Republic of China Designer [Transmigration Book]

After Jiang Kuan and Duan Zhengnan left, the front hall suddenly became quiet.

Xia Jinting and Song Kailin stood on both sides of the dining table, unlike Xia Jinting who was alone, Song Kailin was very lively.

Jiang Kuan's group of bad friends are all on the same side as Song Kailin.

"Song Shao, you really don't want to go with us?" Huyouyou A asked with concern.

"No, I'll stay here and wait for Ah Kuan." Song Kailin smiled gently.

Song Kailin set up an empathetic persona in Jiang Kuan's circle of friends early in the morning.Now that he stayed "without hesitation", he won the sympathy of everyone.

Harmful Friend B cast a vague glance at Xia Jinting, and defended Song Kailin, saying, "At this time, Young Master Song, you still care about Young Master Jiang all the time, but his fiancé is really heartless..."

Song Kailin hurriedly stopped and said, "Don't talk nonsense! Since Ah Kuan has made a decision, he has his reasons. We should support him. From now on, we will all be friends..."

The volume of the two people's conversations was not concealed at all, Xia Jinting could hear them clearly.

He didn't follow the routine of the white lotus, and immediately pushed back with a smile: "I am indeed a heartless one. Young Master Song cares about Young Master Jiang so much, so I will let you do it."

As soon as this remark came out, the jaws of many bad friends dropped, Song Kailin was also shocked, and forced a smile: "What did you say?"

"If you two are in love, I will divorce the Jiang family..." Xia Jinting had just finished speaking when he heard footsteps.

An old voice came from the entrance: "Who wants to divorce?!"

Xia Jinting turned around and saw an old man named Yi Longzhong walking into the room with a cane.

Song Kailin obviously recognized the person, and took the initiative to help him: "Old Master, why are you here?"

"Can I not come?" Mrs. Jiang thumped his cane loudly, "It's just a reception, what kind of trouble will one or two make!"

The elders have spoken, and it is not good to be a junior to argue.Song Kailin silently helped him to sit on the sofa. For a while, the hall was extremely quiet.

Old Mrs. Jiang drank tea, breathed a little more smoothly, and then ordered: "Sit down."

Everyone sat down one by one, although it was still the same hall, the atmosphere at this time was very different from the reception, and everyone was very reserved.

After a cup of tea, Jiang Kuan's bad friends couldn't sit still, one by one stood up to say goodbye as if two catties of nails had grown under their buttocks.

Old Mr. Jiang didn't keep anyone, he only focused on drinking tea in a muffled voice.

Xia Jinting didn't want to get too involved with the Jiang family, and was about to leave, but the old man Jiang who had been silent all this time suddenly said: "Are you a child of the Xia family?"

Xia Jinting stood calmly, and nodded neither humble nor overbearing.

Old Mr. Jiang's eyes flicked around Xia Jinting's body, he could probably see the origin of his clothes, and said in a deep voice, "I've heard about today's incident, anyway, Ah Kuan is ignorant and wronged you."

As he spoke, he raised his crutches and tapped hard: "Master, come back, let him come to see me!"

Not long after, the servant brought Jiang Kuan over.

Jiang Kuan lowered his head and said nothing. It seemed that the conversation with Duan Zhengnan had collapsed.

Mrs. Jiang glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "Kneel down!"

Jiang Kuan was astonished.

"I'll let you kneel down!" Mrs. Jiang stood up tremblingly.

Seeing that the old man got angry, Jiang Kuan didn't dare to disobey, so he could only kneel down.

Old Mr. Jiang took a deep breath, and said word by word: "Please—home—fa!"

Jiang Kuan trembled all over. Seeing the black nanmu board being invited up, his knees gave way and he almost couldn't kneel.

He looked at Song Kailin as if asking for help, but the latter nestled in his seat, avoiding his gaze.

