Coupled with the fright outside Chaifu's courtyard, he just wanted to go back to his warm bed!
Seeing that the concierge was still blocking the door stupidly, Xiao Han immediately cursed angrily: "Monkey, monkey, monkey, you are so big! Do you want to lock us out? Hurry up and open the door!"
"Ah? Oh!"
The concierge was scolded by Xiao Han. At this time, he finally realized what he was doing and jumped up to open the door!
After all, when the head of the family returns home, he can't just go through the side door like him.
However, Xiao Han didn't care about these old rules at all.
The concierge stepped out of the way, and he didn't bother to wait any longer, so he followed him in through the side door.
Of course, when he walked in, he didn't forget to take out two small gold leaves on his body and hand them to Xiaodong: "It's not easy for him to send us all the way back. Give this to him! Consider it as a reward for him."
"
"Here!"
Upon hearing this, Xiaodong agreed, reached out to take the gold leaf, turned around and walked towards Lao Wang at the bottom of the steps.
Lao Wang, who originally planned to just watch people enter the house and then return, suddenly heard Xiao Han's words and looked at the yellow and orange gold leaves in Xiaodong's hands. His eyes immediately straightened, and he couldn't help but swallow.
A big mouthful of saliva.
Although gold was not a popular currency in the Tang Dynasty, this hard currency of all dynasties could be exchanged for many popular currencies...
At least Lao Wang knew that these two small pieces alone were enough to pay for more than two months of hard night patrol!
Your Majesty gave it to me and I dare not refuse it!
The status gap between Lao Wang and Xiao Han is really too big! There is no status or conditions to be polite with them!
Xiao Han gave him money. At best, it was a polite corporal; at worst, it was just a reward! If Lao Wang refused, it would be a refutation of face!
So when Xiaodong brought the gold leaf to Lao Wang, he just hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take the gold leaf, and then gave a long salute to the figure that had disappeared through the door.
Instead of looking at Lao Wang who was moved to tears, Xiao Han dragged his steps back to his bedroom.
It was really hard for him after all the hard work today! At this point, he couldn't even wait to take a shower, so he fell into his warm bed. After a while, he started snoring.
It stands to reason that Xiao Han has slept all day and night! But why is he still so sleepy? Is it possible that sleeping can become addictive?
The huge Xiao Mansion returned to silence as Xiao Han and others fell asleep, and there was no more waves.
However, in Chai Mansion, which they had finally escaped from after all the hard work, there was still a room with candles brightly lit.
Moreover, the mysterious man who had threatened Lao Wang with a knife just now suddenly appeared in the house.
I saw that at this time, he was completely without the cold-blooded domineering attitude when facing Lao Wang. Instead, he was kneeling on one knee, respectfully clasping his fists and reporting to Chai Shao and Princess Pingyang: "Master, Madam! My subordinates saw with their own eyes that Xiao Hou was safe.
Home!"
"Um!"
Princess Pingyang did not fall asleep at this time, but sat at a table in the middle of the room. She nodded to the mysterious man with a smile and said: "I'm sorry to trouble you, Sanbao! Get up quickly. Didn't I tell you that you are no longer a servant? Why?"
Do you still want to kneel down?"
The man who was called Sanbao heard what Princess Pingyang said, shook his head and said solemnly: "Madam, Ma Sanbao has made an oath since he was not abandoned by the master's family and was taken into the house and given a mouthful of food! He has made an oath to serve the master in this life.
Family! There will never be a day of regrets! So no matter when and where, I will be the slave of the Chai family!"
"But..." Princess Pingyang frowned slightly when she heard this, but she saw Chai Shao, who was reading the newspaper on the other side of the table, put down the paper in his hand and burst into laughter:
"Pingyang! Sanbao has such a temper, you don't need to persuade him! I helped him get rid of his lowly status a long time ago, and he also became a general with you, but he doesn't just stay in the house and eat and drink for free?! Look, hurry up now
I can’t even drive him away!”
"What nonsense are you talking about? Sanbao is so loyal and sincere! How come you don't have any good words to say?"
When Princess Pingyang heard this, she couldn't help but give Chai Shao a rollicking look. People like Sanbao can't be found even with a lantern! How can you slander him like this?
However, she didn't know that Chai Shao and San Bao grew up almost at the same time! The relationship between the two of them, just like Xiao Han and Xiaodong, had long surpassed the relationship between master and servant! Even better than that between master and servant.
Brothers need to be closer!
Otherwise, when the world was in chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he would not have been safely placed by Chai Shao beside Pingyang to protect her Zhou Quan on Chai Shao's behalf!
Speaking of this, one thing must be mentioned: Princess Pingyang was able to mobilize tens of thousands of people in just a few months, and Ma Sanbao also contributed the most! Otherwise, Princess Pingyang alone would never have been able to accomplish this feat.
What a feat!
Xiao Han just didn't know about this. If he had known about it, he would have beat his chest and said: "Li Yuan's family is so fierce and inhumane! His son! His daughter! His son-in-law! His grandmother can be called an outstanding person! Even his daughter's servants can...
Becoming a general! Will other rebel kings survive?"
"Okay, okay, my lady is right!"
Time turned back to the present, and when he saw Princess Pingyang looking a little unhappy, Chai Shao immediately changed his tune and at the same time, he did not forget to give Ma Sanbao a wink.
The latter understood, cupped his hands, stood up and left.
"Madam, how are you? Do you feel better?"
When Ma Sanbao left, Chai Shao, who had always been forthright in front of others, suddenly turned into a soft guy.
I smiled and poured a cup of tea for Princess Pingyang, and my eyes glanced at her belly from time to time.
Princess Pingyang couldn't stand Chai Shao's behavior. She felt goosebumps all over her body. She quickly moved to one side, glared at him again, and then said:
"Be serious, let's get down to business now! Aren't you afraid that Xiao Hou will feel uncomfortable if you treat him like this?"
Chai Shao had just found himself in trouble. He looked at Princess Pingyang with a rather resentful look and said:
"Oh, don't worry about this! You haven't dealt with him before, so you don't know this kid's temper! He is not only a stubborn donkey who keeps going backwards, but also a guy with a delicate heart! Don't believe it,
Just wait and see tomorrow, he will definitely leave Chang'an in a flash! He won't even look back!"
"fair enough……"
Hearing this, Princess Pingyang sighed softly, her eyes also filled with confusion.
There are many things that only those at the center can see clearly. For example, the fight between the prince and the King of Qin is not as simple as Xiao Han thought.
After all, this is not a fight for a piece of territory! It is not a fight for an item. What they are fighting for is the entire world!
At this time, even if the two of them want to withdraw, it is absolutely impossible! Because they represent the interests of too many people!
Even if they don't fight, those who have interests tied to them will push them to fight and seize it!
The current Princess Pingyang suddenly wants to go back to the past, a time when there was no throne, a father was kind and a son was filial, and brothers and sisters were respectful.
But, I can never go back.
(In the Tang Dynasty, Ma Sanbao had his own person. He was a slave of the Chai family in the early days, and later followed Princess Pingyang in the east and west campaigns, and became a general! He eventually died on the battlefield, and Li Shimin also overthrew the dynasty. Similar to Ma Sanbao in the Ming Dynasty (
It is said that Ma Sanbao is not the same person.)
