472: Chapter 472 Deceive and Lure the Enemy
Wufu today, while at the scene, misjudged two pieces of seed material, and Ah Jiu knew about it.
However, he didn’t see it the way Wen Jian and the others did—they thought she lacked ability and insight—instead, he believed it was all intentional.
As for why he was so sure, perhaps it was blind trust?
Now, having heard Wufu’s words, he was very pleased and said, “You have learned to cloud the vision of your opponents.”
Wufu chuckled, “That way, when I spot sothing good tomorrow, no one will compete with
for it.”
“Oh, so you’re certain there will be good things?” Ah Jiu raised an eyebrow.
“Not certain, but whatever is presented at the finale should be good, right?
Otherwise, why call it a finale?
If there really isn’t, then I just won’t bid!” Wufu said.
“But if there truly are good things, and others notice them too, they will compete with you, right?”
With a sycophantic smile, Wufu said, “That’s exactly why I need Ninth Master to join the ga!”
She pushed the silver, initially ant to be deposited in the bank—no, after a spree of wild shopping and extravagant eating, it was less than ten thousand taels—across to Ah Jiu.
“This is all I have.
I hope Ninth Master can back
up.”
Ah Jiu glanced at the chest and said, “You really are willing to gamble your entire capital, considering it’s not even warm in your hands!”
Was this blind self-confidence or sothing else?
Nevertheless, it’s just gambling on stones; taking a shot wouldn’t hurt.
On one hand, the two agreed to act tomorrow according to Wufu’s wishes, while on the other hand, Yu Zhen and the others reconvened at Yunxiao Pavilion to thoroughly criticize the day’s stone gambling events.
The most talked-about was undoubtedly Wufu.
“How could soone so young possibly match Craftmaster Yu?
Losing two pieces of seed material in a row, her vision is just, ugh, I beg Hundred Treasures Silver Building not to embarrass themselves by bringing her along.”
Sipping his drink, Yu Zhen felt a great sense of vanity.
He could almost conclude that Wufu would not gamble on stones and might only carve a couple of trinkets thinking she’s done sothing impressive, but then again, it might just be Hundred Treasures Silver Building deliberately using her to confuse everyone.
After all, she’s so young; if she loses, no one would say anything.
They would rely say her skills are not yet perfected.
Hmph, such a cunning plan, just like that girl, surely a case of birds of a feather flocking together.
“Being young has its advantages.
If she loses, it’s not really a big deal.
Maybe it’s all deliberate!” said Yu Zhen with a chuckle.
“Oh, how so?”
“With her being so young, how can you bla her!” he said with pretended profundity.
The crowd fell silent, mulling over his words, soon coming to an epiphany.
“Let’s not talk about this.
Let’s drink, and wish everyone here a big win tomorrow.”
“To drinking, to drinking.”
The noise of Yunxiao Pavilion could not reach the County Governnt Office of Huayang County.
Wen Congrui received a ssage by carrier pigeon, glanced at it, his brows furrowed then relaxed.
“What’s that girl up to?” It’s not like her to be this lousy.
When Lan Shu ca in holding a tonic, she saw Wen Congrui lost in thought over the note.
“Young Master, your late-night snack is ready.” Lan Shu timidly placed the tray on the table, carefully opened the stew pot lid, cautious not to startle him.
Wen Congrui glanced at her, his eyes falling on a small mark beneath her bangs.
Ever since she had bumped into the table last ti, he hadn’t brought up the matter of letting her go again, but it seed she had beco scared and dared not ntion anything related to Wufu anymore.
Wen Congrui sighed and said, “I’ll be going to the prefectural city early tomorrow; I have been on leave these past few days.
Co with ; your Third Uncle is there too.”
Ding.
The spoon clinked against the bowl, whitening Lan Shu’s face with fright: “Young Master, I don’t…”
“I didn’t say you could leave.
If you’re unwilling, then so be it!” Wen Congrui took the bowl from her.
Only then did Lan Shu smile, saying, “I’ll go prepare right away!”
