After traveling through time, I thrived in ancient times

"Hello." Yu Tingwan looked at him, thought for a moment and asked, "Maodan, right? Where are you going?"

"In reply to your question, sir, I am going to beg on the main street."

This time?

I looked up and saw that the sun was almost at noon. Didn't everyone go out early in the morning?

Maodan saw what he was thinking and answered his questions.

"There will be another group of beggars on the street in the morning. I used to be chased away by them when I went there in the morning. I fought with them several times but lost. So now I wait until around noon to go to the street."

“Why fight for the morning time?”

"Because there are more nobles on the street in the morning, and they are in a better mood in the morning than in the evening, and they have more money in their pockets than at other times, so naturally they beg more."

Yu Tingwan was surprised. Has market research been done?

"They don't allow you to be on the street in the morning. Do you go there at noon now? That's a lot of money you'll lose."

Maodanzi shook his head back and forth, with a different look in his eyes. He didn't expect that such a noble person would be interested in their begging.

He looked at Yu Tingwan with bright eyes and spoke even more excitedly.

"Sir, of course I'm not that stupid. My grandfather needed me today, so I went late. In fact, I have already observed that they usually start from the east of the city, close to the imperial city, because the closer to the imperial city, the more wealthy nobles there are.

So I went the other way, starting from the city gate and occasionally begging along the small streets in the city, so I wouldn’t run into them.”

Then, as if he felt that this made him seem useless and that he would be laughed at by the important person, he hurriedly tried to make excuses for himself.

"But I won't just give up like that. From time to time, I will bump into them and fight with them. Sooner or later, I will be able to beat them.

Then, I can bring my friends from West Lane and start begging from the richest nobles in the early morning."

After saying that, Maodan looked at Yu Tingwan expectantly, as if he wanted to get Yu Tingwan's praise.

Yu Tingwan was also surprised. This kid looked young, but he could figure out this method on his own.

Avoid their sharp edge and wait for the right opportunity to act.

This kid has a bright future!

"how old are you?"

Mao Dan was a little disappointed that he didn't hear the nobleman's praise, but it was only for a moment. Seeing the young master asking a question, he quickly answered:

"My Lord, Maodan is ten years old this year."

Yu Tingwan nodded gently, bent down slightly and raised his hand.

Maodan shrank a little, but forced himself not to move. He just closed his eyes and his eyelashes trembled.

After pausing slightly, Yu Tingwan gently placed his hand on Maodan's head and rubbed it twice.

Then he withdrew his hand, straightened up, and chuckled in the stunned eyes of Maodan.

"Okay, get busy. Don't let me delay your important business!"

Even Qi Kun was a little surprised. This young master was so easy-going? And...

Qi Kun looked at Maodan's head. It was greasy and dirty. How could he have the heart to do that?

Yu Tingwan glanced at them, turned around and continued walking forward, leaving the two of them staring at each other.

Qi Kun quickly came back to his senses, waved at Maodan, signaling him to go quickly, and turned around to follow Yu Tingwan.

Really! What on earth does this Mr. Jiang want to do? He has seduced the king of children in his street!

Maodan looked at the figure walking away and stood there in a daze for a long time. Only after his little friend called him twice did he come back to his senses.

Looking at the figure in the distance, Maodan turned around and ran away quickly, not even caring about his companions around him.

As he ran, the smile on his face became more and more uncontrollable. Finally, his face was completely filled with smiles and he jumped up while running quickly. People could feel his happiness from his cheerful back.

Looking at his look, Qi Kun shook his head. It seemed that whether he would agree with what this young master wanted to do was another matter, but the child was probably not going to come back!

Then he hurriedly told Shangyu Tingwan that he had to be careful and not let anyone be seduced away by him.

I really don't understand what this person is trying to do. It's not like I haven't seen people pretending to be nice to them before. Isn't Prince Hong one of them?

But none of the kids liked him, and he eventually exposed his true feelings!

But how did this person capture Mao Danzi's heart as soon as he arrived? You know, Mao Danzi is the most vigilant child among them!

"Master Jiang, may I ask what exactly you want to do here?"

Qi Kun became more and more flustered the more he thought about it. He decided to just ask directly and stop beating around the bush. This young man was more patient than him!

Yu Tingwan turned around and looked at Qi Kun. Seeing the anxiety in his eyes, she understood that he might not be able to hold it back any longer.

"Mr. Qi, don't be anxious. Can I have a word with you for a moment?"

Qi Kun thought to himself: It is indeed so!

"Mr. Jiang, please come this way."

Afterwards, Qi Kun brought Yu Tingwan to a somewhat dilapidated courtyard.

It looked fairly tidy inside, but things were a little worn out.

Qi Kun invited Yu Tingwan to take a seat.

"My humble abode is simple, I am sorry to have embarrassed you, Mr. Jiang."

Yu Tingwan sat down generously without showing any disgust.

"How could that be? Whether it's a big house or a thatched cottage, it's just a place to live."

These words made Qi Kun's heart move slightly. His hand that was pouring tea paused. Then he glanced at Yu Tingwan. Seeing that there was indeed no disgust in her expression, his frown relaxed slightly.

"Sir, I don't want to beat around the bush. May I ask what exactly you want to do here?"

Yu Tingwan was still not in a hurry, but just said something unrelated.

"Mr. Qi, how do you think everyone in West Lane is doing?"

No matter how you live, it’s naturally not that great!

"Master Jiang, you have seen West Lane today, so you know that this kind of life, no, this is just barely surviving!"

Qi Kun smiled bitterly, but in fact, everything we see now is the result of their hard work.

I'm afraid no one would believe that there is such a place in this prosperous capital city. It's like a refugee slum.

But the current emperor seemed to be blind to it and just let them rot and die under the imperial city.

"I guess Mr. Qi has also thought of various ways to change all this, but why hasn't he seen much success?"

Qi Kun shook his head helplessly, "Why bother asking like that? I'm sure you know the reason, otherwise you wouldn't have come here."

What they are concerned about is that no one has settled them down and they can only survive here. If they want to live a better life, they must surrender and become the knife in their hands and the eyes in their hands!

"Indeed, if you were not able to help me, I would not have come here."

He was surprised by Yu Tingwan's frankness. Even King Hong at that time had concealed his true purpose.

But why did he just say it out loud?

Yu Tingwan was naturally aware of Qi Kun's surprise, but there were some things that she had to deal with them no matter how annoyed she was, and for some things, it was much more useful to be direct than to beat around the bush.
