Chapter 374: A Bite of Food

This is a proposition, Li Xin coughed violently, and looked back at the eldest princess of Qinghe.

"How do you know her?"

The ninth princess blinked, gritted her teeth and said, "I've lived in that garden for so long, I can't listen to others, those descendants of the Qi family said that you almost became the uncle of the Qi family." ”

Rumors kill people......

Li Xin said with a bitter face: "Heaven and earth conscience, I fed the fish with that Miss Qi a few times, but I didn't do anything else......

The ninth princess was about to speak, when Mu Ying's voice came from outside the carriage.

"Princess, Master Hou, someone is blocking the road in front, saying that he wants to see Lord Hou."

Li Xinru was granted amnesty, and hurriedly spoke: "Let them wait, and I'll come down." ”

Originally, if it was another time, Li Xin would have to ask who it was before deciding whether to see him, but at this time, even if the evil dragon was blocking the way, Li Xin would not hesitate to meet.

He turned his head and said to the Ninth Princess, "Your Highness, you wait here for a while, and I'll go down to see what the situation is." ”

The Ninth Princess gave him a blank look and did not speak.

Li Xin hurriedly jumped out of the carriage.

At this time, they had already left Qiyang County for some distance, and those who saw them off had long been invisible, and it stands to reason that there were six or seven hundred soldiers in their vicinity, and no one would dare to block the road no matter what.

Seeing Li Xin jump out of the carriage, Mu Yingcai whispered in his ear: "Master Hou, they are in front, there are forty or fifty people. ”

Li Xin glanced at him in surprise.

"I thought you were talking nonsense, and someone was really blocking the way?"

Mu Ying nodded and said, "It's the Xiao family." ”

Jing Anhou coughed, and then smiled.

"Interesting, they still dare to come to see me."

At this time, it was early summer, and it was not too hot, but everyone also changed into single clothes, although Li Xin was a marquis and a squire of the military department, he usually liked to wear Yu Linwei's regular clothes.

Because of the pure black Yulinwei regular clothes, the white tiger embroidered on the chest is very handsome.

Li Xin and the Nine Princesses were in the middle of the team, he crossed the crowd and slowly paced to the front of the team, Xiao Mingli, who had changed his surname to Xiao, and the Xiao family, were waiting on the side of the road.

Li Xin walked over.

"Ladies and gentlemen."

He glanced at these people and looked calm: "What's the matter?" ”

Li Xin is from Qiyang, and he also speaks Qiyang dialect, so he still communicates well with these Xiao families.

Xiao Mingli walked slowly in front of Li Xin on crutches, and after a little hesitation, he said: "Hou Ye Li is leaving, so the old man will bring his family to send Hou Ye off." ”

A mocking smile appeared on Li Xin's face.

"You don't need Master Xiao's kindness, for so many years, Li Xin doesn't know your Xiao family, and he is living well."

Xiao Mingli let out a long sigh and said slowly: "Knowing that the Hou Ye was angry with the events of the year, the old man didn't dare to ask for forgiveness, he just wanted to resolve this grudge." ”

The gray-haired old man bent down at Li Xin.

"Qinglan's mother left early, and the old man didn't know how to teach his daughter, knowing that she was pregnant at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and she didn't eat for several days when she was angry."

"Later, the old man asked her to kill the child, and was going to find her a lower door, marry her, and barely be able to live in peace, but she refused."

Xiao Mingli lowered his head and said with a wry smile: "I beat and scolded, and I scolded and scolded, the old man really has no choice but to drive her out of the house, otherwise if the child is born, our Xiao family will become the laughing stock of Qiyang County." ”

In fact, Old Man Xiao is right, the social environment of the Great Jin Dynasty is somewhat similar to the Northern Song Dynasty in another world, although the etiquette system has not yet reached the point of appalling, but remarriage will be chewed by people, not to mention pregnancy before marriage.

From the perspective of the Xiao family, the Xiao family has not done anything wrong except being ruthless.

"Hou Ye is in it, naturally he should hate the Xiao family, the old man has nothing to say about this, I am here to send it to Hou Ye, just to let Hou Ye know the details of the year, so as not to continue to hate the Xiao family."

Li Xin closed his eyes and was silent for a long time.

Finally, he opened his eyes and asked, "Master Xiao, are you saying that my mother is to blame?" ”

"Qinglan was still young at that time, what did she know?"

