At the door of Jiang's house.

Liu Weizhen stood under the eaves, and Liu Xiuren paced back and forth in front of the door, showing his impatience appropriately.

The old soldier in the gatehouse pinched a little, and felt that it had been almost two quarters of an hour before he opened the door again, "Liu Daguan, my eldest lady invites you to meet in the main hall." ”

The time was shorter than expected, Liu Xiuren was slightly happy in his heart, and beckoned to the entourage behind him, "Send the gift up......"

"Liu Daguan, you don't have to bring in the gifts, my eldest lady specially ordered it, and I won't accept it." The old soldier's tone was a little stiff.

Liu Xiuren knew that because of the food and salary, it was normal for the people of Fenghua Army to have a bad face towards him, and as for the Jiang family, they always did not accept gifts, so they did not force it, and only took Liu Weizhen into the gate.

The Jiang family's house was repaired by Jiang Huai's relatives, and it has been more than 20 years, and it looks somewhat dilapidated, obviously it has never been repaired, and Jiang Huai's identity as the head of the forbidden army is very inadequate, and any other courtyard of the Liu family is several times better than this, so Liu Weizhen couldn't hide the disgust in his eyes from the moment he entered the door.

When he came to the main hall, Jiang Chen got up to greet him, "Liu Zhizhou is here, and the cold house is full of brilliance, but it is inconvenient for the women to welcome them from afar, and I hope to forgive me for the rudeness." ”

"Ha, my in-laws are serious, where do you and I still need to talk about these customs and etiquette......"

Liu Xiuren snorted, his eyes swept over Jiang Chen's side, although Wanwan wore a veil, so that he couldn't see his face, but that graceful posture, there was already a feeling of shock, thinking that his nephew had always resisted this in-law, and even stirred up yellow with his own hands, he felt more and more stupid.

Jiang Chen replied without saltiness, "The marriage contract has been dissolved, and Liu Zhizhou's words of in-laws will not be said again in the future." ”

"This..."Liu Xiuren's face sneered, as if he was a little unhappy, and raised his voice, "Even if there is no such in-law, you and I are friends in the world, and Madame doesn't have to be so rejective." ”

"World friends? Maybe count. Jiang Chen's face was not shocked, and he waved his hand to the chair next to him, "Sit down." ”

After taking a seat, Liu Xiuren pretended to see Zhao Mengqi, who had been sitting there, and asked with a calm face, "Who is this Xiao Langjun?" ”

Zhao Mengqi crossed Erlang's legs, with a haughty posture that he didn't want to deal with, and he was concentrating on playing with the tea cup without looking at Liu Xiuren.

Liu Xiuren was very appropriately angry, "Shaft! Very rude too! Could it be that you are deaf? ”

Liu Weizhen, who was standing at the end of the hall, saw that the uncle knew that the other party was King Yan, and he dared to be so brave, which made him tremble in horror and admire him so much.

Zhao Mengqi raised his head at this time and said lazily, "Are you talking to me?" ”

"Heh, so you can hear it, Liu has been in for a long time, why don't you see the courtesy?" Liu Xiuren deliberately showed his prestige in court.

Zhao Mengqi didn't care, "You and I are both guests, why should I salute you?" Don't talk to me about upbringing. ”

Then he squinted at Liu Weizhen and teased, "Judging from this brother, how can your Liu family be educated?" If you want to be respected, you must first respect people. ”

"Good. Good. Very good! Liu Xiuren gritted his teeth, "Dare to ask Xiao Langjun's surname?" ”

"If you don't change your name, you don't change your surname, you will be in Zhao Yu." Zhao Mengqi hung his son.

This made Liu Xiuren shocked in his heart, what does this Yan Wang mean? Sign up directly, is he already aware of the leakage of his identity? So does he know about the Liu family!?

