Chapter 154 The second-generation rich brother is hooked!
Jiang Qibai said, "It's right that you don't like her. Jiang Yanran looks like a little white lotus."
Jiang Youning nodded vigorously, "Brother is wise."
Jiang Qibai looked at his sister's greedy smile and shook his head helplessly.
Back at the general's mansion, Jiang Youning was so happy that she chatted with Jiang Qibai about today's interesting things while walking.
Du Huilan saw Jiang Youning's smiling face from a distance and found it dazzling.
There was also a suave young man following her.
I heard yesterday that Jiang Youning had recognized her biological brother, but today I met her brother in person.
Even if he is a brother, he should be careful about the degree. It is too much to hug his arms.
Xie Jing tolerated Jiang Youning to this extent?
Du Huilan walked over with dissatisfaction, glanced at Jiang Qibai, and walked closer to see that he had beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and a gentle and elegant temperament. He was more handsome than he looked from a distance.
"Madam."
Jiang Qibai looked at the woman in front of him. From her dress and temperament, she was from a wealthy family. Xie Jing had no sisters or relatives, so she should be a concubine.
Jiang Youning said lightly: "Is there anything wrong, Madam?"
Jiang Qibai heard her sister call her Madam, and she knew that she was talking about Xie Jing's second wife, the granddaughter of General Du, and she was indeed the daughter of a wealthy family.
Du Huilan glanced at Jiang Qibai, "I heard that Madam and my elder brother are acquainted, so I think this must be Madam's elder brother."
Jiang Youning said, "Well, this is my elder brother. If there is nothing else, I will go back first."
Jiang Youning did not wait for Du Huilan to answer, and took Jiang Qibai's arm and walked away happily.
Du Huilan opened her mouth to speak, and saw Jiang Youning walking away with Jiang Qibai, not giving her a chance to speak.
"You just look down on others because you are the general's wife. If the general does not marry you, you are nothing."
Mianmian saw the scene just now. She knew Du Huilan too well. She wanted to be promoted to the general's wife all the time.
Seeing Jiang Youning so happy, she must be unhappy.
"Sister Du." Nan Mianmian came over happily, swinging her handkerchief.
Du Huilan was about to leave, but she stopped and looked back. Seeing Nan Mianmian, she asked indifferently, "Is there anything wrong?"
Nan Mianmian sighed, "I haven't seen the general for a few days. Has Sister Du seen him?" When she said this recently, she smiled. Du Huilan knew who Nan Mianmian was looking for trouble with. The general had been busy with official duties or accompanying Jiang Youning these days. How could others have the opportunity to see him?
She asked even though she knew the answer . "What does it have to do with you whether I saw her or not? It's not my fault that you didn't see her, what's the point of telling me?" Nan Mianmian didn't get angry but laughed: "Sister Du, it's not your fault, why are you so anxious? I just feel that the general treats Jiang Youning so well. We feel that we can hardly see her in the general's mansion. I wonder if Sister Du regrets marrying into the general's mansion." Du Huilan was stunned for a while after hearing this. Regret? No regret, she just wants to marry Xie Jing, regardless of his status. If she doesn't marry Xie Jing, she will regret it for the rest of her life. It doesn't matter if Xie Jing doesn't like her now, she can work hard to make Xie Jing like her. As long as there is no Jiang Youning, she can become the legal wife. "Why should I regret it? I have never regretted marrying Jiangjun." Nan Mianmian was stunned when she heard this. She said she knew how much Du Huilan liked Jiangjun, but she was shocked that she still liked him so much after all that she had experienced. But to be honest, she regretted it a little. It was bad enough that Xie Jing didn't like her, but it was hard for him to even meet her. This was more painful than being a widow. She looked at Du Huilan and raised the corners of her lips, "Sister Du really likes Jiangjun, it's a pity that Jiangjun doesn't like Sister Du." Du Huilan naturally knew that Xie Jing didn't like her, but Nan Mianmian said it so clearly, which made her lose face. "The general doesn't like you either, what are you happy about?" Nan Mianmian said nonchalantly, "I know, but I'm just happy." Du Huilan: "..." Sick! Nan Mianmian was originally unhappy, but when she saw Du Huilan sad, she was not so sad anymore. Maybe this is because she had been showing off in front of her, but was repeatedly slapped in the face. She was sad but also a little schadenfreude. Back at Lingxi Courtyard, Jiang Qibai asked, "Sister, are those concubines easy to deal with?" Even if Xie Jing didn't like those women, living under the same roof would inevitably lead to friction. If they were all jealous women and did funny things behind her back, her sister would definitely suffer. Jiang Youning said, "It's okay. I usually don't deal with them." Jiang Qibai knew his sister's personality. She was too lazy to socialize with people she didn't like. "It's better to be careful. Those two are desperate to marry into the general's mansion. If Xie Jingruo only favors you, they will be jealous. Don't underestimate women's jealousy." Jiang Youning looked at Jiang Qibai in surprise, "Brother, you don't even have a girlfriend, how do you understand women so well? It's amazing." Jiang Qibai smiled and said, "In fact, men and women are the same. When you are jealous, you never know whether it is a human or a ghost in front of you. It has nothing to do with whether you have a girlfriend or not. This is human nature." "I know that." Jiang Youning whispered in Jiang Qibai's ear: "Brother, the one who kidnapped me last time was a woman, and she was the princess of the current dynasty. She liked Xie Jing, but Xie Jing didn't like the princess. Fortunately, the emperor didn't force the marriage." Jiang Qibai heard this and immediately understood why Xie Jing, a general, didn't dare to act easily even though he knew who the other party was. The princess of the current dynasty was indeed a bit tricky. "You still have to be on guard. A jealous woman like the princess will definitely take action again." Jiang Youning: "The general said the same thing, so he sent more people to protect me and wait for the opportunity." Just now when he went to the street, Jiang Qibai always felt that someone was following him. It turned out that someone was following to protect his sister. "This method is really good."
