On the day of my tragic death, I was reborn and married to the Regent
Chapter 139: Really Brainless
Jiang Nian came out of the teahouse and it started snowing outside again. Suddenly, he didn't want to rush back anymore.
Since I came back, I have never really seen the scenery of the capital.
"Girl, let's just walk for a while, it's cold outside." Amber reminded.
Jiang Nian glanced at her sideways: "I know, you are more nagging than my mother."
Although the weather was cold, the streets were bustling. It was almost the end of the year, and people were going out to buy things.
After walking two streets, Jiang Nianben was planning to go back, but who would have thought that the more he hated something, the more it would happen.
"Hey, isn't that Jiang Nian?" The man glanced behind her and challenged her, "What? Are you so poor now? You can't even afford a carriage? And you're walking?"
Yan Qingsong sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain, looked down at everyone, and looked like he deserved a beating.
As soon as the words fell, a woman next to Yan Qingsong poked her head out: "What's wrong?"
A strange woman, probably Yan Qingsong's new concubine.
Since Lord Yan was reinstated, although the Yan family still has a bad reputation, there are still many people who try to curry favor with them.
It is impossible for Yan Qingsong to marry a wife from a good family, but if he only wants to continue the family line, there are still many small families willing to marry him.
Madam Yan is so picky that if the woman's family background is not good, she will not consider those of low status even if she does not want to marry her son.
Fortunately, Yan Qingsong has no wife, so even if she is a concubine, as long as she gives birth to a grandson for the Yan family, she can do whatever she wants in the Yan family.
I heard that Madam Yan didn't dare to make it public, and secretly took five or six concubines for her son within half a month, and she was not afraid of exhausting her son to death.
But it has been so long, and there are so many people, but no one has made any movement.
It’s not that Jiang Nian cursed them, but that a family without virtue does not deserve to have descendants.
As for the Zhao family, she didn't have time to take care of them these days, so she asked her family to comfort them first.
Later, the Prince of Yan was imprisoned, and it was said that he never came to visit the Jiang family once. Did he think that the Prince of Yan had fallen and the Jiang family was useless, so he didn't want to get close to them anymore?
Jiang Nian didn't think so. The person behind the scenes was very busy recently and had no time to take care of the Jiang family.
However, she has already sent people to keep an eye on it. Now that Prince Yan has gone to war, if the war in the northern border goes smoothly, the emperor will not punish Prince Yan directly for the sake of his reputation. Prince Yan's mansion should be bustling for a while.
By then, the Zhao family will probably come again.
When Jiang Nian thought of the people behind the Zhao family, his eyes turned cold when he looked at Yan Qingsong.
Jiang Nian sighed, "Yes, our Prince Yan's Mansion is indeed not as good as your Yan family. His Highness Prince Yan is frugal, and the people in our mansion also uphold good habits. Unlike Master Yan, he has a huge fortune and no worries about food and clothing. He has everything he wants. I really envy him."
Hearing this, Yan Qingsong was extremely proud, his nose turned up high, and he sneered: "I asked you to be my concubine, but you refused and even instigated Miss Zheng Er to divorce me. Jiang Nian, you have come to this day?"
As he said that, he turned around and went back into the car, did something, took out a wooden box, opened it and was about to show it to Jiang Nian. The women around him did not try to stop him.
"See? These jewels were all bought by me. Even if I were your concubine, I would have lived a better life than you. I have plenty of money. You were arrogant in the past, but even if you regret it now, I won't even look at you."
Jiang Nian was surprised, his face full of envy: "Master Yan is really generous. Just one hairpin must be worth several hundred taels, and the head ornaments, my God, the things in the box alone must be several thousand taels!"
Jiang Nian's voice was quite loud and attracted quite a few onlookers.
Hearing that it was so expensive, I couldn't help but stop and take a look at what such expensive jewelry looked like.
Although Yan Qingsong looked down on Jiang Nian's family background, he was quite satisfied with Jiang Nian's face.
If Jiang Nian was willing to be his concubine, Yan Qingsong would be happy with it for a few months, but Yan Qingsong blamed everything on the divorce with Miss Zheng Er last time.
Originally, the two of them were incompatible, but, as the saying goes, what you can't get is the best. As long as he didn't get Jiang Nian for one day, he would feel itchy in his heart. To have Jiang Nian, who had never chosen him, hold him in such a way, Yan Qingsong felt that he was the winner in life at this moment.
At this moment, Yan Qingsong, looking at Jiang Nian's charming face, had already forgotten the woman beside him in his heart. He only thought that Jiang Nian regretted it, and who knew how much he admired him in his heart.
Seeing that the people around him came to see what he had in his hands, he was afraid that they might not see it, so he even jumped off his horse for everyone to see.
"This is just a part of it. I have many more boxes like this."
Jiang Nian was delighted. It had to be said that Yan Qingsong was indeed stupid.
If he didn't take the initiative to talk to her today, Jiang Nian wouldn't want to cause trouble for herself, but he was looking for trouble with her, how could she let him go?
Lord Yan has been keeping a low profile for many years and has a very good reputation in the court. It is unfortunate for him to have such a son.
Yan Qingsong looked at her through the crowd, and he was almost floating with pride, as if he was showing off to Jiang Nian, "This young master is so charming and dashing, it would be a loss if he didn't choose me."
Jiang Nian smiled, turned around and left with Amber.
Yan Qingsong wanted to chase after him, but there were many people around him, so he couldn't leave and could only let Jiang Nian disappear from his sight.
The news that the young master of the Yan family flaunted his wealth in the street spread quickly and reached the palace before dark.
He spent several thousand taels of silver to buy a jewelry box for me, and he said that there were many boxes like that. What did he mean? Isn't it just that the Yan family is rich?
The imperial court has been fighting wars on three fronts recently and is short of money.
The war situation in the south and north is tense. In addition to military pay, there is also food and fodder. Now it is winter and food prices are rising. Even clothing and food are a big expense.
Not to mention that the situation in the west is still uncertain. Even if there is no war, the soldiers will still have to spend money.
I heard that the Ministry of Revenue could no longer allocate money, and even the national treasury had little left. In this situation, officials in the court all donated generously, willing to help as much as they could.
The Yan family also contributed several hundred taels of silver.
But this silver is not as much as the set of jewelry that Yan's son bought for his concubine.
How could the emperor be happy?
In the evening, news came from outside that the Minister of Personnel and the Vice Minister of Personnel had been summoned into the palace.
It was not until midnight that the Shangshu came out with a grim look on his face. As for Lord Yan, he was detained in the palace for a whole night and was not released until the next morning.
No one knows what happened in the palace. We only know that Lord Yan was sent back by the eunuchs in the palace. When those eunuchs returned to the palace, they carried dozens of large and small boxes.
Lord Yan took leave, and Yan Qingsong never showed up again from that day on.
Show off, isn't the Yan family rich? It's just right to help Daqi. The emperor must be very angry. This time the Yan family will bleed heavily.
Anyway, the emperor will only keep Lord Yan's official position, and he won't care about the money.
Right now, the war at the border is the most important thing, everything else has to take a back seat.
