It's hard to be a prodigal

"I can't help it." Jiang Zong smiled and reprimanded him lightly, stroked Le Lian's hair lightly, let him lean on him, and eased the hand that applied the medicine, "Hold it obediently."

Le Lian froze for a moment, then quietly moved a little closer to Jiang Zong's side, and buried her head in his arms awkwardly.

"...Like a puppy..." Jiang Zong saw the awkward and pitiful appearance of the child in his arms, and patted his head like a ghost, applied the medicine on his wound, and then put a layer of medicinal cloth on it .

Le Lian withdrew from Jiang Zong's arms in embarrassment, his voice was still hoarse because of the burning all night, and he asked him in a hoarse voice: "Master Zong came to see me, do you hate me?"

Jiang Zong couldn't answer for a moment.

To be honest, the grievances between them can't be summed up as "hate". In the previous life, they really wanted to kill each other and make the other party unable to stand up forever. At least Jiang Zong did it sincerely.

But in this life, the child really did not do anything that violated Jiang Zong's interests.

"I don't hate it." Jiang Zong had no choice but to answer, feeling a little subtle, "What is it called Master Zong, Brother Zong."

In the past, Le Lian always called him "Zong Ye" in a neutral manner, so now Jiang Zong feels very disgusted every time he hears Le Lian call him "Zong Ye".

Le Lianfa was stunned for a while, then hesitantly called out "Brother Zong".

"Good boy." Jiang Zong rubbed his cheek with the back of his hand.

Le Lian's nervous breathing became much easier, and he said softly: "It's raining heavily outside, I'm afraid it will splash Brother Zong's clothes, wait until the rain stops before leaving."

He always speaks appropriately and with proportion.

"Okay." It's okay to go back and forth. Jiang Zong looked at the dilapidated small room through the light from the window. Although it was messy, it just couldn't be put away. The clothes were washed clean and placed on the bed cabinet. There was something in the corner. A long box, also wiped spotlessly.

Taking advantage of Le Lian's inattention, Jiang Zong quietly opened a corner of the long box, wanting to see what treasures were inside, but he didn't expect that there was an old oil-paper umbrella in it, which was broken and useless long ago. .

"What are you doing with this junk thing?" Jiang Zong glanced at it and put it back in disgust, "It's so shabby."

Le Lian followed his gaze to look at the broken umbrella in the corner, then at Jiang Zong, lowered his eyes and said, "You shouldn't throw away things given by others."

Jiang Zong recalled his previous life, and was lucky enough to enter Le Lian's bedroom. There was this box in the corner, presumably it was this umbrella.It turned out to be cherished since childhood.

"All right, as you like." Jiang Zong bowed and took out a plate of dim sum from the food box, and handed a piece to Le Lian's mouth, "Your hands are stained with blood, my hands are clean, let me come."

Le Lian really couldn't resist Jiang Zong's kindness, he pursed his lips in embarrassment and backed away: "No, it doesn't have to be like this...I will do it myself."

"Huh?" Jiang Zong raised one leg and knelt on the bed, leaned over to Le Lian, pressed the snack to his lips, narrowed his eyes slightly, "Baby, what are you afraid of?"

So funny.

It's refreshing to tease your childhood opponent, and it's so refreshing to see him in such a pitiful and awkward little appearance.

Le Lian retreated again and again, Jiang Zong climbed onto the bed and approached him until Le Lian's back was pressed against the wall and there was no way to retreat. Jiang Zong slightly turned his head, kissed his cheek, and said softly, "Actually, I'm a Duanxiu, little official, you are a hero to save the beauty, I promise you with my body, how about it?"

Le Lian's face turned red, and he stared at Jiang Zong with wide eyes.

Jiang Zong was rolling with laughter in his heart, trying not to show his expression, grabbed Le Lian's wrist, pressed Le Lian's hand on his chest, and said seriously: "Come on, let me touch you."

"It's just...indecent!" Le Lian frowned and pushed Jiang Zong away, endured the pain in his body and pushed Jiang Zong out of bed, got into the bed by himself, covered his head, and muttered angrily, "Get out."

"You asked me to stay a little longer, and now you're driving me away. What's the reason?" Jiang Zong sat on the edge of the bed, holding back a smile, and patted him through the quilt, "Then I'll put the medicine and snacks here, you'll feel better." Remember to eat."

"It's raining, so I'll go first." After getting the expected response, Jiang Zong didn't stay long, took his umbrella and left proudly.

Back in the Jiang family compound, I was still reminiscing about how soft and slippery my face was, like a boiled egg with its shell peeled off, it was tender and tender when I kissed it, it was a bit addictive.

Passing by Jiang Heng's study, Yu Shi seemed to be in it too.

"Brother Yu Shi...don't be like this...you're all wet...let go..." Jiang Heng's weak voice came from inside.

"?????" Jiang Zong rolled up his sleeves and kicked open the door of the study, "In the world, you are the one who fucks like a dog!"

"Give it back to me..." With red eyes, Jiang Heng tiptoed to snatch the "Business Classic" in Yu Shi's hand. Tea was poured on the book, soaking most of it.

