Liu Hao looked at Nangong Yunxue in embarrassment.
"Jiu'er said she wants to stay at the Charity Hall for two days. What do you think?"
Nangong Yunxue said worriedly: "Jiu'er, you are a person with ideas and abilities. You want to pretend to be a beggar to understand the people's sentiments. Mother supports you.
But, after all, you are only a nine-month-old child. If you go to live in a charity home, how will you find food, clothing, shelter and transportation? Mother is worried.
"Don't worry, Mom, it'll only take two days. If it doesn't work, I'll put some food in my little pocket so I can take it out and eat it anytime."
As for living and traveling, I have my little Wang Xiaoxing and my aunts, so I can't bear the hardship.
Nangong Yunxue had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Liu Hao placed Nangong Jiu on his lap and sat facing him.
“Every profession has its own rules. Even if you are pretending to be a beggar, you should understand their rules.
Otherwise, be careful they might gang up on you. Then, it would be wrong for you to fight back, and it would be wrong for you not to fight back either.”
Nangong Jiu patted his chest.
【Don't worry, there's nothing I can't handle! 】
"That's fine! You go and learn about the lives of beggars and ordinary people, and your mother and I will learn about the merchants and the famous families in Gong County."
[Okay, I'll summarize it in two days, and I'll take my time with the rest.]
The next day at the beginning of the morning hour.
Nangong Jiu woke up, turned over and sat up with sleepy eyes, staring at one place in a daze without blinking.
One of the little tufts of hair on her head was drooping, and the other was completely loose, with her hair scattered all over her head in a mess.
Seeing that she hadn't moved for a long time, Xiao Wang teased her, "Your Majesty, come back to your senses!
You have to quickly tidy up your messy hair, change into beggar's clothes, pick up the broken bowl, and go out to beg.
They say the early bird catches the worm, and the early beggar catches the meal."
Nangong Jiu came back to his senses: "Oh, yes, today is my first day as a beggar.
Where's mother? Where did mother go? "
"Madam should be in the yard downstairs. She will probably be back soon."
Nangong Jiu scratched his hair and said, "I won't wait for mother anymore. Let the aunts come out and help me clean up."
A moment later, Ah Bing and Ah Qing appeared, one brought water for washing and the other brought beggar's clothes.
After tidying up her hair in a few steps, Ah Bing looked left and right, and felt that it looked weird. She messed up the small bun she had just combed, and took a few steps back to look at it again.
"Well, now it looks like that."
Ayu and Ajie brought breakfast, a bowl of porridge and a basket of fragrant steamed buns.
"Princess, I will feed you some porridge and put the buns away later. You can eat them when you are hungry."
Nangong Jiu grabbed a bun and started to eat it. After a few bites, he pointed at the porridge and A Yu fed him a spoonful.
The master and servant cooperated very well.
When Liu Hao and Nangong Yunxue came back, they were stunned to see Nangong Jiushi, who was wearing tattered clothes and had messy hair.
After coming back to his senses, he suppressed his laughter and asked, "Jiu'er has gotten up to eat?"
Nangong Jiu puffed up his face like a little hamster and nodded.
Nangong Yunxue took the porridge from Ayu's hand and fed it to Nangong Jiu spoonful by spoonful.
After eating and drinking, Liu Hao pointed at Nangong Jiu's fair and round face.
"She looks fine, but Jiuer's face doesn't look like a beggar. Put some dust on her face."
Ah Bing hesitated and said, "Your Highness, Miss, do you really want to do this? The princess is so young, there is no need for her to suffer this."
Nangong Yunxue hugged Nangong Jiu and persuaded him, "Jiu'er, you are still a baby, there is no need to put everything on your shoulders.
If you want to understand the situation of the fiefdom and understand the sentiments of the people there, we can send someone to find out.
If you want to go out, we can take you out for a walk and we won’t have to pretend to be beggars, okay?”
Nangong Jiu jumped excitedly in Nangong Yunxue's arms.
[I have to go, my mother and uncle promised me, I can't go back on my word!]
Liu Hao looked at the noisy Nangong Jiu and waved at Ah Bing.
Ah Bing got some black ash from somewhere and smeared it all over Nangong Jiu's fair little face and exposed skin.
The originally fair and tender Nangong Jiu suddenly turned into a dark-skinned beggar boy.
"Now it seems like it's happening!" Liu Hao suppressed his laughter.
Everything was ready, and Nangong Jiuru rode Xiao Wang out the door like a general going to war.
Nangong Yunxue quickly packed the things she needed into a bag and asked Ah Bing to take it with her: "You must take good care of her. If there is any problem, contact us immediately."
Ah Bing agreed and quickly chased after him.
Nangong Yunxue was worried and wanted to catch up, but Liu Hao smiled and said, "Don't worry, we have someone watching over us, so nothing will go wrong.
Haven't you noticed? Jiu'er is very persistent in going out to experience life. Just think of her as going out to play, as long as she is happy. "
At the corner of a busy street.
Xiao Wang carried Nangong Jiu to a deserted place and quickly put Nangong Jiu down.
He transformed himself into a crutch in Nangong Jiu's hand, leading Nangong Jiu to a crowded place.
Nangong Jiu sat down on the ground, took out the broken bowl from his small pocket and placed it in front of him.
This action quickly attracted the attention of many passers-by: "Oh, that child is so young, and he has become a little beggar, what a sin."
An old lady with a kind face shook her head, put a few copper coins in Nangong Jiu's broken bowl, took out a lotus leaf from the basket, and put a steamed bun on it.
With the first one, there will be the second, the third...
After a while, there was half a bowl of copper coins in Nangong Jiu's broken bowl, and a lot of food was piled on the lotus leaf.
One woman even came forward and asked, "Child, where are your family members? You are so young and you have to come out to make a living. What will you do in the future?"
Otherwise, you can come with me. Although my family is not rich, we still have enough to eat."
Nangong Jiu bowed to express his gratitude, then shook his head to refuse.
The woman sighed and left.
Nangong Jiu excitedly and subtly bestowed good luck on everyone who helped him.
Well, my people are still good and deserve my good protection.
However, the joy did not last long.
A group of beggars came to Nangong Jiu with jealous eyes.
"Hey, where are you from? Why are you trying to steal our business?"
A few beggars rushed forward and tried to snatch the copper coins from the broken bowl.
As a result, the copper coin in the broken bowl seemed to have taken root and could not be picked up.
"Hey, this is weird, what kind of magic did you use?"
Nangong Jiu picked up the bowl with a smile and distributed the copper coins to the beggars.
A beggar who looked like a leader nodded.
"Well, you are a sensible person. Since you are so sensible, we will let you make a living on this street.
I am the leader of the beggars on this street, my name is Xiao Chengzi, you can call me Brother Cheng.
You are so young and can't even speak, you are really pitiful. I will protect you from now on."
As Ah Cheng spoke, he sat down next to Nangong Jiu, and the other beggars followed suit, sitting in rows.
Hehe...it was so easy to gain the recognition of the beggars and become a little beggar in everyone's eyes.
After Nangong Jiu was happy, he started to feel troubled again.
"How should I ask them?"
