Chapter 198: Popularity

These carriages are naturally the family members who were secretly arranged by Li Xin to leave Beijing last year.

In fact, after they left the capital, Taikang Tianzi had sent a lot of people to track down their whereabouts, the Tianmu Prison of the Eight Eunuchs of the Inner Court, and even the Meihuawei had received an order to find the location of Li Xin's family.

Because Li Xin did not put them in the southwest.

The southwest is too conspicuous, after all, at that time, the southwest was tacitly regarded by the imperial court as Li Xin's power, once they were put in the southwest, although the people of the imperial court could not take them away, it was likely to usher in the assassination of Meihuawei.

How did Li Chun die back then, Li Xin still has lingering palpitations.

Li Chun was stabbed to death by his own family in his own home!

This incident made him extremely jealous of the plum blossom guards in the inner court, so after he secretly sent the eldest princess and others out of the capital, he did not send them to the southwest, but sent them back to his hometown in Yongzhou.

Over the years, Li Xin has allowed Shen Gang and others to develop a not weak force in their hometown in Yongzhou, which was originally used to secretly protect Lin Hu and their experiments with gunpowder, but now it just comes in handy.

After Zhong Xiaoxiao, who was with two children, shouted such a brother, he looked at the eldest princess and bowed his head slightly: "Hello sister-in-law." ”

Today's Zhong Xiaoxiao is already a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, although she can't be said to be a country or a city, but her appearance is also middle-class, and because Li Xin has raised her very well over the years, she is very tall, only half a head shorter than Li Xin.

Li Xin looked at Zhong Xiaoxiao and sighed: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Xiao Xiao shook her head.

"It's not hard."

At this time, Xiao Ahan, who was holding in Zhong Xiaoxiao's hand, also recognized her parents, she let go of Zhong Xiaoxiao's hand and trotted towards Li Xin.

"Daddy———"

Li Xin smiled and bent down and hugged the little girl in his arms.

"Do you miss Daddy?"

The little girl is now more than five years old, when she was born, Li Xinfu happened to be idle in the capital, basically at home every day with her daughter, so she and Li Xin are very close, at this time the father and daughter have not seen each other for almost a year, she began to shed tears in Li Xin's arms.

“… I especially want Daddy. ”

Whether it is facing a strong enemy or facing the emperor, the current Li Xin will not have too many mood swings, but the little girl's choked words made his already very strong heart melt almost instantly.

He kissed his daughter hard.

"Let's go, Daddy will take you home and make you something to eat."

The eldest princess on the other side had already picked up her youngest son Li Ping and walked beside Li Xin, and she glanced at Li Xin with some complaints.

"Other people's families like their sons, but you are different, and they spoil the girl to the sky."

Li Xin smiled and didn't say anything more.

Behind the husband and wife, Chen Sixteen has also reunited with Hui Niang, this time the women and children of the Jing'an Hou Mansion can go out of Beijing, including Chen Sixteen's daughter-in-law Hui Niang, as well as one of their sons and a daughter.

During the period of the eldest princess's absence, it was also thanks to Hui Niang who took care of Li Shu and Li Ping, otherwise Zhong Xiaoxiao, a big girl who has not yet married, may not be able to take these two children well.

Li Xin's family and Zhong Xiaoxiao got into their own black carriage, Shen Gang drove for them, while Chen Sixteen and his wife and children sat in the back carriage, and the group entered Beijing from the south gate of the capital and slowly walked towards Yongle Fang.

In the carriage, because of the hard work all the way, Xiao Ahan was already asleep in Li Xin's arms, and Xiao Li Ping cried a few times, and also closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Zhong Xiaoxiao sat next to Li Xin, the brother and sister hadn't seen each other for a year, Li Xin asked her a lot of questions, and she was introverted, and they all answered one by one.

Then she lowered her head a little embarrassed.

"Brother, Zhao let him ......"

"Are you alright?"

Li Xin looked at his sister-in-law and shook his head helplessly: "You, it's been a year since you left the capital, and you still think about him so much." ”

Originally, when they were in the Jing'an Hou Mansion, Zhong Xiaoxiao and Zhao Fang had mutual correspondence, but because Zhong Xiaoxiao went to Yongzhou for refuge, in order to hide his whereabouts, it was naturally impossible to send a letter to Northern Xinjiang, and this connection was broken.

