Chapter 248 Abandoning Learning



At this time, Yu Jin was listening to Zhu Juli and Jiang Zhan chatting, but his thoughts had already flown away.

I don’t know whether Asi ate the dates he sent me, because he personally picked and washed those dates.

"Brother Yu Qi?"

Yu Jin came back to his senses, thinking back to when he saw Jiang Zhan eat seven or eight dates he brought in one breath, and he became furious.

I've never seen a grown man love snacks so much. Just try one just for your own good!

Jiang Zhan was very moved: "Brother Yu Qi, I was lucky you were there when I came back from Shuntian Prefecture, otherwise my fourth sister and I would have suffered. It's okay for me to suffer a little, but if my fourth sister suffered, I would be damned."

Yu Jin didn't say anything, thinking that it was good that he understood. As a brother, he always caused trouble and implicated his sister, so he deserved to be put to death. Did he still want a reduction in sentence?

"Brother Yu Qi, you not only brought valuable supplements, but also dates. You are so polite."

"Date seeds replenish blood." Yu Jin said lightly.

"By the way, Brother Yu Qi, you just said you were moving?"

Yu Jin nodded: "Yeah."

"Aren't we living well in Quezi Hutong? Why do we suddenly want to move?"

"It's not good not to move to the house my family bought for me."

"So Brother Yu Qi will live alone from now on?"

Yu Jin thought about it and nodded: "There are quite a few people."

Jiang Zhan felt quite regretful: "It will be inconvenient for me to look for Brother Yu Qi in the future."

He doesn't know anyone in the family except his seventh brother, so it's a bit awkward to visit them.

Yu Jin was very considerate and said, "It's okay. If Jiang Erdi feels it's inconvenient to come to my place, I can come over often in the future."

Jiang Zhan was delighted when he heard this: "Brother Yu Qi is right. My father really likes you and always asks you to come and play."

Yu Jin smiled faintly: "As long as uncle doesn't mind."

"How could he dislike you? I think my father wishes you were his son." Jiang Zhan curled his lips.

"I hope my uncle doesn't mind."

"What?"

Yu Jin coughed and said seriously, "I mean, I am flattered by my uncle's kindness to me."

Jiang Zhan suddenly fell silent, and after a while he asked cautiously, "Brother Yu Qi, is your father not very kind to you?"

If they weren't so familiar with each other, he would be embarrassed to ask this question.

Jiang Zhan recently figured it out. It would be nice if Yu Qige could really be his brother-in-law. At least he could protect his fourth sister when she was in danger. However, he was a little worried about Yu Qige's family situation. He always felt that Yu Qige, who was alone in the capital, didn't seem to be doing well at home.

Hearing Jiang Zhan's question, Yu Jin thought about it for a moment and said with a smile, "Second brother Jiang also knows that my family has many brothers and sisters, so my parents naturally pay less attention to each child. This is human nature, and it is not bad for me. On the contrary, I feel more comfortable this way. At least my every move will not be stared at by the elders, don't you think?"

Jiang Zhan thought it was so true. His father kept a close eye on him and beat him at any time because he was the only son.

"Brother Yu Qi has a point."

Yu Jin smiled slightly: "Second brother Jiang, the matter I asked you a few days ago has been solved. There is a vacancy in the Jinwu Guard. I wonder if you want to go--"

"Jinwuwei?" Jiang Zhan was stunned. After a while, he pointed at himself and said, "You said I can go to Jinwuwei?"

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Jinwu Guard and the Jinlin Guard were the two most dazzling guards among all the royal guards.

There is no need to explain the reputation of the Jinwu Guards. The Jinwu Guards are responsible for the security of the royal family, and almost all of them are selected from the children of nobles and military generals.

Jiang Zhan once skipped class to take an exam when he was selecting members for the Jinwu Guard, but he failed.

He was only thirteen years old at that time. After losing the election, he trained very hard for two years. As a result, the Jinwu Guard no longer held elections and there were usually vacancies.

In a big family, apart from the eldest son who is destined to inherit the family business and the sons and grandsons who are talented in studying, it is better for the sons and grandsons to have a serious job than to hang around at home. Jinwuwei is a good place for young people to train. The job is easy, the salary is good, and they can occasionally show up in front of the emperor, so naturally they have become a hot commodity in the eyes of many people.

Jiang Zhan still couldn't believe his good luck and asked again, "Brother Yu Qi, can I really go to Jinwuwei?"

Yu Jin smiled and nodded: "As long as you are willing."

"Of course I am willing. Only a fool wouldn't be willing!" Jiang Zhan was so happy that he almost jumped up.

If he went to work for the Jinwu Guard, he wouldn't have to study anymore, and he could use the money he earned to buy delicious food for his sister.

No, I can pay back the money I owe to my fourth sister sooner.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhan wanted to report to the Jinwu Guard immediately.

Yu Jin reminded him, "I remember that Jiang Erdi is still studying. Changing to another path is a big deal. Jiang Erdi should discuss it with your father."

"Father will certainly agree."

"Then I'll wait for news from Second Brother Jiang."

After sending Yu Jian away, Jiang Zhan immediately went to the study to find Jiang Ancheng. Soon, a shocking roar came from the study: "What, you don't want to study anymore? You little beast, did you go to Jinshui River and not get beaten, but instead made you braver?"

Jiang Zhan quickly covered his face and said, "Father, please listen to me. It was Brother Yu Qi who found a job for me."

When Jiang Zhan mentioned Yu Jian, Jiang Ancheng stopped beating his son and frowned, "Did Xiao Yu find a job for you?"

Jiang Zhan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Brother Yu Qi found it."

"What can you do if you don't study? Are you going to learn how to open a shop and do business? I thought Xiaoyu was a reliable person, but I didn't expect that he would become a bad person after learning from you."

Jiang Zhan's mouth twitched when he heard this.

Who is this biological father? Usually, people blame others for spoiling their children, but why is it the other way around for his father?

"Father, please first listen to what job Brother Yu Qi has found for me."

"What errand?"

Jiang Zhan grinned: "Jinwu Guard."

Jiang Ancheng was stunned for a moment, thinking he had heard wrongly: "Jinwu Guard?"

"Yes, it's the Jinwu Guard you were thinking of." Jiang Zhan felt refreshed when he saw his father's performance.

He never thought that one day he would be able to be proud of himself in front of his father.

"It's hard to find a vacancy in the Jinwu Guard right now. How did Xiaoyu find such a good job for you?" Jiang Ancheng was puzzled.

"Brother Yu Qi has helped many people, so others should be grateful to him."

"Such a good job, Xiaoyu should go by himself."

Jiang Zhan shook his head and said, "Father, if you continue to do this, your son will doubt his life."

Jiang Ancheng slapped him and said, "Why are you doubting your life? Go back and call Xiaoyu to come over for dinner!"

"I understand. Father, I won't go to the academy anymore. I'll practice before I start my duties."

Jiang Ancheng frowned and pondered for a moment before nodding: "You can not go to the school, but you are not allowed to make the matter known to everyone before you go to work."

"My son will definitely not make a fuss. He will at most tell my fourth sister."

In the eyes of everyone in the Dongping Marquis's mansion, Jiang Zhan was a good-for-nothing, and skipping classes was a common occurrence for him. It was not until the autumn examination was approaching that the people in the mansion realized something belatedly: the second young master actually stopped studying!
