Kuai Chuan's brother is the real boss

"Come here, the third master told me to come to this restaurant? Why doesn't he come?"

At noon, Fu Ling followed Jiang Yan's usual servant to a restaurant, but after waiting for a quarter of an hour, he didn't see Jiang Yan's figure. What did he want to do when he asked her to come here but didn't show up?

"The third master ordered that the wife must come to this restaurant before noon, and the third master must arrive soon." The boy replied.

Fu Ling raised his head and looked at the time. After ten years here, if there is one thing he has learned the best, it is to read the time. Now he can tell what time it is just by looking at it.

There was still a quarter of an hour before noon, so I simply waited.

Just when Fu Ling was about to ask the waiter to bring some food, a sound came from downstairs, which caught her attention.

"I'm going to Jinling today, Brother Wu, please treat us kindly."

"That's natural. When you come to Jinling, you should do your best to be a landlord. You can drink to your heart's content after a while. The wine in this restaurant is a must."

"Brother Wu has said so, I will have to taste it later to see what kind of wine can make Brother Wu praise so much."

A group of people marched into the restaurant, and their voices disappeared, but Fu Ling knew that the person who was called 'Brother Wu' just now was the original owner's former husband, Wu Meng.

It seems that this is why Jiang Yan asked her to come here before noon. Wu Meng has a lot of friends and is extremely good-looking. He was already poor before the exam, but he still wants to be in front of those cronies. To save face, I always insist on inviting friends when they go to Jinling.

Just like just now, Fu Ling was sure that he couldn't bring out anything other than the decent clothes, but he still insisted on going into such a restaurant and insisting on asking for the host.

In my memory, Wu Meng did this many times after getting married. Every time, the original owner sent someone to take the money. If it is useful, he will definitely divorce his wife directly.

Fu Ling felt incredible that such a person could pass the exam. He remembered that in the articles he had learned in school, many people had studied hard for ten years, and even at the age of five or sixty, they still hadn't passed the exam.

Because passing the exam means that you can be an official, even if you can't enter the temple, you can still be a small local official, so it is very difficult. In Fu Ling's view, Wumeng's exam is a blind cat meeting a dead mouse up.

"Ma'am, the third master is here." Yue Xin looked out the window and said that Jiang Yanruo had entered the restaurant.

Fu Ling came back to his senses, "Go let the guy serve the food."

Because she got up late, she wasn't hungry yet, but Jiang Yan went out early, so she must have been hungry by this time.

After Fu Ling gave the order, she began to think about how to take revenge on Wu Meng. She is just a woman in a deep house and has no contact with Wu Meng.

Moreover, in his memory, Wu Meng even went to Qinglou Chu Pavilion, and raised a Qinglou woman as an outside room. Those friends around him thought it was normal, so it can be seen that it is not very noble for him to be among those friends. People, in this way, Wumeng will not be ruined except for murder and arson.

During Fu Ling's brainstorm, Jiang Yan had already come to the private room. Seeing that Fu Ling was contemplating, she must have seen Wu Meng just now. He didn't expect such a coincidence that he heard the word "Wu Meng" on the street. Mon' the name.

After hearing that Wu Meng was coming to this restaurant, he immediately asked someone to invite Fu Ling over. Now that he had already arrived in Jinling and saw Wu Meng, the revenge plan should begin.

"You go out first, don't come in unless you are told." Jiang Yan told Yue Xin.

Yue Xin looked at Jiang Yan, then at Fu Ling who was in a trance, and retreated.

Fu Ling has been thinking about her own affairs, but she knew that Jiang Yan came in. She has the memory of the original owner being bullied by the Wu family's mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and sister-in-law, and the memory of Wu Meng humiliating her in every possible way after the Fu family fell into trouble. .

Originally, these memories were not clear after ten years, but at the moment Wumeng's voice sounded, all of them flooded into her mind inexplicably.

Take two deep breaths to calm the turmoil in her heart. Fortunately, she is not the original owner. She feels angry about those memories but doesn't really empathize with them. Otherwise, she must be suffocated to death now.

So she didn't care about those negative emotions, and just focused on getting revenge and going back.

"Thank you for bringing me here and letting me meet Wumeng." Fu Ling said to Jiang Yan who was eating leisurely.

"Don't worry, have you figured out how to take revenge on him? Do you need my help?" Jiang Yan raised his eyes and asked with a smile.

Fu Ling shook her head. This is her own business, and she will take care of it herself. If she even needs others to help her revenge, then she would be too sorry for the original owner, and she would occupy the original owner's body in vain.

She said no, Jiang Yan didn't say much, and ate on his own. I have to say that this restaurant is still good, with quite local characteristics.

