Chapter 265: The Righteous Son (II)
In the box, there is a tiger talisman carved from topaz.
The tiger talisman is like a tiger descending from the mountain, lifelike, and the momentum is extremely extraordinary, giving people a very domineering feeling, especially the eyes of the tiger, which makes people have a kind of contempt for the common people.
The tiger talisman is divided into two halves, and on it is an inscription carved with the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing.
"The talisman of the armor soldier, the right is in the emperor, and the left is in the east monarch."
In ancient times, this tiger talisman was a symbol of military power, a symbol of status, half in the hands of the emperor and half in the hands of the generals.
In this era, there is no such concept as a tiger talisman for a long time, but with the identity of Old Man Kong, I am afraid there is no more suitable gift than this.
Stretching out his hand, Kong Lao carefully and resolutely took out the tiger talisman from the box and placed it flat in the wide palm, it can be seen from his excited eyes that he definitely likes this gift very much.
"Lao Kong, are you satisfied with this gift?" Liu Lao asked with a smile on the side.
However, between speaking, Liu Lao's eyes were looking at Jiang Xu, obviously, Liu Lao had already guessed that this gift must have been prepared by Jiang Xu, but it was just given out in the name of Jiang Qiming.
"Satisfied, this gift is so satisfying to me, hahaha."
Kong Lao didn't intend to hide anything at all, as he said, he was really satisfied with this gift, at least in his eyes, the preciousness of this gift must be far more than Liu Lao's jade tea set.
"It's good if Kong Lao likes it."
Jiang Qiming was also relieved, although he knew that Kong Lao would not ask too much for gifts, but if he could give a gift that made Kong Lao happy, it would naturally be better.
Jiang Xu was smiling on the side and said nothing, in fact, he had already prepared this gift for his father. It's just a matter of the timing of the delivery.
Kong Lao admired the tiger talisman in his hand for a while, and then carefully put the tiger talisman back into the box again.
"Cheng Lin, help me put it away first."
After handing the box containing the tiger talisman to Kong Chenglin, Kong Lao suddenly said to Old Man Liu: "Old Liu, there is one thing that you should remember. On the night of the victory over those long-haired troops, I told Changguan that if he has a daughter in the future, he will marry my Kong's son, and if he gives birth to a son, then marry my Kong's daughter. If I don't have a daughter, I will recognize the son of the long crown as a righteous son, right? ”
Liu Lao recalled it carefully, and then said with a smile: "That's right, if you don't mention this matter, I almost forgot about it." ”
Kong Lao continued: "Although the long crown has left us. But this agreement still has to continue, here today, it will be up to you to testify, I have no daughter, and Qiming has also become a family, so it is up to me to recognize Qiming as a righteous son. ”
"This ......"
Jiang Qiming was completely dumbfounded. He didn't expect things to turn out like this.
Kong Lao, one of the two giants of the Chinese military, the invincible god of war in China, actually wants to recognize him as a righteous son, what a glory this is, Jiang Qiming has never thought about it at all, and he is even willing to dare not imagine it.
Jiang Xu's eyes flashed with a hint of discoloration, and his gaze looked at Kong Lao, obviously a little more grateful.
Whether Kong Lao's words are true or false, others may not know. But Jiang Xu and Old Man Liu are very clear.
When Old Man Liu cooperated, Jiang Xu could clearly feel the change in Old Man Liu's mood, that instantaneous heartbeat and expression, even if Old Man Liu covered it up well, he still couldn't escape Jiang Xu's capture.
He knows. I'm afraid that what Kong Lao said may not be true.
But this doesn't really matter, as long as Kong Lao says it, as long as Liu Lao cooperates, it will be true.
Jiang Xu understood why Kong Lao did this, not only because of his brother with the long crown, but also because he supported himself and his father.
Kong Lao accepted his father as his righteous son, which is equivalent to giving his father a strong enough back, and also giving himself a strong enough back, which allows his relationship with Liu Zhining to be recognized by more people in the Liu family.
