Unparalleled Concubine

Li Xin looked in the direction of Fatty Wu's finger, and saw a group of graceful girls walking over from a distance. Each of these girls held a lantern in their hands, and some of them were tied into lotus flowers or orchids. , and peony-shaped ones, the styles are extremely delicate, exhausting the little daughter's thoughts.

The fat man pointed at the girls.

"Brother Li, look, the one in blue is the granddaughter of Mr. Xu's family. She should be 15 years old this year. The third generation of Mr. Xu's family has the youngest son. That Mr. Xu is going to find a son-in-law for this granddaughter. Brother Li Let's see if she is pretty, if you like her, I will take you to Xu Guogong's mansion tomorrow as a brother!"

Li Xin looked at the fat man next to him speechlessly, and said in a low voice, "Brother Wu, I will never be a son-in-law."

As he said that, he patted Zhong Xiaoxiao's head, who was already a little sleepy, and turned to Fatty Wu and said, "Brother Wu, my sister is sleepy, so I'll take her back to rest. Check it out here."

Wu Daoxing stared fixedly at the girls, grabbed Li Xin's sleeve with one hand without looking back, and pointed to a girl in red clothes who was putting a lamp by the river with his other hand, and said with a smile, "Brother Li, don't let me go!" Hurry up, look at that one, the one in the red dress is the granddaughter of Chen Guogong's family, she is 16 years old, she is the same age as Hua, look how handsome this girl is, it's a pity that Chen Guogong's mansion does not accept a son-in-law, Otherwise, I will also tie you to Chen Guogong's mansion."

Li Xin had lost interest in this place at first and was about to go home. After hearing Fatty Wu's words, he looked back at the girl in red. The granddaughter of the mansion, he actually knew her!

This granddaughter of Chen Guogong's mansion was surprisingly the woman disguised as a man named "Mr. Ye" who bumped into him when he was riding a horse when he entered the capital. At that time, Li Xin had a quick glance and remembered her appearance.

The appearance that can be remembered at a glance is naturally very beautiful.

It's a pity that she hasn't lost money since she hit her. Although she looks beautiful, her character is really not very good.

After looking at it for a few times, Li Xin suddenly remembered something, turned his head to look at Wu Daoxing, and said in a low voice: "Brother Wu, is there a young master named Ye Mao in this Duke Chen's mansion?"

The fat man looked at Li Xin in surprise.

"How did brother Li know?"

Li Xin shook his head and was about to speak when suddenly a girl on the stone bridge spotted the two of them and immediately screamed.

"Sisters, it's that prostitute surnamed Wu!"

The faces of all the ladies turned pale in shock, and they all looked in Wu Daoxing's direction angrily.

"The thief, you dare to spy on us here!"

"There's also a little prostitute!"

Wu Daoxing's face changed slightly, and he turned his head and whispered in Li Xin's ear: "Brother, you have been discovered, run!"

After speaking, he didn't wait for Li Xin to react, and ran away in a hurry.

This is the first time Li Xin felt that the fat man can run so fast...

He took a deep breath, held Zhong Xiaoxiao with his left hand, and began to flee this place of right and wrong in a hurry.

God knows what such an outrageous thing this fat man has done, almost all of these ladies from noble families recognize him!

Chapter 63 A Broken Circuit

Although Fatty Wu is very fat, his legs and feet are very fast, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Li Xin was still holding a little girl by his left hand, so he was naturally much slower, but after he ran for a while, the ladies from the official family stopped chasing him. After turning around a few alleys, Li Xin heaved a sigh of relief.

That Fatty Wu should be a notorious existence in the capital, and if he hangs out with him, if he is recognized later, it will be difficult to marry a wife in the capital...

Thinking of this, Li Xin was afraid for a while. Fortunately, he resolutely rejected the fat man's idea of ​​proposing marriage for him just now. If he really asked him to propose marriage for some official lady, he might really have to go to other places in the future to find him. daughter-in-law...

The human heart is sinister.

Fortunately, those girls probably didn't see their own faces. Next time they see Fatty Wu, they must pretend that they don't know him!

Although Li Xin failed to "show his holiness in front of others" tonight, and he was extremely embarrassed, but it was not completely fruitless, at least let him know the origin of the "female son" who ran over him with a horse, she was from Chen Guogong's residence , then the little father-in-law Ye Mao who was in Wei Wang's mansion a few days ago was either her own brother or her cousin.

If you find your heel, it will be easy to handle. If you have no money in the future, you will lie at the gate of Chen Guogong's mansion and extort money. If you don't give the money, you will find a hemp rope and hang yourself in front of his house in the middle of the night!

Li Xin thought viciously.

After hiding for a while, after confirming that no one was chasing him, Li Xin pulled Zhong Xiaoxiao out of the alley, and said softly, "Girl, it's getting late, let's go home."

The little girl was too sleepy for a long time, she nodded immediately upon hearing this.

The two brothers and sisters were walking by the Qinhuai River, passing a three-storey shop, Li Xin hesitated, and said softly: "Girl, brother wants to go in and find someone, just say a few words and we'll leave."

