The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort - 77. Li's Second Young Master

The patters of rain in Beijing have been falling continuously, and it has been almost a month after another. Many farmlands have been damaged by waterlogging, and the price of grain in Beijing has also begun to rise, even if it is Chen Liang. However, there is not much food at this time. In addition to wealthy people, they can buy fresh food from outside at high prices. For people with a more average life, the food in their homes is dwindling, and some even start to lose their food. People prayed that this spring rain would stop soon, but the sky was unwilling, and the rain did not stop.

Jiang Quan has already arranged the affairs of the family temple. Jiang Susu will be sent to the temple in a few days. Although Xia Yan and Jiang Chao have been trying to persuade Jiang Quan, Jiang Quan’s decision has been made, and the Xia family will also be sent to the temple because of Xia Jun’s reasons. The matter was settled without interceding for Jiang Susu.

As soon as Mrs. Jiang’s birthday passed, there were many more rumors in the capital about the Jiang family. The first thing was that the leader of the void fabricated the fate of Jiang Ruan Tiansha as a lone star. Jiang Ruan has been sent to him since he was five years old. On Zhuangzi, he suffered five more years of disaster for no reason. The upper-class people in Beijing are not blind and deaf. Naturally, there are smart people who can clearly see the doorways. There are other explanations about the name of Xia Yan’s gentle and virtuous talented woman. However, Jiang Ruan’s performance on that day can also be seen to be thoughtful. For a while, the people in Beijing knew that the eldest daughter of the Jiang family could not be underestimated.

Jiang Ruan sat in front of the window and stared at the rain curtain outside the window. The hole in the roof was repaired. After that day, not only the hole but also Yueyin changed back to its original appearance. It was thought that Jiang Quan consciously lost face in front of your wife and warned Xia Yan about this.

Dewdrop held a pot of fresh Chinese rose and put it in front of the courtyard, and walked into the house with a smile: “Girl, the servant girl today heard someone say that the master of the void was arrested by the patrol house, and said it was a trick and a big liar. Now I was sent to the jail and had a good meal. I heard that one leg has been scrapped.” She said that she sipped: “It deserves it, who made him black-hearted, and wrote a rumor about the lone star of the gods to slander. girl.”

Jiang Ruan was noncommittal. There were so many ladies at the scene that day, it was inevitable that someone would leak Dao Void Master. Dao Void Master must have been doing business with Xia Yan’s family for so many years. If anyone who invited him to hear this, he would definitely be angry. , It is natural that a case should be reported to the patrol room.

Forsythia followed her gaze and looked out the window, and sighed Shen Shen, “I don’t know when the rain will stop.” She suddenly whispered, “Girl, food is scarce in the city now, why not sell the food at this time. , It will surely make a lot of money.”

Jiang Ruan shook his head, and Dewdrop said: “The girl wants to wait a few more days? But the rain will stop at some point. Now the timing is right.”

“The food I bought was not sold.” Jiang Ruan smiled slightly.

“What’s the use?” Dewdrop puzzled.

“Save people.”

“Save people.” Dewdrop chewed on these two words, and suddenly her eyes lit up: “Does the girl want to wait a few more days to take out the food for disaster relief, distribute it to the victims, and save their lives.”

“You are only half right,” Jiang Ruan said with a smile: “I didn’t want to save their lives.” It was the Zhao family that she wanted to save.

Dewdrop blinked and didn’t ask much. After thinking about it, she suddenly said, “Girl, the servant girl heard that the reservoir in the northern part of the capital has begun to overflow. The emperor agreed to order the eighth prince to go to treat the water, and also made a special transfer back to Prime Minister Li’s mansion. Young Master Li Ann together.” Dewdrop is a second-class maid. On weekdays, she has more opportunities to contact people in the market. She knows how to deal with her and has a wide range of news channels, so many news can be known at the first time.

“Li Ann.” Jiang Ruan smiled, his eyes were astonishingly bright: “I finally waited.”

