In the next period of time, Li Xin basically didn't go anywhere, just accompanied Her Royal Highness the eldest princess at home, after all, the newlyweds were just like glue and the temples were grinding, or it wouldn't be long before the two of them would be separated for a long time, which was undoubtedly a very painful thing.

Li Xin is still mentally prepared for what he said, but the Ninth Princess is even more uncomfortable.

So during this time, Li Xin wanted to accompany her well, and on weekdays, he either accompanied her at home to make food, or took her out for a walk.

More than half a month passed in a flash.

Shangyuan Lantern Festival.

No matter how tense the situation in the southwest is, and no matter whether there is a fight in southern Xinjiang, the Shangyuan Lantern Festival in the capital is still lively, the streets and alleys are full of colorful lanterns, and a pair of talented and beautiful women are deducing love stories in this festival.

Li Xin and the Ninth Princess are also among them.

In the night, the two of them held hands and walked along the Qinhuai River, stopping from time to time to guess one or two lantern riddles, and then continued to move forward hand in hand, leaving a string of laughter.

This is the third Shangyuan Festival he came to the Great Jin Dynasty, and when he was on the first Shangyuan Festival, he was still thinking about whether to write the Qingyu case out and appear in front of people, and from then on he became famous in the annals of history.

However, at that time, he was deeply trapped in the whirlpool and finally chose to keep a low profile.

At the time of the second Shangyuan Festival, it coincided not long after the Taikang Tianzi Mutiny, and at that time Li Xin was already on his way back to Yongzhou and failed to catch up with this grand event.

And this time the Shangyuan Festival is the first time he has spent it seriously.

But at this time, the name of a talented man is too low for Li Xin, his current status, there is no need to do these things to seek fame, to put it mildly, the name of the poem is extremely good, and now he can only be a guest in the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

However, if there are not so many things in the future, after settling down, Li Xin is still ready to copy one or two poems, after all, it would be a pity if those quatrains did not appear in the world.

People who appear in Chinese textbooks are always more likely to be remembered than people who appear in history textbooks.

Because it is a newlywed relationship, the ninth princess is now tired of Li Xin, and she is holding Li Xin's hand tightly and is unwilling to let go.

The two of them walked to the vicinity of the proud building.

Li Xin stretched out his hand and pointed to the famous Qinglou on the bank of the Qinhuai River, and said with a smile: "When I first came to the capital, if it wasn't for the proud building, I might not have survived that winter. ”

The ninth princess felt a little sad in her heart, and held Li Xin's hand tighter.

"It's all right now, don't talk about those things."

Li Xin didn't care very much, he was a very free and easy person, and when he heard this, he hugged the waist of the ninth princess, and said with a smile: "The wind is blowing, let's go home after walking for a while." ”

"Hmm."

During the Lantern Festival, under the lights, two people join hands together, as in a painting.

After walking the Qinhuai River, just as Li Xin was about to go home, he suddenly saw a person.

An old man.

Li Xin turned around and smiled at the Ninth Princess: "I saw an acquaintance, go over and say hello." ”

The ninth princess nodded obediently.

At home, she is somewhat willful, but after all, she is from a royal family, and this eldest princess is still very knowledgeable, and she usually gives Li Xin face outside.

This old man, who was only a dozen steps away from Li Xin, was leading two children, a man and a woman, seven or eight years old, to watch lanterns on the street.

From time to time, the old man would recite two lines of poetry, and the two children would follow behind and clap their hands.

Li Xin walked up with the ninth princess with a smile and bowed.

"Huan Xiang."

This old man was the subordinate of the Tai Pavilion who was almost side by side with Zhang Qu at the beginning, but later because the new emperor was on the throne to control Shangshutai, this old man was somewhat uncooperative, so he was driven out of the court and "told the old man" to pay tribute.

It is worth mentioning that when this old man was in power, he often said that he wanted to tell the old man to go home to farm, but he did not leave the capital after the real Zhishi, and still lived in the capital.

However, this upright old man didn't care about these rumors, and still went his own way, raising flowers and grass in the capital every day, and taking his two young grandchildren with him by the way.

When Huan Chu heard this, he was stunned at first, and then looked up and saw that it was Li Xin and his wife, so he hurriedly returned the salute and said with a wry smile: "Hou Ye Li made fun of it, the old man is no longer a Huan Xiang." ”

Li Xin shook his head slightly: "Huan Xiang has been a prime minister for more than ten years, and he is highly respected, no matter what time he is." ”

Before Li Xin was only a captain of Yulin Guard, this old man talked to him and taught him a lot of truths in the court, at that time Li Xin was still an ignorant and new to the court, so Huan Chu can be regarded as half of his teacher.

Speaking of this, Li Xin said with a smile: "The younger generation got married a year ago and handed a post to Huan Xiang's family, but unfortunately Huan Xiang didn't come. ”

Huan Chu shook his head and sighed: "There are too many old people in Hou Ye's family, and the old man is not willing to see them now, and several adult children and grandchildren of the old man are not in the capital, and there are only two young grandchildren around him, so he missed the marriage of Hou Ye." ”

Li Xin was not angry.

Although the old man did not arrive, he gave a gift, and it was a good inkstone, although it was not too valuable, but it also showed the kindness of this old man.

You must know that when Huan Chu was an official, except for relatives and friends, he did not accept gifts or give gifts to others, and it was already a rare occasion to be able to get Huan Chu's things.

"Huan Xuan, Huan Rou, this is the Marquis of Jing'an and His Royal Highness the eldest princess, call someone quickly."

The old man did not continue to talk to Li Xin, but turned his head and spoke to his two grandchildren.

Two seven or eight-year-old boys and girls ran out from behind Huan Chu and saluted Li Xin and the Ninth Princess in a proper manner.

"Hello Marquis of Jing'an."

"Hello eldest princess."

Li Xin returned the salute with a smile, and said in a decent manner: "Miss Huan, Gongzi Huan, is good." ”

This move was originally a joke, and the two little ones had never seen this battle, and their faces immediately turned red and they hid behind their grandfather.

The eldest princess liked these two children very much, squatted down and took the hands of the two little dolls, and then turned back and beckoned to Cui'er who was not far away.

"Cui'er, bring some food."

Because they are newly married, many people ask for candy when they see them, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess herself likes to eat it very much, so she asked Cui'er to bring a little food with her, and she sent it when she saw someone.

Cui'er answered and walked over.

Li Xin had a tacit understanding with Huan Chu and walked a few steps to the side.

Huan Xiang, who had a lot of gray hair, was silent for a while, and then asked, "Hou Ye Li, how is the situation in the court now?" ”

Li Xin shook his head.

"Huan Xiang, the junior is a military attaché, and he has also resigned from the military department, what the court situation looks like, the younger generation doesn't know very well."

Huan Chu frowned, and then continued: "What the old man wants to ask is the current situation. ”

The actions of the imperial court are very large, but these actions are not visible to ordinary people, Huan Chu is not a party, once he leaves the court, he is not very clear about these current affairs.

"It's a good situation."

Li Xin smiled bitterly: "It's going to be a war." ”

"General Ye has already led his troops to the southwest, and it is estimated that at the end of February at the most, he will be able to drive to the gate of Shu County."

Li Xin said honestly.

"A big war is inevitable."
