After leaving the house, Ye Chuqing first opened her arms and spun around a few times, took a deep breath of free air, and then ran wildly laughing. It's like a happy bird flying into the free sky.

Liuxue and Qiaorong glanced at each other, and also ran to chase Ye Chuqing.

Several people arrived on the main street of the capital. Because this is the main street of the capital, it is particularly prosperous. Restaurants and inns are full of people, teahouses and restaurants are full of people, and even the stalls of snacks and snacks are very lively.

In addition, there are many shops. Most of the women who came in and out of the silk cloth village garment store were women. The shops of rouge gouache and headdresses and jade are mostly the daughters of noble ladies and large families. There are also all kinds of stalls next to the street, such as clay people, candy blowers, steamed buns, vegetarian hairpins, vegetable sellers, and sugar gourd sellers...... In short, it has everything and is dazzling.

Ye Chuqing and Qiao Rong ran to this stall for a while to take a look, and then ran to that shop to have a look, and they had a lot of fun. Liuxue carried the sword and made a pretty face, and followed the two of them closely, for fear that something would happen.

On the way, they met a little girl, about seven or eight years old, dressed in tatters, with a basket hanging from her arm to sell flowers. The flower seemed to be a wildflower, and there was still sparkling dew on the petals, and a fragrant fragrance was refreshing when it walked by.

Ye Chuqing stared at the little girl for a long time, and found that the little girl grabbed a person on the street and begged to buy her flowers, looking anxious, Ye Chuqing felt that the little girl should have something urgent. So he took out a piece of silver and ran to the little girl.

The little girl was first startled by the sudden appearance of a piece of silver in front of her, and looked up at the beautiful hand, and standing in front of her was a handsome little brother.

The little girl stammered and refused to take the money. Ye Chuqing looked impatient, and stretched her hand forward again: "Take it!" ”

The little girl took a step back in fright, shook her head, and said softly, "Little brother, there is too much silver...... I don't have enough flowers! ”

Ye Chuqing was stunned, looked at the finger-sized piece of silver in his hand, turned around and quietly asked Qiao Rong behind him: "How much is this silver?" ”

Qiaorong looked at Ye Chuqing with a strange expression, and only after a while did he spit out two words faintly: "One or two!" ”

"Ahem!" Ye Chuqing rolled her eyes, turned to the little girl and said, "Then how do you sell your flowers?" How many do you have? ”

The little girl timidly replied: "Three flowers for a penny!" I only have thirty here. ”

Ye Chuqing thought about it, then turned her head and asked Qiao Rong quietly: "How much is one or two pieces of silver exchanged?" ”

Qiao Rong's face became even more strange when he heard this, "Girl, why don't you even know the silver?" ”

Ye Chuqing said angrily: "Less nonsense!" Say it! ”

Qiao Rong said helplessly: "One tael of silver can be exchanged for a thousand copper plates, that is, a thousand Wen." Ordinary people mostly use copper coins, and ordinary families only use two taels of silver a year! ”

"It's only two taels a year?" Ye Chuqing was surprised: "That's poor enough!" ”

Qiao Rong was speechless. You think everyone is as rich as you! Qiaorong slandered in her heart, but no matter how bold she was, she didn't dare to say it.

Ye Chuqing thought for a while, walked over and said to the little girl: "I don't have any change on me, but I like your flowers, I am willing to buy them all, would you like to go to the money bank with me?" I'll give it to you when I change it? ”

The little girl's eyes widened in surprise when she heard this: "Little brother, are you telling the truth?" Do you want to buy them all? ”

Ye Chuqing nodded and said, "Naturally, it's true." Don't you want to sell? ”

The little girl nodded hurriedly: "Yes, of course I am willing to sell." ”

Ye Chuqing nodded and was about to leave, when she suddenly looked back at the thin little girl who was following behind her, thought about it and instructed Qiaorong: "Ah Rong, I'm hungry, why don't we have lunch and leave?" After that, he turned to the little girl and said, "Okay, little sister?" ”

The little girl nodded busily: "Little brother is hungry, let's go eat first!" I can wait! ”

Ye Chuqing looked at Qiao Rong again, Qiao Rong also nodded, and said, "Aunt...... When Childe was hungry, he went to eat first. However, where does Childe go to eat? ”

Ye Chuqing looked back and forth, and said, "Just go back to the Taste Pavilion." He also instructed Qiao Rong: "You go to the money village to help me exchange the silver, and when you come back, you will go to the Huiwei Pavilion to find us." After that, he handed over the silver ticket of one hundred taels to Qiao Rong.

Qiao Rong replied and left with the silver ticket. Ye Chuqing turned her head and saw that the little girl looked at Qiaorong's hand holding the silver ticket with envy, but there was no greed in her eyes.

Ye Chuqing felt even more pity for this little girl in her heart, and said, "Let's go!" Then he walked to the front and went to the Aftertaste Pavilion. Drift Snow followed her. The little girl stood there and thought for a long time, and finally followed from a distance.

