After the salted fish is married

98. Guardian

Yan Ke and the others pressed their hands on the long knife, their eyes were red with anger.They didn't hear what the student said before, but after hearing Yan Xining's angry scolding, why didn't they understand?

After Ji Song lost his legs, there were far more people watching the fun than grieving.The opponents took the opportunity to pull him off the altar, and the words behind his back became worse and worse.They have endured all this, and now even frail scholars dare to say that the master is a paralytic?It is tolerable or unbearable.

If they were on the battlefield, they would have drawn their swords and beheaded each other, but now they are standing in the capital of Chu and Liao, facing students who are powerless.If he really beheaded the other party, the memorial to impeach the master tomorrow would be piled up on Emperor Pingyuan's desk.

Afterwards, the students pleaded for orders, and the literati condemned them... It was hard for the master to live a stable life, and they couldn't find trouble for the master.

But it was too uncomfortable to hold this breath in their hearts, and their hands trembled because of the discomfort.Just when they couldn't hold it anymore, Ji Song's voice came from upstairs: "Well said."

After two applause sounded, Yan Ke and the others immediately understood Ji Song's meaning.They strode up the stairs, and after a while they carried Ji Song downstairs steadily.

Ji Song immediately saw Yan Xining standing in the crowd who was full of helplessness and helplessness. A certain part of his chest was soft and painful.

He was upstairs just now, and he heard the movement downstairs clearly.In fact, when Yan Zhangshi was embarrassing Yan Xining, he figured it out.But before he could speak, Aning exploded.

Yan Xining's temper couldn't be better, Ji Song never saw him speak loudly.Yan Zhang made things difficult for him so much, he would only explain his grievances and express his position.But when the mean-spirited student made fun of his broken leg, Aning, who had always been gentle, moved his hands.

If it wasn't for being anxious, Ah Ning would definitely not be like this.It would be a lie to say that he was not moved. Since his leg was broken, Ji Song has seen countless hypocrisy, which made him understand a truth: there are many people who add icing on the cake, but few people give charcoal in the snow.

If he could stand up at this moment, he would definitely give his princess a hug and tell him not to be afraid, he is there for everything.

Ji Song's appearance made the students quiet down in unison.

Ji Song manipulated the wheelchair and stood in front of Yan Xining. He calmly glanced at the students surrounded by the door: "Being able to study in the Imperial College proves that everyone here is very good. It can be said that many of you will be in the near future. In the future, he will become a pillar of the country and a leader in all walks of life in Chu and Liao."

"Unlike the soldiers guarding the frontier, you are safe, and it is this safety that we guard. I hope you will act like a gentleman and do what a gentleman should do."

Ji Song's tone was calm: "I also believe that you are all gentlemen, you know honor and disgrace with integrity, you don't judge success or failure by gains and losses, and you don't judge heroes by birth."

If Yan Xining's scolding made them feel ashamed, then Ji Song's firm words were like a heavy whip that directly whipped their souls.In contrast, the students felt that they were dirty and ugly, and they were not worthy of shouting in front of King Rong.

They have indeed read the sage books and know the truth, but so what, when facing the reality, they are no different from ordinary people.They would laugh at Princess Xiao's mother who came from a brothel, and they would laugh at Prince Xiao's broken leg.Even so, King Rong still trusted and encouraged them.How can they afford such trust?

At this moment, the students present fell into deep self-blame and reflection.

After Ji Song finished speaking, he looked up at Yan Xining. He gave Yan Xining a comforting look, and then turned to face Yan Zhang: "Madam Yan."

Yan Zhangshi was scared from the moment Ji Song came out, and her old sisters saw that the situation was not good and slipped away with oil on their shoes.Yan Zhang also wanted to slip away, but she didn't dare.

Yan Zhang's voice trembled: "My lord, my lord."

Ji Song's fingers tapped on the armrest unhurriedly: "When my concubine was in the Yan Mansion, you took care of me." Although his tone was calm, his eyes were extremely sharp.Yan Zhang didn't dare to look up at him, so she could only back away and hide her fear with a laugh: "No... dare not..."

Ji Song didn't intend to let her go, Yan Xining was just forced to be speechless by her, and he wanted to let Yan Zhangshi have a taste of this: "It was said earlier that when Ah Ning returned home, you and Yan Shangshu were at home. Waiting for a whole day? This is the negligence of the king. On that day, the king was seriously ill, and Aning was worried that the king would not leave, so please Madam Yan, don't blame Aning."

