chapter 5 The first beauty to come to your door ===

Everything in the villa was very familiar. Of course, Alfred Jandrell didn't care about these trivial things. He went to the bathroom to take a shower, and when he went to the closet to find clothes to wear, he realized that he had encountered a big trouble. .

The clothes in this wardrobe are either serious dresses or colorful and messy things. In daily life, it is naturally impossible to wear dresses, and he dislikes those colorful clothes. He really doesn't like them. Knowing what kind of aesthetic taste Mr. Jiang has, he would actually buy such weird clothes for himself.

After picking for a while, Alfred Jandrell reluctantly picked out a set of clothes that he could wear, put them on casually, got up and went to the study upstairs.

The study room is on the far left side of the second floor. It is very large, but there are very few things in it. Apart from a desk, there is only a bookcase against the wall. There are even fewer books in the bookcase. It is obvious that Jiang The young master really has no interest in learning this kind of thing.

Alfred Jandrell glanced around and found that there were no signs of turning over the books. He couldn't help but smiled bitterly, but he casually took out a book and read it.

To come into contact with a new society, in addition to traveling thousands of miles, he also needs to read thousands of books. Alfred Jandrell understands that he cannot stay in this place all the time, so he needs to have sufficient knowledge of the world, and reading is undoubtedly the fastest way. The fastest shortcut.

The time for flipping through books always passed very quickly, and it got dark in the blink of an eye. It wasn't until he heard his stomach rumbling that Alfred Jandrell realized that he had not gone anywhere else the whole day except for breakfast in the hospital. food.

I closed the book with some reluctance and was about to leave the study to find something to eat when I heard footsteps, and then a little head poked in.

When the little girl saw Alfred Jandrell, she giggled, walked in, put the tray in her hand on the desk, and said, "Brother, I heard the servants said that you were in the study today and specifically asked them not to disturb you. How could you know that they I actually forgot to bring you food, brother, don’t blame me.”

This is his sister Daisy Jandrell, and the only person in the entire Jandrell's family who is still willing to talk to and get close to him.

Because his mother died young and his father was not very "friendly" to him, over time, he developed some flaws in his character as he grew up. He also grew up in a big family environment like the Jandrell's family, and his every move was criticized by countless people. If you pay attention, if you go a little bit out of line, it will cause uproar in the city.

Gradually, he himself forgot what kind of person he was, became self-defeating, and the things he did became more and more deviant.

But no matter what he becomes, his sister Daisy Jandrell will always care about him very much. It's just that in the past, he often didn't take this good thing seriously. Instead, he would try his best to defraud Daisy Jandrell of pocket money. , often making little girls cry.

In the living room just now, when he was betrayed by everyone and despised by everyone, only Daisy Jandrell expressed concern about his situation. However, Daisy Jandrell was young and had no right to speak, so she couldn't speak at critical moments.

Seeing Daisy Jandrell at this time, Alfred Jandrell felt a strong sense of closeness in his heart. He touched her little head lovingly and said with a smile: "I also asked you why you are so quiet today. How are you? How are you studying recently? ?”

Daisy Jandrell stuck out her tongue and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, it's summer vacation now, and school will start in a few days. Brother, you will be a sophomore next semester. You won't even forget this, right?"

Then he remembered that his brother had never attended school seriously for a day since he entered college, and he immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing.

Alfred Jandrell didn't notice anything strange about Daisy Jandrell, and looked a little surprised. He really had no impression of this. It's not difficult to imagine how much Young Master Jiang hates learning this kind of thing.

He laughed at himself and said, "I would have really forgotten if you didn't tell me."

Daisy Jandrell didn't expect that this face-conscious brother would admit the matter directly. She looked slightly stunned. She looked at Alfred Jandrell for a while and said confusedly: "Brother, when you came back from the hospital this time, I always felt that you It’s a little different, but I can’t tell what exactly is different.”

Alfred Jandrell smiled casually and looked up at the sky outside. The sky in Yanjing was always gray all year round. There were no stars in sight, and only the moon left a William glow.

"People will always change. The difference is that some people will change after paying a price, while some people, from the bottom of their hearts, hope that they will change."Alfred Jandrell said thoughtfully.

Daisy Jandrell was simple-minded and didn't think too much. She thought her brother's change was a good thing and said with a smile: "Okay, brother, let's not talk about it for now. You haven't eaten anything today. You must be starving. Hurry up." eat first."

Alfred Jandrell nodded, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating. Daisy Jandrell didn't disturb him while he was eating. He walked aside, picked up the book that Alfred Jandrell had just been reading, and started reading.

Just seeing the cover, Daisy Jandrell's face became a little weird. This was a collector's edition of "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon". She knew this book because it was given to her by her grandfather when she was ten years old. Her birthday gift.

Later, when his brother saw it, he shamelessly asked for it, saying that he wanted to cultivate knowledge of classical medical knowledge. Of course, Daisy Jandrell knew that Jiang Alfred Jandrell was not cultivating knowledge of classical medicine, but that this book was quite valuable, so he planned to take it. Go sell it.

