Wei Xiaobao of Lu Ding Ji

In the second year of Kangxi, March, early spring.

Before he knew it, Wei Xiaobao had let Lu Shuang, an unknown boy, spend nearly half a year, eight months, more than 200 days and nights by his side.It has been said that trust is born unconsciously.Wei Xiaobao held great hostility towards the person who said this.Yes, it is hostility.After a few early mornings, when he was able to stand silently in front of his bed as a young boy, he began to feel that he hated this famous saying.

"woke up?"

"what."

Seeing the black jade-colored pupils in front of him quietly looking at Wei Xiaobao, Wei Xiaobao has gone from being terrified at the beginning to being a little helpless now but letting himself go.He is always afraid that he will disappear out of thin air and stay in his room, even though he already has his own room.It can be seen that this teenager has received a good upbringing before.He can be a trustworthy retainer, a reliable bodyguard, or a ruthless assassin.

Wei Xiaobao thought about it calmly, his eyes were a little dazed.Too bad, he seems to be getting used to the days when the teenager is by his side.He seemed to... trust him a little bit.

"Little treasure?"

"Ah, it's okay, maybe I haven't woken up yet. My mind is a little bit stuck." It's not Wei Xiaobao's habit to keep danger by his side. Finally, Wei Xiaobao made up his mind.The night before, Wei Xiaobao took advantage of the middle of the night when Lu Shuang fell asleep, and with full power, he read through all the memories in the boy's mind in a gentle and imperceptible manner.As for why "gentle and imperceptible investigation" Wei Xiaobao himself didn't know why, anyway, he did it.

Originally, he thought he could fulfill a wish with this.Whether Lu Shuang will go or stay will be decided.However, the strange thing is that when he came to the teenager's consciousness, he was shocked to find that there was nothing, a blank, a complete blank.There are only a few fragmented words such as protection and Xiaobao.

Wei Xiaobao felt anxious like never before.In such a situation, a year ago, when he hadn't traveled through time, he might have secretly sighed and happily celebrated that he had finally met an opponent in the spiritual department, but in ancient times it was impossible to have such a master.The ability of the spiritual department not only depends on one's own talent, but also the cultivation and development of a large number of high-tech drugs acquired to reach the level of Lu Shuang.It is impossible for the ancient and backward medical technology to support this project.

Then, he thought of the second possibility.Lu Shuang lost his memory.However, who can come to "Wei Xiaobao" himself so calmly and unswervingly while losing his memory?Who exactly is Wei Xiaobao?What kind of existence could be more important than anything in his consciousness?

Thinking of this, Wei Xiaobao couldn't help but look at Lu Shuang again.The young man was only thirteen or fourteen years old, with a fair and handsome face. Seeing him look over, the lines of his usually expressionless face suddenly became extremely soft, and his whole person seemed to soften in an instant.The pink lips parted slightly and said: "Xiaobao." His body must be very important to him, right?It's a pity, I don't know if he is still so important in the boy's heart after the soul is changed.

Wei Xiaobao sighed silently.Then his inarticulateness, his expressionless face, his slight uneasiness and bewilderment can all be explained clearly.

From then on, Wei Xiaobao completely let go of his defenses.There is nothing more pitiful than such a boy.So he laughed uncharacteristically. "Ah. Lu Shuang."

The teenager was a little flattered.For the past few months, Wei Xiaobao had always been indifferent to him, coming and going as soon as he was called. Lu Shuang was not a fool, but he didn't know how to express it.Every time he sees Xiaobao and Aunt Wei's rude, simple but emotional way of interacting with each other is very awkward, as if there is a wall between him and them, they live inside, and he looks at them outside, it feels very bad, But he is not a person who is good at complaining, even if he wants to, he doesn't know how to say it, and he doesn't know how to say it.

"Xiaobao?" He hurried to Wei Xiaobao's side, although the person in front of him was a child who was only ten years old.But he wanted to rely on him, to trust him, and to protect him wholeheartedly.

He remembered that when he just woke up, his mind was blank, only the words "protect Xiaobao".The first time he saw the magnified and exquisite child that looked like a fairy boy, he was sure that he was his little treasure, and he was born to protect him.

When the child asked his name in a soft voice, he had a splitting headache and couldn't remember it.His hands and feet became cold all of a sudden.he does not know.In the panic, I had to make up a name, Lu Shuang.Shuang...he had an impression of the word, and when he said it, he felt as if something surged in his memory.

"I want to eat glutinous rice balls." Wei Xiaobao smiled at Mimi with his charming red phoenix eyes, leaning his limp body in his arms, and the high temperature baked Lu Shuang's rationality.

Lu Shuang was stunned for a moment, and then she was filled with joy.A pair of hands pinched her tightly beside her.He wanted to hug him, but he was afraid of hurting the soft child, and his heart was beating loudly, as if he had been cast by some spell.This is the first time, Wei Xiaobao is thinking of him acting like a baby.He is very happy, even though it is March in Yangchun, it is not a day for Lao Shizi to eat glutinous rice balls at all.But he still happily agreed. "good."

