This woman looks to be in her thirties, with an average figure and even mediocre looks.

Xu Qi'an has seen many beauties of the same age, such as Concubine Chen; such as the Queen; such as his aunt. In terms of appearance and figure, everyone would scorn this woman.

But she has a drive that these beautiful women don't have.

Coquettish... Yes, it is this kind of coquettish and willful.

It is rare for this kind of temperament to appear in an old aunt.

Xu Qian knew it well, but refused to admit it: "What purse?"

"The light green purse contains twenty taels of gold." The woman pressed her hands on the table, looked down at Xu Qian, gritted her teeth and said, "Give it back to me."

Yellow, gold?! Xu Qian's heart was pounding, but he remained calm on the surface, even confused: "Auntie, you lost your wallet, what does it have to do with me?"

"Auntie!?" she screamed.

The aunt's face was red with anger, and her ears were red. She opened her eyes wide and stared at Xu Qi'an angrily.

What's going on with this reaction? Don't you know how old you are? Xu Qian waved her hand and sent her away: "I didn't pick up your purse, so get out of here."

The woman took a deep breath, looked back and shouted: "Come here!"

At the top of the stairs, a child's face was revealed. It was the child who was scared away by Xu Qi'an just now, and the child who witnessed him picking up his purse.

"That's him. He picked up the purse and threatened me." The child pointed at Xu Qian and said loudly.

The drinkers around him all looked sideways, and the charming woman also looked over and watched the show with a smile.

"Child, come here." Xu Qian waved.

The child shook his head and stared at Xu Qian warily.

Xu Qian took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and flicked it with his finger. After the silver fell to the ground, it rolled in front of the child. He smiled and said:

"Say it again, I didn't hear you clearly just now."

The child picked up the broken silver with a smile on his face and said loudly: "I didn't see anything, I don't know anything."

Xu Qian laughed loudly and said, "Go buy some candied haws."

The child came downstairs happily.

The two gongs laughed and looked at the mediocre woman in a joking manner.

The surrounding drinkers also looked away, not interested in watching anymore, and continued to pay attention to the battle on the ring.

Even a newbie who came to the capital for the first time knew that the watchman was a local snake in the capital and should not be messed with. This woman looked like she had long hair and had no idea how powerful the watchman was.

Not to mention picking up your purse, just dragging you to the box to get lucky. If you don't have a backing, there's nothing you can do.

The woman stared at Xu Qi'an for a moment, then suddenly smiled, something indescribably charming.

She sat down generously, picked up Xu Qi'an's unused bowls and chopsticks, and started eating as if no one else was watching. She seemed to be really hungry, and started eating a little anxiously. After filling her stomach, her eating posture immediately became elegant.

After she drank a small glass of wine, she looked at Xu Qi'an and sneered: "Hey, didn't this lady tie up the little girl and take her to the Yamen?"

Xu Qi'an responded calmly: "Auntie, it's just a few mouthfuls of food, nothing serious."

The woman guessed that she was hungry at meal time, so when she felt that her purse was missing, she searched for it along the same route and found him.

Aunt... She gritted her teeth again.

"Hmph, I'd say he is a well-bred youngster who rests on the merits of his elders. Otherwise, how could he become a silver gong at such a young age?" A young hero next to him lowered his voice and said bitterly.

The woman, who was about the same age as her aunt, glanced at Xu Qi'an provocatively upon hearing this.

"That's right, if you're greedy for an aunt's purse, you know it's not a good thing." Another young hero said in a low voice.

When the woman heard this, she said expressionlessly: "You are just a silver gong after all. Aren't you angry when others slander and comment behind your back?"

This woman is quite petty... Xu Qian asked with a smile: "What do you think we should do."

The woman said angrily: "Send them all to the jail."

This was heard by the young heroes at the next table, but they did not raise any objections and kept silent. After all, they still did not dare to offend the watchman.

"This is too much. They are just talking nonsense." After Xu Qi'an finished speaking, he added: "You look so poor and you can't squeeze out a few taels of money. It's a waste of energy."

The young heroes dare not speak out when they are angry.

The woman stopped talking to Xu Qi'an and sipped wine and food while watching the martial arts fight in the ring with great interest.

The reason why Xu Qi'an didn't drive away this interesting aunt was because she felt that she was not as ordinary as she seemed.

Let me reiterate, her appearance is indeed very ordinary, she does not have a plump and attractive figure, and she does not have a charming appearance.

But her status should be extraordinary. Normal people would not take so much money out. It would be only half a catty, and twenty taels would be more than a pound.