Maybe Old Man Liu doesn't have anything, and Liu Lingqing doesn't have anything, but those important members of the Liu family may not have other ideas.
After all, not everyone knows that Jiang Xu has a life-saving grace for Old Man Liu, and more people will only think that Jiang Xu and Jiang Qiming are through Liu Zhining and climbed to the high branch of the Liu family.
Kong Lao didn't say this, but Jiang Xu was clear in his heart, and Kong Lao's heart made Jiang Xu not grateful.
At this time, Kong Lao's eyes had already fallen on Jiang Qiming's body, looking at Jiang Qiming, who was obviously a little heartfelt, Kong Lao smiled and said: "Qiming, are you willing to recognize me as a father-in-law?" ”
"I ......"
Jiang Qiming didn't know how to answer, he knew that Kong Lao had already spoken, so he definitely had no way to refuse, but he didn't dare to accept it, after all, this relationship was too extraordinary.
Kong Lao glared at Jiang Qiming with some dissatisfaction, and said: "If you are willing, you are willing, if you are not willing, you are unwilling, manly husband, don't be such a mother-in-law." ”
"I ...... I do. ”
Jiang Qiming could only respond like this, because Kong Lao didn't give him a chance to refuse at all.
"Then you two husbands and wives, why don't you come over and give me tea soon." Kong Lao glared again.
Jiang Qiming was clever, and hurriedly stood up with Qing Shu, poured tea, walked in front of Kong Lao in a proper manner, and said respectfully: "Father-in-law, please drink tea." ”
"Okay, that's what it sounds like."
Kong Lao was immediately very happy, and after taking the two cups of tea, he drank them all one cup at a time.
After putting down the teacup, Kong Lao did not let Jiang Qiming end there, but pointed to the two sons beside him and said, "This is Cheng Xuan, you have to call the third brother, and Cheng Lin, you have to call the fourth brother." ”
Under the introduction of Kong Lao, Jiang Qiming and his wife continued to offer tea to Kong Chengxuan and Kong Chenglin, and shouted the third and fourth brothers in a proper manner.
For the father's newly recognized righteous son in front of him, Kong Chengxuan and Kong Chenglin undoubtedly expressed great enthusiasm, and Kong Chengxuan even gave Qing Shu a pocket watch. As a greeting gift.
"Jiang Xu, it's your turn."
And after waiting for Jiang Qiming and his wife to salute it again, Old Man Kong's eyes were already directly locked on Jiang Xu's body, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
Jiang Xu naturally means Kong Lao. He gave tea and said, "Old man, please drink tea." ”
"Good."
Kong Lao nodded with great satisfaction, and looked at Jiang Xu's eyes, which obviously had a little more smile.
Jiang Xu continued to serve tea, one was the third uncle. One is the fourth uncle, Jiang Xu naturally can't be left behind.
Kong Chenglin and Kong Chengxuan also had a smile on their faces, and their eyes seemed to see Jiang Xu as their own son.
In other words, I'm afraid that no one can refuse to be a relative of a great divine doctor like Jiang Xu who has unparalleled medical skills, let alone a relative. The two brothers Kong Chengxuan themselves also appreciate Jiang Xu very, very much.
If it weren't for the relationship between Jiang Xu and Liu Zhining, I'm afraid Kong Chengxuan would be thinking about whether to introduce his daughter to Jiang Xu, but now it seems that this is completely unnecessary.
On the side, Kong Baiying was a little stunned.
The change in this relationship is too fast, and in a blink of an eye, she and Jiang Xu have become a family.
Jiang Xu naturally couldn't forget about Kong Baiying. continued to serve tea, and said with a smile: "Sister Ying, you also drink tea." ”
"Thank you."
It took Kong Baiying a full three seconds before she reacted.
I don't know why, her pretty face suddenly turned red, obviously, for Jiang Xu, the new younger brother, she still can't adapt to it immediately, especially the relationship between the two.
