Chapter 375: The Culprit

People are not grass and trees, as long as they are people, they will have feelings, logically speaking, no matter what Li Xin's mother is, the Xiao family should not be so indifferent, but this era is like this, the etiquette and rules are strict, but the Xiao family is a scholarly family, Xiao Mingli and the eldest son Xiao Xiuqi are both talented and famous.

It is this layer of talent and fame that makes the Xiao family pay special attention to the rules, and also makes them ignore Xiao Qinglan.

To be honest, if the Xiao family could stick to the rules and ignore Li Xin until now, although Li Xin would not ignore them, he would not hate them so much in his heart.

After all, they are also limited by the times, and their minds are imprisoned by this era.

However, after these Xiao families knew that Li Xin was developed, they still had to take the initiative to post it and take the initiative to recognize their mother, which shows that the so-called etiquette and rules are not so important in their hearts.

That's why Li Xin hates the Xiao family so much.

Xiao Mingli smiled bitterly and said: "The matter has come to this point, the Xiao family doesn't dare to ask Hou Ye to take care of it anymore, they just want to explain to Hou Ye." ”

After a pause, he continued.

"In addition, after the Hou Ye is gone, Qinglan will have no descendants in Qiyang County, the old man means, can you celebrate the New Year's festival and let the grandchildren of the Xiao family burn some paper for Qinglan......

Old man Xiao lowered his head and said with some trepidation: "Don't worry, Master Hou, the Xiao family will not dare to have anything to do with Master Hou again..."

Li Xin was silent.

Xiao Mingli let out a long sigh.

"During this time, the old man thought carefully about what he had done over the years, and found that he was indeed a little sorry for Qinglan, but the old man was just angry that she was disobedient and wanted her to go home by herself, so he ......"

Li Xin took a deep breath and said: "I already have my mother's spiritual seat, and her old man will not lack any incense, but the tomb is there, and it is not impossible for you to burn paper, but only the younger generations of the Xiao family are allowed to go, and my mother should not want to see you." ”

Xiao Mingli hurriedly bowed his head and said, "This nature, this nature." ”

Li Xin turned around with his hands down.

"Besides, you are not allowed to use my mother's reputation to do evil in Qiyang County, Benhou has left someone in Qiyang County, if the news spreads to the capital, the Xiao family will not just change their surname!"

Li Xin turned around and stepped into the carriage, and the convoy slowly walked away.

Leave the Xiao family and stand on both sides of the road to watch.

After the convoy went away, Xiao Zhi, the second son of the Xiao family, slowly walked behind Xiao Mingli.

"Father, what did he say?"

Xiao Mingli nodded slowly: "He allowed the juniors of the Xiao family to go to Qinglan's grave." ”

Xiao Zhiping let out a sigh of relief and said in a low voice: "Only this level of relationship is there, if someone in Yongzhou Mansion wants to move our family, they have to consider this Marquis Li, and this time we finally found a backer for our family." ”

Xiao Mingli let out a long sigh.

"This relationship is too thin, he forced our family to change their surname, and others can see at a glance that he is not compatible with our family."

Xiao Zhiping smiled bitterly: "It's already very good to be able to redeem this level, if he doesn't nod, the Xiao family may not be able to stay in Qiyang County." ”

If the people of the Xiao family can't go to Xiao Qinglan's grave, then maybe some people in Qiyang County will think that the Xiao family has a grudge against that Jing'an Hou, and they will curry favor with Li Xin by suppressing it.

This person is likely to be Zhou Yang, the county magistrate.

Xiao Mingli stood in place and was silent for a long time, then slowly turned around and said to his second son: "Zhiping, do you know what he just said to his father? ”

Xiao Zhiping shook his head and said, "The child is far away and can't hear it." ”

Xiao Mingli took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice: "He said...... He is the first Marquis of Jing'an! ”

The old man's eyes were very complicated.

