son, don't mess around

Chapter 224 Come and see your cousin
Cuixianju.

A restaurant with a name that looks elegant, but actually sounds very vulgar.There are not even a thousand but eight hundred companies with this kind of name in the world, and they are inconspicuous at all.

But if it is placed in the capital, where every inch of land is precious, it will look elegant.

The end of vulgarity is elegance!

This is a small restaurant, located in a quiet alley in the bustling part of the capital.Separated by a wall, there is a bustling place where people come and go, but the restaurant is sparsely populated.

When Lin Jiangnian stepped into Cuixianju, the shopkeeper in the restaurant approached him with an attentive face: "Master Jiang, why are you here today?"

The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man in his forties, gentle and elegant, with a kind smile on his face, and he looks extremely friendly.

The Jiang Shaoan he mentioned was naturally the Jiang Shaoan who was forced to follow Lin Jiangnian into the restaurant. Obviously, he had been a regular customer here for a long time.

Jiang Shaoan waved his hands, but looked at Lin Jiangnian. He still didn't know why Lin Jiangnian brought him here.

The shopkeeper's eyes also happened to fall on Lin Jiangnian, sizing up the strange-looking and handsome young man in front of him.

He had never seen the young man in front of him before. Which family was he from?

When the two came in just now, this young man walked in front of Master Jiang. Combined with the way Jiang Shaoan looked at him, it seemed that his status was much higher than that of Master Jiang?

Looking at the other party, he looks handsome, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. He is extremely handsome. There are few rich young men like him in the capital.Dressed in brocade robes, there was an indescribable aura about him, which made the shopkeeper pay attention to him.

The people who can come here are either rich or noble, and they are not something he can offend at will.

"Who is this boy?"

The shopkeeper looked at Lin Jiangnian and his tone was slightly more respectful.

Lin Jiangnian did not reveal his identity, but glanced around the restaurant, "I heard that Cuixianju has fine wines that are famous in the capital, so I came here to taste them."

The shopkeeper was startled. The wine of his Cuixianju was indeed famous, but most of the people who came to his Cuixianju did not come for the wine.

This young man...

Although the shopkeeper was confused, he didn't ask any more questions and nodded with a smile on his face: "I see, you two gentlemen, please come upstairs!"

The shopkeeper smiled and welcomed the two of them to the second floor of the restaurant, and found a seat by the window to sit down.When the shopkeeper turned around and ordered the food and wine to be prepared, Jiang Shaoan finally couldn't help but speak.

"What are you doing here?"

"Didn't I tell you?"

Lin Jiangnian looked around the restaurant casually. During the day, the restaurant was deserted and there were not many people.Lin Jiangnian and Jiang Shaoan were almost the only ones on the entire second floor.

"Why is there no one today?"

Lin Jiangnian turned to look at Jiang Shao'an, only to see Jiang Shao'an curl his lips: "Nonsense, did you come here during the day?"

"Oh?" Lin Jiangnian was surprised: "No one came during the day?"

"That's not!"

It seemed that he had finally found an opportunity to show off his knowledge and culture. Jiang Shaoan was extremely excited and glanced at Lin Jiangnian proudly. His expression was full of contempt for a country bumpkin like Lin Jiangnian: "This Cuixianju is not a restaurant on the street outside. , those who can come here are not ordinary people. If I hadn’t been here, you would have been blocked from the door just now!"

Lin Jiangnian remembered that there were indeed two masters with reserved auras standing at the door just now. They must be the guards of Cuixianju.

"What does this have to do with no one being around during the day?"

"Nonsense, have you ever seen anyone in the capital whose children would come here at noon?"

Jiang Shao'an rolled his eyes. Most of them, the playboys in the capital, had nothing to do on weekdays and played songs every night. What's more, they stayed home all night and hung out in the middle of the night. When they woke up, it was three hours a day, and their work and rest were reversed.

At this time, those people are either not awake yet, or they are still hanging out with some girl under the covers.

After hearing Jiang Shaoan show off like this, Lin Jiangnian understood.

He still underestimated the level of dandies in the capital. These people were born at the feet of the emperor and in the imperial city. They had no worries about food and clothing since childhood, and they had lost the purpose of striving.

This kind of life of messing around has become their daily life, or perhaps this kind of life is too idle, making looking for things to do becomes the joy of their lives.

"So, you hang out like this on weekdays?"

Lin Jiangnian looked at Jiang Shaoan, and saw a trace of uneasiness flashing across Jiang Shaoan's face, and then he raised his head proudly: "Yes, this is my young master's life!"

"You also have fun every night and hang out with other women?"

Jiang Shaoan's face turned slightly red, but he still snorted coldly: "As long as I want to, I just wave my hand, and a lot of women will come to my door."

Lin Jiangnian looked at Jiang Shaoan with a playful look: "Really?"

Jiang Shaoan blushed, but still frowned: "That's right!"

