Yanjing, Depingbo.

The return of the white-haired old man surprised Depingbo Li Ming.

In his mind, Li Su's school examination, at least, would need to last for two or three days.

If you add it, wait for Ling Jun to make a statement, before the first month, this white-haired old man should stay in the Jiangnan camp.

However, Li Ming understands his cronies.

He knew very well that this white-haired old man, who had always been praised by him for his prudence and resourcefulness, would only stay in the Jiangnan camp for one day and then return, and he must have a reason.

Or, it was Li Su who lied, took unwarranted things, and deceived him and wasted manpower and material resources.

Or, on the side of Jiangnan Daying, there is a more urgent scene than Li Su in the school.

Of course, of the two, he prefers the latter.

Based on his understanding of Li Su, Li Su is not as stupid as the former, or rather, he doesn't dare to be so stupid.

"Over there...... What's the problem? ”

Li Ming is a ruthless person.

In his concept, as long as it is worth the money, it is not a big deal to lose a son.

Just like many years ago, he exchanged the broken bones of a sister-in-law for the life of the commander of the Shenji Battalion who was his enemy.

Although the person who took over as the commander of the Shenji Battalion in the future was still not one of the few he hoped for, his status in the DPRK and Central China was able to rise because of that "killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys".

Even the life of his sister-in-law can be thrown away by him at will, Li Su, just a concubine, what does he have to give up?

"Young Master Su is very clever, and he has won the trust of His Royal Highness for the house."

The white-haired old man lowered his eyebrows, as if what he was talking about was not worth being surprised at all.

"So fast?!"

"Give me a detailed description of the scene at that time, Li Qing."

"I think, this matter, I'm afraid it's not that simple, isn't it......"

Li Ming didn't say the words after "Mo No", but the meaning he wanted to express was enough to make the only white-haired old man present understand his concerns.

Hearing Li Ming call his name, the white-haired old man froze slightly.

Li Ming rarely called the name of his subordinates, not because he didn't remember, but because he felt that it was too troublesome.

He only called out the names of these subordinates when he was anxious to a certain extent, trying to confirm that the people around him were indeed his own people, so as to calm his own state of mind.

It's an instinct and a habit.

has only followed Li Ming for many years, and a few cronies know about it.

"Young Master Su is shrewd and has the style of the old man."

Good people, of course, know how to serve their masters.

Li Qing took a step forward, took out the secret account booklet that Li Su handed over to him and brought back from his clothes, and presented it to Li Ming, who was sitting next to the bookcase, and then told Li Ming all the conversations he had with Li Su in the Jiangnan camp, the encounter of his party on the way to the good medicine workshop, and everything he saw and heard in the good medicine room, of course, he did not fall behind, what he said to Li Su when he returned to the Jiangnan camp, what he said about Aunt Xue and Li Su's reaction after hearing his words.

After listening to Li Qing tell all the stories, Li Ming folded his hands, supported his chin, and was silent, about half a cup of tea.

After a while, he slowly exhaled a breath, and raised his head as if relieved.

"Yes, it's my Li Ming's son!"

Li Ming rarely uses such words to praise his children and grandchildren.

For Li Su, this is the second time.

The last time was ten years ago, when Li Su went to the mass grave with him and witnessed Aunt Xue's corpse being eaten by wolves without shedding a single tear.

"Congratulations, sir."

Li Qing said congratulations, but his face did not change at all, his face was still stiff, and his eyes were still dead.

"People have seven emotions and six desires."

"The most difficult hurdle to overcome is the grace of birth and nurturing."

"Su'er has been cowardly since she was a child, treats people and things, and always likes to give in and be kind."

"But in the midst of the ups and downs of this sea, how can his enemies allow him to leave a way back?"

As Li Ming spoke, he sat up straight, stretched out his hand, and touched a thumb-high golden statue of a hundred wealth boys placed in the corner of the bookcase.

This small statue, many years ago, suddenly appeared on Li Ming's desk.

No one knows from which master craftsman it came from, or from whom Li Ming got the gift.

But all the people who enter and leave Li Ming's study will be specially told by the housekeeper that the small statue must not be touched, and those who touch it will die.

"Ten years ago, I made you pretend to be a good person and ask for a coffin for his mother, just to wait for today, to give him the final school examination."

"Since he has passed this final examination, the future is limitless."

"You go to the ancestral hall and tell those old things that I'm going to give Alan a status."

