In the autumn of the 24th year of Kaiyuan, Chang'an City was colder than ever.
"Brother, it's really cold today!" At a tea shop facing the street on Zhuque Street, passers-by sat down wrapped in robes, "Here are two cups of hot tea to warm your stomach."
"That's not true. The world has changed, and God is no longer in a good mood! How did you say this? It's said that the ancient scenery and language are all words of love. It's a cold day, and it makes our hearts even colder!"
The tea shop owner handed over the teapot. Seeing that there was no business now, he simply sat next to him and started chatting with the man.
The traveler drank hot tea and licked his lips, "Hey, brother, you are a native of the capital. Let me ask you something. This emperor...really wants that Li Linfu to be his prime minister?"
The boss looked to both sides and saw that there was no one on the street, so he whispered: "Everyone is talking about this matter now. It is said that it is the news coming from the palace. This Li Linfu has been in the limelight for the past two years. The emperor has nothing to do with him."
That’s because I’m extremely favored... I guess he didn’t run away!”
"Prime Minister Zhang and Prime Minister Pei, what two good prime ministers they are, how can they be demoted just because they say they should be demoted!"
"It's not that Li Linfu is not a thing. He secretly set a trap for our two prime ministers. The emperor said so many bad things. He does one thing on the surface but behind the other's back. He is a scoundrel who relies on women to get to the top. Bah!" the boss said fiercely.
He spit.
"I heard that Li Linfu is a corrupt official."
"How can such a person be a good official? I heard that after he first became an official, the gang of street gangsters who used to hang out with him came to him to borrow money. If you say that he doesn't want to borrow money, then you can be forgiven.
But he lent money to others openly, and secretly ordered people to beat all the scoundrels to death, and the whole family was not spared! Why? Isn't it just to get a clean background for himself? Our Datang stall
If such a cruel and ruthless person becomes prime minister, we will not have a good life in the future!" The boss drooped his face and sighed in frustration.
On a square table not far from the two of them, there were two children sitting. The younger one was about five or six years old, and the older one was only eight or nine years old. They were both holding cups of hot tea and warming their red little hands, speaking softly.
He gently blew away the steaming heat and sipped the tea in small sips. Hearing the conversation between the two people next to him, the older child actually smashed the tea cup on the table with a "bang" and stood up with a red face.
He was about to rush towards those two people.
The younger child kicked the older child hard under the table. The older child turned around in confusion. The younger child glared. The older child drooped his shoulders and sat down in frustration.

"What's wrong?" The boss heard the commotion here and came over to ask. When he saw the broken teacup and flowing tea on the table, his already bad face became even darker.
"I accidentally burned you while drinking tea. I accidentally broke your tea cup. I'm sorry, uncle." The younger child rubbed the back of his head, grinned and revealed two white tiger teeth, and his eyes curved into two crescents. I apologized.
smiled.
"Ah-uh-right-sorry...sorry..." The older child was kicked again and reluctantly nodded and apologized.
"Forget it, forget it, as long as you didn't get burned." The boss saw the cute expression on the child's apology, and no matter how angry he was, he couldn't let it out at this moment. He waved his hand and covered up the matter.
.After clearing the table, he went back to talk to passers-by.
The child drank the rest of the tea, took out two pennies, shook it at the boss with a smile, and placed it on the table. The older child, who seemed to be his servant, quickly picked up a mink fur cloak that was placed aside.
On top of him, the two of them walked toward the street together wrapped in the autumn wind.
"What a good boy, he must be the son of an official. I don't know which family he belongs to, but that family is lucky!" a passerby said enviously.
"It can't be that Li Linfu's child! If that person has a child, it means that his ancestors have accumulated good deeds. God should let such a person never have another generation!" The boss got up and went to collect the money. The passerby smiled and took out two pence, and hurriedly
On his way.
There were not many people on the road. After passing Jingshanfang and reaching the market over there, there were more people. Two children were shuttled among the crowd, and the older child bulged his mouth, as if he was dissatisfied. He wanted to ask a few times, but he couldn't.
He slapped her mouth and choked her back.
"If you have something to say, just say it and fart." The child seemed to notice something strange about the older child and glanced at him and said.
The eldest child took a deep breath and said, "Master, I don't understand. They insult me so much, so you're not angry? If you don't want to argue with them, forget it, but I'm going - why are you stopping me?"
"
The kid curled his lips and said, "If you quarrel with them, won't I still have to get involved? And what if there's a fight? That boss is so strong that he can beat ten of us. We're not doing this on our own.
Looking for hardship?"
"Don't be afraid of a fight." The eldest child said, "If a fight really breaks out and I hold them off, young master, just run away and go back to the house to bring reinforcements. I love you the most and will definitely bring the most powerful guards to take revenge."
.I think the young master can find reinforcements for me, then I will

Even if they beat me to death, it doesn’t matter."
"Get out!" the child cursed, "Wuxiang, listen, I am your young master, I should be the one protecting you, you know? One day I may not be able to defeat others, you go find me some reinforcements, do you understand?"
It should be me, young master, who is responsible for dragging others down. If you encounter this kind of thing in the future, please don't steal my limelight. Don't think that I can't deal with you since you are older than me."
The eldest child, Wu Xiang, didn't answer after hearing this, but just smiled like "hehe".
The child sighed maturely, "Besides, what they said is true. Li Linfu is indeed not a good person. If we don't care about it, why argue..."
"Young Master, I am your biological father. How can your son not call you father by his first name every day? Besides, there is no reason for a son not to help his father." Wu Xiang was puzzled.
"It's up to you! How much benefit has Li Linfu given you, and why are you talking to him like this?"
Wu Xiang shook his head, "I was picked up by my master. Without him, I would have died long ago. I have been very kind to me. I can't bear it when others say bad things about him, no matter whether it is true or not!"
"Okay, Wu Xiang, I didn't expect Li Linfu to hold such a heavy weight in your heart." A teasing smile appeared on the young master's lips, "Hey Wu Xiang, tell me, if Li Linfu and I fell into the water at the same time, who would you save?"
"Uh..." Wu Xiang had a troubled look on his face, and his nose and eyebrows were almost squeezed together. He glanced aside and saw that his young master's smile was getting cuter. He trembled, broke into a cold sweat, and hurriedly laughed with him.
Said: "Of course I will save you, young master, I am your slave. Haha..."
"Tsk." The young master sneered and turned away, "I'm too lazy to care about you."
"Master, where are we going?" Wu Xiang couldn't help but beat his heart when he saw the young master walking to a place where no one was around. Especially when the young master took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, he suddenly walked towards a quiet alley.
He ran away wildly. Wu Xiang was so frightened that he didn't know what kind of stroke his young master had or what kind of disease he had, so he chased after him with a sad face.
"Young master, what on earth do you want to do!" Wu Xiang saw his young master stopped and stood motionless in front of a small courtyard, and ran over quickly. When he saw the young master standing there motionless, Wu Xiang's face turned pale and he burst into tears.
"Shua" flowed down.
"Master, aren't you possessed by an evil spirit? How can I tell the master if you are like this? Master, please tell me... How can a person who was just fine just now be possessed by an evil spirit?"
