As Xiaobai spoke, he looked at An Jingzhi with suspicion.
The other person had been begging for half a month just like him, and finally fainted from hunger. He thought the other person was going to die, but unexpectedly he woke up suddenly, took him to the river to take a bath, and then said he would take him to the city for a big meal.
If the other party hadn't said he would take him to the city for a big meal, he wouldn't have bothered to take a shower.
But when he thought of the food in the restaurant, just the smell made his stomach growl.
Xiaobai licked his lips. Although his tone was unconvinced, his eyes were filled with anticipation.
The original owner was a farmer's son. Later, his relatives died one after another, and his mother fell seriously ill. The money his father earned from selling himself to the palace saved his mother. From then on, the mother and son depended on each other for survival. However, the original owner's mother also passed away half a year ago.
The original owner then took the jade pendant given to him by his mother and went all the way to the capital to look for his relatives.
When the original owner's father left, he said that he was working for a wealthy family and the money he earned was money for him to settle down.
But the original owner's father never came home, and many people thought he was dead. Only the original owner's mother didn't believe it. However, the journey was long and they didn't have much money, so they couldn't even afford the fare to go to the capital.
Before the original owner's mother died, she asked him to sell all the fields and houses at home to raise money for him to go to the capital to find his father.
After the original owner came to the capital, he had already spent all his money and could not find a job, so he had to beg for a living.
At first, he couldn't beg for anything because he was too embarrassed to do so. Later, when he was very hungry, he learned some things and was able to beg for some food. However, when he begged for something, he overstepped the line and was chased and beaten by other beggars.
The original owner was lucky enough not to be beaten to death. He continued to beg for food while recuperating. After he recovered a lot, he wanted to gather a group of his own men and learn from other beggar gangs, so that he would no longer be afraid of being beaten for begging in other people's territory.
When he saw Xiaobai, Xiaobai was pinned to the ground and beaten by two elderly beggars who wanted to steal his half steamed bun. The original owner helped him knock down the two beggars by a sneak attack, and then pulled them away together.
Then Xiaobai started to follow him, and the original owner also had his first official subordinate.
Unfortunately, ideals are full and reality is skinny. He looks weak and even if he joins another beggar gang, no one wants him, let alone wanting to be the boss of other beggars.
After half a month, he still only had one subordinate.
But the original owner was very lucky. When he was begging, he ran into a noble person, and the jade pendant was seen by the other party. Then he found his father naturally.
After finding his father, the original owner realized that his father did not work for a wealthy family in the capital, but was a eunuch in the palace. The reason he could not go home for so many years was that eunuchs were not allowed to leave the palace at will.
From then on, the original owner soared from a street beggar who was bullied by everyone to the only son of the Ninth Prince who had great power in the court.
He found opportunities to take revenge on all the beggars who bullied him.
He also learned jealousy from the sons of powerful people in Kyoto and ended up in prostitution.
When the original owner was rampant, even the eldest son of the prime minister of the time had to avoid his edge.
Unfortunately, the original owner did not see the situation clearly and was misled by others, and then he felt ashamed to have such a eunuch father.
He asked his father to help him and became an official appointed by the court. Later, he secretly turned to the civil officials and helped collect evidence of his father's crimes. Finally, he killed his father for the sake of justice and overthrew him with his own hands, for which he was rewarded lavishly by the emperor.
After his father died, the original owner did enjoy a period of glory.
But when the emperor's love for him gradually faded, the original owner died a very miserable death. He was framed for rebellion and his entire family was executed.
It would take some time for the original owner to meet his biological father, but An Jingzhi had already seen the original owner's memories and naturally knew how to find him quickly. He didn't want to continue living in the dilapidated temple and endure mosquito bites.
In ancient times, diseases were mostly spread by mosquitoes. Don't let yourself be killed by infectious diseases before the mission even begins.
Walking towards a certain direction in the city with confidence, An Jingzhi held his head high and chest out, making people feel that he was not a little beggar. If he were not dressed in rags, other people might have looked at him a few more times.
"Don't worry, Brother Jing said he would take you to a big dinner, and he will definitely take you to a big dinner today."
Xiaobai swallowed his saliva. He had already eaten the bowl of rotten rice that he was supposed to have today, but it had no oil or water in it. Now he was hungry again.
"Showering is so tiring. I feel like all the food I ate is gone. Brother Jing, please don't lie to me."
Generally, after eating, Xiaobai will choose a place where it is easier to beg and sit down. This way, he can consume less food and get hungry more slowly.
An Jingzhi looked at him mockingly, "Look at you, what good would it do to lie to you? Just follow me."
Xiaobai nodded and followed the other person closely.
Looking at the other person's back as he walked in front of him, Xiaobai felt that something seemed wrong. Why was he different from the Brother Jing he had seen before?
After the other party rescued him, Xiaobai has been following him. Although he always calls the other party brother, he actually feels that the other party's begging experience is not as good as his, and he told the other party many of the rules of begging.
It's just that he really needs someone to chat and talk with him.
Most beggars looked down on him, thinking that he was young and useless and could not get anything.
Or they wanted to capture him, break his legs and force him to beg.
Only Brother Jing would not bully him. Ever since they started begging together for a living, although he still did not have enough to eat every day, and although he might have to share more food with the other party and might go hungry himself, he still enjoyed it.
"Brother Jing, wait for me!" Xiaobai thought for a while, and An Jingzhi had already walked a few steps away.
Turning his head to look at the other person, An Jingzhi felt sorry for him.
Later, the original owner became the only son of Jiuqianzhai, and Xiaobai became his follower, staying by his side from beginning to end.
The original owner was from the countryside and had no idea of the rules. In addition, although many people respected An Zhongyi on the surface, they actually looked down on him behind his back. As a result, the original owner was respected on the surface but talked about behind his back.
After hearing this, Xiaobai told the original owner about it many times. At first, the original owner was indignant and asked someone to teach those people a lesson, but later, after hearing it too many times, he found Xiaobai annoying.
Few people like someone who always brings you bad news, even if the bad news has nothing to do with the other person.
Obviously, Xiaobai is such a role to the original owner.
Xiaobai was gradually marginalized. After the original owner alienated him, the servants in the mansion naturally looked down on him.
Finally, when he found out that the original owner wanted to conspire with others to kill his own father, Xiaobai tried to stop the original owner and told him not to be stupid, but the original owner killed him out of ruthlessness.
At that time, the original owner had only the thought of becoming a civil servant who would go down in history. What else was there?
