"Hey, fat man, come in! Mr. Marquis happens to be free."
Just as the little boy pursed his lips tightly and rolled his eyes wildly, Xiaodong's voice came from the Yamen behind him.
"Okay~"
The fat man jumped up when he heard the sound, and his round body bounced up from the ground like a rubber ball!
Then, after he stood firm, he first grinned and cupped his hands to Xiao Donggong, then picked up the little boy and hurriedly walked into the Yamen.
Pass through the main hall and enter the backyard.
This place is still as simple as the beginning, and it seems that nothing has been changed specifically because of the temporary residence of a prince.
"Master Marquis lives here? Why is it worse than my previous home?"
The little boy following closely behind the fat man had been secretly looking at everything around him. When he saw the dilapidated house and the mottled painted window frames, he couldn't help curling his lips and muttering in a low voice.
"Huh? What did you say?" The fat man walking in front could only vaguely hear the boy's voice drifting over, but didn't hear clearly what he said, so he turned around and asked strangely.
"No...nothing!" When the little boy saw this, he quickly put on a harmless smile to show that he didn't say anything.
"Nothing?" The fat man gave the little boy a strange look, but he was not a careful person, so he quickly threw the question out of the window and continued to follow Xiaodong forward.
"We're here, Lord Marquis is inside."
The courtyard in the back hall of the Yamen was very small, and in just a few steps, Xiaodong led the two of them to the door of a main room.
After waiting here, Xiaodong turned around and whispered instructions to the fat man, then stepped forward and knocked on the door a few times.
"come in!"
Soon, Xiao Han's clear voice came from the room, but to Fatty's ears, there seemed to be something hidden under this clear voice. A hint of fatigue.
"Squeak..."
Before the fat man could think about it further, Xiaodong, who heard the instructions, had already opened the door and motioned for the fat man and the little boy to go in with his eyes.
When the fat man saw this, he put aside his doubts and quietly thanked Xiaodong, then carefully led the little boy into the house.
This room is huge!
This is the first feeling the little boy feels when he enters the house!
This room is empty!
This was the second discovery the little boy made when he entered the house.
It is different from ordinary people who are willing to place some vases, screens, bookshelf partitions, and hang famous calligraphy and paintings on the walls to make it arty.
Apart from a few ordinary tables and chairs, all that was left in this room was a pile of papers.
"Here comes the fat man?"
While the little boy was still looking around, the clear voice sounded again, startling the suspicious little boy on the spot.
When he came to his senses and looked for the sound out of habit, he found that among the old papers about the case, a young man who was not too old, could even be said to be very young, was looking up at them with a smile.
.
"Master Hou!" The fat man was obviously a little excited when he saw Xiao Han. His big mouth almost reached his ears. He was silly and happy for a while before he realized what he was doing. He quickly knelt down on one knee and solemnly gave Xiao Han a military salute.
"Get up, we are all brothers, no need to be polite."
After rubbing his swollen head, Xiao Han stood up from behind the desk, first told the fat man to get up, and then picked up the oil lamp on the desk and used it.
It shined brighter, and then he began to look at the little boy next to the fat man.
I have to say that the little boy still looks very good. Although the clothes on his body are a bit shabby and don't fit well, it can't hide the special aura of the little boy, especially his bright eyes.
, it’s even more difficult to forget once you see it.
"What's your name?" Xiao Han looked at the little boy up and down and asked with a smile.
"Me?" When the little boy heard this, he subconsciously pointed to his nose and asked.
Just now, when Xiao Han was looking at himself, he was also looking at the other person.
However, compared with the imaginary Marquis who is solemn, solemn, and calm in his own power, the other person in reality is more like the brother next door. .??.
Not to mention the general who is full of murderous intent, even a similar swordsman and penman in the yamen looks more official than him.
"Ahem...you can answer whatever the Marquis asks!"
Seeing the boy pointing blankly at him and not replying for a while, the fat man standing beside him felt anxious and quickly reached out his hand and slapped him on the head again.
"Ouch, don't shoot. If you try again, you'll be stupid!"
Perhaps it was because Xiao Han's appearance did not look like the legendary Marquis whose words could determine success or failure. The little boy who was hit on the head complained habitually, then opened his eyes wide and said to Xiao Han:
"I, my name is King Luo Bin!"
"King Luo Bin? Your name is King Luo Bin?"
Somehow, the fat man who was secretly looking at Xiao Han suddenly discovered that after Master Hou heard the name, his body trembled visibly, and his originally gentle eyes began to become wandering, and he seemed to be trapped.
Inexplicable memories.
"Is it possible that the Marquis has seen this little boy? "
The fat man who noticed something was wrong with Xiao Han thought suspiciously, but soon he put this ridiculous idea behind him.
Because in his spare time before, he had also carefully inquired about the little boy's origins.
After all, in this era of extremely low education per capita, a child who can read, write, arithmetic and write poems among refugees is definitely more strange than a peacock among hens!
At that time, according to what the little boy said.
Their ancestral home is Yiwu, Wuzhou. Because his father worked as a county magistrate for Bochang, Qingzhou, he moved to Shandong with his mother since he was a child.
He also learned the skills of reading, literacy, arithmetic and writing poetry from his father and husband.
Speaking of which, it's a little strange.
Because logically speaking, although Qipin County Magistrate may not sound big, but if he has to support a family, there is still no problem at all!
Even if this official is not corrupt, his life will be better than that of most ordinary people based only on the salary given to him by the court.
In fact, according to the little boy's recollections, their family's life was really good at the beginning, but the problem was that his father's character was too rigid!
He can't stand anything that oppresses good people and is unreasonable!
In the beginning, in order to please the boy's father, the local official, the local landlords and wealthy squires deliberately restrained the children of the clan and prevented them from running rampant in the countryside as before.
However, as the saying goes, a country is easy to change, but a person’s nature is hard to change!
It's okay to let those dandy boys endure it for a day or two, but if you keep letting them endure it like this, how can they possibly endure it?!
(As for King Luo Bin’s background and poverty, Coke did not make nonsense. This is indeed recorded in the history books.)
