Chapter 3 Zhao Yu'an
PS: There is indeed a stalk about "divorce" in this chapter, but the author guarantees that the plot development is completely different from 99% of the divorce streams...... Readers, you will understand ^_^ by patiently reading ten chapters.
PSS: In addition, the author promises that there will never be a similar routine in this book.
。
In Zaifu Hall, two voices, one old and one young, are talking fiercely at the moment.
The young man was Jiang Chen's eldest brother Jiang Lin, and the middle-aged man who spoke to him was his father Jiang Tianxing.
"Dad, you are too indulgent Jiang Chen! A gentleman like him, living in isolation and with a withdrawn personality, has no value to the family at all. If you want me to say, you just expel him out of the door and cut off the relationship. Why bother talking to him about martial arts and talking about what conditions and interests. ”
Jiang Lin's tone was cold, and he was about to expel Jiang Chen from the house without leaving any emotion.
This is the factional struggle in the big family, even if you don't want to get involved, you will inevitably be involved by others.
"Nonsense, no matter how wrong he is, it's also your own brother. ”
Jiang Tianxing frowned, and opened his mouth to reprimand: "Okay, I have made up my mind, I will do what I say in a while, you are not allowed to interject." Brotherly disagreement is a taboo in the decline of the family, not to mention that his martial arts have indeed been practiced to a level that ordinary people can't understand, don't make things too stiff, and he may not be useless to our family in the future. ”
"Hmph, how many martial arts can you do, what use can it be?"
Jiang Lin sneered, and his tone was very disdainful: "In the past hundred years, the foreign guns and cannons of the Xiyi people have also been introduced to the Central Plains with the caravan, the times have changed, and the world has also changed. Otherwise, with his obedient character, I don't know what big trouble will happen in the future, if there is such a number one person in our Jiang Mansion, maybe one day he will be dragged into the water, and he won't even know what happened when he died. ”
......
The house was full of murderous intent, and it was collected in Jiang Chen's ears word for word.
The peak of dark energy, qi and blood penetrate the seven orifices.
With his current realm, if he concentrates, within a radius of fifty zhang, even if the wind blows and ants move, he can hear it clearly.
However, he did not react, his face was still as calm as water, as if the conversation in the room had nothing to do with him.
In this home, he has always felt like a passerby.
Click.
Jiang Chen's feet exerted slightly, making a small sound, and the sound of talking in the room also stopped abruptly.
He stepped forward, knocked on the door, and only after obtaining permission did he enter the room.
On the main seat of the hall of Zaifu Hall, a man and a woman sat on it, it was his father Jiang Tianxing, and the eldest lady Wei.
Standing next to the two of them was Jiang Lin, who had just wanted to kill him behind his back, but at this moment, he had returned to his hypocritical and gentle appearance, with a smile on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Looking at the three people in front of him, Jiang Chen smiled dumbly. A feeling rose in my heart. It turned out that they were just a family, and they were just outsiders.
But he doesn't care.
Since his mother died of illness, he really has no feelings for Jiang Fu, and he only has a sister Yongge who has picked up, which can be regarded as the only concern.
"Dad, Auntie, Big Brother. ”
Jiang Chen nodded slightly, and politely greeted the three people in the room: "Dad, it's so late today, you call the child over, do you have something to order?"
"Ahem, you're here. ”
Jiang Tianxing coughed, and after hesitating a few times, he finally looked at him and said in a deep voice: "Jiang Chen, you are already twenty years old this year, and it can be regarded as the time to start a family." Since you don't want to inherit the family business of my Jiang Mansion, then I will let you go out of the mansion and start a family on your own. However, before you go out, you have to do something for the family, and after the thing is done, I will give you a large sum of money, enough for you to spend for a lifetime. ”
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Jiang Chen was unmoved, he knew that this was the right thing for his father to come to him tonight.
He waited quietly, neither speaking nor obsessed with objecting.
"Not bad. ”
At this moment, Jiang Lin, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but answer: "Jiang Chen, the eldest lady of the Zhao family who went to study in the West, will come back tomorrow, and you will go to the Zhao family in two days to dissolve your marriage contract with her." Remember, for all these reasons, you must take all of them to yourself, and you must not have the slightest connection with my Jiang Mansion. ”
"What? Go to Zhao's house to get married?"
Jiang Chen frowned, and naturally knew that the Zhao family in the other party's mouth was another big clan in Changsha City that could keep pace with their Jiang family: "But I never remember that I once had any emotional dealings with the young lady of the Zhao family." ”
"That marriage was given by your mother when you were a child. I thought you could inherit the Jiangfu family business, but I didn't expect that you were much worse than your brother. Since now, you are obsessed with martial arts, do not want to pay attention to the world, and do not need the relationship of the Zhao family to maintain our family's business contacts, then let this marriage go and give it to your brother to inherit. ”
Jiang Tianxing made a decision, and he had already made up his mind: "After this matter is done, I will give you ten thousand taels of silver, but if you do this, it will be a shameless thing for both our Jiang family and the Zhao family, so from now on, the family will expel you nominally, and you can no longer call yourself a child of my Jiang family in front of outsiders......"
Call.
Jiang Chen closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
After a long time, his eyes were reopened, as calm as water, and four words came out of his mouth.
"I disagree. ”
......
At night, on the water surface of the Xiangjiang River, a steamship emitting gray-white smoke was preparing to speed up into the Chengling Port of Changsha Port while the river was not yet frozen.
The sailors on the ship gathered together, looking at the continent slowly emerging in the distance, their faces showing the color of joy.
The steamer, with its ironclad bow, glittered with silver, and its pillar-like chimneys stood tall with a deafening roar. The hull of the ship is engraved with a large gilded symbol that is incompatible with the oriental script.
