Chapter 318 Are you thinking of me tonight?
But, are you kidding me? Do you think Jiang Yu would be short of these good things? The thing he lacks the most is these good medicines.
However, he is the seventh prince after all, so they both have to bear some responsibility.
Moreover, Murong Huai seemed to be sincere towards the two of them and wanted to make friends with them.
Murong Huai began to pester the two of them, as if it had to start from a great victory half a year ago. He was in the back, standing next to the commander-in-chief to support the team, and then witnessed Jiang Yu and Su Chen killing everyone on the battlefield with his own eyes.
Jiang Yu and Su Chen each took the head of an enemy general, which greatly boosted the morale of the army.
The commander-in-chief directly made the two of them captains, entered the commander-in-chief's camp, and gave them their own tents.
Murong Huai now works directly under the military advisor and holds a civilian position in the military, but he is also quite impressive.
As for Murong Sheng, his martial arts skills were not low, and he had some prestige on the battlefield. He was previously a captain and general, and was recently promoted to cavalry captain, and was the leader of the cavalry battalion.
The two princes competed openly and secretly, both wanting to win over Jiang Yu and Su Chen to their own side.
Jiang Yu and Su Chen are so skilled in martial arts that Murong Huai particularly admires them.
"Thank you, Seventh Prince!" Jiang Yu took it with both hands.
"What are you thanking me for? Don't be so polite. We are all comrades-in-arms!" Murong Huai smiled heartily.
To be honest, Jiang Yu was inexplicably not resistant to Murong Huai. Compared to Murong Sheng, he seemed quite genuine, not pretentious, and more approachable.
As the three were talking, Murong Sheng also arrived, bringing with him some medicine for wounds. Seeing that the tent was open, he walked straight in. He had a smile on his face, but when he saw Murong Huai was there too, he immediately put away his smile.
Murong Huai turned around and saw that it was him, and immediately started to speak in a sarcastic tone:
"Hey, Fifth Brother, are you here to deliver medicine to the two captains? But you're late, I've already delivered it!"
Seeing Murong Huai's smug look, Murong Sheng didn't panic and slowly placed the medicine on the table:
"It's a thoughtful gesture after all, regardless of who comes first or who comes later."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness the Fifth Prince." Jiang Yu and Jiang Chen bowed to him.
He was not so polite to either of them, but the more polite he was, the more distant he felt.
Jiang Yu felt that he was very vulgar. He had no feelings for Murong Sheng. Originally, he neither disliked nor liked him, but because his Wan Wan seemed to be quite resistant to him, he also started to resist him.
Su Chen followed Jiang Yu. He naturally wouldn't get involved with people he didn't like dealing with.
Murong Sheng felt like a clown here, so he went back after saying a few words. Murong Huai won the game and felt extremely comfortable.
However, he also knew that he could not disturb the two patients' rest, so he left not long after.
After the two princes left, Su Chen sighed helplessly:
"It seems that your status as the Duke of Jiang is really popular, and it has also brought me some glory."
Jiang Yu heard this, raised his eyebrows and smiled:
"How do you know that it's not because of your outstanding abilities that they are extending an olive branch to you?"
"That might be part of the reason!" Su Chen said proudly.
He had been with Jiang Yu for so long that he became arrogant.
However, Su Chen reached his current position by himself, and his achievements were no less than Jiang Yu's, all won through real fighting. Their reputations spread throughout the enemy camp, and the enemy general threatened that whoever could take the head of either of them would be awarded the title of captain.
There are those who are willing to sacrifice their lives for military merit, but there are also those who are self-aware. Who wants to die in vain?
Those who had some ability rushed towards the two of them, and those soldiers consciously stayed away from them. Therefore, Jiang Yu and Su Chen faced the most heroic soldiers of the enemy on the battlefield, and they could also improve themselves, which was more challenging.
Su Chen argued with him for a while and went back to his tent. Jiang Yu then took out the ring from under the pillow and looked at it in the palm of his hand. When he looked at the gold ring, his eyes were as gentle as water and he did not move away for a long time. To outsiders, it seemed that he was distracted.
Jiang Yu thought:
Are you thinking of me at this moment?
Su Wan, who was far away in Kyoto, was sleeping soundly. She turned over and hugged the pillow in her arms, with a smile on her lips. She must have had a beautiful dream.
Jiang Yu has a plan. He wants to help Su Chen rise in the army. He already has a noble status. When he returns to the capital, he just wants to be an idle prince and does not want to participate in any important position. But Su Chen is different. He is capable and motivated. Only by making more great contributions can he be awarded a good position and stay in the capital in the future.
…
Later, Su Wan was busy with business in Kyoto, and met with Shen Qingli from time to time. The two of them went out to play and go shopping, and the days passed quickly.
Those processes have been done many times, and Su Yi can handle them all by himself, including decorating the Yuyantang shop, hiring people, and arranging them to make soap, but he has not found a suitable candidate for the general manager yet.
This is Kyoto, and you have to judge people carefully. If you choose someone whose appearance you only know but not his true heart, it will be a huge hidden danger.
Before we knew it, a month had passed quickly and the workshop had already started production. The weather in Kyoto was not very good right now, so the soap needed to be dried for a long time and it would take about a week before it could be packaged and sold.
The alkalinity must evaporate, otherwise it may be harmful to the skin when used.
The workshop is preparing stocks, and the shop location of Yuyantang has also been selected. As mentioned before, we will rent it for a year first, and then buy the shop after the funds are stable.
It is still under renovation. We need to choose a date for the opening so that we can promote it in advance. However, the management issue is really difficult.
I interviewed many shop owners, and they all seemed unreliable.
They all looked smart, but they had a lot of calculations in their minds. They were all after the lucrative job, and since she was a young female boss, they didn't take her seriously.
Since they looked down on her as a female merchant, no matter how great their achievements were in the past, it was all in vain.
It’s strange to say, I didn’t see a single female shopkeeper coming for an interview in Kyoto, only old men.
Shen Qingli also came to Furong Cottage that day to teach Su Wan how to play the zheng. The two of them are now like good sisters who can talk about anything and have a very good relationship.
Shen Qingli had already told her family about what happened with Su Jing. The Grand Secretary immediately sent people to You County to take a look and found that Su Jing was not lying. The progress of the Xuanhe Dam was steady and he had managed the Xuanhe River very well. Patches of small woods had been planted.
There were few refugees, and the common people praised him highly.
It is estimated that it will be completed in two years at most. When Su Jing returns to Beijing, the emperor will at least appoint him as a third-rank official and let him enter the cabinet directly.
So, the Grand Secretary agreed to their relationship and agreed to let his daughter wait for him.
Now Shen Qingli goes out to see Su Wan from time to time, but she does it secretly, and the outside world still thinks she is sick.
Mrs. Shen asked her to invite Su Wan and Su Yi today and to visit them another day. Mrs. Shen wanted to meet Su Wan. She heard that she was a good girl. After all, her daughter praised her highly.
