Chapter 508: Parents who love their children will make long-term plans for them
After taking her leave from Liangyi Hall, Su Ying followed Fang Xiang out of the side door of Chengtian Gate.
"Master Xiao Su!" A guard hurried forward to greet him.
Su Ying recognized that it was Hegan Chengji. There was a layer of snow on his shoulders. She didn't know how long he had been waiting in the cold wind.
"Hegan Guard, what's the matter?" Su Ying asked politely.
"I am here on the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to wait for you and send you back home." Hegan Chengji said respectfully.
"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince! I will take Prime Minister Fang's car, so I won't bother the Hegan guards. I'll go back early to celebrate the New Year!" Su Ying bowed and thanked him.
"Master Xiao Su, this..." Hegan Chengji looked embarrassed. He had been freezing in the cold wind for two hours in vain, but failed to get anything done.
"Go back. It's New Year's Day. Use the money to drink!" Su Ying took out a bag of money from her pocket.
"Haha, Lord Su is too polite!" Hegan Chengji accepted it with a smile, but still insisted on sending Su Ying back home.
"No need to send me off!" Su Ying said politely.
"Guard Hegan, please go back. Lord Xiao Su and I are going the same way!" Prime Minister Fang said.
Hegan Chengji looked at Fang Xiang and Su Ying. Xingdaofang and Guangdefang are Wannian County and Chang'an County respectively. When did they become on the way?
"Let's go back!" Fang Xiang waved his hand, turned around and got into the car, and Su Ying also got in.
Hegan Chengji respectfully saw the carriage off, retracted his humble smile, frowned slightly, and stood quietly for a long time before returning to the East Palace to report.
"Are you afraid of this Hegan guard?" Fang Xiang said in the car, not asking, but confirming.
"?" Su Ying was surprised. "What does Minister Fang mean?"
"Haha! You are pretending, you are pretending!" Fang Xiangxu pointed at Su Ying and said with a smile.
"Even Lord Changsun is not afraid, but why would he be afraid of an Eastern Palace guard?"
"Sir, am I that obvious?" Su Ying shrugged and stopped pretending.
"Why?" Prime Minister Fang was quite interested. He was clearly protecting the prince, so why was he afraid of his guards?
"It feels strange that a jianghu person who uses money to avoid disaster has transformed himself into a guard for the crown prince! I don't want to offend him, so I can only keep my distance!"
Su Ying stopped there.
A flash of surprise passed through Fang Xiang's eyes. "This man was once a soldier in the Northern Territory who had been disarmed. He was quite famous among the knights-errant in Kyoto and was said to be a man of integrity."
Su Ying smiled without saying anything. Do you believe this?
Other guards came from noble families or generals, were related to family honor, and were an independent entity from the royal family.
This knight-errant used money to buy the hearts of the people, spread his reputation everywhere, and asked someone to introduce him to the prince. His purpose was self-evident: he wanted to gain wealth and glory and transcend social classes.
They have no loyalty and will only follow whoever feeds them. They will betray their master at any time for their own benefit.
He often goes in and out of the houses of the rich and powerful, holds many people's secrets in his hands, and has inextricable connections with these people, which can implicate the prince at any time.
Why did Li Chengqian fall so completely? Because he trusted him too much.
The chief guard participated in the whole process of raising assassins, assassinating ministers and Li Tai, and planning a rebellion, and even offered advice.
When Qi Wang Li You made trouble, he was immediately pulled out.
As a result, this bastard turned against his master, betrayed him, and enjoyed wealth and glory by stepping on the corpses of many people.
Su Ying looked outside through the car window. The avenues on both sides of the imperial city were hung with red lanterns, and the atmosphere was festive, but particularly deserted.
The entire Suzaku Street was empty, except for the Jinwu Guards patrolling the street.
"I'll get off here! Thank you for the ride, sir!" After leaving the imperial city, Su Ying was about to get off the car.
"Why are you in such a hurry? I'll give you a ride on the way!" Fang Xiang stopped him, and the coachman turned right and headed towards Guangdefang.
"Your Excellency is very busy. How can I take up your rest time?" Su Ying felt uncomfortable.
Every time I leave the palace, I am sent off by others. It is okay once or twice, but if it happens too often, it is too rude.
