On the first day of February in the first year of Qianfeng, the sons of Erwu were beheaded in Tai'an, and the women and children were the houses of the slave Helan Min, and the emperor issued an edict to send the second brother of the Empress Wu Yuan Shuangliu to Zhenzhou; On the fourth day of the second month, Gaozong, who had recovered from a serious illness, came to Qufu to worship Confucius and give him the title of Taishi; On the ninth day of the first month of February, the emperor came to Bozhou, sacrificed to Lao Tzu, chased the emperor of Taishang Xuanyuan, and exempted the money and grain of the current year; On February 14, the emperor drove back to Beijing from Haozhou, the journey lasted more than a month, and on March 18 he arrived in Beijing, and the prince Li Hong led the people of Beijing to kneel in the suburbs of Beijing to greet him.

The spring of Jingshi arrives late, March is the beginning of the spring flowers, the green grass grows wildly, the trees sprout, the flowers are everywhere, it can be described as a group of vitality, but for Luo Bingwang, the grass in his backyard is too green, the flowers are too red, and even the warm sunshine is extraordinarily dazzling, there is no other, just because he is going to be dismissed again, in a bad mood, he is not so pleasing to the eye, if he is just alone, it is nothing, it is a big deal to go back to farming, The condition of the old mother in the partial family is getting worse day by day, and it is really impossible to lack medical treatment, and when he thinks of the coming doom, King Luo Bin's heart is sad and uncomfortable.

Dongtai is a bachelor, this official name is loud, in fact, it is just a mere eight-grade official, counting the materials, Lu rice, and giving fields, it is only three stones and half a meter per month, and the equivalent copper money is just six times, it is really not much, but even if such a small amount of Yu Lu is indispensable for King Luo Bin at this time, it is indispensable, and now, I am afraid that this Yu Lu will never be able to get it again, although King Luo Bin does not want to admit it, but it is inevitable that there is still some slight regret in his heart, maybe if he does not write that satirical poem, all this will not happen, However, as soon as he thought of the greedy behavior of his colleagues, the only bit of remorse in Luo Bingwang's heart was quickly overwhelmed by a thick indignation - if the husband is unfair, he should shout, how can he sit idly by!

"Master, someone sent an invitation card outside, saying that the master must go for a while, and ask the master to take a look."

Just when Luo Bingwang's mood was so agitated that he couldn't help himself, the old servant of the family walked in from outside, holding a big red invitation card in his hand, bowed to Luo Bingwang, who was sitting at the stone table in the backyard, and reported cautiously.

"Let's go back, just say that the old man is not feeling well, and he will make an appointment in the future."

Although Luo Bingwang's official position is humble, his reputation in the literary world is quite obvious, not only a group of poets often come to the banquet, but also from time to time there are people who do not know each other to visit, in this regard, Luo Bingwang has long been accustomed to it, but today is not in a good mood, how can there be any feasting thoughts, I didn't look at the invitation, just waved his hand, and casually refused the invitation.

"Master, the man put down the invitation and left, and when he left, he said that if the master saw the payment on the invitation, he would not refuse the invitation, you see this ......" Seeing that Luo Bingwang's face was not good-looking, the old servant obviously hesitated, but still did not leave, but cautiously explained it.

"Oh?" Luo Bingwang was in a very annoyed mood, but he was still curious by the old servant's words, and he didn't refuse, but spoke, stretched out his hand and took the invitation card in the old servant's hand, flipped it open, and browsed it quickly, and when his eyes fell on the payment, his face couldn't help but stiffen - Wang Sanlang, the payment on the invitation card was actually the young man who had reached out to Luo Bingwang when he was the most down, although it was just a friend at first sight, but Luo Bingwang couldn't forget the personable young man, this year, Luo Bingwang did not lack of Beijing teachers and friends to explore this person, in order to repay this favor, but no one knew the origin of this person, which made Luo Bingwang always have a feeling of having nowhere to repay the debt, but he never expected that this person would appear at such a time, which made Luo Bingwang really don't know whether to be excited or annoyed for a while.

"Mober, how much money is left at home?" After pondering for a moment, King Luo Bin raised his head, glanced at the old servant with a complicated expression, and asked hesitantly.

"Back to the master, I just bought medicine for the old lady yesterday, and now there is still a consistent half, I don't know what the master is going to do?" The old servant Mo Bo was in charge of the accounts of Luo's mansion, and he was very clear about the money and food at home, and this seemed to have the meaning of using money in the words of King Luo Bin, so he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly explained.

"You don't have to ask, you can wrap it all up, and go to the banquet with the old man in a while." As soon as he heard that there was only so much money left in his family, Luo Bingwang's face instantly darkened, but he didn't hesitate too much, and commanded in a calm voice.

"This ......, sir, the rice of last month is almost exhausted, if you don't leave some money to buy rice, then ......" The old servant was in a hurry when he heard that he was going to pack all the surplus money, and hurriedly said.

"Well, then it's good to bring it consistently." King Luo Bin shook his head helplessly, sighed, dropped his words, got up and went to the bedroom, the old servant saw this, he didn't dare to persuade again, and went to wrap the copper coin with a bitter face without mentioning it.

