There are three children in Kaifeng

The rain gradually stopped.In the dilapidated room, one person was lying on a plank bed, already sound asleep, and there were two other people in the room, all in tattered clothes, sitting around a dilapidated table.

One of them was sitting upright. Although his clothes were ragged, he still couldn't hide his righteousness.The other person yawned again and again, resting his hands on the table and lowering his eyes, the atmosphere in the room was strange.Needless to say, it was Ding San who was yawning, and the tall and straight one was Ma Han who was also dressed as a beggar.

"That...Master Ma Han, the grassroots know that you love your job and are dedicated to your work, but you are upright...you can be an undercover agent at first glance..." Ding San felt his throat A little dry.

"Oh, what should we do then?" Ma Han clasped his shoulders with his hands in puzzlement.

"How can a beggar be so nimble." After speaking, he pointed to Ma Han's meticulous hair and clean face, and sighed.

"Write more reminders, little brother!" Ma Han suddenly realized that despite being a school lieutenant of Kaifeng Mansion, he was also a straight-hearted person. He immediately let go of his hair and wiped two handfuls of ashes on his face.

"That...Master Ma Han, you see, you have been tossing and tossing for most of the night, you must be tired, old man, go to rest early~ Do you want me to spread straw for you?" tail up.

"Don't worry about it." Ma Han was still sitting at the table.

"Then you don't need to poke here so obviously, there is no beggar who is not lazy...Caomin will have a heavy workload tomorrow, so go to bed first~" After finishing speaking, he quickly slipped to the corner, with the fastest Hugging two straws at a fast speed, it didn't take long to meet Zhou Gong, and there were bursts of shouts.

Mahan scratched his head, leaning against the straw in another corner and dozed off.

In the dream, Ding Sanying vaguely saw a person: dressed in the official uniform of a yamen servant, standing sideways, holding a notebook, and holding a brush, waiting for someone, suddenly turned to look at Ding San, and immediately ran away with a smile on his face He came over and said something to Ding San, but Ding San couldn't hear clearly, as if he was in a vacuum, he could only shout at the man: "What are you talking about! Louder! Can't hear you! "After speaking, she put her hands on her ears and tried to hear more clearly. The gesture of the person on the opposite side was wider, and she tried to tell Ding San with mouth shapes, but she still didn't understand. It's gone!" Seeing that the person on the other side didn't show any intention of stopping, but he was getting farther and farther away from her, and he felt in a daze that someone pushed him, and he seemed to fall into an abyss...

"Ah!" Ding San bounced up from the straw, facing a pair of surprised eyes. The owner of these eyes was wearing sharp clothes. It was Ma Han who was disguised as a beggar. Looking around, there were still dilapidated houses and straw, and he let out a long sigh—it turned out to be a dream.

"It's dawn." The lack of sleep on his face, the dark circles under his eyes and his haggard look made Ma Han closer to the role of a beggar.

"Oh, then it's time for us to go to work, and please trouble Mrs. Ma to take care of Xiao Zhou!" After speaking, he stretched his waist and walked out the door.

"Go to work?" Ma Han muttered to himself, staring at the disappearing figure at the door.

......

"Yo, get out of here, get out of here, don't be an eyesore!" Jinxuanlou's Xiao Er chased Ding San out like a fly.

"Let it go, my lord, I'm not here to beg for food with you today, my lord, we're here to spend today!" Ding San patted his clothes.

"It's just you who still spend money and don't care about your own virtues!" Xiao Er sneered.

"A dog's eyes look down on people, that's right, the young master is here to spend today, take a look!" After finishing speaking, he took out a large ingot of silver from his bosom and weighed it in his hand.

"Yo, sir, look at me, I really don't know Taishan. Please come inside, please, this is the biggest restaurant in Kaifeng. There are flying in the sky and running on the ground. You can eat whatever you want!" Xiao Er Staring closely at the silver that was being thrown up and down in Ding San's hand, he smiled broadly.