I have to buy a car quickly. It will be inconvenient to travel to the Firearms Research Institute, Hongwenguan, and Li Tai's sugar factory without a car.
"Just come out and relax!" Fang Xiang smiled. "Minister Su will be going to Shengzhou for an inspection soon. Can you take my son with you?"
"Second Young Master Fang?" Su Ying asked.
"Yes! Yiai hates studying, so why not go out and gain some experience..." A hint of worry flashed in Fang Xiang's eyes.
"Parents who love their children will make long-term plans for them!" Su Ying smiled, "It seems that Prime Minister Fang loves the Second Young Master very much!"
"Shame, shame! It's the father's fault if the son is not well educated. I don't know who this child looks like! I'm not afraid that he will be a playboy, but I'm afraid that one day someone will..." Prime Minister Fang sighed.
Su Ying stared at Fang Xiang for a long time. It turned out that the think tank's mind was different and he could see things more clearly than others.
He was right. The first-class merit at Xuanwu Gate that he had earned at his death, and the honors and wealth that he had accumulated through his diligent and hard work for fifteen years, were all squandered by this bastard.
"Don't worry, just let him do odd jobs along the way. Just order him around and let him have something to do!" Prime Minister Fang was very humble.
"Uh..." Su Ying pondered, thinking about how to help this wise minister and famous prime minister throughout the ages.
"Sir, I have a suggestion. I wonder if I should say it or not?"
"Please speak!" Fang Xiang's eyes were full of hope.
"There are two places. One is the Guangzhou Port Warship Yard, which will be equipped with caltrops and crossbows. It will also be a military achievement in the future!
One is the seagoing ship in Quanzhou Port. If you are brave enough, you can form a fleet and go out to sea with the Chen family's seagoing ship.
There are many dangers ahead. I will definitely return home with a lot of money in a year or two. It all depends on whether you are willing to let me go!"
Sailing can train one's will and courage, and it keeps one away from the struggles in the capital. I wonder if he can avoid the ill-fated relationship with Princess Gaoyang more than ten years later?
Now the room changer stared into Su Ying's eyes. Could it be that she also saw something?
Su Ying was frank and allowed Fang Xiang to look at her. This was the best advice she could think of.
"What is the draft of the largest ship that can be built in Quanzhou now?" asked Fang Xiang, apparently wanting to send his son away.
With this kid's brain, he should be placed in a warship factory. Don't think about military achievements, just don't let him reveal the secrets there. Amitabha.
Let's go to HNA and do business. Doesn't he want to sail on a big ship? Fulfill his wish!
"More than 2,000 koku! As big as a warship can be, so can a sea-going ship. The leakage problem has been solved.
"Now it should be a matter of power, how to use the wind power to travel faster on the sea." Su Ying replied.
"I'll think about it!" Fang Xiang pondered.
Soon they arrived at the Su Mansion. Su Ying got out of the car and bowed to express her gratitude: "Happy New Year, I wish you all the best, happiness and longevity!"
Fang Xiang raised his hand and said, "Happy New Year! I wish Master Xiao Su a prosperous and successful career!"
The doorman heard the noise and hurriedly opened the door, "The little master is back!"
"Well! Thank you for your hard work! Happy New Year!" Su Ying said politely and took out a handful of money.
"Happy New Year, young master!" The doorman took it happily.
"Isn't Daye asleep yet?" I passed by the study and saw the light was still on, so I went in to take a look.
"Waiting for you!" Su Bucheng stood up. Now that his eldest daughter was back, it was time for him to go back to the house and rest.
"My second uncle has good news! He will set off for Shengzhou the day after tomorrow to inspect the Yellow River!" Su Ying did not mention the promotion.
"Yeah!" Su Bucheng didn't ask and just did his work seriously.
"Aye, add another car!"
"Yeah, okay!"
The father and daughter entered the yard and returned to their respective rooms.
"Sister!" After returning to the room, Atang woke up suddenly.
"Go to sleep!" Su Ying whispered.
I originally wanted to write something, but I was busy all day and didn’t have time to start writing intermediate mathematics.
Thinking that the light would disturb my two younger sisters’ sleep, I had to give up.
He took off his official robe and hood, yawned, and suddenly felt sleepy. He climbed onto the bed, fell into a deep sleep.
