Chapter 74, return without success
"what happened?"
Master Jiang didn't go to the other side of the stage immediately, but asked Jiang Anbang's servant eagerly.
The servant had already found out the matter clearly, and quickly replied: "Young Master Cui has taken a fancy to Li Sanlang's horse, but Li Sanlang was unwilling to give it to him. Just when the two were about to fight, Governor Cai and General Zhuang came suddenly. "
"Li Qilang saw him, and stopped Governor Cai and General Zhuang loudly, and then pointed to Mr. Cui and filed a complaint."
"When Mr. Cui saw that Li Sanlang and Li Qilang knew Governor Cai and General Zhuang, and they were very familiar with him, he immediately said it was a misunderstanding, apologized to Li Sanlang, and then quickly left with his men."
After Mr. Jiang heard this, his eyes flickered continuously.
Li Sanlang and Li Qilang actually knew Governor Cai and Zhuang Yutang, which he never expected.
Looking at Governor Cai, who was smiling softly at Li Sanlang and Li Qilang in the stands, Mr. Jiang straightened his clothes and walked over.
In the stands, Governor Cai saw Li Qilang salivatingly staring at the pastry on his coffee table, and smiled and asked the servant to bring the pastry to him.
Li Qilang was a little embarrassed on the face, but he quickly took the pastry with his hand: "I will help the Governor taste the taste of the pastry to see if it is delicious."
As he spoke, he picked up a piece and took a big bite, his eyes lit up immediately.
"Well, not bad, not bad, the taste is very good."
The servant of the Cai Mansion raised his chin and smiled and said: "Of course not bad. The emperor was worried that my master would not be used to the food at the border, so he specially sent an imperial chef to serve him. This was specially made by the imperial chef."
Hearing this, Li Qilang's eyes widened immediately, and he exclaimed: "It's made by Yuchu, no wonder it's so delicious, brother, you should try it soon, after passing this village, there will be no such shop."
As he spoke, he stuffed a piece of pastry into Li Sanlang's hands involuntarily, hesitated for a while, and gave Jiang Anbang a piece too.
Jiang Anbang laughed, and ate the pastry generously.
Li Sanlang smiled awkwardly, glared at Li Qilang, and motioned for him to restrain himself.
Li Qilang was unmoved, instead he looked at Governor Cai and said, "Governor, it's so delicious, and it's a pastry made by the royal chef. Can I bring a few pieces back for my parents and two sisters to eat? Let them too." Also gain a lot of experience."
Governor Cai was amused by Li Qilang's appearance: "It's only a few yuan, you can eat it yourself. After returning home later, I will send someone to deliver some to your house again."
Li Qilang shyly said: "That's so embarrassing, but the governor is so kind, I'd rather be respectful than obedient." With a smile, he accelerated the speed of eating pastries, nodding his head in satisfaction while eating.
Seeing him like this, Governor Cai was overjoyed, and Zhuang Yutang smiled and shook his head.
This kid is really familiar, he doesn't know how to look outside at all!
When I came to Rongcheng, the food of the Li family must have improved, her face and body were round, and she smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, which was not annoying at all.
Li Sanlang wanted to cover his face with a headache, and turned his head to avoid seeing his brother's embarrassing appearance.
Jiang Anbang on the side was very surprised, surprised that the Sanlang brothers knew the governor so well.
Just then, Mr. Jiang arrived.
"Brother!"
Hearing Jiang Anbang's voice, everyone looked up and saw Mr. Jiang walking up to the stands.
"I have seen the governor, I have seen General Zhuang."
Governor Cai sat without moving. He didn't know Jiang Antai well. He had been busy since he came to the border. Except for seeing officials with real power, he had never seen a military general like Jiang Antai who had retired.
Zhuang Yutang stood up, cupped his fists towards Mr. Jiang, and then introduced to Governor Cai with a smile: "This is General Jiang Antai of Guangwei. General Jiang has made great achievements in resisting the invasion of Beiyan. When Rongcheng was raided, General Jiang was named General Guangwei by the late emperor."
As for why he was dismissed later, Zhuang Yutang didn't say anything.
Governor Cai nodded. He remembered that the Jiang family was here. Before coming to Rongcheng, he also inquired carefully about the aristocratic family here. The Jiang family is a relatively old family in Rongcheng.
Unfortunately, the case of the Prince Regent was involved, and now there is only one fourth-rank Guangwei General’s Mansion in the Chiang Mansion.
"Do you need something from me?"
Master Jiang heard the alienation in Governor Cai's tone, and his heart sank slightly. He looked at Li Sanlang and Li Qilang: "I'm here for Sanlang and Qilang. These two boys have caused trouble for the governor."
Li Qilang heard what he said, as if they had a good relationship, he glanced at his mouth, and was glared at by Li Sanlang, and then he turned his head away humming.
At this time, Governor Cai suddenly let out a 'huh', looked at Jiang Anbang in surprise, and said to Zhuang Yutang, "Yutang, have you noticed that Li Changsen and Jiang Shoubei look very similar."
Zhuang Yutang smiled and said, "You just found out?"
As soon as Jiang Anbang showed up, he noticed it.
