Poor children

Chapter 34

一
"Taoist Master, the poor man asked me to come. He said you have something to eat." Tiedan was extremely hungry at this moment.

"Poverty asked you to come to me for food? Who are you?" Sanyang Master asked

"I am her adopted brother, my name is Tiedan"

"Sworn brother? Where did you come from? Why don't I know? Who told you to come to my place to eat?"

"We became sworn friends a few nights ago, and she asked me to pass on a few words to you." Tiedan arrived.
"What?"

"I'm hungry and don't have the energy to say so many words. Please give me food first..."

With a look of disgust on his face, the Taoist priest shouted at the pharmacy, "Old Xu, Old Xu, Shopkeeper Xu!"

Shopkeeper Xu ran over hurriedly, "What's the matter? Do you want to pay me back my money?"

"Do you recognize this child?"

After hearing this, shopkeeper Xu saw Tiedan and said, "I recognize the one who got the medicine yesterday."

"You give him some money for dinner"

Shopkeeper Xu looked suspiciously at the Taoist priest, "What are you talking about? Give him money to eat? What do you think I am here? I have to pay anyone who wants to eat?"

"Credit to my account" said the Taoist priest
"You'd better pay back the previous money first, and keep your account. Do you think you have the money to pay back?"

"How about I build you a waterway dojo in a few days? You use the money to buy him steamed buns first. If my disciple has something to tell me, this young master won't say anything until he's full..."

Shopkeeper Xu hesitated to speak, and took out money to Tie Dan to tell him to buy buns. The Taoist priest is used to being casual, and only cares about everything if it has something to do with poor children.

Seeing Tiedan licking his fingers when he was full, the Taoist priest asked again, "What did I ask you to tell me?"

"We picked up a girl from a mass grave yesterday and brought her back. The poor boy has to take care of her for the next few days. He said he would visit you in a few days and told you not to miss her."

"Is she the one who got the plague?"

"Yes, she looked very scary when we saw her, but she is much better today. She is really amazing." Tiedan couldn't help but praise, "Taoist priest..."

"What's the matter?"

"Are you the poor master?"

"Yes"

"Oh"

The two of them were speechless...

"Did you teach the poor children the medical skills?" Tiedan asked
"I don't have any medical skills, so she read the medical books herself."

"Then what did you teach her?"

"Learn to be bad" "Be bad? Do you still need to learn if you are bad?"
"Do you think eating, drinking, whoring and gambling is bad? Superficial... You have become her brother now, so you have to take good care of her and protect her. Poor children are destined to be unhappy in this life. I will teach her some strategies to make her dare to do harm to her. I want her to learn to do whatever it takes to survive. I just want her to live well, but her nature is too kind, and it is not easy to learn bad things."

"Otherwise, the Taoist Master will teach me to learn bad things. I have talent and I will definitely learn quickly." Tiedan arrived.
"You? I think you do have talent. You are already pretty bad without learning..."

"Chenghe, wait for me. You are walking so fast that I can't keep up with you."

"Why is Fourth Aunt always following me? You should panic when my grandmother can't see you later." Chenghe said. The person who had been following Chenghe was none other than Lin Yuefang, the granddaughter of the old lady's cousin. In order to avoid trouble a few days ago, Married into the palace and became the prince's concubine, and now lives in the east courtyard with the old lady
"I just came here. I don't know many things. My ancestors also asked you to take care of me more, but you are so impatient, which makes me very sad." The two of them said as they entered the North Courtyard one after another.

Cheng Zhecai and Fang Shaoqin had practiced sword practice and were resting in the courtyard.
"When did uncle come?" Chenghe went up and saluted.

"I just came here after lunch. I haven't seen you two brothers for a long time. I was afraid that your martial arts were rusty, so I came over to take a look." Uncle Fang said while looking into the room.

Chenghe already knew in his heart that Lianrong of the Kan family still lived here, and his uncle came to see Miss Kan by teaching him two swordsmanship.
"Who is this little girl?" Fang Shaoqin asked, pointing to the fourth lady

"My Fourth Aunt" Cheng He arrives
"Who is yours? Fourth aunt? Did your father marry you?" Shaoqin's eyes were wide open at this time.
The second lady was working with Kan Lianrong in the house to embroider Miss Kan's wedding dress. When they heard that there was a lot of noise in the yard, they went out with Miss Kan to have a look. Unexpectedly, they saw Lin Yuefang coming.
"Yuefang is here? Why aren't you accompanying your ancestor?" the second lady asked
"My ancestors had lunch and rested. I have to take some time out for a walk, but Mr. Chenghe doesn't like to talk to me." Lin Yuefang twisted the handkerchief with her hands.
"Come on," the second lady waved her over. "Anyway, you are the wife of Chenghe's father. Although you are younger than him, he is your son. Do you understand? Since ancient times, there has always been a relationship between seniority and inferiority. It’s divided, that’s why Chenghe is like this, you just came, and the old lady loves you, so you should learn some rules slowly.”

Uncle Fang sighed with emotion, "Sister! This brother-in-law's wives are getting younger and younger. This wife is younger than his son. What on earth does he think about this?"

"She is a relative of the old lady. She is in trouble. I just use this method to save her. There are many things going on here, so don't ask." The second lady arrived

At this time, another poor child was seen entering the courtyard. The two brothers, Cheng and He, saw her coming and greeted her. It had been a long time since they had seen the children chatting lively.

"Poor" the second lady called her
Only then did the poor boy remember that he had accepted the errand, and hurriedly came over to give the second lady a gift. "Go back to the second lady's kitchen. Mother Su sent me over to answer the question. The blood swallows brought in during the Chinese New Year in the kitchen have been used up, and the bird's nests stewed for the lady in the evening are instead made of official bird's nests." Yan doesn't know if it's possible."

"Why not? I just remember that the blood swallow weighed about ten kilograms, so how could it be eaten up in just half a year?"

"Back to the Second Madam, the Third Madam is pregnant. The imperial doctor said that she has weak Qi and needs to take more supplements, so she eats blood swallow stew almost every day."

"I know" the second lady arrived

When Fang Shaoqin saw the poor boy coming, he asked, "Is the fat lady in the kitchen nice to you?"

"Well, very good" Paoer replied, "Who is this?"

"This is my uncle. When your grandma passed away, you refused to come home. It was my uncle and Jin Shuner who brought you back. Have you forgotten?" Chenghe said

"Poor, please give my uncle a greeting." The poor boy went over to salute, and Fang Shaoqin thought to himself, "Why don't you call me uncle? If my master knows about it, he won't kill me."

Before Fang Shaoqin could say anything, Chenghe pulled the poor girl aside and took out a grasshopper gourd from his arms and gave it to her, "Look, I got this from school two days ago. It makes a loud noise. You I was bored living by myself, so I wanted to give it to you, but I didn’t have time yet, but you happened to be here today.”

Pao'er took it and looked at it carefully, he liked it very much.
"Who are you?" Lin Yuefang saw that the two of them were so close.

"She is a poor handyman in the kitchen" Cheng He said
"A handyman, why are you so close to her?"

"Why not?" When Chenghe arrived, he turned around and said to the poor boy, "This is the fourth aunt that Dad just married into the house."

The poor man understood in his heart, because that day the cooks seemed to have said that the new fourth lady was not expected to be so young.
