"Hahaha..." Jiang Fan smiled: "Very good, but there is no need for a groom. I can't bear to waste your talent. If you run the Nangong family well, you will be put to good use in the future."
Nangong Xin cupped his fists and said, "Nangong obeys the order."
While talking, the food and wine were already served. The three of them chatted while eating.
For Ying Wuming, since he was from Jiang Fan, he didn't care and focused on eating meat. Naturally, eight of the ten pounds of mutton were given to him.
"Cousin Ling is not bad." Jiang Fan said after taking a sip of wine.
Nangong Xin said: "When it comes to the way of merchants, she studied under the master and is indeed above me."
"More than that, she is extremely talented in arithmetic, so I accepted her as my disciple."
Nangong Xin said gratefully: "I never thought that the young master would treat her so kindly. It is a blessing that she has cultivated for three lifetimes. But..."
Jiang Fan was stunned: "But what?"
Nangong Xin said awkwardly: "My cousin is weak and may not be able to bear a baby for the young master..."
"Get the hell out of here!" Jiang Fan kicked him to the ground and almost fainted.
Nangong Xin scratched his head inexplicably and got up: "Sir, what did I say wrong?"
Jiang Fan glared at him fiercely: "Why do you think I want to take a concubine? I really appreciate your cousin's talent. With her, I can hope to develop my arithmetic skills."
"Ah?" Nangong Xin looked embarrassed: "So that's what happened..."
Jiang Fan said angrily: "What are you thinking about? Am I that kind of person?"
"No, no." Nangong Xin shook his head quickly, but his eyes were strange.
Jiang Fan couldn't help but want to kick him again. He couldn't tell what this guy was thinking. He was thinking of Wei Xiaohong, Jin Feng Yulu, Meng Chanjun and so on.
"I'm warning you, if you think too wildly, I'll slap you!"
Nangong Xin quickly calmed down his expression: "Yes, yes..."
Jiang Fan took a deep breath, "But speaking of which, your cousin and my eldest apprentice are a bit cliched..."
"...What...feeling?" Nangong Xin was stunned for a moment.
"It's interesting. There's been something wrong between them recently."
Nangong Xin's eyes flashed with wonder: "What? Meng Laoshuai's grandson has fallen in love with my cousin?"
Jiang Fan thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure yet, but I think it's about the same."
Nangong Xin rubbed his hands in excitement: "God, this is great news. If my cousin can marry into the Meng family, it will be her blessing."
Jiang Fan said: "Mengyi is lucky enough to marry my apprentice."
Nangong Xin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, he patted his head: "Yes, yes, yes. I am confused. Who is the young master? He is named Xiaoyao King of Da Qin, has the title of Double King, and is the first person under the empress. Indeed, It's the blessing of the Meng family. But, what does my cousin mean?"
Jiang Fan pinched his chin: "According to my observation, she may not realize it herself, but she also has a very fond impression of Meng Yi..."
Nangong Xin chuckled and said: "That's good, that's good... But, my cousin seems to be older than Meng Yi..."
Jiang Fan waved his hand: "You know what the hell, the female junior is holding a gold brick, and that bastard Meng Yi is just a big kid, you can't find a younger one."
Nangong Xin nodded: "Master, if you think it's okay, I'll definitely do it. I'm just waiting for the wedding banquet."
"Okay, don't think about other people's affairs. I heard that the Sima family plans to marry you?"
Nangong Xin recovered his thoughts and nodded: "The Sima royal family is just interested in the wealth of the Nangong family."
Jiang Fan looked at him: "What are your plans?"
Nangong Xin said: "Listen to the master's arrangements."
Jiang Fan thought for a while and smiled slightly: "I heard...that Sima Weiwei is a top beauty?"
Nangong Xin nodded: "That's true. Some people say that she is among the top three beauties of the Eastern Jin Dynasty."
Jiang Fan looked at him with interest: "What do you think?"
Nangong Xin thought for a while and said: "The Nangong family relies on the second prince. If there is a chance to become the consort, it can also reduce the second prince's control, and even make the eager eldest prince restrain himself..."
"Oh? Are you willing?"
Nangong Xin chuckled and said: "Marriage is just a means. I have a sense of discretion. Besides..." He laughed sarcastically: "That Princess Sima is really beautiful..."
Jiang Fan curled his lips disdainfully: "You can't escape the law of true fragrance. But this is good..." He narrowed his eyes and smiled strangely: "It will save you from thinking about Meng Chanjuan all day long..."
Nangong Xin quickly shook his head: "Sir, don't make fun of me. I must have been so stupid back then."
“It’s not stupid if you know you’re stupid.”
Nangong Xin scratched his head and said indifferently: "Sex has confused my heart, and it only makes me more itchy when I don't get what I want."
Jiang Fan looked at him and curled his lips: "Okay, I'll give you a chance to scratch my itch this time."
Nangong Xin was stunned and looked at Jiang Fan without knowing why.
"Go and meet Mengchanjuan..."
Nangong Xin was stunned, and after a long while he said uncertainly: "Sir, what did you say?"
"You are deaf." Jiang Fan rolled his eyes at him: "Go and see Meng Chanjuan."
Nangong Xin said blankly: "How could she see me...huh?" Suddenly his expression changed: "Master, do you have something to give me?"
Jiang Fan snorted from his nostrils: "You idiot! Do you want to pick up girls?"
Nangong Xin laughed dryly: "Young Master's orders."
Jiang Fan took out an envelope and handed it to him: "This is the first thing. Burn it after reading it."
Nangong Xin nodded, knowing that the first thing Jiang Fan said was the second one, so he listened attentively.
"The second thing." Jiang Fan took out another envelope: "Go meet your cousin. Everything you need to do is written in it."
Nangong Xin put it away solemnly.
Jiang Fan thought for a while and finally took out another envelope: "Let's just put it all together. This time, you are going to meet Cao Zijian."
Nangong's confidence kept jumping wildly. He was not stupid. He was very clear about the recent major events. The people Jiang Fan told him, except for Meng Chanjuan, were all closely related to it. It seemed that he was finally entering the game.
He was both excited and nervous.
Jiang Fan finished his explanation and said: "Continue to maintain the relationship with Xia Guo. Don't show your flaws. You don't need to ask for instructions when necessary. Just do it according to your own judgment."
Nangong Xin nodded in agreement: "Because of the Jin-Xia Alliance, the Nangong family had to provide a lot of money to the Xia Kingdom. I hope that the young master will not blame him."
Jiang Fan waved his hand: "You have already asked for permission. I have no objection. After all, the Nangong family is in the Jin Kingdom. There are some things that should be done, otherwise they will be ruined."
Nangong Xin said: "But because of this, the Crown Prince of Xia treats me like a distinguished guest, and my subordinates also got a lot of secret information."
Jiang Fan smiled and said: "This is the reward, but remember, don't do things too obviously. You are more useful lurking than coming out of the water. Therefore, when necessary, you can be more decisive, do you understand?"
Nangong Xin perked up: "With your words, I dare to do it."
Jiang Fan smiled and said, "Very good. No one can make mistakes in life. Sometimes it doesn't matter if you make mistakes in judgment, but just don't make mistakes in your heart."
Nangong Xin was stunned. He understood Jiang Fan's words and immediately nodded heavily: "Don't worry, Lord!"
At this time, Nangong Xin also took out a letter sealed with fire paint from his arms: "All the things I know are recorded here, including some information about the Jin-Xia Alliance, but there are some circled in red pen, subordinate The authenticity cannot be confirmed.”