The prince is seriously ill, how can the princess return home happily?This doesn't make sense or reason.

Yan Zhang quickly said: "My wife dare not blame the princess."

Ji Song nodded slightly: "Regardless of Aning's background, he is the concubine I am marrying and is now a member of the royal family. Mrs. Yan should know the rules. Next time you see Aning, remember to salute first."

Hearing this, Yan Zhang's complexion was pale, and as an imperial wife, she was pointed out by His Royal Highness Rong Wang for not knowing etiquette, and her reputation would be ruined if word spread out.It's all right if her reputation is ruined, she still has a daughter who has not left the court, which powerful family will dare to marry her daughter in the future?

At this moment, the regret in Yan Zhang's heart reached its peak: "My lord, my lord..."

Ji Song narrowed his eyes slightly, seeing Yan Zhangshi's fearful look, he only felt it was ridiculous and refreshing.Yan Zhang suppressed Yan Xining with filial piety, even if she treated Yan Xining harshly, it was justifiable in front of the public.However, it's not only Yan Zhang who can do things like labeling people, he will too.

Heaven and earth are kings, parents and teachers, and the king is in front of you.Yan Xining was said to be disloyal and unfilial just because he didn't go home to visit relatives who treated him badly, so what kind of person would be called disrespectful to the royal family?

At this time, the steward finally brought the person in charge, and the person he brought was Yan Boyong, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

When Yan Boyong got off the sedan chair, he saw that the front of the shop was full of students, and he finally squeezed into the shop when he saw Zhang's complexion was pale.At that moment, his heart tightened, secretly thinking something bad happened.

The worst thing Yan Boyong did in his life was to marry Zhang. At that time, he was greedy for Zhang's beauty and insisted on marrying her despite the dissuasion of his family.As a result, she realized after marriage that the Zhang family who came from a small family has nothing but beauty.She is short-sighted and narrow-minded and tends to be in power. Not only can she not help herself in her official career, but she even makes his family restless.

Yan Boyong wanted to divorce his wife countless times, but divorcing his wife had too much influence on his official career, and Zhang gave birth to Yan Ziyue for him.For Yan Ziyue's sake, he could only turn a blind eye and bear with it.

However, he didn't expect that Mrs. Zhang would be so courageous that she would act like a demon under his nose.Today, the manager came to look for Mrs. Zhang in a panic, and after Yan Boyong asked, he found out that Mrs. Zhang had not handed over the shop that he gave Yan Xining as a dowry.

Yan Boyong wanted to slap Mrs. Zhang hard, but with so many students around, no matter how much anger he had, he could only go back and explode.

Seeing Yan Boyong squeezed in, Ji Song's smile deepened.

Yan Boyong hurriedly ran to Ji Song and saluted: "Old minister Yan Boyong pays his respects to His Royal Highness and Wangfei."

Ji Song said softly: "There's no need to be too polite to take a shower today. The Shangshu came just in time. There was some misunderstanding between Wangfei and Mrs. Yan just now. This king has already explained it clearly."

Yan Boyong didn't know what Zhang's idea was and what method he used, and at this moment his face was flushed with anger and blood.If it wasn't for the scene, he would definitely call Zhang a "fool".

But at this moment, Yan Boyong can only beg for mercy: "You are ignorant, please forgive me."

Ji Song nodded slightly, and after a pause, he said softly, "I shouldn't have said much about Yan Shangshu's family affairs. Now I just want to say something to Shangshu, you not only have Yan Ziyue as a child, but Yan Shangshu's love for the rest of you. The heirs should also take care of them more."

Yan Boyong's heart beat like a drum, and he quickly responded: "This is what should be done, what should be done."

Ji Song continued: "Today we are here for the shop. Since the shop has been used as Aning's dowry, please ask Shang Shu to be a witness so that we can take back the shop."

Hearing this, some of the students were surprised: "Ah? Could this shop belong to the Yan family? Ah, this..."

Yan Ziyue had just graduated from the Imperial College for a few months, and he was a man of the hour when he was studying.He has a good reputation and a good temper, and every classroom in the Imperial College has his followers.Yan Ziyue often bought the "Four Treasures of the Study" newly released by "Dianmo", and often brought people to the private room to discuss poetry and poetry, so students spent a lot of money in this shop.

