Chapter 113: Good People

(T/L NOTE: Everyone thank the buyers of {240+} chapters, that you got to read these bonus chapters!)

There are four types of people in Zhen Mansion, and these four types of people have different reactions to Ye Shuo’s departure.

It’s just like the old Duke Zhen, who was on guard every day against his grandson suddenly attacking him. Now that the time has come and his grandson is finally leaving, the old Duke Zhen actually subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. You know, this is the grandson he has been waiting for for so long!

The old Duke of Zhen finally understood why the emperor felt overwhelmed. The child was too naughty and it was really tiring.

Looking at Mrs. Wei and several aunts were reluctant to let him leave.

Madam Wei returned from the palace two days ago. Although the emperor had agreed, she still wanted to avoid gossip from others. Madam Wei didn’t stay in the palace for long. She suppressed her reluctance to leave her daughter and granddaughter, and returned after only ten days.

When Mrs. Wei first saw her grandson, she loved him very much.

In the eyes of Madam Wei and several aunts, Ye Shuo is a good-looking, sweet-spoken, caring and sensible child. Who would reject such a lovely child?

The most important thing is that he is very good at chatting with people. No matter what the topic is, whether it is family matters or matters related to store management, he will not be impatient like his uncles and cousins.

As a result, over the past few days, Mrs. Wei and his aunts became more and more dissatisfied with their husbands and children.

They are both men, why is there such a big difference?

Others are considerate in every way, but my own man can never get to the point, and gets angry and looks silly when he talks.

As for Ye Shuo’s uncles and cousins, they felt that their nephew/little cousin had been here for so many days but had learned nothing. They thought that their father/grandfather was really something. There should be a limit to spoiling a child. As a result, such a good opportunity was wasted.

But they really couldn’t resist and were afraid of being beaten, so they didn’t dare to say a word from beginning to end. When their nephew/cousin was about to leave, they finally reacted and were quickly overwhelmed by guilt.

If only they had been braver.

Especially Wei Zhao and Wei Ping, they clearly knew that their little cousin was stupid, but instead of helping him, they just stood by and watched.

Next time, next time I will never do this again!

“Little cousin, I stole this from my grandfather’s room. Take it to the palace.” While no one was paying attention, Wei Zhao secretly stuffed a book into Ye Shuo’s arms.

Ye Shuo took a quick glance and thought it should be something like a boxing manual.

Afraid of being noticed by his grandfather, Wei Zhao lowered his voice: “Remember to practise hard after you get to the palace!”

Although this boxing manual may not be of much use to my little cousin’s brain, at least it can prevent him from falling down with just one push the next time he encounters a situation like that of Zheng.

These cousins ​​of Ye Shuo may not be smart enough and often cause trouble for the family, but they are really simple and kind, and they will treat their family members well in their own way.

This is probably the reason why Wei Wen can never let go of these younger brothers.

“Thank you, fifth cousin.” Ye Shuo did not refuse, but looked at him with excitement and moved eyes.

Sure enough, Wei Zhao felt extremely satisfied in his heart all of a sudden.

However, Wei Zhao didn’t feel happy for long before he was pulled out by his eldest brother and thrown aside.

Wei Zhao wanted to resist, but as soon as his eyes met his eldest brother’s cold face, his whole body immediately became limp.

Under the pressure of Wei Wen’s eyes, Wei Zhao left in disappointment.

“…You’ve almost done that.” Perhaps they had reached a preliminary consensus that everyone was in an equal cooperative relationship, and since they were relatives, Wei Wen no longer called him “Your Highness” all the time.

Looking at his little cousin who was playing tricks on his father, uncles and cousins, Wei Wen couldn’t help but grit his teeth.

This group of people… He didn’t know what to say. Didn’t they know why his wife/mother suddenly disliked him these days? ?

But Wei Wen didn’t come here to talk about these things. He had something serious to ask Ye Shuo. He had to ask clearly in advance, otherwise, when his little cousin entered the palace, he didn’t know when he would be able to come out.

Wei Wen made a long story short: “The plan you mentioned to go to sea is probably not going to work.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

If you want to go out to sea and travel across the ocean, you must first build a large ship that can withstand the wind and waves. It’s not that the Duke’s Mansion cannot build such a large ship, but the cost is too high and the noise is too loud, which will inevitably attract the attention of others.

It would be bad if His Majesty knew about this.

Wei Wen considered for a long time and decided to reject him.

But in fact, Ye Shuo knew it in his heart and didn’t hold out much hope. Since the plan of going out to sea to dig potatoes was not feasible for the time being, he could only think of other ways.

“Then you should try to find such a place.” The place that Ye Shuo was referring to was naturally Champa in his previous life.

Even if there are no potatoes with a short growth cycle and high yield, Champa rice that can be harvested twice a year will do.

If there is Champa in this world, if there is no Champa, then we can only try our luck in places with similar climates, but it may take a long time.

“This is a matter of great importance. The people you send out must be reliable.” Even if they succeed in finding it, they cannot just transport it back. After all, food will be their biggest trump card.

The people sent out may not come back in a short period of time, and they will most likely have to stay there, so Ye Shuo said the words “must be reliable”.

“It doesn’t need to be a lot, about seven or eight people will be enough. They don’t need to do much, as long as they can keep in touch at any time. Too many people will make things worse.” If there are too many people, there will be more concerns. If there are too few people, nothing can be accomplished and no trouble will arise.

