It's hard to be a prodigal

Good things don't go out, bad things pass thousands of miles.

The young masters of Jiang Le's two families were aroused by the meddling in the Yingchun Building. The third master Le was so angry that he had no face to stay any longer. The two uncles of the Jiang family were even more frustrated. The slap didn't hit Jiang Zong's face.

Hurriedly passing through the boiling corridor, Jiang Zong avoided the eyes of cursing or mocking in annoyance, turned into the dark narrow alley alone, and rested his breath against the wall.

How many years has it been since Jiang Zong was pointed at his nose and scolded bloody?

The familiar accusations made Jiang Zong slightly sober.

In the previous life, Le Lian probably anticipated the situation today, so he refused to approach him.I don't know if it's to protect myself or others, but at least it won't make Jiang Zong so embarrassed.

To this day, Jiang Zong has to admit that even if he is an incompatible opponent, he still has an inexplicable dependence on Lelian, because this person is calm and capable, and he will never let him get hurt or let him go Wronged.

Jiang Zong got used to the scene when Le Lian was by his side.

He and Lelian are like a tree hanging from vines. He clings to Lelian. Even though the giant tree competes with him for sunshine and rain from time to time, its steady branches still protect him. Time has passed, and in this life, Lelian is still a young bud. Son, if Jiang Zong is required to lie in the mud and hold an umbrella to protect him from the wind and rain, he will not owe anything.

I died too early in my previous life, I don't know what happened later.

He and Le Lian, it can be said that they will never see each other again.

"Brother Zong!"

Jiang Zong turned his head, and Le Lian was standing at the entrance of the alley panting and leaning on the wall, the moonlight was dim, and there were still red and swollen palm marks on his cheeks.

The young man's eyes were terrified, he took two steps forward and didn't dare to get any closer, panting slightly, he said in shame, "Brother Zong...I'm the one who troubled you."

Jiang Zong never thought that this was something worth spending his time to personally apologize to himself. He turned around and said with a casual smile, "Baby, there are so many people in the world, whoever you want to pick up on the street and ask the bottom line If you check him, there will always be big or small stains, but they just can justifiably condescend to accuse others of their flaws."

"Only if you are so powerful that you turn your hand into clouds and your hands into rain, can you shut their mouths. The eyes of others are the most useless thing. Even if they dare not speak out, you will be the winner. The money will be yours. Fame and fortune will be yours." It’s yours, and power is yours, and you can get what you want.”

"The reason why the loser is always the loser is because I have no ability. I only prepare two catties of spittle and start to swear at the next unlucky winner. What are you afraid of? Follow me, and within three years I will make you worth thousands of dollars." fan."

Jiang Zong stretched out his hand to him: "Come here, come to me."

Le Lian didn't move, and said softly, "I'll stay away from you. When I have money, fame and power, I'll come back to you."

Jiang Zong's face turned cold, he raised his eyes and asked, "What did you say?"

Le Lian replied, "I'll go."

In fact, what Jin Shuishan taught him this month is enough, Le Lian's talent is not inferior to Jiang Zong, if he doesn't let go, he will become mediocre instead.

Jiang Zong was silent for a while, then suddenly sneered, raised his hand towards him, with the sapphire earring hanging on his fingertips, turned it around, and threw it back to Le Lian: "Then take it and get out."

Le Lian took two steps forward, took off the still warm earrings, held them tightly in the palm of his hand, and pressed them to his heart. The beating heart made his mouth dry, his legs were so stiff that he almost lost consciousness, and his hands trembling.

He saw the beauty under the moonlight turning around to leave him a back view, and in an instant, countless fragmentary memories flooded his mind.

Le Lian growled at him, and shouted stubbornly with a still immature voice:

"Brother Zong! I have loved you for 13 years!"

The air around him suddenly froze, and a rush of hot blood rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of Jiang Zong's head.

The brave puppy raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Zong hazy with water vapor. His eyes were like an abyss, filled with endless desire to pray.

