The carriage came all the way to the back door of Zixiao Temple, and when Chen Jingke entered the outer courtyard, someone asked Qingju to come over.

Now she is a pastry master, and she is only responsible for researching new products, and the apprentices she taught in Tianranju are in charge.

So she usually stays in the outer courtyard, taking care of Linger while studying.

Knowing that Chen Jingke was looking for her, he put down his work and came over.

"Really, are you looking for me?"

Chen Jingke pointed to the little girl in the car and said, "Give her a good wash and change of clothes, and then send her to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment."

By the way, she briefly explained her background.

Qingju has suffered by herself, and she hates the poor child the most, she almost shed tears of distress: "Don't worry, Zhenren, I will definitely take good care of her."

Then, not too dirty, he stretched out his hand and carefully hugged the girl.

The little girl felt close to her when she saw her kind appearance, and subconsciously leaned into her arms.

But immediately thought that she was so dirty, what to do if her clothes were dirty, she wouldn't be angry.

He couldn't help but secretly observe whether she was angry.

Qingju didn't know what she was thinking, she just thought she was nervous, so she comforted her: "Don't worry, no one will hurt you here."

Although the answer was irrelevant to the question, the little girl's heart became much more stable.

Take the little girl home and lay it flat on a table, and go to boil water.

Putting water into the pot and lighting it up, she went to the kitchen and heated up half a bowl of porridge left over at noon.

She knows how to take care of people. The little girl should have not eaten for a long time, so she needs to be fed first.

It can't be fed too hard or too full. For the first time, half a bowl of porridge is enough.

When he came to the little girl, he took a spoonful of porridge and blew it on his mouth, and said softly, "Come and eat something to warm your stomach first."

This was the first time that the little girl had been treated so tenderly since she could remember, and the tears that had just stopped could not help but flow down again.

All he knew was passively swallowing the porridge that Qingju sent to his mouth.

It was true that she had been hungry for too long, but she didn't feel hungry at first. After the stomach and intestines were moistened with rice soup and gradually regained consciousness, a heart-sucking hunger hit her.

She unconsciously opened her mouth wide and swallowed vigorously, and she ate up half a bowl of rice soup in a few mouthfuls.

But not only did the hunger not disappear, but it became more intense.

She stared blankly at the rice bowl, wishing she could swallow the whole bowl.

Qingju stroked her forehead and comforted her: "You've been hungry for too long and you can't eat too much at one time, bear with it for now, I'll feed you some later."

The little girl nodded sensiblely, and finally said the first words after the two met: "Thank you, I am too dirty, don't make your table dirty, just put me on the ground."

Qingju's heart felt sour, and she squeezed out a smile and said: "It's okay, if it's dirty, just wipe it up later, and tell me your name."

The little girl said with some embarrassment: "I don't have a name, and my parents have called me a loser since I was a child."

Qingju's heart became more congested, and her voice became more gentle, she said: "Then let the real person help you find one later, he is quite knowledgeable, and the name he chose is also nice."

The little girl paused and said, "Is the real person you're talking about that fierce boy?"

Qingju was stunned for a moment, Chen Jingke?fierce?

In fact, Chen Jingke had just come out after taking revenge on Wang Xiuqi, so it was inevitable that he was somewhat hostile.

Children are very sensitive to such things, so it is the first time that he, who has always been popular with children, is said to be fierce.

Qingju didn't know this, and thought she had misunderstood, so she explained: "The real person is a very kind person, very gentle. Many of us here were rescued by him, and I am too."

The little girl didn't doubt her words. After all, Chen Jingke didn't abuse her along the way, and even sent her to such a gentle sister, obviously she wasn't a bad person.

So he nodded and asked, "What kind of place is this?"

Qingju smiled and said: "This is Zixiao Temple, have you heard of it?"

The little girl's eyes widened immediately, and she said in disbelief, "Is this the Zixiao Temple? The place where the gods live?"

Qingju corrected: "It's not the Zixiao Palace in Journey to the West, but the Zixiao Temple."

The little girl said stubbornly: "It is the place where the gods live. I heard that the medical sage and his disciples live here."

Qingju immediately understood that for many people, Zixiao Temple is indeed a place where gods live.

So she nodded and said, "Yes, this is the place where the medical sage and old fairy lived. The fierce young man just now is the old fairy's disciple."

The little girl's mouth opened wide immediately, and she said in shock, "He...he...he is the disciple of the old god?"

Qingju smiled and said: "Yes, that's why he saved you."

The little girl was still in a daze, and couldn't believe that not only was she rescued, but she was also saved by a god.

The hot water boiled quickly, and Qingju carried the little girl to the bathroom.He wanted to take off her clothes, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find where the buttons were.

