Chapter 174 Return
In this way, following Zhong Dushan, Jiang Ruyun came to Zhong's house.
As soon as he entered the Zhong family, Jiang Ruyun was stunned by everything in front of him.
After all, the wealth and luxury of the Zhong family are something that Jiang Ruyun, who has always lived in a paradise, has never seen.
After walking several courtyards, I came to the core part of the Zhong family.
That is, the main courtyard of the Zhong family.
When I came to the living room, Mrs. Zhong had been waiting there for a long time. She knew that today was the day when Jiang Ruyun came back, so she ordered her subordinates to clean up the living room, and then waited to welcome the distinguished guests who had not appeared for so many years.
Jiang Ruyun walked into the living room, this room seemed to be larger than the entire room where he had been living, and those exquisite furniture were also scenery that Jiang Ruyun had never experienced. It seems that the big families on Lingyun Mountain really live up to their reputation.
Mrs. Zhong hurriedly walked over at this time, and then said, "Brother Jiang, please take a seat." β
Jiang Ruyun sat down, but his eyes were still looking at everything around him. After all, these things are really more than new to him.
At this time, Zhong Dushan hurriedly gave Jiang Ruyun a cup of tea and said, "Brother Jiang, please drink tea." β
Jiang Ruyun took it, and while looking at the steaming heat in the teacup, he said, "Brother Zhong, your family business is really big enough. β
Zhong Dushan smiled and said, "This is not my family business, but the property of my ancestors. His tone was full of politeness and humility.
"If" Jiang Ruyun took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "I didn't become the one who sent children from the next generation back then, am I also the same as you, become the eldest son of the Jiang family, and then live a rich life like you." β
didn't think Jiang Ruyun said this, Zhong Dushan didn't know what to say for a while, but looked at Jiang Ruyun with embarrassment.
"Or" Seeing that Zhong Dushan did not speak, Jiang Ruyun continued: "I wonder if my short-lived younger brother at that time would have the same industry and the same reputation if he were alive today. β
All the people, looking at Jiang Ruyun, who had disappeared for decades in front of them, didn't know what to say, this person made people feel familiar, and at the same time made people feel strange that they had never felt before.
"What's going on, Brother Zhong, where are you going to arrange me?" Jiang Ruyun said.
"You and I live here now, because, the Jiang family was twenty years ago"
Before Zhong Dushan could finish speaking, Jiang Ruyun interrupted him, and then said: "I know that after my brother was exposed, my brother and daughter-in-law burned the Jiang family before committing suicide, so there is nothing here now." β
It seems that Jiang Ruyun knows a lot.
That night, Zhong Dushan called all the people in the family over, and then made a very hearty meal, and asked Jiang Ruyun to make it a seat.
"Come, let me introduce you to you, this person is Uncle Jiang, who has been separated from us for decades, and now, he finally returned to our family, so this Uncle Jiang will be our family in the future. β
The children all nodded.
Seeing Zhong Dushan attaching such importance to himself, Jiang Ruyun was also very moved, yes, he was an outsider no matter how he said it, after being sent away that year, it is estimated that all the people did not expect that he could come back, but he did not expect that this Zhong Dushan would be so insistent that he actually talked about the conditions with Granny Jin, and then took himself back.
Although Jiang Ruyun himself had already adapted to such an isolated life, he knew that he was once the eldest son of the famous Jiang family in Lingyun Mountain, and he originally had a life of fine clothes and food, so he should also try his earthly life.
So, Jiang Ruyun also raised his wine glass, and then said: "Actually, now, I don't know if I am from here, after all, I have lived a life of isolation that none of you can imagine for decades, and when I am dying, I can finally return to my roots, which is thanks to Brother Zhong." β
After speaking, Jiang Ruyun startled Zhong Dushan.
At this time, the atmosphere at the dinner table was happy, and everyone really seemed to be a family.
However, Mrs. Zhong is still very worried, after all, the relationship between the Jiang family and the Zhong family is not just kindness, will this Jiang Ruyun count the death of his younger brother on Zhong Dushan's head.
Seeing that the children at the dinner table respected Jiang Ruyun so much, Mrs. Zhong's worries were even more serious, because these children didn't know what happened back then.
So, Mrs. Zhong was very nervous about this meal.
After eating, Zhong Dushan led Jiang Ruyun to a guest room that had been cleaned up a long time ago.
"Brother Jiang, you live here first, first grieve, wait a few days, we will clean up the main house, and you are moving over. Zhong Dushan said politely.
Jiang Ruyun knew that Zhong Dushan was really modest, because, although this room was a guest room, it was spotlessly clean, and the furniture and supplies were all available.
"Brother Zhong, you are so polite, you don't have to clean up the main room, this room is very good, in the future, I will live here, and you don't have to bother." Jiang Ruyun said.
"That's fine, if you like here, live here, but there is one thing, that is, you must treat this place as your home, don't be a little polite, don't have a little restraint, you have to remember, you are the owner of Lingyun Mountain, the people here, are your family, at the same time, my children are also your children, what is needed, you just order them directly." Zhong Dushan said sincerely.
"Okay, I know, Brother Zhong, it's really hard for you today, you can go back and rest early, you don't have to accompany me here." Jiang Ruyun said.
"Okay, then I'll go back first, if there's anything, you can tell your subordinates to do it, or let your subordinates come to me. Zhong Dushan said.
"Brother Zhong, don't worry, I'm really fine here, you think, I've been living alone for so long, in that environment, I need to do everything myself, and at the same time take care of Granny Jin, that old lady is sometimes difficult to serve, so, in terms of life, I am not as unearthly fireworks as you imagined, so, I really can." β
Listening to what Jiang Ruyun said, Zhong Dushan couldn't help laughing.
