Ming Dynasty Emperor System

Nightshade looked down and saw a pair of big black eyes. The ill-fitting clothes hanging on her body made her look even thinner. Her clothes were also dark and full of patches, and her shoes were in tatters.

"Little guy, do you have nothing to eat? Where are your parents?"

Nightshade knelt down and looked level with the child.

"Sister, I'm so hungry. I haven't eaten for two days. We don't have parents."

Seeing that Nightshade was neat and beautiful, the child let go of Nightshade's clothes and said timidly.

"you?"

"Yes, all the children in our yard have no parents."

"Okay, sister, take you to eat first, okay?"

Nightshade stood up and took the child's dark, slightly clumsy hand.

Cheng Wenjing was also a little moved when she saw the child's appearance.

Zhu Houzhao looked at the two of them without speaking.

"Hey, young lady, do you want to eat?"

The three of them walked in, and as soon as they reached the door, they were stopped by the waiter.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"You can come in, but this little guy can't."

"Why, he is with us."

When the child heard that the store clerk refused to let him in, he stepped back, and Nightshade hurriedly held his hand tightly.

"Miss, it's really not possible."

"Hmph, why should I take him in today?"

When Cheng Wenjing heard the waiter's refusal, her temper immediately rose. She put her hands on her hips and said angrily.

"Miss, to be honest, I know this little guy. He is begging around here. His name is Xiaojiu. We usually give him some food, but we really can't let him enter here. After all, there is a conflict. If we have distinguished guests, our responsibilities will be huge.”

The waiter in the shop said it very sincerely, so it was better for Solanum to embarrass him.

"Wen Jing, forget it, let's go somewhere else."

"Humph!"

Before Cheng Wenjing left, she cast a sidelong glance at the waiter.

Walking to the carriage, Nightshade looked at the child.

"Xiaojiu, is your name Xiaojiu?"

"Yes, sister, I'm sorry."

"What's wrong? Why are you saying sorry?"

The child suddenly said this, and Nightshade was still a little confused.

"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be hungry. I know what it feels like to be hungry. It's uncomfortable."

At this time, the child was speaking with a cry.

"Silly boy, why would I blame you? It's my sister who doesn't want to eat there. Let's just change it to another place."

Nightshade touched the child's head, which was just on her waist.

"That's right, Xiao Jiu'er, don't be afraid, sister will take you to eat delicious food."

Cheng Wenjing couldn't imitate Nightshade's soft-spoken voice, so she could only lower her voice as much as possible to avoid scaring the children.

But the child just looked at her without saying a word, focusing closely on Nightshade.

"Hey, why are you ignoring me?"

"Jing'er, okay, let's go eat. Aren't you hungry?"

The child didn't say anything, so Solanum hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

"Okay, I know there is a restaurant outside. Let's eat there. The food there is good. Let's go quickly."

When Cheng Wenjing thought of this, she quickly urged the three of them.

When he arrived at the small restaurant Cheng Wenjing mentioned, Zhu Houzhao discovered that it was in the West Market.

"Boss, bring me all your delicious food. I brought my friends here today."

After Cheng Wenjing sat down, she patted the table and said very proudly.

"Hey, Miss Cheng is here, okay, I won't let you down."

The boss, who looked like a dough ball, had a festive look on his face. When he saw Cheng Wenjing, his eyes narrowed.

"Jinger, do you often come here to eat? I think you are very familiar with the boss."

"It's okay. It's just that I come here every time I'm bored. The food is delicious and lively. You guys are the people I brought here for the first time."

Cheng Wenjing said proudly.

"Huh? Then why don't you bring someone else?"

Zhu Houzhao was a little curious.

"Because they are all 'noble ladies', who would want to come here?"

Cheng Wenjing said it nonchalantly, but Long Kui saw the faint emotion in her words.

"Haha, they are noble ladies and don't come. It just gives us an advantage. They are comfortable and have delicious food, right, brother."

"correct."

Zhu Houzhao quickly answered.

"Xiao Jiu'er, how old are you?" Cheng Wenjing turned to the child and asked with a smile.

"Ten years old."

Perhaps because he saw that Cheng Wenjing was not a very irritable or fierce person, the child answered her slowly.

Nightshade and Zhu Houzhao didn't know what to say. They were originally worried that this girl would be sad, but they didn't expect her to be very caring.

"You are so young at ten years old?"

Cheng Wenjing gestured at the child's height and didn't believe it at all.

The child lowered his head when he saw Cheng Wenjing's incredulous look.

"The dishes are ready!"

The waiter's voice sounded at the right time.

"Xiao Jiu'er, eat quickly, eat quickly, you'll eat in vain." Cheng Wenjing didn't feel the child's emotions at all. When she saw the food coming, she quickly urged him to eat more.

The child looked at Nightshade and saw her nodding, then started to use chopsticks. When eating, he only ate the food in front of him.

"Xiao Jiu'er, are all the children in your courtyard orphans? No one cares about them?"

Zhu Houzhao heard that the child was ten years old.And since he was an orphan, he had an idea in his mind.

"No one cares about us, we all get together by ourselves."

As soon as Zhu Houzhao spoke, the child quickly put down his chopsticks and lowered his head to answer.

"Brother, you scared him!" Nightshade saw the child's appearance and quickly coaxed him.

"Sister, can I eat less and take some back to them?"

The child asked timidly, his eyes full of determination.

"Eat more and make sure you're full. We'll buy some food for them after you finish eating, okay?"

The child is so sensible, Nightshade said quickly.

"Sister, you are so kind." Xiao Jiuer said in a low voice after hearing Solanum Kui coaxing him.

"Eat quickly, Xiao Jiu'er."

After a meal.The bellies of several people were round and bulging.

"Jing'er, the food in this restaurant is really delicious."

"Yeah, even if I come here for a long time, I still don't get tired of it."

"Sister, I feel so full. I have never been so full." After the meal, the child was no longer so shy.

"Haha, follow me from now on. My brother will make you eat well every day." Zhu Houzhao interjected.

"Thank you brother."

The child's face was also full of smiles at this time. After all, having a full meal has always been a luxury. Now that Zhu Houzhao told him that he can have a full meal in the future, he was naturally very happy.

After paying the bill, a few people started to wander around the West Market. Xiao Jiuer said that there were many children in their courtyard, so naturally they wanted to find some food that could feed many people.
