Chapter 30: The Jade Man
In Jiang Chuanxiong's eyes, Shangguan Che doesn't seem to live in the same world as everyone, so even if he works in the same cabinet, Jiang Chuanxiong doesn't know much about him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Shangguan Che entered the cabinet two years ago with a second-place finish in the qualifying tournament for the top strategists.
After the results of the competition were announced, the emperor held a celebration banquet for the new members of the cabinet and the strategist group in the palace, and at the celebration banquet, Jiang Chuanxiong met Shangguan Che for the first time.
At that time, Shangguan Che was in his early twenties, his clothes were better than snow, his aura was extraordinary, and his facial features were more like jade carvings, delicate and elegant, so no matter how handsome and elegant a man stood beside him, he would look too rough. At that time, Jiang Chuanxiong thought in his heart - this person is really as elegant and handsome as his name, and he is clear and jade.
Later, Jiang Chuanxiong learned that he was the eldest son of the late Cabinet University Scholar Shangguan Qing.
At that time, Shangguan Qing had been an ancient man for fifteen years. Since Shangguan Qing's death, Shangguan Che and his younger brother have been raised by their mother. Shangguan Che's younger brother fell seriously ill at the age of twelve and died soon after. After that, Shangguan Che and his mother depended on each other.
When Shangguan Qing was alive, he was famous in the capital for his elegant taste. It is said that every spoon and scoop, table and chair in his house are both functional and beautiful, so his home is like an art museum, revealing elegant style everywhere.
This man of good taste also knows how to save money and save money, so he has already accumulated a sum of savings at a young age. Shangguan Che and his mother were able to live without worrying about food and clothing because of the savings he left.
But after all, the savings are very limited, so the mother and son lived quite poorly in those years.
However, since Shangguan Che entered the cabinet two years ago, the Shangguan family's family situation has gradually improved again.
After all, Shangguan Che is both a top strategist and a cabinet member, so he can get double salaries.
At the beginning of this year, Jiang Chuanxiong heard that Shangguan Che had taken out a sum of money to renovate the house.
It can be seen that Shangguan Che is also as tasteful as his father.
But what is even more commendable is Shangguan Che's political foresight. This man seems to be detached, but in fact he is very concerned about political affairs, and every time he speaks his opinions are profound and powerful, to the point, so that in the past two years, many of his suggestions have been adopted by the former emperor and the present emperor.
However, he was also a man who always kept a certain distance from others, and he was full of mystery, and Jiang Chuanxiong felt that he was unlikely to be willing to become a tutor at a home school.
"Why did Master Gong say that?" Jiang Chuanxiong asked.
"With the understanding of him in the next two years. Gong Chaoju replied with a smile, and then he said: "I have a good relationship with him in private." ”
"Does he like to interact with children?" Jiang Chuanxiong asked again.
"Well, every time he sees a child, his eyes light up. Gong Chaoju nodded.
Jiang Chuanxiong was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Can Master Gong go to Shangguan's house with me?"
Gong Chaoju said briskly: "Of course." ”
The two immediately went out the door.
Shangguan Che's home is located at the intersection of the city and the suburbs, backed by high mountains and facing the great lake, with a beautiful environment and a wide view.
"There are green mountains in the distance, and green water in the near distance, which is a rare treasure of feng shui!" Gong Chaoju told Jiang Chuanxiong.
Because he often had private contacts with Shangguan Che, he was familiar with the environment here.
Jiang Chuanxiong had heard that the Shangguan family had lived here for nine generations, and now that he had come to the scene, he felt that this place was very suitable for people to live in, so he nodded and said, "This place is indeed very good. ”
Shangguan Che, who was reading a book under the lamp, was quite surprised to learn that the cabinet chief assistant had come to visit in person, but he quickly regained his composure and immediately changed into a more formal outfit and went out to greet him.
It was dark and cloudy, and Jiang Chuanxiong could only see things within a few zhang, but when Shangguan Che walked out of the gate, Jiang Chuanxiong saw it at a glance.
is still better than snow, ice and jade, like a jade person.
Although Jiang Chuanxiong is also a man, when he sees him, he also feels like a spring breeze, and his heart can't help but move, and then he tightens.
