After taking Zhong Xiaoxiao around a few alleys, Li Xin finally knocked on the door of one of the small courtyards, and it was still Jiu Niang's maid Ping'er who opened the door.

Because this time it was broad daylight, Li Xin didn't have to be as restrained as the last time, he waved his hand to the little girl with a smile.

"Sister Cui is not at home?"

Ping'er nodded stunned.

"At home, at home."

Zhong Xiaoxiao was hiding behind Li Xin, but after hearing this sentence, he immediately stretched out his little head to look at it, and then ran in with a smoke.

Ping'er also recognized her, and when she saw Zhong Xiaoxiao running in, a smile appeared on her face.

"Master Hou, please come in."

Li Xin walked in with his hands, and after entering, he found that Zhong Xiaoxiao had already wrapped his arms around Cui Jiuniang, the once proud shopkeeper of the building, holding a needle and thread in his hand at this time, and was embroidering.

Calculate the time, since Taikang Tianzi ascended the throne, she has been living here, in addition to writing and reading every day, she can only embroider.

Li Xin walked over with a smile, bowed his head and said, "Sister Cui." ”

After Cui Jiuniang saw Zhong Xiaoxiao, her face was full of smiles, and when she heard Li Xin speak, she remembered that there was another person, so she quickly stood up and said to Li Xinwanfu: "Master Hou is here, the concubine is rude." ”

Li Xin shook his head with a smile: "Sister Cui is polite." ”

In fact, if Taikang Tianzi was willing to take her to the palace, Cui Jiuniang's identity would be much higher than Li Xin, but Taikang Tianzi never opened this mouth.

This is not only because of the disparity in the identities of the two people, but also because the mother of Taikang Tianzi, Li Xin's mother-in-law is still there, this noble queen mother is in the harem, and the emperor will never allow the emperor to accept a Qinglou woman as a concubine.

Jiu Niang hurriedly turned to the side and smiled at Li Xin: "Master Hou, come in and speak." ”

Li Xin looked at Zhong Xiaoxiao, who was holding Cui Jiuniang's sleeve tightly, and said with a smile: "Xiaoxiao is still close to Sister Cui, but others have never seen her like this." ”

Zhong Xiaoxiao has not had a mother since she was a child, and Jiuniang took Zhong Xiaoxiao for a long time, and she is a gentle character, so Zhong Xiaoxiao subconsciously treats her as a mother.

Cui Jiuniang touched the little girl's head, her eyes were full of tenderness.

"I haven't seen Xiaoxiao for almost half a year, and I've grown a lot taller."

She asked Ping'er to take two sets of winter clothes out of the house, gestured on Xiaoxiao's body, and then shook her head.

"I may not be able to wear the clothes I made for her in my spare time."

The little girl's eyes were red, and she wiped her tears with her sleeve.

Since she was a child, no one has ever made clothes for her by herself, and Li Xin also goes to the tailor shop to buy ready-to-wear clothes for her on weekdays.

"Tiny can wear it."

Her tone was firm.

Jiuniang smiled gently: "Silly girl, my sister will change your clothes to make you bigger, why are you crying?" ”

"Sister Cui is so nice."

She got into Jiu Niang's arms and refused to come out.

Cui Jiuniang gently patted her back, and after a while, the little girl fell asleep like this.

Li Xin sat quietly on the side.

Jiuniang got up slowly, put the little girl into the bed in the inner room, carefully covered the quilt, and then walked out and poured Li Xin a cup of tea.

"How is Master Hou doing lately?"

Li Xin took the tea with both hands, lowered his head and said with a smile: "It's good, it's just that it's a lot busier than before, and I don't have time to spare." ”

"It's busy."

Jiuniang also poured herself a cup of tea and sighed.

"Being busy means that Master Hou has something to do, unlike a concubine, staying here all day long, like going to prison."

