Chapter 387 Jiang Ruo, I know you are not her
As the sun sets, the banquet ends.
The people who had eaten and drunk their fill took the initiative to clean up the scene, and laughter filled the entire street.
Manager Lin ran around inside and outside the house all day. Although it was very tiring, he couldn't help but be in a good mood!
After he came out of the Father-in-Law's Mansion, he went straight into the Imperial Merchants' Mansion.
"Master, Madam, it's getting late. I should go back to the palace." Steward Lin said with a bow.
The old man stood up and said to the tired-looking Steward Lin, "Thanks to Steward Lin for running around today and causing you trouble." After saying that, he winked at Nangong Yi.
Manager Lin waved his hand and said with a smile, "Old Master, you are really embarrassing me."
"These things are all within the responsibility of this old slave."
Nangong Yi took out a heavy purse and turned to stand before Manager Lin. "Manager Lin, thank you for your hard work today."
"It's just a small token of my respect, but just consider it as a way to share in your good wishes." After Nangong Yi finished speaking, he stuffed the purse into Manager Lin's hand.
Manager Lin chuckled, "Then, I'll take it."
Haha, the father-in-law gave me a big red envelope, and the old man gave me another big red envelope.
I'll do more errands like this in the future.
"You must take it." Nangong Yi laughed.
Chief Steward Lin stuffed his purse into his sleeve and said, "Old Master and Old Madam, please rest early. I will return to the palace to report."
Before the old man could get up, Manager Lin quickly walked out of the front hall.
......
At the gate of the Imperial Merchants' Mansion.
Nangong Yi bowed to Manager Lin and said, "Manager Lin, take care."
"Uncle, please go back and rest!" After saying this, Manager Lin got on the carriage.
After watching the carriage leave, Nangong Yi hurried back to the hall.
Old Master Nangong suddenly thought of the guards and the Yu Family Army outside, and ordered Nangong Yi: "Son, quickly give red envelopes to the Yu Family Army and the guards."
"Dad, I'll go right away." After Nangong Yi finished speaking, he said to the two servants, "Hurry up and move that box out."
"Yes, sir."
Nangong Yi walked quickly towards the mansion gate with two servants.
"Wait a minute, distribute these red envelopes to the guards."
"I understand, sir." The two servants couldn't stop smiling.
Haha, I’m done, waiting to receive the reward.
At this moment, Yu Beichen said goodbye from the Father-in-law's Mansion and was about to go to the Imperial Merchants Mansion.
He looked at Nangong Yi who was coming towards him and quickly bowed and said, "I greet you, Uncle."
Nangong Yi already knows Yu Beichen's identity.
He quickly stepped forward and gave him a false helping hand, "Commander Yu, please don't be polite. You've worked really hard today."
"It's what my subordinates should do." Yu Beichen curled his lips slightly.
Nangong Yi chuckled and stuffed the prepared purse into Yu Beichen's hand.
Yu Beichen was about to refuse when Nangong Yi stopped him, "Hurry up and take it, and share in the good fortune."
Afterwards, Nangong Yi said to the two servants, "Give the red envelopes to everyone."
Nangong Yi bowed to the guards and said, "Everyone, thank you for your hard work today."
"It's just a small token of my respect, but I'll just consider it a token of my congratulations."
The guards took the purse and bowed to Nangong Yi, saying, "Thank you, Uncle."
Aping, who was standing behind the door, listened to the noise outside and curled his lips.
Isn't it just a few bucks?
What are you proud of?
Yu Beichen clasped his hands together and said, "Uncle, we still have to return to the palace to report, so I'll take my leave now."
"Take care, everyone." Nangong Yi replied with a bow.
Yu Beichen blew a whistle, and a horse trotted over.
He jumped on his horse and shouted to the guards, "Everyone, obey my orders and return to the palace."
Nangong Yi looked at Yu Beichen's agile figure with admiration on his face.
Whenever he saw a martial arts master, he would give up business and take up martial arts.
Alas, his wish to become a martial arts master can only be realized with the help of his son.
Nangong Yi glanced at the Jiang Mansion opposite and snorted coldly.
You old bastard, you once looked down upon our merchant family.
Now, you can't reach it...
Night falls.
The old man smiled and gave rewards to his servants.
"You've all been tired all day, go down and rest!"
"Thank you, master." After receiving the reward, more than a dozen servants bowed and retreated.
After the servants left, the atmosphere in the front hall suddenly became serious.
"Chen An, go and close the door. Grandfather has something to say." Old Man Nangong said with a serious face.
Nangong Chenan bowed solemnly and said, "Yes, grandfather."
Nangong Yi and Mu Wange looked at each other and smiled: Haha, the head of the family is about to be lectured.
After the door was closed, Nangong Chenan returned to his seat and sat down.
The old man drank a cup of tea to moisten his throat and prepared to give a lecture.
He coughed lightly, and displayed the dignity of the head of the family, "Everyone, listen to me, including Yu'er."
"Son and daughter-in-law obey!"
"Luo Xin, Chen An, obey your command." The brother and sister tried their best to suppress their laughter.
