Kuai Chuan's brother is the real boss

Between the mountains and forests, two fast horses were galloping on the road. There were two people, a man and a woman. They rode very fast, but they seemed to be circling in the woods all the time.

Seeing the setting sun, Wang Xifeng stopped and dismounted, looked around, and finally fell on the person who got off the horse one step later than her, "Do you know the way to the capital? Doesn't your family do business between the capital and Jinling?" ? You’ve been through so many times, don’t you remember?”

"I said Miss, do you think I need to find my own way every time I go back to Beijing? I always work as a groom on a carriage, and this time you pulled me out. I never said I knew the way."

Chen Ling felt a little wronged, and followed her out out of good intentions, but was blamed. It's really hard to be a good person.

Wang Xifeng sighed deeply, and tied the horse to the tree, "Go find some dry branches and come back, I'll light the fire."

"Oh." It seems that this sister is planning to sleep out at night tonight, and he has never lived in the wild before.

After Wang Xifeng and Chen Ling finished lighting the fire, it was completely dark at this time, and they could only cook dry food around the fire.

"If my mother knows that I eat this kind of food outside, she will definitely cry, and ask someone to make a big table of delicious food for me." Chen Ling looked at the big pancake in his hand, which was the most common noodle pancake, what else? nothing.

"It's good to have something to eat in the wilderness. If there are so many, a big man and a little girl are squeamish. It's better to marry a more squeamish daughter-in-law than you to torture you in the future."

Wang Xifeng took a bite of the noodle pancake, it was so dry that it was hard to swallow, but she couldn't spit it out, and Chen Ling couldn't eat it after she just finished speaking, that would be too embarrassing.

Chen Ling saw Wang Xifeng chuckle like this, the laughter was full of ridicule, and successfully aroused Wang Xifeng's glaring.

Put the pancake back into the bag, "You can eat it yourself, anyway, I would rather be hungry than eat this kind of thing."

"Yes, yes, you are a noble person. How can you eat such rough things? You scholars are not tired of food, and you don't get tired of food, and you don't eat bad things. You don't eat food when you don't cook. It’s more important not to eat.”

Chen Ling also ignored Wang Xifeng's ridicule, he was not that particular about it, but he couldn't eat anything he didn't like.

"It's useless for you to say these things now. Fourth brother in the capital will thank me for sending you safely." Chen Ling said proudly. This is the first time he left his family and went to the capital on his own initiative. This is an amazing thing Son.

Wang Xifeng ate one pancake, and although she wasn't very full, she couldn't take the second one, "How many times have I told you, my brother calls your father the eldest brother, and you call my brother fourth brother is a poor generation Yes, I haven’t seen you in ordinary times when you’re reading, and you can’t remember how many times you tell the question?”

"Of course I can't remember because I didn't want to remember." Chen Ling leaned against the tree trunk, closed his eyes in front of him, and felt that Wang Xifeng didn't open his eyes after watching him for a while.

Wang Xifeng looked away at Chen Ling and looked at the stars all over the sky. Fortunately, tonight is a clear night, otherwise I don't know how to spend the night, and I don't know what the starry sky my brother saw in the capital is not the same?

Wang Xifeng is now 14 years old. When she was six years old, Jiang Yan passed the Juren examination. The next year, she won the first prize in the high school examination. Jiang Yan was 19 years old that year. Now Jiang Yan is 26 years old.

This time Wang Xifeng went to the capital to find Jiang Yan. His grandmother passed away three years ago, and his uncle took away their eldest brother, third brother, and eldest aunt. Now Jinling's family is full of second-bedroom members.

Wang Zisheng is still fond of women as always, and he doesn't care about family affairs. Li Ci only knows how to eat fast and chant Buddha, and she doesn't care much about those things. As for Wang Ren, he hasn't taken care of himself since his leg was discounted. Walking with a limp now.

It was also because of this that he rarely went out, so that at home became a place for him to vent his anger. Wang Xifeng never went to his yard, just pretending that there was no such brother.

This time Wang Xifeng was the same as when he went to Gusu with Jiang Yan for the second time. He lied about going to the temple to pay respects to the Buddha and sneaked out, but he didn’t expect to be discovered by Chen Ling when he sneaked away. Thinking that his home is in the capital, it should be Knowing the way back, I took him with me, but I didn't expect him to remember the whole way.