Li Xin frowned slightly: "Sister is bored, you can go out for a walk." ”

Cui Jiuniang smiled gently: "I used to work in the proud building, and many people in the capital know that I went out, didn't I lose face to Your Majesty?" ”

Li Xin sighed.

"Didn't Your Majesty come once?"

Jiu Niang shook her head and sighed.

"I guess I won't see it in this life, but it's okay like this, if you stay here alone, you will be clean."

At the beginning, she made an outer room for the Son of Taikang, just thinking that one day she would be able to enter the Wei Palace, and she would have a place to live in peace for the rest of her life, but His Royal Highness the King of Wei became the Son of Heaven, and the status difference between the two was too great all of a sudden, making it difficult for her to see the former King of Wei again in her life.

Speaking of this, she looked up at Li Xin and said in a low voice: "It's just that Ping'er is still young, it's not good to follow the concubine to work hard here, Master Hou has taken Yu Linwei before, if you are free, see if you can find her a Yu Linlang as a husband." ”

In the Great Jin Dynasty, there has not yet been the deformed trend of governing military affairs with literature in another world, and the military generals of this era are still very statusy, and those who serve as soldiers will not be looked down upon.

And the three guards of the Son of Heaven can be regarded as the elite in the capital, and the treatment of the three guards is much higher than that of the ordinary forbidden army, and there is a regular establishment, so Yu Linlang is quite sought-after in the capital, and there are many yellow flower girls in the market, and the dream is to marry a handsome Yu Linlang.

If a maid can find a Yu Linlang as a husband, it is really a good home.

Li Xin smiled and nodded: "This is easy, Mu Ying still has a lot of bachelors under his hands, one day I will say hello to him and ask him to lead the line." ”

"I'm sorry to trouble Master Hou."

Li Xin sighed: "If Ping'er is also married, there will be no one to take care of my sister here." ”

"The concubine is not seventy or eighty anymore."

Cui Jiuniang smiled and said: "The concubine can take care of herself, but it's really not good, so I'll buy one or two young maids, and after a few years, I will find the Hou Ye to marry them off." ”

Li Xin smiled bitterly: "That little brother has become a matchmaker." ”

Jiuniang covered her mouth and chuckled.

The two chatted for a while, and Li Xin looked at the sky and was about to get up and say goodbye.

"Sister Cui, there is still something on the younger brother, so I will deal with it first, as for Xiaoxiao, she likes it here, so she will live here for a few days, if my sister is annoyed, let Ping'er send her back to Jing'an Hou's Mansion."

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused.

"For safety, I'll send a few people to protect this place."

Today's Li Xin is not the poor boy who sold charcoal in the past, he not only has power, but also enemies, Zhong Xiaoxiao is one of his weaknesses, he must ensure the safety of this girl.

Jiu Niang got up to see each other off, talking as she walked.

"There are dangers everywhere in the capital, Master Hou must be careful."

Li Xin said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry, the little brother's ship is very big now, as long as you pay attention to those strong winds and waves, small winds and small waves, it can't be blown over." ”

Cui Jiuniang sighed with some emotion.

"The little Langjun at the beginning has now become a big man."

Li Xin smiled dumbly.

"It's the same way to eat and sleep, not to be better than others."

"How is the proud building now?"

The proud building is the hard work of this woman for several years, and now although she is no longer doing things in the proud building, she still has some worries.

"The little brother hasn't been there much, so I've left it to others to take care of."

Li Xin said with a smile: "But I can earn a lot of money every month, which should be not bad." ”

"That's good."

While the two of them were talking, Li Xin had already walked to the gate of the courtyard, and Jing Anhou, who was standing at the door, glanced back at Cui Jiuniang, hesitated for a while, and said, "Sister Cui's matter, I want to find a way." ”

"Don't ......"

Jiuniang hurriedly shook her head.

"It's not worth it, this is the life of the concubine."

As she spoke, she smiled.

"It's good now, it's quiet and quiet, the people in the capital gradually forgot about me, but Xiao Langjun and Xiao Xiao still remember me."

"It's good."
