Li Xu welcomed Miss Li into the room and sat down.
The servant brought tea and Li Xu said: "Eldest sister came to the capital to inquire about news for my brother-in-law?"
After the Zhang family's incident, the situation in the north also vaguely improved. Now that the Yu family has arrived, the Kong family will not be able to hold back.
Miss Li nodded and said, "Besides, my family is also worried about you."
Li Xu was thinking about the Yu family's marriage, so his mother sent a letter home, mentioning Miss Yu San in the letter, as if if the marriage couldn't happen, it would offend the Yu family.
Li Xu didn't speak, and Miss Li said: "I'm not here for your marriage, and you don't have to be unhappy. That's your own business. In the end, you have to make the decision yourself." This is not sweet.
Miss Li knew clearly that forcing Li Xu too much was not her usual behavior.
After Miss Li said this, she looked at Li Xu carefully: "The current situation is like this, do you have any thoughts?"
Li Xu did not tell the emperor that he wanted him to return to the north to serve as an official. The Ministry of Civil Affairs has not yet issued a document, so it is useless to mention it now. He and Zhou Yue were drunk together before, and now it seems that he can still feel it.
Overwhelming fainting spells and ensuing headaches.
Li Xu calmed down his emotions and became as calm as usual. He raised his eyes, his eyes as clear as water, with a bit of sparkle in them: "The eldest sister went to Changzhou and came to the capital again. Like the Yu family, she also likes
To the southeast? Do the Kong family have enough energy to fight for a place in the southeast?"
Miss Li hesitated slightly, but soon she decided to tell the truth: "The Marquis of Guangping in the northwest is gone. If the prince of Guangping Marquis is still there, the northwest can be temporarily stabilized. However, the prince left first, leaving the second son.
It's hard to get anything done.
It stands to reason that the northwest is closer to our northern Xinjiang. It would be better if we could get an official position in the northwest. However, the court would also have some concerns. I am afraid that the generals are powerful. If we reveal such thoughts, the court may be suspicious.
Afraid that we want to be the second Zhang Yuchi."
Li Xu looked at Miss Li with some confusion: "The Kong family has always been in the north, why should they go to the southeast?"
Miss Li smiled slightly: "Ninth brother knows clearly in his heart, but he still wants to let the eldest sister speak out? If we all come together, we will be prosperous and suffer losses. If the officials in the southeast are in trouble, we may have a chance."
"Eldest sister, I'm afraid my trip will be in vain," Li Xu said. "Although Changzhou requires a lot of officials, they are all in other people's pockets. Whether it is the Kong family or the Yu family, fighting for them in the past is in vain.
It is better to guard your own family business while others are walking around, so that when there are changes in northern Xinjiang in the future, you can still fight with all your strength."
Miss Li listened carefully: "Are you talking about Xue Chen and the Song family? Although they have planned it for a long time, it is not that we have done nothing. Do you know that Shen Congrong, who was once the chief soldier of Fujian, is now in the guard station?
As commander, the Kong family has been communicating with Shen Congrong in private over the years. They finally established a relationship last year. I heard that Shen Congrong will go to Beijing to meet the emperor in the near future. This is a good opportunity. Shen Congrong speaks for us. We still have a chance to go.
Southeast."
Li Xu did not speak, only the figures of Song Chengxuan and Xu Qinghuan appeared in front of his eyes.
How could they give up the Southeast? Not to mention that Song Chengxuan had been in the Southeast for a long time and Xu Qinghuan was building momentum for him in Changzhou. No one could even think of taking any advantage from them.
Li Xu lowered his eyes slightly, trying his best not to think too much about Xu Qinghuan, but he didn't want to hear Miss Li's voice again in his ears.
"Is the marriage between the Song family and the Xu family really solid?"
Li Xu has no interface.
Miss Li said: "I heard that Mr. Song was almost 'recuperated' at home because of this marriage. Just based on his thoughts towards Miss Xu, the Xu family will reciprocate the favor."
Miss Li's words are profound.
Li Xu just nodded.
"Ninth brother," Miss Li said, "you are the smartest among the children of the Li family. You never need to be reminded by others. It is not easy to get from northern Xinjiang to the capital. Everyone in the Li family has high hopes for you. Even your brother-in-law
I also praise you for being brave and resourceful. The Li family will depend on you in the future.
Eldest sister knows that it’s not easy for you. The smarter and more capable you are, the harder it is, but you can’t let your previous efforts go to waste.”
