Kuai Chuan's brother is the real boss

Jiang Yan is Jia's mother's youngest son, and she liked him the most in the past, but Jiang Yan went to the military camp after he was 16 years old. He went there for several years, and came back several times in the middle, but he never stayed long.

Then he resigned from office and came back to get married. After getting married, he went to Jinling a few days later. He stayed there for half a year before returning. Mother Jia missed his son very much, so Jiang Yan was by Mother Jia's side during the days when he just came back. accompany.

Mother Jia loves her son dearly, so naturally she wants to give him the best, covering everything from food, clothing, housing, and transportation, even seeing that he is accompanied by servants when he comes back this time, and even sent the servant girl who served her to his yard to serve her.

The meaning of a mother sending a maid to her son's room is already obvious, and Jiang Yan sternly refused several times before giving up.

Jiang Yan left the mansion early that day, and came to a very hidden restaurant in the capital. The restaurant is hidden in the city. There are hundreds of restaurants like this in the entire capital, so it is not eye-catching at all.

"Third Master, we are waiting inside." When he came to a private room, the servant at the door said.

Jiang Yan nodded and pushed the door in. Waiting for him in the private room was a young man in his 20s. The man was tall and tall. Although he was not conspicuous in coarse linen clothes, he had a detached nobility.

"I have seen His Royal Highness Chen Wang." Jiang Yan saluted.

Chen Wang Sheng Ling turned around and said, "You don't need to be too polite, just sit down."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Jiang Yan took a seat at the table, and Sheng Ling walked over to sit down, "I know you're back in Beijing, so I came here to ask you to meet, so I didn't disturb your reunion with your family."

"No, I've been with my mother for a few days, so it's okay to come out for a while." Jiang Yan said.

Sheng Ling nodded, "Then I will make a long story short. Since I met you last time, I have heard some of what you said. I think what you said makes sense, but the father is still alive. To covet the throne is to behead him." Big crime, do you know?"

"Of course I know it. It's just that there are many princes in the sage. Can your highness guarantee that they don't have the intention of coveting the throne? Since they have them, everything your highness has is naturally nothing."

Jiang Yan said to himself, regardless of Sheng Ling's gloomy face, he and Sheng Ling met for the first time in the barracks. Some people knew that he would prepare in advance, so that he could not see the real strength of the military camp.

But he never thought that it was because of sneaking a look that he met bandits Jiedao on the road. At that time, Jiang Yan led the people there, wiped out the bandits and rescued their group.

Afterwards, he was rewarded for his merits, and Sheng Ling met Jiang Yan alone again. He had seen Jiang Yan's determination and bravery in the face of bandits with his own eyes, and felt that Jiang Yan was a man who could be made, so he thought of wooing him.

At that time, Jiang Yan also did as he wished, and expressed his utter loyalty to him and his willingness to follow, but he did not expect that within a few days, he received the news of Jiang Yan's resignation.

Before Jiang Yan got married, he asked Jiang Yan for questioning. What Jiang Yan said at the time was: "Even if he is a great general, he is still a great general of the Holy Majesty, but Jia Yan is a man who looks after His Royal Highness. In one word."

"Half a year ago, after you said that you were sent by the king, the king asked you if you really didn't care about the glory and wealth? It's better to be a great general, but it's better than following the king in secret. Now the king asks you again, and you answer carefully. .”

Sheng Ling took the time to look at Jiang Yan, waiting for Jiang Yan's answer. He is one of the many adult princes of the Holy Majesty. He is neither a heir nor an elder, and he is not the one with the most outstanding abilities. The Majesty is now in his prime, why did Jiang Yan choose him?

He believed that if Jiang Yan continued to fight on the battlefield, he would definitely become a great general with his ability. At that time, it would be his brothers who took the pole to win Jiang Yan over, instead of Jiang Yan taking the initiative to surrender as he is now.

Why did Jiang Yan choose Shengling?

Of course it is because Sheng Ling will be the next emperor. This is like knowing the lottery number that will win the jackpot tomorrow, and you have to rush to buy it today. Sheng Ling will become the next emperor. When the heart has no power to seize the throne, it's time to stand in line.

"I think my actions can prove to His Highness. If I resign and go home, I have already cut off my way to continue to fight in the battlefield. If I don't choose Your Highness, I will become a complete idler."

Sheng Ling raised his eyebrows, Jiang Yan's answer was somewhat unexpected, "Then since you have resigned now, what can you do to help me?"

"Money and martial arts, Your Highness has seen my martial arts. I have been doing business in Jinling for the past six months. Presumably, although Your Highness is a prince, there are times when you need money to do various things."

