That Yu Dayou said that he was girly, of course Xu Jin didn't agree, he was just handsome, and the word "girly" was suitable to describe the little beggar in front of him.

At this time, it was dinner time, and tonight there was an extra pair of chopsticks on the table, and there was an extra person next to him, it was the little beggar who fainted at the gate of the courtyard yesterday morning.

Yesterday, Xu Jin invited a doctor, perhaps because of proper treatment, this little beggar actually had a fever after drinking the decoction, and today he can even get out of bed and walk around.

At this time, the little beggar was sitting opposite Xu Jin, with a white and delicate face, big and bright eyes, like a little girl, wearing Xu Jin's big clothes, with a kind of "quail-style" cringe and cuteness.

The little beggar seemed to be a little afraid of Xu Jin's scrutinizing gaze, and ate silently with his head down, his teeth were neat and delicate, and they were very white, which made the girls jealous.

"Little slave, eat more!" Xie Xiaowan put a piece of chicken into the little beggar's bowl and said with a pleasant face.

"Thank you, Sister Xiaowan!" The little beggar nodded politely.

Xie Xiaowan smiled: "You're welcome, hurry up and eat, it's going to be cold later!" ”

Xie Xiaowanniang has a very beloved younger brother at home, who is the same age as the little beggar in front of her, plus this little beggar is beautiful and cute, and has a sweet mouth and knows how to be polite, so the little girl is even more loving.

The little beggar bit off the skin of the chicken and was about to spit it out, but found that Xu Jin was looking at him, so he frowned and swallowed the chicken skin, looking at his uncomfortable appearance, as if he was eating.

Xu Jin asked quietly: "Little slave, where is your home, why are you begging on the streets?" ”

The little slave replied: "My home seems to be on the other side of Huguang, I don't remember the specific place, I was abducted by bad people when I was very young, and I forgot what my parents looked like!" ”

Xie Xiaowan sighed and said: "Xianggong, the little slave is really pitiful, or let him live in our house in the future, and save him from wandering around begging and being bullied by the beggars in the Chenghuang Temple." ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but be speechless, Xiaowan, this girl is still too simple, this little slave has delicate and white skin, delicate and neat teeth, is this what a beggar who sleeps in the open and wanders can have?

It is clear that this little slave lied, and with the tone and coherence of his speech, it is obvious that he is well educated, and his family is definitely well-off, and it is not ordinary.

In ancient times, it was not possible for ordinary people to raise their children to look like this, take the teeth as an example, the children of poor families who often chewed coarse grains must have thick and yellow teeth, even uneven, and the teeth that are as white and neat as the little slaves must have been eaten very fine since childhood, and they are well maintained.

Xu Jin didn't know why this little beggar was lying, but there must be a reason, of course, Xu Jin didn't want to know, he didn't want to cause trouble, he was already benevolent and righteous to be able to cure people, and said lightly: "Xiaowan, the little slave has no household registration and can't stay in our house, I'll send him to the county government tomorrow!" ”

The little slave's face turned pale when she heard this, and she shook her head and said, "I won't go to the county office, Sister Xiaowan, I don't want to go to the county office!" ”

"Xianggong, or ......"

"No, we can't take in people of unknown origin!" Xu Jin interrupted categorically, because the little slave's performance at this time made him even more suspicious.

"Sister Xiaowan, I don't want to go to the official mansion, I beg you, don't send me to the official mansion!" The little slave threw herself into Xie Xiaowan's arms, her little face full of fear.

Xie Xiaowan was embarrassed and pitiful, and said softly: "Okay, don't send it, we won't send you to the government, Xianggong, let's leave the little slave, okay?" ”

Xu Jin frowned and said: "Xiaowan, it's not that the husband is ruthless, the little slave has no household registration, and the origin is unknown, if something happens, we will be responsible." ”

Xie Xiaowan was immediately embarrassed when she heard this, although she was kind-hearted, but if it would affect her own family, she had to think carefully.

"I don't go to the government, the government is in cahoots with those beggars, they will hand me over to those beggars, they will break my hands and feet, let me lie on the side of the street to help them beg for money, then it is better to let me die!" The little slave suddenly sat up and slammed into the table.

Suddenly, the little beggar fainted on the spot, and a big bag swollen on his forehead.

"Ahh Xie Xiaowan exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly picked up the little beggar.

Xu Jin was also startled, and quickly stood up and touched the little beggar's neck, and found that there was still a pulse, but he just fainted, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Xianggong, let's not send the little slave to the government, okay?" Xie Xiaowan looked at Xu Jin pitifully.

Xu Jin could only nod helplessly and said, "Then let him stay for the time being!" ”

Xu Jin really didn't expect this little beggar to be so afraid of the government, and would rather commit suicide than go to the government.

Xie Xiaowan said happily: "Thank you, Xianggong!" ”

"Don't be too happy, it's just temporary, and if the government checks the household registration, it's useless for us to keep him!"

Xie Xiaowan nodded and said, "At least it's good to wait for the cold winter!" ”

The little beggar just knocked him unconscious, pinched the middle, and woke up in a moment, but he hung his head and said nothing.

