When Xiao Li opened the gate of the Lu Mansion, he also had a little adaptation to the temperature outside, stretched his waist and waved his fist, and suddenly his movements stopped, and there was a person standing outside the gate. This person is very thin, just drenched in the rain, I don't know how long Lu Dao has been standing at the door, Xiao Li thought he was a beggar, but he rubbed his eyes and found that the material on this person was really good. Although his clothes were soaked in the rain, and although his hem was covered with mud, it still could not hide the texture of the delicate silk itself.

The porter is a manual job, close the board and open the door, drive away the beggars, pull the stirrups for the master, ventilate the guests, get up early and go to bed late on weekdays, so the big family is mostly three or four people to watch a door, of course, the style is also a reason. Lu Song was originally low-key in the capital, and he would rather give the servants more money to work, and not be far from extravagance to form a posture of hugging from front to back, so he only hired two people to guard the door, because two people were enough. The concierge of Lu Bing's Dengzhou Lu Mansion is much more magnificent, with eight servants dedicated to guarding the door.

Of course, the porter is not only a physical work, but also a mental work, watching people put down dishes, seeing people talking about people, seeing people talking about ghosts, in short, to judge the identity of people at a glance. It's not that the dog looks down on people, and the official is busy with official business, so he can't see everyone when he sees each other, but if there is something important, he can't delay the business, and the lord is not there, it all depends on the judgment of the porter and the porter. Some people want to make the concierge pass, so there is a matter of sending money, so it is said that the concierge is an advantage or disadvantage, which is also the reason.

Since Lu Song became the assistant director of the Governor's Mansion, the Lu Mansion has been in the city. In addition, Lu Bingcheng later had a big feast, and the porter Xiao Li did not miss the oil and water. However, although Xiao Li is young, he has done a good job and has never gone wrong. But this man in the rain in front of him. Xiao Li was a little incomprehensible, he was dressed very well, but there was a sense of loss on his face, he was by no means the confident and proud appearance of the superior, and his thin appearance was not like the master's friends in the rivers and lakes.

In the rain, the man was like a water dog, and he was clothed and saddled. He was dressed so well, Xiao Li hesitated a little, and hurriedly shouted inside: "Liu Tou." ”

Liu Tou is another concierge. He was an old man in the Lu Mansion in the past, and he had been a domestic servant for the Lu family since the Xingwang Mansion, and he still followed Lu Song until now, although it was only a porter. But when he said a word, he also had to tremble among the people of the Lu Mansion. At this time, Lao Liu was sleeping in a daze. I didn't care when I heard the voice, my master mixed so well, where were there any distinguished guests to speak of, so I rolled over and fell asleep. Xiao Li shook his head, so he had to step forward and clasp his fists and say, "This gentleman, please go to the Guangliang Gate to rest, so as to avoid the rain." ”

The man didn't speak, but walked in silently, sighed and said, "Why haven't I seen you?" What about the old Zhang Tou? ”

Xiao Li was secretly happy in his heart, it seemed that he was polite. This person has been to Lu Mansion before, and if he knows that he is old and open, it means that he may be an old friend. The old friends who can be related to the Lu Mansion are either rich or expensive, but there are also many old officials who have been sanctioned by the imperial court, how can these people find one or two good clothes at home, could it be that these people come to the Lu Mansion to visit the old man or the eldest young master to do something? Then you have to ask carefully, don't ask if you want to say something wrong after you go in, it's hard to excuse the old man for no reason, and then you can be regarded as doing a blind thing.

Replying to this gentleman's words, Lao Zhangtou was unwell for a while ago and went home to recuperate. Dare to ask if Mr. is here to find my master or my eldest young master? Xiao Li asked.

As soon as the cold wind blew, the thin and short visitor couldn't help but sneeze, and immediately burst into tears, wiped his snot and rubbed it on his body and said, "Big young master? How many young masters do you have in your family? Oh, yes, yes, Lu Song also gave birth to a son and a daughter, and he really has a son when he is old. Got a son, hey. ”

Xiao Li is even more unclear, looking at the vulgar behavior, this person should not be high, but he knows such a specific situation of his own family, and he should be a few years younger than his eldest young master Lu Bing, but he called Lu Song's name, but he didn't know what was wrong Now sighing. If it's not really a rough man, it's a young master who is a heavy minister, and his seniority must not be small, rough man? Not like. Master? Not like that.

"Liu Tou, Liu Tou, hurry up, the guest is here, say hello, I'll go and say hello." Xiao Li said this because he hoped that Liu Tou would come out and take a look, Liu Tou was an old man of the Lu family, well-informed, if this person outside the door really had a background, Liu Tou should know.

Lao Liu reluctantly crawled out of the bed, muttering: "Who got up early in the morning, who came to visit, isn't it a ghost calling the door." ”

Although the voice was small, it was definitely heard outside the door, but it seemed that the person was not annoyed or angry, Xiao Li understood in his heart, this must be to find the master to do something, and he pretended to be so big just now, and he scared himself. If it was really an old friend's guest, first, he wouldn't have no umbrella, and second, he had to be anxious to hear Liu Tou's words. Only people who come to ask people to do things will be so comfortable and swallow their anger, for fear of affecting the smooth development of things.

Having said that, Xiao Li still said politely: "I'm sorry, I'd rather mess with a drunk than a sleeper, Liu Tou loves to talk nonsense and talk in his dreams when he is sleepy." "I was thinking about how to drive this person away, hey, it's really unlucky, this person is too demagoguery, he has deceived himself, Liu Tou will definitely say that he will be beaten when he sees it.