When she was about to arrive at the Aftertaste Pavilion, Ye Chuqing deliberately slowed down her pace and let the little girl follow behind her.

Xiao Er, who was standing at the door to greet the guests, saw Ye Chuqing dressed brightly and had a noble temperament, so he hurriedly came out and nodded to Ye Chuqing and said, "Son, please." ”

Ye Chuqing let out a soft "um" and walked inside. But he didn't see the little girl standing at the door, and he didn't dare to follow.

The little second saw the little girl standing at the door, but she was in tatters, and she frowned and went over to rush people: "Go and go, go and beg for food elsewhere, don't stay here and affect our business." ”

The little girl's face was flushed by what he said, but she only dared to defend in a low voice: "I...... I'm not a beggar for food. ”

As soon as she walked into the door of the Aftertaste Pavilion, Ye Chuqing heard Xiao Er's words, stopped, turned around and walked out again, stood at the door and asked, "Little Second Brother, why are you bullying a little girl so much?" ”

The little two smiled flatteringly: "Childe, go in quickly, don't care about this little Hanako." ”

The little girl's voice was a little louder this time, and she retorted: "I'm not asking for food, I'm selling flowers." ”

Xiao Er squinted at the little girl with a sarcastic expression: "Look at your tattered and dirty appearance, if you don't ask for food, you are also a poor ghost!" Go, go up! ”

At this time, there was a large group of people watching the excitement at the entrance of the Aftertaste Pavilion, and most of them were indignant when they heard Xiao Er's words. You must know that the stalls that run the business here are all people who are not very good at life. Xiao Er's words not only insulted the little girl, but also insulted all the poor people.

The little girl's eyes were red at what he said, but she stubbornly did not cry.

Ye Chuqing sneered and asked, "Little second brother, you said she was a poor ghost, so you are very rich?" You're a rich man, aren't you? ”

Xiao Er hurriedly smiled and said, "How can the little one be rich?" Childe, you are the rich man! ”

Ye Chuqing clapped her hands funny and said, "In that case, why do you say that she is a poor ghost?" ”

Before Xiao Er could speak, Ye Chuqing continued: "No matter how poor she is, she didn't come to your house to eat and drink yours, right?" She also supports herself by selling flowers, why should you insult others? ”

Xiao Er was stunned for a while, and he didn't understand why this rich young man would speak for a poor girl.

At this time, Qiao Rong came back and handed her a bag: "Childe, this is not far from SF Money Bank, I exchanged all the silver tickets for silver." Look, oh, and a tael of silver for copper. ”

Ye Chuqing took the money bag and beckoned to the little girl, "Little sister, come here." ”

The little girl walked up to Ye Chuqing, Ye Chuqing grabbed a large handful of copper coins and handed them to her, and said to the little two: "Since you look down on the poor so much, then let this poor ghost in your mouth hit you with money today, so that you can remember today's lesson." No matter how poor others are, they still have their own personality and dignity, which cannot be insulted by anyone casually. ”

Xiao Er was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, Ye Chuqing smiled: "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer in vain." Wait a minute, don't move, let her hit you with money, as long as you hit your money, I will reward you. ”

Xiao Er looked at Ye Chuqing in a daze, and suddenly realized that this good-looking little boy ...... It's terrible!

Ye Chuqing saw that the little girl was slow to move, so she asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The little girl looked at him timidly and hesitated, "I...... I don't dare ......."

Ye Chuqing patted the little girl's shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, it's okay." You can rest assured and let him know that even if you are a poor ghost, you have human dignity and he has no right to insult you! Besides, I'm afraid he still wants you to smash it! ”

The little girl looked at Ye Chuqing, then at Xiao Er who was kneeling in front of her, gritted her teeth, took out a copper coin and threw it over.

Because the little girl didn't use much strength, the copper coin fell after touching Xiao Er's head.

Ye Chuqing instructed Qiao Rong: "Ah Rong, you go and get back the ones that didn't hit, and leave the ones that hit them to the little second brother!" ”

"Yes!" Qiao Rong answered, and walked over to wait.

After the little girl smashed it, she didn't hesitate anymore, and beckoned to Xiao Er's head one after another. The onlookers applauded one by one.

After smashing a hundred copper plates, the little girl said that she would not smash anything, Ye Chuqing also stopped, and Qiaorong came back and counted the copper coins she had picked up, a total of forty-six, and the remaining fifty-four were in the little second-hand. It seems that Xiao Er was smashed fifty-four times, and there are still a lot of red marks on his face, as if he has also been greeted a lot on his face. But Xiao Er held the copper coin in his hand and smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into a slit.

Ye Chuqing pointed at Xiao Er and said, "Okay, you get up." ”

Xiao Er hurriedly stood up and ran to Ye Chuqing to thank him constantly: "Xie Gongzi rewarded!" Mr. Xie ......"

