Returning to Yongzhou has always been an obsession in Li Xin's heart.

Or is it another Li Xin's obsession, but now, the two Li Xin have long been indistinguishable from each other, and even Li Xin himself can't tell whether he is the five good young men who grew up under the red flag or the unlucky bastard of this world.

The only thing that is certain is that I must go back and see my mother, and build a decent grave for the poor woman.

I also want to bring my uncle back to Yongzhou.

Originally, this was something that Li Xin should have done immediately after becoming an official, but some time ago he was caught in the battle for the heir and couldn't get out, until now, the dust has settled on the throne, and Li Xin finally has the opportunity to return to his hometown.

In Weiyang Palace, Li Xin met Emperor Taikang very smoothly.

After listening to Li Xin's explanation, the Son of Heaven sighed: "Brother Xin'er was lonely in his early years, and I also heard about it, and now that I am an official, I should return to my hometown to do my filial piety to my mother." ”

He opened his mouth and asked, "When is Brother Xin going to leave Beijing?" ”

"It's about the fourth and fifth days of the new year, and after dealing with the affairs of the capital, I set off."

The Son of Heaven was silent for a while, and said, "The matter of the eldest brother ......"

Li Xin said in a low voice: "The ministers will tell their subordinates to continue to look at the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, but depending on the situation, it is unlikely that the crown prince will be abolished in Beijing, and His Majesty will use the Tianmu Prison ...... Zhu Rongsi's people went to Shu County to check. ”

Zhu Rong Division, that is, when the Son of Heaven was still the King of Wei last year, an intelligence agency established with the proceeds of Li Xin's Zhurong wine, at the beginning, it was not the same, there were only twenty or thirty people, but later the number of people increased, but Li Xin did not participate in the follow-up formation work, and now he is not very clear how many people there are in Zhu Rongsi.

The Son of Heaven nodded slowly: "That's it." ”

Saying that, the Son of Heaven got up and walked in front of Li Xin, pulled Li Xin's sleeve, and said slowly: "Brother Xin'er has been wronged before, and this time I will go back to be more beautiful, I promise you to bring five hundred Yulin Guards, one is to protect your safety, and the other is to support you with a little pomp." ”

Li Xin shook his head and said: "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, two hundred people are enough, Yu Linwei still has to defend the capital, and he can't go out on a large scale because of the minister's private affairs." ”

The Son of Heaven nodded with a smile: "Then there are two hundred people, and when I turn around, I will give a note to the Ministry of Rites, and let the Ministry of Rites give Brother Xin'er's mother a second-grade lady of the county." ”

Li Xin's biggest official position now is the right attendant of the military department of the third grade, it stands to reason that even if his mother is given an edict, it should be the third grade, and the Son of Heaven has added a product, which shows that the favor is very heavy.

Li Xin knelt down respectfully.

"Minister, thank you for your kindness."

The Son of Heaven patted Li Xin's shoulder and sighed: "Go early and return early, don't be nostalgic for your hometown, I still have a lot of places to rely on Brother Xin." ”

"Yes."

……………………

After leaving the palace, Li Xin brought two jars of toast and came to Chen Guogong's mansion to pay New Year's greetings to Ye Sheng, the old prince.

Now it's different from the past, in the past, it was difficult for Li Xin to see the old man, but this time he visited, Ye Lan led Ye Mao out to greet him personally.

Chen Guogong's Mansion even opened the middle door.

Generally speaking, only distinguished guests will open the middle door, with the status of Chen Guogong's mansion, only the Son of Heaven or the clan is qualified, and now they open the middle door for Li Xin, which is enough to give face.

After meeting, Li Xin bent over Ye Lan and clenched his fists: "Ye Hou Ye has a healthy New Year." ”

Then he smiled at Ye Mao: "Little grandfather has a healthy New Year." ”

This Marquis of Ningling took Li Xin's hand and said with a smile: "What is the Hou not Hou, Brother Li has to make fun of it, come in." ”

Ye Mao also said in a snort: "That's it, Brother Li is still so outside." ”

Ye Xuan's face darkened, and he glared back at his nephew.

