Chapter 379: Really Crazy
Princess Changsui sat there leisurely, "Sir, don't be nervous. What else can I do to you?"
Jiang Youzhen smiled. Actually, she was not afraid. After all, she had five years of internal strength training, which made her much stronger than those who only knew external martial arts such as fists and feet.
"What does the princess want to do?" Jiang Youzhen simply walked back to the table and sat down. She wanted to see what the princess wanted to do.
Princess Changsui was a little surprised to see Jiang Youzhen so calm.
She smiled and picked up the teapot from the table and poured a cup of tea for Jiang Youzhen. Jiang Youzhen did not refuse, but instead picked up the tea bowl and started to sip it.
"Young master, you are calm and composed. Aren't you afraid that there is something wrong with the tea?" Princess Changsui is now beginning to be unable to figure out this young man.
She had previously thought that Jiang Youzhen was inexperienced, smart but relatively simple. Now it seemed that this young man was completely unpredictable.
"The princess is so precious, why does she have to do this? She must still have the pride of a noble family." Jiang Youzhen was of course afraid! But could she show her fear? No!

"Your Highness, I just saw Young Master Jiang coming. He is at Luo Zhuxuan in front." Yuan Shang came back from the toilet and saw Jiang Youzhen going in.
He was deeply impressed by Jiang Youzhen and there was no way he was wrong.
"Jiang Youzhen?" The fourth prince was very confused. "Who is he with?"
"I only saw her. The person standing at the door seemed to be the chief steward of the Second Master of the Chen Family."
Chen Youde wanted to get close to the Fourth Prince, so he often came to the other courtyard. He would bring two people with him every time, and the steward was one of them.
"The Second Master of the Chen Family?" The Fourth Prince couldn't understand why the Second Master of the Chen Family was related to Jiang Youzhen.
"Go and ask the shopkeeper who is in Luo Zhu Xuan."
"Yes!" Yuan Shang took the order and went out.
The Fourth Prince lost to the Second Prince in the fundraising, and he felt very upset. The Second Prince had been doing things more and more properly these past two days, and even his father could not find any fault with him.
Especially this time, everyone in the court was waiting to see how the new policy of Tongzhou Prefecture's dock would get off to a good start. Now, the second emperor has been in the spotlight.
This also shows the appeal of the Second Prince, or he took it lightly.
From now on, he had to face up to his second brother. The second brother who was ignored by everyone and not favored by the court had already shown his brilliance since some time.
"Your Highness! We have done our best in fundraising. Although we are currently one step behind, it does not mean that we have lost. We still need to make careful arrangements. You have been in charge of the Ministry of Works before. It should be feasible for you to strive for a job in the Ministry of Works in front of the emperor."
Tong Huaian has a plan. The most important thing now is to take charge of the task of dock reform. After all, more than one Tongzhou Prefecture needs to build a new dock.
"I am sure of this, but given the current situation, I have no choice but to let others have a share."
The fourth prince still felt unwilling to give up, "Jiang Youzhen, how can we fight for it?"
Tong Huaian pondered for a moment and said, "Enough benefits, less calculations! Now she is not doing anything and focusing on her studies. There is still a long way to go, so let's wait until she enters the officialdom!"
The fourth prince nodded, "But from now on, you should spend more time on her."
Tong Huaian agreed that Jiang Youzhen must be won over.
"Your Highness, I found out!" Yuan Shang rushed back, but his expression was a little strange.
"What do you mean?" the Fourth Prince asked curiously.
"The second master of the Chen family is not here, but Princess Changsui is here."
"Who? Princess Changsui?" The Fourth Prince's expression also became strange.
"Yes! I'm in the private room now." Yuan Shang nodded.
"Your Highness, this time Princess Changsui stood on the side of the Second Prince. That Liu family raised so much money and played a decisive role in the fundraising."
Tong Huaian was thoughtful and began to analyze, "If Jiang Youzhen is familiar with Princess Changsui, then it means that Jiang Youzhen and the Second Prince cooperated in this fundraising, and Liu's return to the Chen family is also related to Jiang Youzhen."
The more Tong Huaian thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was right. Liu's return to the Chen family was probably due to Jiang Youzhen's help through Princess Changsui, and the condition of the exchange was that Jiang Youzhen and Liu cooperated.
Because at that time Liu was confident in bidding the price and had also rented four shops.
Although the Chen family is wealthy, they would not spend so recklessly.
The fourth prince nodded deeply, "Your analysis is correct, but..."
Seeing that the Fourth Prince was hesitant to speak, Tong Huaian asked doubtfully, "Just what?"
"Ahem? It's nothing. Since my cousin is here, why don't we go join in the fun?"
Some things cannot be said openly, after all, they affect the reputation of the Empress Dowager's family.
At that time, Princess Changsui's eyes were not concealed, but people who didn't know her would not think wrongly. After all, the princess was about the same age as Jiang Youzhen's mother, and she was also a noble lady from an aristocratic family. Who would think so much?
But the Fourth Prince, who already understood the princess's character, found it unbelievable to know the past of his cousin.
Tong Huaian didn't know much about Princess Changsui. When he saw the fourth prince hesitate to speak and look strange, he felt something was wrong.
"What do you think?" Princess Changsui looked at Jiang Youzhen, but found that she had already been daydreaming.
Jiang Youzhen came back to his senses and asked, "What do you think?"
Princess Changsui's face suddenly darkened. It turned out that Jiang Youzhen didn't hear a word she said for a long time.
"This princess is asking you if you are willing to follow me. I can guarantee you a lifetime of wealth and glory."
However, Jiang Youzhen stared at the door. Why didn't he come? Did he see it wrongly? Was that person not Yuan Shang?
"May I ask if Princess Changsui is inside? I am Yuan Shang, the steward of the Fourth Master." A voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Here it comes! Jiang Youzhen couldn't help but curl his lips, the movements were really slow.
Princess Changsui snorted coldly, "You are lucky, but you can't escape the fifteenth day. If this princess wants something, she must get it by any means."
Jiang Youzhen: ...It's really crazy.
The door was opened, and the moment the Fourth Prince and Tong Huaian appeared at the door, Jiang Youzhen had never felt these two faces so familiar.
"Jiang Youzhen!" When the Fourth Prince saw Jiang Youzhen for the first time, he looked her up and down, then heaved a sigh of relief.
"Greetings, Your Highness!" Jiang Youzhen nodded with a smile, and then nodded to Tong Huaian.
"Brother Huai'an!"
Her gaze turned to Yuan Shang behind them. She had seen Yuan Shang when she came just now, and she knew that the Fourth Prince must be here.
Her bet was that the Fourth Prince would definitely come. If he didn't come, she would really resort to violence.
"Aunt! The fundraising has ended in the past few days. The Empress Dowager has sent a letter urging us to do so. Why don't we set off for Beijing tomorrow?"
The Fourth Prince's eyes were full of warnings, telling his cousin not to cause him any trouble, as he was already busy enough.
Jiang Youzhen is a rare talent, and he doesn't want him to be ruined in her hands.
