Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 342 A promise of gold!

   Returning to Yongzhou has always been an obsession of Li Xinxin.

Or it was another Li Xin's obsession, but now, the two Li Xins are no longer distinguishable from each other, and even Li Xin himself can't tell whether he is the five-good youth who grew up under the red flag, or the world. 's unlucky bastard.

  The only thing that is certain is that I always have to go back to see my mother and build a decent grave for that poor girl.

   I also have to bring my uncle back to Yongzhou.

Originally, this was something Li Xin should have done immediately after he became an official, but some time ago he was caught in the struggle for succession and couldn't get away from it. Until now, the dust has settled on the throne, and Li Xin finally has the opportunity to return to his hometown. .

  In Weiyang Palace, Li Xin met Emperor Taikang very smoothly.

   After listening to Li Xin's explanation of the purpose of his visit, the emperor sighed deeply: "Brother Xin was lonely in his early years, and I also heard about it. Now that I am an official, I should return to my hometown to show my filial piety to my mother."

   He asked, "When is Brother Xin going to leave Beijing?"

   "It was about the fourth and fifth day of the first day of the first month. After dealing with the affairs of the capital, we set off."

  The emperor was silent for a while, and said, "The matter of the eldest brother..."

Li Xin whispered: "I will tell my subordinates to continue to look at the Marquis of Pingnan, but it is unlikely that the prince will be abolished in Beijing. His Majesty will use the Tianmu Supervisor and... Zhu Rongsi's people will go to Shu County to investigate. Check it out."

Zhu Rongsi, an intelligence agency established last year when the emperor was still the king of Wei, and Li Xinxin Zhu Rongjiu's income, was not very good at the beginning, only 20 or 30 people, but later the number became more and more, but Li Xin did not participate in the follow-up formation work, and he is not very clear about how many people there are in Zhu Rongsi.

  The emperor nodded slowly: "That's it."

Having said that, the emperor got up and walked in front of Li Xin, pulled Li Xin's sleeve, and said slowly: "Brother Xin has been wronged before, but this time it will be more beautiful. I promise you to bring 500 Yulin guards. One is to protect your safety, and the other is to give you some pomp."

  Li Xin shook his head and said, "Thank you for your great love, Your Majesty. Two hundred people are enough, and Yulin Guard still has to defend the capital, so he can't be dispatched on a large scale because of the minister's private affairs."

  The emperor nodded with a smile: "Then there are 200 people. When I look back, I will send a note to the Ministry of Rites and ask the Ministry of Rites to give Xin Ge'er's mother a second-rank imperial life madam."

   Li Xin's biggest official position now is the right servant of the Ministry of War of the third rank. It stands to reason that his mother should be the third rank even if he was given an official life.

   Li Xin knelt down respectfully.

   "My minister, thank you Your Majesty for your generous gift."

  The emperor patted Li Xin on the shoulder and sighed: "Go early and return early, don't miss your hometown, I still have many places to rely on Brother Xin."

"Yes."

  …………

   After leaving the palace, Li Xin brought two jars of toasting wine and came to the Duke Chen's mansion to pay New Year's greetings to the old Duke Ye Sheng.

  It is different now. It used to be difficult for Li Xin to see the old man, but this time he visited, Ye Lin led Ye Mao out to greet him in person.

   Chen Guogong's mansion even opened the middle gate.

Generally, only the distinguished guests will open the middle door. With the status of Chen Guogong's mansion, only the emperor or the clan is qualified to open the middle door. Now they have opened the middle door for Li Xin. face.

   After meeting, Li Xin bent over to Ye Lin and clasped his fists: "Ye Houye has a good New Year."

   Then he smiled at Ye Mao: "Young Master will have a healthy New Year."

   The Marquis of Ningling took Li Xin's hand and said with a smile: "What are you waiting for? Brother Li, don't make fun of them, come in quickly."

   Ye Mao also said loudly, "That's right, Brother Li still sees things like that."

   Ye Lin's face darkened, and he glanced back at his nephew.