After asking, I realized that her clothes didn't have so-called buttons at all, they were all sewn directly on top with cloth strips, stacked layer by layer into the current appearance.

As for changing clothes, it doesn't exist. She has only this one dress since she was a child, and there is nothing to change.

When you need to undress to take a shower, just take the clothes off your head.Besides, she can't take a bath twice a year, and basically doesn't take off her clothes.

Qingju was silent, and found scissors to cut it open for her.

The little girl covered the clothes with her hands and said, "Don't cut it, you can't wear it if you cut it."

Qingju took Linger's suit from the side and put it in front of her, saying: "Throw away this one on you, and wear this suit later."

Her body shape is about the same as that of Ling'er, who is over five years old, and she can just wear it.

Looking at the beautiful dress, the little girl asked in surprise, "Give it to me?"

Qingju said: "This is my daughter's clothes, I gave it to you, and I will make new ones for you later."

Will you make clothes for me in the future?For a moment the little girl thought she was living in a dream.

No, this is not a dream, this is where the gods live.

Qingju carefully put her in the bathtub to soak, and then began to wash her hair.

A ladle of water was poured down from the top of the head, but what flowed down was dirty gray water with small bugs mixed in it.

After washing her a dozen times, the water running down from her hair has no other color.

Then there is a bath, one basin of water is washed black, and then another basin is changed, and the water is changed four times before it is considered clean.

However, working for a long time and not taking a bath made her skin look very poor. It still looks dark, but it has indeed been washed.

During this period, the little girl was moved to tears several times.

It took more than an hour to take a bath for her, Qingju didn't get impatient at all, and changed her into Linger's clothes again.

At this time, the sound of 'dang, clang, clang' sounded outside, and the little girl was a little at a loss.

Qingju smiled and said: "This is the bell for the end of the school, Linger is coming back."

The little girl suddenly panicked, does she not like herself?Would he blame himself for wearing her clothes?

Qingju saw her thoughts, and comforted her: "It's okay, Linger is very sensible, and you will definitely become good friends in the future."

After being appeased, the little girl's mood calmed down a lot.

Soon the door was pushed open with a bang, and Ling'er ran in with a small schoolbag on her back.

As soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Mom, I don't have homework today, I went out to play..."

After finishing speaking, I realized that there was an extra person in the family, and ran over curiously and said like a cannonball:

"Who is this sister? Why is she in our house? She wears the same clothes as mine."

The little girl was a little at a loss, and at the same time, her delicate makeup made her feel inferior, so she lowered her head and dared not speak.

Qingju tapped Ling'er's forehead lightly, and said: "You can't be a lady, just like a wild boy every day, be careful that you won't get married in the future."

"Slightly." Ling'er put on a grimace and said proudly: "The real man said, I'm not afraid to find a good husband for me in the future, hehe."

Qingju was very helpless, and said: "I don't feel ashamed, it's a real person who spoiled you, and whoever marries you when you grow up will be unlucky."

The little girl was envious and sad at the same time, and couldn't help shedding tears again.

Ling'er had sharp eyes and shouted: "Sister, why are you crying? Did someone bully you? Tell me, I will take the big guy to avenge you."

"If I still can't win, I will ask the real person for help. The real person likes me, and he will listen to everything I say."

However, Qingju understood that the little girl should be in love with the scene, touched her head and said: "Don't be sad, this will be your home from now on, and everyone will care and love you."

The little girl cried even harder.

This made Ling'er feel a little overwhelmed, so she had to look to her mother for help.

Qingju hugged the little girl in her arms and said: "My sister's Ye Niang doesn't want her anymore. The real person picked her up. Will Ling'er want to know about her in the future?"

Ling'er looked at her sympathetically, nodded her head and said, "Well, I will definitely protect my sister."

At this time, the voice of the little friend came from outside the door: "Linger Linger, come quickly, you are the only one missing."

Ling'er wanted to go out, but when she thought about what she said just now to protect her sister, she was a little hesitant.

Qingju was very happy with her understanding, and said: "Go and play, my sister is not feeling well, I want to take her to the front to have a look."

Ling'er nodded and then went out, just took two steps and then turned back and said: "Sister, don't be afraid, the medical skills of the real Guanzhu can cure any disease. When your illness is cured, I will take you to play. "

After finishing speaking, he ran out with a 'thump, thump'.

The little girl cried bitterly for a long time, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances in her heart.

Qingju kept comforting her softly until she finished venting.

He warmed up another half bowl of porridge to pad her stomach, and carried her to the infirmary in the backyard.

Many people on the road asked her identity curiously, but Qingju didn't say much, only said that she was a poor person picked up by a real person.

