Unparalleled Concubine

The congratulations continued from the morning to the afternoon. In the afternoon, most of the officials left the imperial city and began to pay New Year greetings to their relatives and friends. This time is also the best time for officials to socialize. packed with people.

This year is different from previous years, this year there are three other doorsteps, which are also crowded with New Year greetings.

Chen Guogong's mansion, Jing'anhou's mansion, and Zhongyonghou's mansion.

These three families are the heroes of the new dynasty. In the Taikang dynasty, they must be in a pivotal position, and they will naturally make everyone compete to curry favor.

Even Chen Guogong's mansion, which is already highly respected, has a lot more people who come to pay New Year's greetings this year than in previous years.

On weekdays, the Zhongyonghou Mansion, which no one cares about, is also full of people.

The former Prince Qi's Mansion, and now the gate of Jing'anhou's Mansion, is full of people. This young Jing'anhou is currently the undisputed number one celebrity. I don't know how many people are rushing to make friends with Li Xin. friend.

But everyone rushed to nothing.

Because the Marquis of Jing'an is not at home.

Everyone blocked the entrance of Jing'an Hou's Mansion, and the door of the Hou's Mansion was closed tightly, so there was no way to enter.

Hou Jingde, a big man in military uniform, was also among those who paid New Year's greetings to Li Xin. He left the crowd abruptly by relying on his strength, and entered Jing'an Hou's mansion by relying on his connections. He asked, "Where did Lord Jing'an go?"

Several maids shook their heads again and again.

"Master Hou went to the palace in the morning and never came back."

Hou Jingde frowned.

Could it be that brother Li also went to pay New Year's greetings to others?

He knew in his heart that Li Xin didn't know many people in the capital, and with his current status, there were even fewer people worthy of his New Year visits. Counting and counting, it seemed that there were only Ye Sheng's family in Chen Guogong's mansion.

The waiting general grinned: "Brother Li is still sensible. He was the first one to go to Ye's house. It just so happens that I am going to Ye's house to pay New Year's greetings, so I will go to Ye's house to find him."

With that said, the big man pushed through the crowd and headed towards Chen Guogong's mansion.

However, Li Xin is not in Chen Guogong's mansion either.

At this time, in a place called Chenjia Village on the outskirts of Jinling City, Li Xin brought Mu Ying, and the two of them each carried a lot of things, knocked on the door of a farmer.

A middle-aged woman opened the courtyard door.

Li Xin and Mu Ying carried the things in and bowed to the woman.

"Happy New Year to my aunt."

A young man with only his left arm left held his sister's hand and walked out from the back room. After seeing Li Xin, this young man named Chen Shiliu burst into tears.

"Li Lang will..."

Chapter 340

Frankly speaking, Li Xin felt sorry for the family.

The eldest son of the Chen family, on the first day of junior high school, followed Li Xin to the battlefield and died in Xiaochenji. This incident has always made Li Xinxin feel a little grudged.

Because they are Habayashi guards.

Habayashi Guard originally didn't need to go to the Northland. Even if he went to the Northland, he didn't have to fight those Hu people. It was simply because of the arrangement of Emperor Chengde and Ye Ming, and because Li Xin himself needed this military merit, so 39 people died. In Xiaochenji.

This incident had a great impact on Li Xin.

At that time, he had just come to this world not long ago, and he still had the thoughts of a modern person in his mind. The scene of 39 corpses in front of him was deeply remembered by this young man.

Until now, he still remembers these 39 people. Yesterday, on the [-]th day, he asked each household to send some money to them.

I didn't send too much, the family only gave two pieces of money.

In fact, Li Xin has the ability to give more, but giving too much may not be a good thing, and it may bring disaster to them.

Today, on the first day of the lunar new year, after Li Xin came out of the palace, he should have gone to the Ye family, or the Hou family, Zhang Xiang, Huan Xiang and other people’s homes to pay New Year’s greetings, so as to have friendship with each other, but he did not do so, and He dragged Muying to bring some New Year's gifts and rushed to this unremarkable small village on the outskirts of the city.

Chen Shiliu's mother is a very simple woman, she always smiles when she sees everyone, but after seeing Li Xin coming, she is a little unhappy

When Li Xin came here for the first time, he told her that her eldest son died on the battlefield. After all this incident passed, the younger son followed him into the Habayashi Guard. Life at home was a bit easier, but it didn’t take long. , the younger son also lost an arm, so he had to go home to recuperate.

Her youngest son hasn't gotten married this year, he lost his right arm and became a useless person, how can he marry a wife?

The last time Li Lang said that Habayashi guards don't fight...

The woman poured a glass of water for Li Xin and Mu Ying, then took the hand of the youngest daughter, trying to avoid it.

Chen Shiliu smiled awkwardly at Li Xin.

Li Xin knew that she was not feeling well, so he stood up, cupped his hands at the woman and said, "Auntie, Li Xin is here this time to pay New Year's greetings to his aunt, and he is already 16 years old this year. Prepare to tell him a daughter-in-law."

Chen's mother stopped, and turned her head to wipe away her tears.

"He is disabled, how can anyone still look at him?"

"You can't say that."

Li Xin said with a smile: "Brother Chen has injured his arm, but he did a good job last time, and now he is a serious official of the Habayashi Guard. This is a high-ranking official position. How can no one look at it he?"

"To be honest with my aunt, my nephew knows a beautiful girl. I told you about Brother Chen, and she liked it very much. When Brother Chen recovers from his injuries, I will take Brother Chen to meet him in the city. Brother nods, the marriage will be settled, and after the hundred-day national funeral, my nephew will personally preside over the two of them getting married."

The girls Li Xin mentioned were actually the maids in his mansion.

Those maids were all from Jiaofang Secretary. Most of the honest and innocent girls were born in official families. They were exiled into slavery because of the family's troubles. If they could find an innocent family to marry, they would naturally be willing.

As for the matter of slavery, with Li Xin's current status, he can get out of the slavery by showing hello to the Jingzhao Mansion with the deed of sale.

This kind of chasm that is like a natural moat to ordinary people is no longer a problem to Li Xin today.

Mother Chen's voice trembled.

"Li... Is what General Li said true?"

"Of course it's true."

Li Xin nodded with a smile: "When Brother Chen was injured, my nephew told him that he will be on my nephew's head for the rest of his life."

"Although my nephew is not a high-ranking official, he will not break his promise."

Mother Chen burst into tears.

"Then thank you General Li very much. During this time, the woman is worrying about how to find him a wife..."

She shed tears and said: "To tell you the truth, General Li, the woman is ready to spend money to buy him a daughter-in-law from the dealer, so that he can carry on the family line of the old Chen family..."
