Chapter 122 - 122 It’s Better to Be Dead
“What are you afraid of? Just say that I gave it to you when you get back. Zi’er, Qiao’er, you will go back with Brother Jiang Si later and serve him well. When Brother Jiang Si becomes famous in the future, you will have a good life. Xia Qiming said, following Jiang Si’s lead. A prefecture governor was nothing.
Jiang Si was overjoyed, and his blue-robed figure grew taller and straighter. The Jing City would finally be the world he could roam! On the first day Jiang Si came to Jing City, he had a strong desire to conquer it.
“Young Master Jiang, Zi’er and Qiao’er will be your people from now on.” Zi’er had served so many people in Jade Spring Brothel. Of course, she could feel that Jiang Si was very satisfied with her.
“Miss Zi’er doesn’t have any special hobbies, right?” Jiang SI’s expression suddenly tightened as he asked.
Zi ‘er was startled. Could it be that young master Jiang had some shameful hobbies in bed?
“I didn’t.” Zi ‘er really wanted to tell Jiang SI that as long as it wasn’t too excessive in bed, she could satisfy him. However, there were so many people present, so she could not say it too explicitly. She only hoped that young master Jiang could understand her meaning.
After Zi ‘er said this, Jiang Si’s body suddenly relaxed. His entire body relaxed visibly. Fortunately, it was enough to have a weirdo like Song Yun among the women.
Jiang Si was doing very well in Jing City and had no idea that his lovely wife, Song Yun, was rushing toward him. Jiang Si had gained some reputation in Jing City thanks to Xia Qiming. He had even become a guest of honor in Lord Xiao’s residence, and he was so happy that he forgot about home.
“With Brother Jiang Si’s talent, if he has not married, I’m afraid he can still fight for a good marriage. Lord Xiao values Brother Jiang Si now, and he has several daughters in his residence.” The man at the same table looked at Jiang Si with envy.
Jiang Si’s smile disappeared. If he had not married Song Yun, he would not have had the ability to come to Jing City. Back then, he was able to get into the imperial examination because of the Song family. otherwise, he would not have been able to get to where he was today. However, Jiang Si did not want to acknowledge the help that the Song family had given him. He even started to regret it. If only he could have held on and not married Song Yun back then. He would definitely have a better future now!
“I naturally wouldn’t dare to have any thoughts about Lord Xiao’s daughter. I’m afraid that this is all my fate.” Jiang Si’s face was filled with helplessness, but his eyes were burning with fire. He was far away from Song Yun. It would be best if she died of illness, but she should not be a burden to his future! At the thought of this, the anger in Jing Si’s heart dissipated.
“Alright, alright, let’s not talk about those boring things. I have a brother in the army who will be returning to Jing City soon. When the time comes, I’ll introduce you to him. If you can get his appreciation, your path will probably be a little smoother. After all, it’s impossible for young master Xia Qiming to keep us scholars in his heart every day,” a scholar said. He was actually a little repulsed by Xia Qiming. Although he could not tell what was wrong with Xia Qiming, he knew that people always had an instinctive intuition for danger.
By the way, that brother of mine has recently met a younger brother called seventh brother. I heard that he’s doing very well in his area. When the time comes, we’ll say a few good words to him and we’ll definitely make friends,” the scholar continued to speak. The children of the humble families had already made good connections before they came to Jing City.
Jiang Si’s smile widened. He could guess what Xia Qiming was thinking. These Young Masters from the aristocratic families were just toying with them. However, even if he knew, he could only smile and bear with it. Until now, he had not dared to think that Jiang Xi would marry General Zhao Ruifeng. Moreover, he knew how much Jiang Xi looked down on him if the fact that he was Jiang Xi’s fourth brother was revealed. However, it was difficult for him to move forward in Jing City now. His mind was finally active. As long as Jiang Xi entered Jing City, he was confident that he could persuade Jiang Xi to use Zhao Ruifeng to pave the way for him.
Finally, Jiang Xi’s group arrived in Jing City seven days later. Ever since the carriage entered Jing City, Zhao Yingying had spoken a lot less. She was so quiet that it was a little strange. Compared to usual, she was less energetic and a little nervous. Her hands kept tugging at the corners of her clothes.
