Chapter 44: Why don't you call me an apprentice?

Jia Yu saw him sitting in the front seat of the Rongxi Hall and was embarrassed for a while, why did the Holy Lord send him? It's not that the status of the person who came is low, but too high. Jia Yu felt that his head was starting to hurt, and he sent the four princes with a small winter soup kitchen. Jia Yu asked the Lu family to ask the Holy Lord to allow the Jia family to give porridge in the winter in the name of the royal family.

Seeing that Jia Daishan was dispatched and Shi was imprisoned, Jia Yu decided that it was better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, so that the civilians could also have food and clothing in winter. But in the era of the supremacy of imperial power, Jia Yu didn't dare to be the first bird, so he decided to pull the royal family on the ship. The excerpt also asked the Holy Lord to send someone to supervise it together, thinking that he would only send an inner servant over, but who knew that it was Jia Yu's acquaintance - the fourth prince.

"Big brother, what's wrong? Do you feel unwell?" Jia Zheng on the side asked worriedly when he saw Jia Yu's tangled expression.

"It's okay, let's go inside. Jia Yu came back to his senses, saw the fourth prince turn his head when he heard the voice, and walked towards the fourth prince after answering Jia Zheng.

"Jia Yu has seen the Fourth Highness. Jia Yu stopped saluting the four princes, Jia Zheng was stunned when he heard Jia Yu's words, and then hurriedly saluted the nobleman.

"Get up, don't be polite. After receiving the salute, the fourth prince said, complacent, even if it is a little fox, this is not to bow to me, but he still feels unhappy about the last time Jia Yu saw through his identity but pretended not to know the fourth prince, and now Jia Yu bowed his head The four princes feel satisfied in their hearts.

"Brother Jia, what's the matter, don't you call His Highness an apprentice brother anymore?" the fourth prince quipped, he wanted to see how Jia Yu would react.

"Fourth Highness, you just spare the little one, the little one really didn't know if you were the Fourth Highness at the time, or if you came back to tell your grandmother that your grandmother guessed it. Jia Yu naturally opened his mouth and relied on the Lu family for everything, anyway, the four princes had no chance to see the Lu family.

"Well, in the future, His Highness will call you Enhou. The four princes were also open, and they didn't mention whether they wanted to believe it or not.

"Thank you, Your Highness. Doing a full set of plays, Jia Yu bowed respectfully again.

"Enhou should know why His Highness is here. The fourth prince asked.

"The Fourth Highness should have come here for the winter soup kitchen. Jia Yu replied.

"Yes, every winter, many people in the capital will freeze to death and starve to death, and my father will sigh every time he sees the official report from his parents in the capital. But the treasury is not abundant, and my father can't do anything. The fourth prince bowed in the direction of the palace and began to speak.

That day, the father and emperor were very happy to see Lu Taijun's son, and said that finally there were courtiers who were willing to share the worries of the court. After speaking, the fourth prince looked at Jia Yu again.

Jia Yu didn't dare to be, Jia Yu just saw that his wife was unwell and wanted to do some good deeds for his wife. Jia Yu bowed and replied.

"His Royal Highness told you these things, not for anything else, but to let you know that my father attaches great importance to this winter soup kitchen, and wants the Rongguo Mansion to take the lead in setting an example. The Four Princes continued.

Jia Yu understands that things must be done properly. Jia Yu hurriedly agreed, and at the same time woke up to the fact that the Shengshang hoped that the Rongguo Mansion would take the lead in contributing money and efforts, as long as it was not messed up, the Shengshang would reward it in the future. When the time comes, other people who don't see rabbits and eagles will rush to stand up, a family of 5,000 taels is good, how can there be at least a few 100,000 in a family, and a cold winter can only be passed, worthy of being an old fox in politics.

Enhou took His Highness to see how the soup kitchen was going. Seeing that Jia Yu had already realized what to do, the fourth prince diverted the topic.

Jia Yu hurriedly took the four princes to the place where the porridge was eaten, and in order to give porridge, Jia Yu asked people to build a grass hut in the open space not far from Rongguo Mansion. There are several large cauldrons in the grass hut, and porridge is boiling in them. The heat rising from the hot porridge in the pot could not withstand the cold weather, Zhishu was wearing a thick cotton coat and was directing his subordinates, and when he saw Jia Yu coming, he hurriedly came over to greet him, and only after bowing did he see the four princes. He went down to Jinling with Jia Yu and naturally recognized the son they rescued.

"This is the Fourth Highness. Jia Yu didn't wait for Zhishu to open his mouth to introduce the four princes, and Zhishu was surprised and hurriedly saluted again.

"Zhishu, how is the porridge cooked? Take a bowl and show it to His Highness. Jia Yu asked after waiting for the book to finish. Zhishu hurriedly took a bowl of porridge and handed it to Jia Yu. Jia Yu picked up the porridge with his left hand, and took the chopsticks with his right hand and inserted them into the porridge. The fourth prince was very satisfied when he saw that the chopsticks did not fall down.

Jia Zheng didn't understand what Jia Yu was doing, so he was busy explaining to him. Only then did Jia Zheng understand that if the chopsticks do not fall into the porridge, it means that the porridge is thick enough, and it is enough to be full after eating. The fourth prince looked up at the crowd and frowned.

"Enhou, there seem to be a lot of people coming, is the rice porridge prepared enough?"

"Back to the Fourth Highness, we have prepared rice porridge for 5,000 people, and another 1,000 people for backup in case it is not enough. Jia Yu naturally understood what the four princes meant, if the porridge was not enough, the people who waited for so long but couldn't get the porridge would probably make a fuss, and then it would become a joke.

"In addition, we have prepared a four-month portion to cope with the possible increase in the number of people in the future. Jia Yu continued to answer. The fourth prince nodded, but two months of soup porridge was prepared for four months, and Jia Yu could be cautious. Jia Yu left Jia Zheng to help, and he took the four princes to the place where the rice grain was stored to see, and the four princes picked up the rice grains and saw that although they were old rice, they were still well preserved, and there was no musty smell at all.

The four princes stayed for most of the day, and returned to the palace with a satisfactory answer, and Jia Yu took Jia Zheng back to the Guogong Mansion tiredly.

"Big brother, I don't understand something, why did His Royal Highness Shi Yi Porridge come in person?" Jia Zheng asked as he sat next to Jia Yu.

"The Fourth Highness is not here for soup kitchen, the Fourth Highness is just here to spread a word. Jia Yu took a sip of tea and continued. "The Holy One wants us to take the lead and take out some taels of silver. ”

"Is the treasury out of money, how much do we need to take?" Jia Zheng was dumbfounded and asked nervously.

"It doesn't take much, tens of thousands are enough. Jia Yu said.

"Tens of thousands are so little, can't you take out tens of thousands of taels of saints?" Jia Zheng asked stupidly. Jia Yu smacked him on the head. "Don't talk nonsense!"

"The Holy One wants us to make a show for others to see, and the target is not us at all. Jia Yu explained to Jia Zheng. "As for how much to give, let my grandmother have a headache. ”

Jia Yu didn't say it clearly, and the rest was left to Jia Zheng to think, so that Jia Zheng could slowly learn to be independent. Jia Zheng sat there thoughtfully, thinking for a long time before he could get a thorough understanding of what Jia Yu said, and turned his head, Jia Yu didn't know where he went.
