Fierce “Husband”

If Jiang Kangchen, who made a big appearance at the palace banquet, said that the slap to the Marquis of Hengyuan was just incidental, then his main slap was slapped on the face of Duke Anguo Wu Tianpeng. Wu Tianpeng is about the same age as Weng Lao, and he may not have much contact with his former granddaughter-in-law, but he is definitely aware of the cause and effect.

The grandson's daughter-in-law, who was kicked out of the house by the Wu family, is now not only a popular person in front of the queen, but also hosts a rich banquet for the emperor and the queen, not to mention the emerging business of the Dayan Kingdom in his hands. Wu Tianpeng, who returned to the mansion of the Duke of Anguo, immediately sent someone to call his third son Wu Cheng and his daughter-in-law Wu Wang, and scolded them all over their heads.

Jiang Kangchen and Wu Jian were reconciled, but in the capital, no one knew that he was actually driven out by the Duke of Anguo. If Wu Jian was not ruthless and threatened with his life, Jiang Kangchen was able to leave the palace as Heli's wife. , instead of the ugly being discontinued. But even so, it can't hide the fact that he gave birth to a stupid son and was divorced by the Duke of Anguo.

In only six years, Jiang Kangchen's identity has undergone earth-shaking changes, so fast that the people of the Anguo Gongfu can't resist. Before, Jiang Kangchen worked for the queen, and the Anguo Gongfu was just waiting and watching, but today, Jiang Kangchen appeared at the palace banquet as the secretary of the inner palace. He has the status of an official fourth-rank official. Anguo Gongfu, at least Anguo Gong Can't pretend that nothing happened.

After the palace banquet, Jiang Kangchen went to Yunlong Pavilion, which is where he and Eunuch An now work. After negotiating several deals with businessmen from both countries, Jiang Kangchen, who was ordered by the queen, was so busy in Yunlong Pavilion that he couldn't even care about his family. After being busy for nearly half a month, Jiang Kangchen just returned to Jiang's house from the hot pot restaurant that was about to open. The housekeeper Jiang Zhuang immediately greeted him, his face was not very good, and he said: "Eldest young master, there is someone from Anguo Gongfu, said It's the third lady who invited you over for tea."

Jiang Kangchen was a little dazed at first, after all, he was seriously lack of sleep. After he realized who "the third wife of the first wife" was, he immediately said indifferently: "When did the Anguo Gongfu become so ignorant of etiquette? I, a man, was invited to drink tea by some 'sister' wife. I asked for it by myself. Gossip? Gossip and tell the person that I am a single man, so it's a little gossip, so why don't you ask me for tea again. Besides, Uncle Zhuang, do you think I have the time to drink tea?"

Jiang Zhuang immediately shook his head. After his eldest son came back from Xiushui Village, it was almost a month before he returned home, so why would he have any leisure time to drink tea. Jiang Kangchen didn't even plan to meet someone, Jiang Kangchen quickly returned to his house, he would have to enter the palace in a while, and there would be entertainment in the evening.

Although Jiang Kangchen used to be a man's wife, he is now single, and he is divorced. In addition, after Emperor Yongming came to power, he has continuously improved the status of his man's wife. There is no inconvenience for a person like Jiang Kangchen to "show up" outside, and others treat him as a man. He will only treat each other like ordinary men. Even if he became a relative and a husband like Shao Yunan, he would not have any concerns about inconvenience, as long as he paid attention to scale and proportion when dealing with men or women.

Jiang Kangchen went back to the house, changed his clothes, packed a few clean clothes, and took the little servant away. After receiving a polite but distant reply from Jiang Zhuang, the people sent by the Duke of Anguo left with an unpleasant expression.

At this time in the Anguo Gongfu, Wu Wangshi, the wife of the third master Wu Yi, and his daughter-in-law, and the second wife of the first son Wu Jian, were waiting impatiently in the main room of the third room. - A mammy opened the curtain and came in from the outside, shouting: "Maozi is back!"

The bodies of Wu Wangshi and Wu Liushi immediately shook, and then, a young young man dressed as a servant walked in quickly, knelt down on one knee, and said, "Mrs Hui, young lady, Xiao is back. "

King Wu was the first to say, "Is anyone visible?"

"Young Master Kang Chen was not at the mansion when Xiao Xiao left. Xiao Xiao waited for more than an hour, and Young Master Kang Chen came back, but Xiao Xiao did not see Master Kang Chen."

When Wu Wangshi heard this, he was anxious: "Didn't you say that you belong to the government?"

"I've said it." The man raised his head, looked at the unhappy young grandmother in embarrassment, and lowered his head: "Master Kang Chen's housekeeper said..."

King Wu: "What did you say!"