I have been thinking about Wumeng all the time, seeing Jiang Yan remembering that he threw the quilt on the beam last night, and asked tentatively, "Can you tell me why you threw the quilt on the beam?"

"Because you can't get it if you throw it on the beam."

Jiang Yan replied in this way, Fu Ling was even more puzzled, she really threw the quilt on the beam and she couldn't get it off, "Why can't I get it?"

"Because it's very hot, you insist on covering me with a quilt. What if I throw it on the ground and you pick it up and cover me again? So you can only throw it to a place where you can't get it."

Fu Ling was completely shocked by Jiang Yan's brain circuit. It was because he didn't want to cover the quilt at night in summer, so he threw the quilt on the beam. In theory, it was possible, but it wasn't necessary. If you don't want to cover it, just say no?

"It's better for you to throw a quilt to save trouble than to say a word, that's what it means."

Following Jiang Yan's brain circuit, Fu Ling came to this conclusion, but Jiang Yan nodded, proving that her guess was right. It seems that she really can't use ordinary people's thinking to think about his behavior.

A person who doesn't care about fame and fortune at all, a person who resigned from an official to the fourth rank at the age of 23 must have different thoughts from ordinary people like them, yes, that's how it is.

Fu Ling thought so, and suddenly Jiang Yan pointed to a painting on the wall, ""Picture of Song and Crane Celebrating Birthday"? What's wrong?"

According to her ten years of research on the works in Fu's family, this pair of works is not very exquisite, it even looks a little rough, and the brushstrokes are not very good. The market value should not exceed one tael of silver. The meaning of this painting is very good.

"Go and take down the painting."

Fu Ling didn't know why, but he did it anyway, went to take down the painting hanging on the wall, and then saw the small hole in the wall, and what came from the small hole was Wumeng and Wumeng over there. The scene of his friends drinking and having fun together.

Putting your eyes closer, you can get an overview of the whole room. It can be said that this location is well chosen, "Why is there a hole here?"

Looking at the appearance of the walls around the hole, it is obvious that it is not a hole just dug out, it must have existed for a long time, so is it possible to see each other in the restaurant?

Fu Ling hurriedly hung up the painting again. She had no interest in what those people in Wumeng were talking about. It would be bad if she was found out, "Then how do you know there is a hole in it to see through?"

"Because this restaurant belongs to the Jia family."

The reason was simple and to the point, Fu Ling understood it instantly and didn't need to ask any more.

On this day, Fu Ling successfully saw the embarrassing scene where Wu Meng had to write down the IOU because he had no money for food.

But she also knew that this restaurant would soon be replaced by this restaurant to curry favor with Wumeng. Autumn was approaching, and Qiu Wei was going to have an exam. It was during this year's Qiu Wei that Wu Meng passed the Juren exam.

Becoming a juren master is naturally the target of everyone's fawning. Before becoming a juren, he did very few things like today, only a few times, but after becoming a juren, he did it almost every day.

And because he is a Juren, most restaurants and restaurants will allow him to pay on credit. After he gets married to the original owner, all the accounts will be settled by the original owner, and he will continue to be his rich man.

Jiang Yan didn't know how Fu Ling was planning to deal with Wu Meng. It was all Fu Ling's business, and he was just providing her with a platform.

After offering sacrifices to the ancestors, Jia Min didn't stay long because she missed Lin Jin at home. Jiang Yan happened to escort her back to Gusu with nothing to do. She set off in the morning and arrived in the evening.

After arriving home, Jia Min couldn't wait to hug Lin Jin. It had been five days since she left home, and she really missed her very much.

"Brother, do you like children? You always took me to play with you when you were young. You also like children very much."

"Playing together when I was young has nothing to do with liking children when I grow up." He didn't mind having children, but he and Fu Ling were fake couples at all, so why bother to do everything to have children.

Jia Min didn't argue with Jiang Yan, "I like children very much, but I have never been pregnant because of my poor health. There is only one child, Jin'er. It would be great if I gave him another brother and sister."

Jiang Yan looked at the jade hairpin on Jia Min's head. It was the twin lotus that she had given Lin Ruhai when she married Lin Ruhai. It hasn't worn down in the past few years, but the quality of the jade has become more and more transparent.

When he came back this time, he secretly checked Jia Min's pulse. Everything was normal and there was no problem at all, and the lack of pregnancy must have verified his previous speculation that Lin Ruhai's fertility was problematic.

"Brother, what are you thinking?" Jia Min saw Jiang Yan yelled in a daze, "But I'm tired from the journey, I'll ask someone to prepare dinner for you, and sleep well after eating."

