Rebirth, guarding the mute at the tip of my heart

Jiang Xin's face darkened. He glared at Xie Ze fiercely, then walked past a guy who didn't consider the occasion and went downstairs.

Xie Ze touched his nose and followed closely behind his little study partner, pretending to be well behaved. However, the corners of his mouth that were almost raised to the sky had already betrayed him.

Well, although he shouldn’t make Ashin angry, he really likes Ashin when he loses his temper at him.

Jiang Xin didn't know what his prince was thinking, otherwise he would really ignore him for a whole day. Well, he could only be angry with his prince for a day at most, and he couldn't bear to be angry for more than a day.

They had missed each other for a lifetime before finally being together. Although the future was still long, he cherished every day.

Feeling depressed but reluctant to get angry, Jiang Xin sighed quietly and went downstairs. He saw the person the shopkeeper said he was looking for, a soldier from the Ministry of War.

Jiang Xin paused, then stepped forward and asked, "But is there something wrong with the weapons battalion?"

Jiang Xin and Xie Ze are both members of the Ministry of War now, and Xie Ze is the boss of the Ministry of War. If there is any major event, the other party will definitely report it to Xie Ze first. However, now that they specifically ask for him, it should be something in the weapons camp.

However, the visitor just shook his head, saluted the two men and said, "It's not the weapons camp, but two people just came to the Ministry of War to look for you, but you are not here.

They left a message saying they were servants of the Lu Mansion and that General Lu had asked you to return to the Lu Mansion as soon as possible."

Because General Lu was Mr. Jiang's grandfather, and the two men spoke in a hurry, he was worried that it might be something important. After thinking about it, he took the initiative to make this trip.

Of course, it was impossible to tell the two servants to come on their own. His Highness and Young Master Jiang were inseparable. If he disclosed the prince's whereabouts without permission, and something happened, he would definitely not be able to take the responsibility.

Fortunately, Mr. Jiang said yesterday that he wanted to go to the bookstore to take a look. Since he was not coming to the Weapon Camp today, he came here on his own initiative.

Jiang Xin was stunned when he heard this. Before he could speak, he heard Xie Ze sneer and said bluntly, "He is really thick-skinned."

After what he said yesterday, anyone with a bit of dignity would probably be embarrassed to appear in front of Ashin. This old General Lu is really not an ordinary person.

Jiang Xin did not expect that General Lu would actually send people to find the Ministry of War. At least in his previous life, such a thing had never happened. The only difference was that when General Lu left yesterday, he knew that he was the one who made the Tianji Crossbow.

Jiang Xin felt a surge of anger and sadness for no reason. He had always wanted to see his relatives in his previous life. Could it be that only successful and profitable grandchildren were considered grandchildren? If he had nothing, would he not even be qualified to see them?

Thinking of this, Jiang Xin just turned cold and said indifferently: "In the future, if someone from the Lu Mansion comes over, you don't have to pay attention to them."

When the soldier saw the expressions of the two men, he thought to himself that it was bad, and immediately straightened his back and said, "Yes! I know what to do."

After saying that, the soldier paused, looked at Jiang Xin's expression and reminded him in a low voice: "I did not tell those two where the young master is living now, but if General Lu is determined to investigate, I'm afraid he won't be able to keep it a secret for long..."

Although no one knew what kind of conflict there was between the young master and General Lu, others might not know what kind of person Young Master Jiang was, but the people in the Ministry of War knew him very well.

Young Master Jiang had always been polite to these soldiers, so how could he rush to have a conflict with General Lu for no reason? If there was a problem, it must be someone from the Lu family!

Jiang Xin didn't know what the soldier was thinking, so he thanked him for the reminder and let him go back.

But he was not too worried. He just didn't want to bother with the Lu family anymore, but he was not afraid of them.

After all, they had not had any contact for more than ten years, and there was no relationship between him and the Lu family. He just felt guilty towards his mother who gave him life but died because of him, and did not want to have any conflict with the Lu family.

"Then you should go back to the palace and live there for the next few days, so as to avoid the troubles of the Lu family." Xie Ze pulled his Ah Xin's hand and said with concern: "If they dare to come to the palace to look for you, that's great, my martial arts field is still short of a few practitioners."

