Chapter 16 Forbidden Reading

Within a few days, the news that the stupid young master of the Jiang family wanted to study had spread throughout Linzhou.

Linzhou was originally a gathering place for business names across the country, and wealthy businessmen gathered here. It has always been said that prosperity is in Kyoto and wealth is in Linzhou. Common people rumored that the emperor's treasury was built in Linzhou, which shows this.

The Jiang family is a wealthy family in Linzhou and one of the top wealthy businessmen. There are only one or two that can rival it. Moreover, Jiang Da is the president of the Linzhou Chamber of Commerce, and his status is unrivaled. However, although he is physically strong, he is

He wanted to support his eldest son, so he always asked Jiang Shang to attend meetings on his behalf.

On this day, the annual general meeting of the Linzhou Chamber of Commerce will be held. This is a day for Jiang merchants to show off their talents. They are neatly dressed and shining. Although they are over forty, they are still full of energy and high spirits.

After all, Jiang Shang has been up and down in the business world for many years, and he has long been very skilled in dealing with people's mistakes. Others had been waiting at the Chamber of Commerce for a long time, and he was late. Others were dissatisfied but could only swallow it.

"Everyone, Haihan, Haihan! I'm a little late, but I hope you can forgive me for being so busy with things!" Jiang Shang bowed his hands, looking proud of himself, but pretending to be humble.

Although everyone felt disgusted when they saw this, they could only agree. However, there were always people who were upset and muttering came from nowhere.

"You silly son is about to take the imperial examination, why are you still pretending here!"

The voice was not loud, but it was just enough for everyone to hear. Everyone covered their faces and laughed. The more scandals like this, the better. Besides, Jiang Shang is a very honest guy. He only got this position with his father's power. Naturally,

Many people are unconvinced.

Jiang Shang's face changed drastically, and there was an unknown fire in his heart. However, the occasion was so important that he could only endure it secretly, smile angrily, suppressing the embarrassment and anger at the corner of his eyebrows.



As soon as the meeting ended, Jiang Shang went back home directly, with a dark face, and the accompanying servants did not dare to show their anger.

Returning to Jiang Mansion, the hurried knock on the door made the boy who opened the door agitated. He was about to curse a few words. When he opened the door, he saw it was the servant of the eldest master Jiang Shang. He also saw the unkind expression of Jiang Shang behind him, so he hurriedly respectfully said,

Opened the door carefully.

Jiang Shang walked straight to Fengmingxuan without even looking at it!

There were many spies in the mansion, and before Merchant Jiang even reached Fengmingxuan, the news had already spread to every room, and even the cause and effect were already clear.

Aunt Li let out a sharp laugh in the room, with a sinister look in her eyes, "Humph! You are worthy of fighting with me!"

At this time, Liu Yin was teaching Jiang Yicheng how to read and write in Fengmingxuan. She pretended to be a strict teacher and knocked hard on the table with a ruler, and said in a false voice: "Be serious!"

Jiang Yicheng was already familiar with her routines, he had already recognized those words, but just looking at his beloved wife's cute appearance and teaching him how to read made him reluctant to miss it.

He pretended to be serious and said, "Madam, I know this word."

Liu Yin was overjoyed, thinking that he had finally learned it, but he still put on the airs of a teacher and said calmly: "Then you really want to read it?"

"The word is pronounced 'lift'", Jiang Yicheng showed an innocent look, the dim light of the sun shone on his face, a combination of childishness and heroism merged on his face, shining brightly and unstoppably.

Liu Yin was dumbfounded. She was a little dazed. Has he really become stupid?

"'Lift' what?! You have completely embarrassed the Jiang family!"

A scolding sound came from behind, a strong male voice. The uncontrollable anger in this voice made people tremble. Both Jiang Yicheng and Liu Yin were frightened by the sudden voice, and they both followed the sound.

When Jiang Yicheng saw it was Jiang Shang, he stood up immediately, his face full of horror, his eyes instinctively lowered, not daring to look at Jiang Shang.

Liu Yin, on the other hand, was frightened by the scolding, but it was purely because he was unprepared. Now he saw that the person coming was Jiang Shang, and although he noticed that he was angry, he was still neither humble nor arrogant.

"I wonder why daddy is so angry?" There was no trace of panic in his voice, but an unusual calmness.

The servants and maids beside him lowered their heads and dared not speak, but they were impressed by Liu Yin's calmness in times of crisis, and their admiration for her grew even more.

Jiang Shang was originally angry, but after seeing Liu Yin, he secretly felt that he had lost his temper. Liu Yin's biological uncle had just been promoted to the prefect of Linzhou. After all, he was a housekeeper, so he couldn't be too embarrassed.

Jiang Shang stood with his hands behind his hands, his brows furrowed, his anger hard to subside, his voice was low, and his anger was hard to suppress, "What else are you studying?!"

Liu Yin didn't know what he meant, but he answered seriously: "Although Jiang Yicheng is stupid now, he should be taught to read."

Liu Yin's answer was bland, which left Jiang Shang speechless for a moment. He didn't know where to direct his anger. However, after all, he was so angry today that he still couldn't get rid of his anger.

"Which song did you sing? Did you deliberately humiliate the Jiang family?!" Although Jiang Shang's voice was not high-pitched, it was full of energy.

Liu Yin still didn't know what happened, and was confused when faced with Jiang Shang's questioning. He thought to himself, could it be that this father didn't love his son so much, but he still needed to be so angry even though he knew two words?

"Father, Cheng'er was not like this before, and you know that. Now, what's wrong with me teaching him how to read again?" Liu Yin frowned slightly, and was a little unhappy.

Jiang Shang couldn't hear it and snorted coldly, "That's all for being stupid! Are you still making a joke now?!"

"But……"

"No buts! Stop it immediately from today on! Don't embarrass yourself again!" Before Liu Yin finished speaking, Jiang Shang had already made harsh words. Before Liu Yin could say another word, he had already thrown away his sleeves! Step by step

Shengfeng, go to Aunt Li's residence!

Liu Yin was left wondering why. She really didn't expect that Jiang Shang would be so indifferent to Jiang Yicheng!

Jiang Yicheng remained silent at the side, but his eyes had long since lost their childishness, revealing a hint of loneliness. His handsome face, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, lacked any air and was tainted with an indifferent temperament.

He really didn't expect that he was so unworthy in his father's heart!

Liu Yin hurriedly sent someone to find out what happened. Something must have happened to Jiang Shang to be so angry suddenly. She had already started teaching. Although she knew they disapproved, no one blatantly stopped her.

But today, Jiang Shang actually got angry with her, his daughter-in-law who had just entered the house, over this, which was really strange.

Suddenly coming back to consciousness, I thought of Jiang Yicheng, but saw him standing upright, the breeze blowing the hem of his clothes, but he was motionless, with complicated eyes.

Liu Yin guessed that he might be stimulated, so he called him softly: "Cheng'er, Cheng'er."
