Unparalleled Concubine

In fact, Zhao Fang has read many more books than Li Xin over the years. Although he called Li Xin every teacher, Li Xin really had nothing to teach him, so he could only throw him into the book bag. Zhao Jia is gone.

Now, Mu Ying has completely controlled the Hanzhou Army, and the Hanzhou Mansion has become more stable. The...remnants of the Pingnan Army have also been properly arranged, so there is no need for Zhao Jia to stay in the capital.

In fact, after the Chinese New Year, Zhao Jia and Zhao Fang were already on their way back to Beijing. They were supposed to arrive at this time, but Zhao Jia fell ill on the way, and they were delayed for some days. To this day, I have not returned to Beijing.

But even so, counting the days, it will be two days before Zhao Jia arrives in the capital.

Li Xin's promise to Zhao Jia at the beginning was that Zhao Jia would stay in Jing'an Marquis Mansion for another two years. After two years, Zhao Jia started his official career as a county magistrate. However, things in the southwest were chaotic, and Zhao Youan There was an abrupt delay of three years.

Hearing Li Xin's tone, old man Ye also knew that he wanted to ask him for someone, and he would never come back anyway. The old man snorted and said, "This matter is so soft, you owe me a debt of gratitude!" Favor."

Li Xin looked at the old man with a smile.

"Master Ye is too far-fetched to say that. Disciple and Ye family have long been indistinguishable from each other. There is no human or inhumane relationship. The affairs of the Ye family are the disciple's affairs."

Ye Cheng shook his head slowly.

"That's not what I said. No matter how close you are, it won't make you suffer. Otherwise, no matter what it is, it won't last long."

"You are the apprentice of this old man. It is only natural to be filial, but you don't owe the rest of the Ye family anything. You can do what you want. Although the old man wants you to take care of the Ye family in the future, you can't be unreasonable."

The old man sat up and let out a slow breath.

"When I was farming in Ningling when I was a child, my mother taught me this principle. Her old man said that the grain should be clearly divided between brothers, otherwise, after a long time, no matter how good the brothers are, they will fight."

Old man Ye is already 80 years old this year, and his mother has passed away for an unknown number of years, but when the somewhat irritable Ye Cheng mentioned his mother, his tone was rare and gentle.

Li Xin said with a smile: "Master Ye has great wisdom."

"Great asshole wisdom."

Old man Ye rolled his eyes in disdain.

"I'm getting old, I've wasted so many years in this world, I have to understand some truths, otherwise wouldn't this life be in vain?"

"What the old man told you is passed down from the ancestors. The old man has experienced it personally for decades, and he has also served the flowers and plants for decades before he pondered the clear truth."

Li Xin stood up from the bench, bowed deeply to Old Man Ye with a solemn expression.

"The disciple has been taught."

Ye Cheng nodded in satisfaction, and finally said slowly: "It's been five years since you came back from the southwest, and you've almost covered up the edge that should be covered."

"From today onwards, you have to reach out for what is yours, otherwise if you keep refusing to take it, others will think you are weak and deceitful, and they will think that those things are not yours."

Li Xin blinked at Old Man Ye, then smiled and said, "Master Ye means..."

"The prince is not young."

The old man hesitated for a moment, and said: "You are the prince's Taibao, you are the prince's serious teacher, if you should get close, you should get close, and let the teacher's title be put to death."

"The prince is the eldest son."

In these years, although Li Xin was granted the crown prince's protection, he actually never visited the East Palace once. Even when the prince went to his house, he received him as if he were a relative, and he was not particularly close to the prince.

After hearing what old man Ye said, Li Xin smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty is in the prime of his life, if Master Ye's words spread, he will be sent to prison."

The old man curled his lips in disdain,

"Squat and squat, I am old, afraid of them?"

Lord Jing'an shook his head helplessly.

This old man is good in everything, but he has a bad temper.

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

The eighth year of Taikang entered the end of March.

The supplies of the Military Weapons Supervision have been delivered bit by bit. Every day, people from Habayashi Wei Youying sent people to the Military Weapons Supervision to check and collect this batch of ordnance, and then packed them into wooden boxes one by one, ready to be sent to Yunzhou .

During this process, the people from the Ministry of War always wanted to intervene, but they were ruthlessly rejected by Habayashi Wei. Therefore, these people somewhat hated Li Xin.

However, as long as these memorials entered Weiyang Palace, they often disappeared without any news.

The crowd at Yushitai was furious, and at one point they had the urge to kneel at the gate of Weiyang Palace to remonstrate.

But at the same time, the Marquis of Jing'an, who was in the center of the conflict, did not stay at home honestly, let alone in the Yamen of the Ministry of War. He came to the west gate of the capital in Chen Shiliu's carriage and waited quietly With the arrival of old friends.

He waited here early in the morning, until it was close to noon, and on the official road to the west, there was an ordinary blue carriage, walking slowly.

This carriage is very crude, it can only be regarded as the most common carriage, and the driver is a young man of fourteen or fifteen years old.

Li Xin was sitting in the carriage of the Jing'an Hou Mansion, squinting his eyes at this unremarkable carriage.

Behind this carriage, there are at least twenty or thirty people secretly protecting it.

Finally, the carriage was approaching, and Li Xin put his hands in his wide sleeves, and slowly went up to him.

When the young man driving saw Li Xin, he waved to Li Xin from a distance, and after getting off the car, he ran towards Li Xin and knelt down in the dust.

"Meet the teacher."

Li Xin glanced at the tanned young man lightly, and said, "You don't need to be so polite, get up."

Zhao Fang immediately stood up and stood behind Li Xin with a smile.

Li Xin looked up at the carriage, and then smiled slightly: "Brother You'an, are you timid because of your hometown?"

The curtain of the cyan carriage was slowly opened, and a man in white, about 30 years old, stepped down and saluted Li Xin in a respectful manner.

"I've seen Lord Li Hou."

Li Xin pulled his sleeve with a smile, looked Zhao Jia up and down a few times, and then laughed.

"Brother You'an, I haven't seen you for a long time. You seem to have gained a lot of weight."

Chapter 677 Disciple is still brother-in-law

The "Handicap" of the Jing'an Hou Mansion has expanded a lot in recent years, but there is no single person in the mansion. Generally, Li Xin makes up his own mind and then explains everything. Sometimes he is a little at a loss. Fortunately, Zhao If Jia is willing to help him, things in the Southwest will go much smoother in the past few years.

Now counting his age carefully, Zhao Jia is already 31 years old, and these five years are the most energetic five years in his life, all of which were handed over to the Jing'an Hou Mansion, so Li Xin is very grateful to him.

It is worth mentioning that this guy is getting fatter because he is middle-aged. He looks a lot fatter than he did five years ago. Even though he is still dressed in white, he doesn't have the elegant feeling of the past. .

Hearing this, Zhao Jia gave a wry smile, and said, "Master Hou made fun of it, it's inevitable to grow some flesh when you get older."
