Jiang Shuncheng and Zhu Wu were fighting a war of words in the leisurely house, and King Wu and Jiang Shupeng were reading books in the library of Zhu's house.

King Wu smiled: "When I was a child, every time I was upset, I would hide in the library and read books for a day or a few days. ”

Jiang Shupeng immediately thought of a few years ago, there was a rumor that Zhu Wu had accepted Langya Gongzi as a student, and asked in a low voice: "Are you Langya Gongzi?" ”

King Wu did not deny it, but said: "Not many people know, the emperor, my mother and concubine are then Mr. and your little sister." ”

Jiang Shupeng was very surprised: "My little sister also knows the way? ”

King Wu replied in a low voice.

Jiang Shupeng took a book from the bookshelf, read two pages, liked it very much, sat in front of the desk by the window, read it carefully, Wu Wang said: "Confucius and Mencius two sages, I like Mencius more, I know how to be flexible, and more reasonable." ”

Jiang Shupeng said: "I am the same. Even my little sister is most annoyed by reading Confucius's books, but she likes all Mencius's books. Especially for what Confucius said, only villains and women are difficult to raise, and they are even more jealous. also joked that Confucius must have suffered a woman's loss, otherwise he would not have said such a thing. Later, he said that women are difficult to raise, which means that women cannot be raised more, and once they are raised, it is difficult to raise, and Halu Ha ......"

King Wu seemed very happy to see him, and it was very interesting to listen to what Su Yan said. "Your Jiang family, it seems that you love Su Yan very much?"

Jiang Shupeng said with a smile: "My little sister is kind-hearted, and the most eccentric, her parents regard her as a treasure, and they are very respectful and caring for our brothers. He knew King Wu's thoughts about Su Yan, but at this moment, he glanced at King Wu, "My little sister is stubborn and the most domineering. She is really not suitable for His Royal Highness King Wu. ”

King Wu saw that Jiang Shupeng and Jiang Shuncheng had the same mind, and he didn't want Jiang Suyan to marry him, so he would say such a thing. "In your eyes, I'm not worthy of your little sister?"

Jiang Shupeng was slightly stunned, suppressed his smile, and said gently: "She is our only sister, as an elder brother, there is no one who doesn't want his sister to be happy." Yan'er's temperament, I know it. She likes to be free and unfettered the most, and she hates hypocrisy and conspiracy the most. Her temperament is not suitable for a royal life. My brothers and I just hope that Yan'er can find someone who treats her wholeheartedly, understands her, and loves her, as long as she is happy, this is enough. ”

Once, in the eyes of King Wu. The Jiang family is a family of powerful people and a family of traitors, but in Jiang Shupeng's words and deeds, he saw the true feelings that the royal family lacked. Jiang Shupeng will not use his sister to pave the way for himself, or even sincerely imagine for his sister's happiness.

Jiang Shupeng exhaled and muttered, "When I was a child, Yan'er was very naughty and happy. Almost every day, he causes trouble for his family. It wasn't until that year that she contracted smallpox, went through some more things, and suddenly became much more sensible.

Sometimes. I often think that if I had been in the mansion at that time and hadn't let Hu Xiangling calculate her and hurt her, maybe she would still be the carefree little sister who could make trouble in Jiangfu. I really don't want her to be hurt in any way. ”

King Wu asked, "Hu Xiangling?" The name sounded familiar to him. Soon I remembered that at the cherry blossom viewing party in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. It seems to be the woman who calculated Cao Yuzhen, "Cao Yuzhen's fiancée? ”

Jiang Shupeng nodded.

King Wu suddenly became interested in Su Yan's affairs, what made Su Yan change overnight, listening to Jiang Jiang Shupeng's words, it seems that Hu Xiangling hurt Su Yan. "Shupeng, tell me, what the hell is going on? Hu Xiangling, what did she do to Su Yan? ”

Jiang Shupeng smiled slightly: "These things are also what I heard from my family after returning to the Imperial City, and I only heard the truth in the past half a year." ”

After many years, even the family members knew the reason why Lu Dao Suyan no longer paid attention to Hu Xiangling, and even became strangers to her.

Jiang Shupeng didn't want to judge the merits of people afterwards, but he couldn't stand King Wu's curious questioning, so he had to simply say that Hu Xiangling used the pox poison printed on his belly pocket to cause Suyan to contract smallpox, and sent disfiguring ointment to talk about it again.

King Wu seemed to have heard something terrible: "Hu Xiangling was ten years old at that time? ”

"She's a year older than my little sister. Since my little sister was five years old, she often came to my house to play, my little sister regarded her as a sister, every season to make a new shirt, will also let my sister-in-law make a new dress for her, if she doesn't like it, leave a piece of fabric for her. Unexpectedly, she would calculate her little sister, which deeply hurt her heart.

Since then, the little sister has changed, put away her naughtiness, seriously studied chess, calligraphy and Danqing, and worshipped Mr. Zhu as a teacher after the end. Since then, she has not trusted others lightly, but only her own relatives. Xiaomei, she looks very tough on the surface, but in fact, she is the most fragile, she is afraid of hurt, and she is even more calculating.

His Royal Highness King Wu, you and your little sister are two people, for the happiness of my little sister, don't bother her in the future. You don't know if you're a man, but Yan'er is a woman in the end, and you always have to worry about a little reputation. How much do you still like her now, but what about in three or five years? Or in the long run, will it be possible in 10 years? If you can't, don't pester her. ”

King Wu seems to have been stabbed severely, Jiang Shuncheng is not optimistic about him, even Jiang Shupeng is against it, Jiang Shupeng is the most gentle man in the Jiang family, cautious and humble, many times, most of his words and deeds represent the other brothers of the Jiang family. "You think I'm playing child's play with So-yeon?"

