13. Nameless beggars

When he heard this, the child remained silent, but his eyes grew brighter and brighter, as if he had seen hope.

"Don't you want to live? "

Wei Ming asked coldly.

He really couldn't understand what the child in front of him meant, could it be that he was overstimulated?

Wei Ming just wanted to continue to scold, but the child suddenly stood up, bowed down, paused forward, and fell to the ground with a plop.

"I beg Ming Gong to take it in! "

The kid paused word by word, and said clearly and firmly.

Wei Ming was slightly stunned, a little crying and laughing, it was really unthinkable that a child in his teens would actually come to join him.

However, he still did not soften his tone, and said:

"Huangkou Xiaoer, aren't you teasing me? "

The boy raised his head, his eyes clear and stubborn, he gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice:

"I was born a beggar in Xia Nai, I have no money to eat, and now my parents have died of illness, and there is no one to take care of me, and I hope that Ming Gong will have mercy... "

"I'm not merciful, I just want to tell you that I will definitely not take you in under such circumstances. "

Wei Ming shook his head and refused directly.

It's not that Wei Ming is ruthless, it's just that if he agrees and opens this opening, in time, won't all the beggars in the city come to ram his carriage? It is impossible for the coachman to protect them again and again, and at that time, wouldn't Wei Ming have even more headaches?

Moreover, Wei Ming and his entourage are not wealthy, although they have a shop, but there is not much silver left, the Lin family is already poor, plus the cost of buying customs clearance documents and renting carriages, along the way, funds have long been stretched. If you take it in at this moment, you will not be able to raise it in the end.

Wei Ming is just an ordinary person, and he has no consciousness of cutting meat to feed the eagle, his philosophy has always been to take care of the people around him first, and then try his best to help the people of the world.

But although Wei Ming sternly refused, the beggar still refused to give up, and was still begging bitterly.

"Ming Gong's words are wrong! “

The beggar looked solemn, and he said slowly:

"Although I was born poor, I have known since I was a child that Entu Bao is willing to be a cow and a horse and serve you. "

The beggar seems to be thin and thin, but when he speaks, he is loud and sonorous.

Wei Ming was stunned on the spot, this kid really has a bit of backbone.

He couldn't help but ask:

"Then I wonder how you want to repay me? "

Wei Ming really didn't know what benefits adopting a beggar would be for him, most of it was just a drag.

Hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in the beggar's eyes, and he stood up and began to judge the situation, only to see him talk eloquently:

"The streets and courtyards of the whole city, the distribution of families, and the exchanges of merchants are all familiar to me. "

Not only that, but the purchase of ironware, grain, livestock, salt, and other items is also well understood. "

After speaking, he patted his chest, as if showing his healthy body:

"And in the lower part, it is easy to face all kinds of chores, small servants, and even domestic servants, who can do it in the lower parts. "

"And all Ming Gong needs to pay is a bowl of gruel every day, and nothing else. "

After the child finished speaking, he looked at Wei Ming with hope.

Wei Ming was stunned, if these words came from the mouth of a weak-crowned person, he would not think so, but the beggar in front of him was only the age of Huangkou, so it was so organized, and it could even be said that it was leakless, which was really rare.

In the face of the beggar's words, Wei Ming couldn't help but fall silent, and couldn't find a suitable reason to refute him for a while.

For him, he is not familiar with life, and he really needs intelligence.

Just when he was hesitating whether to let the beggar enter the mansion, suddenly, Lin Muxue leaned over, she gently tugged at Wei Ming's sleeve, and asked in a low voice:

"Brother Wei, this kid ...... "

Lin Muxue pointed at the beggar, with an unbearable look on her face.

"Brother Wei, this kid is a bit interesting, it's better to take it, anyway, he is also homeless, and he happens to be able to help us take care of the store." "

Her voice is soft and melodious, as crisp and melodious as the spring water of a mountain stream.

Seeing Lin Muxue's statement, Wei Ming sighed slightly and nodded,

"Well, in that case, then I'll reluctantly accept him! "

With that, he stretched out his hand to the child:

"What's your name? "

The boy was slightly stunned, and there was a hint of surprise and joy in his eyes, but then it dimmed, and he shook his head and said in a low voice:

"In the early death of my father, I still have no surname, let alone a name. "

Wei Ming was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this to be the case, but then he was relieved.

