Fierce “Husband”

Shao Yunan and Wang Shijing went back to Fang Qingqing and I went, but Jiang Kangning didn't leave, and helped his brother to put Jiang Moxi to sleep. Jiang Kangning asked his brother's current situation when no one was there, Jiang Kangchen said calmly: "I took the Wu family's shop. And the title deeds have been returned."

Jiang Kangning squinted: "The two women have troubled you again, haven't they?"

Jiang Kangchen smiled lightly. Said: "They will have to weigh up if they want to trouble me in the future." He said to his brother indifferently, "I kept the shop and land for Xi'er before, I can't let him suffer with me, but also to reassure you, Now I am doing things for the queen, and I am still doing business to make money. The shop and land will be paid back, so that they don't bother me and Xi'er again with this excuse.

Now the shop needed for business is either the Queen's or the Emperor's. At first, they asked for trouble once. Those who made trouble were beaten out without even entering the door. The queen said that the people from the An Guogong's mansion will not dare to come to trouble me in the future. You are considered to be in the eyes of the emperor this time, and you don't have to worry about me. Although Kang Ning, Yun An and Ishii are ordinary people, they are the great benefactors of our Jiang family. If you recognize them as adopted brothers, you must be good brothers. "

"Don't worry, eldest brother. Although Yun An keeps saying that he wants me to be their backer, but I know that I have benefited from their blessings. Although I haven't figured out the matter of this fund, I just listen to Yun An's meaning. It can really be done, big brother, you are the confidant of the queen, even if you can’t go to the court to be an official, you don’t have to be afraid of the Anguo Gongfu. I never thought that it was only a temporary feeling, but you can get such a profound blessing. Two brothers."

Jiang Kangchen held his younger brother's hand and smiled lightly: "My brother has taken advantage of you, Kang Ning, don't worry about me anymore, I'm fine in the city now, and the queen said that I will be responsible for half of the business in the future. The profit of the success, this time the queen originally wanted to give me 7,000 taels of silver, but I didn't want it. It was difficult for the emperor and the queen. I only wanted half, and it was a lot. In the future, our family's livelihood will become more and more The better, I can rest assured that Xi'er will stay here in the future, and work hard for the brotherhood to do what the queen explained. Yun An is right, even if you are not flattering to the top in your career, you will inevitably need money. Be a good official and a good official, I will earn money for you and Xi'er for my brother, and if you are both good, I will be fine."

Jiang Kangning wrapped his arms around his elder brother gently: "Hello, Xi'er and I can be better." After a long silence, he whispered, "Brother, if you find a suitable one, you can find another one."

Jiang Kangchen's eyes were smooth, but he smiled and said, "If I really meet someone who is suitable, I will look for you. You are. When will you find me a younger brother and sister?"

Jiang Kangning let go of his brother and laughed: "I will marry, but there are so many things to be busy right now, I will look for it when I am done."

After all, it was late at night. Knowing that the Wu family could no longer trouble his brother, and things in the capital were progressing smoothly, Jiang Kangning resigned and returned to his room. Jiang Kangchen didn't go to sleep immediately after his younger brother left. He sat beside the bed and looked at his sleeping son. He heard what his younger brother said just now. After leaving the Wu family, it was not that no one showed his favor, nor that no one said that he would take Xier. It hurts as his own son, but his heart is no longer on him. He and Wu Jian have no fate in this life, and only wait for the next life to continue their relationship.

===================================================== ============================= Tea and wine sales are so hot, as the direct external person in charge, Jiang Kangchen brought his son to Xiushui One of the reasons for the Chinese New Year in the village is to temporarily leave the capital. Those who are interested in the tea and wine business can't go to the queen, so naturally they all come to him. When he left the capital, he also meant the queen. The newly-made tea and wine are so beneficial, the emperor will never let others interfere. It is estimated that when Jiang Kangchen returns to the capital after the new year, those who are interested should have been beaten by the queen so much that they dare not think of all kinds of ways. Start with him.

