"Let's go, let's go eat something delicious." Su Nuo'er was in a good mood and took Nian Xia to the teahouse.

Nian Xia asked, "Little ...... Childe, aren't we going home? You're going to enter the palace in a moment. ”

"There's no hurry." Su Nuo'er took Nian Xia directly to the private room on the second floor, waved her little hand, and ordered a lot of dishes and pastries.

Nian Xia was pressed by her to sit down, and said a little strangely: "Childe, how can we finish eating so many things?" ”

Su Nuo'er was just drinking tea, but her eyes kept paying attention to the movement downstairs.

Downstairs on the street, people come and go. Suddenly, a loud shout rang out: "Catch him!" Get him! ”

A little boy in shabby clothes quickly shuttled through the crowd, holding a steamed bun in his hand and stuffing it into his mouth as he ran.

Probably due to physical exhaustion, the little boy fell to the ground all of a sudden, and half of the steamed bun in his hand flew out at once, rolling on the ground a few times, covered with dust. The little boy was anxious to pick it up, but the steamed bun was trampled on by one foot.

"Little bunny, you run! Dare to steal Lao Tzu's steamed buns, you are impatient! A strong man grabbed the boy by the collar and punched him.

The little boy was dizzy from the beating, but his eyes were still staring at the half of the dirty steamed buns on the ground.

"Lose my steamed bun money! Or I'll kill you! The big man said fiercely, saying that he was going to fight again with his fist.

There were several layers of people around, and someone persuaded: "Forget it, he's so small, don't fight." ”

"Forget it?! You lose me money? Shut up if you don't give money! The big man said fiercely.

was so murderous by him, no one dared to persuade him anymore.

"Don't give money, right, follow me to the official!" The big man picked up the little boy like a chicken and was about to leave.

At this time, an ingot of ten taels of silver was delivered to the eyes of the big man.

It was Nian Xia who listened to Su Nuo'er's order to run down, Nian Xia said: "This strong man, my son-in-law said that this kid looks really pitiful, and ordered me to come down and pay him for the steamed buns, do you see enough?" ”

The big man's eyes stared at the silver in Nian Xia's hand, and he nodded hurriedly: "Enough, enough!" "It's not enough, it's just a lot of money.

"Then please let the strong man put him down." Nian Xia Dao.

"You're lucky!" The big man let go of the little boy with his hand, took the silver again, and then left.

The little boy still wanted to pick up the half of the steamed bun, but was pulled by Nian Xia. "Don't pick it up, it's already dirty."

"But I'm hungry." The little boy said that he had already picked up the steamed buns, and he was about to stuff them into his mouth without even looking at them.

Nian Xia snatched the dirty steamed bun, grabbed his hand and said, "Come with me." ”

Nian Xia took the little boy back to the private room on the second floor, and when she saw the food on the table that had not been moved, she understood what the young lady meant.

"Sit down." Su Nuo'er was very satisfied with Nian Xia's approach, and pointed to the stool next to her and motioned for the little boy to sit down.

The little boy was only eight or nine years old, and he stared at Su Nuo'er when he heard the words, and he was not afraid of life, but he didn't sit down.

"Hungry, these dishes are yours." Su Nuo'er pointed to the food on the table again.

The little boy looked at it and looked away, quietly swallowing his saliva. Cautiously asked, "Why are you helping me?" ”

"I've seen you several times, but I've been chased and beaten." Su Nuo'er secretly appreciated the little boy's concentration in her heart, and said, "Don't worry that I'm a bad person, I'll take you to my orphanage when you're full, there are many children about your age." ”

The little boy looked at Su Nuo'er again, and seemed to be sure that "he" was really not a bad person, and immediately sat down and gobbled it up.

I didn't even use chopsticks, I grabbed them with my hands, and I chewed them a few times until I couldn't stuff them in my mouth, and it seemed that I was really hungry.

