Chapter 33: The Beggar
It's been a few days, and there is still no useful news from Shuncheonfu.
Coming out of the palace, Jiang Wan walked down the street with a resignation seat.
The streets are full of people and merchants, and the imperial city is much more prosperous than it was seven years ago.
In the midst of prosperity, you can also see beggars wandering around on the streets.
Jiang Wan suddenly saw a thin black beggar mixed in the lively crowd, holding a broken bowl and begging for passers-by.
The little beggar looked a little familiar, his clothes were tattered and a little big, like a piece of discarded cloth cut and worn at random. The clothes are a little big, and the little beggar is thin, and when he walks, his clothes sway on both sides, as if they are hanging on his body, which is very funny.
The little beggar was not very old, about seven or eight years old, and his hair was disheveled, and his hair was tangled together, and there was a little dirt hanging from it. Maybe he hadn't eaten enough for a few days, his face was sallow, and his eyelids bulged in because of hunger.
The whole person looked very embarrassed, and his face was full of color, but his dark eyes were attentive, and his small eyes were staring at the food stalls on the street, as if he was playing some bad idea.
I happily looked at the various food stalls and bought a lot of food.
Her eyes suddenly lit up, and when she saw the long-coveted pancakes, she immediately ran over. She excitedly grabbed the hot baked cakes and shared her food experience with Jiang Wan.
She chattered alone for a long time, and found that Childe was silent, and when she looked back, she found that Childe was left behind, standing there not knowing what she was looking at.
Ci Xi stood there and waved at Jiang Wan, and after shouting several times, Gongzi didn't respond, she simply ran over and stretched out her hand to scratch it in front of Jiang Wan's eyes.
Puzzled, "Childe? ”
Jiang Wan retracted her gaze, and her narrow eyelashes fell a little crow, even in such a prosperous world, there are people begging, and there are grievances.
Jiang Wan came back to her senses and looked at the food that Ci Xi was holding in her arms, and teased, "Little gluttonous cat, why did you buy so much food?" ”
Ci Xi scratched his head embarrassedly, smiled innocently, and then immediately held all the delicious food in front of Jiang Wan, and looked at her brightly, "Son, do you eat?" It's delicious. ”
Jiang Wan shook her head with a smile and scratched the bridge of her nose, "You can eat it yourself, little gluttonous cat." ”
Ci Xi suddenly remembered, "Oh yes, what were you looking at just now, Childe?" ”
Jiang Wan glanced at the little beggar and retracted her gaze, "It's nothing." ”
Ci Xi looked at her son-in-law suspiciously while eating, she followed Jiang Wan's line of sight and immediately exploded.
"Isn't this the little bastard who robbed Childe's pastries last time, but let my aunt find it."
Ci Xi immediately stuffed the food in his arms into Jiang Wan's arms, "Son, you take it first." ”
Then he stuck his waist and said viciously, "Look where you run this time!" ”
"Huh..."
Jiang Wan didn't have time to stop it, so she saw the little girl roll up her sleeves and rush to him to settle the account.
She helplessly held her forehead, this girl...
Jiang Wan had no choice but to follow.
The dirty little beggar wandered around the stall, and he grabbed the baked cake and was about to run away while the boss was busy entertaining guests.
"I've got you, little bastard." Ci Xi grabbed the little beggar's wrist and raised his eyebrows at him proudly, "Look where you are running this time!" ”
The little beggar struggled in a panic, looking at the gaze of the people around him, he was like a panicked little beast, his eyes were full of uneasiness.
The little beggar kicked desperately, his thin body was panicked because of the crowd's pointing, he saw that there were more and more people around, and the boss was attracted by the movement here, so he lowered his head and bit the white arm of the resignation.
The resignation was painful and let go, and the little beggar immediately fled far away when he saw this. Seeing that he still wanted to chase him, he threw the baked cake in his hand at her, and made a grimace at her and turned his head and ran.
"Be careful!" A carriage rushed over, ignoring the pain in his hands and hurriedly reminded him.
Seeing that the little beggar was about to be hit by the carriage, at this moment Jiang Wan arrived, she hurriedly flew forward and dragged the little beggar who was still in a daze to avoid the carriage.
"Are you alright?" Jiang Wan looked at the little beggar who hadn't come back to her senses and asked softly.
After all, it's still a child, I'm afraid I'm scared.
"Childe-" The resignation seat was relieved to see that the little beggar was fine, but when he saw that it was his own son, he gasped again and hurriedly ran over.
The little beggar came back to his senses when he heard this, thinking that the fierce bastard was here to arrest him, he pushed Jiang Wan away, glanced at the cold young man who saved him, he pursed his lips and didn't speak.
