Unparalleled Concubine

The biggest part of this is because he is too young.

A young man, no matter what, will not make people feel too reassured. A very straightforward statement, if Li Xin is now 40 years old, with his contributions in the battle for the succession, at this time he will either be in charge of the Imperial Army or enter the army. It is absolutely impossible for the central government to be a minister of Habayashi, who is somewhat marginalized.

That is to say, even if Li Xin hangs out in the imperial court now, there won't be too many people falling for him as a brat, and he can only control the "Habayashi Guard First Department". Instead of doing this, he might as well stay in Qiyang County So, firstly, it will be clean, and secondly, it will not arouse the fear of the new emperor.

Thinking of this, Li Xin said to Dong Cheng: "Eunuch Dong, I escaped from the capital at this pass, it can be said that I gave up a lot of benefits, just to repair my mother's tomb, and now my mother's tomb is only half built. , Li Xin really can't bear to give up halfway, so let me write a memorial to the capital, and Eunuch Dong will forward it to His Majesty on my behalf."

Dong Cheng smiled wryly and said: "Master Li, Your Majesty told our family before you came down, no matter what, I will persuade you to go back. Your Majesty said that if Master Hou doesn't go back, then our family doesn't have to go back."

Li Xin was silent for a while, and then said with a smile: "In this case, father-in-law will live in Yongzhou for a while. Qishan is beautiful and beautiful. After a month or two, we will go back to Beijing together."

Dong Cheng's face showed embarrassment.

"This...is not appropriate..."

"Nothing inappropriate."

Li Xin said calmly: "Today I will write a memorandum for the capital, and I will send Habayashi Wei back to the capital quickly, and explain the father-in-law's affairs by the way. I think His Majesty will take pity on me, so he should not refuse."

Li Xin's current position does not match his achievements.

Therefore, today's Emperor Taikang owes Li Xin a lot of love points. These love points may not be the gold medal for avoiding death, but there is always no problem in resisting several orders.

What's more, Li Xin resisted the decree for the word "filial piety". This kind of thing will be passed down to later generations.

That's why Li Xin was so calm.

Dong Cheng smiled wryly, cupped his hands to Li Xin and said, "Then our family will have the audacity to stay in the hometown of Lord Hou for a few days."

He sighed, with a sincere tone: "I should have kowtowed in front of Mrs. Tai's grave, but we are a handicapped person, fearing that Mrs. Tai's feng shui will be polluted, so I will not go."

If it was an aristocratic family in this era, maybe it would really not allow an eunuch to kowtow in front of his ancestor's grave, but Li Xin did not have such a chain of contempt, he shook his head at Dong Cheng: "Li Xin and his father-in-law friends, father-in-law is willing Go, then go and offer incense sticks to my mother."

This sentence is not to win people's hearts, Li Xin really doesn't mind these things.

Dong Cheng was quite moved in his heart, but he still shook his head again and again, and insisted: "Don't dare to go, dare not go, where is the residence of Grandfather Hou, we just go to the Tai Furen's spiritual throne to burn incense, dare not go to the grave... "

Li Xin was stunned.

Although he is from Qiyang County, there is no ancestral house in Qiyang County. The only one that can be regarded as an ancestral house is the thatched cottage.

Hearing Dong Cheng's words, Li Xin was moved in his heart.

He probably won't return to this small county in the future. The Jing'an Hou Mansion in Yongle Square in the capital will be his future home, but no matter what, Qiyang County is his hometown after all, and perhaps it should be set up in Qiyang County. A house, so that I have a place to come from.

Thinking of this, Li Xin shook his head and said: "Li Xin was poor since he was a child, and he lived in a farmer's family in the mountains. He never had any ancestral house, but after his father-in-law mentioned it, he wanted to buy a house in this county."

Dong Cheng looked around the house and said in surprise, "This garden doesn't belong to Lord Hou?"

"This is a rich family in Qiyang County, I'm just borrowing."