It's not heavy, even a child can bear this meager weight, but twenty taels of silver is equivalent to a year's savings for an ordinary family.

If it were gold, it would be an unimaginable sum of money.

And this aunt was wearing the clothes of an ordinary woman, but her hair was black and beautiful, tied up with a wooden hairpin. To use Xu Qi'an's words from a previous life to describe:

A hundred dollars is not enough to sell goods all over the place.

However, for such an ordinary aunt, she just pinched her waist and stared at the black-hearted watcher who picked up the huge sum of money she had lost. She was even more annoyed by Xu Qi'an for picking up the things and not returning them, than for losing the huge sum of money.

Is this the magnanimity that ordinary people can have?

Twenty taels of silver, if it were Xu Qi'an himself, he would have already risked his life with the guy who took the money and refused to pay it back.

If it's twenty taels of gold, well, Jack Ma has already called the police.

"Sir, can this little lady accompany you for a few drinks?"

At this time, the slutty and seductive woman came over with a wine glass in her hand, a smug look on her face, and her waist twisted.

Only then did Xu Qian realize that she was wearing a long skirt with a waistband, and a ribbon outlined her slim waist. This figure, wow...

He subconsciously glanced at the aunt next to him. She was wearing very conservative clothing, a thick cloth, and at her age, her figure might not be much better.

"sure."

Xu Qi'an quickly motioned for the beauty to take a seat, but the problem came. All four stools were occupied. The charming woman with beautiful almond eyes looked left and right, unwilling to take a seat.

She didn't dare to offend the two gongs, so she looked at the woman with soft eyes and chuckled: "This aunt..."

The aunt suddenly turned around and stared at the enchanting woman with a very aggressive gaze. But after looking up and down, the aunt in her thirties actually let out a disdainful "ha" and turned back to continue watching the competition.

What was her look just now? Her eyes were full of contempt and disdain... The enchanting woman narrowed her eyes. This was the first time a woman looked at her with such eyes.

In the past, wherever she went, she was the focus of men's attention.

In the eyes of men, her every move is alluring, captivating, and bloody.

And women admire her, are jealous of her, and slander her.

But the look in this elderly aunt's eyes just now was pure disdain.

Xu Qian glanced at Tongluo on the left. Tongluo was very sensible. He immediately picked up his sword and said respectfully: "My lord, I have gone to patrol the streets."

Xu Qian said "hmm" and made a gesture of invitation with a smile: "Xia Xia, please sit down."

The enchanting woman smiled sweetly and sat down holding her skirt.

She has been observing Xu Qian for a long time. This man is a good prey. First of all, he has a handsome appearance, his facial features are as delicate as sculptures, and his eyes are as bright as stars.

The high nose bridge and thick black eyebrows, combined with the strong facial contours, give off a masculine air.

In addition, what worries her even more is Xu Qi'an Yin Luo's identity. He reached this position at such a young age because he was either too talented or had elders in his family who held real power.

No matter which one, they are worthy of her friendship and closeness.

"I haven't asked you your surname yet."

"Xu Qi'an...what's your name?"

"Rong Rong."

Miss Rongrong, do you have a brand name...Xu Qian said with a smile: "What a good name, a name like a fairy, paired with a person like a fairy."

Miss Rongrong covered her mouth and smiled sweetly, and added: "The slave family also has a title, called the Ecstasy Hand."

Xu Qi'an put down his wine glass and looked at Miss Rongrong repeatedly. The latter was stared at nakedly by him and didn't care. Instead, she straightened her chest.

"I have long admired my great name."

Xu Qian'an asked, "Is this my luck?" I just heard from my second uncle in the morning about the four most beautiful heroines in the capital, and we met them at noon.

"Ahem!"

He put down his wine glass and introduced himself: "It turns out to be Miss Ecstasy Rongrong. Let's get to know each other again. My officer is Xu Qian. My uncle is on duty at the Imperial Sword Guard."

When Ecstasy Hand Rongrong heard this, she felt a little disappointed.

Although Yu Dao Wei is one of the five guards in the capital, his power is determined by his position, and he is not considered a prominent yamen.

But Xu Qian's next words made Miss Rongrong change her mind.

"Back then, I followed Wei Gong and made many meritorious deeds in the Battle of Shanhaiguan. It was precisely because of this relationship that I was able to find an official position in the Dagongren Yamen.

"Prince Yu is my uncle, and I have a close relationship with my father. My father was an earl. Unfortunately, he left early and failed to obtain the qualifications for hereditary succession. When he came to my place, there was only a little viscount left."