"In just over a year, from a poor boy in Qiyang County, he has become a Hou Ye and a ......concubine of the Great Jin Dynasty."

Xiao Mingli smiled bitterly: "This kind of character could have made our Xiao family a family, or even a family that could gain a foothold in the capital, but we missed it." ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Mingli's expression was solemn.

"Zhiping, you're right, we can't afford to offend him."

"From today on, the family has changed to the surname Xiao, the old man knows that some people will use the word "Xiao" when they go out, after all, they can't change it when they are used to it. ”

Xiao Mingli gritted his teeth and said: "From today onwards, those who do not change their surnames will be expelled directly from the house." ”

"The younger generations of the family, go to Qinglan's grave according to the season, but you must not be allowed to publicize it everywhere, and you must not annoy him anymore."

Xiao Zhiping nodded and said, "Father, my son knows." ”

"After a while, you will go to the capital again."

Xiao Zhiping let out a long sigh and nodded slowly.

He knew in his heart that if he couldn't climb this high branch, his father felt very uncomfortable.

Xiao Mingli is old, so naturally he will not have any ambitions, but this Jing'an Hou can raise the descendants of the Xiao family to become masters!

This great opportunity was in front of me, but I missed it, and it was more uncomfortable than I didn't have it.

…………………………

In the carriage on the other side, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess sneered and looked at Li Xin who climbed into the carriage.

"Why, after going down for so long, that Qi Ran sent you?"

Li Xin smiled bitterly: "Why can't you get over this hurdle?" ”

"If you don't explain it clearly, you won't be able to get by."

The ninth princess gritted her teeth and said: "It's good that I came here like this, otherwise when you return to the capital by yourself, maybe you will have that Qi Ran child!" ”

Li Xin sat next to the Ninth Princess and sighed softly.

"The person who blocked the road in front just now is surnamed Xiao and his name is Xiao Mingli."

The Ninth Princess gave him a blank look.

"You don't want to change the subject!"

Li Xin continued to say to himself: "He is my mother's father. ”

The Ninth Princess exclaimed, "Isn't that your grandfather?" ”

Li Xin shook his head: "No." ”

This Jing'an Hou smiled at the Ninth Princess: "Shall I tell you a story?" ”

The ninth princess hesitated for a moment, decided to put Qi Yuran aside for the time being, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

"Once upon a time, in Qiyang County, Yongzhou Prefecture, there was a family surnamed Xiao, and the family surnamed Xiao had a little daughter......"

"Later, an officer of the imperial court was injured on the battlefield, so he borrowed Xiao's house to recuperate."

………

"In the end, Miss Xiao had no choice but to hold her son, hide in the mountains, and raise the child alone......"

The story of Li Xin's mother can be said to be a typical tragedy, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has been a comedy and food drama in the first half of her life, where can she stand this, she immediately burst into tears.

Li Xin put one hand around her waist, and wiped her tears with the other.

After wiping away her tears, the ninth princess choked up and said, "That Miss Xiao family, is that her mother?" ”

Li Xin smiled and nodded.

"So, I didn't recognize these relatives of the Xiao family."

The ninth princess gritted her teeth, reached out and pulled out the pheasant sword from Li Xin's waist and pulled out half of it.

"These bastards, this palace is going to kill them!"

Li Xin held her hand and shook his head: "Don't kill people, my mother doesn't like it." ”

The ninth princess wiped her tears with Li Xin's sleeve again, and then cried and said, "I thought you and your mother had been living in the mountains. ”

Li Xin smiled and shook his head: "Didn't you see that there was only one family there, if there was no way, who would hide there?" ”

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess gritted her teeth: "The Xiao family is too hateful, and the officers of that court are even more hateful!" ”

Suddenly, she was stunned and turned her head to look at Li Xin.

"Chang'an, the court officer you are talking about is ...... Pingnanhou? ”

Li Xin smiled brightly.

"yes, that's him."

"The culprit, the root of all evil."
