Hearing Li Lanqi say that he wanted to take himself shopping and buy clothes, Duan hesitated slightly.

From the bottom of her heart, she really wants to accept it.

Women are the ones who please themselves.

What's more, this one who pleases himself is still pleasing to his own heart?

Not to mention, she has not made new clothes for three years, just Li Lanqi said that she wanted to accompany her, let her ......

But after a moment of hesitation, reason prevailed over heart.

Duan shook his head lightly, rejecting Li Lanqi's good intentions.

"In my closet, there are still a few clothes that I haven't worn, these clothes are just kept for ordinary daily life."

"Those two little guys, when they are naughty, they will put a piece of ink on my clothes, put them on, and it won't be worth it if they get dirty."

Look, it's the fifteenth day of the first month.

Lanterns, firecrackers, mats, red envelopes for the people in the courtyard, the regular money for the concubines and concubines sent by others to Li Lanqi, and the salutes and gifts to the various prefectures and courtyards, none of which can be missing.

Out of the first month, there is a dragon on the second day of February.

After the dragon raised his head, followed by the wedding of the third prince Zhu Lingjun.

Then, there is also the Hundred Flowers Banquet organized by De Shui Xuan.

And then there's the birthday of Emperor Longqing.

Lin Lin finally came down, it took less than two months, and without 50,000 taels of silver, it was absolutely impossible.

That's not even counting the pen, ink, paper, inkstone and homework fees that need to be paid to the husband for the two children.

Last year, nearly half of the Zhuangzi harvest was bad.

The shop under their name was supposed to be the most profitable, but because the shopkeeper suddenly contracted a vicious illness and died, he worked hard for more than three months and failed to make a good profit.

She did everything herself, and she reduced her expenses as much as possible, so that she could save 60,000 taels of silver for the New Year.

But looking at this, there are still many things that have not been taken care of, and the remaining silver in his hand is only a little more than 30,000.

Yesterday a man who specialized in helping people buy and sell shops came to him and consulted with him about buying one of their shops on the west side of the market.

That shop is her dowry, originally operated as a winery, the location is not good, these years, the meager income, always makes her feel like chicken ribs, tasteless food, but it is a pity to abandon it.

Now, someone is willing to take over, and even buy the shop with the goods, so that the silver ticket that can be exchanged, and pay him 22,000 taels of silver at one time, which can be said to not only relieve his immediate worries, but also avoid his unwilling worries, which can really be regarded as the best of both worlds.

It was impossible for Li Lanqi to know that it was impossible to know that it came suddenly, but it was imperative to save expenses.

"Okay."

"It's up to you."

"Don't be too wronged yourself, our days are still long, and many things will come later."

Seeing Duan's face, Li Lanqi knew that she was worried about the expenses of the yard again.

The Duan family gave her a lot of dowry.

But half of them are precious texts, one cannot be used, and the other cannot be used for profit.

And those concubines sent from the side mansion made him concubines and maidservants, and the dowry was also meager.

If it weren't for the Duan family, who was a good hand at taking charge of the feed, their lives would have been even more difficult over the years.

In the six departments for the official.

It sounds like the scenery is infinite, and the moon is the income of many ordinary people's families for several years.

But the expenditure is also outrageously high.

If you have the heart to climb upward, then you need to spend all this money, and then take the money from home to make up for it.

"It's time to become famous."

"Even young children know that Liu Yan, who entered the government at the age of seven, and Liang Hao, who was only in high school at the age of eighty-two, have the same future."

"You don't have to worry about family affairs, like before, you can never do it again to help people match people and receive benefits."

Duan slowly walked to Li Lanqi's side, opened his arms, hugged his waist, and raised his chin slightly, staring at him.

"Do you still remember the old fortune teller we met when we went to the Lantern Festival when we were children?"

"Yes."

"He said, 'You were the life of the chauffeur.'

"It's just that because of paranoia about certain things, the brilliance of the life star will be damaged, and in the end, you can only become the wife in charge of the minister's family."

Li Lan has a good memory.

He remembered almost every trivial matter between him and the Duan clan.

At this time, when Duan's family asked him about the old fortune teller they met when they were young, Li Lanqi instinctively laughed.

Speaking of which, the old man is really a god operator.

Originally, the person who was favored by Emperor Longqing and wanted to marry into the palace as a concubine was Duan, not her sister's mother.

It was the Duan family who held the marriage contract established by their two parents in the past, and wrote an article in the name of a woman, and listened to the heavens, so that the matter was stopped.

Emperor Longqing happily accepted this honor and re-education, giving people a good reputation for perfection, personally issued an order, gave marriage to the two of them, and recruited Duan's sister into the palace and sealed the concubine.

"However, I don't regret it at all, I delayed you."

"Because, without you, the rest of my life will be meaningless, Yu'er, am I a very selfish person?"