However, Zhao Fang still wrote two letters to her.

Zhong Xiaoxiao lowered his head, his face full of confusion.

The eldest princess, who was holding her son on the side, said, "Xiaoxiao is seventeen years old this year, right?" At her age, I'm about to marry into the Jing'an Hou Mansion, what's strange about Zhao Fang thinking about her? ”

The eldest princess gave Li Xin a blank look.

"She and Zhao Fang have reached the age of getting married, you still write a letter to Zhao Fang and ask him to go back to the capital, let's help prepare for it, and we can get married."

The Marquis of Jing'an also rolled his eyes.

"How old is the child, what are you doing in such a hurry to get married?"

Zhong Xiaoxiao is sixteen years old this year, seventeen years old, this girl was only four or five years old when she followed him, and he brought up her children, so it can be said that she is no different from his daughter, even if she is at the age of getting married in this era, in the heart of the "old father", she is also Budweiser Zachen.

Besides, sixteen or seventeen years old is indeed too young for Li Xin.

The voice of the husband and wife woke up Li Ping in the arms of the eldest princess, after all, she was only more than a year old, and after waking up, she cried, and the eldest princess hurriedly went to coax the child and did not continue to argue.

Li Xin looked at Zhong Xiaoxiao and said slowly: "When I was in Northern Xinjiang a year ago, Zhao Fang had already been a captain in the Zhenbei Army. ”

With that, he took out two letters from his sleeve.

"This is a letter sent to you by Zhao Fang, because it is inconvenient for you in Yongzhou, it was not delivered to you."

Zhong Xiaoxiao nodded, reached out to take the letter, and put it into his sleeve.

"Thank you, brother."

"Yes, I want to thank you."

Li Xin hugged his daughter and said with a smile to her: "Your sister-in-law is not in Yongzhou, thanks to you for taking care of their sister and brother." ”

Zhong Xiaoxiao looked up at Li Xin.

"I'm their little aunt, and I should take care of them."

"And...... Sister Hui takes care of it a lot, and I don't understand many things. ”

While several people were talking, the carriage had already stopped at the gate of the Hou Mansion in Jing'an, and Shen Gang, who was driving, said in a deep voice: "Master Hou, madam, it's time to the Hou Mansion." ”

Li Xin nodded, and walked out of the carriage with Xiao Ahan in his arms.

The little girl was already sleeping shallowly, and the movement was too loud, she woke up all of a sudden, and then saw the four big characters "Jing'an Hou Mansion" in front of her.

Li Xin smiled and put her on the ground.

"Han, we're home."

Xiao Ahan has been away from home for more than a year, and it is still a little strange to see the Hou Mansion, but after all, it is the place where she was born and raised, and she soon cheered and jumped into the Hou Mansion of Jing'an.

The eldest princess also hugged Li Ping and stepped down from the carriage.

In addition, Chen Sixteen and his daughter-in-law Hui Niang also took a child and walked to the door of the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

Li Xin walked in front of Hui Niang and bowed his head slightly: "There is Lao Hui Niang, take care of my children." ”

Hui Niang's face turned red, and she almost knelt directly on the ground.

"Master Hou's words are tormenting the slave family, this is the duty of the slave family......"

She used to be a maid in the Jing'an Hou Mansion, and was married to Chen Sixteen by Li Xin as a matchmaker, and spent half of her life in the Jing'an Hou Mansion, and she had a deep affection for the main family.

Seeing that she was speechless, Li Xin smiled.

"It's all at the door, and I have something to say."

As he spoke, he bent down and picked up the youngest daughter of Chen Sixteen's family, and walked into the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

For a long time before, except for some subordinates in the Jing'an Hou Mansion, only he and Chen Shiliu lived in this huge Hou Mansion, and they couldn't hear the usual children's play, which seemed quite deserted.

Now, the families and children of the Hou Mansion have returned to the capital and returned to the Hou Mansion of Jing'an, and soon the Hou Mansion will be lively.

The deserted house suddenly became popular.
