Chapter 63, a twists and turns of life experience
"Brother, who is Li Changsen?"
"What did you mean when you said that he is the younger sister's son?"
Jiang Anbang looked at Jiang Antai in astonishment and doubt: "Brother, what are you hiding from me?"
Jiang Antai looked at his brother's stubborn gaze, knowing that he would not give up until he made it clear to him today, sighed, and waved him to sit down.
"Do you still remember that when your father passed away, your little sister came back to attend the funeral with a big belly?"
Jiang Anbang nodded: "Of course I remember, I still remember the day my brother-in-law left with my little sister, just in time for Beiyan to raid Rongcheng, which caused my little sister to move her fetus and gave birth to a baby in a ruined temple outside the city." Zheng Kun."
As he spoke, his complexion changed, as if he had thought of something.
Jiang Antai sighed again: "It was not only the younger sister who gave birth in the ruined temple that day, but also the wife of a military household. The children of the two families were wrongly held."
As he spoke, he signaled Jiang Sheng to tell Jiang Anbang about the Li family he found out.
Jiang Anbang was stunned after hearing this: "How can you hold the wrong child? My little sister is surrounded by so many maids, how could such an outrageous thing happen?"
Jiang Antai shook his head, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Rong City was raided that day, and everyone was in a panic, and the little girl gave birth early, so it is possible that the maid made a mistake."
Jiang Anbang still didn't believe it: "Brother, have you investigated clearly? Are you sure that Li Changsen is the son of my younger sister?"
Jiang Sheng said: "Second Master, Li Changsen looks seventy-eight percent like you. You have also seen his little daughter, the little girl who looks exactly like the third girl."
"I've met the old man and the old lady of the Li family, and Fourth Master Zhengkun's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to them."
"By the way, Li Changsen's family did a blood test on the spot in order to separate from the Li family. Now everyone in Tianlingtun knows that Li Changsen is not the parent of the Li family."
Listening to this, Jiang Anbang fell silent. After a while, he suddenly looked at Jiang Antai: "Brother, since you have confirmed that Li Changsen is the son of my younger sister, why didn't you tell me?"
Jiang Antai remained silent.
Jiang Anbang asked again: "Brother, have you written to my little sister about this?"
Jiang Antai still didn't speak, Jiang Anbang stood up abruptly: "Brother, if I didn't overhear your conversation by accident today, are you going to hide it all?"
Mrs. Jiang outside the door saw Jiang Anbang showing signs of anger, and hurried in: "Second brother, don't worry, your elder brother has his considerations."
Jiang Anbang: "What else needs to be considered about this matter? The younger sister's biological son is living outside, and we, as brothers, found out, shouldn't we tell her immediately?"
Jiang Antai raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Anbang: "It's not difficult to tell my little sister, but have you thought about telling her what will happen next? The son who has worked so hard to raise for more than 30 years is not his own. Can my little sister bear this?" Hit?"
Jiang Anbang: "Then you have to tell her, you can't keep her in the dark and treat other people's sons as your own."
Jiang Antai was silent: "What about Zhengkun? If he knows that he is not the son of the Shi family, how do you let him deal with himself?"
Jiang Anbang frowned: "He was not the son of the Shi family in the first place. To put it bluntly, he has occupied everything that belongs to Li Changsen for more than 30 years. Now that the rightful lord is back, if he is sensible, he should give way appropriately. .”
This made Jiang Antai disagree: "Give way? It's easy for you to say. Yes, Zhengkun is not related to the Shi family by blood, but the Shi family has been raising him as their own son for more than 30 years. They have been together for so many years. Come down, he has long been a member of the Shi family, how do you let him leave the Shi family?"
Jiang Anbang was a little dissatisfied with Jiang Antai talking to Shi Zhengkun: "I didn't let him leave Shi's house, I just want him to return everything that belongs to Li Changsen."
Jiang Antai pursed his lips tightly: "Second brother, it was not Zhengkun's fault that the child was held wrong back then."
Jiang Anbang didn't understand why his eldest brother always favored Shi Zhengkun, and said angrily, "Brother, I'm not wrong about Zhengkun, it's a fact that he is not the real son of the Shi family, and it is reasonable for him to give way to Li Changsen." right?"
Jiang Antai: "Second brother, your consideration of issues is based entirely on blood relationship, but there are feelings between people, and you can't ignore the relationship between Zhengkun and the Shi family."
"If Li Changsen informs my little sister rashly of his existence, it will not only hurt Zheng Kun, but also the other members of the Shi family."