Although Empress Qiansui has no children and is not very healthy, she has always been a powerful figure that cannot be underestimated. Empress Jun has always won the favor and trust of Emperor Yongming. to steal such a lucrative deal.

"The queen came from a side branch of the Dai family. The queen's parents died early. She grew up in the parent's home and was liked by the old general. She has always been raised as the direct young master of the Dai family. When the emperor was still a prince, the queen was the emperor's. Companion reading, and later he followed the emperor to fight around. Ishii said that Dai Zhanxiao, the junior general, also called the emperor a little uncle. The general's mansion is very strict, and the children of the mansion have never done anything to deceive others, even now it counts. The emperor is a relative of the royal family and still has a low-key role. Dai Zhanxiao went to the border to fight at the age of twelve. The general is loyal and righteous. It’s a pity that the queen has never been released, if Yun’an, your Guyuan ointment can really take care of the queen’s body, you are a great credit, and no amount of money you make for the emperor can compare to it.”

After breakfast, Shao Yunan heard some inside information from Jiang Kangchen, and felt a lot of pressure: "Uh, Brother Jiang, I can't guarantee this."

Jiang Kangchen said: "I and Kang Ning both hope that the Queen's body will be healthy."

"I hope too." Shao Yunan slept on the bamboo strips with the snacks in his hand, and said without concealment: "The Queen's health is good, and our business can be stable. The Queen is a man, not like a woman. She is so calculating, she is too shrewd, she will not be too harsh on us, if it is the emperor's woman, I am afraid it will be very troublesome."

Jiang Kangchen did not dare to speak as bluntly as Shao Yunan, nodded silently, and reminded: "Don't say this in front of outsiders."

"I know, it was you and I, Brother Jiang, who said it."

Shao Yunan was making dim sum in the listening room, and after it was done, he would take it to the oven to bake. Guo Ziyu and Guo Zimu were busy in the kitchen with the dishes to be simmered. Wang Shijing was slaughtering sheep and chickens in the backyard. Jiang Kangning also joined the fun on a whim. Now, Wang Qing and Nizi took Jiang Moxi to the animal barn to see the cattle, horses and poultry raised at home.

Jiang Moxi is an autistic child. Anyone who approaches him will react indifferently. Shao Yunan encouraged Wang Qing and Nizi to contact Jiang Moxi more. He stopped Jiang Kangchen, who was worried, and asked the two children to take Jiang Moxi to play.

Jiang Kangchen was also eating Guyuan paste, but the time he ate it was still short, and Shao Yunan didn't ask him how he felt after eating it. In order not to attract attention, the Lingquan Lingyu he added was diluted and the reaction would not be too fast. . If the conditioning process is slow and gentle, it will not cause trouble, and it will make sense in the future. However, after taking it for two or three months in a row, it will start to have an effect. The light that Wang Shijing can see in his left eye is already obvious, but he can't see it yet. After all, his eyeball is necrotic.

Jiang Kangchen was worried about his son, but the servant who followed him in the past never came to him, indicating that there was nothing wrong there, and he gradually felt relieved. Jiang Kangchen couldn't remember the last time he felt so calm during the Chinese New Year. Sitting with Shao Yunan and learning to make a few simple desserts with him, Jiang Kangchen was even a little dazed, he just felt it was unreal.

Taking a breath, Jiang Kangchen said, "Yun An, Kang Ning will trouble you and Ishii to take care of him. For so many years, because of me, he has never been around anyone. You also help me to persuade him. He is already in his twenties. Others have already become fathers at this age, and Xi’er and I have settled down, he doesn’t need to worry about us anymore, he should worry about his own life-long affairs.”

Shao Yunan didn't want to ask more about Jiang Kangchen, but judging from Jiang Kangchen's appearance, it should be more stable as he said. At least now that Jiang Kangchen has an empress behind him, no matter how powerful the government is, can it surpass the empress and the emperor? He nodded: "I will persuade Big Brother."