Sheng Ling's eyes narrowed slightly, and his dark pupils made it difficult to see what he was thinking, as if he was thinking about Jiang Yan's words, "Then you follow me and don't value fame and fortune, what do you want from me? "

Sheng Ling lived in the imperial palace since he was a child, so he didn't think there were free banquets in this world. If Jiang Yan was a person who cared about fame and fortune, he would not resign, but let him order, what else could he want besides fame and fortune?

"I don't know if His Highness has heard of it. All big families are rotten from the inside. I just want to find another way."

Sheng Ling narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew that there would be a lot of dirty things in the big family, not to mention the big family, even in the palace. He has seen it countless times.

Those concubines who appeared to be gentle and kind on the surface may have a face behind them, and it must be the same in the big family.

"You want to support this king, and then continue to maintain the glory of Rongguo Duke's Mansion?" It is impossible for someone who doesn't care about fame and fortune not to care about his family. Sheng Ling felt that he had found Jiang Yan's purpose to join him.

But then Jiang Yan shook his head and denied, "For those who can't be supported, I maintain the superficial glory, which is too tiring and troublesome. I just want to save the lives of a few people I care about when the building is about to collapse. Forget it, as for the others, it depends on their own fate."

"You can see it." This is indeed in line with Jiang Yan's temperament of indifference to fame and fortune. Originally, when the Rongguo Mansion really came to the collapse of the building, relying on his own ability to resist is tantamount to shaking a tree. Now I think so It really makes you relax a lot.

What Jiang Yan said was the truth, and there was nothing to hide. Before he entered the barracks, he also wanted to find a bargaining chip. He originally thought that he would have more rights in his hands, but then he would have more things to do.

It was an accident to meet Sheng Ling, but it was more in line with his previous plan. At least he didn't have to worry that one day he would be afraid of himself because of the military power in his hands, but he couldn't keep the people he cared about. put on fire.

That's what Jiang Yan didn't want to see, so when Sheng Ling threw out an olive branch to him, he quickly grabbed it, and then resigned, which led to the current situation.

Through today's conversation, Jiang Yan and Sheng Ling had reached a preliminary consensus, and the first thing Jiang Yan had to do was to train a group of people after returning to Jinling.

"There are ten people in total. You will take them away when you return to Jinling this time. After half a year, I want them to have [-]% of your abilities. This should not be difficult for you."

Jiang Yan nodded, he didn't show all his martial arts in front of Sheng Ling, what Sheng Ling saw was only the level he had practiced after entering the barracks, half a year was a bit shorter, but it shouldn't matter if he strengthened his training by [-]% Down.

Sheng Ling was very satisfied that Jiang Yan didn't ask him why he trained people. It is true that he lived in the palace since he was a child, and his intrigues never stopped.

Without thinking about it, he knew that those were all done by his brothers. It was a fluke to be able to escape in the past, but he didn't want to be lucky anymore. He wanted those who attacked him to be treated the same, so the martial arts of the people around him were strong. necessary.

Jiang Yan let him use his martial arts to be strong, but he couldn't follow him at all times, so it was true to let him train a group of people to use them.

After finishing the order, Sheng Ling got up and left, and went back to choose the person who would go to Jinling with Jiang Yan, and he had to be a trusted confidant.

If it is a person who is likely to betray at any time, keeping a strong martial arts by his side is like putting a long sword on the top of his head, which may fall at any time.

Jiang Yan didn't leave in a hurry, but had a leisurely meal before going back. He felt that the porridge in the restaurant was good, soft and sweet, and Mother Jia would like it, so he asked the cook to make an extra bowl to take away.

Back home just after dinner, Mother Jia drank a bowl of porridge, and her son was still thinking about what she would like to eat when he went out for a banquet. This kind of filial piety was stronger than any delicious food.

"I heard that the restaurant you went to is a bit remote, who invited you?"

"It was a brother who used to be in the military camp. He invited me when he knew I was back. That man's family was a little poorer, so he didn't hold a banquet in the big restaurant." Jiang Yan lied casually.

Jia Mu nodded and said: "Since the family is poor, you should think about returning the banquet in the future, so don't let him suffer."

"I know my mother. I will go and invite her back in a few days. I will definitely not let her suffer."

Seeing that Jiang Yan understood all these things, Jia's mother said no more, "Your second sister-in-law is already full moon, and I heard that Brother Zhu's health has improved a lot, hurry up and hug me to show me, and you can also Let's take a look at the little nephew."

"The children's bones grow stronger and stronger, so mother can rest assured this time."

It has been several days since Jiang Yan came back, but because Jia Zhu is too weak, it is winter and he can’t come out to see the wind, and it’s not easy for him to go into his sister-in-law’s house, so he has never seen Jia Zhu, and he doesn’t know his physical condition. how.