News came from the capital, and the verdict came down on the banker's case.When the news came, it happened that Lu Shuang held a white porcelain bowl in her fair hands and fed Wei Xiaobao glutinous rice balls.

Although it's only the end of March, it's long past the time to eat this, but it's a pity that I can't stop my father from wanting to eat it, and I can't stop him from having the obedient Lu Shuangjun beside him.So, knead the noodles, rub the glutinous rice balls, and start the pot.It took me a long time to fill it out, and put it into a white-glazed bowl. I don't know if it's because the porcelain is good or people are good-looking. The delicate white porcelain makes the slender fingers even more beautiful.However, when Aunt Wei ran to the back in a panic and shouted the news, Lu Shuang's hand shook violently in fright, and a bowl of glutinous rice balls was dedicated to the earth.

"Lu Shuang!" In recent years, Wei Xiaobao's career has become more and more outstanding, but his temperament is too arrogant, which makes people find it difficult to get close.His phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyebrows raised. "Why are your hands so unsteady?!" Just this one movement is a bit magnificent.

"Yes." Lu Shuang immediately turned around and filled a bowl from the pot, and brought it to him again. "Xiaobao, eat."

Wei Xiaobao nodded, then smiled with satisfaction: "What's going on?" This question was asked by Wei Chunhua.

Wei Chunhua, who rushed into the courtyard, was stunned for a moment by the question like Uncle Wei Xiaobao, and then swallowed all the words into her throat, and she remained silent for a long time with her mouth half open.After a while, he pointed at Wei Xiaobao's nose tremblingly and cursed: "You...you bastard..."

"Mother, what's the matter?" His eyes suddenly became fierce, and his aura suddenly dissipated, making him look more and more noble.

Wei Chunhua only felt more oppressed in her chest, took a long breath and silently recited the Bodhisattva Sutra several times before suppressing the evil fire, and said leisurely: "The whole family of the Zhuang family has been copied and executed."

Well, the glutinous rice balls are good. "Which banker?" Wei Xiaobao casually said as he wiped Lu Shuang's hand holding the handkerchief.He only had Zhang, Lu Shuang, and Wei Chunhua in his heart, and he didn't have the heart to remember the others as long as they didn't offend him.

"That dealer!" Wei Chunhua raised his voice. "I love their family."

This time it was Wei Xiaobao's turn to choke, "The butler? Didn't he die long ago?"

"..." Wei Chunhua's expression was a little pale. "It's broken..."

Wei Xiaobao frowned, this is not a good sign, there is something in the words. "What? What else are you doing?" He couldn't help but raise his voice defensively.I had praised her before that she would judge the situation and judge the situation, and she would call it quits as soon as she said it. Why does she feel soft-hearted when she hears that the whole family has been copied and cut?They are small people, not to mention the case of Zhuang's "History of Ming Dynasty" is famous in history, they can't stop anything at all.At most, he could make it easier for them to go, and personally send them away quickly and cleanly the night before, instead of being beheaded like a beast the next day.

"Uh……"

"Wei Chun Hua." Wei Xiaobao gritted his teeth.He could completely imagine the eager eyes behind his mother's hesitation, which represented endless troubles.

"Uh...he's the dealer's young master..."

He frowned, "What's wrong with the young master of the Zhuang family?" Wei Xiaobao searched in his memory with some doubts. "Why don't I remember that the dealer has a young master?" His memory has always been good, and he is sure that there is only one male in the dealer.

"You don't know the young master of the Zhuang family. He is a poor man. It is said that he was born with no muscles and bones, so he can only lie on the bed."

"...and then..." Wei Xiaobao could almost gnash his teeth.

"I know I shouldn't be in charge of this matter, but...he is so pitiful, he is so small, about the same age as you, Xiaobao...I am soft-hearted for a moment..."

"What? You reported it back?" Wei Xiaobao had a bad feeling.

"Yeah..." Wei Chunhua answered the words smoothly.

Wei Xiaobao was immediately angry at that moment, and after thinking about it for a moment, he wanted to laugh, "Mother, I never remembered that you were such a kind person."

"Oh, it's not that the little devil is so good-looking and old enough. I want to raise him for a month or two. When he grows up to be more beautiful, he will sell it to Yang's mother in Xiaoguanlou. I thought I picked it up. It's cheap, you think the son of the dealer, he must be raised with tender skin and tender flesh. At that time, the young lady of the dealer said that he didn't need money for nothing, so I happily took him back. Who knew he was a loser, a useless person who couldn't move. How to receive guests?!"

"what?!"

"Besides, the whole family is being copied and beheaded... If the court knows that we are harboring criminals, it will be over." Wei Chunhua was so frightened that the pink on his face was about to fall off. "Little Treasure...you have a lot of ideas, help my mother think about what to do."

