If this sword were to hit King Liang, he would become two Kings Liang.
Zi'an was so frightened that his legs went weak, but it was too late to stop it.
Everyone thought that King Liang could not escape, but unexpectedly, he suddenly jumped up, then with a few quick leaps, he jumped onto the big banyan tree that was falling down, and then jumped from the banyan tree onto the roof.
However, the sharpness of the blade still tore his clothes, revealing his white chest skin.
Zi'an was stunned. Was this really the useless King Liang that others talked about? A man who couldn't even walk properly actually jumped up there.
Prince Liang roared from the rooftop, "Xia Zian, take this idiot away before the large group of guards arrive."
Boss Dao still looked innocent, as if he didn't know what he had done wrong, and stared at Zi'an in a daze.
Zi'an sighed and pulled him away, "Let's go, idiot. It will be too late if we don't leave now."
Dao Lao Da was so frightened that his face turned pale. He ran a few steps, then suddenly remembered the breakfast on the coffee table and ran back quickly, "My meat buns."
"Xiao Sun, help him get it!" Zi'an shouted, "If you don't leave now, you won't have anything to eat."
Boss Dao felt that having no food to eat was a very serious matter. These buns could not be eaten for a lifetime. After weighing the pros and cons, he gritted his teeth and escaped with Zi'an.
After waiting in the carriage for a while, Xiaosun came out with a big bag of breakfast. She climbed onto the carriage and threw it to Dao Lao Da, panting and saying, "Don't be so reckless in the future. If anything happens to the prince, our eldest daughter will be in trouble too."
Boss Dao was stunned. "Why? Could he turn into a ghost and come back to find Miss? I have no way to kill a ghost."
Zi'an felt it necessary to talk to Boss Dao about the principles of life.
"Your name is A Da, right?" Zi'an really couldn't call him Boss.
"Boss Dao!" he corrected, holding the breakfast tightly in his hands, fearing that Xiaosun would snatch it away.
"I will call you Ada from now on."
"But I'm called Dao Lao Da."
"Ada, otherwise there will be no meat to eat." Zi'an said gritting his teeth.
“…” He compromised, “My name is Ada.”
Zi'an stretched out his hand, "Give me the knife."
Boss Dao hesitated for a moment, then handed the knife to Zi'an, "My mother gave it to me, Miss, please don't sell it."
"I didn't sell you out." Zi'an slapped his forehead. "Remember, you can't do anything when I tell you not to. If I'm really being bullied, you can do it, but you can't chop people with a knife. Also, you have to remember who is my enemy and who is my friend. I thought I would tell you slowly, but I will tell you in a moment. Also, King Liang is my friend, you can't do anything to him in the future, even if he yells at me."
Boss Dao opened his signature big eyes and asked, "Is there still food to eat even if I don't do anything?"
"Yes, three meals a day."
Boss Dao shuddered and seemed particularly excited. He had never experienced in his life that he could eat without helping others fight.
He nodded, "Yes, yes, I'll do whatever the young lady says."
Xiaosun glanced at him and said, "Why is your accent so strange? Sometimes it sounds like you're from Shu, and sometimes it sounds like you're from somewhere else."
"I'm from Shu, and later went to the north, so I have a bit of accent from both sides." This sentence is spoken in Beijing dialect, but it sounds very awkward.
Xiaosun said, "You have to learn the Beijing dialect, otherwise other people in the mansion will laugh at you."
"I am not afraid of being laughed at. I am not afraid of being laughed at if I have food to eat."
Xiaosun looked at him and said, "Eat these for breakfast. The weather is so hot. If you keep covering them up, they will go bad in a while. These are desserts, so they go bad easily."
"No, no, I'll save it for my sister." Boss Dao shook his head, looked at the thing in his arms, and swallowed his saliva.
"You have a younger sister?" Zi'an asked.
"Yes, I'm begging in the dilapidated temple in the east of the city," Dao Lao Da kept speaking in Beijing dialect with great difficulty, "My sister is waiting for me with an empty stomach, I need my sister to take me over."
"She can't eat that much, anyway." Xiaosun said.
"You can eat it, you can eat it," Dao Lao Da thought Xiaosun was going to grab some food, so he quickly hugged him, "You can finish it in three days."
"It stinks for three days."
“It’s edible even if it stinks.”
Zi'an felt a little touched. Looking at this rude young man, whose clothes were ragged and who didn't even have a pair of shoes, and hearing his stomach growling, he was reluctant to eat a bite.
"You eat first. We will go pick up your sister and take her out for a good meal." Zi'an had originally planned to go to the Regent's Mansion after treating King Liang today, but now that the Regent was not there, it was not convenient for her to go.
I just don't know where he went when he suddenly left Beijing? He didn't tell me beforehand.
"Really?" Dao Lao Da was very happy to hear Zi An's words, but then he said, "I saw her eating. Many people said they would give me delicious food, but I didn't give it to them. They just tricked me into helping them beat people up and flatter them."
"Is flattery deceiving you?" Xiao Sun was confused after hearing this.
Zi'an knew he was talking about Ma Le Gobi, a curse word, and said to Xiaosun, "It's possible that he can't get used to it for the time being. You can teach him later. If he can't teach, forget it. We can understand it as long as we understand it."
Xiaosun didn't like Boss Dao's vulgarity and gave him a sullen look. "Since you are following the young lady, you must follow the rules and don't cause trouble for her."
Boss Dao was very obedient, "I know."
The carriage went to the dilapidated temple in the east of the city that Boss Dao mentioned. A girl with thick eyebrows and big eyes like Boss Dao ran out from the temple. She was about thirteen or fourteen years old. Her face was covered in black dust, her clothes were old and tattered, and she was wearing a pair of straw sandals, but they were too big and made a snapping sound when she ran.
"Brother, you're back?" The little girl shouted happily when she saw Boss Dao, but she looked at Zi'an and Xiaosun with great vigilance.
Boss Dao grabbed her collar and came out, "Call them Miss Big and Miss Little."
He didn't know that Xiaosun was also a maid. Seeing that Xiaosun was dressed neatly, he thought she was also a lady.
"I'm not the young lady, I'm the eldest lady's maid." Xiao Sun quickly explained.
The little girl stepped forward and said politely, "Young lady, young lady's maid."
Seeing that she was young but not shy at all, Zi'an couldn't help but like her. "What's your name?"
"My name is Dao Xiaoer." said the little girl.
One is Knife Boss and the other is Knife Waiter. It is really convenient for this Knife Dad to come up with names.
However, Zi'an did not understand the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, not many people could afford to read books, and two-thirds of the population were illiterate. These illiterate people were real illiterates who could not recognize a single word.
Generally speaking, you can ask a fortune teller to name your children, but you have to give a red envelope to ask the fortune teller to name your children. Poor families can't afford that, so they name their children according to numbers. Some families have many children, more than ten, or the previous generation has already used the number of characters to represent the names, so they have to add the surname in front and rearrange them, becoming names like Zhang Chongyi, Li Chonger... Zhu Chongba, etc.
However, generally speaking, for those who entered a wealthy family's mansion to work as maids or servants, the master would help them to come up with a name, which is called a given name.
Of course, there are also many names that do not use numbers, but use household objects to name the children. However, the names must be simple, because, although this name is called by others, you must also be able to write it. If it is too complicated, you will not be able to learn it. A simple name is better.
