Chapter Forty-Six: Living in Misery

Duan's suggestion made Li Lanqi hesitate.

Before, he was sent to Zhuangzi outside the city to wait for death by Deping Bo Li Ming, and it was because of this incident that he was stabbed out for some reason.

The money that the generals of the Jiangnan battalion bribed him was not much.

Or, in a sense, it can't be considered a bribe at all.

He's just a matchmaker.

After the thread was drawn, he received a gift of thanksgiving from the person he had entrusted to him.

This is not an uncommon thing in Yanjing, and it has been several years since that incident, and he has not participated in the matter that the two of them discussed later, or held any umbrella for it.

To put it mildly, if it weren't for the sudden rise of the third prince Zhu Lingjun, and the desire of Depingbo Li Ming to befriend him, this matter would have been known to him, and he would not have been punished.

He's just, just unlucky.

Besides, the third prince Zhu Lingjun is there.

Although, the people of the Jiang family have been kind to him.

But this kind of thing, there are some and there are no, and no one can criticize anything.

After all, the former King Yu has now become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

The people of the Jiang family mentioned that he raised his son, and it became a rare request for a glorious lintel, rather than a helpless snowfall.

Although over the years, the third prince Zhu Lingjun has been walking quite close to the Northwest Battalion, but what is close to him is only Jiang Rubai, who was accepted as a righteous son by General Jiang and has no blood relationship with him, not his own son Jiang Rusong.

And as far as he knows, in recent years, the third prince Zhu Lingjun has never visited General Jiang, who "said goodbye to the old man and returned to his hometown", and with the situation of the old general and his wife, he believes that as long as there is another year or two, the two of them can survive and die without worries.

Even if the third princess was cautious and sent General Jiang to Yanjing for recuperation and care, and had curryed favor with the third prince Zhu Lingjun, it would not be able to change the fact that they were old and had already run out of oil.

Not to mention, General Jiang and his wife may not know that it was he who introduced the generals of the Jiangnan battalion.

Even if they know it, they don't dare to talk to Liu lightly, no matter how you look at it, they are people who are quite close to him, and they dig out their hearts and lungs.

He just needs to be quiet and low-key, and wait until the old general Jiang and his wife are about to settle down, and this matter can be completely turned into death without proof.

And Depingbo Li Ming, his father, has no reason to single out this matter and destroy his relationship with the third prince Zhu Lingjun.

After all, it is not a glorious thing to make public a thing that has been hidden for a long time.

There are no forever friends.

There are no eternal enemies either.

Only, the eternal pursuit of interests.

This point is particularly obvious in the relationship between Depingbofu and the third prince Zhu Lingjun.

"What Yu'er said, it's worth a try."

"It's just, how do you tell the third princess about this?"

"I think it's a little inappropriate to send it to the door myself."

Li Lan nodded, and could be regarded as responding to Duan's suggestion.

He let go of the arm that was encircling Duan, held her in his arms, and took the changed clothes into his hands, pursed his lips, and looked at them carefully.

This garment must have been worn for several years.

You can see it from the wear on the collar and sleeves.

He knew that the Duan family had always been thrifty, and he was only willing to spend money on educating his children and making the relationship needed for him to be promoted, but before she could do it, she was mean to herself, and she came to this point!

"Everyone in the world knows that the Third Highness likes good bows and horses, but looking at Qiao's current situation, I am afraid that these two things will not only be unpleasant, but it may also make him resist."

"Two days ago, you asked me to transcribe the book on the art of war, and I was going to give it to Yuanru to make her happy."

"I thought that there would be a side that could be used, so I copied one more."

"Later, I'll go and bind them and put them in a nice box, and we can get ready and go to De Shui Xuan."

Seeing Li Lanqi looking through his clothes, Duan's face couldn't help but blush.

It was all half-used clothes, she felt that it was a pity to lose them, and it was not appropriate to give them away, so she kept them for regular clothes, not only these clothes, and when she wore them out, she would fall on his face.

"Remember, we went this time to seek medical advice from the third princess."

"Let's just say, after I gave birth to a second girl, I accidentally fell and fell into a fetus, and since then, I have never been around, and if this goes on for a long time, I will definitely be unable to continue to spend money for you, and those in the house will be forced to come in by others, and the messy women will slander and squeeze them."

"I only hope that the three princesses' clever hands can save me, a poor man with a poor background."

Li Lanqi and the Duan family were ordered by their parents to get married, and the Duan family was in its prime.