This glance seemed to soak the insincere love from the previous life into Jiang Zong's dry heart through ten years.

If Le Lian's eyes were one-tenth as enthusiastic as they are now, Jiang Zong could not care about the world's insults and hugged that indifferent man, intertwined with him, let him hear his heart beating fast, and told him: I have a crush on you.

What is the matter of enmity and entanglement between the two generations, but a single mistake can last through the ages, intoxicated and hesitant, I don't know.

Jiang Zong was silent for a while, then looked up, Le Lian had disappeared.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't make any sound of convincing.

"It's just a child." Jiang Zong thought to himself.

As soon as he got involved with himself, he wished he could go away and cut off contact with him immediately. This appearance of retiring from the world was exactly the same as in the previous life.

Why should he suffer the same injury twice.

-

Back at the Jiang family compound, the second uncle and the third uncle naturally didn't look good on Jiang Zong, threw down the contract paper signed with Le's family, and said angrily: "You take care of the honey business you took on yourself, don't Let me and your third uncle wipe your ass." Then he left angrily.

Jiang Zong was sitting in the lobby drinking tea, the hall was empty, even Gu Duo'er, the most favored little girl, was kicked out, and the maids and servants didn't dare to touch Jiang Zong's bad luck, when they saw Jiang Heng came back, they begged The young master went to persuade him.

Jiang Heng was even more anxious. When this incident happened, Jiang Zong's reputation was simply notorious. He had a bad reputation in the first place. These days, he just got some improvement, but suddenly fell back to the bottom, which must have affected the business of the pawnshop.

He pushed the door angrily and entered, Jiang Zong was squatting on the chair, staring at the ground in a daze.

"... Sigh." Jiang Heng suddenly had to soften his heart again, and he couldn't bear to let out the anger just now, so he sat down beside Jiang Zong, drinking tea to moisten his smoky throat .

"You, aren't you injured?" Jiang Heng was not at ease, he glanced at his brother from time to time, thinking about Le Lian's sinister appearance holding a knife all day, if he really raped his brother, it is not impossible.

Jiang Zong snorted and laughed: "Little nerd, did you peek at the little book next to my bed? Even Long Yang Huanhao understands."

"Who looks at those!" Jiang Heng blushed, stammered for a long time, and said awkwardly, "You, you and Le Jia... It's not convenient to see each other these days, so we don't see each other. If we have something to say, I'll send him a letter. .”

Jiang Zong slightly raised his eyebrows, licked his lips and looked up and down at his little brother.

Jiang Heng was dumbfounded by his brother's playful eyes, and stammered: "Don't, I, I'm your own brother...don't make any wrong decisions about me."

Jiang Zong laughed and rubbed his soft hair: "I don't like everything either."

"...You die!" Jiang Heng was so angry that he shook his hands and left.

"Don't go." Jiang Zong took out a few deed papers from his sleeve and threw them into Jiang Heng's arms, "This is fifty-nine thousand, six hundred taels of silver, and the deed paper for the beekeeping house."

Jiang Heng frantically picked up a few pieces of paper and flipped through them. He raised his head in surprise, and stared at Jiang Zong in a daze: "Didn't you say that there was a backlog of honey, did you lose all of it?"

Jiang Zong took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "There is no backlog, and there is no compensation. This is earned this year. Let's go buy candy beans."

Jiang Heng brought up an abacus, and after the calculation, the doubts in his eyes disappeared, and he looked at Jiang Zong in surprise.

"The accounts are all in your name, and it's all earned by you." Jiang Zong pointed to the account book and showed it to Jiang Heng, "You can find Le Lian tomorrow and give him a message."

"You still don't give up." Jiang Heng frowned.

Jiang Zong walked out of the lobby flicking his sleeves: "It's a small scene, why panic. Your brother has seen a lot of strong winds and waves, today is nothing."

Jiang Heng whispered: "You... really like Lelian."

