Chapter 467: Invitation
Seeing that the day of the Hou Ye's marriage is getting closer and closer, the Jing'an Hou Mansion is already full of red.
Compared with the busy people in the house, Li Xin seems to be much more leisurely, he doesn't have to go to work in the forbidden army now, nor does he have to go to the court, he walks around every morning after standing on the boxing pile, and occasionally goes to Ye's house to play chess with Old Man Ye.
Because he dug up Old Man Ye alone, it was a bit not very authentic, so when Li Xin played chess with this old man, he deliberately lost two sentences to him, and the old man was so happy that he almost didn't hold Li Xin's hand and didn't let him go.
This day is the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and there are still two days before Li Xin gets married.
Early in the morning, Li Xin and Zhong Xiaoxiao had a meal together, and then went out in civilian clothes, Chen Sixteen hesitated, put down the work in his hand, and went out with Li Xin.
The wound on his arm is almost healed now, but he still can't do much work with only one arm left, so it's better to run an errand and drive a car behind Li Xin.
It's winter now, and there are few people who ride horses when they go out, most of them take a carriage or a sedan chair, and Li Xin is no exception, he packed a few cotton clothes into the carriage, and then rushed to the south of the city with Chen Sixteen.
At about midnight, Li Xin's carriage stopped at the gate of the Yulinwei camp, Li Xin jumped off the carriage first, looked up at the door of the camp, and felt a little embarrassed.
Today's Yu Linwei's status is very embarrassing.
On the one hand, many of the Yu Linwei who followed His Royal Highness King Wei to the palace gate back then were promoted to other yamen as officials, and even formed the so-called "Yu Linwei family" in the court.
But it is precisely because of breaking the palace gate that Yu Linwei is a little jealous of the Son of Heaven, and now Yu Linwei is basically no longer on duty in the palace, and he is about to become an idle yamen.
Li Xin took two sets of cotton clothes from the carriage, carried a pot of wine in his hand, and walked into the Yulinwei camp.
At this time, most of the people guarding the door at the gate of Yulin Wei were recruits, and few people recognized Li Xin, but because Li Xin was with him, they didn't dare to stop him, so they could only run quickly to report, and it didn't take long for Mu Ying, who was dressed in armor, to greet him.
He bent deeply.
"Why is Master Hou here?"
After he came back from southern Xinjiang, he returned to Yulinwei to reinstate, after all, the official position of the Great Jin Dynasty is very important to the Mu family, and he, the right general of Yulinwei, can be regarded as dutiful.
Li Xin smiled and helped him up and patted him on the shoulder.
"You guy, why are you getting more and more polite."
Mu Ying stood up straight with a smile, lowered her eyebrows, and said, "Didn't Master Hou teach him to be a lowly official, and he wanted to talk about the rules?" ”
"That's with outsiders, we're our own people."
Li Xin hugged the cotton clothes, carried the wine, and asked with a smile, "Master Wang is not there?" ”
"Yes, why not there?"
Mu Ying said helplessly: "This old man's temper has been getting worse and worse recently, and he went to him for a drink a few days ago, and he was kicked out." ”
Li Xin shook his head and walked to the Yulin Weidong Courtyard.
Although it was no longer snowing at this time, the snow had not melted a few days ago, and the weather was still very cold, Li Xin carried two pots of spirits, walked to the door of Old Man Wang's class room, and knocked lightly.
Wang Zhong, who was expressionless, slowly opened the door, and then he glanced Li Xin up and down, his eyes moved.
"Why are you here?"
"Come and invite Master Wang for a drink."
Li Xin lifted the two pots of wine in his hand, put them aside, and then put two sets of thick robes on the table, and said with a smile: "It's cold, come and send two thick clothes to Master Wang." ”
Old man Wang had no children or daughters in his life, and he did not accept apprentices, and Li Xin was his only apprentice.
Of course, this old man has been in Yulinwei for thirty years, and he has brought many people under him, and some people come to see him during the New Year's holidays, but he is a little lonely after all.
Wang Zhong sat down silently and glanced at Li Xin.
"I heard that your kid has been very busy lately, why do you have time to come and see the old man?"
"Not to see you."
Li Xin took out a red invitation card from his sleeve and slapped it on the table.
"Your apprentice is getting married."
Jing'anhou smiled: "The day after tomorrow, you are an elder, and it is not appropriate to ask someone to inform you, so I will come over and tell you." ”
Wang Zhong glanced at the invitation card on the table, and finally said silently: "You are developed now, the old man is an old Qiuba, it was not suitable in the past, right?" ”
In his opinion, the people Li Xin is coming and going with now are all rich and noble, and it is really not suitable for him, a sloppy veteran, to go.
Li Xin glanced at the old man, and scolded with a smile: "What is suitable or not, I have informed you, whether you love to go or not." ”
As he spoke, Li Xin was about to go out.
As he walked to the door of the class, he glanced back at the old man.
"Master Ye will also go when the time comes, if you don't go, you will be pulled down."
As he spoke, Marquis Li walked out of the class room with his hands in his hands.
At the door of the class room, Mu Ying was waiting for Li Xin, and after seeing Li Xin come out, he glanced at Li Xin up and down, and said with a smile: "What did Old Man Wang say?" ”
"He'll go."
Li Xin put his hands in his sleeves and asked softly, "Where is the young man I brought to the forbidden army last time?" ”
Mu Ying was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and hurriedly bowed his head and said: "In a captain's battalion in the right battalion, according to the meaning of Master Hou, he is still an ordinary Yu Linlang. ”
The young man Li Xin said was the young Lin Hu he brought back from his hometown, this Lin Hu was the only friend of the original "Li Xin", and after he brought him to the capital, Li Xin arranged him in the forbidden army, starting from an ordinary Yu Linlang.
Calculating the time, it should have been July at that time, and now he has entered the month of Layue, which means that he has been in Yulinwei for half a year.
Mu Ying bowed her head and said, "Bring him to see the Hou Ye?" ”
"No need."
Li Xin turned around, took the other two sets of thick clothes from Chen Sixteen's hand, and held them in his hands.
"Please Brother Mu lead the way, I'll go see him."
After a while, Li Xin appeared in the barracks of the West Courtyard.
Lin Hu, whose face was cold and red, stood in front of Li Xin a little helplessly.
If half a year ago, he didn't know what Li Xin's identity was now, and he could talk to Li Xin with a normal heart, then after staying in the capital for half a year, he already knew what a big gap there was between him and Li Xin.
Li Xin patted his shoulder, which was getting stronger and stronger, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, you don't recognize me?" ”
He speaks the authentic Yongzhou dialect.
Lin Hu's heart warmed, and he grinned: "Of course I know." ”
Li Xin took out another invitation card from his sleeve, handed it to him, and then smiled.
"Huzi, I'm going to marry my mother-in-law."
"The day after tomorrow, you remember to come then."
Lin Hu took the invitation and scratched his head.
"Where is the mother-in-law, is it good-looking?"
Jing Anhou laughed.
"The local mother-in-law in the capital is okay."
Lin Hu took the invitation into his arms and nodded.
"Okay, I'll go then."
Li Xin handed him the thick clothes again.
"Huzi, it's colder here than in my hometown, I brought you two clothes, you wear them first."
Lin Hu hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out to take the two pieces of clothing, smiling brightly.
"Thank you, Brother Xin."