   "There are no rules. Haven't you seen me and Brother Li talking about the same generation? You will call him uncle in the future!"

   Young Master Ye Mao, coughed a few times and gritted his teeth angrily.

   He is obviously older than Li Xin, okay?

But Ye Houye ignored what the eldest nephew thought, and brought Li Xin into the yard, smiling: "I didn't see Brother Li in the capital yesterday, I heard that Brother Li disappeared after coming out of the palace, no Do you know where you're going?"

   Li Xin shook his head and smiled wryly.

   "I went to Southern Border last year. Many Paoze died. I felt sorry for them, so I went to see Paoze's family yesterday."

   Ye Lin patted Li Xin on the shoulder and sighed.

   "Brother Li is still young, it would be nice to see more of this kind of thing in the future."

  Ci is not in charge of soldiers. The Ye family is a general. Although Ye Lin has never actually been on the battlefield, he has been familiar with these things since he was a child.

  Li Xin shook his head.

   "Forget it, let's not talk about that, where is the old man, I'll go and pay his respects to the old man."

"inside."

   Ye Lin laughed and said, "Brother Li didn't come yesterday, the old man was a little unhappy, and scolded you for having no conscience."

   Li Xin followed Ye Lin and walked to the backyard of Chen Guogong's mansion. After seeing Ye Sheng, Li Xin was about to kneel down to pay New Year's greetings to Old Man Ye.

   During the Chinese New Year, it is normal for the younger generation to kowtow to the elders. Ye Sheng has helped Li Xin a lot during this time, and he is considered to be Li Xin’s senior.

   But the older generation is still two generations older, so it’s hard to say.

   Anyway, Ye Lin is now asking the young master Ye Mao to call Li Xin his uncle...

   Before he knelt down, Ye Sheng helped him up and said with a laugh, "Let's make friends with each other, no need to kowtow, no need to kowtow."

   Now, it was Ye Lin's turn to look bad.

   Ye Mao gritted his teeth even more.

   In the blink of an eye, he was a generation shorter.

After sitting down, Li Xin put down the toasting wine in his hand and said a few auspicious words to Ye Sheng. After Ye Lin and Ye Mao had both left, Li Xin said to the old man, "Grandpa, the younger generation has passed away. I will leave the capital in a few days and go back to my hometown."

   Ye Sheng frowned.

   "When the new dynasty was established, it was time to take advantage of it. Why did you leave the capital at this time?"

   Once the emperor and the courtier, now the Chengde Dynasty is over, and the Taikang Dynasty is full of cakes, just waiting for a group of tigers and wolves to divide it up. It is not a good thing to stay away from the capital at this time.

   Li Xin smiled and said: "The full moon is a loss, and taking too much is not a good thing. This time I went home to build a grave for my mother, and secondly, I wanted to avoid the limelight."

   Ye Sheng clapped his hands and praised: "Good knowledge, good knowledge, you can have this knowledge at this age, and at least you will be in Zhang Qu's position in this life."

   Li Xin shook his head and smiled: "Junior only thinks that one day, I will be able to sit in the position of my grandfather."

   Ye Sheng blew his beard and stared.

   "The old man has been imprisoned in this imperial mansion for 30 years. What is the use of his higher status? Don't imitate me, don't imitate me."

Li Xin said a few more words to the old man, and he remembered it before he parted, so he stood up and saluted Ye Sheng: "My lord, the junior is eighteen years old after the new year, so he can barely take it. List words, the younger generation has no elders in Beijing, please ask the old man to give the words."

   "Take a name."

   Ye Sheng's eyes lit up, he laughed and said, "This old man is the best at it."

   As he counted his fingers, he said, "There is a letter in your name, and a letter means keeping a promise. The ancients said that a promise is worth a lot of money, it's better..."

   Old man Ye slapped his thigh.

   "Why don't you just call Qian Jin?"

  Li...a daughter?

  Li Xin was silent for a long time, then glanced at the old man and turned around silently.

   Mother, I came to the wrong place, I forgot that this old guy is illiterate!
