Chapter 386: Sudden emergency, stroke
Jiang Youzhen had no idea about the turmoil on Qian Chongen's side. She and Jiang Fugui were actively preparing for the apprenticeship ceremony in two days.
"We don't have many close relatives in the capital, so although we don't hold big banquets, the gift of apprenticeship must be grand. Pick out two good items from your treasures of gold and jade. I heard that scholars also like pens, inkstones, paper, and inkstones, so don't be stingy if you have good ones."
Jiang Fugui took out a silver note of 100 taels from his pocket and slapped it on the table, "Dad has silver, I'll make it up to you."
Shen rolled her eyes at him. "You think you can buy a lot of good things with your one hundred taels? The gold, jade, and porcelain in my hand are all worth more than one hundred taels. The little you have earned from your land is only worth a few hundred taels. I don't even care about that."
Jiang Fugui felt a little embarrassed by Shen's merciless ridicule, "Those things are so expensive when they are not worth eating or wearing."
Jiang Youzhen couldn't help laughing, and immediately stepped forward and stuffed the hundred taels of silver into his arms.
"Dad gave it to me, so I'll take it."
The people in the room were immediately happy, and Jiang Fugui was particularly satisfied. Finally, his daughter no longer had to support the family, and he, as a father, could also earn money to support the family.
Jiang Youzhen was happily preparing, but he didn't know that Qian Chongen and his wife had a fierce argument the night before.
"Why are you so stubborn? What's wrong with the Fourth Prince? He likes Jiang Youzhen because Jiang Youzhen is capable. You said you want to get out, but have you ever thought about what if you don't win next year? Then you have to wait another three years?"
Kong looked at Qian Chongen with disappointment, her eyes full of anxiety.
"Ruru is already thirteen, can she wait another three years? If you become the county magistrate, then Ru'er will be the daughter of an official, and the family she is talking about must be of equal status, so it will be easier to marry her than the daughter of a teacher, right?"
Qian Chongen looked at his wife with disappointment, "It turns out that I never saw you clearly. For the sake of a county magistrate's position, you asked me to be a shameless villain. You asked me to tell Jiang Youzhen, then who would I be? What would he think of me?"
He didn't understand. Kong was not unaware of his situation at the time. They had supported each other and lived a harmonious life for so many years.
But now, it is just the position of a county magistrate, but it makes Kong so unfamiliar.
"Master, don't you really consider Ru'er? I don't care what happens to me, but what about Ru'er? Of course I have to consider her." Kong's eyes were full of pleading.
"You can't trade Jiang Youzhen's second half of life for it. Such a mean act is despicable. What's more, Jiang Youzhen is very opinionated. She only worshipped me as her teacher because I took care of her in the past, not because she really admired my knowledge.
If I bring it up, she may not agree, and I will be humiliating myself and making enemies with her."
Qian Chongen was self-aware. After he understood Jiang Youzhen's intentions, he still insisted on accepting Jiang Youzhen as his apprentice. It was naturally for the sake of his daughter.
"Why not give it a try? Once a teacher, always a father. I don't believe she can object if you bring it up." Kong said with a cold face.
"You! You are simply stubborn. I absolutely do not agree. You'd better give up this idea as soon as possible." Qian Chongen was so angry that he threw his sleeves and left.
The next day, Jiang Youzhen invited several classmates and students such as Wen Ruyu to watch the ceremony. She dressed up early in the morning and went to the main room.
"Hey? My grandson is so cute!"
He looked at the sandalwood-colored robe with a stand-up collar and right lapel. The collar and cuffs were trimmed with maroon lace, which made Jiang Youzhen's skin look as white as jade and his appearance was stunning.
I don't know how this kid grows up, he gets prettier and prettier. Jiang Fugui and his wife are also good-looking, but Jiang Youzhen is completely celestial, which is really puzzling.
"My son is so happy today!" Shen was also very satisfied. He was truly a handsome young man.
San Ya said teasingly at this time: "My appearance doesn't even look like a real person. I don't know how he grew up."
She was puzzled. They were born to the same parents, so why were there such big differences?
Jiang Youzhen is so sorry, this is a life full of cheats! But you don’t have it.
When we arrived at the front yard, Wen Ruyu and the others had already arrived.
"Xiao Lang!" Wen Ruyu's eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Youzhen.
He just felt that Jiang Youzhen should wear such bright clothes. His eyebrows and eyes were more gorgeous than usual, which made him look dazzling.
"Master! Master Tong sent someone to deliver a gift."
At this time Qingyan walked in with a gift list in her hand.
Jiang Youzhen took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but be shocked by Tong Huaian's gift list. In addition to the four treasures of the study, there were also porcelain and jade ornaments.
From top to bottom, there were about twenty items. However, Jiang Youzhen found that some of the items on the gift list had the words "Fourth Master" marked next to them.
It seemed to be a joint gift list of the Fourth Prince and Tong Huaian. She couldn't help but sigh. These two people were so polite. Even though they couldn't come to the capital, they still prepared such expensive gifts.
But they were so powerful that people as far away as the capital knew that she wanted to become their disciple.
"Young Master, a man who looks like a manager has brought a gift list." Qing Lang also came over and handed it to Jiang Youzhen.
When Jiang Youzhen opened it, he found another long row of things. The items were similar, but this time they were given by the second prince.
It’s not good to owe too many favors to others, so Jiang Youzhen plans to find an opportunity to repay them in the future.
"It's almost time, let's go!"
Jiang Fugui felt that the time was almost up and was about to urge Jiang Youzhen to go to the Qian family's house.
However, the next moment, a steward ran over.
"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang..." The steward took deep breaths and couldn't even finish a sentence.
"What's going on? Aren't you the manager of the Qian family? What's wrong?"
When Jiang Youzhen saw Manager Qin, he immediately had a bad feeling.
"Master Jiang, this is bad, this is bad!"
"What's going on? Tell me!" Shen was anxious and urged.
"Master Jiang, my master has a sudden emergency today and is now unconscious."
"What? What happened?" Everyone was shocked and asked in unison.
"We just called a doctor, but he suddenly had a stroke and was completely unprepared!" Manager Qin was so anxious that he slapped his thigh and almost cried.
Jiang Youzhen's heart sank to the bottom. She took a deep breath and said, "Follow me and rush to Qian's house immediately."
Everyone was stunned for a moment. It was really shocking that such a big thing happened at this critical moment.
"Hurry! Find a few more doctors to take a look." Jiang Fugui was very anxious and wanted to follow Jiang Youzhen.
"Let's go together." Shen also followed.
"Everyone! I'm sorry, this is an emergency. Please go back first. I will come to your house to apologize one by one later."
Jiang Youzhen bowed to everyone and called them here to give an explanation.
"Junior brother, go quickly. We are all family and we won't bother with you." Wen Ruyu urged hurriedly.
"Yes! Let's go and have a look!" Everyone expressed their understanding.
"My parents are going with me, and my third sister and grandparents are staying behind to look after the house. It's not good for too many people to go."
Jiang Youzhen told Qinglang to drive the carriage quickly and jumped on in one step.
