Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 40 Attitude

This funeral was very frugal, to the point of being too frugal. Li Xin didn't even know the charcoal seller's surname, and even the little girl didn't know the surname of her grandfather. In desperation, Li Xin could only It is speculated that his surname is Zhong, and four characters are engraved on the tombstone.

  Zhongweng's Tomb.

In ancient times, this tombstone was actually extremely unconventional. Tombstones in this era should at least have to be tested first, first the concubine, and then the surname. Yes, you have to write the official title in front of the tombstone. A lot of words are serious. No tombstone is as simple or even as simple as this one, but Li Xin knows nothing about the life and name of the charcoal seller. , can only write a few words as simple as that.

   Even the surname of Zhong was added by him based on the surname of the charcoal girl. In Li Xin's estimation, it is unlikely that the old man's surname is Zhong.

After taking the little girl and kowtowing a few times in front of the tombstone, Li Xin stretched his body. He was exhausted after a busy day. He squatted down and helped the charcoal seller who was kneeling on the ground, and said softly: " Girl, let's go back and visit grandfather when you have time."

   The charcoal girl's eyes were swollen from crying, she hugged Li Xin's arm, her eyes were full of tears.

   "Brother, Grandpa, will he never get out?"

  Li Xin touched the poor little girl's head and said softly, "Don't be afraid, maiden, grandpa is gone, and my brother is protecting you. Grandpa just went to the sky, and he will always watch you from the sky."

   The little girl had more tears, she whimpered: "Brother, I'm afraid..."

It's normal for a little girl to feel insecure when the old man she was relying on suddenly disappeared. After Li Xin came to this world, he would often have this feeling, but Li Xin was a person in his thirties in his last life. Already mature, he is unlikely to cry like a girl.

  Li Xin stretched out his hand to hug the girl into his arms, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, Grandpa will bless the girl in the sky, and my brother will protect the girl in the future, no one can hurt you."

   The charcoal girl was picked up by Li Xin, her head was buried in Li Xin's shoulder, and she was still crying.

  To be honest, this girl has not had a good life with the charcoal seller for the past few years, but she did not blame the old man, on the contrary, she has a strong affection for the charcoal seller, which shows that she is a girl with a good heart.

  Looks old at the age of three. Although a person's character cannot be said to be stereotyped since childhood, some clues can be seen from childhood to be true.

   On the official road not far from the grave, a purple carriage was waiting there, Li Xin lifted the curtain and walked up, took a deep breath, and nodded slowly to the man and woman in the car.

   "Your Highness, Sister Cui, it's been a long wait."

It's almost getting dark now. When they return to the city, the sky will definitely be dark. The city gate will be closed by then. Without the seventh prince, Li Xin can't even enter the city gate, so the seventh prince has been quiet. The wait here.

   His Royal Highness King Wei nodded to Li Xin and said softly, "It's over, don't be too sad."

   Cui Jiuniang also spoke with relief, her voice soft: "Li Gongzi is a person who attaches great importance to feelings, but after all, this has already happened, so I still have to mourn and change."

  Li Xin looked at the charcoal girl who had fallen asleep in his arms, and let out a sigh of relief.

   After this day, not only was he tired, but the little girl was also very tired. She lay in her arms and fell asleep crying while crying.

Li Xin raised his head to look at the Seventh Prince and Cui Jiuniang, his voice was calm: "When Li Xin entered the capital, he was driven out of the capital by the Pingnan Hou Mansion and lived in a dilapidated temple. If it weren't for this old man, Li Xin would have frozen to death there In the ruined temple, the old man had saved my life, but I… caused him to lose his life."

Naturally, Li Xin would not tell these two people that the charcoal seller committed suicide. He had to make these two people think that he was incompatible with the Pingnanhou Mansion, so that he would have the opportunity to use the Wei Wangfu to deal with the Pingnanhou Mansion in the future. government.

   Although His Royal Highness King Wei had no expression on his face, he secretly complained in his heart.

The reason why he likes Li Xin so much is that he can send Li Xin to the Pingnan Hou Mansion one day and let him recognize his ancestors and return to the clan. In other words, what he needs is the second son of the Ping Nan Hou Mansion, not Li Xin. This person, now Li Xin has some incompatibility with the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, which made him not know what to do for a while.

Cui Jiuniang knew what His Highness Prince Wei meant, she sighed softly, and said, "Mr. Li, this matter is indeed Mrs. Yu's fault, and she must ask Mrs. Yu to give an explanation in the future. ."

   She spoke very strangely. She did not raise the matter to the level of Pingnan Hou's mansion, but stopped at Madam Yu. The subtext was that this matter had nothing to do with Pingnan's mansion, and was the behavior of Madam Yu alone.

  The seventh prince narrowed his eyes and said softly, "When the Marquis of Ping Nan returns to the capital, this prince will come forward in person and ask the lady Jade for an explanation on behalf of Brother Xin."

   These two people said a few words, and all the contradictions were transferred to the head of the jade lady.

   In fact, Madam Jade is indeed the enemy of the Seventh Prince. Because Madam Yu's son, Li Chun, was very close to his brother Ji Huan, the third emperor, and the purpose of the seventh prince to find Li Xin was to send him to Pingnan Hou's mansion one day. Help to look after the Pingnanhou mansion, and can't let the military power in the Pingnanhou mansion be used by others.

   If he can bring down Madam Yu and the little Marquis, and let Li Xin inherit the title of Pingnan Marquis, then it will be a great thing.

  Li Xin stretched out his hand and patted the little girl in his arms slowly, looking up at the Seventh Prince.

   "Your Highness means that I shouldn't blame the Pingnan Houfu?"

   His Royal Highness King Wei sighed and said sincerely: "This king is for your sake. In the end, you always have to return to your roots."

Chinese people all have the idea of ​​falling leaves and returning to their roots, especially the ancients. They take their roots, or their family very seriously. Sometimes you kick a person out of the family, eliminate him from the family tree, or even kill him. He also made him uncomfortable, so there are so many people who are willing to die for their own little family.

  Li Xin raised his head to look at the seventh prince, his eyes calm: "Your Highness, do you know that I didn't actually enter Beijing alone."

   Li Xin's voice was calm, as if he was telling a story.

   "I entered the city with my uncle, and then the two of us were kicked out of the Pingnanhou Mansion and out of the capital. We were like two dogs."

   This fifteen-year-old boy's tone was calm, but rather terrifying.

   "My uncle was frozen to death, and the new tomb next to the grave just now is my uncle's grave."

   Li Xin looked directly at the seventh prince for the first time, and said, "I know that I have nothing to make His Highness value, and the reason why His Highness is so attractive is mostly because of my status as an illegitimate child of the Marquis of Pingnan."

   This young man looked at the Seventh Prince with a sonorous voice.

   "Here, I want to repeat it to His Highness. In my life, I will never have the slightest relationship with the Marquis of Pingnan Mansion. Even if there is, they are mutual enemies!"

   Having said that, Li Xin took a deep breath.

   "Li Xinyan said this, no matter what his Highness's attitude towards Li Xin is in the future, Li Xin will not have any resentment."
