As the two talked, they soon came to a shabby place. Beibei frowned and looked at the place: "Brother, what are we doing here?"
Nan Nan said seriously, "We have no one to protect us now. It's very dangerous. So we have to protect ourselves. The safest ones are the little beggars."
Beibei is very smart and his eyes widened immediately: "So, brother, are we going to transform into little beggars?"
Nan Nan nodded: "Yes, this is the only way it won't be so dangerous. Well, since we have decided to run away from home, let's get started!"
Beibei was still confused about what was going on when he saw Nannan taking off his coat, tearing it several times, and then wiping some dust on the ground.
Soon he became dirty all over, and seeing Beibei was still clean, he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Sister, do you want your brother to help you?"
Both of them were wearing the vests that Qian Jiujiu made for them, which were very clean. As for the outer coats, they were a little dirty, but Bei Bei really didn't mind and soon got himself dirty.
She even grabbed some dust from the ground and wiped it on her face: "Brother, this is more like it, I need to cover my face as well. We look very cute, maybe I will meet someone who is kind enough to help me."
Nan Nan nodded: "You are right."
Who knew that just as he finished speaking, Beibei touched his head with a handful of ash, and his hair immediately became a mess. He was speechless for a moment. Then quickly...
Nan Nan also grabbed a handful of ashes, and the two of them rubbed each other with them. Their silver bell-like laughter spread far and wide in the night. Wan Yin watched all this.
I couldn't help but frown: "Looking at the two kids, I really don't know whether to say they are smart or stupid. They made themselves so dirty."
Gu Xiong laughed: "Of course it's smart. This way it's not convenient for us to find them, and we can also better protect ourselves. I'm curious, what will these two kids do next."
Who knew that the two kids were tired from playing and just lay down to sleep. Gu Xiong and the others were speechless. The secret guard couldn't help but speak when he saw this situation.
"Master, Madam, why don't you go back and rest."
The two shook their heads: "Just find a tree to squat for a while, the two children will definitely not be able to rest for long."
Gu Xiong was right. Just as the day dawned, the two children woke up. Beibei touched his stomach and looked at Nannan: "Brother, I'm hungry."
Nan Nan was also a little hungry at this time, and looked at Bei Bei: "Sister, I have some banknotes and silver beans with me, I can go buy food. Let's go."
Beibei pulled Nannan and said, "Slow down, let's see what others are using first. I heard from Aunt Qingyue that we brought a lot of banknotes."
Nan Nan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's go."
The two of them came to a street full of breakfast vendors, and heard people shouting, "Steamed buns, buns for sale, two cents each."
Nanbeibei looked at each other, their eyes full of question marks. Two cents? They had never seen one cent at a time before? So the two pairs of eyes flashed with doubt and looked at the bun seller.
The man selling buns was a young man. Seeing the two beggars looking at him like that, he couldn't help but frown. It was so early in the morning and there was not a single customer. It turned out to be two little beggars.
He waved his hand and said, "Go away! Go away, beggar. It's bad luck to see beggars so early in the morning."
Nanbeibei was very angry, but they also knew that wealth should not be exposed. Beibei looked at him with grievance and pitiful eyes: "Uncle, I'm sorry."
"We're leaving now, but we're really hungry. Please give us a bun. My brother and I will share it. I'll thank you."
Nan Nan opened his mouth, obviously a little surprised. Why didn't he know that his sister could beg? If his mother knew about this.
Will he be beaten to death? He pulled Beibei with one hand and said, "Sister, we don't want to eat anymore. Let's go."
The man selling buns looked at the two children and was stunned for a moment. "Forget it, forget it. I feel sorry for you, so I'll just treat it as a good deed and give you some buns."
The man selling buns quickly packed four buns and said, "Take them and eat them quickly."
Beibei smiled and thanked him: "Thank you, uncle, you are such a good person, good people will be rewarded."
Then he tilted his head and looked at Nan Nan: "Brother, we have food, let's eat quickly."
While pulling Nan Nan away from here, he said to Nan Nan: "Brother, don't you want to eat? I got this with great difficulty. Besides, we haven't figured out how much a penny is."
"Now that I have money but cannot spend it, this is the only thing I can do."
Nannan thought for a moment and looked at Beibei: "Beibei, is your brother really useless? I still need you to beg for food when I come out."
Beibei looked at Nannan strangely: "Why did you say that, brother? Brother is very capable. He led the way for me and accompanied me when I ran away from home. But mother found out."
