Chapter 273 Brother Xi Becomes Jiang Lingchen
When Ms. Cui, Chen Ran and Chen Hao saw Wan Yanxu, they were so shocked that they were almost speechless. Then, earth-shaking cheers came out.
The secret guards lying on the trees looked at each other.
Xu Shan stood outside the door and grinned at Qingying.
Qingying turned her face coldly and ignored him.
Cui left Wanyanxu at home for dinner that day.
It’s been a long time since we last saw each other, and many words have not yet been spoken. Ms. Cui will never forget how much Uncle Sun’s family took care of her and how much they cared about Sun Xi.
At first she didn't know why Sun Xi left without even saying hello, but now seeing Sun Xi's graceful demeanor and the entourage following him, Mrs. Cui was happy for him from the bottom of her heart.
Meeting Sun Xi made her feel as close as meeting Uncle Sun. In her heart, Sun Xi was Uncle Sun's grandson. Even though Sun Xi's identity was unusual at first glance, she did not change this simple wish.
.
"Xi'er, why don't you tell me who you really are?"
Afraid that Sun Xi would overthink it, Mrs. Cui added, "When I see you, it's like seeing a relative in Kanghe Village. You must also know Jiabao's current identity. The day after tomorrow will be her official day, and our whole family must enter."
Palace, if your identity is not a concern, I think it would be best to take you into the palace with me."
In Cui's heart, taking him with her is equivalent to taking Uncle Sun with her.
Before Sun Xi could answer, Cui Zhifan came over.
After meeting him, he also became extremely curious about Sun Xi's identity.
After all, he had heard about this young man when he went to Kanghe Village, and he also knew how big a blow this young man's inexplicable disappearance had brought to Uncle Sun.
"I hope you don't mind everyone asking this. After all, today is different from the past, and no one dares to mess around with the royal family's rules." Cui Zhifan said politely.
Sun Xi smiled and nodded, looking like he didn't care at all.
Then, he took out something like a red invitation from his sleeve and handed it to Cui Zhifan.
Cui Zhifan opened it, took one look at it, and then stood up in surprise.
"This... Tang's boss?"
Zhifengtang, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, a century-old family, mainly engaged in medicinal materials and medical clinics, and the family's business spans four major countries.
I heard that in recent years, they have also begun to dabble in tea, porcelain and silk. They shipped them from Daqi to other countries and then exchanged them for what Daqi needed, and made a lot of money.
The head of the family, Mr. Jiang, has two sons, one a legitimate son and the other a concubine.
The legitimate son was killed by bandits when he went out to deliver goods. He only had one son, Mr. Jiang's legitimate grandson, who was twelve years old this year.
This grandson had been traveling with his master to study pharmacology at first. Not many people had met him. All they knew was that he was very loved by Mr. Jiang.
Two years after the Jiang family's legitimate son was murdered, the concubine thought that the old man would hand over the family business to him. As a result, the old man directly announced in front of all the clan members that in a hundred years, his legitimate grandson Jiang Lingchen would be the head of the Zhifengtang family.
The concubine was so angry that he hired a killer to hunt down Jiang Lingchen, who had not returned home for a long time. Then he gave the old Mr. Jiang medicine to make him unable to speak or move.
Jiang Lingchen was forced to hide and lost his trace, and was later found by his grandfather, Mr. Jiang. He first secretly protected his grandfather and detoxified him, and then collected evidence of his uncle's murder of his father and grandfather, and captured him in one fell swoop.
Mr. Jiang's body was eroded by poison, and he died within a few months.
Twelve-year-old Jiang Lingchen became the head of the Zhifeng Hall.
The reason why Cui Zhifan knew so clearly was because before he went to Northern Xinjiang to do business, the plague was prevalent after the floods in the south of the Yangtze River. It was Zhifengtang who provided money, effort and prescriptions to help the court control the plague.
For this reason, the imperial court planned to reward him, grant him an official position or a title, but Zhifengtang politely refused.
After inquiring, I learned that the old master of Zhifengtang was seriously ill due to the disappearance of his young master, and he was temporarily unable to accept the love of the court.
Never in my dreams did I expect that the young man in front of me was Jiang Lingchen, the young master of Zhifeng Hall who was later found.
In this way, the behavior of calling Sun Xi all the same.
After all, Jiabao'er said that she had personally heard Sun Xi's subordinates call him Young Master.
It can be seen that this identity is undoubtedly true.
Cui Zhifan quickly called the children to greet him again. He had always admired Zhifengtang for helping the people without asking for anything in return. Now that he saw the real master, he should naturally respect him more.
After looking at Jiang Lingchen's invitation, he was very satisfied as it was given by the imperial court as a distinguished guest.
"I wonder where Mr. Jiang lives? Is it the Jiang family's house in the capital or somewhere else? Do you need Cui to send someone to take you to the palace in the future?"
I didn't expect him to arrive in the capital in such a low-key manner. If he hadn't happened to be met by Jiabao'er, he might not have been able to meet her even after the ceremony was over.
Wan Yanxu smiled and shook his head, "No need to trouble Master Cui. I live in my own inn not far from here. If it is convenient for Aunt Cui in the future, I would like to enter the palace with them."
Cui and Chen Dayou on the side had already been stunned.
I didn't expect that the person I accidentally rescued would have such a powerful background. I don't know whether I should call him Sun Xi or Jiang Lingchen now.
Hearing that he wanted to enter the palace with his family, Ms. Cui glanced at her eldest brother. Cui Zhifan nodded in approval. Ms. Cui hurriedly said: "Convenient and convenient, very convenient, Xi'er... uh, Jiang... Mr. Jiang
, that day, that day..."
Before she could finish speaking, Wan Yanxu smiled and said, "You can call me whatever my aunt originally called me now. I am Xi'er in front of you. The day after tomorrow, I will come over here early in the morning. If
If I can squeeze through, I want to ride in the same carriage as Brother Ran and Brother Hao to enter the palace."
"How can this be done?" Cui Zhifan said quickly after hearing this: "You are a distinguished guest from the imperial court, how can you squeeze together with a few children? It is better to let the carriage from the court to greet the distinguished guests come and wait, and then you will sit in that carriage, behind you
We are my brother-in-law’s family, and then we will enter the palace together.”
Wanyanxu wanted to refuse, but was stopped by Cui Zhifan's words.
"Since Mr. Jiang is an old acquaintance with his sister-in-law's family, he can come to his house after the ceremony. However, the day after tomorrow is an important day for our Da Qi Kingdom, so I would like to ask Mr. Jiang to accept the imperial carriage and let other distinguished guests know that I am a Da Qi State."
The country treats guests with sincerity, please."
Having said this, it would be bad to refuse any more. Wanyanxu hurriedly returned the favor and said, "In this case, it is better to be respectful than to obey. Everything will be arranged by Mr. Cui."
"Okay, okay." Cui Zhifan was very happy, holding Wanyan Xu's hand and talking again.
Only Jiabao'er, who was staying here for the night, was a little confused. She sat in Cui's arms and ate while frowning.
Who is Brother Xi?
Why did he become Jiang and Chen again? How strange.
As Wanyanxu spoke, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Prince Mu's Mansion had set up the Jiangnan Zhifeng Hall in Daqi a hundred years ago, so Jiang Lingchen's identity was completely flawless. Otherwise, how could he be so close to the core people of Daqi just based on his friendship in Kanghe Village?
