With that, the corners of his lips curled up slightly. Four servants carried the palanquin and slowly left.
Second Brother Jiang frowned. Was she reminding him that he was being too high-profile? In fact, he did not tell her the reason why he could see through her identity. After he was born, he realized that he was born with the ability to see through the secrets of heaven. However, he did not have enough spiritual power. He could only do it once a day. It took a lot of spiritual power to do a divination. Today, he had an extra divination. He saw through Shen Jiang. The other divination was placed on the gambling table. That was why he was so confident in asking for a re-bet and winning the game.
He wondered if the heavens had taken pity on him and given him the inheritance of the Divination of Heaven's Secrets. His divine sense penetrated the white veil and saw the Shen family's symbol on her zither. There was also the tattoo of the Shen royal family on her hand. It could be seen that this person was extremely noble and narcissistic. Perhaps she was not very good, but she had especially high requirements. Anything that belonged to her had to be marked with her mark.
When they returned to the rundown courtyard, no one would have thought that the Second Prince of the Lu Kingdom would be forced to live in such a dirty and messy place. As soon as he entered the door, the servant Wu Ji saw him return with a bruised face. His brocade clothes were wet and he was in a sorry state. He hurriedly came forward and said,"Young Master, why did you come back in the rain? Hurry up and go into the house to wash up.”Chef Li walked out and rolled his eyes at him."I say, Young Master, you went to gamble and fight with others again. You're always like this. What should we do as servants?”
"Since when did you stop cooking?" Second Brother Jiang sneered. It's okay, Chef. You're still young and beautiful. If you can be sold to a brothel, you can still get some money.”Chef Li was a woman in her mid-twenties. When she heard this, her expression changed drastically. She quickly changed into a loyal and crying face."Young master, how can you say that? After all, this servant was arranged by the late king for you and has never abandoned you these past few years. How could you sell this servant after losing all your money? Moreover, you even sold her to a brothel.”Wu Ji also ran out to help Chef Li. He pointed at Second Brother Jiang arrogantly."Master is wrong. The chef is an old servant of the Lu Kingdom. How can he say that he was sold to a brothel? The servants have always been loyal and did not miss out on the second prince's food, drink, and entertainment. It was the second prince who was addicted to gambling and blamed us for losing money. Now that everyone was in trouble, it was hard to say whether or not his uncle had sent someone to assassinate Young Master!”
"Wu Ji, how can you be so rude to the second prince? No matter what, the second prince is still the master. We are servants. We can only listen to whatever the master says.”Chef Li played along. When Wu Ji heard her words, he became even more arrogant."Hmph, what prince? What master? Now, he's not even worthy of being called young master. In the Lu Kingdom, he's just a rat on the streets that everyone hates and kills. Even us servants have been implicated. I think it's better for us to disperse early and go our separate ways! I don't want to starve to death in Zhaoge." Chef Li hid in the dark and smiled sinisterly. He wanted to see how this young master would beg them to change their minds. If he left them, he would be dead in Zhaoge.
"Alright, I agree with you! Turn back five steps, then turn left, and keep walking!”Second Brother Jiang suddenly said loudly. Wu Ji and Chef Li were shocked. They looked at Second Brother Jiang in surprise. They had only said it arrogantly just now. In the past, this would usually work. They did not expect this young master to really agree today. The problem was that the two of them had the task of the new king. They were sent by their uncle to monitor Second Brother Jiang after the rebellion. They might not leave until they completed the task.
Second Brother Jiang continued," I agree to go our separate ways. But we are master and servant, so there must be an explanation. Tiger, go and get my account book and treasure chest."”Dragon-Whiskered Tiger nodded and walked in to take out the account book and an exquisitely carved rosewood box. Jiang the Second flipped through the account book and found that the money sent to Zhaoge from the Lu Kingdom every year was enough for these people to spend a few years. However, the rosewood box was empty in less than a year. Even the pair of Qilin jade pendants that his mother had given him had disappeared. That was his mother's beloved item, even the Crown Prince of Great Yin missed it! In the past, Second Brother Jiang always wore it on his body. Although Second Brother Jiang won less and lost more in the gambling house, he won a lot of money. He only lost a few times and didn't lose money. Moreover, he made a lot of money!
