Chapter 114: The Old Man
After going to the study room and getting out of school, the second prince went to the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Jia Baoyu decided to go to Ye Mansion first and complete the things explained by the second prince.
When she was riding in a sedan chair, she ran into Yunni, Jia Baoyu greeted her, and the little girl ignored him, snorted and left.
When he came to Ye Mansion, Ye Qiong was not in the mansion, he was received by Ye Hao.
After a long day of tea talk with him in Ye Hao's small study, Ye Qiong came back from the palace, and then met Jia Baoyu.
After a brief chat, Jia Baoyu euphemistically expressed the second prince's intentions, to Jia Baoyu's surprise, Ye Qiong was not angry, and he was not even surprised.
"Jing Hao has more talent and less experience, so he only acts on his own judgment, and he is extremely insistent on what he believes, and on the contrary, he is easy to be indecisive. This can't be regarded as a disadvantage, but if you don't have the assistance of powerful and virtuous people around you, I'm afraid it will be very easy to be interfered with......
It's just a good thing for him to let him go out to feel the hardships of the people's livelihood and experience the unpredictability of people's hearts. ”
Ye Qiong said.
Jia Baoyu suddenly felt respect.
Just listening to Ye Qiong's words, he knew how much work Ye Qiong had spent on the second prince.
Ye Qiong saw Jia Baoyu nodding and listening, and suddenly suggested: "If you can, I hope Ziheng can go with Jing Hao on this trip." ”
Jia Baoyu's face moved, and said: "Now the family is busy building a garden for the mother's mother, my father is old, and I am at home, I can still deal with one or two in the middle, but I am afraid that I dare not travel far away." ”
Ye Qiong was suddenly dissatisfied: "Although the concubine's provincial relatives are also a big deal, compared to the livelihood of the people in the world, compared to the life and death of 100,000 disaster victims, which is more important, Ziheng can't tell the difference?" ”
It is not a big deal for the concubine to save her relatives, and it is estimated that this kind of thing is something like Ye Qiong dares to say easily.
"The students are taught, but I am afraid that His Highness has no intention of taking the students there."
In fact, why doesn't Jia Baoyu want to establish a career like the second prince? He dreamed of it.
But some of the credits are too great, and they are still hot, and with his current foundation, he may not be able to take it.
So he is in no hurry to present himself.
He has already made a very good start, as long as he is steady and steady, why worry about not having the opportunity to make contributions in the future?
"You don't have to worry about this, I will advise the imperial court to let you work with Ye Hao to be the supervisor in charge of escorting the grain for this disaster relief, this is also an experience for you, you must cherish it and be cautious."
Jia Baoyu immediately thanked him.
Ye Qiong can be regarded as cultivating him intentionally.
What is called experience and experience, I have seen a lot of big scenes.
Such a 100,000 disaster relief scene, even if you look at it, can be regarded as an opportunity to broaden your horizons.
For young people, such an opportunity is a rare opportunity.
After saying the matter, Ye Qiong left Jia Baoyu to eat, and Jia Baoyu excused herself.
Farewell to Ye Qiong when she went out, and when she passed in front of the Yi door, she happened to meet Ye Zhenzhen walking over with a maid.
"Sister." Ye Hao called.
"Grandpa is still in the study?"
"Yes."
Ye Zhenzhen nodded and glanced at Jia Baoyu.
"Miss Ye......" Jia Baoyu bowed down to her, and Ye Zhenzhen also returned the favor.
"Stay."
Jia Baoyu bowed to Ye Hao again.
It's not the first time he's entered the Ye Mansion, and he's already familiar with the Ye Mansion, so he doesn't need Ye Hao to send him out every time, it's too polite and polite.
Out of the gate of Yefu, Jia Baoyu glanced back, still involuntarily remembering the slim and tall figure before.
Shook his head.
Ye Qiong's intentions, he had naturally understood them for a few months.
However......
That's it, the first talented woman in the capital, beauty is beautiful, but it is not something he is blessed with.
It's not just because of the second prince.
Instead, he already has Daiyu and loves Baochai, these two daughters are already the best in the world, and one life is enough.
But he wanted to be the queen of E, and he had both fish and bear's paws, and he was already very cautious, and there was really no way to get involved in the Ye family again.
At this time, in the small living room of Ye Qiong's study, Ye Hao and Ye Zhenzhen asked Ye Qiong for peace.
Ye Qiong asked the two to sit down and asked, "Ziheng is gone?" ”
"Hmm."
Ye Qiong paused and said, "I'm going to talk to Ziheng's father, Jia Cunzhou, about your sister's affairs during this time." ”
As soon as these words came out, Ye Hao suddenly smiled and congratulated Ye Zhenzhen.
Ye Zhenzhen glared at him, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly got up and said, "Grandpa, I don't think he seems to be too willing, why should our family be strong?" ”
Ye Qiong has been talking to her about this for half a year, and now that it is the last moment, she can't care about her daughter's shyness, and bluntly express her judgment.
Ye Qiong frowned.
