Chapter 191 Li Xin's Braids
After the little girl was taken away that night, she was locked in a room and refused to give it. The little girl who was afraid of life was really frightened. Although she was taken home by Li Xin, she kept hiding in Li Xin's arms and refused to come out.
Li Xin coaxed her for a while, went to the kitchen to get a bowl of egg custard, fed her, and then half an hour later, Zhong Xiaoxiao fell asleep in Li Xin's arms.
Li Xin stayed with her here for the middle of the night, and waited until early in the morning before he went back to his room to sleep for a while.
Before dawn the next morning, Zhong Xiaoxiao ran to Li Xin's room in a panic, saying that he had a nightmare and kept wiping his tears.
Li Xin shook his head, got up and patted her on the head, preparing to make her eat.
He was not in the capital for a long time, and the matter in the north was not yet married. He would leave the capital in a day or two and catch up with Wang Zhong and his convoy. However, seeing the little girl's condition, Li Xin was a little worried.
Li Xin took her into his arms, touched the little girl's head, and smiled and said, "Okay, the bad guys have been driven away by my brother, and no one will come to catch Xiaoxiao again."
Li Xin put her on his bed and whispered: "You are sleeping for a while. Is it okay if you go and get you something to eat?"
Zhong Xiaoxiao didn't sleep well, and after crying for a while, she was a little tired, and finally fell asleep in Li Xin's bed.
Li Xin looked at the sky, got up and washed his face, stood for half an hour, and went to the kitchen to steam a bowl of egg custard for the little girl.
In a state of shock, you should eat some mild things and take care of them slowly.
After the brother and sister finished their breakfast, the door of the yard was gently knocked.
Li Xin opened the door, and the seventh prince pushed the door and walked in. After seeing Zhong Xiaoxiao behind Li Xin, His Highness King Wei breathed a sigh of relief: "I slept early yesterday. After I woke up, Cai knew that Xiaoxiao was looking for her. Is this girl okay?"
Li Xin smiled and said, "Nothing big is that she is timid and scared."
The seventh prince walked into the yard, looked at Zhong Xiaoxiao, and shook his head and said, "Children are most afraid of being scared. If they hurt God, it is not a trivial matter. I will go and find a doctor to prescribe a prescription for calming the spirit, so that Xiaoxiao can drink a few doses of medicine and sleep a few more nights."
The child is not yet fully conscious. If he is scared, it is indeed easy to get into trouble. Li Xin nodded when he heard this and said softly: "Thank you, Your Highness."
"Brother Xin, please be polite."
His Highness of Wei sat down in the main hall of Li Xin's house, took a sip of tea, and then smiled: "Speaking of this morning, the palace had an order to remove all the real positions of Wuxun on that guy. Now, except for the identity of the prince of the Marquis of Pingnan, Li Xun is a commoner."
In a broad sense, the heirs of princes can be called princes, but this is the only one heir to be called the king's title on weekdays.
The seventh prince laughed and said, "The father has been banished for a year. Taking this opportunity, he sent two or three hundred inner guards to the Pingnan Marquis Mansion to supervise. Two or three hundred people can already see Pingnan Marquis Mansion tightly."
The Pingnan Marquis Mansion in the capital has more than a thousand roommates. If these divisions have sword armor in hand, their combat effectiveness may not be worse than that of the two guards. This is also one of the hidden dangers in the capital. This time, Emperor Chengde can be said to have taken advantage of the situation and sent the inner guard into the Pingnan Marquis Mansion. In this way, the palace can know any movement in the Pingnan Marquis Mansion as soon as possible.
At the very least, if the Li family changes, the Pingnan Marquis Mansion in the capital will definitely not be able to escape.
This is also one of the reasons why Mrs. Yu wrote a letter to Nanjiang.
Li Xin also sat down, took a sip of tea, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the Pingnan Marquis Mansion in the capital is no threat. We should no longer focus on their heads. We should continue to sell wine. How many wineries are there in the capital?"