Xu Jin said: "Sensei pretended to be pitiful, let's eat, I decided not to send you to the official mansion!" ”

A hint of joy flashed in the little beggar's eyes, but he immediately heard Xu Jin say: "But you can't eat and live in vain at home, you have to help with the work, if you dare to be lazy, I will kick you out." ”

"I'll help with the work, I won't eat and live for nothing!"

Xu Jin hummed lightly and said, "That's the best, after eating, you wash the dishes, and it's also you who boil hot water!" ”

"Got it!" The little beggar was a little angry.

Xie Xiaowan couldn't help but glance at Xianggong!

"Alright, let's eat!" Xu Jin glanced at the swollen tumor on the little beggar's forehead, but felt that his eyes were more pleasing to the eye, obviously he was a boy, why did he look so beautiful!

After everyone finished eating, the little slave was about to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but Xie Xiaowan grabbed it and said softly: "Little slave, your illness is not well yet, and there is a wound on your head, wash the dishes and let my sister come!" ”

The little slave peeked at Xu Jin and saw that he had no objection, so he put the bowl down.

"Little slave, go to the kitchen and boil hot water!" Xu Jin said lightly.

The little slave hummed and walked to the kitchen, although he promised happily, but there was obviously a trace of annoyance in his eyes.

A moment later, billowing smoke billowed from the kitchen......

"Hey, little slave, will you burn the fire, or let my sister come!"

"Oh, then I'll help Sister Xiaowan wash the dishes!"

Clang, the sound of a bowl breaking came out......

"Hey, you...... The more you help, the more you help, little slave, you better go out and rest, well, by the way, bring out this pot of hot water, make a cup of tea for Xianggong, be careful, don't burn yourself! ”

The little slave ran out of the kitchen in disgrace, his face black and white, like a little flower-faced cat, and a hot water kettle in his hand.

Xu Jin couldn't help but shake his head, he guessed that this would be the result, and turned around and walked towards the study.

The little slave stomped his feet in annoyance and followed Xu Jin into the study.

"Where's the tea set?" The little slave asked, puffing out his cheeks.

Xu Jin pointed to the coffee table: "They all see you!" ”

The little slave rolled her eyes and stomped over hard, like an angry little kid, well, a little kid!

The little slave hurriedly made a cup of tea, put it in front of the desk, and said stiffly: "Drink tea!" ”

Due to excessive force, the tea in the cup spilled. Xu Jin couldn't help frowning and said, "You can't be light, haven't served anyone?" ”

"Yes, Ben...... I just haven't served anyone! The little slave said with a swollen face.

Xu Jin shook his head, picked up the teacup and glanced at it, and said lightly: "The tea has not been washed, right?" Unwashed tea is called mud tea, you know? ”

The little slave couldn't help rolling her eyes, and snorted in her heart: "Just a poor scholar, drinking such inferior tea, and being poor!" ”

The little slave made a cup of tea for Zuo Jin again, and this time he washed the tea leaves.

Xu Jin took a sip of the teacup, looked at the little slave with a flowery face, and couldn't help but want to laugh a little, but he still tried his best to maintain an unpredictable calm, and said lightly: "The reason why I agreed to take you in is not because of how kind I am as a person, if you think so, you are very wrong."

Xiaowan is my only relative, and the person I care about the most, I can take you in because of her, but I will not tolerate the harm caused to her by taking you in. ”

The little slave bowed his head and was silent.

"In addition, put away your little cleverness in front of me in the future, and commit suicide by hitting the table to hit the corner of the table, not the tabletop, it will be easy to die, you know!"

The little slave's little face was swollen red, she raised her head and glared at Xu Jin, and said loudly: "I'm not clever, you...... You just can't get used to me, why don't you like me! ”

Xu Jin almost squirted out a mouthful of tea, please, why should I like you, besides, you are a little boy, can you talk so girly!

Xu Jin put down the teacup, waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't you stare at me, go out and wash your face first." Also, when the weather warms up in the spring of the next year, you will have to leave. ”

The little slave raised his hand and wiped his face with his sleeve, turned around and strode out of the study, and when he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and said: "Do you think that I rarely live in your broken yard, is it amazing, I don't need you to rush then, I will leave myself, hum!" ”

Xu Jin was secretly funny, a little kid is a little kid after all, even if he is a little smart, he was provoked by his own words and showed a lot of horses.

Now Xu Jin is sure that this little kid's family background is by no means simple, not only rich, but also expensive, but somehow he will be reduced to begging on the streets.

……

In the night, a group of beggars returned to the Chenghuang Temple, and one of them scolded and said: "Mada, the brothers have searched the entire Shangrao County, but they haven't found the little slave's little bastard!" ”

"Ma Laoqi, it's not that you want to mess with the back of others, scared him away, and caused the boss to lose fifty taels of silver in vain, fifty taels!"

"Cut, Ge Lao Liu, as if you don't want to, that little bastard looks more beautiful than a little girl, and her skin is so tender...... Gee! ”

"Hey, don't say it, the little slave is really suitable for being a rabbit, no wonder some people are willing to pay five hundred taels to buy it!"
