Harem Daily Life

In fact, He Linzhang had been hiding behind the guards and watching all this. He had indeed prepared a backup plan early on. He originally thought that Shu Fei could handle everything, but he did not expect that the one who finally stood up and exposed the other party's trick was the delicate little talent.

Watching her stand up fearlessly, rescue Zhao Cairen without hesitation, and unravel the case cleverly and resourcefully, He Linzhang felt that her whole body was glowing faintly in the night.

But before he could admire it enough, the young talent actually admitted in front of everyone that "my master is very handsome and romantic", and he couldn't help but blush.

The young talent is still as outspoken as ever, saying whatever he wants!

Qi Yizheng and so many guards are here, it's so embarrassing!

He Linzhang was still digesting his embarrassment when Tao Yanyan had already started to deal with them: "Come here, these people are cheating and defrauding people of money, trying to blackmail my master in order to achieve their ulterior motives. Send them to the government immediately and let the local officials deal with them according to the law."

He looked down at the little beggar and said, "Oh, right. That middle-aged man made outrageous remarks and called for killing innocent people. Let the government investigate and punish him for multiple crimes with the most severe punishment."

The family of four swindlers was taken away by the guards. Even if Concubine Tao did not say how to deal with them, the emperor had already made arrangements, so they could not think of doing anything evil.

The onlookers gradually dispersed, but a few beggars did not leave. They were all waiting for the little beggar led by Tao Yanyan.

Tao Yanyan looked at the little beggar, then looked at the people not far away, and asked gently, "Where are your parents?"

The little beggar's eyes darkened and he shook his head: "No, I was picked up by them on the roadside, I don't know my parents."

Tao Yanyan felt a little sad. Thinking of the children who were abducted by human traffickers in his previous life, he couldn't bear to let them live on the streets again.

"Are they nice to you?" Tao Yanyan pointed at the beggars who were waiting.

The little beggar thought for a moment and said: "You saved me, you are a good person. But if I don't have enough to eat, I will be beaten if I can't get food."

When Tao Yanyan heard this, his heart sank and he felt inexplicably sad.

She said to Qi Yizheng, "Go over and ask them where they found the child." Then she changed her mind and said, "Forget it, call them over and I'll ask them myself."

Qi Yizheng didn't say much and went over to call for help.

Several beggars walked cautiously in front of Tao Yanyan and knelt directly on the ground.

Tao Yanyan said, "Stand up and answer the question. You don't have to kneel down. Let me ask you, how did this child become a beggar?"

One of the older ones said, "We picked him up on the roadside in the suburbs of Beijing. Four years ago, we were begging in Beijing, but it was too hard to survive there. We were often driven away, so we had no choice but to leave. Unexpectedly, we saw a child abandoned on the roadside. The child was dying, so we felt compassion and took him away. We begged along the way and raised him."

When Tao Yanyan heard four years ago, he wondered, "Does that mean the child is already four years old?" But judging from his small body, he looks no more than three years old. He must be suffering from malnutrition, not having enough to eat or warm clothes.

"Does he have any keepsake with him?" Tao Yanyan thought, if there is, it can help him find his relatives in the future.

"There was some small change, but we spent it all. There was nothing special else."

"No, have you forgotten the one with the earring? But we sold that earring for silver. There's nothing we can do about it. People always have to eat." another beggar replied.

"Do you still remember what the earrings looked like?" Tao Yanyan thought that the hope might be slim, but having a pattern was better than having none.

"Who still remembers that thing? But it looks quite valuable. A single earring was sold for five taels of silver." The elderly beggar stretched out his five black fingers and said.

Tao Yanyan was shocked when she heard this. After she traveled through time, she also learned about the prices of goods in that era. A pair of very delicate earrings would cost at most one tael of silver, but they sold one earring for five taels. Apart from the fact that the buyer was doing charity and had compassion on these beggars, it could only mean that the earring was very special and valuable.

"Do you really have no impression of what the earrings looked like?" Tao Yanyan asked unwillingly.

Several beggars shook their heads.

Tao Yanyan was helpless. She squatted down and looked at the little beggar and asked, "What's your name? Do you have a name?"

The little beggar nodded obediently: "My name is Little Beggar."

Tao Yanyan: “…” You probably haven’t read any books and don’t know the meaning of this name.

She looked at them and asked, "Is that how you usually call him?"

The men said, "We don't understand either. Everyone calls us beggars, so since he is young, he is just a little beggar."

Tao Yanyan: “…” Well, that makes a lot of sense and I can’t refute it.

She gently asked the little beggar: "Huahua, I think you are cute. Today you bravely stood up to help me. I want to take you as my brother. Are you willing? Live with me in the future."

The little beggar looked at her with bright eyes instantly: "Yes, yes, I am willing." After saying that, he looked at the beggars eagerly.

Tao Yanyan stood up and said, "Since this child is not related to you, I think he is destined to be with me, so I will take him away today. You have raised him, and I will not let you down, so I will give you twenty taels of silver."

Being able to get twenty taels of silver and get rid of a small bag, the beggars were very satisfied and nodded hurriedly.

Tao Yanyan gestured to Qingfeng to give the silver. Qingfeng swallowed her saliva and wanted to persuade her to stop being impulsive. If she brought a little beggar home, she might be punished by His Majesty. But Tao Yanyan did not give her a chance to persuade her. He directly took her purse, took out 20 taels of silver, and handed them to several people.

The older beggar took it immediately and smiled from ear to ear: "Little beggar, this is a godsend. You just need to listen to my advice in the future. Good days are still ahead of you!" After that, several people kowtowed to Tao Yanyan, turned around and left with the silver.

Watching the people he had spent so much time with walk away, the little beggar felt a little lonely. Tao Yanyan said softly, "Let's go. I've already thanked them for you. Now I'll take you aboard to wash up, change into clean clothes, and cook you a bowl of delicious noodles. How about that?"

It was late at night and he couldn't digest what he had eaten so much. A bowl of noodles was just right to warm his stomach. As he was thinking about it, Tao Yanyan became hungry too.

When the little beggar heard that there was food, his eyes instantly lit up again, and he obediently followed Tao Yanyan onto the boat. From then on, he was no longer an orphan begging for food, he also had a sister and a family.

He Linzhang watched Tao Yanyan's operation throughout the whole process, and when he saw her pick up a little beggar, he sighed helplessly.

"Go prepare three bowls of noodles. Also, ask the imperial physician to check if he has any illness." The person has been brought back, and as long as he is confirmed to be healthy, we can just take care of him.

Eunuch Zhang was so shocked that he could hardly close his mouth. His Majesty did not blame him, but accepted it? And three bowls of noodles, were they going to eat them together?

Wow, it has to be the talented Tao! His Majesty will pamper you no matter what you do.
