Chapter 45 It's a pity that he's so young and a widower
The waiter realized that he had said something wrong and said hurriedly, "I was wondering if you, Mr. Li, are so young and handsome, and you don't look like a father."
Xiao Moqing originally thought that the waiter was quite inconsiderate, but after hearing him say that he was young and handsome, his anger obviously dissipated a lot.
You are a good talker!
"Why did the waiter call you Mr. Li? When did you change your last name?" The four of them entered the private room one after another. After the waiter left, Xiao Chunyuan asked.
Xiao Moqing replied, "Our identities are so special, how can we use our real names? When walking in the world, we have to use a fake name. My fake name is Li Yingjun. Doesn't it sound very handsome and intimidating?"
The three little brats: "..."
It's really intimidating!
After Xiao Moqing took the three little brats to eat the antique soup, he took them to the east of the city for a snack.
Wanwan felt that her mouth never stopped eating all day.
She had to say that her second brother was really a foodie!
After the four of them had eaten and drunk their fill, Xiao Moqing took the three little brats to stroll around the nearby shops, under the pretext of taking them to digest their food.
But he was careless for a moment. After all, they were little girls, and they couldn't walk when they saw the rouge and powder shop.
The fifth princess Xiao Chunyuan took the sixth princess Xiao Jiaxi to the shop where rouge and powder were placed. Wanwan, who was following behind them, also found it strange. Just as she was about to step out with her short legs to catch up, she was grabbed by the collar by the second prince standing behind her.
Xiao Moqing lowered his eyelids and looked at her, "Little brat, how old are you? Why are you putting on rouge? Come on, second brother will take you to sit over there."
Her second brother was obviously also a frequent customer here. When the proprietress saw him, her eyes immediately lit up and she hurried over to greet him.
"Mr. Li, you are here. Come in quickly. Our store has just received some new materials. I'll show them to you later." After the proprietress finished speaking, she looked at the little girl next to the man, her eyes lit up, "Oh, Mr. Li, this is your daughter. She is so cute and looks like you."
Xiao Moqing: "..."
"Where is the child's mother?" The proprietress looked behind the two, one big and one small, and asked with a smile, "Didn't your wife come with you?"
Xiao Moqing almost laughed out of anger when he heard what the proprietress said. What a wife, your wife! He hasn't even gotten married yet, but he already has a three-year-old baby.
Xiao Moqing was too lazy to argue with this tactless proprietress, and directly replied to her: "The child's mother is dead!"
After hearing this, the expression on the proprietress's face suddenly became very embarrassed. After a long while, the proprietress finally spoke: "Mr. Li, you...you must accept my condolences."
Xiao Moqing had only said those words in anger, but he didn't expect that the proprietress actually believed it, and before leaving, she whispered: "It's a pity that he is so young and is a widower."
(Widower: refers to a man who has lost his wife)
Xiao Moqing: "..."
Wanwan, who was eating maltose at the side, couldn't help laughing out loud when she heard what the proprietress muttered.
"Little brat, what are you laughing at?" Xiao Moqing pinched her bun with dissatisfaction, "Eat your maltose."
Wanwan ate maltose while glancing at the angry second brother.
[Humph, since you took me to eat so many delicious foods today, I won't argue with you]
[You have such a bad temper, be careful that you won't be able to find a wife in the future]
Listening to the little brat's thoughts, Xiao Moqing reached out and pinched her bun again.
Little brat, even maltose can't stop you.
He is so handsome and unrestrained, I don't know how many young ladies from aristocratic families admire him, how could he not find a wife.
[Suddenly I remembered that the second prince really didn't have a wife, because he was only concerned with fighting for power with the prince, so he had no time for romance. I remember that he turned completely evil after returning to Beijing with a broken arm while fighting bandits in Liaozhou. He died without a wife, so miserable.]
Xiao Moqing: "..."
Wanwan thought of the tragic ending of the second prince Xiao Moqing in the original text, and she stared at the half-eaten maltose in her hand.
Although the Liaozhou bandit fight was handled by the prince brother at the palace banquet, it was hard to guarantee that her second prince still cared about it.
Wanwan thought for a moment and said to him, "Second brother, I dreamed of you yesterday."
"Huh?"
Wanwan said seriously, "I dreamed that you seemed to be going somewhere to fight bandits because there was a traitor around you, and the traitor made you bleed a lot. I don't know why I dreamed of these, but I think I still have to believe everything. Don't go far away recently, just stay in the capital."
Listening to the little brat's words, Xiao Moqing was quite moved.
This little brat didn't eat this thing in vain today, and he was actually worried about him.
Wanwan saw that the man didn't say anything, thinking that he didn't believe it, and was thinking about what to say in her mind to make her second brother think that he would die as soon as he left the capital.
Wanwan felt her head suddenly feel heavy. When she looked up, she saw her second brother rubbing his head and said with a smile, "I know, I'll pay attention to it."
It was the first time that Wanwan saw her second brother smiling so gently.
[From this point of view, the second brother looks decent, quite... handsome]
Hearing the little brat actually praising her, Xiao Moqing's eyes lit up and rubbed her head.
Little brat, you finally found out how handsome your brother is!
"Miss Tang, the piece of material you liked half a month ago, your sister came to pay the full amount on the day you paid the deposit, and asked us to make the clothes according to her size. We thought you knew about this."
"You didn't send anyone to inform our lady, how could our lady know?"
There was a sudden noise from the side.
Xiao Moqing looked up at the source of the voice, and saw a slender figure.
The shopkeeper said, "That day, Miss Tang came to pay the full amount. You are a family, and we thought you knew about this." The servant
A Sui said in a very dissatisfied tone, "What does Miss Tang's paying the full amount have to do with our eldest lady? That piece of cloth was obviously chosen by our young lady, how could she steal our young lady's things!"
Because my servant Ah Sui was angry, her voice became a little loud. When people heard her voice, they all looked over.
Noticing the heated gazes of the people around, the eldest daughter of the Tang family who was standing aside said to A Sui: "Forget it, A Sui, the shopkeeper didn't mean it."
"Miss, the second lady has done this several times. The fabric is obviously yours. How could she do this? If she snatches it now, what will you wear to the banquet in a few days?"
"There will always be a way." Tang Qingge looked at the shopkeeper beside her and said, "Since Qinghuan has already paid all the money, I wonder if the shopkeeper can return my previous deposit to me?"
The shopkeeper: "Of course, Miss Tang, please wait a moment, I'll get it for you."
"Thank you, shopkeeper."
Seeing that it was the eldest daughter of the Tang family, some people present had already whispered: "No matter what, the Tang family is a famous family. Why does Miss Tang look so shabby?"
"You don't know this, right? The Tang family is indeed a famous family. When General Tang was alive, the Tang family was so glorious. But after General Tang and his wife passed away, the Tang family began to decline, and the concubine was in charge.
Poor Miss Tang, she was bullied by the concubine and her daughter all day long. I heard that since the beginning of the year, Miss Tang's monthly salary has been stopped, and she found a job copying books in a bookstore."
