Chapter 101 What Daddy likes and what Liuer likes(1/2)
Kong Quanwu's carriage circled around the road and finally entered Changtian Temple in Huixianfang.
The person he was looking for was actually in the Taoist temple! Jiang Liu widened his eyes, "Dad!"
"Yeah!" Mr. Jiang nodded vigorously. Changtianguan was very close to his alley. Kong Quanwu must come to find the Meng family. He had to block them before he could slap them in the face!
Mr. Jiang Er ordered Jiang Bao to go around the back door of the Taoist temple to park the carriage. He approved a cloak with a hat to cover his face and hugged his daughter into the Taoist temple.
Because the Empress Dowager was celebrating the heavens, all Taoist temples and Buddhist temples in Kang'an City needed to do rituals on the 749th day. When Jiang Liu entered Changtian Temple, he heard the chanting sounds coming from the hall from afar and smelled the fragrance of burning pine and cypress branches. Because the back door was far away from the main hall, there were not many pilgrims here. Mr. Jiang held his daughter and quickly walked around to a hillside full of pine and cypress in the temple, moved a landscape stone and entered the rockery to hide.
"Let's wait here, stay and don't make a sound later, so as not to alarm the snake."
Jiang Liu leaned into his father's ear, "Will he come here?"
He was very confident about Mr. Jiang Er, who was very familiar with Changtian Temple, "There is only this place in Changtian Temple that has a wide view and is difficult to hide people. He speaks the most securely. This stone cave was taken by your father... It was taken by your Uncle Chai Si and others. Few people know that, look out."
Following the direction pointed by my father and through the cave of the landscape stone, Jiang Liu looked at the Sifang Pavilion five steps away from the rockery, then turned back to look at his father who was hiding in the dark and proud. He wanted to ask him: What have you seen in hiding here in recent years?
"Here you come! Don't make a sound." Mr. Jiang hugged his daughter tightly and looked out through the cave excitedly.
Jiang Liu heard the sound of panting before he saw Kong Quanwu dragging his fat body, slowly walking up, sitting on the stone bench in the pavilion. He first took out a sweat towel to wipe off the sweat beads on his face and neck, and looked around and found that there was no one. Then he carefully wiped his hands, took out his purse from his arms, and counted the silver notes one by one.
"It's only one thousand two hundred taels..." Kong Quanwu muttered worriedly, then put the bill in his arms.
One thousand two hundred taels is not bad, but Kong Neng’s fine of silver is three thousand, which is still half the short. How much can the person Kong Quanwu is looking for to give him?
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Jiang Liu heard the sound. Looking out through the stone hole, he saw a man wearing a white shirt and beautiful jade hanging on his waist walking up with a gloomy face.
She recognized this person. He was Liu Cheng, the prince of the Imperial River, known as the second beautiful man in Kang'an City. Jiang Liu turned to look at his father.
Mr. Jiang raised his hand and pressed the top of his daughter's head, turned her head back, and signaled her not to move.
When Kong Quanwu saw Liu Cheng coming, he quickly got up and saluted, "Criminal Master, you are here."
Liu Cheng sat on the stone bench and asked gloomyly, "I have official duties, so I can say it quickly!"
Kong Quanwu said pitifully, "Criminal Lord, please save Kong Neng. I am just such a son. If he really has a good life, I can't live..."
Liu Cheng did not hide the boredom on his face at all, "Say the key point!"
"Yes." Kong Quanwu quickly put his snot and tears in his eyes and said concisely, "Jingzhao Mansion punished me with three thousand taels. The villain emptied his family's capital and only collected 600 taels. Please let go and borrow two thousand taels of villain. The villain will repay you with all his capital and profits in the future."
"No!" Liu Cheng said angrily. Jiang Liu also sighed inwardly that Kong Quanwu opened his mouth wide. Is this leaving room for Liu Cheng to bargain?
Kong Quanwu wiped his tears, "If the prince had not asked Kong to take care of the Jiang family's business, he would not have made enemies with the Jiang family, and he would have reached this point step by step."
Liu Cheng had murderous intent on his face, "You threatened me? I asked him to take care of the Jiang family's business. I just saw Jiang Er pitiful and wanted Kong to help him! Is this wrong?"
Kong Quanwu repeatedly apologized, "The prince misunderstood. You are a famous gentleman in Kang'an City. I am just a piece of mud. How dare you threaten you? I can't speak and make the prince angry. You are kind, please save Kong Neng, I am the only son..."
