Qing'er closed the door, and Tang Ning stood at the door. It took a while to regain her composure.
The little beggar turned out to be a girl, which was different from what he had always imagined.
Based on her usual attire, it would be really difficult to identify her gender if I hadn't accidentally seen her when she was taking off her clothes just now.
However, regardless of whether she is a boy or a girl, the fact that she is his savior cannot be changed.
"Qian'er, come here." He waved to a maid in the mansion and whispered a few instructions. The maid named Qian'er walked out quickly. Zhong Yi stepped forward and asked, "Ms.
What happened, and who did you bring back just now?"
Su Ru and Tang Yaoyao also looked at him with doubts.
Tang Ning looked at her and said, "I should have mentioned to my wife that when I was in Lingzhou, I met a little beggar..."
At that time, he would always chat with Zhong Yi in the room for a long time at night, and mentioned this matter more than once.
Zhong Yi looked at him and said with some joy: "Has your husband found that little benefactor?"
Tangning nodded and said, "She is the one in the room."
Tang Yaoyao on the side was even more confused and asked: "What kind of little benefactor?"
Zhong Yi walked to the courtyard and explained to Su Ru Tang Yaoyao about the little beggar. Tang Ning was pacing outside the door, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously. Even when he won the top prize a few days ago, he didn't look like he does now.
So happy.
It took nearly a year from Lingzhou to the capital to finally find her.
Tangning was standing outside the door when she suddenly heard Qing'er's scream from inside.
His expression changed. Only when he pushed the door did he realize that the door was locked from the inside. He slammed the door open with his shoulder and saw Qing'er falling to the ground. He hurriedly stepped forward and helped her up. Qing'er rubbed her
He raised his buttocks and pointed to the bed and said, "Uncle, I just wiped her body and put on her clothes, and she woke up."
Tangning's clothes looked a bit too wide for the little beggar. She was huddled in the corner, looking at him and Qing'er with vigilant eyes.
Tangning took a step forward, but she shrank back again, her expression even more wary.
"Do you still remember me?" Tangning stopped, looked at her, tried his best to soften his voice, and said slowly: "Last year in Lingzhou, in that alley, that bun... filled with cabbage.
"
The little beggar looked at him, and something seemed to flash in his smart eyes.
A maid named Qian'er ran in from outside and said, "Uncle, I bought the buns!"
Tangning took a bun from her hand, handed it over carefully, and said, "Last year you gave me a bun, and now I'm giving it back to you."
The little beggar looked at the bun in his hand, but did not reach out.
Tang Ning looked at her, broke the bun in half, took one half and took a bite before handing the remaining half to him.
The little beggar looked at him for a long time, and finally carefully stretched out his hand.
She took the half of the bun, took a bite carefully, and chewed it carefully.
Tang Ning looked at Qing'er and said, "Qing'er, go prepare some porridge."
"Oh, I'll go now." Qing'er nodded. As she walked out of the room, Tangning seemed to have remembered something and asked, "Do you have any clothes that are slimmer and suitable for her?"
Qing'er straightened her chest, looked down at her figure, and said dissatisfiedly: "Uncle, where do you gain weight?"
Qing'er's figure is actually not fat at all. To be precise, the little beggar is too thin. She can't hold up Qing'er's clothes at all.
However, it was already very difficult for her to live outside her home at such a young age, with no food to eat, no clothing to cover her body, and not starving to death.
Tang Yaoyao and Zhong Yi walked in from the outside. Qing'er looked at Tang Yaoyao and suddenly said: "Uncle, sister Yaoyao has a similar figure to her. Why don't you ask sister Yaoyao if she has any clothes from her childhood?
"
Tang Yaoyao looked at the little beggar, then looked down at herself, and said angrily: "Damn Qing'er, please explain to me clearly, what does it mean that our bodies are almost the same..."
Qing'er ran out in a hurry. Tang Ning looked at Tang Yaoyao. Tang Yaoyao's figure was amazing, with a waist and beautiful legs, but there were also some flaws. In this regard, she was similar to a beggar who had been starving for a long time and suffered from malnutrition.
.
So many people came into the room at once, and the little beggar hid towards the corner of the bed, holding the bun tightly in his hand.
Tangning carefully walked to the bed and said, "Don't worry, no one here will hurt you."
Zhong Yi looked at the bedside and saw that the little beggar still had a wary look on his face. He whispered to Tang Yaoyao and Su Ru, "Let's go out first."
After they walked out, Tangning moved inside and said, "Thank you for the bun. Otherwise, I would have starved to death."
The little beggar lowered his head and ate the buns in small mouthfuls without saying a word.
Tang Ning noticed that the vigilance on her face had dissipated a lot, and asked tentatively: "My name is Tang Ning, what is your name?"
The little beggar continued to lower his head and said nothing.
Tangning looked at her and asked carefully, "Don't you know how to speak?"
"Xiao..., Xiao Xiaoxiao."
She paused while eating the buns, and after a long time, a small voice came. Although the voice was small, it was crisp and sweet.
"Xiao Xiaoxiao..." Tang Ning read the name several times. Seeing that she had finished eating the buns in her hand, she hurriedly handed over another one, walked to the table, and poured her a glass of water.
The little beggar took the bun, thought about it, broke it in half, and handed half of it to Tang Ning.
Tang Ning took half of the bun and took a bite. She felt that this was the most delicious cabbage-filled bun he had ever eaten since that day.
Qing'er quickly picked up a piece of clothing that she had worn a few years ago. When she moved, she was the one who brought the most things with her, and it came in handy this time.
Tangning saw her clothes lying next to the bed and said, "Put on these clothes first."
He walked out, closed the door, and saw Xiao Jue walking in from the outside.
"I sent people to the county government to inform them. Your father-in-law sent people to arrest those beggars. By the way, Tang Zhao was taken away by servants of the Tang family..." He looked at Tang Ning and suddenly asked: "Did you just take him away?"
Who is leaving?"
"This matter is a long story." Tangning shook her head and said, "I will explain it to you slowly when I have the chance."
"Okay." Xiao Jue shrugged and said, "However, don't blame me for not reminding you of one thing. Your kick was a bit harsh. Tang Er would have broken at least a few ribs. The Tang family might look for him.
You are troublesome..."
Even if nothing happened today, Tang Ning would have thought about doing something to draw a clear line between herself and the Tang family. Tang Zhao's appearance only created such an opportunity for him.
A large number of children are abducted and trafficked. Even if the Tang family is found guilty of this crime, they will have to peel off their skin.
Qing'er opened the door and walked out, saying, "Uncle, she has changed."
Tangning walked in quickly and saw that the little beggar had already changed into Qing'er's clothes. She was too thin, and even Qing'er's clothes from a few years ago were still a little fat on her body.
Xiao Jue looked at her and said in surprise: "She is actually a little girl..."
He looked at the little beggar curiously, then looked at Tangning again and said, "It's time for us to go back to the palace. We still have some etiquette to finish. If we go late, be careful not to miss the Qionglin Banquet in the evening."
The little beggar still held half a bun in his hand and stood behind Tang Ning, still wary of the surrounding environment.
Tang Ning looked down at her, then looked at Xiao Jue and said, "I have something to do and I can't leave here. How about you ask for leave for me tonight?"
