So in the past few days, there was a lot of traffic in front of the Jiangfu's gate, and they all came to curry favor with Jiang Quan.

Jiang Quan secretly wiped off his sweat. The whole family of the Chancellor's Mansion had already been imprisoned. This matter was more or less ominous. But the Eighth Prince's power was damaged, and at this moment, the court did not dare to act rashly, and even the Xia family was silent.

The Jiang family relies on the Xia family, and the Xia family relies on Ye Li. If there is any problem with Ye Li, the Jiang family will naturally have no future. Jiang Quanben was worried about this matter, but Jiang Xinzhi was killed halfway, which made the Jiangfu, which was already on the verge of collapsing, bloom like a brocade.

While socializing with his colleagues who came to curry favor, his heart was very complicated. If it is Jiang Chao who brought glory to the Jiang family, that's all, but it is Jiang Xinzhi. It seems that Jiang Xinzhi has indeed brought a lot of benefits to the Jiang Mansion now, but he was defiant as soon as he came back. If he really got the emperor's other eyes, wouldn't he be in the Jiang Mansion in the future? The eldest son of the direct line did not take him seriously in the past, and now things are getting worse day by day. If all the Jiang family property falls into his hands in the future, there will be no room for Jiang Chao and Jiang Susu. Thinking of this, a trace of gloom flashed across Jiang Quan's eyes.

Jiang Quan was in a complicated mood, and someone was in a worse mood than him. A few days after the Pochang Reservoir incident, the number of broken cups and saucers in Yanhuayuan and Suxinyuan increased rapidly. Xia Yan happened to be ill in bed due to the wind and cold, and the servants in the mansion whispered that Xia Yan was made ill by Jiang Xinzhi's another meritorious service.

The more rumors spread, somehow they spread to the streets and alleys of the capital, and everyone started talking about it, saying, look, it turns out that Xia Yan, a talented girl who was famous in the capital, would inevitably become a jealous woman with a small belly after entering the mansion. On weekdays, the dignified and generous attitude, tolerant and generous attitude is all just pretending. Otherwise, as soon as Young Master Jiang made meritorious service, why would he become so angry and sick?

These words were passed back and forth, and finally passed back to Jiang's residence. Almost the next day, Xia Yan recovered from his illness.

Xia Yan recovered from his illness, but Jiang Chao fell ill again, and locked himself in the courtyard.

Even the main house became like this, so other aunts and daughters in Jiang's mansion showed a little bit of taboo when they met Jiang Ruan.

Regardless of the attitudes of others in Jiang's residence, Jiang Xinzhi's brother and sister are content. If there is one person in the residence who is happy, it is Mrs. Jiang.

Mrs. Jiang has been lingering on the sick bed. After all, she is a sixtieth person, and her illness comes and goes like a thread. She is very happy to hear that Jiang Xinzhi has been promoted to lieutenant general. But after Jiang Xinzhi returned to Beijing, the army was busy with affairs, Mrs. Jiang was not in good health, and she was able to walk in the field for a day, so she couldn't wait to call Jiang Ruan and her sister to come.

In Guilan Courtyard, Mrs. Jiang looked at the handsome young man in front of her with satisfaction. She is getting old, and the most beloved in the past was Jiang Chao who was raised by her since she was a child, but recently Jiang Chao has disappointed her frequently, but it is this Jiang Xinzhi who suddenly won the battle and returned to Beijing, which made her look at him with admiration.

Compared with Mrs. Jiang's enthusiasm, Jiang Xinzhi seemed polite and unfamiliar. There is more than politeness, but not enough intimacy. After coming and going, Mrs. Jiang also saw Jiang Xinzhi's attitude, and her face gradually became not as kind as before.

And Jiang Xinzhi is also a person who has been honed in the army, and he turned a blind eye to Mrs. Jiang's deliberate silence, let alone Jiang Ruan, who only smiled and said nothing. Mrs. Jiang reminded Jiang Xinzhi to help the Jiang family more openly and secretly. If possible, he would also help Jiang Chao. He will inherit the Jiang family in the future. Jiang Chao is his younger brother anyway.