"..." Jiang Xin's complex and melancholy heart turned into speechlessness under his highness's secret thoughts, and he glanced at him coldly.

Xie Ze said with a stern face, "I just don't want to see them bothering you. Living in the palace will give you some peace and quiet. Anyway, your room is always reserved."

Jiang Xin was silent for a moment, walked around His Highness, and decided to leave quietly through the back door.

"Ah Xin." Seeing Ah Xin ignoring him, Xie Ze became anxious and hurriedly followed him. He sighed and said, "Forget it, I was just joking. Don't ignore me."

Jiang Xin paused, then walked out of the back door quickly without looking back, saying, "Send Ah Fu back and tell him that we don't need to have dinner. We're staying at the palace today and won't be back."

Xie Ze was stunned for a moment, then immediately caught up with the man, holding his study partner's hand, and said with a smile as he walked, "Ah Xin."

"Hmm?" Jiang Xin pretended to be serious with a stern face.

"The way you gave orders just now was especially like the mistress of a house!" Xie Ze looked at him with her head slightly lowered, also speaking seriously.

Jiang Xin: “…”

"Well, I was wrong. I really have the style of a master!" Xie Ze changed his words tactfully. Then he couldn't help but lower his head and whispered in his Ah Xin's ear: "I always listen to our Ah Xin."

“…Shut up!” The more I listen, the more I can’t stand it!

While the young couple was playing and fooling around, the "Capital Monthly" had already spread out at the fastest speed.

In just one day, all the well-informed people in the capital had heard that a bookstore had published a new issue of the popular "Capital Monthly".

Originally, when they heard it was a book, some people who were not interested in reading decided not to listen to it anymore, but!

What?! This monthly report actually contains the love history written by His Royal Highness the Wise King?! The girls who are interested in the dialogue book said they must buy it!

This monthly newspaper also contains the autobiography of the current top scholar?! Scholars who are interested in the imperial examination said how could they not buy it?!

This monthly report even contains a true story about the magistrate of Feng County oppressing the people, and the imperial envoy being so absorbed in solving a case that he drew his sword and executed the magistrate. Who could resist buying this?!

However, no matter how much I wanted to buy it, it was useless. I heard that the bookstore that didn’t know how to do business actually announced that this monthly newspaper was limited to a maximum of 100 copies, and they were all sold out!

This is too much! Do they need this little money?

A group of people got the news and went to the bookstore, but found it empty-handed. They shouted indignantly at the door for a long time, so much so that the shopkeeper had to come out wiping his sweat and explain that this was a newly published book, and the first hundred copies were just to test the waters. He had already suggested that the owner quickly find a way to print more copies, and hoped that everyone would wait a few more days.

"How many more days is too much?!" a man dressed as a scholar asked anxiously.

That is the experience of the top scholar. The earlier you can read it, the sooner you will be inspired and gain something from it!

Others have the same idea. Even if they don’t read the top scholar’s ​​article, they still want to read the gossip!

"This... has not been decided yet..." said the shopkeeper embarrassedly.

Everyone booed immediately, wishing they could drag the owner of the shop out and threaten him to print more copies, but they didn't dare to. They could only beat their chests and stamp their feet, regretting not coming earlier.

At this moment, a voice appeared in the crowd: "I have the "Beijing Monthly" that I just bought this morning. It costs five taels of silver. Who wants it?"

Shopkeeper: “…” Wow, the money doubled in just half a day!

"I want it!" The scholar who had asked the question just now raised his hand immediately, and with his other hand he quickly took out five taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to the person who made the offer.

The man was also straightforward. After receiving the silver, he gave the monthly report to the man and left happily.

Anyway, he has read the monthly report, and he is not one of those bookish scholars who needs to keep it for careful reading. It is not bad to make a profit from the difference!

Everyone was stunned for a moment before they realized what had just happened. They were annoyed again. Why didn't they think of it? The bookstore was sold out. Someone else had it. At most, they could just raise the price.

Shopkeeper: “…” There are actually people buying it!

"I have one here too." Seeing that there was profit to be made, someone quickly took out the "Capital Monthly" he had just hidden and shouted loudly.

"I have one too!"

"I want!"

"I also want!"

"Brother, can you and I buy one together? I'll just copy one."

