Chapter 446: Lifting a Rock and Shooting Yourself in the Foot
As the old saying goes, it really makes sense, the so-called, "If you are not a family, you will not enter a family".
I remember that when he was still in Shanning Village, Shu Jin still felt that Chai Yanping was an outlier in the Chai family, because the Chai family also had a bit of humanity in Chai Yanping, at least, he had helped him block a lot of difficulties for the Ye family. However, the road knows the horsepower and sees the hearts of the people over time.
So far, it seems that this Chai Yanping is not as kind as he imagined.
He is the only one in the Chai family who did not fall into trouble for Jiang Duanyu when he was disabled, and he was the one who had the best relationship with Jiang Duanyu among the brothers, but when the Ye family treated him harshly and almost abused Jiang Duanyu, he showed most of his helplessness and obedience.
They all thought that this was Chai Yanping's foolishness, but when Jiang Duanyu sent Ye and Chai Xiong to prison, Chai Yanping never pleaded or blamed Jiang Duanyu, and at that time he seemed to have forgotten filial piety, and the rest was helpless to obey.
Jiang Duanyu and Shu Jin wanted to move out of the Chai family, but he seemed to block it, but in one sentence he defined the conditions for staying in the Chai family as asking Jiang Duanyu to apologize to Ye's Chai Xiong. At that time, in fact, anyone could see that Jiang Duanyu would never bow his head again.
At that time, they still thought he was a bastard, a stupid.
After that, no matter whether Chai Xiong's family was looking for trouble with Jiang Duanyu Shujin or wanted to get some advantage from them, Chai Yanping didn't participate, they thought it was his kindness......
But this time, Chai Yanping came to Changdu, and he seemed to be very helpless and forced. However, it was such a coincidence that Chai Yantai knew about Jiang Duanyu's past boat run at this time, and used this as a threat.
Chai Yanping was too honest in the past. So although there are many contradictions in his behavior, Shu Jin and Jiang Duanyu have not delved into it, but this time. They suddenly discovered that this honest man who was a bun in their eyes, a stupid, and a foolish and filial person, had found the most suitable time and the most suitable person to bring out Jiang Duanyu's past!
Although, such a thing is actually no threat to today's Jiang Duanyu. But, as Chai Yantai said, in their opinion. Such a past will definitely make Jiang Duanyu punished and even lose his position. So choosing to expose such a thing at this time shows the depth of his thoughts.
Chai Xiong is hypocritical and greedy, and Ye's Chai Millet is greedy and vicious. Chai Yantai was brazen. And Chai Yanping is the wolf in sheep's clothing! He's the one who hides himself the deepest. And his selfishness and indifference are hidden under the appearance of kindness, and others can't tell the difference. His scheming is simply beyond the reach of everyone in the Chai family, and besides, such a person pretends to be an honest person!
Don't say that Chai Yantai knew that Jiang Duanyu's past was just a coincidence. Who is Chai Yantai, Shu Jin, don't they know yet? If he had known about it, he would have used it to blackmail Jiang Duanyu a long time ago. What will you wait until now?
Shu Jin walked all the way and looked at Jiang Duanyu's somewhat gloomy face. I knew he must be in a bad mood. The Chai family is really a bit ghostly, and they always pop out when Jiang Duanyu has a few days of comfortable life, disgusting him. However, there was nothing to say to comfort him at this time, so he had to calm himself down.
Perhaps, it should really be like Xiao Yu said, just solve them all!
Shu Jin was thinking about destroying the Chai family, when suddenly Jiang Duanyu beside him spoke:
"Chai Yantai mentioned just now, the girl in Huayue Tower is called Yingyue? Could it be the one we've seen? Jiang Duanyu's voice sounded, unexpectedly calm.
Shu Jin was stunned for a moment, glanced at him, and then said:
"Well, I think, it's probably a person. After all, it is unlikely that he deliberately has something to do with Chai Yantai, and the name happens to be the same. What's more, what can Chai Yantai do, they approached Chai Yantai, but in the end, it was just to deal with you. ”
Shu Jin had a new understanding of Jiang Duanyu's big nerves, it turned out that when she was still thinking that Jiang Duanyu would be a little sad because of the Chai family, Jiang Duanyu had already begun to think about "getting down to business".
Noticing Shu Jin's eyes, as if he instantly understood what she didn't ask, Jiang Duanyu smiled and said:
"Don't worry about me," he said, "I had expectations for the Chai family in the past, but I have long since died." For me, how they will not affect my future life at all, besides, I have now found a real family, the past, the past, what is not to see. ”
Saying that, he stretched out his hand to Shu Jin, and Shu Jin handed his hand to him, and then felt that he was holding it tightly.