"Say..." The little servant's voice lowered a few degrees, and his head was lowered. "Say, he is, a single man. Young lady, if you invite him to drink tea, it will cause gossip. In the future, young lady, don't look for it. He, what tea?"

Wu Liushi's expression was stunned, and immediately he was so angry that he tightened the silk handkerchief in his hand. Wu Wangshi's face was also very ugly, and he waved his hand impatiently: "You go down."

"Yes." The boy stepped back.

Wu Wangshi glanced at Wu Liushi, his eyes were full of displeasure, and said: "I said that I want you to invite yourself! Then what is Jiang Kangchen's status now! You send a servant over there, can he give you face! "

Wu Liushi's eyes were red, and she said aggrievedly: "Mother-in-law, it's not that the daughter-in-law is unwilling to go, the daughter-in-law is afraid, the daughter-in-law is gone, and he is even more unwilling to come." After a pause, she said, "Or, Go with your mother-in-law. After all, you were his mother-in-law, and he dared not give you this face."

Wu Wangshi's breathing choked, didn't she have a guilty conscience? She does not have amnesia. She remembers clearly how she treated Jiang Kangchen at the beginning. The reason for letting the daughter-in-law come forward is because one is holding her identity as an elder, and the other is not a manifestation of guilty conscience. King Wu and her husband were scolded by their father-in-law. The father-in-law has already ordered that no matter what method they use, they must let Jiang Kangchen return to the Anguo Gongfu, even if Wu Jian's current wife is reduced to a concubine, as long as Jiang Kangchen is willing to come back.

Originally, in the matter of Jiang Kangchen, Elder Weng was very dissatisfied with the Anguo Gongfu. Now, Jiang Kangchen himself has strength again, Jiang Kangning has also caught the eyes of the emperor, and the power of Old Weng is showing signs of rising. In order to get rid of the current predicament, Jiang Kangchen must be brought back.

As the most direct perpetrator of Jiang Kangchen, Wu Wang's family can't escape, and Wu Liu's, who always finds trouble with Jiang Kangchen after getting married, can't avoid it either. Originally, King Wu wanted to see how Jiang Kangchen would change his mind as long as his son came forward, but his son Wu Jian ignored her at all. Since Jiang Kangchen left the An Guogong's mansion, Wu Jian often did not return home at night. Even when he returned home, he would stay behind closed doors. He would not even say goodbye to his mother, and he had never spent the night in Wu Liu's house. .

And the two concubines that Wu Wang's family forced Wu Jian to carry in, Wu Jian also found an excuse and blasted them out directly. Without Jiang Kangchen, Wu Jian doesn't seem to care about anything. I don't care if I will have offspring, I don't care if my palace rank will be raised again, I don't care if my status in the Duke of Anguo will be suppressed by my concubine brothers, I don't even care if my mother puts the hat of filial piety on him again. In the days of drunken life and dreaming of death, there is no foolishness and no desire.

King Wu looked for his son for half a month, but his son either did not see him, or simply ignored her bitter words and pleadings. King Wu had to put his mind on Wu Liu's body and asked Wu Liu to come forward to find Jiang Kangchen. Unexpectedly, Jiang Kangchen actually said such words, did she really ask her, the mother-in-law, to invite her daughter-in-law back in person? There is no such thing! If she really did this, what face would she have in the Anguo Mansion in the future? Sister-in-law and younger siblings don't even laugh at her!

Wu Wangshi struggled for a long time, and finally said to Wu Liushi: "You can run again in person. You are Wu Jian's wife. As long as he still has Wu Jian in his heart, he will not lose your face."

Wu Liushi asked, "What if there is no Wu Jian in his heart?" When he asked this sentence, Wu Liushi's eyes were filled with deep and suppressed resentment.

Wu Wangshi saw Wu Liushi's resentment, and immediately scolded: "It was also caused by you that he lost Wu Jian! You are now the daughter-in-law of the Wu family! You have to share the worries of the Wu family! Do you want me, the mother-in-law, to come forward in person? Can't it?!"

Wu Liushi's tears rolled in his eyes, and Wu Wangshi said bitterly: "You and Jian'er have been married for many years, but you can't catch his heart. You can't give birth to a child. Our third room is someone else's joke! You If you want to stay in the mansion with peace of mind in the future, just do it well!"

Wu Liu lowered his head and cried, but he hated Jiang Kangchen even more in his heart. How can she tell her mother-in-law that she has been married to her husband for six years, and she is still perfect! Her husband didn't come into her room at all. Could it be that she was asked to give her husband medicine every day? If she said this, she would not only have no status in the Wu family, but would also become the laughing stock of the entire capital, so even if she hated her teeth, she couldn't tell anyone, she is still a big girl!

