Chapter 20: First Encounter

He didn't know, or rather, never cared.

Jiang Zhongrong didn't know what Master Jiang was thinking, and he didn't know where to put his eyes after speaking, so he simply looked at Bang Yue downstairs, as if in this way, he could barely calm down and sit alone with his father.

In his memory, he hadn't sat alone with Master Jiang so calmly for a long time, and he was inevitably a little uncomfortable.

"Banyan Xiao." In the end, it was Master Jiang who spoke first and pushed the exquisite food on the plate in front of him: "Dad knows that you loved to eat these things when you were a child." ”

When I was a child, I loved to eat it the most, but because I ate too much of it, I would be slapped by Xue Wan, so that in the end, Jiang Zhongrong didn't want to eat a piece.

But he didn't say anything, and was stunned as he picked up the pastry and stuffed it into his mouth.

Master Jiang showed a pleased smile, watched him eat a piece of it calmly, and handed over the tea intimately.

This made him very frightened, if it weren't for the fact that it was his father who was sitting opposite him, he really wanted to ask Bang Yue to come up and insert a silver needle to test the poison.

felt that Master Jiang's strange behavior was so bad that he wanted to feed poison.

Master Jiang didn't know what his son sitting opposite was thinking, otherwise he would definitely be extremely congested, and he would not be as smiling as he is now, and asked: "Xiaorong, I heard that you have grown in your studies recently, and the last time I met Mr. Teaching, I praised you endlessly, tell your father, where have you learned?" ”

Jiang Zhongrong raised his eyebrows slightly, and said lightly: "Recently, Mr. has taught some business methods of the ancients, and he has learned seven or eight. ”

Jiang's mansion is the descendant of eunuchs, to the generation of Jiang's master, only left a false name in the court, mainly business-oriented, and those with rich family property can buy a number of cities.

Master Jiang asked: "What if the weather is a disaster and it is not easy to sell high-priced grain?" ”

"It is said in the book that the most expensive is cheap, and the most expensive is expensive, and the expensive is like dung, and the cheap is like pearl and jade." Jiang Zhongrong thought for a while: "In the event of a natural disaster, it must be impossible to sell luxury things at a high price, it is better to sell them cheaply, but they will be regarded as precious, and they can also be sold as charity, accumulate some virtue for themselves, and when the natural disaster passes, it will also make people grateful." ”

Master Jiang didn't expect him to say such a thing, the stunned expression hung on his face for a long time, and he was slightly embarrassed between his thick eyebrows, and he didn't know what to say, so he just said, "Okay, good." ”

At the end: "By the way, the soldiers on paper are just general talks, and you can't know the pros and cons without in-depth practice, Xiaorong, my father has a batch of goods to buy recently, and I want to take you with me, are you willing?" ”

Who is unwilling, although Jiang Zhongrong doesn't know why Master Jiang, who often ignores him, has changed, but he nodded and agreed.

This couldn't be better for him.

From this day on, Master Jiang frequently took Jiang Zhongrong out of the house to talk about business, sometimes he walked for several days before coming back, and when he came back, he went into the study, and it took a long time to plunge into it.

Xue Wan has eaten closed door soup several times, and the jealousy in her heart is getting stronger and stronger, originally after Aunt Lan's incident, Master Jiang came less, and now she is still occupied by Jiang Zhongrong, who is a timid waste in her eyes, and she is so angry that she scolds in the house every day.

Time flies, and summer has entered in a blink of an eye.

The scorching summer in the capital is always accompanied by a lingering rainy season, and a fall can dissipate most of the sticky heat.

The back of Xianyun Pavilion is a fish pond, shade place, there are about a dozen carp, Bang Yue happened to pass by here today to see, so let Tao Chun go to ask for a lot of fish food, she sat by the pond with fish food to feed, her feet on the water surface lightly, so comfortable.

If Jiang Xiaoxiao hadn't come.

She came as soon as she came, but she was still noisy, and when she saw Bang Yue, she rushed up and shouted: "Wen Bang Yue, you slut." ”

Hearing this, Bang Yue's face was not red and her heart was not beating when she heard this, she just swept her eyebrows with her little thumb, and said with a smile: "Why is Miss here?" I want to feed the fish too. ”

"Feed what fish." Jiang smiled and said, she reached out and knocked over the things in her hand, and the fish food fell into the water together with the blue and white bowl, which soon attracted all the fish to fight for food.

Bang Yue had waves in her eyes in an instant, but she quickly covered it up and asked speechlessly, "What's wrong with you?" What wind and rain did you hear this time? ”

She used to think that Jiang Xiaoxiao's temperament was naΓ―ve and ridiculous, but now she feels stupid and ridiculous, often listening to the wind and rain, whether it is true or not.

"My mother said that you instigated my father not to let my father go to my mother's place, didn't you?"

