Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

That day, the little swallow left the large group and went for a stroll by herself.

Ziwei and the five-member group followed.

For some reason, Benjamin hasn't been involved recently, and Xiaoyanzi is a carefree person, so naturally she didn't notice it.

Xingfeng Restaurant.

A man dressed like a gangster sat at the wooden table.

He held the sword and the flute in his right hand and drank from the wine glass in his left hand.

"I travel the world with a flute and a sword..." The man raised his head casually, tilted the wine glass in his hand, and took a sip of the wine.

Yeah, the pose is perfect.

"What a handsome man, traveling the world with a flute and a sword!" Yongqi showed admiration in his eyes, and Erkang also stood up and applauded.

“Thank you so much.”

The man also stood up and returned the greeting. They hit it off right away, as if it was a divine guidance.

Xiaoyanzi's eyes lit up, she admired people from the martial arts world the most, they were free and unrestrained.

"My name is Xiao Jian, how many people are you?"

"This is Xiaoyanzi, this is Yongqi, this is Ziwei, and this is my younger brother Ertai."

"I am Fulkan, son of Grand Secretary Fulun."

Originally there was a suffix called Imperial Guard, but he was dismissed a few days ago, so Erkang had to give up.

"Nice to meet you." Xiao Jian said politely. He was good at dealing with people. Moreover, based on his years of experience in the martial arts world, he believed that these people must have extraordinary origins and might be able to be of use to him.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jian's attitude became even more enthusiastic.

Xiaoyanzi felt that Xiao Jian looked very familiar, so she started talking to Xiao Jian in a familiar manner.

"It is my honor to meet you all. I hope we can meet again in the future and have a drink together." Xiao Jian had important things to do, so he left first.

He heard that the dog emperor was on a secret visit, and he wanted to see if there was any opportunity to take action.

Xiaoyanzi was still a little reluctant to leave, as she had finally met someone with similar interests.

"Everyone has gone far away." Yongqi said sourly.

"I'm not blind." Little Swallow muttered.

The awkward pair of bickering enemies made everyone laugh, and the depressed mood of the past few days was swept away.

On the way back, Xiaoyanzi was still talking about how Xiao Jian was handsome and his behavior was very free and easy.

Yongqi felt a little jealous, but thinking that they might have only met once, he suppressed his displeasure.

Some people you only meet once, but some people you have a deep connection with.

At night, there was an unusual movement in the yard. Hailancha and Fukang'an looked at each other and went to the backyard tacitly.

Sure enough, there was a dark shadow looking for something furtively.

Fukang'an suddenly rushed out and caught the thief in one go.

The little thief turned out to be a half-grown child, who was grabbed by the back of the neck by the tall Fukangan and was fluttering in the air.

"You bold little thief, where are you running to!"

The child was shaking and begging for mercy.

"Have mercy, sir, have mercy, I won't dare to do it again!"

The child's crying startled everyone.

Qianlong and others got up sleepily to find out what was going on.

When Xiaoyanzi saw Fukangan carrying a child, she immediately shouted, "Fukangan! How dare you bully a child?"

"Bullying? Xiaoyanzi, your stupidity is truly pervasive!"

"Master Fucha is dedicated to his duties. It's obvious that this is a petty thief in the middle of the night."

Fu Kang'an's eyes softened a lot, and Princess Hexi spoke for him! Xiaoyanzi's crude words without thinking also sounded much more pleasant.

"You! No matter what, you can't be so rude!" Xiaoyanzi couldn't stand bullying of the weak, and she had always been at odds with Hexi and Fukang'an.

"What? Does a thief who steals things have to be worshipped? Could it be that you feel the same as this little thief?" He Xi retorted.

She hates naughty children the most, and even more so, she hates those who say that children are too young.

Any child who has his own thoughts should be punished if he does something wrong. Don't think that the child doesn't understand anything.

Xiaoyanzi felt guilty, thinking that she was also a thief in her past.

Somehow, she felt that He Xi's eyes were very sharp, as if he could see through her past and into the darkest corners of her heart.

"Who are you?" He Xi motioned Fu Kang'an to put the child down. Fu Kang'an understood, and the child curled up on the ground as soon as he was let go.

"I... I didn't mean it. I was wrong!" The child couldn't bear the scrutiny of so many people, so he cried and shouted while telling his story.

It turned out that he saw Qianlong and his entourage dressed in gorgeous clothes, so he wanted to take advantage of the dark when no one was around to see if there was anything he could steal and sell to treat his grandfather's illness.

The child finished speaking with sobs, then kowtowed several times, begging not to be sent to the government.

"If I were locked up, there would be no one to take care of my grandfather."

People are multifaceted. There are no absolutely good people and no absolutely bad people. Although the child in front of me attempted to steal, he is truly filial.

The hemp rope is cut at the delicate point, and bad luck finds the poor.

There were many such things along the way.

The child said that he and his grandfather have been dependent on each other since he could remember. This winter, his grandfather caught a cold and has not recovered since then, and all the family’s money has been spent.

He was desperate and tried all kinds of treatments, and became greedy.

Xiaoyanzi was moved and pleaded for the child.

"Master, let's just let him go and give him some money to save his grandfather."

"Yes, sir, you are such a noble and great man, you will definitely be able to help the child." Ziwei was also pleading.

The child lowered his head and his expression could not be seen clearly.

Qianlong was silent for a while and didn't say anything. Xiaoyanzi was so anxious that she went back to her room to get the money.

He Xi looked at the child, walked up to him and squatted down.

"I give you two choices. One is to give you enough money to save your grandfather, and the other is to live a good life through your own efforts."

"Which one do you choose?"

Upon hearing this, the child looked up at Hexi timidly, pursing his lips in embarrassment.

After a long while, he said firmly: "Sister, I choose the second one!"

He Xi showed appreciation. In her opinion, poverty is not a dead end, but poverty of ambition is.

If he chooses enough silver to save Grandpa, she will fulfill her promise, but that's all.

It seems that the child is not the kind of person who likes to be lazy and hates work.

Hexi suggested to Qianlong: "Father, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish."

Xiaoyanzi asked Ziwei in a puzzled voice: "What's fish or not fish?"

"Xiaoyanzi, what this sentence means is that it is better to teach others how to solve the problem than to help them."

Hexi heard the conversation between Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei and had a blank expression on her face.

Hexi suggested to Qianlong that they help the child open a noodle shop, of course they would only pay for three months' rent.

The child's eyes are bright, this is hope, which is better than direct money.

Because they had to travel quickly, the noodle shop opened within one day.

This speed shocked He Xi.

The person who took charge of this matter was Fu Kang'an. Well, I discovered another advantage of him, he is very efficient.

And he won't show off his identity for no reason.

"Fukangan, how did you do it?"

"Find a noodle shop that's for sale, and you're all set." Fu Kang'an said calmly.

He Xi realized that she had fallen into a misconception. Why bother with all that effort when she could achieve the goal in one step?

When Fukang'an saw Hexi's slightly admiring look, a smile appeared on his lips.