"Hum." Jiang Zong laughed, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground quietly, and suddenly burst into several pieces.

Jiang Heng was startled, and shut his mouth embarrassingly.

-

Once the Dongchuang incident happened, the two families were bloody.

The Le family compound was also clouded, and the third master Le was furious, and all the family rules were directed at Le Lian, and he dealt a ruthless hand. Even a practicing family like Le Lian couldn't bear it. Under Mr. Le's feet, he gasped weakly, and the nearby ground was spattered with blood spots.

Le Sanye pointed at the gate of the house, his red eyes were wide open, and his eyes were about to burst: "Today, the face of the Le family compound has been completely lost by you, an unworthy bastard. From now on, you will have nothing to do with our Le family. Get out, and don't let me see you again." Seeing you, don't step into this house."

"Heh..." Le Lian lay on the ground exhausted, and said disdainfully, "Third Master, today is just an opportunity for you to find enough excuses to drive me away."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Le Sanye raised his hand and pulled down his stick, but Le didn't even move, looking at him coldly with bottomless eyes.

"She said my mother fell in love with you because she is too blind." Le Lian slowly got up, covered in blood, dripping down his fingertips when he stood up.

Le Sanye raised his hand to hit him, but Le Lian quickly grabbed the stick, the tip of the stick swept across his eyes, and suddenly stopped at Le Sanye's throat.

"Lejia has really supported me until now. The surplus of 3000 taels from the cloth workshop counts as the food, clothing and housing money I have returned. From now on, I will never step into the Lejia compound. Seeing is believing for all the uncles and aunts present. Lelian has severed ties with Lejia , no more contact."

Le Lian threw the stick, turned around and left the Le family compound without looking back.

The wooden stick fell to the ground with a clanging sound and broke in two.

-

Jiang Heng followed the note given by his brother to find Lelian's residence, and pushed open the dilapidated small door, there was a bloody smell in the room.

Le Lian lay on the bed, half asleep and half awake, opened his eyes slightly when he heard the movement, and saw that the person coming was not a threat, so he didn't bother to get up.

"...Why don't you go and see a doctor." Jiang Heng hurried to the bed with a small basket in his hand, opened the quilt and dragged Le Lian out, picked up a few bottles of medicine from the small basket, and poured it on On the wound on Lelian's chest.

Lelian looked at him coldly.

The little scholar has red lips and white teeth, thin and fair, this face is five points similar to Jiang Zong's, which makes Le Lian extremely jealous, but also reluctant to hate.

"Get out..." Le Lian was annoyed, and grabbed Jiang Heng's wrist, which made the little scholar's wrist turn red, and he gasped in pain.

"If my brother hadn't asked me to make this trip, what would I do if you died!" Jiang Heng pushed his hand away, and at least gave him some medicine, which was considered as the most benevolent act.

"This is the 10 taels of silver note that you loaned to our family. This is the deed paper of the Jinshuishan beekeeping house. Please make your fingerprint." Jiang Heng took a few pieces of paper and red ink paste from the small basket to Le Lian, "My brother said that every year, [-]% of the bonus, and no less than [-]%."

Le Lian glanced at the deed papers, and said lightly, "What else did he say?"

"My brother also said, when will you pay back the 10 taels, and when will you go to him." Jiang Heng, a little scholar, was also interesting. Although he didn't call him brother in front of Jiang Zong, he called him naturally and proudly behind his back.

Lelian's dim eyes suddenly brightened.

Jiang Heng said again: "My brother asked what flowers do you like?"

Le Lian was stunned for a while: "... plum, plum blossom."

The flowers of Gaoling are beyond reach.

Jiang Heng smiled suddenly: "Sure enough, he guessed this. He said that he seemed to have heard you say it in his previous life, so I don't believe it. He lied to me again. It just happened to be right." , "My brother is very angry. Last night he threw a cup and threw things to vent his anger on me. You are not allowed to provoke him again."

"..."

Le Lian bit his fingertips and pressed them on the deed paper.
