Chapter 1442 Can You Afford to Lose?
After Shi Qi finished speaking, someone beside him immediately echoed.
"At our age in the capital city circle, the most enviable person is Mrs. Cen. You married into the Cen family, and your father-in-law is a big celebrity in front of the emperor, and your husband is also very successful in the court. My grandson, I heard that the Cen family doted on you."
"With such a background, you say that you are still preoccupied with what the child does, let him play if he wants to play, Xuan'er is sensible, what trouble can he cause you?"
"That's right. Besides, it's normal even if there are a few bumps and bumps. How can a baby not stumble when playing together? Could it be that Xuan'er kindly went to play with Nanling King's children, and if their children fell, he would blame him?" Can't it be done on Xuan'er's head? If he really doesn't care about the royal demeanor like this, he will be ridiculous."
Mrs. Cen was surrounded by a group of women who were chattering and chattering, and couldn't even get a word in. In the blink of an eye, the children had already disappeared.
Li Family Tea House.
Knowing that his parents and Miss Li's family must discuss business matters, Croton thought it was too boring to listen to, so he didn't go in at all, and took his younger sister and Qiqi to play at the entrance of the winery.
With Wei Zi and the others watching in the dark, Liu Yusheng and Feng Qingbai did not ask the children to follow.
Their Croton's temperament, even without Wei Zi and the others, basically can't suffer.
"Such a big stone is only as high as my thigh. How can it be carved into such a shape? It's weird and ugly. It's not grand at all." Croton leaned on the little lucky Pixiu at the entrance of the tea house, disgusted Pixiu looks ugly, while happily shaking his legs.
This height is just right, his two short legs can step on the ground, which makes Croton feel tall and mighty.
It's like Daddy sitting on a big high chair, his legs are so long that there is no place to put them.
Red beans jumped up and down on several stone steps, like a happy bird.
The quietest one was still Qi Qi, obediently standing aside and watching the two play, with a slight smile on her face.
There are people coming and going on the street, and customers in the shops are also in an endless stream, and there is a lot of noise everywhere.
The world of the three little children has a different kind of contentment, free from noise and disturbance.
"I guess father and mother will definitely stay in Beicang for a long time this time. In the past few days, I will get to know the capital as soon as possible, and then I will take you to play around the streets."
"But we don't know anyone in the capital." Hong Dou said.
"Didn't people become acquainted from ignorance? Are you afraid that you won't be able to find a playmate with your brother?" Patting Pixiu on the head, Croton was very confident.
Seeing his appearance, Hongdou was even more worried. It was because of her brother that she was afraid.
Where my brother walked before, who saw them and didn't see them as if they were seeing ghosts, avoiding them if they could?
Only the friends from Xinghua Village can play with them, because my brother can't beat them, he's too weak...
"Brother, let's just play as three of us—"
Hongdou felt that they would be annoyed if they couldn't go anywhere, so they kept a low profile if they could.
Be low-key, this is what my mother often said.
It's a pity that she wanted to let him go, but he insisted on rushing in front of them, insisting on letting her brother see.
It's not like she didn't finish her sentence, so four, five or six children came running from across the street and jumped in front of them.
"Hahaha, bumpkin, you are actually playing with stone carvings in front of someone's shop." The boy in the lead, about seven or eight years old, half a head taller than Croton, pointed at Croton lying on Pixiu and laughed at him as soon as he came over.
Croton squinted, "I'm a bumpkin when I play stone sculptures, you don't even dare to play stone sculptures, what is it?"
The boy's face turned red, and he said angrily, "Who says I dare not play, I don't care to play! Only those who have never seen the world play this kind of thing!"
"Hearing you say that, you must have seen a lot of worlds?" Croton asked.
"of course!"
"Then what do you usually play?"
This kind of dialogue was very familiar to Hongdou and Qiqi, they had heard many similar versions.
The two little heads shook together, sighed, walked to a place a little far away, and turned their heads away.
Can't bear to watch.
"We know how to play a lot!" The boy jumped on the hook in an instant, puffed up his chest and began to brag about the things he had played, "Cuju, sword fighting, fist fighting, archery..."
The person who talked excitedly didn't realize that every time he said something, the little doll's eyes on Pixiu would light up.
The capitals of big countries are really different. The children of rich and noble families have to learn rituals, music, riding and archery since they were young. When the wives in the back house compare each other to show off their grandchildren, what makes the children compare with each other is this kind of formality. s things.
"There are indeed quite a lot, why don't you take me, a country bumpkin, to play?"
"Why should I bring you a country bumpkin to play? You have no knowledge at all!" The boy laughed.
"I don't know much, and you don't dare to play with me. If I know more, you will have to pee your pants immediately when you see me."
One sentence made the boy angry. After all, he is a king of children. How can he be looked down upon in front of his playmates, saying that he dare not play?
"Take it with you, and see who pees in the last!"
Croton trembled and stood up, "I see that your clothes are not bad, you are all from rich families, right? I heard that the sons and daughters of rich families are as delicate as women, crying and complaining every now and then. Let me ask first, if I play better than you, can you afford to lose?"
Another sentence stabbed a hornet's nest.
"You choose the place! If you don't let you go away crying today, I won't be called Lou Xuan!"
"Missed? What a strange name."
"..."
A group of rich young men immediately showed the way and took Croton to the empty alley behind the teahouse.
There are few people there, they can avoid the eyeliner, and they won't be easily disturbed by others. Later, they will let this bumpkin who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth understand what it means to speak loudly and what it means to have a sky beyond the sky!
"Qiqi, let's just watch from the side, don't go up and fight, if brother can't hold on, I'll call daddy, and you run away with brother." Hongdou led Qiqi and followed behind, carefully admonishing her.
Qi Qi nodded.
"That's right here, tell me what you want to play, we will accompany you, whoever cries is a pig!"
The sound of challenge sounded, and Waerdou kicked off in this alley.
In the box on the third floor of the teahouse, by the window, the man quietly watched the scene with his long and narrow eyes, then turned his gaze as if nothing had happened, and continued to chat and laugh happily with the people in the box.
Liu Yusheng was sitting in the back, so she didn't see them. They just sat upstairs for a while, and her son "found" a group of playmates.
"The business of Li's tea house is also good. When I came in, I saw many people carrying many cans of tea leaves. There should be no other tea houses on the opposite side." Liu Yusheng pointed his chin to the opposite side, " What's going on over there?"