"There are no rules, haven't you seen me and Brother Li have a relationship, you will call him uncle in the future!"

The little grandfather, Ye Mao, coughed a few times and gritted his teeth angrily.

He's obviously older than Li Xin, right?

However, Ye Houye didn't care what this eldest nephew thought, and introduced Li Xin into the courtyard, and said with a smile: "I didn't see Brother Li in the capital yesterday, I heard that Brother Li disappeared after coming out of the palace, I don't know where he went?" ”

Li Xin shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"I went to southern Xinjiang last year, and many Pao Ze died, and I felt sorry for them, so I went to see Pao Ze's family yesterday."

Ye Lan patted Li Xin's shoulder and sighed.

"Brother Li is still young, it would be good to see more of this kind of thing in the future."

Ci is not in charge of the army, the Ye family is a general, although Ye Lan has not really been on the battlefield, but he has been exposed to it since he was a child, and he still has some experience in these things.

Li Xin shook his head.

"That's it, don't talk about this, where is the old man, I'll go to his old man's house to pay a New Year's greeting."

"Inside."

Ye Lan smiled and said, "Brother Li didn't come yesterday, the old man was a little unhappy, and scolded you for having no conscience." ”

Li Xin followed Ye Lan to the backyard of Chen Guogong's mansion, and after seeing Ye Sheng, Li Xin was about to kneel down to pay New Year's greetings to Old Man Ye.

During the Chinese New Year, it is normal for the younger generation to kowtow to the elders, Ye Sheng has helped Li Xin a lot during this time, and he is considered Li Xinzheng's elder.

However, it is not easy to say whether the elder generation is still two generations older.

Anyway, Ye Lan is now asking the little grandfather Ye Mao to call Li Xin his uncle......

Before he knelt down, Ye Sheng helped him up, and said with a smile: "Let's forget the New Year, don't kowtow, don't kowtow." ”

This time, it was Ye Lan's turn to look bad.

Ye Mao gritted his teeth even more.

In a blink of an eye, he was a generation shorter.

After sitting down, Li Xin put down the Zhurong wine in his hand, and said a few auspicious words to Ye Sheng, and only after Ye Lan and Ye Mao had withdrawn, Li Xin said to the old man: "Old man, the younger generation will leave the capital in a few days and return to his hometown." ”

Ye Sheng frowned.

"At the beginning of the new dynasty, it is the time to take benefits, why did you leave the capital at this time?"

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, now the Chengde Dynasty is in the past, the Taikang Dynasty is full of cakes, just waiting for a group of tigers and wolves to divide it, at this time away from the capital, it is really not a good thing.

Li Xin smiled: "If the moon is full, you will lose, and it is not a good thing to take too much, this time I went home, firstly, to repair my mother's grave, and secondly, to avoid the limelight." ”

Ye Sheng clapped his hands and praised: "Good knowledge, good knowledge, you can have this insight at this age, at least Zhang Qu's position in this life." ”

Li Xin shook his head and smiled: "The juniors only think that one day, they can sit in the position of the old man." ”

Ye Sheng blew his beard and glared.

"The old man has been locked up in this state mansion for thirty years, what's the use of having a high status? Don't learn from me, don't learn from me. ”

Li Xin said a few more words to the old man, and before parting, he remembered that it was, so he stood up and saluted Ye Sheng: "Old man, the younger generation is eighteen years old after the New Year, and he can barely take the table words, and the younger generations have no elders in Beijing, please give the old man the words." ”

"Pick a name."

Ye Sheng's eyes lit up, and he smiled: "This old man is the best." ”

While counting his fingers, he said: "There is a letter in your name, faith is to keep promises, the ancients have clouds, a promise is a thousand gold, it is better to ......"

Old man Ye slapped his thigh.

"Why don't you just call it a daughter?"

Plum...... Daughter?

Li Xin was silent for a long time, then glanced at this old Qiu Ba and turned around silently.

Damn, I'm in the wrong place, I forgot that this old guy is illiterate!
