Chapter 69: The Young Couple
"Thank you, Uncle Shen. If you have anything to say, please don't be shy with me." Jiang Rong said.
Master Shen was slightly stunned, then nodded and smiled, "Okay, okay!"
Jiang Qingyuan's personality is just like this, straightforward and free and easy, without so many formalities and false formalities.
Jiang Rong looks like him.
Master Shen was relieved.
There are many guests at the Shen family today, so Jiang Rong doesn't plan to stay long and says goodbye.
Master Shen asked the Shen Baiting brothers and sisters to see her off...
As the group walked through the front garden, they unexpectedly met Jiang Wenxing and his son who were strolling in the garden.
"Master Shen!" Jiang Qingrong greeted Master Shen as soon as he saw him.
"Where are you going?"
Master Shen was very polite to the Jiang family and said with a smile, "Miss Jiang is going back home. Let the children see her off."
"Why don't you stay for dinner with us, sister?" Jiang Wenxing asked with concern.
He is a very versatile person, and judging from his appearance alone, he is a very elegant gentleman.
"Sister? Who is this...?" Master Shen looked at Jiang Wenxing in surprise.
Jiang Wenxing immediately replied: "My nephew is Rong'er's stepbrother, Jiang Wenxing."
Stepbrother?
Master Shen thought that Qingyuan had no son, and adopting a son was a natural thing in the family, so he didn't think it was strange. So he looked at Jiang Wenxing seriously and asked:
"Can I study? Can I take the imperial examination?"
"I just passed the imperial examination by chance, and I am far inferior to my father," Jiang Wenxing said modestly.
He was an adopted son, and the father he referred to was naturally the top scholar Jiang Qingyuan.
"Not bad." Master Shen stroked his beard and nodded, "You are still young, you can study for a few more years before taking the exam... If you have any questions about your studies, you can ask me."
He and Jiang Qingyuan were in the same list, one ranked first and the other ranked second. There was also another third place, and they were all good friends.
The three of them were on the same list that year and occupied the top three places, which was once a good story in the scholarly circles.
Although he was exiled these years, he did not give up on himself. In addition to doing the work assigned by exile every day, he studied hard and taught his two children privately...
It is more than enough to give some guidance to the students who are taking the imperial examinations.
"Thank you, Master Shen!" Jiang Wenxing was secretly delighted. He didn't expect that he had thought of so many ways to curry favor with the master, but he had already succeeded in making friends before he even used them?
"You're welcome. You're brother Qingyuan's stepson, so I should take care of him more." Master Shen said with a smile.
Jiang Wenxing immediately took action when he heard this, "Then I will shamelessly call you Uncle Shen. Congratulations to Uncle Shen on returning to the capital and becoming the Grand Tutor. You just came back, so I shouldn't bother you, but when I saw you today, I remembered this matter... I will have my coming-of-age ceremony in the middle of this month, and my uncle is looking for a respected elder to officiate at the ceremony... I wonder if you are free?"
"Of course." Master Shen agreed immediately.
Jiang Rong's eyes flickered slightly, and she received the coming-of-age ceremony.
According to the laws of Daxia, when the sons of noble families come of age, if the title is vacant, they can inherit it.
Jiang Wenxing wants to inherit her father's title...
dream.
Jiang Wenmian is about to return to the capital.
"Thank you, Uncle Shen!" Jiang Wenxing was overjoyed.
By then, everyone in the capital will know that he, Jiang Wenxing, the newly-crowned Earl of Loyalty, has the support of Grand Tutor Shen and a younger sister of the Crown Prince’s Consort of the Northern Palace…
There is no need to worry about this life of wealth and glory!
…
Shen Baiting and his sister escorted Jiang Rong to the gate of the mansion.
Shen Wenyuan was seen kneeling on the ground with a frustrated look on his face.
How dare he not recognize Master Shen?
In order to have a father who is a tutor, he had no choice but to kneel when his father told him to.