In the backyard, Jiang Kangning was holding a knife, sharpening it, Wang Shijing frowned, and said again: "Brother, you should still hold a pen in your hand, and I'll do the skinning and deboning."

Jiang Kangning waved his hand holding the knife: "If you don't do it, you will never do it. I'm not a guest here with you, am I just slaughtering sheep? I can do it."

Wang Shijing can't say that he has no confidence.

The elder brother has no relationship with the Wu family at all, and the Queen has the support of the elder brother. More than half of the burden in Jiang Kangning's heart has been removed, and this mood has been flying a lot. He has not even killed a chicken before. Although the sheep is dead, has he really done the work of skinning, caesarean section, and gutting?

Almost every household in the village is full of smoke from cooking. Today is New Year's Eve, and everyone starts to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner early. Especially this year, many people in the village have made money and bought a lot of New Year's goods, including wine and meat. It's not much, of course it takes a good year to earn money, but there are also some people who sigh and sigh, but what can they do?

Wang Shuping's family also bought good wine and meat this year. My son is going to Baiyue Academy at the beginning of the new year. He has been going to Dean Cen every day for lectures these days. Not only that his knowledge has improved significantly, Dean Cen is also satisfied. Wang Shuping seemed to see his son going to study at the Guozijian, how could he be unhappy, how could he not be willing to spend money, Wang Wenhe is also smiling every day now, and he is happy when he sees his grandson.

Wang Yan did not lose face to his grandfather and father. He studied harder than before. He was able to go to Baiyue Academy to study entirely on Uncle An's face. If he didn't study hard and was expelled by Dean Cen, wouldn't he be as embarrassing as Wang Zhisong? Wang Yan studied hard, and Zhao Congbo also worked very hard. Du Bo became like Wang Zhisong. Now Wang Zhisong is no longer the object of study in the eyes of the villagers, but has become a negative teaching material.

The Lizheng family is absolutely prosperous this year. After the New Year, the two sons are about to be separated. The family has undergone earth-shaking changes this year, so the meaning of this year is extraordinarily different. Zhao He's family Right in the village, Zhao He was the only son again, and Zhao He's two fathers were helping to make jam. Lizheng asked Zhao He to call both his father and his little father over—for the New Year, Zhao He couldn't be happier.

Compared with these happy people, the old lady Wang's family is definitely not much better, not to mention the gloomy clouds. Wang Chunxiu lost her face, and she didn't go out after that day. Mrs. Wang was lying sick in bed. Wang Zhisong went to the county and rented a house to live in. He was also laughed at in the village, it is better to study quietly in the county. Although Mrs. Wang didn't want her son to be away from home during the Chinese New Year, thinking of her son's future, she still paid for the people.

Mrs. Wang felt unhappy in her heart, and the anger naturally spread to Wang Chunxiu and Wang Zaizheng. Wang Chunxiu, who used to have no fingers in the sun, now not only has to do laundry and cook every day, but also feed chickens and pigs. Wang Zaizheng is skinny and skinny. He doesn't have enough food and clothing every day, and he has to do a lot of work. Mrs. Wang was lying on the bed and scolded this and that, but she rarely scolded Wang Dali. Wang Dali seemed to be more dull than before. He didn't kill a pig or a sheep, but killed a chicken to be considered for the New Year. scene. In previous years, how could Wang Chunxiu wear new clothes for the New Year, let alone new clothes this year, it is hard to say whether she will be able to marry in this life.

To say that the most hearty New Year's Eve dinner in the village is definitely Wang Shijing's and Shao Yun'an's. In the morning, various scents wafted from the kitchen from time to time. Noon per person - a bowl of chicken noodle soup, and the big meal will be eaten in the evening. Shao Yunan's cooking is delicious, and his apprentice Guo Zimu's cooking is also delicious, even Jiang Moxi ate it quietly - a large bowl of chicken noodle soup with a tea egg, Jiang Kangning and Jiang Kangchen were very happy. Jiang Kangning forgot about the pain in his left thumb—he accidentally cut his hand while unraveling the sheep.