Jiang Anbang became a little angry: "Brother, what's the matter with you, why are you always facing Zhengkun? The person who was hurt should be Li Changsen, and Zhengkun is the biggest beneficiary."
Jiang Antai looked at Jiang Anbang, seeing that he only looked at things on the surface, so he had to say clearly: "The Shi family spent a lot of resources on Zhengkun, Zhengkun is now working in the Imperial Academy, and my younger sister has spent even more money." Dali made a good marriage for him."
"Second brother, the Shi family and our family have been suppressed for many years. Now that the new emperor has registered, it is time for us to make a comeback, but someone needs to make a comeback."
"The Shi family, as well as our family, now the most promising person is Zheng Kun"
Speaking of this, Jiang Antai stopped.
Jiang Anbang understood what he meant, was stunned for a moment, and then began to shake his head: "Brother, I disagree. No matter how much you think about it, the child belongs to the younger sister."
"Whether she admits it or not, she has to decide by herself. Even if we are his elder brother, we can't help her decide. If you don't write to my little sister, I will!"
Jiang Antai saw that Jiang Anbang couldn't make any sense, and was a little annoyed: "Do you think you are really doing it for my little sister? Don't you know how much my little sister loves Zheng Kun?"
"Now you tell her that Zheng Kun is not his biological son, but Li Changsen is the one who has never met. One has been raised for more than 30 years, and the other is his own. How do you want the younger sister to choose?"
Jiang Anbang was silent for a moment, still maintaining the previous point of view: "The son belongs to the younger sister, and this matter is up to the younger sister to decide." After saying that, he left without looking back.
Jiang Antai saw it, and sighed helplessly: "I knew I couldn't let him know about this."
Mrs. Jiang, who had been silent all this time, spoke up: "Second brother is also right. It is really wrong not to tell little sister about this."
Jiang Antai: "...I didn't say no, I just wanted to wait a little longer."
The Li family.
Jin Yuee was cooking in the kitchen when she heard a knock on the door, thinking that some children had come back, she trotted to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, seeing Jiang Anbang standing outside, he froze on the spot.
Like, so much alike!
The eyebrows and eyes of this person in front of me are so similar to those of her husband!
Is this the husband's real father?
Why did he come to the door suddenly?
Did he know the existence of her husband? Are you here now to recognize your husband?
Seeing that Jin Yuee was stunned and did not respond, Jiang Anbang coughed: "Can the old man go in?"
Jin Yuee came back to her senses, nodded hurriedly, turned sideways to let Jiang Anbang in, and followed behind very cautiously.
Jiang Anbang looked carefully at the Li family's yard, noticed Jin Yue'e's uneasiness, and said with a smile: "The yard is well cleaned up, are you the only one at home?"
Jin Yuee nodded: "The head of the family and Saburo have not come back from running darts, Qilang is studying at the government school, and Erya and Wuya are studying at Mrs. Qiao's on the next street."
As he spoke, he greeted Jiang Anbang and went to the hall to sit down, made tea for Jiang Anbang awkwardly, and then didn't know what to say.
Jiang Anbang was not one to greet politely, so he was silent for a while, and asked straight to the point about Li Changsen.
Knowing that Li Changsen was having a bad time in the Li family, Jiang Anbang was very angry: "Why did you separate from the Li family?"
Jin Yuee glanced at Jiang Anbang: "The head of the family has been to Rongcheng and met you."
Jiang Anbang was puzzled: "So, he knows his life experience?"
Jin Yuee nodded.
Jiang Anbang: "Then you came to Rongcheng, why didn't you go to Jiang's house?"
Jin Yue'e didn't answer these words, but just shook her head.
Jiang Anbang sighed, and just about to say something, he heard voices coming from outside the courtyard, and then, he saw the girl who looked like his little sister ran in with a happy smile holding a Guqin.
"Mom, we're back."
As soon as Li Wuya entered the courtyard, she saw Jiang Anbang sitting on the main seat of the hall. She was surprised, and walked up with a smile: "Hey, there are guests at home!"
Li Erya, who was one step behind and entered the courtyard, saw Jiang Anbang with a more surprised look on his face than Li Wuya, but he quickly restrained his emotions and walked into the room quickly.
"Don't be rude, I've seen it soon. I've seen it"
Jin Yuee didn't know how to address Jiang Anbang.
Li Wuya helped her out with a smile: "Mother, I know him, he is the defense of Rongcheng, Mr. Jiang." Saying this, he blessed his body with Li Erya, "I have met Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Anbang smiled and asked the two to stand up, looking at Li Wuya with obvious joy in his eyes: "How do you know about this old man?"