"Grandpa!" Jiang Kuan became anxious, and raised his hand to grab the old man's clothes, but he heard the old man say, "You made three mistakes in today's matter."

The old man Jiang held up the nanmu board and gasped, "First, I didn't teach Jinting the rules in advance, and I lost face to the Jiang family."

The moment the voice fell, the board also fell.Jiang Kuan's spine shrank, and he couldn't help crying out in pain.

Xia Jinting frowned slightly at Jiang Kuan's hateful eyes.

"Secondly, you were not cautious enough and neglected the distinguished guests. If Mr. Duan gets angry, Jiang Ji will be in trouble!" The old lady Jiang did not give Jiang Kuan time to breathe, and the boards followed one after another.

In the hall, there was only the dull sound of the board being hit. Jiang Kuan has always been a dignified person. He has never suffered such a hardship. After only two hits, his body swayed to and fro, and he seemed to be unable to support himself.

"Third—" The old voice sounded again, "You don't know people well, then Wang Qingyun is the daughter of the county magistrate, and the magistrate Wang is Jiang Ji's regular customer, how could you offend him."

When the nanmu board was lifted up, the old butler who had served Jiang's family for many years looked at the dying Jiang Kuan, and couldn't stand it any longer.

He stood in front of Jiang Kuan and pleaded: "Master, please forgive the young master this time. He is still young and doesn't know the importance of things. This board is thick and heavy, be careful not to break it."

Because of the old housekeeper's pleading, the third board did not fall on Jiang Kuan.

The old man Jiang had a seizure, and his physical strength seemed to have been exhausted. He looked at Jiang Kuan with hatred, sighed, and was supported by his servants to rest.

As soon as the old man left, Song Kailin immediately stood up.

He squatted down, with an expression of wanting to check Jiang Kuan's injury but couldn't bear it, and finally his eyes were red, and he called out in a crying voice: "Quick, carry the young master down."

Comparing the two, Song Kailin is more like the master than Xia Jinting, the official fiancé, and he doesn't treat himself as an outsider at all.

Xia Jinting looked at everything in front of him indifferently, as if he was forced to watch a big show.

It's just that the content of this scene was really aggrieved, until Xia Jinting left Jiang's house, he could still hear the sound of the board hitting his flesh.

This is the first time that Xia Jinting experienced the pressure brought by clan etiquette in the feudal era since he started writing.

From the point of view of modern education, Xia Jinting has always believed that people are independent individuals, and Mrs. Jiang's behavior of moving out of the family law at every turn, making him feel very uncomfortable.

The old man accused Jiang Kuan of committing "three mistakes" today, and he also used Jiang Kuan to beat Xia Jinting by teaching him a lesson.

To say that Jiang Kuan did not teach Xia Jinting the rules in advance is to reprimand Xia Jinting for not knowing the rules; to say that Jiang Kuan neglected Duan Zhengnan is to accuse Xia Jinting of dirtying Duan Zhengnan's clothes with that fall; to say that Jiang Kuan does not know people clearly is to blame Xia Jinting The words were meaningless, and they collided with Wang Qingyun.

I'm afraid that Xia Jinting exposed Jiang Ji's silk adulteration and offended the county magistrate Wang, and Mrs. Jiang also knew about it.These incidents are not so much a lesson to Jiang Kuan, but the old man Jiang is setting rules for him, an unmarried husband and wife.

Really painstaking, but Xia Jinting never intended to be an obedient husband and wife. Old Mrs. Jiang's painstaking efforts were destined to be in vain.

------------------

In the master's room of Jiang's family, the old housekeeper said solemnly, "Master, Xia Jinting has left..."

Mrs. Jiang had just had tea, and was resting on the recliner at the moment. Hearing this, he opened his eyelids: "Thanks to you for cooperating with me in singing this oboe today, Ah Kuan has been spoiled by me since he was a child. You can give me some later." the wound medicine."