Would a son like Shangguan Che, who seemed to be excessively noble, really want to be a tutor at a home school? Jiang Chuanxiong doubted this again.
Besides, with the above official Che's current salary, there is no need to find another job to increase his income.
Jiang Chuanxiong was a little apprehensive, but when he thought that Gong Chaoju, who was Shangguan Che's friend, also thought that Shangguan Che was suitable, he faintly had some hope.
Jiang Chuanxiong's gaze at Shangguan Che was more cordial than before.
After saluting, Shangguan Che invited Jiang Chuanxiong and Gong Chaoju into the house.
This person is really interesting, even if he is the head of the cabinet, he does not show a trace of flattery in his words and deeds.
He made Jiang Chuanxiong feel comfortable like this, and he hoped more and more that he could agree to be Jiang Yuetang's teacher.
At this time, not only the house, but also the garden was lit up, and the whole house was brightly lit.
Jiang Chuanxiong walked and looked, but saw that there were large patches of flowers planted in the courtyard, there was a small pond full of lotus flowers on the left side, and on the right side of the small pond, there was a small bridge made of wooden planks, and a quaint pavilion was faintly visible at the end of the small bridge.
Small bridges, flowing water, people, poetic without losing the warmth of home.
Jiang Chuanxiong secretly darkened his jaw.
Shangguan Che smiled and led them into the living room.
The living room table is already lined with fresh fruits, delicate pastries and fragrant teas. The jade and ceramic ornaments on the Duobao Pavilion are all clean and clean, and they are not clean. There are also a few newly picked crape myrtles, hibiscus and magnolias on the Ru kiln flower goblet on the table, the floral fragrance is elegant, mixed with the sandalwood burning on the side, which makes people feel inexplicably quiet.
Jiang Chuanxiong couldn't help but sigh secretly: "The taste of life is different!"
When they came in, two maids, dressed in plain clothes and clever appearance, immediately blessed them.
After a few sips of tea, Jiang Chuanxiong explained his intention to Shangguan Che.
After explaining his intentions, Jiang Chuanxiong closely observed Shangguan Che's reaction.
He was genuinely worried that he would refuse.
Shangguan Che was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled slightly.
Indeed, with his high-minded, noble and recalcitrant temperament, it is unlikely that he would be willing to be a tutor, but if the other party is Jiang Chuanxiong's little son, he is willing, because he had heard earlier that Jiang Yueting could memorize more than 20 poems in one breath at the age of three, understand 3,000 Chinese characters at the age of four, and write and read at the age of five.
Moreover, on his birthday today, he had seen "Jiang Yueting" from afar, and at that time he had an inexplicable good impression of this little baby, and softly said to Gong Chaoju standing beside him: "The little son of Master Jiang's family is so cute!"
Of course, he didn't know that what he saw at that time was Jiang Yuetang.
Gong Chaoju's eyes lit up when he said this, so he quipped: "It is said that people who meet the eye are usually very close in life, maybe you and him will have a lot of intersections in the future." ”
Gong Chaoju also dared to guess that Shangguan Che would be willing to be Jiang Yuetang's teacher because of this incident.
Seeing that Shangguan Che was just smiling and did not indicate whether he was willing or not, Jiang Chuanxiong was a little panicked, and hurriedly said: "My dog still loves to learn, and she is good at using her brain, as long as you are willing to teach, I believe she will not let you down." You don't have to be polite about the salary, although you want it to be as much as you want. ”
Shangguan Che smiled slightly again and said, "Since Lord Jiang is so worthy of being below, it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate." ”
Jiang Chuanxiong was overjoyed, hurriedly thanked him, and said, "Then does Lord Shangguan want her to come to study in person or will you come to our house to teach?"
"After all, 'he' is still too young, and you must be worried about running around like this, so let's teach it yourself. Shangguan Che said.
"Thank you, I'll send a carriage to pick you up from the cabinet every afternoon. I'll add another one to the salary. Jiang Chuanxiong hurriedly said.
Shangguan Che smiled and said, "Lord Jiang doesn't have to be polite, it is also an honor to be able to teach Lord Jiang's little son." ”
In this way, the two of them said that Jiang Chuanxiong would bring Guan Che home to meet Jiang Yuetang after the next day, so that they could get to know each other first, and the formal lecture would start in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow.
