"Don't do this to me! Jiang Tong doesn't go out in the morning or at night, but when someone like me, Jing, comes, he goes out?" A gong-like voice shouted loudly.
Before Jiang Chen and others could get closer, they heard this man's shouting.
"Chief Jing, it is true that he has gone out. It is said that the young marquis is coming back, and the third master has gone to greet the young marquis outside Bojiang City."
It can be seen that the servants of the Hou Mansion are very polite in dealing with others.
"Little Marquis? Humph! Is he that ridiculous playboy Jiang Chen?" That voice sounded like a broken gong, with a hint of disdain.
"I don't care where Jiang Tong goes, I will wait here!" The man named Jing said in a very domineering tone.
From a distance, Jiang Chen frowned slightly. He is now practicing the "Ear of the Wind", and his hearing is better than Jiang Tong's, so he can naturally hear the conversation in the distance clearly.
"Chief Jing? Could it be Jingman from the Bauhinia tribe?" Jiang Chen knew from his predecessor's memory that there were ten tribes under Jiang Han's jurisdiction.
This Bauhinia Division is the most powerful one among them, and it is one of the best among the ten major divisions led by Jiang Han.
Therefore, this Jingman has always been quite domineering. In the entire Jiang Han territory, except for Jiang Hanhou Jiang Feng who can suppress this person, everyone else has to give this Jingman a three-pointer.
Now hearing his arrogant tone and calling Jiang Tong by his first name shows that this person is indeed extremely domineering.
Jiang Tong smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly: "Chen'er, only your father can suppress this Jing Man. You can go directly to the Marquis Mansion later and I will deal with him."
It was obvious that Jiang Tong was quite wary of this Jing Man.
In every territory, there will always be a few thorns in the side, and Jiang Chen understands this.
Jiang Chen didn't mind his vulgar and overbearing words. But if this barbarian's overbearing behavior went beyond a certain level, Jiang Chen would never sit idly by and ignore it.
No one wants to have someone under their control who is disobedient and can cause trouble at any time.
"Go over there!"
Jiang Chen spoke calmly and rode over first.
"Hey! It's the Third Master and the others who are back." When the servants of the Hou Mansion saw the horse team appearing, they saw Jiang Tong and his son at a glance.
However, Jiang Tong and his son, one on the left and the other on the right, were surrounded by another young man in the middle. This young man had a slender figure and a slight movement of starry eyes, but there was a familiar yet unfamiliar sense of majesty.
Jiang Tong shouted: "Why don't you pay your respects to the young Marquis?"
Little Marquis?
After three years, Jiang Chen's body has changed completely. Except for his appearance, which is still the same as before, other aspects, whether it is temperament or figure, are completely different from when he left Jiang Han's leadership three years ago.
"Greetings to the young Marquis!"
These servants in the Jiang Hanhou Mansion had undergone rigorous training and immediately knelt down and saluted.
On the other hand, Jing Man and his party looked at their leader Jing Man one by one and did not kneel down to worship him.
Jing Man put his hands on his hips and looked sideways, his behavior was quite rude. He glanced at Jiang Chen and looked him up and down.
"Young Lord Marquis? I'm sorry, I, Jingman, only bow to Jiang Hanhou himself. I didn't see Jiang Hanhou himself, so please forgive me, Mr. Jing, for not bowing down."
Jing Man's subordinates also stood behind Jing Man with half-smiling faces, sizing up Jiang Chen. Not only did they not see the respect that the young marquis should have shown in their expressions, but some of them even winked at him.
"Jingman, right?" Although Jiang Chen was a little angry, he didn't want to show off his face on the spot, "Whether you bow to me or not, I am Jiang Han's little marquis. I only ask you, are you leading the people today?
There is a commotion at the gate of the Hou Mansion, but what is it for? How is it appropriate?"
Jing Man laughed: "For what? Then you have to ask Jiang Tong!"
Jiang Tong looked a little embarrassed: "Jing Man, let's talk about personal matters in private. The young Marquis just came back today, so don't disturb him."
"Why bother? It would be better if he comes back, just to be a witness." Jing Man grinned.
"No matter what it is, let's go in and talk. You are making a lot of noise here, why don't you want the face of the nobles?" Jiang Chen's face darkened, and he took the lead in entering the Hou Mansion.
Seeing Jiang Chen's extraordinary demeanor, Jiang Tong was slightly surprised and followed him in.
Jing Man chuckled, but followed him in unscrupulously.
After entering the Marquis Mansion, served tea, and everyone sat down, Jiang Chen turned his eyes to Jiang Tong: "Third uncle, tell me what's going on."
"Hey, Chief Jing, you and I have been friends for decades, and you accepted the bride price ten years ago. Do you have to do this to break the engagement? Besides, the two children..."
Jing Man waved his hand: "Stop it! If you don't say that the child is okay, but if you say that the child is okay, then I will open the sky and speak frankly. It's not that Jing and I are untrustworthy, it's the child who doesn't want to. You don't want your son either.
If you marry my daughter in the future, the couple will be at odds with each other and cause a lot of trouble, right?"
Betrothal gift, marriage contract, children are unwilling.
Jiang Chen quickly captured the core of the matter.
Damn it, this Jingman is here to break the engagement.
"Chief Jing, tell me, are you dissatisfied with the betrothal gift, too little, or something else? These are all negotiable. In terms of status, is there anything in the Jiang family that I can't do to my daughter?"