Li Dong’s two sons, Li Yang, are suave, unlearned and skillful, and are a complete dude. Now Li Yang has become a waste, Li Dong will definitely not give up. However, the reason for the delay in attacking the Jiang family is probably because of this. Credit for the younger son Ang Lee. Ang Li is sinister and cunning, and extremely clever. Xuanli was very respectful of him at the beginning. If Xuanli wins Li Dong with three points for Li Dong’s power, seven points are for Li Ang’s ingenuity.

Li An is the person who protects his shortcomings most, especially Li Yang is extremely important. Jiang Ruan smiled slightly. Xuanli told her a secret in the previous life, a secret about Li Ang. A secret that even Li Yang and Li Dong don’t know, and this secret will be her biggest bargaining chip.

She said to Dewdrop: “Tell Forsythia and Bai Zhi to come back quickly and get the second leaf card.”

“The girl wants to play leaf cards?” Luzhu smiled: “The slaves and maids will call them back.”

The Prime Minister’s House of Beijing.

Li Dong was sitting on the soft couch in the middle of the hall. A beautiful concubine was rubbing his shoulders, and another beautiful concubine was kneeling under him and gently beating his leg. The expressions on the faces of the two beautiful concubines were a bit scared, Li Dong’s face was pale, his face was full of false smiles, and his fierceness was revealed. It was obvious that he was in a bad mood at the moment.

The young man came to report: “The second young master is back.”

A young man walked from outside the hall. He was only seventeen or eighteen years old. He was dressed in a sky blue jacquard jacquard suit with a yellow tiger ribbon tied around his waist. His face was handsome and his skin was pale, as if he had never walked all the time. In the sun, a pair of dark eyes are full of gloom.

Seeing this boy, Li Dong immediately stood up: “Why did you come back!”

“Father.” Li Ang frowned: “How is the eldest brother now?”

Speaking of Li Yang, a hint of cruelty flashed across Li Dong’s face: “What else, this life is over. I have to bury Jiang Susu.”

“Don’t act rashly in this matter.” Li An glanced at Li Dong displeased. Hearing what he said, Li Dong said angrily: “You told me to leave Jiang’s house temporarily in your letter. What’s the matter? Your brother is lying in bed and can’t move, so he can’t kill that bitch?”

“Father really thinks that the eldest brother was harmed by Miss Jiang Er?” Li An said.

“What’s the meaning?”

Ang Li looked at him mockingly: “It couldn’t be more obvious. My father has been dazzled by anger and can no longer think seriously. This matter is just a provocation by someone who has the intention to provoke the conflict between the Jiang family and the Li family. It’s nothing more than reaping the benefits of fishermen.”

“Is it from the fifth prince?” Li Dong asked. Today, the five princes are the five princes who sing the opposites between Chaozhong and Xuanli.

“No.” Li Ang interrupted him: “Jiang’s Mansion is no more than a square inch of land. At that time, the person who was plotting against the big brother must be in the Jiang’s Mansion. It is very likely that it is the Jiang family. I thought about it, Miss Jiang Er is the most unlikely The other daughters of Jiang’s family, Miss Jiang San’s aunt’s family and Jiang Quan’s career are involved, and it is impossible to destroy their careers. Only the eldest and the fourth are left. These two biological mothers are not there, and they are not loved by Jiang Quan. If you don’t want Jiang Quan to live well, it’s probably these two. From the point of view of the consequences, Miss Jiang benefited the most afterwards.”

“You mean Ms. Jiang tricked your eldest brother and blamed the second lady? Bitch!” Li Dong’s expression was extremely contorted.

“Not necessarily, so I need to go to Jiang’s house and see these two with my own eyes to be sure.” A strange light flashed in Li An’s eyes: “Dare to count on the eldest brother, I am not brave enough, if I catch…” An excited smile appeared at the corner of Li An’s mouth, and Junxiu’s face looked very strange at the moment: “It must be tortured slowly to be fun.”

Jiang Ruanzheng and Forsythia played leaf cards. Jiang Ruan won the game. Dewdrop said, “The girl always wins. Anyway, she also loses a round to make the slaves happy. Could it be fraud?”

Forsythia knocked her head: “What nonsense, if you are not as skilled as people, you will say that the girl is cheating, don’t feel embarrassed!”

Jiang Ruan raised his eyebrows: “Didn’t you learn the leaf card from a young age? Why do you still need someone to make it?”

