The concubine is often difficult to mess with: Prince, please make way

Chapter 29

"En." The other party responded softly, and took the cake that Jin Jiuying handed him.

Hearing the sound of chewing from behind, Jin Jiuying turned around.

A little boy, about seven or eight years old, had mud on his hands and face, his clothes were patched and dirty, he didn't know how long he had worn them, he didn't wear shoes, and his little feet were red with cold.

"How old are you?" Jin Jiuying bent over and asked him softly.

"Seven years old." The little boy had already eaten the biscuits in his hand, and his eyes were still looking at the bag in her hand.

"Do you still want to eat?" Jin Jiuying grabbed a few more pieces from the bag and gave them to him.

"Sister, can you give me some more? My grandma is sick and hasn't eaten for many days." The little boy didn't reach out to take it, but asked her for more.

The child's eyes are still quite fresh, but his body is a little thinner, and the clothes are still thin, and he is used to the cold. In such a cold day, he does not seem to be shivering from the cold.

"Your grandma is sick, can you take us to see her?" Jin Jiuying immediately frowned when she heard the child say this.

This child is quite young. It would be pitiful if there was only one grandma in the family and she was still sick.

"Grandma doesn't like me bringing people home." The child lowered his head, looking a little hesitant.

"But we can help you. This uncle is a doctor, and he helped grandma see a doctor." Jin Jiuying pointed to Ye Mo beside him, regardless of whether he agreed or not, and started business for him on his own.

"But grandma won't be happy, sister, just give me a few more biscuits." The little boy lowered his head and hesitated for a while, then decisively rejected Jin Jiuying, and directly asked Jin Jiuying to give him more food.

"Okay, I'll give you all." Jin Jiuying handed him the bag, then turned to look at Ye Mo standing beside him and said, "Can you lend me some money, and I'll return it to you when I get back."

"What are you doing?" Ye Mo asked when he handed a silver ingot to Jin Jiuying.

But Jin Jiuying didn't say anything, but smiled at him, and called the little boy to a sewing shop.

"Shopkeeper, choose two sets of clothes for this child, not too expensive."

Jin Jiuying was afraid that she didn't have enough money, and she wasn't sure if Ye Mo could lend her more, so she picked out some ordinary clothes, and took the child to buy a pair of shoes.

"Ye Mo, I heard that this inn collects cash by the hour?" Jin Jiuying walked to the door of an inn, stopped, looked up at the inn sign, and asked Ye Mo.

Jin Jiuying seldom stayed in hotels in the imperial city, and she didn't go to hotels very often. Besides, she used to be alone. For her who was flying around the wall, the problem of accommodation was to give money if she wanted to, and just make do if she didn't want to.

But Ye Mo is different, he has stayed in the imperial city for a long time, and he knows some prices here better than her.

"What are you doing?" Ye Mo looked at her a little strangely. Her home is in the imperial city, and it took less than an hour to go back from here. Could it be that she is tired of living at home and wants to experience the taste of staying in an inn?
"Really?" Jin Jiuying didn't tell him the reason, but chased him to answer her question.

"Yes." Ye Mo nodded.

This 'Huangcheng Zhijia' is indeed charged by the hour, and it is also the largest inn in Shengyuan. The main house is large and there are many rooms, especially the boss can do business.

He discounted the daily rate into hourly hours, if someone didn't want to stay for a full night, or checked in after midnight, on the next day, they would only be charged three hourly taels.

Of course, the check-in time is also set during the day, but there is also a disadvantage, that is, as long as you live in, even if you only stay for a quarter of an hour, you will be charged as an hour.

But there are still many people who come here, and many times it is still full.

It is mainly for those who can calculate small accounts and don't live too tightly, so they naturally intend to live here.

"It looks pretty good, at least it's more cost-effective than staying for a moment in some places." Jin Jiuying smiled after hearing Ye Mo's explanation.

The inn was also pretty clean. Jin Jiuying took the child, took Ye Mo to accompany her, ordered a common room, asked Xiao Er to boil a large pot of water, and then ordered a lot of dishes.

Ye Mo didn't know what Jin Jiuying was going to do until the waiter brought the water and food back, because she came in without hesitation after hearing that he had confirmed the price of the inn, but she didn't tell him any intention of coming here during this period .

"Little friend, come and take a bath first." Jin Jiuying asked the child to take off his dirty clothes, and then pulled him into the bathtub.

After washing him well, he changed into the new clothes he bought, and then packed all the meals he had ordered, and ordered another meal for him.

After he was full, he took his hand and said, "Can you take us to see your grandma now?"

"I'm afraid of grandma..." The little boy was still quite stubborn, lowered his head, put down the job he had eaten up, and was a little hesitant.

"It's okay, we don't tell her that you brought us to go." Jin Jiuying saw that the boy was still thick-headed and tiger-headed, and his big eyes twinkled cutely, even if he was born not very beautiful, so he With compassion.

After all, the child was still too young and ignorant, so after being coaxed by Jin Jiuying for a while, she believed her and agreed to take them home together.

This little boy's home is really only called a home, a dilapidated house, Jin Jiuying couldn't find a word to describe this dilapidated house.

The house is built with some bags filled with things and some bark, and the wall below is made of several planks and some thin branches.

The inside is even more barren, except for a wooden bed, there is only a stove, a dark pot, a table, and two ceramic bowls with gaps.

Jin Jiuying couldn't figure out how such a house existed in the imperial city, and why didn't the government take care of it?
This is under the eyes of the imperial palace. If envoys from other countries come to see it, wouldn't the current emperor be very embarrassed?
"Who is it?"

Just as Jin Jiuying and the others stood at the door, an old voice came out of the room.

In addition to being old, this voice was also a little weak, and it sounded like the voice of a terminally ill person.

Following the sound, I saw an old woman on the dilapidated bed in the room. Probably hearing footsteps, the old woman propped herself up and rubbed her head out, looking out at them.

The old woman's hair was all white, and her sallow face was covered with wrinkles, but it didn't affect the age spots on those wrinkles at all.

"Qingqing, didn't you tell you not to bring anyone home?" Seeing someone at the door, the old woman blamed the child who brought Jin Jiuying and the others back.
