Jiang Zhan didn't expect Jiang Ancheng to bring this up. Looking at the bloodshot eyes of his father, he couldn't help but say, "Father, you've worked hard all day, you should go back and rest first. I have a good relationship with Brother Yu Qi, he won't care about this."
Jiang Ancheng's face darkened and he shouted, "Lead the way!"
Jiang Ancheng was a grateful person. Even though he was exhausted both physically and mentally, he thought he should go to the house to express his gratitude instead of just following Madam Feng's instructions and sending a steward to the house.
Jiang Zhan shrank his neck and hurried to lead the way.
This time his father didn't lift a finger against him, but he no longer had the courage to fight his father as before.
In other words, he was ignorant and fearless before, and in fact, he couldn't be more stupid.
When they reached the entrance of Quezi Hutong, the father and son happened to see the steward of the Bo Mansion peeking inside with a gift box.
"Manager Wang, please give the things to me." Jiang Zhan stretched out his hand.
Steward Wang said hurriedly, "Let me carry it. The old lady has asked me to deliver Xie Yin."
Jiang Zhan said no more and walked in front to lead the way.
The three of them soon stopped in front of a house with a crooked jujube tree planted.
"Father, Brother Yu Qi lives here."
Jiang Ancheng personally went forward and knocked on the door.
"Who?" The door was half opened, revealing the distinctive face of One-eyed Old Wang.
Jiang Zhan said hurriedly, "Old Wang, this is my father. He came here today to thank Brother Yu Qi."
Lao Wang immediately turned around and shouted, "Master, Mr. Jiang's father is here."
Yu Jin was drinking tea under a tree in the yard and smoothing Erniu's hair. Hearing this, he jumped up in surprise and stepped on Erniu's tail.
Erniu was enjoying the caress of his master, but he didn't expect a flying creature to come and cause trouble. He let out a cry and ran away.
Jiang Ancheng was frightened when he saw a big dog rushing towards him.
What kind of hospitality is this?
Fortunately, the big dog passed by him like a gust of wind without any other unfriendly movements.
Jiang Ancheng calmed himself down, strode into the courtyard and clasped his fists to Yu Jin: "Thank you very much, young master, for saving my son."
Yu Jin was still in a daze at the moment and glanced quickly at Jiang Zhan.
Why is Asi's father here? This is too sudden!
However, Yu Jin is not the kind of silly boy who would stutter when meeting his sweetheart's father. Instead, he thinks this is a great opportunity to win the favor of his future father-in-law.
Yu Jin quickly calmed down and turned aside to return the greeting: "You are too polite. No matter who falls into the water, I will help them. I didn't know it was Jiang Erdi at the time, so I don't deserve your thanks."
When Jiang Ancheng heard this, he immediately became fond of the young man in front of him.
He originally had a mediocre impression of this young man. There was nothing he could do. Who made this young man become friends with his son?
In Jiang Ancheng's opinion, anyone who hangs out with his son must be in cahoots with him, especially since he rode away his horse that day!
Now Jiang Ancheng feels deeply ashamed.
Look at his character, how kind and generous he is.
Tsk tsk, there are not many young people like this.
Jiang Ancheng thought so and glanced at Jiang Zhan, thinking that his foolish son could actually have bright eyes sometimes, and he shouldn't have had preconceived prejudices.
"This is the thank-you money from the Earl's Mansion to you, young master." The steward presented the gift box.
Yu Jin smiled politely and refused decisively: "No need to thank me, it's just a piece of cake."
"Sir, please accept it, otherwise I will have a hard time reporting back."
Yu Jin's face straightened: "Brother Jiang and I are like brothers. I am just happy that I was able to save him by chance. What kind of person would I be if I accepted the money as a thank you?"
He smiled at Jiang Ancheng and said, "Uncle, is this true?"
Jiang Ancheng couldn't help but nodded.
That makes sense. If he saved his friend and his friend's family gave him money as a thank you, he would probably be so angry that he would throw the money away.
The manager was about to say something when Jiang Ancheng glared at him fiercely.
The steward held the gift box and said nothing.
Jiang Ancheng felt that he had a good affinity with the young man in front of him, so he asked, "I wonder how Mr. Yu and I met each other?"
Yu Jin said hurriedly, "Uncle, please call me Xiao Yu like Master Zhen does."
Jiang Ancheng was not a fussy person, he smiled when he heard that: "Okay, I'll call you Xiaoyu from now on."
Jiang Zhan, who had no sense of presence at the side, was afraid that Yu Jin would tell about the first time they met near the brothel, so he quickly interrupted and said, "My son was fighting with someone at the time and was in a critical situation. Brother Yu Qi happened to pass by and drew his sword to help me. From then on, we got to know each other."
Jiang Ancheng began to like Yu Jin more and more: "So, this is the second time Xiao Yu saved you."
No wonder he is different from the bad friends of the son of a scoundrel. It turns out that the way he got to know them is different from those of the playboys.
As expected, young people like Xiaoyu who are self-reliant and don't rely on their families are the most reliable. Such young people, even if their family conditions are not so good, are a hundred times better than those playboys who only know how to cause trouble.
"Xiao Yu, come to the house of the uncle more often when you have nothing to do. Our two homes are close anyway." The look that Jiang Ancheng gave Yu Jin could almost be described as "loving."
Yu Jin was delighted and took advantage of the situation: "As long as uncle doesn't mind my nephew bothering me, that's fine."
I didn't expect that saving Jiang Zhan would bring me such a big reward. It was such a pleasant surprise.
Jiang Ancheng's face turned serious: "What are you talking about! If Jiang Zhan only made friends like you, then I can rest assured."
The two of them completely ignored Jiang Zhan and chatted for a long time before Jiang Ancheng said goodbye.
Yu Jin sent Jiang Ancheng to the gate and watched him walk away.
Jiang Zhan, who stayed behind, sighed: "Brother Yu Qi, my father probably wants you to be his son more than me."
Yu Jin smiled meaningfully.
The son-in-law is also half a son, and he has full confidence in being a good son.
Well, of course the most important thing is to thank Jiang Zhan, my son, for his support - Yu Jin thought unkindly.
The two returned to the courtyard, and Jiang Zhan drank two cups of tea in a row.
Yu Jin smiled and said, "You drank too much wine, so you're drinking tea instead?"
Jiang Zhan lifted his eyelids and glanced at Yu Jin, then said seriously, "Brother Yu Qi, I don't want to continue living like before, please help me with some advice."
"What are your plans?"
Jiang Zhan shook his head, a little bewildered: "I am not good at studying. Going to school every day is just a waste of time, but I can't think of what to do. Brother Yu Qi, you know my temper. Even if I do business, I will mess it up."
"Why don't you go to the guard post, Jiang Erdi?"
Jiang Zhan's eyes lit up, but he soon lost his temper: "The people in the Changyingwei family will not agree to let me go. If I want to join the Imperial Guard, I need to use connections-"
"Why don't I ask for you?"
"Brother Yu Qi knows someone?"
Yu Jin smiled and said, "By chance, I have made some useful friends. Anyway, I will give it a try first."
"Thank you, Brother Yu Qi." Jiang Zhan's heavy mood eased a little. Of course, it would take some time to recover from the huge blow of being taken advantage of by a man.
Jiang Ancheng had a long talk with Yu Jin and returned home in a good mood, but one person was in a terrible mood.
Mr. Jiang Er came back from the Minister of Rites' residence in a state of disgrace.
