Li Xin stayed in this nunnery for a whole afternoon, and the half pot of toast wine he brought over was all drunk by him alone, but fortunately, half a pot of wine was only a catty, plus he drank it slowly, Li Xin was not drunk, but his face was slightly flushed.

Before parting, Cui Jiuniang looked at Li Xin, who was a little vain in his steps, frowned and said, "Otherwise, Master Hou will rest here with me and wait for the wine to wake up before leaving?" ”

Li Xin looked up at the sky and found that it was already evening, he shook his head and said, "No, I still have some things to deal with, and when I am done with the things at hand, I will come to visit my sister again." ”

Cui Jiuniang sent him to the door, and said with some emotion: "When you finish the matter at hand, maybe your identity will be very different from now." ”

Li Xin was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't say anything, just waved his hand at Jiu Niang: "Sister Cui, pay attention to your body, I'll come to see you when I'm free." ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin suddenly remembered something, turned back to Cui Jiuniang and said with a smile: "There is something I almost forgot to tell my sister, most of the little girl is pregnant, and it is estimated that in more than half a year, I will be an uncle." ”

"If my sister has time, you can go to her house to see her, and by the way, go out for a walk, don't stay in the nunnery all day."

Zhong Xiaoxiao and Zhao Fang have been married for two or three years, but the two of them lived together after Li Xin entered Beijing, and now Zhao is in charge of Yulinwei, and he can be regarded as having his own career, so it is naturally inconvenient to live in the Jing'an Hou Mansion all the time, so Li Xin gave them a small house in Yongle Fang, which was regarded as the Zhao family's mansion.

After more than two years of marriage, Zhong Xiaoxiao's stomach finally moved, and Li Xin only knew about this happy event a few days ago.

Jiuniang leaned against the door and said softly, "Okay, I'll go to her house tomorrow to have a look." ”

When Li Xin worked hard in the capital in his early years, he often had no way to take care of Zhong Xiaoxiao, and often placed her next to Cui Jiuniang, this girl can be said to be brought up by Jiuniang, and the relationship between the two is very deep.

Li Xin, who was dressed in purple, waved at Jiu Niang and left in style.

After Li Xin walked away, a little girl who followed Cui Jiuniang looked at Li Xinyuan's back, and asked with some curiosity: "Aunt Cui, who is this person, it's the first time I've seen you talk to a man for so long." ”

Cui Jiuniang has never married in her life, but she has not been psychologically distorted because of this, but hopes that the people around her will have a good home, so the maids who follow her often follow her for two or three years, and then she marries out.

Jiuniang glanced back at this little girl who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and her tone was a little complicated.

"The most memorable day of your life is probably today."

Jiu Niang's tone was calm: "There is no second such character, Ken Xuan is respectful and noble, and he has come to visit our small nunnery." ”

………………

Li Xin got into the black carriage that was waiting at the mouth of the alley, and after closing his eyes on the carriage for half an hour, he finally returned to the Jing'an Hou Mansion, he just got off the carriage, and the subordinates of the Hou Mansion hurriedly walked over, bowed their heads to Li Xin and said: "Hou Ye, Zhao Fu and General Shenwuwei have been waiting for you in the mansion for two hours......

Li Xin spat out a puff of wine from his mouth, and his voice was low: "I know." ”

It was not uncommon for Zhao Jia and Li Shuo to come to visit, because as soon as the news from Mu Ying was delivered to them, they would definitely come to see Li Xin.

Li Xin knew early in the morning that they would come, but at that time he was a little confused, so he simply went out for a drink to relax, leaving these two Southwest Army giants aside.

When he returned to the house, he first washed his face, then let out a few breaths, and walked to the main hall of his house.

In the main hall of the Jing'an Hou Mansion, Zhao Jia and Li Shuo had been waiting for a long time, to be exact, after Li Xin asked Chen Sixteen to deliver Mu Ying's news to them, they came to visit almost at the same time.

At this moment, the two of them had been waiting in the Hou Mansion for two hours, almost a whole afternoon.

Seeing Li Xin walk in, the two of them hurriedly got up and saluted Li Xin.

"Congratulations to the Grand Duke!"

The two spoke in unison.

Li Xin sat on the main seat by himself, raised his eyes to look at the two people, and then smiled dumbly: "The two of you have discussed the rhetoric here?" ”

Zhao Jia smiled: "The Metropolitan Governor has wronged the lower officials, and the lower officials are waiting in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, originally wanting to say a few words to General Li, but General Li has been silent and silent, without saying a word, and the two of us have not said a word." ”

After the last incident of the Ji family's assassination of Li Xin, Li Shuo began to gradually distance himself from Mu Ying and Zhao Jia, and now he will not say even a word to these two people unless it is necessary to communicate.

This is Zhao Jia's character, and it is also his way of life.

He is ready to be Li Xin's "lonely minister".

Li Xin sat on the main seat, drank two sips of tea to dissipate the smell of wine, and then pointed to the seats on both sides and said, "Sit down and talk, there is no need to be so restrained." ”

The two of them sat down together.

After Zhao Jia sat down, he smiled at Li Xin and said, "General Mu raided thousands of miles this time and directly destroyed the Xianbei King's tent!" Since then, I have been in the northern Xinjiang of the Great Jin Dynasty, and I have been peaceful for at least 20 years. ”

He stroked his palms and smiled: "Old Master Ye didn't succeed in this matter back then, but now under the leadership of the Grand Dudu, we have done it." ”

This Shangshu's right servant shot his eyes burning: "This is the destiny of heaven!" ”

Li Xin looked at Zhao Jia with a smile, and then said with a smile: "I understand what Brother You'an means, but the situation of Master Ye back then is very different from now, and it can't be mixed up. ”

Zhao Jia coughed and said with a smile: "The Metropolitan Governor said before that after the success of Northern Xinjiang, he will finish the things that have not been done in the capital. ”

As he spoke, he stood up from his seat, and then knelt directly in front of Li Xin with a serious face.

"The Grand Governor, now that everything is ready, the time, the place and the people are all right, please obey the mandate of heaven."

Li Shuo also got up from his chair, but he was not as anxious as Zhao Jia, but stood in place, looking at Li Xin, waiting for Li Xin's next instructions.

Li Xin sighed, got up and helped Zhao Jia up, and said, "Brother You'an, don't worry, I won't break my promise." ”

"Starting tomorrow, the soldiers and horses of the various gates of the capital will change their defenses, the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen, the Inspection Division, the Jin Wuwei, and the Water Defense Yamen, but all the yamen with soldiers will be taken over by people from the southwest department."

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused, looked at Zhao Jia and said: "Starting tomorrow, those speculative civil officials who were previously controlled by Brother You'an can also continue to do things, but remember one thing, don't be too explicit, otherwise it will look ugly." ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused, and then continued: "First build momentum in the capital. ”

Governor Li turned his head to look at Li Shuo and continued: "From tomorrow, you will be stationed in the capital with the Shenwu Guards and take over the defense of the gates of the capital. ”

"Over there in the Imperial City, I will send three guards to control it."

Governor Li's voice was low.

"If you want to do it, don't make any mistakes."

"Before Mu Ying returns to Beijing, she should make as many preparations as possible."
