Unparalleled Concubine

She said softly: "Now you feel a little sorry for your wife and His Royal Highness Wei Wang back then, but in fact, in this world, it is impossible to satisfy everyone."

Cui Jiuniang turned the Buddhist beads in her hand, her tone was gentle.

"The reason why you feel uneasy is because you still have good thoughts in your heart. In fact, you are not suitable for what you are doing now."

"But God arranged for you to do it again, and you just accept it."

The big shopkeeper of Deyilou back then smiled calmly, just like the charcoal seller he saw more than ten years ago.

"Death is like a lamp being extinguished. It has been almost eight years since His Royal Highness the King of Wei passed away. He couldn't see what happened today, and you didn't feel sorry for anyone."

Chapter 1178 Taking the Final Step

Li Xin stayed in this nunnery all afternoon. He drank all the half jug of Zhurong wine he brought over by himself. Fortunately, half a jug of wine was only one catty, and he drank it slowly. , Li Xin was not drunk, but his face was slightly flushed.

Before parting, Cui Jiuniang looked at Li Xin whose footsteps were a bit vain, and frowned, "Why don't Lord Hou rest here for a while, and leave when he sobers up?"

Li Xin looked up at the sky and found that it was already evening. He shook his head and said, "No, I still have some things to deal with. I will visit my sister after I finish my work."

Cui Jiuniang sent him to the door, and said with some emotion: "When you are done with the things at hand, your status may be quite different from what it is now."

Li Xin was startled when he heard that, but he didn't say much, he just waved at Jiu Niang: "Sister Cui, pay attention to your health, I'll come and see you when I'm free."

Speaking of this, Li Xin suddenly remembered something, turned back to Cui Jiuniang and said with a smile: "There is something that I almost forgot to tell my sister, the little girl is probably pregnant, and it is estimated that in half a year, I will be a baby girl." Uncle."

"Sister, if you have time, you can go to her house to see her, and go out for a walk by the way, don't stay in the nunnery all day."

It has been two or three years since Zhong Xiaoxiao and Zhao Fang got married, but the two lived together after Li Xin came to Beijing. Naturally, it was inconvenient to live in the Jing'an Marquis Mansion all the time, so Li Xin bought the couple a small house in Yongle Fang, which was used as the residence of the Zhao family.

After more than two years of marriage, Zhong Xiaoxiao's stomach finally started to move. Li Xin only found out about this happy event a few days ago.

Jiu Niang leaned against the door and said softly, "Okay, I'll go to her house tomorrow to take a look."

When Li Xin worked hard in the capital in his early years, he often had no way to take care of Zhong Xiaoxiao, so he often left her with Cui Jiuniang. This girl can be said to be brought up by Jiuniang, and the two have a very deep relationship.

Li Xin, dressed in purple, waved at Jiu Niang and left gracefully.

After Li Xin walked away, a little girl who was following Cui Jiuniang looked at Li Xin's back and asked curiously: "Aunt Cui, who is this person? Talking for so long."

Cui Jiuniang has never been married in her life, but she did not suffer from psychological distortion because of this. On the contrary, she really hopes that the people around her will have a good home, so the maid who follows her often stays with her for two or three years before being married by her. Maid, I don't know how many times it is.

Jiu Niang glanced back at this little girl who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, her tone was a bit complicated.

"The most memorable day in your life is probably today."

Jiu Niang's tone was calm: "There is no second person like this who is willing to condescend to come to visit our small nunnery."

………………

Li Xin got into the black carriage waiting at the entrance of the alley, and after resting his eyes for half an hour in the carriage, he finally returned to the Jing'an Hou Mansion. As soon as he got off the carriage, the servants of the Hou Mansion hurried over and said Li Xin lowered his head and said, "Master Hou, Zhao Pushe and General Shenwuwei have been waiting for you at the residence for two hours..."

Li Xin breathed out a smell of alcohol, and said in a low voice, "I see."

