In the Xuanshui Inn, Gu Mandong and his entourage directly set a single courtyard, and it was more than enough for more than 20 people to live, but the cost of silver was not small, but in terms of service, it was still worth the money.

After a short rest, after everyone washed away the dust along the way, this stomach was also hungry.

Originally, Gu Mandong also planned to let everyone have dinner at the Xuanshui Inn and rest for a night, and then go to Guanzhong tomorrow to play.

Just as she was about to speak, the figure of the little girl leading the way flashed in her mind.

She shouldn't be still guarding outside?

Thinking of that child's eyes, Gu Mandong was really not sure that she would leave lightly.

"Jiang Hang, you go outside the inn to see if the little girl left before, if not, you bring her in, if she leaves, say to Xiao Er, and bring everyone's dinner to the courtyard. ”

"Yes. ”

Jiang Hang was ordered to leave, and after leaving the inn, he looked around, and finally saw the little girl holding a steamed bun at the mouth of a small alley not far away, holding her younger brother and feeding him.

The appearance of carefully tearing off a small piece of steamed bun piece by piece and feeding it to the child actually made Jiang Hang's eyes slightly moved, and he walked towards the two of them.

Although the little girl was seriously feeding her younger brother, she still maintained an alert attitude, and when she noticed that someone was approaching the two, she immediately raised her eyes and hugged her younger brother in her arms tightly, looking vigilant.

After discovering that it was Jiang Hang, he immediately showed a bright smile, stood up and said, "This master, is it where the young lady and the young master need to go, and ask someone to lead the way?"

"That's all you eat?"

"Yes. My brother loves to eat it. ”

"What about your parents? It's so late. Aren't they worried about you at all?"

"Uncle, now this time is for people like us who beg for food in Xuanshuiguan. It's still early, and I want to live a good life. Just work hard. What's a little late?"

"It's nothing to an adult, but you're just a kid after all, and with a younger child, no matter what, your family will worry. I'll give you another ten cents, and you go straight home, don't stay outside." It's dangerous. Even if you don't think about yourself, think about your brother. ”

The little girl pursed her lips, but she didn't accept the copper coin handed to her by Jiang Hang.

"I can't ask for this money. The young lady had already given more money before. You can't be too greedy, greed will be retributed. I don't want to. The little girl opened her mouth and refused the money Jiang Hang gave her, which undoubtedly made Jiang Hang very incomprehensible.

"That's it. Come with me, Miss wants to see you. Jiang Hang sighed, and finally said like this.

"Miss looking for me?" asked the little girl, her eyes widening in surprise.

"That's right, I came here at Miss's behest, and it was only my idea to let you go back before, since you don't want to accept my kindness, then you can follow me to see Miss. Mademoiselle should have something to tell you to do. ”

"Really? Uncle, please go ahead, I will follow my brother immediately after carrying my brother. The little girl spoke happily and wrapped the long harness around her brother's armpit. The back was fixed on his body, and he immediately followed happily, and Jiang Hang was puzzled by that look.

Since such a big child came out to beg for a living. Why should we ask for hardship before we refuse to get it for nothing?

Face life. Shouldn't it be about living better, not about self-esteem?

In the eyes of Jiang Hang. At this moment, the little girl obviously has too much self-esteem, so she will refuse the benefits at her fingertips.

Jiang Hang led the little girl to Gu Mandong, who had already changed her clothes, and after grooming, the three of Gu Mandong undoubtedly changed their appearance immediately.

Qi Ming and Mo Jinyan are both that kind of beautiful spokesperson, in front of them, they almost feel ashamed of themselves, except for Gu Mandong, of course, she never feels inferior because of her appearance, at most she maintains an appreciative attitude.

Tagurunto is as scary as ever, there is no way, who makes him always refuse to shave his beard, and there will be some negative impact on the child after all.

As for Gu Mandon's appearance, he was gentle and cunning, so that the little girl couldn't help but pay attention to her and reduce the influence of the rest.

When the little girl arrived in the hall, she saluted everyone in a proper manner, but the small action that she was afraid of soiling the place still revealed the already nervous mood under this calm little face on the surface.

Jiang Hang walked over, and after saying a few words in Gu Mandong's ear, Gu Mandong showed a slight hint of surprise.