Dewdrop blushed: “Girls are born masters.”

Several people were talking and laughing, and suddenly a little maid came at the door and said, “Miss, the second young master of the Li family is in the hall and wants to see you.”

Forsythia and Bai Zhi changed their expressions and looked at Jiang Ruan nervously. Jiang Ruan said nonchalantly, “The action is really fast.”

“Be careful girl,” Luzhu said earnestly: “The Second Young Master Li’s city mansion is very deep, I might have learned something this time.”

“It was originally made for him.” Jiang Ruan smiled: “Forsythia, Bai Zhi, let’s go.”

When the three of them walked into the hall, Jiang Susu and Jiang Dan were there. At this moment, Jiang Susu was talking to the boy, and Li An said: “The second lady is such a wonderful person, but she is possessed by a demon. It’s a pity for people.” It looked quite regrettable.

Jiang Susu’s beautiful eyes are full of water, and when he looks at it, he is forced to bear the grievance, and at a glance, he looks like a pitiful look. Said: “It’s all… Su Niang’s fate.” The second young master of the Li family is completely different from the eldest young master. Li Yang has become like that. Today Li Ann came to call her by name to see her. Jiang Susu was still a little scared in his heart. Li Ang was very gentle, and didn’t blame it at all. On the contrary, he comforted him when he heard that she was going to the family temple. A trace of anger flashed in Jiang Susu’s heart. This was the marriage Xia Yan wanted to arrange for Jiang Ruan before. Why is Jiang Ruan always so good for such a handsome and gentle man!

Jiang Ruan stood in front of the hall, naturally looking at Jiang Susu’s shy appearance, and a sneer crossed his heart. Jiang Susu was really naive, really thinking that the gentle noble young master sitting in front of her, the young master’s thoughts, It is deeper than the most poisonous snake.

Jiang Dan had been sitting on the side with a timid and uneasy expression, and when he saw Jiang Ruanlai, he opened his mouth in surprise: “Big sister!”

Jiang Susu and Li An looked towards Jiang Ruan together, Jiang Ruan smiled slightly, and then slowly stepped forward and bowed to Li An: “I have seen the second son of Li.”

Li An quickly looked at Jiang Ruan and said with a smile: “Miss Jiang.”

Jiang Ruan sat down beside Jiang Dan and looked at Li Ang, “What’s the matter with the second son?” She was too lazy to talk nonsense, and asked Li Ang straightforwardly. Li Ang’s eyes flashed a glimmer of light and smiled: “It’s okay, just Something happened to my brother in your house…”

“Oh, how is the eldest son now?” She was worried, but her eyes were calm.

“Not so good.” Li Ang lowered his head and sighed, “I was injured very badly in your mansion that day.”

“It’s unfortunate.” Jiang Ruan said. The plain tone was somehow piercing in Li Ang’s ears, as if it was a little bit of a smile.

“Does the eldest girl have any opinion on this matter?” Li An raised his voice.

“It’s just a misunderstanding,” Jiang Ruan said with a smile: “Second sister is young and ignorant, but Ruan Niang thinks that Brother Ling is not at all wrong.” She picked herself clean, and said lightly. Jiang Susu was furious while listening: “You…” She swallowed her own words, and she was in the hall just now. She revealed a lot of news to Li An overtly and secretly, and turned all her attention to Jiang Ruan.

“It’s just a misunderstanding?” Ang Li smiled, “I think it seems to be arranged deliberately. Miss thinks it is a misunderstanding?”

“Naturally, Ruan Niang thought it was a misunderstanding,” Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: “If the eldest son has other ideas, he can naturally go to Jing Zhaoyin to ask for an explanation. It is really not good, and the Prime Minister can also blame his father when he is in the court. Your Majesty is determined to make the decision for Brother Ling and will punish my father. Even though Ruan Niang is a Jiang family, she only obeys the law. However, Ruan Niang also has to remind Grand Prince that the cause at that time, the brother also has to pay half of the responsibility. The Jiang family is really being held accountable, and the Li family won’t leave it all if they want to.”