Nangong Yu seemed to hear someone calling him and let out a "Wow" in Mu Wange's arms.
"Shh, listen to your grandfather and don't make any noise." Mu Wange coaxed softly.
The old lady turned her head to glance at the old man and chuckled softly with her hands covering her lips.
It’s different when I arrive in the capital!
Old Master Nangong sighed with emotion, "Our Nangong family has the honor of being an imperial merchant, thanks to the Emperor and the Empress."
"So, I hope our Nangong family will live up to this honor."
"They say there's no business without fraud, but no one would do business at a loss."
"From today on, we will give 30% of our monthly earnings to the court so that the emperor can help those poor families."
After a pause, Old Man Nangong continued, "Next, I want to warn you."
"First, you are not allowed to bring shame upon Ruo and the Empress."
"Second, you are not allowed to take advantage of your status as a royal relative to do anything wrong..."
"If anyone has evil intentions or commits crimes... he will be expelled from the family."
"Did you all understand?" Old Master Nangong said at the end, his tone becoming more and more fierce.
The faces of the people listening to the lecture were serious. They quickly stood up and said, "Son and daughter-in-law will obey your father's orders."
"Luo Xin and Chen An will obey grandfather's orders."
Old Man Nangong nodded in satisfaction, "Alright, let's all go down and rest!"
"Son and daughter-in-law, take your leave." Nangong Yi and his wife hurriedly left the front hall with their three children.
After the family of five left the front hall, Nangong Yi stroked his chest lightly, "As expected of the head of the family, he suddenly became so serious, it scared me to death."
Mu Wange curled her lips slightly, "Dad is just educating us."
"We just have to be obedient."
After walking a distance, Nangong Chenan said softly: "Father, Mother, I'm going to practice."
Nangong Yi heard this and patted his shoulder, "Practice martial arts well and strive to fulfill your father's dream of becoming a martial arts master."
Nangong Chenan: “….”
Dad, let me tell you in secret, your dream... can only be realized by your little brother.
"Dad, don't worry, I will practice martial arts well with my master." Nangong Chenan said, and left with a guilty look on his face.
Alas, I really want to be a martial arts master, but I don’t have the talent!
"Dad, Mom, my daughter is back to the yard." Nangong Luoxin hurriedly said as she looked at Nangong Chenan who was leaving.
Mu Wange rubbed her head and said, "Go ahead and have a rest."
"My daughter is leaving."
Nangong Yi looked at his daughter's departing back and said, "Madam, I have to find a reliable gentleman tomorrow."
"We need to find someone stricter." Mu Wange chuckled.
If you are not strict, you can't control your children...
"Let me hold Yu'er." Nangong Yi took the child and the couple walked towards the yard.
Jiang Mansion.
As the night deepened, Jiang Qinian had no desire to sleep. He put on some clothes and left the bedroom.
Today was the most frustrating and miserable day of his life.
Jiang Qinian stood in the courtyard and looked towards the palace...
He said to himself, "Jiang Ruo, I know you are not her."
"So, don't go too far."
That's right, how could his cowardly daughter possibly win over a man like Xiao Chengjin.
Humph! I don’t care who you are.
Since you are using my daughter's body, you have to listen to me.
Otherwise, I will tell your "secret" to everyone in the world.
By then, you will become the "witch" in the eyes of the world.
Perhaps, the Emperor knows Jiang Ruo's secret...
At this moment, Jiang Qinian seemed to feel that he had Jiang Ruo in his grasp, and laughed triumphantly.
"Hahaha......."
The wild laughter filled the yard, sounding particularly harsh in the quiet night.
Ah Ping, who was about to fall asleep, felt his scalp tingling when he heard the laughter in the yard.
He sat up and couldn't help complaining: Oh, the master must have gone crazy because of the stimulation!
Forget it, let’s go out and take a look!
Aping put on his shoes, got up and went to the yard.
When Jiang Qinian stopped laughing, he took a few steps forward and said tremblingly, "Master, it's getting late, you should go to bed!"
Jiang Qinian's face froze, and he asked in a cold voice, "A Ping, do you want to live a rich life with me?"
Ah Ping: “…”
I dream of living a rich life with you.
But, this, this is not very realistic.
In order to cheer Jiang Qinian up, Ah Ping replied against his will: "I want to live a rich and luxurious life with you, Master."
I should be thankful that things are not getting worse and worse.
Jiang Qi snorted and said proudly: "Don't worry, the days of wealth and prosperity are just around the corner."
Upon hearing this, Aping's face was full of helplessness.
Alas, it is certain that the master is not dreaming, but is really crazy...
"Starting tomorrow, open the door." Jiang Qinian said happily and walked towards the bedroom.
Ah Ping: “…”
Okay, if you are not afraid of being upset, we will open the door.
Aping watched Jiang Qinian enter the bedroom, then turned around and went back to his own room.
Day by day, it gets worse and worse.
After Jiang Qinian closed the door, he went straight to the bed.
Before going to sleep, he thought proudly: Jiang Ruo, I have the leverage over you. Let me see how I can control you.
Find a time to meet Jiang Ruo alone...
Yes, Sheng Yunshao is getting married soon, on that day!
