Rebirth, guarding the mute at the tip of my heart

Jiang Xin ran to Xie Ze breathlessly, and held out his dirty hand to Xie Ze. In his palm was a piece of dirty glass that had just been baked, but his face was filled with excitement and joy: "Your Highness, do it, do it!"

The crowd that had just run to the closest position to the two of them pricked up their ears: "..."

Did, did it?! Your Highness did it?! What did they do? What did their prince do? Who did he do?!

You little scholar, please explain yourself clearly!

The soldiers, whose worldviews were shattered, kept thinking in their minds, Wow! They thought their prince was a bachelor who had never gotten wise, but they didn't expect that this guy was so powerful when he was carrying them on his back? !

They were all single, rough men who had fought together outside, but when they returned to the capital, this boss secretly made a qualitative leap. How could he do that? !

What they didn't know was that this little scholar with strong words was actually just a little mute who had just learned to speak. What he really meant was: [Your Highness, the glass is made! ]

Poor Jiang Xin, he tried very hard to accept other people's strange looks and insisted on talking more. The result of practicing more was that his image became more and more weird in the eyes of those who didn't know him.

Xie Ze didn't know what his men were thinking. Seeing Jiang Xin's excitement, he smiled gently and said, "I know that Ah Xin will succeed."

Jiang Xin blushed a little embarrassedly. He didn't know why, but his Highness always had a mysterious confidence in him, always feeling that he could easily solve any problem, no matter how difficult it was.

In fact, he was really stupid. He failed the scholar examination several times and knew nothing about poetry and essays. The teacher even told him to his face that he was not cut out for it.

His father also said that he was a useless person and the dumbest one in the Jiang family.

Jiang Xin thought secretly in his heart but smiled happily on his face. He liked His Highness praising him and didn't want His Highness to know his stupid side.

"..." This was the first time I saw my boss being so gentle and friendly. It was as if he was afraid of scaring the little scholar. It would be strange if there were no ghosts when he spoke so softly! ——This was the thought of a soldier who had a wild imagination and complained about his boss's unsatisfied desires.

Everyone was also shocked by their boss's appearance, and quietly asked the deputy general Jiao Sicong: "Brother Jiao, who is this little scholar? Why is our boss so nice to him?"

Is he a young scholar? He is dressed elegantly and looks frail, just like the frail scholars in their impression.

This reminded them of something. The eldest brother had always refused the emperor's marriage proposal. Could it be that the real reason was that he liked... men?

"Oh, that's our prince's study partner, the eldest son of the Minister of Justice, Jiang Xin." Jiao Sicong had been to the prince's mansion several times. He was obviously used to the fact that his prince seemed like a different person every time he faced Jiang Xin. He said as if he was used to it.

Everyone: "..." Are you kidding? ! Which serious prince is so attentive to his study partner, personally going up to greet him and smiling so... ugh!

Perhaps because the gaze was too explicit, Jiang Xin subconsciously turned around, and seeing so many people staring at him strangely, he shrank his neck nervously and leaned slightly towards his prince.

These people are a little bit strange.

Seeing that these guys had stopped and were still using such weird looks to scare Ah Xin, Xie Ze immediately shouted angrily: "Did I tell you to stop?! All of you run ten more laps!"

"...Yes!" The soldiers who were punished again looked at Xie Ze with resentment, and immediately lost interest in gossip, and continued running dejectedly.

"They are all my soldiers, don't be afraid." After Xie Ze yelled at them, he lowered his head slightly and explained to Jiang Xin: "We recovered the land in the southern region before, and brought them to the capital to reward them. The army is temporarily stationed here, and your majesty knows it."

When Jiang Xin heard that these soldiers were the heroes who had made great contributions in the Southern Region with his highness, he curiously stuck his head out to take a look, but was then pushed back by his highness.

Jiang Xin: “?”

Seeing the puzzled look in his little study partner's eyes, Xie Ze said seriously: "They are all big, strong-limbed, simple-minded guys, and Jiao Sicong will take them back to the South Territory to guard it in a few days, so there is no need to get to know them better."