This is probably the most beautiful big brother he has ever seen in so long begging, like an immortal in the sky. The beautiful big brother has no disgust like when others see him.
The young man's eyes were so clean that the little beggar felt ashamed when he saw himself dirty.
He saw that the boy had a lot of delicious food in his hands, which he could eat for many days. The little beggar swallowed his saliva subconsciously.
Jiang Wan saw the little beggar staring intently at the food in her hand, and her dark eyes flashed with longing.
She was just about to step forward and give the food in her hand to the little beggar, when she saw the resignation seat hurrying over.
"Childe be careful."
The little beggar suddenly rushed towards Jiang Wan, hit Jiang Wan hard, and snatched the food from her hand.
Jiang Wan subconsciously reached out to block the edges and corners of the stall to prevent him from bumping into it.
When he saw the scene of the little beggar taking revenge, he was furious.
She can see it all, Childe saved the little bastard, but the little bastard snatched the food from the child's hand, what a little white-eyed wolf.
If it weren't for Childe's fear that the little bastard would crash into the stall, how could he have snatched the food from Childe?!
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he gritted his teeth and yelled angrily in the direction where the little bastard disappeared, "Don't let the old lady see you again!" ”
After venting his resignation, he looked at the group of people around him, and shouted impatiently, "Look at everything, it's all gone." ”
Seeing this, the people who watched the excitement also dispersed, and the little girl hugged Jiang Wan's arm with an aggrieved face and cried, "Son, it hurts to resign." ”
She stretched her arms out, revealing neat tooth marks.
When I saw the resignation, I started to get angry again, this little bastard, his teeth are very straight, don't let the old lady catch you again!
Seeing that Jiang Wan still had a cold face, she knew that she was reckless this time, and she was miserable.
"Childe, you blow it to others, they hurt so much." While pretending to cry, he secretly watched Jiang Wan's reaction.
Jiang Wan finally sighed helplessly, and flicked her finger lightly on her head, "You can't be so reckless next time." ”
She took out the cloud flower paste she carried with her and carefully applied it to the little girl's white arm.
"Childe, I don't need cloud flower ointment for this little injury."
Ci Xi looked at Jiang Wan painfully, and deducted a large amount of cloud flower paste and smeared it on her arm.
It's a tyrannical thing, this is a cloud flower paste is hard to buy, but she remembers that someone spent a lot of money last time, and in the end, she didn't buy cloud flower cream.
The cloud ointment was applied to her arm, and she instantly felt unworthy.
Jiang Wan grabbed the hand that resigned from the seat and wanted to retract, without doubt, "Don't move." ”
Woo woo, use less, the son is too loser, woo woo...
Jiang Wan applied the ointment and stuffed the cloud flower ointment into the resignation table.
I felt that the things in my hand were so hot at the moment of resignation, this and this...
This is a cloud flower ointment, it's hard to find a thousand gold, is it really good for you to be like this, childe?
The little girl was flattered, "Childe, this is too precious, don't you resign..."
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Wan touched the little girl's hairy head and interrupted, "It's also a dead thing in preciousness, and it's also for people, huh?" ”
Jiang Wan smiled dotingly, and the little girl blushed very unhappily.
Ahh
I had to accept the resignation with tears.
Jiang Wan settled this side and paced towards the owner of the stall.
"I wonder if the boss has enough money to buy the baked cakes he just got from that kid?"
When the cold young man in front of him stretched out his white hand, the stall owner came to his senses.
He originally calculated it, after all, the young man had an extraordinary bearing at first glance, and he couldn't figure out which family's son. Unexpectedly, the young man behaved modestly and politely, and paid the little beggar's money.
The stall owner hurriedly took it, and he didn't need to count the money in his hand to know more, "It's enough, it's not just enough, Childe has paid back more money." ”
Jiang Wan smiled, "The remaining silver taels are the impact on the loss of the boss's stall. ”
She bowed slightly, and was ready to leave.
The resignation was a little sullen when he saw that his son-in-law still paying for the little bastard.
"Childe, there's nothing to eat."
The little girl looked very aggrieved.
Jiang Wan smiled and scratched the bridge of her nose, "Would it be good to buy you a new one?" ”
The resignation immediately became happy again, and his eyes were shining.
"Childe, you're so nice!"
The little girl's emotions come and go quickly.
At this time, there seemed to be something happening on the street in front, the crowd was crowded, and when the resignation table saw this, he also pulled Jiang Wan over to join in the fun.
Jiang Wan shook her head helplessly, she was really a child who didn't grow up.