Jiang Tong secretly controlled his anger, his tone was not very harsh, and he tried to save something.
"I, Mr. Jing, have heard these words many times. This time, I'm not here to listen to your nonsense. I've already brought back the bride price, so please accept it."
Jing Man obviously didn't want to continue to quarrel with Jiang Tong. He just came to refund the bride price and break off the engagement.
With a wave of his hand, his men immediately brought up six large boxes.
"The gifts are all here, and there are quite a lot of them. Jiang Tong, please check them. If there's nothing else, I'll go back to the tribe first." Jing Man ignored Jiang Chen, the young prince, from the beginning to the end.
Jiang Tong's face turned slightly red. Jing Man's arrogant attitude had obviously deeply hurt this middle-aged man with a gentle personality.
The palms gathered in the sleeves were slightly clenched and pulled into fists. His voice was hoarse and trembling: "Chief Jing, you can cancel the marriage, but you can't cancel it so unclearly! Tell me, why is this? I, Jiang
Family, what can’t I do to you, Bauhinia Department?”
Jing Man smiled faintly: "Whether the Jiang family is worthy of our Bauhinia tribe is not the point. First of all, you Jiang Tong is not Jiang Hanhou, and your son will never become Jiang Hanhou in the future. Secondly, I have already said it
, it’s because the child doesn’t want to. Cai’er, if they don’t want to break off the engagement, it’s up to you to say it yourself.”
Behind Jing Man, a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old was wearing a tribal costume and had her hair tied into a bun with three Qingluan tail hairs stuck in it.
This girl has beautiful features, and despite her young age, she has a naturally feminine look and a sense of shrewdness that belies her age.
"Jiang Yu, the older generation got drunk and made a ridiculous marriage arrangement. Cai'er believes you won't take it too seriously, right?"
Jing Cai'er's eyebrows moved slightly, and there was a soft and charming tone in her crisp words.
Jiang Yu was one year younger than Jiang Chen, but he was not confused about important matters. Although he was a little shy, he said: "I can not take it seriously. But if you do this, you may not be too disrespectful to the Jiang family's face."
Are you done? Have you ever thought about how your Jiang family will lose face by doing this?"
"Face?" Jing Cai'er smiled softly, "Face is earned by oneself, not given by others. Jiang Yu, since you want to say that, I just want to ask you one thing, my current cultivation is Seven Meridians True Qi, within one year
There is a chance to break through the eight channels of true energy. How many channels of true energy do you have now?"
This is the key point! Seven Meridians True Qi is indeed a very remarkable existence for a descendant of a tribe.
After all, there are not many princes' disciples with this level of cultivation in the Qianlong Competition.
Moreover, Ying Cai'er is still a year or two younger than Jiang Chen and others.
"You only have five meridians of true energy. Do you know what the difference between the two meridians of true energy means among people of the same age?"
"Besides, as my father said, your father is not Jiang Hanhou, and you will not be Jiang Hanhou in the future."
Jiang Yu was speechless and said nonchalantly: "Even if I am not Jiang Hanhou in the future, Jiang Hanhou will be my brother."
As soon as he said this, Jiang Yu regretted it. Why? Why should he explain this to this snobbish woman?
"Haha, your brother?" Jing Cai'er glanced at Jiang Chen with a hint of teasing, "Jiang Yu, don't be naive! Do you think that with your cousin's usual skills, he can stand up to a tiger and a wolf?
Can you keep this prince's order in front of your opponent?"
Jiang Chen smiled, this Jing family really showed their true feelings and told the truest side.
In terms of talent gap, Jiang Yu is much worse than Jing Cai'er.
Due to his status, the Jiang family is likely to lose the title of prince. As a non-direct descendant of the Jiang family, what future can Jiang Yu have?
In this way, the Jing family's reason for breaking off the engagement became clear.
boom!
A teacup was slammed to the ground!
Someone in the Jiang family finally couldn't help it and had an attack!
However, the person who had this attack was not Jiang Chen, nor Jiang Tong and his son. It was Jiang Zheng, the servant and steward behind Jiang Chen!
After seeing so much of the world in the royal capital, even the giants and powerful forces in the royal capital had to bow down to the young marquis and be submissive. But when Jiang Han returned to this place and took one-third of an acre of land, he had gone crazy?
Originally, this was the territory of the Jiang family, and the Jiang family was right. Anyone in front of the Jiang family must be respectful.
This Jing family is so presumptuous!
Therefore, Jiang Zheng was angry!
"Jing Man, you and your daughter are singing in harmony, have you figured it out? This is Jiang Hanhou's mansion, and this is Jiang Hanhou's territory!" Jiang Zhengyi was filled with anger.
Jing Man smiled coldly: "Master didn't say anything. You, a dog-like servant, what are you talking about?"
"I am a servant, that's right! However, you, Mr. Jing, seem to have forgotten that in Jiang Hanhou Mansion, you are also a servant. In the entire Jiang Han Territory, we are all servants of the Jiang family!"
"When you see that the young Marquis refuses to bow, do you still talk about the difference between master and slave?"
"You broke the engagement, do you still want the dignity of a noble?"
"Your daughter doesn't respect the young Marquis, and she doesn't care about superiority or inferiority?"
"You disrespected your master, broke your engagement, and spoke disrespectfully. Who gave you the courage? Where did you get the confidence?"
Jiang Zheng was arrogant and demanding, and he was out of control.
For a moment, Jing Man was stunned and speechless.
