The snow in Yanjing fell all night.

In the morning, many of the guys on duty in the shop were blocked in the door by knee-high snow.

More than a dozen strong men, dressed in black, went out from the Three Princes' Mansion and went to the mansions of famous families in Yanjing.

On the saddle of each horse hung a brocade bag, which seemed to contain letters.

The day before, the eyes of the masters of each family had already detected that the servant who came out of Deshui Xuan was going to the Three Princes' Mansion, and the huge bag was also left in the Three Princes' Mansion.

As we all know, the Three Princes' Mansion is a place where it is more difficult to "seep into the water" than an iron bucket.

Seeing that the bag was sent to the Three Princes' Mansion, the masters of each family were unwilling, so they had to die and wait with peace of mind, and see what would happen next in the Three Princes' Mansion.

The first to receive the invitation and the menu was the De Ping Bo House.

As soon as the subordinates of Depingbo's Mansion opened the door of the mansion with a broom, they saw that a strong man in black who came out of the third prince stopped his horses at the door of his house.

"The third master of my family, let me send the menu of invitations and wedding banquets."

As he spoke, the strong man in black jumped off his horse, took out two invitations from his brocade pocket, and handed them to the man.

"Invite De Pingbo to the feast."

"Invite Lan Qi Gongzi to the banquet."

The strong man in black was like a bell, and the sweeping servants who came forward were shocked, and instinctively took half a step back.

According to the rules, a wedding invitation can usually bring two people to the banquet.

Most of the time, the person who receives the invitation will bring the concubine who is most popular with him to the banquet, and if there is no concubine at home, he will bring the concubine.

And today, Ling Jun sent two invitations to Depingbo's Mansion, one of which specifically named Li Lanqi, and its purpose will naturally lead people to reverie and speculation.

"Sir, wait a minute, the little one will report to the housekeeper."

Look at the person who came in a black suit, riding a horse, it is also a good horse, not like an ordinary person, and it is from the Three Princes' Mansion, after receiving the invitation, the servant hurriedly lost the broom in his hand, and touched his hands on the clothes.

After making sure that his hands were clean and clean, he carefully accepted the two invitations, answered the promise, and trotted into the door to report.

The messenger must have been able to do some work.

However, he did not wear a military uniform, nor did he wear a sign symbolizing his official rank, so in order not to touch the other party's brow and cause trouble for himself, this sweeping servant called the strong man who came to deliver the letter "sir" according to the old practice.

Those who teach the Code of Poetry and Etiquette can be called Mr., and those who teach fist and foot equestrian skills can also be called Mr., even if they are not good at anything, according to the ancient books, those who specialize in the art industry, and those who have greater ability than themselves, can be called Mr.

Simply, in this world, there are only a few people who will mind being "looked up" by others.

The servant trotted to and trotted back.

Behind him, there was a gray-haired man, looking at the clothes, it should not be an ordinary person.

This person is Li Qi's father, the "genuine" housekeeper of Depingbo Mansion.

"Mr. Lao ran this trip early in the morning, and he was terrified."

As he spoke, Steward Li politely saluted the strong man in black, stepped forward, and stuffed a red purse embroidered with "Sui Ji" into his hand.

Rewarding those who deliver invitations is something that every prefecture does.

It's just that the reward of Depingbo Mansion this time is slightly more than usual.

"I don't know, Her Royal Highness the Princess-to-be, when will you enter Beijing?"

Men and women are seated differently.

And according to the old practice, there are banquets attended by ladies who have not been out of the pavilion, and men must be strictly prevented from entering and leaving.

Therefore, the invitation to this feast is usually sent by the housewife who is about to pass through the door, two to three days later than the invitation to the man to the feast.

Therefore, Steward Li asked the strong man in black at this time when Liu Qingxin would enter Beijing, which could not be regarded as a transgression.

"Master's business, those of us who do things, how dare we ask nonsense!"

After checking the reward handed over by Steward Li, the strong man in black pursed the corners of his lips and threw it into the brocade pocket hanging on horseback.

It seems that he is quite dissatisfied with the "stinginess" of the Li Mansion.

"Sir, that's what you learned."

"Masters, you must have your own plans."

A person who has been in charge of the Depingbo Mansion for many years and is still alive and well cannot be a fool.

Seeing that the strong man in black only accepted the reward, he prevaricated him, and he didn't mean to ride away, how could he not understand what he should do?

Turning his head, he waved his hand at the servant of Sausa, signaling him to get out.

Then, half a step forward, he stuffed a red purse that was the same as the one just now into the hand of the strong man in black, "In the past few days, Young Master Lanqi, on the orders of the old man, went to Zhuangzi outside the city to check the accounts, and when he comes back, he will definitely go to the house to thank him. ”

"The princess heard that Young Master Lan Qi has a good relationship with many doctors in Yanjing."

