Spring wasted

In the evening, Jiang Kuang drove from the city to the suburbs of the city.

This is not Yunwu Mountain, but another stretch of mountains in the outskirts that is much larger than Yunwu Mountain. In the common name of the locals, it is called Banshan, and a large number of rich people in the city live in the waist of Banshan. Denghong City complied with it more than 30 years ago. After the economic reform, a new generation of urban upstarts emerged.

The well-known Jiangfan Group founder Jiang Rugu's Jiang's mansion is located here.

Jiang's business is now based on the most cutting-edge telecommunications and electronic products, but at the beginning of the company's birth, Jiang's money was completely "old money", but this foundational property was not brought by Jiang Rugu.

Jiang Rugu himself was not born in a wealthy family. His family was poor. He only had an eye-catching appearance. The children of poor people joined the army early. He tried his best to climb up, but he only climbed up to the secretary of a certain general surnamed Lin. The only role of the bottom-level miscellaneous secretary in the regiment is to be able to enter and leave the general's mansion at any time.

Later, Lin Baoshan, the youngest daughter of the Lin family, fell in love with this handsome little secretary, and the two made a lifelong engagement early on. Moreover, this youngest daughter was not born by General Lin, but was adopted, so the general did not express any concern for their marriage. Doing more obstacles, on the contrary, gives the young couple a lot of support in all aspects.

After going through various social changes, the Lin family fell apart, but the daughter who left early was not implicated. On the contrary, after the historical storm, the only remaining money and contacts of the Lin family fell into her hands, becoming Jiang is still the original capital for starting a business.

Later, the story moved to the other end strangely. Lin Baoshan started the marriage with absolute love and money connections, but she couldn't keep herself in control of the marriage. Rich and powerful men respected him, but couldn't To stick to one end, Lin Baoshan, after experiencing Jiang Ruyu publicly having a second wife and a child, received the sad news that her only son Jiang Lingshao died in a car accident.

Jiang Kuang drove along the private road in the middle of the mountain for more than ten minutes. The intelligent sensor gate of Jiang's mansion opened slowly before the car arrived. After driving for a few minutes on the boulevard, he parked the car on the side of the mansion. on the parking space.

The housekeeper came to greet him, Jiang Kuang glanced when he got off the car, but he didn't see the car of the second room and the three children, presumably no one had arrived yet.

The housekeeper called him: "Young master, you are the first to arrive today."

Jiang Kuang nodded, and asked while walking towards the mansion, "Are the master and wife here?"

"They're all there. The master is in the study on the third floor, and the wife is in the Buddhist hall on the first floor."

This mansion used to be lively and lively, Lin Baoshan, Jiang Rugu, and their son Jiang Lingshao all lived here, now Lin Baoshan is the only one left, Jiang Rugu lives here in name, but not often.

Jiang Kuang nodded to the butler, motioning him to go to other things, so he didn't need to greet him specially. The butler smiled and thanked him and then walked away.

Jiang Kuang went straight to the corner on the first floor, walked through a curved corridor, and arrived at the entrance of the Buddhist hall.

The Buddhist hall was lit with soft lamps, and an uncle in a black suit was guarding the door. Jiang Kuang nodded slightly to him, "Uncle Chuan."

The man named Uncle Chuan looked to be in his 50s and was very stylish. Although he was not young, he seemed to be a very powerful and difficult type. He nodded to Jiang Kuang, and stretched out his hand into the Buddhist hall to make a gesture. "Please" gesture: "Madam is waiting for you."

Jiang Kuang took off his shoes and walked into the Buddhist hall wearing only socks. There was no sound at all in the inner room. There were a few clusters of candles in front of the golden Buddha statue enshrined in the middle, and an old lady was kneeling on the futon in front. He closed his eyes and silently recited Buddhist scriptures, holding a string of long spinning beads in his hand.

As Jiang Kuang walked in, the candle was swayed by the flowing air, and there was a very slight crackling sound. The woman in front of the Buddha statue opened her eyes and turned her head slightly.

Jiang Kuang also knelt down in front of the Buddha statue, bowed according to the etiquette, and then stretched out his hand to help Lin Baoshan up.

After kneeling for a long time, Lin Baoshan wobbled when she walked. Jiang Kuang quickly stabilized her, knelt down and reached out to rub her knees. Lin Baoshan patted his shoulder lightly: "It's okay, I can walk."

The two walked slowly to the side of the Buddhist hall by the window and sat down on the low Japanese-style seats. Jiang Kuang helped the person to sit down, and then sat on the opposite side by himself.

The two looked at each other calmly. Although Lin Baoshan was not a famous beauty when she was young, but because she grew up in the general's mansion, she had a neat and heroic air. Now she has become an old woman, and she also has an unconventional demeanor.

Especially the sharp lip line, which was extremely serious when not speaking, Jiang Kuang unconsciously pursed his lips.