Li Xu's eyebrows are long and slender. He usually has a calm expression and looks very warm. But now his eyebrows are relaxed and a little cold: "Elder sister, please rest assured!"
Miss Li breathed a sigh of relief. She was very happy when she heard the news about the marriage between the Song and Xu families. Li Xu had to withdraw her thoughts about the Xu family.
The Xu family is not bad. Marquis Anyi has a good reputation in the north. Even if Marquis Anyi no longer leads troops, this relationship can still be passed on to his children. The prince of Anyi Marquis is a dandy, and the one who can take over this is his son-in-law.
Unexpectedly, Xu Qinghuan was raised by the Xu family and had a weird temper. The first time his uncle visited the Anyi Marquis Mansion, he was stabbed by Xu Qinghuan. After Xu Qinghuan behaved like this, the two families could no longer get married.
After thinking about it carefully, it is no wonder that since An Yihou is still there, the eldest lady of the Xungui family will inevitably have higher standards. However, she did not expect that Xu Qinghuan would eventually marry to the southeast.
The southeast and the north are far apart. It is not a good move in any case. Is it possible that An Yihou has to abandon the northern border for the sake of his daughter's marriage?
This is also their opportunity. The Kong family, Li family, and Yu family may find a chance to capture Zhang Yuchi and completely hold Northern Xinjiang in their hands.
That's why she came to the capital, firstly to inquire about news for the Kong family, and secondly to remind Li Xu not to do anything wrong.
"Ninth brother," Miss Li continued, "you need someone who thinks about you at all times, is willing to take care of your inner house, and knows who understands you. Instead of being selfish and showing off all day long, for fear that you are not honorable enough.
, such a woman is eager to take advantage of opportunities and benefits, and you can’t stay with her for long.”
"Eldest sister, why do you always say these things?" Li Xu's voice was cold.
Miss Li didn't expect that Li Xu would be so disgusted, and couldn't help but be startled: "It's the eldest sister who made a mistake." Today, Li Xu is no longer the child who likes to listen to her talk about the situation in the north and is willing to use the Kong family's mechanics to ride and shoot into the military camp.
But Li Xu's changes are also very good, only in this way can he become a great player.
How could the candidate he had chosen be so bad?
Li Xu stood up and said, "I still have to go to the Yamen. The eldest sister will sit here comfortably. If necessary, please feel free to instruct the servants. I will talk to the eldest sister when I return in the evening."
Watching Li Xu walk out, Miss Li ordered: "Go and find out where Miss Yu San is staying. I'll go over and talk to her."
…
In the small courtyard of the Yu family.
Miss Yu San listened to the steward's report: "Miss Xu took Princess Jian to the village outside the city."
Miss Yu San unfolded the book in her hand, and it clearly recorded every case that Li Xu had done since arriving in Fengxiang. Then she discovered that Miss Xu was smarter than she thought.
No wonder Anyi Hou Shizizi happened to appear there and robbed Zhang Yuci's shopkeeper and several carts of gold cakes. She had underestimated Miss Xu before.
What is Miss Xu doing now? Such a big fight involves King Jian. Could it be that she is looking for an accomplice in the Su Wan case?
"Miss Third, Grandma Kong is here."
Hearing this, Miss Yu San's eyes lit up: "Where is he? Why did he come to the capital?"
"This servant is here to inform you that the Kong family's carriage will be arriving soon."
Miss Yu San got up and went to the Chuihua Gate to greet her.
Miss Li bent down and got out of the car. When she saw Miss Yu San, she laughed: "I didn't expect us to meet in Beijing."
Miss Yu San bowed and saluted.
"Get up quickly," Miss Li said. "After you left, I felt a lot more deserted. Now that I see you, I just feel that I have a lot to say to you."
The two people walked toward the yard while talking.
Miss Li had not yet entered the house and looked around: "Why are there so few people in the yard? Didn't you bring more nurses? Otherwise, I will lend you some of the Li family's nurses. You are a girl outside."
Don’t be careless.”
"I brought a lot of people with me," Miss Yu San said with a slight pause, "now they are all let out."
"Oh?" Miss Li was very surprised.
Miss Yu San said: "Miss Li is right, there is no peace in Beijing. A few days ago..."
Miss Yu San pursed her lips and did not continue speaking. She was put in a position by the Xu family and she became more careful in everything.