I don't know which bastard in the army started it. He didn't want his clothes to be stained with sweat, so he developed the habit of training shirtless every day, and passed this bad habit to other people in the army.

Now these guys are running shirtless and sweating profusely, but Ah Xin is still watching them so intently. If he had known earlier, he would have sent these guys to the South Region earlier.

The innocent soldiers who were targeted by anger: “…”

"It's dusty here, and these rough guys don't take a bath all year round. The smell is strong. Let's go somewhere else." Not wanting his study partner to pay extra attention to others, Xie Ze slandered his subordinates without blushing or beating his heart.

The soldiers: "..." Who is this referring to?

Jiang Xin didn't know what his highness was thinking. He nodded happily after hearing what Xie Ze said: "Go, go to the workshop! Show your highness my glass!" [Go to your highness's workshop and show your highness the glass I made! ]

"..." Everyone who was running staggered upon hearing this and almost fell flat on their face!

"My" what do you mean by "for His Highness to see"? Explain clearly! If you go out and talk like this, you will really be beaten to death, don't you know!

You did it, and you wanted to show His Highness a kind of obscure, unspeakable "circles and crosses". What on earth do you two want to do?! You can't wait to go to the palace, but you want to go directly to the workshop?!

Do you know that you will be harmonized if you do this? !

Fortunately, Xie Ze didn’t know what these guys with brains full of garbage were thinking, otherwise he would definitely make them run in circles to death today!

Xie Ze took the colored glass stone that Jiang Xin had been persistently trying to give him, and smiled: "Okay, let's go and see the colorful colored glass made by Ah Xin himself."

"..."So you went to see the glass made by the young scholar, why were you talking so ambiguously?

Everyone rolled their eyes in tacit agreement, and after the boss and his men left, they looked towards the door and started discussing the matter.

"Something's wrong." A soldier touched his chin and commented meaningfully.

"Something is extremely wrong." Another soldier echoed with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Your Highness and this little study partner are not simple. Absolutely, they are not simple!" The soldier, who was very good at imagining, made the final decision.

"You're all full and have nothing to do, right?" Jiao Sicong kicked the people who expressed their opinions one by one, and said unhappily:

"I told you he's just a study companion. His family situation is a bit complicated. Anyway, the prince is full of sympathy and is willing to lend him a hand to make his life easier at home in the future."

"...Oh." Everyone responded perfunctorily while running.

Sympathy is overflowing. Does their prince have sympathy? It doesn't exist, okay? The deputy general's emotional intelligence is really worrying!

*

"Your Highness, this!" Jiang Xin excitedly showed Xie Ze the pieces of colored glaze that had been refined in the workshop. He also patiently explained the time it took to make the colored glaze and the problems encountered during the process.

It was a pity that his language ability was not as good as his thinking ability. He stumbled for a long time but couldn't come up with a clear idea. The craftsman who was working with him couldn't stand it anymore, so he took the initiative to step forward and take over the work: "Master Jiang, Your Majesty, let me introduce you."

He was not greedy for merit or reckless, nor did he look down on Jiang Xin.

After spending a few days with him, he realized that this seemingly tender-skinned young man was a man of real talent and learning, but he was a poor man and could not speak very fluently.

It would be a shame if the prince blamed him and his contribution was wiped out.

However, just as he was about to start explaining, Xie Ze, who had been gentle at the side, suddenly frowned and glanced at him calmly: "No need, since the production of colored glaze is led by Ah Xin, it is natural that he will answer my questions. You just need to listen to his arrangements."

"...Yes, yes." The poor craftsman was frightened and immediately knelt down and responded tremblingly.

"Your Highness." Jiang Xin gently tugged at Xie Ze's sleeve and pleaded with him: [The stonemason is a very good person. He taught me a lot these days. He just took the initiative to take the job because he was afraid that I couldn't explain it clearly. Your Highness, please don't be angry.]