After all, before this, Kong Baiying regarded Jiang Xu as a benefactor.
After Jiang Xu finished the tea. Kong Lao said directly to Jiang Qiming: "Qiming, you will go back to Zizhu Mountain with me tomorrow, remember, from now on, the Confucian family compound in Zizhu Mountain will be your second home." You know? ”
"Yes, father-in-law."
Jiang Qiming originally planned to go back tomorrow, but now it seems that he is probably going to stay in Yanjing for two more days-
Near noon, the important members of the Liu family came to Lingyunzhuang one by one.
The identities of these important members are extraordinary, ranging from the first or second leaders of important departments in Yanjing to local giants like Liu Zhenfeng and Xu Shengrong.
And these important members represent the middle-level strength of the Liu family, and their arrival was personally received by Liu Lingqing.
Jiang Xu accompanied Kong Lao and them to Yunlan Pavilion, Jiang Qiming also accompanied Kong Lao to play several games of chess, and Jiang Xu took advantage of his free time to give Kong Lao and Kong Chengxuan a recovery treatment.
Although the relationship is different, Jiang Xu's treatment does not need to change anything, because his original treatment is the best plan.
In the afternoon, not only all the important members of the Liu family had already come to Lingyun Mountain, but even Xu Shengrong had come from the Beijing Office.
When the sky was getting dark, the banquet finally officially began, because they were all their own people, so the banquet was only set up with less than five tables, especially the fifth table, which was almost equivalent to being prepared for young people like Jiang Xu.
At the fifth table, sitting were Jiang Xu, Liu Zhining, Kong Baiying, Liu Linghua's son Liu Zhuoyuan and others, in addition, there was the most surprising Liu Kaicheng.
Liu Kaicheng originally thought that it was basically impossible to have his seat at this banquet, but what he didn't expect was that Liu Lingqing actually asked people to call him over from the dormitory of the internal police and put him at Jiang Xu's table.
In this regard, Liu Kaicheng's heart was naturally ecstatic.
How could he not know what this meant, if it was replaced by him before, he would definitely not be qualified, let alone sitting here, I am afraid that he would not even be qualified to enter Lingyun Village.
And now, his change has obviously been recognized by Liu Lingqing and the Liu family.
This feeling of recognition made Liu Kaicheng so excited that he almost burst into tears, and it also made him more determined to change.
In the middle of the banquet, Jiang Xu was called over by Kong Lao, as well as Jiang Qiming and his wife, Kong Lao personally led the three of them. Toasted to the important members of the Liu family in the audience and made a formal introduction.
This is also what Kong Lao meant, at this banquet, the identities represented by Jiang Qiming and Jiang Xu are the Kong family.
In this regard, Mr. Liu naturally will not have any opinions.
Kong Lao's meaning is very simple. That is to let Jiang Xu appear as the Kong family first, pave the way for Jiang Xu's identity, and then talk about Jiang Xu and Liu Zhining's marriage, and in this way, those important members of the Liu family will naturally be able to accept Jiang Xu more easily.
And Kong Lao's arrangement is also very effective.
After all, these are important members of the Liu family. Basically, it was the first time to meet and know Jiang Qiming and Jiang Xu, and after having this relationship with the Kong family, everyone was also very polite to Jiang Qiming and Jiang Xu.
As for Jiang Qiming's current position, it was directly ignored.
However, not everyone is the first time to see Jiang Qiming and Jiang Xu, there are two exceptions, these two people are naturally Xu Shengrong and Liu Zhenfeng.
When Kong Lao introduced the relationship between Jiang Qiming and Jiang Xu. The expressions of Xu Shengrong and Liu Zhenfeng can almost be described as shocked.
Especially Xu Shengrong, he didn't expect Jiang Xu to have such an identity.
Kong Lao's godgrandson, even if he looks at the whole Yanjing, he can definitely be called the top princeling, even if he Xu Shengrong, I am afraid he will have to give some face.
