It's hard to be a prodigal

Jiang Zong sat on his knees and held Le Lian's cheek carefully, while Le Lian sat obediently with his hands on Jiang Zong's waist.

"Brother, you've lost weight." Le Lian squeezed Jiang Zong's fat-free waist distressedly, and his hip bones became clearer because of the thinness.

"That's not for you to worry about." Jiang Zong pressed Le Lian into the mattress, "You are lying down, the wound has not healed yet, so stop jumping around. I'll get some stuttering."

Le Lian's gaze followed Jiang Zong's fragile body and staggered out of the small cabin door.

Not long after, Jiang Zong came in with a plate of vegetarian dishes and a plate of short ribs. He first removed a few small ribs for Le Lian and put them in a bowl, then he couldn't wait to have a bite of the meal.

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. There is nothing to eat in a small backwater village. Jiang Dashao Yang Diao’s delicate spleen and stomach are bloated by those rough foods, and it hurts badly after sitting for a while.

Le Lian just watched him eat, and occasionally gave him a piece of food with chopsticks.

"Boss Jane has come to see you for the past few days. I've finished negotiating the Youganlin business with him for you."

When changing Jiang Zong's clothes, he saw the contract falling out of his arms, and after careful thought, he could understand what Jiang Zong wanted. Jiang Zong returns.

When Jane was mentioned, Jiang Zong's face froze.

"He didn't say anything to you, right?" Jiang Zong smiled stiffly with the corners of his lips pulled up, and continued to shovel the rice into his mouth.

"I didn't say anything important." Le Lian frowned slightly, "It's just that I cared too much for you in my words, which made people feel uncomfortable."

Jiang Zong's heart slackened again, he knew that this kid was possessive, and even looked at him coaxing Jiang Heng with jealous eyes, if he knew that something happened between him and Jane, he might not be able to handle it something happened.

"It's delicious." Jiang Zong gently rubbed the back of his hand with the chopsticks on Le Lian's cheek, "Your brother is so beautiful, and Nan'an is one of the most handsome people in the world, and there is nothing he can do if he is often missed."

Le Lian came over, hugged Jiang Zong from behind, put his chin on Jiang Zong's shoulder, and watched him eat.

Jiang Zong picked up a small rib and fed it to Lelian's mouth, scratching the tip of his nose: "Trick me to feed it."

Le Lian rubbed Jiang Zong's ear, and agreed softly: "Well, I thought I would never see you again."

Jiang Zong turned his head back: "Stop being coquettish, go back and lie down, and brother will make medicine for you later."

"No. You take a break." Lelian still clings to him.

The two of them staggered for a while, and lay side by side on the bed.

"One hundred thousand catties of stone pearls were lost." Le Lian thought for a while, "Leave this matter to me. We have 20 thousand catties in our hands, so it shouldn't be a problem."

Jiang Zong smiled lightly: "I don't need you, I have a solution. I have already sent a letter to tell them to dock in Ru County for those two cargo ships."

Le Lian looked at Jiang Zong with bright eyes: "You are so smart. With you around, I look very useless."

"Come on, you're still useful." Jiang Zong rolled over and lay beside Le Lian, "Do you know what I'm going to do?"

Le Lian said: "The coast of Ru County is rich in clear water glaze, which is the same thing as stone pearls. If I were to swallow the money from the imperial court, I would directly replace stone pearls with cheap clear water glaze. We said this before, but you don't Let me take the risk."

"That's right, there's no other way now, it's better to fake stone pearls with clear water colored glaze than furnace ashes."

The boat sailed for several days, and there were only a few days left before the four-month deadline given by Lord Sui Xiaohou.

But the production of clear water colored glaze is large, and it is often used on the bricks and tiles of wealthy people. Jiang Zong paid a deposit to cut off a businessman's beard, snatched one hundred thousand catties of clear water colored glaze from him, and piled it in the same warehouse as the stone pearls that had just been shipped. , hired a bodyguard team to pack bags one by one, and sent them to the capital by land.

The grooms of the escort team all thought that the 30 catties that were moved out one after another were all stone pearls, and they never thought that there were [-] catties of clear water glass in the library.

-

The two found an inn, and the Furong tent was warm at night, so they couldn't help rolling together.

Le Lian was wrapped in a medical cloth around his upper body, holding Jiang Zong's hand and begging innocently: "Brother Zong, come up and move yourself."

"You know how to handle me more and more." Jiang Zong accommodated him, avoided the wound, and supported Le Lian's thin waist to ride up.

"If it wasn't for your injury, I would have let you be my subordinate." Jiang Zong leaned over and teased Le Lian, "Brother's job is great, I'll let you try it for a while." I will never forget."

"If you can hold me down, let brother come." Le Lian rolled over and pressed Jiang Zong under him, and with his lips in his mouth, he shut Jiang Zong's remaining snarky words back into his mouth.