"it is good!"

"..."

After most of the day, the price of "Capital Monthly" had risen to fifty taels, and there were still people willing to buy it. Some people didn't want to waste their money, but were eager to know what was in it, so they spent a few taels of silver to read it with others, which was not a bad choice.

However, Yuan Jiang couldn't possibly share a copy with others. He really couldn't help but want to see what was written on it, so he had no choice but to buy one at a high price.

You know, there have never been any monthly or daily reports in his previous life. He has been with Xie Ze for so long, but he never knew that the other party had such a brain to come up with such a thing.

When he thought of the one hundred taels of silver he had just spent, his heart ached so much that it bled.

During this period, some of the plans he proposed had caused the Second Prince to hit a wall. It was not known whether Xie Ze had found out anything. Now he was relentless in pursuing the Second Prince's clan, and often scolded the Second Prince's people in the court when he was unhappy.

The Second Prince was filled with rage, and now he took his anger out on him, cutting his monthly salary by 70%.

That would have been fine, but in order to deal with Jiang Xin, he even specially called Lu Wuliang over, thinking that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and maybe he would be able to use this person in the future.

Who would have thought that this useless bastard, who didn't even help at all, had to spend a lot of money on him. He had to see a doctor for his leg injury that recurred, and he had to buy calligraphy books to practice calligraphy...

He has been banned from taking the exam permanently, so what else does he need to practice?! I have never seen such an annoying loser!

But no matter how unhappy he was, in order to not give Jiang Xin trouble in the future, he still kept this person. This made his finances, which were already tight recently, even tighter.

This hundred taels of silver, it can be said that he saved it from the cracks of his fingers. That bastard who took advantage of the fire actually said that he was not a good person because he covered his head and face, and directly asked him for double the price! If others were not unwilling to sell...

The more Yuan Jiang thought about it, the angrier he became. He spread out the newspaper with a gloomy face. He wanted to see what was written in it...

However, after just opening the first page and reading only five lines, Yuan Jiangze was so angry that he tore the page into pieces. How could this be a serious article?

It was clearly a love letter from Xie Ze to Jiang Xin! How could something like this be printed and sold?! Why?!

Yuan Jiang was so jealous that he almost went crazy, but after a while, he couldn't help bending down to piece together the torn pieces. He suppressed his nausea and anger and finished reading the article, and then he fell into a trance.

He never knew that Xie Ze could be such a delicate person. Why could such a person only see Jiang Xin?

*

November 15th, today might be a festival related to breaking defenses. In addition to Yuan Jiangze, there was also a person living in the Lu Mansion on another street who was so angry that he smashed everything he could at hand.

"You can't even find anyone and you can't even pass a message. What's the point of keeping you in the Lu Mansion?!" General Lu said with a cold face and no expression.

"Master, please forgive me!" The two men knelt down immediately and said tremblingly, "We have tried our best. We followed your instructions and went to the Ministry of War first, but the people in the Ministry of War said that Lord Jiang had taken a leave of absence today and would not come.

We went to the former residence of the Minister of Justice. Now the residence is ruled by the Third Young Master of the Jiang family, but he is studying in the academy and has not returned yet. Others in the residence do not know where Lord Jiang lives now..."

"Didn't you ask someone from the Ministry of War to pass on the message? Logically speaking, it's been a long time now, and the messenger should have been there long ago. Jiang Xin must have known everything, so why hasn't he come to the Lu Mansion yet, and hasn't sent anyone to pass on the message? But you didn't make it clear?!"

The two servants immediately kowtowed and cried, "Please understand, sir, we definitely conveyed your meaning verbatim, but we don't know whether the person who delivered the message made it clear..."

In fact, what they wanted to say was that even if Jiang Xin received General Lu’s original words, it didn’t mean that he would be willing to come!

After asking all the way back, they finally knew how powerful Lord Jiang was now. Why would such a talented and capable person, who was so favored by the wise king, come here to please a grandfather who had not cared about him for many years?

What's more, it's not Jiang Xin who wants to see the master, but the master who wants to see Jiang Xin. If the master really wants to see him, he should find out Jiang Xin's address and go and invite him personally. Let them pass on the message casually. They are not a very close relationship, so who would care about him!