After resting for one night, Wang Xifeng and Chen Ling rode horses in the direction of the rising sun the next morning. As the sun rose, the capital city was to the east, so it must be true.

After riding for more than an hour, they finally saw a small town. The two decided to hire a carriage after eating and drinking enough. They didn't know the way very well, so it would be safer to ask someone to lead the way.

At the same time, Jiang Yan was invited to the Rongguo Mansion because it was a holiday and it was the birthday of his uncle Jia Zheng.

When Jia Zheng was young, he also wanted to take an official career, but because the Duke of the State asked for his life before he expired, he gave Jia Zheng a small official. Now he is a member of the Ministry of Fifth-Rank Industry.

Jiang Yan is the fourth rank, Jia Zheng is the fifth rank, and Jia Zheng is his uncle. It is a little embarrassing to say it. Fortunately, Jiang Yan is in the Ministry of Rites and Jia Zheng is in the Ministry of Industry. Apart from meeting in private, there are not many opportunities to meet and work together in political affairs. many.

On Jia Zheng's birthday, after Jiang Yan received the invitation, he naturally came to Rongguo Mansion to celebrate his birthday. In the past few years, he was an official abroad. The first year he was an official in the capital was also the first time he attended Jia Zheng's birthday in person.

He had been to Rongguo Mansion several times before, and this time he stayed in the front hall for a while, Jiang Yan offered to visit his aunt, Mrs. Wang, and Jia Zheng asked someone to take him there.

Jiang Yan really doesn't like noisy scenes with too many people. Jia's family is full of people now, and he doesn't need him to add luster. Going to Mrs. Wang's place can at least be quiet and quiet.

Not long ago, Mrs. Wang gave birth to a son named Baoyu, and Jia Baoyu was born with jade. For a while, everyone regarded this son as a good omen, and Jia Mu liked it very much. People carry her there.

When Jiang Yan arrived at Mrs. Wang's place, Yuan Chun was the only one with him, and Baoyu was taken away.

After Jiang Yan saluted, Yuan Chun saluted him, "Hello, cousin."

"You don't have to be polite, cousin."

Mrs. Wang asked Jiang Yan to sit down and asked him if he had communicated with his family recently. Speaking of Wang Zisheng's younger brother, Mrs. Wang also hated iron but steel. Jiang Yan only said that his body was not as good as before, and didn't say anything else.

"It's getting old, and there are several grandchildren, and I don't know how to be more careful. I want to make people laugh at me to death?" Does she not know what her brother is like?Since he was a child, he has been an unscrupulous person, and he will talk about everything in the house.

Jiang Yan smiled and said nothing, he has been with Wang Zisheng for so many years, of course he knows what kind of person Wang Zisheng is, and the country is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change, how could Wang Zisheng give up his hobbies for so many years just because he is old .

"You should always persuade your father to be the one, and the body is the most important thing when you get older. If you don't have a body, you won't be able to enjoy any blessings."

Jiang Yan nodded, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart. Wang Zisheng was mean and ungrateful, and he didn't have any feelings for his own son. If his son took care of him, he would definitely use his father's money to reprimand and scold him. Don't bother with that.

After talking about Wang Zisheng, Mrs. Wang talked about Jiang Yan's marriage. She is 26 years old but has no wife. Jiang Yan said the same thing as Li Ci and the others.

"Auntie knows, a master has calculated for me that it is not suitable to get married before the age of 30, otherwise it will affect the family and relatives. Besides, the second brother already has several children. It doesn't matter whether I get married or not."

Although Wang Ren was dismissed after returning home and has never married a wife, he has several concubines and several children.

I have to say that Wang Zisheng and Wang Ren are father and son, and they have the same attitude towards their children. Regardless of whether they are born or raised, Jiang Yan is not too troublesome, and has found several capable women to raise the children.

With these children as a shield, he is not afraid of being forced to marry and give birth.

Mrs. Wang said something else to Jiang Yan, and Jiang Yan was called to the front hall to have dinner, and it was already evening when she returned home.

What Jiang Yan is thinking about now is how to go outside and be an official for a few years, and then come back when everything calms down. He really doesn't want to have too much relationship with the Jia family.

But it's a bit difficult to arrange here. This kind of thing is not something that he can go out when he says he can go out. It still depends on the opportunity and can only be done step by step.

Three days later, Wang Xifeng and Chen Ling came to the capital, and Jiang Yan had just returned from court, and what he saw were the two people in the wind and dust.