"Okay." Xie Ze smiled, then looked at the craftsmen in the room and said lightly:

“In the future, this place and workshops No. 2 and No. 3 will mainly produce colored glaze. I need a batch of utensils and handicrafts that can be placed in the residences of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, at least 3,000 pieces. If you can cooperate with Ah Xin to make them for me within two months, I will take one hundredth of the profits as a reward to all participants.

If you can do it within a month, I can give you three places and transfer you to the agricultural register."

As soon as the words fell, everyone was immediately excited and kowtowed in a hurry to pledge: "Thank you, Your Majesty. We will not dare to slack off in the slightest and will make all the glassware in the shortest possible time. Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Although the profit of one in a hundred may not sound much, such rare and beautiful things have never been heard of before. Throughout history, there have always been many people who are not short of money and spend thousands or even tens of thousands of gold on their favorite things. This batch of colored glaze will definitely make the eyes of those big shots in Beijing shine.

This profit is exciting just to think about.

Not only that, the prince was even willing to find a way to transfer the three of them to farming status!

You must know that the craftsmen of the Dali Dynasty have been craftsmen from generation to generation. Without the emperor's edict, they would not be able to change their careers no matter what.

They are all old guys, and their lives are like this, but they still have sons and grandsons. Who doesn’t want to have a descendant who can bring honor to the family?

If they were transferred to farming status, their sons and grandsons could go to school, take imperial examinations, and change their fate of being craftsmen for generations!

Although there are only three spots now, if they work hard for the wise king, there will definitely be more in the future. How can they not be excited and grateful for such great luck? !

"Yeah." Xie Ze nodded calmly, accepting the kneeling. Then, seeing his own eyes sparkling as he looked at his little study partner, he smiled again: "Ah Xin alone gets 10%, which is not included."

Jiang Xin: “…”

The craftsmen: “…” Well, Young Master Jiang is lucky.

Jiang Xin immediately shook his head like a rattle, and said anxiously: "Your Highness, don't do it!" [The raw materials and manufacturing methods of colored glaze are originally mastered by Your Highness, I can't take such a high profit. ]

"..."Don't do...what? The craftsmen were startled and looked up quietly. Seeing that the two people were standing in the normal position, they breathed a sigh of relief.

The young master is good in every way except that he stutters and is always missing words or sentences. Sometimes it is really easy to make people think the wrong thing!

Fortunately, Xie Ze had a first-rate understanding of the language of his little study partner. Although he was very happy, he was also a little depressed about how well he knew Ashin. Otherwise, he might have been even happier...

"Don't refuse, you earned it yourself." Retracting his scattered thoughts, Xie Ze frowned and said expressionlessly: "Even if I know the raw materials and production methods, I still need to make continuous trials and adjustments to burn real colored glaze. You have already helped me do this.

And you will help me supervise the production, draw the appropriate drawings, and produce qualified glass paper products. This 10% profit is definitely what you deserve."

"Can……"

Before Jiang Xin could say anything else, Xie Ze interrupted him again: "I heard that there was a nobleman in the previous dynasty who spent a lot of money to make his beloved smile. I also want to experience it. If Ah Xin makes a lot of money, please invite me to go shopping, eat in a restaurant, and listen to opera in a teahouse. Is that okay?"

Everyone: "..." With the background of the prince's family, does he need others to spend a lot of money on him? And doesn't the prince think that the example he gave is weird? Comparing Jiang Xin to a nobleman, and comparing himself to the nobleman's sweetheart...

Are they uneducated or are they thinking too much?

However, Jiang Xin had completely misunderstood.

His mother died young and his father neglected him since childhood. Although he had never been short of money, he had never experienced such warm moments as being cared for, given thoughtful gifts, or going shopping, listening to plays or watching operas with his family.

In fact, His Highness is the same as him. For a long time, he has been lonely without any company.

They all want someone to accompany them and do the things that ordinary families would do together.

Thinking of this, the action-oriented little companion immediately said distressedly: "I will spend money for His Highness. Now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xin grabbed Xie Ze's hand and walked out the door. As he walked, he said without looking back: "Let's go shopping!" [Let's go shopping! ]

Xie Ze: "..." If only he could put half of his Ah Xin's IQ into his understanding of feelings...
