Chapter six hundred and forty-eight teach you to grill skewers

Old Man Ye spent the first half of his life dealing with the Yuwen family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He was quite familiar with the situation of the Yuwen tribes.

Of course, what he knew might have been behind the scenes of the Northern Zhou Dynasty through Ye Sheng, and then obtained some of the latest situations of the Yuwen tribes from the intelligence departments of the Jin Dynasty, which can be used as references to each other. There is a three-dimensional understanding of the Yuwen family who escaped from the deceased and escaped from the deceased.

You know, this Xianbei Yuwen clan once occupied most of the Jiuzhou, and almost unified the world like the Great Jin Dynasty. Even if they were defeated and fled outside the pass, their remnants drove away other tribes in the north without any suspense and occupied a large area of ​​grassland in the north.

This is a very fierce group.

Li Xin stayed in Duke Chen's mansion for a long time and had lunch at Ye's house. He didn't take the bus home until the evening.

The next day, he formally submitted a memorial to the court, saying that he had suffered secret injuries during the Western Expedition and wanted to recuperate at home for a period of time. The emperor approved Li Xin's request, leaving him with the position of Minister of War and recuperating with paid care at home. The affairs of the Ministry of War were handed over to the two ministers for temporary resignation.

At the same time, the pardons of Li Ye's grandchildren were also sent to the prison of the Ministry of Justice, and several young children, who were oldest, were released from the prison. Although these children were exempted from the death penalty, they were to be used as hard work or as a member of the Education Office. With Li Xin's mediation, they were sent out of the capital and raised in Li Xin's farm.

Li Xin’s Jing'an Marquis Mansion now has more than 20 hectares of land under his name. At this time, one hectares of land was fifty acres, which means that Li Xin now has a total of 1,000 acres of land. It can be said that he is a veritable landlord. His Jing'an Marquis Mansion has a special farm in the suburbs of Beijing.

There is also a manager of the Jing'an Hou Mansion in the farm, who is responsible for renting the land to tenants, collecting rent, storing grain, or cashing out the grain, and handing it over to the Hou Mansion regularly.

Li Xin only cares about these things, but it is easy to raise a few people in the farm. For Li Xin, it is just a matter of one word.

What is more difficult to deal with is whether these little babies from the Li family will have trouble in the future.

Of course, it is unlikely that they will be like in later TV dramas. Because their family was killed by the court, they became traitors and assassins when they grew up, and they were all determined to assassinate the emperor. This behavior is illogical.

Not many people will have the intention of resisting or even fighting back in the face of the huge state machine.

This is actually easy to understand. People in later generations can imagine whether anyone will think of rebellion and where to start when facing a huge state machine?

They finally got rid of the disaster, but for them, it is rare to be able to save their lives and live a life of silence.

The difficulty is whether anyone will come to find Li Xin’s trouble because of these little babies in the future.

However, in the past two years, Li Xin has been planning to build a house in his hometown Yongzhou. At that time, he can send these children to Yongzhou. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. After a long time, no one should pay attention to them.

……………………

After a day, Li Xin arranged the orphans in Li Ye's family. Then, the next day, he ordered his servants to leave the guests behind and prepare to start his low-key career.

But soon, his life was ruthlessly disturbed by his merciless life for only half a day.

After dinner in the afternoon, just as Li Xin was accompanying the Ninth Princess in the backyard, Chen Shiliu rushed over and lowered his head to him and said, "Marty, someone wants to see you."

At this time, Marquis Jing'an was sitting under a wooden pavilion in the backyard with Princess Ninth. A stove of red charcoal fire was placed in the wooden pavilion. The couple took three skewers of meat, and were grilling happily.

Zhong Xiaoxiao and Zhao Fang two little babies, one added charcoal to the stove, and the other brushed the sauce made by Li Xin on the skewers next to it.

The little girl Zhong Xiaoxiao took a small fan and slapped the fire from time to time, making the whole family feel happy.

After hearing Chen Shiliu's words, Li Xin frowned slightly: "Didn't he say he could just leave the door to thank the guests? He told the person that this marquis was injured and needed to rest, so he would not see the guests."

