That Yu Dayou said that he was effeminate, Xu Jin certainly disagreed. He was just handsome, so the word "feminine" was appropriate to describe the little beggar in front of him.

It was dinner time, and there was an extra set of dishes and chopsticks on the dinner table tonight, and there was an extra person next to him. It was the little beggar who fainted at the door of the courtyard yesterday morning.

Yesterday Xu Jin invited a doctor, and perhaps the treatment was appropriate. After drinking the decoction, the little beggar's fever subsided, and he was even able to get out of bed and walk today.

At this time, the little beggar was sitting opposite Xu Jin. He had a fair and delicate face, big and watery eyes, like a little girl. He was wearing clothes one size larger than Xu Jin's, and he looked cute and shy in a "quail style".

The little beggar seemed a little afraid of Xu Jin's scrutinizing gaze. He lowered his head and ate silently. His teeth were neat, delicate, and very white, making girls jealous.

"Little slave, eat more!" Xie Xiaowan put a piece of chicken into the little beggar's bowl and said pleasantly.

"Thank you, Sister Xiaowan!" The little beggar nodded politely.

Xie Xiaowan smiled and said: "You're welcome, eat it quickly, it will get cold later!"

Xie Xiaowanniang has a very loving younger brother at home, who is about the same age as the little beggar in front of her. In addition, the little beggar is pretty and cute, has a sweet mouth and is polite, so the little girl is even more loving.

The little beggar bit off the skin of the chicken and was about to spit it out, but found Xu Jin looking at him, so he frowned and swallowed the chicken skin. Looking at his uncomfortable look, he seemed to be eating shit.

Xu Jin asked calmly: "Little slave, where is your home and why do you live on the street begging?"

The little slave replied: "My home seems to be over there in Huguang. I can't remember the specific location. I was abducted by bad guys when I was very young. I have forgotten what my parents look like!"

Xie Xiaowan sighed and said, "Ms. sir, the little slave is so pitiful. Why don't we let him live in our house from now on? This will save him from wandering around begging and being bullied by the beggars from Chenghuang Temple."

Xu Jin couldn't help but be speechless. This girl Xiaowan is still too simple. This little slave's skin is delicate and white, and her teeth are delicate and neat. Is this what a beggar who lives in the open and wanders begging can have?

It was obvious that this little slave had lied. Coupled with the tone and order of his speech, it was obvious that he was well-educated and his family was definitely well-off, and not even ordinary well-off.

In ancient times, it was not possible for ordinary families to raise their children to look like this. Take teeth as an example. Children from poor families who often chewed coarse grains would have thick, yellow, and even uneven teeth, like those of a slave.

White, neat and delicate teeth must have been eaten carefully and well maintained since childhood.

Xu Jin didn't know why the little beggar lied, but there must be a reason. Of course, Xu Jin didn't want to know. He didn't want to cause trouble. He had done his best to save and cure people. He said calmly: "Xiaowan, the little slave doesn't have a household registration."

, he can’t stay at our house, I’ll take him to the county government office tomorrow!”

When the little slave heard this, his face turned pale immediately, he shook his head and said: "I don't want to go to the county government, sister Xiaowan, I don't want to go to the county government!"

"Ms. sir, how about..."

"No, we can't take in people of unknown origin!" Xu Jin interrupted firmly, because the little slave's behavior at this time made him even more suspicious.

"Sister Xiaowan, I don't want to go to the government, please don't send me to the government!" The little slave threw herself into Xie Xiaowan's arms, her face full of fear.

Xie Xiaowan was both embarrassed and pitiful, and coaxed in a gentle voice: "Okay, no, we won't send you to the government. My husband, let's just keep the little slave, okay?"

Xu Jin frowned and said: "Xiao Wan, it's not that my husband is cruel, the slave has no household registration and his origin is unknown. If something happens, we will be responsible."

Xie Xiaowan was immediately embarrassed when she heard this. Although she was kind-hearted, she had to think carefully if it would harm her family.

"If I don't go to the government, the government officials will collude with those beggars. They will hand me over to those beggars. They will break my hands and feet and make me lie on the street begging for money. It would be better to let me die!"

Nu'er suddenly sat up and bumped his head against the table.

There was a sudden bang, and the little beggar fainted and fell to the ground, with a big swelling on his forehead.

"Ah!" Xie Xiaowan exclaimed and quickly picked up the little beggar.

Xu Jin was also startled. He quickly stood up and touched the little beggar's neck. He found that there was still a pulse, but he just fainted. He couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ms. sir, let's not send our little slave to the government, okay?" Xie Xiaowan looked at Xu Jin pitifully.

Xu Jin could only nod helplessly and said: "Then let him stay for the time being!"

Xu Jin really didn't expect that this little beggar was so afraid of the government and would rather commit suicide than go to the government.

Xie Xiaowan said happily: "Thank you, Mr. Xie!"

"Don't be too happy too early. It's only temporary. Moreover, if the government checks the household registration, it will be useless for us to keep him!"

Xie Xiaowan nodded and said: "At least it's good to wait until the cold winter!"

