Chapter 52: Home Visit
Early in the morning.
Two young men were sparring with swords in the empty practice field.
The square-faced young man was obviously more powerful.
He was very precise in drawing and retracting his sword, without wasting any energy.
When his sword cut three marks on the opponent's spear, He Chen threw away the spear in his hand in anger.
"I won't fight you anymore. Your family has been military commanders for generations, and you took advantage of me. I've been killed by you thirty times, which is enough."
Meng Shaoxia retracted his sword, took the wet towel from the guard, wiped the sweat off his head, and smiled happily.
"If your family is like mine, with only one son for several generations, your parents would have trained you to death. But my skills are not the best. If I had a chance to fight with Jiang Feng, I think he is very powerful."
He Chen thought about the appearance of the two cripple last time he saw them, and his body could not help but shudder.
"Not necessarily, they are more people, and they beat the old master to death with random punches. The two cripple are just ordinary people."
Just as he was talking about the cripple.
A guard came to report.
The two cripple were dead.
Meng Shaoxia and He Chen were stunned.
To be honest, they have seen dead people along the way, but like this, there are three dead people in two days, and they are all related to them. It seems too coincidental.
"How did they die?" Meng Shaoxia asked curiously.
"The male kidnapper was bitten by a poisonous insect and died in the middle of the night. The female kidnapper was so sad that she hit her head against the wall and died." The guard said.
"They are together in life and death. They are actually a couple." He Chen sighed.
Meng Shaoxia still frowned slightly.
"Let's go and wash up. Aren't we going to visit the Jiang family?" He Chen pushed Brother Meng.
The two of them heard what the county master said yesterday that the descendants of the once famous Jiang family in Beijing actually lived in seclusion here.
Master Jiang has passed away, but Mrs. Jiang is still here.
Master Jiang is a very noble person, and his heart is as bright as the moon and the wind.
Meng Shaoxia's grandfather and grandfather-in-law have both mentioned him.
He Chen has also heard about this person from the elders.
However, the prince was deposed and imprisoned, the Jiang family fell apart, and Master's family was exiled and left the capital.
During his exile, the emperor pardoned Master Jiang again, but unfortunately, Master Jiang was in poor health and died of illness.
Unexpectedly, his descendants actually lived in seclusion in Ming County.
And the dead guard was the guard of the grandson of the Jiang family.
Since the two of them are here, it would be bad not to visit.
Moreover, the emperor has been more and more sympathetic to old ministers in recent years, always reminiscing about the past, and I am afraid that the Jiang family will still rise again.
Master Jiang has two sons and one daughter. The daughter married the seventh prince. The seventh prince was not favored by the emperor and went to the fiefdom early.
The eldest son, Jiang Huaisheng, is said to be a rare talent, both civil and military, but unfortunately he was implicated by his father. I rarely
hear about the youngest son, and he doesn't seem to be very capable.
However, the Jiang family has a good family tradition, and there are no concubines or the like. The population is simple, so it can't be that bad.
For example, He Chen's family is a mess, with so many brothers and sisters that they can't be counted.
Meng Shaoxia's family is a little bit amused and helpless. It's not that they don't want to take concubines, but their offspring are really in danger. Due to various coincidences, there are few offspring. By Meng Shaoxia's generation, he is the only male left, the only one.
Even the emperor is worried about the offspring of the Meng family, and he joked about sending two princes to the Meng family.
Therefore, Meng Shaoxia was required to keep fit since he was a child, and he was followed by a lot of guards when he went out, for fear that something bad would happen and the Meng family would be extinct.
The two washed up, changed into clothes for meeting guests, and went to visit.
The visiting card had been delivered yesterday.
They went to visit the old lady as younger generations.
The old lady of the Jiang family is also legendary. It is said that she is a close friend of Princess Huiyun, and even gave birth to a child with her. Now Princess Huiyun is devoted to worshipping Buddha, and the old lady of the Jiang family has also lived in seclusion here.
The brilliant generation of the past has disappeared in the long river of time. The
new generation of young people has come in the morning light.
"Knock knock knock."
The tiger-head door ring knocked, and the door of the Jiang Mansion slowly opened.