"Cut, that's fine, you can give us 'Coke Chicken Wings'!" Ding San squinted at him.

"Master, don't be joking, the villain has never heard of the dish you mentioned, but there are chicken wings, it's not so pleasant..." Xiaoer looked embarrassed.

Seeing that Xiao Er was in trouble, Ding San laughed aloud: "Little Er brother, you don't know me anymore?"

"This...sorry for the stupid eyes..." Xiaoer couldn't remember that he had received such a person.

"Hey, that's right. A busy person like my second brother drives away countless beggars every day. How can you remember me?" Ding San pretended to be sad.

"Look, you are so prosperous today that you are not what you used to be, and you can still remember the little one, how honored the little one is." Xiaoer looked at Ding San carefully, and vaguely remembered that there was such a person who said that he was looking for a "job" or something, and asked himself to give it to him. chased away.However, in the waiter of a big businessman, talking is just a trick.But seeing Ding San's upturned nostrils, he still asked curiously, "Where did you get rich recently?"

Ding Sanxin said: Just wait for your sentence!Immediately afterwards, he said with a big mouth: "You don't know that, we are going to become famous soon!" Seeing Xiao Er's suspicious face, Ding San became angry: "Don't believe it?!" Xiao Er shook his head honestly, After Ding San looked around, he said to Xiao Er mysteriously: "Let me tell you, you can't tell others about this!" Seeing Xiao Er nodded firmly, Ding San's mouth twitched: The more this In places where there is a large flow of people, the more unrevealable secrets spread faster.

"Recently, a major incident happened in Kaifeng Mansion. There is a cripple who wants to sue the current No. [-] Scholar!"

"Really!" Xiao Er suddenly turned pale with shock, Ding San quickly raised a finger to his lips, "Shh, keep your voice down, of course it's true!"

"What are you telling the current number one scholar?"

"Sue the current number one scholar for an imposter!"

"Huh?" Xiao Er was puzzled.

"Hey, what's the name of the current number one scholar?" Ding San asked.

"Zhou Qin, everyone in Kaifeng knows that he is the champion of the dynasty, a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, a student of the emperor, and the son-in-law of the prime minister!" Xiaoer replied.

"It's odd here! The cripple said that he was also called Zhou Qin! He said that he met the number one scholar Zhou Qin by chance and saved the life of the number one scholar Zhou Qin. The two became sworn brothers with the same name and surname. The day before yesterday, the No. [-] Scholar Zhou Qin suddenly fell seriously ill and was unable to take the exam. The No. [-] Scholar was the crippled Zhou Qin. In order to impersonate others, Zhou Qin killed the old woodcutter who provided them with food and lodging. Mute his stepbrother, cut his tendons, ruined his face and blinded his eyes... You haven't seen how miserable that Zhou Qin is, tsk tsk..."

Ding San sighed unceasingly, and the second brother also gasped:

"Then what does this have to do with you?"

"Listen to me, this Zhou Qin escaped by rolling off the cliff after being seriously injured and disabled. He came to Kaifeng after being in a coma for several days. We found him." After speaking, he looked at Xiao Er triumphantly.

"That day, it was really thunder and lightning, and it was raining heavily... It was such a night, I was dozing off in my shabby house, and suddenly a thunderbolt woke me up, so I opened my eyes!" Ding San paused, Hanging Xiao Er's appetite.

"And then?"

Seeing that the little girl got on the road, Ding San continued: "I saw a man covered in blood, and with the thunderstorm behind him, it seemed like Yasha was reincarnated! At that time, my soul flew away, so I ran out of the house in a panic. In a panic, I bumped into Mr. Bao who was returning home, and told Mr. Bao about this, after interrogation, Mr. Bao found out about the cripple’s grievances, and said that the trial will start after he obtains evidence.”

"Cut, liar! If it is true as you said, that man is blind and dumb, and his tendons were cut off, how could he tell Mr. Bao that he was wronged?" Xiao Er found out the flaw.