Her action made Jiang Duanyu smile directly, his words sounded quite helpless, but they were also true, and the family he said did not refer to the Jiang family, but, she.
"Actually, I didn't want much, and after I couldn't ask for it, I was unwilling to do it, but I valued what I had gotten more. As for what may be obtained in the future, it is never worth exchanging what I have in my hands. "He only cherishes what he wants to cherish.
After saying this, Jiang Duanyu smiled at Shu Jin again, turned around and pulled her on.
Looking at his not wide but upright back, Shu Jin thought about it and smiled. But I underestimated him again.
So he also turned to study with Jiang Duanyu.
"Since Yingyue is familiar with the Tsing Yi person surnamed Xie, there is a good chance that she is also Xie Qiang's person. Xie Wanru invited the Chai family to come, presumably no one took it, and Chai Yantai might not go to those flower streets and willow alleys. Lead him there first, and then send Yingyue to talk. With Chai Yantai's virtue, there must be something to say. ”
It will even exaggerate.
You don't have to think about it to know that Chai Yantai must have sold Jiang Duanyu's past affairs a long time ago.
So, is it time for Xie Qiang to take action next?
Shu Jin and the others walked out of the front hall, and Ah Wu was waiting for them outside. When Shu Jin saw him, he said:
"You go and arrest that thief-headed and thief-looking man here, and bring him back to the Red Clothes Courtyard."
Ah Wu said yes, and turned around to leave first. Shu Jin and the others returned to the Red Dress Courtyard for a while, and Ah Wu came back with one person.
Looking at the girl who was thrown on the ground by Ah Wu, Shu Jin sat at the table. Looking at her and said:
"Tell me, what yard are you? What do you want to do when you're sneaking around the hall? ”
The girl argued:
"The slave is just passing by! There is no voyeurism, the slave is wronged! ”
"Okay. Then you say, which yard are you from, and what are you going to do, you will pass by the front hall. ”
The maids are all in the back house, and they go to the front yard when they have nothing to do, let alone go to the front hall of the reception, not to mention how can there be a passing by who will linger there?
"I ......," the maid didn't know what to say.
"Say, what the hell are you doing there? Words not to say. I'll ask Steward Luo to sell you out!" Jiang Duanyu said coldly on the side, since he entered the Protectorate Mansion, he has always been gentle and polite to his subordinates. I've never been so violent.
However, no matter how gentle he is, he is also the master of this house, if he really wants to do something to this little girl, I believe that no one will jump out to oppose it. The little girl was frightened by this. The circles under my eyes were red at that time. However, some did not dare to speak.
"Don't talk about it, ask Steward Luo to get rid of all the people who are related to her." Seeing this, Jiang Duanyu added.
"Don't! I say! Don't drive us away! Xiao Yahuan cried immediately.
"Yes, husband, no, Mrs. Ru asked me to stay and pay attention before leaving, listen to what the prince and the county lord are talking to the Chai family, and then go back and tell her."
The little girl ring is like the lady's yard, but she is not the one she serves. Xie Wanru asked her to eavesdrop because this girl Shu Jin had never seen it. Maybe they won't find out. It's a pity that Ah Wu is watching outside, and she doesn't have a chance to get close, let alone eavesdrop.
She saw two people leaving with two cloth bags, but unfortunately, she didn't dare to go forward to check what was in the cloth bags, so she was still confused about what had just happened in the front hall......
"Even if I don't know her people, can't I guess what she was thinking?" Shu Jin thought.
How could Xie Wanru not be curious about what they were talking about? As soon as she guessed, she would send someone to watch.
It's a pity that Shu Jin is tightly guarded, and the little girl ring can't get close, and she doesn't make an inch, but she sends Shu Jin a handle to the door.
Shu Jin directly detained the person and waited for Xie Wanru to make a move.
This one is waiting to see what happens, and the Chai family has already made arrangements, no matter what they do, Shu Jinjiang Duanyu can deal with it.
Shu Jin guessed that Xie Wanru would deal with herself, and the first thing she had to do was to fall on Jiang Cangjin. Sure enough, in the evening, Jiang Cangjin sent someone to spread the word to invite Shu Jin and Jiang Duanyu to have dinner together.
"Yes, let's see what tricks he plays." Jiang Duanyu said.
So the two went to the front together.