If it's just that his body is weak, he still has a way to rectify it. Jia Zheng has such a talented son alive, so he doesn't need to pin all his hopes on Baoyu in the future. The Jia family may not be too miserable in the future.

After breakfast the next day, Jiang Yan met Jia Zhu at Mother Jia's place. He was a full-month-old child with not much flesh on his body, and looked a little weak.

"Jade, hurry up and get the longevity lock I prepared for Brother Zhu, and I will put it on Zhuer myself." Seeing that her grandson liked it very much, Jia Mu hurriedly greeted her.

The maid went to get the longevity lock, and Jiang Yan saw Jia Mu put a small longevity lock made of pure gold on Jia Zhu's neck, "Look, it's just the right size."

Seeing Jiang Yan staring at the longevity lock, he said with a smile: "I like it, when you have a child in the future, I will give him the same one. I ordered people to build several longevity locks early in the morning. Well, Miner's was sent three years ago, and so are your other sisters, but it's our own child, so I only sent this one."

Mother Jia was rambling on, there was only one purpose, and that was to have children, and to have children, to have children, or to have children, in the eyes of the old matriarch of the big family, there was nothing that made her happier than the prosperity of her children and grandchildren.

"Come on, hug brother Zhu too, and see how close uncle and nephew are." Mother Jia sent Jia Zhu to Jiang Yan's arms, and praised Jiang Yan again and again when she saw Jiang Yan holding the child.

Jiang Yan responded with a smile, but all his attention was on Jia Zhu's pulse. The pulse of a child was very weak, and he had to touch it carefully to feel it. Such a young child is not suitable for medicine.

The medicine is three-point poisonous, and it is not good to develop yourself into a medicine jar, so Jiang Yan followed the method he used to treat Lin Ruhai and Jia Min before, injecting a weak spiritual power into the longevity lock on his body. A formation is formed to exorcise evil spirits and protect the body.

This longevity lock is too small for adults to wear, but it can be worn by children until they are three years old. Please check the situation with your body first.

After doing all this, Jiang Yan put Jia Zhu into the nurse's arms.

"Brother Zhu is asleep. It seems that he likes the third master very much. Because the medicine is too bitter, Brother Zhu has not been able to sleep well these days." Seeing that Jia Zhu was sleeping soundly, the nurse said to Jia's mother.

Mother Jia was even happier when she heard that, "Uncle and nephew are blood relatives, so they are naturally close. Since they are asleep, they should be taken to the back room to sleep, and then sent back to the second room when they wake up, so as not to be blown by the wind, which is not good."

It is a blessing for the servants like them to serve the children that the nurses obey orders, and the children do not cry or make trouble. If the children cry and get sick, the master will subconsciously think that it is caused by their inattentive service.

Because it was winter, Jiamu's yard was not close to Mrs. Wang's yard, and with the recent snowfall, Jiamu only saw Jia Zhu today, and her grandmother's heart rose instantly.

Now seeing Jia Zhu falling asleep in Jiang Yan's arms, thinking that Jiang Yan and the child must be destined, he thought for a while and said: "If you are in a hurry to go back, don't wait for Zhu Ge'er for a hundred days, go back earlier. Your daughter-in-law shouldn’t encounter any difficulties in Jinling alone, it’s strange that there is no one to help her.”

Jiang Yan couldn't help but look sideways when he heard Jia Mu's words. He had been back for so many days, and this was the first time Jia Mu had brought Fu Ling ahead of time.

After returning home three days after getting married, they went to Jinling. Mother Jia and Fu Ling didn't have much contact with each other, let alone the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Fu Ling had never been mentioned before, but now she is so considerate of her suddenly. Jiang Yan went back and had a baby quickly.

"It's okay, there are housekeepers and servants at home, and nothing will happen. Since they are all back, they must attend Brother Zhu's [-]-day banquet before going back."

Mother Jia also wanted Jiang Yan to stay in the capital for more time in her heart, and she also knew that giving birth to a child did not happen overnight. After getting married for more than half a year, she was not pregnant, and the days to come would still be long, so she didn't care about these few month.

Time flies by, and the new year comes in a blink of an eye. After the three-year filial piety period of Jia Daishan's death, the eldest grandson was born again. Rongguo Mansion is very lively this year, and the whole mansion has a harmonious and lively atmosphere.

This atmosphere was maintained until the fifteenth day. After the first lunar month, Rongguo Mansion held Jia Zhu’s Hundred Days Banquet. Children’s days were naturally not as lively as during the Chinese New Year, but they were the eldest grandson of Rongguo Mansion, so they met each other. It's more lively than other houses.

Jiang Yan set off for Jinling after attending the Hundred Days Banquet, and took away ten people from Sheng Ling with him. It could be seen that these ten people were carefully selected by Sheng Ling, and each of them had hard muscles, but look It doesn't look bulky.