"It's rare to see, but that person said the grievance on paper instead of writing." Ding San glanced at Xiaoer.

"Then it's true?"

"Of course, Nuo, didn't you see this silver tael? It was given by the Kaifeng government. Today we are here to buy food for the disabled. Mr. Bao asked us to take care of him. If this case is true, then we can help The number one scholar has filed for injustice, a great achievement, and it will be hard not to be famous in the future~" Xiaoer looked at the silver tael in Ding San's hand again, it was indeed the official silver, there must be a chance of this Can't go wrong.

"Oh, I've been talking for a long time, and I almost forgot about the business. Xiao Er packed us a copy of the good wine and food in your store, and the champion is waiting to eat!" When talking, Ding San deliberately emphasized "the champion" two words.Xiao Er's eyes lit up immediately, and his spirits lifted, "Grandpa, wait a moment, I'll get ready for you, little one!"

......

Holding the food and wine presented by Xiao Er, Ding San was secretly proud of himself. The Xiao Er had just said that he would strictly keep it a secret, but he told the boss in a blink of an eye.It's just around the corner that this topic will be full of ups and downs in a short period of time.

"Take pity on me..." A familiar voice drifted into Ding San's ears, and he followed the sound, happily: old acquaintance!

"Yo, you two uncles, haven't you started bearding today?" Ding San squatted beside the two beggars meanly, looking at the empty bowls in front of the two beggars.The two beggars "teng" became angry, bounced off the ground, pointed at Ding San and cursed: "His grandma, you dare to seek bad luck for grandpa in the morning, don't die!"

Ding San waved his hands unhurriedly, and said with a smile, "Hey~ how dare we seek ill luck from the two gentlemen, do you still remember me?" She asked, and the two of them watched carefully before remembering— — This is the little beggar who choked with them here before.

"I think you really don't want to live anymore. Last time grandpa was kind enough to let you go, but this time you are obedient, and you are making yourself uncomfortable." One of them stared at Ding San viciously, and squeezed his knuckles, "Crack it!" "click" sound.

"Master, don't worry, we won't beg for food in the future, and we won't compete with you for land, no, see if you two haven't started a mess yet, have you brought wine to you~" After finishing speaking Raise the wine jar in your hand.

"Hmph, even if you have filial piety, you can still tell the height of your eyebrows." The two sat down angrily, and took the wine jar from Ding San. "Hey, boy, what can you do with wine and no food, bring your food here for grandpa!" One of them had sharp eyes and found the food in Ding San's hand, Ding San hurriedly put on a flustered look, Protect the meals donated by the Jinxuan Tower tightly.

"Boy, is your skin tight?" The two were displeased.

"Master, if this belongs to a villain, the villain will naturally honor you. This is for the current number one scholar!" Seeing Ding San's mysterious expression, the two beggars were also curious.So Ding San repeated what he had said to the restaurant clerk, and both of them were equally ashamed, and at the end Ding San didn't forget to add: "Don't tell anyone, it's a secret."

……

During the whole morning, Ding San used this so-called "secret" to cheat food and drink everywhere, and even packed a lot of food when he was full.Teahouses, grocery stores, gambling houses... as long as there are places with a lot of traffic, they will go everywhere, and they will miss the brothel.

In front of her was the legendary brothel, she was hesitating how to strike up a conversation with the "door boy", when someone behind her patted her on the shoulder, and when she looked back, it was a girl:

She has an oval face, round eyes, and moth-like eyebrows. She is not ugly, but she is wearing a purple gauze dress that is vulgar, and her face is also thick with makeup.

"Brother, are you a swill collector?" The girl's voice was not as hypocritical as expected.

"Collect swill?" Ding San wondered.

"The swill bucket is in the backyard, so you have to enter through the back door. Didn't Uncle Zhang tell you? I'll take you there."

"Girl, do you think I'm holding so much food, do I look like a slop collector?" Ding San smiled wryly.

