Chapter 614 Are you just going to let him go?
When Jiang Youzhen came to the Fourth Prince's Mansion, he was alone, but when he left, the carriage was packed with people.
"This? How can I get it? It's too much and too expensive."
When Jiang Youzhen saw the long list of gifts, his eyes were glued to it.
What did she see? Snow clam? Fifty-year-old ginseng? Blood swallow?
Jiang Youzhen took a deep breath. She had no shortage of treasures, but she lacked this kind of precious medicinal material.
They are all rare nourishing foods, and snow frogs are even rarer, so it's not easy to get them. The blood swallows below are all three taels. She remembered that the maid Xiao Yu'er said that the imperial concubine gave the fourth prince five taels.
Looking at the cloth and accessories below, the Fourth Prince is really generous this time. I didn’t expect him to be so generous.
I was still sneering at you, but you are justified in accepting it, right? Humph!
"My prince said that Lord Jiang suffered a lot because of him this time, but this is nothing, it's all an apology to Jiang Youzhen. After Lord Jiang recovers, His Highness said he would like to invite you to go hunting in the suburbs of the south city."
"Then Chief Steward Yuan should thank His Highness on my behalf. Your Highness is truly considerate of his subordinates and loves the people like his own children." Jiang Youzhen quickly flattered him, looking deeply moved.
But she was complaining in her heart, telling him to stop hunting, as she didn't want to lose her life so early.
She has to be careful with her words and actions from now on, after all, she is an official appointed by the court, right?
"By the way, what about the Ministry of Personnel?" Jiang Youzhen hesitated to speak.
"His Highness said that the documents and official seals will be issued tomorrow, and Lord Jiang will be able to take up his post at the Imperial Academy in two days."
Jiang Youzhen immediately smiled happily, "This is really a trouble for you, Your Highness. I will keep it in mind."
If Jiang Youzhen were to make changes herself, she would be kicked out by the Ministry of Personnel. No wonder it is said that it is easier to get things done if you have someone in the court? Everyone wants a backer!
"Lord Jiang, you're too polite." Yuan Shang forced a smile. He always felt that this kid was ungrateful.
Their Highness is so high in status, so it is considered a courtesy to him, a gift sent quietly? Apart from the Imperial Concubine, who else could be taken seriously by His Highness? But Jiang Youzhen was so arrogant and still refused to submit to His Highness.
He couldn't stand it and also had opinions about Jiang Youzhen.
After seeing Yuan Shang off, her family members asked her about her recent situation and asked her to lie down on the bed and rest. Jiang Youzhen did not refuse. She felt much more comfortable when she returned to the familiar environment.
"A nest of gold or silver is not as good as one's own doghouse! Although the Fourth Prince's mansion is good, it is not as good as one's own home." Jiang Youzhen sighed.
"That's right! You are destined to be poor and destitute anyway."
Suddenly a familiar voice came, and Jiang Youzhen turned his head to look at the windowsill. Not surprisingly, the gorgeous figure was leaning on the windowsill, looking lazy.
"Your Highness is really unconventional. He doesn't go through the main gate but instead tries to learn from other scoundrels by climbing through the window." Jiang Youzhen rolled his eyes. This guy is here again and he looks quite free.
The second prince snorted coldly, "You really don't know how to appreciate kindness. Do you know that you have offended people before you even entered the court?"
Jiang Youzhen was stunned, "Who?"
"Who else could it be? Father!" The second prince looked as if he was gloating.
"You eat and live at the fourth prince's house. Now everyone in the court says that you are from the fourth prince's lineage. How can the emperor like you? Do you still want to curry favor with him? Just wait! The emperor won't even bother to pay attention to you." The second prince sneered.
Jiang Youzhen curled her lips. She had thought about this problem in the past two days and knew that there would definitely be some gossip. However, she had a way. However, she had not yet reported to the Hanlin Academy, so she could only wait for the opportunity.
"Didn't you notice that Tong Huaian has disappeared in the past two days? Logically speaking, he should have come to see you while you were recuperating in the Fourth Prince's Mansion. After all, it's convenient for him to go in and out of the Fourth Prince's Mansion, and he has been sticking to you before, like a dog-skin plaster, and you can't get rid of him even if you drive him away."
Jiang Youzhen suddenly became thoughtful, "Didn't he go to work in the Hanlin Academy?"
Because she was delayed for a few days, everyone else had already registered at the Imperial Academy. Even Ke Zhenqiu was preparing for the examination to become a scholar.
Wen Ruyu went to the Fourth Prince's Mansion to visit her that day. Only Tong Huaian was there. He sent Xiaowu to deliver medicinal materials that day, but he did not show up.
Jiang Youzhen felt strange at the time, but when he thought about how busy Tong Huaian had been with official duties after joining the company, he didn't pay much attention to it. Could there be something else going on here?
"Yes! He is an editor of the Imperial Academy and a close minister to the emperor. Recently, my father asked Tong Huaian to draft the imperial edict and give lectures at the imperial lectures. Tong Huaian has been doing very well recently and is the most popular person for a while!"
The second prince thought Jiang Youzhen would be concerned, or even panic. Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Jiang Youzhen became relaxed.
She walked to the round table and poured herself a bowl of tea. "That's also due to Brother Huai'an's strength and luck. He was the runner-up in the imperial examination, so his literary talent is beyond doubt. It's not surprising that the emperor asked him to draft the imperial edict!"
The second prince jumped down from the windowsill, "Are you really not in a hurry?"
Jiang Youzhen touched his chest, it still hurt a little after making big movements.
"Why are you in such a hurry? We are all colleagues. I am good friends with Brother Huai'an and I am happy for him."
Noticing Jiang Youzhen's actions, the second prince felt inexplicably annoyed.
Humph! This is the price of running around. Whose house can't you go to? Why did you go to the fourth brother's?
"Then I'll just wait and see you sitting on the bench. I heard that my father really appreciates his talent!"
Jiang Youzhen nodded, "Brother Huai'an has finally turned bad luck into good luck. He will definitely be respected by the elders in the mansion."
The second prince turned his head away in anger, "You are just going to give in to him? Even if he gets the emperor's favor, he may not remember you. Then you two will be rivals, and you can just wait to be inferior to him! You are the top scholar, but you still have to rely on him. It's really a joke to everyone."
Jiang Youzhen turned to look at him, his eyes showing a hint of doubt, "Why are you so anxious, Your Highness? I'm not even anxious yet!"
The second prince suddenly choked and somehow remembered the saying that the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuchs are anxious to death.
He took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and threw it over unhappily. Jiang Youzhen quickly caught it and asked, "What is this?"
"We don't have this holy medicine for healing bone injuries in our border areas. It's very precious! One thousand taels of silver per piece. Remember to return it to me."
Jiang Youzhen curled his lips, "Are you Zhou Baopi? One thousand taels for each? Then take my life for it."
"Miser! If you don't spend the money you earn, you will die without enjoying it." The second prince sneered.
"Bah, bah, bah! I hope I will live a long life and have good days ahead of me!" Jiang Youzhen rolled his eyes at him, thinking that a dog cannot spit out ivory.
In her previous life, she made a lot of money but didn't spend it all. This crow's mouth hit her sore spot. If she had known that she would die so early, she wouldn't have saved money to buy a house. She hesitated for a long time before buying the jewelry.
Now, I don’t know who has benefited from my savings.
