Chapter 72 Wei Shu

Changsujiang Wharf Restaurant.

Zuo Weiyue looked at Wei Xiaoya, who was devouring food in front of her, and then at Wei Shu, who was sitting next to Wei Xiaoya, who was very uneasy. She was a little surprised how Lou Huai recognized his identity.

"Brother, brother, it's good to be seven, you are also seven, cough, cough."

The little girl wearing the hijab looks nothing like Wei Shu. She has a pair of beautiful almond-shaped eyes and an extremely thin face that has not yet been opened.

There was also a sickly look on both cheeks, which suggested that he was physically ill.

Seeing that she was getting choked up while talking, Wei Shu, who had a bookish look on his face, quickly patted her on the back and cheered her up.

"Nanny, please eat slowly, no one will compete with you."

When Wei Xiaoya got better, Wei Shu licked his chapped lips and looked at Lou Huai, who had an extremely unremarkable face in front of him: "How did you recognize me?"

In the boat room, not long after Lou Huai called out Wei Shu's name, a group of crew members returned to the boat room to pick up things.

In order to help the two Wei Shu brothers out of trouble, Lou Huai and Wei Shu first helped the woman who had fainted on the ground to the couch, pretending that she was resting.

Then he told the crew members who came down that the Wei Shu brothers and sisters had followed them and fooled them.

After doing this, Zuo Weiyue heard the sound of hunger coming from Wei Xiaoya's belly. She guessed that she had not eaten, so she suggested to find a restaurant first.

That's why a group of them appeared here now.

Lou Huai looked at Wei Shu's hungry and pale lips, and did not reply to him first, but asked him to finish the meal in front of him first.

"Don't worry, let's finish eating first."

Wei Shu was indeed very hungry. In order to save rations for the sick Wei Xiaoya in the morning, he only drank thin porridge and soup.

By now I was already so hungry that I felt a little dizzy.

After a moment of silence, he finally moved his chopsticks and started eating.

Even though both brothers and sisters are very hungry, they are quite elegant in their eating habits.

It was definitely not good for Zuo Weiyue and Zuo Weiyue to stare at someone while they were eating, so they tugged on Lou Huai's sleeves, pointed to the terrace outside the tea house, and said in a breathy voice close to his ear: "Muggle Lou,

Let’s go over there.”

Lou Huai had no interest in watching people eating. After talking to Wei Shu, he got up and went to the terrace.

Because this place is close to the bank of the Changsu River, the river wind is stronger and the fish smell is stronger.

When they arrived at the place, Lou Huai subconsciously unfolded his wind-proof cloak and motioned for Zuo Weiyue to get in and talk.

Of course, Zuo Weiyue also smelled the fishy smell that she couldn't stand. She didn't think much about it and entered Lou Huai's cloak like a little kangaroo getting into the mother's pouch.

Then she looked up at the young man who was much taller than her and asked, "How do you know he is Wei Shu's? Have you seen him before?"

Lou Huai was not surprised that Zuo Weiyue would ask him this matter anxiously due to his impatience, and helped her straighten her black hair that had become slightly messy because she got into his cloak: "I haven't seen it, but I have been working in the City of Eternal Cold these days.

When I was there, I vaguely heard that Wei Shu usually takes his sister with him wherever he goes."

"From what you say, Wei Shu is still considered a celebrity in the City of Eternal Cold?"

Zuo Weiyue sniffed another gust of fishy wind, and after digging her little head into Lou Huai's cloak, she recalled in her mind the embarrassed appearance of the Wei Shu brothers and sisters just now.

I was wondering if this luck value mission was released by mistake. Why would the system allow a person who looks rather embarrassed to become Lou Huai's influence? If such a person is accepted, will it really be of any use?

Lou Huai nodded: "That's right. I haven't passed the imperial examination for ten years. Do you think he is famous?"

"Ten years?"

Although Zuo Weiyue didn't know that the imperial examinations in Xiding were held every few years, but based on her previous experience in taking exams in the magical world, in ten years, even if you take a random test, you will achieve something if you put your heart into it.

From this point of view, it does make sense for Wei Shu to be so famous.

"Then what do you plan to ask him to do after you take him in? He hasn't been able to pass the exam for ten years, so he shouldn't be able to help you much, right?"

After asking this question, Zuo Weiyue caught a glimpse of the brother and sister who were still eating heavily from the corner of her eye. She always felt that it would not be so simple.

"Of course not. Since you knew in the prophecy that accepting him can help me increase my luck, then he must not be a mediocre person. However, due to some things, he seems to be relatively useless now."

After Lou Huai said that, he looked at Zuo Weiyue's nose, which had been blown red by the wind, and took her in.

At this time, Wei Shu had almost finished eating. After wiping his mouth, he pushed some eggs and meatballs that he had left specially in front of Wei Xiaoya.

"Nanny, brother is full. You should eat these too. Brother, go and talk to the young master over there. You don't have to worry."

Wei Xiaoya wanted to say no, but Wei Shu had already stood up, so she could only continue to eat hard.

Lou Huai and Zuo Weiyue were now sitting on the right side of a screen in the private room, making tea and warming the charcoal stove placed in the room.

Hearing the footsteps coming from the other side of the screen, he seemed to have guessed something. He picked up the tea that had been brewed and put it on the table, and said softly: "Have you eaten?"

Wei Shu, who looked bookish but had a stooped back, walked around from behind the screen, but did not sit down, but still looked at Lou Huai with a embarrassed expression.

"I've finished my meal. Can you tell me now how you recognized me when I was masked?"

Lou Huai picked up the teapot and poured seven-tenths of it into the teacup, and blew on the hot air floating on it: "First, I see you are bringing your sick and weak sister, and secondly, the thick skin on the thumb and middle finger of your right hand.

Generally, only scholars who use pens all year round will leave such a mark on cocoons."

The young man raised his phoenix eyes, his gaze passed through the white water vapor and landed directly on the cocoon on Wei Shu's right hand.

"And usually scholars who can have such thick calluses can usually achieve something small no matter what they do, and they won't be like you today, still stealing."

Wei Shu's hands clenched when he heard Lou Huai say the word "stealing", and his face became extremely pale.

He did not give any explanation, and his inferiority complex around him was even worse than before. He lowered his head and hid half of his face in the darkness, and said in a hoarse voice: "So, how can you say that I, a mediocre and low-quality person like me, need to

My intelligence?"

Lou Huai did not reply to his words first, but instead talked about Wei Shu's recent failure in the imperial examination twice.

"If I remember correctly, you have been a scholar for a long time. Have you ever thought carefully about why you, who was able to get first-class results back then, failed to pass even a single examination?"

Wei Shu was silent, his temperament still sluggish, and he laughed at himself: "What could be the reason? It's my own talent."

"No." Lou Huai interrupted him and took out a dated examination paper from his sleeve and handed it to him, "Let's take a look at this."

Don’t imitate the behavior of stealing things here. The character was helpless but failed to succeed.
