When Zhao Jia was born, Ye Sheng's northern expedition had returned to Beijing, he was born in the Ye family, grew up in the Ye family, and studied with his father since he was a child.

His father was a military advisor who followed Ye Sheng to the north, and he made great efforts in the process of the northern expedition, but because of this relationship, he never became an official, and he thought it was a lifelong regret, so he pinned the common wish of this scholar on Zhao Jia.

Zhao Jia has been studying since he was a child, and then he wants to be an official.

At this time, he has already passed the age and standed, and finally became a county and county, in just half a year, Liyang County has been governed in a good way, at most two or three years, he can really do the peace of the people, but at this time, this young county order that is practicing the ideal, has to endure the pain of cutting love, leaving Liyang to go to the southwest.

At this time, it was still the New Year, and the court officials took a break for 15 days, and the yamen would be restored after the Shangyuan Festival, but on the night of the second day of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Jia walked to the county government of Liyang County, where there was almost no one, and reluctantly hung the county seal of Liyang County on the plaque of the main hall.

Then that night, he took his family into a carriage and left Liyang.

Along the way, it was Shen Gang, who followed Li Xin with him, and personally escorted him.

Zhao Xianling sat in the carriage, still lifted the curtain, and looked at Liyang County, which was getting farther and farther away.

"I don't know if the spring sowing will go well next year, I'm not in Liyang, most of those people are going to oppress the people again."

His wife sat next to him and said softly: "Master, if you are reluctant to Liyang, we will go back ......"

Zhao Jia shook his head slowly.

"There are priorities, of course I can hide in Liyang to be a small county magistrate at this time, but in the old days, when the benefactor begged me, I had to help him."

He patted his wife on the back and sighed slightly.

"Besides, our family and the Jing'an Hou Mansion share weal and woe, the Jing'an Hou Mansion has fallen, let alone the county order for the husband, even our family's life is worried."

The woman, who had been a county lady for half a year, nodded, and her tone was gentle.

"The master is in charge, our mother and son have always been by the master's side."

Zhao Jia smiled.

"The last time I stayed in the southwest for five years, I was able to return to the capital, I thought I could be a parent official for a few years, but I didn't expect to return to the southwest after just half a year of returning to the capital."

"This time, I'm afraid it's another five years."

Zhao Xianling sighed slightly.

"There can be several five years in life."

………………

At the beginning of the new year, the capital is still full of lights, the streets and alleys are full of little dolls wearing new clothes, running crazy on the streets, running tired, taking out the pocket money given by the elders from the waist, buying strings of sugar gourds on the side of the road, three or four dolls get together, eat a mouth full of slimy brown sugar.

There are also many literati and, traveling together.

On the Qinhuai River, painting boats are all over the place, and the capital is still a peaceful scene.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, an old man with gray hair sat in a carriage and entered the city from the west gate of the capital.

The carriage stopped at the gate of Chen Guogong's mansion.

The old man in the carriage glanced at Chen Guogong's mansion through the curtain, and then sighed slightly.

"Don't stop here, go directly to the Jing'an Hou Mansion."

The man driving immediately nodded and drove the carriage to the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

At this time, the gate of the Marquis of Jing'an was deserted.

You must know that today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, which is a good time to pay New Year's greetings, and it is also a good time for officials from the DPRK and China to give gifts to each other openly and honestly without worrying about being sued by the Yushitai, so this time of year is the time when officials move around each other with the most intensive affection.

At this time in previous years, the gate of the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion was not full, but at least it could be called an endless stream, after all, Li Xin was the first-class prince Taibao, and the eldest princess was His Majesty's sister, no matter how you look at it, she is also the object of hugging her thighs.

But this year, at the gate of the Marquis of Jing'an, there is really no one left.

There is no other reason, although everyone doesn't know what Li Xin has done, but he was imprisoned in Dali Temple, but it is the same fact, and the high-level officials of the imperial court, such as those Zaifu in Shangshutai, also probably know what Li Xin has done, and they will ventilate the people below, so in order to avoid trouble, everyone naturally has to stay away from the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

The old man's carriage stopped at the gate of the Jing'an Hou Mansion, and then he stepped down from the carriage, waved his hand to signal the man driving to wait in the car, and he walked towards the gate of the Jing'an Hou Mansion alone.

The gatekeeper of the Hou Mansion, after seeing this old man, immediately bowed his head: "I've seen the general." ”

"The old man is not a great general anymore."

The old man's face was calm: "Go and report it, and say that I want to see Li Changan." ”

The porter nodded respectfully.

"Grandpa, please come in first, and the villain will report it."

Today's Dajin, in addition to those Ji family clans, there is only Ye Ming, the son of the Ye family, who has succeeded Chen Guogong.

After receiving Ye Lan's letter, he quietly returned to Beijing from Ningling, without alarming anyone, and was not prepared to alarm anyone.

Ye Ming nodded lightly: "Okay." ”

In this way, General Ye walked into the Jing'an Hou Mansion, and the subordinates of the Hou Mansion went in at the same time to report, and it didn't take long for Li Xin, who was dressed in a robe, to greet him in person, walked in front of Ye Ming, bowed his head and saluted.

"Junior Brother has seen Senior Brother Ye."

Ye Ming reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and sighed: "Talking in the house." ”

Li Xin nodded silently, led Ye Ming to the backyard, and after walking a few steps, he asked, "Why did Senior Brother come back to Beijing......

Ye Ming's face was calm.

"I received a letter from the fourth child and knew that something happened to you, so I came to the capital to take a look."

"He who came back quietly in a carriage did not alarm anyone."

Li Xin smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid I can't hide it from the eyes and ears of the imperial court." ”

"It doesn't matter."

Ye Ming said lightly: "Let them know that I'm back, it's not necessarily a bad thing." ”

If Ye Lu may not be able to represent the Ye family, the current Chen Guogong in front of him deserves to fully represent the Ye family, and when he said this, it means that he can stand for Li Xin when he returns to the capital.

As he spoke, the two of them had already entered the main hall of the Hou Mansion, Li Xin asked people to light a charcoal fire in the main hall, poured a cup of tea for Ye Ming with his own hands, raised the teacup and said with a wry smile: "Let the senior brother bother." ”

Ye Ming picked up the hot tea, took a sip, and looked at Li Xin.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"Shouldn't you be in Jizhou City, why did you run back to the capital and make such a big disturbance in the capital."

"It's a long story."

"Then take your time."

Ye Ming exhaled a breath of white air and said slowly: "Before my father died, he said that you are the fifth eldest of my Ye family, and my father said so, as a brother, I have always regarded you as a member of the Ye family, and it makes no sense that the Ye family has been wronged, and I, the head of the family, have ignored it." ”

The Marquis of Jing'an exhaled a breath of turbidity.

To be honest, Ye Ming is not Ye Sheng, although he is also Chen Guogong, but in terms of influence and status, he is much inferior to his father Ye Sheng, and he can't really shelter Li Xin.

But the attitude of the Ye family still moved him very much.

"Senior brother, this matter is a big matter, what the younger brother means is that if the Ye family can get involved, don't get involved."

His face was serious.

"Don't hide it from Senior Brother, at this time, in the Jing'an Hou Mansion, except for the subordinates, I am the only one at home."