"In a few days, I plan to invite Yanjing doctors to discuss medical Taoism."

The strong man in black had already been instructed by Ling Jun how to deal with the Li family's housekeeper, and it was naturally not cramped to deal with it at this time.

"If the government contacts Young Master Lanqi, please bring the princess's message."

"If there is no hope, please inform the Third Prince's Mansion within three days, so that my third master can make plans as soon as possible."

Putting away the second red purse handed over by Steward Li, the face of the strong man in black seemed to have eased slightly, and the tone of his voice was no longer as cold and hard as just now, "It's not early, there are still many invitations to be sent below, say goodbye." ”

Respectfully saluted in the direction where the strong man in black had left.

Waiting for his figure to disappear on the street corner, Steward Li slowly stood up straight, and rubbed his back with some regret.

I was in too much of a hurry to go out, so I only prepared two rewards, otherwise, I should be able to pull out more news from the mouth of this strong man in black.

The capital is, the Three Princes' Mansion is like an iron plate that can't be kicked, whoever hits it will hit the head and break the bloodstream, but ...... Judging from today, at least, judging from the attitude of the strong man in black who delivered the letter, it seems that this is not necessarily the case......

Thinking of this, Steward Li hurriedly turned around, walked quickly, entered the Depingbo Mansion, and went straight to Li Ming's study.

Li Ming is used to getting up early, and at this time, he should be practicing guns.

He had to put Li Lan into the "magic eye" of the quasi-princess as soon as possible, and tell Li Ming to know, so that he could make a decision and change his plan as soon as possible.

……

It is similar to the time when the invitation was received.

Another strong man in black appeared at the door of the Chengguo Mansion.

His appearance collided "by coincidence", and Zhu Shize and his party were about to send Li Yuanru's coffin out of the house and go to Zhuangzi outside the city.

Wedding invitations are a red thing.

Helping the coffin out of the city is a white matter.

The collision of red and white is taboo and disgusting to many famous families.

Seeing that the person who came was Ling Jun's subordinates, with a section of red satin tied on the horse's head, Zhu Shize was busy carrying the coffin and avoided it.

A few years ago, Ling Jun had been married by Emperor Longqing, and he must have come to send invitations at this time.

He admired Lingjun as a royal soldier, and wanted to make friends with him, although the result was not as he wanted, but when Lingjun was married, he still didn't want his family's white affair to collide with his happy event.

If you can't get it, you don't necessarily have to destroy it.

If you can't make friends, you may not be able to make it.

Is it better to taste sorrow and despair as few people taste it?

Reaching out and gently touching the coffin containing Li Yuanru's body, Zhu Shize sighed lightly, reluctantly, and squeezed out a wry smile.

"Young Master Shi Ze."

The strong man in black had already been confessed by Ling Jun.

will cross several other mansions that are close to each other, and first come to the Chengguo Mansion to send invitations, just to block Zhu Shize, who was carrying the coffin out of the city, at the door of the Chengguo Mansion.

"I heard that your lady passed away, and the third master's envoy sent the villain, a special balsam made by the princess."

"Applying this balm all over the body will keep it from decaying for a thousand years."

As he spoke, the strong man in black took out a white porcelain vial from the placket of his clothes, and handed it to Zhu Shize with a respectful attitude.

Li Yuanru is Zhu Shize's wife.

It is rumored that he will marry this wife, who was born in Deping Bofu, just to have it, and Zhu Shitai, who married a woman who had a marriage contract with him, has the strength to fight.

It is rumored that he wants to fight against Zhu Shitai, just to protect his flat wife Li.

It is rumored that the Li family, who he wanted to protect, strangled to death the son-in-law that Li Yuanru gave birth to for him, and then was locked up in the firewood room and assassinated, and the spearhead was directed at Zhu Shitai's wife.

It is rumored that since the death of that Li family, Zhu Shize has been a stranger to this Li Yuanru, and after giving her two sons, he has never shared a bed with her.

If the rumors are true, Zhu Shize should not personally help this Li Yuanru out of the city.

Even if he wanted to give an explanation to Depingbo's Mansion, he had no need to do it like this.

"If you go to the Chengguo Mansion early, you must block Li Yuanru's coffin at the door of the Chengguo Mansion."

"If Zhu Shize wants to personally help the coffin out of the city, you will give him this balm."

"If he only sends the coffin out of the door, don't mention it."

This is before going out, fifteen deliberately explained to him again, so he deliberately let the horse stop at the corner for a while, and when he saw clearly, Zhu Shize had no intention of turning around and going back to the house, so he rode the horse again, pretending to never stop, and rushed to the gate of the Chengguo Mansion.

"Annoying strong man, thank the princess on behalf of Shi Ze."