In his heart, his granddaughter Ye Zhenzhen is the best woman in the world, only she looks down on other people's opinions, and no son in the world will look down on her.
However, after all, he is a person who has practiced well, and if he thinks about it carefully, it seems that Ye Zhenzhen's judgment is not wrong.
If an ordinary man has the opportunity to go to Ye Mansion, who doesn't want to take the opportunity to stay more time and brush up on his presence in front of him.
But Jia Baoyu doesn't seem to be at all, every time he goes to the house with the second prince, he is always very regular.
If Jia Baoyu has the intention in his heart, then no matter whether he is deep in the city government or abides by the rules of etiquette, after a long time, there will always be some flaws.
However, from beginning to end, Jia Baoyu did not.
Ye Qiong was silent, and Ye Zhenzhen had nothing to say, and suddenly Ye Hao interjected: "Could it be because of the second prince's cousin?" Ziheng is a benevolent and righteous gentleman, and he has always been by his cousin's side, if his cousin says something to him, Ziheng has to take care of his cousin's side. ”
The second prince likes Ye Zhenzhen, and the Ye family doesn't know it.
Ye Qiong nodded: "If that's the case, then it makes sense." ”
Glancing at Ye Zhenzhen, Ye Qiong immediately sighed: "Jing Hao and you, I have been open and honest, and I have talked to him about the relationship, I hope he can take the initiative to let go."
Now it seems that what I think is too simple, Jing Hao, maybe it will be difficult to achieve great things......"
Ye Hao was surprised and surprised: "My cousin and sister have known each other since childhood, and it is not an exaggeration to say that I am a childhood sweetheart, my cousin can't let go for a while, this is also human nature, why did grandpa say this?" ”
Ye Qiong shook her head and didn't explain.
No matter what he thinks, the Ye family has only one choice.
Moreover, judging from the thin heirs of His Majesty today, only the second prince is suitable to inherit the throne. Therefore, no matter what flaws he felt the second prince had, he could only cultivate and assist him with his heart.
"In that case, let's wait until this Shandong disaster passes, just right, I also want to see Ziheng's performance in the face of major events."
Ye Qiong said. Between the words, there is an expectation for Jia Baoyu.
Ye Hao was suddenly taken aback: "I'm also going to Shandong, so grandpa doesn't expect my performance?" ”
Ye Qiong Waner.
Ye Zhenzhen said lightly: "As long as you don't escape from the battle, you can embarrass your grandfather." ”
……
Jia Baoyu took the car back to his home, and when he went out of Defang, he was encountering street vendors hawking, and Jia Baoyu saw that a father and son had set up a long stall, selling handicrafts made of bamboo.
Things like bamboo tubes, bamboo bowls, and villains made of bamboo roots.
There are not many of these things in the capital, and Jia Baoyu knew that Tanchun liked these gadgets the most, so he ordered to stop the car and go down to pick some good-looking ones with Tanchun to send her back.
As soon as they approached the stall, the father and son who were selling things saw a big customer coming to the door and immediately greeted them happily.
"Childe, do you want to buy something? These things, it's perfect to take them back to the young ladies and young masters in the house to enjoy, you see, there are ...... everything."
Jia Baoyu nodded, looking from beginning to end.
There are a lot of things in the stall, which are indeed very beautiful, Jia Baoyu ordered more than a dozen, and his father and son helped Jia Baoyu wrap it up neatly, and then went up to pay for the cigarettes.
There are more than ten kinds of things, some big and some small, but only two or three hundred yuan, which is very cheap.
Jia Baoyu casually copied two small bamboo figures to play with in his hand, and Mingyan also stepped forward to pay the money.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a voice: "Second son? ”
When I looked back, I saw a young man in his twenties and thirties, with a bearded face and a rough appearance, standing not far away with an old man in his sixties and seventies.
It is the voice of the youth.
Looking at the old man again, Jia Baoyu suddenly felt a sense of well-being.
Although he looked gray-haired and seemed to be old, Jia Baoyu still felt a scorching aura from his body.
This old man is either in a high position, or he has killed people and killed many people......
Because Jia Baoyu felt the momentum from him that he had seen only in some veterans of the army.
"Dare to ask the two of you, but you're calling me?"
Jia Baoyu didn't know these two people, so he remained quite vigilant and didn't step forward.
"You're not the second son......"
The young man scratched his head, as if he was a little embarrassed.
The old man didn't speak, looked Jia Baoyu up and down, and said with a smile: "Little brother, don't blame, we recognized the wrong person, and please forgive us for the rudeness." ”
Jia Baoyu returned the salute, nodded, and then got into the carriage and beckoned Mingyan and the others to leave.
On the spot, the young man said to the old man: "Grandpa, you say, how can he be so similar to the second son, if it weren't for the fact that his clothes are a little different, he would be like a person." ”
The old man's eyes were deep, and there was a faint glint of essence.
"Yong'er, you go and inquire about the life experience of this son just now, and then, don't go back to the Zhen family's courtyard, go directly to the inn to find me."
"Yes, Grandpa......"
