Chapter 281 Seeking a son
Several people sat back in their original seats, and Fat Tiger knelt on the ground again with a thud.
Mingyue: Are all the men in Minzhou so weak in the knees?
Fat Tiger solemnly took out a gold bar from his arms. It was wrapped in a handkerchief and sparkled with gold.
Mingyue's eyes lit up for a moment, but she turned her head away the next moment. She said, "He's trying to bribe me with gold. This must not be a good thing."
Zhao Yunshan's face also looked a little bad. Minghao was waiting for him to make some unreasonable demands, and then he punched him.
"Little princess, um, um, I'm three years old this year and still have no children... I heard that you... can..." Fat Tiger found it difficult to speak.
"Okay, stop. I know what you are going to say. Those are all rumors outside. Don't take them seriously. Relax and lose some weight. The child will naturally get it in the future." Mingyue lied.
But Fat Tiger believed it.
Mingyue's words were interpreted like this in his ears:
"Don't take it seriously, it's just a rumor out there" is equivalent to "It's true, but it has to be kept secret."
"Relax and lose some weight" is equivalent to "The child dislikes his future parents. If only they could change, the child would be here soon."
"The baby will come naturally when I get back" means "As long as I do what she says, the baby will probably be in my wife's belly."
After some self-imagination, he was extremely excited. He stuffed the gold bar into Mingyue's hand, kowtowed twice, and said devoutly, "I will do as you say!"
Mingyue felt the cold but heavy gold bar, feeling a little guilty, "Ah, are you really giving it to me? You are not allowed to take it back."
"No, no, it's just a way to show my filial piety to you!" Fat Tiger was very sensible.
Regardless of whether the rumors about Princess Mingzhu are true or not, the gold is worth it.
Seeing that he knew his limits, Jiang Mengrou said nothing more.
Mingyue felt a little embarrassed, waved to Zhizhi, and took the gold and silver buns prepared as rewards from her.
"Use this to treat our uncles and aunts from Rongxin Hall to a meal and some drinks. Don't think the other small bag is too much, it's for you alone." Mingyue stuffed both purses into Fat Tiger's hands.
Jiang Mengrou looked at it and nodded. Her daughter still knew how to control herself.
Fat Tiger was overjoyed and immediately stuffed the small purse into the innermost part of his clothes, "Don't worry, I'll do it for you!"
Just like that, Mingyue left Rongxin Hall and prepared to go to the next destination.
As for the shopkeeper behind him, after watching the young master leave, he hid back in the private room, secretly took out his purse, opened it and saw two koi gold dumplings inside!
"Hey, Xiao Cui!"
The waiter outside the door came over after hearing the voice. "Boss, what's the matter?"
"The one who just came was the young boss. Go back and tell the brothers who are not here that they must be respectful when they see him in the future!" Fat Tiger instructed seriously.
"Hey hey hey!" Xiao Cui nodded quickly.
"By the way, you take a look at the shop first. I'll go reserve a table for you and bring some food back. The host is treating us today. If there is any extra money, we can divide it equally, one for each of you." Fat Tiger opened the big purse, showed it to Xiao Cui, and put it back.
"Okay!" Xiao Cui jumped up excitedly. He was young, only thirteen or fourteen years old, the age when he was the most greedy. After all, he didn't know if he could have a feast once a year.
Fat Tiger took advantage of the time he had to wait after booking the table to go home.
"Ah Hu, why are you back?" Fat Tiger's wife had just finished washing clothes and was hanging them up to dry.
Fat Tiger grabbed her wrist and said, "Come on, wife, let's go inside and talk."
She thought he was going to do that, and hurriedly made excuses, "Ah Hu, are we still doing that? It's been more than ten years, I, I..."
Fat Tiger covered her mouth and said, "Wife, don't say anything and listen to me!"
Fat Tiger’s wife nodded.
"Last year, the traveling merchants from the capital mentioned that Princess Mingzhu was blessed with great fortune. Even the orphanage she opened was blessed with such good fortune that many people prayed for children there and were granted their blessings. It was more effective than the temples."
"Yeah, why did Ah Hu bring up this? Don't you have time to accompany me to the capital? Besides, the mountains are high and the roads are long. If it's useless, then our trip would be in vain..." Speaking of the child, she lowered her head in disappointment and clenched her handkerchief.
"Look, wife! What is this?" Fat Tiger handed the golden bun given by Mingyue to his wife.
"Here, these are two koi fish? Are they made of pure gold? Did you buy them to cheer me up?"
Fat Tiger shook his head and said, "This was given to me by someone else."
"Well, you Fatty, did you accept bribes? You don't act like a good shopkeeper. Did you take kickbacks? Do you live with your conscience?" His wife thought that this thing came from an illegal source, and pinched his ears and scolded him.
"Hey, my wife, please show some mercy, please show some mercy. This is a gift from Princess Mingzhu!"
When she heard Princess Mingzhu, she stopped moving, and Fat Tiger finally found the opportunity to explain to her.
"Ahhh, seriously! The little princess is really in our Minzhou, and has become the boss of the place where you work! Oh my God, I can't believe it!" She stood up and jumped excitedly.
Fu carefully picked up the golden bun and said, "You said this was given by the little princess? I was wondering why it looks so sparkling and even has a fragrance!"
Fat Tiger walked up to her and held her waist, "Hey, that's the scent of your man~"
"Did you ask the princess for this?" Fat Tiger's wife seemed to have thought of something, suddenly pushed him away and asked.
"Yeah, as your man, I know how to seize the opportunity." Fat Tiger thought he could get a kiss from his wife, but he didn't expect to be beaten again.
"Wife, what are you doing?" Pangpang felt aggrieved and didn't say anything.
"How dare you make such an unreasonable request when you meet someone for the first time!" She said this but her hands did not stop moving.
Fat Tiger grimaced in pain.
He only stopped beating her when he was tired. "Remember to change your name and apologize to the princess when you see her again!"
"Oh, oh, oh, I know, I know."
At night, Fat Tiger and his wife both had a dream in which they both fell into huge waves at the same time.
Just when they were about to be swept away by the wind and waves, two koi fish suddenly picked them up and brought them back to the shore safely. Before leaving, they kept jumping and saying, "Wait for me." Then they swam back to the sea.
Neither of them mentioned this to each other. After all, they had both had strange dreams over the past decade or so. Whenever they told each other about it, they were always treated as if it was a pregnancy dream, and their excitement was ultimately in vain.
This time, they also didn't have much expectations and even forgot about it the next day.

"Old man, do you think this couple are stupid? Why do they believe when they shouldn't, and not believe when they should?" The boy complained, holding the cloud in his hand.
The old man beside him shook his head and said, "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed. It's not that it won't happen, it's that the time has not come yet."
"Tsk, that's all you can say..."
