"This..." Butler Lu looked a little hesitant. People in the Tang Dynasty valued relatives very much! Although he also knew that most of these people came to have a relationship with a dragon or a phoenix, he couldn't guarantee that there would really be one or two relatives among them. If they were all driven out,
, which influenced the Marquis to recognize his ancestors and return to his clan, that would be a serious sin!
Seeing that Butler Lu was not moving, Xiao Han knew in his heart what he was thinking. Without further ado, he grabbed Butler Lu and climbed onto the donkey cart: "Why are you hesitating? Let's go! I'll go back with you! It's not good to lie to anyone.
How dare you lie to me! Do you really think that my three-year-old child is ignorant?"
Butler Lu was pulled by Xiao Han to clumsily climb onto the donkey cart. Only then did he realize something was wrong. He quickly pulled Xiao Han and asked: "Master Marquis, those people are not in a hurry! You are in the army now, do you need to ask for leave?"
Walk?"
Xiao Han patted the cart and gnashed his teeth and cursed: "Take a fucking leave! If I go back a little later, these people won't demolish my home? Damn Qianniuwei, why do they let everyone in!"
However, despite saying this, Xiao Han finally asked Xiaodong to go to Li Shimin to ask for leave. After Xiaodong rode away on a fast horse, Xiao Han couldn't wait any longer and drove the donkey cart straight to Sanyuan from the trail.
The horses' hooves are flying, and the donkey's hooves are galloping.
After being separated from the large army, the speed of the march has obviously increased a lot! As a donkey who likes to run, our Xiaowei has not run so smoothly for a long time. Now he is finally running in the spring field, running with spitting foam...
A group of horses surrounded by a gray donkey always looked so ostentatious, and there were already men playing tricks on the fields in spring. Seeing this, everyone stopped working and looked up into the distance.
Wild flowers were blooming and spring grass was fragrant. Facing the infinite spring scenery outside, Xiao Han had no intention of savoring it carefully. He kept urging the idiot to drive faster. In a while, they had already traveled forty or fifty miles.
I saw a familiar fiefdom ahead.
I haven't returned home for many days, but nothing has changed here. The wasteland is still barren, and a few hares can be seen flashing through the grass.
"There are still too few people!" Xiao Han, who was speeding by, couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the wasteland around him.
Along the way, he also heard Butler Lu talk about things in the fiefdom. Now the people here go to work in the industrial area when they are busy, and they go to reclaim wasteland in their free time. They are not idle every day and not much land is reclaimed.
Nowadays, Lao Cao and his waterwheels are no longer a rare thing. The tall waterwheels standing on the rivers use water power to continuously lift the water to high places, and then wind it up to the ground through connected bamboo pipes. The original wasteland has become
It has turned into fertile land, but even so, there are still not enough people to cultivate it.
After crossing the main road and continuing forward, the place we entered finally became a little different.
Near the center of the fiefdom, we began to see people in twos and threes cultivating land. Ridges of land were neatly arranged on both sides of the road, which was a feast for the eyes.
Lao Cao rode his horse ahead to guide Xiao Han. When the people working in the fields saw him like this, how could they not know that the Marquis at home was back?
For a moment, everyone who saw the convoy stopped and bowed to salute, no matter what they were doing. This was also a great sign of respect for the general who had returned from the expedition.
Now that he has returned home, Xiao Han can no longer sit in the car. If he walks by in a swaggering manner, he will inevitably be said to have eyes on his butt...
Instructing the idiot who was driving the car in front to slow down, Xiao Han Shi stood up and clasped his fists in return.
Xiao Han knew most of these people, and of course there were some unfamiliar faces. During his absence, the fiefdom had been expanding outwards.
While returning the courtesy along the way, before I knew it, I could already see the tall archway standing on the roadside. Under the archway, a lot of people were gathering. Everyone was looking forward to it, and during this period, there were other reasons.
It was crowded and some curse words were exchanged from time to time.