No matter how much Wu Liushi hated her, she still couldn't disobey her mother-in-law's orders. Her husband didn't love her, and she had no children. If she lost her mother-in-law's support, even if she was the daughter of the Minister of War, her situation in the Wu family would be limited. will be more difficult. If the Wu family does not have holy favor, how can the Liu family, who is married to the Wu family, be any better. Moreover, the daughter who is married is the water that was poured out. A woman who is not favored by her husband, even after being married for many years, will only bring shame to her family.

On the second day, Wu Liu's family went to Jiang's house to meet Jiang Kangchen in person. Jiang Kangchen was not in the mansion, and Wu Liushi reluctantly asked his servants to ask where Jiang Kangchen was and when he would return to the mansion. The reply was that Jiang Kangchen had left the capital. Jiang Zhuang rudely told Wu Liushi, please don't disturb his eldest young master in the future. His eldest young master no longer has anything to do with the Anguo Gongfu. At first, Anguo Gongfu almost forced his eldest young master to death, but now he has come to invite the eldest young master over for tea. Is it interesting to do so? Jiang Zhuang asked Wu Liushi to go back and tell the people in the Anguo Gongfu that since the day his wife left the Anguo Gongfu, he and Anguo Gongfu had been a bridge to overseas Chinese, and he would never step into the gate of Anguo Gongfu again. .

Wu Liushi touched a gray nose and returned home with an ugly face. Soon, the news spread throughout the capital. There is no one who does not laugh at the Anguo Gongfu. Why did the Anguo Gongfu go to Jiang Kangchen now? There is no need to explain at all. Anguo Gong's mansion has been degenerate enough to have the cheek to invite the daughter-in-law who was kicked out by them to come home, which is really a joke.

When this matter reached the Queen's ears, he smiled lightly. Zhuo Jin whispered beside him: "Chitose, I just got the news that Wu Jian is also leaving the capital today."

The Queen drank a sip of tea and said lightly: "The two of them were in love with each other, but they were abruptly torn apart, and there is nothing wrong with meeting in private."

Zhuo Jin said with some concern: "The servants are afraid that Jiang Kangchen will return to Duke Anguo's mansion for Wu Jian."

The queen said without worry: "Old Weng reminded him that as long as he is not stupid, he will not go back. I don't want to stay with the people from the An Guogong's mansion. I want him to be the secretary of the inner palace. Let's see how he chooses." No longer mentioning this matter, the Queen turned to ask: "Can you choose the person Anze wants?"

"The slaves have been selected, and they are paired with each other. They are old people who have been in the palace for many years and know the rules. Both of them are willing."

The queen nodded and said, "You don't need to meet me. They went to Xiushui Village, the servants of the king's house. In the future, I want me to hear about the two slaves bullying the master. , you go to Anze, he knows what to do."

"Yes."

===================================================== ============================== Baiyan Temple on the outskirts of Beijing, the plum blossoms that bloom early bring a different look to the clean temple of vitality and vitality. —A man with disheveled hair dressed in a layman’s robe was cleaning the plum forest. The temperature in early spring was very low, but he was very thinly dressed. His cheeks and hands were red with cold, but he didn't seem to notice it at all.

Jiang Kangchen, who was ordered to go out of Beijing to do business, quietly went up Baiyan Mountain and entered Baiyan Temple. This temple is very small, only three or four monks are here, and the incense is even less, forming a sharp contrast with the rainforest temple ten miles away. However, this deserted Baiyan Temple carries Jiang Kangchen's best memory. Walking into Baiyan Temple, Jiang Kangchen kept walking towards the plum blossom forest behind the temple. From a distance, he saw the man cleaning with his back to him, and at that moment, his eyes were wet. He stopped and looked at the man silently, tears dripping uncontrollably. The long-haired man seemed to feel something, got up and turned around. When he saw Jiang Kangchen in the distance, the broom in his hand fell to the ground. Immediately afterwards, he walked towards Jiang Kangchen in large strides. After a few steps, he walked and turned into a run.

There was urgency on his pale and thin face, and his mouth opened, as if he wanted to shout something, but in the end, it was just a whirring gasp. Soon, he came to Jiang Kangchen, his eyes staring at each other almost greedily. He slowly raised his hand, wanting to wipe Jiang Kangchen's tears, but he didn't dare. His fingers moved forward and backward, but his eyes were also red.

Jiang Kangchen lowered his head, and the man put down his hand. The soil under his feet was soaked with water droplets, and after a helpless and distressed sigh, Jiang Kangchen brought his icy body and was hugged vigorously and tightly by a body that was several times colder than his.

"Chen Bao..."

Hoarse, cracked, and full of guilt, remorse, and pain, the low voice exploded in Jiang Kangchen's ears. He raised his arms and hugged each other tightly and tightly.

"Wu Jian..."

