Chapter 66: Datong Alley (1st Update)
Oh, my God! What about the promise to be left for the next day? This is obviously earning money in this life, no, the next life!
Lin Aqi pinched Danxin's heart for a while, but Dan's heart was still soft: "Small, Miss......"
Lin Aqi couldn't cry or laugh: "Why are you scared like this!" β
Dan knew that he was out of shape, so he knelt down and asked the young lady for forgiveness. Lin Aqi hurriedly stopped her: "Didn't you say it, don't kneel at every turn, there is gold under the man's knees!" β
Dan looked at her timidly, and suddenly felt as if he had never understood Miss Lin, how could a serious girl dare to go to the gambling house to play? I've never seen anyone rush to make money as soon as they go, and win so much at one time! There is no ...... that does not allow slaves and maids to kneel to their masters
I am afraid that it will take three days and three nights to digest so many things before it can be qualified.
"But we're not men either."
Dan Xin said that, Lin Aqi patted her arm: "Okay, okay!" We have money now! I think it's still early, why don't we go buy some honey candy and pastries and see your family? β
Danxin hurriedly shook his head: "How can Miss go to such a lowly place?" Still don't. β
Lin Aqi pondered slowly, and suddenly asked, "Do you know where my home is?" β
"Dan doesn't know."
"My family is in the most rugged and remote Xixiang in Yungu Country, and I live in a small village there."
"Creek Township?" Dan Xin was surprised.
"Well, haven't you heard of it?"
"Dan is rude, and it's normal that I haven't heard of it."
Lin Aqi waved his small hand and grabbed her shoulder: "Look, everyone knows about your family, and everyone in my family is not familiar with it, are you much better than me?" β
Dan was a little embarrassed, scratching his head embarrassedly, although it felt weird, but it sounded like some truth.
So the two began to buy all kinds of purchases, walked all the way and played all the way, and happily went to Hulusi Datong Alley.
"How many siblings do you have in your family?"
"Count the slaves." Dan Xin knew a little about a few numbers, so he folded his fingers a little quickly, "There are twelve in total, and I am ranked sixth." β
"Ahem, ahemβ" Lin Archie was sweetened by a piece of candied fruit.
"Miss, are you alright?" Danxin asked for a bowl of tea from the tea house on the side of the road, and hurriedly brought it to her.
Lin Aqi poured a big sip of water before pressing the discomfort in his throat: "How many?" β
Dan's heart is a little weak-hearted, isn't it that this number is too terrifying, so it makes Miss uncomfortable, right?
"Twelve." Danxin's voice lowered.
"Aren't you eleven years old?" Lin Aqi stared at his big apricot eyes, and his pupils were full of disbelief.
Dan's face burned: "I'm ashamed to say that my mother died early, so my father remarried another, and several younger brothers and sisters after me were all born to my stepmother." β
"Oh, I see." Just now, she thought that her mother was so great, and it was really not easy to raise so many children by herself.
Although there are only six in half, it is not easy for a mother to give birth to a child, thinking about the kindness of the master and the mother to herself, she is so naughty, she is a little ashamed of them, not to mention that her mother gave birth to six.
"Then let's go see your brothers and sisters."
Dan Xin glanced at the things in his hand: "What about my brother and sister?" β
"Aren't they your stepmother's children, they have your stepmother to take care of them."
Dan was a little hesitant: "But they have never eaten these delicious foods, and I want them to taste them." She suddenly thought that these were all bought by the young lady, and she hurriedly changed her words, "But Danxin will work hard in the future and buy them herself!" β
Lin Aqi smiled and rubbed her head like Yunqi: "Today is for us to make money together, and buy it for our younger brothers and sisters!" β
Dan Xin watched Lin Aqi buy a lot of food, clothing and dolls, packed them together, and the two of them were almost unable to lift them, Lin Aqi ran to Renyazi and rented a leg and followed them neatly, and went to Datong Alley together.
Along the way, Dan Xin kept using those ten fingers to calculate how much Lin Aqi spent, and the more he calculated, the more wrong it became, ten fingers were really not enough.
"Danxin! Where is your home? β
Lin Archie walked quickly, and only then did he find that Dan Xin was still looking down and counting the silver.
She went over and pulled her: "Don't forget it! It's all a reward for you to come out with me today! β
"Both?"
"Of course! When did this son go back on his word? β
Danxin was amused by her pretending to be an uncle, but she was still embarrassed: "Miss, this is too much, it's not suitable......"
"It's okay, you can follow me home in a while, so that the family will not question where you got so many things, and you can also chat with your family."
Dan's eyes were red for a while, and a few tears slid down her cheeks, except for her deceased mother, no one had ever treated her so well.
Danxin immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Archie: "Thank you, Miss!" Danxin will definitely follow Miss in the future, and will die as a cow and a horse for Miss! β
Lin Aqi was taken aback by her set: "You look like you have a book from anywhere, hurry up!" Didn't you say you wouldn't kneel to me? What are you going to do with my life? β
Dan was embarrassed to be helped up by her, and smiled shyly: "Yes, the slave will not dare in the future." β
The two of them talked and laughed and walked into the depths of the alley, and after a while, a little child appeared, it was almost winter, and on such a cold day, the child was still wearing a summer single coat, and two little toes were exposed on the broken shoes, and his face was red from the cold, and his hair was messy.