"Brother, you will definitely be beaten badly. You clearly knew it, but you were still willing to play with me. Brother, you are very brave."
The corner of Nan Nan's mouth twitched. So you know that you are cheating your brother, but you still use your brother's name as a brave man. Are you satisfied with cheating him
Why do I feel regretful? Looking at Beibei, she squinted her eyes and smiled, with a small dimple on her face and two small canine teeth showing.
How could it be so cute? I couldn't help but touch Beibei's head: "Beibei, don't smile in front of outsiders in the future. It's dangerous."
Although Beibei didn't understand why laughing was dangerous, he knew what his brother said was right, so he nodded obediently: "I understand, brother, eat quickly."
"After we finish eating, let's hurry up and leave the city."
Nan Nan took the bun and ate it in big mouthfuls, and then the two of them asked passers-by while heading towards the city gate. At this time, they came to the inn.
After the Queen Mother got up, the first thing she did was to ask the two children: "Are the two children awake? Ask them to come and have breakfast together."
When the nanny beside the Queen Mother heard this, her face turned pale and she knelt down directly: "Madam, the two children ran away from home last night. Master Gu has already gone out to look for them."
Hearing this, the Queen Mother stood up and said, "What? Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing? It's so dangerous for the two children outside."
"No, you must go and get the prefect and the others to me right now. The little prince and the little princess cannot have any mishaps. Go quickly."
The Queen Mother was in no mood to even have breakfast now. She was just filled with worry. Soon the prefect came and knelt down before the Queen Mother.
"Your humble servant has greeted the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
The Queen Mother didn't want to say anything to him at this time, and she just shouted, "No need to be polite, get up first, do you know why I want to see you?"
"The descendants of King Bing Jian, the young prince and the young princess, have both disappeared in the inn. You must find them back."
It's not a good idea to say "running away from home", so let's just say they're missing! As expected, when Magistrate Li heard that the two children were missing, he felt his heart skip a beat.
Such a big thing, it's incredible! Looking at the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, don't worry, I will make arrangements right away and make sure to find the person back."
"I will take my leave first."
The empress dowager waved her hand and sent someone away. Seeing how anxious Li Zhifu was, he would probably do his best to look for him. The empress dowager looked anxiously at the nanny beside her.
"Where do you think Mr. Gu and his group are looking for them now? Let's go out and look for them too."
The nanny looked at the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, this is not right. We don't know where Master Gu has found him. Let's wait for news at the inn."
"They can't all go out. What if the two young masters come back on their own? There can't be no one to take over."
The Queen Mother thought that was the case and looked at the nanny: "Then we should wait at the inn?"
The nanny nodded, but she didn't know that the two children had already arrived at the city gate. After leaving the gate of Suzhou City, the two children looked back.
Beibei finally spoke: "Brother, we are out, but it's already noon, shall we find a place to eat?"
Speaking of eating, Beibei touched his stomach and felt a little hungry. But he had money on him but couldn't spend it. After a whole morning, they only met people who used copper coins.
Now they also know that in this world, in addition to silver notes, gold and silver, there is also something called copper coins. And most people outside use copper coins.
It just so happens that they are the kind of people who don’t have a penny! The two looked at each other, and finally Nan Nan scratched his head and said, “Why don’t I go up the mountain to catch a chicken for you?”
"Every time I serve as a guard, it's easy to catch chickens and rabbits."
Beibei nodded: "This is a good idea, let's do it. Let's go to the mountain. Look, there is a mountain there."
The two children did what they said, and actually wanted to go to the mountain to catch chickens. Qingyue looked at the two people going up the mountain with some worry: "Master, will the young master and the others be in trouble?"
Two secret guards followed behind the two men, while Gu Xiong and his companions were in a carriage, watching over the two children to avoid being exposed. Gu Xiong shook his head.
"With two secret guards following us, nothing should go wrong."
Qinglian glanced at Gu Xiong and asked, "Should we inform the princess about this?"
Gu Xiong thought for a moment before speaking: "Let's wait until we meet the princess to tell her. Now let's see if these two children can find food."
Nannanbeibei finally climbed up the mountain, but sighed: "Brother, there seem to be no small animals here. No chickens?"
The two secret guards who followed felt distressed when they heard Bei Bei's voice. They looked at each other and wanted to help, but they did not dare to disobey Gu Xiong's orders.
Fortunately, at this time, a rabbit ran out, and Beibei immediately became happy: "Brother, look at the rabbit, chase it quickly."