Governor Cai's eyes widened suddenly, he looked at Jiang Anbang, then at Li Sanlang and Li Qilang, and said in shock, "Could it be that Li Changsen is your son?"
Jiang Anbang quickly denied: "No, no, Chang Sen is not my son, he is my nephew."
Governor Cai ignited a raging fire of gossip: "Your nephew? Tell me, what is going on?"
Jiang Anbang saw the interested look on Governor Cai's face, looked at Mr. Jiang, saw him nodded slightly, and told the story of Li Changsen being wronged.
After listening, Governor Cai and Zhuang Yutang were a little tongue-tied.
"Children can make mistakes, Shijia is really."
Governor Cai shook his head speechlessly, then looked at Li Sanlang and Li Qilang sympathetically: "It's really hard for you."
Li Qilang scratched the back of his head and said with a smile: "It's nothing to us, the main thing is my father, my father was bullied by the Li family!"
Governor Cai is not good at talking about family affairs, but thinking that Li Changsen almost died in Beiyan, he felt more and more sympathetic: "Speaking of your father, I forgot to ask, how is his health, is the injury healed?"
Li Sanlang: "Thank you, Governor, for your concern. My father's health has recovered."
Governor Cai: "That's good, my brat was sent back to the capital by me. I wrote a letter two days ago, saying that he can also go to the fields."
As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Antai and Jiang Anbang.
"Since Li Changsen is the son of the Shi family, is the family going to take them back?"
Master Jiang immediately nodded and said: "Of course, the Shi family has already sent someone over."
Hearing this, Li Qilang glanced at his mouth again, and winked at Li Sanlang for a while, causing Li Sanlang to stare at him fiercely.
Governor Cai nodded: "My own son must be taken home to recognize his ancestors. Li Changsen suffered a lot at the border. After taking him back, he will have to make up for him."
Said, and looked at Li Sanlang with a smile.
"I still want to persuade you to come and be my bodyguard. Now that the Shi family wants to recognize your father, you must go back to the capital. After returning to the capital, don't waste your kung fu. Your skills, work harder Practice, maybe you can get a champion in martial arts."
Li Sanlang hurriedly bowed and replied: "Thank you Governor for reminding me."
Jiang Antai and Jiang Anbang on the side were shocked when they heard this. They didn't expect Governor Cai to have such a high opinion of Li Sanlang.
At noon, Governor Cai called Li Sanlang and Li Qilang to his house for dinner, thinking about their relationship with Jiang Antai and Jiang Anbang, he also called them over together.
After lunch and talking for a while, Li Sanlang and the others left the Governor's Mansion.
"I didn't expect the governor to be so unassuming!"
Master Jiang didn’t answer, it wasn’t because the governor was arrogant, but because Li Sanlang and Li Qilang saved his only precious son.
With this kindness, Governor Cai will not put on airs.
Jiang Anbang looked at Li Sanlang and Li Qilang: "Let's go, Second Uncle will take you home."
Li Sanlang declined: "I still have to send the horse back to the bodyguard. General Jiang, Mr. Jiang, please do as you please. I will take Qilang and leave."
As he spoke, he and Li Qilang turned and left.
Looking at the alienated attitudes of Li Sanlang and Li Qilang, Jiang Anbang sighed a little: "Could it be that Chang Sen really doesn't intend to recognize Shi's family?"
Master Jiang looked at the food box in Li Qilang's hand, and said quietly: "He is the son of the Shi family, so he must go back and recognize his ancestors."
Jiang Anbang is not so optimistic: "I don't know what the Shi family will do with Zhengkun?"
Master Jiang: "Calculate the time, it's time for a letter in these two days, let's go, go home."
As soon as the two returned to Jiang's mansion, Mrs. Jiang came out to welcome them.
Jiang Zixiao came back first, and told his family that Li Sanlang and Li Qilang knew Governor Cai and Zhuang Yutang.
Mrs. Jiang couldn't wait to ask: "How did Sanlang and Qilang know Governor Cai?" It is not difficult to guess that they knew Zhuang Yutang. Li Changsen was on duty at Dieling Pass, so they would definitely meet.
Master Jiang pulled a long face: "Those two boys saved Young Master Cai."
Madam Jiang was shocked: "There is such a thing?"
Master Jiang was silent and did not speak, he was secretly reflecting on himself.
Before, he didn't pay much attention to the Nagamori family, otherwise, he wouldn't even get it wrong about Sanlang being promoted, and he wouldn't have known that Sanlang and Qilang had saved Lord Cai Xiaohou.
Hey, Jiang Sheng failed to investigate the matter clearly, which also shows that the Jiang family is getting weaker and weaker, and many things require him to come forward in person to find out the truth.
"Tomorrow, you can find a reason to go to Changsen's house again. It's okay to be so stalemate." Mr. Jiang said to Mrs. Jiang, and then shook his head.
"Forget it, after the letter from my little sister arrives, I will go there myself."
Mrs. Jiang was a little surprised. She looked at her husband's face. It seems that going to the Governor's Mansion for dinner this time has changed her husband's attitude towards the Changsen family a lot, and now he is about to bow his head voluntarily.
