Fortunate Wife

Because of Li Man's dream, the others didn't sleep well, and the next day was numb, and they got up in a hurry, and after a simple breakfast, they divided up their work.

Li Mo and Li Hua are in charge of renting a house, while Li Man and Li Yan are in charge of inquiring about the situation of the sixth prince Yan Jin.

The location of Prince Jin's Mansion is easy to inquire about. It is located in the most prosperous area of ​​the capital. In terms of luxury, it is slightly better than the Prince's Mansion.

However, if you want to inquire about other news, it will be even more difficult.

"What should we do? Or, let's find a way to get in?"

In a corner of King Jin's Mansion, Li Man asked Li Yan.

Li Yan leaned against the wall, and while paying attention to the movements at the gate of the palace, he asked her, "What do you think?"

"Well, for example, a food delivery person, a firewood seller, or something new? In short, let's get in first." Li Man said.

After Li Yan listened, he looked at her serious appearance with amused expression, and couldn't help but reached out and rubbed her head twice, "I won't allow fourth brother to buy you those messy books again, I'm so stupid."

"What do you mean?" Li Man looked at him depressedly, she was trying to come up with an idea.

Li Yan looked at her helplessly and dotingly, and snorted softly, "Fool, it's not that simple, this is the palace, and it's heavily guarded."

"Well, that's why I have to think of a way to get in." Modern TV dramas are played like this, and Li Man thinks that maybe a blind cat can meet a dead mouse, and it can be done.

"I have to think of a way, but." Li Yan frowned deeply, and said helplessly, "I haven't thought of it yet."

"It's okay to pretend to be a food delivery person?" Li Man still didn't give up.

Li Yan laughed, "You really think it's written in a drama? Any vegetable seller can get in? No, let's see."

Coincidentally, at the other end, there was a group of people pushing carts of vegetables into the palace through the small back door.

Li Man's eyes lit up, "There are really food deliverers."

"Look carefully." Li Yan patted her on the head twice, reminding her.

Li Man's eyes widened, and she said, "Look carefully, the car is full of vegetables, vegetables, and chicken, duck and fish, quite a lot."

"Ah." Li Yan's head was full of black lines, and he reminded again, "Have you noticed? Each of them needs a badge on their body. This is probably a token to enter and exit the palace, and it will be checked by a special person."

After this reminder, Li Man found out that there was an old man dressed in gorgeous clothes and two guards standing at the small door. Every person who brought food in had to go through a body search in addition to showing the sign. The vegetables in the car must be carefully inspected before being sent in.

Such a meticulous inspection is really not afraid of trouble.

Li Man was extremely depressed. It wasn't difficult to deliver the food, but she couldn't get the difficult brand. Moreover, even if she got in, she didn't know if she could get the news.

"Li Yan, why don't we ask those people just now to borrow a sign?"

"Inappropriate." Li Yan denied.

Li Man was frustrated.

Li Yan glanced at her, pulled her to a small shop opposite, and explained in a low voice, "First of all, others will not borrow such important things at will. If you change someone, you will definitely be interrogated, and maybe you will be caught with ulterior motives."

"Oh." It makes sense, Li Man nodded, and then raised her little head, "What should I do? Just give up like this? But we have come to the capital with such difficulty. Seeing that we have reached the door, but we can't go in, what a shame I'm dying of anxiety."

If in modern times, if a person is lost, they can call the police, but now, it is really troublesome.

"Wait." Li Yan only threw her a word, and then led her into an open-air tea shop.

Li Man was puzzled, how should I wait?

But instinctively, she still wanted to listen to Li Yan, so she did whatever he said.

When he arrived at the tea shop, Li Yan ordered two cups of tea, seemingly leisurely.

Li Man couldn't sit still, "Could it be that we are just sitting here?"

"Be patient." Li Yan said, adding some water to her glass.

Li Man also wanted to be as calm as him, but after having that terrible dream last night, she couldn't do it. It seemed that she would feel restless and at a loss if she didn't say or do something.

But when she was about to say something, Li Yan grabbed her hand and assured her with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

"En." Li Man's tense expression slowly relaxed.

"Sit here and wait a while." Li Yan suddenly let go of her hand, got up and walked outside.

Li Man was taken aback, and saw him walking out of the tea shop slowly.

At the same time, from the small door of the palace, several people who had delivered food came out one after another pushing empty carts.

Li Man just wanted to get up and chase him away, when she saw a basket suddenly fell from one of the cars, Li Yan turned around and helped to pick it up, and then naturally chatted with the owner of the car.

