In the blink of an eye, Xiao Han has been back to Beijing for more than half a month, and Xue Pan and others who took the overland route from Luoyang also officially returned to Chang'an a few days ago.
Regarding Xiao Han's return, it seems that it did not cause any disturbance among the people of Chang'an. The only thing that made the people of Chang'an talk about it was the sudden gossip about him and Jing Wang Li Yuanjing.
For example, today on the streets of Chang'an, a certain good-hearted person was bragging to his neighbors with a longing face: "Did you hear the sound of horse hooves that night? Let me tell you, those are Li Yuanjing, the King of Jing, and Xiao Han, the Marquis of Sanyuan County.
Being jealous because of a beautiful Orchid!"
"Tch, jealousy has nothing to do with the sound of the horse's hooves? Could it be that the horse is jealous too?" Someone nearby burst into laughter, and the face of the person speaking turned dark!
"Why are you so anxious? Why did you interrupt me after I finished speaking?! These two people fought over Hu Ji in Pingkangfang! At that time, King Jing took advantage of the large number of people and kidnapped Hu Ji back to the palace.
Xiao Hou was naturally unwilling to suffer a loss, so he followed closely and led his men to fight all the way to the palace! I heard that the two of them fought so fiercely that even the emperor couldn't adjust it himself. They finally reached the palace, and the Supreme Emperor came forward to force the fight.
Suppressed this matter! So the sound of horse hooves was caused by them going back and forth, do you understand?"
"Ming, I understand..." The people who had laughed just now couldn't laugh anymore. They all lowered their heads in embarrassment, while the people who didn't laugh also had faces full of fascination:
"Just for a Hu Ji, Xiao Hou turned out to be so tough? What happened next? How was this matter handled?"
"Then?" The person who spoke smiled contemptuously, looked at the neighbors who had their heads lowered, and asked, "What do you think will happen?"
"Me? I think Xiao Hou must have suffered a loss! Hum, the emperor, the emperor, and the princes are all one family, how can we let an outsider like him take advantage?" A tall, thin man raised his head and replied hesitantly.
.
Another young man heard this and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, yes! Definitely! How can there be any reason for this elbow to be turned outward?"
The last man snorted twice and said: "Hmph! If you ask me, this Xiao Hou is also a coward! I heard before that he is a lecherous ghost, especially shameless. I haven't seen him for a year now, so grab it.
The women have actually been snatched into the hands of the royal family, how can they feel as good as him now?!"
What these people said almost represented the views of all the neighbors. The surrounding neighbors immediately started talking, making a buzzing sound like mosquitoes!
However, here, only the person who spoke at the beginning showed a contemptuous smile.
He stood aside quietly with his arms folded, and waited until the others had finished talking. Then he stretched out a finger and waved it gently, saying disdainfully: "You all guessed wrong! I'm not afraid to tell you that King Jing Li Yuanjing did this for this."
However, the Supreme Emperor personally ordered him to be imprisoned for three years! He was not allowed to go there, he could only stay at home and raise pigs! On the contrary, Xiao Hou seemed to have nothing to do, and he would go back with Hu Ji in his arms.
Home!"
"ah???"
Hearing this unexpected answer, everyone around them took a breath and looked at the speaker in disbelief, thinking:
"Who is this Xiaohou? He can't even get a favor from the prince under his command!"
"That Hu Ji is so beautiful that even a prince or a marquis would do something for her!"
————
They say good things don’t go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles!
Various versions about Xiao Han, Li Yuanjing and Hu Ji spread like wildfire in Chang'an.
For a time, in addition to being concerned about why Xiao Han was able to impress the prince in front of the emperor, many melon-eaters also secretly had a favorite activity, which was to go to the street to see Orchid, especially the good-looking Orchid.
Of course, there are also some wealthy and leisure young masters who, relying on their family background and status, want to go to Sanyuan County to see for themselves the beauty who can make the marquis and princes jealous.
But there is no doubt that if they hadn't entered Zhuangzi, they would have been chased by a group of vicious dogs all over the world.
Or maybe he had just entered the village, and before he could say "How are you, owner of the village?", a few men suddenly appeared and carried him away from the village like a chicken.
A group of poor young men got up dejectedly. In addition to yelling at Xiaojiazhuangzi, they could only return to Chang'an angrily and go to Pingkangfang to find a Hu Ji with a bulging front and back to vent their anger!
When my back was sore and my feet were weak, I slowly crawled home.
These evil winds that recently occurred in Chang'an City have not yet reached Xiaojiazhuangzi in Sanyuan County.
In this always quiet village, after a year, they finally welcomed the host and hostess back together!
Excitedly, they watched the village owner and his wife return to the Marquis Mansion that stood in the center of the village. At this moment, all the Xiao family farmers felt as if their gloom had dissipated!
If the Xiao family village is compared to a giant, then the owner and his wife are undoubtedly the soul of this giant!
During their absence, Zhuangzi continued to operate as usual, but everyone could feel that something was missing here! Even the most naughty and mischievous children did not have the energy of the past.
Well now! The owner of the village is finally back! This giant is finally full of energy again!
"May I ask, Mr. Hou, will you leave this time when you come back?"
Just a few days after Xiao Han and Xue Pan returned home, the oldest man in Zhuangzi was elected and tremblingly went to the Hou Mansion to question Xiao Han face to face.
Xiao Han welcomed the old man into the living room, smiled and shook his head at him and said, "I won't leave for now!"
Hearing this, the old man was relieved, and he opened his mouth with few teeth and smiled: "Oh, that's good, that's good! Lord Hou is running around for the Tang Dynasty, so he should have a good rest! There are rumors outside, let's
It’s better to ignore it!”
"Yes, we don't need to pay attention to what people outside say!" Xiao Han looked at the smiling old man, and felt as if a string was plucked in his heart, and he was filled with emotion!
Sure enough, it is a golden nest and a silver nest, not as good as your own doghouse!
He has been out there this year, always plotting against others, and being plotted against everywhere! Only when he returns to Zhuangzi can he be relieved of all his burdens and truly relax.
After getting up and serving a cup of tea to the old man himself, Xiao Han looked at the sky outside the living room with emotion and said softly: "I'm worried about my husband. From today on, we will close the door and live our own lives! No one cares!"
"
The old man took the tea cup with both hands, smelled the tea carefully, and smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes: "Okay, okay, we don't lack anything in the village! It's better to close the door and pay less attention to those fools!"