Bang Yue raised her eyebrows: "Why should I instigate your father not to go?" Besides, I'm just a subordinate, what ability do I have to instigate? ”

Jiang Xiaoxiao raised her chin proudly: "Mother said that you are bad, let my brother say bad things in front of my father, and my father has ignored my mother recently." ”

This desire to add to the crime, there is no excuse, Jiang Xiaoxiao is innocent, such nonsense can be believed.

However, it is not surprising that Bang Yue thought about it, thinking that Xue Wan was already alert, and she didn't know why Master Jiang suddenly changed her attitude, so she must have asked someone to check before, and naturally she must have known about playing chess with Master Jiang.

will feel that it was instigated by himself and want to teach himself a lesson.

But as the housewife of the Jiang Mansion, and the fact that Master Jiang has been a little cold to Xue Wan recently, she didn't dare to make a mistake casually, which made Jiang Xiaoxiao laugh.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was not a threat at all in Bang Yue's eyes, and she was not interested in feeding the fish, so she simply jumped down and turned around to leave.

"Wen Bangyue." Jiang Xiaoxiao called her loudly, suddenly picked up the pebbles on the ground, and smashed them on her forehead, when she let go of her hand, she could see that there was a bruise on her forehead, and there was faint bloodshot: "I want to tell my father, you beat me." ”

Bang Yue's eyes widened, and at the same time, 10,000 horses galloped and roared in her heart, this girl was afraid that she was sick in the brain, so she would come up with such a bad move, she had no grievances with her, and she was betting on her body.

"Jiang Xiaoxiao, I didn't do anything, if you are upset for your mother, just look for Jiang Zhongrong, don't look for me."

This sister is really angry with her, and now she can't wait to throw such a difficult burden to Jiang Zhongrong and let him deal with it.

"You!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao took a step forward and grabbed her wrist, but because of the sudden dizziness, she fell directly to the side.

Bang Yue raised her throat in one breath, and hurriedly pulled her back, but the force was too strong, and her body fell forward by itself due to inertia.

Plop.

It's really been eight lifetimes of mold.

The pool was about half the height of an adult, and Bang Yue smashed it down, and his head hit the stone at the bottom of the water, and he fainted.

Jiang Zhongrong stepped into the courtyard gate, and when he saw this scene, he was almost scared to death.

Fished Bang Yue up, and invited a family doctor, Jiang Zhongrong's movement was very loud, and he had no scruples at all, so in addition to Xue Wan, who came to hear the sound, Master Jiang also came, sitting in the room and waiting to ask about the reason.

The room was luxurious, but no one admired it, and the atmosphere was low and solemn.

Jiang Xiaoxiao knew that she was in trouble, so she shrank behind Xue Wan and didn't dare to speak, crying in a mournful voice.

No one dared to come forward to ask Jiang Zhongrong, he came from the family doctor, and the family doctor left, his face was as dark as ice, and his eyes were cold and cold at all, so people didn't dare to take in.

After a long time, Bang Yue finally woke up.

Slowly opened his eyes in confusion and covered his head to look at him.

He hurriedly sat down, helped her sit up, and even leaned on her shoulder: "If you feel uncomfortable, don't speak, the little guy has already gone to get the medicine." ”

When did Bang Yue see such a gentle and considerate Jiang Zhongrong, even if he had a headache, he also had goosebumps, raised his eyes, and Master Jiang was also there, so he forcibly resisted the urge to push him away and asked, "What's wrong with me?" ”

Xia Ying said on the side: "You fainted, but fortunately, the doctor said that there is no major matter, and you need to drink medicine to dissolve the blood." ”

Bang Yue tugged at the gauze on her head, wanting to cry without tears, shouldn't this be broken.

I was really unlucky, I knew that I was going to fall into the water, so I might as well let Jiang Xiao laugh as soon as possible.

After they said a few more words, Master Jiang stepped forward and sighed for a long time: "Bang Yue, this time it's not right to smile, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation." At the end, the conversation changed: "Xiaoxiao, do you know what is wrong?" ”

Jiang Xiaoxiao finally poked her head out from behind Xue Wan, but shook her head: "I'm not wrong, I was in legitimate defense, she hit me first." After speaking, he pointed to his forehead and turned the black and white upside down.

Before Master Jiang spoke, Jiang Zhongrong first sneered, not to mention that Bang Yue generally does not beat people, and besides, this trick, Jiang Xiaoxiao has not used it to herself, when she fell into the bushes, she told Xue Wan that he pushed it, causing him to be imprisoned for two days and two nights.

"Whether you made this wound yourself or not, you know in your own heart."

When he said this, even Master Jiang was embarrassed.

No matter what, Jiang Xiaoxiao is also the pearl of Master Jiang's palm, so naturally he doesn't want to be heavily punished, not to mention that he doesn't understand the reason for this.