Is this a conversation? Li Man didn't dare to disturb the situation, and sat quietly, waiting for him to come back.

However, Li Yan came back without chatting a few words.

Li Man hurriedly went up to meet her, "How? What did you guys talk about?"

"Just ask about the situation inside." Li Yan sat down and said, "It's worse than we thought. Even if it's delivering food, you can't talk or look at it. You will be kicked out as soon as you deliver it."

"Then those who often come and go to the palace, just a little

Never heard of the news? "Li Man asked.

Li Yan shook his head, "Even if they know about this kind of thing, they don't dare to talk about it outside. Lord Jin's reputation as the King of Hades is not in vain."

This morning, they inquired a little, and everyone seemed to keep secret about Prince Jin's mansion, except for the location of the mansion, there was no way to find out anything else.

"Then what should I do?" Li Man had a bitter face, thinking to herself, if Li Shu fell into this person's hands, would there be a good thing? Could it be that the dream last night foreshadowed something? Or has it already happened?

"Don't worry." Seeing that her expression changed, Li Yan comforted her, "There will always be a solution. Let's go back first and see how Big Brother and the others are doing? Then we can discuss it."

"Hmm." That's all.

However, what the two of them didn't expect was that when they returned to the small hotel, instead of seeing Li Mo and Li Hua, they saw Zhang Jing who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign country, it feels so heartwarming.

Li Man walked towards him excitedly, and when she saw the smile on Zhang Jing's face, she said excitedly, "Zhang Jing, is it really you? I thought I was wrong?"

Compared with Li Man's excitement, Li Yan was much calmer. Selfishly speaking, he had always been afraid of Zhang Ben. Even now, Zhang and Li had a close relationship, and the uncomfortable feeling was still there.

And this time when I went out to find my third brother, I didn't tell the Zhang family a few words, which was the reason.

He didn't want to have a close relationship with the Zhang family. Instinctively, he felt that the Zhang family was not what it appeared to be on the surface. Perhaps the water in the Zhang family was very deep. According to his intuition, Zhang Jing often traveled to the capital, and it must be more than just The business is so simple, maybe there are other things.

Just last time, as soon as he appeared, the county magistrate released him and his eldest brother without even a trial.

It can be seen that Zhang Jing is not simple.

Zhang Jing didn't notice Li Yan's subtle expression, his eyes fixed on Li Man's face, and he asked in surprise, "What's the matter with your face?"

Li Man was taken aback, covered her face with her hands, and explained embarrassingly, "Isn't this for the convenience of going out?"

"This? Are you okay?" Zhang Jing endured it, and then resisted reaching out to touch the large black spot on her cheek that resembled a birthmark.

Li Man said, "It's okay, I'll get some potion later, wash it off and it will fall off."

"En." Zhang Jing was relieved a little, and glanced at her face again, for no reason, the eyebrows were tightened again, "It's better to wash it, it looks awkward like this."

"Is it alright?" Li Man touched her cheeks, feeling nothing but roughness. Besides, this is very good. It's not like they used to go out, and someone would always stare at her. This time, maybe someone I will take a look, but at most, I will turn my eyes away, there are sympathizers, there are ridicule, but just don't want to take advantage of her.

Not wanting to talk about face, Li Man changed the subject and asked again, "By the way, why are you here? Could it be that you are also here to stay?"

Zhang Jing smiled slightly and replied, "I just happened to come to Beijing to do some business. I knew you were coming too, so I wanted to try my luck. Unexpectedly, I actually found you."

"Young Master Zhang has always been very lucky, but to find such a small place, it must have taken some thought?" Li Yan also said.

Zhang Jing sighed softly, and said half-truthfully, "Yes, I really took a lot of thought. I spent most of the night looking for it. No, look, my eye circles are all black."

When he was speaking, he really bowed his head to Li Man and pointed to the corner of his eyes.

Li Man only took him as a joke, and said, "No matter what, I'm really glad to meet you here. By the way, what are you doing in Beijing? Are you done?"

"Yeah." Zhang Jing pondered for a while, looked at her thinner face, slightly frowned and said, "It's not all done yet, it's a little bit worse."

"Oh." Li Man didn't feel comfortable asking, so she said, "Why don't you sit in the room? We'll eat here at noon, heh, we're really happy that you can come and see us."

As he said that, Li Man gently touched Li Yan, can this fellow not be so stingy, how many years has he remembered the little episode with Zhang Jing? What's more, people are going to get married now.

