Chapter 40: Attitude
This funeral was very frugal, frugal to the point of being a little excessive, Li Xin didn't even know what the surname of this charcoal seller was, and even the little girl didn't know what her grandfather's surname was, in desperation, Li Xin could only speculate that his surname was Zhong, and engraved four words on the tombstone.
Tomb of Chung Weng.
In ancient times, this tombstone is actually extremely unruly, the tombstone of this era, at least there must be a first test, first and then the surname and name, for example, Zhong Gong is a god or something, if there is an official position in the court, but also in front of the tombstone to write the official position and the like, a lot of words are serious, no tombstone will be as simple or even simple as this tombstone, but Li Xin does not know anything about the life name of the charcoal seller, so he can only write a few words so simply.
Even this surname Zhong was added by him according to the surname of the charcoal girl, and in Li Xin's estimation, it is unlikely that the old man's surname is Zhong.
After taking the little girl to kowtow a few times in front of the tombstone, Li Xin stretched his body, he was tired after a busy day, he squatted down and helped the charcoal girl who was kneeling on the ground to help him up, and said softly: "Girl, let's go back, and I will come to visit my grandfather when I have time in the future." ”
The charcoal girl's eyes were swollen from crying, and she hugged one of Li Xin's arms, her eyes teary-eyed.
"Brother, grandpa, will he never come out?"
Li Xin touched the poor little girl's head and said softly: "Don't be afraid, girl, Grandpa is gone, and there is a brother to protect you, Grandpa just went to the sky, and he will always watch you from the sky in the future." ”
The little girl had more tears, and she whimpered, "Brother, I'm afraid..."
A little girl, the old man who is dependent on each other is suddenly gone, and it is normal to have a sense of insecurity, this feeling is often felt after Li Xin came to this world, but Li Xin was a person about thirty years old in his last life, and his heart has already matured, and he is unlikely to cry like a girl.
Li Xin stretched out his hand and hugged this girl into his arms, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, Grandpa will bless the girl in heaven, and my brother will protect the girl in the future, no one can harm you." ”
The charcoal girl was hugged by Li Xin, her head got into Li Xin's shoulder, and she was still in tears.
To be honest, this girl has not had a good time with the charcoal seller in the past few years, but she did not blame the old man, but she had a very strong affection for the charcoal seller, which shows that this is a girl with a good heart.
Looking old at the age of three, a person's character, although it cannot be said that it has been stereotyped since childhood, but it can be seen that some clues are true from an early age.
On the official road not far from the grave, a purple carriage was waiting there, Li Xin lifted the curtain and walked up, took a deep breath, and nodded slowly to a man and a woman in the car.
"Your Highness, Sister Cui, I've been waiting for a long time."
At this time, the sky is almost dark, and when they return to the city, the sky will definitely get dark, and when the city gate is closed, without the Seven Princes, Li Xin will not even be able to enter the city gate, so the Seven Princes have been waiting here quietly.
His Royal Highness King Wei nodded at Li Xin and said softly, "The matter has passed, don't be too sad." ”
Cui Jiuniang also spoke of relief, and her voice was soft: "Li Gongzi is a person who values feelings, but after all, things are already like this, and it is still necessary to mourn and change." ”
Li Xin looked at the charcoal girl who had fallen asleep in his arms, and exhaled softly.
At the end of the day, not only was he tired, but this little girl was also tired, lying in her arms, crying and crying and falling asleep.
Li Xin looked up at the Seventh Prince and Cui Jiuniang, and his voice was calm: "When Li Xin entered Beijing, he was driven out of the capital by the Pingnan Hou Mansion and lived in a broken temple...... He lost his life. ”
Li Xin naturally wouldn't tell these two people that the charcoal seller committed suicide, he had to make these two people think that he was inseparable from the Pingnan Hou Mansion, so that he would have the opportunity to borrow from the Wei Wangfu to deal with the Pingnan Hou Mansion in the future.
Although His Royal Highness King Wei had no expression on his face, he secretly complained in his heart.
The reason why he takes such a fancy to Li Xin is that he can one day send Li Xin to the Pingnan Hou Mansion and let him recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, in other words, what he needs is the second son of the Pingnan Hou Mansion, not Li Xin, but now Li Xin is a little different from the Pingnan Hou Mansion, so he doesn't know what to do for a while.
Cui Jiuniang knew what His Royal Highness King Wei meant, she sighed lightly and said, "Gongzi Li, this matter is indeed something that Mrs. Yu did wrong, and Mrs. Yu must give an explanation in the future." ”
She spoke very wonderfully, and did not raise this matter to the level of Pingnanhou Mansion, but stopped at Mrs. Yu, the subtext was that this matter had nothing to do with Pingnanhou Mansion, and it was Mrs. Yu's behavior alone.
The Seventh Prince narrowed his eyes and said softly: "When the Marquis of Pingnan returns to Beijing, this king will personally come forward and ask the Jade Lady for an explanation on behalf of Brother Xin." ”
With a few words, these two people transferred all the contradictions to the Jade Lady.
In fact, Madame Jade is indeed the enemy of the Seven Princes. Because Mrs. Yu's son Li Chun is very close to his third emperor brother Ji Huan, and the purpose of the seventh prince to find Li Xin is to send him to the Pingnan Hou Mansion one day, even if he can't seize power, he must help keep watch over the Pingnan Hou Mansion, and can't let the military power in the hands of the Pingnan Hou Mansion be used by others.
If you can overthrow Madam Yu and the little marquis, and let Li Xin inherit the title of Pingnan Marquis Mansion, it will naturally be a great thing.
Li Xin stretched out his hand and slowly patted the little girl in his arms, and glanced up at the Seventh Prince.
"Your Highness means that I shouldn't blame the Pingnan Hou Mansion?"
His Royal Highness King Wei sighed, and his voice was sincere: "This king is for your sake, a person always has to return to the root in the end." ”
Chinese people have the idea of returning to their roots, especially the ancients, for their roots, or their own family very seriously, sometimes you kick a person out of the family, eliminate him from the family tree, even more than killing him makes him uncomfortable, so there are so many people, for their own small family to die.
Li Xin looked up at the Seventh Prince, his eyes calm: "Your Highness, do you know that I actually didn't enter Beijing alone. ”
Li Xin's voice was flat, as if he was telling a story.
"I followed my uncle into the city, and then the two of us were driven out of the Pingnan Hou Mansion and out of the capital, like two dogs."
The tone of this fifteen-year-old young man, although calm, was quite terrifying.
"My uncle was frozen to death, and the new grave next to the grave is my uncle's grave."
Li Xin looked directly at the Seventh Prince for the first time, and said: "I know that I don't have any ability to make His Highness valued, and the reason why His Highness is blue-eyed is probably because of my identity as the illegitimate son of the Pingnan Marquis Mansion." ”
The young man looked at the Seventh Prince, and his tone was sonorous.
"Here, I want to repeat to His Royal Highness, in my life, I will never have anything to do with the Pingnan Hou Mansion again, even if there is, it will be mutual enemies!"
Speaking of this, Li Xin took a deep breath.
"Li Xin's words are all here, no matter what His Highness's attitude towards Li Xin is in the future, Li Xin will not have any resentment."