After Master Shen brought Jiang Rong in, Shen Wenyuan weighed the pros and cons, thought for a long time, and finally knelt down in front of everyone.
I hated Jiang Rong and Master Shen so much!
When Shen Baiting saw him, he looked a little worried, "Second brother..."
Shen Li also looked at him with concern.
Shen Wenyuan ignored them. When he saw a few people coming out, he immediately turned his head away and didn't look at them.
He secretly hated Shen Baiting for deliberately coming out to laugh at him.
He just wants to suppress himself!
He was jealous that he could be in charge of the household affairs today, as he, the eldest son, was inferior to him in every way.
As for Chen Li, a woman, she would not compete with him for the family property, so he didn't take her seriously at all.
Jiang Rong said goodbye to Shen Baiting and his sister, then turned around and got on the carriage outside the door.
He didn't even glance at Shen Wenyuan who was kneeling on the ground.
…
A teahouse box in the capital.
"Young Master, our people were not used. This Master Shen is a straight-forward man. He welcomed our Crown Princess in and asked Shen Wenyuan to kneel outside the door." Xiao Nanxing reported.
Xie Lingxi naturally would not let his Crown Prince's Consort be blocked outside the door.
His reputation of risking his life for the beauty he loves is known throughout the capital.
If anyone stood in his way of the Crown Princess, he would hang that person up and beat them up, and no one would be surprised.
Xie Lingxi was playing with a colored stone casually, and was in a good mood.
Someone is nice to Jiang Rong.
This is good.
"Today, there is a new news from the Shen family. Master Shen is going to host the coming-of-age ceremony for Jiang Wenxing..." Xiao Nanxing continued:
"Jiang Wenmian, who was secretly escorted by the Crown Princess, is about to arrive in the capital."
Since Jiang Wenmian set out for Jiangbei, Jiang Rong sent people to follow him secretly.
Of course, she has no one under her command.
She borrowed this person from Xie Lingxi openly and honestly.
At first, Xie Lingxi only thought that she and Jiang Wenmian had a deep brother-sister relationship.
Worried that the journey is long and they might encounter bandits along the way, she sends people to protect them, which is also a way for a sister to show her care.
But with Jiang Wenxing about to inherit the title, and Jiang Wenmian going to Jiangbei to investigate...
Xie Lingxi vaguely understood that this little girl had prepared a good show.
"Young Master, the Crown Princess is looking for you to discuss something." Jingzhe came in to report.
…
Xie Lingxi invited Jiang Rong in, and according to her preference, he asked his attendants to order another pot of scented tea.
"Husband, do you know anyone in the capital who is eager to help others?" Jiang Rong asked with a chuckle.
Xie Lingxi's eyes flickered, "What do you want people to do?"
"If big brother knew the good news that second brother was going to return to Beijing, I'm afraid second brother would not survive." Jiang Rong said with a smile:
"I want to find a kind person to help my second brother."
Xiao Nanxing immediately said, "Prince's Consort, didn't you secretly send someone to protect Young Master Jiang? He will definitely return to the capital safely! Nothing will happen to him. There is no need to seek external help."
Xie Lingxi: ...
"Mingxin Si Chujue is currently tracking down a fugitive. I'll give him some information." Xie Lingxi said.
"Thank you, husband, for your help!" Jiang Rong's eyebrows curved slightly.
When their eyes met, everything was said without words.
Only Xiao Nanxing, who was standing aside, looked confused: What are you talking about? With our people protecting Jiang Wenmian, how could he be in danger?
Until Jiang Rong left.
Xie Lingxi instructed Jingzhe: "Don't worry about Jiang Wenmian's life or death, protect the things he brought back until Chu Jue appears."
"Yes." Jingzhe accepted the order.
Xiao Nanxing suddenly realized: So, when the Crown Princess said about finding someone to help Second Brother, she meant to help him collect his body?
You two are really a good pair to kill people and pass on the knife.
Is this how true love couples are?