Xiao Yu climbed over the wall and saw you. As soon as he climbed up the wall, he saw a man sitting under the tree. He didn't recognize the man's face.
"Why is there a strange man in Lingxiyuan?"
Xiao Yu jumped down from the wall with doubts, walked straight to the tree, stood in front of the man, and looked alert, "Who are you?"
Jiang Qibai raised his head when he heard the voice and looked at the young man in front of him. There was a hint of immaturity on his handsome face.
He was wearing a yellow narrow-sleeved brocade robe with cloud patterns. You can tell from the fabric that it is extremely fine brocade satin, which ordinary people can't afford.
The young man in front of him is either rich or noble.
"Who are you?"
Xiao Yu lifted her skirt and sat down at the table. She looked at the man in front of her and introduced herself. "I am Ning'er's friend Xiao Yu. Who are you?"
Jiang Qibai heard that it was his sister's friend, and a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes. "How did you, a foreign man, enter the inner courtyard?" Jiang Qibai
had just come here and knew a little about the etiquette and rules of ancient times. Even if a foreign man reported, he could not enter the inner courtyard casually.
Xiao Yu is good at breaking into
the house, and he is still his sister's friend? Xiao Yu said as a matter of course: "I never go through the main gate to enter the general's mansion. Etiquette and rules are dead, but I am alive and don't care about those."
Jiang Qibai: "..."
Xiao Yu looked up and down at the man in front of him. He was indeed good-looking, but good-looking did not mean that he could enter Lingxi Courtyard casually.
"Who are you?"
Jiang Qibai felt like he was talking to a child about rules, but the key was that the child was still disobedient and self-righteous.
"I am Ning'er's elder brother, Lu Zhaomian."
Xiao Yu snorted coldly when he heard this: "Why don't I know that Ning'er has an elder brother? Are you pretending to be him?"
Jiang Qibai sneered: "Do you think you are a local security guard and know everything?"
Xiao Yu was speechless for a moment.
Jiang Youning came out with a plate of chilled fruits and vegetables. Seeing Xiao Yu coming, she smiled and walked over to him, "Xiao Yu, this is my elder brother."
Xiao Yu raised her head and looked over. Her beautiful peach blossom eyes also smiled, "He really is your elder brother? I thought he was lying."
Jiang Youning put the fruit plate on the table, sat down, raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiao Yu, "It's not that easy to fool me."
No one can pretend to be her elder brother.
Jiang Qibai glanced at Xiao Yu and asked his sister, "Why did he barge into your yard?"
Jiang Youning shrugged helplessly, "He is Xiao Yu, the son of Prince Jing, and he has only one hobby, climbing walls."
Xiao Yu retorted, "It's not a hobby, I just want to save time, it's too slow to go through the main gate."
Jiang Qibai: "..."
Jiang Youning added, "His hobby is eating for free."
Xiao Yu heard this and was powerless to refute. He came to eat for free more and more times.
"Who made your food delicious?"
Jiang Qibai looked at the interaction between his sister and Xiao Yu and could see that their relationship was indeed good.
The son of Prince Jing was indeed noble.
Xiao Yu picked up the watermelon from the fruit plate, put it into his mouth and took a bite, then looked at Jiang Youning with curiosity, "When did you find big brother? How come there is no news at all?"
"My acquaintance with big brother was an accident. We met during the last kidnapping, and then we got to know each other." Jiang Youning picked up a piece of watermelon and handed it to Jiang Qibai, "Brother, eat watermelon."
"Yes." Jiang Qibai took the watermelon.
Xiao Yu thought it was a bit magical, "What kind of fate is this, you two still meet after so many years of separation."