"Don't eat too much, it's uncomfortable to eat too much at once, and you can take it with you if you can't eat it." Su Nuo'er filled a bowl of soup and pushed it over, and the little boy drank it when he picked it up, regardless of whether it was hot or not.

After eating another half plate of pastries, the little boy stopped.

"Thank you for giving me food."

Xu was full, the little boy's eyes revealed an inexplicable happiness, and the eyes that looked at Su Nuo'er were no longer suspicious and vigilant, but grateful.

"When you're hungry in the future, you'll have to rely on your own hands to earn food, not steal and rob, you know?" Su Nuo'er slowed down her voice and said, "You are still young, it's not terrible to make mistakes, it's terrible to make mistakes and not to change them, and you can't steal crookedly in the future, you know?" ”

The little boy nodded, "Got it." ”

At this time, Nian Xia called the guys in the store to come up, packed all the unfinished pastries and the few dishes that had not been moved, and added a few new meat dishes, and then took the little boy away.

Su Nuo'er's orphanage is in a farm yard more than ten miles away from the imperial city, a small farm yard, which looks inconspicuous.

You can push open the door and enter, and there are more than a dozen and a half children inside, the youngest is only three or four years old, and the oldest is only eleven or twelve years old.

Su Nuo'er had already left someone to take care of these children in the farmyard, and when she saw that Su Nuo'er came over in men's clothes, she was not surprised, and naturally said, "Su Gongzi is here." ”

"Well, I'll take a look at them." Su Nuo'er shouted, "Children, the king is back!" ”

As soon as they shouted, all the children in the house ran out, shouting, "The king is back, the king is back!" He surrounded Su Nuo'er with an excited face.

"Brother Su, you haven't come to see us for a long time!" An eight- or nine-year-old girl tightly grabbed the corner of Su Nuo'er's clothes and "complained", "Does my brother dislike us anymore?" ”

Su Nuo'er squatted down and pinched her face, and said with a smile: "How come, my brother likes Nini the most, my brother was so busy a few days ago, so I came to see you when I was free today." ”

The girl named Nini immediately laughed happily, holding Su Nuo'er's hand and refusing to let go of it again.

"Shhhh Su Nuo'er said mysteriously, "Shall I introduce you to a new little friend?" ”

Hearing her say this, the children immediately fell silent.

Nian Xia led the little boy forward and encouraged him to walk over by himself.

The little boy slowly walked up to Su Nuo'er, looking at the children around her, and a strange light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Su Nuo'er took his hand and introduced it to the children: "This is the little baby I just picked up today, he is the same as you, he was met by my brother after his luck." ”

"We're all my brother's treasures, is he?" A little boy of three or four years old asked in a milky voice.

"Yes, you are all gifts from heaven to my brother."

The little boy subconsciously grabbed Su Nuo'er's hand and tilted his head to look at Su Nuo'er's smiling face seriously.

It was the first time someone spoke to him so gently, and it was also the first time he heard someone say that he was a gift from heaven and not a wild child that no one wanted.

"By the way, what's your name?" Su Nuo'er turned her head to ask him.

The little boy shook his head and whispered, "I don't have a name." "Since he can remember, he has no parents, some are just scolded and mistreated by relatives, he was kicked out when he was eight years old, has been living on the streets, living by begging, and even grabbed something to eat with wild dogs, today he was hungry and couldn't stand it, so he went to steal a steamed bun to eat, who knew that he was chased and beaten, fortunately he met Su Nuo'er.

"That's right," Su Nuo'er pondered for a while, then said, "Then you are called Nianbai, right?" Reading white and reading white, reading is the thought of faith, and white is innocent and innocent, that is, you will be a good person who is innocent and upright in the future. ”

"You can familiarize yourself with this place in the next few days, and I'll come back in a few days, and I'll teach you how to write, so that you can know your name." Su Nuo'er pinched Nianbai's face and smiled.