His face was a little unbearable: "Xiaoxiao, I've said it many times, knowing your mistakes can improve a lot, do you want your father to bring the family rules?" How can my Jiang family's daughter be so arrogant and domineering. ”

"I don't, it's clear that she did it first." Jiang Xiaoxiao's brows furrowed, her father has always doted on herself, but because of Bang Yue, she taught herself in front of so many people, and her words, which have always been high-spirited, splashed down like a cannonball: "Dad, why don't you believe me, I won't lie, it's her who beat me." ”

Although Master Jiang doesn't have much contact with Bang Yue, he can see people accurately, so he naturally won't believe such words.

As soon as Xue Wan heard that her daughter was so wronged, she was still in a maid's place, and immediately said angrily: "Anyway, Xiaoxiao is still young, and it is your daughter, master, if you don't believe her, who else will believe it, look at the wound on her forehead, it is not lighter than the one on Bang Yue's head, and the shape of the wound is almost the same, if you make it yourself, how can you be so ruthless." ”

Bang Yue just woke up, her head was splitting, and the noisy voice was undoubtedly worse for her, but she had no identity to say a word, so she had to set her eyes on Jiang Zhongrong.

Fortunately, he understood, got up and said, "Okay, I don't want to know what the result is, Bang Yue needs to rest now." ”

"It's just a subordinate." Jiang Xiaoxiao saw him so maintaining, and he didn't choose to speak: "It's just a member of the family, and I didn't do anything wrong, it's her who is wrong, why do you say me!" ”

Master Jiang scolded: "She just followed Xiao Rong into the mansion, not a subordinate." ”

Not counting people, nor guests, no one knows why she entered the mansion, only that she is very close to the eldest prince of the Jiang Mansion, and she only serves him alone.

In the end, Xue Wan pulled Jiang Xiaoxiao and walked out.

The sound was extinguished, and the ever-bright lantern on the corridor was extinguished by whom, leaving a green lantern, which faintly hit the antique on the stone pillar.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was sent back to the house by the maid, Xue Wan looked at the direction of her daughter's departure, and sighed silently, I don't know whether to hate iron or steel, or to be more helpless.

The maid Lian Yun heard her master's sigh, and her mood sank: "Madam, are you worried about Miss?" ”

"Xiaoxiao is kind and has no scheming, I will teach her anything, and in the end I will shoot myself in the foot, what do you want me to say." Xue Wan showed a worried look: "Although the master was soft-hearted this time and only punished him for copying books, then next time, next time, she is small after all, and she can't play the tricks of the girl who Bang Yue." ”

Lian Yun listened to it and was indignant: "Relying on the favor of the eldest young master, it is indeed hateful to dare to be so arrogant." ”

There is no moon tonight, and dark clouds are thick.

Xue Wanwan's graceful posture stood for a long time before she suppressed the flame in her heart, and finally said: "In the final analysis, why I can't let go so much, it's not because I don't have a son, I'm afraid that Jiang Mansion will fall into the hands of others, it doesn't matter if I lose something, how can you be wronged if you say that you laugh and laugh." ”

"Madame, don't think so, the lord loves you the most."

"It doesn't matter if you love or not, the important thing is the heir, now there is only one boy in Jiang Zhongrong's house, sooner or later, he originally looked down on our mother and daughter, and he held a grudge in his heart, if the position of the head of the family was given to him, then he would not live."

Lian Yun heard the sound outside the strings, and pretended not to know, "What does Madame mean?" ”

"Tomorrow you go to Ma Langzhong in the western suburbs of Qingcheng, and you will invite you personally."

"Yes."

In the dead of night, it's time to fall asleep.

Only Jiang Zhongrong, who came out of the moon room, could not sleep.

Bang Yue was not in good spirits, and soon fell asleep again, Jiang Zhongrong secretly blamed himself, he knew that he would not go out to run errands today, if he hadn't come back just right, I don't know what would have happened to her......

Only then did he get up and leave.

I don't know when the moon came out, and the cold white light was invisibly shrouded in the bluestone path, making him can't help but think far away, and unconsciously recalled the man he met at the door of the Drunken Immortal Building during the day.

The man's gaze was like a pool of cold water, a ray of moonlight, ethereal, and people couldn't help but look back.

Jiang Zhongrong glanced at it, and when he lost his mind, when he turned back, he almost crashed into someone else's stall.

Recalling the incident of meeting that man during the day, it is also embarrassing to say, I originally went to Qianzhuang with Master Jiang today, but I didn't expect it to rain halfway.

And when he was sheltering from the rain, he happened to meet Master Jiang's former confidant, and at the kind invitation, Master Jiang followed, and handed over the matter to him.

He dealt with it quickly, and on the way back, he took refuge in the rain in the Zuixian Building, but Xiao Er did not entertain him, saying that a noble person had come, and the building wanted to clear people.

The battle is quite big.
