"It's called Fugui Hutong. Situ Ningbing took Yifei's gentle and soft little hand and walked one wall at a time and said, "There are many children who are about your age living in it, I will take you to meet them." ”

Today's saint heirs are thin, only three sons and two daughters, the eldest princess and the second prince Wei Wang are from Concubine De, Concubine Shu gave birth to the crown prince and the third prince Qi Wang, Yifei is from Li Guifei, among the five princes and princesses, only Yifei is still underage, because of the age gap and the relationship between their biological mothers, Yifei is not close to his brother and sister, and he has no playmates in the palace on weekdays. Originally, it was Situ Ningbing who led her, but now it was her who pulled Situ Ningbing to the depths of the alley.

This alley is called Fugui Hutong, but it is not a rich family that lives here, on the contrary, it is not a beggar or a poor person who can't make much money such as picking up rags and pouring night incense, and some are homeless refugees from other provinces, these people have nothing to do with the word "wealth". The alleys are lined with dilapidated tiled houses, and even the doors are in tatters, and from behind the cracks in the doors, a pair of curious eyes will occasionally peek at the three people who are walking on the rough and grassy paths on both sides.

Feeling the eyes around him, Yifei stopped and looked around, his heart was a little hairy, and he subconsciously grabbed Situ Ningbing's hand, "Sister, let's go back." "As much as she would love to have a friend of the same age, it was a place that scared her.

Situ Ningbing naturally also noticed the pair of eyes behind the door, touched Yifei's head and said softly: "Don't be afraid, they are just curious." After speaking, he looked around and said lightly: "I brought food, if you want it, come out quickly, first come, first served." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the originally silent alley instantly became noisy, and with the sound of impatient doors opening and footsteps, Situ Ningbing and Yifei were surrounded by a group of ragged and dirty children. The eldest is only ** years old, and some even carry a baby in swaddling clothes on their backs, all of them are yellow and thin, but they all stare at Situ Ningbing with a pair of eyes, their eyes are full of longing.

"Where's the food?" a tall and thin boy stretched out a hand about the thickness of a bamboo pole and asked Situ Ningbing, his tone was quite unkind.

Seeing pity on the side, Situ Ningbing didn't wait for Situ Ningbing to speak, and the food box in his hand in front of her was blocked by an arrow and said, "Here." ”

The boy was also unceremoniously reaching out to grab the food box, but when he saw that his hand shrank and avoided it lightly and skillfully, the child couldn't help but be annoyed that he couldn't grab the food box from his hand after trying several times, and shouted to his companions around him: "Let's go together!"

She couldn't help but be a little flustered when she heard this, she had seen a lot of vicious people with Miss over the years, if it was a group of bandits and robbers in front of her, she wouldn't blink her eyelids, but in the face of a group of hungry children, she was a little helpless, she couldn't bully a group of poor children as an adult, right? Just when she was embarrassed, she heard someone shouting: "Wait!"

Seeing the prestige, I saw a thin and short boy slowly coming out of the group of children, and as soon as he spoke, the children who were about to pounce on her and grab the food box in her hand all stopped, and even the tall boy only looked at her with hatred and then retreated unwillingly. Apparently the short, skinny boy was the head of the group.

"What do you want us to do?" the boy asked as he walked up to Jianlian without looking at her, staring straight at Situ Ningbing.

Situ Ningbing touched Yifei's head to soothe her nervous and restless, and glanced at the boy lightly, his immature face had a shrewdness and steadiness that did not match his age. "How do you know I have something for you to do?" she wanted to use this group of children to let Yifei, the princess who holds the moon with stars, experience some human suffering.

"Hmph!" The boy sneered, his eyes looked at Situ Ningbing and Yi Fei presumptuously, and then said with some cynicism: "Look at your dress, you know that you are a young lady from a rich and noble family, how can you come to a beggar's den like us if you have nothing to do? There must be some dirty thing that we want to do, so you pretend to carry a food box to buy us!" I made up my mind to take this opportunity to knock Situ Ningbing hard, don't let her think that she is a child and be fooled.

"Ten taels of silver. The boy stretched out two fingers and crossed them to compare a "ten" posture, he actually didn't know how much ten taels of silver was, only listened to Wang Er Mazi's mother-in-law who was driving in the alley next door to chase the car crying and scolding Wang Er Mazi when she was asked for gambling debts, saying that he was faint and lost ten taels of silver in the casino, even if he sold their whole family, he couldn't make up the money! Later, I heard that Wang Mazi's two daughters were arrested by the debtor and sold to the kiln, and his mother-in-law also ran away with a merchant, and finally he died within a few days of his own illness. Originally, although Wang Er Mazi was not a rich family, he was much stronger than his family, at least his two daughters could be fed and clothed, but for ten taels of silver, the family was ruined, so in his heart, ten taels of silver was a lot of money.

