Unparalleled Concubine

"As long as our people leave Mianzhu, Jincheng will definitely send people to take Mianzhu back. General Ye will not let Lord Hou support Jiange."

"That's why I said wait for the news."

Zhao Jia asked with a smile: "Now that the situation in the Southwest has basically settled down, what will Lord Hou do after returning to Beijing?"

Li Xin frowned slightly.

"It's not something I can control, it depends on what the emperor wants."

"In the Southwest War, although General Ye was the main general, but Hou Ye, you crossed Motianling and went straight to the hinterland of the Southwest. In terms of credit, you have actually surpassed General Ye. When you return to the capital..."

Zhao Jia glanced at Li Xin again.

"If Marquis, you are old enough, you can work in the Governor's Mansion."

"Even if Lord Hou is at this age, all the imperial guards in Gyeonggi should be handed over to Lord Hou."

Lord Jing'an was expressionless.

"Brother You'an, when it comes to matters in the court, we must not only think about progress, but also think about retreat. If we return to the capital smoothly, I will ask His Majesty to take a few years off."

Before Li Xin came to the Southwest, he was already a second-rank general of the imperial army. According to his achievements this time, he could become a first-rank or even a first-rank official after he returned, and become the top group of people in the court.

But Li Xin is too young after all, if he is really too flamboyant, the past two years can certainly be glorious, but in the future it will definitely add trouble to himself.

It can't be said that he is the master of high achievements, but he will definitely attract the jealousy of others.

Of course, these are things for later, and there is still a long way to go to solve the Southwest issue.

Moreover, for Li Xin, the key to the southwest issue is not whether he can help take back southern Xinjiang, but whether he can make the general of the Zhu Kingdom pay for his mistakes.

The account between him and Li Shen still has to be settled bit by bit.

However, there was obviously no way to say these words to Zhao Jia in detail.

Zhao You'an sighed, and said with emotion: "This is the reason why you, Lord Hou, were able to rise to the top of the court, but I can only stay in Chen Guogong's mansion to accompany you. If you go to that big temple to be an official, you may die one day. I don't know how I died."

Lord Jing'an curled his lips.

"Concentrate on your work and less flattering."

……

The two were making dumplings while talking. Li Xin was making dumplings conscientiously when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhao Jia's "work".

Hou Jing'an frowned suddenly.

"Brother You'an, why don't you go boil water..."

Zhao Jia had just found the feeling of making dumplings, and he was a little dissatisfied when he heard the words, and asked, "Why did you ask the subordinates to boil water?"

Lord Jing'an pointed to the group of strange shapes in front of Zhao Jia with a disgusted expression.

"Brother You'an, these works of yours remind me of a sentence."

"What?"

"Alas, I am so ugly..."

Chapter 539 Listen to Hou Ye's dispatch!

This New Year's Eve, apart from the ugly dumplings made by Zhao Jia, other parts of Li Xin's life are still very happy.

After the dumplings were cooked, he, Zhao Jia, Ye Mao, and He Song sat around the small stove, each holding a bowl.

This is very particular.

Zhao Jia is his own person in Jing'an Hou Mansion, so he naturally wants to have dinner together, and Ye Mao and He Song are both considered to be members of the Ye family, Li Xin called them over, meaning that he does not treat the Ye family as outsiders.

At this time, when this Captain He Du stormed Mianzhu for the first time, he was seriously injured. The injuries on his body have not healed at this moment, but when the Ye family will sit next to Li Xin with a bowl of dumplings , I was still a little excited.

It stands to reason that even if Ye Mao is qualified to have this New Year's Eve dinner with Jing An Hou, he, the general of the Ye family, is not qualified, but this young Hou Ye called him over, and this is for He Song. face.

For these warriors, nothing is more important than face, and He Song can remember this meal for a lifetime.

While holding the bowl to eat, Li Xin breathed out his steam and said, "After this night, it will be three years of Taikang. Everyone eat more dumplings, and you will be blessed."

In Li Xin's hometown in his previous life, during Chinese New Year, dumplings represent good luck.

The little father-in-law held a bowl of dumplings and ate them in two or three mouthfuls. The grandson of the Ye family rubbed his belly with his hands and smiled at Li Xin: "Are these dumplings made by my uncle himself? "

"Not at all."

Li Xin glanced at Zhao Jia, and said calmly: "Some ugly things are made by Brother You'an."

Zhao Jia just lowered his head and ate, pretending not to hear.

Ye Mao gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Among the military generals in the capital, when it comes to cooking, my uncle is the best."

"Learn."

Li Xin said with a smile: "It's because of my cooking skills that I got a princess's wife."

Ye Mao was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he took a cautious look at Li Xin.

"Uncle Master..."

"At the beginning, the late emperor wanted to marry me a princess, but my family didn't agree..."

……

Li Xin choked.

Indeed, with Ye Mao's status, it is not difficult to marry the princess. First, Emperor Chengde tried every means to let the descendants of Li and Ye's family marry the princess, whether it was Ye Lin, Ye Mao or the little prince Li Chun from the Pingnan Houfu. Well, the Emperor Chengde even tried to let them be sons-in-law, but in the end they failed.

At the position of Li Ye's family, the status of a son-in-law is actually a burden for the son-in-law.

This is also clear to Li Xinxin, but he didn't react just now.

Even for the current Lord Jing'an, the status of this son-in-law may not be a good thing.

However, Li Xin and Princess Qinghe could barely be regarded as "free love", so he didn't have any conflicts in his heart.

Seeing that Li Xin stopped talking, the young man coughed and said in a low voice, "Master, did I... say something wrong?"

Originally, the little father-in-law was very uncomfortable with this young man who was a few years younger than himself suddenly becoming his uncle, but after more than a year of getting along, the word "uncle teacher" has become more and more fluent .

With a dark face, Li Xin poured himself another bowl of dumplings, and said in a muffled voice, "It's nothing, you're right."
