Seeing Linger coming back in a hurry, Xiu'er walked up and asked, "Ling'er, I seemed to have heard you calling just now."

Ling'er blushed: "Sister Xiu'er, you just screamed."

Xiu'er chuckled: "No one asked me to scream."

"Sister Xiu'er, when I was taking out the trash just now, I suddenly saw a beggar huddled in the corner..."

Upon hearing this, Xiu'er immediately covered Ling'er's mouth and lowered her voice: "Keep your voice down, don't let the young lady hear it, otherwise you may be invited into the house to serve as an uncle." What's more worrying is that the young lady might see these beggars and think of Li Li.

Adults also suffer from this.

Ling'er nodded, expressing her understanding that the young lady was the friendliest to these beggars and homeless people, even better than strangers.

Ling'er didn't know the inside story, she just thought the lady was compassionate and kind-hearted, and couldn't bear to see the misery in the world.

Gu Xianting was staring blankly at the bright moon, her skirt lowered and silent, but she caught a glimpse of the two of them whispering and didn't know what they were talking about, so she asked aloud: "What are you two secretly discussing?"

Xiuer laughed, "What didn't we discuss?"

Gu Xianting just thought that the two women were concerned about her condition and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you two. I'm in a good mood today."

The sound is as pleasant as a silver bell, making people feel her pleasure.

Sister He Qing comforted her a lot today. While she was cheerful, she also strengthened her determination. If she could not meet an adult in this life, she would be alone in this life and would meet an adult again in the next life. This was what the Moon God had promised her just now.

Ling'er secretly hid the food and walked out of the side door. Her clothes were too conspicuous, so she didn't bring them with her because she was afraid that the lady would find out.

She said in a cat's voice like she was having an affair: "Beggars, beggars..."

"Madam, I'm here."

Ling'er heard the voice coming from behind, turned her head and saw that her long hair was hanging down, like the seductive long-haired ghost. She was startled again. She was about to yell, but she quickly covered her mouth.

He took out the food from his pocket and handed it to Xie Fu.

When Mr. Xie saw it, he thought to himself, hiding it like this, and saying that your young lady is kind-hearted, I am afraid that you yourself are kind-hearted.

Xie Fu took it and took a bite, and said with a special smile: "This cake shows the kindness and warmth of the lady's heart, very considerate."

When these words fell into Ling'er's ears, she heard another teasing meaning, "Damn it, I said you stinky beggars, but I am teasing this girl by giving you food."

Xie Fu was obviously hungry. After taking a few bites, his expression froze and he turned from devouring to slowly chewing and savoring, "This cake is too delicious."

Ling'er proudly said: "Of course, this is the vegetarian steamed Wufu cake made by the lady herself. You, a stinky beggar, are in for a treat."

To be honest, these beggars and homeless people are better off than the ladies in the house.

The food that Ling'er brought was finished by Xie Fu within a few seconds. In Ling'er's eyes, she felt that this beggar had not eaten for several days.

Xie Fu asked: "Madam, is there anything else? I'm still a little hungry, haha..."

Ling'er glared at the long-haired ghost angrily: "Wait."

After a while, I got some more food. I wanted to get some more so that the beggar could support me for a day or two. I was mainly afraid that the lady would find out and I couldn't hide too much on my body.

Seeing that the long-haired ghost had taken the food and was still lingering in the corner, he drove him away and said: "Don't eat here, leave quickly, go to where it's cooler."

Xie Fu stood up and didn't mind. He knew that wealthy families were most taboo about beggars lingering at the door.

He left with a smile and sang a song: "The sun rises red in the east. The most difficult thing is to be a human being. It is also difficult to love to be a good person. If you love to be a robber, you will go to jail. When the moon rises, it hangs in the sky. Where is the coolness and where is the place to sit? Where is the food?

Let’s hug each other..."

The singing was loud and clear, and when Ling'er listened to it, oh, can't you tell she's quite talented? Is this a begging ballad?

I was suddenly startled, and I was really afraid of you yelling, but you actually started yelling.

Gu Xianting, who was in the yard, heard the song floating down from the end of the moon, and said, "Xiu'er, did you hear it?"

Xiu'er, who was fetching water and preparing to boil it, heard this and pricked up her ears. After a moment, she said, "No, what's the sound?"

Gu Xianting murmured: "It seems that someone is singing, good people... robbers... adults are singing to me..."

Xiu'er looked helpless, and the young lady went crazy again. She didn't hear anything at all.

Ling'er walked into the yard at this time, and Gu Xianting immediately asked: "Ling'er, is someone singing a ballad?"

Ling'er felt guilty and immediately let out a cry.

Upon seeing this, Gu Xianting immediately stepped forward and held Ling'er's shoulders, "Are you there?"

