Chapter 544 Advice
Fang Zhongyi was a generous person who often treated people to drinks, so he was popular. However, it was also because of this that his monthly salary was not enough and he was short of money by the end of the month.
"Okay! We're going to launch the raft, so let's say goodbye now. I'll send you a message in two days to invite you to have a chat."
The two said goodbye, and Fang Zhongyi had to go and take other candidates, so they didn't chat any more.
At this time, Tong Huaian came over. He looked at Fang Zhongyi who was leaving and asked curiously, "Are you familiar with that runner? I saw you two were chatting very happily just now."
"Oh! We seem to get along well. He is a small flag officer in the garrison. He is generous and has a good personality." Jiang Youzhen said as he greeted Wen Ruyu who came over.
Tong Huaian frowned, "These yamen runners are all lowly people, many of them are from all walks of life, don't have too much contact with them."
Prostitutes and servants were the lowest class, and Tong Huaian was from an aristocratic family, so he naturally looked down on them. Moreover, some soldiers and servants were indeed of bad character and behaved rudely, shouting at the common people but bowing and scraping to the officials, and this phenomenon was very common.
Jiang Youzhen understood Tong Huaian's prejudice against these people. After all, Tong Huaian came from a noble family and had the noble character of a scholar, but she was not so shy.
But she didn't refute it. It's not easy to convince someone who has been indoctrinated with class ideas since childhood. She was too lazy to waste words. She just smiled and changed the subject.
After finally waiting for the raft to be released, the three of them were very tired. They went out and climbed onto the carriage. The three of them agreed to talk again when they had time, and then they went back to their homes.
Shen and Jiang Fugui finally waited for Jiang Youzhen to come home, but before they had time to ask, Jiang Youzhen rushed into the dormitory.
Qinglang and the others had already prepared hot water and food. After Jiang Youzhen washed up, he ate something casually and fell asleep.
The next day, the sky cleared up and there was finally some spring warmth.
"Xiaolang fell asleep as soon as she came back, and hasn't woken up yet. She must be really tired this time. Should we find a doctor to see her?" Shen was very worried. After all, she was a girl, and she was afraid that she might have some hidden disease after being so tired.
"Isn't she just tired? I heard that some candidates were carried out of the examination room! It's so cold there, some people can't resist the cold. I saw that when she came back, she was not feeling unwell except tired. Let's wait a little longer and don't disturb her sleep."
Isn't this because he is afraid that the doctor will find out that Xiao Lang is a girl? Therefore, Jiang Fugui still wants to wait until Jiang Youzhen wakes up.
Jiang Youzhen slept until the next night. When she woke up, the room was dark. She opened her confused eyes and was unable to react for a while.
Fortunately, she can see clearly in the dark. This skill of hers is quite strange. Seeing at night is just like the night mode in her previous life. She can see clearly, but she can still distinguish between day and night.
Qing Lang was sleeping in the outer room. When he heard the noise in the room, he immediately woke up from the couch.
"Young Master, are you awake?" Qing Lang asked softly through the curtain outside.
The young master didn't like people barging in without notifying him when he was resting, and would get very angry, so the servants all knew this rule. After all, the young master looked easygoing on weekdays, but once he frowned, he was very majestic and made people dare not breathe.
"Hmm! What time is it?" Jiang Youzhen was still a little confused.
"It's already 11am. I asked the kitchen to prepare some hot water and food. Would you like some?"
"Then wash up first!"
Qing Lang's footsteps faded away, and Jiang Youzhen was about to put on her outer clothes and get up. Suddenly, she heard another breathing sound coming from inside the house. She quickly took out her sleeve arrows and shot two arrows at the roof above.
The man quickly dodged and saw an arrow flying towards his cheek. He couldn't help but say it was a close call and almost got disfigured.
"What are you doing? It's me!" A figure flipped over from above and shouted at Jiang Youzhen lying on the bed.
Jiang Youzhen recognized the other person's voice and couldn't help but snorted coldly with a gloomy face.
"I feel like the Second Prince seems to have been born into the wrong family. Why didn't he be born into one of those scoundrel families? Isn't it shameful to hide your head and show your tail? Why did he have to break into someone else's bedroom in the middle of the night? What was he thinking?"
Jiang Youzhen was a little angry. He had knocked on the window before, but now he came in while she was sleeping. If one day she was changing clothes and he came in like this, not only would her identity be discovered, but she would also be seen naked by him.
The second prince originally wanted to complain, but when he looked into Jiang Youzhen's watery and cold eyes, he was at a loss for words.
He rubbed his head, it seemed like it was really his fault. Before coming here, he just wanted to find Jiang Youzhen to tell him that his father was checking the examinee's papers recently, but he didn't expect Jiang Youzhen to still be asleep, and he came in.
Jiang Youzhen was about to leave when he suddenly woke up. Then Qing Lang came over and he couldn't leave for a while.
"I really didn't mean to do that. I just wanted to talk to you about something. Who knew you weren't awake?"
The second prince felt a little guilty, and seeing that Jiang Youzhen was still glaring at him, he couldn't help but soften his tone.
"Then next time I come, I will definitely knock on the window first. I won't come in without your permission." The second prince sat down at the round table and watched Jiang Youzhen put away the arrow from his sleeve before he breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Youzhen was speechless, "Can't you just come openly?"
"Then what do you mean by secret? Do you want people to know that we have close contacts? I don't mind. If you don't mind, then I will come during the day." The second prince spread his hands.
At this time, Jiang Youzhen had already lit the lamp. The Second Prince looked at Jiang Youzhen, who looked more graceful with her hair loose, and quickly looked away.
If Jiang Youzhen hadn't painted sword-like eyebrows and made her facial features more profound during the day, her identity as a woman would have been discovered.
"Your Highness, what's the matter that makes you so anxious?" Jiang Youzhen did not answer. Instead, he sat in front of the bronze mirror and began to tie his hair.
But she could do everything well, except for the ancient bun, which she could never do properly. In the past, Qinglang and Qingyan helped her.
It seems that we need to find a little girl to take care of her daily life. After all, Qinglang and the others are men, so it is still inconvenient.
The second prince saw that Jiang Youzhen had combed his hair roughly, and he felt like going forward to help. He held down his restless hand and looked away.
"Recently, the emperor has been looking through the candidates' files. Your file has been placed separately by the emperor. Maybe he has other plans."
Jiang Youzhen thought after hearing this, in fact, she is considered to be an account with the emperor, although her face is not familiar, but her name is familiar, right? It is normal to pay some attention to her.
"He may use you, but he may also have other plans. It's hard to guess what the emperor is thinking, so you better be careful!"
The second prince pondered and said, "However, father has been in a bad mood recently. I believe that the prophecy of the Heavenly Secret Stone has also had some impact on him. It is inevitable that he is a little anxious. If he wants to use you, then you should keep a low profile recently and keep your distance from the princes. Father hates people who are indecisive the most."
Jiang Youzhen was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the Second Prince could give her so much advice.
Compared to the Fourth Prince, the Second Prince has a bad temper, but he is still more open-minded.