Liu Cheng snorted, yelled at Kong Quanwu, who was about to nag, and threw a few silver notes on the table, "Will Mrs. Yazheng go to Wang's tutor Qin after the New Year?"
Kong Quanwu quickly held the silver note in his hand and replied with a smile, "How can you do it? Madam is so busy, how can you have time to go? My grandfather's girl wants to learn the piano, too?"
"This matter has nothing to do with you."
"Yes, yes. Prince, please walk slowly." When Liu Cheng walked away, Kong Quanwu lowered his head and counted the silver bills, cursing, "It's only one hundred and fifty taels, bah!"
Jiang Liu frowned. It turned out that the girl from the Marquis family in Yijiang also wanted to learn the piano. Liu Chengcai "subdued to surrender to nobles" and went to invite Mrs. Yazheng in person. The wife should have refused, so Liu Cheng wanted Kong to find a way to make his wife unable to go to the Wang family?
That won't happen. My second sister and I like playing the piano so much, how can we break it? She has to think of a way...
After Kong Quanwu cursed, he slowly moved down the hillside. Just as Master Jiang was about to hold his daughter and get up and follow him, he heard footsteps coming again. The father and daughter had to retreat and look out through the stone hole.
The one who came up was a servant wearing dark embroidered satin and a silver hairpin on his head. Seeing that he was about thirty years old, he should be the wife of the wealthy family in charge of the rich family. The servant looked up and frowned, "The prince is not here either, where has he gone?"
"Jufang, how can you find out about the whereabouts of the prince?" A gentle female voice came, and Jiang Liumian obviously felt her father's body tremble.
"I have made a mistake, please punish the prince's concubine." The servant named Jufang spread the snow-white brocade handkerchief on the stone bench and helped the master sit down. "I have been kneeling for a long time just now. You are here to rest and wait for the maids to find the prince, and the prince will come to pick you up."
"He won't come." The princess said lightly.
Jiang Liu looked through the stone hole and looked at the princely concubine Liu Ruyan of the Jianghou. Looking closer, she found that the woman's skin was as creamy as a dark cloud, her eyebrows were as bright as willow leaves, and her lips were as red as red. She was a pity for beauty. Her clean appearance was indeed very in line with her father's preferences.
The opportunity was rare. Jiang Liu put his face on the stone wall to look carefully, but his father covered his eyes and pressed them into his arms.
Jiang Liu...
When he was young, a little maid ran up and said anxiously, "I saw the prince going to the back hall, and the fourth girl from the Ning family in Shengdaofang also followed him."
"This bitch!" Jiang Liu heard Jufang gritting her teeth and cursing, "In order to enter the Marquis' Mansion, I chased the prince all day long, and I am really shameless! Madam, I help you over and shame her to death!"
Does the wife take someone to catch the mistress? When Jiang Liuzheng was thinking about various shots of tearing, he heard Liu Ruyan say quietly, "Let her go."
"Criminal Princess!" Ju Xiang stomped her feet with anger. You can't do this, so the prince will be pushed further and further by you.
“Go back to the room.”
Liu Ruyan's tone of a resentful woman in the deep boudoir came in, without the appearance of a prince's concubine having the right to be a formal wife.
After no one outside was gone again, Mr. Jiang Er took his daughter out of Changtianguan to get on the carriage and ordered, "Go to the Lotte Restaurant."
Jiang Bao, who was driving the car, whispered, "Second Master, the Kong family's carriage is heading east."
"Who said I want to follow him? I'm hungry!" Mr. Jiang Er angrily grabbed his daughter's fat claws and rubbed them.
Jiang Liu didn't want him to be hurt by someone else's wife, so he asked, "Dad, why did Liu Shizi do it in Changtianguan?"
Mr. Jiang was angry and never scattered to his beloved daughter, explaining, "It should be that the Majesty of Yijiang brought his family to the temple to do rituals and give alms."
He was also careless and didn't notice that there were carriages from the main entrance of Changtianguan. When he saw the way out just now, Mr. Jiang frowned irritably.
Jiang Liu said "Oh" and silently handed her second hand.
After the carriage entered the bustling western market, Jiang Erye suddenly said, "When Liuer chooses a husband, you should not only look at the other person's family background, but the first thing is character."
Hum? Jiang Liu blinked her eyes. Liu Cheng's appearance was far worse than his father, so Liu Ruyan married Liu Chengtu's family background. If so, she would have got what she wants now. What's the point of a resentful woman?
