Chapter 116
The second prince got the job of helping the imperial envoy as he wished. The next day he was given the sword of the emperor in the Golden Palace. He inspected Shandong on behalf of the emperor, comforted and helped the victims. Officials from all over the prefecture, prefecture, county, and county should cooperate.
At the same time, the imperial court's appointment of Jia Baoyu was also sent to Rongguo Mansion.
He temporarily took charge of the seventh-rank inspector of the Censorate and was also the deputy envoy of grain protection. He inspected Shandong with the relief commissioner, observed the disaster situation, compiled a memorial, and returned to the court to report.
It sounds like a heavy responsibility, but in fact it is just an "intern" who studies with her and then goes back to deliver the report.
Of course, not everyone has such internship opportunities.
Apart from him, only Ye Hao and him took the same errands.
Both of them are royal relatives and were promoted by the Grand Tutor.
Despite this, the people in the Jia family were shocked when they heard that Jia Baoyu was leaving Beijing and still went out to Beijing to do business with the imperial envoy!
Because Jia Baoyu didn't reveal any news before, he suddenly heard about this, so why didn't they worry?
Jia Zheng was fine, but he knew a little about Jia Baoyu's performance in Shangshu's study and the Grand Tutor's Mansion, which was not particularly surprising.
However, the behavior of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang was out of control, so they asked Jia Zheng to go to court to refuse his job.
After being told by Jia Zheng politely that this was the emperor's order, he could not refuse, and he thought of calling Jia Baoyu to pretend to be sick...
Jia Baoyu was also helpless. After trying hard to say all the good things, predicting that all the results were good, he reluctantly persuaded him to stop.
Then he realized what happened that many loving mothers have lost their sons since ancient times.
Not willing to let him have any risks, but...
Fortunately, I didn't tell them before, otherwise this training opportunity that Ye Qiong carefully arranged would have been destroyed by them.
There is no need to explain the noise and chaos in Rongqing Hall that night. In short, Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang finally reluctantly agreed to let Jia Baoyu leave the capital.
Of course, various advice and explanations are inevitable. Jia Baoyu has repeatedly guaranteed that he must come back with all his heart. Only then did Jia Mu and others have a smile on their faces, and asked Jia Baoyu to go back and rest earlier.
Baochai suddenly spoke as Jia Baoyu left Rongqing Hall, "This is the first time Brother Bao is serious and he has to stay away from the capital. Everything is the best. Don't let us... worry the elders in the family."
Jia Baoyu looked up and under the light, Baochai looked solemn under her beautiful face. However, Jia Baoyu still saw a hint of care and worry in her eyes.
Jia Baoyu felt warm in his heart and said, "I understand, Sister Bao."
"Yes." Baochai nodded, stopped talking, gave a slight politeness, and then turned to Mrs. Wang's courtyard.
It was getting late and her mother was still in Mrs. Wang's courtyard, so she needed to go back with her mother.
"You guys go back too."
After Baochai left, Jia Baoyu looked at him Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun again with equal concern.
The three of them responded, said a simple concern, and then went back to the house.
I have said a lot of extra words before, so there is no need to repeat them at this time.
......
No words all night.
When he woke up the next morning, Jia Baoyu dressed up and put on his official robe. Then, under the maids' tears and reluctant eyes, he left Jiangyunxuan.
Because it was very early, Jia Baoyu didn't want to seduce Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and others' tears, so he only asked the maids to inform him and set off on horseback.
Jia Baoyu and Ye Hao agreed to meet outside the Ye Mansion and go to the Taicang warehouse together.
Taicang is the warehouse of the national treasury in the capital, mainly divided into granaries and money warehouses.
During this disaster relief in Shandong, the imperial court planned to allocate 8,000 stones of grain from Taicang. The remaining grain will be collected by local governments and state government warehouses after the relief envoy arrives at the local area.
Jia Baoyu and Ye Hao were responsible for the deputy to escort the escort officer who was escort and escort the 8,000 stones of grain.
The grain escort officer is a minister of the Ministry of Revenue, with his surname Wang and his name is Zhen.
He is not tall and has a thin face. He is an old man who looks very calm.
