In the envious eyes of the children in Qi'er Lane, the little girl who was not yet ten years old was taken away.

They didn't know who the two men were or what they were going to take her for.

Even if they are sold to the tooth shop, as a servant for a large family, or even sold to a place for fireworks such as a green house, it is already an excellent place for the children in Beggar's Alley.

After all, it is a cold winter wax moon, and there will be a little snow in the sky from time to time.

Just because they have a wall-to-wall roll in Beggar's Alley doesn't mean they're willing to stay in this place.

From ancient times to the present, many times more people die in winter than usual.

But if they can go to a place with tiles to shelter from the rain, it means that they have a much better chance of living until the beginning of spring, so no matter where they are taken, they are willing.

Outside the alley.

The girl followed behind Li Chengqian and Cheng Chumo with some restraint, not daring to even take half a step closer.

Although the two men were dressed in ordinary clothes, no different from those civilians on the side of the road, the passers-by would not have just sent a piece of bread just to ask them about something.

You know, under normal circumstances, just this piece of bread is enough for her to eat all day!

"What are you doing hiding behind? Is it too cold? ”

Li Chengqian's mind was more detailed than Cheng Chumo's, and he noticed that something was wrong with the girl, so he waved at Cheng Chumo:

"Chu Mo, is there any place around here that sells ready-to-wear clothes, hurry up and make her a thicker one. Since you have decided to be the first to bring this kid over, you can't let that kid from Sunrise think that we are slamming the door! ”

That's right, the child in front of them is the first student they are going to take back to Lu Heng!

It stands to reason that you can't find a girl when looking for a student, especially if it's such a young girl.

However, before leaving, Li Chengqian specifically asked Lu Heng if he had any requirements for students, and they would follow them.

But it didn't come to pass, Lu Heng only dropped a few simple words-

"There is no limit to men and women, there is no age limit, but the younger the better."

"By the way, people have to be clever and smart, don't let me waste too much time teaching stupid donkeys. At this juncture, I don't have that kind of effort! ”

I just looked around, and this kid met the requirements the most.

At least she is very smart in some aspects, knowing that a cake will be coveted by others, and it is even very likely to be robbed and beaten, so she simply doesn't care about the whole cake and wraps the whole cake directly.

Cheng Chu was stunned for a moment, and did not listen to Li Chengqian's instructions to find a shop to make clothes, but looked at the little girl first.

"What's your name, kid?"

The girl was also stunned.

Where does the beggar have any serious names?

After a while, she said timidly: "I don't have a name...... But they all call me Little Liu. ”

Cheng Chumo nodded: "Okay, Xiaoliu, you go back to the house with me first, I'll take you to freshen up and get dressed, and then you have to go to business after a while." ”

Only then did Li Chengqian react.

Now buying clothes for Xiaoliu can't be said to be useless, it's basically a waste of things.

There is no place on her body that is white, even if she changes her clothes, it will still get dirty, and when Lu Heng sees it, he will follow his mouth, I am afraid that I will damage the two of them to the ground!

So Li Chengqian waved his hand: "Reasonable!" Let's go, let's go to your house! ”

………………

Lu Guogong Mansion.

Cheng Yanjin had already returned home from the mountain at this time, and Lu Heng was with him, but the latter went back to the princess's mansion.

Lao Cheng looked at Li Chengqian, who was looking at the sky and pretending to be stupid, and Cheng Chumo, who was like a quail and shrunk his neck and didn't dare to speak.

The forehead is bruised.

"Lu Heng's kid asked you to go and find a beggar to come back as an apprentice, and you ran all day, and then you found a girl to come back?"

"Cheng Chumo, what are you going to do!"

"I know that this is hard work, find a girl, are you going to let her go to the mountains to eat and live with a group of big men?!"

Cheng Chumo was scolded very aggrieved.

He did it with Li Chengqian, but after he came back, he was the only one who was punished.

Although I know that it is impossible for my father to scold His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... But who is not wronged in this matter?

He shrunk his neck again and retorted in a muffled voice.

"Dad, what you said is not right, we asked before we left, Sunrise said that there is no limit to men and women. What's more, Xiaoliu is only ten years old, and she is not as tall as my waist, so she can just be sent to the mountains to live alone, where is it so troublesome? ”

Dare to fight back?

Cheng Biting Jin raising his hand is a big bag!

"He said that there is no limit to men and women, so you don't want to think about it? There are more than one or two students to be cultivated in this school, and it is not a private school, you have seen dozens of rooms built in the school with your own eyes, you should know the severity. ”

"If there is only one girl, Xiaoliu, and everyone else is crowded into one room with a few young men, and she lives comfortably in a side room, is this like words?"

"If it's half for men and half for women, it's even more!"

"Not to mention that the school is so large, it is a small private school, and there is no group of girls and boys sitting together!"

"Only ten years old? Men and women don't sit at the same table at the age of seven, haven't you heard this or don't know it?! ”

also said a mouth, which caused a pot of dog blood to be scolded.

Cheng Chumo didn't dare to refute anymore.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian next to him sighed and had no choice but to stand up and relieve the siege.

"Lu Guogong, you dissipate your anger, this matter is not so serious."

"Risheng also talked to me before that he himself wanted to train a group of female masters, although he didn't learn Confucianism, but he was also a craft."

"The railway is not limited to Chang'an, this facility will extend all the way to the northwest and northeast. At that time, once the people of Datang migrate, there will be more exchanges between the two places, and both railways and trains will need to be maintained by manpower. ”

"If there are both men and women who know this skill, then it will allow them to settle down and form settlements along the way. Not only is it maintained, but the entire population along the railroad line is also thriving. ”

"These are the exact words of the rising sun."

"So, I'm afraid he intended to be both male and female from the beginning."

Cheng Yanjin was stunned for a while.

Lu Heng has not told him in detail about these things for the time being. Li Chengqian was able to know, and it was also because Lu Heng heard about it by the way when he explained the role of the railway to His Majesty Li Er before.

There really makes some sense......

After a while, Cheng Yanjin shook his head.

"What are you going to do in the future, the old man can't figure it out!"

"That's it, since he has counted everything, then my old Cheng doesn't talk much."

"I've already asked someone to get the little girl's clothes inside, and you can take her directly to see Lu Heng's kid later."

"That's right—"

"She can't really be the only one who brought it back, right?"

Li Chengqian and Cheng Chumo smiled awkwardly.

Cheng Yanjin: ......

Grandma is a bear, and her blood pressure is high!!