Li And stared at Jiang Ruan’s eyes steadily. She knew that if the incident were to stabbed Jing Zhaoyin, the whole city would know the fact that Li Yang was castrated, and now the news was completely blocked. If it was really spread out, with Li Yang’s temperament, the whole person would be faceless alive. live. Moreover, if it is really like that, the Prime Minister’s Mansion may have to reshuffle the cards. Jing Zhaoyin couldn’t say it, and it was even more impossible to complain to the emperor. Jiang Ruan seems generous, but in fact every road he says is a dead end. His interest suddenly rose, and he smiled: “Then Miss Jiang thinks, how should this matter be resolved?”

“Then it depends on what the Prime Minister thinks?” Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: “However, once this happened, the future of the Prime Minister’s Mansion depends on the second son.” Her tone was flat, but her eyes were meaningful.

Li An was startled for a moment, then suddenly squeezed his palms and smiled: “Interesting, it’s so funny! The eldest lady is so smart, it’s really not difficult to be tempted.”

Jiang Susu’s body became stiff, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes. He only heard Jiang Ruan say indifferently: “Prince Li was also very tempted with the second sister before.”

Li An’s conversation turned: “I heard that Missy’s biological mother is Miss General Zhao’s mansion, why has she cut contact now?”

Jiang Ruan said calmly: “Private is dead, everything is dust, including the deceased.”

“That’s not going to happen,” Li Ang seemed to be deliberately teasing her: “In a few days, I will follow His Royal Highness to control the water. Your Majesty is very concerned about the floods in Beijing this time. I heard that Missy’s cousin Zhao Yi is the Beijing guard. If you seize the opportunity this time, I’m afraid you will make a great feat.”

Jiang Ruan’s fingers in his sleeves clenched slightly, his face was not shaken, and he said, “That has nothing to do with Ruan Niang.”

“General Zhao is half-armed and has received countless rewards. It is really worrying to see some people in Beijing starting to have a lot of food. Master Zhao has the world in mind. If you can distribute a portion of the food to the victims, the people will be grateful to him.”

“My son, speak carefully.” Jiang Ruan said lightly. She knew that Li Ang was deliberately angering her. Even if there are Jinshan Yinshan in General Zhao’s mansion, there are so many victims in Beijing today, and there will be refugees coming in in the future. If there is no excess grain to buy at a high price with gold and silver, even Jinshan Yinshan will be hollowed out.

Li An laughed loudly: “I have benefited a lot from talking to the eldest lady. It is not early now, so I will go back first and meet again in the future. I hope that the eldest lady can still talk and laugh like today.” Although his handsome face With a smile, there was a gloom in his deep eyes that was out of sight, as if it had been quenched with snake venom.

Jiang Ruan nodded: “Definitely.”

Ang Lee turned and left without speaking. As soon as he turned his head, all the smiles on his face faded, and his face was gloomy and terrible. After leaving Jiang’s mansion, the young man next to him asked cautiously: “Master, did Miss Jiang do it?”

“It’s her.” Li Ang turned on his horse. The stinky girl had eyes that couldn’t see her emotions. Faced with his doubts, she accepted, and she was still provoking him!

The horse hissed with a whip and ran out in the blink of an eye.

Naturally, on the streets of the capital, it was not only this horse, Li Ang passed by with another horse when he was galloping. That horse is a rare good horse, with black and shiny hair Guanghua beautiful, and immediately sat a man with a hat and cloak. Stopped at a restaurant in the city, handed the horse to Xiao Er, and went upstairs by himself.

When he walked to the second floor, the maidservant guided him to an elegant seat. He pulled the bead curtain and walked in. When the people in the room saw him, the people sitting on the side lit up: “Second brother!”

Guan Lianghan was the great general of Zhen Guo in the Dajin Dynasty. He was brave and good at fighting. The name of the god of war resounded all around. This time the class returned to the court and did not follow the big army, so he slipped back by himself. He has always been an unfettered temper, and the emperor opened his eyes and closed his eyes when he knew it. He looked at the boy who called him “Second Brother”, it was Mo Cong.

Mo Cong said: “Second brother, what about the jackal cubs in the northwest you brought me last time?” He had long wanted such a little jackal cub to keep secretly in the house.