This symbol is an exotic language far away from the western ocean, and if translated, it means "British Far East Group Company".
This is a caravan from the British Kingdom, which came to Daning for business and trade, and of course occasionally escorted some big men as a tool for sea crossing.
At the bow of the boat, a man and a woman, two young men, were now looking out at the port a few miles away.
The two of them, the man is blonde and blue-eyed, with a tall figure and a dark shirt on his shirt, and at first glance he is not from Daning, but a native of Western origin.
And the woman standing beside him was slim, with ice muscles and jade bones, like a fairy in the sky, with a cold expression in the moonlight, and the appearance of an oriental woman.
The two men looked into the distance, each with their own thoughts, and stood silently in the bow of the boat, neither of them saying a word.
In about half an hour, the merchant ship will be docked. When the people on the ship saw the eastern continent, they had their own thoughts.
"Miss Yu'an, it looks like you're going to your hometown soon. After we arrive at the shore in a while, do you need to lead a team of people to escort you home in person? The contemptible people really want to know what kind of environment is it like to give birth to a noble and elegant woman like Miss Zhao. ”
Looking into the distance, suddenly, the white young man's eyes closed, and he slowly opened his mouth with a smile, and what he said in his mouth was actually a Daning official dialect.
He looked at the girl politely, and the corners of his mouth went up.
But in the depths of his eyes, there was a trace of unconcealable desire, as if a vicious wolf was looking at its prey, mixed with indescribable greed.
However, after hearing the words of the blond young man, the girl opposite had a calm expression like water.
"No need William, just get off the boat in a moment, and you can go about your own business. In the land of Great Xia, I don't need you to send me home yet. ”
The girl in white was not angry, but coldly refused, and there was a feeling of being out of the world and unapproachable between her words, as if no one could approach her.
She stood at the bow of the ship, as if her body was still here, but her spirit was floating away, and she was no longer in the same plane as the people on board.
"Hehe, why is Miss Yu'an so unfamiliar with me. Before coming out, didn't my father and Master Ling have already instructed us to be closer, so why should Miss Zhao refuse to be thousands of miles away?"
As he spoke, William smiled wickedly at the corner of his mouth, and reached out to pat Zhao Yu'an's shoulder as if he wanted to get closer.
"Huh?"
Facing his "sudden attack", Zhao Yu'an's eyes were slightly angry.
Just as the other party's hand was about to pat on her shoulder, her face turned cold, and her shoulder blades suddenly rose upward, like a big gun poking up, straight into his palm.
"Oops!"
In the next second, William screamed, clutching his right hand tightly, with a painful expression on his face. On his palms, there was a large bruise at this moment.
"Master William, without the consent of others in the future, I hope you don't pat the lady's shoulder indiscriminately. Do you know that if you slapped my master on it just now, all the blood vessels and nerves in your entire forearm would have already turned into a blurry mass of meat sauce. ”
Zhao Yu'an glanced coldly at William, who was wailing on the ground, and his tone was cold. Then he pulled up the maid beside him.
"Xiaoyun, let's go. ”
With that, she grabbed the arm of the maid beside her with one hand, stepped forward without looking back, and jumped off the boat directly over the deck.
Zhao Yu'an stood on his feet in the icy river water, not drowning in the water. It was as if they were stepping on quicksand and swamps, but they only sank to a height of a few feet.
This scene, which almost defies basic common sense, is displayed like a myth in front of everyone on board!
Then, she walked forward, rolled up the waves, and walked towards the shore step by step at a speed faster than a steam wheel. Only a long white mark was left on the surface of the river, which lasted for a long time......
"Terrible, what kind of realm is she?"
Seeing this scene, William stood up and rubbed his palms, with an incredible look in his eyes.
Next to him, an old man with deep eyes hurriedly helped him up, looked into the distance in amazement and said.
"Young master, in the martial arts system of the Orientals, the realm of Ling Bo treading water can only be possessed by a master of the transformation realm. Miss Zhao's martial arts skills may have reached the supreme level, and in our Far East Company, only Lord Ha Luo should be able to fight against him. ”
"What?!"
Hearing this, a deep fear appeared in William's eyes.
He naturally knew how powerful the "Lord Haluo" on the ship was, who kept himself locked in the room all day long.
I think that he went to Africa to do business, in the blank and vast grassland, several people were suddenly surrounded by lions, and when they saw that everyone was about to be buried in the belly of the lion, the Lord Khara suddenly made a move, and killed more than a dozen lions with his bare hands in three breaths, which was terrifying and not like humans.
And the girl in front of her, who is only twenty years old, has actually reached this realm in martial arts?
William couldn't believe it.
He looked at the back of Zhao Yu'an in the distance, the gentlemanly appearance gradually disappeared, and there was a hint of beastly desire to conquer in his eyes.
"Woman, you have piqued my interest. I, William, swear that I will get you no matter what, no matter how powerful you are, I will definitely do it. Even if I can't get your heart, then I will get your people first!"
"What, young master, are you going to attack Miss Zhao?"
Hearing him say this, the old man with a deep breath next to him changed color and asked in surprise.
"Not bad!"
After swearing poison, William raised his eyebrows, and suddenly said to the old man as if he remembered something: "By the way, I heard that this Zhao Yu'an seems to have an engaged boyfriend in Changsha City." ”
His eyes were cold: "After getting off the boat in a while, you send someone to investigate what the identity of that person is." If he really has a relationship with Miss Yu An, he will secretly kill him! You know, in the east, a languid land full of barbarians, our Imperial Far East Company is the only rule. Whoever dares to stop me will die for me!"
