Unparalleled Concubine

The seventh prince glanced at Li Xin with a smile: "You want to work in the court?"

Li Xin hesitated for a while, then nodded slowly: "If there is a chance, I will naturally become an official. If there is no chance, then I will do something else, which can help His Highness somewhat."

The Seventh Prince smiled and nodded, and said: "That's fine, you can rest at home first during this period, and this king will find you a decent place as soon as possible. As for the chance of becoming an official in the court, this king will try his best to Watch out for you."

In the official system of the Jin Dynasty, the right way of scientific examination is naturally the most important step of advancement, but besides this broad road, there are many other ways to enter the court, such as meritorious service, recommendation or direct reward from the emperor .

With the status of the Seventh Prince, it is not a problem to help Li Xin find an official position.

His Royal Highness Wei Wang said this, which means that he has agreed to the semi-alliance relationship between Li Xin and him. After all, what he needs is Li Xin's identity, not really asking Li Xin to help Let him make plans.

Li Xin shook his head and said, "Your Highness, the place I live in now is very good. You don't need to bother to find another place. If there is anything your Highness can do for me, just send someone there to find me."

With that said, Li Xin stood up from the low table, cupped his hands to the Seventh Prince and said, "Your Highness, it's almost time now, so I'll go back now."

The Seventh Prince smiled and nodded: "During this time, the people in the Tianmu Prison will still stare at you. If there is no need, stay at home and don't move around. The little prince Li Chun in the Pingnan Hou Mansion is a very vengeful man. Man, he lost all face this time. He must hold a grudge, be careful that he jumps over the wall in a hurry."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, I can handle it with only one Li Chun."

With that, he turned to leave.

The Seventh Prince winked at Little Nine Girls at the side, and said softly: "Go and see off Mr. Li."

Miss Xiaojiu responded and stood up, followed behind Li Xin, and walked towards the gate of the palace.

Walking all the way to the gate of Prince Wei's Mansion, Li Xin cupped his hands at Miss Jiu behind him, and said with a wry smile: "Miss Xiao Jiu, please stay, I know how to go back, so I will take my leave."

Miss Xiaojiu blinked her big bright eyes, her expression was aggrieved: "Does Mr. Li hate Xiaojiu so much?"

Li Xin coughed: "It's not that I hate girls, it's just that I cherish my life and just want to live for a while longer."

Xiao Jiu took a look at this young man in conspicuous cotton-padded clothes, waved his hand lightly, and smiled sweetly: "Then Xiao Jiu won't send you off, Young Master, go slowly."

Li Xinru heard the amnesty, turned around quickly, left the Wei Palace quickly, and walked towards the gate of Yongle Square.

Miss Xiaojiu looked at Li Xinyuan's back, and the smile on the corner of her mouth grew stronger.

Just now in the Nuan Pavilion, among the dozen or so people, only Li Xin was wearing an ordinary cotton padded jacket, and the others were either wearing brocade or fur. In comparison, Li Xin's sweater looked extremely shabby.

But this Li Xin was not only nonchalant, but also calm and composed, which made Xiao Jiu, who had seen many big men, very curious.

Has this young man reached a certain level of psychology, or... is he too shameless?

…………

After leaving Yonglefang, Li Xinxin had mixed feelings.

He didn't know whether his choice today was right or not. He even knew little about the Seventh Prince, but because he really had no choice, Li Xin had no choice but to fall to the only Wei Palace that was willing to accept him.

From the current point of view, only the Wei Palace can help him block the possible revenge from the Pingnan Hou Mansion and buy him enough time for "obscene development".

However, this kind of backwardness is not harmless. Seizing the heir is a clear-cut thing, that is to say, you either did not participate at all, or you participated in all of it. Today Li Xin nodded in Wei Wangfu , it means that he has been labeled as "Wei Prince's Mansion", from now on.

Li Xin may be able to enjoy some of the scenery of the Wei Palace, but once the Wei Palace collapses, they will all die!

In other words, from today onwards, Li Xin's interests may not be tied to the Palace of Wei, but his life is already closely tied to the Palace of Wei.

Thinking of this, Li Xin shook his head slightly and sighed softly.

"Everything is up to you."

If he was a person with official status, if he hadn't offended the Pingnanhou Mansion completely, then this matter would never have developed to this point. At least he didn't need to be attached to the Wei Wang Mansion, and he could easily get through it, but Now, the current situation has pushed Li Xin step by step to the current situation.