The speculation in his heart continued, but on the surface, he was shocked, as if he couldn't believe it, "His Royal Highness King Yan!?" It's no joke! Impersonation is a big crime! ”

At this time, Jiang Chen spoke, "Liu Zhizhou misunderstood, Zhao Langjun is a family friend of my Chen family, and he is Qi Shui's Qi." ”

"Chen family family friends? Ki Shui? Liu Xiuren muttered and thought for a while, "Could it be the middle son of the Duke of Xinguo?" ”

Xin Guogong is Zhao Kui, and coincidentally, his second son is called Zhao Qi, and he is only less than a year older than Zhao Mengqi.

Zhao Mengqi only lost a "it's good if you know" look, and didn't make a sound, as if he didn't bother to answer.

"Disrespectful, disrespectful!" Liu Xiuren shook his hands, thinking in his heart, it seems that King Yan doesn't know that his identity has been revealed, otherwise he doesn't need to impersonate other people's identities, judging from his attitude, he shouldn't know about his own family yet, just because of yesterday's incident and disgusted with the Liu family. (This chapter is not finished!) )

179. A play

It can be seen from what happened in Lin'an some time ago that King Yan is a scheming person, if he knows, then he will either leave quickly, or try not to attract attention to the secret investigation, or be kind to paralyze his own family.

But his current performance is completely disdainful of the Liu family, and he doesn't pay attention to it at all, which shows that he doesn't think the Liu family is in danger.

Thinking like this, Liu Xiuren relieved his heart, became more and more determined, and looked at Jiang Chen, "Madam, Liu came here this time mainly to apologize...... Liulang, kneel down and apologize to Mrs. and Mrs. Jiang! ”

Liu Weizhen fell to his knees, and first came three rings, "Yesterday was the kid rude, said a lot of hurtful words, and ruined the reputation of Jiang Niangzi for no reason, it really shouldn't ,......, the kid sincerely apologized, didn't ask for forgiveness, I just hope that Mrs. and Jiang Niangzi will not be angry anymore, if you are still angry, the kid will definitely be beaten and punished, even if he kills the kid, he will not complain." ”

After he finished apologizing, Jiang Chen said lightly, "Okay, seeing that you are like this, it can be regarded as repentance, and the relationship between the two families is also quite deep, so forget about pursuing something, this matter will end here." ”

Hearing this, Liu Weizhen still knelt upright, not daring to get up.

"Madame is magnanimous, cheap this little brute, otherwise it should be killed." Liu Xiuren smiled, his face was full of kindness, "Since Mrs. has forgiven this kid for being rude, can this divorce be discussed again?" After all, this kid is not only a little ignorant of human feelings, he is a little pedantic in reading, he is not bad in nature, and his studies are passable. It's not that Liu is boasting, there are not many young people in the world who can compare to my Liulang, he and Jiang Niangzi are matched, and they can be regarded as talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven, if you miss it like this, it must be a pity for you and me. ”

These words are simply Wang Po selling melons, Zhao Mengqi pouted when he heard it, just a coward like Liu Weizhen, he can't even match his fingernails, what kind of talented woman is there? I'm ashamed, it's shameless.

Wanwan, who was standing behind Jiang Chen, did not have a trace of waves in her eyes, and she didn't look at Liu Weizhen from beginning to end.

Jiang Chen raised his eyelids and looked at Liu Xiuren, "Liu Zhizhou, I think you should not bother, this divorce is not a joke, since it has been said, where is there room for retraction, not to mention whether the nephew and the little daughter are compatible, but the Han family really does not dare to climb the Liu family." ”

"Isn't there any room for it? If the two families become in-laws, the Liu family must try their best to help the Jiang family and the Chen family. Liu Xiuren said again.

Jiang Chen shook his head, "It's just such a daughter, where will there be any Jiang family and Chen family in the future." ”

"Liu can make decisions on behalf of the Liu family, as long as Liu Jiang marries, he will choose someone from among their heirs to inherit the Jiang family and the Chen family in the future, and fully support them to reinvigorate the family lineage, wouldn't everyone be happy?"