"Go and take out Chef Li and Wu Ji's bags.”Second Brother Jiang said to Dragon Whisker Tiger, and Dragon Whisker Tiger went to receive the order. Chef Li and Wu Ji immediately became nervous. In the past, Young Master would never check on these things. The account book and box were placed there without even looking at them. Why was he doing this today? If he knew that Second Brother Jiang was playing a long game to catch a big fish, he would pretend to be stupid for a day like feeding pigs. If he hadn't been raised like this, how could he have found evidence so quickly today? Dragon Whisker Tiger took out their bags. Second Brother Jiang casually threw them on the ground and rummaged through them. In the end, he really found a lot of jewelry that should have belonged to the account book.
Second Brother Jiang's eyes turned cold as he looked at the two of them.""The two of you, I say, you two are really bold and shameless enough to actually dare to steal from your master! Are you two chivalrous? Was it loyalty? Was he handsome? Was he loved by everyone? You're really muddle-headed as a servant!”Chef Li and Buji were so frightened by his cold gaze that they knelt on the ground and trembled."Young Master, Young Master, you've wronged us! We didn't steal anything!”"You didn't steal it? Did he hear wrongly? I don't think I have enough money to grow my legs, right?”"Weren't you two crying just now?" Second Brother Jiang sneered. How did these things that belonged to the second prince suddenly grow legs? He ran into your bags. What's going on now? Do you really need me to report it to the authorities before you'll admit it?”When they heard that, the two of them were so scared that they kowtowed.
"Young Master, please spare my life, Young Master, please spare my life. This servant knows our mistake and won't dare to do it again!”"Didn't we say that we'll go our separate ways? This prince doesn't want to keep people like you who are betraying others.”At this moment, two strong men walked in and looked at him. Second Brother Jiang nodded indifferently. He pulled Chef Li and Wu Ji over his shoulder and walked out.
"The two of you have already sold it to us.”When Chef Li and Wu Ji heard this, they immediately cried loudly and struggled with all their might. However, they were knocked unconscious by the two men and carried away. "Young Master, where did you sell Chef Li and Wu Ji?”Dragon-Whiskered Tiger was a little stunned. He did not expect his young master to be so decisive in killing. He was completely different from before. He was happy that his master was finally no longer bullied by others, but he also felt that this young master was extremely unfamiliar.
"They sold it to a faraway place. They will definitely enjoy it there! Those who abused this prince will be tortured back in this lifetime!”Second Brother Jiang sneered. Ignoring and allowing corruption was called raising pigs. After he had fattened them, he could cook them. Otherwise, how could he have an excuse to kill these spies sent by his uncle to spy on him? If they had kept an eye on the accounts from the beginning, they would not have been greedy. Then, they would not have been able to find an excuse to get rid of the spies sent by their uncle!
Long Xu and Hu felt a chill in their hearts. Facing such a young master, they actually became timid."Dragon Whisker Tiger, boil water for me to bathe.”Second Brother Jiang said calmly and walked into the house. On the way back, he had planned to get rid of Chef Li and Buji. They were servants in name, but they were actually pawns sent by his uncle. Only Long Xu Hu was by his side, and he was the only one who was loyal to him. The Dragon Whisker Tiger with an extremely ugly single leg looked like both a dragon and a tiger. It was the first Divine Beast that Second Brother Jiang had contracted. The warm water quickly filled the bathtub." Pick up the jewelry and stuff. Other than the Qilin pendant that Consort Mother left for my family, sell the rest!"”Long Xu Hu nodded and left.
This place was quiet and quiet, and the night breeze was refreshing. The mountains were high, and the moon was small. The merchant, who was full of oil, looked at the young master in green clothes in front of him with his triangular eyes. Second Brother Jiang looked around the entire house. He could see the vast mountains in the distance. He could see the flowing water outside the door. The courtyard was filled with the fragrance of flowers. The small bridge and flowing water were quiet and leisurely. It was a good house."How much?" "Three thousand taels of silver." When the merchant heard the price, he beamed with joy.