As soon as they got married, they rushed from the capital to Gusu, and then went to Jinling to worship their ancestors. They never had time to relax. Jia Min thought that Jiang Yan must be tired, so he asked someone to prepare the meal immediately, and started the meal without waiting for Lin Ruhai to come back. I was relieved when I saw Jiang Yan entered the yard.

"When Jin'er grows up, he must be like his uncle. He is proficient in everything from literature to martial arts. Only when he has real skills can he not be controlled by others, and only then can he really break out of the world."

Jia Min took Lin Jin's hand and walked into her small yard, and said to Lin Jin as she walked, although she also knew that Lin Jin was still too young to even be enlightened, let alone any literary and military strategies up.

Lin Jin held his mother in one hand and held his toy in the other, and listened to his mother's teachings in a daze, but whether he could remember these words after he grew up was something he could control, maybe he was going back to himself I don't remember where I lived.

When Lin Ruhai came back in the evening, the husband and wife were newlyweds. Since they got married, they hadn't seen each other for several days in the past few years. No matter how busy Lin Ruhai was, he would never go home for more than three days. Separated for the first time.

After the tenderness, Jia Min nestled in Lin Ruhai's arms, and said thoughtfully: "I feel that my knowledge is still too little, and I am suspicious of little things. Do you think I am like a frog at the bottom of a well, sir?"

"Ma'am, don't talk nonsense. Regardless of the affairs of the house or the shops outside, you manage them in an orderly manner. If you are a frog at the bottom of the well, what will those people become?" Lin Ruhai still admires Jia Min's housekeeping skills.

In the past, his mother was in poor health and couldn't be overworked. His grandmother had always been in charge of the family affairs. After his grandmother passed away, his father was always responsible for the big and small things, but there were times when he couldn't take care of them. At that time, the Lin family had grandparents. Bless, it didn't cause a big mess.

His father and mother passed away suddenly, and he started to get in touch with those things, and he felt more profound in them. Even if he is smart enough to handle everyone and everything, he must be careful enough, and it happens that Jia Min has both.

Hearing her husband's praise, Jia Min was very happy. Everyone wants to be recognized for their efforts, and she is no exception.

"But I really feel that the relationship between brother and sister-in-law is not like an ordinary couple. In the past few days, I have never seen the two of them have a deep affection, and I have never even looked at each other."

Jia Min talked about what she saw, and when she thought about it carefully, she really didn't find any. Normally, even if a newlywed couple is not so close in front of outsiders, they don't have a single look at each other, and she feels that The two of them didn't talk like husband and wife, but like buddies working together.

"Why do you have such an idea? Maybe my uncle has been in the military camp all year round, so he doesn't get used to getting along with women?"

Lin Ruhai said that he didn't believe it. In his opinion, Jiang Yan is a rough but fine person. As long as he is willing to work hard, he can take care of everyone's emotions. If he doesn't, it can only show that this person is not worth it. He is careful.

"It's impossible for my brother not to get along with women. He has been able to take care of me since I was a child. Although my sister is different from my wife, what you said is definitely wrong."

Jia Min thought about it again, but still couldn't come up with a reason.

Even if she broke her head, she would never have guessed that Jiang Yan and Fu Ling were fake couples at all. King Xiang Wuxin, Goddess Wuxin, how could they have the greasy energy of a real newlyweds.

So this kind of result is inevitable, and it makes people doubt their way of getting along, but fortunately, they won't really let people find out that they are fake couples, and no one will know except for each other.

Even if you can see that they don't get along like newlyweds, they will only doubt their own problems, just like Jia Min now, suspecting that he is a frog in a well, and he has not seen many newlyweds, so he feels that Jiang Yan and Fu Ling It's different.

As for the marriage between Jiang Yan and Fu Ling, in fact, the two of them thought about the same thing, how long they could live, and how long they could live, taking one step at a time, this situation is beneficial to both parties.

The difference is that for Jiang Yan, he may act for a lifetime, but for Fu Ling, he must leave before Jia's house is ransacked, and he must not be imprisoned and killed because of Jia's house being ransacked.

Jiang Yan stayed in Gusu for a few days before leaving for Jinling. During the process, he had someone send a letter back to Jinling, informing Jia's mother of his plan to live in Jinling. He also went with a letter from Jia Min to his mother. It is estimated that Jia When my mother watched it, there was one sorrow and one joy, and the sorrow and joy intertwined.

It is true that Jia's mother was very happy to see her daughter's letter. The mother and daughter hadn't seen each other for several years, so they could only rely on letters to relieve their missing. However, Jia's mother was very puzzled about Jiang Yan's permanent residence in Jinling.

Is there anything bad about being in Beijing?There are thousands of favors at the feet of the emperor, is there anything unsatisfactory?