Situ Ningbing looked at him and didn't answer, but raised his face at the tall and thin boy and said, "Give him the food." ”

Seeing that Pian Wenyan handed the food box in his hand to the tall and thin boy who retreated to the side, the boy looked at Situ Ningbing and then at the short and thin boy, hesitated for a moment and then snatched the food box in Jianpian's hand, as if he was afraid that Situ Ningbing would regret it.

Situ Ningbing lowered her head and whispered to Yifei, who was clinging to her, "Take a good look." ”

Yi Fei was scared and curious, and opened her mouth to ask something, but the scene in front of her made her dumbfounded. As soon as the food box was opened, the group of children who had been quiet suddenly pounced on the tall and thin boy like a pack of hungry wolves, desperately fighting for the food in his hand—it was just what she had leftovers!

Feeling that Yi Fei's body was trembling, Situ Ningbing's heart softened, and he took her hand, which was already about the same temperature as himself, and walked towards the mouth of the alley around the group of wolf-like children. Although Yi Fei was scared, she couldn't help but look back at the group of children step by step, she had never seen such a scene in her life, and there was an indescribable feeling spreading in her heart.

When he was about to reach the mouth of the alley, there was a rush of footsteps behind him, "Wait!" It was the short, thin boy who chased him out, and Yi Fei saw him involuntarily shrink to Situ Ningbing's side.

Situ Ningbing didn't look back and continued to lead Yifei forward, the boy saw Situ Ningbing ignoring him and hurriedly shouted: "Eight taels! As long as eight taels, I can help you with anything!"

Situ Ningbing still ignored him and walked forward, the boy gritted his teeth and shouted persistently: "Five taels! four taels!"

Situ Ningbing finally stopped and turned around, looked at the boy with interest, and smiled leisurely for a long time: "You are very smart, but unfortunately you guessed wrong, I don't have anything to spend money for you to do it for me." Glancing into the depths of the alley, Situ Ningbing smiled a little, although his tone was gentle, but the words he said felt bitterly cold in people's ears, "What I need to do, the food in the food box has been done for me." With that, the boy looked stunned and got on his horse.

"Wait!" The boy saw that Situ Ningbing was about to ride the horse, and he didn't know where he got the courage to fly in front of the horse, seeing that the horse's hooves were about to step on him, Yifei screamed in surprise and covered his eyes with his hands and didn't dare to look, but there was a gentle coasm in his ears: "Don't be afraid." The two short words instantly soothed her heart, and she dared to open her eyes and look out between her fingers, only to see the horse under her crotch suddenly stand up, and the flying front hooves could avoid the boy's thin body and step firmly on the ground.

"What are you doing?!Don't die!" Looking at the boy who seemed to be frightened and stood motionless, Yi Fei was a little annoyed, she didn't understand why he didn't even want his life in order to ask for a few taels of silver!

The boy came back to his senses and ignored Wing Fei's words, and bowed his head as soon as he knelt on his knees.

Situ Ningbing had been looking at him quietly without speaking, and finally said lightly at this moment, "What are you doing?"

The boy kowtowed indiscriminately, and only raised his head when he heard Situ Ningbing's question, his eyes were full of hope and eagerness, "I don't want any silver, I just ask Miss to accept me, I can do any job, as long as I take care of the food!"

Situ Ningbing's heart moved, and when he looked at this child's talent, he knew that he was a manufacturable material, as long as he cultivated it well, he would definitely be a capable person over time. With this intention in his heart, Situ Ningbing decided to give him another try, and deliberately said coldly: "I didn't open a good hall, you found the wrong person." ”

When the boy saw that she did not agree, he did not say much, but continued to kowtow louder and louder. Before Situ Ningbing could speak, Yifei couldn't stand it anymore, turned his head to look at Situ Ningbing and begged: "Sister, you see that he is so pitiful, you just accept him." ”

The street outside Fugui Hutong was paved with bluestone slabs, the boy's head hit the hard bluestone slabs and broke in a few strokes, and the blood slowly flowed down the gaps between the stone slabs, Situ Ningbing looked at the red blood, after all, he was a little unbearable in his heart, and he couldn't stand Yifei's plea, so he only paused and said, "You get up." ”

The boy was stunned when he heard this, and then kowtowed again and shouted, "Thank you, Miss for taking you in!" before standing up.

Situ Ningbing was a little more satisfied when she saw him so clever, but it was not enough for her to pick people. "Don't thank me first, I can accept you, but it also depends on whether you and I have a master-servant fate. I'll give you seven days, if you can find me again within seven days, it means that you and I are destined, if you can't find it..."Situ Ningbing dragged out his voice and looked at the boy with a smile, "If you stop my horse in the future, I won't pull the reins." Although she was smiling when she spoke, the boy's body shook involuntarily, nodded and consciously moved out of the way.