Ye Chuqing said with a straight face: "I just want to teach you a lesson today, I want you to remember that you can't insult others casually in the future." Learn to respect people. Respect for others is respect for yourself, do you understand? ”

"Understood, understood," Xiao Er nodded busily in agreement: "Little one understands." ”

At this time, a middle-aged man walked out and said to Xiao Er: "Xiao Gongzi is right, you have to remember Xiao Gongzi's words, respect for others is respect for yourself!" ”

Xiao Er nodded hurriedly and agreed: "Yes, yes, I remember!" No more swearing! ”

"Well, let's get back to work!" The middle-aged man waved Xiao Er back to the store, and said to the onlookers outside: "Everyone, let's disperse!" ”

When the onlookers saw that everything was fine, they all walked away one by one.

Ye Chuqing looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and asked, "Are you the boss here?" You've been watching all along, haven't you? I thought you'd come out and help your buddy! ”

The middle-aged man smiled and arched his hand to Ye Chuqing, and said, "My surname is Han, and I am the shopkeeper here." Shicai also wanted to come out and reprimand Xiao Er, but I didn't want my son to teach him a lesson, so I didn't come forward again. ”

Ye Chuqing asked him again: "Then do you blame me for teaching the people in your store a lesson?" ”

Shopkeeper Han smiled: "Where, where!" The most important thing in our business is reputation, and harmony is precious. Childe's move is very good in the next. Saying that, he made a "please" gesture for Ye Chuqing: "Childe, please come in." ”

Ye Chuqing followed the shopkeeper in, and then turned around and ordered, "Ah Rong, bring that little sister in too." Then he went in with the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, since you also know that your little second is wrong, why do you still use him?" Ye Chuqing was a little puzzled. What else do you want him to do with such a bad guy? Just fry the squid.

Shopkeeper Han shook his head helplessly and explained: "Childe doesn't know, Ah Hai is also a hard-working child. He's a distant cousin of mine. When he was eight years old, his hometown was hit by a disaster, and his parents and sisters died, leaving him alone, fleeing the famine with his fellow villagers at a young age. But natural disasters are merciless, and how many are spared? At last they fled to a town, and they were so hungry that the boys went to a rich man's house to steal food, but they were caught. Several of their children were beaten, and Ah Hai was injured in the head at that time, so he ...... Alas, when they fled here, Ah Hai was dying. I took them in and asked the doctor to treat Ah Hai, but he delayed too long, and he was not cured after all. So sometimes he's sober, sometimes he's confused. ”

Ye Chuqing nodded clearly, and asked again, "You took all of them in?" ”

Shopkeeper Han shook his head and said, "When they fled here, only Ah Hai and the other three boys were left, and one of them was still holding a half-year-old girl. They said that the little girl's father died, and her mother also died of illness in the middle of the road, and gave the baby to them before she died. I heard that many old and weak women and children died along the way, starved to death, died of illness, committed suicide, and many were lost on the way. Only a few of them fled to the capital with the little girl in their arms. ”

Ye Chuqing listened, and suddenly felt heavy. Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs. The saints are unkind, and they use the people as dogs. In such a feudal society, the most miserable people are always the poor who have no identity and no rights.

Thinking about it, Ye Chuqing turned his head to look at the few guys in the running hall and asked, "Are they all here?" ”

Shopkeeper Han naturally knew that she was asking about the children who had fled, so he nodded and said, "The four boys are all working with me, and I took that girl back home to be my daughter's playmate." Now I'm seven years old. ”

Ye Chuqing looked at the shopkeeper Han with admiration: "Uncle, you are really a good person!" ”

Shopkeeper Han led Ye Chuqing upstairs, led her into a private room, and said with a smile: "The world is like this, we can only do our best." ”

Ye Chuqing sat down by the window, turned her head and saw Liuxue Qiaorong and the little girl standing at the door, so she beckoned and shouted, "What are you standing there for?" Come and sit! ”

Qiao Rong Liuxue had long been accustomed to Ye Chuqing's casualness, so she walked over and sat next to Ye Chuqing.

The little girl was a little cramped, and when she heard Ye Chuqing's words, she waved her hand again and again: "No, no, I'll just wait!" ”

Ye Chuqing didn't bother to say anything more, and only glanced at Qiaorong. Qiaorong stood up and walked over, and pulled the little girl over and sat beside him: "My son-in-law will let you sit on it!" This is my son-in-law who wants to invite you to dinner! ”

"Huh? Excuse me? The little girl was a little overwhelmed.

"Of course!" Qiaorong nodded affirmatively.

Ye Chuqing saw that the shopkeeper Han was about to go out, so he stopped him: "Uncle, you also come and sit, let's chat!" ”

Shopkeeper Han nodded with a smile and sat opposite Ye Chuqing.

At this time, a guy came in to pour tea, and the shopkeeper Han instructed him: "Go to the box behind the counter and bring my treasured Longjing before the rain." I have a fate with this little boy, and today I will taste this dragon well before the rain with the little boy. ”

"Six more of your famous dishes and one more soup." Ye Chuqing was also busy ordering.

"Okay!" Xiao Er responded happily and hurriedly went out to prepare.
