Meng Li looked at Xin De and said:
"You also sit down and drink a bowl."
Hinde refused:
"My status as a slave is too low to be shared with the adults."
Meng Li said:
"It doesn't matter, come out today, you and I are no masters and servants."
Cinder hesitated for a moment and sat down.
The mutton soup came quickly. The mutton was thinly sliced, with some greens sprinkled on top, and there were radishes in it. Meng Li was a little happy to see it.
Lifting the veil and taking a bite, Meng Li felt it was very fresh.
Her body also warmed up, and when Xinde saw Meng Li moving, she also started eating.
Meng Li and Xin De were eating when a boy of seven or eight years old came in. His clothes were ragged and his whole body was red from the cold. His dark eyes stared at Meng Li and the two.
A bit timid.
Xin De turned to one side to prevent the child from seeing Meng Li's appearance.
The red mole between Meng Li's eyebrows is so iconic.
The child rubbed his hands and looked around. Before he could speak, the store owner walked in:
"If you want some soup, I'll give you a bowl. Don't go into the store and disturb the guest officer."
After saying that, he smiled apologetically at Meng Li.
road:
"This child often comes to ask for food. Once given, he can never be driven away again. There is nothing you can do to him."
Even though the store owner said this, he didn't look disgusted at all.
"But after eating it, the little clever guy will help me wash the dishes and clean the table."
The boss added with a smile.
Meng Li put down the gauze and said calmly:
"It doesn't matter."
The child hesitated for a moment, then knelt on the ground and said to the boss:
"Can I buy myself for you?"
The boss hesitated and finally shook his head. He couldn't afford to raise a child.
The child's eyes dimmed a bit. When he saw Meng Li, he knelt and turned towards them:
"My lord, you must be a wealthy family, can you buy me?"
Meng Li looked at the child and said to the child:
"Why would you want to buy yourself?"
The child's voice was a little sad, and he said:
"My mother is dead and I want to bury her."
Meng Li used his mental energy to check the child's bones and found that they were OK.
If you take him back to practice martial arts, you can also put him in the imperial master's house as a guard in the future.
And this kid is smart at first glance.
Meng Li nodded:
"Thinking of buying yourself one?"
"I am not from here. I will take you to a far away place. You will never see the people here again."
The child nodded firmly and said:
"I'm not from here either. My mother and I depend on each other here. If my mother dies, I can go anywhere."
Meng Li nodded.
Let the child tell the price by himself. The child cannot tell the price himself. He does not know how much he is worth, and he may not have any concept of money.
Meng Li asked Xinde to give the child the price he paid for the slave from Yapo, and let the child go back and bury his mother by himself.
Let the child wait for her here in three days.
After the child got the money, he kowtowed to Meng Li several times. His eyes finally turned red. He choked and said some words of thanks, and ran away without even drinking the soup the boss brought him.
The boss sighed and said to Meng Li:
"Girl, just give him the money like this. If he doesn't come when the time comes, where should the girl find it?"
Meng Li smiled:
"It's okay. If you can do it by yourself, you are an honest child."
"If I can't do it myself, I can find him too."
The boss said nothing, and Meng Li asked Xin De to pay the bill. The two of them walked around the city again, and Meng Li bought some medicinal materials.
I don’t know if Gu Yi’s health is okay
Thinking of the Demon King again, is the Demon King still in this world
If he ran away, he wouldn't be able to find him.
Let Xin De investigate the details of this child.
There should be no people of unknown origin in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.
Three days later, Meng Li and Xin De came to the store again. While watching, the child was at the door of the store.
At this moment, he was giving his boss a few copper coins, but the boss kept refusing.
He said:
"This is the soup I had at your place before. I feel bad if you don't accept it."
The boss was speechless and stirred the soup in the pot:
"Go, go, no."
Meng Li walked over and said calmly:
"Since he gave it, let's accept it."
It seems that this child still has a strong self-esteem.
The boss hesitated for a moment, looked at the child again, and sighed:
"Can't you hold it yourself?"
"I don't want to be freeloaders." The child's voice was loud and sharp.
The boss sighed again and accepted it.
The poor child will become a servant of a wealthy family in the future.
If it were better to be reincarnated, there would be no need to do this. Selling mutton soup like him could not earn much money, but he could still afford to support his wife and children.
No need to sell yourself into slavery.
The child looked at Meng Li and said to Meng Li:
"Benefactor, no, master, you are here."
Meng Li nodded and said to the boss:
"Three bowls, please."
The boss smiled: "Okay."
Meng Li and the three of them ate and took the person back. When they arrived at the residence, the child looked at the high-walled red door with soldiers guarding the door. He suddenly became timid.
Although they looked like they belonged to a wealthy family, I never expected them to be such a wealthy family.
This kind of big business was beyond his imagination.
He glanced at Meng Li timidly. Meng Li had other things to do, so he didn't spend much time with the child and asked Xin De to take him down to make arrangements.
After a while, Hinde came over again with the child.
The child was stunned when he saw Meng Li. This was the first time he saw Meng Li's true face.
The child remembered that this was the female general whom everyone had been talking about and she was also a national advisor. Everyone was very excited when she mentioned her. He was also very excited at the moment, but he suppressed this emotional expression.
He pretended to be calm and said:
"Little one, please give me your name, little one."
Meng Li looked at the child. He was now clean and wearing a small coat. He looked pretty good.
You should have seen it when you grow up.
She spoke:
"Don't you have a name?"
The child's lips moved and finally said:
"No."
Meng Li looked at Xin De, who walked slowly to Meng Li and whispered:
"Her mother came here pregnant, and her father is unknown. She has never given him a correct name."
Meng Li understood, looked at the child, and thought about it for a long time. The child was very nervous, waiting for Meng Li to give her a name.
Xin De was also a little curious about what Meng Li named him.
Meng Li spoke:
"Xiao Zhuo."
Hinde:…
Is this the name you came up with after thinking about it for a long time
But the child was very happy and said:
"Thank you, sir, for the name."
Meng Li nodded and asked Xin De to lead the people down.
When Xin De and Xiao Zhuo were about to walk to the door, Meng Li stopped them:
"Xiao Zhuo, do you have your own birth date?"
Xiao Zhuolian said that he had it, and Meng Li asked him to tell her the horoscope, and Xiao Zhuo left first.
Then asked Xinde to verify Xiaozhuo's birth date.
After coming back, he did some calculations for Xiao Zhuo. What surprised Meng Li was that Xiao Zhuo was destined to have no children and no home.
He should be considered a loner.
And it vaguely meets the conditions for being a national master. Although it is not as destined as the client's horoscope, it is still acceptable.
