Outside the pavilion in front, at the corner of the courtyard, a familiar figure appeared.
A young man, about sixteen or seventeen, dressed in brocade clothes, with a gold-rimmed belt and a jade belt around his waist, the jade clearly worth a fortune. Though young, his face was filled with a dandy and domineering air, and his gait was extremely unbridled.
You can tell at first glance that he is not someone to be trifled with!
Lin Jiangnian's gaze fell on the young man and he paused for a moment. Then, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
An acquaintance!
The young man in sight was none other than the dandy young man from aristocratic family who had been seen in the teahouse before and who had overturned the storyteller’s stall in public!
What’s your name…Jiang Shaoan?
I had previously learned from Xu Zhongshan that this young man's name was Jiang Shaoan, a member of the Jiang family in the capital.
The surname Jiang is considered a big surname, and there are quite a few wealthy Jiang families in Beijing. At that time, Lin Jiangnian did not take it seriously, but now that he saw Jiang Shaoan appear in the Jiang Mansion, Lin Jiangnian instantly understood this person's identity.
Before coming to the capital, Lin Jiangnian had some knowledge of his uncle, who lived far away in the capital. After Jiang Ningkang graduated from high school, he stayed in the capital with his new wife, and they had a son.
I think it should be Jiang Shaoan in front of me!
So, this guy is his cousin?
Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian's expression gradually became interesting.
When Lin Jiangnian was looking at the other person, Jiang Shaoan also happened to see Lin Jiangnian.
"What are you still standing there for? Didn't you hear me calling you?"
Jiang Shaoan, who was not far away, waved impatiently, his eyes fell on Lin Jiangnian, and he was a little confused, feeling that the person in front of him was a little strange.
"Who are you? A new servant?"
Lin Jiangnian had seen Jiang Shaoan before at the teahouse, but he hadn't noticed him. Seeing this unfamiliar face, he thought he was a new servant. Jiang Shaoan didn't think much of it and simply waved his hand, "Go, buy me two strings of candied haws from the west side of the city. Remember, go to the place in the west side of the city, and come back quickly. Go..."
Lin Jiangnian stood still, his arms folded across his chest as he looked at him with interest.
Seeing that Lin Jiangnian didn't move, Jiang Shaoan immediately looked up, a hint of anger appearing on his still childish face: "What are you still standing here for? Are you deaf? Why don't you go buy it?!"
Jiang Shaoan was bossy and condescending, his tone tinged with a hint of unbridled threat.
Lin Jiangnian still didn't move, his eyes were playful: "No."
Hearing this, Jiang Shaoan opened his eyes wide in disbelief, as if he didn't expect that the servants in his house would dare to disobey his wishes?
Is this servant looking for death?
He stared at Lin Jiangnian and immediately said angrily, "What are you talking about? Don't you want to stay in the Jiang family anymore?"
Soon, Jiang Shaoan thought of something else. Could it be that this guy is new here and doesn’t know him?
"Do you know who this young master is?"
Lin Jiangnian looked him up and down: "Who are you?"
"My name is Jiang Shaoan, the eldest young master of the Jiang family!"
Jiang Shaoan raised his head with a smug sneer on his face.
If he were a few years older, he might have looked somewhat presentable. But at this moment, Jiang Shaoan stood in front of Lin Jiangnian, a head shorter than him, and with his childish face, he looked extremely funny, with the air of a dandy kid.
The tone of his voice was more like a child showing off his things.
"Oh, you are Jiang Shaoan!"
Lin Jiangnian didn't even blink and remained calm.
Jiang Shaoan was disappointed. He didn't see the panic, shock, humility and fear of begging for mercy on Lin Jiangnian's face after he introduced his identity. He felt a surge of anger in his heart.
"Since you know who I am, how dare you speak to me like that? Do you believe I will kill you?"
Jiang Shaoan's face was filled with anger and ferocity, his teeth bared and claws waving.
Lin Jiangnian shook his head: "I don't believe it."
This indifferent expression completely angered Jiang Shaoan.
He had been living a life of luxury in the capital since he was a child. In the Jiang Mansion, apart from his father, no one could control him, which led to his unruly and lawless character. In the entire mansion, no one dared to disobey him, let alone speak to him in this way.
Lin Jiangnian's attitude made him very angry.
"Okay, okay, today I will definitely teach you a lesson!"
Jiang Shaoan said, rolling up his sleeves and sneering.
He had learned some Kung Fu since childhood and knew some tricks. On weekdays, he used these skills to teach his servants a lesson or to bully ordinary people outside.
Jiang Shaoan waved his fist and stared at Lin Jiangnian fiercely: "If you kneel down and beg for mercy now, I may consider sparing your life. Otherwise, don't blame me for beating you to death later!"
Lin Jiangnian looked indifferent as he looked at Jiang Shaoan, who was ferocious and threatening in front of him, and sighed secretly.
You are so young, but you don’t learn well.
It seems that Jiang Ningkang has failed in educating his children!
Jiang Shaoan's dandy behavior is not much better than that of the Prince of Lin.
At such a young age, he has raised a little devil.
Looking at Jiang Shaoan, who was staring at him with a fierce sneer on his face, Lin Jiangnian stretched out a finger and said, "I'll give you a chance too. If you kneel down and kowtow to me twice, and then change your ways and promise to be obedient in the future, I may consider not beating you!"
Jiang Shaoan opened his eyes wide in disbelief and became extremely angry in an instant!
He actually dared to make this young master kneel down and kowtow?!
And you want me to be obedient?!
What a rebellion!
The servant is going to kill his master!
"You're looking for death!"
Jiang Shaoan angrily swung his fist towards Lin Jiangnian's face.
It must be said that Jiang Shaoan did have some martial arts skills. He swung his fist with a whirring force, heading straight for Lin Jiangnian's face. If this punch had landed, at least his nose would have been broken.
Just as the fist was about to get close and the smug smile on Jiang Shaoan's face became more and more obvious, Lin Jiangnian suddenly dodged to the side and avoided Jiang Shaoan's punch.
Jiang Shaoan's fist missed instantly, and before he could retract his strength, he suddenly felt something tripping him, and he lost his balance and fell headfirst to the ground, landing flat on his face!
This fall stunned Jiang Shaoan!
My face made close contact with the ground, my head felt dizzy, and a burning pain came from my face, accompanied by a fishy smell.
Jiang Shaoan fell to the ground, feeling pain all over his body, his face burning, and something flowing down his nose, which he wiped subconsciously.
“Blood, blood!”
Jiang Shaoan cried out in horror.
"I'm bleeding, I'm bleeding?!"
Jiang Shaoan opened his eyes wide in horror, looking at the bright red blood on his hands with a panicked expression.
He, he was injured and bleeding?
pain!
It hurts so much!
Pain came from my face and nose, and a feeling of grief, anger and grievance suddenly surged up.
From childhood to adulthood, how could he have suffered such injustice?
His eyes immediately became moist, and just as he was about to shout at the top of his lungs, he suddenly heard Lin Jiangnian's playful voice coming from the side.
"Hey, is Young Master Jiang going to cry?"
Jiang Shaoan's emotions, which had just been brewing, were stuck in place.