Seeing the old housekeeper's hesitant expression, Mrs. Jiang said lightly, "Speak up if you have something to say."

The old housekeeper murmured: "Let me say something, this Xia Jinting is not very close to the young master. But Song Kailin, who is so busy, cares about the young master very much."

Old Mr. Jiang stretched his waist, slowly propped himself up, and smiled inexplicably: "You don't understand, what you want is this intimacy."

The old butler habitually waited on the old man to wash and wash. He was usually very good at trying to figure out what his master was thinking, but this time he really couldn't figure it out. He wondered, "Why?"

"It's not that I really want Ah Kuan to fall in love with a man and his wife. If he holds her at the top of his heart, what excuse do I have to put women in his room?"

In an instant, the old housekeeper Mao Sai suddenly realized, and he thought about it: "I see, the young master seems to have hated Xia Jinting today. The young man is very angry, so don't make any lawsuits. I heard that Xia Jinting is still clamoring to divorce .”

"Tch." The old man Jiang sneered, "He was talking out of anger. The situation of the Xia family, I wish I could send him to the door as soon as possible, so why would I let him withdraw the engagement. I know the child's temper, and he can't swallow it. Don't worry, you won't be able to turn the sky over."

Only now did the old housekeeper know that Mrs. Jiang had already calculated everything.

Xia Jinting and Song Kailin are nothing but ignorant youngsters in front of Mrs. Jiang.

The old housekeeper was convinced, he carefully hammered the back of the old master Jiang, and suddenly thought of something: "Then Song Kailin is still in the young master's room, do you want me to find an excuse to send him away."

Old Mr. Jiang half-closed his eyes and waved his hands: "No need, just let them stay. The more Ah Kuan likes Song Kailin, the more he dislikes Xia Jinting. Only in this way... will there be a chance for the girl's family..."

Song Kailin was completely unaware of Old Master Jiang's schemes, and at the moment he was quietly administering medicine for Jiang Kuan.

"Hey, hey... Take it easy... It hurts!" Jiang Kuan howled like a pig being killed.

Song Kailin was disgusted in his heart, but there was a gentle smile on his face: "You just have to bear with it, just rub the bruise away."

Jiang Kuan lost his mind from the pain, and regardless of who was sitting in front of him, he opened his mouth and said, "I blame you, if it weren't for your bad idea of ​​pouring red wine on Xia Jinting, there wouldn't be so many troubles! "

A trace of hostility flashed across Song Kailin's face, and he used more force in his hands.

"It hurts, it hurts! Take it easy!" Jiang Kuan originally closed his eyes, but now he opened them due to the pain, but he didn't expect to see Song Kailin with red-rimmed eyes when he opened his eyes.

In an instant, Jiang Kuan came back rationally, only to remember that the one sitting in front of him was Bai Yueguang, whom he couldn't ask for, so he quickly softened his voice and coaxed: "Why are you still crying?"

"You're right. It's all my fault. I was anxious to vent my anger on you, but I didn't think carefully for a while, which caused you to be hurt. I..."

Before Song Kailin finished speaking, his hands were tightly held.

Hearing that Bai Yueguang cared about him so much, Jiang Kuan's steel-cast iron heart turned into soft fingers. He was unwilling to let Song Kailin be wronged, so he pushed all the blame on Xia Jinting.

"I don't blame you for this matter, it's all Xia Jinting's fault. He borrowed some suits in a good manner, which caused a lot of misunderstandings. Grandpa actually beat me because of him!" Jiang Kuan became more and more reasonable as he said.

Song Kailin lowered his head and said in a low voice, "You really don't blame me?"

Jiang Kuan laughed, touched the wound, grinned his teeth in pain, and at the same time, he still didn't forget to curse Xia Jinting, "It's all the fault of the disaster star of the Xia family, what has nothing to do with you..."

Song Kailin turned his face away just right, no one saw him, the smile on his lips belonged to the "winner".
