good for you to step in. Let Mother do it. Don’t alarm the girl.”

There were two people fighting in Liu Chi’s mind now. One was clamoring to marry an official’s daughter, while the other was clamoring to marry the girl he loved.

He decided to find out about Bai Wutong’s family background first. It would be best if Bai Wutong family and Lord Yang’s family were relatives. If not, so long as there were no troublesome matters in Bai Wutong’s family and their conditions were not bad, he could still accept it. If the first two conditions did not meet his expectations, he had to think of a way to make Bai Wutong fall in love with him. When he became an official and married a wife, he would take her in as a concubine and let her enjoy his wealth.

As he thought about it, Liu Chi smiled. Bai Wutong looked so good even though she was dressed so simply. If she wore luxurious jewelry, she would definitely be more dazzling than a princess.

Zhao Erwa was followed by many other children. All of them were holding bamboo baskets and wanted to go into the forest to pick mulberry fruits. Madam Bai had said that she would give them five copper coins for a catty of mulberry fruits. If they picked more, they could exchange it for many, many copper coins.

Liu Chi stood in front of Zhao Erwa and flicked his hair elegantly. “How do I get to Carpenter Zhao’s place?”

Zhao Erwa sneered and said casually, “So disgusting.”

“…”

Liu Chi subconsciously sniffed his hair and looked puzzled. How was he disgusting?

He had clearly washed his hair the previous night.

He lowered his eyes and met the gaze of all the children who looked certain. Liu Chi sniffed again in confusion. He seemed to be a little oily.

However, it was too late to wash his hair now. Liu Chi asked again, “Young Master, may I know how to get to Carpenter Zhao’s place?”

Zhao Erwa asked warily, “Why are you looking for our Uncle Zhao?”

Liu Chi smiled and said, “My father is a carpenter under your Uncle Zhao. I specially came to visit him today.”

Hearing Liu Chi’s answer, the children immediately lowered their guard. Liu Niu lowered his eyes unhappily.

Liu Erwa narrowed his eyes and asked, “Then what’s in it for us to take you?”

If they turned around and went back, they would waste a lot of time. The wasted time would allow them to pick fewer mulberries and lose a lot of copper coins.

Leading the way was equivalent to losing money!

Liu Chi was stunned again. Were all the children here so unkind? They were even thinking about their gains when leading the way.

Seeing how petty he was, Zhao Erwa waved at the other children. “Let’s go!”

Liu Chi was afraid that he would be delayed and that another adult would come and ask for larger gains. He gritted his teeth and took out a copper coin from his sleeve. He smiled and said, “Little Young Master, can you lead the way now?”

Zhao Erwa frowned. “Do you think we’re beggars?”

They moved quickly. During the time they were talking to him, they had already obtained five copper coins.

He took out two more copper coins. “See? I have more than you.” He even had a mocking expression on his face.

Liu Chi did not expect this child to say such words, nor did he expect to be humiliated by a child with two copper coins.

Liu Niu said unhappily, “You child.”

Before he could finish speaking, he was stopped by Liu Chi. He took out four copper coins from his sleeve and discussed, “Young Master, what do you think of these gains?”

The entire village had a close relations.h.i.+p with Lord Yang, and children could not be easily offended. So be it. It was just a few copper coins.

Liu Niu looked pained when he saw him take out a few more copper coins. He had worked hard to make two wooden buckets, but he could only exchange it for 20 copper coins.

...

Zhao Erwa saw that he had taken out another four copper coins. It was not bad to lead the way with five copper coins. He took the copper coins and smiled in satisfaction. Liu Chi thought that he could finally lead the way.

However, Zhao Erwa said, “Can’t you see that there are eight of us? You have to pay a total of 40 copper coins.”

40 copper coins! Liu Niu was so angry that he vomited blood. “Why don’t you rob someone?”

Zhao Erwa glared at them. “This is a standard price. If you don’t want to give it to me, forget it. I don’t want to take you there.”

With that, he threw a few coins to the ground.

However, Liu Chi was shocked that such a young child could actually calculate something as difficult as 40 copper coins for eight people in an instant. Moreover, he even used an idiom very skillfully. Were children nowadays so smart?

He didn’t seem to be able to do it when he was this age.