Yeah, by the way, thinking about what Mrs. Zhang mentioned last year, Zhang Jing seemed to be marrying a young lady from someone in the capital. Why didn't there be any sound in the end? It was because she was too busy and forgot, but she had already prepared some gifts and hadn't sent them out yet.

Li Man walked ahead and opened the door of the hut, but the two beds filled the hut inside, making her hair full of black lines, and quickly closed the door again, blocking Zhang Jing at the door.

"Heh, let's talk outside, it's spacious and the air is good."

"What happened inside?" Zhang Jing became more and more curious when she refused to let her in.

The inside was too small and there was no place to sit. Li Man was really embarrassed to let him in, so she said, "It's a bit messy. I'm busy in the morning and I don't have time to clean it up. How about it? Let's eat outside at noon, go and find a restaurant."

"Don't, the dishes in the restaurant outside are not as delicious as yours." Zhang Jing smiled. To be honest, he has never eaten the dishes cooked by Li Man, but Mrs. Zhang has. A few words of praise made him a little greedy, and he must try it himself one day.

Li Man smiled dryly, before she was about to say something, Li Yan grabbed her shoulders with one hand, pulled her into his arms, and gently opened the door with the other hand.

"Mr. Zhang found it with great difficulty. You have to go into the house and sit down, have a sip of tea and talk."

As soon as the door opened, Li Yan dragged Li Man in, and Zhang Jing followed naturally.

Sure enough, by two

After the large bed occupied most of the space, it was difficult for the three of them to turn around in the remaining space.

Embarrassed, Li Man glared at Li Yan, Li Yan expressed his innocence, obviously he wanted to come in.

Zhang Jing simply stood at the door, staring at the big bed squeezed together, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he glanced at Li Man with dark eyes, could it be, this night, she and those men Sleep here together?

Even thinking about it, shouldn't anything excessive happen? However, they are husband and wife, even if they did something, it seems normal.

"Oh, this room is too crowded." Li Man looked at Zhang Jing in embarrassment, but Jindu came in, so she could only invite someone to sit.

where to sit Can only sit on the bed.

So, the three of them sat on the bed next to each other.

Zhang Jing took his seat, without beating around the bush, and directly stated his purpose.

"Before I came, I heard about your family and Li Shu. I have asked someone to inquire about it."

"You also know?" Li Man was a little surprised, but thinking about it, Mrs. Zhang has always been thinking about her, and appointed someone to visit Li's house. Thinking of this, she felt relieved again, "Thank you, Zhang Jing, However, we don't know whether Li Shu is in Prince Jin's mansion right now, so don't go in this muddy water."

Li Yan listened and nodded, he also meant the same thing.

But Zhang Jing said, "You are wrong, I don't do it specifically for your business. However, I just need to meet a few more acquaintances in this capital. By the way, did you just say that Li Shu is in King Jin's Mansion?"

"Yeah." Li Man thought that Zhang Jing was not an outsider, so she told about the assassin that shopkeeper Xu said.

Hearing Zhang Jing's words, the smile on his face was suppressed slightly, "Come on, don't worry, I'll send someone to investigate. If he is in King Jin's hands, I will try to rescue him."

"Really?" Seeing his confidence, Li Man was pleasantly surprised.

Zhang Jing gave her a consoling look, "Of course, but according to my guess, Li Shu should not be here."

"Not here?" Li Man was stunned, and so was Li Yan, "Whether we are here or not, we must get definite information before we can rest assured. If it is really not in King Jin's hands, we can rest assured."

"Yes." When Li Yan said this, Li Man felt relieved. If Li Shu was not in King Jin's hands, wouldn't his life be more secure? So, as long as he lived, they had hope of finding him.

While chatting, Li Mo and Li Hua came back, and they were quite surprised to see Zhang Jing.

Li Man told him what happened to him when he came to Beijing for business.

However, only Li Man himself would believe such a statement, and their brothers, like Li Yan, did not believe that it was a coincidence.

How can Zhang Jing find it early in the morning in the capital they just arrived in yesterday?

this speed? Could it be that as soon as they left the Shennvgou, he would chase them back?

Involuntarily, Li Mo took a look at Zhang Jing and was secretly startled. Could it be that his thoughts on his wife are still there?

"Brother Li." For Li Mo, Zhang Jing showed much more respect. He got up and said solemnly, "I will do my best about Li Shu, so don't worry too much. Besides, the capital has not been peaceful recently. Well, it's really inappropriate for your family to live here, how about this, I have a vacant courtyard in the capital, if you don't mind, you can come and live with me, so that you can be my companion."

