He strode away from here, leaving a sound of crying and howling behind him.
Butler Lu looked at the ugly people in front of him, stamped his feet, trotted to catch up with Xiao Han who was walking in front, followed him and asked: "Master Marquis, don't you think about it carefully? What if..."
"Nothing in case!" Xiao Han interrupted Butler Lu impatiently and continued to walk forward with his head lowered. He did not stop until the crying behind him weakened.
Standing on the road, looking ahead and sighing deeply, Xiao Han said melancholy: "Old Lu, I haven't told you before. It's also because I really don't want to mention it again. In fact, all my "former" family members No longer in this world! Now, my family is only you! So no matter who comes here to recognize relatives in the future, they will be beaten with sticks immediately! No need to show mercy!"
After that, Xiao Han patted Butler Lu on the shoulder and continued to walk forward. The not tall figure looked even more bleak now. The fool was leading the donkey cart behind him, smiling stupidly at Butler Lu and cupping his hands, and chased forward.
"Hey, who in the world of life is not troubled..." Butler Lu stood there and looked at Xiao Han's back. He sighed for a long time and turned around to walk towards the archway.
This may be the first time he has seen Xiao Han so sad. This kind of sadness is different from the past. It is exposed on the outside and goes deep into the bone marrow!
Perhaps to outsiders, the Marquis may appear to be a high-ranking official, well-paid, and carefree, but who can understand the loneliness in his heart?
The man who fell down crying under the archway, Butler Lu, finally let them go without asking for compensation or letting them go to the army. They just let the people in the fief drive them out violently. Butler Lu knew that the Marquis was a good person at heart, but he was just in a bad mood today.
Walking across the slope, you can see the eaves of a roof protruding from the edge of a small tree that has just taken out its young leaves in the distance. The houses with blue bricks and red tiles are connected one by one, with a spacious and flat cement road in the middle leading straight into the distance.
This is Xiao Han's fiefdom! It was also the strangest fiefdom in the Tang Dynasty!
Here, there are no urchins chasing and fighting in the streets. At most, there are babbling children curiously understanding the world under the care of adults.
There are no idle men basking in the sun in the corner here. Perhaps there are only a few old men who have just returned from working in the fields chatting with each other about this year's harvest and next year's life.
Here, there is no fear or uneasiness, only tranquility and nature. Every time he walks by here, Xiao Han always wants to shout proudly: This is my fiefdom!
A beautiful girl walked by on the street, her clear eyes were looking forward to her, shining like spring flowers, but her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if she was deeply worried.
Behind her, a young boy was following her like a follower, raising his head and begging her for something.
"Sister Ziyi, just let me go with you! I know Chang'an very well! I can take you wherever you want to go!"
"no!"
"Why? Why can't it work?"
"There's no reason, it just doesn't work!"
"Sister, why are you so stubborn? Didn't that person named Xin say that? Businessmen should seize every opportunity that is beneficial to themselves and be good at using the power of others to achieve their goals!"
Hearing this, Ziyi suddenly stopped and looked back at Li Shentong, who was a little confused. At this moment, the soft and frail Zi Yi felt an inexplicable feeling of strength!
"This is because Xinpeng is a pure businessman, but we are not!" Ziyi said word by word!
"If you're not a businessman, why should you open a shop?" Li Shentong retreated steadily under Zi Yi's gaze. He could only mutter unhappily, wringing his hands and walking forward. However, before taking two steps, he suddenly found a familiar figure not far away smiling at him.
"Brother Xiao!"
"Brother Xiao!"
Two shouts of surprise sounded almost at the same time. Li Shentong rubbed his head and looked at Zi Yi, who was blushing at the side. He rolled his eyes and his heart suddenly became bright...
"Ziyi, magical power! Why are you here?" Xiao Han asked in surprise. The tranquility along the way just now calmed down the resentment in Xiao Han's heart. At this time, seeing his old friend again, he felt only joy in his heart.
Zi Yi's face was slightly red, and he lowered his head and bowed to Xiao Han and said, "I have met the Marquis, and I sincerely welcome the Marquis back home from the war!"
"Li Shentong welcomes Lord Xiaohou back from a hundred battles!" Seeing Ziyi salute, Li Shentong had to hold his neck and roar, and then reluctantly held his hand. Without waiting for Xiao Han to return the favor, he jumped up to Xiao Han and started groping for him!
Xiao Han couldn't bear the itch, so he slapped Li Shentong's paw away and said angrily to him: "You are crazy! What are you touching?"
"What is neurosis?" Li Shentong was a little confused, but he quickly said angrily: "What are you yelling for? I'm not here to see if you are injured or not! I treat your kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs!"
After being scolded by the little guy, Xiao Han's mood became better and better. He liked this feeling of being unpretentious, rather than being so polite that he would have to argue for a long time about who would take the first step.
Stretching out his arms to compare with Li Shentong and Ziyi, Xiao Han said proudly: "No injuries! Not even the oily skin was broken. Not only was he unscathed, but he made two mountains and a lot of money. How about it! I'm satisfied. Bar!"
"Tch! What are you satisfied with? It's not my heart that hurts..."
Li Shentong rolled his eyes, rubbed his nose and looked like he wanted to say something else, but Ziyi grabbed his neck and pulled him back!
Holding Li Shentong tightly, Ziyi asked Xiao Han expectantly: "Master Marquis, do you want to go out this time when you come back?"
Xiao Han sighed and said: "Yes, I just came back for a visit this time, and I will go out again soon."
"Oh..." Ziyi was a little disappointed, but he quickly regained his composure and said to Xiao Han: "Master Marquis has been tired all the way. Go home and have a rest. I will inform the family to hold a banquet..."
After saying that, Ziyi dragged the dancing Li Shen and ran towards the Hou Mansion courtyard, leaving Xiao Han and Lengzi looking at each other. When did Zi Yi take charge of hosting a banquet? Isn't this what Butler Lu has always done?
Ziyi left, but everyone else came out. Li Shentong shouted so loud just now that they had already heard it. Just seeing Ziyi, everyone was too embarrassed to come out and disturb her. It doesn't matter now. They have to come out to greet the master after he returns from the war.
There were too many people, and many dealers came after hearing the news. I don’t know how many gifts he had to pay this time, but Xiao Han felt like his waist was about to break before he finally arrived at the Hou Mansion.
Climbing up the steps, I thought I could finally rest, but I didn't expect that as soon as I entered the door, a canopy of water-stained pine and cypress branches hit me!
"Ah! What are you doing? It's cold!" How could Xiao Han be prepared? I was showered all over by the cold water brought up by the branches. He shuddered fiercely, and then he saw Zhang Qiang holding a branch and laughing at him.
"You're back! Brother!" Throwing the unlucky pine and cypress branches on the ground, Zhang Qiang came over and gave Xiao Han a big hug before he could react! After they separated, Zhang Qiang patted Xiao Han's shoulder hard and laughed: "Thank you for your hard work! Go take a shower first! Let's have a big celebration!"
Xiao Han didn't fully react until now. He looked at Zhang Qiang stupidly and asked, "What are you taking a bath for? I'm clean!"
"Hey..." Zhang Qiang curled his lips in displeasure and pushed Xiao Han into the house like a child. As he walked, he said: "I know you are clean, but people who come home from the army must take a shower! Hurry up, there is so much nonsense. !”
