Jincheng is 4,000 miles away from the capital, while Yongzhou, which is located south of the Great Jin Dynasty, is only 2,000 miles away. Two thousand miles away is not close, and it is not too far. If you ride a horse and rush, it will take about ten days to arrive. However, Li Xin is sitting in a carriage, which is relatively slow, and it will take about half a month to arrive.

It took him about twenty days later that he arrived in Qiyang County, Yongzhou.

Originally, officials of his level had to welcome him respectfully to a small place like Qiyang County, whether it was Qiyang County or Yongzhou County, they had to welcome him respectfully. However, now the real "Jing'an Hou" had arrived in Qiyang County more than a month ago, so naturally no one would welcome him. Chen Gang drove a carriage and entered the city from the Xicheng Gate of Qiyang County, and walked to the Li Mansion in Qiyang County.

This house in my hometown was built by Li Xin after returning to Qiyang ten years ago. The money was paid by the Marquis of Jing'an. It was not far from Qishan and covers an area of ​​about twenty acres.

When he asked someone to build this house, he was still in the honeymoon period with Emperor Taikang. At that time, he never thought that one day he would reach this level today. The plan to build this house was to become an official one day, so he went back to his hometown to take care of his children.

However, at Li Xin's current level, this house covering an area of ​​more than 20 acres is relatively shabby, but in such a large place, it is more than enough to live in their family.

In the past ten years, Li Xin was not in Qiyang County. Lin Hu was helping to take care of this house. After Lin Hu left Qiyang, the house was temporarily vacant. More than a month ago, the Jing'an Marquis Mansion and the eldest princess of the dynasty brought their family back to their hometown and lived in.

For a time, no matter the county or government office, I didn’t know how many people came to Li’s mansion to see Marquis Li and Princess Qinghe every day. However, after this extremely noble family entered Li’s mansion, they never came out except to go up the mountain to visit Mrs. Xiao’s grave once. Even the prefect of Yongzhou Prefecture could not see the real master.

Chen Gang's carriage stopped at the back door of Li's mansion. Li Xin, with the help of Shen Gang, walked off the carriage and walked towards the back door of Li's mansion.

The person in charge of guarding the back door was the troops brought by the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion from the capital. They all recognized Li Xin. After seeing that it was Li Xin, they immediately lowered their heads and fists: "Mr. Marquis!"

Li Xin nodded, walked into the house, and looked around.

Although this place is his property, he has never been there once. When the house was built, he was the Marquis of Jing'an of the court and the Minister of War of the Third Rank. Therefore, the house was built according to the house of the third-rank official. Although it was not very big, the yard was winding and secluded. After ten years, all kinds of flowers and plants grew very prosperous and were very suitable for living.

Marquis Jing'an looked around and felt very satisfied.

They entered the Li Mansion through the back door. After passing through the back garden, they entered the back house of the Li Mansion. At this time, the Ninth Princess had already received a notice from the servant and came forward with her eldest daughter Ahan.

Li Xin bent down and hugged the five-year-old eldest daughter in his arms, and said with a smile: "Ahan, do you have any habit of missing dad and living here?"

Xiao Ahan hugged his father's neck and rubbed it intimately.

"This place is a little smaller, and everything else is pretty good. My mother took me and my brother to the mountain to kowtow to my grandmother."

Xiao Ahan blinked his big eyes and said crisply: "My mother also took us to see the small wooden house on the mountain, saying that when my father was young, he grew up living in that wooden house with his grandmother."

Li Xin reached out and touched the little girl's head, and said with a smile: "Dad grew up there. There are many fun things on the Qishan Mountains. Is it okay if my dad takes you to the mountain to catch hares tomorrow?"

"Okay~"

When Ahan was born, Li Xin was unemployed in the capital and he liked daughters. Therefore, when he was a child, Ahan was almost Li Xin personally and was very close to Li Xin.

After the father and daughter got tired of each other for a while, the Ninth Princess took Ahan back to her arms and then looked at Li Xin.

"There is no meal on the way, so I'll have someone go and prepare."

As she said that, she sighed and looked at Li Xin with resentment: "I don't know what you are going to do. Even Shiliu was transferred out by you. Without him at home, I have to take care of everything myself, and it's very troublesome."

Speaking of Chen Shiliu, Li Xin frowned in a faint and unpredictable manner, and then said, "Shiliu is going to help me with work, and I will be back in a few days."

The Ninth Princess nodded.

"Let's go, I'll take you to dinner."

The couple held the child and walked towards the Li Mansion's living room. Li Xin asked while walking: "Have you encountered any trouble living here?"

"There is no big trouble. It's just that Yongzhou is more wet and hotter than Beijing. Ahan has prickly heat on her body. She can't stand the itch and she keeps scratching her, and some places are bleeding."

Li Xin reached out and pinched his eldest daughter's face, and asked with a smile: "Why don't you listen to your mother and don't scratch it, it will become more and more serious."

Ahan lowered his head a little aggrieved.

"But it's very itchy..."

"Besides this, there is one more thing."

The Ninth Princess continued: "Since we came to Yongzhou, officials at all levels in Yongzhou have been playing with you, and even the strategy of Jinghu South Road has come once, but I have blocked them. Now more than a month has passed, and basically those officials have dispersed."

Speaking of this, the eldest princess frowned slightly.

"But there is a local squire who still sends people to your door every day, begging you."

Hearing this, Li Xin frowned: "Xiao family?"

The eldest princess nodded and sighed: "Xiao Mingli, the eldest son of the Xiao family, has been there a few years ago. The current Xiao family is the head of Xiao Xiuqi. This Xiao family has come to the mansion to ask for a meeting several times. I have been here yesterday, but I have rejected it."

Xiao Mingli is Li Xin's grandfather, and Xiao Xiuqi, the new parent of the Xiao family, is Li Xin's uncle.

Because of the conflict between his mother and the Xiao family in his early years, he made a big fuss about the Xiao family ten years ago and forced their family to change their surnames. Now, ten years have passed, and Xiao Mingli, who forced his mother to leave, has passed away, but the Xiao family is still as tempted as ever.

Li Xin frowned, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, don't worry about them, I'm too lazy to see their family."

Princess Nine nodded, took Li Xin's hand, and asked softly: "How long do you want to stay in Yongzhou?"

Li Xin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, our family will stay in Yongzhou for a long time. It is also very good here. We can enjoy the purity here."

The Ninth Princess gave Li Xin a blank look.

"You, you are always unwilling to tell me the truth. How long can you stay in your hometown even if you return to your hometown?"

Marquis Jing'an smiled unanimously.

"Madam, this time the imperial court doesn't come to invite me, I won't go back."

The Ninth Princess snorted and walked far away.

Just when Li Xin and his wife were flirting in Yongzhou, dozens of memorials from the southwest had been sent to the capital through the post station.

These memorials will be delivered to the Shangshutai first and then to the emperor.
