"Prince Jiang is here. If you are not welcome from afar, please come in and take a seat."
Even Uncle Ning Yuan had to bow his head to show respect for Jiang Yu's status.
A high-ranking official can crush people to death, let alone Duke Jiang, who is the king of the imperial court and holds military power.
He is a count in name only and is not enough to offend.
Jiang Yu didn't show any expression in the face of Uncle Ning Yuan's warm reception. His face was still expressionless. He didn't even take anything when he came to the door this time.
Even though he was more powerful than them, Xiangzhou was their territory after all. He should follow the etiquette and bring three taels of gifts when he came to visit for the first time, but he refused to give them this face.
Jiang Yu Da Ma Jin Dao sat there, holding his hands on the armrests of the chair, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the armrests.
It looked like he was not a guest, but rather as if someone had provoked him and he was here to have a good time.
Uncle Ning Yuan and his wife looked at each other and knew something was wrong. They turned to look at their son and saw that he had his head lowered and his body was shaking slightly. He didn't know whether he was angry or afraid.
"Prince Jiang is here today, but what's the important matter?" Ning Yuanbo began to test.
Jiang Yu continued to remain silent, but the air around him was already cold to dozens of degrees below zero. Just sitting there, the sound of knocking on wood was full of oppression.
As time passed, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Ning Yuanbo's forehead.
What does this ancestor mean? He didn't say anything when he came, he just sat there to scare people. Is he here to be a guest, looking for trouble, or is he here to show off his power?
The whole family was sitting in their own home. Although they were still sitting on the main seat, they were being treated like this by an outsider. No one dared to speak.
Mrs. Ning Yuanbo, who usually had a high self-esteem and was domineering, did not dare to speak and could only keep suspicion in her heart.
After a long time, the tea in hand was cold and no longer steaming. Ning Yuanbo was covered in cold sweat. Ning Zhiqian was the most pitiful, feeling that the blood all over his body was cold.
No wonder he couldn't find out any identity of Jiang Yu, because he was not from Xiangzhou, and he was extremely powerful, and he still thought he was right in front of him and looked down on him, but he didn't know that in the eyes of others, he was just a clown, worthless and embarrassing. He is the only one...
"It is said that Uncle Ningyuan's uncle has a girl he likes, and his wife has come to propose marriage in person?"
Jiang Yu finally spoke, but the calmer his tone became, the more frightened he became.
Moreover, this was the first thing he said, could it be possible...
"Oh, it's like this. Zhiqian has reached the age of marriage. He has the girl he likes. He is afraid of missing out, so he asked me to come to propose marriage in person."
Mrs. Bo didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the matter, and she explained it cheerfully.
"I didn't expect Prince Jiang to be so concerned about Quan Zi's life-long events. I wonder if Prince Jiang and Zhi Qian have known each other for a long time?"
Mrs. Bo was secretly happy that her son had become successful and actually knew Prince Jiang. How come he hadn't heard from him?
"Mother, please stop talking." Ning Zhiqian interrupted Mrs. Bo's possibility of continuing to speak.
Mrs. Bo looked at her son with evasive eyes blankly, expressing confusion.
Then, Jiang Yu sneered and said:
"My prince doesn't care who he marries in the future, but Miss Su Liu, you can't even think about it, and you can't move it."
Jiang Yu said as he fiddled with the ring on his hand, turning it left and right.
Uncle Ning Yuan and his wife seemed to understand something.
Mrs. Bo spoke in a trembling tone and forced a smile:
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by these words? Please make it clear."
Hearing this, Jiang Yu raised his lips and smiled, raised his eyes and glanced around the people at the scene, and said sarcastically:
"Literal meaning, don't you understand? I heard that the Earl of Ningyuan had always intended to marry the Earl of Shunyi in Suzhou, but why did it suddenly change its mind and ask to marry the sister of Su Jing, the number one scholar in the current subject? Huh?"
After Jiang Yu finished speaking, he squinted and looked at Ning Zhiqian with a smile. Unfortunately, Ning Zhiqian lowered his head and said nothing.
Then he had no choice but to continue:
"Oh~ I remembered, the generation from Ningyuan Earl's Mansion to the younger uncle should be the third generation hereditary, right?
I heard that my younger brother-in-law has never even been admitted as a scholar. I think Ning Yuanbo must be worried about the hereditary title, right?
Su Jing, the water commander of the Xuanhe capital, became famous all over the world for his poems on water control strategies. The Holy General entrusted him with such a great undertaking. When the construction is completed in the future, it will be the day when he will be granted the title of marquis and become the prime minister. If he can marry into the family of the rising star of the imperial court, Ning Yuanbo's position is now secure. "
"Prince Jiang, please be careful when saying that Quanzi and the sixth girl of the Su family are getting married because they are in love with each other."
Uncle Ning Yuan got excited and quickly denied it.
"We are in love with each other? Does your uncle think so too?"
Hearing this word, Jiang Yu couldn't even smile. His peach blossom eyes, which usually looked gentle and affectionate, were now full of danger.
It seems to be saying, if I am not satisfied with what you say, you will look better.
Ning Zhiqian's hands under his sleeves were clenched tightly, and his nails pierced the flesh of his palms, making them bloody and bloody, but he didn't feel any pain, only his heart hurt.
His dignity was being violently dragged to the ground and trampled on.
"Young uncle, please think about it carefully. After all, Duke Jiang's mansion is somewhat powerful in Kyoto."
Yesterday, they came to threaten Su's father and Su's mother. Today, Jiang Yu returned the same words to them.
For the first time, Jiang Yu felt that his status as Jiang Guogong's heir apparent had brought him great convenience. He suddenly felt that this status was not so useless.
In terms of power, Duke Jiang Guo is not afraid of anyone among the aristocratic families in Kyoto. It's just that Duke Jiang's government has always kept a low profile, but that doesn't mean that anyone dares to take their ideas and has no scruples about them.
To be honest, Jiang Guogong's military power was personally given by the late emperor, and no one dared to say anything casually.
Duke Jiang Guo has always maintained neutrality in the court, because they do not need to rely on any force and can still live in glory and live alone.
It can be said that if Duke Jiang Guo chooses which prince to support, then that prince's position as crown prince will be half won.
Therefore, Uncle Ning Yuan of Xiangzhou was like an ant and a beast when facing Duke Jiang's Mansion in Kyoto. It was just a matter of thinking or not wanting to make them unable to stand up forever.
Jiang Yu's threat was far more significant than their threat to the Su family.
Ning Yuanbo's body was shaken violently. He didn't understand at all when his son had offended this giant Buddha, and it was because of a woman.
Ning Zhiqian was fighting a battle of dignity in his heart at this moment. If he refused to bow his head, he would have offended Duke Jiang, and it would be useless to marry anyone. If he obeyed, his dignity as a man would be destroyed. Trampled hard.
In the face of power, the competition is to see who is stronger.
"Qian'er, the prince is talking to you." Uncle Ning Yuan's serious tone was also forcing his son.
For the sake of the glory and future of Earl's Mansion, sacrifice yourself.