Uncle Chuan came in from the outside, brought a pot of tea, and then turned around to go out. Jiang Kuang poured out a cup of tea first, and brought it to Lin Baoshan with both hands: "Mom, drink tea."

Lin Baoshan took the teacup, but put it lightly on the table, and said calmly: "There are no outsiders here, if you feel reluctant, you don't have to call me mother, you can call me wife as usual."

But Jiang Kuang smiled at her: "I don't force it, I am willing to call her that way." When he first returned to Jiang's house, he had called his eldest wife for a long time, but he changed his name only after he was adopted under Lin Baoshan's name.

Lin Baoshan looked at him for a while, showing a very faint smile, which was fleeting.

Jiang Kuang was in a daze. Lin Baoshan looked very solemn when he had no expression on his face, exuding an inviolable aura all over his body, but only a very light smile can destroy this aura, revealing the compassion and kindness in his temperament .

I don't know if it's because he has practiced Buddhism for a long time. The characteristics of the Buddha's compassion and thunder are also divided into Lin Baoshan. Jiang Kuang never dared to underestimate this old woman.

Lin Baoshan finally drank tea, Jiang Kuang continued, and heard Lin Baoshan say: "I and your mother have finally met, no matter what, I won't make it difficult for you. Now we need each other and are equal. You don't have to feel the need to curry favor with me." .”

Jiang Kuang raised his head and looked into Lin Baoshan's eyes. He knew what Lin Baoshan meant, but he said: "Everything I do is out of sincere gratitude. My mother mentioned you in her last words, saying that you are a trustworthy person. , I think she also foresaw the current situation, so she found me a shelter in this big family that I can rely on in advance, in fact, Mom, I know very well that it is not you who need me, but I need you. "

After a moment of silence, the sky outside has already darkened. Tonight is a family banquet called by Jiang Rugu, and the second wife and children from the outer room will also come. Under normal circumstances, Jiang Rugu would not do such a thing, let his two wives gather together , but tonight is different.

Few outsiders know that Jiang Rugu has had an illegitimate child for many years. Except for a few parties, only the eldest wife Lin Baoshan knows about it, but she has not revealed a word to the outside world, nor has she expressed any likes and dislikes.

The second room and the three children only found out about it three years ago when Jiang Rugu wanted to bring the illegitimate son home. The Jiang family has a big business, and the illegitimate child's journey home will not be smooth. The second room's wife, Zhou Tong, made the most trouble. However, Jiang Ruyuan put this illegitimate son in the company of Jiang Linghui, the eldest son of the second house, and trained him for several years, and made him completely obey Jiang Linghui's orders in work. After Lin Baoshan, he proposed to claim him under his own name as an adopted son. He gained his status and eliminated the possibility of property disputes, which allowed him to return to the Jiang family smoothly.

Jiang Kuang drank tea with Lin Baoshan in the Buddhist hall, and Lin Baoshan asked him, "You said you want to start your own company, how are you preparing?"

"It's almost there. There is a movie that should start shooting as soon as possible."

Lin Baoshan is not an ordinary ignorant old woman. Although she is old and does not seem to care about world affairs, she is familiar with the work and operation of contemporary society. She nodded: "If you need someone, I can recommend one to you. After Ah Shao passed away, the company was taken over by Erfang's son and daughter, and he left."

"Okay, thank you mom, what's his name?" Jiang Kuang asked.

"Tang Zhao, I will ask Chen Chuan to give you the contact information in a while. You should mention my name when you contact him. Even if he doesn't come to your company, he will do his best to help you." Lin Baoshan added another sentence with unclear intentions. : "He is also a reliable person, and you have the same goal."

Jiang Kuang thanked him again and again, but paused and said: "I am already a part of the Jiang family, and it is my goal to make the company and family better."

Lin Baoshan looked at him calmly for a while, and then said: "You go up, your father is in the study, go talk to him, those people will come over after a while."

"Those people" refers to the second wife and children, Jiang Kuang nodded: "Okay, then I'll go up first."

The author says:

In order to avoid misunderstandings for some readers, let me explain that the "big wife and second wife" in the book are not products of the Republic of China. The second wife and the third wife are all mistresses of rich people. This is not difficult to understand, right?Modern society is also everywhere, but some are hidden, and some are directly disclosed.

As for the ages of the characters in the book, they are roughly as follows: Jiang Kuang is 26, his biological mother Li Si is 46 (deceased)

Jiang Rugu is about 70, Lin Baoshan is 68, and the eldest son Jiang Lingshao is 46 (deceased)

Second child Jiang Linghui 38, Jiang Lingyan 35, Jiang Lingwei 33, second wife Zhou Tong 60

The older generation's children were born early because of historical reasons, Li Sisheng Jiang Kuang early, I will explain it later (it doesn't matter too much)
