Chapter 10: The Corner Behind the Gorgeous

Xie Xuan and the others returned to Fancheng, the city was still lively, and Sima Mo's two subordinates couldn't catch up with Sima Mo, so they simply waited for him by the North Pole Gate. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info saw that he was back, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, in case he lost the young master, he had to kill himself when he went back. But look at it again, why is the young master with the two beggars just now? Seeing Sima Mo waving at them, he hurriedly walked over and followed the three of them, he was a subordinate, although he didn't understand what happened just now, but he couldn't ask.

Sima Mo asked Xie Xuan that the best restaurant in this Fancheng was the Zhuangyuan Building in the central area, so everyone decided to eat there. This decision made Jin Ruiwan very happy, he was a rich young master, how could he be destroyed by a group of thieves, followed Xie Xuan everywhere, and finally arrived in Fancheng, thinking that he finally had a place to stay, but he found that the biggest problem was that he was penniless, so he and Xie Xuan asked for food on the street, and they couldn't eat every day, and lived a life without a meal.

Not long after, everyone arrived at the door of the champion building, and Xiao Er at the door saw Sima Mo enthusiastically trotting all the way to him, nodding his head.

"Guest officer, are you here, how many are you?

"Little Er, there are five of us, we're hungry, let's have something to eat. Sima Mo looked at Xiao Er and smiled.

When the shopkeeper heard that it was five people, he looked behind Sima Mo, and suddenly found Xie Xuan and Jin Ruiwan, the flattery on his face immediately disappeared, and he covered his nose and said, "Where did this beggar come from? I haven't taken a bath for a few years and stinks to death! Get out of here!"

Sima Mo unhurriedly took out ten taels of silver and put it in front of the shopkeeper and said, "They were invited by me, if you think they smell too much, open a private room for us, and we won't affect others." “

The shopkeeper looked at the silver in front of him and nodded distractedly, thinking that this is really a rich man, people give a reward of a few pennies, and this boy brother will give ten taels of silver! You can go to Xiaocui to play again tonight! Thinking about it, he hurriedly put away the silver and shouted inside: "The five VIPs are sharp, and the private room is waiting!"

Xie Xuan and the others entered the restaurant, and there was a commotion in the lobby, and they all covered their noses and looked at them. They were also embarrassed to stay, and hurriedly went up to the private room on the second floor, and after a while, another shopkeeper walked in, looked at Xie Xuan and Jin Ruiwan, and said impatiently

"What are you going to eat?"

"Xiao Er, give me all the dishes in your store, and then I will have five catties of the best daughter red. Sima Mo looked at Xiao Er and smiled.

"What, what!?" The shopkeeper was looking at Xie Xuan and the others, and Sima Mo didn't react for a while when he said this.

"Can't you hear my son-in-law talking! Serve all the dishes once, and there are five catties of the best daughter Hong!" a Sima Mo's attendant shouted as he looked at the shopkeeper.

"Yes! Yes, a few masters, come right away, come right away!" After speaking, the shopkeeper turned around and ran to the back kitchen, there are many people who come and go every day in Fancheng, many of them are giants, although he looks down on Xie Xuan and the others, but at this time he also knows that Sima Mo is not an ordinary person, you must know that this champion building is the first restaurant in Fancheng, all the dishes add up to a total of sixty or seventy kinds, this boy brother wants it all over again, it must be a rich son with a great background.

"Your concubine chicken is here!" "Your Diao Chan Tofu is here!" "Your anchovy shark fin is here!" The names of the dishes are endless, and the diners downstairs listen to the names of the dishes and look at the shopkeepers who are walking towards the second floor in groups with dishes.

I saw Xie Xuan and Jin Ruiwan gobbling up the table, directly throwing away the chopsticks and eating them with their hands, then Jin Ruiwan felt that his two hands were not enough, holding a chicken in one hand and a crystal elbow in the other, desperately stuffing them into his mouth, those exquisite dishes were gone when they came up, and they were directly withdrawn and then the next plate. Sima Mo's two attendants couldn't help frowning when they looked at it, while Sima Mo looked at Xie Xuan and the others with a smile and a good daughter.

In this way, an hour later, almost all the dishes were eaten, Jin Ruiwan touched his stomach and gave a long burp, smiled very contentedly, and picked up the wine cup and drank it all.

Sima Mo was also chilling behind his back at this time, these two people are too good at eating, they are completely reincarnated as starving ghosts.

"You two are really good meals, I don't know if you have eaten well, do you want to order more?"

"No need, I'm too full to eat, thank you, Brother Sima. Xie Xuan looked at Sima Mo and said embarrassedly.

