Book 1: Chapter 13.1: Using The Cuteness To Pass The Check

Fully drunk, the two middle-aged officials left the restaurant together.
“Hey, do you want to go to Drunk Immortal Building?.”
An official greeted:
“In the next few days, we will probably have to go outside the capital. We must take this opportunity to have a good time.”
“But my wife …”
The other official looked a little scared.
“And you’re not going home, is your wife okay with this?”
“Don’t worry, that old hag probably has gone sleep with the child early.”
The official who proposed to go to Hualiu Liuxiang waved indifferently:
“When I left home this morning, I told her we are doing business, do you understand?”
Another official officer seemed to want to go, and he suddenly said to him:
“Then … when my wife asks me, you have to help me.”
“Haha, of course!”
The officer who made the proposal laughed and patted his colleague on the back.
“Tonight we’re going to drink as much as we like!”
There was a smile on both faces that both men understood. While they walked toward the largest brothel in Shangxuan’s capital, an official’s robe was pulled back.
“Who?”
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.
“Two uncles.”
The little boy begged in a somewhat ambiguous language:
“Please give me some food. I’m starving.”
The official who was caught by the corner of the clothes had been drinking a little bit, and for a while, his brain didn’t 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:
“Go away! Where’s the little bastard coming from? it’s so obscure!”
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.
“Wait a minute, don’t leave. Look at this little boy, isn’t it the kind ò child like you said, ‘orphaned kid who was wandering in the streets’?”
“Huh?”
Listening to his colleague’s words, the official who was angry was also paused. He took a sip of wine, blushed, and stared at the little boy danglingly.
“I don’t 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, I’m sure that there are many noble officials who are willing to adopt him as an adopted child or even a plaything.”
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.
“I’m sorry, little boy, this uncle didn’t see it at first. You’re clearly a poor child. Sorry, sorry.”
“Well……”
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.
“Come 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.”
He smiled and reached out to pull the little boy.
“Let’s go, this uncle takes you to the public house, you can eat hot food.”
“Is there something to eat?”
The little boy asked timidly.
“Of course, you’re guaranteed to be full!”
The official smiled and said:
“And warm clothes, soft beds, these are all for you!”
“Is that so? I’ll go with you, uncles.”
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.
“Brother, let’s take him back to the enshrinement and show them to the enshriners.”
“Right, right.”
Another official almost nodded:
“After sending him, we will be happy again.”
The two of them smiled and stretched out one hand, took the little boy’s arms, and walked towards the direction of Xuanguo Temple, but what they didn’t know was that behind them, the little boy also revealed an “All according to the plan” smile.