Seeing the book at this time, Daisy Jandrell understood that the book had not been sold, but Alfred Jandrell had always hated books. Usually, he would only pretend to pick up the book after being scolded by his grandfather. When reading a book, he would often miss two or three pages before going to see Duke Zhou. As a result, his academic performance from elementary school to high school was always at the bottom. As for getting into college, it was just a dream.

The reason why he is able to study at Yanjing University now is because of the connections his family has made. Otherwise, with his grades, not to mention attending one of the top institutions of higher learning in the country, I am afraid that even if he goes to a junior college, other schools will have to Consider it.

However, Alfred Jandrell stayed in the study all day today and did not go out. He was actually reading a book, and it seemed that he was still reading this book. This made Daisy Jandrell face become strange.

Alfred Jandrell didn't know what the little girl was thinking. After finishing the meal in three or two mouths, she still felt unfinished, but he also knew that the digestion capacity of this body was only so much, so he couldn't be greedy for more.

Putting down the bowls and chopsticks, Alfred Jandrell said, "Dai'er, if you're okay, go out first and I'll read some more."

Daisy Jandrell nodded obediently, put away the dishes, and went out. When she reached the door, Daisy Jandrell looked back and saw Alfred Jandrell sitting behind the desk, picking up the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon" and reading it very seriously. His thoughts were strange and he immediately closed the door.

"My brother usually doesn't study. I'm afraid he can't even memorize a few Tang poems. He must not be able to read the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic. But my brother is right. Sometimes, when people pay some price, they will seek change. As long as brother is willing to change, that's good...but brother, it's really a little different."

Daisy Jandrell tilted her neck and thought for a while, then left briskly.

Early the next morning, the news about Alfred Jandrell studying behind closed doors spread in the Jandrell's family.

Some people are confused, some are amazed, and most people are still dismissive.

They all knew that when Mr. Jiang usually did something wrong, he would actively work hard to show off to the old man like a good boy, in order to win the old man's favor.

They are accustomed to this kind of thing. After all, no one will really care about it. A guy who probably can't even recognize the words can calm down and pick up a book to read. Young Master Jiang's reading ability is better than him. His ability to spend money on picking up girls is far from enough.

"Brother, have you heard about Alfred Jandrell?" In another luxurious villa in the villa area, Peter Jandrell got into the room and said to Harvey Jandrell.

Harvey Jandrell held a mirror in his hand and looked at his face carefully. Alfred Jandrell's slap was very hard. Not only did his gums bleed, but his cheeks were still a little swollen, which made him feel very unhappy.

"I heard it, what else?"Harvey Jandrell said casually.

"Don't you think it's strange? When did that guy read the book?"Peter Jandrell said curiously.

"Reading? Can he read?"Harvey Jandrell sneered.

Speaking of this, Peter Jandrell also laughed, his face turned cold, and he said: "Whether he is trying to be mysterious or something else, this trick is still very useful for the old man. Otherwise, he made such a big mistake yesterday, how could the old man do it?" Maybe he was spared so easily?"

"Useful? I don't think so!"Harvey Jandrell snorted coldly and said, "The old man is a mature man. How can we understand his actions? But the problem is definitely not with that waste, it must be the old man's treatment of us. Dafang's family was dissatisfied with the situation and deliberately did it to show us."

Peter Jandrell face changed and he said, "How could this happen?"

"You ask me who I'm asking. Anyway, be careful in what you do recently and don't get caught. After a few days, let's see how I kill that beast!"Harvey Jandrell said harshly.

————

Alfred Jandrell didn't know that he was studying behind closed doors and inadvertently attracted so much attention in the Jandrell's family.

He finished reading the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon" overnight last night and was sitting in the yard, flipping through the "Tao Te Ching".

Although there are very few books in the study, each one is extremely valuable. Of course, this value refers to the fact that it can be exchanged for money. It is obvious that Mr. Jiang has a bad taste in reading.

"The Tao can be said, but it is not the eternal Tao; the name can be named, but it is not the eternal name. Wu is named the beginning of heaven and earth. Being is named the mother of all things. Therefore, if there is always nothing, you can observe its wonder. If there is always, you can observe its beauty. These two They have the same origin but different names, and they are both called xuan. Mystery is mysterious, and it is the door to all mysteries."

The moment he opened the title page of the book, Alfred Jandrell was shocked, because he discovered that this was actually a rare cultivation method. If it appeared in the Cultivation World, it would immediately cause madness in the holy places of countless aristocratic families.

His breathing suddenly became rapid. Alfred Jandrell hands and feet were almost trembling. He gulped down the book and read it all the way to the end. Alfred Jandrell sighed in disappointment.

It is true that this is a book on cultivation techniques, but it has become impossible to practice because of too many deletions and the fact that some important techniques have been hidden.

"What a pity." He said to himself with a heartbroken look.

"Master, Miss Ye is here and waiting for you in the lobby."Christina Baker walked in from the outside and said expressionlessly.
