Chapter 192: Stingy
Early the next morning, when Li Xin was about to leave, the sedan chair of Ji Lingxiu in Princess Qinghe's mansion was blocked at the door of his house.
The eldest of Her Royal Highness the princess was unhappy, and snorted lightly: "You didn't tell me what happened at home, and you didn't come to the princess's mansion to see me when you returned to the capital, so you really don't have any conscience at all!" ”
Because this matter has nothing to do with her, no one has informed her, and even the Seventh Prince is busy and forgot to inform Her Royal Highness the princess, so it was not until this time that she knew that Li Xin had returned.
Li Xin has been full of anger in the past few days, and he has no heart to go to Princess Qinghe's mansion, so he really left this princess behind.
This clock is a little safe, Li Xin's mood is also a lot better, and he smiled at the princess at the moment: "There is an urgent matter to come back to the capital, and I will go back to the north immediately when I am done, and I am afraid that His Highness will miss it, so I did not inform His Highness." ”
"Who's going to miss you!"
The ninth princess snorted angrily: "When something happens, leave this princess behind, you send someone to say hello to me, and the people in the princess's mansion can also help you find someone......"
Until now, she thought it was just Li Xin's sister who was lost.
Li Xin shook his head and didn't elaborate, just smiled indifferently: "Your Highness, this matter is complicated, and it will be unclear for a while, and I will talk to His Highness in detail when I come back from the north." ”
The ninth princess opened her mouth, and wanted to say something more...
Li Xin looked up at the sky and said, "Your Highness, it's morning here, the weather is cool, you can still hurry, and it will heat up after a while, but it's not easy to go......
”
Although Ji Lingxiu was a little rude, she was not an unreasonable person, and snorted lightly when she heard this: "When you come back, I want you to look good again!" ”
Li Xin smiled and said hello to Mu Ying beside him.
"Brother Mu, let's go."
Mu Ying nodded, and the two of them left Datongfang together.
In order to catch up with the team, Li Xin spent money to change Mu Ying to a good horse in Xishi Street, which was red and looked very strong.
It's just that hundreds of dollars were spent at once, which made Colonel Li feel a little distressed.
But thinking that Mu Ying has to follow him for several years, he doesn't suffer too much, so he is assigned a car to facilitate his work.
When handing the reins to Mu Ying, Senior Colonel Li looked unkind: "Brother Mu, this is what I lent you, and when you go back to southern Xinjiang in the future, this horse must be returned to me." ”
Mu Ying, who had a black face, glanced at Li Xin a little helplessly: "Captain Li, you have all mixed up to this point, why are you still so stingy?" ”
At this time, the two of them have gradually become familiar with each other, and they can already start joking with each other.
Stingy?
Li Xin turned over the dark cloud horse, and glared at Mu Ying angrily: "More than half a year ago, Lao Tzu couldn't even afford a cotton coat of 100 Wen, and he shivered in the cold winter, and now he spent hundreds of dollars on you at once, and you still say that Lao Tzu is stingy?" ”
This self-title was learned by Li Xin from Mu Ying, but Mu Ying tried his best to restrain himself by Li Xin's side, and rarely said this title again.
"Besides, Lao Tzu is still a seven-grade official, you go and inquire, the seven-grade official in the capital only has six stone rice a month, and it is less than three times the money, and this horse will cost me ten years to afford it!"
Mu Ying also skillfully got on the jujube red horse, and smiled honestly: "Captain Li, although I have never been to the capital, but I am not uninformed, in this world, there is no seven-rank official who can invite the emperor out of the palace!" ”
Mu Ying is right, in the entire capital, I am afraid that only a seven-rank official like Li Xin can invite the Son of Heaven of Chengde out of the palace, just take yesterday's request to see the Son of Heaven at the gate of the palace, for other seven-rank officials, I am afraid that I will not be able to see the emperor for a day.
It's not that Chengde Tianzi has a big shelf, it's just that there are too many officials in the capital, and if everyone wants to see him, he will come out to see him, then he won't have to deal with political affairs.
Ordinary seven-rank officials, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven when they see the Son of Heaven, let alone imagine that Li Xin invited the Son of Heaven out of the deep palace.
Yesterday, when the Son of Chengde came out of the palace, Li Xin deliberately did not take him with him in order to prevent Mu Ying from coming in chaos, lest his brain be hot and stab the Son of Chengde.
Li Xin is now a skilled rider, he pulled the reins, and glanced back at Mu Ying: "As far as you talk a lot, get on the horse and hurry, you have already left behind for three days, and it is estimated that it will take a whole day to catch up with Master Shangwang." ”
Wang Zhong and most of them walked, and with a few carts, it was great to be able to walk thirty or forty miles a day, and in three days they walked at most about a hundred miles, and with the footsteps of the dark cloud horse, they should be able to catch up with them in the evening.
Mu Ying patted the neck of the jujube red horse with satisfaction, also got on the horse, pulled the reins, and said with a smile: "Captain Li, this horse will be mine in the future, and it will be a big deal to pay for you in the future." ”
In this era, there is no difference between people who have horses and sports cars in later generations, although Mu Ying has his own horse in southern Xinjiang, but it is not as valuable as this jujube red horse, so after seeing this horse, Mu Ying, who has always been a little introverted, also laughed.
Two big horses, one black and one red, after leaving the capital, began to gallop on the official road north of the capital.
However, this jujube red horse is still slower than the divine horse that the ninth princess came out of the Wei Palace, and Li Xin has to stop from time to time along the road and wait for Mu Ying for a while before he can catch up.
Mu Ying looked at the dark cloud horse that Li Xin was sitting on, and her eyes were a little red.
This is every man's dream......
In the evening, the two of them still didn't catch up with the big team, Li Xin glanced left and right, and said: "Go a little further, maybe in the post station in front." ”
The two of them walked forward for another twenty miles, and finally handed over Yu Linwei's five carts in the post station in front, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly rushed over.
At this time, it was already dark, most of the people of Yu Linwei entered the post station to rest, there were twenty or thirty people on duty next to the four carts, after hearing the movement, these people immediately became alert, looking left and right.
Li Xin's dark cloud horse was the first to arrive, turned over and dismounted.
After these people saw the person who was coming, they immediately clasped their fists respectfully: "Captain Li!" ”
Li Xin nodded at these black-clothed and black-armored Yu Linwei, and asked, "In the past few days, nothing has happened?" ”
Because Li Xin didn't have any shelves on weekdays, this Yu Linlang complained to Li Xin: "It's nothing, it's just that Captain Wang asked us to hurry every day, urging us too much, and it was very difficult to endure the hot day, Captain Li is back, but I have to persuade Captain Wang to become a good person, and several brothers have been suffering from heat stroke in the past few days." ”
Wearing black armor on a hot day to hurry, it was indeed a bit hard, Li Xin heard that his heart settled down, and he laughed and said: "The brothers have worked hard these days, I will write it down for you when I go back, and one person will send you the usual money, which should be compensated to the brothers!" ”
After Li Xin returns to the capital, he will be promoted to the captain of Yulin, and then these four hundred people will be Li Xin's personal descendants, and they will still be won over when it is time to win over, and Li Xin is indeed not short of money at this time, and one person has always had only four hundred yuan, which is not as expensive as a jujube red horse.
A jujube red horse can only attract one Mu Ying, and four hundred yuan can attract four hundred Yu Linlang, which is a very cost-effective deal.