Seeing his little cousin speaking with such certainty, as if he had seen it with his own eyes, Wei Wen couldn’t help but feel curious about where he knew so much.

However, Wei Wen was a smart man and naturally knew what to ask and what not to ask.

How did my cousin know this? As long as it is useful, it’s fine.

Seeing this scene, Wei Wen couldn’t help but want to make a joke: “You leave all the things to me, aren’t you afraid that I might have problems?”

This is just the beginning, just some basic things. Since Ye Shuo dares to take it out, there is no need to worry that he will take it for himself.

Just the teaching materials written by Ye Shuo are modern things after all. Even a genius cannot understand them just by reading them once. A lot of problems in the future will still need to be solved by Ye Shuo. Otherwise, even if the things are given out, they will just be waste paper.

Even one formula in it may represent the life of a great man. It would be extremely difficult to verify it yourself without the guidance of someone who knows it and without taking shortcuts.

Although Ye Shuo will not show up directly, he still serves as a teacher.

It would be fine if it were applied to modern times, but if it were applied to ancient times, the phrase “respecting teachers and honouring learning” was not just empty talk.

Even if Wei Wen really has that ability, Ye Shuo is not worried.

Whatever he gave out, he had the ability to take back.

So Ye Shuo just said: “You can give it a try.”

Seeing that his little cousin really didn’t seem to care, Wei Wen immediately understood that this might be just the tip of the iceberg.

There is more hidden behind him that he doesn’t know about.

Wei Wen’s expression couldn’t help but change slightly.

Just like that, Ye Shuo got on the carriage amid Wei Wen’s doubtful expression and returned to the palace.

There was also a small episode outside the palace that Ye Shuo didn’t know about, and that was the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor, Liang Wenyin.

Liang Wenyin had been thinking about contacting the Ninth Prince last year, but unfortunately the Imperial Concubine suddenly became pregnant, so the Ninth Prince stayed in the palace for nearly a year before returning.

After waiting for a long time for him to leave the palace, Liang Wenyin finally received the news, but by then Ye Shuo had already gone to the Duke’s mansion.

I don’t know when he will come out next time.

She is already seventeen years old this year, and her marriage can be postponed until she is eighteen at most. As the days go by, Liang Wenyin has gradually gotten rid of the idea of ​​relying on others, from being restless at the beginning and hoping that the Ninth Prince can give her an accurate answer.

Liang Wenyin suddenly realised that no one could help her make decisions for her whole life, not even the Ninth Prince.

You are the only one who can decide your own life.

Soon, Liang Wenyin made a decision in her heart.

The other side.

Seeing the prosperous scenes in Shangjing City getting farther and farther away, Ye Shuo felt so reluctant to leave that it was beyond words.

Alas, happy days are always so short.

The first thing Ye Shuo wanted to do when he returned to the palace was to go back to Qiuwu Palace to find his mother. He missed her so much after not seeing her for half a month.

result…

As soon as Ye Shuo started to take a step, he was stopped by the eunuch: “Ninth Prince, the emperor sent a servant here to ask you to come over.”

Well, my cheap dad is here to check the results.

It turns out that the King of Volumes’ thinking is not good. No matter what you do, you must gain something.

But Ye Shuo was not weak either. After all, he was really studying seriously this time. This time, Ye Shuo was not weak at all.

When Ye Shuo arrived, Emperor Jingwen had a rare moment of free time and had done nothing serious. He was playing chess and chatting with the Crown Prince and Prime Minister He.

You see, this is the only fun in being an emperor every day.

As expected, the moment Emperor Jingwen saw Ye Shuo, he asked, “How do you feel about staying at your grandfather’s house for so long?”

“In reply to your Majesty, I think it’s great.” Ye Shuo looked like he had discovered a new world.

“My grandmother and aunts are very kind to me. They bring me food and fun things every day. My grandfather also practises martial arts with me and teaches me moves. Also, my uncles and cousins ​​will not bully me, especially my eldest cousin. He is also very kind to me. Whenever I encounter difficulties, he will help me from time to time…”

With his cousin around, Ye Shuo didn’t know how much less to worry about. Thinking of this, his cousin was really a very good person!

“This son suddenly realised that the generals were not as rude as he imagined. Although my grandfather’s hands were a little strong, he was very patient with me.”

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and the more he talked about the advantages of the Duke of Zhen’s family, it seemed that Ye Shuo didn’t notice the changes in Prime Minister He and the Prince’s expressions at all.

Prime Minister He was almost stunned by the Ninth Prince’s words.

He…this…oh, forget it.

After hearing this, the prince couldn’t help but start winking at his brother.

The prince believed that his father sent Xiaojiu to the Duke of Zhen’s Mansion in order to ease the relationship between Xiaojiu and the Duke of Zhen’s Mansion, but now… is it a bit too much?

Ye Shuo said whatever he wanted to say. It was his first time at his grandfather’s house and it was definitely better than he had imagined.

Now that he’s well, why can’t I praise him?

“Father, I really, really like my grandfather. I think he’s a really good man.”

…over.

Hearing these words, Prime Minister He and the Crown Prince almost closed their eyes at the same time.

This time, Emperor Jingwen couldn’t help himself and slowly put down the chess piece in his hand.
