"Short Pavilion?" Xiao Han climbed out of the carriage and looked at it, feeling that compared to the short pavilion and the long pavilion, it was not short......

Behind Xiao Han's carriage was the frame of Steward Lu, at this time Steward Lu seemed to be a little wrong, his face was pale, his hands were holding the reins tightly, and his eyes seemed to be on fire!

Not only him, but also the stunned uncle next to him and the freshly baked master bookkeeper Lao Cao's faces were also ugly, and their gloomy faces made Xiao Lang, who had always jumped out, afraid to approach these people, so they could only drop out far behind.

The five-mile road, said that it is not far, said that it is not close, and it is also the work of the tea room, and it passed, and the city wall of Sanyuan County can be seen from a distance, and Xiaodong and the stunned man behind him don't know who to listen to, trotting to catch up with Xiao Han's carriage and let Xiao Han change into official clothes. There will definitely be someone in Mihara County to greet him in a while, and it's always bad to be in civilian clothes.

Xiao Han is an idiot in this area, but he follows the customs, whatever others say, he can do it, and there will be nothing wrong with following the crowd.

Last time in the court, Li Yuan allowed Xiao Han to wear a red robe, although it was just a set of clothes, but this was a symbol of honor, Xiao Han almost forgot about it, but Uncle Zizi They don't attach great importance to these, after all, the status of the main family is high, and the people around them will also follow the tide, don't you say, the prime minister's door is a seven-rank official......

Don't let Xiao Han ask, in fact, Xiao Han doesn't bother to ask about trivial things here......

As early as Chang'an, they found the best tailor to make the red robe, and today is also the first time Xiao Han wore a red robe.

Sanyuan County is actually not big, not as big as a county-level city in later generations, and compared with Chang'an, it is even smaller and pitiful.

The wood-clad iron gate is no more than three feet high, no more than ten meters wide, and there are many marks on it that are slashed and burned, which makes people feel shabby at a glance......

At this time, under the dilapidated city gate, a young official in a dark green court uniform was standing, looking at Xiao Han's convoy approaching with his hands behind his back, with a proud expression.

Half a body behind him, a middle-aged man with a somewhat bitter face and a light green dress stood there constantly wiping his sweat, and then behind him, there were some officials and idlers watching the excitement, which was very messy, but the parents of a county were here, and they didn't dare to make a noise, but they just stretched their necks curiously to look out.

Xiao Han's team did not walk slowly, and soon arrived in front of the city gate under the gaze of everyone, Uncle Zizi glanced at the people who greeted him at the city gate, raised his palm, and shouted softly: "Stop!" ”

"Appeal ......"

The auxiliaries riding in the front row all wrapped up the reins of their horses, and the whole team stopped in an orderly manner.

The young officer squinted his eyes at the heavily armored auxiliaries in front of him, at this time, the auxiliaries were no longer what they were when they first followed Xiao Han, they were all dressed in brand-new armor, riding sturdy horses under their crotches, coupled with a fierce temperament, which made people believe at a glance that this was a real team of elite soldiers!

The convoy stopped, but no one came out to speak, the air seemed to be a little frozen, the young official squinted and waited for a while, but after all, he didn't hold his breath, and took the lead in arching his hand towards the carriage behind the cavalry: "Xiaguan, Dou Jing, a member of the Ministry of Rites, has seen Marquis Xiao!" ”

Seeing this, the middle-aged man behind him hurriedly gave up his hand and said, "Xiaguan, the county order of Sanyuan County, Ma Zhiyuan has seen Master Hou......"

"In ancient times, there were ten miles to greet each other, but I didn't expect to see two adults greet each other in front ......of the door today, but it really annoyed us and waited."

Hou Ye didn't come out, only a cold sentence floated in, and the words were polite, but in the tone, everyone could hear a thick sarcasm, Dou Jing's already small eyes were even more squinted like poisonous snakes at the moment.

The person who spoke was Steward Lu, originally for him, the officials of the Ministry of Rites of the Six Grades were tantamount to life and death, but in the few days of the Hou Mansion, all the people who came and went were the court members of the Three Grades, and Li Shimin, who was at the princely level, was a frequent visitor.

Dou Jing saw that Steward Lu's words were tough, but his age seemed to be a little different from the legendary Xiao Han, so he hesitated, and after all, he didn't immediately retort, but just asked: "Your Excellency is Marquis Xiao?" ”

Steward Lu arched his hand casually and said, "The head of the family is changing clothes." ”

When Dou Jing heard this, it turned out that this person was just a subordinate! A subordinate dares to ridicule me like this, it's the opposite!!

Dou Jing almost exploded in anger, and immediately said angrily: "Drink!" A slave dares to bark indiscriminately, and if he commits a crime against a court official, is Marquis Xiao so lawless? Is this the etiquette of the Xiao family? ”

Steward Lu was still a little bookish in the end, and his face was red and purple because of this sentence at that time, and he couldn't speak for a while, and the veterans next to him looked at Dou Jing angrily.

In their eyes, the people in the Hou Mansion are their own people, and they can make fun of each other and even make trouble, but this is limited to their own people!

Now an outsider is actually scolding their butler to their face! This is a taboo, if it weren't for the fact that he was wearing an official uniform, these unruly auxiliaries would have stepped forward a long time ago!

Dou Jing was stared at by these veterans who came down from the battlefield and felt a little numb, unconsciously took a step back, and waited to stand still, Dou Jing suddenly felt like he was afraid of those people, which was embarrassing, and he quickly blushed and said with a stalk on his neck: "What?" Do you still dare to beat up court officials? ”

When a few auxiliary soldiers heard this, they looked at the countless eyes behind this person, and they really didn't dare to drop him, so they could only look back worriedly, hoping that Hou Ye would hurry over and shut up this bastard!

