Chapter 250: Another Spring
Tong Huaian was very concerned about this. In his mind, Jiang Youzhen and the second prince should have just met recently, so why did he trust him so much?
"In the end, you still have to give it to him, right? After all, you have to make an exchange! If I give it to him personally, I can get a lot of money back."
Jiang Youzhen sighed. In fact, she felt a little guilty facing Tong Huaian, but saving her life and money were both important.
"Are you so short of money? If you are short of money, then withdraw it from your account. You can get the money for opening the restaurant from me first."
He saw that Jiang Youzhen's daily food and clothing were not shabby, just slightly worse than his. However, Jiang Youzhen was so obsessed with money, as if he was obsessed with money.
"Brother Huai'an, you have never been poor, so of course you don't understand this feeling. Once people have something, they will be afraid of losing it. I can live on my own, but my family can't live a hard life. This is my fault. I was selfish."
Jiang Youzhen apologized immediately. In fact, Tong Huaian had always taken good care of her, and she was of course grateful. But gratitude could not make her give everything. It was just a small favor, and she thought she could handle it clearly.
Tong Huaian was speechless. He had indeed never been poor. Even though he came to this remote and poor place, he still lived a life of luxury.
But Jiang Youzhen is different. Maybe he was really tired of the days when he was not warm enough and had enough food to eat?
"I also want to advise Brother Huai'an that the Second Prince is very shrewd. He said he would tell you the whereabouts of the military pay, but maybe he is using a knife to kill someone, or he may have other conspiracies."
Out of a sense of guilt, Jiang Youzhen reminded him.
Tong Huai'an immediately felt better, as if everything in front of him suddenly became clear, and his chest was no longer stuffy and he was no longer short of breath.
"Why do you say that? Did you hear something? Otherwise, how can you say that you are killing someone with a borrowed knife?"
"Based on the Second Prince's personality, I don't think the matter is that simple. Either he doesn't want the military pay to fall into the hands of the other party, and wants to use you to muddy the waters. By then, it's not certain who will get the military pay!
As for other thoughts, I am not sure, maybe he wants to bring up other issues."
Tong Huaian was shocked, but after he lowered his head and thought about it carefully, he felt that Jiang Youzhen's words made sense.
"The military pay case was originally supervised by the Fourth Prince a few years ago. Things were going smoothly and it looked like a great success, but who knew someone leaked the news and moved the fake silver. Even the workshop that made the fake silver was deserted. Something went wrong and the court lost hundreds of thousands of taels."
Jiang Youzhen glanced at Tong Huaian, who was explaining what happened with a serious face, and couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Should I listen? Or should I listen? You are telling me such secrets of the imperial court? You really don't treat me as an outsider!
"Although the corrupt officials who enriched themselves have been completely purged by the imperial court, the whereabouts of the military pay cannot be tracked. In addition, the fake silver produced by the workshops is very realistic in weight and appearance. Even if you weigh it, the difference is almost the same."
"Oh! So those who made the fake silver haven't been caught yet?"
Tong Huaian shook his head, "So the Second Prince won this time. The Fourth Prince gave up the iron ore case because of the information he had."
"Then he probably said half of it and hid the other half. What he is best at is sitting on the mountain and watching tigers fight! Judging from his previous appearances."
As soon as Jiang Youzhen finished speaking, she saw Tong Huaian looking at her with strange eyes, "You know him well? It seems like you have known him for a long time."
That was indeed a long time. After all, the second prince appeared quite a few times when she was reading the book.
"No, I just think he doesn't need to make an exchange with you. In fact, as long as he gets the things from me, he can deal with you all the way to the capital with his ability. There is no need to use this exchange."
Tong Huaian was now very shocked by Jiang Youzhen's transformation. The aura of the young man in front of him had completely changed.
"Xiao Lang, you really don't want to consider helping me? I will certainly treat you well, and you will rise to prominence in the future, and wealth and glory will be within your reach."
Jiang Youzhen laughed when he heard this, which made Tong Huaian frown.
"Why are you laughing?" Tong Huaian was speechless. He always felt that sometimes he was just kicking cotton. This kid knew how to make people angry.
"Sorry! I just remembered that someone had promised me this before, but I still want to say that it is better to be more practical than to make an illusory promise."
Jiang Youzhen thought that what these two people said were similar. Who would agree to such a dry recruitment?
"Who? Could it be the second prince?" Tong Huaian couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.
"I guess so!" The carriage just stopped. "We are home now. I hope Brother Huai'an can consider my suggestion carefully."
Considering their friendship, Jiang Youzhen decided to stop at the right time. Alas! It's not easy to be a balance, especially when both sides are big shots.
Looking at Jiang Youzhen's tall but thin back, Tong Huaian lowered the curtain thoughtfully.
Jiang Youzhen is even smarter than he thought, he is a natural born politician. When the imperial examination is over, he will enter the court sooner or later.
But this guy has a stubborn personality, and once he gets tough, he won't give in to any push or force!
However, he did not expect that the Second Prince would want to recruit him.
No, even if Jiang Youzhen does not join his own camp, he cannot join the other camp.
Dayun Chaochengming twenty-five years
A year later, Jiang Youzhen has been in this dynasty for more than two years. Recalling the predicament she faced when she first crossed over, she couldn't help but smile.
"It's so cold, and you're wearing so little and standing in the corridor. Be careful not to catch a cold." As soon as Shen walked into Jiang Youzhen's room, she saw Jiang Youzhen leaning against the window admiring the snow scenery, and couldn't help but complain.
"It's okay. You can only see such beautiful scenery when it snows." Jiang Youzhen was looking at the red plum tree in the yard.
Because Jiang Youzhen likes plum blossoms, Jiang Fugui moved two plum trees from somewhere last year.
"You! You should take care of yourself, don't let that happen..." Shen suddenly paused.
Seeing that Jiang Youzhen had already closed the doors and windows, she said worriedly, "Xiao Lang, are you really going? Have you really thought it through?"
Jiang Youzhen nodded and smiled helplessly, "Mom! You ask me this several times every day, aren't you tired?"
It was the end of January, and the county examination was coming up soon. Jiang Youzhen had already asked a teacher to be his guarantor, and planned to sign in at the Imperial Examination Hall.
"But what about your identity?" Shen was a little anxious. How could she dissuade her daughter from having such an idea?
It's fine if she just studies! It's a good thing for a girl to study and learn about things, but she has too many ideas and actually wants to take the imperial examination?
"Mom! Don't worry, I have my own plan." Jiang Youzhen was still worried before, but since the system that pretended to be dead suddenly released tasks and rewards, Jiang Youzhen suddenly became more confident.
