An old man and a young man came in at the door. The old man was an old man in his sixties, tall and thin, with bright eyes. The younger one was a girl under twenty, but she was extremely beautiful.
"Why is he here?"
This made the Lin family very depressed. They were waiting for Jiang Xiu and his family to make a fool of themselves, but here came such a heavyweight guest. This guest could stand up to more than a dozen wealthy families.
The man asked once and then asked again: "Is this Mr. Jiang's house?" Even when facing the servants who came here to help, he was somewhat respectful.
This makes the Lin family even more unworthy of this person. Why should they be so polite to the Jiang family
The servant said: "Yes, you are?"
The man said: "My name is Long Chuanru, and this is my grandson named Long Yingqing. I came specially to wish Mr. Jiang a happy new year..." Long Yingqing behind him handed over the gift and looked straight into the villa with a pair of beautiful eyes. .
When they came over, they were still worried about Jiang Xiu's presence. Seeing so many cars waiting at the door, they were basically sure that Jiang Xiu was at home.
"Later!"
This is also the rule of a wealthy family. Generally, when guests come to pay New Year greetings, the servants will be led out directly. However, wealthy families are different. Not everyone is qualified. You have to ask before you can make a decision.
Not long after, they saw Jiang Xiu coming out of the house. Long Chuanru and Long Yingqing hurriedly greeted him. The host came out in person, of course to welcome the guests. Long Chuanru was a little excited. That day, Long Yingqing and Jiang Xiu expressed their feelings. After expressing their sincerity, the pressure of the Long family suddenly disappeared: "Mr. Jiang, I wish you a happy New Year."
Jiang Xiu smiled lightly: "Congratulations!"
The gesture was completely upright. Seeing his appearance, the Lin family had the urge to rush up and beat him, but they were shocked in their hearts. The power of the Long family in the imperial capital was not small, not inferior to the Lin family at all, and the head of the family was actually Long Chuanru personally came to congratulate the New Year, and on such an important day as the second day of the Lunar New Year, giving Jiang Xiu a hundred years is more important than sitting at home and receiving visitors from all over the world.
"Please come in!"
Long Chuanru and Long Yingqing walked inside. When they entered, they found that there were many guests inside. They saw several acquaintances, all of whom were from the Lin family. He didn't know the relationship between the Lin family and Jiang Xiu.
"Mr. Lin also came to pay Mr. Jiang New Year's greetings?"
Long Chuanru had a smile on his face and was very polite, but as soon as he said these words, the expressions of the Lin family changed. What do you mean by coming to pay Mr. Jiang a New Year greeting? This is something that only the lower-ranking people or juniors can do. With Mr. Lin’s Of course, he would not be Jiang Xiu's junior in age, he could only be a subordinate. This head of the Long family actually thought that the Lin family wanted to cling to Jiang Xiu? It's simply ridiculous.
Mr. Lin's face immediately turned cold. He wanted to explain, but he couldn't explain it at the moment. He then asked, "Mr. Long is also coming to Yue Ling's house as a guest?"
Long Chuanru said: "I came here especially to wish Mr. Jiang a happy new year."
The dignified head of the Long family wished Jiang Xiu a New Year's greetings. No matter how I heard this, I thought it was unbelievable. How capable is that kid from the Jiang family
"If you want to celebrate the New Year, can't you just send a servant to give you a gift?" Lin Zedong blurted out.
Long Chuanru hurriedly shook his head and said: "It is my honor, Mr. Long, to wish Mr. Jiang a happy New Year. How dare I be so hasty? Didn't you all come in person?"
Looking at the demeanor of the Lin family, he felt that he had made a mistake again. Almost the whole family was here. Looking at this sincerity, and then looking at himself, Long Chuanru felt that cold sweat was about to fall on his forehead.
What a mistake!
Lin Zecheng asked: "Mr. Long, are you familiar with Jiang Xiu?"
Long Chuanru said: "My Long family owes a lot to Mr. Jiang's care. If we say we are familiar with each other, I'm afraid I'm not as familiar as your Lin family." The Long family had just defected to Jiang Xiu not long ago.
Huo, everyone in the Lin family was a little confused. It sounded like the Long family would rely on Jiang Xiu's wharf in the future.
What, what's going on
Lin Zecheng wanted to say something else, but another guest arrived at the door. This time there were more people. A sad old voice came from the door: "Excuse me, is this Mr. Jiang's home?"
Seeing the visitor at the door, Mr. Lin, Lin Zecheng and others were completely stunned and stood up in confusion.
"Excuse me, please send the message and tell me that Gu Dezhi and his eldest brother Gu Dekang are here to pay New Year's greetings to Mr. Jiang..."
