Chapter 206 Doggerel
The next morning, Murong Qing put on his curtain hat and left through the back door of the General's Mansion with his men.
She came to the Earth Temple on the outskirts of Beijing. In fact, this Earth Temple had long since declined and was now a place where homeless beggars in the capital spent the night.
He arrived early, and there were still many young beggars who had not gone out to beg. Murong Qing stepped into the temple with a bunch of copper coins in his hand, and the tinkling sound attracted the young beggars.
An older beggar asked, "Who are you and what are you doing here?"
Murong Qing chuckled lightly, "As long as you learn a limerick from me, I will give money to whoever learns it. What do you think?"
Is there such a good thing? The little beggars learn faster than the other.
Not long after, a bunch of copper coins were distributed. Unexpectedly, these little beggars learned so quickly. Murong Qing left very satisfied.
In the capital, at the feet of the emperor, there are still countless poor people. Those wandering children have invisibly witnessed the ups and downs of many things, and they have also invisibly played the role of making a difference.
The happiest time for children is either during the Chinese New Year or after school, when they are laughing and playing with other children.
In the past few days, many women in the capital have found their children reciting a new limerick. They wonder why they have never heard it before and let their children read it.
"Huang Lao Er Huang Lao Er, I have two children on my knees, but I don't have a baby on my body. I stay away from guests all day long and sit on the bed doing nothing."
The clear and crisp voices of children echoed in the streets and alleys, accompanied by shouts, cries, crowing of chickens and barking of dogs, dotting the busy streets of the capital.
A butcher heard it and thought about why the limerick was so rough, and who was the "Huang Lao Er" in the mouth of these children?
But it's not surprising that the things taught in school are annoying to children, but the children like those crude poems and operas very much, and they can read them catchyly.
When a spark ignites dry grass, the whole pasture will burn. The limerick is that spark.
On this day, the second prince's body had been recuperated and his energy had recovered a lot. He was tired of staying in the palace, so he went out in a carriage.
Wu De asked the second prince to refrain from arrogance, impetuosity and alcoholism. He was dissatisfied, but he did not dare to act recklessly because of his illness, so he could only follow the doctor's advice.
After finally going out that day, the second prince's carriage went straight to Yangchun Garden. The girls here are proficient in music and are as beautiful as flowers. They cannot be touched. It is also great to listen to the soft words of Wu Nong from the girls.
Two hours passed, and the second prince lay half-lying in the carriage, mesmerized, as if he was still immersed in the soft singing voice of the woman.
This was the time when children were returning from school, and children of all ages were running around on the street.
"Huang Lao Er, Huang Lao Er, I have two children on my knees, but I don't have a baby on my body. I stay away from guests all day long and sit on the bed doing nothing."
Eight or nine children recited limericks in unison. The guard following the carriage was originally focused on nothing else, but after listening for a long time, the content of the limericks inevitably came to mind.
At first, the guard didn't think anything was wrong, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong with the content of the limerick. A terrible idea emerged in his mind, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
The woman's gentle playing and singing turned into a noisy noise, which made the second prince's temples jump.
The more annoying I felt, the more those voices got into my head. The child's voice was sharp and thin, "Huang Lao Er, Huang Lao Er, there are two children under my knees, but I don't have a dick on my body. I shrink my head and don't see guests all day long. What?"
I don’t want to sit on the bed either.”
When the second prince heard this, he felt weird, but he couldn't say what was wrong.
"Hurry up the horse, it's so noisy, I want to go back to my palace!"
The second prince's gloomy voice came from the carriage, which frightened the accompanying guards and urged the coachman to move faster.
But there was a child in bright clothes who was holding a wood-carved bird in his hand. The bird was so lifelike that the friends behind him were extremely jealous. They all followed him, singing the newly learned songs while walking.
Doggerel.
The accompanying guards thought to themselves, "Damn it, where is this kid? He can't walk such a long road. Why does he have to follow His Highness's carriage?" He also hoped that His Highness would never pay attention to this trivial matter.
Unfortunately, things didn't work out as expected.
When the second prince returned to the palace, he always felt that something wrong was lingering in his mind.
It wasn't until after the meal that I thought about who those ignorant children were referring to by "Huang Lao Er"? Who didn't have a second child?
The second prince lost his thoughts on eating, swung his chopsticks, and shouted loudly, "Here comes someone! Go catch a kid on the street. I want to ask who the person they are talking about is!"
The guard thought badly, but let him hear it, so he could only follow the order and catch the sloppy little beggar.
He is a homeless beggar anyway, and no one will report him to the authorities if he is killed.
"Reporting to Your Highness, he has been captured."
As he spoke, the guard brought up a thin beggar.
The second prince's eyes were venomous, "Ask him if he can sing limericks."
Although the little beggar saw this magnificent mansion for the first time, he was fearless. When he heard the limerick, he thought he could get money like last time, so he sang loudly, "Huang Lao Er, Huang Lao Er, I have two children under my knees."
He only has no dick on his body. He keeps his head away from guests all day long and sits on the bed doing nothing."
After hearing this, the second prince angrily yelled, "Shut up! How dare you laugh at me, you little beast!"
The second prince is on his second trip, and there are indeed two children under his knees. After being injured, he did not see anyone for many days, and could not get out of bed until he received unscrupulous medical treatment. How dare these brats look down on him, the dignified second prince!
No, this limerick can't be heard by more people. The second prince got angry and pulled out the knife from the guard's waist to chop the little beggar.
At the critical moment, "Wait a minute!"
A stone hit the second prince's wrist, causing him pain. The falling knife also deviated from the direction and landed directly at the little beggar's feet.
The little beggar was so frightened that he cried loudly, and his cries echoed through the sky.
Wu De stepped into the room and frowned at the crazy second prince.
"Stop this prince, I must kill this little beast today!"
The second prince yelled angrily, trying to pull out the knife that was not even an inch into the floor, but found that he couldn't pull it out at all, so he had to give up, raised his hand to press his sore wrist, and turned his head to stare at Wude with an unkind look.
Damn you are so immoral, ruining his good deeds all day long!
The most unethical treatment and saving of lives is the indiscriminate killing of innocent people. But under the eaves, people have to bow their heads. If the person in front of him had not been the second prince of the dynasty, he would have been punished long ago. How can he still be alive today?
"Why would your Highness care about a child?" Wude said, "Otherwise, as long as the second prince spares this little beggar's life, I will treat your Highness tomorrow. What do you think, Your Highness?"
During the conversation, Wude had already protected the little beggar behind him.