Chen Shiliu lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "Marty, the young man told that man so much that he said he was from the palace..."

"Come from the palace?"

Li Xin frowned slightly, put down the skewers in his hand, and smiled at the Ninth Princess: "Your Highness, please take them here first, I'll go and see who is here."

The Ninth Princess wiped her hands with a handkerchief, looked at the meat skewers that she had just baked before she had time to put them in, and said, "Do you want me to accompany you?"

Li Xin shook his head and said, "No need, you are here."

Li Xin got up, followed Chen Shiliu, walked towards the front yard of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, and walked to the main hall where the guests were welcomed. Li Xin saw the old man with gray hair and wide clothes.

He quickly met him and bowed to the old man, "Why did the eldest brother-in-law come here?"

The visitor was the first eunuch of the Chengde Dynasty, and Chen Ju, the tomb guardian of Zhaoling.

Chen Ju bowed his head and returned the greeting: "Hello Marquis Li, now our family can no longer afford to call this title."

Li Xin smiled and said, "The eldest brother-in-law will always be the eldest brother-in-law, no matter whether it is Chengde or Taikang."

Chen Ju shook his head and said, "Our family has resigned from his majesty as eunuch yesterday. From today on, we will no longer serve in the palace. We will leave the capital and go to Zhaoling later."

Li Xin was slightly shocked and asked with a smile: "The eldest father-in-law resigned from the position of the eunuch in charge, and the one who took over this position is..."

"We don't know either."

Chen Ju smiled at Li Xin: "When our family said goodbye to Your Majesty at noon, Your Majesty entrusted our family to bring someone to the Marquis of Jing'an, so we came to bother you."

Li Xin said in surprise: "The eldest father-in-law has brought someone?"

Chen Ju then slightly turned his body, and Li Xin saw a seven or eight-year-old boy standing behind his loose clothes. After the boy stood up, he bowed to Li Xin with a smile.

"I've met Master."

After seeing this little baby, Li Xin was stunned for a moment, and then immediately bent over and returned the gift.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince... Why did you come to the mansion?"

"I am in a position to welcome you if you are wrong, and your Highness forgives you."

Chen Ju hurried forward and helped Li Xin up. The old eunuch looked at Li Xin deeply and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has given him before, let His Highness stay in the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion for a few days, learn something from Marquis of Li, and wait a few days later that the Ministry of Rites is ready before officially apprenticing to the Marquis of Marquis of Justice."

"Your Majesty gave a special instruction that the Crown Prince was no longer the Crown Prince in the Marquis of Jing'an. He was just a student and nephew of Marquis Li. There was no monarch and minister here, only master and apprentice, and aunt and nephew."

Li Xin's daughter-in-law, Princess Ninth, is the sister of Emperor Taikang. The little kid in front of him is indeed Li Xin's nephew.

The prince walked to Li Xin with a smile and said, "Uncle, where is my aunt? I miss her."

When Emperor Taikang was in the Wei Palace, the Ninth Princess stayed in the Wei Palace for many years and had long been familiar with the former prince.

Chen Ju looked at Li Xin with a smile, bent down and said goodbye. Li Xin gave him a few steps, and asked Chen Shiliu to take his place to send Chen Ju out of the main door.

When Chen Ju walked away, Li Xin looked at the little kid at his hand and felt speechless.

That emperor had such a heart that he had thrown a country to himself.

Any eunuch in the palace sent the prince over, Li Xin could ask him to take the prince back, but Chen Ju sent it back. Li Xin had no choice. After all, Chen Ju didn't have to go back to the palace.

Thinking of this, Li Xin glanced at the little prince helplessly.

"Your Highness, I'll agree to stay for two days and take you back."

"That won't work."

His Royal Highness turned his eyes and said, "Auntie is much more comfortable here than in the palace. I finally left the palace and I lived here!"

As he said that, he ran towards the backyard of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion excitedly, still shouting "Auntie".

Li Xin sighed helplessly.
