After I retired, I became Shadow Guard's little wife

The cold wind was bitter, and there was a thick layer of snow in front of the second prince's mansion, and the shoes creaked and creaked when they stepped on it.

Wang Lin tucked his hands in his sleeves, and after a while, he took out a breath of hot air and stomped his feet in the cold.

There was a little beggar kneeling beside the stone lion in front of the mansion. He was still so young, about seven or eight years old, kneeling in front of the huge and mighty stone lion like a puppy tied up, it was pitiful.

As soon as the heavy snow stopped, both the stone lion and the little beggar were wrapped in plain white. Half of the little beggar's knees were buried in the snow, and Ren Wanglin refused to move even if his mouth was worn out.

He was shivering from the cold, and couldn't utter a complete sentence, so he begged Wang Lin, "I'm kneeling on the side, I won't block the way of the adults, please don't drive me away."

Wang Lin sighed, the child didn't even dare to kneel in the middle of the mansion gate, but stubbornly wanted to wait for the second prince to see him.

"If you don't get up again, your knees will be frozen." Wang Lin kindly persuaded that such a small child, who has been kneeling in the snow for so long, will not be able to get up for half a month even if he is not frozen.

The little beggar forced a smile, shook his head, looked at the closed door, and said softly, "It's okay."

His Majesty has three princes in total. The eldest son Xuanji is the son of Empress Zhang.

The second prince Xuan Luo, whose biological mother died young, was taken over by the noble concubine to be raised. Later, the noble concubine gave birth to the third prince Xuan Jing, and he opened a mansion to live outside the palace alone.

Xuan Luo hadn't been crowned yet, so he had to go to the study every day to study. He came back late that day, and saw a little beggar on the street who was almost trampled to death by the Zhang family's horseshoes, so he was rescued and given some money to eat. Only then did they send people away.

Unexpectedly, three days later, the little beggar came to kneel in front of the second prince's mansion. He didn't know who told him that it was the second prince who saved him, and he wanted to repay his kindness. When Xuan Luo didn't see him, he kept kneeling in front of the door. After kneeling for a while, he was afraid that he would be in the way of others, so he moved from the middle of the door to the side of the stone lion.

He had been kneeling since noon, and it started to snow at Shen time, and it fell for more than half an hour, and because the temperature was too low, the snow fell on the ground without melting, and it accumulated a thick layer.

As soon as you time arrived, Wang Lin guessed that it was time, so he asked someone to open the door with a broom to sweep the snow. After a while, a road was cleared at the door, and Xuan Luo's sedan chair also arrived.

Wang Lin trotted over to report in a low voice across the sedan chair, Xuan Luo was silent for a while, then lifted a corner of the curtain to look at the stone lion, a thin figure knelt unsteadily on the ground, there was a handyman Sweeping the snow to both sides, the little beggar held the ground with both hands and moved to the side with difficulty, giving way to that piece of ground.

As if telepathic, the little beggar suddenly turned his head and met Xuan Luo's eyes. His face was frozen, but he smiled at Xuan Luo, and then bent down to Xuan Luo again as if he had reacted. Luo kowtowed.

Xuan Luo slammed down the curtain and said coldly: "Let him go."

Wang Lin had a bitter face. He knew that the second prince would not accept a beggar into the mansion at will, but that one was really stubborn, and now the second prince was clearly angry.

"Your Highness, he refused to leave, saying that he would repay you for his kindness."

Repaying the favor, Xuan Luo chewed these two words carefully, and suddenly sneered, "Aren't you leaving? Then drive away."

Wang Lin didn't dare to persuade him any more, so he responded carefully.

The little beggar was very talkative this time. After hearing Wang Lin's words, he just felt down for a moment, then cheered up and thanked Wang Lin. Then he crawled from the stone lion to the corner of the street. The position of the Prince's Mansion was respectfully kneeled down again.

Wang Lin sighed, chased after him and stuffed a muff into his arms.

Xuan Luo changed his clothes after school, had dinner again, and lay down in the Fuyun Hall. It was not Xu time, so it would be too early to go to bed. Wang Lin guessed what he meant, and went to the study to get some books. , Picked up a few Jiulianhuan and Lubansuo and sent them over.

Xuan Luo glanced at it, took the jade Nine Links and played with it.

Wang Lin lit another lamp, then squatted beside Xuan Luo's bed and waited.

Xuan Luo played for a while, a little impatient, threw Jiu Lianhuan aside, and changed Lu Bansuo to study, he didn't even look at Wang Lin, and said casually: "What's the matter?"

"Your Highness..." Wang Lin watched Xuan Luo's expression carefully, "The little beggar is still kneeling on the corner of the street."

"Boss Wang," Xuan Luo chuckled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, and threw Lu Bansuo to the ground, "When did you become so kind?"

Wang Lin's face turned pale in an instant, he knelt on the ground to plead guilty, and slapped himself on the face: "It's a slave who talks too much."

The crisp applause sounded in the night, and it was extraordinarily intimidating. Wang Lin didn't dare to hold back, and his cheeks swelled up after a while, and Xuan Luo said "enough" when his ears were buzzing.