"But your clothes..."

"Like a swill collector?" Ding San was speechless.

"Brother, don't be angry, I don't mean anything else, no one is stronger than me." The girl sighed.

"Are you the girl in this building?" Ding San looked back at the building behind him - Wanchun Building.

"Not now, not necessarily after tonight." The girl smiled sadly. "I originally went to the rivers and lakes with my father to sell and sing. A while ago, my father went and had no money to bury him, so I sold myself to be a singer in this Wanchun Tower. I can't sing well, and there are few guests. Prepare to let me pick up guests, today is my last night of innocence."

Ding San felt very uncomfortable, it's a pity to be such a girl.I want to help, but I am just a beggar, how can I have the money to redeem her.Women in ancient times were bound by feudal etiquette and could not support themselves. If this is the case in modern times...

"By the way, help yourself! Miss, what kind of songs do you sing?" Ding San's eyes lit up, the girl was startled by her, and quickly replied: "Sing some flirty songs, but the voice is not as clear as others. "After speaking, he lowered his head.

"Sing whatever you want and I'll listen to it!"

"Reach out your hand to touch the needles in Missy's nose, you will burn the air out of the hut, reach out to touch Missy's mouth, the baby's eyes are smiling slightly..." The girl was a little surprised, but she still sang a verse to Ding San.

"By the way, what's your name?" Ding San remembered that he hadn't asked the girl's name yet. "Little Taohong," the girl replied.Ding Sanxin said: "Xiao Taohong, let's return San Dezi!"Ding San didn't laugh because of the girl's face, and said seriously:

"Your voice is low, with a lot of mid-bass. It's not suitable for singing this kind of song, and the lyrics of this song are too explicit, it's not suitable for a girl like you. Naturally, you can't sing that flirtatiously." Ding San's analysis was straightforward. with.

"What should I do?"

"Come on, let's find a place, you try my song..."

……

In Xiao Taohong's bedroom in Wanchun Building, Ding San looked at Xiao Taohong, who was dressed in blue water gauze, and she tugged at the corner of her skirt nervously: "Can this work? Mom always says I'm not beautiful enough, so guests don't tip me , and now you let me wash off the makeup..."

"It's her blindness to say that you are not beautiful enough. Haven't you heard of 'If you want to be pretty,' you just don't have white clothes, or I still think you are gorgeous in clothes." As he spoke, he stuck his head into the suitcase and turned around , trying to find a more plain dress. "You are handsome by yourself, but you will look stupid when you put on heavy makeup."

"En." Xiao Taohong blushed.

"Don't be so discouraged, do you remember the song I taught you?"

"Um"

"People who come here are lonely, empty and cold masters in spiritual life. You have to have confidence in yourself."

"Um"

"Anyway, tonight is also the last night. Why not try it? If you don't succeed, you will be rewarded."

"En!" Xiao Taohong's last reply was resounding, full of heroic spirit.Seeing that Xiao Taohong has made up her mind, Ding San feels that she can help here, and it is time to retire, and the rest is up to God's will... Thinking of the dilapidated house, there are still two mouths waiting to eat Well, he hurriedly bid farewell to Xiao Taohong, left the Wanchun Tower, and returned to the broken house.

In the dilapidated house, Ma Han, Xiao Zhou and Ding San's eyes turned green after the meal.Ding San hurriedly accompanied Xiao Xiao to have dinner with them...

After a few days, Xiao Zhou recovered well and regained some energy. The four captains of Kaifeng Mansion took turns pretending to be on duty, and everyone gradually became familiar with him.Ding San still went to the streets every day to bluff and cheat, had food and drink, and lived a pretty good life, sometimes selfishly thinking: It would be great if this case could be kept going like this...

It was the dynasty on duty that day. In the evening, Ding San had just returned with the roast chicken from Quanshun Building. Strangely, after entering the room, I found that there were not only Xiao Zhou and Lao Wang in the room, but there was an extra person!