"Let them write Alain's name to the position of a flat wife, from now on, Su'er, who is also my sister-in-law of Deping Bofu."

Li Su never used his name, calling his wife and concubine.

Even when mentioning his wife, he would only say how the Duan family was.

And the late Aunt Xue, Xue Lan, is obviously an exception.

He never called her by her last name.

He only called her, Alain.

Before she was beaten to death by her subordinates, this title had attracted ridicule from others countless times, and even Li Ming's wife would mention it as fun when she was bored.

They said that Li Ming only regarded her as a maid in the room, not a concubine, and this title would naturally not be based on the name of other wives and concubines in the family.

After she heard this, she just smiled, then lowered her head and continued to do her needlework, as if it didn't matter what Li Ming was to her, and it had nothing to do with her how others made fun of her.

"Yes."

Li Qing left in response.

When going out, deliberately use your arm to lift the door slightly to avoid making a sound.

He has served by Li Ming's side for many years, and he knows better than anyone that Li Ming at this time needs absolute silence.

When Li Qing was far away, Li Ming picked up the small statue of the Baicai boy on the bookcase, leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair, and his eyes were slightly red.

The only people who know the origin of this small statue are Li Ming's two cronies and the craftsman who made it.

And the craftsman who made it was also killed by Li Ming's killer on the day it was completed, and slaughtered the whole family.

As for those two cronies......

Li Chi, the former butler of the Depingbo Mansion and now sent to the Northeast Battalion to supervise the army, is one of them.

The white-haired old man who was sent by Li Ming to take the school Li Su before, Li Qing, is another.

"Our son, Su'er, has grown up, Alain."

Li Ming said while gently stroking, the palm-sized gold-painted statue, gentle, as if he was talking to his beloved.

"He pleases the three princes."

"In this now, Ling Li's little cub has been deposed, and the Deping Bo Mansion urgently needs to climb the new master's file."

"I took this opportunity to raise your identity."

Speaking of this, Li Ming paused slightly, lowered his head, and kissed it, the bright head of the rich boy.

"In this way, Su'er is the sister-in-law of Deping Bofu."

"And you, after a hundred years, I can also be buried in the ancestral grave of the Li family, and we don't have to talk like this now, and sneak around."

The common gold statues on the market are either porcelain or clay.

The one held in Li Su's hand is made of bone meal, and the process is complicated, far better than the secret of the official kiln.

Ten years ago, Li Ming took Li Su and witnessed the wild wolf eating Aunt Xue's body, but the bones were not abandoned in the wilderness as Li Su thought.

After they left, Li Qing was ordered to slaughter the wolves, and then collected all the bones of Aunt Xue.

Li Chi, the former housekeeper of Depingbo Mansion, together with Li Qing, put together the corpse of Aunt Xue, and after confirming that there was no lack of bones, he "voluntarily" resigned from the position of housekeeper under the instruction of Li Ming, took the bones on his back, and went to Jiangnan.

In Jiangnan, there is a well-known bone maker.

He is good at using animal bones to make exquisite utensils.

He was going to find this bone maker and persuade him to grind Aunt Xue's bones into powder and burn them to the small statue of the Hundred Fortune Boy that Li Ming hoped for.

Then, hire the Heavenly Gate that only opens the price code and does not ask the reason, and exterminates the family.

This bonesmith, surnamed Hades, is the Hades of the Netherworld.

Legend has it that his ancestors, originally made porcelain, and then suddenly died of an accident, the first seven days, but inexplicably came back to life, after that, his temperament changed greatly, changed his surname is not counted, even the previous family business, also changed the tricks.

He set out to make a vessel that had never been seen on the market before.

He called them bones, and called himself the bonesmith.

……

Zhou Zhuang, Shen family.

The bride price convoy that suddenly appeared at the door of the Shen family's mansion made the entire town explode.

Although the ancestors of the Shen family have made great achievements in helping Emperor Gao win the world, over the years, they have not been limited by the "business suppression order", and often have children to gain fame, and a few years ago, there was a granddaughter who married the son of the Ningxia Bijia family as his wife.

But this royal marriage ......

The old man of the Shen family, who had already received the news from Shen Hongxue, was not as happy as the rest of the Shen family.

On the contrary, his mood at this time is quite complicated.

Liu Qingxin, the granddaughter who looks like his beloved, has always been his favorite junior.

Originally, he wanted to match her with his grandson, Shen Hongxue.