Jiang Shupeng put down the book in his hand, even if he was a little angry, he could be gentle and elegant, and said, "I didn't say that." ”

King Wu asked, "You hate me." ”

Jiang Shupeng glanced at King Wu, on the contrary, he didn't hate King Wu, because he knew that King Wu was the son of Langya, that is to say, King Wu was the most talented person among the princes and grandsons.

"If you just put aside your identity as the emperor's grandson, in terms of your person and your talent, it is also the most suitable for my little sister. But you are the grandson of the emperor, and you can't give her the happiness she wants. I just hope you can stay away from her, although I am a weak scholar, I will do my best to protect my sister. No one will hurt her! ”

King Wu's heart was in chaos, as if it was about to rush out of his chest, no longer belonging to himself, but was warned by Jiang Shupeng so bluntly. He almost couldn't control it, grabbed Jiang Shupeng's shirt, and looked at him coldly: "Say! said that Jiang Suyan and I are the best match. ”

After Jiang Shupeng was slightly stunned, he quickly laughed, and it was a sarcastic smile: "His Royal Highness King Wu is too impulsive. ”

"As long as you say that Jiang Suyan and I are the best match, I will let you go immediately."

Jiang Shupeng raised his head, even if he used a more hateful method, he would not bow his head: "If His Royal Highness King Wu is for this, I will tell you clearly, even if I am arrested for a month, a year, or ten years like this, I will not say anything against my will." You and my little sister are not suitable at all! ”

King Wu was so angry that he stomped his feet, but he had to let go of Jiang Shupeng, this weak scholar, made King Wu respectful, it was so awe-inspiring, such neither humble nor arrogant.

Who the fuck said that the Jiang family is cunning and treacherous, Jiang Shupeng is the person with the same heart. King Wu suddenly envied Su Yanlai, who could have such a father and brother, caring for her, loving her, and even wholeheartedly for her.

After some entanglement, King Wu laughed, and stretched out his hand to smooth the wrinkled brocade clothes that he had caught, "Third uncle, what are these words, hehe, last time I chased to Jinzhou, Weak Water promised me, if she marries, she will only marry me." ”

Jiang Shupeng pushed away King Wu's hand, he had a little respect for him because he was a disciple of Mr. Zhu Wu, but this face became too fast, and he smiled at him again in the blink of an eye. "Yan'er doesn't care about small things, but big things are never confused. His Royal Highness King Wu, I want to read a book, please don't disturb. ”

Is he really angry?

King Wu smiled: "Third uncle, let's make a joke, you don't have to take it seriously, right?" ”

"Please King Wu respect himself, don't scream. It's about the little sister's name, and next time you scream, don't blame you for being unkind. King Wu picked up the book on the table, turned away, and no longer paid attention to King Wu.

King Wu thought it was interesting, what he hated the most was the person who patted the horse to please Lu, and Jiang Shupeng was not such a person, at first glance, he was a gentleman who was upright and bright, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and said: "Brother Jiang, I have made up your friend." ”

"To be friends with His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the emperor, you can't climb down and down." He wanted to read, but he didn't want to be close to Wu Wangtao, Jiang Shupeng took the book and said, "I'll leave here, I'll go to Youranju to read." ”

Turned around and got off the library building, King Wu stood aside, King Wu had heard of Jiang Shupeng from Xu Chengxi's mouth, it seems that sometimes he is not close to people, there are indeed some, but he is definitely a person worthy of deep friendship. Thinking of this, King Wu chased downstairs and said with a smile: "You read, I won't bother you anymore!" ”

Jiang Shupeng turned around and went to leisurely residence, King Wu wanted to stop him, but when he saw Jiang Shupeng's face solemn, he flashed to the side with a smile.

The emperor valued Jiang Shuncheng and also named his daughter the county lord of Anxi. On the first day of the fifth month, when the good news came from the northwest, the Xiqi people were driven out of the territory of the Northern Qi Dynasty and returned to Humen Pass, this good news made the emperor very happy, and the Wenhua Pavilion scholars drafted a decree to reward a meritorious soldier.

Jiang Shuncheng because of the second son, sixth son, daughter to serve the northwest, taking advantage of this shareholder wind, was given the title of Wen Zhong by the emperor, in the holy decree, he is the only civil official who was knighted this time, and this title is more interesting "Wen Zhong", hereditary replacement within three generations.

This made the right minister's mansion a lot of joy and encouragement, Jiang Shuncheng with a cadre of children and grandchildren to receive the decree thanksgiving, received the emperor's personal letter plaque sent by the eunuch, and rarely rewarded the eunuch and his party with a "pen set Ruyi" gold bills, the eunuch's purse contained twenty taels of gold bills, and the other entourage palace people also got five taels of gold bills wrapped in lotuses.

The eunuch said to Jiang Shuncheng with a smile: "The county lord of Anxi is my lucky star, as soon as she arrived in the northwest, the emperor was in a happy mood recently, not only Jiang Xiangye gave a first-class marquis, the six attached horses were given as Shenwu Hou, and the brave general was given Jiayong Bo......"

Jiang Shuncheng praised again and again, hugged his fists and said to the palace: "The emperor is wise!" ”
