Chapter 59: I'm going to play a beggar

I entered the city gate with Xuan Feilun without any problems, and the sight in front of me shocked me again. Before us was a wide, straight street paved with stone slabs, forty or fifty zhang wide, on which four or five carriages could gallop without fear. The streets are lined with two neat rows of houses and shops, as if they were all built at the same time, and I have to admire the rigor of the city. The eyes are full of cornices and arches, gilded copper tiles. The afterglow of the twilight sunset sprinkled on the pavilion and hall of Zhu Yongbiwa, adding a bit of hazy poetry to the solemn Yong'an City in front of him. I seem to be able to see a group of splendid buildings, looking down on me at the end of this street, and at the same time looking down on the people of Yong'an City, and even more down at the thousands of people of Daqin.

Yes! This is the capital, and this is the pride of all the people of Great Qin.

After I sighed, I walked towards the road pointed by the shopkeeper, and sure enough, there were more beggars on the side of the road, dressed in tattered clothes, all unkempt, carrying broken bowls, and begging for passers-by.

I walked up to a little beggar, who was about ten years old, probably thin because he didn't have enough to eat, and I asked, "Little friend, may I ask you something?" ”

The little beggar stretched out a small, dirty hand and looked at me pitifully.

He's asking me for something, right? Well, I thought it didn't cost money to ask a beggar about something, but I forgot the nature of a beggar. I spread my hands and looked at him pitifully with my lips pouted, indicating that I had no money.

The little beggar was unmoved, still looking at me pitifully.

I finally compromised, "Wheels, give me two copper plates." ”

Xuan Feilun looked at me suspiciously, as if to say: When have you been so generous. However, he still took out two copper plates according to his words. I took two copper plates and gave them to the child, "Little friend, this is for you, I'll ask you ......"

Before I could say anything, the boy grabbed the money and shouted, "Come on, everyone, there are two rich and nice people here......

As soon as the little beggar's voice fell, a large wave of ragged beggars gathered at us, as if they were going to eat us. I was so scared that I pulled the flywheel and ran away.

Finally escaping the clutches of the beggars, I stopped breathlessly. Well, I haven't asked yet, and I took two dollars for nothing, which is too cost-effective. No, I can't just do that, I have to earn it back.

Xuan Feilun looked at me with a black face, "What are you doing here?" What do you ask them for? ”

"Nothing. I just want to ask the capital where it is the most fun. Who knew that these beggars were so crazy that they actually grabbed money. Wheels, we can't just count it that way! ”

Xuan Feilun frowned, and said with a cold face: "You won't let me snatch it back from that little beggar again." I won't do such a shameful thing! ”

I laughed, "Whoever said they were going to get it back, I have better attention." ”

Xuan Feilun asked curiously, "What idea?" ”

"I'm going to play a beggar!"

Xuan Feilun didn't seem to hear it, and asked again: "What did you say?" ”

"I said that if we pretend to be beggars and beg like them, we will not only earn it back, but we will also make a lot of money."

Xuan Feilun glared at me as if he was looking at a monster, "You can think of this idea!" Forget it, I don't need you to pay back this money! ”

I laughed and said, "I really don't have to pay it back!" Looking at Xuan Feilun and nodded, I immediately said, "That's it!" Even if you don't have to pay it back, you have to pretend to be a beggar! ”

There's a reason why I insist on pretending to be a beggar, and I want to see if I can find out any news by becoming a beggar, and earn some money to spend by the way.

Seeing Xuan Feilun shaking his head reluctantly, I persuaded: "Wheel, you have never experienced the life of a poor person since you were a child, right?" ”

Xuan Feilun looked at me vigilantly and did not answer.

I shook my head, looking like you were really not suffering in the world, "You can't understand how we poor people live." Our life is not easy, we don't have enough food and clothing, and we have to work next to our stomachs. These beggars are even more miserable than those of us who are poor, they have no clothes to wear, no food to eat, no place to live, they have no choice but to beg without dignity, and they are ...... by the cold eyes of the world."

Xuan Feilun looked at me for a long time and sighed, "Okay, don't say it, can't I pretend!" ”

Xuan Feilun, a boy who has never had a hard life since he was a child, would agree to be a beggar this time, it's funny. Xuan Feilun didn't agree to pick up other people's dirty clothes to wear, so we had to tear the clothes on our bodies to pieces, and rolled in the mud a few times, making a mess of our hair.

I dragged the reluctant Xuanfei wheel back to the place I had just been. This time, no beggars came up to us and asked us for money, but they looked at us very unkindly, as if we had robbed them of their jobs. Passers-by watched us all walking around with their noses covered, and a little white face scolded "Stinky beggar!" ”

Xuan Feilun glared at the little white face, and the little white face scolded contemptuously: "What's wrong with scolding you, stinky beggar, stinky beggar!" ”

Xuan Feilun raised his hand to teach the blind thing a lesson. I grabbed him, "Don't forget, we're beggars, he's right!" Xuan Feilun took away the right hand that had been stretched out, snorted coldly, and continued to walk towards the Yuelao Temple.

"Scolding you stinky beggar, what's wrong? Do you still want to hit someone? I don't look like you, and scold you for looking up to you......" The little white face still scolded and grinned.

"Oops!" The little white face that didn't open its eyes suddenly fell to the ground with a "plop", and he couldn't get up for a long time. I knew that it was Xuan Feilun who secretly taught that person a lesson with a stone. The Xuan Feilun is extremely fast, and no one can see it except me.

I covered my mouth and laughed, I deserved it, who made you so blind, dare to offend the "invincible flywheel"!

"Who, who dares to sneak up on me? It's not crooked! If you let the master find out, you will be broken into thousands of pieces! The little white face that didn't open his eyes was still scolding there, and we ignored him and continued on our way.

I wanted to go into the Yuelao Temple to have a look, but it turned out that we couldn't get in at all, there were beggars inside and outside the temple, and these beggars seemed to be in a group, and they were all very unfriendly to us.

We had to squat in a corner and put a broken bowl in front of us, and of course this broken bowl was also picked up. We stayed in the corner until it got dark, and no one forgot to throw money in our bowls. I don't sigh, it turns out that beggars are so difficult to be!

Although it didn't make as much money as we would have liked. But I heard a lot of scandalous anecdotes, and it was not for nothing. For example, that big official is afraid of his wife, whose chicken is less because so-and-so stole it, whose mother-in-law stole the man again, and who did something bad. It's just a few short and trivial things in the parents.

In addition, a ballad was heard; The people in Yong'an City can't offend two people. A prime minister Hua Tianming, a general Ye Changqing.

is talking about the two most powerful people in the capital besides the royal family. One is Ye Changqing, the general who protects the country, I heard that this General Ye is the uncle of the current emperor, who leads the millions of troops of Great Qin; The other is Prime Minister Hua Tianming, who commands the civil and military officials of the Great Qin State, but it is said that "one person is below ten thousand people." "I heard that this flower prime minister is the uncle of King Yu. It is said that the people in General Ye's Mansion and Prime Minister Hua's Mansion are people that all the ordinary people in the capital would never dare to offend.