He was shouting behind him, "One by one! Two-two! Hurry up! β
Several children laughed and ran to the front, Danxin recognized them at a glance, and happily stepped forward to pick up a child: "Ninety-nine!" How did you get out? β
The little child who was replaced by Sisi had snot on his nose, his little face was red because of running, and his short hair was tied with two small tugs, which was a particularly cute little girl.
"Sister?" The child seemed to be a little confused, this person looked like her sister, but she was wearing boy's clothes.
"Ninety-nine! Don't talk to strangers! β
The older child caught up with her, and when he saw her being held by a stranger, he was very angry and stepped forward to grab Ladan's heart's hand: "You let go of my sister!" β
Lin Aqi looked at so many children, as if she had returned to the happy time when she bullied the children in Xilin Village, but these were Danxin's family members, although she had itchy hands, it was not easy to start.
So he stepped forward with a smile and hugged a child who looked thin and chased after him: "She's not a bad person, she's your Danxin sister!" β
"Danxin?"
The children were puzzled, who is Danxin?
Lin Aqi thought while taking out the candied fruit: "It's Sister Chunhua." β
Danxin had already put down Lao Jiu and smiled happily at everyone, the children were a little recognizable, but when they heard some familiar voices, they couldn't help but be happy: "Sister Chunhua!" β
"It's Sister Liuliu! Liuliu is back! β
The children swarmed around them, and Lin Archie suddenly felt that he was the king of children, so many little puddings were so cute!
Lin Aqi returned home with them, hired an errand runner to deliver the things to the house and received the reward and left, Lin Aqi opened the gift boxes one by one under the expectant eyes of many children, and took out the large and small gifts inside.
"Who's your boss here?"
Lin Aqi took out a brand-new dress, and the children were attracted and exclaimed: "What a beautiful little dress!" β
"I want it too, I want it too, I want it to ......"
Dan smiled shyly and explained to everyone: "This is my master, young lady, everyone should be respectful and don't make too much trouble." β
The children still listened to her, and immediately stood up one by one, looking at Lin Archie with extremely expectant eyes.
Lin Aqi distributed the gifts to everyone one by one, looking at their happy and happy appearances, he was also honored, leaning against the wall and smiling.
There was a little brother who was eating candied fruit, so sweet that he couldn't help but stomp his feet.
Lin Archie leaned closer to him: "Do you like it?" β
The little brother nodded straight, and said in a milky voice: "I like it!" Thank you big brother! β
Lin Aqi laughed, she almost forgot that she was a boy now.
Danxin's house is not big, except that the front is blocked by a partition, and a place for everyone to eat, and the back room is where a group of people sleep.
At this time, a long, wide, and wide table was surrounded by children of all sizes, Lin Aqi quietly counted them, only to find that there were only nine children, in addition to Danxin, where did the two children go?
Danxin obviously found out about this problem, but she was anxious on her face, and called her eldest brother to ask: "Yiyi, where did Sansan and Wuwu go?" β
Lin Archie also came over curiously, one by one was very thin, he looked like he was ten years old, but he didn't expect him to be sixteen.
One by one looked very sad, and pulled his sleeves for a long time before replying: "Daddy, those debt collectors have come to the door......"
Lin Archie's eyes widened, didn't he? Sold both again?
Before he could finish his sentence, Danxin's tears began to fall.
"It's selling girls again, are girls so worthless in the eyes of their father? Five-five is only six years old! β
Yiyi was also very sad: "But those people said that Wuwu is good-looking, and he will definitely be able to marry into a big family as a concubine in the future, and they promise to make Wuwu prosperous and rich in the second half of his life!" β
Lin Aqi was already on fire when he heard this, what is this called? It's obviously their useless father who sells the child to pay off the debt, how can this be a good excuse for the child?
"Where were they sold?"
Seeing that it was him, he didn't think about the nobleman who was hiding his heart, so he replied honestly: "Sansan and Wuwu were both sold to Renyazi, and after inquiring, I learned that they were all selected to study separately in the Teaching Workshop Division. β
Faculty Division......
Lin Aqi silently recalled what the master said in the past, once he entered the workshop, he was a lifelong prostitute, and his liver and intestines were pleasing to the people.
That place is said to be good to serve high-ranking officials and nobles, and avoid the suffering of ordinary flower buildings, but in the final analysis, without the identity of good citizens, they will be miserable for the rest of their lives.
Lin Aqi frowned tightly and thought about how to deal with it, but Dan's heart over there had already broken tears and laughed.
"Is it true?"
"Sister, of course it's true!" One by one, his eyebrows fluttered, "There are places where you can learn for free and find a good marriage, and it's too late for Daddy to be happy for them!" β
Archie Lin: ?
