Chapter 273 Waiting for the occasion to move
Li Xin has been busy moving these days.
Although the Ninth Princess was not very happy, Li Xin told her that the couple could not live together before they got married. His princess blushed and ran away with her face covering her face.
So Li Xin officially began to look for his third residence.
Originally, according to the Seventh Prince's intention, he wanted Li Xin to move to Yonglefang to live, so that it would be much more convenient to enter and exit the Wei Palace, but Li Xin did not agree.
Princess Ninth placed the princess's mansion in Datongfang for him. Now if Li Xin moved out of Datongfang instead, Princess Ninth would definitely be annoyed by him.
And he was also dissatisfied with it.
So under the arrangement of the Seventh Prince, they successfully bought a house with three in and three out in Datongfang, which is not far from the Princess' Mansion. It can be said that it is no different from living in the Princess' Mansion.
The money for buying a house is derived from Zhurongjiu’s commission. Li Xin and the seventh prince agreed in advance that Zhurongjiu Li Xin would draw 20% of the dry shares. Now Zhurongjiu is not included in the military. Just talking about the private income, the net profit of a month will also cost more than 10,000 taels of silver. With such a huge income, it is already very easy for Li Xin to buy a house in Beijing.
Buying a house in Beijing was an achievement that he had never achieved in his previous life, but it took only half a year to complete the quilt.
In order to have a peaceful house, Li Xin asked for a list of old soldiers who had withdrawn from the Yulin Guard from the old captain Wang Zhong and hired them as servants of the family.
As the emperor, Yulinwei is a relatively young yamen. Generally, those in Yulinwei who are over forty years old should be asked to withdraw from Yulinwei as appropriate. After these people withdraw from Yulinwei, they may enter other yamen to serve, or may be scattered in the local area and be unknown.
Wang Zhong has been a lieutenant in the Yulin Guard for decades, so naturally there are many lists of old Yulin Guard soldiers. Li Xinyong has always paid a monthly salary and hired about twenty or thirty talented Yulin Guard soldiers as guards, but there were finally no hidden dangers.
After moving, Zhong Xiaoxiao, who was originally a little depressed, became much happier and began to wander around this new home to get familiar with the new environment.
When I lived in the Princess's Mansion, the little girl never left her yard and was very afraid of being alive.
The house is big, but there was no one to live in for a while, so I still needed to find someone to renovate it. Li Xin also wandered around the yard, cleaned the yard where the resident was first, and asked someone to settle the mattress and other things, and then made a separate room for the little girl.
After the placement was put, the little girl held a pile of firewood and wanted to go to the kitchen to burn the fire.
In the Princess's Mansion, there are servants to take care of everything, and the little girl hasn't burned the fire for a long time.
Li Xin went up and reached out to pick her up, squeezed her little face that was already fleshy with one hand, and laughed: "You don't need to be busy anymore. I asked someone to buy a few maids at the Yashang store, and it should be delivered in the afternoon."
Zhong Xiaoxiao blinked: "What is the maid?"
Li Xin patiently explained to her: "It's just a maid who works."
The little girl nodded: "Then I will also use the maid."
Li Xin felt a little sad when he heard her say this.
This girl is only over six years old this year, but since Li Xin got to know her, she basically had to do work every day. In terms of labor, she endured even harder than the maids of wealthy families.
Li Xin pinched her face and chuckled, "You are not a maid, you are my brother's baby sister."
The little girl was still a little confused.
"Sister should burn fire for my brother."
In her mind, it is natural to burn fire and do work every day. It is precisely because of her simple personality that she is particularly popular. Whether it is Li Xin or Cui Jiuniang, they all like this little girl very much.
While the brother and sister were talking, there was a knock on the door at the yard.
Li Xin pushed open the door, and the seventh prince in blue clothes walked in.
"Brother Xin, I have asked Yashang to send you ten maids. You can use it first. If it is not enough, just say hello to me."
After a few days, the Seventh Prince has calmed down and is no longer as panicked as he did in the first few days.
Ten maids of similar heights stood in a row and saluted respectfully at Li Xin under the command of Yaxingya.
"The maids have met the master of the master."
Although these maids are not very beautiful, they are all pretty. The most rare thing is that they are about the same height and length, which is obviously carefully selected by the dentist.
What's even more rare is that they were sent by the Seventh Prince himself.
Among these ten maids, there must be people from the Wei Palace. However, Li Xin has no conflict of interest with the Wei Palace now, and there is no hidden matter. In addition, he has to rely on the Wei Palace to turn over. At this time, he can only pretend not to know and smile at the ten maids: "You all go down first, and I will arrange things for you tomorrow."
Li Xin gave the maid at the front a little money and said in a deep voice: "You go and buy some beds and settle yourself down."
The maid, who looked eighteen or nineteen years old, bowed her head respectfully and hurriedly stepped down.
Only then did Li Xin pull the Seventh Prince to sit down in his lobby, and smiled and said, "What's the matter with Your Highness so happy?"
The seventh prince smiled and said with a smile: "The news came from the Eastern Palace that the Crown Prince was angry with the minister Huan Chu because of political disagreement. As a result, the Huan Xiang was angry and left the Eastern Palace directly, complaining about his illness and returning home!"
After being in power for a few days, he offended a powerful prime minister...
This prince is such a genius...
Li Xin shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I have been lucky enough to see that Xiang Huan several times. He is a very elegant wise man. He cannot collide with the prince for no reason. It must be the place where the prince loses his duties."
The smile on the seventh prince's face was even worse.
"Does Brother Xin remember the last time you went to the southern Xinjiang to serve as the military commander, the Pingnan Army sent a memorial to the capital for pension?"
Li Xin narrowed his eyes: "Remember, if you remember correctly, His Majesty only sent the first batch of pensions at that time, and he dragged it behind him."
At that time, the Pingnan Army lied about the number of casualties and asked the court for pensions, but the court was not willing to give it. The suggestion of this pension was made by Li Xin to Emperor Chengde.
His Highness of the King of Wei finally couldn't hold back his smile and smiled: "This morning, the prince dug out the Pingnan Army's memorial request for pension from the Shangshu Desk. This memorial was beaten back to the Shangshu Desk by his father, and he actually criticized it!"
"It was because of this incident that Xiang Huan had a conflict with the eldest brother and was driven out of the Eastern Palace by the eldest brother. Then he was furious and took leave and went home to recuperate!"
Li Xin frowned slightly: "This prince...can't he be illiterate?"
Even the people in the capital saw that the outcome of the Pingnan Marquis’ Mansion was wrong. His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, was completely unaware of it?
In charge of the government, we naturally have to show our kindness, but giving kindness is not like this. If you give money to the Pingnan Army, can you still thank you for the Pingnan Army, which has been rebelling for more than 30 years?
Li Xin frowned and thought for a while, but in the end he couldn't figure out what the eldest prince meant.
The King of Wei Palace smiled and whispered: "Brother Xin, my father did not send the third division to the Eastern Palace."
Li Xin knocked on the table with his hand, and after thinking for a while, he said something irrelevant.
"Your Highness, the right camp of Yulin Guard has been recruited..."
