Chapter 377

Xiao Baocheng quickly asked Xiao Tieshu to pass the dishes to the back kitchen.

Xiao Tieshu wondered for a moment, but he still listened to Xiao Baocheng.

At the back kitchen, Xiao Tieshu said to Wang Mudan, "Bao has made some good friends. Those friends don't seem to be good people. They look very dandy."

Wang Mudan listened and went out to have a look.

When seeing that the CHILDES were all dressed up beautifully, Wang Mudan said, "Alas, it's just better dressed. What's the matter? Baochengdu has been in Beijing for several months. It's nothing to make some friends. Maybe those friends can help Baocheng. Besides, how old Baocheng is, where can we manage to make some friends?"

After listening, Xiao Tieshu had to keep silent and only asked Wang Mudan to send out some of the signature dishes in the store.

……

After the children in the capital had enough to eat and drink, they praised the food in their store with Xiao Baocheng, but they didn't mean to give money.

Xiao Baocheng was a little depressed. He ate three liang of silver.

But he was embarrassed to ask. He approached them, played with them and asked them to give money. He had to comfort himself: they are used to big hands and feet, so he can't be too stingy. It's only three Liang silver. It's better to treat him.

So he smiled and said to the CHILDES, "brothers, this meal today... Even if it's for the younger brother, I won't charge any money today."

As soon as he finished, the CHILDES looked at him curiously and said:

"Why, do you still want money?"

"I didn't eat anything, just a few bowls of noodles, a few cakes and a jar of wine."

"If you count all this silver with us, will we come next time?"

"I said, he doesn't look like the brother of a general. How can a general's brother be so stingy?"

“……”

Xiao Baocheng was scolded for a while. He felt inferior and ashamed. He just wanted to be generous. Why did he become a cheapskate?

One of the CHILDES took out three liang of silver from his arms and put it on the table. He was very unhappy and said to Xiao Baocheng, "this is your money. Take it to the bill."

Xiao Baocheng hurriedly said, "no, no, brother, please put it away. I won't charge you here."

"Here you are. Just keep it. Your shop is not a big restaurant, it's just a small business."

But Xiao Baocheng said he wouldn't accept anything and tried hard to return the silver. They almost had a physical conflict. The childe saw that Xiao Baocheng looked like a stubborn cow, so he had to take the silver back.

“……”

This scene was seen by Xiao Tieshu and Xiao Tongshu. They didn't dare to come forward. They just thought Xiao Baocheng's behavior was too abnormal.

When did Baocheng know these people and how did he become generous?

Several childe brothers saw that Xiao Baocheng was a little stubborn and old-fashioned, but they knew that Xiao Baocheng really wanted to make friends with them, so they said to Xiao Baocheng: "later, my brothers are going to other places. Do you want to follow? It's good to see the world."

Xiao Baocheng heard that some of their noble CHILDES were willing to take him to play. He quickly nodded, "OK, I'll go with you."

"Then hurry!" One of your CHILDES said.

Seeing that Xiao Baocheng was about to go out with him, Xiao Tieshu quickly shouted to him, "Baocheng, where are you going?"

"Dad, I'll be right back without delay." Xiao Baocheng said, so he followed the childe brothers.

Xiao Tieshu chased the door and saw that they had got into a carriage and went to the east of the city.

He always felt uneasy, so he went back to tell Wang Mudan about it.

But Wang Mudan still looked indifferent: "Alas, when a child is old, he will naturally have his world. Why do we two old people worry so much? He is new to the capital and is not familiar with his place of life. It's good for someone to take him to play."

"But ye said, don't let us contact those childe brothers in the capital..." Xiao Tieshu said.

Wang Mudan disdained to say, "let's listen to Ye's words. It's impossible not to contact. She won't let us contact, but she hasn't told Baozhu a best marriage? Let's let it go."

Xiao Tieshu didn't know what to say, but said, "Alas, it's all right. Let's take one step at a time."

……

Xiao Baocheng followed the childe brothers to the east of the city. The carriage went through a few streets to a place called "red sleeve workshop".

After getting out of the car, several childe brothers swaggered inside, but Xiao Baocheng was glittering and shrinking.

He had never been to these places. He envied these people for going in so generously. He was very worried that he had no money to spend.

As soon as the childe went in, a woman came out to meet him and smiled very sweetly: "Oh, how many masters are coming? Do you want to see song and dance today? Or do you want to play something else?"

One of the Duke's sons said, "it's still early. Let's arrange a dance first. We'll see Yilan dance."

"Coincidentally, Yilan is here today. I'll call her out right away."