This kind of unobtrusive people who have mastered martial arts can hide better and protect them in secret, which is much better than those burly and strong men.

After arriving in Jinling, Jiang Yan arranged them in another courtyard. Martial arts practice requires a special venue, which is not suitable in the mansion, and what he does can't let others know.

The servants would not ask about the master's affairs, and Fu Ling was not interested in knowing what Jiang Yan was doing, so he asked a little about his going to Fu's house.

"My second uncle's family, but those brothers didn't say anything to you."

When Fu Ling asked, seeing Jiang Yan smiling but not saying a word, he knew that there must be something wrong, and chuckled, "It's easy to change the nature of the country, and you don't know how to restrain yourself after suffering a loss. Sooner or later, Amen will suffer a big loss."

Jiang Yan went to Fu's house on the second day after returning to the capital. Naturally, he met Fu Ling's second uncle and several brothers from the second uncle's family. The same is true for the second uncle. It can be seen that he was pampered and grew up. He is domineering in the Fu family, and there is nothing he can't do.

But once this kind of person leaves the Fu family, he will run into obstacles everywhere. In order to avoid this situation, the second uncle of the Fu family simply doesn't go out, and stays at home, letting his wife and children take care of him.

His son imitated everything, and he also learned the same appearance. After several contacts, if he hadn't met them at Fu's house, Jiang Yan would never have believed it. It's not like a child of a scholarly family.

The old lady of the Fu family doted on her younger son, so it was naturally Fu Ling's father who was wronged everywhere. He was taught to respect the old and love the young, and to be courteous to his younger brother, which made Fu Ling's second uncle even more unscrupulous.

"Originally, it was only my father who was courteous to my second uncle, and then we became relatives, and our family was courteous to my second uncle's family. Since I was a child, my mother has suffered so much from my grandmother for no reason, and I have seen it all. of."

And because of this, Fu Ling knew that it was easy and difficult to stop the second uncle from writing the poem that had violated the literary prison. Indiscriminate protection.

Fu Ling was happy to finish complaining to Jiang Yan, and he could only take one step at a time when it came to the literary inquisition. At worst, he could find the poems before they were discovered and destroy them. At that time, there would be no evidence, and everything would naturally be destroyed. It was solved easily.

"Look at the account books for the past few months to see if there is anything wrong. The profit has been sent to another hospital as you said before, and half to the Lin family in Gusu. Min'er wrote back and said that he would keep it safe." , let us rest assured."

Fu Ling brought the general account of the past few months to Jiang Yan, and she took care of the account for him. Naturally, she had to calculate the account clearly to ensure that everything was correct.

Jiang Yan flipped through a few pages and didn't look at them again. The figures gave him a headache, as long as there was a profit, the money sent to other hospitals was for Sheng Ling, and the money sent to the Lin family was his future reserves.

When I met Sheng Ling in Weiwei, but if Sheng Ling also played the trick of "cooking rabbits and running dogs", he also had to prepare for his own future, and he had to keep a back road at all times.

Fu Ling suddenly remembered something. Jiang Yan went back to Jia Zhu's [-]-day banquet this time. Jia's mother should urge him to have a baby quickly, "We two must not have children. Have you ever thought about where to adopt one?" In your name."

"Let's talk about it, don't worry." How could other people be willing to let them raise their children? Besides, raising a child would take a lot of effort. He didn't have much interest in raising a child by himself.

Fu Ling saw that Jiang Yan was not in a hurry, so why should the emperor not be in a hurry and the eunuchs were in a hurry, so she simply didn't think about it. She was in Jinling, and she couldn't go back to the capital once a year.

In the next six months, Jiang Yan lived and ate in the other courtyard almost all the time, training those ten people, and they all knew what they were doing with Jiang Yan, and they studied very seriously.

Jiang Yan didn't know where Sheng Ling found these people, they all seemed to be very loyal to him, they were very serious about learning martial arts, and they were serious about everyone.

Such a person has practiced martial arts well, and he is like a murderer, person, machine, and machine without emotion. Even so, Jiang Yan still tries his best to teach it.

There is no distinction between good and bad martial arts. Martial arts are evil if the hearts of those who use them are broken. Conversely, if the best martial arts are not used by others, then martial arts is good. Good and evil are only a matter of thought.

The good and evil of these martial arts practitioners is not up to him, and what they do after learning martial arts has nothing to do with him, as long as he makes sure that he and the people he cares about are not in danger.

Half a year later, these people returned to the capital, and Jiang Yan went with them, but this time they went secretly, and only saw Sheng Ling, but the people in Rongguo Mansion didn't know.

It only took half a month to go back and forth, and he came and went in a hurry. Except for Fu Ling and Sheng Ling, no one knew that he went to the capital in just half a month.
