"Yes, Qingzhou is so poor that people have to eat earth. Of course, King Jin came here to borrow food from our prefect." The clerk tilted his head and pointed his nose at Ying Qi.
Ying Qi exchanged a glance with Princess Jin, and helped her out of the prefect's residence.
"Qingzhou is close to Youzhou, only two days away. The letter you sent to Qingzhou should have arrived by now, Yingqi. If the prince came to Youzhou early to borrow grain, he must have missed your letter."
Princess Jin said nervously, "Ying Qi, go find out where the prince lives now and notify him as soon as possible to rescue Gan'er."
"I'll do it right away."
At this time, Zhao Chengqian and Ruanruan were still asleep.
"Ruanruan, it's time for breakfast. You little lazy pig, why aren't you awake yet? Do you still want to go out and play?" Uncle Ruan opened the door of Ruanruan's room, stretched out his hand, yawned, and walked in.
He glanced at the bed, his heart pounding with fear, his eyes widened, "Oh shit! Who is this kid?"
Where did this wild boy come from!
He actually slept in the same bed with his niece.
"Hmm...hmm?" Ruanruan woke up from her sleep and rubbed her eyes.
She looked at her uncle's surprised face, narrowed her eyes, and yawned, "What's wrong, uncle?"
"Who is this kid? Why is he in your bed?" Uncle Ruan's eyes were fixed on Zhao Chengqian's sleeping face.
Ruanruan turned her head to glance at Zhao Chengqian who was sleeping peacefully beside her, and said calmly, "You mean little brother Gan?"
"What, what, brother...where did he come from?"
Uncle Ruan felt a little bitter. Where did this wild little brother come from? He was so angry that his little niece protected him so much.
Ruanruan waved her hand, "Uncle, don't make a fuss. Brother Xiaogan is Ruanruan's friend."
While the two were talking, Zhao Chengqian showed signs of waking up. He frowned and turned over, and the clothes he was wearing were exposed from under the quilt.
Uncle Ruan looked at the familiar clothes and his head skipped a beat. He asked why Ruanruan suddenly ran into his room last night to look for his childhood clothes. It turned out that it was for this boy.
"He came to our house last night? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Uncle Ruan regretted it so much. He should have come to his niece's room to check when he noticed something was wrong last night.
Who would have thought that there was a man hiding in his niece's room - no, a wild boy!
"Uncle, please keep your voice down. My little brother finally fell asleep." Ruanruan made a gesture to keep quiet, put on her little slippers, and dragged Uncle Ruan out the door.
Uncle Ruan's heart was almost broken. A wild boy was more important than him, his uncle?
He actually let his little niece protect him so carefully.
"Ruanruan, I need an explanation. How did he come here? Whose child is he?"
Uncle Ruan stared at Ruanruan with a serious attitude.
Ruanruan explained: "Uncle, Xiaogan brother is Ruanruan's friend. He came here specifically to look for Ruanruan."
"Where are his parents? How dare they leave the child alone in our house in the middle of the night?"
"His parents..." Ruanruan gritted her teeth and looked at Uncle Ruan nervously, sweat breaking out on her forehead.
She clenched her little fists tightly.
"You don't have to make things difficult for Ruanruan. My parents went out and left me alone at home. I... I came to find Ruanruan because I was scared." Zhao Chengqian woke up at some point and suddenly pushed open the door and replied.
After he said these words, he tilted his head and coughed lightly, and his pale little face turned a little red.
Uncle Ruan still felt a little strange when he saw his awkward look. Why did this kid speak so elegantly and have such long hair?
But looking at his serious expression, he doesn't seem to be lying.
"May I have your name?"
"Zhao Chengqian."
"Where do you live? What's your parents' phone number?" Uncle Ruan looked at him and took out his cell phone.
Ruanruan immediately hugged her uncle's thighs when she heard this, "Uncle, please don't chase my little brother away."
"Ruanruan, your uncle doesn't want to chase him away, but you still have to tell your little brother's parents about this matter so that they don't worry." Uncle Ruan touched Ruanruan's little head and explained.
Zhao Chengqian's heart sank and he clenched his fists. His mother must be very worried at this moment, but there was nothing he could do.
Uncle Ruan looked at Zhao Chengqian, feeling a little surprised. This kid looked to be ten years old, so how did he become friends with Ruanruan?
"I...I don't know." He lowered his head, his voice a little tense.
Seeing how he looked, Uncle Ruan thought that he was not getting along well with his parents, so he sneaked out and didn't want to go home.
"Let's talk about this later. Go wash up, change clothes, and go downstairs for breakfast." He looked at the message on his phone and frowned.
As he spoke, Uncle Ruan took out his cell phone and made a call.
Ruanruan immediately grabbed Zhao Chengqian's hand and walked into the room, "Brother Xiaogan, let's wash up!"
Zhao Chengqian nodded, took the new toothbrush that Ruanruan found, and imitated Ruanruan to wash his face and brush his teeth on the sink.
"Brother Xiaogan, your hair is so long. Let me braid it for you."
Ruanruan took a comb and a small rubber band from her small dressing table.
She asked Zhao Chengqian to sit on the small stool in front of her and began to comb her hair in a very professional manner.
Uncle Ruan, who had just finished a phone call, happened to see this scene and felt extremely sad. His niece had never been so nice to him.
"Ruanruan, his hair is so long and thick, don't you feel tired?"
"No, uncle, look at my little brother's long hair, it looks so good! I want to have such long hair in the future." Ruanruan said happily.
