In a private house outside the palace, He Xiu took the little fat man's hand and walked in slowly. He was surrounded by palace guards. Behind them were two attendants from the Huangmen. Their duties were Keep an eye on the prince and He Xiu to make sure that these two people don't mess around. Of course, if He Xiu gets angry, they can't stop him. At most, they can go to the palace to report to the emperor.
Other than that, they are of no use.
Looking at the tall mulberry tree at the gate of the courtyard, the little fat man was a little excited and shouted: "Yeah, can I go to that tree?" He Xiu laughed, and the faces of the two Huangmen behind him changed drastically. He looked at He Xiu hurriedly and shook his head. He Xiu would not pay attention to them and said: "Go ahead, a man acts like a man, why hesitate?!"
The little guy happily ran to play. The little yellow door behind him followed him nervously, for fear that the prince would hurt him. This courtyard was a gift from the emperor. He Xiu was still unwilling to move here at first. The emperor After several requests, they also said that the Queen Mother and the Empress missed the prince very much, so they hoped that the prince could fulfill his filial piety and not live far away.
Filial piety is the most important thing, so He Xiu agreed to move and moved the mansion here. It was relatively quiet here because it was close to the imperial city and there were no people living around. The little fat man got tired from playing in the tree, so he came down and ran in After entering the study, He Xiu was annotating "Gongyang Chunqiu". The little fat man also read it with great interest, even though he didn't know any words yet.
The two lived here for a few more days. One day, a servant suddenly knocked on the door and came with a letter in hand. He Xiu's servant hurriedly came to report. He Xiu heard that it was a domestic slave who had heard of an attack. He was unhappy at first. He planned to meet him, but he heard from his servant that there was a young child coming with him, so He Xiu just let them in.
The house slave led Ma Jun in, paid homage to He Xiu, and then handed the letter to He Xiu respectfully. The little fat man on the side looked at Ma Jun in front of him with some suspicion, and his eyes were a little surprised, and Ma Jun Jun Jun lowered his head and was polite and thoughtful. He Xiu read it carefully. It was written to him by Wen Renxi. It turned out that he was going to Jizhou to deal with the canal matter.
Ma Jun stayed at home alone. Wen Renxi was afraid that he would neglect his studies, so he asked He Xiu to teach him. He Xiu was a great scholar in the world, and his moral integrity was praised by the world, so Wen Renxi was relieved. He Xiu After reading the letter, Xiu raised his head, looked at Ma Jun, stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "Your master is busy in Jizhou, serving the country and the people. Before he comes back, you can live here."
"Thank you so much, Master He...Master...Master!" Ma Jun said with cupped hands.
"Hahaha, teacher...teacher...teacher?"
The little fat man on the side suddenly laughed and even opened his mouth to imitate. Ma Jun's face turned red with embarrassment, but he was speechless. He Xiu frowned and suddenly slapped the little fat man on the head with his hand. The little fat man muttered and raised his head. At first, He Xiu looked at He Xiu aggrievedly. He Xiu became furious and asked: "How do I teach you in daily life? Bullying the kind, poor and weak is what a man does?"
"I..." The little fat man had tears in his eyes and was speechless.
"If you dare to sneer at the three princes of the court and beat them up in the temple, I will think you are a man. But if you only dare to bully people who are weaker than you, I will be ashamed of you for the rest of my life!"
After he finished speaking, he sat directly on the table far away, holding a volume of books in his hands and started reading. He ignored the little fat man. The little fat man looked at him aggrievedly for a moment, then slowly walked to his side and whispered.
Said: "Hey, yeah, I was wrong, I will definitely not do this again in the future..."
He Xiu was still reading the book and ignored it.
"I made a vow that I would never do it again..."
The little fat man looked at He Xiu, who was still ignoring him, and became a little anxious.
After begging for a moment, he suddenly seemed to understand something. He looked at Ma Jun in the distance with some reluctance, saluted him and said, "You are rude, don't blame me!"
When Ma Jun saw him apologizing, he quickly saluted and said, "I don't dare!"
At this time, He Xiu just put down the book in his hand, picked up the little fat man with a smile, and said, "That's it!" The little fat man laughed happily. He Xiu pointed at Ma Jun and said, "In the past,
, I had some conflicts with his master, but this boy dared to scold me without any fear, you have to learn from him!"
Hearing this, the little fat man looked at Ma Jun in surprise, smiled and nodded.
He Xiu asked the two of them to rest for half a day and prepare to study again tomorrow.
The little fat man sat next to Ma Jun and asked questions. Ma Jun was not good at words, but he was also elegant and intelligent. The little fat man soon forgot the previous unpleasantness and started chatting with him very happily.
The fat man asked: "Will your master take you to play?"
"Won't."
"He Yeye is my master. He often takes me to play games. We go to Luoyang Market together. A few days ago, I even beat up a foolish woman!"
"kindness."
"Oh, by the way, do you have your own sword? Master He said that any woman without a sword is a fool!"
"without."
"Well, neither did you, nor did my father. I told him that day, and he beat me up hard. Look at my butt..." The little fat man said, taking off his clothes and giving it to me.
He looked at it, and Ma Jun nodded and said, "Does he...do he...beat him often?"
"No, just this time, I will never look for him again in the future. It's better for my mother, who loves me very much!"
Hearing what he said, Ma Jun was startled. He quickly covered his mouth and said to the little fat man: "Don't say anything nonsense about the mother-in-law's words, so as not to cause trouble for Mr. He..."
"Eunuch He? Hahaha..." The little fat man laughed again, stopped quickly and said, "Sorry, I didn't mean to."
"Hahaha..." Ma Jun thought for a moment and laughed involuntarily.
"But, why can't you say it like this? I have been calling my mother like this since I was a child..." The little fat man understood a little, and Ma Jun explained: "Only the queen's children can be called mother. If the others are like this,
, it would be a serious crime!”
The little fat man was stunned, nodded dully, smiled mischievously, and said: "Okay, I understand."
"Hey, you really stood up for Master that day and scolded He Yaye in front of him?" the little fat man asked with some envy.
"kindness."
"Wow, I think so too, but no one has ever dared to cause trouble for He Yeye. Otherwise, I would definitely kill him with one sword!" The little fat man muttered and said helplessly. Ma Jun said with a smile: "If it were the emperor,
Are you looking for trouble with Master He? What about you... and...?"
The little fat man touched his butt in fear, thought for a moment, shook his head, and said: "Absolutely not!" Ma Jun nodded aside and said: "The emperor's kindness must... certainly... certainly...
...Won't."
"Hey? Kindness?", the little fat man muttered and said: "He is not kind, he beats him whenever he wants. He just doesn't dare to hit He Yeye!" Ma Jun was startled again and covered his hands again.
He grabbed the little fat man's mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense, lest you suffer the disaster of destroying your family!"
"Destroy the family? Who can destroy my family?!!!"