Jiang Youning took a piece of watermelon and took a bite, "This is called blood is thicker than water!"
Xiao Yu nodded in agreement, "It makes sense."
Jiang Youning asked, "There is no roasted rabbit or fish today, why are you here?"
Xiao Yu said, "Who said I came here to eat for free? I told you that the ice jelly and ice cream you taught the chef to make last time are very popular. When everyone eats hot pot, they all want to order one or two bowls."
Jiang Youning seemed to hear the sound of money entering his pocket when he heard this.
"It looks like there is another dividend to be credited."
"Well, when the accounts are settled at the end of the year, I will give you the dividend." Xiao Yu said and took a bite of watermelon.
Jiang Qibai listened to the conversation between the two and guessed that the hot pot city was opened by Xiao Yu.
Why didn't she realize that her sister was so business-minded before?
However, her sister has been smart since she was a child, but she has always been overshadowed by her greedy appearance.
The first impression she gives to others is greed.
So people will overlook her intelligence. After
making sure his sister is safe, Jiang Qibai also decided to start a business, which is what he is best at.
Whether in modern times or ancient times, either you have money or you have power.
The original owner was an unfavored bastard of the Lu family. He was bullied for many years and committed suicide after depression.
He could get very little of the family business. After he came here and understood the situation, he didn't expect the family business. After
Jiang Youning was happy for a few days, his excitement gradually subsided. Thinking of her elder brother coming, what will grandpa and dad do?
Dad is still counting on her elder brother to get married and have grandchildren.
Grandpa is also looking forward to having great-grandchildren.
She sighed, and now she doesn't want her elder brother to come through.
When Jiang Qibai walked in, he saw his sister sitting there sighing, "Sister, what's wrong?"
Jiang Youning raised her head, and after Jiang Qibai sat down, she spoke, "Brother, you are here, what will grandpa and dad do?"
Jiang Qibai chuckled: "Grandpa has dad to take care of him, you don't have to worry, as for dad, don't we still have Yuan Xiao?"
Jiang Youning thought of Yuan Xiao, the rich second-generation brother who was younger than her.
Yuan Xiao was the adopted son of his father. Two years ago, his biological parents came to the door and found out that Yuan Xiao was a super rich second-generation.
Yuan Xiao accidentally got lost when he was a child, and his parents went through a lot of trouble to find him.
Although Yuan Xiao returned to his biological parents, he would come back frequently. In the end, Yuan Xiao's parents moved to Shanghai to settle down for their son's family.
The two big houses are next door, and Yuan Xiao's family takes turns living there, and they have a very good relationship.
Yuan Xiao is also my father's son.
"That's too miserable for him. He's only seventeen years old, and he has to bear the wish of his grandpa and father to have a grandson."
Jiang Qibai chuckled: "Young people need pressure to be motivated."
"..." Jiang Youning: "You are such a good brother."
Jiang Qibai did not comment.
After staying in the general's mansion for a few days, Jiang Youning accompanied Jiang Qibai to the street to look at shops.
Although the original owner was an unfavored bastard, the original owner's mother gave him all the dowry, so it was okay to rent a shop to do business.
After visiting several shops, Jiang Qibai was afraid that his sister was tired, so he took her to rest in front of a stall and drink some mung bean soup to cool off.
Jiang Youning only knew that Jiang Qibai was thinking of doing business again, but she didn't know what he wanted to do. However, she believed that with her elder brother's ability, it would be good.
"Brother, let's not count on renting a house. When we find a suitable one, we will buy it."
As a man, Jiang Qibai would naturally not use his sister's money.
"Keep your money for yourself, don't worry about it, elder brother."
Jiang Youning said, "Brother, just think of it as my investment. As the saying goes, good things should be kept within the family. Even if the rent is expensive, it still belongs to others."
Jiang Qibai pondered for a while and said, "Let's talk about it later."
Seeing that her elder brother was wavering, Jiang Youning stopped talking and continued to persuade him when she returned.
Jiang Qibai saw the shop opposite, which was in a good location. "You rest here for a while. I'll go take a look across the street and come back soon."
Jiang Youning nodded: "Yeah."
Jiang Qibai got up and walked into the shop opposite.
Jiang Youning lowered her head and drank the mung bean soup in the bowl.
Suddenly, a carriage stopped, and four men in black got off the carriage. They moved very quickly, carried Jiang Youning and ran to the carriage.
Jiang Youning was confused. Who would have thought that she would be kidnapped while drinking mung bean soup.
This was the third time she was kidnapped, and she was familiar with it.
Her fear was also reduced a little, because she knew that the person who protected her was nearby.
If it was the princess who was kidnapped this time, there would be evidence to prove that the princess did it.
Leng Yu saw that his wife was kidnapped, and said, "You go and inform the master."
