And next, Li Xin will be busy with the brewing of wine with Wei Wangfu. It is just right to be an idle school captain, so he has no mood to be another official for a while.

He is indeed young now, and it is already an exception to be a seventh-rank official. If Emperor Chengde gives him a promotion, it will probably attract criticism and even envy.

Emperor Chengde chuckled: "It's very rare to know how to advance and retreat at such a young age, then you will continue to be your school captain with Xiaojiu, and I will say hello later and ask them to increase your salary as a captain."

This is to give yourself a raise...

"Li Xin, thank you, Your Majesty Long En!"

Emperor Chengde waved his hand.

"You go down."

Li Xin bowed and left.

After the young man left Changle Palace, Emperor Chengde glanced at the direction he was leaving, and smiled at Chen Ju who was beside him inexplicably.

"After all, they are father and son, Li Shen is still not willing to kill him."

The eunuch Chen Ju shook his head and said in a low voice.

"Mr. Li is not a benevolent woman. According to this old slave, it may be that this young man did not give Mr. Li a chance to do something."

Emperor Chengde was startled when he heard the words, and fell into deep thought.

Chapter 135 How to get to Chase Square?

Datongfang, Li Xin's yard.

The aggrieved Zhong Xiaoxiao lay in Li Xin's arms and wiped away tears, Li Xin reached out and patted her on the back lightly, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't cry, brother is back. "

The little girl raised her head aggrievedly and looked at Li Xin.

"Brother is lying, I learned more than 1000 words last month, you come back now."

Before Li Xin left, he made an agreement with this little girl that she would come back when she learned to write a thousand characters. At that time, this girl would have been able to write one or two hundred characters. Writing, I learned a thousand characters within two months.

In fact, this is very difficult. Traditional Chinese characters are a bit cumbersome, and she has no foundation before. Thanks to Cui Jiuniang's teaching, she can learn nearly a thousand characters in two months, which is very rare.

Today when Li Xin went to pick her up from Deyi Building, even Cui Jiuniang said it was a pity that she was a woman.

The implication is that if Zhong Xiaoxiao is a boy, it will probably not be a problem to get a job in the future.

Li Xin stretched out his hand to touch the little girl's head, and said with a smile: "Some things are delayed on the way, brother will get you some delicious compensation later, okay?"

During this trip to southern Xinjiang, from going to coming back, and then to the Golden Temple, Li Xin's nerves were in a tense state for two or three months. Only now he faced this simple and kind little girl. Only then did his tense nerves suddenly relax.

In this hot furnace in the capital, probably only Zhong Xiaoxiao has no scheming and no pressure to get along with her. This is one of the reasons why Li Xin and Cui Jiuniang like her very much.

Zhong Xiaoxiao shook his head and said, "My brother has been busy outside for so long, so I will take a good rest for a few days when I return to the capital."

She wiped away her tears with her sleeve, then turned to the kitchen: "I'm going to cook for my brother."

After Li Xin moved, Zhong Xiaoxiao lived in Deyi Building most of the time. She didn't really live in this new home for a long time, but she could still find the location of the kitchen, so she immediately walked towards the kitchen.

She was only six years old, and although she ate better during this time, she was no longer as thin as before, but she couldn't grow up all of a sudden, and her small body was very cute when she walked.

Li Xin picked her up in three or two steps, and said with a smile: "It's not as high as the stove, what are you cooking, go to the fire, brother will make you some soup to nourish your body."

The little girl wrinkled her nose, a little unconvinced: "Sister Cui said, I have grown a lot taller."

While the two brothers and sisters were chatting and laughing, a crisp voice came from the gate of Li Xin's yard.

"Li Xin!"

It was the voice of the Ninth Princess Ji Lingxiu.

Lieutenant Li shook his head, put Zhong Xiaoxiao on the ground, and said softly, "Hey, go back to your room first, and I'll get you something to eat later."

Zhong Xiaoxiao knew that her elder brother had something to do. Although she sometimes acted like a baby with Li Xin, she never fooled around at such times. She nodded obediently and went back to her room.

Li Xin lowered his head and straightened his clothes, walked to the gate of the courtyard and opened the gate, only to see the nine princesses in thin clothes standing aggressively at the gate of the courtyard. Li Xin.

"Li Xin, as the head of the palace's personal guard, after you returned to the capital, you didn't report back to the Princess Mansion. What should you do?"

A smile appeared on Li Xin's face: "How does Your Highness know that I'm back?"

Her Royal Highness held her head high: "Don't change the topic, answer my question quickly!"

After the princess leaves the palace to open the mansion, she can call herself the palace, but the Ninth Princess usually doesn't have to call herself so arrogantly to others, that is, to be arrogant when facing Li Xin.

After he returned to the capital, his itinerary was still kept secret, that is, he showed up at the court this morning, but it was impossible for the nine princesses to get in touch with the court. After much deliberation, only the seventh prince leaked his whereabouts.

Thinking of this, Li Xin smiled helplessly: "I have been in southern Xinjiang for more than two months, and Her Royal Highness always allows me to rest for a day or two, isn't it?"

Ji Lingxiu snorted lightly.

"Don't come here, what do you want when you are at my house? You obviously just hide and don't want to see me!"

It's not like Li Xin doesn't want to see her.

It's just that after returning to the capital, there are many things to be busy, including dealing with the emperor of Chengde, distilled wine and other messy things, and the trip to southern Xinjiang consumed a lot of energy, so Li Xin wanted to take a rest for a while One day, I will go to the Princess Mansion to work as an errand.

After all, dealing with a puberty girl is no easier than dealing with Li Shen.

It is undoubtedly stupid to reason with a woman. Lieutenant Li blinked his eyes, and said with a soft smile: "I just want to be lazy for a day or two. Your Highness came to the door in person, wouldn't it be just to raise the teacher?"

Ji Lingxiu pursed her lips, stretched out her hand and waved behind her.

A carriage came out slowly from the corner, and Her Royal Highness snorted at Li Xin: "Guess what's inside?"

Across the carriage, Li Xin couldn't guess, he shook his head very bachelor.

"I can not guess it."

"so stupid."

The Ninth Princess gave Li Xin a blank look: "The weather is getting hot now. I bought a few carts of ice from Brother Seven's house a few days ago. I'm afraid I'll die from the heat, so I'll send you a cart!"

At this time, it is already midsummer in the capital city, and the end of May and the beginning of June are the beginning of the dry heat of the year. The most important thing in this season is to cool down. The nobles in Beijing often store ice in winter and put it in the ice cellar. Take it out for cooling in summer.

Just like burning charcoal in winter, these noble gentlemen will not let themselves be exposed to heat and cold.

His Royal Highness King Wei's Mansion of the King of Wei naturally stored a lot of ice, which was used to escape the heat in summer, and it would probably be heartbreaking to be hit by the Ninth Princess for several carts of ice at once.

Li Xin smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, I don't have an ice cellar here, so I can't store this..."

Since childhood, Ji Lingxiu has come into contact with rich or expensive families, and almost every family has an ice cellar, so she subconsciously thinks that every family in the capital has an ice cellar to store ice.