"I said I'm sorry, but I'll dry it for you. It's too small, it can't be reached." Yu Shi sat on the table and looked back at Jiang Zong who was standing at the door, "Yo, why am I a dog?" Fuck something?"

Jiang Zong raised the corner of his mouth: "It's nothing, I thought the retribution came too fast."

Yu Shi threw the book to Jiang Heng, and threw a note to Jiang Zong: "I had dinner with the head of the bodyguards. I heard the news that the capital came, so I booked a few strong bodyguards with high kung fu in the bodyguard bureau, and said The emperor’s Xingzhen official came to Jinzhou to purchase orchid tea nectar, and these special supplies for the palace used to be handled by the Lin family, but now Boss Lin has gone away with money, who will handle this matter?”

Jiang Heng's eyes lit up: "Can we do it?"

Yu Shi smiled mockingly at him, then looked at Jiang Zong.

Jiang Zong frowned and touched his chin: "Anyone can do it...we won't do it."

The special offering of honey sounds very respectable, but the things sent to the palace can't go wrong, and there is not as much money to be scooped up as others think. Sometimes accidents happen, and money has to be poured out to save life.

The Lin family in the previous life was suppressed by the imperial court. It was heard that they were preparing a batch of casting stones for the prince's mansion, but they didn't want to find out the omissions, and they were ransacked and exiled.

Not to mention the distance, the Lin family built a few beekeeping houses in Jinshui Mountain in their previous life, specially supplying orchid tea nectar. During the half month of honey harvesting, they lived and ate in the mountain. Jinshui Mountain not only has bees, but also has a lot of wild poisons. The second young master Lin went to the mountain to help take care of the beehive, but he accidentally touched a poisonous beehive, got stung all over his body, and died after being sick for a few days.

Once you deal with the royal family, you must be extremely cautious.

Jiang Zong has his own way of making money, and the Jiang family's financial resources are not strong now, so he has no plans to open up the way of the royal family's special donation.

"Once the Lin family collapses, Jinzhou will count your Jiang family and Le family's brand names, and you may not be able to hide if you don't take it." Yu Shi also knew that this business is not easy to do, so he thought about it and said, "Well, I will From you, the jade buyer, hide it in advance, you delay, let Lejia take over this thankless business first."

"Yeah." Jiang Zong had this in mind, "You stay here for a few days, go to other shops more, don't let others know that you are here to talk to me about business. Your eldest brother Yu Wan will not get up suspicion."

Yu Shi felt that this person really hadn't seen him for three days, so he looked at him with admiration. Jiang Zong used to be such a mess, how could his brain become so good now.

He comes from a business background, and he likes to make friends with smart people. If Jiang Zong can occupy a place in the Capital Chamber of Commerce in the future, the two companies will support each other, and business will become even easier.

Mr. Yu played in Jinzhou for a few days, then bid farewell to the Jiang family brothers and went back to the capital.

Jiang Zong began to plan to clean up the pawn shop and prepare to open it.He threw Jiang Heng into Zongheng's pawnshop as the treasurer, and usually still immersed himself in his studies, and took care of the money books for Jiang Zong. Jiang Zong went out to spend time and wine, bragging to others that he had earned 3 taels of silver.

The second uncle also heard the news, and thought that 3 taels of silver was worth such a big fight, a fool with no vision, sent someone to inform the gangsters before and wanted to rectify Jiang Zong, it was unnecessary.

Jiang Zong also figured it out, if he wants to be lucky, he has to lose his fortune.

For a few days, he didn't go to Maple Leaf Residence to take care of Mr. Ming Li's business. After Jiang Zong ate a whole fish feast in Yingchun Building, he threw down the 100 taels of silver ticket and said that he didn't need to look for it. He walked to Yinshou Building with his hands behind his back to have a look ring jewelry.

On the way, I met Miss Yuan's Mansion. Miss Yuan lost her hairpin and was in a hurry to pick it up, but accidentally bumped into Jiang Zong's arms. She took the hairpin back from Jiang Zong's hand with a blushing face, and thanked him softly: "Thank you Jiang Zong Young master, this hairpin is a gift from my elder brother, it is very meaningful, it would be a pity if it is broken. If you don't give up, young master, go to my house and have a cup of tea."

Ms. Yuan is the most talented and beautiful woman in Jinzhou. All men in Jinzhou dream of smelling the fragrance of her fingertips.

Jiang Zong snorted, it turned out that tossing 100 taels of silver would bring good luck without looking for it.

But he doesn't like girls from wealthy families very much, and always feels that he can't play together. In his previous life, his second uncle and third uncle arranged a lot of marriages for him, and forced marriages every year. Jiang Zong just dealt with it and never took it to heart.

If you don't talk about marriage, he actually prefers to play with boys.

Declined Ms. Yuan's invitation, and entered the Yinshou Building. Seeing the regular customers coming, Shopkeeper Sun rubbed his hands and came over to say hello: "Master Zong, are you shopping for jewelry? What a coincidence, today's purchase has many new looks. Even Sui Xiao Lord Hou has bought a few pairs of jewelry, and he plans to go back and send them to the ladies in the capital."