"Bieyuan in the capital city?" Li Man thought, Zhang's family is indeed rich.

However, none of the three Li Mo brothers nodded in agreement.

Li Man naturally listened to them.

Li Modao, "Mr. Zhang is too polite. Our brothers come to Beijing to find someone, and we won't live here permanently. Although the conditions here are simple, it is convenient to travel, so we won't cause trouble to Mr. Zhang."

"What trouble is it? Brother Li is still polite to me? If my grandmother knew that you came to Beijing, but the whole family was crowded in such a small room, don't blame me to death. For the sake of my clean ears in the future, why don't you Please help me, just go with me." Zhang Jingdao, glanced at Li Man with a pair of eyes, with a very sincere expression, "Man'er, tell me. I know, you don't want to cause trouble for me. But, I think , when you come out this time, the main task is to find Li Shu, so everything else is secondary. And living with me, it is good for you to find someone, there is no harm."

"This?" Li Man looked hesitantly at the three brothers of the Li family.

Zhang Jing sighed softly in his heart. Usually, the brothers in this family were very afraid of guilt and listened to Li Man's everything. Looking at it now, the important decisions are still made by the men.

"Brother Li, the most important thing is to find Li Shu right now. I know a lot of people in the capital, and I have more information than you. If you live here, it will be troublesome to communicate. Besides." He glanced at Li Man meaningfully. , said, "Man'er's dress can deceive people for a while, but she is a daughter after all, if someone finds out someday?"

He didn't say what happened next, but Li Mo and others guessed it.

"Okay, then follow Mr. Zhang." Li Mo made a decision. In his heart, besides the third brother, he was Li Man.

He didn't want to get too involved with the Zhang family, but some of Zhang Jing's words were right. He knew a lot of people and had good information, which would definitely help him find his third brother.

Moreover, with a fixed residence, Li Man would be much safer and more comfortable.

During this journey, whether she ate well, slept well, and she lost a lot of weight, he saw it in his eyes and felt the pain in his heart.

Zhang Jing smiled. Sure enough, the last weakness of their brothers was Li Man.

But, think about Situ Qing, and the prince's mansion

That master, Zhang Jing can only sigh.

Sometimes, what about princes and nobles? In terms of love, there may not be the joy and happiness that ordinary people come to.

There is no need to look for a house, Li Man is very happy, the most important thing is that Zhang Jing is an acquaintance, which makes her feel at ease.

After tidying up briefly, a group of people followed Zhang Jing's carriage all the way to his residence.

Zhang's Bieyuan is located in the outskirts of Beijing. The Bieyuan is surrounded by towering trees, making it look extraordinarily quiet.

In the other courtyard, apart from an old housekeeper and a few servants, there was no one else.

Zhang Jing said that he only came to Beijing occasionally for business and only stayed for a few days, so he didn't need too many people.

These are all old people from the Zhang family, who are responsible for taking care of the place.

Zhang Jing personally took them to the guest room. Whether it was intentional or not, Li Man was arranged in one courtyard alone, and the three brothers of the Li family were arranged in another.

This made several people feel very uncomfortable. In the end, Li Yan couldn't help it, and threw all the packages in Li Man's room, and said, "Mr. Zhang, our family is already very troublesome with you, so don't separate the two places." , so many people need to take care of you. But you, it’s not easy to go out alone, let those women and maids go to your yard, and Man’er can do everything here.”

Zhang Jing looked at Li Yan with a complicated expression, isn't this guy too clingy to his wife?

But they are husband and wife, it's normal to live together.

Zhang Jing didn't want to be too deliberate, so he just said, "Okay, you can do whatever you want, if you need anything, I'm not here, just ask Uncle Fu."

"Yeah." Li Man nodded.

After settling them down, Zhang Jingzi went to Situ Qing to report back, but Situ Qing opened his mouth and wanted him to coax Li Man out alone.

"What do you want to do?" Looking at Situ Qing's shining eyes, Zhang Jing keenly felt that this guy's flower disease had happened again, so he couldn't help reminding, "She is a married man."

"Where did you want to go?" Situ Qing was a little embarrassed when someone saw through his mind, but he still insisted, "I just want to do my best to be a landlord. Besides, we grew up together anyway, and she doesn't recognize me as a brother. , but I miss her as a girl."

Hearing the words, Zhang Jing straightened his expression and asked, "Qing, is she really the prostitute of the Shangguan family? But, how did she escape? From the way she looks, she seems to know nothing about her identity. Are you sure you're right?"
