He was reborn and I wasn't!

The prosperity of Bianjing is not inferior to that of Jinling.

It’s just that the prosperity of Jinling is a Jiangnan ditty with silk and bamboo orchestras, a red candle boat on the riverside of a water town, and the lights of thousands of families in the rainy night.Its people have no worries about food and clothing, live in abundance, and indulge in pleasure.It has the best embroidery workshop in the world, the number one dancer in Daliang, and countless silks and satins.

Different from the glitz of Jinling, the prosperity of Bianjing is a towering and solemn palace, row upon row of houses, and streets extending in all directions.It is rigorous and strict, and abides by the principle of working at sunrise and resting at sunset, with bells ringing in the morning and curfews at night.It has the most forest gardens in the world, a magnificent altar hunting ground, and countless students.

Jiang Yan stood in front of the residence of Governor Liang Jiang.

He knew very well that in a place like Bianjing, everyone is a fine person who observes people's words and looks at people's food.Just the three of them, who just came from a small place, don’t look like they have any good clothes on them. Even if the steward of the governor of Liangjiang didn’t give them a supercilious look, they wouldn’t get any good treatment, maybe they wouldn’t even get in. .Therefore, as soon as Jiang Yan arrived in the capital, he immediately took his junior brother and Yan Xing to find an inn, washed up, and went to a shop on the street to buy some good clothes after eating.

Jiang Yan handed a greeting card to the butler who came out of the door.

It was midsummer, Jiang Yan had a purple gold crown inlaid with jade on his head, a lotus-colored gauze shirt on his body, his face was like a crown of jade, and his demeanor made the housekeeper look at him twice when he opened the greeting card.When he saw the Jinlingjiang family on the invitation card, the housekeeper's expression also became respectful, and he said: "Young master, the second young master of the family has not returned since he went out in the morning. If you don't mind, why don't you go with the old slave?" Go to the side room and wait for a while?"

Jiang Yan nodded and said: "Alright, there is a housekeeper over there." He came here to see Liang Zhiping, he was not a distinguished guest in this house, and he had no business with Governor Liang Jiang, so there was no need to go to the main room Wait, it's more comfortable in the side room.

The butler said "Don't dare dare", and led them into the mansion with a smile on his face.

Not long after the three of Jiang Yan sat down in the side room, the housekeeper asked someone to serve tea.

The tea soup is translucent, and the fried tea leaves are shaped like silver needles, gray-green in color, and rise and fall in the boiling water.Jiang Yan recognized at a glance that it was Jinling Silver Needle. His family had drunk it a lot, so it was not rare.

While thinking that the governor of Liangjiang deserved to be the magistrate of Pingzhou, as expected, he still misses the taste of home more, and said with a smile: "Thank you."

On the other hand, Yan Xing replied, "Strong but not bitter, fragrant but not astringent, good tea. If I'm not mistaken, this is Jinling Silver Needle. One tael of fried tea leaves costs one tael of silver."

The butler had a hint of complacency on his face, and just as he was about to reply, he heard the young master of the Jiang family sitting in front of him ask, "Does Senior Yan like to drink this? Then you might as well follow me to Jinling, my family seems to have quite a few of them." .”

housekeeper:"……"

While everyone was talking, a small furry head suddenly protruded from the door.

Yan Xing was very keen, he saw it at the first sight, and said with a smile: "The little hairy kid came here to play."

Jiang Yan followed his gaze, and saw a child holding on to the door frame, with puffy cheeks, looking around with big eyes, with a ignorant and innocent expression.The servant at the side was sweating anxiously, and coaxed: "Young master, it's so hot here, don't play anymore, okay? It's so comfortable to go back, if you don't go back for a while, Madam will talk about you again."

Jiang Yan smiled and said to Shang Ning next to him: "Little brother, look, does this little doll look a bit like Liang Zhiping? I think this little kid is his younger brother."

Shang Ning nodded.In fact, he has no impression of Liang Zhiping whom he met a few years ago, but his senior brother said that he looks like him, so there should be some resemblance.

Seeing Jiang Yan smiling at him, the child was just holding on to the door frame, but now he went straight in, his big and round eyes only staring at Jiang Yan.

Yan Xing smiled and said to Jiang Yan: "This doll wants to play with you."

Seeing the kid staring at him, Jiang Yan also found it interesting, so he opened his hands to him and said, "Come to play with brother?"

Shang Ning said from the side: "Brother..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw that little ball running over quickly on short legs, plunging straight into his senior brother's arms, and was picked up by Jiang Yan with a smile and placed on his lap.

Shang Ning: "..."

Seeing this situation, the servant at the side quickly glanced at the butler, and when he saw the other nodding, he backed away embarrassingly.

Jiang Yan smiled and coaxed the little baby in his arms, "What's your name?"

The little doll fluttered her big eyes and said, "An'an!"

Oh, that's Liang Zhi'an.Jiang Yan thought to himself, and asked again: "How old is An An this year?"

Liang Zhi'an said: "An'an is five years old this year!"

Jiang Yan smiled and said, "Wow, An'an is so big!"