The CHILDES all sat in front of a round table, facing the front stage.

The stage was beautifully arranged, with all kinds of red and green gauze curtains, and people were hazy inside.

After a while, several women came out, some holding pipa, some holding erhu and some holding zither. After coming out, several women danced. At first, they danced normally, but they took off their clothes. After a while, they took off a gauze, which was looming.

Xiao Baocheng blushed and became a monkey's ass when he saw such a scene for the first time.

However, he saw that the other women were not panic, so he had to pretend to be calm.

After dancing, the women came out of the gauze tent. Then everyone chose a childe, and then chose the childe's arms. Jiao didi said, "childe, let me serve you."

Xiao Baocheng also had a girl named Xiao Hong in his arms.

As soon as Xiao Hong leaned against him, he bounced out as if he had been struck by thunder: "girl, no, no!"

His move made the people nearby burst into laughter.

The girls laughed at him: "new here, I haven't seen it before."

The childe laughed at him: "he probably hasn't touched a woman yet? Alas, the people from the general's family are so old-fashioned."

"General, which general?" Someone asked.

"His name is Xiao Baocheng. Which general do you think he is?"

"A top general? Xiao Baoshan?"

"Exactly!"

It is said that he is from xiaobaoshan family, and the people don't laugh at him anymore.

The procuress also comforted him: "little childe, this kind of thing, one rebirth and two rebirth, come several times more and you'll know how to play."

Xiao Baocheng was ashamed and ashamed. He had just overreacted.

Afraid of being laughed at secretly, he had to let Xiao Hong lean against him.

Then, he watched how others played, he played, he didn't play, and Xiao Hong would tease him.

In this way, confused, he was taken away by Xiao Hong for the first time.

This time he didn't pay the money, and the CHILDES helped him settle the money.

……

Xiao Baocheng came home the next morning with the smell of wine and some fragrant powder on his clothes.

The family asked him where he had gone. He said, just play with some CHILDES.

Xiao Tieshu was angry: "you can play all night. Where did you go?"

Seeing that Xiao Tieshu looked fierce, Wang Mudan quickly protected Xiao Baocheng behind him: "Oh, what are you doing to him? Listen to him first. Baocheng has always been a good boy. He has a sense of propriety."

"Well, he said."

Xiao Baocheng said: "I went... Alas, I didn't want to go anyway. It was the idea of those CHILDES. They said that all the noble children in the capital went there to play. You can get to know a lot of people there. Dad, do you know who played with me yesterday? Their fathers are in the household department, in the Imperial Academy, and hereditary officials. If there is anything in our family in the future, we don't worry about no one to help 。”

Xiao Tieshu thought it was wrong: "dignitaries and aristocratic family children don't all go to play until midnight?"

"Dad, that's how people play. If you don't play like this, you can't get together with them."

"No, you can't go to that place again." Xiao Tieshu has been worried about causing trouble for Xiao Baoshan family.

Xiao Baocheng naturally quit.

It was fun last night. Xiao Hong amused him very much, and no one asked him for money. He came for nothing.

Wang Mudan heard that all the people playing with Xiao Baocheng were the childe of the aristocratic family. She protected Xiao Baocheng: "Baocheng, go wash your face first and have a sleep. You don't have to go to the counter today. You can keep an account in the afternoon."

Xiao Baocheng hurried away.

Xiao Tieshu was very unhappy: "just protect him. He will have an accident sooner or later."

"What can happen? I just made a few friends. Baocheng also said that those friends are dignitaries and dignitaries. In the future, Baocheng will mix in the capital. There is nothing wrong with knowing these people. First, we can see the world. Second, we can have more ways in the future."

"Have you forgotten what ye told us? Let's do business safely."

"YeYe, what do you always mention about her? Yes, she has helped us a lot and hopes we won't get into trouble, but she can't help us all our life. After all, we have to find another way to be more developed."

"..." this sentence made Xiao Tieshu speechless.

Originally, Xiao Tieshu listened to Ye's words very much, but his wife was right. It's not bad for the child to see the world more in the capital in the future.

It's just a blessing or a curse. You have to go on to know.

……

Two days later, it is the Mid Autumn Festival.

The night before the Mid Autumn Festival, ye Xiaoxian sent someone to inform Xiao Tieshu and Xiao Tongshu that she wanted to invite them to the teahouse for tea and the theater.

Therefore, on that day, Xiao Tieshu's Restaurant closed early, and the two families went to the teahouse happily.

Ye Xiaoxian specially wrapped up half the venue so that the Xiao family could see more clearly.