In the era of war, human life is like a mustard, and there are not a few people who have never left their names, and such children are really normal.

He couldn't help but sigh:

"That's it, I'll just name you Xiaoque, how about it? "

This name is also quite appropriate, and Wei Ming changed it.

When Xiao Que heard this, his eyes flashed with gratitude, and he kowtowed three more times:

"Thank you Ming Gong for giving me the name, I will remember it in my heart! "

Wei Ming smiled slightly and said:

"Alright, it's okay now, you can get up. "

Xiao Que stood up, bowed to Wei Mingshen, and said:

"Thank you Ming Gong! In the next small shortage, I will do my best in the future to serve you. "

After speaking, Xiao Que turned around and saluted Lin Muxue again, and said:

"Thank you for this girl's life-saving grace, and I will never forget my original intention. "

Lin Muxue's face flushed, but she also nodded in response.

Although he is young, he is quick and thoughtful, and he has a thorough etiquette, which makes Wei Ming like it more and more.

He laughed, waved his hand, and said:

"Okay, Xiao Que, come with us. "

Although Lin Muxue didn't say much, she was secretly surprised in her heart, although Xiao Que was a beggar, she had a shrewd and capable temperament.

The matter in front of him was done, Wei Ming asked the coachman to continue to hurry, and drove slowly all the way at a speed that a small lack of speed could keep up.

Xiao Que was not idle, constantly introducing Changsha's customs, business and trade contacts to Wei Ming, and even listed the things sold on the street one by one.

Don't underestimate this information, this is a valuable resource, if you have this information in your hands, it will be of great help to do business in the future and embark on a career in office.

Wei Ming naturally knows the priorities, although he wants to defect to Uncle Liu Huang now, but he doesn't want to start as a big soldier, so he can only do business first, envelop the family, find a recommended person, and then find an opportunity to join Uncle Liu Huang, this is the safest plan.

After all, there is no family recommendation, no military exploits, and you want to meet Uncle Liu Huang?

That's just a fool's dream!

Therefore, this information was extremely useful to Wei Ming, and he was happy to do so.

In this way, they kept talking and laughing all the way, stopping and stopping, and several people soon came to the shop given by Doctor Wang.

"Childe, it's already here. "

The coachman reminded.

Wei Ming raised his head, but the scene in front of him made him unbelievable, he rubbed his eyes vigorously and asked, and asked the coachman:

"Are you sure you're not wrong? "

The coachman confirmed repeatedly, and finally nodded with a smile:

"How dare you lie, this is the address you described, Childe. "

Wei Ming was stunned.

This is what Doctor Wang said, a shop in a prosperous area and a booming business?

The corners of Wei Ming's mouth twitched, this is too unseemly, right?

This shop is not only dilapidated, but also outrageously shabby, with a row of broken wooden roofs, doors and windows have rotted away, and even the door panels are gone, and the whole house looks extremely deserted and desolate.

It's no wonder that Doctor Wang will give it to himself.

Wei Ming couldn't help but feel a little like crying, but Xiao Que didn't dislike it at all. When he saw the shop in front of him, the excitement on his face was palpable.

"Ming Gong, is this our home? "

The more Xiao Que spoke, the more excited he became, not noticing Wei Ming's gradually ugly face at all.

"We're going to live here forever, aren't we? "

Wei Ming didn't say much but stepped out of the carriage and touched Xiao Que's head, and the sensible Xiao Que quickly quieted down.

"Childe, now that I've arrived, I'm leaving. "

The coachman hesitated, but then spoke. Wei Ming nodded and said:

"Okay, you can go. "

The driver answered, helped carry the luggage, and drove away.

After Daddy Lin and Lin Muxue got out of the car, although they were shocked, they didn't say much, but began to move their luggage into the shop one by one.

Wei Ming took a deep breath, shook his head, shook off the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and stepped forward to help them carry it together.

In any case, this is his starting point, and it is his first step towards hegemony! Even if the road is bumpy, what does it matter?