"Does your father know?"

"..."

"Your father knew you were hanging out like this, so he didn't break your legs?"

Jiang Shao'an suddenly panicked and gritted his teeth: "What does it have to do with you... Don't be proud, our accounts haven't been settled yet!"

The scene of being taught a lesson yesterday was still vivid in his mind, and the humiliation of being threatened today came to mind again. He glared at Lin Jiangnian fiercely, and when he was about to say something cruel, Lin Jiangnian glanced at him, and Jiang Shaoan paused. He shrank his head again in fear.

"You, what are you trying to do?!"

Jiang Shaoan couldn't help but ask. He didn't know why this guy forced him to come here today.

"I originally wanted to see the daily life of you young men in the capital, so that I can gain insights."

Lin Jiangnian's tone was a little regretful.

Hearing this, Jiang Shaoan felt a little proud and hummed: "Our life is beyond your imagination."

Lin Jiangnian glanced at him: "So, you are doing well in the capital?"

"That's not!"

Jiang Shaoan raised his proud head again and said triumphantly: "To tell you the truth, I am... a little famous in Beijing. Who in the circle doesn't know my name?"

Listening to Jiang Shaoan's bragging, Lin Jiangnian did not criticize him, but continued following his words: "Is he so powerful?"

"So, you should know a lot of big shots, right?"

"of course!"

Lin Jiangnian looked a little surprised: "Tell me about it?"

Jiang Shao'an enjoyed Lin Jiangnian's ignorant country bumpkin look, and he became even more proud at the moment: "I'll scare you if I tell you, I have many friends in Beijing, and I'm famous all over the capital!"

"Not to mention that all the disciples in the capital are good friends with me. Even the eighth prince in the palace is a close friend of me!"

"The eighth prince?"

Lin Jiangnian's face clearly showed disbelief: "You alone can be sworn friends with the Eighth Prince?"

Seeing Lin Jiangnian's doubtful face, Jiang Shaoan couldn't sit still: "That's natural. The Eighth Prince is close to me and we often drink together. The Eighth Prince admires me very much and regards me as a confidant!"

Listening to Jiang Shaoan's shameless bragging, Lin Jiangnian remembered that when he was at the teahouse two days ago, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Jiang Shaoan's respectful appearance in front of the eighth prince, and couldn't help but feel a little funny.

However, Lin Jiangnian still did not expose it: "I see, I didn't expect that Young Master Jiang has such connections in Beijing. I'm looking down on you!"

Jiang Shaoan could hardly hide the pride on his face.

"Since you are familiar with the eighth prince, you probably know a lot of things, right?" Lin Jiangnian suddenly asked with a change of tone.

A trace of guilt flashed across Jiang Shaoan's face, but he still said firmly: "That's natural. I have a very good relationship with the Eighth Prince. He knows everything about me."

"That's it!"

Lin Jiangnian nodded and suddenly narrowed his eyes: "I heard that the eighth prince has a good relationship with the third prince in the capital?"

Jiang Shaoan was stunned, wondering why Lin Jiangnian asked this, but he still snorted: "That's natural. The third prince is the elder brother of the eighth prince, so the relationship between the two is naturally close."

"How close?"

"Like brothers!"

"..."

I have to say that Jiang Shaoan is still too young after all.Although he is called a playboy, he is still too young after all. He has lived in the capital since he was a child. He has been well-dressed and well-fed since he was a child. He has never experienced severe beatings from society and has never seen the dangers of the world.

Even in Lin Jiangnian's opinion, this young master Jiang was even a little stupid.

Silly and cute!

Lin Jiangnian only needed to show a little bit of envy and a little flattery to make Young Master Jiang get carried away. With some random guidance, Young Master Jiang showed off his underwear in one fell swoop.

In one afternoon, he didn't gain much in the restaurant, but Lin Jiangnian got a lot of useful information from this young master Jiang.

It is unlikely that Jiang Shaoan and the Eighth Prince are close friends. He was probably bragging about it, but it can be seen that Jiang Shaoan is indeed in the same group with the Eighth Prince.

Not surprisingly, Jiang Shaoan is most likely the eighth prince's lackey.

Before entering the capital, Lin Jiangnian had already investigated many forces in the capital, including the princes in the capital.There are not many princes still in the capital. This eighth prince is probably the most famous prince in the capital after the third prince.

The difference is that the eighth prince is not yet an adult, so he has not yet been assigned to a fiefdom. However, this eighth prince is also a well-known dandy in the capital.

However, since Prince Lin's Mansion does not have much influence in Beijing, many intelligence information is not particularly clear.Some things still need to be confirmed by Lin Jiangnian himself.

From Jiang Shaoan's mouth, he learned that the eighth prince was close to the third prince. Jiang Shaoan was perhaps too complacent and even revealed that the eighth prince had said that Prince Lin would not live to come to the capital some time ago.

