Chapter 143: Thinking of sweet things while remembering the bitter past?
Chu Yingrui was still very satisfied with the Fifth Prince's advancement.
The thing a prince fears most is not taking responsibility and not being able to take charge.
And isn’t Lao Wu doing a good job too?
then……
Chu Yingrui gave an order directly.
There is no rush to arrange for a new Ping'an County Magistrate to take office, so let the Fifth Prince continue to take the position, which can be regarded as a training for the Fifth Prince.
As for the new Ping An County Order...
Ping'an County is near the capital and is a populous county... It can be said to be a very important and lucrative location.
The most important thing is the geographical location... If we occupy Ping'an County, if we want to start a rebellion in the future, a fast horse can reach the capital in just one day.
I just don’t believe that those people are not tempted.
Aren't you trying to seize the throne?
Aren't you going to fight for savings?
Aren't you fighting for power?
Let’s start with the Ping’an County Order.
Chu Yingrui has already used the position of Ping'an County Magistrate as bait.
…
…
So...soon, Chu Wuxun received a reply from Chu Yingrui.
Then, the Fifth Prince became the acting magistrate of Ping'an County in a daze but secretly happy manner.
Even though he was just a county magistrate, everyone listened to him, and he was surrounded by so many military advisors. It felt pretty good.
However...
The fifth prince soon discovered that half of the dog-headed military strategists had disappeared.
His fellow students were here to attend classes and could not stay in Ping'an County forever. Chu Wuxun was already preparing to take them to classes, so naturally they could not stay here any longer.
Fortunately.
Chu Yingrui was not a father for nothing. He directly sent two experienced old officials to the Fifth Prince, as well as a team of guards to protect the Fifth Prince's safety.
With this combination of civil and military talents, the Fifth Prince is able to become a high-ranking official in Ping'an County.
Leaving behind the Fifth Prince who was enjoying solving cases in Ping'an County, the group continued on their journey.
But...
Although the fifth prince was missing from the team, there were two more people.
One is Wei Ting, the eldest son of Marquis Pingnan.
He is also a famous elegant young man in the capital.
The dream lover of countless ladies in Beijing.
Wei Ting was sent by Chu Yingrui to deliver a letter, and then he stayed in the team.
The capital has been too turbid recently, so Marquis Ping'an simply sent his two sons away. With a wise man like King Jing leading the team, he will definitely not lead his sons into the ditch.
The other one is an acquaintance...it is Jiang Yueyao's elder brother, Jiang Yuansong.
The message Jiang Yueyao sent home had been received, and immediately... Jiang Zhen took sick leave and went to a farm in the suburbs with Zhou Qiongying to hide away.
The second brother, Jiang Yuanbo, has already entered the camp outside the capital, and he was the one who submitted the two account books, so he can't hide even if he wants to.
But the eldest brother...he directly asked Jiang Yuansong to come with the delivery team to deliver some things to the two sisters and hide outside at the same time.
They, the Jiang family, are too timid to dare to mess with the turbulent waters of the capital.
…
…
After five or six days of stopping and starting, the team finally stopped.
then……
"What? This is Xiaoniu Mountain?"
Jiang Yueyao's eyes widened in surprise. She never expected that... the field teaching location that Chu Wuxun mentioned would be Xiaoniu Mountain.
[This, this, this...isn't this the place where King Qian hid his treasure? ]
【Why did you choose this place? 】
[Oh my god... Could it be that Chu Wuxun also knew the peculiarities of Xiaoniu Mountain and brought us here on purpose? ]
As if feeling Jiang Yueyao's gaze, Chu Wuxun smiled slightly.
"There are several strategic locations around the capital, and Xiaoniu Mountain is one of them... This is also the location designated by His Majesty. You must perform well. Everyone's performance here will be recorded and presented to His Majesty."
After hearing these words, everyone had different expressions on their faces.
Several nobles showed joy on their faces. This was a good opportunity to show up in front of His Majesty. With the guidance of the famous teacher King Jing, they must seize the opportunity!
Several noble ladies had bitter looks on their faces... They are girls, why do they need to learn military tactics, strategies, and tactics?
Jiang Yueyao, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief.
[So this is the place chosen by the handsome guy? Then it’s fine.]
[I guess I just randomly clicked on the map and ended up here]
[I guess even the handsome guy himself didn't realize that this Xiaoniu Mountain is where King Qian hid his things.]
[Originally, I was worried about what excuse to come here, but I didn’t expect that… the handsome old man would be so helpful and directly send me here, and it was legitimate and not suspicious at all.]
[Well, when I get the treasure hidden by King Qian here, I will buy a few bags of seeds and give the old handsome man a good harvest.]
[He used the gold and silver treasures that he couldn't find in the first place to exchange for food that could increase production. The handsome guy made a profit.]
Jiang Yueyao was very happy and felt that it was great to have someone like her.
And the few people who heard Jiang Yueyao's thoughts.
Very good, goal achieved!
Jiang Yueyao originally thought that the so-called field teaching would be very difficult.
But who could have imagined...
Chu Wuxian's arrangements were quite appropriate.
Before they arrived, they had already sent people to requisition a private residence built by a wealthy businessman at the foot of Xiaoniu Mountain.
As for the wealthy businessman who originally lived here... when he knew that the princes and princesses were going to live in his house, he happily gave up his house and moved his entire family to the county town nearby.
Oh, this house is occupied by noble people...Looking back, this house will be associated with nobility!
No, it's the dragon's energy!
Is there such a good thing in the world?!
He didn't even want the gold and silver that Chu Wuxun wanted to give him. He just asked for a plaque written by Chu Wuxun himself, and then provided the house for free.
The house covers a large area. Although the house is a bit lavish and lacks the elegance that noble ladies like... Jiang Yueyao likes this kind of decoration.
What's more, the room was warm and there was hot water as soon as we moved in. It was so comfortable.
After taking a comfortable hot bath to wash away her fatigue and changing into clean clothes, someone called Jiang Yueyao out for dinner.
…
…
But...
When she arrived at the cafeteria and saw the dinner being served, Jiang Yueyao couldn't help but be stunned.
"What, what is this?!"
The eighth princess Chu Qinghui simply threw the bowl away.
The corn porridge in the bowl spilled all over the floor.
Jiang Yueyao had not expected that the dinner arranged by Chu Wuhuan would be this... Not only was it coarse grain porridge, but it also had a layer of wheat bran on top.
Not to mention these princes and princesses, young masters and young ladies, Jiang Yueyao considered herself to be just an ordinary passerby in the book, and she could not accept this kind of thing.
but……
The desire to survive in her body prevented Jiang Yueyao from doing anything rash. She just took a small sip of the bowl of corn porridge, then held the bowl and waited for further developments.
[Chu Wuxun must have a reason for doing this]
[Is this some kind of lesson about remembering the bitter past and thinking about the sweet past? ]
[By the way, if you can’t bear the hardship, I’ll make you suffer more.]
[For example, if you can’t eat corn porridge, you can’t eat it? ]
[The handsome guy is definitely capable of doing something like this. At this critical moment, it is safer to be honest.]
After hearing Jiang Yueyao's words, Chu Jiayi, who originally found the corn porridge difficult to swallow, immediately picked up the bowl and took a sip with a very serious attitude.
