Jincheng is four thousand miles away from the capital, and the distance is in Yongzhou, which is just south of the Great Jin Dynasty, it is only two thousand miles, two thousand miles is not close, and it is not too far away, if you ride a horse, it will take about ten days to arrive, but Li Xin is sitting in a carriage, it is relatively slow, and it will take more than half a month to arrive.

About 20 days later, he arrived in Qiyang County, Yongzhou.

Originally, when an official of his level came to a small place like Qiyang County, whether it was the Qiyang County Government or the Yongzhou Mansion, he had to respectfully welcome him in, but now the real "Jing'an Hou" arrived in Qiyang County more than a month ago, and naturally no one greeted him.

This old house was built by Li Xin in his hometown after he returned to Qiyang ten years ago, and the money was paid by the Jing'an Hou Mansion, and the location was not far from Qishan, covering an area of more than 20 acres.

When he asked someone to repair this house, it was still a honeymoon period with Taikang Tianzi, and at that time, he didn't think that one day he would come to this point in the future, and the plan to repair this house was to get tired of being an official one day, so he would go back to his hometown to plant flowers and take children.

However, with Li Xin's current level, this mansion covering an area of more than 20 acres is relatively shabby, but in such a large place, it can be said that it is more than enough for their family to live.

In the past ten years, Li Xin is not in Qiyang County, this house is Lin Hu is helping to take care of, after Lin Hu left Qiyang, the house was temporarily vacant, more than a month ago, the Jing'an Hou Mansion and the eldest princess of the dynasty returned to their hometown with their families and lived in.

For a while, whether it was the county government or the government office, every day I don't know how many people want to come to the Li Mansion to ask to see the Marquis Li and the eldest princess of Qinghe, but after this extremely noble family entered the Li Mansion, except for going up the mountain to sweep the tomb of Mrs. Xiao once, they never came out, even if it was the prefect of Yongzhou Mansion, they couldn't see the main owner.

Shen Gang's carriage stopped at the back door of the Li Mansion, and Li Xin stepped out of the carriage with Shen Gang's support and walked towards the back door of the Li Mansion.

The person in charge of guarding the back door was the part brought by the Marquis of Jing'an from the capital, and they all recognized Li Xin, and after seeing that it was Li Xin, he immediately lowered his head and hugged his fists: "Hou Ye!" ”

Li Xin nodded, walked into the house, and looked left and right.

Although this is his industry, but he has not been to once, when this house was built, he was the Jing'an Marquis of the imperial court, the military department of the three products, so the house was built according to the family house of the three officials, although it is not very big, but the yard is winding and quiet, all kinds of flowers and plants after ten years, are also very prosperous, very suitable for living.

The Marquis of Jing'an looked left and right, and still felt very satisfied.

They entered the Li Mansion through the back door, and after passing through the back garden, they entered the back house of the Li Mansion, and at this time, the ninth princess had received a notice from the next person, and took her eldest daughter Ah Han to greet her.

Li Xin bent down, hugged the five-year-old eldest daughter in his arms, and said with a smile: "Ah Han, do you have the habit of thinking about your father and living here?" ”

Xiao Ahan hugged his father's neck and rubbed it affectionately.

"This is a small place, everything else is fine, and A-Niang also took me and my brother to kowtow to my grandmother on the mountain."

Little Ah Han blinked his big eyes and said crisply: "Ah Niang also took us to see the small wooden house on the mountain, saying that when Daddy was young, he grew up living in that wooden house with his grandmother. ”

Li Xin stretched out his hand and touched the little girl's head, and said with a smile: "Daddy grew up there, there are a lot of fun things on Qishan Mountain, tomorrow Daddy will take you to the mountain to catch hares, okay?" ”

"Good~"

When Ah Han was born, Li Xin was idle in the capital, and he liked his daughter, so when he was a child, Ah Han was almost raised by Li Xin himself, and he was very close to Li Xin.

After the father and daughter were tired of it for a while, the ninth princess took Ah Han back into her arms, and then glanced at Li Xin.

"I haven't eaten on the way yet, so I'll have someone prepare it."

Saying that, she sighed and glanced at Li Xin complainingly: "I don't know what you're going to do, even Sixteen was transferred out by you, and without him at home, I have to handle everything myself, which is very troublesome." ”

Speaking of Chen Sixteen, Li Xin frowned slightly, and then said: "Sixteen is going to help me do things, and I will come back in a few days." ”

The Ninth Princess nodded.

"Let's go, I'll take you to dinner."

The husband and wife held the child and walked towards the living room of the Li Mansion, and Li Xin asked as he walked, "Did you encounter any trouble living here?" ”

"There is no big trouble, that is, Yongzhou is hotter and humid than the capital, Ah Han has prickly heat all over her body, she can't stand the itch, she has to scratch it all the time, and there is bleeding in some places."

Li Xin stretched out his hand and pinched his eldest daughter's face, and asked with a smile: "Why don't you listen to A-Niang's words, don't scratch it, it will get more and more serious." ”

Ah Han lowered his head a little aggrieved.

"But it's itchy......"

"There's one more thing besides this."

The Ninth Princess continued: "Since we came to Yongzhou, officials at all levels in Yongzhou have been playing with you, and even the Jinghu South Road Jinglu has come once, but they have been blocked by me, and now more than a month has passed, basically those who are officials have dispersed. ”

Speaking of this, the eldest princess frowned slightly.

"But there is a local squire who still sends men to the door every day, begging for you."

Hearing this, Li Xin frowned: "Xiao family? ”

The eldest princess nodded, and sighed: "Xiao Mingli, the eldest head of the Xiao family, has been there a few years ago, and the current Xiao family is Xiao Xiuqi, the head of the Xiao family, has come to the house several times to ask to see, and he came yesterday, but I rejected it." ”

Xiao Mingli is Li Xin's grandfather, and Xiao Xiuqi, the new head of the Xiao family, is Li Xin's uncle.

Because of the conflict between his mother and the Xiao family in his early years, he made a big fuss about the Xiao family ten years ago, forcing their family to change their surname, and now ten years have passed, Xiao Mingli, who forced his mother to run away, has passed away, but the Xiao family is still so inflammatory.

Li Xin frowned, then shook his head and said, "That's it, don't care about them, I don't bother to see their families." ”

The Ninth Princess nodded, took Li Xin's hand, and asked softly, "How long are you going to stay in Yongzhou?" ”

Li Xin was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "If nothing else, our family will stay in Yongzhou for a long time, and it is also very good here, we can enjoy the purity here." ”

The ninth princess glanced at Li Xin lightly.

"You, you are always unwilling to tell me the truth, you are a court master, even if you go back to your hometown, how long can you stay in your hometown?"

The Marquis of Jing'an smiled noncommittally.

"Madam, if the court doesn't invite me this time, I won't go back."

The Ninth Princess snorted lightly and walked away.

Just when Li Xin and his wife were flirting in Yongzhou, dozens of letters from the southwest had been sent to the capital through the post station.

These recitals will be sent to Shangshutai first, and then to the Son of Heaven.

Soon, the imperial court will set off another wave of turmoil because of these recitals.