"Three thousand taels of silver isn't a large sum, but such a perfect and quiet place has been left empty until now. I seem to have heard that the feng shui here is extremely bad! A duke bought this place and died the next day!”Second Brother Jiang turned around and smiled. He looked at the merchant with his sharp eyes."Ah, he died the next day? Young Master is so scary." When Dragon Whisker Tiger heard that a certain Marquis had died without a full day of sleep, his expression changed and he looked around timidly. The merchant was embarrassed." Young Master, what are you talking about? It's just hearsay from the common people. You can't believe everything!" How could such a good house be affected by Feng Shui? Birth, aging, illness, and death are human nature. If everyone is immortal, how can we have a foothold in this world? Getting rid of the old and taking in the new was the norm of the world. It was also a joyous occasion for that Marquis Tianming to go east after transforming into Dao!”
Was that so? Don't believe it all: " Look at the traitors in front of the door and the evil spirits in front of the hall. It seems that there are quite a lot of them! Feng Shui was dispensable. It was difficult to move mountains and fill the sea, but a slight change would cost a few thousand taels! It's a great feng shui change! If it can be reduced, it can still be considered. Sir, your asking price is so high, so let it remain empty. I don't believe in feng shui, but I don't know if other owners will believe it?”Second Brother Jiang said indifferently and walked away. Dragon-Whiskered Tiger was so happy that he hurriedly followed. "Hey, hey, hey. Young Master, since you want it, tell me the price you can offer.”"One thousand taels." Second Brother Jiang was very pleased.
"One thousand taels, isn't Young Master robbing? One thousand taels of silver was not enough to buy a piece of land in Zhaoge. Chaoge had been speculating in real estate for so long, and the government and the merchants were colluding. Even half of such a big piece of land couldn't be worth that much. Moreover, if he bought it, he could still appreciate it!”"Then forget it. Let your broken house be empty. Maybe you can recruit more Guhun Ye or something! It was bustling! They had gathered a table where they could play mahjong and shake dice!”Second Brother Jiang said calmly and continued to walk forward.
Dragon Whisker Tiger, who had just fallen, smiled again. Master had finally thought it through. He would rather live in a large courtyard than live in this broken house! The merchant was restless. One had to know that if it was empty, there would be no money or interest. One thousand taels was too much of a loss. After thinking about it, he still compromised." Alright, alright. Young Master, please hold on. One thousand taels it is. Consider it as making a friend. Who knows, we might have business dealings in the future."”"Dragon Whiskered Tiger, pay up!" Second Elder Jiang laughed.”Dragon-bearded Tiger was unwilling. He was angry when he saw the merchant's flattering expression.
He took out a banknote from his bag and handed it to the merchant unwillingly."Give me the title deed!" The merchant thought that this young master was quite straightforward. In the past, customers would only pay after they tried staying. He did not expect this young master to pay without saying anything. He quickly took out the title deed and gave it to Dragon Whisker Tiger."Young Master is straightforward, but as a businessman, I have to remind you that after you hand over the deed, this house is yours.”"Naturally, the most important thing in business is honesty.”Second Brother Jiang said calmly.
"Young Master is indeed a forthright person, but I have to remind you again that you should rest early at night and not wander around to avoid accidents like the last few times.”After saying that, he swaggered out and closed the door.
"What do you mean by 'ah'? Young Master, why do you have to buy this house? You already know that there's a fengshui problem.”"What are you afraid of? Silly girl, do you really believe in Feng Shui? I'm just fooling you. What's wrong with this house? That Marquis was originally suffering from a terminal illness and wanted to find a good place to recuperate. However, he died before he even entered the residence. A good place with good feng shui, how could anyone not be virtuous live in it!”"But the people outside said that there are really ghosts here. There are ghosts in black, red, and white. The dragon and tiger are really afraid!”
