Chapter 3741: If he doesn't come, it's up to him

He took it and handed it to the little beggar.
Said: "I will give you things first."
"..."
The little beggar still couldn't believe it. He opened his eyes wide and looked at him. After a while, he cautiously stretched out his hand, but Li did not immediately let go. Instead, he grabbed the box and stared at the little beggar's eyes. , Said coldly: "I give you things, but you owe me."
"..."
"After giving your mother something to eat, come back to work at my house."
"..."
"If you want to eat in the future, just do something to get it, you know?"
The child was holding the box in both hands and looked into his eyes. The originally thin body was inexplicably shorter, as if curled up by his gaze, before he whispered, "Yes."
Li Bushang let go and said, "Let's go."
The child glanced at him, put the box in his arms, turned and ran, stopped again after running for a while, looked back at Li Bu hurt, and ran away.
Xie Jiaojiao walked to Li Bushang's side with some doubts until his little back disappeared at the end of the long street.
He whispered: "Aren't you afraid he won't come back?"
"..."
"Such a little beggar, you don't even know where he lives, what if he doesn't come back?"
Li Bushang stood at the door, still looking at the end of the long street.
Faintly said: "If you don't come back, it's up to him."
"..."
Xie Jiaojiao glanced at him strangely, then looked ahead, and then said: "However, you are a magnificent Jinyiwei commander, a very big official, and His Majesty is so kind to you, even such a big house. I gave it to you for nothing. Are you stingy with such a small box of pastries?"
"..."
"If you don't give it to that kid, it's over, why do you want him to come back and do things?"
"..."
Li Bushang turned to look at her and said, "You can drive away wolves on the grassland. How do you treat those wolves in normal times?"
"what?"
Xie Jiaojiao did not expect that he would suddenly talk about this.
Frozen for a moment, and then said: "Just treat those wolves well."
"..."
"Don't look at them so fierce on the surface, in fact, they also have a gentle side, as long as they are kind to them, they will know."
"..."
"Be nice to them, that's enough."
"..."
Li Bushang was silent for a while, then said lightly: "It's not enough to be good to it."
"what?"
Xie Jiaojiao was taken aback by what he said again, and after thinking about it, he was about to say something, and Li Bushang had already left.
Xie Jiaojiao looked at his back, lost in thought.
For the next two days, she was still the same as before. She went to Li Bushang’s house to sit when she had time. Even if it was okay, she sat with him for tea. Sometimes she spoke, although Li Bushang looked He was not listening, but sometimes she asked him, but he could answer a sentence or two.
And the little beggar actually returned.
Li Bushang asked him to change his clothes, gave him a broom, and went to the garden to sweep the floor. Although the gardener here had already cleaned the floor, the child was still taller than him. The tall broom swept for most of the day.
Before leaving, Li Bushang was given him a box of food.
Then he said: "Come back in two days."
The child looked at him and thanked him softly. Li said coldly without hurting him, "I can eat when I come over and do things. Thank you, it has nothing to do with me."
The child left with his head down.
In the following days, he would come once every one or two days, sometimes sweeping the floor, sometimes washing clothes, and Li Bushang never let him go back empty-handed.
However, after he took a box of pastries and left one day, he did not appear again for several days.
When Xie Jiaojiao and Li Bushang were sitting in the pavilion in the garden drinking tea, they said softly, "That kid, won't you be here."
"..."
Li Bushang was about to reach for the tea cup and paused.
Then he said: "He doesn't come, it's up to him."
Xie Jiaojiao originally thought that he was thinking that the little beggar was pitifully trying to take care of him, but he didn't seem to mean it by listening to his words.
She asked suspiciously: "Then you, why do you want?"
Li Bushang took a sip of tea with a teacup and did not answer this question. Just when the two of them were sitting quietly, the housekeeper Wang Sheng walked in to report: "Master, the leader of Fang Da is here. See you in the palace right away."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Li Bu hurt immediately put down his teacup and stood up.
He also wears very neat clothes at home every day. He rarely wears casual clothes. At this time, he just trimmed his clothes and said to Wang Sheng, "You just say I will go out immediately."
"Yes."
Wang Sheng turned and left.
Xie Jiaojiao also stood up, looked at Li's injury, and said with a faint smile, "What are you doing these days? How come the emperor tells you to enter the palace several times?"
"..."
"Yes, are you busy with that day?"
"..."
"That's the day when the kid called you away suddenly."
Li Bushang glanced at her.
Then said: "It has nothing to do with you."
After speaking, he turned and walked out.
Xie Jiaojiao stood in the same place, looking at his distant back, and smiled softly, but then, a faint sad expression appeared on his face.


That night, Zhu Feng was busy until late before returning to Yonghe Palace, Nan Yan was already asleep.
After he took a bath, he gently lifted the quilt and went to bed. Although he was light-handed, as soon as he lay down, a familiar and gentle body got into his arms.
Zhu Feng looked down and smiled: "Did you sleep?"
"I slept and woke up again,"
Nan Yan said dazedly: "Why did the emperor go to bed so late? Didn't I say it before, I need to take good care of it."
"..."
"In this case, my concubine will find He Shouwu soak water for the emperor."
Zhu Feng smiled bitterly: "I am really afraid of you."
As he said, he pulled the quilt up and gave her a tighter seal, before saying: "Today there are a lot of things. People in Bailong City have been resettled, and there are still some problems that need to be solved. Moreover, on the other side of Shu, Liu Yueze's account is also Coming up, he is constrained over there and needs someone to help him."
"Only this?"
Nan Yan glanced at him and said with a smile: "The concubine went to send tea to the emperor in the evening, and it was clear that several Jin Yiwei commanders had entered the palace."
Zhu Feng said: "You have seen them."
Nanyan Road: "I saw it from a distance, so my concubine didn't enter the imperial study room and let Grandpa Shun send the things."
"..."
"The emperor is really true. He also said before that he wants to give Li Bushang and Miss Xie a chance to get along with them a lot. As soon as they enter the palace, they will be busy until midnight.
Zhu Feng smiled and said: "I also heard that Fang Buyuan was joking with Li Bushang when he left. It seems that Miss Xie's family was drinking tea at his house when Li Bushang left home."
"Oh?"