Then, although there was Emperor Longqing, in order to ask for the Duan family's collection of books, and gave a Duan family concubine, given a concubine, but as we all know, the Duan family concubine who married into the palace, only on the day of the entitlement, won the favor of the Longqing Emperor once, and then failed to be favored by the Holy Grace, spent several years in the harem, and failed to give birth to a son and a half daughter to the Longqing Emperor. was demoted to a half-level official position.

Depingbo, on the other hand, is the opposite.

Deping Bo Li Ming, relying on a daughter who died of poisoning, rose all the way, first took charge of the military power of the Northeast Battalion, and then sent several sisters-in-law to serve in the Sixth Department.

Although none of his sons-in-law has climbed to the position of Shangshu, his power has swelled several times compared with before, and in the long run, he will definitely be another prince who leans towards the government and the opposition.

The decline of the Ichifu.

A prosperous house.

One eliminates the other's strengths, and the two families that were not the right ones are the right ones, but now, they just change their identities.

Although, in the past, the Duan family had made a lot of efforts for the rise of Depingbo's mansion, but with the increasing disparity in status, the Depingbo Mansion gradually appeared, thinking that the Duan family was not worthy of Li Lanqi's strange voice.

In the face of the family elders' "pointing at Sang and scolding Huai", Li Lanqi chose to turn a deaf ear.

He was happy with Duan's heart.

In this life, I just want to hold hands with her.

If one day, she dies before him, he will, be lonely for the rest of his life, as a tribute to her, and will never continue to be his wife, so that the woman next to him is expected to "occupy the magpie's nest".

"It's fine."

"The third princess has exquisite medical skills, so take this opportunity and let her help you take a look."

What Duan said was not a nonsense.

It's just that what caused her miscarriage was not her unintentionality, but the greed of a backyard woman who was prodded by the elders of the family, wanted to kill her, and took advantage of the opportunity to ascend to the throne.

This thing is a blunt fish bone, which has been stuck in Li Lanqi's throat, unable to spit it out, unable to swallow, and will not hurt his life, but it makes him uncomfortable.

He took a deep breath, raised his right hand, bent his index finger, and scraped Duan's nose affectionately, and then, bowing slightly, pecked the corner of her lips.

"If the third princess can really cure you, it is for me to sincerely give her my life, and I am willing, Yu'er."

Li Lanqi's voice carried the sincerity that would never appear when he got along with others.

It seems that in front of the Duan family, he is just a young boy who has just fallen in love, not the ordinary one, who always wants to seek fame and fortune, and with his planning and drilling, he is an official who has become popular in the six departments.

"Let's do it."

"This matter, after all, is related to your future, according to me, it is better to be cautious."

"If the Third Imperial Princess, as you said, is a smart and unpredictable woman, we should be attached to her, and it may not be a bad thing."

Duan pursed his lower lip, enjoying this kind of happiness in the palm of his hand by the person he likes.

Although, for him, she has suffered a lot and been victimized by many people, but she has never felt that she has the slightest regret.

Especially when she was pushed into the pond, Li Lan jumped into the pond like crazy, fished her up, and then cut off the head of the maid who killed her with a sword.

The blood splashed his face, making his whole person look a little hideous and terrifying, but in her opinion, it was his best-looking appearance, and she would never forget it for the rest of her life, and she didn't want to forget it.

Although, because she was frightened, she lost her five-month-old child, and since then, she has never been pregnant.

But Li Lanqi did not hesitate to sell it in order to hire the best doctor for her and regulate her body, and his grandfather gave him a sword on the day he became an adult, and sent away his husband, cutting off the schoolwork of his two children, which he had always valued.

In a famous family, this kind of love that does not hesitate to pour all it into is not an exaggeration to say that it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

She was content.

Always, very content.

"Listen to you."

When looking at Duan's four eyes, Li Lanqi's smile was always warm.

His eyes were full of tenderness, like the light through the thin clouds at the beginning of the snow, clear and bright.

"I know, you give me some relationship between the top and bottom, and you have to weigh the expenses in the yard, but these industries under our name are a little stretched."

"But I don't want you to take all your grievances on yourself."

"At that time, when we got married, didn't we say that we should share happiness and hardship?"

After that, Li Lanqi turned his gaze, and the clothes he had placed on the table before, which were no longer even fifty percent new, the corners of his lips pursed slightly.

"Tomorrow, I'll accompany you to the market and make some new clothes."

"The day before yesterday, when I came back from the Chengguo Mansion, I passed by there and saw that a shop was about to change owners, and posted a notice saying that the original fabric in the shop would be sold at a discount."

"That shop, we went to make clothes for Ying Chen before, it should be, there are some materials that can be used."