Dong Cheng laughed and said: "It's easy, just find the master's family, spend a few tens of pennies, just buy it."

This is the biggest difference between Li Xin and the people of this era. Although he occupies a high position, he does not have the habit of bullying others, while Dong Cheng is quite different. As long as they are taller than others, they will naturally bully others .

In other words, the reason why they climbed so hard was to bully others.

The garden of the Qi family is very exquisitely repaired, even in a small place like Qiyang County, it would cost at least two thousand guan to complete it, but Dong Cheng just wanted to buy it after saying dozens of guan.

Li Xin shook his head, and said slowly: "Eunuch Dong, Li Xin is also from Yongzhou, and he has no habit of bullying the villagers."

Dong Cheng cupped his hands towards Li Xin, and said with emotion: "Your Majesty is so noble, our family admires him."

"Since Lord Hou doesn't want to buy it, it's easy. Let the local yamen recruit some people to build a Hou's mansion in Qiyang County."

Li Xin looked a little displeased.

"Eunuch Dong, please don't worry about Li's private affairs...you have to worry about it."

Dong Cheng could see that Li Xin was not very happy, so he got up quickly, bowed to Li Xin and said, "Master Hou, don't get me wrong, our family is only thinking about Master Hou, and has no other intentions..."

He said so in his mouth, but he secretly considered it in his heart.

It seems that this young Marquis, a good reputation is more important than a good money...

Li Xin shook his head: "Eunuch Dong, don't be so polite."

While the two were talking, Shen Gang came in from the outside, bent over to Li Xin and said, "Your Majesty, the prefect of Yongzhou, and the magistrate of Qiyang County are all waiting outside. They want to meet the angel..."

These officials have really sharp noses...

Li Xin shook his head helplessly, and smiled at Dong Cheng: "Eunuch Dong, I came to see you, go out and have a look?"

Dong Cheng, who was somewhat short and chubby, smiled and saluted Li Xin: "Master Hou, please."

Li Xin shook his head slightly: "I have nothing to do with those who come to see the angel. Father-in-law will go first."

Only then did Dong Cheng walk out.

As soon as he walked out, Shen Gang, the captain of the Habayashi Guard, bowed to Li Xin and said, "Master Hou, Mu Lang is about to take a humble position and tell Lord Hou that his father is here..."

Only then did Li Xin change his expression slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Go and tell Mu Ying to let them wait for me at the Tongfu Inn, and I'll go there as soon as I'm free."

"Yes."

Shen Gang left quickly, and Li Xin also walked to the gate of Qiyuan with his hands behind his back. He saw Sun Quanshi, the magistrate of Yongzhou, and Zhou Yang, the magistrate of Qiyang County, both bowed their knees to Eunuch Dong, and the smiles on their faces were barely enough to bloom.

For these local officials, the inner court officials like Dong Cheng are no different from the officials of the official department. As long as Dong Cheng speaks in front of the emperor, they can save them from fighting for several years or even ten years!

Seeing Li Xin coming out, the two magistrates came over and bowed to Li Xin again.

"Mr. Li, my servant is hosting a banquet at the Drunken Spring Building today. I will invite the angels. Please also give me a favor and come over to have a meal together."

Li Xin chuckled.

"Ben Hou has a stomachache, so I won't go..."

Chapter 359

Dong Cheng was dragged by two parents and officials to Zuichunlou for a social gathering, depending on the situation, he would be invited for at least three or four days.

Fortunately, something was missing under Dong Cheng, otherwise many young girls in Yongzhou would suffer.

Regarding these, Li Xin was too lazy to care about it. Whether Sun Quanshi and Zhou Yang gave Dong Cheng money or things, he didn't bother to ask.

For him, these matters are already trivial matters, but the matters in southern Xinjiang are the major ones.

After Dong Cheng and others left, Li Xin did not rush to the Tongfu Inn, but closed the road in the evening before getting into the carriage and sneaking to the back door of the Tongfu Inn.