While speaking, Lao Liu had already opened the small wooden door of the gatehouse while wearing his clothes, and the cold wind blew and couldn't help but make Lao Liu, who had just come out of the bed, shiver. Lao Liu squinted at the visitor, but stopped talking, then squinted again, stretched his neck to look, and suddenly his eyes widened, and he fell to the ground with a "poof", and then his body trembled.

Xiao Li looked stupid, but the visitor didn't think so, as if it should be so, at this time he asked, "Is Lu Bing at home?" ”

"Yes, yes." Liu Tou said incoherently.

"Oh." The visitor walked in, Xiao Li hugged his fists and tried to stop the man, but was grabbed by Lao Liu's ankle, Xiao Li lowered his head and asked: "Liu Tou, what are you doing, the eldest young master is probably resting at this point, no matter how distinguished the guest is, he can't break in like this." ”

Lao Liu's hand was clutched, and it took a while before he spoke: "He can." He can go wherever he wants, and there is no place he can't go. ”

"Whoever that person is, let go of me. It all hurt me, who the hell is so good. Xiao Li said while shaking the ankle that was grabbed by Lao Liu.

"He is the Holy One today."

Xiao Li stopped shaking, stunned there, like a clay sculpture.

—————————————————————————————————————

Lu Bing is sleeping in the house, he shouldn't be on duty today, a few days ago, the queen was mourned, and the emperor went to the west corner tower. Therefore, the palace is heavily guarded, and all the brocade guards and guards on duty in the palace are all dressed and sleeping, and they are not allowed to go home and take turns on duty. Although Lu Bing's location is unique. But there is no specialization, today is finally free, and I go home to rest, this rainy day to sleep has a different mood. What's more, there are two beautiful girls in her arms. One is Yang Feiyan, who is pregnant. The other is Meng Xueqing, these two maids are a husband, which makes Lu Bing so unhappy.

Lu Bing is also a good fortune teller, and the two ladies are not only jealous, but also able to serve Lu Bing together, so that Lu Bing can enjoy the blessings of all people.

Lu Bing woke up very early, but when he heard the sound of rain falling from the eaves to the ground outside, it was quite hypnotic, so he was groggy and wanted to fall asleep. Just then, footsteps were heard outside the door. As I got closer and closer, it was clear that the person walking was a little weak. Walking and wheezing, there is no breath at all. But after a while, there was a knock on the door, and Lu Bing wondered who came to call him so early, so he asked, "Who." ”

Meng Xueqing woke up a little when she heard the voice, but turned over and fell asleep again. After all, Yang Feiyan is a person who practices martial arts, and when she heard the knock on the door and Lu Bing's question, she woke up, pushed Lu Bing and said, "Go and see, maybe there is something urgent." Besides, my sister sleeps, don't ask, I'll sleep for a while. Lu Bing touched Yang Feiyan's bulging belly and smiled, then pressed his belly and said, "Then Dad went to open the door." ”

"Not doing it right." Yang Feiyan said with a smile.

Lu Bing turned over, got out of bed, put on his clothes, walked out of the wing, came to the outhouse, walked to the door, opened the door, and said as he opened: "Why don't you answer the question, what is the matter?" ”

There was a person standing outside the door with a lost gaze and a soaked body, but this person Lu Bing was all too familiar, it was the current saint, Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi. Lu Bing's body was shocked, he didn't bow down to Zhu Houxi, but sighed and said, "You are here, come in and sit, my wife is sleeping, let's sit in the outhouse for a while." ”

"Yes." Zhu Houxi replied sullenly and walked into the house.

Lu Bing brought dry cloth and a new set of clothes, and sent someone to bring a stove, and the two of them roasted a fire outside. Lu Bing is tall, Zhu Houyu is a lot bigger in Lu Bing's clothes, and he looks a little funny, but no one can laugh, Zhu Houxi's eyes are full of sadness and the atmosphere in the room.

"How did you find it?" Lu Bing asked.

"I've been here a few times when you've been injured before, and I don't have that bad memory." Zhu Houxi choked up a little as he spoke.

"Don't be uncomfortable, everything has happened, and it's irreparable." Lu Bing said after handing Zhu Houxi a cup of hot tea.

Zhu Houxi's hand was cold, he took the teacup and took a sip, before he could say anything, two lines of tears crossed his cheeks, and he began to sobble for a long time before he said: "Why is God so unfair to me?" ”

"God is fair, it was your actions that caused it to happen." Lu Bing stretched out his hand to pat Zhu Houxi on the shoulder, they hadn't talked like brothers like this for a long time, Lu Bing's hand stopped in the air for a long time and still patted down, the broad palm was firm and warm, dry and with a trusting force. Zhu Houxi raised his eyes to look at Lu Bing and asked, "Brother Bing, what did I do wrong?" Hearing Brother Bing's name, Lu Bing's body shook.

"Even if you don't love her, you shouldn't do this. As I said, Heaven is fair. God made me almost die but found the love of my life, made me almost paralyzed, but let me learn the world's martial arts, let me be snubbed by my brother, resigned and went to Shandong, but opened up my own world in the shopping mall. Everything is balanced, there must be gains and losses, misfortunes and blessings rely on, and blessings and misfortunes lurk. Even if you are the Son of Heaven, it is the same. Lu Bing said.

"So where is my equilibrium? I'm always losing, but I'm never gaining. Zhu Houxi looked sideways at the window and said.

Lu Bing shook his head: "You get a lot, but you don't care about it." You've got a chance, but you've got less freedom. You've got the throne, and you're less idle. You have gained autocracy, but you have lost your loyal subjects. You are feared and suspicious, but you lack a caring brother. Now you have lost your child, and I, your brother, have returned. ”

"Brother Bing." Zhu Houxi's tears still couldn't stop flowing down, and he was speechless and could only call out the long-lost Brother Bing. (To be continued......)
