Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan
Chapter 96 Correspondence
Jiang Chen did not sleep all night and went to court the next day with huge dark circles under his eyes.
In his spare time, Jiang Chen kept thinking whether this letter was worthy of trust. The words in the letter were sincere, but the fact that everything was connected and put into action without leaving any trace did not seem like it was just for the purpose of recognizing relatives.
Jiang Chen's absent-mindedness attracted the attention of his mother, so one day, Jiang's mother asked Jiang Chen directly: "Brother Chen, I heard from Cungui that you have been burning candles late at night these days. Work is important, but you should take care of your health more!"
Jiang Chen looked at Jiang's mother's kind and concerned eyes, and then looked at her dense silver hair that had grown over the past month. Jiang Chen suddenly realized that Jiang's mother was no longer young.
That month, Jiang's mother fell ill, and the doctor also hinted to Jian Jiangchen that Jiang's mother had been too physically depleted when she was young. Although she took good care of herself later, she was still injured and her lifespan might be affected.
This made Jiang Chen feel a sense of urgency. If they had not found any news about his sister, he and his mother would not be so regretful. However, there were already clues, and he had even received a letter of recognition. Could his mother still wait for him to procrastinate and test the results?
Therefore, Jiang Chen had to bring up the pain they didn't want to recall, "Mother, if my sister was still alive, would we still look for her?"
Jiang's mother was shocked by this topic. She said insincerely, "The world is so big, how can I find someone whose appearance I can't even remember in such a huge crowd?"
Jiang Chen could understand what her mother meant. Although they were far apart, she didn't want to give up.
Just like that, Jiang Chen made his decision.
Uncle Wang, who hadn't been here for a few days, showed up at the casino again. Brother Liang, who had been wandering around the casino for the past few days, brightened up and walked over to chat with him: "Brother Wang, why haven't I seen you these days?"
Uncle Wang said apologetically, "The master has asked me to do some work these days, so how can I have time to come here? Look, I just got some free time, so I came here!"
Brother Liang put his arm around Uncle Wang's shoulder without any hesitation, "Then you have to treat me to a drink today! We won't leave until we're drunk!"
Uncle Wang smiled innocently, "Whatever you order, it's my treat!"
So the two men found a gambling table with empty seats and played for a while.
Both of them were lucky today and won a lot, so they ordered a lot of meat and a pot of good wine, and got together to eat and drink.
The place they chose was relatively secluded. While pouring wine and serving food, Uncle Wang handed a wax-sealed secret letter to Brother Liang.
Brother Liang put away the secret letter without hesitation and continued to talk to Uncle Wang about what happened at the gambling table.
When the time came, the two parted at the entrance of the casino.
Brother Liang alertly returned to Nanny Liang's residence and gave Nanny Liang the secret letter. Nanny Liang would use channels unknown to him to give the things to Liu Youyou.
This channel of contact with the outside world was managed by Ran Dong. She gave the things to Liu Youyou.
Liu Youyou asked her to guard the door while she opened the wax seal by herself.
The handwriting inside was not Jiang Chen's, or it didn't look like it was written by Jiang Chen.
Liu Youyou was impressed by her uncle's caution. Although she herself was no less cautious, the letter to Jiang Chen was written in the standard official font with her left hand, and it was impossible to find the person based on the handwriting.
In the letter, Jiang Chen wrote frankly,
It’s nice to see you writing to me. I wonder how you and your mother have been doing during these years since we last met?
I think it is not a good idea. As a concubine or a commoner, you can't avoid living under someone else's roof and having to depend on others for support.
It sounds a bit false to say that I feel heartbroken, but I still want to ask, why did you recognize your relatives?
Whatever the reason, I hope you can help your mother meet my mother.
My mother has not been in good health in recent years due to heart disease. If possible, I hope you and I can achieve this goal.
As for the rest, no matter what you want to do, I can't just take whatever you want from you just because of our blood relationship.
Liu Youyou read the letter and felt a little funny and a little sad. If it wasn't for his mother and sister, who else could Jiang Chen bow to?
However, at least he had already contacted Jiang Chen, and he had helped his aunt fulfill her wish. But he couldn't make this matter public now, and he had to think of a way to confirm the relationship in front of everyone. It was really tiring to go through each step.
So, she picked up a pen and wrote a small note, 'The situation is unclear, and you need to recognize your relatives in public, so don't make mistakes in a hurry.'
Then he burned Jiang Chen's secret letter with a candle, poured the ashes into a flowerpot and covered it with soil, only then did he feel relieved.
Jiang Chen outside the palace received the note and calmed down with a sense of purpose in his mind. Except for their doorman Uncle Wang who went to the casino from time to time, the Jiang family returned to its previous tranquility.
It was not until Li Guangdi returned to Beijing that Jiang Chen made new moves.
The memories ended and they returned to the study where Li Guangdi and Jiang Chen were talking.
Jiang Chen's ambition is not just passionate. With Liu Youyou as his partner, Jiang Chen has a vague idea. Since the current emperor is unreliable, he should support the new emperor. The adult emperor will not be influenced by him, so he should teach the new heir.
The Fourth Prince may not be so suitable, but the child born by Liu Youyou is Jiang Chen’s new political hope.
The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. If the Fourth Prince dies early, the country will be in turmoil with a young ruler. Is there any regent more suitable than myself?
At that time, I will assist the young emperor and realize my own ideals.
So what the teacher said about wanting to do the same thing as Cao was not wrong.
Li Guangdi saw Jiang Chen fell silent, but he was not in a hurry. Jiang Chen could tell him that he would definitely speak.
So, Li Guangdi tasted the tea carefully. Hmm, the tea soup was clear and the fragrance was strong before he took a sip. After he took a sip, the fragrance lingered on his lips and teeth, leaving an endless aftertaste.
Jiang Chen came back to his senses and was about to apologize to Li Guangdi, but he saw that Li Guangdi was concentrating on sipping his tea. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Are you not surprised at all that the student said such shocking words?"
Li Guangdi glanced at Jiang Chen with the eyes of a young man who couldn't calm down, and said, "The Qing Dynasty was founded only 50 years ago. Today, the south is still the territory of the Han people. I have traveled north and south for so many years, and I have entered the rebel camp and talked with those former Ming Dynasty veterans. What do you think of this?"
This made Jiang Chen feel a little helpless, as he thought Li Guangdi was loyal to the Qing Dynasty.
Li Guangdi lowered his eyes to look at the tea, and said quietly: "For a scholar like me, being crowned a king and a prime minister, and leaving a name in history is the right way. As for dynasties, how can there be an immortal dynasty? If it weren't for the foreign races moving into the Central Plains, do you believe that those scholars would have bowed down long ago?
Take the Kong family in Qufu for example. Wow, the family has been passed down to the 67th generation of Yansheng Duke. It is really ridiculous. "
Li Guangdi's family knows their own business. His goal is to rise to a high position and gain power, not to set a moral benchmark. As for the moral benchmark he set, Li Guangdi felt that he was already shameless enough, but he didn't expect that the benchmark was even more shameless. By comparison, he was nothing.
Jiang Chen collected his surprised thoughts and said a little embarrassedly: "I have some ideas. Please correct them, teacher."
Li Guangdi raised his eyebrows, waiting for Jiang Chen's words.
