Unparalleled Concubine

"We are all your brother's...friends."

Li Xin originally wanted to say comrades, but he was afraid that the young man would not understand, so he changed his words and said friends.

A bright smile appeared on Chen Shiliu's face: "Brother's friend, then go to our house and make some, I'll ask Auntie to make some food for you."

Habayashi Wei's monthly salary is two stones of white rice, ten feet of white silk, and one stone of rice is about a little more than one hundred catties. This salary is more than enough to support a family of three. In addition, Chen Shiliu can chop firewood every day in exchange. It is normal to have some surplus food at home when ordering copper coins.

Li Xin forced a smile: "Little brother, how many people are there in your family?"

"And my aunt and sister."

"How old is sister?"

"11 is old."

Chen Shiliu was very straightforward and thoughtless. After Li Xin said that he was his brother's friend, he would answer whatever he asked him.

Under the guidance of this young man, Li Xin and others soon arrived at his home. It was an earthen yard with a not-so-high wall and some dry goods from the countryside hung on the wall. A middle-aged woman was leading a small The daughter is drying the grain in the yard, and the afternoon sun shines on the grain, which is so golden and beautiful.

Li Xin stopped at the gate of the courtyard.

He couldn't bear to break this quiet beauty.

Chen Shiliu entered the house, put down the firewood from his shoulders, and smiled at his mother, "Aniang, my brother's friend is here, and the clothes should be Habayashi Wei who worked with my brother, and he is outside now." Waiting, go pour some tea and give them a rest."

The middle-aged woman glared at her youngest son: "Why are you so unruly? Dalang's friend is here, so just invite him in. Why do you let him wait outside?"

She hurriedly put down the things in her hands, wiped her clothes with her hands, and ran to the gate of the yard in small steps.

Then she saw the white cloth on Li Xin and the others, and the faint white banner behind them.

This woman, who looked about 40 years old, froze in place as if she had been killed by lightning.

Tears fell from her eyes.

She had seen this scene before. A few years ago, when her husband's obituary was sent back to the village, and the court came to distribute the pension, it was also the same scene.

But...he was only 16 years old on the first day of junior high school, and the marriage has not even been settled yet——

As soon as her eyes went dark, she was about to fall to the ground.

Li Xinxin was also quite sad, stepped forward and grabbed the woman, and said in a shy voice: "Mrs. Chen, my condolences—"

This is the worst scene in the world.

Aunt Chen gritted her teeth, forced her eyes to open, looked at the young man in front of her, and said in a trembling voice, "This... official, isn't my son Habayashi Wei... Isn't Habayashi Wei not fighting...? "

Aunt Chen's husband was a frontier soldier in the north and died in the north. Later, Habayashi Wei recruited people. Aunt Chen didn't agree at first, but her son told her that Habayashi Wei only eats sound and does not fight, so Aunt Chen let him go.

who knows……

Li Xin opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know what to say, and finally sighed softly: "Aunt Chen, this matter is Habayashi Wei's fault. The [-] pensions that the imperial court gave to the first day of junior high school are all here."

Speaking of this, Li Xin sighed faintly: "If you still want the position of Habayashi, Shiliu can come to Habayashi to report at any time, and I can take him personally."

Aunt Chen sat slumped on the ground, tears streaming down her face.

After her husband died, she struggled to support the family alone, until the eldest son was able to earn money to support the family. Who knew that this happened in just one year.

I have to say that there are many people in this world who are born to suffer. This Aunt Chen is, and so is Li Xin's mother.

Chen Shiliu and his younger sister ran out and surrounded their mother.

"Auntie, what's the matter with you?"

Li Xin took a few steps back and knelt down on one knee.

"Although the first day of the junior high school is gone, the Habayashi Guard is still there. If the Chen family has any difficulties in the future, as long as Li Xin is still in the capital for a day, he will be duty-bound!"

Li Xin knelt down, and the dozens of people behind him also knelt down.

Fifty or sixty Habayashi guards in black clothes and armor bowed respectfully to a peasant woman.

For a general like Ye Mingzhong Xuantong, war is just a series of cold numbers, but for Li Xin, there are not many brothers around him, many brothers he can call by name.

Those senior officials couldn't see these numbers, but Li Xin couldn't.

Even as Wang Zhong said, this is the end of fate.

But always be honest.

Chapter 203 Raise your eyes and look forward

Reality is reality, there is no way to accept it and you must accept it.

In the end, Aunt Chen agreed with her youngest son to work in Habayashi Guard. After all, this family needs someone to stand up and support it. The somewhat shy young woodcutter was also depressed at this time, and bowed deeply to Li Xin.

"My lord, this villain has to take care of my brother's funeral and arrange for my mother and sister. I will report to Habayashi Guard in a month's time."

Li Xin patted him on the shoulder and sighed: "Don't worry, I will give you an ultimatum whenever you come."

As he said that, Li Xin handed him the Habayashi Guard badge of his elder brother Chen Chuyi, and said in a deep voice, "You keep this badge. If you have anything to do, take this badge to the Habayashi Guard in the city." Daying is looking for me, although this pension is not much, it is still a sum of money, if someone dares to sway their minds, the three of you, mother and son, should not resist, and come directly to me with this sign."

Li Xin looked calm: "Habayashi Wei will not let his own people be bullied."

Chen Shiliu wept and said, "Thank you, sir—"

Li Xin sighed: "Your brother...it's a pity, but don't worry, the Habayashi Guard does not fight. After you enter the Habayashi Guard, nothing will happen."

Habayashi guards are responsible for guarding Miyagi, and occasionally serve as accompanying bodyguards for some important people. This kind of work will not cause accidents unless you encounter an assassin after eight lifetimes of bad luck.

It was unprecedented for someone like Li Xin to bring the Habayashi guards all the way to the north to fight the Yuwen clan.

Chen Shiliu shook his head and said, "My lord, I am not afraid of death."

"Kids, don't talk nonsense."

Li Xin patted him on the shoulder: "People have to be afraid of death, and only by being afraid of death can they live better."

After saying this, Li Xin handed Chen Chuyi's saber into the young man's hand, and sighed softly: "The city gate is about to close, we have to go back, remember to go to the Habayashi Guard camp if there is anything to do." Find me, don't carry it by yourself."

Chen Shiliu nodded heavily: "Understood."

When they returned to the capital, the city gate was about to close. Li Xin and others showed Habayashi Wei's badges, and the gate guards reluctantly gave Habayashi Wei a little face and let them in.

After entering the capital, Li Xin took a deep breath, and said to the people behind him: "Brothers are tired from running with me these days, take a day off tomorrow, and report at the Habayashi Guard camp the day after tomorrow."

In the past few days, among other things, Li Xin has established a great prestige in the hearts of these subordinates. In the past, some people were not convinced by this young young man, but now everyone is sincerely convinced. The words all responded in unison.
