After leaving the tailor shop, Wei Xiaobao thought to himself,'I have to find a way to earn money as soon as possible. Mother only earns ten taels of silver a month. Although I earn a hundred taels of silver all at once, it's not a long-term solution.' As he thought about it, Wei Xiaobao walked and soon arrived at a teahouse. At this time, they were talking about the Three Kingdoms. The storytellers were having a good time. After the story was finished, everyone would give him some tips. The boss would give him a commission to see how much he could earn from reading a book.
Wei Xiaobao thought to himself,"There's a way." He could be considered to have gone to university. It was not a problem for him to read and write. He had also read so many novels and liked to listen to storytelling since he was young. Could he also rely on this to make a living?'
As he thought about it, Wei Xiaobao sat down on a stool and observed the storyteller carefully. The storyteller was holding a fan or something, and as he spoke, he used the fan to hit the table at key points. The expression on his face was very rich. He mimicked the burly man's rough voice, the woman's gentle voice, the animals 'actions, and the weather's changes with lightning and thunder. It looked like he relied on his eloquence. This shouldn't be difficult. Wei Xiaobao thought to himself,' Hurry back.' If he practiced properly, he believed that his ink should not be bad.'
Wei Xiaobao spent four hours reading, and when he calculated that it was about time, he returned to the tailor shop. When he saw that the clothes were ready, the style and material were all good. Wei Chunhua would definitely like them later. Wei Xiaobao paid the money and returned to Li Chun Court. After Wei Xiaobao gave the rouge to Chunfang, he returned to his room and found a decent set of clothes to put on.
Fan, yes. Wei Xiaobao went to Sister Seven and stole a paper fan as a prop. Wei Xiaobao thought to himself,'I'm too young. People will think I'm too young. Oh right, get a pair of glasses. That way, I'll look much more profound.''Wei Xiaobao then ran into the guest's room and stole the sunglasses while he was sleeping. He thought,'This should be enough.'
After Wei Xiaobao finished cleaning up, he looked at himself in the mirror. Then, Wei Xiaobao locked himself in his room and began to practice in front of the mirror.
One moment, it was 'Three Sworn Brothers in the Peach Garden,' and the next moment, it was 'Sun Wukong Beats White Bone Demon Thrice.''Speaking of which, no one else knew that a few people from the courtyard had passed by the door. They could only hear men talking, women talking, and the sound of tables and chairs colliding. They were so frightened that they quickly went to tell Wei Chunhua.
Wei Chunhua had just finished changing the wine for the customer and was about to leave some for Wei Xiaobao when she heard someone call her name. She thought that she had been discovered stealing the wine and quickly hid it. "Chunhua, Chunhua, where are you? Hurry up, your house is haunted.”
Wei Chunhua had just caught her breath and was glad that it wasn't about stealing wine. Then, the more she heard, the more she felt that something was wrong. Why was the house haunted in broad daylight? It couldn't be, right?
Wei Chunhua said," Chunmei, don't be anxious. Tell me slowly. Tell me what happened. What haunted? Why would there be a ghost in broad daylight? Don't scare me. Your sister Chunhua is timid. You know that.”
After that, Chunmei told Wei Chunhua what she heard when she walked past Little Treasure's room. When Wei Chunhua heard that something was wrong, she was also afraid that something would happen.'Then, Wei Chunhua hurriedly ran back to her room.
As Wei Xiaobao was engrossed in his conversation, the door was pushed open with a bang. Wei Chunhua was in a hurry, staring at him with wide eyes.
Wei Xiaobao asked,"Mother, what's wrong?" It's time to eat. I'm a little hungry. Oh right, the clothes are ready. Why don't you try them on? They will definitely fit. I picked the best material to make them."
Wei Chunhua was a little scared at first, but when she came back, she heard the banging of the house. She pushed open the door and saw Wei Xiaobao. He was wearing a nondescript long robe that she didn't know where he got it. He wore a pair of big sunglasses and looked like an old man. He was holding a paper fan and was standing on the table, chattering. She didn't know what he was saying.
Wei Chunhua said," It's good that you're fine. By the way, Little Treasure, what are you doing? "I thought something was wrong with the house," said Wei Xiaobao."Mother, I'm fine. I saw people on the street telling stories, so I learned to see how well I'm doing." Mother, try on the clothes first and see if they fit.”
Wei Chunhua said," Alright, alright, alright. Mother will try. Oh right, Little Treasure, how much did you spend? Didn't Mother tell you? Don't waste money.
Wei Xiaobao said," Aiya, mother, why don't you think about when your clothes were made? This is a big occasion, and we're all meeting rich men. We can't lose face, right? It's only 20 taels of silver."”
Wei Chunhua said angrily," What, you little brat? Twenty taels? Aren't you asking for your mother's life? How much does your mother earn in a month? In the future, she still has to support your studies and marry a wife. Which one doesn't spend money?”
Wei Xiaobao said," Mother, I'm thinking of a way. I'll look for Sister Seven later. I'm free at Li Chun Yard, so I can't do any hard work. I'll see if I can tell everyone a story and make some money for Mother. Besides, Mother, that money is already falling from the sky. Don't worry. When I earn money, I'll buy you something better than this. What if you can't spend it?"”
When Wei Chunhua heard this, she knew that her son knew how to be filial to her at such a young age. She was not angry anymore. She put on the clothes and tried them on. The clothes really fitted her. She looked energetic and much younger when she wore them.
Wei Xiaobao laughed,"Mother, look at you. You're already pretty. It would be strange if you were good-looking. How good is this? You look ten years younger. Others will think that you are my sister when they see you.”
Wei Chunhua smiled and said," You only know how to make Mother happy. I won't argue with you this time, but there can't be a next time. Oh right, Mother, go to the kitchen and get something to eat. Eat quickly later and fill your little stomach." As she spoke, Wei Chunhua went out.
Wei Xiaobao quickly packed up his 'equipment'. After a while, Wei Chunhua came in with two side dishes and a pot of wine. While they were eating, Wei Chunhua asked," Little Treasure, what did you say just now? You still want to talk about books? Think about it, at your age, you're just a reader. Why are you pretending to be an adult? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at? You still want to talk about books? Where did you get all these things from?”
"Mom, it's true. I listen to stories on the streets all day long. Those storytellers just make a living by talking. They know how to do it. I've learned a lot these days. Besides, what's the point of listening to those old men tell stories?" It's better to listen to a little adult like me tell stories. Don't you think so? Even if he couldn't, he would just tease everyone for fun. It was no big deal. Will you let me try?"
" Alright, alright. I'm not afraid of you stabbing the sky down anyway. Go find Seventh Sister after dinner. Seventh Sister agrees, and Mother has no objections either. If you can't, you have to stay here obediently. When you're older, you'll go to school, understand?"”Wei Xiaobao said,"Okay, okay, I understand."”