And Liu Zhenfeng knows. More than Xu Shengrong.
Because Jiang Xu in addition to the identity of Kong Laogan's grandson, Jiang Xu will also become Liu Lingqing's son-in-law, each of these two identities can be described as noble and extraordinary, and these two are linked together, which is unimaginably noble.
This is equivalent to means that behind Jiang Xu are the two major backers of the Liu family and the Kong family.
These two backers, one is the largest family in China, and the other is one of the two most powerful military leaders in the military. I'm afraid that even Su Chongshan of the Su family is a little inferior.
Thinking of this, Liu Zhenfeng can already have a hunch that Jiang Xu's future may exceed everyone's imagination.
And when the banquet was about to end, Liu Lingqing used a simple arrangement. directly showed everyone the relationship between Jiang Xu and Liu Zhining.
Liu Lingqing asked Jiang Xu and Liu Zhining to toast Old Man Liu together, and this had already been arranged.
Basically, all the important members of the Liu family present will naturally understand what it means after seeing this scene.
Xu Shengrong also understood, basically, he didn't know what to say.
Although he had long known that Jiang Xu was not a simple young man, Jiang Xu had made him underestimate again and again, and it was not until this moment that Xu Shengrong understood what Jiang Xu's true identity was in the Liu family.
Liu Lingqing's son-in-law, just by virtue of this identity, it is enough to explain it.
Thinking of this, Xu Shengrong felt a little pity in his heart, originally he thought that his daughter might walk with Jiang Xu, but now it seems that this opportunity is not much.
Although Xu Xinyan is very good in all aspects, there is still a slight gap between her and Liu Zhining.
And the biggest gap among them is probably identity-
After the banquet ended, the important members of the Liu family left one after another, and even Xu Shengrong and Liu Zhenfeng left Lingyun Mountain.
In a wing room in the inner courtyard of Lingyunzhuang, Old Man Liu, Liu Linghua's family, Liu Lingqing's family, Jiang Qiming's family, and Kong Lao's family sat together around the sofa.
According to the original arrangement, Kong Lao would also leave at this time.
But now, Kong Lao chose to stay.
Because the next thing is to talk about the marriage between Jiang Xu and Liu Zhining, Kong Lao's meaning is very simple, he is Jiang Qiming's father-in-law, Jiang Xu wants to call him grandpa or old man, how can he not be present on such an important occasion.
Liu Zhining sat with Jiang Xu with a red face, but there was more of a happy smile on her face.
"Qiming, let's first book the relationship between Jiang Xu and Zhining, as for the marriage, let's talk about it in a few years, what do you think."
Liu Lingqing spoke, and before that, he only expressed the relationship between Jiang Xu and Liu Zhining to the important members of the Liu family, but at this moment, it was time to really decide.
Jiang Qiming nodded and responded: "As long as Jiang Xu and Zhining agree, it's fine, I don't have any opinion." ”
Liu Lingqing looked directly at Jiang Xu and asked, "Jiang Xu, Zhining, what do you two mean?" ”
"We don't have any opinions either."
Jiang Xu replied, Liu Zhining didn't speak, but the meaning was already obvious.
"Then let's decide so, let's give the family matter first."
Everyone had no opinion, so Liu Lingqing directly gave this family affair and discussed the engagement with Jiang Qiming and his wife.
Regarding the matter of engagement, there is basically no matter of Jiang Xu and Liu Zhining.
This is completely the arrangement of the parents of both parties, as the parents of the woman, most of the decisions in this regard are made by Liu Lingqing.
However, it is also very simple, with the status of the Liu family, naturally there will be no requirements.
And even if it is mentioned, with Jiang Xu's current net worth, there is basically nothing that cannot be done.
Therefore, the marriage between Jiang Xu and Liu Zhining was almost directly decided under the condition of smooth sailing-
The second update is sent, and today's 10,000-word update is completed, and tomorrow Xiao Leng has some things, try to get more more.