It was not unusual for Zhao Jia and Li Shuo to visit, because once the news from Mu Ying was delivered to them, they would definitely come to see Li Xin.

Li Xin knew they would come early in the morning, but at that time he was a little confused, so he simply went out to drink and relax, leaving the two giants of the Southwest Army aside.

After he returned to the mansion, he washed his face first, then let out a few breaths, and walked towards the main hall of his house.

In the main hall of Jing'an Marquis Mansion, Zhao Jia and Li Shuo had been waiting for a long time. To be precise, after Li Xin asked Chen Shiliu to deliver Mu Ying's news to them, they visited almost at the same time.

At this moment, the two of them had been waiting for two hours in the Hou Mansion, almost a whole afternoon.

Seeing Li Xin walking in, the two quickly got up and saluted Li Xin.

"Congratulations to the Governor!"

The two spoke in unison.

Li Xin sat on the main seat on his own, looked up at the two people, and then smiled dumbly: "The two of you have discussed the speech here?"

Zhao Jia chuckled, "Then the governor has wronged the subordinate. The subordinate was waiting at the governor's mansion. He originally wanted to have a few words with General Li, but General Li remained silent and did not say a word. We Neither of them spoke a word."

After the Ji family's assassination of Li Xin last time, Li Shuo began to distance himself from Mu Ying and Zhao Jia. Until now, he would not speak a single word to these two people unless necessary.

This is due to Zhao Jia's personality, and it is also his way of dealing with the world.

He is ready to be Li Xin's "lonely minister".

Li Xin sat on the main seat, drank two sips of tea to dissipate the smell of alcohol, then pointed to the seats on both sides, and said, "Everyone sit down and talk, there is no need to be so restrained."

The two sat down together.

After Zhao Jia sat down, he smiled at Li Xin and said, "General Mu made a surprise attack for thousands of miles this time, and directly wiped out the king's tent of Xianbei! From now on, I will advance to the northern border, and there will be peace for at least 20 years."

He clapped his palms and said with a smile: "Grandpa Ye couldn't do this back then, but now under the leadership of the governor, we have managed to do it."

The minister's right servant shot his eyes scorchingly: "This is the destiny!"

Li Xin looked at Zhao Jia with a half-smile, and then said with a smile, "I understand Brother You'an's meaning, but Master Ye's situation back then was very different from what it is now, so we can't confuse it."

Zhao Jia coughed and said with a chuckle: "The governor said earlier that after the success of Northern Xinjiang, he will finish the unfinished business in the capital."

He spoke, stood up from the seat, and then knelt directly in front of Li Xin with a serious expression.

"Governor, everything is ready now, the right time, place and people are in place. Please obey the destiny."

Li Shuo also stood up from the chair, but he was not as anxious as Zhao Jia, but stood where he was, looking at Li Xin, waiting for Li Xin's next instruction.

Li Xin sighed, stood up and helped Zhao Jia up, and said, "Brother You'an, don't worry, I won't break my promise."

"Starting tomorrow, the soldiers and horses at the gates of the capital will be replaced. The Jingzhao Mansion Yamen, the Inspection Department, the Jinwu Guard, and the Water Defense Yamen, but all the yamen with soldiers will be taken over by people from the southwest department."

Having said that, Li Xin paused, looked at Zhao Jia and said, "From tomorrow onwards, those opportunistic civil servants who were restrained by Brother You'an can continue to work, but you must remember one thing, don't be too explicit, otherwise it will appear as a I'm waiting to be ugly."

At this point, Li Xin paused, and then continued: "First build momentum in the capital."

Governor Li turned his head to look at Li Shuo, and continued, "From tomorrow onwards, you will enter the capital with Shenwuwei and take over the defense of the gates of the capital."

"I will send three guards to control the imperial city."

Governor Li's voice was low.

"Since we have to do it, don't make any mistakes."

"Before Mu Ying returns to Beijing, she should do her best to prepare."