"Just the two of you?"

Wang Xifeng nodded, "Yes, brother, aren't we very powerful? It only took five days from Jinling to the capital."

"It's really powerful, and my courage is getting bigger and bigger." Needless to say, Wang Xifeng will definitely not tell the truth to his family, and looked at Chen Ling, "Does Brother Chen know that you are coming to the capital?"

"My father went to Yunnan to do business, and I told my mother to go to the temple to eat vegetarian for half a month and then came out." Chen Ling laughed, this trick was learned from Wang Xifeng, but tracing back to the source, it was Jiang Yan who brought Wang Xifeng the first time. It was a lie.

"Okay, you two go wash up, and I'll send someone to prepare the meals." It was windy and dusty, and he must have not eaten well.

Wang Xifeng is not bad. I have been to many places with him in these years, and I can bear hardships. Although Chen Ling was naughty when he was a child, he was always spoiled. Mrs. Chen used the softest carriage for him. Mats will do.

This time riding a horse alone to the capital was a bit unexpected, but it wasn't too shocking. After all, when he was young, his skinny really gave Chen Shao a headache. Since he went to the private school, he has grown bigger and more obedient.

Now it can be said that what his parents said was what he never refuted. Before Jiang Yan also thought that he was so out of touch with everyone, no different from others. Now it seems that he deceived his mother and Wang Xifeng to come to the capital so easily. It can be seen He was not as obedient as he imagined.

The main purpose of Wang Xifeng's visit this time is to deliver the account book to Jiang Yan. Since Jiang Yan became an official, Wang Xifeng has gradually started to take care of the shops at home, and now she is almost in charge of them. It is operating normally.

"Brother, let me tell you, I originally planned to find a shopkeeper to send it to you, but do you know what I encountered at home?"

"Second brother bullied you again?" Jiang Yan asked without looking up at the account book.

Wang Xifeng snorted disdainfully, Wang Ren doesn't even come out of the yard now, and can't bully her, "It's not the second brother, it's mother, she wants to arrange a marriage for me, so I ran out, brother, help me Think of a way, let mother continue to concentrate on worshiping the Buddha, and leave my marriage alone."

"It's really too young for you to get married now. I'll write a letter and send it to Jinling later."

Seeing that Jiang Yan agreed so easily, Wang Xifeng smiled with satisfaction, "But brother, you have to find a better reason, preferably like you, find a monk who tells me that I should not get married before my age, mother will definitely believe it." .”

Jiang Yan raised his eyes and glanced at Wang Xifeng, "The monks don't tell lies, how could the monk lie with you."

"It's not enough for a real monk to find a fake monk. Brother, aren't you familiar with this kind of thing?" After finishing speaking, Wang Xifeng realized that she had slipped her tongue.

Jiang Yan closed the ledger, looked at her leisurely, and asked with a slight smile, "What else do you know about me?"

"I don't know anything else, this is the only thing I know, but brother, I guarantee that no one has ever said anything about it." Wang Xifeng waved her hands repeatedly, she really didn't know about other things.

He stepped forward and hugged Jiang Yan's arm, shaking and acting coquettishly, "Oh brother, just help me, I really don't want to get married so early, especially those families my mother chose for me are all wealthy families, you have the heart to let me Will you marry me and be a pissed off daughter-in-law?"

In the aristocratic family, she also has a few little sisters who get along well. The ones who are two years older than her are already married.

What kind of mother-in-law is tricky, her husband dotes on concubines, she doesn't understand human relations, etc. I didn't say it clearly, but everyone understands it, so even if she marries, she will never marry a rich family, even if it is a small family. Customers have to decide for themselves.

Don't even think about asking her husband and in-laws to be angry with her. If she hasn't been angry at home, why should she go to someone else's house to be angry and bullied? She doesn't have a cheap bone.

Jiang Yan listened to Wang Xifeng's long speech, and summed it up in one sentence - in order not to be bullied, never marry the people Li Ci is looking for.

"I can talk to my mother, but I think according to your temperament, you won't be bullied." Jiang Yan looked Wang Xifeng up and down.

The 14-year-old girl hasn't grown into an adult yet, but she already has a lot of aura. Wherever she stops, people can't ignore her. Ordinary people don't dare to provoke her, let alone bully her.

In my memory, when Wang Xifeng married into Jia's family, no one dared to bully her.