The charcoal girl is a reticent character, basically she listens to what Li Xin says, she rubbed her eyes when she heard this, and said hello by pulling the corner of Li Xin's clothes.

Seeing that she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, Li Xin stretched out his uninjured left hand, hugged her in his arms, and said softly, "Sleep for a while when you're sleepy, and stay at home when you wake up." .”

The little girl is six years old this year. If it wasn't because she was too thin, it would be difficult for Li Xin to hold her with one hand, but this girl is severely malnourished, and she is as light as nothing. Li Xin held her in his arms with one hand , with little to no pressure.

The two brothers and sisters just walked into the Deyi Building.

Since the door of Deyi Building opened, Li Xin was probably the first one to bring the child in.

However, he often went in and out of Deyi Building for a period of time. The gatekeepers and the people working in Deyi Building all recognized him, and they didn't stop him, so they took Li Xin directly to the backyard of Deyi Building.

In the past, when Li Xin came to Deyilou to sell charcoal, it was usually in the morning, and the Deyilou looked deserted, but now it is the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Deyilou can be said to be bustling with people, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras can be heard endlessly. There will also be the sound of the Qing Dynasty people singing songs, and the voices of those literati chanting poems and lyrics. At the same time, a few characters with heavy makeup and similar to old bustards are soliciting customers on the first and second floors, and the whole Deyi Building is lively. Incomparable.

Li Xin was taken directly to a side room in the backyard of Deyi Building. Cui Jiuniang's girl, Ping'er, came over and poured him a cup of tea, and told Li Xin that Jiuniang was waiting for distinguished guests and would not be able to see him until later.

Li Xin nodded, put Zhong Xiaoxiao, who was already sound asleep, on the bed in the room, and covered him with a quilt.

As far as he knows, although Cui Jiuniang is in charge of this proud building, Cui Jiuniang does not work as a bustard. That is to say, under normal circumstances, she does not need to go out to greet guests. After all, there is His Royal Highness Wei Wang behind her. He also went out to meet guests, which means that there are important people in Deyilou.

Most likely it was His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince.

Thinking of this, Li Xin felt a little strange. If the Seventh Prince knew that he came to see Cui Jiuniang in the middle of the night, it would have some bad effects.

Just when he was thinking wildly, the door was knocked lightly, Li Xin got up and opened the door, and saw Cui Jiuniang in light blue clothes standing gracefully at the door, after seeing Li Xin, Cui Jiuniang smiled slightly: "A few days ago, The slave family invited Mr. Li to attend the Shangyuan Banquet in Deyilou, but Mr. Li flatly refused, the slave family thought Mr. Li was not interested in this kind of place, why did you come here by yourself today?"

This handsome young woman sometimes likes to make jokes about Li Xin. Li Xin coughed and blushed slightly: "Sister Cui misunderstood. I came here today because I have something to discuss with my sister."

Cui Jiuniang walked into the room slowly, sat on a chair, and said seriously, "Mr. Li, please tell me."

Li Xin also sat down, and said softly: "It's like this, the younger brother has discussed with the Seventh Prince, and he should be working in the Habayashi Guard after a while. This is the first time you enter the Habayashi Guard, and you must train in the Habayashi Guard camp. For a while, but my sister is young and can't take care of herself alone, Li Xin has no relatives in Beijing, so I will ask sister Cui to help me take care of this girl for a while."

Cui Jiuniang was a little surprised: "Mr. Li is going to be Habayashiro?"

There are 3000 people in Habayashi Guard, and most of them are young people, so the outside world calls it Habayashiro, which can be regarded as a good name.

Li Xin nodded, and said slowly: "My sister also knows that my younger brother has offended many people these days because of his status, so he has to find an official position for himself. First, my younger brother has no scientific examination, and second, he has no background. Advance to Habayashi Guardi, trying to find a way out."

Cui Jiuniang shook her head, and said softly: "Habayashi Wei is the son of the emperor's army. If you can sit in the position of Zhonglang General, your future future will naturally be limitless, but Habayashi Wei also talks about your background. Except for the first generation of Habayashi Guards, the rest of the Habayashi Guards Zhonglang Generals are all descendants of generals in the capital."

Although the Great Jin has only ruled the world for more than 30 years, before the rule of the world, the Great Jin existed as a country for 200 years. In this 200-year long history, all the generals of Habayashi Weizhong are almost from the family of generals Born.

Except for the first generation Habayashi guard.

The first generation of Habayashi guards were all martyrs who died in the army. At that time, they were called "Habayashi orphans".

Cui Jiuniang has been in Beijing for many years. In recent years, she has helped the Seventh Prince take care of the Deyi Building, and she has learned a lot of unknown news. She said softly: "Ordinary people enter the Habayashi Guard, and generally reach the position of Captain at most, and there is no further Possibly, the left and right generals and the middle generals above are all the children of the general family in Beijing, and the reason for this, Mr. Li is a smart person, so he should be able to understand it."
