Chapter 241 Your Highness, take care
"Isn't it obvious? Can't Your Highness see it? Then you must take good care of yourself! Your eyesight will get worse as you get older." Jiang Youzhen felt that the Second Prince was not as cold-blooded as the rumors said, so he spoke more casually than before.
There's no way around it. People just like to push for more and test other people's bottom line step by step.
Zhou Hai rolled his eyes. Is it necessary to be so indulgent? Doesn't His Highness think that he is too doting on Jiang Youzhen? He, who grew up with him, has never been treated this way.
"Hmph! You're quite sharp-tongued, but I hope you can remain so tough when you're attacked next time."
The second prince took out the note and read it, then stood up quickly, "Zhou Hai, go to the capital city immediately."
"Yes!"
Jiang Youzhen curled his lips, picked up the brocade box on the table, and received another 30,000 taels of silver, feeling extremely happy.
Just as I was about to leave, a tall and strong man suddenly came in from outside.
"Master Jiang, my name is Qiu Zhong. I will be responsible for your safety until this case is resolved."
Ouch! Is this another replacement? But this person looks more reliable than Chen Yi, very stable.
"Then it'll be hard work."
"Master, you are too kind. This is my duty. From today on, I will stay with you all the time. I hope you don't mind. This is really a helpless move."
Jiang Youzhen nodded. She was still afraid of death!
He hurried to the old place to find Asan, and sure enough, Asan was already there, looking around. When he saw Jiang Youzhen coming, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He trotted over, only to see the unfamiliar Qiu Zhong following Jiang Youzhen. Why did someone else change?
Qiu Zhong had already stepped forward and stood in front of Jiang Youzhen. His action made Jiang Youzhen very satisfied. He was much more reliable than Chen Yi before, and at least he was conscientious and responsible.
"Manager Qiu, this is my good friend." Jiang Youzhen hurriedly stopped Qiu Zhong who was glaring at Asan.
"Third brother, have you heard any news?"
Ah San nodded and looked at Qiu Zhong fearfully, "I found out!"
"Let's go! To the teahouse in front!" Jiang Youzhen pulled Ah San to the teahouse, but he was stopped by the shopkeeper as soon as he stepped into the teahouse.
"Eh? But you, Ah San? Our teahouse is not closed yet! Get out now and don't disturb our guests."
The shopkeeper pointed at Ah San behind Jiang Youzhen. He always looked down on these little beggars, but the beggars were very united and he didn't want to cause trouble and affect his business.
"What? You open your teahouse for business, but you're still selective about your customers? I brought your third brother here, so can he come in?" Jiang Youzhen took out a five-liang silver ingot from his purse and threw it over.
As soon as the shopkeeper received the silver, he immediately put on a flattering smile. As long as there was silver, how could he not do business?
"What are you talking about, sir? If I had known that he was coming with you, I wouldn't have dared to stop him even if I killed you! Should I prepare a private room for you?"
It's obvious that this young man is of distinguished status, and the guards behind him are not easy to deal with. The shopkeeper has some good eyesight.
When Ah San saw Jiang Youzhen standing up for him, he was happy but also a little sad. It seemed that Jiang Youzhen was getting further and further away from him, and he was no longer qualified to stand by her side.
Jiang Youzhen brought Asan to the private room and immediately asked about his future brother-in-law.
"I asked someone to find out. He Shulin is actually studying in a private school in town. I heard that he is a good student. He is also fair-skinned and handsome, but his family is a little poor. His parents are old and have high hopes for him. He has an older sister who is married, not far away, and often comes back to help support the family."
Hearing this, Jiang Youzhen frowned. Being poor was nothing, but she didn't like the fact that she had a son in her old age and her sister was like a brother-worshiping demon.
But all this is just hearsay. You have to meet someone to know his character.
"Which private school?" Jiang Youzhen pondered.
"It's in the east of the town. The master's surname is Liu. He is very old and highly respected."
I heard that He Shulin is 18 years old this year, one year older than my second sister. He is very diligent in his studies, which is what my parents have heard, but I don't know what kind of person he is.
Jiang Youzhen suddenly thought of Huang Xuening. Maybe he could know? He knew a lot about the town, and He Shulin was a scholar, so he should ask him tomorrow.
"His parents are still in good health, but they are old and can barely take care of the three acres of land at home."
"Does he help with the family work during farming?" Jiang Youzhen thought that since his parents could no longer work, you would definitely be a bad person if you just stood there and watched.
"That's not clear, I didn't ask in such detail. I'll ask you tomorrow and ask for more details." Asan touched the back of his head. How could he have thought of this?
"Forget it! I'll find a way to meet him myself. You don't have to ask about this matter anymore." Jiang Youzhen said as he was about to leave, and Asan stood up to see him off.
"By the way, Dad has been asking you recently when you will go to see him, saying that he hasn't seen you for a long time." Asan looked at Jiang Youzhen's back and suddenly felt reluctant to let him go.
"Are you craving for wine? Wait until I take a break! I've been very busy these days." Jiang Youzhen has no time to go to the embroidery shop now, and his life has been threatened recently, so he'd better not run around.
The next day, when Jiang Youzhen arrived at the private school, he saw Wen Ruyu walking in with a happy look on her face.
"Junior brother!" Wen Ruyu rarely showed his joy. Jiang Youzhen guessed that his visit to the bookstore owner yesterday had yielded good results.
"I showed the storybook to the shopkeeper, and he was very interested. He said we could sell it in the shop. Since we were planning to print it ourselves, I discussed it with Junior Brother Huang and decided to give the shopkeeper 20% of the profit."
Jiang Youzhen nodded, "This price is fair. After all, we still need the shopkeeper to help us sell it. He doesn't have to pay for the cost, so 20% is pretty good."
She didn't care about it. As she had just received 50,000 taels of silver yesterday, she didn't care about the money at all.
"Junior Brother Huang has already asked the family shop to start typeset printing. The words are not a big deal, and the typesetting will be quick. But the illustrations need engraving, so it will take some time."
Wen Ruyu was eager to earn money right now. His parents at home were seriously ill and he was very worried.
"Then print the ones without illustrations first, which will be cheaper. Then add illustrations and sell them at a higher price." Jiang Youzhen understood Wen Ruyu's eagerness to make money.
Wen Ruyu's eyes lit up. "You and Junior Brother Huang have the same opinion. You are indeed a natural businessman."
He sincerely admired that Huang Xue Ning had learned a lot of business skills from her family. It was said that Jiang Youzhen's family was poor before. If it weren't for her own ability, how could she have such a good life now? She really has a talent for everything.
"But if this is the case, I'm afraid they won't buy the books with illustrations later." Wen Ruyu couldn't help but feel worried when he thought about it.