Staring at the white porcelain bottle handed by the strong man in black for a long time, Zhu Shize seemed to have experienced a lot of struggles in his heart.

In the end, he finally smiled lightly and accepted Liu's gift.

His softness.

Before his death, he didn't have time to get half of his favor, but he did not hesitate to protect his thoughtful Rou'er with death.

He once promised that he would live up to it in this life, but he would only treat her with coldness, the love of his life.

That's it.

If he can take the position of the rest of his life, and change her face from corruption, he will ...... Even if you are wronged, even if your ambition is difficult to declare, what is there to ......

What's more, the person who stretched out his hand to him was the third prince Zhu Lingjun, who he hoped to befriend many years ago, and the wizard of the art of war with him.

His Royal Highness the Third Prince's words, yes, will not let him "pearl dust".

"The third master said that the world is unpredictable, and there are some things, even if you don't want to, it's hard to turn back."

"I look forward to Young Master Shize's day of mourning."

After that, the strong man in black saluted Zhu Shize, and handed an invitation card wrapped around his waist with white paper in front of Zhu Shize.

Normally, people who hold red events will deliberately avoid people who are in white events.

If there is a reason why you have to be invited, you can also put a circle of blank paper around your waist on the invitation card to show respect for the deceased on the other side.

As far as the world is concerned, Ling Jun and Zhu Shize have neither brotherhood nor friendship.

Although in the old days, it was rumored that the two had a sympathy for each other, but there were only rumors, and no one had ever seen each other.

However, today, Ling Jun ignored the fact that his wedding was approaching, and sent his subordinates down to give gifts to Zhu Shize's deceased wife, and also used a blank paper trap to invite her to participate in her wedding banquet...... How can this approach not lead people to revisit old things and speculate?

"The annoying strong man told His Royal Highness that when his deceased wife passed the first seven years, the coffin was sunk into the ground, and Shi Zeding bathed and changed his clothes, and went to thank him in person."

The invitation handed over by the strong man in black made Zhu Shize stiffen for a moment.

He never dreamed that Ling Jun, the person who refused to move around with him many years ago, would lend a helping hand to him now, when he was notorious and needed someone to help him the most.

Moreover, it is still so, firm and tough.

Go to war.

Ling Jun only used a paper invitation to solve his current dilemma, but isn't it, the military strategy was used to the extreme, and with a trick out of nothing, all the malice added to him was pushed to the far place, and he didn't dare to turn up the waves again!

It seems that over the years, Ling Jun's military strategy has improved again.

Oh, he, a degenerate person who is obsessed with power and hatred, has not led troops for a long time, and even studied books on the art of war, which is rarer than before, but still has the ability to compete with him?

"Yu Ding returns to His Highness."

The strong man in black nodded, agreed to Zhu Shize, and then turned around, walked to the horse, took another invitation from the pocket hanging on the horse's back, handed it over, and trotted out, the old housekeeper who came out of the gate of the Chengguo Mansion, the ugly uncle.

"Annoying the housekeeper to hand over to the public to watch."

Different from the scene when he went to the Deping Bo Mansion, the strong man in black who sent the invitation to the Chengguo Mansion politely refused the reward handed over by the housekeeper Choubo.

Before leaving, according to Ling Jun's instructions, in front of the housekeeper and ugly uncle, he bowed deeply to Zhu Shize.

Seeing the back of the strong man in black disappearing on the street corner, Zhu Shize slowly lowered his head and looked at the invitation card in his hand.

On the red base, a golden longbow pattern is depicted symbolizing the Three Princes' Mansion, and on the white paper around the waist, a silver pattern is burned, and the pattern is a spear.

Pike.

In the past, when he led the troops in southern Xinjiang, the ornament on the flag was ......

The golden bow retreated thirty miles, and the enemy was terrified in front of the silver spear array.

It's the two of them.

It's just that at that time, Ling Jun didn't dare to be surnamed Zhu.

He has never been plotted against and returned to Beijing seriously injured, and he has never met the woman who made him heroic and short of breath.

"Let's go."

Carefully putting the invitation into the placket, Zhu Shize stretched out his hand with a light smile, and gently patted the coffin containing Li Yuanru's body, his eyes were full of tenderness.

It's as if what he is talking to is not a corpse, but a beautiful woman who is immersed in a sweet dream.

conceited and amorous, angry for a red face, stumbling for seven years, and the end of the song is separated.

That's it.

That's it.

It is the luck of my life to meet you in this life, if there is an next life, I still hope that you will not meet me again, and you will not be let down by me, a person who knows it later.

Smack.

A drop of crystal, falling into the coffin.

Looking up again, he saw that he had returned to the iron-blooded general of the past, and in his eyes, there was only bone cold.
