Chapter 450: Three Leaves Coming to the Door
This girl was sent to the capital by Mu Qing, the head of the Mu family.
The biggest purpose of her coming to the capital was to find a way to "get" Li Xin and achieve a political marriage in a certain sense, but Li Xin has been avoiding her, and she has been living here with Mu Ying.
Even so, she was still not mentally prepared, so when she suddenly saw Li Xin just now, she said that she was a "big villain", because Li Xin had indeed tied her up with the little county lord in southern Xinjiang.
If you count the time, it was almost two years ago.
Just now, she thought that Li Xin was going to "attack" her.
However, after the initial fright, she still remembered her father's entrustment, so she forcibly endured her grievances and prepared to sacrifice herself heroically for the family.
Li Xin gave her a blank look.
"If your brother is not at home, I will have it, lonely men and widows live in the same room, and if you say it, it will affect the reputation of the official."
Mu Xin gritted her teeth and said, "When you tied me and the little county lord in your room before, why didn't you say that you were a lonely man and a widow?" ”
Marquis Li's face was not red, and his heart was not beating.
"At that time, you were the criminals who wanted to assassinate the official, and you were not women."
As he spoke, Li Xin glanced at the woman who was pulling her sleeve and frowned.
"Hurry up, or I'm going to call someone."
Mu Xin blushed, and after confirming that Li Xin was not here to attack her, the eldest lady of the Mu family ran back to the courtyard with her head down.
Li Xin sighed helplessly.
"People are too good to have these troubles, I'm about to get married, and these warblers and swallows come to provoke me."
He turned around and prepared to go to the Yulinwei camp to find Mu Ying.
But before he had time to get on the horse, Mu Ying, who was dressed in black, came back from work in the Yulinwei camp, he raised his eyes and saw Li Xin, and hurriedly walked up, bowed his head slightly and smiled: "Why is Master Hou waiting here?" ”
Li Xin glanced at him angrily.
"Yu Linwei has been off duty since sunset, where did you go so late?"
When he arrived in the city, it was already dark, so he subconsciously thought that Mu Ying was at home, but he pounced.
Mu Ying smiled a little embarrassedly.
"My subordinate brothers, please eat, I have no choice but to socialize."
Li Xin glanced up and down at the goods and found that he had indeed gained a lot of weight.
"Brother Mu, you have fallen ......"
Jing'an Hou glanced at Mu Ying faintly, and said bitterly: "You have been corrupted by the bureaucracy in the capital." ”
Mu Ying grinned and said: "Master Hou, don't bend me, I also want to lay a foundation for the Mu family to gain a foothold in the capital and make more friends, I can't always be a rootless duckweed, besides, the feeling of being corroded ......"
"It's good."
Li Xin shook his head helplessly.
Mu Ying, after being an official in the capital for more than a year, has begun to slowly become bureaucratized, but this is not a bad thing, at least the Mu family began to slowly take root in the capital, which shows that the Mu family really wants to take refuge in Dajin.
Mu Ying bent down slightly.
"What is the matter with Master Hou coming to me?"
Li Xin became serious.
"I want you to go back to southern Xinjiang in person and help me figure out what the situation in southern Xinjiang is now."
The current situation is very complicated, the Northern Zhou clan, the Li clan of Zhao County and Li Shen who is about to return to southern Xinjiang will bring earth-shaking changes to Shu County, especially if those Northern Zhou clans are really slaughtered by the Taikang Emperor, then how far will this public opinion ferment.
It's all a problem.
Calculate the time, there are less than two months to go before the New Year, and after the New Year at the latest, the two sides will begin to collide head-on, and at that time, Li Xin will most likely follow Ye Ming as a deputy general to go on the expedition, so he must now understand what the situation in southern Xinjiang is.
The reason why he did this was because the conversation with Li Shen that day made him feel a little vigilant.
In the face of an opponent like Li Shen, you must be careful at every step and must not make mistakes.
Mu Ying nodded and said, "I can take leave to visit relatives, but on Yu Linwei's side, there is no one to take care of it." ”
"Don't worry."
Li Xin's voice was calm: "I was in the capital for a day, and no one in Yu Linwei could intervene in it. ”
As he spoke, Li Xin patted Mu Ying on the shoulder.
"Also, that girl of yours, let's take it back together, I always think she's weird..."
"She's not going back."
Mu Ying glanced up at Li Xin, and her tone was a little strange.
"My dad told her, let her follow you, she is a dead eye, she won't go back with me."
“……”
"Forget it, how about you love."
Li Xin took his hands and prepared to leave.
"Be careful on the way back, your position is not low now, there may be people staring at you, don't be careless."
"Master Hou, don't worry."
Mu Ying smiled confidently: "I also have some henchmen in Yulinwei, just take a few with me." ”
Li Xin nodded, turned around and got on the horse.
Datongfang was still some distance away from Yongle Fang, and it was not until it was completely dark that Li Xin returned to the Jing'an Hou Mansion, and as soon as he dismounted and threw the reins to the people around him, a maid ran over panting.
"Master Hou, you are back."
Li Xin frowned: "What's wrong?" ”
"Someone came to visit you, and you've been waiting in the main hall for most of the hour."
"Who?"
"The servant doesn't know, it seems to be a prince..."
Li Xin's spirit was shocked when he heard this.
It's Ye Sheng here.
Although Ye Sheng is now his teacher, this old man has rarely gone out for more than ten years, he is a serious otaku, and he has never been to the Jing'an Hou Mansion once, so these subordinates in the Jing'an Hou Mansion do not recognize him.
"Nonsense, why didn't Master Ye look for me when he came?"
The maid was a little flustered, bowed her head and said, "Sister Hui went to look for Master Hou, but she didn't find it." ”
The sister Hui in her mouth is Chen Sixteen's daughter-in-law, she used to be the maid of the Jing'an Hou Mansion, and after marrying Chen Sixteen, the husband and wife both moved in, and she was also in charge of the Jing'an Hou Mansion.
While the two of them were talking, Chen Sixteen, who was busy in the house, also ran out, he had been following Li Xin some time ago, and he knew more, so he hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Master Hou, Old Master Ye has been waiting for you for a long time." ”
Originally, Chen Sixteen had been following Li Xin, but since Li Xin entered the forbidden army, he had no way to follow him all the time, so he worked with Xiaohui in the Hou Mansion.
Li Xin nodded.
"I know, I'm going to see Master Ye."
Li Xin walked quickly to the main hall of his house, and saw that the three generations of the Ye family's ancestors and grandchildren were all in the main hall, the old man Ye was sitting on the main seat drinking tea, Ye Ming was sitting in the guest seat with his eyes closed, and the little grandfather Ye Mao was sitting next to his father, a little distracted.
Li Xin hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Old Man Ye first.
"Master Ye forgive me, the disciple is busy outside, I don't know Master Ye has arrived."
This old man has not been out for more than ten years, and being able to come to the Jing'an Hou Mansion in person has already given Li Xin a lot of face.
As he spoke, he turned to Ye Ming and said, "Let Senior Brother Ye wait for a long time." ”
Ye Sheng glanced at Li Xin angrily,
"In the entire capital, you are the only one who can make the old man wait for an hour and not see him."
With Ye Sheng's status, he just went to the palace to see the emperor, and he saw it in seconds.
Li Xin smiled awkwardly.
Ye Ming, who was on the side, took out a roll of yellow cloth from his sleeve and said, "Senior brother, this is the imperial court's holy decree to Mao'er this afternoon, can you help you refer to it?" ”