It turns out that this shop is owned by the Yan family, Yan Ziyue is too dishonest, right?After buying so many of the Four Treasures of the Study from their family, it's fine if there is no discount for a penny. Yan Ziyue still hides it from his classmates to let his classmates know that the shop is his family's property.how?Is it because you are afraid that your classmates will ask him for a discount after they find out?

A student murmured in a low voice: "As expected of someone who came from the House of Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, even the money of my classmates will not be spared."

"That's right, it's no wonder that the four treasures of the study that are usually used are all the best ink. I don't think he feels sorry for it at all. It turns out that it belongs to his own family."

It doesn't hurt if you don't cut the knife. When the students learned that a little ink is the property of the Yan family, they didn't like Yan Boyong and his wife at the moment.

Reminiscent of what Yan Xining said just now, he is also the son of the Minister of the Household Department, Yan Zi is more and more generous, Yan Xining only has five pennies a month.In comparison, Yan Xining's life is extremely difficult.

Someone suddenly remembered something and said loudly: "I remember, when Princess Rong came to this shop, she couldn't even afford an inkstone and was kicked out by the shopkeeper! I was right there at the time, I remember it clearly!"

Everyone was in an uproar, so there is such a thing?

The key point is that it's his own shop, so it's fine if they don't give any discounts, and the servants in charge are Yan's family servants, who dare to speak ill to Yan Xining.

This... This is really deceptive.

They looked at the mistress of the Yan family and Yan Boyong gradually with strange eyes: "They also said that they would not favor one another, and they don't know what they are doing."

"With such a headed mistress, I wouldn't want to go home if it were me."

The corners of Ji Song's lips raised slightly. See, students who are inexperienced are always so easy to be provoked.As long as whoever stands on the moral high ground can flatten those who stand on the low ground to nothing.

Yan Zhang's suffering is hard to describe, how proud she was when she encouraged the students to scold Yan Xining for being unfaithful and unfilial, now she feels so uncomfortable.

Just now Yan Xining was wronged beyond words, Yan Zhang was forced to suffer unspeakably by Ji Song.

Ji Song lightly tapped on the armrest and smiled, seeing how this old godly woman would dare to make arrangements for his family, Aning.

The wind turned quickly, and the students were targeting Yan Xining.Now the spearhead has been aimed at the Yan family.Seeing this scene, Ji Song was very satisfied. He did not forget his purpose, so he lightly reminded: "Yan Shangshu, what do you think?"

How could Yan Boyong refute, he nodded again and again: "Just follow the prince's wishes."

With Yan Boyong around, the handover of the shop became extremely smooth.The accountant Mr. Ji Song brought in calculated the turnover during this period clearly. As much as Yan Zhang swallowed, he had to spit out honestly.

It’s not that I don’t know, but I’m taken aback when I calculate it. The net profit of “Dianmo” is more than 500 taels of silver a month.Hearing this number, even Ji Song raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.

The shop has changed owners, so the stewards of the Yan family can no longer manage the shop, and even the servants who sell goods in the shop have to go back to the Yan family together.

The whole process was very quiet, only the sound of Mr. Cashier's crackling and planning could be heard.

Yan Xining has just output high frequency, and now she has entered a state where no one wants to talk to her.He sat on the chair by the window and tilted his head to look at the scenery outside the window. He could feel someone looking at him, but he didn't want to talk.

Seeing that the handover of the shops was coming to an end, Ji Song reminded Yan Boyong with a smile: "Yan Shangshu, you have only taken over one shop for Aning so far, and we have not taken over other shops and Zhuangzi. Would you like us to make an appointment?" Take over one by one?"

Yan Boyong saluted shamelessly: "If Your Highness is relieved of the old minister, tomorrow the old minister will send the account book of Zhuangzi, the dowry shop, to the palace."

At that time, Yan Xining was promoted to celebrate the marriage, and he had already been greeted countless times by the old officials in the court.In order to make himself feel more balanced, he specially gave Yan Xining a lot of dowry, but he didn't expect that Mrs. Zhang would not hand in the shop behind his back... If this news gets out, there will be many reports of Yu Shi impeaching him when he goes to court tomorrow. .

Ji Song said with satisfaction: "In this way, there will be Shangshu Laoyan."