Just as Jiang Liu was thinking a lot, Mr. Jiang Er suddenly pinched her little face, "Forget it! You are so stupid, how can you know these things? Dad should choose it for you. If your father likes you, you have to marry if you don't like it! If your father doesn't like it, you can't marry if you like it! Did you hear it?"
Don't do to others what you do not want others to do to you, Jiang Liu asked seriously, "Just like - dad - dad - marry - mom - kiss?"
Mr. Jiang was stunned by his daughter's questioning and quickly added, "Then choose someone you like, too."
"father."
"Um?"
Jiang Liu raised his little head and asked sincerely, "What should I do if I find someone like this?"
Mr. Jiang thought for a while, "Then let's marry someone Liu'er likes. If he is not honest, let your brother beat him with a stick."
Jiang Liu nodded vigorously, "Okay."
The scene of Jiang Ling using the stick and the hammer was so cool. The father and daughter laughed at the same time as they thought about it.
Although the Lotte Food Mansion is not well-known, the fish is very delicious. However, when the tofu stewed fish was served, Jiang Erye picked a piece of fish thorn for his daughter, Jiang Bao came in, "Second Master, Kong Quanwu is here."
Jiang Liu...
Mr. Jiang lost interest, "Go and stare."
Not long after Jiang Bao left, he came back, "Second Master, Kong Quanwu's appointment this time is Meng Er! The third room in the local name."
Meng Er knew a lot of things. Kong Quanwu met him and might be able to hear the big news. Mr. Jiang put down his chopsticks and said, "You are here to help Liu'er pick fishbones, and I'll go."
Mr. Jiang said, "Come when you go", it was really fast. Before Jiang Liu finished a piece of tofu, he came back.
"Meng Er is indeed insidious. The people he brought to keep the doors and windows of the private room tightly!"
Jiang Bao immediately said, "Go down and try it?"
"You can't hear it even if you go!" Mr. Jiang rolled his eyes and waved to Jiang Bao. Jiang Bao immediately came to the second master, "You go out and spread the news secretly, and just say that in order to raise money to save Kong Neng, Kong Quanwu made an appointment with Meng Er to have a secret talk in the family."
Everyone in the West City knows that Kong Neng was dismissed from office and detained and fined silver. It is normal for the Kong family to rush to raise money to save people, but the Kong family and the Meng family are not in contact with each other. Why did the Kong family ask the Meng family to raise silver? Following this idea, there are several speculations, and any of them are not good for the Meng family.
Mr. Jiang was eating fish happily, feeling that he was simply too smart.
The conversation between Kong Quanwu and Meng Er soon parted in dissatisfaction. Kong Quanwu hurriedly and went to find a way elsewhere. About two quarters of an hour later, Meng Er walked out of the room and saw many people staring at him.
Meng Er raised his hand and looked down at his robe. He didn't notice anything wrong, so he walked out calmly with a warm smile.
Someone who is eccentric came forward and asked, "Mr. Meng Er, who are you drinking with?"
Of course, Meng Er would not answer directly, "My father-in-law is joking. Now it is the national mourning, how can I eat wine with others?"
The troublemaker simply asked directly, "Are you eating fish with Kong Neng's father? What did he ask you for?"
"Can you borrow money to save Kong?"
"Have you lent him?"
"Why did he borrow money from you?"
The audience asked in a verbal question, and Meng Er knew that someone had leaked the news. The more angry he was in his heart, the more he smiled, "Uncle Wu really wanted to borrow silver from the lower house. After the sister-in-law married into the Wang family, the relationship with the Kong family was harmonious, so the Meng family and the Kong family also had some contacts. The father-in-law didn't know that Uncle Wu not only found him, but also went to the Wang family and Jiang family."
Someone asked again, "Then why did Kong Quanwu come to the Wang family and Jiang family for help, and the Meng family just ask you for a conversation, and it is so mysterious?"
Meng Er smiled and said, "Everyone has seen it, how can you say it mysteriously? Uncle Wu did this because only women in my family are there, so it is not convenient for him to come to visit."
Why is it convenient for the Jiang family to visit? Because the men in the Jiang family have nothing to do and are unemployed at home!
Mr. Jiang Er in the private room heard Meng Er's words and held the chopsticks tightly. Meng Er, the sinister guy, was calling him useless!
"Mr. Meng Er is right! Then did you lend him money?"
