Chapter 634 Knowing etiquette and politeness
In Tarunchen County, Fang Zhuan, who was sitting in a carriage, was going to talk to two little guys. They were ambitious and temperamental. Children at such a young age should not be living on the streets. Although they were not begging, the faces of the two children
It's really not very good either.
"Fu Jiao, come out and drive the carriage!" Fang Zhuo patted the carriage and shouted.
Fu Jiao and Fang Zhuang had just rotated around and hadn't had enough rest at this time. "Junior brother, what's wrong? The time has not come yet. Besides, after you entered the city, you took over the driving and didn't even go a mile. You can't be so
You called me a long time ago, right?"
"Just pick it up if I ask you to. I'm overflowing with love! Just think of it as helping me once, and next time, I'll make it up to you twice as much!" Fang Zhuo didn't worry about what he was saying in order to go see the two children early.
"Overflowing with love? Are you going to beg for these... Where are you going?" Before Fu Jiao finished speaking, Fang Zhuo jumped out of the carriage and walked towards the noodle stall.
Fang Zhuo didn't reply to Fu Jiao and walked to the noodle stall, "Old man, two bowls of noodles! If there is any meat, add more!"
"Okay!" The little old man agreed readily and reached out to touch a clay pot. It seemed that all the live noodles were stored in that clay pot.
Fang Zhuo glanced at the two little guys at the foot of the wall, and then asked the little old man facing the stall, "Old man, those two children are not your grandsons, are they?"
"? Oh~ it would be great if he was my grandson! I, the little old man, have no children until now. Alas! These two children have been here for half a month. They understand the etiquette and help me, the little old man, with some work.
, Every day, after I finish my work, I will get them both a bowl! Uh... It’s not that I’m stingy, my mother-in-law is sick at home, and there aren’t many people eating noodles. If I can’t sell enough medicine every day,
My mother-in-law's medicine is about to stop! It costs money and rent to set up a stall here. I also want to take in the two little guys. I mentioned it once, but they said they can call me grandpa, but they will never change their surname.
Haha, as soon as I opened my mouth, the little old man guessed that there is definitely something wrong behind these two boys! As for why they came here, no one who set up stalls nearby knew!"
The old man was cooking the noodles while talking. Although they were two bowls of noodles with clear soup and little water, they had a fragrance that made the two little guys dream. He cooked the noodles in front of Fang Zhuo, while Fang Zhuo looked at the two
The little guy, probably because Fang Zhuan had been looking at him for a long time, the two little guys' attention shifted from the noodle bowl to Fang Zhuan.
When the three of them looked at each other, the two little guys did something that surprised Fang Zhuo and made him feel embarrassed. They cupped their fists and bowed to Fang Zhuo in a gesture of apology.
This scene shocked Fang Zhuo. In Ling'an Kingdom, Fang Zhuo was considered a person who had traveled south and north. What kind of world, who had not seen this before? But he had never seen a little brat who knew so many etiquette.
of.
Regarding this issue, we cannot blame Fang Zhuo for his lack of knowledge. In ancient times, it was rare for children from poor families here to know good manners. It was impossible to know etiquette. Their parents may not know anything, let alone want their children to know anything. But the rich
Children from other families definitely know etiquette. Rich families pay more attention to their appearance, so they will definitely give etiquette to their children. However, children from wealthy families are spoiled to the limit and do not understand politeness at all. They do not know what the etiquette is.
Always be courteous to others, and a spoiled child is rude to his own family members, and is even more unwelcome to outsiders.
So to put it all together, it turns out that such a big kid like Fang Zhuan in front of him at the moment can understand etiquette and politeness, and watching their gestures of saluting, it is definitely not something they have learned recently. This makes Fang Zhuan look at him with admiration.
What kind of good parents can teach sensible children?
Of course, Fang Zhuo was shocked in his heart and did not hesitate in his hands. When the two children saluted and stood up, Fang Zhuo waved his arms to call them over.
The two brothers hesitated for a while and looked at each other. The elder brother took the lead and walked over, "My hero, what can I ask?"
"You two are young, I guess you two can't finish these two bowls of noodles, uh... If you can finish them, I will give you two taels of silver each!" Fang Zhuo was not prepared to give alms, so he used another
In a playful way, the brothers ate the two bowls of noodles in front of them.
"My hero, are you serious about this?" The little brother asked Fang Zhuo with his hands clasped in fists.
"Seriously!" Fang Zhuan immediately confirmed, and took out two taels of silver from the backpack behind him and placed it on the small table of the noodle stall.
Seeing this, the two little guys looked at each other, solemnly bowed to Fang Zhuan with fists clasped in his hands, then walked forward, hugged the noodle bowl and started eating.