His Highness King Wei smiled bitterly and said, "These days I have raised some money everywhere and borrowed some from several uncles. Finally, I have made three wineries. As long as I cook enough spring wine, it is not a big problem to steam a thousand kilograms of wine a day."
One thousand kilograms of wine, or fifty jars, is far more than the current sales volume of Deyilou. However, Li Xin and the others are preparing to sell wine across the country in the future. No matter how much it is, it is not too much.
Li Xin nodded and said, "After I went north, your highness will follow what we discussed before. In this way, the Wei Palace will no longer be short of expenses in two or three years."
"The only thing to note is that you should not let this method of steaming wine out for a short time, otherwise if another wine appears and maliciously bids with us, you will earn much less money in the future."
"Don't worry, Brother Xin."
His Highness King Wei said in a deep voice: "The people I use to steam wine are all servants who have bought them. If they can't go out of the winery, there will be no problems in a short period of time."
Speaking of this, he looked up at Li Xin and said, "Brother Xin is going to... when will he leave Beijing?"
"Tomorrow."
Li Xin said helplessly: "It has been delayed for a day or two. If you don't leave Beijing, you shouldn't be able to catch up with Wang Zhong and the others."
The seventh prince glanced at Zhong Xiaoxiao and whispered: "Then Xiaoxiao put it in Deyi Tower. There are many guards on Deyi Tower. Generally speaking, nothing will happen. Xiaoxiao has been scared these two days. If Jiu Niang helps take care of her, it will be much better."
Li Xin nodded and said, "I think this is the same as me, I'm just troubled Jiu Niang."
"No trouble, no trouble."
His Highness the King of Wei laughed and said, "Jiu Niang has nothing to do on weekdays, and she likes Xiaoxiao very much. If you send Xiaoxiao over, it's too late to be happy."
In the evening, Li Xin sent Zhong Xiaoxiao to Deyi Tower. After seeing Zhong Xiaoxiao, Jiuniang kept wiping her tears and hugged the little girl in her arms.
Li Xin bent down at Zhong Xiaoxiao: "Sister Cui, I will leave Beijing tomorrow, Xiaoxiao will entrust you."
Jiu Niang reached out and hugged Zhong Xiaoxiao in her arms, looked up at Li Xin, and took a deep breath: "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I will take good care of her anyway."
Li Xin took out a prescription from his sleeve and handed it to Jiuniang: "She has been shocked these days and needs to take a few medicines to calm the mind. I'm sorry, Jiuniang."
Cui Jiuniang took the prescription and was a little sad again.
"This girl is already timid, and those evil people are really a great sin..."
As she said that, she was about to shed tears again.
…………
Just as Li Xin was talking to Cui Jiuniang in Deyi Tower, His Highness King of Wei was summoned into the palace by Emperor Chengde. In the study of Changle Palace, His Highness King of Wei respectfully knelt in front of his father.
"Father."
Emperor Chengde held the memorial in his hand and did not raise his head: "Get up and talk."
The seventh prince stood at the hands of Emperor Chengde with his hands down, with a respectful expression.
"The father called my son to come, I don't know what instructions?"
His Majesty the Emperor put down the memorial in his hand, looked up at the seventh prince, and said calmly: "When will Li Xin leave Beijing?"
"tomorrow."
Emperor Chengde laughed and said, "This little baby is very powerful. The last time he came back from southern Xinjiang and reported the matters in southern Xinjiang, I thought the matter had come to an end, but I didn't expect that this child would keep a move."
The seventh prince nodded and said, "Person Li... is indeed very capable."
Emperor Chengde narrowed his eyes: "But he is not without weakness. After this incident, his braids were exposed."
After saying that, the Emperor looked at the Seventh Prince and his face was calm: "Did you see his little braid?"
His Highness the King of Wei nodded slowly.