Jiang Xinzhi pushed back the words calmly, practiced Tai Chi, and finally didn't agree to anything.

Mrs. Jiang was extremely shrewd all her life, and she was naturally a little unhappy when she met Jiang Ruan and her two brothers and sisters who were so reclusive, and after a few more pleasantries, her attitude gradually cooled down. He waved his hand and said he was sleepy.

After Jiang Ruan left, she said to Cai Que beside her, "I thought it was a treasure, but it turned out to be someone who doesn't know current affairs."

"The eldest young master has a grudge against his wife. After this period of resentment, it will be fine, and we are still a family anyway." Cai Que persuaded.

"Where is resentment, it is clearly enmity." Mrs. Jiang sighed deeply: "Let them make trouble, Xia Yan should suffer too." Although she loves Jiang Chao, it is not because of Jiang Chao. After all, Jiang Quan is not her own, she just needs to protect the glory of the Jiang family. It doesn't make any difference to her whether Jiang Chao or Jiang Xinzhi will be the future head of the Jiang family.

...

Jiang Ruan and Jiang Xinzhi walked out of Guilan Courtyard, Jiang Ruan said: "Grandmother must be angry with you."

"I don't care about the position of the Jiang family." Jiang Xinzhi's voice was deep and liao: "Don't even ask for help."

"It's better not to have to." Jiang Ruan said with a smile.

Because of the Chiang Mansion, it will collapse in the future. Dying people, why bother to live a life full of flowers.

Just as she was talking, she saw a trace of clothes showing from the garden. Jiang Ruan smiled slightly, and suddenly raised her voice: "Since grandma wants to admit that elder brother is the head of the family, it is naturally grandma's wish. Eldest brother must think carefully."

Jiang Xinzhi was slightly surprised, seeing Jiang Ruan's expression seemed to understand something, then smiled and said: "Exactly."

The corner of the clothes flashed in the flowers, Jiang Ruan and Jiang Xinzhi looked at each other and smiled.

...

The two brothers and sisters in the Jiang family are leisurely and leisurely, and naturally there are people who are not so leisurely. For example, the prime minister's mansion that was sealed up, and the Li family who were imprisoned.

All the people in the prime minister's mansion were arrested by officials and sent to jail, but Li An was the only one left out. The second young master of the Li family absconded in fear of the crime, and the entire capital searched and arrested, but no sign of him was found. This is a major event in Beijing, so there are police officers searching for people in Beijing every day.

The Second Young Master of Li's Mansion was extremely clever since he was a child, but he didn't know where he was hiding, but he was cautious, afraid that he might be caught so easily.

And in the alleys of the poor in the capital city, a dirty inn was crumbling, the roof of the inn had been knocked down in half by days of rain. In the precarious wind and rain, it seems that the inn will collapse in the next second.

A man in gray came in, and the shopkeeper was resting on the table. He didn't expect someone else to come at this hour, so he hurriedly greeted him politely: "Objective, do you want to stay in the store or eat?"

"A middle room." The man in gray took out a small piece of broken silver: "The food will be delivered to the room." After saying that, he lifted his feet and went upstairs. The inn has been in disrepair for a long time, and it is located in a dark alley in a slum. The rich disdain to live in such a shop, and the poor have no money to live in such a shop. So there are very few customers in the store.

The shopkeeper responded with a smile, and went upstairs to find a room for the man in gray.

After finding the house, the shopkeeper went downstairs, the man in gray closed the door, and slowly took off his dusty coat. Under the dirty coat, there was a handsome face, but the expression was somewhat ferocious and gloomy. .

This person is Li An.

Li An, who has always been extremely smart and proud, now can only hide in Tibet like a stray dog, evading the pursuit of the government. Ever since he was a child, everyone has praised him, saying that he is the hope of the prime minister's mansion. He disdains Li Yang's dandy who sleeps in flowers and sleeps in willows, and he also looks down on Li Dong who only knows how to enjoy himself all day long.