He caught each of the three children—a small handful of tea candy, and Shao Yunan was ready to continue working. Guo Ziyu came in from the outside and said with a smile, "Yun An, Shijing, Old Cen and his wife are here."

Shao Yunan and Wang Shijing were not surprised to see the people behind Guo Ziyu. Old Cen said with a smile: "Anger, my wife and I have come to disturb us. It's really deserted that there are only two of us during the Chinese New Year."

Shao Yunan hurried up to meet him: "I can't ask for it! Brother Jing and I are still thinking of inviting your second elder over here, but we are afraid that you will have your own arrangements."

Mrs. Cen said embarrassedly, "I can't tell you, but he wants to come and says he wants to eat your dishes."

"Ha, it's not easy for old Cen to want to eat. It's okay to stay for a long time in the future."

Cen old couple - come, the family is more lively. Wang Qing and Nizi paid New Year's greetings to the two old people, and Wang Qing also asked Jiang Moxi to introduce them to the two old people. The old couple Cen knew Jiang Moxi's situation and didn't mind Jiang Moxi's silence.

Elder Cen's children are all in the capital. Elder Cen is reluctant to go to the capital to celebrate the New Year, and he also feels that the head of the section hurts his children to run back and forth. The court officials were about to open the court on the tenth day of the new year, and it was freezing cold again. Old Cen's son said that he would come back to accompany his parents for the Chinese New Year. Old Cen simply told his son that they would come to Shao Yun'an for Chinese New Year.

Cen Lao - come, he pulls Jiang Kangning to play Go, Shao Yun'an makes red jujube tea for them to drink, Mrs. Cen and Jiang Kangchen learn to make snacks with Guo Zimu, Guo Ziyu helps Shao Yunan in the kitchen, Wang Shijing is asked by Cen Lao and Jiang Kangning to be beside - Follow chess.

Not long after the old couple came here, it rained and snowed outside. In Yongxiu County, there is no heavy snow in winter. It is rain and snow at most, but it is colder than the north. However, Shao Yun has installed floor heating and wall heating, which is not only not cold. , It was still a little hot, even Old Cen took off his cotton shirt.

The three of them played chess in the small hall. Old Cen chess was high and he won two games. - While accepting his son, Old Cen said: "Ishijing, your younger brother seems to have gone to live in the county. Some students have seen him a few times, do you know?"

Jiang Kangning took a cup of tea and took a sip of tea. Looking at Wang Shijing, Wang Shijing said indifferently, "I don't know. I won't ask about the big house."

Old Cen said: "Kang Ning should have mentioned to you the new rules for scientific examinations that the emperor has ordered? The list will be announced in April at the latest."

"mentioned."

Elder Cen pondered for a moment and said, "With his current reputation, I'm afraid it is impossible to continue the test. But if you want to help him, I can write him the 'recommendation letter'."

Wang Shijing didn't think about it and said: "You are always interested, but things in the big house are not involved. They came to make trouble again a few years ago. Even if he can change it in the future, he will never change his family's greed. You If Lao helps me this time, I'm afraid it will cause trouble. He can't blame me for this step today."

Jiang Kangning and Old Cen asked in unison, "What are they making trouble again?"

Wang Shijing said coldly: "My mother wanted to live in, but she also wanted to hold me again to get my wealth. She brought Wang Chunxiu here to make trouble, but Yun An didn't let them in. I think Wang Chunxiu is like that, I'm afraid it's really a guess for the eldest brother. bingo."

"Guess what?" Old Cen asked.

Jiang Kangning didn't want to say anything, but Wang Shijing replied sympathetically (schadenfreude): "Wang Chunxiu may have fallen in love with eldest brother. She ran to my house again and again, probably because Yunan and I would help her matchmaking with eldest brother."

Cen Lao coughed twice, then shook his head speechlessly, because the other party was also Wang Shijing's family, so Cen Lao couldn't say anything.

Jiang Kangning only said one sentence: "That family has a big heart."