"Brother Xie, can you tell me what this Van City is like? I just arrived in Van City, and I haven't had time to take a good look at it. Sima Mo said

"This Fancheng is the largest city within a radius of 100 miles, if you go to the imperial city, you must pass through it, so rich businessmen and officials can see it every day, outsiders feel that this Fancheng is particularly prosperous, especially rich, in fact, you have lived here for a long time, you know, the rich people in this city are outsiders, most of the local people are poor, not far from this champion building to the south, it is where the locals live, if Brother Sima is curious, we can take you over to have a look, but the son of a big family like you, I'm afraid I don't want to see it, because it's too poor and there's nothing to see。 “

"Brother Xie's words are wrong, all beings are created equal, I, Sima Mo, am not a person who dislikes people when they look at them poor, if he has ideals, ambitions and specialties, I still like to be friends with him. “

"Is that Brother Sima, let's be friends, let's eat again in the future, okay?" Jin Ruiwan looked at Sima Mo's eyes lit up.

Xie Xuan glanced at Jin Ruiwan, and then said, "Then I'll lead the way for Brother Sima and take a look." “

Sima Mo and the others checked out and left the Zhuangyuan Building, walked all the way to the south, and after walking for about half an hour, a dilapidated earthen house appeared in front of them, some of which had collapsed in half, but there were still people living in it. The people here are dressed in tatters, some leaning against the wall with a sluggish expression, some huddled in a corner and shivering to sleep, and some children are standing under a big tree with broken bowls, barefoot, skinny and bones, looking at Sima Mo and others blankly, without the vigor of a child.

Sima Mo has lived for almost 20 years, and it is the first time he has seen this kind of scene, and he is very shocked, he has had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have imagined that there are still people in the world who have lived such a hard life.

At this moment, five or six dirty children, both male and female, about eight or nine years old, came out of a dilapidated grass hut. Seeing Xie Xuan and Jin Ruiwan running over happily, Xie Xuan and the others also walked over to the child and squatted down, and took out the two camellia chickens that had been packed from the Zhuangyuan Building just now and put them behind their backs.

"Brother Xie Xuan, do you have steamed buns to eat today?" a little girl asked as she looked at Xie Xuan expectantly.

"Hey, I'm unlucky today, I may not have any steamed buns to eat. Xie Xuan pretended to be sad and said.

Those children were also full of disappointment, but it was only for a moment, and they laughed again and said, "Then Brother Xie Xuan, let's go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and eat!"

"Hmm... Dig wild vegetables, wild vegetables are not delicious, very bitter! Look, there are no steamed buns today, but there are two chickens! Do you eat them?" Xie Xuan took out the camellia chicken hidden behind him, and then looked at the children with a smile.

"Wow! We want to eat! We want to eat!" The children jumped excitedly, Xie Xuan put the camellia chicken forward, and the children immediately grabbed it and ate it, and it didn't take a few minutes for both chickens to be eaten, and the little girl who spoke at the beginning walked up to Xie Xuan, took out two chicken legs and said, "Brother Xie Xuan, Brother Jin, you can eat too! ”

"Xiaohong, Brother Jin and I won't eat, you all eat. ”

"Really, then we're welcome, hehe!" After saying that, Xiaohong ran back to the group of children, who tore a little bit of chicken thigh meat and ate it, still licking their fingers after eating.

Xie Xuan saw that they had finished eating, stood up and turned around, and was about to thank Sima Mo, but he was startled. At this time, Sima Mo was really in tears, he didn't know where to take out a handkerchief, and kept wiping the tears on his face, looking like that, the handkerchief was already soaked.

"Brother Sima, why are you doing this?" Xie Xuan asked.

"It's so touching! It's so pitiful! Brother Xie, I've grown so big, I've never seen such a touching scene, I've never seen such a poor child! Woo woo woo..."

Xie Xuan couldn't dodge, so he could only hug Sima Mo, patted him on the back and smiled awkwardly, and the people around him pointed at the two of them. Suddenly, Sima Mo let go of his hand, took a step back, looked at the family next to him, and said, "Take out a hundred taels and give them to those children!"

The two family members were also from poor backgrounds, so they naturally sympathized with those children, so they immediately did so and gave one hundred taels of silver to Xie Xuan.

Xie Xuan was stunned for a moment, looked at Sima Mo and said, "This is not good, Brother Sima, how can we afford so much money." ”

"No, don't come with me! Hurry up and give it to the children! I tell you, you will be my Sima Mo's brother in the future! You will call me Sima Mo in the future, I will call you Xie Xuan, if you don't agree to be polite to me, I will be in a hurry with you!" Sima Mo cried.

"Hehe... Well, I'll be respectful and obey. Then he turned to the children and said to them, "Look, this son, this is my brother, and he has given you this hundred taels of silver, what should you say?"

This group of children don't say a hundred taels, they have never seen a tael of silver, they have only seen copper plates, and at this time, they all opened their mouths into an "O" shape and looked at Sima Mo.

"That's right, children, Xie Xuan is my eldest brother, in the future, you can eat whatever you want, you can wear whatever you want, and when you have no money, tell Brother Sima, okay?"

"Long live Brother Sima!" a little boy cried out, and then the other children followed suit, unable to contain their excitement as they screamed.

"Okay, take the money and go buy candy to eat!Stay safe!" Xie Xuan let the children leave, turned to look at Sima Mo and said, "Brother Sima, oh no, Sima Mo, thank you, I don't even know how to repay you." “

"Our brothers don't say anything about repaying or not repaying! But when it comes to repaying, I really remember one thing..."