"If you can't be with Lan Qi, what will Yu'er do for the rest of her life?"

Duan smiled and stood on tiptoe, pecked Li Lan's sparse chin, and smiled like a flower.

She never regretted it.

For the rest of my life, it won't.

……

After sending his subordinates to Deshui Xuan to hand over the post, Li Lanqi took Duan's hand with him, entered the study, and began to bind, copying the classics two days ago.

Books on the art of war have always been rare objects collected by various mansions, and if there is no special relationship, they are never willing to borrow them, let alone give them away.

And the third prince, Zhu Lingjun, can win or lose in the battle against Zhu Shize in the art of war, which is enough to prove that he has a lot of involvement in this way.

The art of war is like a thin layer of window paper, pierced, everything is easy to understand, and if it is not pierced, it is to see flowers in the fog, and it is difficult to get what it wants.

Duan's suggestion is good.

As far as the timing of Zhu Lingjun's serious injury and bedridden is concerned, it can be said that giving him such a gift is far more appropriate than a good bow and horse, first, he is interested in it, and secondly, he can't do anything at this time, only reading can solve boredom.

Duan has studied calligraphy since he was a child and writes well.

Their two children, when they were enlightened, were also taught by her.

Li Lanqi sat on the small couch and helped her proofread the manuscripts one by one, arranging them in order, while Duan sat in a position only a few minutes away from him, threading the needle and thread, adding the cover and back cover of the manuscript that Li Lanqi had already proofread, and sewing it into a book.

In order to save money, the house where the two of them lived only used ordinary charcoal fires that were barely enough for heating.

This kind of charcoal fire, there is a subtle smell of fireworks, contaminated on the body, you need to bathe and change clothes, in order to dissolve, non-hospitality used in the beast gold charcoal is comparable, but the two, but no one cares.

For people with deep affection, staying together is better than all extravagance in the world.

"The winery in the west of the city, I'm going to sell it."

"Since we got married, he hasn't made much profit, and he still uses a lot of manpower."

"Last year, the shopkeeper finished the accounts, and he lost more than 300 taels."

Proofreading a bound manuscript does not require full attention.

Fortunately, he was bored, so Duan told Li Lanqi about his plan to sell the Chengxi Wine Factory.

"I've been approached by someone who specializes in buying and selling shops."

"Said that the buyer is willing to pay 22,000 taels of silver, and now settle the exchange for silver bills."

"I think it's doable."

As he spoke, Duan had already framed a book, reached out to the side, took a brush, licked some ink, and wrote the name of the book and the title of the original author on the cover of the book.

"Did the man who specializes in helping people buy and sell shops ever told you that the people from which province wanted to buy this shop?"

Listening to the Duan family, that winery that has not been very profitable, some people are willing to pay a high price to buy, Li Lanqi couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

twenty-two thousand taels of silver.

Although, the shop is in the western section of the market, one of the most prosperous places in Yanjing.

But the location is quite awkward because it is just around the corner.

Before, when the two children first reached the age of Mr. Ying, they had the idea of selling the shop because they were short of money.

It's just that the market is not good, and those who are willing to buy the shop are only willing to pay 8,000 taels of silver to buy the shop itself, and not to store wine in it.

Because 8,000 taels of silver was not enough to pay for the schoolwork of the two children, and the wine that the other party refused to ask for, and there was nowhere to store it, it was a pity to abandon it, so they dispelled this idea and looked for a place to start.

Then, later, Li Lan started to collect money from people and help people tie strings and build bridges.

"It's not a famous Yanjing family."

"It's an alien businessman."

"He said he was going to buy it and use it as a dowry for his sister."

When buying and selling shops, it is natural to inquire about the other party's origins, so as to prevent the other party's money from coming from the wrong way and making their belongings empty.

Duan's is good at feeding, this kind of thing, he doesn't need to be explained by others, and he will be cautious.

"The people who work in that shop are all the children of my mother's family who married them, and it is impossible, because they bought the shop and gave it to them."

"I've asked the guy who specializes in helping people buy and sell shops to make it clear to the buyer that when the deal is completed and the people who work in the shop settle the accounts and inventory with them, they will leave."

"As long as they think it is feasible, I will ponder it, and on these two days, I will sign a contract with them in person, and the money and goods will be paid."

After finishing the manuscript in his hand, and without waiting for Li Lanqi to hand over the new manuscript for a long time, Duan couldn't help but frown slightly, and called him in a low voice, "Is there a mistake in copying, Lan Qi?" ”

"Yes, I'm here."

Being called by the Duan family like this, Li Lanqi, who was originally in a daze, came back to his senses and handed the manuscript that had been proofread in his hand to her.

"If the other party insists on wanting the manpower in the shop, add some silver, and promise him to go, and don't be too stubborn."

Li Lanqi said as he took a deep breath, turned his head, looked at the surprised Duan, and smiled at her.