Liang Zhi'an didn't speak, but kept staring at Jiang Yan.

Yan Xing smiled and said, "Why do you keep staring at big brother? Do you like big brother?"

Liang Zhi'an said: "I like it!"

Jiang Yan thought it was funny, he was a child, this was the first time he saw him, and he didn't give him anything to help him, how could this little baby like him?

Yan Xing on the side asked for him: "Why do you like big brother?"

Liang Zhi'an said loudly: "Because my brother is beautiful!"

Jiang Yan felt a little embarrassed.Although he has been praised by countless people for his appearance, he has long since felt nothing about such compliments.But because this was liked by a child, or a boy, he always felt a little weird.

Yan Xing laughed out loud.

Fortunately, the servant who had just left came in again at this time, bringing a plate of pastries and putting them on the table in front of him.

Jiang Yan quickly took one and stuffed it into Liang Zhi'an's small hand, watching him eat it, he let out a sigh of relief.

While eating, Liang Zhian kicked his two short legs, pulling Jiang Yan and said, "Brother eats, brother wants to eat too."

Jiang Yan had no interest in such cakes, but seeing Liang Zhian's urging, he also took one and stuffed it into his mouth, then smiled at him, "Thank you An'an, it's delicious."

Liang Zhi'an's big eyes narrowed into a smile.

Shang Ning watched for a long time, and then said: "Brother likes children very much."

Jiang Yan smiled and said: "It's okay, he looks very cute, he doesn't make much fuss, and it's quite fun." He said, pinching Liang Zhiping's short, fleshy legs, thinking about it, and then said: "You You must have been more obedient when you were the same age as him, but it's a pity that I didn't meet you. Otherwise, I would hold you every day and never let go."

Shang Ning laughed.

The three talked for a while, and Liang Zhiping came back.

When Liang Zhiping stepped into the side room, he immediately saw his third brother, the devil king, sitting obediently on his chubby lap and feeding Jiang Yan pastries.Liang Zhiping felt that this scene was unimaginable to him, and in his family only his eldest brother could frighten his third brother with a stern face occasionally.Besides, none of his third brothers will sell face.This is a good time, the devil in the world actually pretends to be a little white rabbit here in his hair.

It must be to see the face!

Thinking of this, Liang Zhiping became furious, and directly ordered the butler to take the little devil away.

Liang Zhi'an opened his mouth and was about to cry, but was comforted by Jiang Yan's stroking and coaxing.He knew that this beautiful big brother would stop crying after staying at home for a few days, so he just stretched out his short leg and kicked his second brother hard, then hugged the housekeeper and ran away.

Liang Zhiping felt even more angry.

Jiang Yan smiled and said, "Your brother is quite cute."

Liang Zhiping said: "What's so cute! There's a devil in the world, and no one in the family can control him! I think he likes you very much. You have to discipline him well in the past few days!"

Jiang Yan laughed and said, "Okay."

The four sat down again, and after Jiang Yan introduced Yan Xing and Liang Zhiping to each other, they began to ask each other about each other's recent situation.

Liang Zhiping looked at Shang Ning beside him and said, "Time flies so fast, it's been more than three years, you little junior brother has grown a lot taller."

Jiang Yan glanced at his junior brother with a smile, and said with Yourong: "Yes, after all, I raised it."

Liang Zhiping didn't bother to pay attention to his embarrassment, and asked again: "How is it? In the spring, I will be [-] years old. Have you performed the crowning ceremony? What word do you choose?"

Jiang Yan said: "What kind of crown ceremony are you doing in that big valley? But the word is taken, it's called carpe diem."

Liang Zhiping smiled and said, "Care merry? Carpe diem in time?"

Jiang Yan nodded.

Liang Zhiping smiled and said, "Okay, it suits you quite well. Jiang Xingle, it's also strangely nice to hear."

Jiang Yan said: "What about you, what word did you get?"

Liang Zhiping said, "Nianyu."

Jiang Yan raised her eyebrows: "Who are you looking for?"

Liang Zhiping didn't speak.

Jiang Yan didn't worry about this anymore, and instead asked, "Why did you go this morning?"

Liang Zhiping sighed, "Go begging for help."

Jiang Yan said in surprise: "Ask for help? What else do you need to ask for?"

Liang Zhiping said: "Maybe it didn't exist before, but now I do. I'm going to Donghai to be an official. There is a shortage of people there, and the promotion will be faster. I can return to the capital as soon as possible."

Jiang Yan didn't know anything about the officialdom, but he knew this little boy very well.With Liang Zhiping's temperament, he would still believe that he was forced to become an official.How come he begged someone to be an official?Jiang Yan recalled that he had been looking at Governor Liangjiang's mansion outside just now, and it seemed that there was no sign of dilapidation.What is going on, Liang Zhiping must become an official?

Jiang Yan said seriously, "Liang Zhiping, tell me the truth, what's going on?"

Liang Zhiping leaned back on the chair, sighed and said, "I've fallen in love with someone, and she's more difficult to marry."

Jiang Yan said: "Who?"

Liang Zhiping said, "Princess Mingyu."