Obviously, the eighth prince knew something inside.Combined with the previous news, some truths are already coming out.

"From your tone, it sounds like you don't like your cousin very much?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at Jiang Shaoan, who had a look of disdain on his face when he mentioned Prince Lin just now.That day at the teahouse, Jiang Shaoan kicked over the storyteller's stall, which also confirmed this.

"Nonsense, why do I like him when I have nothing to do?"

Jiang Shaoan pouted.

"Do you have any conflicts with him?" Lin Jiangnian asked.

"No."

"Then why don't you like him?"

Jiang Shaoan was stunned and couldn't say anything for a moment.

Why do you hate the cousin you have never met?

He didn't know either.

If everyone doesn’t like it anyway, then he will naturally dislike it too!

"That Prince Lin Wang is an uneducated waste and is not worthy of being my cousin!"

Jiang Shaoan quickly found a suitable excuse for himself: "I heard that Prince Lin is not only a waste, but also extremely worthless. It would be embarrassing to talk about such a guy... I don't have a cousin who is such a waste!"

Lin Jiangnian said nothing. Young Master Jiang seemed to be extremely unclear about his position!
He himself is an out-and-out trash, how can he have the nerve to criticize others?

At this point, Jiang Shaoan snorted again: "Thanks to his good luck, he died outside the city. If he dares to come into the city and suffers from his consequences, I will definitely teach him a lesson?"

"Teach him a lesson?"

Lin Jiangnian gave him a strange look: "He's your cousin!"

"This young master does not have such a cousin!"

Jiang Shaoan sneered: "If he reaches the capital alive, I will beat him so hard that he will cry for father and mother, kneel down and beg for mercy..."

Jiang Shaoan's face was full of pride, imagining beautiful scenes.

He didn't realize that Lin Jiangnian had walked up to him at some point and looked at him expressionlessly: "You, what are you doing?"

When he came to his senses, Jiang Shaoan suddenly realized something was wrong and subconsciously wanted to run away, but Lin Jiangnian grabbed him by the shirt.

"You, what are you doing?!"

Jiang Shaoan looked panicked: "You, you said you wouldn't hit me today... Oops..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Shaoan was kicked hard in the butt.His buttocks, which had not yet completely swollen, suddenly started to twitch in pain.

Cry dad and call mom!

……

Jiang Mansion!

"mother!"

A pitiful wailing sound came from inside the mansion.

As soon as Mother Jiang walked into the lobby, she saw a crying figure running in.

"Shaan?"

Mother Jiang took a closer look and saw that the crying person in front of her was not her youngest son.

This, what happened?
"Shao An, what's wrong with you?"

"Mom, mother, you must avenge me!"

Jiang Shaoan cried loudly, threw himself into his mother's arms, and said miserably: "I, I was bullied, yes, someone hit me..."

Hearing this, Mother Jiang was also stunned. Was she beaten?

How dare someone hit her son?
Mother Jiang's eyes immediately became angry and she raised her eyes: "What's going on?"

The two guards following him also looked confused. They didn't know where the young master had gone today.
I saw the young master running back crying and his posture was a little strange.If they didn't know the young master's orientation, they would even doubt whether the young master was...

At this time, looking at the miserable little son crying in her arms, Jiang's mother felt distressed: "Shao'an, don't cry, don't worry, mother will definitely seek justice for you!"

Although her Jiang family is not a well-known family in Beijing, they will never let their children be bullied.

"Tell mother, who hit you?"

"Yes Yes……"

Jiang Shaoan raised his face with tearful eyes, and his head was stuck for a moment.

He suddenly realized that he didn't know Lin Jiangnian's name yet!

He doesn’t even know the origin of the person who hit him!
"He, he is in our house..."

"The house?"

Mother Jiang's face suddenly darkened: "What's going on?"

There is actually someone in the house attacking Shao An?

"Yep……"

Jiang Shaoan nodded and was about to say something when he suddenly glanced behind Mother Jiang from the corner of his eye. The next second, his eyes and pupils immediately dilated: "You, you..."

What did he see? !

Lin Jiangnian, dressed in a brocade robe, was standing behind Jiang's mother, looking at him with a smile.

"You, you still dare to come?!"

Jiang Shaoan was shocked and extremely angry.

He, he actually dares to come back? !

Deceiving too much!

But the next second, he became extremely proud!

I was still thinking about where to arrest someone, but I didn’t expect you to come to my door yourself?
After beating him, do you still dare to return to Jiang Mansion?
good good!
Now, where are you going? !
With his mother's support, Jiang Shaoan felt completely safe now. He pointed at Lin Jiangnian and said excitedly: "Mom, just..."

Before he could say the word, Jiang's mother suddenly pulled Lin Jiangnian over: "By the way, Shao'an, come and see your cousin!"

"This is your cousin in Linzhou, Lin Jiangnian!"

"..."
