Gu Qingyue raised her head, where was Lu Huaijin's figure in front of her.

He had walked a few meters away without a word.

Gu Qingyue was helpless, patted off the dust on her body, and quickly caught up with Lu Huaijin.

The two of them walked one after the other, all the way in the opposite direction of Miyagi.

"Where the hell are you taking me?"

"Out of the palace, the emperor wants to change his name."

"I can call myself whatever I want. Where the hell are we going? ”

"The emperor doesn't change his name, if you encounter any trouble, I don't care about you."

Gu Qingyue was deflated, so she could only obediently change her title: "Where are you going to take me?" ”

"You'll know when you get there."

After saying this, no matter how Gu Qingyue asked, Lu Huaijin always looked indifferent and remained silent.

Gu Qingyue was helpless, so she had to follow him without saying a word.

This is the first time Gu Qingyue has left the palace.

She looked around and saw that everything around her was very new.

Dayao's palace was built in the very center of the capital, separated from the market area by a dense forest of shrubs and a moat.

The two of them walked through the bushes, crossed the moat over the bridge, and finally reached the place where the people lived.

It's still early, and it's only about three o'clock in the morning in modern society.

Gu Qingyue originally thought that at this hour, the capital should be silent.

Before they could do so, they had not gone far along the main street when they heard the sound of a wheel turning.

In the mist, a man dressed in a patch leaned his back and pushed a cart out of the fog.

He was skinny, and after walking a few steps, he always had to stop and catch his breath.

Even passing by Gu Qingyue and Lu Huaijin, the man didn't squint, just pushed his own car.

"What did this man do so early?" Gu Qingyue asked puzzled.

Lu Huaijin glanced at her, his eyebrows were slightly locked, and he sneered: "Pour the night incense." Men like him would walk from the east of the city through a slum to the west of the city early in the morning to pour incense for the various mansions. After a busy morning, there are only two copper plates. ”

Gu Qingyue's eyes widened, and her right index finger and thumb waved twice in the air: "Two copper plates? What's that for? I...... I rewarded those female officials and eunuchs in the palace, and I also got a dozen taels of silver at a time. That's not enough. ”

Lu Huaijin stared at Gu Qingyue unhappily.

After a while, he sneered disdainfully, turned and walked forward.

Gu Qingyue was not a fool, so she could naturally see that Lu Huaijin's expression was dissatisfied with herself.

But she can't be blamed for that.

The original owner has been a golden branch and jade leaf since he was a child, and he has never even left the palace gate until now.

To her, silver was the most useless thing in the world.

Since it is useless, it is natural to use it without moderation.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingyue trotted to catch up with Lu Huaijin, twisting her eyebrows and staring at him: "You haven't told me what two copper plates are enough for." ”

Lu Huaijin sighed: "It's enough for him to buy two steamed buns, and a plate of small mustard is the meal of their family for a whole day." ”

Gu Qingyue was stunned, and her heart chuckled.

When he was spending a lot of money in the palace, someone only used two copper plates a day to feed the family.

This is still at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

If you change places, wouldn't your life be even more miserable?

Gu Qingyue was speechless all the way, and her heart was so congested that she didn't know how to speak.

As for Lu Huaijin, he was also silent and only cared about walking.

I don't know how long I walked.

Gu Qingyue found that the buildings around her were getting more and more dilapidated.

At first, those wide-door mansions gradually turned into small courtyard houses.

In the end, it became a shack made of hay at will.

After walking for so long, Gu Qingyue felt chills all over.

She hugged her arms, looked at Lu Huaijin who was walking in front, and whispered, "Lu Huaijin......"

"Uncle Jin."

Gu Qingyue's voice came almost at the same time as the sound of a milk whirring.

Lu Huaijin didn't hear Gu Qingyue speak, and looked at the little man carved in pink for the first time.

The little guy waved his arms lightly, staggered, rushed forward, and threw himself into Lu Huaijin's arms.

On this cold day, the little guy was only wearing a very thin gown, his originally white cheeks were frozen crimson, and two strands of snot hung on the middle of the person.

Lu Huaijin held the little guy with one hand, took out a handkerchief from his arms with the other hand, gently wiped the little guy's face, and said in a low voice: "Nan, how many times has Uncle Ah Jin told you, don't run around outside on such a cold day." ”

Nan Nan tilted her head, her eyes were crooked, and she looked at Lu Huaijin with a smile: "Today is the fifteenth, and Uncle Ah Jin has to come to see Nan Nan on the fifteenth of every month." Nan Nan has been waiting for Uncle Ah Jin. I don't usually come out. ”

Lu Huaijin pinched the tip of her red nose, leaned in front of her, collided with her forehead, lightly collided twice, and laughed in a low voice: "Really?" ”

Nan Nan's happy laughter resounded in the sky: "Of course it's true." ”

The intimacy between the two soon drew a response from everyone around them.

Quite a few people came out from under the shacks.

Some of them were thinly dressed, and some were even naked, wrapped only in quilts.

It is not difficult to see from their clothing that these people live in poverty, and it is very difficult to even the most basic clothing, housing and transportation.

Even so, their eyes were full of smiles when they looked at Lu Huaijin, and they all happily greeted Lu Huaijin.

Everyone greeted each other, and finally someone noticed Gu Qingyue who was following behind Lu Huaijin.

"Who are you?" Nan Nan tilted her head and looked at Gu Qingyue curiously.

Gu Qingyue looked around at everyone, and it was difficult to settle down in her heart.

Her throat rolled, she swallowed several times, opened her mouth, didn't know what to say, and finally swallowed everything back.

After a few rounds, the eyes of everyone looking at Gu Qingyue became more and more curious.

Lu Huaijin cleared his throat and said in a low voice: "This is my friend, you can just call her Ah Yue." ”

The crowd, which had been silent just now, suddenly became lively.

"Since it's Ah Jin's friend, it's our friend."

"You're here so early, haven't you eaten yet?"

Everyone, you say a word, someone has already taken out a few steamed buns from their shack and forced them to Gu Qingyue and Lu Huaijin.

Gu Qingyue pushed the outstretched hand of the person opposite: "No...... Don't have to ......"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Huaijin had already taken the steamed bun, stuffed it to Gu Qingyue, and smiled at the person opposite: "Uncle, thank you." ”

The smile on Abo's face deepened.

Lu Huaijin took advantage of Abo's turn of his head and hurriedly said to Gu Qingyue: "Whatever they give you, you just take it." ”

After speaking, Lu Huaijin was busy talking to an old woman next to her.

"Grandma Ayun, are your feet still hurting lately?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore. It's been much better since you last showed it to me. ”

"I'll show you again."

Lu Huaijin said, sat down beside the old woman, held her black ankles, and without hesitation, put them directly on her knees.
