Unparalleled Concubine

After the carriage drove for an hour, Ye Lin and Hou Jingde reined in their horses at Shili Pavilion outside the capital, which was unforgettable.

Hou Jingde yelled in a low voice.

"Brother Li is really not loyal enough. He didn't say hello when he left. Let us see him off."

Ye Lin narrowed his eyes and looked to the southwest, but didn't speak.

Chapter 344 People in the Qishan Mountains

The Marquis of Jing'an has left Beijing!

The news soon began to spread wildly in the capital.

Anyone who has some understanding of the imperial court can't understand why the famous man in front of His Majesty wants to leave the capital at this time.

You know, the current Ministry of War is managed by Chen Zhong, the left servant, and this Chen Zhong is clearly a member of the Qi Wang Party, that is, a group of people who will be liquidated sooner or later. As long as Jing An, the right servant of the Ministry of War, Hou stayed in the capital for a while longer. Although it is unlikely that he will become Minister of the Ministry of War, it is not impossible to hold the Ministry of War in his hands!

At that time, it will be the official of the Six Departments...

Many people don't say that even if they fumbled in the court until they were 80 years old, they would not be able to find this position, and that young Lord Hou left the capital in such a cool way!

In Jinling City, there are voices of discussion everywhere.

Some people even secretly said that today's world can't tolerate people, so they drove the young Lord Hou out of the capital.

Everyone in the capital knew that Li Xin was gone, and the Pingnan Hou Mansion naturally also received the news.

At this time, this Marquis of Pingnan was hiding in the mansion of Pingnanhou, flipping through books with Mrs. Yu. Although the mansion of Pingnanhou was not a scholarly family, from Li Zhijie to Li Xin, they were all people who liked to read. There are over ten thousand volumes of books in my collection, and I need to move them out frequently to dry them.

Madam Yu is much more normal now, she no longer keeps chanting Li Chun's name, but quietly helps Li Shen flip through the books together.

This is one of the joys of the scholar-bureaucrat's home.

However, a servant hurried in and disturbed the leisure time of the couple.

"Master Hou, according to the news, that Marquis of Jing'an, Li Xin...has left Beijing."

Li Shen opened the damp book to see the sun, and said calmly, "Where did he go?"

The servant bowed his head and said, "It is said... that he went back to his hometown to visit relatives."

"Going home...to visit relatives?"

The movement of Li Shen's hands stopped.

He had an extra son for no reason. Li Shen naturally sent someone to Yongzhou during this period of time to inquire about the news of Li Xin's mother and son over the years. He knew that Li Xin was also unaccompanied in Yongzhou. What are you doing back in Yongzhou?"

The servant said in a low voice, "Say yes... say it's repairing my mother's grave."

"Your Majesty issued an imperial decree to seal Marquis Jing's mother as the wife of Erpin County, and asked the Ministry of Households to allocate [-] official funds to repair the tomb of Marquis Jing's mother."

"Madam Erpin County?"

Madam Yu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly broke out.

She was born in the Zheng family, and she is a well-off family. She married into Pingnanhou's mansion when she was a teenager, and she has been trembling for more than 20 years. Because Li Shen came from the Yipin Zhu Kingdom, she also had a Yipin wife. title.

However, this first-rank lady was cut off by one rank because she angered the Emperor Chengde!

In other words, this noble daughter from the Zheng family, the mistress of the Pingnan Hou Mansion, is only a second-rank lady now!

Madam Yu clenched her fists fiercely, her nails digging into her flesh.

"Why is she?"

Madam Yu still didn't say the rest of the sentence.

A bastard, why should he?

After Li Chun died, her mind became a little abnormal, and now she has transferred most of her resentment to Li Xin. She felt that this bastard had killed her mother and her son.

Relatively speaking, Li Shen was much calmer.

He didn't care about him for a long time. As long as the Southern Army of [-] Ping is still in southern Xinjiang, even if Li Shen is guarding the city gate, as long as he coughs lightly, the emperor will also consider what his cough means. !

What he cares about is what Li Xin will do in Yongzhou.

Yongzhou is not far from Shu County, otherwise when Li Shen was injured, he would not have gone to Yongzhou to recuperate.

The Marquis of Pingnan frowned deeply.

"Go and ring the clock."

After a while, Zhong Ming, who was also from Shu County, bowed to Li Shen in salute.

Li Shen pulled him aside and asked, "Can you still go out?"

Zhong Ming shook his head: "I'm afraid, the little ones are also being watched by people, those people have sharp eyes."

Li Shen shook his head slightly: "Can you send a message?"

"can."

"Pass a letter to Li Yan, tell him that Li Xin has gone to the southwest, and tell him to be more careful."

Zhong Ming raised his head and glanced at Li Shen, then lowered his head and said, "Young one, let's do it."

..............................

Last year, Li Xin followed his uncle all the way north from Qiyang County, and after a lot of hard work, he managed to reach the capital.

I don't remember how long I walked, I just remember that I went from summer to winter.

That's why Li Xin, who was dressed in unlined clothing, appeared in the cold winter of the capital.

At that time, no matter whether it was my uncle or another Li Xin, I firmly believed in one thing, that is, after arriving in the capital, not to mention being rich and powerful, I would have a bite to eat, so that I would not be bullied or hide from others. Inside Qishan.

But the ruthless reality severely crushed the young man's will.

That Li Xin, although not particularly strong, grew up in Qishan, and suffered from all kinds of hardships. In any case, he would not have frozen to death in the ruined temple overnight. The reason why he died is very important. Partly because he didn't want to live anymore.

And one year later, this year, Li Xin, who has changed his identity, is sitting in a carriage drawn by two horses, wearing a pure black cloak, playing backgammon with a little girl.

In the stove in the carriage, there were pieces of animal charcoal burning slowly.

This is genuine animal charcoal.

It was given by the emperor from the palace to Li Xin for the winter, so it is not for nothing.