During the banquet, Jiang Cangjin asked why the Chai family left suddenly. Jiang Duanyu said casually: They are used to being casual in the village, and they are not used to staying in the Protector's Mansion.
"How so? When I picked them up yesterday, they were very happy, the prince was not afraid that they would be in trouble in the house, so he sent them away, right? ”
Xie Wanru interjected, "Actually, it's not necessary, we don't have too many rules here, and we won't be picky about any background, so I can say that they also grew up with you, this is for outsiders to see, and the world dislikes them!" ”
Xie Wanru said something in her words, causing Jiang Cangjin to look at Jiang Duanyu.
As soon as Jiang Duanyu heard this, he simply put down the dishes and chopsticks calmly, looked at Xie Wanru with a calm face, and said:
"That's why Mrs. Ru specially arranged for someone to guard the front hall and pay attention to the content of our conversation, lest I don't speculate and kick people out of the house, right?"
"Huh?" At this time, Jiang Cangjin glared at Xie Wanru dryly, and his nasal voice came out, obviously wanting her to explain.
Originally, seeing that she had arranged the house to be in good order inside and outside recently, Jiang Cangjin had a better opinion of her, but she didn't expect that after just a few days, she actually started to cause trouble again.
Jiang Duanyu talked to the Chai family and even avoided him, why did this woman send someone to eavesdrop?
"I didn't, master, this must be a misunderstanding!" Xie Wanru hurriedly said.
In her opinion, as soon as she said that, Jiang Duanyu should refute her first, he definitely didn't mean to dislike the poor and love the rich! Why did you find out what she sent to inquire about first?
Therefore, people who don't play according to the routine are really annoying!
At this time, Jiang Duanyu said unhurriedly:
"Oh? So isn't Xianghong a person in Mrs.'s yard? If not, then I'm mistaken. I don't know what kind of yard this girl is, so bold to spy on the master's conversation at will. It seems that we still have to ask a good question.
Steward Luo,"
Jiang Duanyu said, and called out, Steward Luo was already on the side, and immediately stepped forward at this moment. Jiang Duanyu didn't say much, and simply asked someone to bring the little girl who was caught before. He said:
"Steward Luo, do you know which yard this maid belongs to?" Jiang Duanyu pointed to the maid and asked. This issue is not clear to others, but as the chief steward of the Protector Mansion, Steward Luo naturally knows everyone in order to need it from time to time.
When Xie Wanru saw it, she knew that she couldn't hide it today, so before Steward Luo could answer, Xie Wanru couldn't help but say:
"This is the maid in my yard, and her name is indeed Xianghong, but I didn't let her eavesdrop on the conversation of the prince! It must be that this girl is lazy, and where to run to hide is misunderstood by the world! ”
"Then I'm really curious, dare to ask Mrs. Ru, what did you send her to do? How could she be so lazy to hide in the front yard? ”
"I ......"
"That's it!" By this time, it was obvious who Jiang Cangjin believed and who he didn't believe. So, unable to bear it anymore, he opened his mouth.
Xie Wanru's pale defense was interrupted by Jiang Cangjin's cheers, Xie Wanru had no choice but to shut up, Jiang Duanyu saw it, and then said:
"By the way, Madame, I have one more thing to tell you. Although the Chai family said that they came from a small place, even if they wanted them to see the world, there were some places where they didn't have to go. For example, a place like Huayue Tower should not be allowed to visit.
It is important to know that 'it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift. If he has any bad habits in Changdu and returns to Shanning Village in the future, how do you want him to live a peaceful life? ”
Xie Wanru opened her mouth, but she couldn't find what to say for a while. And Jiang Duanyu paused, and said:
"Besides, although you are just a lady of your father, you have been in charge of the middle feed for many years, and whatever you do and say it is also related to the face of my Protectorate Mansion, isn't it? The way to run a family, first of all, is a German word, what is a big place in Shanning Village, it is not popular to take concubines, Chai Yantai also has the original match, if the lady is not **, why do this kind of matchmaking thing. ”
After Jiang Duanyu said this, he just ran out of rice in Shu Jin's bowl, so he got up and said to Jiang Cangjin that he would go back to the courtyard first, and then take Shu Jin back to the Hongshang Courtyard.
As for Xianghong and Xie Wanru, Jiang Cang will naturally clean it up.
Xie Wanru is really not smart, so she always lifts a stone to shoot herself in the foot, this time, Jiang Cangjin reprimanded her fiercely, and the matter of the feed was simply handed over to the housekeeper to take care of. (To be continued.) )
