The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 33 Two Monkeys
The capital is divided into four cities, East City, West City, South City, and North City.Dongshi is mainly an imperial city.Nanshi is the area where dignitaries live.West Market is a business district, and merchants basically live here.Beishi is a slum area, and the people who live here are poor or lowly.

West Market is a business district, very bustling and lively.There are many shops, restaurants and guest houses here.On both sides of the street, there are also various stalls.The cries here sound from morning to night.

Zhao Yao sat on Liang Run's shoulders, looking around curiously.He found that he hadn't been here for a while, and there were many new shops and stalls here.

Seeing the stall in front of Liang Run buying sugar paintings, he carried Zhao Yao over and asked the boss to draw a tiger.There was another seller of red dates and yam cakes in front, and Liang Run bought some for Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao sat on Liang Run's shoulders, eating sweet sugar paintings and delicious red dates and yam cakes.

Not far ahead, there were people performing arts, such as breathing fire from their mouths, crushing boulders on their chests, and throwing large porcelain jars, etc.

Many people watched, and when they saw something exciting, everyone would applaud and praise.At this time, someone came to everyone with a cymbal, and everyone would give some rewards.

Liang Run also gave two copper coins, and then carried Zhao Yao forward.There was another performer in front of it. It was an old man directing a big monkey and a little monkey to do various interesting and amusing movements, which made the onlookers laugh.

These two monkeys have golden fur all over their bodies, handsome faces, and very agile expressions, which are very popular with onlookers.

The big monkey was still performing boxing, and the little monkey walked up to the onlookers with a big broken bowl, muttering something in his mouth.

Although the onlookers couldn't understand what the little monkey was saying, they could probably guess what it meant, so they rewarded them with a few copper coins and put them in the bowl.

The little monkey is very human. When someone gives money, it will bow and thank you.

Seeing how polite the little monkey is, the onlookers liked it even more.People who originally only tipped one copper coin can't help but give another one or two copper coins.

After a while, the little monkey walked up to Zhao Yao.Not long ago, Zhao Yao asked Liang Run to put him down.

The little monkey was a little afraid of Laiman who was following Zhao Yao.Seeing its fear, Zhao Yao let Laiman hide behind him.

"Laiman is very good, it won't bite you." Zhao Yao said, and put the five copper plates in his hand into the broken bowl in the little monkey's hand. "What's your name?" He asked again, "You look so beautiful, are you a boy or a girl?" It was the first time he had seen a monkey covered in golden hair.

The little monkey felt a cordial feeling from Zhao Yao, which made him boldly step forward and make progress.It opened its mouth and said to Zhao Yao: [My name is Xiao Niu, and I am a girl. 】

Zhao Yao squatted down and stretched out his hand to the little monkey: "Little girl, my name is Yaoyao, can we be friends?"

The little girl stared at Zhao Yao with her eyes wide open, 【Can you understand me? 】

Zhao Yao smiled and said, "Yes, can we be friends?"

It was the first time for the little girl to see someone who could understand it, and her face was full of disbelief.It imitated Zhao Yao's movements and stretched out its right hand.

Zhao Yao stretched out his hand to hold the girl's right hand, and shook it gently: "Then we are friends."

Laiman poked his head out from behind Zhao Yao, and whispered to the chick twice; 【My name is Laiman, I am Yaoyao's friend.You are Yaoyao's friend now, and that is my friend too. 】

The little monkey was a little frightened and shrank its neck.It looked at Zhao Yao for help.

Zhao Yao reached out and touched the little monkey's head, then smiled and said, "Laiman is my good friend, it is very good, it will never bite you, don't be afraid."

Lai Man hurriedly said: 【You are my friend with Yaoyao, I will not bite you. 】

The little monkey nodded, then turned to look at Laiman: 【If you don't bite me, then I won't be afraid of you. 】

Lai Man happily shook his tail: [Little girl, you look so good-looking. 】

The chick who was praised for her good looks had a happy smile on her pretty face.

"Little girl, is it your mother?" Zhao Yao asked the little monkey, pointing to the big monkey who was dancing.

The little monkey nodded and said: [Well, it is my mother. 】

"What's your mother's name?"

[Big girl. 】

In the eyes of others, a beautiful child is talking to a beautiful monkey.The little monkey was babbling, and the little boy seemed to understand what it was saying, so he talked to it seriously.This scene was fun, cute and warm, and there was a slight smile on the faces of everyone present.

"Young master, can you understand what the little monkey is saying?" asked an aunt standing next to Zhao Yao.

"Yes, it says it's Xiao Niu, and its mother is Da Niu."

The aunt pretended to be surprised: "Young master is really amazing." Of course the aunt didn't really think that Zhao Yao could understand what the little monkey was saying.She thought Zhao Yao heard the old man calling the names of the two monkeys.

"Your child is so handsome." The aunt said this to Liang Run.

It is said that the nephew looks like an uncle, Zhao Yao and Liang Run still have a bit of similarity, and the aunt thinks that Zhao Yao is Liang Run's son.