More than a year has passed, and the Hongyun Inn is still the same old look, even the shopkeeper has not changed, and he is still busy in the lobby, but Luo Bingwang, who came here again, is a little more lonely than at the beginning - although he was embarrassed at the beginning, he still has such a hope for the imperial examination, and the life can still go on after all, but this time, the fate of being dismissed from the official position has almost no change, and the hope for spontaneous combustion is gone, and the extra is troubles and depression.

"Yo, isn't this Mr. Luo? Distinguished guest, this morning the magpie kept calling, I said to have a good thing, dare to be on the arrival of Mr. Luo, hurry, hurry, you old please come in, if you need it, just command, the little one should serve your old ......" The little shopkeeper with a broken mouth had a good look in his eyes, and when Luo Bingwang stood at the door and sighed, he had already recognized Luo Bingwang, and ran out in a hurry, greeting Luo Bingwang with great enthusiasm.

"It's been more than a year, but the second brother is still so strong, and the business is still thriving?"

Luo Bingwang is a grateful person, the second little man of this shop did not help him less, Luo Bingwang always remembered in his heart, therefore, although he was in a bad mood at this time, Luo Bingwang still smiled and greeted him.

"Okay, okay, hehe, don't hide it from Mr. Luo, the small shop has just changed owners, this business, compared to the past, it is a little more prosperous, tsk, our owner said, the next year will be built, this inn will be expanded twice, the business, it is definitely better than now, the small ones can also be stained with some light, and the days will eventually have a hope, right? Oops, the small mouth is broken, as soon as I see Mr. Luo, I patronize and chatter, almost forgetting the owner's explanation, hurry up, please come with the little one, the owner is waiting for you in the backyard. After the shopkeeper pulled a lot, he suddenly remembered the explanation of the new shopkeeper, and he was a little confused, and hurriedly invited King Luo Bing into the backyard.

"The new owner? Little second brother, is the new owner you are talking about Wang Sanlang? Luo Bingwang was originally listening to the shopkeeper's nonsense with a smile, and suddenly heard that the new owner wanted to see him, and then remembered that Wang Sanlang's invitation card indicated that he would meet at the Hongyun Inn, but did not indicate the room number, so he became alert and hurriedly asked.

"Wang Sanlang? Which Wang Sanlang came, Mr. Luo is afraid that he has misunderstood, the new owner of the small shop is surnamed Deng, a single word sincere, he didn't come often in the past, hehe, now this shop, it's small in charge, it's strange to say, today the owner of the cocoa came to come, saying that he was going to meet here, and it was Mr. Luo who invited you, which can confuse the small ones...... "The shop junior didn't remember Wang Sanlang who had been to the inn for a long time, at this time, when he heard Luo Bingwang ask like this, he was stunned, scratched his head, and first looked at Luo Bingwang suspiciously, Then he smiled and explained a lot.

"Deng Cheng? Could it be his real name? Luo Bingwang didn't pay attention to the shopkeeper's endless nonsense, each head frowned slightly, and muttered suspiciously.

"What? What is the real name, Mr. Luo, what are you talking about, the more you listen to it, the more confused you become. The shopkeeper was talking happily, and when he heard Luo Bingwang's chatter, he couldn't help but stop talking nonsense and asked suspiciously.

"No, it's nothing, little second brother, I'll let you lead the way." Luo Bin Wang was anxious to determine Wang Sanlang's identity, and he was reluctant to get entangled with the shopkeeper, so he smiled and arched his hand and made a request directly.

"Okay, please be inside." Seeing that King Luo Bin said this, he could only force the words full of words, and made a gesture of "please" with a smile, leading the master and servant of King Luo Bin to the backyard, all the way through several courtyards, until the backyard, but as soon as he arrived at the door of the backyard, several plainclothes men flashed out from the side, stopped the shopkeeper, and only invited King Luo Bin to enter alone.

The behavior of this group of plainclothes men is really a bit inconsistent with hospitality, but Luo Bingwang, who is bent on identifying Wang Sanlang's identity, is also too lazy to care, after explaining a few words to the old servant, he stretched out his hand to take the small package in the old servant's hand, and marched into the backyard proudly, led by a big man to the door of a main room in the courtyard, and when the big man dodged the road, Luo Bingwang walked into the room with a calm face, and saw a young man in a prince's costume standing in the room with a smile, Luo Bin Wang was stunned.

"San Lang? Ah, no, you are, you are His Royal Highness King Zhou? ”

King Luo Bin has a good memory, although it has been more than a year, but he still recognized the young man's face at a glance Isn't it the mysterious Wang Sanlang, just look at the prince's clothes on his body, King Luo Bin is a little unsure - although King Luo Bin is also an official in the court, but after all, he is only a low-level official, not to mention that he has no qualifications to go to the court, that is, he has no qualifications to enter the palace, it is impossible to know the princes, but he still knows the age of the princes, this time Li Xian's figure is obviously not yet developed, and he immediately reacted, determined that the young man in front of him was Li Xian, the king of Zhou, but he was not completely sure.

"Xiao Wang is Li Xian, Mr. Luo, it's been more than a year, are you okay?" Li Xian came to find King Luo Bin this time because of something important, and he would no longer hide his true identity, so he nodded with a smile and greeted gently, but unexpectedly when he said this, King Luo Bin not only did not rush forward to salute, but took two steps back with an unhappy face......
