Chapter 464 The Situation of the Jiang Family
Jiang Manqing was surprised when she heard Yang Hao's decision.
Go directly and tell the old man of the Jiang family that she is his woman, no, a shady underground lover?
Jiang Manqing thought Yang Hao was joking for the first time, but when she saw Yang Hao's serious and domineering eyes, Jiang Manqing realized that what Yang Hao said was true!
Jiang Manqing was very moved for a moment. Although the Jiang family was not as good as the Yang family, they were still respectable people, but Yang Hao wanted to tell him in front of the old man that her granddaughter who was the deputy speaker was her lover. !
How will the old man react?
Will he raise his crutch and hit Yang Hao directly on the head?
But Yang Hao still decided to go. The Yang family is indeed very powerful, and Yang Hao is indeed valued and even appreciated by Mr. Yang. However, officialdom is extremely complicated. It involves countless exchanges of interests and compromises. If there is no Indeed, the foundation of cooperation and personal feelings cannot affect the development direction of the family.
"No, you can't go. After you go, I'm afraid things will get worse. Maybe you will anger grandpa, and it's not necessarily that he will let Lin Feng and I get married as soon as possible."
Yang Hao shook his head and smiled: "Believe me, it won't happen."
Jiang Manqing asked strangely: "Why, do you know my grandfather better than me?"
Yang Hao smiled and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, as if it was a sneer or a mockery. Even his voice had a hint of erraticness: "After I heard you talk about the Jiang family's decision for you before, I So I asked someone to check your Jiang family."
Jiang Manqing was slightly surprised, but then she remembered that Yang Hao went to investigate her home, but it was also for herself, and she felt relieved.
"What did you find?"
Yang Hao looked sideways at Jiang Manqing and said in a low voice: "It looks like a big tree with lush leaves, but in fact the roots of the tree have rotted and are no longer able to absorb nutrients, and it is gradually dying."
Jiang Manqing bit her lip gently, did not refute Yang Hao, and asked in a low voice: "Why do you say that?"
Yang Hao chuckled and said: "Mr. Jiang is a capable man. He has brought the Jiang family to where it is today with one person's efforts. Although it is not a wealthy family in the Yan Kingdom, it is still considered powerful in this province. Family, it’s a pity that the second generation of the Jiang family has no successors and is a bit neglected. When it comes to the third generation of the Jiang family, although there are several good seedlings, after one generation, your foundation is too shallow. It's you, the deputy speaker, who has basically come to an end. On the one hand, as a woman, you will be subject to some restrictions, and on the other hand, your family's strength is no longer enough to support you moving forward..."
Jiang Manqing sighed silently in her heart and did not say a word. Next to her, Wei Yunzhu heard Jiang Manqing and Yang Hao talk about home for the first time, and did not speak, but listened quietly.
Yang Hao glanced at Jiang Manqing, who looked gloomy, and continued: "Mr. Jiang must be very old, right?"
Jiang Manqing nodded, with a little worry in his eyes.
Yang Hao sighed softly: "If Mr. Jiang is here, with his prestige and his connections, he can definitely keep the Jiang family safe. But once Mr. Jiang is a hundred years old, the Jiang family will almost reach the end of the road and lack the support of resources. It is basically impossible to break through the siege by relying on oneself. I am sure that once Mr. Jiang is a century old, it will mark the beginning of the decline of the Jiang family. This is why Mr. Jiang can’t wait for you to marry Lin Feng. For The first thing you want to do is to form an alliance with the Lin family, and now you are one of the few people in the Jiang family who can take action. However, this alliance will not actually be of much help to your future. The alliance is nothing more than helping the rest of the Jiang family to survive through you. It's just difficult."
Jiang Manqing looked at Yang Hao and asked softly: "Yes, what you said is true, but does it have anything to do with our affairs?"
Yang Hao smiled and said: "When it comes to forming an alliance, cooperation usually benefits both parties. Although the Jiang family is on the decline, it still has a certain foundation. The Yang family may not mind accepting the Jiang family. Sometimes an alliance is formed. It’s not necessarily necessary to get married or something to be tied together, especially between the Yang family and the Jiang family, there is no need for such an alliance at all.”