Looking up and seeing these people, the smile on Xiao Han's face slowly condensed, and he frowned. Xiao Han stood up straight and stood with his hands behind his back.
Speaking of which, although Xiao Han is not very old, he has been in a high position since he came to the Tang Dynasty. Coupled with his gorgeous clothes, he looks quite powerful at this time. There were some commotion in the distance just now.
In such a situation, I couldn't help but feel calm.
The donkey cart drove slowly to the foot of the archway. The men and women here seemed to want to rush forward and stage a drama of a wanderer returning home. However, under Xiao Han's slightly mocking expression, he backed down in the end, even feeling guilty.
I already lowered my head and didn't dare to look anymore.
"Haha, are these the ones who came to me to recognize their relatives?" Xiao Han laughed, as if he was asking Butler Lu, or these people in front of him.
As soon as Xiao Han opened his mouth, the crowd immediately became commotion. A middle-aged man with a kind-looking appearance suddenly squeezed out from the back and rushed towards Xiao Han. He staggered and trotted while saying excitedly: "Xiao Han, I am your uncle."
Xiao Shanwan! I hugged you when I was a child! Don’t you remember?"
The extremely excited middle-aged man had not yet run up to Xiao Han, but was suddenly stopped by the idiot!
Who cares about Dabai Erhuang, who has been instructed by Xiao Han for a long time? He only listens to the words of the Marquis! Since the Marquis said these people are liars! They are all here to take advantage of him, he cannot be polite!
The long horizontal sword was unsheathed and thrust in front of the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was so shocked that he couldn't even speak.
"You, you... bold slave! I am a relative of your master! You still dare to hurt me? Why don't you put down the knife!"
Xiao Han felt even more irritated when he saw this man's stern expression. He jumped off the carriage and waved his hands to this man as if to ward off flies: "Your name is Xiao Shan Wan? Why isn't it Xiao Wan Shan? Are you here to pretend to be an uncle? I deceived the prince into thinking that he is a man."
You don’t know what the crime is, do you?”
"What? Xiao Han, you, how can you talk to me like this! We are a family! You must have been lost for too long and have forgotten what happened when you were a child. It doesn't matter, I can help you remember it!"
The middle-aged man's face suddenly turned red, but he was still trying to defend himself, but his white knuckles revealed the tension in his heart at this time.
As soon as he heard this, he knew that this man was the master who would not shed tears even if he saw the coffin! Xiao Han didn't even bother to look at him, he walked straight past this man to the foot of the archway, looked at the group of people with different faces and said irritably
: "I was in a good mood today, and I wanted to play with you, but now looking at your faces makes me feel sick! I know why you came, and so do you!
So I won’t talk nonsense! The housekeeper will calculate your expenses during your time here, hand over the money to me one by one, and get out of Sanyuan County!
Oh, one thing I almost forgot is that it is not as simple as paying one penny for one penny! To make it easier for you to remember, I will charge you five times the price! Those who cannot pay for it happen to be short of men in the army. Since bandits can join the army,
Don’t leave either, just go join the army!”
As soon as Xiao Han said these unkind words, the expressions of everyone in front of him changed drastically. Several women sat on the ground and cried and howled! How could they have thought that Xiao Han would act so irrationally? Without even asking, they just
Sweep them into the team of liars, and they won’t even have time to use the words they prepared in the first place!
"Xiao Han, you heartless! Once you become an official, you won't care about your third aunt..."
"Xiaohanzi! When you were eating our food, you said you would support me for the rest of your life. Why have you turned into a white-eyed wolf now..."
Anyway, the broken jar was broken. Under the leadership of the first few people, most of the people started crying and howling!
In an instant, the seats of Xiao Han's seventh aunt and eighth aunt were all taken, so much so that even the granddaughter of grandma's cousin, fourth aunt, and neighbor who had not been taken over jumped out! The scene was once extremely chaotic!
Fortunately, none of these people dared to pretend to be Xiao Han's parents, otherwise Xiao Han would really kill someone!