Xiao Mingli gritted his teeth and said: "The hateful thing is the person who lied to her, that person has not been heard from for more than ten years, if he comes back, even if he takes Qinglan into the room as a concubine, Qinglan will not be burdened with more than ten years of infamy and end up like this!" ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Mingli raised his head and glanced at Li Xin cautiously.

"Marquis Li, you are in the capital, see ...... That person didn't? ”

Li Xin nodded: "I see." ”

Xiao Mingli sighed and said, "Originally, no matter what, the Xiao family should also go to the capital to find that person to ask for an explanation, since he recognized you and did not treat you badly, the Xiao family has a small business, so they will not be involved." ”

Li Xin sneered: "Who told you that I recognized him?" ”

Xiao Mingli was stunned.

Because the person he sent to the capital to inquire about the news has not yet returned, to this day he still thinks that Li Xin inherited the family business of that scumbag father in the capital, so he will have such a prestige.

Li Xin raised his head slightly, and said proudly: "Master Xiao, listen up, the Jing'an Hou of the Great Jin Dynasty is also the first Jing'an Hou of the Great Jin Dynasty, and he has nothing to do with that person. ”

Xiao Mingli opened his mouth slightly, and his whole person froze.

Li Xin sneered: "Do you know why I can climb so fast in the capital?" ”

"For one day I will come to the man of your mouth to settle for his sins."

"I've found him."

Li Xin's face was expressionless.

"When I'm a little higher, I can go to him to settle accounts."

Xiao Mingli was stunned, he suddenly didn't know what to say.

Li Xin is already the Marquis of Jing'an, the squire of the military department, and he is a court horse, but he is still not tall enough, that is to say, that person is even taller than Li Xin?

So how tall should that person be?

Li Xin took a deep breath and looked at the gray-haired old man in front of him lightly.

"Master Xiao, I want to ask you a question."

"Master Hou, excuse me."

Li Xin opened his mouth and said: "If I come back this time, I am not a Marquis of Jing'an, nor a squire of the military department, but just a penniless gangster, will Master Xiao still recognize my mother, will he come back in a hurry and say this to me?" ”

Xiao Mingli has told lies many times in his life, and he should have been familiar with it a long time ago, but this time he couldn't tell a lie, and after being silent for a long time, he said astringently: "Probably...... No. ”

"That's it."

Li Xin smiled: "In the eyes of your Xiao family, the face of etiquette is greater than family affection, and the position of power is greater than the face of etiquette, did my mother do it right back then, needless to say for the time being, just say that she has been working Qishan alone for so many years, embroidering every day to make money, and then her eyes are about to be opened, can you Xiao family see it?" ”

"The Xiao family can deny her, but send her a bite to eat?"

"Master Xiao also said that she was still young at that time, did Master Xiao ever think about what it was like for a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman to take her child in the mountains, and in the summer in order to drive away mosquitoes for her child, she didn't sleep all night and night?"

These are all things that my uncle once told Li Xin.

Li Xin took a deep breath and said: "Indeed, as Master Xiao said, there were right and wrong things in the past, the Xiao family first raised her for sixteen or seventeen years, and then she also suffered alone for sixteen or seven years, I think it should be okay?" ”

"I sent someone to check the foundation of your Xiao family, there is a Xiaojia town in Qiyang County, you entered the Xiaojia county from there, and now, the Xiao family is in Xiaojia Town, not to mention there are thousands of acres of land, do you send her a bite to eat?"

"If you don't recognize her, can't you help her?"

Li Xin looked coldly at Xiao Xiuqi behind Xiao Mingli.

"This son of Master Xiao, the eldest son of your Xiao family, if I remember correctly, he has a five-room concubine, how happy his wife and beautiful maid are, if he remembers that he still has a sister, my mother will not die at the age of thirty-three!"

"But the Xiao family seems to have forgotten that there is such a person as her."

"She's just getting a chill!"

Li Xin's face was frosty.

"Your family doesn't miss her mouthful of food, but you didn't give it!"

"Now Ben Hou can actually give your family a bite to eat, and even with just one word from me, your family can jump out of Qiyang County, no longer a small landlord, and become the number one family in Yongzhou."

Speaking of this, Li Xin's face was expressionless.

"But this sentence, Ben Hou is reluctant to say, this meal ......"

"Ben Hou doesn't want to give it either."
