Book 1: Chapter 13.1: Using The Cuteness To Pass The Check
\n
Fully drunk, the two middle-aged officials left the restaurant together.
âHey, do you want to go to Drunk Immortal Building?.â
An official greeted:
âIn the next few days, we will probably have to go outside the capital. We must take this opportunity to have a good time.â
âBut my wife âŠâ
The other official looked a little scared.
âAnd youâre not going home, is your wife okay with this?â
âDonât worry, that old hag probably has gone sleep with the child early.â
The official who proposed to go to Hualiu Liuxiang waved indifferently:
âWhen I left home this morning, I told her we are doing business, do you understand?â
Another official officer seemed to want to go, and he suddenly said to him:
âThen ⊠when my wife asks me, you have to help me.â
âHaha, of course!â
The officer who made the proposal laughed and patted his colleague on the back.
âTonight weâre going to drink as much as we like!â
There was a smile on both faces that both men understood. While they walked toward the largest brothel in Shangxuanâs capital, an officialâs robe was pulled back.
âWho?â
They were drunk and a little angry, turning their heads in doubt, but they saw a little boy with dark-eyed eyes, holding a broken bowl in one hand, and the other holding the corners of their clothes together, raising their heads timidly. Watching them.
âTwo uncles.â
The little boy begged in a somewhat ambiguous language:
âPlease give me some food. Iâm starving.â
The official who was caught by the corner of the clothes had been drinking a little bit, and for a while, his brain didnât turn around. When he saw a beggar kid pulling himself and not letting him go to the street, he was furious and suddenly pulled back his clothes, pushing the little boy to the ground, roaring:
âGo away! Whereâs the little bastard coming from? itâs so obscure!â
But another officer seemed to be able to maintain a certain degree of sobriety. He stared at the little boy sitting on the ground with drowsiness in his eyes, and suddenly reached out and held his colleague.
âWait a minute, donât leave. Look at this little boy, isnât it the kind ĂČ child like you said, âorphaned kid who was wandering in the streetsâ?â
âHuh?â
Listening to his colleagueâs words, the official who was angry was also paused. He took a sip of wine, blushed, and stared at the little boy danglingly.
âI donât know. At this look, although this little boy is wearing tattered and patched clothing, his face and hands and feet are all dirty and dusty, but looking at his face and features, he is a very cute boy.
If we let him wash and eat two good meals to supplement the nutrition, Iâm sure that there are many noble officials who are willing to adopt him as an adopted child or even a plaything.â
Endure dizziness and headache, the official shook his head, sobered his head a little, and then looked at his colleagues.
Then he squatted down, struggling to reveal a kind smile while reaching out to the boy on the ground.
âIâm sorry, little boy, this uncle didnât see it at first. Youâre clearly a poor child. Sorry, sorry.â
âWellâŠâŠâ
The little boy stepped on his legs, stepped back timidly on the ground, and looked at them with horrified eyes.
Secretly cursed in his heart, the official continued to smile and his face was about to grin.\nâCome with us. We are the officials of the Shangxuan Kingdom. His Majesty has ordered, in this capital, people must have food and clothes. We will not leave you on the street.â
He smiled and reached out to pull the little boy.
âLetâs go, this uncle takes you to the public house, you can eat hot food.â
âIs there something to eat?â
The little boy asked timidly.
âOf course, youâre guaranteed to be full!â
The official smiled and said:
âAnd warm clothes, soft beds, these are all for you!â
âIs that so? Iâll go with you, uncles.â
As soon as the little boy heard that he would have food to eat and clothes to wear, his eyes flashed, and he reached out and grabbed the big hand full of calluses.
The official stood up with a smile, glared at his colleagues, and they both smiled at the same time.
âBrother, letâs take him back to the enshrinement and show them to the enshriners.â
âRight, right.â
Another official almost nodded:
âAfter sending him, we will be happy again.â
The two of them smiled and stretched out one hand, took the little boyâs arms, and walked towards the direction of Xuanguo Temple, but what they didnât know was that behind them, the little boy also revealed an âAll according to the planâ smile.