Yan Boyong made a big gift: "This matter is wrong, please forgive me."

By this time, the sun was almost setting.Yan Xining leaned against the window and lowered her eyes, the golden sunlight fell on him, casting a layer of gentle golden light on him.Ji Song couldn't help but be attracted by his princess, he squinted his eyes and looked at Yan Xining carefully, wanting to keep this scene in his mind forever.

Yan Xining didn't know that he had become the scenery in Ji Song's eyes, and he was depressed.

It's strange to say, after buffering for so long, what should be said is said, and the person who should be scolded is scolded, why is my heart still so blocked?What went wrong?Does the original owner have any unfulfilled wishes?

Yan Boyong slowed down before going out, he looked deeply at Yan Xining.Not knowing if he saw someone's shadow on him, he hesitated and said, "Xining..."

Hearing Yan Boyong call his name, Yan Xining frowned, he didn't want to have anything to do with Yan Boyong.However, he still raised his head and looked seriously at his nominal father.

Yan Boyong used to be a flower hunter in high school, and Yan's reputation as a flower hunter has been passed down for several years.Now that he is nearly sixty years old, he can still see the romantic and handsome past from him.Yan Shangshu sighed with complicated eyes: "I... am not a good father, I have wronged you all these years in the Yan family."

As soon as the words fell, Yan Xining seemed to be hit hard by something.His heart was sour and astringent, inexplicable grievances emerged uncontrollably, and the tears in his eyes gathered at an alarming rate.

It wasn't until then that Yan Xining realized that the original owner's body was still not relieved.

He was waiting for an apology, an apology from the person who abandoned him.

Yan Xining raised her eyes to look at the roof, trying to hold back the tears she wanted to shed: "Yes."

Yan Shangshu took a deep breath: "You look a lot like your mother. In this life, I have failed her and you for the sake of my future. Fortunately, you have found support now. Live happily for the rest of your life."

Yan Xining's birth was an accident, and now he has finally resolved the accident.Yan Shangshu felt relieved, relieved and also unspeakably melancholy.

Yan Xining lowered her head, and the tears in her eyes fell to the ground.He roared with a hoarse response: "You don't need to say, I will live well."

When meeting Yan Zhang in the Royal Garden, Yan Xining realized that the original owner's feelings still remained in his body.If he hadn't met Yan Zhangshi and Yan Boyong today, he wouldn't have known that this feeling could be so strong.

Yan Xining was sitting on the chair, tears were falling down like beads with a broken string, Ji Song felt very distressed watching it.Ji Song took out a handkerchief and wiped away Yan Xining's tears: "Cry, men don't flick their tears, but they don't reach the point of sadness, just cry."

Yan Xining cried so hard that she almost convulsed: "You don't understand..."

This feeling of being attacked by a gangster made him feel torn apart.His sanity was very clear, and he even kept telling himself: Don't cry, what is there to cry about, isn't this a good thing?However, his body didn't listen to him at all, and he was crying hard.

Yan Xining was still wondering why everyone around the original owner was crying.Now he understood that the original owner might also be a crying bag.If you have been crying for so long, why hasn't it stopped.

After finally waiting for the tears to stop, Yan Xining's eyes were already red from crying, he choked up and explained: "I didn't want to cry."

Ji Song smiled and held his hand: "It's okay." In front of him, Ah Ning no longer had to pretend to be strong.

In fact, he thought Aning was cute when he cried, and Aning with red eyes looked extremely fragile.It made him feel bad and wanted him to cry longer.

After Yan Xining calmed down, the two began to discuss the biggest problem now.

They came in a hurry, only thinking about closing the shop, and never thought about what to do next after closing the shop?If it continues to open, someone will need to manage the shop.However, Steward Leng has already held several positions, and if he is given a shop, Steward Leng's monkey face will be stretched into a horse's face.

After thinking for a while, Yan Xining said, "Why don't we close the shop first? Anyway, the Imperial College will have a field holiday and there won't be much business. Let's recruit some managers during this time?"

Ji Song nodded after thinking for a moment: "This is a good idea. But we must first determine what the shop will be used for in the future, so that it will be easier to recruit people."

Yan Xining has no experience in business: "I think it's good to sell the four treasures of the study next to the Imperial College. I just heard that the profit of this shop is 500 taels a month. I was shocked. Even if we have no experience, earning 200 taels a month is not bad. .”