The snoring sound in his ears was almost tear-like pain, Jiang Kangchen closed his eyes tightly, and the tears wet the other party's clothes. The man gently stroked his back, his fingers trembling.

"You, thin. Thin, a lot."

Jiang Kangchen just shook his head, speechless. I haven't seen this person for nearly a year, and when we meet again, how did this person become like this!

The corner of the man's mouth raised slightly, with satisfaction: "I thought, you won't, see me."

Jiang Kangchen's nose was blocked, and he tried to speak: "I have things, I have to be busy... Yes, when I'm done, I can, come, see you."

"I know, I know. I know that my Chenbao is very powerful now, very powerful." Wu Jian tightened his arms, but what Jiang Kangchen said made Jiang Kangchen almost unsteady, "Chenbao, I will not come to see you in the future. is you."

Jiang Kangchen struggled out of Wu Jian's arms and looked up at him, his face pale. Wu Jian touched Jiang Kangchen's face, wiped his tears, and saw his happiness in his eyes. Wu Jian said with a smile: "The government wants you to go back. If they find out that I will meet you privately, you will never run away. They will seize every opportunity to force you to return to the government. "

Jiang Kangchen's eyes were flustered, Wu Jian took out a stack of silver notes from his arms, tugged Jiang Kangchen's hand hard, and put it in: "This is the New Year's money I gave to Xi'er for the next few years, you can take it for him."

Jiang Kangchen glanced down, raised his head and asked anxiously, "Where did you get so much money?"

Wu Jian smiled, and with a bit of letting go—resolutely: "They forced you to hand over the shop and the land, so I sold the shop and the land. They haven't found it yet." Jiang Kangchen's eyes widened.

Wu Jian smiled brightly like a child: "My things will only belong to you and Xi'er, and no one wants to take them away." His thumb brushed Jiang Kangchen's wet eyes, "Chen Bao, no matter who goes to the Wu family. I'm looking for you, but you don't want to see me. Sooner or later, the emperor will move the Wu family, and I don't know how lucky you and Xi'er left the Wu family."

"Wu Jian!"

Punching Jiang Kangchen's mouth, Wu Jian said: "Listen to me. The Wu family had failed to support King Lin in the first place, and the fate of the Wu family was already doomed. The reason why the queen used you was because you left the Wu family and because you hated the Wu family. If you go back to the Wu family, you and Xi'er will also be in danger. Grandpa ordered my father and my mother to let you come back no matter what means. Liu's family will find you today, you are not in the capital, and my mother is likely to be in the future. I will come forward in person, and they will definitely make a fuss about me. Chen Bao, you must remember that no matter what they say or what they do, you must never be shaken. With the emperor and the queen, the Wu family will not Dare to touch you, if you can, you'd better leave the capital."

Jiang Kangchen tore off Wu Jian's hand and asked, "What about you?" His voice increased, "I hate the Wu family and what they did to me and Brother Xi, but what about you! You want me to never see you again, see you. Brother Xi's father!"

Wu Jian held Jiang Kangchen's hand, and wiped his tears with the other hand: "I have no face to see you for a long time, and I always want you to meet me privately. It is also my selfishness, I am afraid that you will fall in love with others. But Chen Bao, now It's different. I'm destined to die in the Wu family, but you are as far away from the Wu family as possible. Before, I couldn't protect you and Xi'er; now, I can't hold you back." After speaking, Wu Jian smiled again , "It's good that Xi'er is not in the capital now, so that the Wu family's troubles won't disturb him again. Xi'er is in Kangning, is it okay?"

"You know, I sent Brother Xi to Kang Ning?"

Wu Jian smiled, but there was bitterness in the smile: "Xi'er is my only son." Wei, how could he let it go easily and ignore it. It's just that he has long lost the right to love his son.

Jiang Kangchen's tears were about to come out again, and Wu Jian hugged him again: "Chenbao, promise me."

Jiang Kangchen choked: "I won't go back to the Wu family...but I can't do it either. I won't see you in the future, I can't do it..." This person is the only one in his life, and it will only be his only love, how could he Can do it!

Wu Jian's Adam's apple went up and down many times, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Fool. You are not stable right now, don't cause yourself unnecessary trouble." After a pause, he pretended to be relaxed and said, "Wait until your future. Holding the power, I will go to your house and be your housekeeper."

Jiang Kangchen's body trembled, and suddenly a bold thought hit his forehead, he struggled out again, raised his head, looked at Wu Jian whose eyes were wet, and grabbed him tightly: "When I hold great power, I will marry you as my wife! Wu Jian! Are you going to marry?"

Wu Jian was stunned, and after a long while, he raised his head and laughed loudly, "Hahaha", laughing wildly. Then, he took Jiang Kangchen back into his arms with all his strength, and solemnly promised in his ear: "I'm waiting for Chen Bao to marry me!"
