Chapter 198 Fate Matching
Who is this Jiang Junli? Why did he offer a manor house?
And just to thank him for these two small cans of tea?
"Brother Jiang, you are too polite..." Song Jingyun hastily declined.
"If you don't accept it, you'd be too polite." Jiang Junli said, "To be honest, Brother Song, this farm is really not that big. It's just an ordinary farm with 200 acres of paddy fields. I can only grow rice and other crops. There is not much output on weekdays. I was worried about what to do with it. Brother Song, if you accept it today, it can be regarded as helping me solve the problem."
Song Jingyun, "..."
Jiang Mixia, "..."
The legendary inhumane rich man? "But this thing is too valuable. I really can't accept it." Song Jingyun still refused to accept it.
"This tea is rare outside. I smelled it just now and it has a fresh fragrance. I think it is a rare tea. I like it very much. I like this kind of thing. If you think it is worth it, then it is worth it. You don't have to care what price others offer."
Jiang Junli said, "Brother Song is very talented. In my opinion, he will definitely win the first prize in this autumn's imperial examination. When Brother Song becomes a juren, many people will come to curry favor with him. I'm afraid it won't be my turn to curry favor with them. I'm sending some gifts in advance, and I think it's a good relationship between me and Brother Song."
"Also, I heard from others that Brother Song seems to have quite some insights into this year's current affairs policy. I would also like to ask for your advice to see if it can be of any help. All this can be considered as tuition fees."
In short, you must collect it.
Without waiting for Song Jingyun to answer, Jiang Junli had already instructed Xinghe, "Have someone bring the land deed and other things from the manor over here, and transfer it directly to Mr. Song's name."
"Yes." Xinghe ran out quickly.
Song Jingyun, "..."
Jiang Mixia, "..."
Speechless three times!
In this short while, he already had one more farm under his name.
Moreover, the area of the farm was much larger than the previous one his family had.
After Jiang Junli left, Jiang Mixia closed the door and thought, "Last time, someone gave me a piece of jadeite for no apparent reason. Could it be that it was also given by this Jiang Langjun?"
After all, that piece of jade is very valuable. Among the people around, the only one who can spend so generously is Jiang Junli.
"Maybe?" Song Jingyun scratched his ear, "But that's fine."
"What do you mean?" Jiang Mixia was a little confused.
"That's good. I get so many things for free." Song Jingyun smiled mischievously.
Jiang Mixia rolled her eyes at Song Jingyun.
They got so many things for free, but as the saying goes, one cannot receive gifts without merit. If one thinks about it carefully, they don't have a very deep friendship with Jiang Junli, and there is no benefit that Jiang Junli can gain. They feel a little uneasy about accepting so many valuable things.
"Young lady, don't think too much about it." Xun Yuanbo consoled with a smile, "After all, Jiang Junli should be the legitimate son of the Jiang family. This little bit of money is just daily pocket money. He won't take it seriously."
A farm with more than 200 acres of paddy fields and such a large piece of jadeite raw stone, is it just pocket money?
Jiang Mixia's eyes widened. "Is the Jiang family very wealthy?"
"It can no longer be described as very wealthy, it must be quite wealthy!"
Xun Yuanbai stroked his beard and said, "It's not an exaggeration to say that we are rich enough to rival a country. The reason why our dynasty was able to unify the world and maintain peace and stability on the borders after its establishment is partly because the Jiang family took out all the wealth of the family to pay the founding ancestor."
"The Jiang family started out as a businessman a few years ago. After they had a certain amount of family business, they urged some of their descendants to continue doing business to make money, while others were urged to study hard and become officials, in order to achieve the goal of using wealth to support their studies and becoming officials to maintain their wealth."
"After more than a hundred years, the Jiang family has grown into a powerful clan. The number of members in the direct and collateral branches has reached several thousand. Their business is spread all over the country, and they have deep connections in the government, becoming the number one clan."
"But after supporting Taizu to ascend the throne, the Jiang family has been much more low-key than before, and politely declined the title of king of a different surname given by Taizu, probably to avoid suspicion, and only focused on business. The Jiang family's children are still diligent in studying and working hard for the imperial examinations, but they are not as clique-like and aggressive as before."
"The Grand Ancestor was kind and grateful, and granted the Jiang family a death penalty token. All the Jiang family heads or future heads of the family can be exempted from the death penalty. When the court recruited people, it also took good care of the Jiang family's side branches. Today, the Jiang family is still not inferior at all."
"But in recent years, I have heard that the eldest son of the Jiang family is not doing his job properly and is not interested in the family business. He spends money without hesitation and is obsessed with taking the imperial examination to become an ordinary official and benefit the people. He also wants to get rid of his identity as the future head of the Jiang family. This eldest son is probably Jiang Junli."
"The Jiang family is wealthy. It is said that when Jiang Junli was at home, his daily food and clothing expenses exceeded a thousand taels of silver, not to mention the expenses when he went out for fun. So this little bit of stuff is just pocket money for him. You don't have to mind it, young lady."
I see!
He is a wealthy son of a landlord, just here to spend a few coins.
Jiang Mixia felt a little more at ease after learning the reason and breathed a sigh of relief.
"But..." Xun Yuanbai paused.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Mixia raised her eyebrows, "Is there anything wrong?"
"There's nothing wrong with it. It's just that since this person was born into such a noble family, his fate is naturally different and much stronger than that of ordinary people. But I think Jiang Junli's fate seems to be very compatible with that of the young master."
Xun Yuanbo stroked his beard again as he spoke.
Jiang Mixia tilted her head in surprise, "What does it mean that our fates are compatible?"
"What it means is that these two people's destinies help each other. If they become good friends, their original destinies will be further strengthened." Xun Yuanbo replied.
Will it be enhanced? The luck of the young son-in-law is particularly good, could it be that his luck will be better? As for Jiang Junli, he should be born with a rich fate, which means he will have more money? Jiang Mixia scratched his head.
Song Jingyun was a little sleepy after listening to this, and he rubbed his stomach, "Madam, we've been talking for so long, I'm hungry, let's get some food."
"Okay." Jiang Mixia nodded, "What do you want to eat?"
"I want to eat Shengjian, with some thick mutton bone soup." Song Jingyun said with a dejected look, "But I asked the waiter before, and he said that the inn doesn't make Shengjian, and there's no mutton bone soup to drink..."
I really want to have a friend like Jiang Junli...