Liang Run was very happy when his nephew was praised for his good looks, and said with a smile, "He looks like his mother." Yaoyao looks very similar to her sister, especially the eyes, which are exactly the same.

"Auntie, you are also good-looking." Reciprocity, people praised him for his good-looking, of course he also praised others for their good-looking.

The aunt immediately smiled like a flower: "Young master's mouth is so sweet." After finishing speaking, she took out an apple from the basket she was carrying, "Little master, I'll eat it for you. It's very sweet."

Zhao Yao was not polite, he stretched out his hands to take it, and then gave the aunt a bright smile: "Thank you, aunt."

The aunt didn't hold back, she reached out and touched Zhao Yao's head, "You're welcome."

"Auntie, can I give the apple you gave me to the chick?"

"of course can."

"Thank you, auntie." Zhao Yao turned around and put the red apple in his hand into the bowl in the little girl's hand, "Little girl, I'll eat it for you."

The chick likes eating apples very much, so she immediately thanked Zhao Yao: 【Thank you Yaoyao. ] After finishing speaking, he took the apple back to the old man and gave the apple to the old man.

The old man bowed his hands to thank Zhao Yao, and put the apple in the bamboo building beside him.

The little girl continued to hold the bowl, begging for money from the onlookers.

Seeing Zhao Yao staring at the little monkey, Liang Run picked him up and asked, "Yao Yao, do you like these two monkeys?"

"Well, they are beautiful and very smart." Monkeys are smarter than other animals. The most important thing is that monkeys can do many things like humans, which other animals cannot do.

"We'll buy them if you like them."

"Second Uncle, that old man probably wouldn't have sold the chicks and them." Zhao Yao could tell that the old man liked his two monkeys and treated them as his own children.The most important thing is that the two monkeys can give him money so that he can live in this world. "However, Second Uncle, we can ask Grandpa to bring the chicks to do things for us."

"Work?" Liang Run asked, "What do you do?"

"Second Uncle, there are too many things they can do." Zhao Yao said with a deep smile, "Second Uncle, let's look for them again after their performance is over."

"Okay." Liang Run couldn't see anything special about an old man and two monkeys.

Zhao Yao followed Liang Run to the teahouse not far ahead.They sat by the window on the second floor, just in time to watch the performance of the old man and the two monkeys.

After about half an hour, the performance of the old man and the two monkeys ended.Seeing this, Liang Run hurried out of the teahouse and walked in front of the old man.He said something to the old man, and then the old man followed him into the teahouse with two monkeys.

The chick was very happy to see Zhao Yao, and ran towards him bouncing around.

Zhao Yao hugged it, and it hugged Zhao Yao's neck with both hands, rubbing Zhao Yao's face.Zhao Yao rubbed its face back.

The old man led the big girl and greeted Zhao Yao politely.

Zhao Yao asked the old man to sit down.

Liang Run poured a cup of tea for the old man.

The old man has been performing arts in the rivers and lakes for decades, and he has already developed the ability of "sharp eyes".He could tell at a glance that Zhao Yao's status was noble, and he could also see that Liang Run respected Zhao Yao.

"Grandpa, how old are the big girl and the little girl, have they been following you?"

"Back to the young master, the big girl is three years old this year, and the little girl has just turned two years old this year." The old man said respectfully, "More than a year ago, I accidentally rescued the big girl and the little girl who fell into the trap..."

Da Niu and Xiao Niu fell into a trap set by humans and were seriously injured.The old man took them both home for treatment.Under the careful care of the old man, the older girl and the younger girl gradually recovered.

After recovering from her injury, the older girl did not take the younger girl back to the forest, but chose to stay with the old man and live with him.

The old man had no children and was alone. He was naturally happy to see the two monkeys willing to stay with him.So, they adopted them.

The big girl and the little girl are very smart and can understand people's speech.Therefore, the old man trained them to make money as a performer.Although he didn't make a lot of money, he could support the three of them.In this way, the three of them depended on each other.

"Grandpa, would you like to bring the big girl and the little girl to work for me?" Zhao Yao said, "I will pay you every month and provide a place to live, so that you don't have to go around performing arts."

"Little son, what do you want us to do for you?"

"Grandpa, don't worry, I won't let you do bad things." Zhao Yao said to the old man while stroking the little girl's stomach, "Grandpa, you should know that you will not be safe and sound with the big girl and the little girl performing arts. Sooner or later, the big girl and the little girl will be coveted by others, after all, the big girl and the little girl are too eye-catching, and there will be danger coming to the door."

This speaks to the old man's deepest worries. He is very clear in his heart that the big girl and the little girl are not only good-looking, but also very intelligent and human. The most important thing is that they can make money by performing arts, which will make those who have ulterior motives think about it.With his ability, he can't protect the big girl and the little girl at all.

"Young master, we are willing to help you." The old man always wanted to live a stable life and didn't want to wander around anymore.Now someone hired them and gave them a place to live, which was exactly what he wanted.