So, Zhong Dushan left.
Closing the door, Jiang Ruyun let out a long sigh of relief.
Looking around, Jiang Ruyun knew for the first time that he was finally free.
In the past, although he lived in the vast world, Jiang Ruyun knew that he was just a tool to accompany Granny Jin, so over the years, he had never lived for himself.
But, this time, it's really different.
The air here is not as fresh as the air in the place where I live, but every breath is full of the smell of freedom.
Jiang Ruyun lay down, although this is not his bed, although this place seems to be like an inn for him, but compared to the house where he lived for decades, this place is more like home.
Because, after all, this is Lingyun Mountain, and this is where I was born.
Thinking about it, Jiang Ruyun couldn't help laughing.
Such a feeling of happiness has not been felt in many years.
So, Jiang Ruyun fell asleep with peace of mind.
However, in the same courtyard, there was a man who couldn't sleep.
This person is none other than Mrs. Zhong.
"Master, did that Jiang Ruyun say anything to you today?" asked Mrs. Zhong.
"What do you say?" Zhong Dushan was very puzzled in the face of his wife's sudden question.
"That's right," Zhong Dushan continued: "Madam, have you noticed that this person really looks like Jiang Rufeng, when I saw him for the first time, I directly called out Brother Jiang." β
Mrs. Zhong nodded and said, "Yes, they are twins after all. Of course it looks like it. β
However, this Jiang Ruyun is still a little different from that Jiang Rufeng. β
"Where is it?" asked Madame Zhong, puzzled.
"It's just that in Jiang Ruyun's eyes, there is no sharpness like Brother Jiang back then, and there are not so many calculating ingredients, some are just light, and some are just indisputable. Zhong Dushan said.
"Maybe it's because the environment in which this person has lived since he was a child has something to do with it, after all, in that kind of environment, all people will have peace of mind, but," Mrs. Zhong stopped talking.
"What's the matter, madam?" Zhong Dushan looked at his wife's abnormality today, and then couldn't help asking.
"Master, I'm worried that this Jiang Ruyun will bring up the old matter again, and then it will be unfavorable to us. Mrs. Zhong thought for a long time, and finally said all the words in her heart, although she knew that the person who brought up the old things now was herself.
"Probably not, through the conversation with him, I know that when he came here, he inquired about the events of the year through others, I believe that he has his own judgment of right and wrong, and he also said at the time that Jiang Rufeng was to blame. Zhong Dushan said, but although the words are like this, in fact, in Zhong Dushan's own heart, there is no bottom.
"But, master, we still have to have one more mind, after all, this person has been separated from us for so long, we really don't know what kind of person he is, even if he lives in a place where there is no quarrel with the world, but, back here, back to this secular world, will he still maintain his original temperament, no one can say, besides, as the saying goes, blood is thicker than water, after all, Jiang Rufeng is someone's own brother, I am worried that this person pretends to love us on the surface, but in fact to avenge Jiang Rufengγ β
Listening to Mrs. Zhong's words, Zhong Dushan's heart also drummed.
"Okay, madam, I know, I'll keep an eye on it, but, back then, I still have some responsibility, I indirectly sent the Jiang family to a dead end, if I could have told my father everything earlier, the ending at that time would not have been like that, and the sister-in-law of the Jiang family would not have died, so even if this Jiang Ruyun wants to take revenge, I am ready. What should come will come. β
After speaking, Zhong Dushan sighed.
Then, the two fell silent.
"Okay" Zhong Dushan glanced at the tired lady, and then said with concern: "Madam, it's not early, we've all been busy for a day, let's rest early." β
"One more thing. Mrs. Zhong said suddenly.
"What's the matter?"
"Master, Jiang Lian's matter, are you going to talk to this Jiang Ruyun?"
In the past few days, Zhong Dushan has been busy with Lianxin's affairs, thinking about how to deceive Granny Jin away, and then how to bring Jiang Ruyun back, so he has almost forgotten Jiang Lian's existence.
After his wife said this, he remembered that Murong Yingxue was still a tricky existence.
Zhong Dushan sighed, and then said, "I haven't thought about this matter yet, but I plan not to tell him about it. β
"Why is this? Master, during today's dinner, I carefully observed this Jiang Ruyun, and between his eyebrows, there is really a bit of similarity with that Murong Yingxue, so, I think, this Murong Yingxue is Jiang Lian, master, if this is really the case, then if we let them recognize each other, you also know that this Murong Yingxue has been dealing with our family, and now that his uncle is back, in this way, will they join forces to deal with us?" Mrs. Zhong said worriedly.
Mrs. Zhong's words are not unreasonable, if this Murong Yingxue is really Jiang Lian, then everything she has done over the years undoubtedly shows that he just wants to fight against the Zhong family, if she is allowed to meet her long-lost uncle now, when the time comes, won't the two of them come together to fight against themselves?
"Madam, although the words are said so, but we are still not sure now, whether this Jiang Lian is Murong Yingxue or not, what if everything is our speculation? Besides, even if this Murong Yingxue is Jiang Lian who was lost back then, after the two of them meet, of course, there is the possibility of union, but there is also the possibility of reunion, and you and I both know that such a reunion, isn't it all I facilitated for them? At that time, maybe the power of family affection will allow them, especially Murong Yingxue, to let go of all their grievances, wouldn't it be good to have such an ending. β
Mrs. Zhong is still very worried.
Looking at his wife's constricted brows, Zhong Dushan said, "So, for the time being, I don't plan to tell Jiang Ruyun about Jiang Lian, but have another plan." β
"What plan?" asked Madame Zhong curiously.
"A plan to make Murong Yingxue appear automatically. Zhong Dushan looked at the moon outside the window and said meaningfully.