Ji Song smiled: "You are right. The shops Yan Boyong gave are all profitable ones, and we don't need to change them."

Although Yan Boyong is an idiot, his ability to raise money is not comparable to that of ordinary people, otherwise he would not be able to sit in the position of Minister of the Household Department.Both Ji Song and Yan Xining are not good at management, so instead of wasting time and effort thinking about what to sell after taking over the shop, it is better to continue the previous business.

After discussing for a while, the two decided to do so.When Yan Xining stood up, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind: "Rong Chuan, I have an idea."

Ji Song responded, "What do you think?"

Yan Xining said: "The students in the Guozijian come from all states and counties in Chu and Liao. Not every student was born in a wealthy family. If Ian Mo opens the door again, I want to sell more cheap and decent quality stationery. If this is done, the shop may The money earned is not as good as before, but maybe it can help some students from poor families and solve some of their little difficulties. What do you think?"

The reason why he had this idea was because he had been favored by the school.After his father passed away, the family was impoverished, and he was admitted to university by virtue of his own strength.However, after paying the tuition fees, he really had no money.

At the critical moment, he explained his difficulties to the school, and the school arranged a work-study job for him.Every day he can go to the cafeteria to help. The uncles, aunts and leaders of the cafeteria take good care of him, let him do some light work, and the schedule is very flexible.

Relying on work-study programs and part-time jobs, he successfully graduated.Thinking about it now, he is still grateful to those who helped him when he was in trouble.

The original owner had stayed in the Guozijian before, and he knew how the poor students in the Guozijian lived.Although the original owner is no longer there, if he is still there, he will be willing to help others.

Ji Song's eyes lit up, and he looked Yan Xining up and down: "I think it's very good. I'll do as you want."

When Ji Song and the others finished their work and came down from the second floor, they found that the entrance of the shop was full of students.The students were crowded and seemed to have something to say.Ji Song asked in a gentle voice: "Students, what's the matter?"

After the leaders looked at each other a few times, one of them stood up.He bowed to Ji Song and Yan Xining: "His Royal Highness, student Lu Weizhong, I want to apologize to you two on behalf of my classmates."

Yan Xining was a little surprised, he and Ji Song looked at each other.

Lu Weizhong said sternly: "My concubine was right. We enjoyed peace in the Imperial College, but we forgot the soldiers who shed blood and sacrificed in the frontier. Without them, there would be no peace. Facing the soldiers who were born and died for us, we have not given you the basics. We are the ones who are unfaithful, filial, benevolent, and unrighteous. Please forgive us for our shallowness and ignorance."

Hearing this, Ji Song sat up slightly, "No problem."

Lu Weizhong looked at Yan Xining: "Heroes don't ask about their backgrounds. We know this truth very well, but we have not been able to unite our actions and knowledge. Compared with the princess who can face himself calmly, our thoughts are dirty, and the students are extremely ashamed. Please forgive me Our arrogance and vulgarity."

The students all bowed their hands in the direction of the two of them and saluted: "Please forgive us, His Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness, Princess Wang."

Yan Xining opened his mouth slightly, he didn't expect to receive an apology from the students before leaving.For a moment he had mixed feelings and didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, Ji Song was used to big scenes, so he clasped his fists in both hands and bowed back: "Students, you don't need to be too polite. A gentleman is knowledgeable and considerate of himself every day, so he knows that he can do nothing wrong. This king is very pleased."

After Lu Weizhong straightened his body, he looked at Yan Xining expectantly. They wanted to hear Yan Xining's answer.However, Yan Xining's mind was blank, and she hadn't broken free from the complicated emotions.

Ji Song laughed and said: "A-Ning is gentle and not good at words, he doesn't mean to blame everyone." So he repeated what Yan Xining said to him upstairs, and finally Ji Song concluded: "The field vacation is over, everyone I can see a new ink. I hope you will not let down the princess's wishes, and study hard to serve Chu Liao."

As soon as the words fell, the students were a little speechless.They didn't expect Princess Rong to even consider this kind of thing, and to be so considerate.How can someone who has not experienced such difficulties want to do it?

He was obviously bullied in the Imperial College, but he was able to repay hatred with kindness. These good students of the Imperial College... really couldn't compare to the concubine.

All the students took a deep breath, and they bowed deeply again.This time he was more willing than before: "Thank you, Princess!"
