Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Chapter 139 Come with Me

As soon as Xuyuan finished speaking, someone started to advise him, "Young Master, this guy looks like a frequent gambler. There's nothing worth your help."

"That's right. It's better to let him fend for himself. How many good things can come out of a gambling house?"

"Just watch the excitement. There's really no need to care so much."

"Yeah, just watch the fun, why bother so much?"

Hearing what was said around him, Xu Yuan did not say anything in reply.

Wu Shiming grabbed Xuyuan's long gown and said anxiously, "Young Master, if you help me, I will definitely repay you in the future."

Wu Shiming said this as he hid behind Xu Yuan.

After hearing Wu Shiming's words, Xu Yuan glanced at those debt collectors and said the same thing as before.

"I'll pay you whatever amount he owes you."

Seeing that someone was willing to pay, the gambling house staff relaxed and said, "Not much, ten taels of silver."

……

In the noodle shop.

Wu Shiming ate three bowls of noodles in one breath, and finally wiped his mouth with a feeling of being unsatisfied.

After Xuyuan paid the money, he asked, "Are you full?"

Wu Shiming nodded.

He looked at the handsome young man in front of him and murmured for a long time.

"Thank you."

Xuyuan poured a cup of tea and asked, "What's your name?"

"Wu Shiming." Wu Shiming said slowly.

An expected answer.

Xuyuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I didn’t save the wrong person.

In his previous life, when Xu Yuan entered the capital, Wu Shiming's reputation had already spread.

She had only heard of him but never seen him.

When I was in prison, I met Wu Shiming.

At that time, Wu Shiming was dressed in jewels and precious stones. Even when he was imprisoned, he was still confident and talked eloquently, thinking that he could escape from prison unscathed.

Nothing like now...

He was pale and thin, his face was so thin that you could almost see the bones, and his eyes were lifeless. Only when he was seen eating did he show a hint of emotion.

It looks like he has been starving for a long time.

Xu Yuan looked at Wu Shiming.

Wu Shiming also looked at Xuyuan in the same way.

He was dressed neatly, with a faint smile on his face, and his cuffs were worn out. He looked like a scholar...

Judging from their clothes, they don’t belong to a wealthy family.

But he is very generous.

Wu Shiming has argued with countless people, but at this moment he doesn't understand why the person in front of him is so contradictory.

He didn't think about it for long, because Xuyuan spoke again.

"What are you going to do next?"

Xu Yuan was not very interested in Wu Shiming's past because she knew almost everything about it.

What she wanted to do was to cooperate with Wu Shiming before he became successful.

She is a scholar and cannot do business.

Therefore, she had to find someone to do things for her.

Wu Shiming is the best one.

"do not know."

Wu Shiming withdrew his gaze, still holding the bag tightly.

Xuyuan changed the question: "Then why did you go to the gambling house?"

"I want to make money." Wu Shiming looked at Xu Yuan, "I want to bury my grandfather."

Xu Yuan couldn't help but look into Wu Shiming's arms.

She had seen that tablet before.

In his previous life, Xu Yuan didn’t know why Wu Shiming made his fortune in the gambling house, but now he finally understood.

He wants to make money.

There are obviously many ways to make money.

Xu Yuan thought for a moment and then said, "You can't make money in a gambling house. I mean, you can't make money by gambling. Have you ever thought of other ways?"

Wu Shiming smiled, and there was something scary on his face that was so thin that only bones were left.

"My benefactor doesn't know that I am a surrogate child. I have long been famous in the capital. Therefore, no wealthy family dares to employ me."

Most of the noble families seek good fortune.

Wu Shiming had also thought about entering the palace.

But entering the palace cost a lot of money, and he hadn't even buried his grandfather.

He kept begging and had enough to support himself, but he couldn't bury his grandfather.

Because he didn't have the money to buy the land.

"What if I dare to use you?"

Wu Shiming was stunned.

Xu Yuan continued: "How about you help me do something and I'll pay you?"

"Really...really?"

Wu Shiming's hands were shaking as he held the bundle.

"Of course it's true."

Xu Yuan nodded and said, "I don't need you to do anything else. I can find you a job and help you bury your grandfather. As for the rest, we can talk about it later."

Wu Shiming's heart was beating fast.

After a moment, he came back to his senses from his excitement, calmed down and asked: "Then benefactor, what do you want?"

"I am a scholar. I do not seek wealth or fame. However, I want you to do something for me. What you do should not be against the law of nature and must be within your ability."

After Xu Yuan finished stating his conditions, he looked at Wu Shiming and asked, "How about it?"

This time, Wu Shiming did not hesitate and said "OK!"

Wu Shiming was a posthumous child.

He has suffered a lot of cold stares since he was a child. He has no friends, no playmates, and lives like a monster.

After his grandfather passed away, he became a beggar and has been so ever since.

Everyone looked at him with contempt and indifference.

Only by making a wish, only by making a wish can the way he looks at her be different.

He treated him like a human being.

"My name is Xuyuan, please follow me first."

Wu Shiming followed closely and made a wish.

Xu Yuan went straight back to the yard, but Wu Shiming took a look outside before following Xu Yuan in.

Fearing that it would bring bad luck, he put the bundle behind the door and then tiptoed to make a wish.

Xu Yuan boiled some hot water for Wu Shiming, found a set of his own clothes, handed them to Wu Shiming and said, "Clean."

Half an hour later, Wu Shiming came out clean and tidy.

Wu Shiming is very thin.

The clothes he had made a wish for looked a lot bigger than before.

Seeing Wu Shiming like this, Xu Yuan nodded and said, "You can stay here first. As for work, where do you want to go?"

Wu Shiming glanced at Xu Yuan and said hesitantly, "I want to go to the gambling house."

After saying this, Wu Shiming explained, fearing that Xu Yuan might misunderstand him, "I'm not going there to gamble, I'm just going to the casino to take a look."

Xu Yuan was silent for a moment and did not refute.

"In that case, I'll go to the gambling house and ask tomorrow."

After hearing Xu Yuan's words, Wu Shiming said, "Thank you, benefactor."

"Don't call me benefactor, I'm just helping you."

Xu Yuan raised his lips and smiled, "My name is Xu Yuan, you can just call me by my name from now on."

Wu Shiming nodded vigorously.

Xu Yuan raised his head, glanced at the sky and said, "I have something else to do today. I just prepared a room for you. You can have a rest first. If you have anything else, we can talk about it tomorrow."

Wu Shiming nodded and couldn't help but look towards the door.

But he still didn't speak.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan said, "Wait until I come back, and I will find a land for your grandfather tomorrow."

A light flashed in Wu Shiming's eyes and he immediately smiled.

Xu Yuan smiled, didn't answer, went into the house, changed his clothes and went out.

When she came out, Wu Shiming found a broom from somewhere and was sweeping the floor.

Making a wish didn't stop you from going out.

After Xu Yuan left, Wu Shiming slowly approached the door, listened for a while, put down the broom, and tiptoed towards Xu Yuan's bedroom...
