Unparalleled Concubine

Zhao Fang nodded with a grin, and obediently followed behind Li Xin. It was already late at the moment, Li Xin asked someone to arrange a place for him, and then said lightly: "Now it's midnight, don't disturb the family. Take a shower first, tidy yourself up, change into new clothes tomorrow, and then come out to meet people."

Because of joining the army, Zhao Fang, who originally loved cleanliness, was forced to change his habit of cleanliness, and traveled for several months, making him even more sloppy.

Zhao Fang smiled and nodded.

"Little brother obeys."

Li Xin glared at him again, shook his head and sighed, took the lantern and went back to sleep.

Early the next morning, it was the [-]th year of the fourth year of Yuanzhao. After this day, it was the fifth year of Yuanzhao. On this day, not only Li Xin got up early, but even the nine princesses who were snoozing on weekdays also got up early and led the big The daughter and the youngest son posted couplets everywhere at home.

As usual, Li Xin got up and stood on the boxing pole. After standing for an hour, he fetched water to wash, and then strolled in his backyard. The princess and her eldest daughter, Li Shu, stood aside and watched.

Zhao Yi has been studying with his father Zhao Jia since he was a child. Not only is he proficient in classics, but his calligraphy has been as good as his father's essence. , I am very satisfied with this young man's writing.

Li Xin's face darkened, he stepped up and coughed: "Um... is breakfast ready?"

When Li Shu heard his father's voice, she immediately turned her head and called "Daddy" sweetly, but Zhao Yi was much more reserved, so he quickly put down his pen and ink, got up and bowed to Li Xin: "Father..."

Li Xin's face was full of black lines...

This kid, why is he so shameless? He just made a joke when we met for the first time yesterday, so he climbed up the pole.

And Zhao Jia, who arranged him to write here early in the morning, must have no good intentions.

These scholars are dirty in their hearts!

Thinking of this, Li Xin quickly pulled the eldest daughter over, and said, "Don't read and write here, your uncle Zhao Fang came back last night, he should be at Xiaoxiao's place right now, go and have a look."

Li Shu was born a year or two after Zhao Fang was placed in Jing'an Hou's Mansion, but Zhao Fang lived in Jing'an Hou's Mansion for six years, and Li Shu naturally recognized him. Although he hadn't seen him for many years, little Ah Han nodded immediately, Excited to go.

Princess Nine walked up to Li Xin angrily and amusedly, and said, "Why did you drive Ah Han away? She is already ten years old this year, and it's not a bad idea to order an in-law. The son of Mr. You'an's family, look Looks like a talented person, and the handwriting is beautiful."

This is the difference in ideology. In the eyes of the nine princesses, women should be married at the age of thirteen or fourteen. Xiang Zhong Xiaoxiao, who is still at home at the age of ten, is a hopeless leftover woman. .

Li Xin gave his wife a white look, and said with a dark face, "Ah Han will talk about marriage after at least 16 years old."

As he said that, he looked at Zhao Yi and coughed: "The writing is pretty good, let's continue writing."

After all, Lord Jing'an turned around and left. Not far away, he saw Zhao Fang, who had changed into a new suit, walking with Zhong Xiaoxiao. The experience allowed him to deal with all kinds of people, and his mouth was even more powerful. From time to time, he would tell some small jokes and funny stories in the military, making his little eyes bend into crescent moons.

Li Xin shook his head helplessly, and walked over.

Seeing Li Xin, the two immediately separated half a step away, Zhao Fang cupped his hands respectfully: "Master Hou."

Zhong Xiaoxiao has been with Li Xin for more than ten years, so she naturally wants to be more casual. She was blessed and said softly, "Brother."

Li Xin nodded, then glanced at Zhao Fang lightly.

"The two of you are not too young. Since you can get along well, let's find a time to arrange the marriage. Small marriage matters can be resolved. As an elder brother, I can let go of one thing."

He said so, but he was still somewhat depressed in his heart.

After all, since she was five years old, Li Xin has been raising her, and it is no different from marrying a daughter at this moment.

Zhao Fang stepped forward, knelt down in front of Li Xin, bowed his head and said, "It's all up to Lord Hou to decide."

Xiao Xiao used to be autistic. After hearing Li Xin's words, she blushed and lowered her head, "Brother, I'll take care of Jing'er."

After all, she turned her head and ran away.

The meaning is obvious, that is, let Li Xin, the "parent", make arrangements for her.

With both hands in his sleeves, Li Xin glanced at Zhao Fang lightly.

"Marrying my sister is not easy. First of all, you have to have money to buy a house in the capital. You can't let my sister wander around with you."

In the capital, every inch of land is expensive, and Zhao Fang's salary naturally cannot afford it.

"It's easy."

Captain Zhao grinned: "When I return to the capital, I will buy a big house in Mingdefang."

Lord Jing'an frowned slightly.

"Where did you get the money?"

Zhao Fang blinked at Li Xin, and said with a smile, "Master Hou, have you forgotten that I am from the Li family of Zhao County, and when my grandfather sent me to Jing'an Hou Mansion, he left me some property, It is the capital to build a family in the future.”

"..."

I almost forgot, this guy is a rich second generation!

Zhao Fang couldn't be embarrassed, Li Xinxin felt a little unhappy, but he had no choice but to shake his head.

"Get up, I have a few words to tell you."

Zhao Fang quickly got up and followed behind Li Xin.

Lord Jing'an walked and talked.

"The marriage will be held in Qiyang, and Madam will take care of it for you."

"There is a possibility that there will be a war in Jizhou. After you get married, you should not go back to Jizhou for the time being, but live in Qiyang. When I let you go out, you can go out again."

Zhao Fang obediently followed behind Li Xin, respectful.

Chapter 978

The fourth year of Yuanzhao came to an end in this way. Li Xin and several brothers celebrated the New Year in Qiyang County. At this time, outside the northern border of the Great Jin Dynasty, Yu Wenzhao, the King of Yan, was wearing a purple robe, holding a copper telescope in his hand. , was watching Yunzhou City not far away.

Over the years, the glass-making technology of the Jin Dynasty has gradually matured. Telescopes are no longer a rare thing that can only be ground with the best water jade. However, because of their great role in the battlefield, this thing is still under the official control of the Jin court. , Yu Wenzhao spent a lot of unjust money in order to get such a telescope.

But the binoculars are really easy to use. It has only been in his hands for more than half a year, and it is about to patina.

Yu Wenzhao slowly put down the binocular telescope in his hand, and looked at the standing Yunzhou City with thoughtful eyes.

Behind him stood the eldest son Yu Wendi. Seeing his father put down the binoculars, Yu Wendi said, "Father, the Ji family court is very dissatisfied with our harassing their borders, and has issued an imperial edict to admonish the father, saying that if the border If our troops do anything wrong again, in the spring of next year, the Great Jin Dynasty will use all its weapons and attack our troops in the north."

"Northern Expedition?"

Yu Wenzhao stroked his beard, and said with a sneer, "Now there is a Li Chang'an in the southwest, who has restrained more than [-] troops of the Ji family, and their Gyeonggi forbidden army can't move lightly. Why should they go north? Rely on that brat of the Ji family a mouth?"

Yu Wendi stood with his hands down, silent.

Yu Wenzhao picked up the binoculars and looked into the distance again, then stretched out his hand and wiped off the dust on the binoculars with his sleeve, put it back in his arms, looked back at his eldest son, and said: You tried to find a way to contact Li Xin, did you get in touch with him?"

"No."