"Alright, hurry up and pack up. Any place with good feng shui will have supernatural phenomena. These black, red, and white ghosts are condensed into spirits. When people cultivate here, they will be ten times faster than in the outside world! Why were those so-called ghosts dressed in those kinds of pure colors? He didn't even think about it? Did ghosts not need to wash their clothes? Even if you don't wash it, can't you change the color? You don't know how many clothes a ghost had when they were alive, and how many clothes they had after they died! Those so-called ghosts in pure colors are actually the manifestation of the spiritual power of the five elements. Black represents the gathering of water-type true essence, red represents the gathering of fire-type true essence, and white represents the gathering of gold-type true essence. If there really are ghosts, your young master is specialized in catching ghosts. When ghosts see me, they have to detour, understand?”Before he could finish his words, Dragon-Whiskered Tiger fell asleep early in fear. Only Second Brother Jiang was left sitting in Maple Forest Court drinking tea. His gaze pierced through the wall opposite him and saw a white-robed young master sitting in the room opposite. In front of him was a seven-stringed zither.
He hadn't seen her face clearly during the day. But now, he could see her very clearly. She was dressed in snow-white clothes and had an enchanting figure. She sat quietly, thinking far away. She gave people the feeling of a modest beauty who was as gentle as jade. However, this fake young master was too cold. She was as bright as the moon, but as cold as ice. It was as if the wind could not disturb her at all. After not seeing her for half a day, my heart was quiet.
Second Lord Jiang had seen countless beauties. Some were elegant, some were cool, some were arrogant, some were ruthless, some were charming, but Shen Jiang was the only one who was so beautiful. Shen Jiang quietly listened to the sound of the wind blowing through the bamboo leaves. She liked silence and enjoyed the beauty of tranquility.
Second Brother Jiang was so engrossed in her that he suddenly looked into her eyes. His heart skipped a beat and he actually became nervous. He knew that there was a wall between them and she couldn't see him, but when their eyes met, he actually couldn't control himself.
It turned out that not only was this woman's hand holding the zither beautiful, but even her eyes were so beautiful. Her eyes were as black as ink and as vast as the sea of stars. One could not help but fall into them. If it wasn't for that wall, he probably wouldn't dare to look into her eyes so blatantly. Shen Jiang's lips curled up into an almost imperceptible smile. Her hands plucked the zither, and the two maids immediately fell behind her.
"Go, clean up the dirty things.”she said calmly. The two female attendants nodded respectfully and disappeared in a flash. This scene was completely captured by Second Brother Jiang. He was curious about what she was talking about. In this moment of absent-mindedness, the tea was already cold. He casually poured it over the flowers. Suddenly, the surrounding atmosphere became a little strange. His posture tensed up, and his hand holding the teacup tightened. Yan Nian is a beautiful woman, gentle as jade. In her plank house, she confuses my heart!
This must be the real reason why Second Brother Jiang bought this Fengshui house! You understand.
At Lover's Slope in Zhaoge Forest, he finally met Princess Shen Jiang.
Second Brother Jiang noticed Shen Jiang's awkwardness and stuffed a pair of silver chopsticks into her hands. He picked up a piece of fragrant and tender beastie meat and put it into the small saucer beside him. He dipped it gently and stuffed it into his mouth."It tastes good! Eat." Princess Shen Jiang saw that Second Brother Jiang was enjoying his meal. She gritted her teeth and sat down. She picked up a piece of meat that Second Brother Jiang had roasted and dipped it in the sauce beside him. Then, she stuffed it into her mouth. Then, his eyes lit up, and his chewing speed quickened.
Second Brother Jiang narrowed his eyes and the corners of his mouth curled up. The most important thing in life was to be happy. There was no need to think about all that nonsense. It was fine as long as he liked it. Eating wild beast meat was also a kind of enjoyment. Experts could rely on them to absorb energy, but low-level wild beasts absorbed less energy and formed too much garbage. In Second Brother Jiang's opinion, it was enough that he had enjoyed the delicious food. As for whether he would have to meditate to expel the garbage out of his body in the end, the two of them did not say anything else but quickly ate the delicious food.
