The Red Chamber: Hang Qin Keqing at the start

Chapter 17 [017] Liu Xianglian offended the prince?
At this moment, Xue Pan was covered in muddy water from head to toe, shivering in the cold wind, how could he have the slightest bit of arrogant and domineering son-in-law?

Jia Qiang walked up to him, pretended to be surprised and asked:

"Huh? Isn't this Uncle Xue? What's wrong with you?"

Xue Pan and Jia Baoyu are of the same generation, and both are a generation older than Jia Qiang. In terms of seniority, he should indeed be called "uncle".

In fact, Jia Qiang and Xue Pan had studied together in Jia's private school before, so they had some friendship.

At such a time of embarrassment, he accidentally bumped into Jia Qiang, an old acquaintance, Xue Pan's dirty face flushed with embarrassment, and he said with a sneer:

"It turned out to be Brother Qiang. I just went to the side of the mud ditch for convenience, and accidentally slipped and fell into the ditch."

Jia Qiang knew he was lying, but she didn't tell the truth. Instead, she took off the red brocade cloak on her body, put it on Xue Pan's shoulders considerately, and said with concern:
"You are soaking wet now, be careful of catching a cold, go home and take a shower and change clothes."

Xue Pan was so moved that tears streamed down his face, choked up and said:
"Although I, Xue Pan, am a big bastard, I also know the allusion of the kindness of a meal. Brother Qiang has kindness to me today, and I will definitely repay it in the future."

The corners of Jia Qiang's lips raised slightly, and she praised:

"Okay, I have long thought that Uncle Xue is a man of temperament, happy to be kind and friendly, and worthy of deep friendship. From now on, Uncle Xue will be my best friend."

Xue Pan wiped away his tears, turned his fat face into a painted face, and said with sobs:

"It's more than just best friends. From now on, we'll be life-and-death brothers. We're about the same age. Don't call me Uncle Xue. Just call me by my name. It doesn't seem outlandish."

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Okay, then I won't see you anymore, I'll just call you Lao Xue from now on."

Xue Pan smirked and said, "Okay, Brother Qiang, let's talk about it another day, I have to go back and change my clothes."

After finishing speaking, Xue Pan bowed his hands to Jia Qiang, and rode away in a state of embarrassment.

Looking at Xue Pan's back, the corners of Jia Qiang's lips twitched slightly.

If someone helps someone in a difficult situation, the other party may indeed be grateful.

Although this Xue Pan is arrogant, lustful and ignorant, spends money like water, ignorant and ignorant, he is only obsessed with bullying, cockfighting, hunting flowers and willows, traveling in mountains and rivers all day long.

But he is indeed a man of good nature who knows how to reciprocate and has no scheming.

So today, Jia Qiang's slight favor can make him feel grateful.

In this way, Jia Qiang can use the Xue family name behind Xue Pan to develop and expand his own Qiangwei Escort.

Withdrawing her thoughts, Jia Qiang got on her horse and galloped, chasing in the direction where Liu Xianglian left.

After galloping for about half a cup of tea, Jia Qiang saw a person in the distance, riding a yellow pussy horse, holding the bridle and walking slowly.

Looking at the tall back of the other party wearing a lotus-colored cloak, it should be Liu Xianglian.

Jia Qiang clamped the horse's belly fiercely, and the horse whipped up to catch up. After a closer look, it was indeed him.

When Liu Xianglian heard the sound of horseshoes, she turned her head and looked over.

Jia Qiang's eyes lit up, this Liu Xianglian was indeed handsome and dignified.

It's just that the eyes are cold, the face is covered with frost, and there is a feeling of indifference that rejects people thousands of miles away.

No wonder his nickname is "Cold Noodle Erlang".

Jia Qiang cupped her hands with a smile and said, "I've seen Brother Liu."

Liu Xianglian asked coldly, "Who is your Excellency?"

Jia Qiang smiled lightly and said, "I am Jia Qiang from Ningguo Mansion."

Liu Xianglian clasped her fists in return and said:

"No wonder you look familiar to me. It turns out that you are the son of the Jia family. I don't know why Brother Qiang is looking for me?"

Jia Qiang smiled and said:

"I have always heard that brother Liu Shixiong is open-minded, outspoken, chivalrous and courageous. I have always wanted to be your best friend. It is my luck to meet you unexpectedly today.

I would like to invite you to have a drink at Yuanyang Hot Pot Restaurant, I wonder if Brother Liu would give me this thin noodles? "

Liu Xianglian laughed boldly and said:

"Brother Qiang, you are being polite, since you sincerely invite me, how can I take your face off?
It just so happened that I was depressed in my heart and wanted to drink away my worries. It was really a great pleasure to have a bosom friend like Brother Qiang to cheer me up! "

The two talked and laughed, and rode slowly together, and rode to Yuanyang Hot Pot Restaurant together.

When Liu Xianglian saw the four gold-plated characters of "Wanli Yubi" written on the lower right corner of the restaurant's plaque, she was slightly startled and murmured:
"I didn't expect this restaurant to have a plaque bestowed by His Majesty, but I don't know who the owner of the restaurant is?"

Jia Qiang smiled lightly and said, "It's me."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Xianglian couldn't help taking a deep breath, while being surprised, she also gave Jia Qiang a higher look.

Although Liu Xianglian didn't have much contact with the Ningrong Second House, she also roughly knew that the descendants of these two families were basically playboys who didn't do their jobs properly.

Unexpectedly, Jia Qiang from Ningguo Mansion was willing to work hard to run a restaurant, and she was considered a general who was pulled out from among the crippled, which was really rare.

"Brother Qiang, I didn't expect you to open a restaurant and get a plaque written by His Majesty, you are so young and promising!" Liu Xianglian complimented with a smile.

Jia Qiang smiled lightly and said:

"To be honest, this restaurant is actually just one of the properties under my name. In addition, I also built an escort agency."

Liu Xianglian's eyes lit up slightly. He usually likes to dance with swords and guns, so naturally he has some interest in martial arts like the Escort.

"Then Brother Qiang's bodyguard agency must have many kung fu experts, right?"

Jia Qiang pretended to be a little depressed and smiled:
"I'm not afraid of your jokes. I just set up this bodyguard agency a few days ago, and now I haven't even recruited a team member, let alone such kung fu masters as bodyguard heads and bodyguard masters."

Liu Xianglian smiled bitterly and said:

"If I hadn't offended someone who shouldn't be offended, I'd be willing to contribute to Brother Qiang's bodyguard."

Jia Qiang's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile:

"There are too many people here, and it's inconvenient to talk. I'll choose a separate private room. Let's chat while eating."

When the two entered a secluded and quiet private room, Jia Qiang asked:
"I don't know what great person Liu Shixiong offended? If you trust me, you might as well tell me, maybe I can help you out."

Liu Xianglian hesitated for a while, smiled bitterly, and said in a low voice:
"Brother Qiang, it's better not to go into this muddy water, the person I offended is a prince."

Jia Qiang took a deep breath, narrowed her eyes slightly, and thought to herself: It turns out that the person Liu Xianglian was referring to should not be offended wasn't Xue Pan?
"Brother Liu Shi, you and I hit it off right away, your business is mine, but I don't know which prince you have offended? I will do my best to help you find a way."
