Chapter 332 Jiang Aonan's Visit
When Jiang Huaian came back, he looked much happier. Thinking about what he had promised Li Juaner in the morning, he went straight to Li Juaner's yard.
Li Juan'er had already prepared the food. In the morning, Jiang Huaian said he would come in the evening, so she kept the food warm in the pot. As soon as Jiang Huaian came back, she immediately had someone bring the food.
"Jiang Lang looks much more energetic than this morning. Did something good happen to him today?" Li Juan'er patted his shoulder and said with a smile on her face.
Jiang Huaian was indeed very happy today, because when he went out today, he met an acquaintance who introduced him to a big deal. So he was very happy, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief!
At this time, the food came up, and Jiang Huaian pulled Li Juaner to sit down.
Li Juan'er was still looking at him with a smile, waiting for his reply.
Jiang Huaian didn't keep it a secret: "Today, an acquaintance of mine introduced me to a big deal, and our family finally made it through."
Li Juaner's eyes lit up: "Jiang Lang, you are so amazing! I knew that Jiang Lang must be the best..."
Li Juaner kept praising me as if I didn't care about anything.
These words touched Jiang Huaian's heart, and it seemed that all the unpleasantness of yesterday was forgotten by him.
The two were eating when a maid came and whispered something in Li Juan'er's ear. Li Juan'er frowned slightly and said to the maid, "Okay, go down. This must not be known to others."
The maid bowed respectfully and then left.
Li Juaner looked at the maid in the room and said, "You guys go down too."
After everyone left, Jiang Huaian looked at Li Juaner in surprise: "What happened?"
Li Juaner looked at Jiang Huaian and said timidly: "Jiang Lang, there is something I want to tell you, please don't be angry."
Jiang Huaian put down his chopsticks and looked at her: "You say."
"Just now the maid said that today, she saw Zhang Xiaoxiao in the Madam's room acting suspiciously, so she followed her and found out that she was taking a bundle to the pawnshop."
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a "bang!" sound. It was the sound of Jiang Huaian slamming the table in anger. The soup on the table spilled out and splashed onto Jiang Huaian and Li Juaner's hands.
Li Juan'er was obviously startled, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief from her sleeve to wipe Jiang Huaian's hands: "Hey, Jiang Lang, don't be angry."
"This bitch!" Jiang Huaian cursed.
He took the handkerchief from Li Juaner, wiped himself with it, then threw it away, got up and went out.
"Jiang Lang, where are you going?"
"Of course I'll go settle the score with that bitch."
Li Juaner's face flashed a barely perceptible smile, but she immediately put on a concerned expression and hurriedly followed him, saying, "Jiang Lang, don't be too angry. I think the lady may have been bewitched for a while. She must have no second thoughts about Jiang Lang..."
While pretending to be "concerned", she followed Jiang Huaian to Li Qiuhe's yard.
......
On the other hand, Xie Jiaojiao and Jiang Weinan were originally going to He's house, but they were delayed because they met an acquaintance in Xiangyuan Building. After all, this acquaintance was none other than Jiang Aonan, Jiang Weinan's cousin.
"Cousin, why are you here?" Jiang Weinan and Xie Jiaojiao saw him as soon as they entered Xiangyuan Tower and were very surprised.
Jiang Aonan looked at them and smiled warmly: "I've been waiting for you for a long time. I went to your house but you said you weren't there, so I thought of coming here to take a look."
The two nodded and hurriedly asked him if he had had lunch.
Jiang Aonan waved his hands quickly: "I have eaten. I am here for official business. Isn't there a flood in the south? I am here to transport the food and money for the disaster relief. I passed by here and told you a good news."
The flood has been over for such a long time, and the capital is only sending people now?
"What good news?" Jiang Weinan was only interested in this.
Jiang Aonan kept it a secret at first, but when he saw Jiang Weinan getting anxious, he smiled and said, "Your elder sister is pregnant."
Jiang Weinan's eyes lit up and he looked at Xie Jiaojiao: "Really!"
Jiang Aonan nodded. It was not easy for Jiang Linglong to be pregnant this time. The eldest prince did not have any real power in the dynasty, but not having real power did not mean that no one would harm you, especially since he married the prime minister's daughter. In the eyes of many people, he became a thorn in the eyes.
Having said that, he patted them on the shoulder and said, "You guys should speed up too."
Xie Jiaojiao felt a little embarrassed, but Jiang Weinan didn't think it was a big deal.
Trying to change the subject, Xie Jiaojiao asked, "Brother, it's been such a long time since the flood, why is the relief money from the court only coming now?"
Seeing Xie Jiaojiao asking this, Jiang Aonan couldn't help but look at her.
Finally he said, "It's not easy to talk here. Let's find a place to sit down and talk in detail."
When Xie Jiaojiao saw his expression, she turned around and asked Chen Pi to arrange a private room for them.
The waiter brought up a pot of tea and then left.
Jiang Weinan asked Lai Fu to guard the door.
Seeing that there were only three of them in the room, Jiang Aonan said solemnly, "There are some things that you may not understand even if I tell you. The political situation is turbulent now, especially after your eldest sister married the eldest prince, there have been many changes, and the situation in the court has changed again and again. Even the allocation of the grain funds for disaster relief this time was not easy. And I have encountered many difficulties along the way..."
After Jiang Aonan finished speaking, Jiang Weinan's face became solemn. Although he was not familiar with the affairs of the court due to the many years of exposure, he had heard a lot in the past and could understand some of it.
"My uncle must be having a hard time in the court right now, right? And my elder sister, is she safe?"
Xie Jiaojiao didn't understand these things, but when she heard Jiang Weinan asking about Jiang Linglong, she couldn't help but feel a little worried and looked at Jiang Aonan.
Jiang Aonan patted Jiang Weinan's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Weinan, everything can be divided into two situations. First, if you take the initiative to attack, you must have the courage to gamble if you want to gain something; second, if you are forced into a desperate situation, you must also have the determination to burn your boats. Now our family has encountered both situations."
At this point, he paused for a moment and said, "The court is unpredictable. If one day, I mean if, your uncle fails, you must protect yourselves. If you encounter any difficulties at that time, you can ask Qin Fang for help."
These words made Xie Jiaojiao and Jiang Weinan feel even more uncomfortable.
"Brother, is the situation so tense now?" Jiang Weinan asked with concern.
Jiang Aonan patted his shoulder and said in a relaxed tone, "Don't be so nervous. If something really happens, your uncle will definitely get you all out, and so will grandfather. But you must remember what I just said. If you find anything wrong, you must go find Qin Fang! He is your uncle's direct disciple, and he will definitely protect you when the time comes."
Although Jiang Aonan said it lightly, Jiang Weinan felt heavy in his heart: "Then big brother, when are you leaving? I'll have someone prepare some things for you."
Jiang Aonan pondered for a moment and said, "You don't need to prepare anything. I took a risk to come to see you this time because I was afraid someone would target you. The relief money has arrived, and Qin Fang will naturally know how to arrange it. I will be returning to Beijing tonight, so I must not be too conspicuous on the road."
So fast!
The last time he came was just a quick visit, and this time it was the same.