“I’ll wait for the team to come back and send it to you in a few days.” Guan Lianghan was in his early thirties, burly and handsome, with a beard all over his face. Like a woman, I will let you and your brother go to the desert to exercise. You will be as thin as a monkey.”

Mo Cong was not convinced: “Second brother, what’s so good about that? Seeing you only know how to fight all day long, Bai has grown so big. Besides, what’s the matter with thinness? Third brother is also thin, which is not good.”

“Can you compare with your third elder brother?” Guan Lianghan tried to slap him: “Your third elder brother can crush you to death with one finger.”

Xiao Shao, who had been sitting silent for a long time, finally raised her head: “Second.”

“I said the third child, how do you get used to this kid on weekdays? If you haven’t seen it in a year, it’s getting more and more out of shape.” Guan Lianghan said.

When they were young, they went out of the same school, a total of eight brothers, Guan Lianghan ranked second, Xiao Shao third, Mo Cong seventh, ranked eighth, but Xuanli. Xuanli went to the mountain to study art at the beginning, and learned it for half a year. Then something happened. From then on, there was no such person in the teacher’s door. Everyone did not mention the matter tacitly. No one outside knows their relationship, so they call it that way only in private.

“How long are you going to stay in Beijing this time?” Xiao Shao asked.

Accustomed to Xiao Shao’s deserted temperament, Guan Lianghan scratched his head: “A person from the northwest has been sent to negotiate a peace. If you don’t worry about it, you will stay in the capital for the time being.”

“Ah, second brother, we can play together in the future.” Mo Cong said excitedly.

“Who the hell wants to play with you, sissy.” Guan Lianghan has always been indifferent to Mo Cong’s weakness, and Mo Cong’s martial arts is the weakest one, basically only learning a fur.

Xiao Shao said: “The third child, I’ll ask you about someone.”

“Who?” Guan Lianghan asked.

“Jiang Xinzhi,” he asked, “Do you have this person under your command? Young master Jiang family.”

“Jiang family?” Guan Lianghan frowned: “The Jiang family of Jiang Quan in the capital? I don’t have a person with the surname Jiang, Xiaobing doesn’t know. What are you looking for, the Jiang family? When did you get involved with the Jiang family? Don’t blame the second brother for not reminding you, the Jiang family is a pool of muddy water, but behind the Xia family, who is the Xia family, it’s unclear about the old ba, the old ba is the stinky mud, and whoever gets it is fucking bad luck!”

“I have nothing to do with Xuanli.” Xiao Shao said.

“Second brother, third brother is not for the eighth prince,” Mo Cong teased, “for the eldest lady of the Jiang family.”

“What Miss Jiang family?” Guan Lianghan said: “Doesn’t Jiang Quan only have a daughter, that’s what kind of talented woman, the third child, do you like her? Not so, when did your vision become so bad?”

Guan Lianghan has not stayed in the capital for a year and has no idea about Jiang Ruan. Xiao Shao glanced at Mo Cong coldly. Mo Cong was unmoved and touched his nose: “Brother Ye, Ye Feng told me, didn’t you order him to investigate Miss Jiang. What’s the matter?” He urged Guan Lianghan to smile and said: “This Miss Jiang just returned to Beijing when she was in her senior year. She was born to Jiang Shangshu’s passing wife. She was beautiful and beautiful, but she was quite fierce and had a very good temper. Miss and Mrs. Jiang went round and round.” He thought of something, and suddenly smiled: “I’m afraid that Young Master Jiang has followed her way.” Mo Cong was originally smart, and Jiang Chao’s things were also vaguely guessed. Hearing Mo Cong’s words, Guan Lianghan frowned: “You say that, she is a vicious-hearted woman?”

“It doesn’t matter what kind of person she is.” Xiao Shao said indifferently: “Is there really no such person as Jiang Xinzhi under your hand?”

Seeing him like this, Guan Lianghan put away his stern expression on his face, and said, “There is no one Jiang Xinzhi, but I know there is a person named Xinzhi Zhao.”

Xinzhi Zhao? Xiao Shao raised his eyebrows: “It’s him.” Jiang Xinzhi hates the Jiang family in the first place. If he joins the army, he will change to his mother’s surname.

“Where is he now?” Xiao Shao asked.

