Chapter 1762 - A Master?
My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker!
No one would believe that he wasnât a hidden master!
The senior gave a frown and cast Qiao Mu a sidelong look. âWhat are you child saying? This old man is just an ordinary beggar.â
Qiao Mu naturally didnât buy it and gave a light harrumph.
Seeing that she was about to put away the jade gourd, the senior became anxious as he yammered, âHey hey, what exactly do you child want to know. Just say it.â âDo you dare say that you didnât approach me for some purpose?â Qiao Mu questioned mildly.
The old senior immediately put on an innocent look and giggled, âWhat purpose could this old man have? This old man just got aroused by the scent of wine and ran over to ask you child for some wine.â
The old beggar tried his hardest to put on a show of âplease look at my sincere expression.â
âOh, is that so?â Qiao Mu couldnât help but scoff, âStop pretending! You could see through my jade gourd at a glance, yet you dare say that you are not a master?â
The old senior hastily waved it off and explained, âNo, no, you child are overthinking
it.â
After saying this, the old senior pulled over a chair and squeezed in next to Qiao Mu. He then gave in with a grin, âFine, seeing as how you shared wine with this old man, this old man will give you something good. Donât you child think that this old man is a swindler.â
Qiao Mu found it a bit funny on the inside, but she did not show it on the outside. The old senior was not able to make anything out from her little stoic face no matter how he tried.
In the end, the old senior could not help but feel gloomy. He was dissatisfied with her attitude and pressed, âAre you not the least bit curious at all?â
Shouldnât such a young little lady immediately show interest in this gift and ask what he was giving her?
Why was this little fellow not going according to the set routine?
A certain Qiaoqiao who did not get caught up in the old seniorâs pace blinked at the latterâs quibble. âThen old grandpa, what do you want to give me?â
The old senior immediately beamed and laughed while slapping his thigh, âAiya, thatâs right! Donât act sullen all day long when youâre still a young girl.â
Qiao Mu twitched her mouth, but she did not refute him.
âHow about this, Iâll let you see that good thing if you pour me two full bowls.â
Ma Ta couldnât help but be disgruntled. âThis old senior, you couldnât be thinking of swindling us of wine?â
âDonât you spout nonsense, lad. Is this old man that kind of person!!â The old senior glanced at him with flaring nostrils before turning to smile at Qiao Mu. âLittle fellow, come, come, come. Fill it to the brim.â
Qiao Mu found this old seniorâs behavior charmingly funny. In reality, she hadnât planned to make things difficult for him from the start. She just wanted to tease this old senior. She poured the senior a big bowl and saw him chug down a large mouthful.
Qiao Mu tilted her petite head. âOld Grandpa, I also have appetizers to go with this wine. Do you want some?â
The old seniorâs eyes instantly lit up. âYes, yes, yes. You child really arenât considerate enough. You only thought of it after seeing this old man drink so much.â
Everyone: â...â
This senior really made himself at home. He did not feel the least bit embarrassed from extorting a little lady.
With a wave of her hand, Qiao Mu took out a plate of spicy yellow croaker and held it in her arms. She then asked, âOld Grandpa, what good thing do you have?â
