Chapter 576: Making Friends with a Financial Sponsor (Part 3)



She touched the heads of the three little guys and asked, "Are you tired?"

The three of them shook their heads.

Wei Ting snorted, "How can a child know what tiredness is?"

Especially the three at home, they were full of energy and jumped around in the carriage.

"Mom, I want to drink some water." said Dahu.

The biggest feeling Su Xiaoxiao had when she came to the Western Jin Dynasty was the dryness. If she didn't drink enough water during the day, her throat would be dry and sore when she woke up the next day.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the three people's dry mouths, took the water bag, shook it, and said, "Drink it up."

Wei Ting lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at the long queue at the city gate, and then looked at the tea stalls on both sides of the road: "Let's go sit in the tea stall for a while."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "Okay."

The family of five got off the carriage, and Xing'er also got off the carriage at the back.

Su Xiaoxiao finally understood why there were so many maids in the mansion, but Old Madam Wei asked her to bring the youngest one with her. Xing'er was in good health and was fine even after the tiring journey.

Fusu and Afu drove their carriage to queue up.

A few of them chose a tea stall with few customers. Although it required a few more steps, it was quieter.

Xing'er wiped the stool.

The three little ones sat on one bench, Wei Ting, Su Xiaoxiao and Xing'er each sat on a bench.

The waiter from the teahouse came over and asked with a smile, "What would you like to order, sir?"

"Two pots of tea first." Su Xiaoxiao said, "One pot of brewed tea leaves, and one pot of warm water."

Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting's appearance and clothing did not look like ordinary people. They were obviously wealthy people. The waiter was very warm and not only brought them tea, but also two plates of pickles.

The three little ones gulped down two large cups and finally felt better.

"You drink too." Su Xiaoxiao said to Xing'er.

"Yeah." Xing'er agreed and poured tea for Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting first.

She was a maid and was supposed to serve the young lady, but along the way, the young lady also took care of her a lot.

Xiao Hu pointed at the steamer on the stove and said, "I'm hungry. I want to eat some steamed buns."

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and asked Dahu and Erhu, "Do you want to eat too?"

The two nodded.

Su Xiaoxiao ordered two baskets of steamed buns and asked if there were any side dishes.

The waiter smiled and said, "Yes, yes! Do you want meat or vegetables?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "I want both."

The waiter introduced: "Our braised meat is very good, how about giving some to you guys?"

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "Two pounds, please."

The waiter was startled: "Two, two, two pounds?"

Is this edible?

Su Xiaoxiao added: "Fry two more side dishes."

The waiter smiled and said, "Please wait a moment, sir. I'll be right there!"

The buns come the fastest.

Wei Ting wasn't very hungry, so let them eat first.

"I will fetch some water first."

Xing'er picked up the four water bags on the table and went to the stove to get some cold water.

Su Xiaoxiao washed the hands of the three kids and gave each of them a big meat bun. The three of them held the meat buns in both hands and started to eat them with grunts.

"Boss! Give me two baskets of buns!"

Accompanied by a cheerful voice, a young man sat down at the table slightly outside next to them.

He wore a golden belt with golden tassels, and the crown and hairpin on his head were also jade inlaid with gold. The only thing missing from this man's face was that he looked wealthy.

Perhaps because he looked too rich, an old beggar woman came over with a cane and handed him a broken porcelain bowl: "Uncle, give me something to eat. My child is starving to death."

The servant at the side shouted, "What are you doing? Don't touch my Second Master with your dirty hands! Get out of the way!"

The old woman didn't give way, she tried harder to push the bowl forward.

Seeing that his master's sleeve was about to be touched, the servant could no longer bear it and pushed him.

"Ouch——" She screamed and fell to the ground.

The young man stood up quickly, frowned at her and said, "Are you okay, old lady?"

He turned his head and glared at the servant, "What happened?"

The boy muttered, "I didn't use much strength..."

Passersby couldn't stand it.

"The old man is still begging at his age. It's fine if you don't want to give alms, but you're pushing him? Do you have any conscience?"

"That's right! Aren't you afraid of causing a death?"

"You wear gold and silver, but you can't even eat a bite of food. What a profiteer!"

"Hey - who are you scolding?" The servant was unhappy and walked towards the passers-by.

"Enough! Stop making trouble!" The young man stopped the servant, squatted down, helped the old woman up himself, and took out two big gold ingots from his arms and handed them to her.

"My servant is ignorant and has caused the old man to suffer. Take this little money back to buy some food for your family, and use the rest to go to the clinic to buy a plaster for bruises."

Su Xiaoxiao took a bite of the bun.

He spent two gold ingots at once, how generous.

"Thank you very much, sir. Thank you very much, sir! Thank you very much, sir!"

The old woman took the silver and wanted to kowtow to the young man, but was stopped by the young man.

The old woman left with the silver. At this time, Xing'er came back with a full water bag. The old woman limped and accidentally bumped into Xing'er.

"I'm sorry, girl, I'm sorry!"

She apologized profusely.

"It's okay." Xing'er shook her head.

The old woman smiled awkwardly and walked away with her cane.

"Wait." Su Xiaoxiao stopped her.

The old woman either didn't hear me or didn't know I was calling her, so she didn't stop.

Su Xiaoxiao casually pulled a chopstick from the bamboo tube on the table, waved two fingers, and hit the other person's knee.

The man's knees gave way and he fell flat on his face! Passersby started talking again.

"Oh my! Why is this person like this? He even bullies the elderly?"

"Who is it?"

"It seems to be from that table! The one... the one with the three kids!"

"You are a person who has children, but you bully the elderly like this. You have absolutely no conscience!"

The old woman was about to cry out.

Xing Er suddenly touched her waist and screamed, "My purse is gone! It was there just now! I even felt it when I was fetching water!"

She quickly thought of the mother-in-law, and then when she saw her young lady beating her down, she suddenly understood.

She turned and looked at the old woman on the ground: "Did you steal my purse?"

The old woman's eyes flashed, she stood up and ran away!

Everyone was stunned. How could this be a lame old lady? She was clearly running faster than them, okay? Su Xiaoxiao threw another chopstick at her, this time with a little force, and directly numbed her leg.

She fell heavily to the ground, and the purse in her arms flew out.

The servant looked at the bag of money and the golden token on the ground and shouted, "Second Master! These are yours!"

The young man also hurriedly searched his pockets, and sure enough, the token and purse were gone.

"It turns out to be a thief!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the thief didn't bother to pick up the treasure on the ground. He gritted his teeth, got up, turned back to glare at Su Xiaoxiao, and ran away with a limp.

The young man asked the servant to pick up the things on the ground. He took back his own and took the remaining purses and money bags to Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao with the servant. "Excuse me, which money bag did you lose?"

Su Xiaoxiao remained calm: "All of them."

youth:"……"

Servants: “…”

The young man gave all the money bags that obviously came from different owners to Su Xiaoxiao.

He said politely, "Thank you so much for what you said just now, young lady. You are going to the city soon, right? From your accent, I don't think you are a local. Where in Xidu are you going? I am very familiar with Xidu, I can take you there."

Su Xiaoxiao looked him over and said, "The Princess's Mansion."

The young man was startled: "Young lady is going to the Princess's residence? Something happened in the Princess's residence, don't you know?"

Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting exchanged glances.

"What happened?" Wei Ting asked.

The young man sighed, "The princess is practicing the art of aversion in the mansion. The entire mansion has been confined."

Xiao Xiao: You came at the right time
