Jade Without Fragrance

   Chapter 103 Hanging Out

  Changning said, looking straight at Changshun.

  Changshun wondered: "Changning, you report the matter to the prince, what do you see me doing?"

  Changning coughed: "Changshun, you have to avoid it."

  Changshun's eyes widened immediately, and looked at Qi Shuo aggrieved: "Sir, look at him—"

   Qi Shuo said lightly: "Then you should avoid it."

  Changshun was stagnant for a while, and he ducked into the distance in dejection.

   "Tell me."

  Changning came up and said, "Sir, Miss Lin brought back two beggars."

   Qi Shuo smiled: "Miss Lin Er has a good heart."

  Changning was a little anxious: "No, Miss Lin recognized the older beggar as her righteous brother."

  Qi Shuo's eyes flashed slightly, but his voice was still calm: "Brother?"

   "That's right." Changning had a worried expression on his face, "You didn't see Shizi, that beggar is very good. What do you think Miss Lin Er thinks, she just picked up a beggar and recognized her righteous brother?"

   It must be because the beggar looks good!

  Changning was filled with indignation.

   "Got it." Qi Shuo picked up the scroll and looked at it.

   "Prince—"

   "Anything else?"

   "No... but Miss Lin—"

   Qi Shuo frowned: "Miss Lin has a reason for doing so, so there is no need to mention it again."

  Changning replied yes, secretly worried for his son.

  Changshun walked over and gave Changning an angry look.

  There is actually a secret between the prince and Changning, I am heartbroken!

  The two little servants stood around Qi Shuo, keeping quiet.

   Qi Shuo pinched the scroll, a little lost.

  Changning shook his head secretly.

   Shizi's mouth is not right, and it is himself who is wronged!

   Suddenly Qi Shuo got up and strode out.

   The two little servants looked at each other and hurriedly chased after them.

  The day is a little cold, the sun looks bright, but not much heat. The trees on both sides of the street had lost their leaves, revealing their bare branches.

   Qi Shuo walked slowly, like a stroll in a leisurely courtyard.

  Changning followed behind, a little puzzled.

  It turns out that the prince didn't go to see Second Lady Lin.

   The front was crowded with people, and cheers could be heard from time to time. Qi Shuo walked over and became one of the crowd.

   People are watching Ruyi class.

  The Ruyi Class is a well-known acrobatic class in the capital. It is often invited to perform by wealthy people.

   Qi Shuo's eyes fell on the boy in the Ruyi class who danced the sword.

  The boy is slender, with flexible movements, and the long knife is like his extended arm, swinging freely.

  Changning followed Qi Shuo's line of sight to the young man, secretly suspicious.

   This young man's name is Xiaofeng. He was originally a street performer, but he was accepted by the Ruyi class.

   For some reason, the prince paid special attention to this young entertainer, and had already watched the juggling several times.

  Qi Shuo watched the performance of Ruyi Ban quietly, followed by cheers from the crowd and clapped his hands gently, like everyone watching the fun.

  The performance of the Ruyi class ended, and several people were holding gongs and other objects to ask people for rewards.

   The boy named Xiaofeng walked towards Qi Shuo with a wooden tray.

   Qi Shuo glanced at Chang Ning.

  Changning understood, took out a string of copper coins and threw it on the wooden plate.

  Xiaofeng thanked him again and again and walked to the next person.

   Qi Shuo gave Xiao Feng a deep look, turned and walked out of the crowd. On the way back, he met Lin Hao and a boy.

   He glanced at the boy's face from the corner of his eye, and greeted Lin Hao calmly: "Second Miss Lin, go out."

  The trip to Qinglu Temple has undoubtedly brought the two closer together. Lin Hao said with a smile, "Go out for a walk with my righteous brother."

   "Brother?" Qi Shuo put his sights on A Xing's face.

  Axing was obviously uncomfortable, and accepted Qi Shuo's scrutiny with a tight expression.

   This young man with a little servant is the same person as the second girl. Unlike him, beggars who put on Chinese clothes will be beaten back to their original shape at any time.

   "I just recognized it, my righteous brother is called A Xing." After Lin Hao introduced him, he said to A Xing, "This is the prince of Prince Jing, who lives next door to the General's Mansion."

  Axing was surprised.

   turned out to be the little prince.

   "I have seen the prince." A Xing's voice tightened.

  Qi Shuo smiled: "You don't have to see the outside world. I have known Second Lady Lin since childhood, and we are very familiar with each other. You are Second Lady Lin's righteous brother, so we can be considered friends."

   Ah Xing really didn't know what to say, so he could only smile, the dignified little prince was so approachable.

   Seeing A Xing's embarrassment, Lin Hao said goodbye to Qi Shuo: "The prince is going back to the mansion, let's go first."

   "Where are you going shopping?" Qi Shuo asked without changing his face.

  Lin Hao looked a little weird.

   Prince Jing is not such a gossip person.

   "Just... just wander around, Ah Xing knows a lot of places I haven't been to."

   Qi Shuo curled his lips: "I also have many places I haven't been to—"

   Facing the girl's surprised eyes, he smiled: "If Miss Lin goes to an interesting place, come back and tell me, and I'll go shopping too."

  Lin Hao's expression returned to normal: "Okay."

   She thought that Prince Jing was going to go shopping together.

   Separated from Qi Shuo, Lin Hao and A Xing strolled from Xicheng to Dongcheng, the sun was about to set.

  A Xing finally couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you tired?"

   "It's very tired. Let's take a break in the tea shop and go back by car."

  There are several tables in the roadside tea shop, because it is Dongcheng, the tea drinkers look like ordinary people.

   Seeing the girl holding a tea bowl and drinking as usual, Ah Xing felt more and more strange.

  Er girl is really not like everyone's noble girls, and she doesn't dislike drinking tea in such a place.

   "Aren't you thirsty?" Lin Hao asked when he found A Xing holding the tea bowl in a daze.

   Ah Xing returned to his senses and finished drinking the rough tea.

   "Ah Xing, tomorrow you finish boxing with Uncle Liu, let's go out for a walk."

  A Xing subconsciously frowned: "Second girl—"

   "Say, call me alright."

   "Ah Ha..." A Xing forced himself to get used to it, "What do you want me to show you beggars everywhere?"

Lin Hao didn't plan to hide from A Xing: "I want to see how many old and young beggars there are in Beijing. Did you notice that this time of year is much colder than last year. I can't stand it."

  Axing widened his eyes in shock: "Don't you want to bring all these beggars home?"

"That's not true. I plan to provide them with a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and let's get through this winter..." Lin Hao didn't pay attention to A Xing's complex and amazed look, and expressed his doubts, "After walking through these places, I found that the elderly There are not many beggars."

  A Xing was silent for a moment, and his voice was a little dull: "The old and frail will not live long."

   You can’t compete with the beggars in the prime of life, and they are not as sympathetic as the young beggars. It’s almost ten days and a half of starvation.

  Lin Hao was silent and asked Ah Xing: "Can you help me? I often deal with Qi'er, I'm not that convenient."

   Ah Xing did not answer immediately, but asked: "So many beggars, do you plan to keep them all the time?"

   "Of course not, this is just the first step, there are still arrangements later."

   Hearing what Lin Hao said, A Xing nodded: "Let me deal with Qi'er."