Li Wuya first pulled Jin Yue'e, who was standing in the hall like a maid, to sit down on the upper right chair, and then walked to the upper left chair and sat down.
Her mother didn't even know what to call her, so it can be seen that this person didn't recognize her father.
In this case, he is just a guest.
As for the guests, it is enough to treat each other with courtesy. There is really no need for the set of rules that the elders cannot sit without letting them sit.
After sitting down, Li Wuya smiled and said: "Because you look a lot like my father, when my sister and I saw you outside the commander's house last time, I asked the people next to you, and they told you mine."
"Master Jiang, why did you come to our house? Are you looking for us?"
Looking at Li Wuya, who dared to ask himself questions and was not at all restrained, the smile on Jiang Anbang's face deepened.
This girl not only looks like a little girl, but also has a temperament!
"The old man also couldn't help but want to come and take a look because someone said that your father looks a lot like me."
Li Wuya smiled: "Well, in fact, there are all kinds of wonders in the world. It's too normal for two people to look alike. It's not a rare thing."
"My father is not at home, Mr. Jiang, you have made a futile trip today."
This answer surprised Jiang Anbang. Although the Jiang family is going downhill now, they still have some power in Rongcheng. The Li family, who came from a military household, shouldn't be so calm even if they don't flatter them.
Jiang Anbang glanced at the three people in the hall. Well, only Li Changsen's wife reacted most normally. When she saw him, she was stiff and at a loss.
But the two little girls are too calm.
The younger one greeted him directly as if familiar; the older one was more stable and listened to them very seriously.
It's a bit abnormal!
Although he is not a big shot, he should have some weight in front of the Li family.
Jiang Anbang was thinking about this, and said with a smile: "It's not in vain to see you, do you know, you look like my sister."
Hearing this, Li Wuya's expression became richer, obviously very surprised: "Who is Mrs. Jiang's younger sister?"
Jiang Anbang was worried that he didn't know how to talk about the Shi family to the Li family, so he immediately said, "My sister is the countess of the Wuchang uncle's mansion in the capital."
Li Wuya showed a look of amazement in a face-saving way: "I didn't expect Mrs. Jiang's younger sister to be so noble. Countess, this is the first time I've heard of it."
Jiang Anbang sighed: "The countess sounds very stylish, but the more expensive the status, the more complicated things are, and the life may not be comfortable."
Next, Jiang Anbang kept talking about the countess.
The more Li Wuya listened, the more confused she became, and she couldn't figure out why Jiang Anbang came to their house.
If it is said that he came to recognize her father, but he hardly mentioned it, and most of what he said revolved around his sister of the countess.
What the **** is this old man doing?
"Do you know that you not only look like the old man's sister, but you also have a similar temperament. If you are seen by someone who is familiar with the Jiang family, they will definitely say that you are the countess's granddaughter."
Hearing this, Li Wuya's heart shook.
She wouldn't naively think that Mr. Jiang came to chat with them. If he wasn't chatting, then every word he said must have a meaning, and there must be no unintentional words.
So, what did he mean when he said she was like his sister's granddaughter?
"In the seventh year of Jianxing, the old man's father passed away. My younger sister came back to attend the funeral with a big belly. She was also unlucky to encounter Beiyan's raid on Rongcheng, so that she had to give birth in a ruined temple. That childbirth hurt her."
Li Wuya was stunned. If she still didn't understand what Jiang Anbang meant, then she would be a stickler.
No way, her father's life experience is so full of twists and turns.
Not the son of the Jiang family, but the son of the capital's uncle's mansion? !
"Okay, the old man should go, wait for your father to come back, the old man will come again."
Jiang Anbang got up together, and Jin Yuee hurriedly greeted Li Erya and Li Wuya to send them off.
The mother and daughter watched Jiang Anbang ride out of the alley before returning to the house.
"Five, what does Master Jiang mean?"
"Why does he always talk about his countess's sister?"
Jin Yuee and Li Erya also noticed something strange, and looked at Li Wuya asking for confirmation.
Li Wuya rubbed her face: "He seems to mean that it should be. Daddy is not his son, but his sister's son."
Jin Yuee and Li Erya were stunned.
"Why is it related to the Earl's Mansion in the capital?" Jin Yue'e couldn't accept it.
Li Erya was puzzled and said, "Then why didn't Master Jiang say so clearly?"
Li Wuya stroked his chin and said, "I guess he hasn't gotten along well with the capital yet." As he spoke, he sighed, "Our father's life experience is really bloody."