Everyone sighed and comforted her one after another.

The little girl was scared at first when she saw so many people, but she gradually relaxed when she saw that everyone was harmless.

All the way to the infirmary in the backyard, after asking about it, I learned that Chen Jingke was in the prince's ward, so I asked the medical staff to pass it on to her.

Soon the medical staff informed her to go in by herself.

In Zixiao Temple for so long, I can often see the emperor, queen, prince, and various princes and nobles, and even talked to the emperor, and even taught the queen to make pastries, so Qingju is not nervous.

But today the situation is different, she also has a child.

Fearing that the little girl would make a mistake, she told her: "The prince is injured here and he is recuperating here. The real person is in the prince's ward. I will take you in later. Don't talk nonsense, you know?"

Prince?The little girl was already getting nervous, her little hands were tightly holding on to Qingju's sleeves.

"Okay... If you don't let me talk, I won't talk."

Qingju smiled and said: "That's fine, just listen to me later."

As he spoke, he carried the little girl into Li Chengqian's ward, which was naturally a single room with bookcases and the like.

Li Chengqian couldn't move his feet and could only lie on the bed.

Chen Jingke was sitting on the chair next to the hospital bed, not knowing what to talk about, both of them looked a little heavy.

Seeing them coming in, Li Chengqian looked at the little girl and said, "This is the child you brought out from the slum?"

Chen Jingke said: "Yes, a poor child."

The little girl huddled her head in Qingju's arms and dared not look out, after all, he was the prince.

Qingju said generously: "There are too many poor people in the world, alas. This child was lucky to be picked up by a real person. I don't know how many people are more unfortunate than her."

Li Chengqian knew that she was implying that he should pay more attention to the slums.

If an ordinary person dared to tell him that, he would definitely dismiss it, and even get angry.

It's just that Qingju is a subordinate that Chen Jingke attaches great importance to. Ling'er was raised by Chen Jingke as half sister and half daughter, so he had to give her some face.

So patiently explained: "If the imperial court pays attention to the slums, there will only be one consequence."

"Officials in Chang'an and Wannian counties demolished it, and drove the people inside out of Chang'an, making them lose their last foothold."

"So it's not that I don't want to help them, but that I have no way to help them."

Qingju was silent, she naturally knew what those officials would do, and said apologetically to Li Chengqian: "It was my ignorance that misunderstood Your Highness, please forgive me."

Li Chengqian sighed: "It's good that you can understand."

At this time, Chen Jingke also said: "There are too many people who are suffering, how many can we help?"

"There is only one way to help everyone, to produce more food, more clothes, more medicinal materials..."

"When enough things are produced that they can be used by everyone, the people at the bottom will be able to live a little better."

Qingju said in frustration: "How can this be possible?"

Li Chengqian also meant the same thing, but he lacked a layer of empathy.

Chen Jingke said: "Why not? Gewu can change all of this. The reason why you think it can't be done is because Gewu is not developed enough..."

Li Chengqian said in surprise: "Can Gewu really do it?"

Chen Jingke said resolutely: "Yes, as long as we study Gewu well, sooner or later, all of what I said will be realized."

Li Chengqian asked: "How far does Gewu need to develop? How long will it take?"

Chen Jingke said: "These are not important, the important thing is whether we have done it. As long as we start to do it now, we will be able to do it one day in the future."

"If we give up research because we think it's too slow, it's never going to happen."

Li Chengqian couldn't help shaking his head, it was as if he didn't say anything.

Chen Jingke also knew that before Gewu was transformed into productivity, it would be difficult for them to truly understand the usefulness of this knowledge, so he didn't say anything more.

Study slowly, and one day in the future, the world will understand all this.

Stopping this topic, Chen Jingke said to Qingju: "Take her to see Master, she is still young and try not to leave any sequelae."

Qingju said: "Okay...but she doesn't have a name yet, how about the real person give her one?"

Chen Jingke looked at Li Chengqian and said, "You are the prince, come here."

Li Chengqian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't refuse. He thought for a while and said, "She was suffering too much before, and I hope she will have more happiness in the future. Let's call her Xinger."

Qingju said happily: "On behalf of Xinger, I thank His Highness for giving me the name."

Chen Jingke looked at her and said, "You seem to like her very much? Why don't you take care of her."

Qingju hurriedly said: "Okay, I was just about to tell you if you don't tell me, Linger also likes her very much, so let her live in my house."

As soon as Chen Jingke heard this, he had no objection, and said: "Okay, just let her be Linger's companion... let's go."

Only then did Qingju leave with Xinger.

When she walked away, Li Chengqian's face became serious again, and he said: "This is enough, if you continue, it will really affect your reputation."