However, his unsuccessful son-in-law wanted to marry her to the Ningxia Bi family for a little false fame, causing his grandson to fall seriously ill and almost lose his life.

Later, the little bastard of the Bi family, spoiled the concubine and killed his wife, and almost ruined the life of his baby granddaughter.

I thought that Shen Hongxue's temperament was very similar to his boy, and he didn't mind that she had been married......

The emperor's grace is immense.

How many people dare to disobey the emperor's order?

That's it.

Perhaps, this is fate.

Just like many years ago, he missed out on his loved ones again and again.

Perhaps, many years later, his grandson, Shen Hongxue, will also sigh about the impermanence of the world as he does today.

led a group of children and grandchildren to go out to receive orders.

Old Man Shen, who is over the age of old, only feels that this holy decree that "tampered with" his grandson's marriage is heavy, as if it can crush his arm.

The holy decree said that the Shen family had a daughter.

This is clearly to completely cut off her relationship with the Liu family, so that she can have a status that conforms to the regulations and marries into the royal family.

In other words, he needs to prepare a new identity for Liu Qingxin before the big wedding day comes.

Let her be the concubine of a certain Shen family's sister-in-law, and this sister-in-law must be the kind that has a meritorious reputation, a stable backyard, and will not shake out Liu Qingxin's true identity because of the fight between his wife and concubine.

"Congratulations, Old Man Shen."

The one who came to deliver the decree was a fat eunuch with a kind face.

After handing over the holy decree to Old Man Shen, he politely congratulated Old Man Shen.

The young lady of the Shen family mentioned in the holy decree, but Emperor Longqing's imperial approval, wants to marry the third prince as a concubine, maybe she will become the master of the world in the future.

If this Miss Shen family really becomes the queen, this Shen family will be ......

Even if he takes 10,000 steps back, in the future, the third prince will not be able to become the crown prince, this Miss Shen family will not be able to become the queen, and the Shen family, the master of the wealth and the gods, is not something he can offend.

Now, he is friendly with the Shen family, in case in the future, this old man of the Shen family, idle and bored, mention him to the princess, and the princess will say a few good words for him in front of the third prince......

To do things in the palace without a position or tendency is equivalent to being an enemy of everyone, which is equivalent to being used as a tool by anyone at any time and put to death.

Before, he didn't think about getting close to the Li family, the lucky woman who was born in the palace, but because of her mother's noble son, she was named a concubine by Emperor Longqing, and took this opportunity to join the command of the three princes.

However, Li is weak by nature and does not like to compete with others, he has shown favor many times, but he has been politely refused.

This time, it must be successful.

Otherwise, after some time, the power of the three princes will be stabilized, and he will join again, but it will be "worthless".

"There is Father-in-law."

There is a saying that many people are not to blame.

Counting the edict, it should be here in a few days, and the old man of the Shen family made people prepare a thank you gift early in the morning.

These escorts to the bride price, except for a few soldiers from the Shenji Battalion, are all eunuchs and palace maids who are serving in the palace, and if they are taken care of, it will be equivalent to paving the way for Liu Qingxin's future.

When it comes to dotting, it's nothing more than gold and silver.

The Shen family, the most important thing is money!

gave the little servant a look and motioned him to distribute the "thank you gifts" one by one, and the old man of the Shen family smiled and handed over the holy decree to the eldest son standing next to him, Shen Hongxue's father, Shen Wenfeng.

"Happy events fell from heaven, and I didn't have time to prepare thoroughly, and I hope my father-in-law will forgive me."

As he spoke, the old man of the Shen family approached the fat eunuch and quietly stuffed a purse into his hand.

"My granddaughter, since she was a child, studied medicine with the immortal master, she doesn't know the rules of etiquette, and in the future, when she goes to Yanjing, she will inevitably be disdained by some ladies."

"If there is any noble person in the palace who hears and misunderstands my granddaughter, I hope my father-in-law will help with it."

The old man of the Shen family has long heard Shen Hongxue mention that after Liu Qingxin went missing, he lost his memory due to injury, but he was also blessed by misfortune, and he was guided by a master outside the world and became a miracle doctor who rejuvenated his hands.

Although he had doubts about this, he considered that the reputation of the Heavenly Gate was outstanding, and it was impossible to find the wrong person, so he put this doubt behind him.

The road is, and the blessing of misfortune depends.

never thought that this calamity, which originally made him suffocate, has now become an "allusion" for him to help Liu Qingxin fabricate a new identity!