Jiang Zong saw the Qingshuibi bracelet on the counter at a glance, standing in a small silk box, under the candlelight, the bracelet looked transparent and beautiful.

"Give me that bracelet." Jiang Zong took the bracelet from shopkeeper Sun and asked the price, 2000 taels.

Jiang Zong looked at the light, Qingshui Jade is divided into Qingshuibi and Qingshuiblue, the base of this bracelet is blue, it looks really beautiful from a distance, but when you take a closer look, you always feel that the color is not correct, and the ring of the bracelet is also foggy.

I'm afraid it's a shoddy product.

He has been in the pawn shop business for so many years, and he can tell the difference between good and bad goods at a glance, and he blurted out mockingly: "Is this worth 2000 taels of silver?"

Shopkeeper Sun thought he was trying to bargain, so he hurriedly booed: "Master Zong, keep your voice down, there are a few small cracks on this bracelet, which is why it was inlaid with gold wire. Don't talk about it, I will give you a call." Fold in half, you can take it for 1000 taels, okay?"

Shopkeeper Sun's eyesight is indeed not very good. He is used to the silverware business and started as a craftsman, so he probably doesn't know much about gemstones.

"Fold in half?" Jiang Zong raised his eyebrows. Since he wants to lose his family, the more he loses, the better luck he will have. What's the matter with a half discount?

Shopkeeper Sun frowned: "Subtract another 100 taels, 900 taels."

Jiang Zong was stunned for a moment: "Is there another 100 tael?"

Shopkeeper Sun was extremely embarrassed: "I will give you the cost price, and the workmanship is also good."

"No, what's the discount? You're insulting me. It's only 2000 taels, wrap it up for me." Jiang Zong was afraid that he would lower the price again, so he snapped a 2000 taels silver note, "The bag looks better, I'll give it away later."

"Okay! Master Zong has everyone's demeanor." Shopkeeper Sun had heard about the reputation of the prodigal young master, and was immediately happy. Since someone was willing to be taken advantage of, he hurriedly put the unsold bracelet into the original small box and wrapped it up Yes, give it to Jiang Zong, and personally send him out of the silver building.

Jiang Zong didn't even look at it, he put the box in his arms, walked through the noisy alley, and went straight to Maple Leaf Residence to kill time.

Le Lian just went out to buy some porridge and rice, and saw Jiang Zong enter the door of Maple Leaf Residence.

The madam hurried up to greet him: "Master Mingli has been waiting for Young Master Jiang in the private room for a long time!"

When the young masters of Maple Leaf Residence saw Jiang Zong coming, they only dared to serve him carefully, not daring to offend him.This master doesn't care much about people in the bed room. If he is in a good mood, he will be gentle and kind. The young man who serves him is not only rich but also really comfortable. If he is in a bad mood some day, he will enter It is also common for the servants in the room to be tortured until their throats are hoarse and their bodies see blood, and they have to be sent to the hospital.

Thinking about it now, Jiang Zong still feels sorry for these little boys who are working hard to make a living. He was the one who went too far in the past.

Jiang Zong opened the door and entered Mr. Ming Li's private room. A curtain was hung in the private room to divide the room into two parts. Mr. Ming Li seemed to be changing clothes on the other side of the curtain.

It was Mr. Ming Li who understood the taste, Jiang Zong sat outside the curtain cooperatively, and lightly knocked on the coffee table: "Ming Li, stretch out your hand, I rarely have a gift for you."

Ming Li inside the curtain smiled softly, walked to the edge of the curtain, and gently handed out her slender wrist.

Jiang Zong took out the bracelet he just bought, lightly held the little beauty's hand, covered it with a handkerchief, put the bracelet on, kissed his fingertips, and made Mr. Li smile.

"Beauty, what do you want to do with this curtain?" Jiang Zong looked at the beauty inside the curtain with his chin in his hand, took a sip of tea, and put a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone next to the candlestick on the tea table.

Mr. Ming Li didn't speak, and handed out a piece of paper, on which a few lines of graceful thoughts were written in beautiful characters.

"Oh, it turned out to be a letter to express love." Jiang Zong took a piece of paper, wrote a few lines of obscene words, and handed it in with a smirk.

Mr. Mingli took the letter paper, but before he could read it, his mouth was covered suddenly.

Looking at the people behind him in panic, Le Lian came in from the window, tied Mr. Ming Li's slender body from behind, covered his mouth with one hand to prevent him from making a sound, put the knife in his hand on the side of his neck, and said indifferently: " You go and sit on the side."

Xiao Guan was so frightened that her face turned pale, she nodded with tears in her eyes, quietly walked to the corner and sat down with her knees hugged, not daring to speak.

Le Lian stuck the knife on the ground, sat cross-legged behind the curtain, held the handle of the knife with one hand, picked up the letter Jiang Zong handed in with the other, and glanced at it.

A blush immediately appeared on his indifferent face.

-

A letter was handed out, and Jiang Zong flipped through it with the corner of his mouth raised.

The handwriting on the letter suddenly became sharp and sharp, and there was only one line of questioning:

"Do you know how to be ashamed?"