The little beggar just fainted from the impact, pinched the person, and woke up in a moment, but his head was drooped and he didn't say a word.

Xu Jin said: "Don't pretend to be pitiful. Let's eat. I have decided not to send you to the government!"

A hint of joy flashed in the little beggar's eyes, but he immediately heard Xu Jin say: "But you can't live and eat for free at home. You must help with the work. If you dare to be lazy, I will kick you out."

"I will help with the work, and I won't live and eat for free!"

Xu Jin hummed lightly and said: "Then it's best. After dinner, you wash the dishes, and you can also boil the hot water!"

"I know!" the little beggar said with a bit of anger.

Xie Xiaowan couldn't help but give her husband an angry look!

"Okay, let's eat!" Xu Jin took a look at the swollen tumor on the little beggar's forehead and felt that it was more pleasing to the eye. He is obviously a boy, why is he so beautiful?

After everyone finished eating, the little slave wanted to clean up the dishes, but Xie Xiaowan grabbed it and said softly: "Little slave, your illness is not cured yet, and you have an injury on your head. Let my sister do the dishes!

"

The little slave glanced at Xu Jin and saw that he had no objection, so he put the bowl down.

"Little slave, go to the kitchen and boil a pot of hot water!" Xu Jin said calmly.

The little slave hummed and walked to the kitchen. Although he agreed readily, there was obviously a trace of annoyance in his eyes.

A moment later, billowing smoke came out of the kitchen...

"Hey, little slave, do you know how to light a fire? It's better to let my sister do it!"

"Oh, then let me help Sister Xiaowan wash the dishes!"

Bang, the sound of a bowl breaking was heard...

"Hey, you... the more you help, the busier you are. Little slave, you should go out and have a rest. Well, by the way, take out this pot of hot water and make a cup of tea for your husband. Be careful, don't burn yourself!"

The little slave ran out of the kitchen in disgrace, with streaks of black and white on his face, like a little cat with a painted face, and he was holding a hot water bottle in his hand.

Xu Jin couldn't help but shook his head. He had guessed that this would be the result, and turned around to go to the study.

The little slave stamped his feet in annoyance and followed Xu Jin into the study.

"Where's the tea set?" the little slave asked, puffing up his cheeks.

Xu Jin pointed to the coffee table: "They have all seen you!"

The little slave rolled his eyes and stomped over to the ground, looking like a frustrated little kid. Well, he was a little kid to begin with!

The little slave hurriedly made a cup of tea, put it in front of the case, and said firmly: "Drink tea!"

Due to excessive force, all the tea in the cup spilled out. Xu Jin couldn't help frowning and said: "Can't you be gentler? You have never served anyone before?"

"Yes, Ben... I've never served anyone before!" the little slave said with a red face.

Xu Jin shook his head, took a look at the tea cup, and said calmly: "The tea leaves have not been washed, right? Unwashed tea is called mud tea, do you know?"

The little slave couldn't help but roll his eyes and hummed to himself: "Just a poor scholar, drinking such low-quality tea, still poor!"

The little slave made another cup of tea for Zuo Jin, and this time he washed the tea leaves.

Xu Jin picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Looking at the little cat-like slave with a colorful face, he couldn't help but want to laugh. However, he still tried his best to maintain an unpredictable calm and said calmly: "The reason why I agreed to take you in is not

Because I am such a kind person, if you think so, you are totally wrong.

Xiaowan is my only relative and the person I care about most. I can take you in because of her, but I will not tolerate harm to her by taking you in."

The little slave lowered his head and remained silent.

"Also, from now on, put away your little cleverness in front of me. If you commit suicide by hitting the table, hit the corner of the table instead of the table top. You will die easily that way, you know!"

The little slave's little face turned red, he raised his head and glared at Xu Jin, and said loudly: "I'm not being clever, you... you just can't stand me, why don't you like me!"

Xu Jin almost spit out a mouthful of tea. Please, why should I like you? Besides, you are a little boy. How can you speak so girlishly?

Xu Jin put down the tea cup, waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't glare at me, go out and wash your face first. Also, you must leave when the weather gets warmer in the spring next year."

The little slave raised his hand and wiped his face with his sleeve, turned around and strode out of the study. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and said: "Do you think it's amazing that I live in your poor yard? You don't have to rush me when the time comes.

I can walk by myself, huh!"

Xu Jin was secretly amused. A brat is a brat after all. Even if he is a little clever, he will reveal a lot of flaws when provoked by his own words.

Xu Jin is now certain that this little kid's family background is by no means simple. Not only is he rich, but he is also expensive. However, he does not know how he ended up begging on the streets.

…

In the dark of night, a group of beggars returned to the Chenghuang Temple. Some of them were cursing and saying, "Damn it, my brothers searched the entire Shangrao County and couldn't find that little bastard, Little Nuer!"

"Ma Lao Qi, you are not the one who wanted to get behind this guy and scare him away, causing the boss to lose fifty taels of silver, fifty taels!"

"Tsk, Ge Laoliu, it's as if you don't want to, that little bastard is more beautiful than the little girl, and that skin is so tender... tsk tsk!"