Jiang Manqing smiled bitterly and said: "Of course, for the Yang family, the Jiang family is nothing, so you are right, this is not actually an alliance, but only acceptance."
"The method is not important. Isn't the result what the Jiang family wants?" Yang Hao smiled slightly and said confidently: "Where your Jiang family is, our Yang family does not have manpower, so I think the Yang family will not refuse. Join the Jiang family."
Jiang Manqing heard Yang Hao's words and roughly understood Yang Hao's plan: "Are you prepared to use this as a condition in exchange for my grandfather's fulfillment of our needs?"
"This is not only helping us, it is also helping the Jiang family!" Yang Hao said categorically: "The Jiang family may be like the icing on the cake to the Yang family, but the Yang family is a timely help to the Jiang family. This has a different meaning... …Forgive me for saying this, but this is the truth and has nothing to do with our relationship."
Jiang Manqing nodded slightly bitterly. She didn't know that this was the truth, but she was still a little sad when she heard Yang Hao say this.
As Yang Hao said, Mr. Jiang is very capable and has great power, but the tragedy is that the second generation of the Jiang family has problems. They either took other paths, or entered the officialdom without sufficient ability and qualifications, resulting in None of the second generation of the Jiang family can support the Jiang family, but the third generation of the Jiang family has produced several good seedlings. If there are enough resources, the future achievements should be good, but the resources of the Jiang family are obviously not enough. After all, Mr. Jiang has retired now. After all, no matter how good the relationship is, how good the face is, if you use a little less, these few good seedlings are destined to have limited achievements. This is the sorrow of the Jiang family, and it is also what Mr. Jiang is eager to change.
"The Yang family, can you really accept the Jiang family?"
Yang Hao smiled: "I ask you to find out about the members of your Jiang family, they are members of our Yang family. I also asked whether the Yang family can accept the Jiang family. Although I didn't give a completely affirmative answer, it shouldn't be a big problem, but The specifics depend on the attitudes of the two families, this kind of thing is not something that one family can just say."
Jiang Manqing nodded understandingly: "Well, I know that."
Yang Hao said with a smile: "Now you should believe that I have the confidence to meet Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Manqing nodded with a wry smile. How could she not understand that Mr. Jiang wanted to marry Lin Feng, but he didn't think that he and Lin Feng were happy together. This was a family task, a political marriage. Perhaps this was one of the reasons why Mr. Jiang was willing to nod in agreement.
"Well, I believe it, but I haven't reached that point yet. Besides, I don't have time to go back recently. Let's talk about it after a while."
Yang Hao hummed and said: "If Lin Feng keeps pestering you, just tell me, even if I can't appear as your man, I can always help you block him."
Jiang Manqing smiled lightly: "Don't worry, although he is a bit annoying, he doesn't dare to do anything to me."
After saying this, Jiang Manqing changed the subject: "Are you going back tonight?"
When Yang Hao heard that Jiang Manqing asked about the matter between himself and Qiu Yunzhen, he was immediately embarrassed.
Jiang Manqing looked very skeptical, patted Yang Hao's chest, and said with a smile: "Forget it, we won't bother you anymore, lest you can't deal with it when you go back and make your wife unhappy, and it's getting late. Wash up and go home quickly."
Wei Yunzhu next to him smiled softly and said, "Sister Qing, if he wants to go back, let him go back, why are you in a hurry, you are the only one in your house, why don't you live here today, we two sisters can chat easily."
Jiang Manqing hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed. Her daughter was not at home, and she was not used to guarding the empty room by herself. This was also Jiang Manqing's feeling recently.
Since childhood, her daughter has always been by Jiang Manqing's side. The mother and daughter are each other's greatest spiritual support. No matter how busy they are at work or how late they work overtime, they always feel happy when they think of their daughter at home. After studying at university and living on campus, the house suddenly became empty. When Jiang Manqing returned home and guarded the empty house alone, he felt extremely empty in his heart.
She suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
It was precisely because of this feeling that when she reunited with Yang Hao this time, her mood was very complicated. The moment she saw Yang Hao, her lonely, empty heart seemed to become full all of a sudden.
"Okay, I won't go back today, let's talk privately."