He did not make things difficult for Jia Baoyu and the others, but did not arrange tasks for the two of his nominal deputy dolls, but just asked them to watch from the side.
"Hey, Jia Xiaowazi!"
Jia Baoyu, who was standing with Ye Qiong, was watching how Wang Zhen arranged for the staff and how he arranged for the husband to carry the food onto the carriage and frowned when he heard this.
In his impression, it seemed that only a few old immortals who were close friends with Rongguo Mansion, and Jia Baoyu secretly called him "a family of soldiers and bandits".
Looking back, it wasn't exactly what it was.
A general with a big and thick shoulder, big waist, round waist, and black armor, and a look of the world's number one look, walked towards him with a big stride.
Jia Baoyu knew how these "vulgar martial artists" greeted him, so he quickly bent down to salute before the other party's thick and powerful palm patted his shoulder:
"My nephew has met Uncle Xie Shi."
Xie Jing, a guerrilla general in the Beijing camp, was hereditary second-class baron, and his grandfather was the Marquis of Dingcheng, a founding country.
Like his grandfather, he is a real warrior...
"Hahaha, Jia Xiaowazi, you are still so literary. I have told you a long time ago that our noble family will always learn the skills of those scammers and literati. Follow me, Uncle Shi teaches you how to play with a knife and go to battle to kill the enemy. Wouldn't it be nice to have a happy time?"
Xie Jing didn't mind Jia Baoyu avoiding his bear hug, but he still taught him as usual.
Rongguo Mansion and Dingcheng Marquis' Mansion are family friends, and the two families are close friends. Once, Jia Zheng took Jia Baoyu to Dingcheng Marquis' Mansion for a banquet. Somehow he fell into the eyes of the slutty man and shouted that he would teach him how to practice swordsmanship...
"Thank you for your good intentions. But my nephew is born dull. I'm afraid he can't play with a knife and can't kill the enemy. This kind of great cause of traveling to the battlefield and defending the country is still left to a hero like Uncle Shi to do it. My nephew can only cheer for Uncle Shi from behind."
Jia Baoyu said embarrassedly.
I don’t know if this old man Xie is pretending. In short, his “vulgar” attitude is much more prosperous than that of ordinary generals.
Jia Baoyu had to follow his hair.
Sure enough, Jia Baoyu's words made Xie Jing much happier and no longer cause trouble for Jia Baoyu.
Jia Baoyu took the opportunity to ask, "I wonder why Uncle Shi is here?"
"Yeah, it's not a bad guy, I'm just calling me... Well, I'm asking me to take a thousand Beijing camp guards to Shandong. Jia Xiaowazi, do you think this is not a bad guy?"
So that's it, Jia Baoyu understood.
Eight thousand stones of grain are not particularly large, but it is definitely not a small amount.
When it entered the disaster area again, the court had to consider safety issues. It was not outrageous to allocate a thousand officers and soldiers to guard it.
It seems that Xie Jing is the leader of the guards of the soldiers on this trip.
Xie Jing didn't care what Jia Baoyu was thinking. He photographed Jia Baoyu, and ignored Ye Hao next to him, and said directly: "What does it mean to be here? Let's go, Uncle Shi will take you to the barracks outside the city to see the mighty men under Uncle Shi's command. Maybe you may change your mind or not."
Wang Zhen came over and heard this sentence. His face suddenly became unpleasant and said:
"General Xie is responsible for the security of disaster relief food. He should understand the overview of the eight thousand stones of grain he is responsible for. He occupies a total of mule carts and horse carts, and how many miles apart they are connected to the end. Only after he goes back can he formulate a corresponding guard plan. How can he leave without taking a look?"
Xie Jing glanced at him and said disdainfully: "When I marched and fought, you don't know where to study! It's common for escorting food and grass in the army. Is this general a mere 8,000 stones of food? Can I know how much I have? I still have to teach me?"
"you!"
Wang Zhen almost fell down when he heard this.
Although Xie Jing's grade is higher than him, he is the grain escort officer on this trip. Regarding the rules, Xie Jing has to obey his orders. He didn't expect this guy to give him a good face in public.
