Chapter 348: There have been many high-rollers in Shu since ancient times
Frankly speaking, Li Xin is a little sorry for this family.
The eldest son of the Chen family, in the first year of junior high school, followed Li Xin to the battlefield and died in Xiao Chen Ji, which has always made Li Xin feel a little guilty.
Because they are Yu Linwei.
Yu Linwei didn't have to go to the Northland, even if he went to the Northland, he didn't have to fight with those Hu people, simply because of the arrangement of Chengde Tianzi and Ye Ming, because Li Xin himself needed this military merit, so thirty-nine people died in Xiao Chenji.
This incident had a great impact on Li Xin.
At that time, not long after he had just come to this world, his mind was still the mind of a modern man, and the sight of thirty-nine corpses in front of him made this young man remember it deeply.
Until now, he still remembers these thirty-nine people, and yesterday in the Chinese New Year's Eve, he also asked each family to send a little money over.
didn't send too much, the family just sent two dollars.
In fact, Li Xin has the ability to send more, but giving more may not be a good thing, and it may even cause trouble for them.
Today, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, after Li Xin came out of the palace, he was supposed to go to the Ye family, or the Hou family, Zhang Xiang, and Huan Xiang's family to visit the New Year, so that they had a friendship with each other, but he didn't do this, but took Mu Ying with some New Year's gifts and rushed to this inconspicuous village on the outskirts of the city.
Chen Sixteen's mother is a very simple woman, she always has a smiling face when she sees everyone on weekdays, but after seeing Li Xin coming, she is a little unhappy
When Li Xin first came, he told her that her eldest son died on the battlefield, and it was easy for this matter to pass, and the younger son followed into Yulinwei, and the life of the family was barely better, but it didn't take long for the younger son to lose an arm, so he had to return home to recuperate.
Her youngest son is not married this year, he has a broken right arm and has become a waste, how can he marry a wife?
Last time, what Li Lang General said that Yu Linwei didn't fight...
The woman poured a glass of water for Li Xin and Mu Ying, and then took her little daughter's hand, so she wanted to avoid it.
Chen Sixteen smiled awkwardly at Li Xin.
Li Xin knew that she was uncomfortable, so he stood up and arched his hand to the woman: "Auntie, Li Xin is here this time, first, to pay New Year's greetings to his aunt, and secondly, he is already sixteen years old this year, and his little nephew is going to give him a daughter-in-law." ”
Mother Chen stopped, turned around and wiped her tears.
"He's all crippled, where is anyone looking at him?"
"You can't say that."
Li Xin said with a smile: "Although Brother Chen injured his arm, he made a meritorious service last time, and now he is already a serious member of the Yulin Guard, this is a high-ranking official position, how can no one look down on him?" ”
"Don't hide it from my aunt, my little nephew knows a girl with good looks, I told Brother Chen's situation, she likes it very much, and when Brother Chen recovers from his injury, I will lead Brother Chen to the city to meet, if Brother Chen nods, this family affair will be decided, and after the 100-day national funeral, the little nephew will personally preside over the marriage of the two of them."
The girls Li Xin said were actually those maids in his house.
Those maids are all from the Department of Education, and most of the innocent girls are from official eunuch families, and they are in slavery because of the difficulties in their families, and if they can find a pure white family to marry, they are naturally willing.
As for the matter of slavery, with Li Xin's current status, he can leave the nationality by saying hello to Jingzhao Mansion with the deed of sale.
This kind of chasm, which is like a moat for the ordinary people, is no longer a problem for Li Xin today.
Chen's mother's voice trembled.
"Lee... Is what General Lee said true? ”
"Nature is true."
Li Xin nodded with a smile: "When Brother Chen was injured, the little nephew told him, and the rest of his life fell on the little nephew's head. ”
"Although the little nephew is not a big official, he will not break his word."
Chen's mother burst into tears.
"Then thank you so much General Li, the woman is worried about how to find him a daughter-in-law during this time......"
She said with tears in her eyes: "Don't hide it from General Li, the folk woman is ready to spend money to buy him a daughter-in-law from the dealer, so that she can inherit the old Chen family......"
Li Xin shook his head and sighed.
Chen Sixteen's face on the side turned a little red, he gritted his teeth at Li Xin and said, "General Li Lang, my aunt doesn't know anything, don't you mind ......"
He was injured in the palace change, and after his injuries stabilized, he was sent back to his home to recuperate, not knowing that Li Xin was no longer the right general of Yulinwei, but the Marquis of Jing'an of the Great Jin.
Li Xin reached out and patted him on the shoulder, shook his head and sighed.
"At that time, I asked you not to rush like that, you are the way you are now, I think I can't stand your eldest brother."
Chen Sixteen's eyes were slightly red.
"Nearly half of Yu Linwei's brothers are dead, I am lucky to be alive, Li Lang will have nothing to do with me, it is because I am not capable enough......"
Li Xin patted him on the shoulder and slowly spoke: "Take care of your injuries at home, and when your injuries heal, if you still have thoughts, go to the city to find me and do things in my house." ”
"No matter what, I have to give you a future......"
………………
Li Xin and Mu Ying stayed in this small village for a whole afternoon, and in the evening, the two of them left together.
This little girl with big eyes pulled Li Xin's shirt.
"Big brother, thank you."
Li Xin squatted down and smiled at the eleven or twelve little girl: "Little sister, what's your name?" ”
"My name is the seventh ...... of the first month"
Yes, it's really easy to choose a name for this family.
Li Xinli shook his head and said with a smile: "Come into the city with your brother in a few days, and the eldest brother will lead you to have a good walk in the capital." ”
Chu Qi nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, I haven't been in the city yet......"
They are all from the suburbs of the capital, twenty or thirty miles away from the capital, how can they be the second and third rings in the future, but the little girl has never entered the capital.
On the way back to the city, Mu Ying and Li Xin walked side by side.
It was the end of the year, and the weather was still very cold, and the cold wind was blowing, which made Li Xin feel a little uncomfortable.
Mu Ying's body was much better than Li Xin's, and he smiled when he saw this.
"Master Hou seems to be a little afraid of the cold."
Li Xin nodded and said meaningfully: "I'm a little afraid of the cold." ”
The bone-chilling cold in that small ruined temple last year still makes Li Xin feel a little daunted.
After Mu Ying paused, she lowered her head and said, "Even among our Shu people, it is rare to see such a person as affectionate and righteous as Hou Ye. ”
Li Xin turned around and smiled at Mu Ying: "What's the matter, there is still a sense of regional superiority?" ”
Mu Ying held her head high, quite proud: "Since ancient times, there have been many high-rollers in Shu. ”
Li Xin shook his head and didn't say anything more.
"Brother Mu, wait a few days, I want you to go back to Shu County."
Mu Ying's expression changed slightly, and she lowered her head and said, "What are you doing?" ”
"Let's take a look at what the situation in southern Xinjiang is, and by the way, go to see Li Xing again, and tell him that the abolished prince of the Great Jin Dynasty has fallen into the hands of the Pingnan Army."
A very important reason why the Pingnan Army was able to gain a foothold in southern Xinjiang to this day is because the Pingnan Army formed an alliance with the remnants of Nanshu.
They have a common enemy, that is, the Ji family of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the remnants of Nanshu all hate the Ji family to the bone.
And the abolished prince is also surnamed Ji.