The little boy, that is, Nianbai, was a little stunned and said, "I have a name?" ”

"Yes, yes, you, like us, are the names given by your brother, and from today onwards you will also be surnamed Su." A little girl said, "My name is Su Bao'er, and my brother says I'm his big baby!" Su Bao'er's words were full of pride.

Nian Bai turned his head and asked seriously, "Brother, what am I?" ”

Su Nuo'er couldn't help laughing, touched his head and said, "You, like her, are my big baby." ”

Nianbai showed a smile at this time.

"Xuanxuan, you are the elder brother, take Brother Nianbai to take a bath and change clothes, okay?" Su Nuo'er handed Nianbai to a boy named Xuanxuan, and instructed, "I'm going to leave in a while, you have to take care of him today, and he will sleep with you at night, this is a task, and there is a reward for completing it!" ”

Xuan Xuan immediately nodded and said energetically: "I promise to complete my brother's task!" ”

"I'll give you more food at noon, be good, and my brother will come to see you in a few days, okay?"

"Good!" The children replied in unison, although they were a little reluctant to Su Nuo'er, but they didn't stick to him sensibly.

Su Nuo'er handed the food basket containing meals and pastries to the woman on the side, and instructed: "Qiuyue, the weather is a little cold these days, you pay attention, don't let them catch a cold." ”

The woman called Qiuyue immediately nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Childe." ”

Qiu Yue was originally a maid in Su Nuo'er's Liuli Courtyard, her kung fu was good, and she was heartfelt to her, so Su Nuo'er sent her here to take care of these children, in addition to Qiu Yue, there were two people, one was called Donglan, and the other was called Dongqing. These two people are brother and sister, and they followed her once they were rescued by her, Donglan is serious and delicate, Dongqing is down-to-earth and loyal, and Su Nuoer is very relieved of these three people.

Coming out of the orphanage, Su Nuo'er took Nian Xia back to the imperial city.

On the way, Nian Xia finally couldn't help but sigh: "If the world knew that Miss was so kind-hearted, there would never be anyone who said that Miss was domineering." ”

Su Nuo'er smiled, "Why do you want them to know?" People don't live for others to see. ”

"But Miss's kindness is incomparable to others, Nian Xia is just suddenly a little upset for Miss." Nian Xia Dao.

Su Nuo'er was still smiling, but she shook her head and said, "Is adopting those children kindness?" ”

Nian Xia nodded earnestly and nodded again.

Su Nuo'er smiled and stopped talking, and closed her eyes gently.

She was an orphan before she crossed over.

When I was a child, I grew up on the help of neighbors and relatives, and I studied hard when I was in school, just to get a scholarship so that I could ask for a little less money with my relatives. The life under the fence was not easy, but fortunately, her relatives and family did not treat her harshly, until she graduated from college, she became famous by writing books, and she slowly saved money to buy her own house.

The day she got the key to the house was the happiest and happiest day she had lived for more than 20 years. Just because the house gives her a sense of security and allows her to have a home of her own.

Later, inexplicably crossing here, she saw so many little beggars living on the streets, and she thought of her modern self, a small person carrying a schoolbag all over the street to pick up plastic bottles, just to save it for a few dollars to save secretly, fantasizing that one day when she has saved enough money, she will buy a house of her own.

Memories are memories after all, and no matter how nostalgic she is for modern life, she can't go back.

Su Nuo'er sighed slightly and opened her eyes.

Coincidentally, when the carriage arrived in front of the General's Mansion, she heard Su Mo's voice outside the carriage, and Su Nuo'er hurriedly got out of the carriage.

"It's back." Su Mo frowned and said, "Why are you dressed like this again?" ”

Su Nuo'er hurriedly ran into the door, threw down the sentence "I'll go change clothes" and ran away.

Su Mo shook her head helplessly, so she had to stand at the door and wait for her. It's just that the brow has never been soothed. He's worried. ――I just heard the news that the second princess of Huailiang Kingdom has arrived in advance......