Dou Jing looked at the veteran in front of him with a look of scruples, and then he came to his senses again, jumped out and pointed at the veteran and was just about to speak, when he saw something flying towards the door in front of him......

"What's that?"

Dou Jing stood in place in a daze, and before he could figure out what this thing was, he heard a crisp sound of "pop...", and a biting apple flew out of the pile of people diagonally, and it happened to hit him in the face, and the power was so great that the official hat on his head was crooked to the side!

"Who?! Who would dare to hit me?! Dou Jing was almost stunned by this apple, and it took a long time to react, covering his face and screaming!

"Who just said that my family has no etiquette?"

An indescribably unpleasant voice came from behind the veterans, the voice was not loud, but it was extremely calm, and the atmosphere in front of the city gate that was originally tense suddenly relaxed.

The veterans made way to the side, and Xiao Han, who was dressed in a bright red robe, walked slowly under the arch guards of Xiaodong and the stunned son.

"Lord Hou......"

"Lord Hou......"

The stewards and veterans on both sides bowed to Xiao Han, Xiao Han waved his hand, and walked straight to Dou Jing, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, without making a sound, looking at him playfully.

Dou Jing covered his face, he was originally angry and wanted to open his mouth to scold, but looking at Xiao Han in front of him, he couldn't scold people, and he was there for a while, neither retreating nor entering.

Dou Jing and Xiao Han, in terms of position, the two are almost the same, and even Dou Jing's official position in the Ministry of Rites is much more noble than that of Xiao Han's Ministry of Industry.

However, in this, Xiao Han is a person with a knighthood, and with a knighthood, no matter how big his official position is, this identity is immediately much higher than him, just like when others call Xiao Han always call him the marquis, instead of calling him the master of weapons, or the master......... In the same way, Li Shimin's fief is where Gu Qin is located, so they all call him King of Qin, and the official position is no longer important in these people.

Time passed second by second, and a thin layer of sweat began to appear on Dou Jing's forehead, who was staring at Xiao Han, and his calm eyes began to drift a little.

Although Dou Jing was half a head taller than Xiao Han, in front of this young marquis, he actually had a feeling in his heart that he couldn't raise his head, after all, Dou Jing was still defeated, and bowed to Xiao Han first: "Xiaguan... Dou Jing, I've seen Hou Ye......"

The Tang Dynasty is heavy on martial arts and light on literature, and there is a martial marquis in front of him, saying this bitterly, Dou Jing felt as if he was suppressed, he never thought that a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, a person who only sat in a high position by virtue of "chance", could be so calm, but it made him feel a sense of powerlessness.

"Dou Jing?" Xiao Han looked at him, didn't mention what happened just now, his expression was flat and didn't look like a fifteen or sixteen young man, and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Back to Hou Ye, according to the etiquette system, I will help Hou Ye arrange the location of the Hou Mansion."

One sentence was suppressed, one sentence was suppressed, although Xiao Han did not have any expression, but a young man who was moody and invisible, made Dou Jing feel even more frightened, and now he began to regret taking this errand in the first place.

"Oh, the Ministry of Rites...... Your surname is Dou, are you related to Queen Dou? Xiao Han muttered a sentence in his mouth, and suddenly the words changed and interrogated Dou Jing's identity.

"It's not ......" Dou Jing was a little apprehensive when Xiao Han asked in his heart, how could he be arrogant at the beginning? But he wanted to have a relationship with Queen Dou in his heart, if he was a direct descendant of the Dou family, where could he still be pressed like a grandson here?

The Dou family, what a powerful family, from the Xia Dynasty, that is, the first dynasty in China, has been passed down to the present, no one can imagine how much heritage there is! This is a real behemoth, a real millennium Chinese!

"Oh......" Xiao Han obviously also has this thought, of course, the person who wants to come to the Dou family will not stoop down to be a small six-grade official, if it is a side line, Xiao Han does not have to give him face, after all, in this kind of big family, except for the direct line, other side people will not be more noble than a chicken in front of Li Shimin......

Ask about this person's identity, Xiao Han is a little strange, it stands to reason that the two of them have no enmity in the past, and they have no grievances recently, is this person funny in the head, and want to give him a dismount to eat?

"Since you are in the court, you must have heard of me, by the way, the imperial doctor who offended me for the first time, do you know?"

Xiao Han circled around Dou Jing twice, and inadvertently saw the jade pendant hanging from Dou Jing's waist, his eyes froze, and he suddenly stood still, and asked quite meaningfully.

Dou Jing suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing on his back, and his legs began to bend unconsciously: "I know ......"

"Know, it's easy to do!" Xiao Hanpi raised his hand and patted Dou Jing's shoulder with a smile, as if the elders cared about the juniors: "...... Since it's for me to do things, put away your official temper for me, do things honestly, and be a down-to-earth person! Get off the horse, you can't play with this thing, and I won't eat this set! ”

Dou Jing's mouth seemed to be full of bitterness: "Yes, Master Hou......"

After saying Dou Jing, Xiao Han turned to Ma Zhiyuan next to him: "What are you doing?" ”

Ma Zhiyuan was almost so frightened that his legs cramped, and he replied tremblingly: "Xiaguan, the county order of Sanyuan County, Ma... Ma Zhiyuan, I've seen Hou Ye ......"