Wang Lin was a little dizzy. After he stopped, he picked up the Luban lock on the ground and gave it to Xuan Luo again. After Xuan Luo took it, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Now he really didn't dare to say anything more, Wang Lin put down all the curtains and was about to leave quietly when he heard Xuan Luo's order.

"Bring people in."

Wang Lin was stunned for a moment, and then said yes.

When Wang Lin arrived at the corner of the street, the little beggar was already fainting from the cold. When he saw Wang Lin, he stretched out his fingers and begged cautiously, "My lord, I kneel so far that I won't obstruct His Highness's eyes. Please don't chase me away." I'm going."

Wang Linxin said that the slaps I received for you were all for nothing, and now she still treats me as a bad person.

He poked the little beggar's face, "Your Highness let you in, can you still stand up?"

The little beggar opened his eyes wide in an instant, with a look of disbelief on his face, he said, "The Second Highness asked me to go in?"

Zhou Si let out an "ah", and then stretched out his hand to help him: "Get up soon? Your Highness might not see you if you get tired of waiting."

Only then did the little beggar have a sense of reality. He nodded hurriedly, but couldn't say anything, so he smirked and was supported by Wang Lin to stand up.

Standing halfway, he tilted and fell to the ground again.

Kneeling for too long, and freezing for too long, I can no longer stand up.

But he was still very happy, and whispered to Wang Lin: "Your Excellency, you go ahead, I'll crawl in, don't make the Second Highness wait."

How could Wang Lin obey him, so in the end he had to ask the porter to carry him in, and found a set of clean clothes for him to change into before making him kneel again at the entrance of Fuyun Hall.

Wang Lin went in to report and then opened the door to let him in. The little beggar really crawled in now, and without someone to support him, he couldn't stand up at all, let alone walk.

He knelt beside Xuan Luo's bed and whispered "Second Highness".

Xuan Luo paused, looked at him, and saw that he had changed into a clean set of clothes, but his hair was still wet, probably because he was frozen outside, and after entering the hall, water began to drip, and the soaked collar was a little wet.

"You want to repay the favor?"

The little beggar nodded vigorously. He had been frozen for a day, and once he entered the Fuyun Hall, he was even more dizzy from the heat. Seeing that the Second Highness on the bed had a double image, he had to open his eyes wide, blinking and blinking.

"How do you want to repay it? Sell yourself to me?" Xuan Luo sneered, deliberately scaring him, "I thought you came to my house to eat and drink? Let me tell you, being in the house is no worse than being a beggar easy."

The little beggar felt a little dizzy and could barely understand Xuan Luo's meaning. He shook his head and explained: "I'm not here to eat hot food, I want to repay my favor and serve the Second Highness."

"Serve me? I still need a slave like you?" Xuan Luo's mouth was really poisonous, and he hoped that he would be more aggressive to scare away this ignorant brat.

"The Second Highness is not lacking," the little beggar thought very clearly, "So I beg the Second Highness to accept me, I can do anything."

Xuan Luo suddenly felt that the little beggar was interesting, so he followed his words and asked, "Can you do anything?"

The little beggar nodded.

"Then tell me, what can you do?"

The little beggar frowned and thought for a long time. He didn't know what the servants of the prince's mansion needed to do. He only heard a few words from the guests in the teahouse. Feed Your Highness, and help Second Highness warm the bed."

That's all he could think of. The adults in the teahouse said that the people in the palace definitely don't have to do anything by themselves, and even a dozen people need to serve them for meals. That should be enough for him...

The little beggar was a little apprehensive, afraid that his answer would not satisfy the nobleman.

Xuan Luo dropped the Luban lock in his hand as early as he said "warm the bed", he frowned and looked at this brave little beggar, and asked him: "How old are you, do you know what warming the bed means? ?”

The little beggar blinked, and there was a trace of mist in his eyes: "Nine years old..."

What does warming the bed mean, but he couldn't tell, his brain was burning and his face was hot.

Seeing that the person answered halfway, Xuan Luo stopped answering, looked at him with a frown, and saw that the person's eyes began to wander, so he reluctantly passed the question, which was regarded as letting him go.

Seeing that he could hardly stand it any longer, Xuan Luo asked the last question: "What's your name?"

"Zhou Si." The little beggar forced himself to finish the last sentence and fell straight to the ground.

Xuan Luo curled his lips and asked Wang Lin to take him down to see a doctor.

Wang Lin picked up Zhou Si carefully, and was stopped by Xuan Luo when he was walking out.

"Your Highness?" Wang Lin waited carefully.

Xuan Luo thought for a while, looked at the child's face that was flushed red from the cold, and after a while, ordered: "Check out the background, and if there is no problem, arrange him to Fuyun Hall."

"...Yes." Wang Lin was a little surprised. He thought it was an exception for His Highness to keep someone. Unexpectedly, this child really has great fortune.

He carefully asked for instructions: "What rules should I teach?"

Is it according to the boy?Chamberlain?Or a book boy?Or...the personal servant?

Xuan Luo suddenly laughed, looked at the fainted child, and pointed out: "Ask him if he knows what warming the bed means, and teach him as he thinks."

Wang Lin: "..."

Darling, it turned out to be such a good fortune.