“I entered Beijing, and he followed the army behind.” Guan Lianghan said: “He is my deputy. You said he is the young master of the Jiang family?”

“Vice general?” Mo Cong looked at Xiao Shao: “Brother, your brother-in-law is very good.”

Guan Lianghan and Xiao Shao both regarded Mo Cong as air. Guan Lianghan said: “This Xinzhi Zhao should not be underestimated. He started as a small soldier who did a good job and moved upward. When he entered the barracks, he followed the old Qiyi. He was so thin, he looked like a scholar, and could be blown away by a gust of wind. He kept asking to go to the battlefield, but I did not agree. Later, I saw that he was doing good exercises, so I took him to war. This man was not afraid of death, and he didn’t dare to kill at first, but he killed him later. It’s cruel, and there is no scholar’s sourness. I think he is a man, and he is getting better and better in battle. After a few military merits, he was promoted to lieutenant. This time he took the initiative to ask me to return to Beijing.”

Xiao Shao looked at him, and Guan Lianghan said: “You said Miss Jiang family, if Xinzhi Zhao is really Jiang Xinzhi, Miss Jiang is his sister. I have heard of Xinzhi Zhao’s sister, and I asked him why he was not afraid of death in war. , He said that he would have a military service and be promoted in order to have a position to protect his sister.” He paused and looked at Mo Cong and said: “But Xinzhi Zhao told me about his sister, he said that he was innocent and gentle, gentle and gentle. Bullied everywhere. How come you are a poisonous woman in your mouth?”

Mo Cong spouted a mouthful of water with a strange expression: “Tender and gentle? Innocent and pleasant? Everywhere bullied?” He grabbed Xiao Shao’s arm: “Brother, I think you must have admitted the wrong person, that Xinzhi Zhao I am definitely not alone with Jiang Xinzhi. I can’t tell Miss Jiang is a person who can be bullied no matter how you look at it. Just don’t be bullied by her.”

Xiao Shao opened his hand: “What kind of person do you think Xinzhi Zhao is?”

Guan Lianghan saw that Xiao Shao’s expression did not seem to be a joke, and said with a serious face: “Just as you said he is really Jiang Quan’s cub, he is also a different person from Jiang Quan. Whether he was a scholar before or a lieutenant now, They are still men.”

“Is there anything special,” Xiao Shao’s cold eyes were emotionally heavy: “For example, prophecy.”

“Prophecy?” Guan Lianghan was stunned: “The third child, are you sick? What predictions do not predict? If you can predict, then you will win the battle again and again, what do you want me to do as the general?”

Mo Cong’s expression moved after hearing Xiao Shao’s words, and said, “Brother, did you find something?”

“Nothing.” Xiao Shao said indifferently: “The emperor asked Lao Ba to treat the water and also called Li Ang.”

“An Li? What did he do when he came back?” Mo Cong said, he was very hostile to Li An, Li An was extremely clever, but he didn’t need to be on the right path. Who was a little friend from Guimen who hadn’t been overshadowed by him when he was a child? Mo Cong is no exception, and because Mo Cong is also smarter, Li Ang stumbled upon him when he was a child. And as Li An gets better with age, secretly the dark people’s kung fu is becoming more and more sophisticated, and the methods are becoming more and more vicious.

“What does the emperor mean? I am optimistic about the old eight?” Guan Lianghan said. Such words are heard in the ears of outsiders, arrogantly discussing Tian’s family affairs is to behead, but Guan Lianghan does not care. If this time the water control and Xuanli are successful, the prestige in the ruling and the opposition will be higher, and the people will be more supportive. On the contrary, the position of the prince is increasingly precarious. The mind on the dragon chair in the Jiuzhong Palace has always been something that their subjects could not guess, and it has been even more elusive in recent years. True or false, false or false, true or false, I am afraid that Xuanli himself does not know the emperor’s intentions.

“If he is really optimistic about Xuanli, the prince will not live until now.” Xuanli said coldly.

“Brother, what shall we do now?”

“Wait.” Xiao Shao played with the dagger in his hand and said lightly: “It’s not accidental that Li An suddenly returned to Beijing. I want to see what the Li family wants to do.”