"What can we do, harbor criminals from the imperial court, trade human beings privately... atonement and death penalty." Wei Xiaobao said coolly. "Who told you to be greedy for small things, you will suffer a lot."

"Ah?! I, I, I... can't I quit him..."

"It's already too late. The dealer is gone, why are you refunding? Besides, didn't you say that, the dealer also confiscated the money, didn't you? Then there is no written evidence, so why say he is the young master of the dealer? It's not a big deal, what's the kid's name?"

"...Er...Zhuang Ju, do you need to change your name?" As expected of a bustard, she immediately understood what he meant.

"No, there is nothing in Yangzhou that I don't know about. I don't even know that there is a young master named Zhuang Ju in the dealer's house. Who would know? Besides, those exiles who have been killed and exiled who know about it, no one will stab Louzi gone."

"Then he..."

"When did you buy him? How old is it?"

"Seven or eight months ago." Wei Chunhua wiped the corners of her eyes, and said tremblingly, her son was good at everything, and he did things in an orderly and clear manner, but his aura became more and more frightening. "About twelve years ago. Now it's about thirteen. I thought, if I can't do it, I'll be old." Small officials usually enter the court at the age of eleven or younger, and sell themselves when they are thirteen or fourteen. .Now the child is 13 years old, already a little big.

Wei Xiaobao pinched his fingers and calculated, it was the days when he was hunting down the rebels.No wonder his old lady scolded the street desperately that day, it turned out that it was because of this guilty conscience.It happened that Lu Shuang came at that time, and he was also guilty, but he didn't notice her abnormality, and let her get away with it like this.

"Why didn't you inspect the goods?" Although Wei Xiaobao knew it was too late to complain, he still couldn't help but teach.

"You are an idiot, I sent Er Niu to have an inspection, but the bastard just drools at the young master of the dealer and never said that he is a paralyzed man!! I didn't mean that someone wanted to search the man right after I brought him back, I Remember to block the mouths of those officers and soldiers, and let them carry him to the backyard before I could meet him. After my old lady finished the front hall, she came back and found out that it was a money-losing business. When they came to the door again, they said It's a one-shot deal, and I can't go back on my word. I won't see us again, what can I do?!"

"Then it's for nothing?!" Wei Xiaobao knew it was a bit immoral to say that, but he just couldn't swallow it.After finally being idle for a while, something happened again.

"...I haven't killed anyone yet. You don't have a bad idea! Your old lady, I'm not so cruel. I have a good child... You think this paralyzed person really can't take guests?" Wei Chunhua first half Duan scolded, and in the second half, his face turned into a charming smile. "Little Treasure, can you think of a way for me?" Her son has become more and more capable recently. Not only did he come up with a few tricks to bring his business to a higher level, but he also has the demeanor of a boss.She has more and more hope for this day.

Wei Xiaobao finally understood that Wei Chunhua's biggest shortcoming in this life is...too kind!Still not giving up? "Pick up guests?!" Wei Xiaobao smiled eccentrically. "That depends on how paralyzed it is." He said and got up, "Lu Shuang, let's go."

"Hey...why are you going?!" Wei Chunhua hurried aside to hold her precious son.Don't you plan to leave her alone because she caused a lot of trouble?

"What can I do? I'll inspect the goods for you, and see if the 'white guy' can still pick up customers." Wei Xiaobao rolled his eyes.Shake her hand away. "After suffering such a loss, let's see if you dare to be greedy for petty gains in the future." He said a lesson, but he walked towards the backyard without stopping. "Where is it locked in the backyard?"

"Uh...in the northernmost wing."

"...the darkest room?"

"Correct."

"...It's his luck that he didn't die." Wei Xiaobao paused and lazily continued.For a moment, his peach blossom eyes were gloomy and unclear.Wei Chunhua thought that he was about to explode, and was a little scared at first, but she didn't expect such a flat sentence at the end.He didn't answer the call and stood aside.

Wei Xiaobao looked at her and said, "You go, I'll go and have a look, when you bought him, who would know?"

"Only the housekeeper and Er Niu."

The butler had all been chopped off, so he wouldn't say anything. "Go to the accountant and pay Er Niu five taels of silver, and tell him not to talk nonsense."

"it is good."

Seeing Wei Chunhua's disappearing figure, Wei Xiaobao was full of gloom.Paralyzed, for a moment, he suddenly thought of Lu.The life of a paralyzed patient is unimaginably hard for normal people.After taking care of Lu for so long, he has a deep understanding.Moreover, this is ancient times, and the medical conditions are even worse. Most families simply cannot support such a child.It seems that the young master of the dealer must be extremely unpopular, otherwise why would a housekeeper secretly sell it for nothing?He knew the butler, and he was definitely not a bold person, so this child was probably a "defective product" that the dealer wanted to dispose of.Every big family has its own dirty secrets, and this one just happened to be met by them.
