Jiang Lin took a sip of the porridge and was very dissatisfied with what they said, "Am I so useless in your eyes?" Why would I ruin my own body? Still can't stand it.
"I say, you two big virgins, where do you have the face to talk about me?"
Dayue women usually got married when they were sixteen or seventeen, but men still haf to wait a few years late. Zhou Chengwang and Du Yuling would soon become an adult, but neither of them had a thought to get married.

However, the real rich and noble families wouldn't stuff a bunch of women in their son's room before the main wife entered the door. Because if this matter was spread outside, they wouldn't be able to marry a good girl. Although some theoretical knowledge had been reserved, it was only theory.
The two of them were stabbed suddenly by Jiang Lin, and they silently changed the subject and talked about serious business.
Their visits were mainly to deliver good news to Jiang Lin, "Do you know about the ghost haunting in Anyang Bo's mansion last night?"
Jiang Lin thought to himself, he was responsible for that ghost, could he not know, but he didn't show it on his face, and shook his head, "I don't know, how is it haunted?"
Zhou Chengwang chuckled, "Your stepmother said that someone was talking in her room in the middle of the night, and also wrote bloody words on the mirror to curse her. It's said that your stepmother fainted from fright, so people in Anyang Bo called a doctor in the middle of the night."
Du Yuling added, "There is also Jiang Zhen. It's said that he also met a ghost last night, and was tied up with a rope by the ghost. The servants outside the gate didn't hear a single movement, let alone saw anyone coming in or out. Jiang Zhen slept soundly on the bed, but the servants pulled him out from under the bed the next morning."
Jiang Lin looked back and forth between the two of them, "You two, tell the truth, have you arranged someone in Anyang Bo's mansion? You even know about Jiang Zhen waking up from under the bed."
"The one about your stepmother was passed on by people in Anyang Bo's mansion. As for Jiang Zhen, it was written in the letter sent by that lecher himself," Du Yuling changed Jiang Zhen's name again.
He was still angry when he mentioned Jiang Zhen, "This shameless toad actually wrote all such embarrassing things in a letter and asked someone to give it to my little sister. He also said in the letter that he was frightened and a little scared. He wanted to see my little sister and said that as long as he saw her, he wouldn't be afraid of anything. Ugh, what the hell!"
Appropriately showing weakness, showing that you need the comfort of your beloved woman, not only can attract the attention of the other party, but it will also make her feel distressed and soft-hearted. With this soft-heartedness, she must agree to whatever he wants.
Jiang Lin had to admit that Jiang Zhen had great potential in being a scumbag, and it could be said that he was indeed Anyang Bo's biological son.
Jiang Lin asked Du Yuling, "Has your sister gone?"
Du Yuling said, "How could we let her meet Jiang Zhen alone? I told her a lot about Jiang Zhen not caring about his mother's encounter with ghost, but he wanted to meet her instead. This is so unfilial. If he is a filial son, he would definitely not say such things. Instead, he should write a letter to tell you that he has to serve his sick mother recently and has no time to write another letter to you. This is the right thing."
"My little sister thought it made sense. Although she still missed Jiang Zhen, she didn't say she was going to see him."
Jiang Lin felt relieved, "Anyway, don't give them a chance to meet alone, and you can ask your sister to make more demands on Jiang Zhen in the future. If you continue to torment him, he won't be able to hold on for long."
"That's what I thought. By the way, your stepmother got sick after encountering a ghost in the middle of the night. Do you want to go back and see her?"
Jiang Lin pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Go, of course I have to go, not only go, but also give her a gift, you two do me a favor."
Jiang Lin asked the two of them to get closer, and muttered for a while, and when Jiang Lin finished speaking, Zhou Chengwang and Du Yuling looked at him with admiration, and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely fullfil your wish and give you as many concubines/prostitutes (小娘) as you want."
"Go, what are you talking about, what concubine, it's just my filial piety, I want to show filial respect to my father so I give him a beautiful wife like a flower, and this is all due to my filial piety as a son. "
Zhou Chengwang and Du Yuling agreed, "Yes, yes, it's all due to your good son's filial piety."
Jiang Lin, who wanted to show his filial piety, quickly brought the gift and took a carriage to Anyang Bo's mansion. Anyang Bo hadn't come back yet, so he first went to annoy Zhao Qiuru openly, and then he told Jiang Zhen that a toad should never eat swan meat, which made Jiang Zhen so angry that he almost started a fight with him.
[癩蝦蟆想吃天鵝肉 lài há ma xiǎng chī tiān é ròu: lit. a toad wishing to eat swan meat; fig. to crave for what one is not worthy of; An ugly man hopes to marry a pretty girl.]
Then, Jiang Lin forced himself to have a meal at Anyang Bo's mansion, and he didn't leave until Anyang Bo came back.
When Anyang Bo came back, he was followed by a pitiful but good-looking weak beauty in ragged clothes. Jiang Lin circled around the two of them and sent his blessings with a smile on his face.
He didn't listen to Anyang Bo's explanation, and left after congratulating him, but Jiang Lin believed that as long as this girl joined the big family of Anyang Bo's mansion, their family would live a happy life together.
