Quick Wear: She is the White Moonlight

Although Yue Hua had changed the script, Yue Bai still asked worriedly, "Mother, I'll go see my brother now."

"Don't worry!" Madam Xiang stopped her and glanced at Chu Ji. "Your Highness, I will send you back home today. Your father has set up a welcoming banquet for you. Hua'er will also attend. There is no rush."

Yuebai did go down the mountain early this morning, and was bumpy on the road for a full hour. He thought about washing up well and then going to see Yuehua.

Chu Ji saw Yue Bai's intention and said sympathetically, "Madam is right. You just came back today, so you should wash up first and change your Taoist robe. It looks awkward to me. Besides, I have some things to do today and need to go back to the palace. I will come to see you on Girls' Day."

Yuebai stared at him and said unconvincedly: "What's wrong with the Taoist robe? I'm just used to wearing it."

After saying this angrily, Yue Bai walked directly through the gate of the Prime Minister's Residence, took two quick steps inside, turned back and shouted at Chu Ji: "Go back to the palace!"

Madam Xiang shook her head helplessly and bowed to Chu Ji apologetically: "Your Highness, please forgive me. This girl has probably forgotten the rules after staying in the countryside for too long."

Chu Ji didn't care about helping Madam Xiang up. He said it was no big deal and left.

Chu Ji actually didn't have anything to do, but Yuebai just mentioned that his senior brother went to the charity hall, and if the work at the charity hall was done, he would come to pick up Yuebai to go back together. He had to quickly send someone to the charity hall to find something for that senior brother to do, and it would take at least five days.

After getting on the carriage, Chu Ji gently tapped the small wooden table with his hand. On the table there were still some snacks that Yue Bai had not finished eating. He was thinking about how to let that senior brother stay in the charity hall for a few more days, but he had no idea for the moment.

It was a bit stuffy in the carriage, so Chu Ji lifted the curtain to get some fresh air. He happened to see a beggar on the side of the road, and immediately an idea came to his mind.

"parking!"

Xiao Fuzi was puzzled, but he quickly pulled the reins. The carriage shook forward due to inertia. He was about to kneel down and apologize, but he saw that his master had already jumped off the carriage and walked towards the little beggar next to him.

Xiao Fuzi hurried to catch up. The beggar was so dirty that his prince couldn't let him touch him.

Chu Ji walked up to the little beggar, bent down and asked, "Do you know where the charity hall of Baiyun Temple in the capital is built?"

The little beggar glanced at Chu Ji and ignored him. He put the straw hat on his head and closed his eyes again.

Chu Ji thought he didn't hear clearly, so he repeated it again.

The dirty little beggar coughed twice impatiently and knocked on the bowl in front of him with the chopsticks in his hand.

Chu Ji glanced at Xiao Fuzi, and the man with a small mustache immediately took out his pocket and threw some copper coins into the bowl.

The little beggar heard the sound of copper coins falling into the bowl, took off his hat, and saw that there were indeed some copper coins in the bowl. He finally smiled and replied happily, "It's over on East Street."

"Little brother, I will give you some more rewards. Can you take all your brothers in this area and squat in front of the charity hall every day? You don't need to cause trouble, just go to the charity hall every day to ask for food and daily necessities. As long as you persist for five days."

The little beggar was a little surprised. The rich man's request was really strange, but he still nodded and agreed, and gave a price on the spot: "One or two taels of silver per person." After doing this job, they would have enough food to eat for most of half a year.

"Okay, you must bring at least fifty people to me. Of course, if there are more, the better. I have enough money."

"Okay, sir! Please wait for me for half an hour, and I will ask the brothers who can take the job to come here immediately." After the little beggar said this, he ran out immediately.

Xiao Fuzi looked at his own prince's actions in silence. It was hard to evaluate a prince who spent money to hire beggars to beg for food at a charity hall...

Sure enough, half an hour later, the little beggar came to call Chu Ji and motioned Chu Ji to follow him.

Xiao Fuzi stood guard in front of Chu Ji vigilantly and tried to stop him: "Sir, let's let them come over. What if..." His Highness is the only prince and cannot take any risks.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Chu Ji took a step forward and followed.

When they arrived at the place, Chu Ji was very surprised. In the medium-sized courtyard, there were more than 170 people. These people were ragged and skinny. Chu Ji felt a little bit sorry and quickly handed all the money in his pocket to the little beggar.

"There should be more of these. Help me do this job well, and these will all be yours."

Xiao Fuzi, who was standing by, was about to stop Chu Ji when he saw him doing this, but the little beggar had already taken the purse and opened it to take a look. However, to their surprise, the little beggar only took out a silver note worth one hundred taels and some change from it, and returned the purse.

"Although we are poor and are stinking beggars that you look down upon, we are still doing business, and we have to pay what we agree on."

Chu Ji now really admired this little beggar and asked, "Do you have a name?"

"I will not change my name or surname. I am Goudan, the fifth generation disciple of the Beijing Beggars' Sect!"

"This name doesn't suit you. I see that you are chivalrous and loyal. You deserve the word Cheng. How about I change your name to Ah Cheng? If you are willing, you can come to my house to work in the future."

"Acheng? This name does sound more impressive than Goudan, but Goudan was given to me by my mother, so I'll just call myself Goudan."

Xiao Fuzi was about to scold him, saying that he was ungrateful and that being given a name by His Highness was a privilege only given to close relatives.

"Okay! If you don't want to, then don't change it. If you want to come to my house to work one day, you can go find this person next to me." Chu Ji pointed at Xiao Fuzi beside him, "He will tell you his address later."

Because eunuchs were allowed to have private residences outside the palace, Xiao Fuzi, as his chief steward, of course also had one, and there was also a housekeeper outside the palace. Even if Xiao Fuzi was in the palace, Xiao Fuzi instructed his housekeeper to temporarily make arrangements for Goudan.

"I understand." Goudan responded, but it was unclear whether he heard it or not.

Wang Chen happened to arrive at the charity hall at this time. He checked this year's income and expenditure, and looked at the displaced people who were supporting themselves in the charity hall. Some grew vegetables, some worked, each doing their own job. There was also a blind scholar who was reading books to the children.

When everyone saw Wang Cheng coming, they all greeted him.

"The Taoist priest is here."

"Master, please try some fruits that have just been picked from the garden."

"Master, these are the vegetables we grow ourselves. If you take them out and sell them every morning, it can bring in more income for the charity."

Wang Chen responded one by one with a smile on his face.

"Yes, grandma, I'm here. I want to see if you need anything recently."

"Thank you very much."

"Yes, these look good. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince donated some money for us today. We can buy some more land to plant, and we can dig a well in the backyard so that everyone doesn't have to go out to fetch water anymore."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is truly kind-hearted!" Everyone praised him again.
