Jiang Jie is dressed in Confucian attire and has a refined temperament that has been immersed in poetry and calligraphy all year round.
Although he is nearly fifty years old, he still has the charm of his youth.
There is a woman beside Jiang Jie. Although she is older, she is beautiful and elegant, and her eyebrows are very similar to Jiang Yueling's.
She should be Jiang Yueling's mother.
The carriage door curtain opened.
Yan Wulu, dressed in brocade clothes, appeared from the carriage.
Behind Yan Wulu was Jiang Yueling, who looked delighted.
She is wearing a bright red dress, looking beautiful and smart...
When Yan Wulu was about to get off the carriage, a servant should have placed wooden steps under the carriage for him to allow Yan Wulu and others to get off smoothly.
but……
I don't know if it was negligence on the part of Jiang's family or some other reason.
It took me a long time to find the wooden stairs.
Jiang Jie's expression changed slightly... If this initial meeting leaves such a bad image on Prince Zhenbei, how will we get along with him in the future? How should the Jiang family deal with themselves?
Yan Wulu didn't know whether he should go down or not.
As an advanced warrior, he could easily get on a tall horse, so how could he not get off an ordinary carriage?
However, as the prince of Zhenbei, jumping down directly is a bit against the rules and etiquette.
What's more, behind Yan Wulu, there are women like Jiang Yueling who don't know how to fight.
He went down all at once, and did the people behind him in colorful skirts do the same?
In this dilemma, a man from the Jiang family dressed in butler's clothing suddenly stepped forward and lay down under the carriage.
"Your Majesty and Madam, please get out of the car."
The man lay on the ground and tried his best to make his body look like a straight bridge.
Yan Wulu hesitated.
But after thinking about it, I also felt that sacrificing this person would better protect the dignity and interests of the Jiang family and the Zhenbei Palace.
"Hard work." Yan Wulu said lightly, then stepped down on the man's back.
Jiang Yueling followed closely behind.
During this period, the man still had a friendly and honest smile.
For a while, it also left a good impression in the hearts of Yan Wulu and others...
"May I have your name."
"Reporting to His Highness the Crown Prince, this villain's name is Jiang Fu, and he is the chief steward of the Jiang family." The man stood up and answered Yan Wulu's question.
It was also at this time that Yan Wulu discovered that the other party was short and skinny. The more gorgeous butler's clothes he wore before made him look stronger. In fact, he was much shorter than Yan Wulu, even shorter than Jiang Yueling.
Be shorter.
He is a little older and his facial features are not handsome, but he always smiles and makes people feel friendly.
"Jiang Fu?"
Yan Wulu read out silently. He thought it was nothing at first, but in the next moment, Yan Wulu suddenly remembered——
In the original novel, the evil servant who falsely accused Ye Changtian and was like a blood-sucking worm in the Jiang family, wasn't his name Jiang Fu?
…
Yan Wulu was distracted for a while, but after getting off the car, he didn't pay much attention to this episode.
...It wasn’t until later that Yan Wulu knew that the wooden steps were the work of Jiang Fu.
As for the purpose, maybe it was to leave a deep impression on Prince Zhenbei.
Putting the entire Jiang family in danger, Zhenbei Palace ignored the face and only thought about himself, which is in line with his character as an evil servant.
Yan Wulu led everyone from the Zhenbei Palace to the carpet laid out by the Jiang family.
After some complicated etiquette, Yan Wulu finally met Jiang Yueling's father and the head of the Jiang family, Jiang Jie.
Next to him, Mother Jiang's eyes were always on her daughter Jiang Yueling, with tears in her eyes.
Especially after seeing her only daughter safe and sound with a smile on her face, Jiang's mother could no longer suppress her inner emotions and cried with joy.
Fortunately, there were many people here, and the gongs and drums used to welcome Yan Wulu were too loud, so Jiang Mu's cry was not too conspicuous.
Jiang's mother was quickly taken to the rear by Jiang Jie quietly.
After bowing to each other, Jiang Jie personally led Yan Wulu to the reception hall.
"Your Majesty, please take a seat."
Jiang Jie is very polite.
Even though Jiang Jie's own age and seniority are far above Yan Wulu, according to etiquette, Yan Wulu still has to sit in the most distinguished upper left seat.
The other party is the prince of Zhenbei.
Within Da Qian, only the direct bloodline of His Majesty the Emperor is more noble than the other party.
"Master Yue-Zhang, please." Yan Wulu nodded slightly, and at the same time stretched out his hand to signal Jiang Jie to sit on the upper right side.
Jiang Jie was shocked by Yan Wulu's title.
The other party's "Master-in-law" raised him to a status no less than that of Zhenbei Wang Yandong.
Jiang Jie was slightly surprised in his heart, but in terms of etiquette, Yan Wulu should indeed be called this.
For a moment, Jiang Jie seemed to understand why her daughter said in her private letter, "My husband is a gentleman like my father!"
After a few exchanges of greetings.
Yan Wulu and the two of them were silent for a long time in the reception hall.
"I should have come to see the two elders earlier after Yue Ling married into the palace."
Yan Wulu tried to find a topic and suddenly said: "...But, I didn't expect that it was delayed because of some things, so it was postponed until today."
Yan Wulu originally wanted to say that it was just because of his martial arts practice.
But the same words fall into different ears, but they also have different meanings...
For example, in Jiang Jie's ears, wasn't this Yan Wulu reminding him that his family fled the Northland overnight?
If it hadn't been like this, Yan Wulu might have come to Jiang's house long ago...
Jiang Jie felt a little guilty and speechless.
But he actually didn't expect that the incident where Yue Ling was forced to marry would eventually develop like this.
Even though his daughter had already explained it roughly in a private letter, Jiang Jie still couldn't understand...
My precious daughter, who has an extremely strong personality, will one day voluntarily marry a prince and share a husband with her?
Jiang Jie can't imagine...
…
In the secluded courtyard of the Jiang family, away from the crowd, Zhang Chunhua and Qiuyue were both dressed in black guard uniforms.
They came here as a barrier to protect the Crown Prince Yan Wulu, and they no longer had to hide their identity as warriors, so they wore uniforms that were more convenient for combat.
Perhaps she was waiting for boredom, Qiuyue suddenly said to Zhang Chunhua -
"Sister, this Jiang family is still not as beautiful as our Zhenbei Palace. It always has a dilapidated and decayed smell..."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chunhua glanced around and nodded slightly.
"Kind of."
"...But there is no comparison between the two. The Zhenbei Palace is the place where the Crown Prince and the King live. How can it be compared with the Jiang family."
Qiuyue quietly approached Chunhua, and while there was no one around, she asked secretly——
"Sister, to be honest, are you a little jealous of Jiang Yueling? You are jealous that the Crown Prince would make a special trip to the Jiang family just for her."
