Chapter 168: Orphans
Qin Yiming walked out of the Forbidden City, just waiting outside the Donghua Gate of the Imperial City, waited for a long time without seeing anyone, and was about to leave, when he suddenly saw a small figure hiding under a tree in the distance.
"Hey, who's that? I'm here, I'm here. ”
Qin Yiming looked for a sound, isn't this the little princess, wearing the clothes of a little palace maid at this time, but Qin Yiming still recognized it at a glance.
"Princess, Weichen's name is Qin Yiming, you can call me Lord Qin! Of course, for the sake of safety, it's better for you to call me Brother Qin outside, and I'll call you Little Sister, how about it? Hey. Although she was taken advantage of, the little girl didn't know it and nodded very happily.
"Well, I know, you are the martial artist who defeated the Mongolian warriors, Lord Qin, then let's go, your duty today is to accompany me for a day."
"Princess, how did you get out of this palace land?" Qin Yiming was very curious.
"It's not simple, such a big yard, there are always loopholes, I came out of the dog hole, I'm smart, hehe."
“......”
"Where does the princess want to go? This capital is too big. ”
"Where is the more fun?" The little princess had no idea, and looked at Qin Yiming with an inquiring gaze.
"Then go to East Street, Mingzhaofang, Renshoufang, and Clarification Fang are all very prosperous over there, and there are rock sugar gourds, princess, you must like to eat them."
"Yes, yes!"
Qin Yiming took the little princess out of Dong'anmen, and soon arrived at Shochu Hutong, which was very prosperous, with many shops, people coming and going on the street, and all kinds of commodities were also dazzling, the little princess was dazzled and happy, the little princess was strung around, Qin Yiming followed behind, feeling very difficult, and ran around with this little girl this morning.
Although you are a princess, Qin Yiming really has the feeling that Grandma Liu has entered the Grand View Garden, hey, the child of the emperor's family, pitiful.
"Hey, hey, dead girl, in broad daylight, you actually steal something, how can it be reasonable, you are not afraid that the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division will arrest you!" A small self-employed person holds the tender hand of the little princess, who holds a round transparent glass in her hand.
Qin Yiming just made a sloppy eye, and the little princess got into trouble, it seemed that she just took someone else's things and left, without paying.
"Where did I steal it?"
"The dead girl still wants to deny it, take my things and leave, not steal anything, you dead girl with a father and no mother!"
"You said I stole your things, and I stole them without knowing it, did I take it in front of you?"
"yes!"
"Is that still stealing? It's your blessing that I like what I like about you, and I naturally want to take it away when I like it! Why, you still don't want to? ”
The man was short-circuited by the logic of the little princess, and he didn't react at once, and said, "You don't give me money for things, and you still have a good word, either stealing or ...... Rob. "When the boss said that he was a little hesitant to grab words, he was just a teenager, but the next sentence of the little princess made the little self-employed almost vomit blood.
"No, I have to pay you for something?" The little princess asked solemnly.
"You, where did you come from, wild child, Lao Tzu will teach you a good lesson for your father!" The boss was angry, and without saying much, he took the little princess's hand and began to snatch the glass-like thing in her hand.
"Stop." Qin Yiming made a timely move, grabbed the little boss's collar, and easily lifted the man up with one hand, his feet hanging in the air, and his face turned pale with fright.
"A good man spares his life, a good man spares his life."
"I'm the ...... This little sister doesn't understand the world, and she doesn't know how much money it costs to buy things, how much is your glass mirror, and I will pay for her. Qin Yiming asked.
"Yes, yes, yes." The man nodded in fright, and was only then put down by Qin Yiming, and when his feet touched the ground, he said with a smile: "Guest officer, your little sister has vicious eyes, this is a diorama imported from the foreign domain, it's amazing." Since I have a relationship with the girl, then I will sell it cheaply, one hundred taels. ”
"What? One hundred taels, this is a hundred taels of broken glass lenses? Qin Yiming asked in disbelief.
"One hundred taels is one hundred taels, Qin ....... Big brother, you can give a hundred taels. ”
"It's too expensive, little sister of the Zhu family!" Qin Yiming was not happy.
"It's an order!" The little princess said angrily.
Qin Yiming pretended not to hear it, and looked around, one hundred taels is not a small amount.
"It's a big deal that I owe you a personal favor, and I'll pay you back in the future!" The little princess pleaded, and her tone was much kinder.
"It's pretty much the same, remember to pay me back in the future, otherwise you owe me a favor, and it's not easy to repay the debt of favors!" Qin Yiming said as he took out a hundred taels of silver tickets distressedly.
"Got it, got it, long-winded. I've been shopping all morning, I'm hungry, let's find a place to eat, I haven't eaten anything outside. The little princess began to make demands again.
"I've been shopping all morning, why don't I send you home first, I'm afraid this outside stuff won't suit your appetite." Qin Yiming wanted to get rid of this little burden as soon as possible.
The little princess was about to refute, when she suddenly saw a few officials of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses on the street in front of her who were driving away a few little beggars on the street.