But because of this, he showed a gentle smile and said softly: "Little sister, what's your name?"

"Li Xiangrong, the clothes of clothes, the appearance of faces. ”

"Yun Xiang

"Miss is very knowledgeable, and the name of the dress does come from here. It was given by a gentleman who was begging for water at home. Li Xiangrong said, his expression darkened slightly, as if he was a person with a story.

"Then can I call you Xiaorong?"

"It's my honor to be called this title, Miss. ”

"Well, do you know what I asked you to call in for?" asked Kumandon.

"Miss is looking for a delicious restaurant that is not too far away, I don't know if I'm right?"

"It's a smart kid. Do you have any introductions?"

"Of course there is. If the lady wants to talk about pomp, you can go directly to Wangjing Tower, that place is not far from here, most of them are celebrities and wealthy businessmen who eat there, the most important thing is pomp, as for the taste of things, because of the famous chef Wang in the Guannai, I believe the taste will not be bad. In terms of expenses, it will naturally be not small, and people who don't have some silver dare not set foot here. ”

"If the lady wants to eat a variety of things, you can go to Wanhua Pavilion, where there are a variety of things, sweet and sour, bitter and salty, things in the sea, things that crawl away on the road or birds in the sky, all kinds of choices will always be suitable for you, the most afraid of difficult to reconcile. ”

"Miss Ruo likes to eat authentic Guanzhong snacks, and all kinds of snacks in Jindianlou are the most famous. The price is also not expensive. Some small rich families in Guanzhong like to come here occasionally to eat some snacks. ”

"As for the closest. You can eat some snacks in Guanzhong, and rice flour porridge is available. What can still accommodate a large table that can seat forty or fifty people belongs to the small incense hall. The lady in charge of the spoon is good, and she looks kind, although Xiaoxiangtang is not as well decorated as several other places, but it is also a century-old shop, which is worth a try. I wonder if the young lady has a satisfactory choice?"

"I've heard you say so much, but I'm really familiar with it, I don't know how Xiaoxiangtang's porridge is cooked?"

Li Xiangrong's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but say: "The little fragrant porridge that the proprietress is best at is the most delicious." It has a faint milky flavor and crunchy almonds, which is delicious. Of course, in addition to these, there are many porridge products that are also very delicious, it can be said that this small Xiangtang is most famous for porridge, and of course, some meat is also delicious. However, the proprietress has rules for eating as much as you want, if it is wasted. But if he wants to be fined money, if he does not change it after the punishment, he will be turned away next time. We will not accept them. ”

Kumandon was a little surprised.

This proprietress has a character.

For this point, I want to taste the porridge of this small fragrant hall.

Li Xiangrong may have been too excited, but the steamed buns that were originally in his arms rolled down. Fell to the ground.

As soon as the steamed bun fell to the ground, Li Xiangrong's face immediately changed. After picking up the thing and patting it clean, he immediately stuffed it back into his arms, and pressed it a few times to make sure it wouldn't fall out, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Qiming on the side watched Li Xiangrong's movements and couldn't help frowning.

I just felt that she picked up the things on the ground, and she looked like such a baby, so she couldn't help grabbing two fruits from the table, jumped off the stool, walked to Li Shangrong, and without saying a word, stuffed the fruit into Li Xiangrong's hand, and he directly reached out to the position in someone's arms, directly frightened Li Xiangrong screamed, threw the fruit, covered his chest, took a few steps back, and looked at Qi Ming in shock.

"Seven Hells, nonsense. Don't apologize to Xiaorong yet. People are girls, you are boys, men and women are not kissed, how can you stretch your hand to the hem of someone's clothes, and don't apologize quickly. Gu Mandong scolded, and was also taken aback by Qi Ming's actions, fortunately Li Xiangrong ran fast, otherwise he would have really succeeded, Gu Mandong would feel enough to think about it.

"I'm sorry, I just think the steamed bun is dirty and can't be eaten, I'll give you two fruits, I want you to throw away the dirty things. Didn't mean to offend you. ”

"No, don't dare. The little young master said seriously, I was too fussy and wrongly blamed the little young master's kindness. This steamed bun is just a little soil, and it will be clean when you get it down, and you can still eat it. It was my rough hands and feet that broke the fruit. I, I compensate you. That's all I have left, it's not enough, can I owe it first?"

