Chapter 286 Just Be Happy
Song Jingyun frowned slightly, "So..."
"So." Jiang Junli's mouth curled up slightly, "Mr. Song has worked so hard, he needs to be rewarded. Coincidentally, I made a lot of money recently because of a poor business deal. I have to spend this ill-gotten wealth quickly."
"So I ordered someone to buy a small house and a few shops for Mr. Song in the capital. I hope Mr. Song will not despise them."
As he spoke, Jiang Junli took out the house's exterior drawing and showed it to Song Jingyun, while introducing it, "This is a large courtyard with three entrances. It's not very big, but the house is relatively new. It has been renovated in the past two years. I went in to take a look. The flowers, plants and trees are quite complete, and the small garden is also pleasing to the eye."
"These shops are not very big, and now they are all rented out. In a year, they can only collect about one or two thousand taels of silver..."
Song Jingyun, "..."
I really can't see where the smallness lies!
"Mr. Jiang, these..." Song Jingyun opened his mouth to refuse Jiang Junli's kindness.
Jiang Junli frowned, sighed, and patted Song Jingyun on the shoulder, interrupting him. "I know that this house is not big, and the shop is small. The total value of the things is only more than ten thousand taels of silver. It is really nothing, and it can't completely offset Mr. Song's hard work in the next few decades."
"But please rest assured, Mr. Song. As long as I, Jiang Junli, am still here, I will do my best to reward you. I will not let your hard work go to waste and I will make sure that you gain something from your hard work."
"Jiang Langjun, that's not what I meant..."
"I understand what Mr. Song means." Jiang Junli interrupted Song Jingyun and spoke more earnestly, "Although the Jiang family is wealthy, they have always been committed to agriculture, so they purchased a lot of good land this year and donated a lot of money to build river embankments and water conservancy projects. They also prepared some houses and land as rewards for all the Jinshi candidates, so they can only give these to Mr. Song."
"But don't worry, Mr. Song. I have truly accepted my fate now. I know that I may never be able to serve the court as an official in this life. I can only continue to do business with peace of mind. I will probably make more and more money in the future, which will benefit Mr. Song and all those who serve the country..."
Song Jingyun, "..."
Forget it, Jiang Langjun, as long as you are happy.
Song Jingyun also knew Jiang Junli's usual behavior, so he stopped trying to persuade him and let him chatter for a long time.
Two days later, he rode a horse through the streets.
With fine clothes and galloping horses and a grand event, it is the most glorious moment for high school students. It is also the most grand and anticipated event in the entire capital every three years.
In the early morning, those who came to watch the fun had already been waiting in the long street, waiting to catch a glimpse of his noble appearance.
And those daughters of wealthy families who were waiting to find their ideal husbands had already reserved window seats in teahouses along the way so that they could take a look at the couple and try their luck.
The Ministry of Rites also delivered formal dresses to each Jinshi candidate early on, and the ceremonial guards were waiting at the street entrance.
The top three candidates all came from Guanghua Garden this time. The three of them agreed on a time and went out together.
At the gate of Guanghua Garden, Jiang Junli and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had been waiting for a long time.
"Mr. Jiang." Song Jingyun and the other two bowed and paused slightly when they saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