This kid always likes to act coquettishly and call him brother when he is doing this. Jiang Zong's body softens a little when he is called, and his heart is as sweet and soft as a beach of water. Young Master Jiang eats soft or hard, he just likes children .

-

Just after sleeping until midnight, he was awakened by the noise in the street. Le Lian propped up the bed and sat up. Jiang Zong hugged Le Lian sideways. When the person in his arms moved, his arms tightened.

Le Lian leaned over and kissed Jiang Zong's forehead: "You sleep, I'll go outside and have a look."

Jiang Zong muttered: "Where are you going, Leng..."

"Wait for me." Le Lian tucked the quilt tightly over Jiang Zong, picked up the blood-red knife beside the pillow, and walked out the door softly.

The street was brightly lit, and a large number of mobs with big knives and iron hoes smashed down the gate of Ru County. Everyone had a black chicken feather tied on their head.

Le Lian hid in the shadows, frowning and staring at the riot below: "Rebel riot?"

There were rustling footsteps around him, Jiang Zong walked quietly to Le Lian in his outer robe, stared down at the riot below, and gasped, "Black Lingjun."

The source of King Jing and Hou Jingchuan's party being exterminated in the previous life.

In the previous life, the Black Ling army rioted, and Jingchuan Hou led the army to suppress it, but was urgently recalled by the news that the capital was besieged. At that time, the Sui Xiaohou was wearing a battle armor and rushed back to the capital with [-] cavalry, but he was punished on the spot by a leader of the rebellion. crime.

The capital is safe and sound, and the golden order to forcibly recall is a trap.

"Le Lian." Jiang Zong stared at the riot on the street, and asked him softly, "If you face Jingchuan Hou Sui Lan, do you have a chance of winning?"

Le Lian hugged Jiang Zong's shoulders, and wrapped his clothes tightly to avoid the wind: "I haven't touched the bottom of Lord Hou. But I'm not bad."

Jiang Zong's eyes were deep: "Okay"

-

Jinzhou is a pawn shop.

Recently, shopkeeper Xiao Jiang always avoids people when changing clothes, and drives all the maids out, and no one else is allowed to serve him.

Jiang Heng changed into a loose light onion gown and sat in front of the pawnshop looking through the books.

Not long after it opened, someone called "Master Xiaojiang" outside the door.

Jiang Heng was annoyed when he heard this voice, dropped the ledger and walked away.

Yeying walked towards the threshold with a cup of soup: "Shopkeeper Xiaojiang, the newly stewed winter melon pork ribs soup, Master Hou asked me to bring you a cup to try."

Jiang Heng stood a little further away as if seeing a plague god, and said with a frown, "Don't send any more, Lord Hou is usually busy with his affairs, and he always thinks about what I, a lowly little businessman, will do."

Ye Ying put the soup cup on the table, helped Jiang Heng to sit back, and rubbed his hands to please him: "Don't be shopkeeper Xiao Jiang, it was a misunderstanding last time, our Lord Hou always misses you, by the way, the injury sent a few days ago Have you used the medicine yet?"

Yeying actually brought up the past that made him unbearable again, and brought up the wound medicine. Jiang Heng's face turned red and then turned pale.

I expected Jingchuan Hou to be upright, but unexpectedly he was a low-born son. Even if he was the empress's nephew, a relative of the emperor, a gentleman would not take advantage of others, Jiang Heng hated Sui Xiaohou very much, but the people did not agree with him. In the official dispute, there is nothing he can do after being greatly wronged.

He has written several handwritten letters to complain to his elder brother, but Jiang Zong hasn't replied to the letter for so long, his father doesn't love his mother or his mother, and now even his elder brother doesn't care about himself, Jiang Heng is terribly wronged.

"My subordinates will see Lord Hou."

When Jiang Heng turned his head, he saw Sui Lan standing in front of the screen, wearing silver light armor.

Sui Lan threw the Eagle Wing Spear to Ye Ying: "Go out and wait."

"Yes." Ye Ying bowed and stepped back.

Sui Lan sat on the teacher's chair next to Jiang Heng, scooped a small bowl of pork rib soup from the soup cup, blew it cold, and handed it to Jiang Heng.

He was used to being on the battlefield, and he always looked clumsy when taking care of others. Young Lord Sui was holding the soup bowl, his face was frosty and majestic, and he seemed a little more embarrassed.

Jiang Heng didn't dare to disobey Lord Hou's face, but felt uncomfortable in his heart, he took the soup bowl awkwardly, got up and respectfully thanked Lord Hou for the reward.

"Xiao Heng..." Sui Lan raised her hand to touch his hair, Jiang Heng took a step back, hid in the distance, and looked at him with guarded eyes.

"What do you call a villain?" Jiang Heng looked at him in surprise.