Ling'er said weakly: "Miss, when I went out to take out the garbage just now, I saw a beggar lying in the corner, so I secretly gave him some food."

Gu Xianting exclaimed: "It's my lord!" He ran out like crazy.

Xiu'er and Ling'er were shocked when they saw it. Why didn't they tell the lady? They were afraid that something like this would happen.

When he reacted, he saw that the young lady had already run out of the yard, and he quickly chased her out.

When the two of them walked out of the side door, they were already pulled down a long distance by the young lady. The young lady who usually walked lightly and gracefully was running like a deer at this moment.

No! It should be like a fierce horse.

"Miss...Miss..."

When I found the young lady at a street corner, one of her shoes had slipped off and she seemed to have sprained her foot. She was curled up on the ground and sobbing.

Xiu'er felt distressed and helpless. She knelt down and said softly: "Miss."

"Xiu'er, you are really an adult. I can feel that it is him. He is so close to me, and I let him go again..."

When Xiu'er heard this, she secretly thought that it was nothing more than becoming possessed.

Gu Xianting wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said in a deep voice: "Xiu'er, my ankle is sprained. Help me up and let's look for it slowly."

When Xiu'er heard this, she panicked and had to search all night again! She had an idea and asked Ling'er: "Is that the beggar who sang just now?"

Ling'er responded: "Yes!"

Gu Xianting immediately listened carefully.

Xiu'er asked: "What do they look like?" In her opinion, beggars are all old and ugly. As long as Ling'er can tell her appearance, the lady will be able to understand the matter.

Ling'er responded weakly: "My hair is disheveled, I didn't see clearly."

Xiu'er asked again: "How old are you?"

Ling'er knew that Sister Xiu'er must have a deep meaning, and followed Sister Xiu'er's thoughts and responded: "The voice sounds like she is in her early twenties, about that high. Although she is dressed in rags, she is polite and quite talented.

, talk with a bit of fun...and walk quite coolly."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but smile: "I have never seen such a beggar in my life. He doesn't look like a beggar at all."

The more Xiu'er listened, the more her scalp became numb. She felt like she was shooting herself in the foot. It could only be said that it was a coincidence, so she looked at the young lady cautiously.

Gu Xianting, who was curled up on the ground, suddenly stood up. Pain hit his feet. He frowned and said solemnly: "Look for it!"

Xiuer screamed in her heart, it was bad! She had to look for it all night again.

If it is really Mr. Li, she is willing to accompany the young lady for three days and three nights. The key question is, is this possible?

…

A man with dignified clothes and an elegant appearance stood at the side door of Lu Mansion.

As the night progressed, the side door of Lu Mansion closed, and the man sighed and turned around to leave.

This man is Xie Fu's cousin Xie Li.

Since becoming Mr. Zhongming's student, he enrolled in Yunhe Academy. Xie Li studied hard day and night, and finally lived up to his grandfather's high expectations and became a high school Jinshi.

Now he is also a man of great fame and can make great achievements in the officialdom and revitalize the Xie family.

It's just that the wish is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

Xie Li was in Chang'an, and took Mr. Zhongming's letter of recommendation to visit various important officials. Either he couldn't see him, or he said perfunctorily that there were no vacancies for the time being, and asked Xie Li to wait patiently.

Xie Li knew that it was just because he disliked his low background and people looked down upon him.

Three months later, there is still no news about joining the company.

Mr. Zhong Ming told him that Chang'an was a place where elites gathered and dragons and phoenixes roamed around. Although he was a Jinshi in high school, there were too many people like him in Chang'an, so he told him not to be too hasty.

At the same time, he suggested that Jiangnan is a rich and prosperous place, so why not give it a try first.

So Xie Li followed Mr. Zhongming's suggestion and returned to Yangzhou with Mr. Zhongming's letter of recommendation.

In Chang'an, these officials recognized Mr. Zhongming's reputation and treated him politely.

In Yangzhou, people simply ignored him.

Xie Li failed repeatedly, but he was discouraged but not cold-hearted. Hearing that Suzhou Governor Lu Taolu valued talents, he came to Suzhou to try his luck.

This was already the third time he came to Lu Mansion, and each time he stayed from morning until late at night.

When the servants of the Lu family heard that he had come to see him with Mr. Zhongming's letter of recommendation, they went to report him respectfully and politely.

But every time he replied, Mr. Lu was busy with official duties and asked him to wait patiently.

Xie Li didn't know if it was because he didn't want to refuse it openly, so he retreated in spite of the difficulties.

Of course, he can also understand that for people with Mr. Lu's status, there are too many people who come to Mr. Lu every day to ask for an official position.

It is impossible for Mr. Lu to abandon his official duties and meet everyone.