"Mother, don't worry, maybe the third brother doesn't like the atmosphere of the capital, so he came back after living in Jinling for a year or two." Seeing that Jia's mother was frowning, Jia Zheng quickly comforted her.

Completely ignoring Jia She's staring eyes at him, relying on his mother's doting, these few years he has become more and more ignorant of respecting his elder brother.

"Second brother is right. Mother, don't worry. Why don't I send someone to Jinling tomorrow to persuade the third brother to come back. After all, our whole family is here, so it's not unreasonable to always be in Jinling."

Jia She said with a smile, he is not yet 40 years old, but his face is already covered with wrinkles, his eye sockets are a little sunken, and there are bruises under his eyes. You don't need to look carefully to know that it is caused by his recent indulgence.

Mother Jia saw that he didn't know how to cherish her body when he was too old, and a feeling of hatred for iron and steel came to her heart, but at such an age, she couldn't reprimand him like a child.

"Okay, okay, hurry up and arrange for someone to go to Jinling to have a look. If it's good, I'll live in Jinling for a long time. Go and ask if you're hungry. If you really don't want to come back, then see if there is anything he lacks, and I will buy it go up."

Mother Jia ordered that Jia Amnesty go out and ask someone to do it. The youngest son is the old lady's darling, and the second son is very happy to be courteous all year round.

Faced with Jiang Yan's plan to stay in Jinling for a long time, Jia's mother wanted him to come back but knew she couldn't force it. When he insisted on going to the military camp, even her husband couldn't resist, so she had to let him go, let alone her. Woolen cloth.

She is the youngest among several sons, but she has the biggest idea. She can do whatever she wants, and she can do it when she makes up her mind. No matter how others try to stop her, it doesn't work. As a mother, she is very helpless.

But when she thought of Jia Min, Jia's mother also felt that it would be good for Jiang Yan to stay in Jinling. The siblings are close, so they can take care of them.

Jia Min is her youngest daughter. The previous daughters were all married at the age of sixteen or seventeen. Min'er stayed here, and she has the deepest relationship with her, but she is also the last one to see after getting married.

Regarding Jiang Yan's stay in Jinling, different people have different ideas. What Jia Mu and Jia Min thought was that Jiang Yan could be closer to Gusu, so that the siblings could take care of them.

But Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng had another idea. Jiang Yan was already higher than Jia Zheng when he reached the fourth rank by virtue of his military merits. Although less important, it is much more important.

Jiang Yan was more than ten years older than them, and if he continued to serve as an official in the court, he would definitely be promoted if he led troops to fight, and it was also possible to be knighted, so the two of them were relieved that Jiang Yan resigned.

Since childhood, Jia Amnesty thought that her mother liked the younger brother, and the second brother who liked the sweet talk would please her, but he didn't like him, so he thought that the two younger brothers were very scheming. In his opinion, it was also because of Jia Zheng's sweet mouth.

And Jiang Yan has also become a scheming person in Jia She's eyes. This time he resigned because he couldn't bear the hardships in the military camp. He went to Jinling to enjoy the glory and wealth while making friends with other families and managing contacts for himself.

Jia Zheng didn't imagine the two younger brothers too darkly like Jia She, and in his opinion, Jiang Yan's purpose in staying in Jinling must not be simple, but he and Jiang Yan have no interests after all, so he didn't make too many speculations and let them go. Jiang Yan developed freely in Jinling.

Jiang Yan naturally doesn't know what these two "good brothers" are thinking. Of course, even if he knows, he won't care. What they think has nothing to do with him. Since he returned to Jinling from Gusu, his goal is to make money. A lot of money.

In the past, the Jia family had some shops in Jinling, and now it is just time for him to display his talents. No matter how much he will help the Jia family in the future, having a lot of money can solve many problems. After all, if you have money, you can talk about everything. Without money Everything you say is nonsense.

It's just that Jiang Yan didn't expect that he happened to come to a jewelry store that day and let him see Fu Ling, and Fu Ling was still dressed in men's clothing, with a 20-year-old woman beside him.

Next to the woman was a little maid holding a piano, and Fu Ling was holding a golden hairpin in her hair when she saw Jiang Yan's hand stopped in the air.

"The third master is here, do you have any orders?" At this time, the shopkeeper saw Jiang Yan coming, and asked from behind the counter.

"It's okay, just take a look around, you don't need to greet me if you are busy." Jiang Yan waved his hand casually and said, he stopped looking at Fu Ling, and began to look around the business in the shop solemnly.

Seeing that Jiang Yan looked away, Fu Ling put down his hands in embarrassment, and then quickly sent the woman to the carriage. He was going to send her back, but now he lost that interest and returned to the shop again. Jiang Yan was drinking tea in a serious manner.
