Jiang Huailu took a car to the Xie family's new mansion next to the Jingan Marquis Mansion, but did not see Xie Yu'an.
The concierge said that the young master and his wife had gone to have breakfast with Mr. Qiao next door and had not returned yet.
Jiang Huairu curled his lips and felt sour again.
Since the two of them got married, they have been together every day, and they have never been separated.
But it must be Xie Yuan who clings to Qiao Yin like a mangy dog, there is no doubt about it.
Why?
Because the day before yesterday, he asked him to come to the East Palace to discuss matters. Xie Yuan, a bitch, didn't want to go out, and he asked the prince to come to see him. It was really... treasonous! Angry and hateful!
Jiang Huairu's heart was full of slander, and he couldn't help but speed up his steps.
Because he grew up in the Xie family, the servants in the Xie family were also very familiar with him.
No need to lead the way, Jiang Huailu walked back on the familiar road.
I think back then, when Xie Yuan came back from Lintai County and was injured and unable to move around, he helped to build this mansion.
At that time, he was still wondering why he suddenly wanted to buy a mansion here when he had no shortage of houses in Beijing.
Who would have thought that he had prepared his own wedding room a year ago!
Think about it, this old thief is really...
That’s it! That’s it!
Jiang Huairu walked through the garden, and Xie Ren came towards him.
The two met each other, Jiang Huailu said hello and went to find Xie Qingxuan, but Xie Ren blocked his way.
"What?" Jiang Huailu glanced at him.
Xie Ren bit his lower lip, hesitated to speak, and finally said: "Nothing." Then he lowered his eyes and turned sideways to get out of the way.
Jiang Huailu saw through it without telling him, so he reached out and patted his face, "Thank you, Ren, you deserve it!"
Xie Ren was unhappy, so he imitated his example, reached out and patted his face, and said with a smile: "Jiang Huailu, you deserve it!"
Jiang Huailu was puzzled. Xie Ren pointed in the direction of the garden and gloated:
"My second uncle invited an old friend from Beijing to our home as a guest. He also brought a handsome young man with him, and he is drinking tea with Xiaojiu in the garden and admiring the plum blossoms."
Jiang Huairu's expression changed, he immediately let go of his hand, and walked quickly towards the garden with a sullen face.
As soon as he entered the archway of the garden, he saw Xie Qingxuan sitting face to face with a strange man in the pavilion next to the plum tree.
The man was extraordinarily handsome, dressed in brocade clothes, and had an outstanding temperament. He didn't know what he said to Xie Qingxuan, which made Xie Qingxuan cover her mouth and roll her eyes.
Jiang Huairu's eyes darkened and he walked over expressionlessly.
"What are you talking about? Are you so happy?" Jiang Huailu asked loudly while standing outside the pavilion.
The laughter in the pavilion stopped suddenly. Xie Qingxuan did not expect Jiang Huailu to appear here, and her expression was stunned.
The young man sitting opposite looked at Jiang Huailu and Xie Qingxuan in confusion, "Xiaojiu, who is this?"
Xiaojiu?
Ah.
Xie Qingxuan came to her senses and was about to introduce him when Jiang Huailu waved his hand and said first: "I am Xiaojiu's cousin, and my surname is Jiang."
Xie Qingxuan looked at Jiang Huailu in astonishment.
Jiang Huailu turned a blind eye and stepped into the pavilion, standing between the two of them.
When the strange man saw Jiang Huailu coming and going freely in the back house of the Xie family, he also assumed that he was a relative of the Xie family, so he politely handed over his hand and said:
"Cousin Jiang is polite. My surname is Xu, and my last name is "Nian". My father and Mr. Xie are old friends. I heard that Uncle Xie was in Beijing, so I came here to visit."
Xu Nian is only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he is polite and well-controlled. He is indeed outstanding.
Cousin Jiang nodded: "Brother Xu Xian, please sit down."
Cousin Jiang asked Xu Nian to take a seat, but he sat down next to Xie Qingxuan.
Xie Qingxuan glanced at him, but Jiang Huailu still turned a blind eye, his eyes only on Xu Nian opposite him.
"What were you talking about just now?"
Xu Nian smiled and said: "I told Xiaojiu about my childhood. When I was young, I went to Huaizhou once with my father and met Xiaojiu once. At that time, Xiaojiu had lost all his front teeth and was still making noises about eating candy. She cried so much that she was very pitiful."
"Brother Xu, please don't talk about the embarrassing things in the past." Xie Qingxuan said sheepishly.
Brother Xu?
Oh, thank you Xiaojiu, thank you Xiaojiu, you are really capable!
Even if there are so many brothers at home, is there still a ‘Brother Xu’ outside?
Where did Brother Xu come from?
Why didn't he know?
He has met all the relatives and friends around Xie Qingxuan. How come he never knew that there was such a number one person as Xu Nian?
Jiang Huailu was puzzled and felt very unhappy. It feels like someone is blatantly picking the door lock and stealing the house right under your nose, but there is nothing you can do about it.
It's really abominable!
Xu Nianzheng was about to tell some old stories to get closer, but suddenly he felt a cold air coming towards him. When he raised his eyes, he saw Xie Qingxuan's cousin looking at him with a strange look, which was cold and pitiful. A sudden chill ran down his back.
Did he say the wrong thing just now?
Xu Nian quickly reflected on himself, and the expression on his face became tense.
Xie Qingxuan noticed that Xu Nian looked unnatural, and kicked his cousin under the table.
Cousin Jiang remained unmoved, with a half-hearted smile on his face.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Xie Qingxuan kicked him again and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Didn't you eat that candy man in the end? Jiang! Cousin! Brother!"
Jiang Huailu suddenly remembered that one year he was ill and bedridden. He teased Xie Qingxuan and said that the medicine was too bitter to take. Later, Xie Qingxuan brought a candy man to coax him to take the medicine.
"Haha, we Xiaojiu are indeed very greedy. Come, Xu Xiandi, have some tea."
Jiang Huailu raised his hand and poured Xu Nian a cup of tea.
Xu Nian was astonished - in just that moment, the cousin's face turned from cold and frosty to full of spring breeze, just like turning a book.
Xu Nian took a sip of tea and said, "Xiaojiu, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and there are lantern festivals all over the capital. It's very lively. Do you want to go to enjoy the lanterns together tomorrow?"
"She's not going."
Before Xie Qingxuan could open his mouth, Jiang Huailu answered first.
Xu Nian, who was opposite him, was confused again and looked at Jiang Huailu suspiciously.
Xie Qingxuan ignored Jiang Huailu and responded enthusiastically: "Okay, I've been in the capital for so long and I haven't been to a lantern festival yet."
Seeing that Cousin Jiang's expression had obviously darkened again, Xu Nian smiled, turned to Xie Qingxuan and said, "Then I'll wait for you at the door of Zuixiangju tomorrow night."
Xu Nian and Xie Qingxuan made an appointment to enjoy the lanterns together, so they stood up to say goodbye. When Xie Qingxuan was about to get up to see them off, Jiang Huairu suddenly coughed in the wind.
Xie Qingxuan looked at Xu Nian and then at Jiang Huailu.
Xu Nian smiled, "Is my cousin weak? The weather is cold. My cousin should stay indoors to avoid catching a cold."
Jiang Huailu was stunned, but seeing that Xie Qingxuan only asked his servants to send Xu Nian off and did not get up, he didn't care.
Recruitment is not impressive enough, but it is useful.
Jiang Huailu leaned on Xie Qingxuan's shoulder, "Quick, give it to my cousin."