"Get out, get out, this is the East City, not a place for you little beggars, go back to the West City."
"Official, we are all orphans, we are here to eat, let's stay for a while, and we will leave when we are ready."
"No, no, get out of here! Don't force Lao Tzu to be rude. ”
The little princess saw that a few children were being bullied, and she couldn't stand it, so she stepped forward to uphold justice and reprimanded a few little officials: "Hey, you guys are too bullying, this is the emperor's world, why don't they ask for food in Dongcheng?" ”
The leader of the leader saw that a child dared to teach them such a lesson, and was about to reprimand, Qin Yiming stood up in time and said: "In the lower Qin Yiming, Huguang Xingdu stayed behind to command the affairs, this is me...... Little sister, abrupt place, forgive a lot. ”
"Qin Yiming? That Qin Yiming, who defeated the Mongols? Hehe, it turned out to be Qin Juren, it's okay, it's okay. "That official is still very face-saving, as soon as he heard that it was Qin Yiming, he immediately became kind.
"Hey, you haven't answered me yet!" The little princess does not give up.
"Hey, Lord Qin, we also follow the instructions, this Donghua Gate is East Street, this Donghua Gate is the palace gate for the Chinese Wu ministers to enter and exit, the former Shoufu Lord Wen Tiren once gave an order to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, this East Street does not allow those undignified people to treat, so as not to affect the mood of these adults, although this Lord Wen has been deposed, but this system has been retained." The officer explained.
Qin Yiming nodded, it turns out that this is the case, this East Street is indeed the most active place for those officials.
"Then Xihuamen is still the palace gate where princes and nobles enter and exit, how can Xicheng be?" The little princess was indignant.
"Hehe, this ......" the official was speechless.
"You guys, why did you come to East Street to beg for food, is it different to beg for food on West Street?"
The little beggar knew that Qin Yiming was an official, and replied timidly: "There are too many little beggars on West Street, it's not good to want, we haven't eaten for a few days, and we can't be hungry, so we took the risk to come to East Street." ”
"Haven't eaten in a few days? A few of you, I met my father-in-law today...... This girl, count you lucky, this girl invites you to a big meal, Brother Qin, you pay! ”
"Yes, yes, this young lady is really a kind person." When the little beggars heard that there was something to eat, they jumped for joy.
"Let's go, follow me to find the best restaurant to eat." The little princess is like a mountain king at this time.
"Lord Qin, I'm afraid this won't work." The officials were very embarrassed.
"Little sister, let's take a few of them to find a restaurant on West Street, the restaurant on West Street is the best!"
"Really?"
"Yes! It's true. Qin Yiming nodded against his will.
"Okay!"
Qin Yiming took a few children to a restaurant on West Street and ordered a few dishes for them, and the children began to eat nonsense, and the little princess saw that the little beggars were eating and called it fragrant, so she had a big appetite and followed to eat.
"Brother Hou, what do you think I should do? There are more and more orphans in this western city, and I am afraid that they will all starve to death if they continue like this. A voice came from the box behind Qin Yiming.
"Brother Liu, this matter is really difficult to do, there are so many orphans, I don't know how to deal with them, these are all those hateful Tartars, if they didn't attack the Gyeonggi capital, how could so many orphans become beggars."
Hou Fangyu? This voice was like Hou Fangyu's voice.
"Is it Brother Hou?" Qin Yiming knocked on the door twice and asked in a low voice.
Soon the door of the box opened, and what appeared in front of Qin Yiming was indeed Hou Fangyu, and Hou Fangyu was also shocked and surprised.
"Isn't this Lord Qin? What a coincidence, I wanted to invite Lord Qin to eat and drink last time, but then it was mixed up, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, why don't we sit together today and have a drink? ”
"Okay." As soon as he said drinking, Qin Yiming forgot about Princess Changping.
"Let me introduce, this is Liu Yichong, the commander of the Xicheng Soldiers and Horses Division, the eldest son of Lord Liu Yuliang in the cabinet, and this is the famous Lord Qin Yiming Qin." Hou Fangyu introduced.
"Look up for a long time!" Liu Yichong seemed to be very interested in Qin Yiming, and got up and clenched his fists.
As soon as Qin Yiming sat down and was about to start drinking, the little princess came in with a few little beggars, and said angrily: "Hmph, what about the eldest brother, you eat delicious food here, don't care about us?" ”
"Aren't you eating outside? You children, it's not interesting for me to share the table with you, so I'll come over, why are you full? ”
"Not full!"
"Then go ahead and eat!"
"I'm done eating!"
“......”
"Lord Qin, who are these people?" Liu Yichong was very curious.
"Oh, this is ...... My little sister, the others are a few little beggars I met on East Street today, and when I saw that they were pitiful, I brought them over for some dinner. ”
"Oh, then let them come and eat at the same table, just as the outside is finished."
"Okay."
"We were still worried about this matter just now, hey!"
"What's the matter?"
"It's a homeless orphan thing!"