Also, who would have imagined that the Changsen family would be able to get acquainted with Governor Cai.
Governor Cai is the uncle of the current emperor!
That night, the letter from the Shi family arrived.
After reading the letter, knowing that the Shi family wanted Li Changsen to go back in a legitimate way, Mr. Jiang was not as opposed to it as before, but he was relieved.
The next day, with a letter from the Shi family, Master Jiang came to the Li family.
With the meeting with Governor Cai at the racetrack, Li Changsen's family guessed that the Jiang family would come to the door, but they didn't expect it to come so fast, and it was Mr. Jiang.
Li Qilang, Li Erya, and Li Wuya went to class, Jin Yuee went shopping, and there were only Li Changsen and Li Sanlang at home.
"General Jiang, please come in."
Looking at the alienated Li Changsen and Li Sanlang, Mr. Jiang frowned: "Does it have to be so unfamiliar?"
Li Sanlang said indifferently: "Our family doesn't understand many things, but it's only after the name is right that we know it."
Master Jiang didn't say anything, he walked into the courtyard of Li's family with his hands behind his back, and after entering the hall, he directly sat on the main seat.
"Look, this is a letter from the Shi family."
Li Sanlang glanced at Li Changsen, got up, took the letter and handed it to him.
Li Changsen opened the letter and began to read it. When he saw that the Shi family had made public the fact that the child had been carried by mistake, his heart was lifted, and his brows and eyes slowly relaxed.
After reading the letter, Li Changsen gave the letter to Li Sanlang.
After Li Sanlang had also read the letter, Mr. Jiang said, "The Shi family wants to acknowledge your sincerity, have you seen it?"
Li Sanlang didn't answer and asked instead: "What about the Li family? Do you still want to live in Shifu?"
Seeing that Li Sanlang was still holding on to Shi Zhengkun, Mr. Jiang was very unhappy: "Sanlang, you are an adult now, and I won't lie to you."
"Think about it for yourself. The Shi family has raised Zhengkun for more than 30 years and has invested huge financial and material resources. If you give up Zhengkun at this time, are you going to let the efforts of the Shi family be in vain?"
Li Sanlang: "I didn't ask the Shi family to give up the Li family, but if the Shi family wanted to take us back, they couldn't live under the same roof as the Li family."
Master Jiang became a little angry: "If you don't live under the same roof, isn't it just to drive Zhengkun's family out of Shifu?"
Li Sanlang immediately said: "If we don't want to, we don't have to stay in the Shifu. Anyway, we don't live under the same roof as the Li family."
"you"
Master Jiang got a little angry, and looked at Li Changsen: "Changsen, after your parents knew that you were wronged, they blamed themselves very much. Now they are trying their best to make up for their mistakes."
"You want to go back in a legitimate manner, and they did so. Now everyone in the capital probably knows that the Shi family held the wrong child back then."
"I know you have feelings for the Li family, but Zhengkun is innocent after all. Is it too much to drive him out of Shifu? Doing this is too embarrassing for your parents? Can't you be considerate of your parents?"
Li Sanlang saw that Mr. Jiang, like Mrs. Jiang, used Xiaoyi to persecute his father, and immediately stood up: "General Jiang, the Shi family wants to recognize my father and let him go back in a justifiable way. , there is no sacrifice or compromise for my father by the Shi family."
"As for not living under the same roof as the Li family, this is our family's decision, just like Mr. Jiang found out about my father, but he didn't recognize us immediately."
"You have your own considerations, and so do we."
"I admit that going back home is good for our family, but if you don't feel comfortable after going back, it's better not to go back."
Master Jiang looked a little uncomfortable, and his brows were frowned, but he still persuaded him: "Zheng Kun was raised by your grandmother, and he has no character or knowledge. He will get along well with you."
Li Sanlang sneered: "General Jiang Mo used words to coax me. To the Li family, our family is the most disgraceful evidence of his life experience. He will get along with us without any grievances?"
Master Jiang choked.
This conversation again failed.
Master Jiang returned to the Chiang Mansion angrily, and complained a lot to Mrs. Jiang: "It's just pushing an inch, and there is no family concept."
After losing his temper, he went to write a letter to Mrs. Shi full of helplessness.
Going down that day, after the three of Li Wuya returned home, Li Sanlang told them about Mr. Jiang's visit.
"Brother, you did the right thing. Fortunately, you are at home, otherwise, father and mother might really just go back to Shi's house."
"The four of us are not afraid to compare with the Li family. Dad will also go out to find errands, but mother."
"The back house of a high-ranking family is a battlefield without gunpowder. The wife married by the Li family must have a background, and my mother can't compare. If I live with their family, my mother may be more concerned."
Seeing that Li Wuya understands himself so well, Li Sanlang smiled: "That's what I think. We don't care about being compared, but Mother may not. Whoever is wronged by our family can't be wronged by Mother."
Li Erya and Li Qilang nodded hurriedly.
Li Qilang was a little worried: "Will the Shi family agree?"
Li Wuya smiled and said: "Now the initiative is in our hands. With the meeting with Governor Cai that day, they should be reluctant to part with this relationship."