After Li Xin left Yongle Square, he was not in a hurry to go home. Instead, he went to Nanshi Street to buy a lot of things for the winter, and then carried them on his back to take them home. After spending half a day, he finally walked back to Datong. When I was in the square, I found that there was a beautiful woman with long hair fluttering in the yard, who had been waiting in the yard for a long time. Li Xin put the things on his back on the ground and saluted the beautiful woman.

"Meet Jiu Niang."

Cui Jiuniang smiled quietly, took out a contract from her sleeve, and said with a soft smile, "Young Lord, this is a house that His Highness asked my concubine to buy. From now on, this house belongs to you, Young Lord."

Is this...a work-sharing house?

Li Xin glanced at Cui Jiuniang with a smile, and said softly, "Sister, when did you get this deed?"

Cui Jiuniang said softly: "Just today, after receiving the news from His Highness, I couldn't wait to find the landlord and bought this yard."

Li Xin smiled but did not answer.

I'm afraid that the Seventh Prince bought this yard long ago...

Chapter 38 The Death of the Charcoal Seller

Although the small yard that Li Xin rented is not very big and the location is not very good, if this yard is sold, at least three or four hundred yuan is no problem. If you are lucky, you can even sell it for five hundred. through.

Five hundred crowns is still a lot of wealth for Li Xin now, but he is not pretentious. He reached out to take the land deed and house deed handed over by Cui Jiuniang, and said with a soft smile: "Since Sister Cui personally undertakes it, the younger brother will not accept it." You're welcome."

The current Li Xin is already half of the Wei Palace. Since he nodded, he should let it go. After all, a small courtyard is not a big favor. Even if it is in his hand, it will be repaid started.

Seeing Li Xin's sweet mouth, Cui Jiuniang's eyes turned into crescent moons, she said softly: "Mr. Li lives here alone, and there are old and young at home to take care of. A few clever girls, come to take care of Mr. Li."

A brothel of the size of Deyilou not only has the top brand, but also has a complete "talent reserve" system, which means that every year, a group of girls who have completed training will become newcomers to Deyilou, so as to ensure that the business of Deyilou will continue to grow. It will decline, and now Cui Jiuniang means to find some of Li Xin from this batch of "reserve girls" to be his maids.

Although Li Xin was very moved, he didn't want to be watched by the people of Wei Wangfu when he was eating and sleeping, so he smiled wryly and shook his head and said: "Sister, look at the courtyard of my younger brother, there are only three houses in total, and there are only three houses to live in." Three people is not bad, how can there be room for others."

Cui Jiuniang didn't force her, nodded lightly and said, "Since this is the case, my sister will not be too much trouble. If you need anything, just send a letter to Deyilou, and my sister will come forward to help you buy it."

Li Xin nodded with a smile, and then said softly: "Speaking of things, I really have something to trouble my sister."

Cui Jiuniang glanced at Li Xin unexpectedly, and then smiled softly: "Young Master Li, just say so."

Li Xin coughed, and said slowly: "My little brother came to the capital for the first time, and he doesn't know anything about the situation and people in the capital, so I want to get some information about the people in the capital from my sister."

As a prince, the Seventh Prince did not hesitate to condescend to build such a brothel. It is definitely not for making money, but more for the purpose of listening to the news in the capital. Therefore, the Deyi Building is actually an intelligence agency of the Wei Palace, Li Xin thought. If you want to know what the capital is like, Deyi Building is undoubtedly the best channel.

The smile on Cui Jiuniang's face subsided a little, she glanced at Li Xin, and then said softly: "This matter, I have to inform His Highness, so that I can make the decision. If His Highness agrees, I will know about it tomorrow. Send all the news to the young master, so that you can have a look at it."

Li Xin smiled and said, "Sister, I'm sorry."

The two talked for a while before Cui Jiuniang got up to leave.

Li Xin sent her to the door of his house, and after watching her sit on a small gray sedan chair, Li Xin slowly looked away.

From now on, he is no longer the lonely Li Xin. Now he is leaning against Wei Wangfu, and at the same time, he will inevitably step into this struggle, so he can no longer pay attention to the situation in the capital. Once it was blacked out, he had to understand the capital as much as possible, so as to judge the situation more accurately, so that the chances of surviving the Wei Palace were as high as possible.

If you want to understand the capital, it is best to start from the Deyi Building.

After seeing off Cui Jiuniang, Li Xin went back to the kitchen in the courtyard. In the afternoon, he bought a lot of things from the South Street Market. Firstly, he prepared New Year's goods, and secondly, he also satisfied his hunger.

After making a lot of dishes, Li Xin went to help the bedridden charcoal seller up. The old man's complexion has become more and more unsightly recently, and the doctors who invited him said that the old man was exhausted and could not live. too long.