Fang Zhuo took two low stools from beside him, "You two sit down and eat! Don't worry! The money is here, it won't escape!" After saying that, Fang Zhuo slowly stood up and looked at the two little guys eating.
Very seriously, he quietly walked to the old noodle seller, gave him two taels of silver, and returned to the carriage.
Fu Jiao was watching all this, looking at Fang Zhuo with a suspicious look on his face, as well as an older kid following behind him.
Fang Zhuo noticed the change in Fu Jiao's eyes, turned around and saw that the little brother's mouth was full of noodles. He was speechless for a while. After a few breaths, he swallowed the noodles with difficulty, and then faced
Fang Zhuan clasped his hands and said, "My hero, by doing this, are you breaking your promise?"
"No, the money is on the table, how can you say that you broke your promise?" Fang Zhuo asked.
"The hero left two taels of silver before my two brothers finished eating. If we can't eat it, then the hero should take back the two taels of silver! My two brothers will not accept it! Please forgive me.
I'll wait a moment, my brother is still young and eats slowly, please give me more time!"
"Haha! Silly boy, you can continue to eat. There is a traffic jam here and I can't leave for a while. The money is put on the table first. I can't finish it now. You can continue eating in the evening. I don't limit your time, so
, I believe you two will finish the noodles sooner or later, then the money will be yours sooner or later!"
"Uh... Your Majesty did this on purpose. My two brothers deserve it!" When the elder brother finished speaking, he looked at the carriage behind Fang Zhuo, then looked at the rear again, and found that there were two identical carriages.
He clasped his hands and said, "When you accept people's money, you should do things for them. Although my two brothers are small, they can help the heroes and others find a place to spend the night. I wonder if, heroes, you would be willing to let my two brothers take the two taels of silver."
It’s only fair that things are done well!”
Although the child's voice was immature, his words were very attractive to Fang Zhuan, "What do you mean, can you find a place for our two carriages to spend the night?"
"Yes, it's my brothers who lead the way for the hero!" the little guy said decisively, and his brother must be counted for such an errand.
Although Fang Zhuo was a little skeptical, he agreed with his mouth, "Okay! You two have finished the noodles, or if you can't finish them, you can always lead the way for me!"
"Wait a moment, hero!" After saying that, the little guy ran back, looked down at his bowl of noodles on the table, gritted his teeth, "Brother, don't eat it! We receive money from others and we should do things for others. Noodles will be returned in the future.
I have food to eat, but I don’t know when I will have errands again.”
"Brother, you tell me, I listen to you!" The younger child stood up with a long noodle in his mouth. The noodles were also interesting. After the little boy stood up, he put one end in his mouth and the other end was still soaked in the noodle soup.
He was sucking and sucking, and the little guy felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't want to break the noodles in his mouth, so he quickly stuffed the noodles into his mouth with both hands, making his mouth bulging.
What happened outside the carriage was also seen by Yingchu and Henzui in the carriage. Because there were many people outside, they did not express their maternal love.
After that, the two little guys stopped eating noodles. The reluctant eyes looking at the two bowls of noodles did not make them hesitate in the slightest.
The elder brother held his younger brother's hand, and the two little guys led Fang Zhuo and others' carriage. They did not continue to block it, but asked the old man selling noodles to make way for the carriage. The carriage circled the city from the open space beside the city wall.
Walk.
On the west side of the city, the carriage passed two streets. The two little guys held hands and walked further. When they reached the third street, the two guys waved their arms like commanders to signal the carriage.
Turn.
"Master, wait here for a moment. We two brothers will open the door for you!" Outside a gate, two little guys stopped, turned around and said to Fang Zhuo on the carriage, and ran away quickly.
Thirty meters away from the carriage, at the side door of a house, the two brothers walked in. After a while, the door next to the carriage creaked open. The two children pushed the door open with difficulty, "Heroes, please come inside!"
"This is..." No matter what, you must always ask clearly where this is, otherwise it will not be a joke if you accidentally enter someone else's house.
"My hero, please stay in peace, this is our home!"
"Your home? Can the adults be at home?" Fang Zhuo was confused. In such a big house, two children ran out to eat leftovers. Where are the adults in this house?
"Uh... dad and mom are sick, and they are both in the bedroom at this time." When the two brothers said this, they couldn't help but lower their heads.
"Okay! Then we will stay, but we will pay for the room! We have paid off the two taels of silver you two led the way!"
"Do as the hero wishes!" The two brothers stopped being polite. The younger one directed the carriage to go through the side door, while the older one led Fang Zhuo into the courtyard through the main entrance.
The door that the two brothers opened for Fang Zhuan and others had a front door with steps and a threshold. The carriage could only go through the side door. The side door had no stone steps but had a threshold, but the side door's threshold could be easily removed.