The cake painted by Liu Xiuren is big and round, which sounds quite tempting.

"Hehe, you have a good calculation, this is to eat all the Jiang and Chen families?" Zhao Mengqi interjected sharply.

Liu Xiuren's color changed, "What does Zhao Langjun mean by this!?" Do you want to provoke something!? If that's the case, I'm going to seek justice. ”

Jiang Chen's interface, "Okay, this matter has nothing to do with Zhao Langjun, since it has been said that it is better to open the skylight and say something bright, in fact, the old woman has always had the intention of withdrawing from the marriage, because I don't think your Liu family has much sincerity." ”

"Where do you start?"

"If you are sincere, why have you been in arrears with the Fenghua Army's food and salary since you took charge of Pingjiang Mansion? Others may not know the relationship between Fenghuajun and Jiang Chen's family, but your Liu family will not be unclear. ”

Liu Xiuren was a little speechless, the reason why he was in arrears with Fenghua's military rations was naturally for a purpose.

Because of the relationship between the Chen family, the Fenghua army is very different from other Xiang troops, and the local government does not support them much, and it is easy to say a little about official affairs, but it is absolutely impossible to use these sergeants to do hard labor for the officials and make money for them.

In addition, Chen Sigong was best at the naval army back then, so the Fenghua Army maintained this tradition and undertook the task of river defense in Pingjiang Mansion.

Although there were few decent warships left, many military villages were set up along the Yangtze River, and the sergeants also relied on fishing to make a living, and also served as river boats (this chapter is not finished!). )

inspection.

This hindered the Liu family's smuggling business, the key is that most of the people in the Fenghua Army have a bad temper, even if they have a hard time, it is difficult to be bought, so Liu Xiuren wants to make the Fenghua army soft through suppression, and it is also one of the reasons why the Liu family tries to use marriage to control the Fenghua army.

"This ...... That cannot be said, how can public and private be confused? The food and salary of the Fenghua army is not deliberately in arrears by Liu, but it is actually a difficult treasury and cannot get money and grain, and my wife should also know that there was a big flood last year, and my Pingjiang was seriously affected......"

Jiang Chen didn't want to listen to him, "Okay, Liu Zhizhou, you don't have to explain too much, how do you govern as an official, the old woman has no intention of accusing, and she can't say anything righteous Ling Ran, and the woman is only selfish, judging from your style, if the little girl really marries into the Liu family, you really can't expect you to treat it well, since the two families are not right, then there is no need to do more entanglement, so that the relationship between the husband and the younger brother can still retain a little incense." ”

"Since Mrs. has made up her mind, then my Liu family is no longer reluctant, I can only blame the two juniors for having no fate, this matter ends here, so as not to make both families ugly, the wedding card and the birthday of the little lady Jiang, I also brought it, and I will return it."

Liu Xiuren took out his things and put them on the coffee table, and he was relieved, he finally finished the trick, fortunately, the result was quite optimistic......

At this time, the old concierge led a woman dressed as a maid to the outside of the main hall, and before he could report it, the little maid ran to Wanwan crying.

"Jiang Niangzi, my lady died so miserably......"

Wanwan recognized that this maid was Gu Xixi's person, and couldn't help but be surprised, "Butterfly? What happened!? I saw Sister Gu a few days ago, why did she suddenly do it? ”

Hua Die sobbed and cried, "Yesterday, there were a few foreign yamen in the building, and the leader called himself Xu Gongzi, indicating that he wanted the lady to accompany the wine, that person seemed to be very big, and even the steward of the music camp and the county government did not dare to disobey him, so the lady had to accompany him, who knows... How do you know that they drank and feasted until late at night, and they were furious, and forcibly ruined the five ladies present, and they didn't release the people until dawn, and the ladies were covered with bruises, and then took advantage of the slave family not to pay attention, drank the wine, and jumped out of the window......"