The person standing at the door is not Jiangnan Fengjiang or others.
"how?"
The expressions of everyone in the Lin family changed.
I can’t believe it! !
Jiangnan Fengjiang came to pay Jiang Xiu New Year greetings on the second day of the Lunar New Year? Who would believe this news, but the visitor was definitely Gu Dezhi, and the burly white-haired man beside him was Gu Dekang, the boss of the Gu family. The two pillars of the Gu family actually came together.
"this… "
Mr. Lin was shocked and looked at Uncle Xian. Uncle Xian was also shocked.
There is no reason at all!
No matter how influential Jiang Xiu was in Jiangnan, it was impossible to surpass Gu Dezhi, the feudal lord of Jiangnan.
"You are here..."
Seeing Jiang Xiu, the Gu brothers came up with smiles on their faces and said, "Mr. Jiang, Happy New Year..." The person behind him quickly gave the gift to him.
"Congratulations!"
Jiang Xiu led them inside. Long Chuanru also came up to say hello, and Lin Zecheng also hurriedly came up to say hello: "Gu Shu, Gu Si..."
The Long family boarded Jiang Xiu's boat. The Gu family had already learned through Wang Xintong that from now on, everyone would be on the same boat. Of course, they would provide convenience to each other and form a mutual-helping force.
"Everyone, please take a seat!"
Jiang Xiu paid no attention to the Lin family, and casually asked the Long family to show the guests of the Gu family where to sit. He casually said to Long Yingqing, "You go in and help."
Long Yingqing responded: "Oh!"
The people of the Lin family were deceived and ordered the eldest lady of the Long family to act like a maid. The head of the Long family was not only not at all surprised, but also somewhat surprised.
Jiang Yi was also upstairs at this time. He had gone to hide away. When the Lin family came, he hid as far away as possible, but when he heard that Gu Dezhi was coming, he was shocked and a little confused. He thought Gu Dezhi valued Jiang Xiu because Jiang Xiu had influence in the underground in Jiangnan, but he never expected that he would have such a huge influence.
His bosses were already here, but he still dared to hide. He quickly came down from upstairs to entertain the guests.
"Brother Chuanru, don't you know him? This is Mr. Jiang's biological father, Mr. Jiang Yi."
Long Chuanru stood up in a hurry. Jiang Yi was just a deputy secretary in a remote area of Jiangcheng. How could he deserve Long Chuanru's humble attitude? This was all because of Jiang Xiu.
"Mr. Jiang, Happy New Year..."
Jiang Yi was in a daze. It was the first time someone called him Mr. Jiang, and then he realized that he was old and his son had truly grown up and was promising.
"Thank you, thank you very much, and I wish Mr. Long a happy New Year."
"Please take a seat!"
The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves and had a pleasant conversation, but the Lin family next to them was depressed and confused by this scene. Lin Zecheng wanted to chat with Gu Dezhi, but he had just said hello and the other party just nodded slightly. He signaled that without Jiang Xiu's recommendation, he probably wouldn't be able to get here. Only then did he realize Jiang Xiu's strength.
"How capable is this kid?" Lin Shixiao, the third-generation eldest grandson, said, feeling shocked and puzzled.
"That's right, how..."
People like the Jiang family don't need to be ignored at all. How come they have such a high status as Jiangnan Frontier, Military District Secretary, and the head of the Long family come to pay him New Year's greetings, and they are so respectful.
"Mr. Lin, what do you think?" Uncle Xian asked.
Mr. Lin knew what Uncle Xian meant. If the Lin family had a superficial relationship with Jiang Xiu, the Gu family would never dare to ignore them again. But Jiang Xiu had the foresight and would never forgive the Lin family if he didn't give Lin Yueling an explanation.
"Today's juniors are simply uneducated." Given his seniority and seniority, the Gu brothers did not come to greet him, which made him very angry. Could it be that he had lost his position, relegated to the second line, and had no authority, so he would not be noticed. In? Just snobbish.
But this is the fact. No matter how much you grit your teeth in hatred, there is nothing you can do.
"The Gu family has also been in decline. Gu Dezhi will retire next year, and Gu Dekang will hand over his authority during the adjustment of the military region. What else will the Gu family have by then? How dare they show off in front of my Lin family."
"snort!"
If the Lin family hadn't been greedy for Gu Dezhi's recommendation before he retired to the second line, they wouldn't have looked at the Gu family at all.
But at this moment, a voice came from the door: "Excuse me, is this Mr. Jiang's home?"
When he saw the person at the door clearly, Mr. Lin stood up suddenly. Everyone in the Lin family was stunned as if they had been struck by lightning. They saw a man with extraordinary bearing slowly walking towards him.