Li Xiangrong hurriedly picked up the fruit on the ground, looked at the traces of the sunken corner, and felt indescribably distressed, but after all, the thing was broken by her, and Li Xiangrong could only reluctantly take out all the money on her body and hand it over as compensation.

"I didn't say that you should pay it, what are you doing with the money. Besides, this thing was sent by the inn guys, and there is no money, if it is broken, it will be broken, and if you can't eat it, you will throw it away, you are so strange, I didn't let you lose money, you are in a hurry to lose money, are you very rich?" Qi Ming turned his face and said angrily.

What a guy who doesn't know what to do.

Gu Mandong glanced at Qiming, he was really angry, but he was wrongly angry.

As a national teacher of Baisha Country, he has been worry-free about food and clothing since he was a child, how could he know the truth that children from poor families are in charge early.

Don't look at it as just a dirty steamed bun, if you don't have anything to eat, even if it's the bark of a tree root that is difficult to swallow, you have to swallow it in order to be able to live.

For fear that Qi Ming would say too many mistakes, Gu Mandong didn't wait for him to speak again, he had already opened his mouth.

"Xiao Rong, you take us to Xiaoxiangtang for dinner, I won't give you any reward for leading the way this time, but I can invite you to eat with your brother, all-you-can-eat, even if it is to thank you for the reward of waiting outside for a long time, what do you think?"

Li Xiangrong's eyes couldn't help but light up, and she asked uncertainly, "Miss really invited me and my brother to eat in Xiaoxiangtang?"

"That's right. ”

"Can you ask for two bowls of porridge? My brother hasn't eaten millet porridge for a long time. ”

"Absolutely. Don't say it's two bowls, it doesn't matter if it's more, as long as you can eat it. Don't forget, the rule of Xiaoxiangtang is to eat as much as you want, and I don't want to spend money in vain. ”

"Thank you, Miss. Li Shangrong responded happily, and Gu Mandong motioned to Jiang Hang to call everyone to gather and go to Xiaoxiangtang together.

On the way –

"Sister, why is she so happy when you invite that Li Shangrong to eat, but I gave her two fruits, and she is so frightened. It's all the same thing, why is there such a big difference?" Qi Ming took Gu Mandong's hand and asked with a frown, this matter seemed to have been thought about for a long time, which made him a little puzzled.

"I don't know what will happen to others, at least Li Xiangrong, this little girl, is a little girl with strong self-esteem. Just by virtue of the fact that she does not take advantage, it is good to say that she is honest with others, to put it bluntly, she has strong self-esteem and does not allow herself to get something for nothing. Besides, when you give something, don't you say it first, and then do something to others, even if you are a few years younger than them, it is not rude. It is strange that people can be happy if they move rashly. ”

"What does my sister mean is that you are so happy because you take into account Li Xiangrong's self-esteem?"

"Not really. The most important thing is that I listened to her bright eyes when she mentioned Xiaoxiangtang's Xiaoxiang porridge, and her concern for her younger brother, which made her unable to push away this alternative reward. Do you know that this steamed bun costs a penny, and the remaining half of the steamed bun just now fell out, and you also saw it, so I don't know if you noticed that there was a complete steamed bun in her arms. Tell me, why is that?"

"Ah, she hasn't eaten yet. ”

"Yes. Even if she is hungry, she has to give it to her brother first, and she is reluctant to eat another steamed bun, so she knows how much she loves her brother. I'd rather starve myself than my brother starving, and if I can eat something better, I will fight for the most suitable food for my brother, even if I have to let go of my self-esteem because of this, I am willing to do so. Do you understand that?"

Qiming suddenly realized, and looked at Li Shangrong, who was leading the way with a child on his back, and couldn't help but be impressed.

Thinking about it, Qi Ming found that if it was him, would he be able to do better than Li Xiangrong?

Although he didn't know Li Xiangrong's past, he was also a psychic, and he could judge a person's general status from the aura exuded by a person.

He could see that the aura between the two sisters and brothers was closely connected, and a trace of yin qi lingered on the bodies of the two, but it was harmless, as if someone in the family had died. Ten likely, this sister and brother are probably orphans. (To be continued.) )
