Cao Ge's old eyelids trembled slightly.

It seemed that after a lot of effort, he couldn't open his eyes.

His lips were dry and he was muttering something.

Nan Li got closer and finally heard what Cao Ge said: "Food...Food..."

"..." Nanli's mouth twitched.

She couldn't watch a generation of loyal ministers starve to death on the street, so she asked Zhixi to buy a bowl of porridge.

Seeing that she was going to move Mr. Cao Ge to the side, the people wanted to help.

Nan Li shook her head: "I'll do it."

The clothes on Mr. Cao Ge's body were dirty, and there was still a bad smell on his body, and he didn't know how many days he hadn't washed them.

She disliked him very much, took a handkerchief to cover his shirt, and directly carried him to the side.

Cao Ge was always leaning on the pillar at the door of the shop, still half dead.

Zhixi soon bought porridge and came back.

Nanli has never been very good at taking care of others, so she pouted and asked Zhixi to help.

"No problem, Senior Sister." Zhixi filled the porridge with a small spoon, and when it was almost cold, he brought it to Cao Ge's mouth.

Old Cao Ge's nose twitched.

The mouth opened slightly.

Zhixi fed a spoonful of white porridge, followed by a second spoonful.

Go down with half a bowl of porridge.

Cao Ge didn't say that his complexion had returned to rosy, but he also recovered a little bit of strength, and finally he was able to open his eyes.

He glanced at Zhixi, then moved his head and looked at Nanli, his eyes were instantly soaked, and several emotions were rolling.

Although Nan Li felt that he was old and stubborn, desperate for face, and irresponsible to his wife and children, but after all, he cared about the court and valued the common people. Seeing how pitiful he was now, the disgust in his heart disappeared.

Look, without a virtuous wife and filial son, you can’t get enough to eat or wear warm clothes, right?

"Eat it, one bowl is not enough, two bowls." Nan Li said.

Cao Ge shook his head: "No...Ninth Princess, I...I don't want to eat porridge, I want...I want to eat meat."

Nan Li gave him a blank look, "Although you have no money, you are better than asking for more."

Having said that, she still went to buy a bowl of small wontons.

Cao Ge finished his bowl of porridge, and then he ignored the heat and ate all the small wontons.

He was so fast that Zhixi couldn't help but click his tongue.

You must know that when you were in Xuanyueguan before, there were only so many meals, and whoever was slow to grab and eat, would be hungry.

Cao Ge is always in Xuanyue Temple, and he can definitely fight!
After eating, Cao Ge looked at Nan Li eagerly, obviously, he still wanted to have another bowl.

Nan Li said: "You have been hungry for at least two days, right? You can only eat something to fill your stomach, and you can't eat too much."

Elder Cao Ge also thought of this truth, so he swallowed and stopped begging.

He still wanted to save face, and said: "The money paid by the ninth princess today, I will definitely pay it back next month."

Nan Li said helplessly: "Come on, I invite you today. Didn't you take 100 taels when you reconciled with Li Shi? It's only been a few days, and you spent it all?"

100 taels is enough for the first half of the year in ordinary people's homes.

Mr. Cao Ge has always been thrifty, how could he not spend enough?
Could it be that he was robbed?
Speaking of this, Mr. Cao Ge burst into tears on the spot: "I donated 90 taels for disaster relief, which was enough, but my boy stole the money and ran away! He is really hateful! Damn! "

Nan Li was expressionless.

She said: "For 100 taels, you just donated 90 taels. Don't you keep some spares? And your little boy looks very cute and honest, how could he steal it? Is there some misunderstanding?"

"There is no misunderstanding!" Cao Ge wiped away his tears, "He asked me to hire two women to wash and cook, and I only had the ten taels of silver left over, so I had to save money. I didn't agree. He these days In the mansion, he just did more work, and he is full of resentment, he is not satisfied, but he can discuss it with me, how could he be so cruel and steal all the money!"

Zhixi put her hands in her hands and muttered to the side: "It's just more work... Isn't this treating people like cows? Just one hand, washing, cooking, washing dishes, and wiping the floor. How can I do it well?"

Probably Mr. Cao Ge knew that he was too harsh, blushed, and was not as confident as before: "He signed the contract, how could he be like this..."

Nan Li said: "Whoever follows you will be unlucky. If you want me, I will run too. No, I have to beat you up before I run."

Cao Ge glared at her: "Ninth Princess, don't speak too harshly."

"I'm mean? Well, I won't invite you anymore. A bowl of porridge and a bowl of small wontons cost eighty Wen." Nan Li stretched out her hand and made a gesture of asking for money, "Please give me the money."

Cao Ge's face froze, and he finally managed to say: "I've said it all, I'll pay you back next month."

Nan Li asked again: "Don't you have a Yupei family?"

"No." Elder Cao Ge took it for granted, "I have nothing to lose, and I use it for the people. I don't have any valuable property! It's completely different from your second brother who wears gold and silver!"

Nan Li laughed, "You're wrong, my second brother only wears gold but not silver."

Mr. Cao Ge was too lazy to argue with her, so he forced himself to get up, "Forget it, I will pay you back later. You can give me a ride."

Nan Li quickly took two steps back, "No, you haven't showered for a few days, and your clothes are very dirty, so you can't take my carriage."

Sure enough, I came to touch porcelain!
Her impression of Mr. Cao Ge took a turn for the worse.

Cao Ge was very annoyed, "I am in such a miserable situation, if you still don't send me off, do you have any kindness?"

"Not for you." Nan Li said directly.

"..." Cao Ge didn't know how to respond for a while.

But Nan Li has a keen intuition, "You are not going to borrow money from Mrs. Li, are you?"

Mr. Cao Ge coughed and spoke incoherently: "Ah yes, no, what borrowing money is not borrowing money! I'm going to have a good talk with her. They are old husbands and wives. How can they get along with each other? Woolen cloth!"

Nan Li couldn't help but rolled her eyes at him again.

She put her arms around her chest and said, "Mr. Cao Ge, it's useless if you go, right? Mrs. Li and Mr. Li have experienced life and death that day, and they won't turn back."

"I haven't said it yet, how do you know it's useless." Cao Ge stood up while supporting the wall, his body trembling slightly, "Although you are the Ninth Princess, I have not committed a crime, you can't arrest me and imprison me, I have to go today !"

Seeing that he was wobbly and about to fall at any time, Zhixi quickly helped him up.

"Senior sister, he is too pitiful, or should we send him there?"

Nan Li sighed softly: "Zhixi, you don't know what's going on, so it's better not to get involved."

"As the saying goes, it is better to teach people to beat children than to separate wives. Since he has repented, why can't senior sister help him and accumulate merit?" Zhixi's face was pure and harmless, and her big eyes were extremely clear.

To put it bluntly, it is stupid.

Nan Li was a little helpless, and patted his head, "Okay, let me show you what it means to be shameless and invincible."

When Zhixi was overjoyed, he helped Mr. Cao Ge get into the carriage. (end of this chapter)
