Chapter 512 Choose Your Own Food and Eat Cheap Food
Xiao Jincheng looked at Ji Chuhe with embarrassment.
It seemed as if he wanted to see how Ji Chuhe would react.
"Second Young Master, you have been in the imperial capital for at least a year, right?" Ji Chuhe suddenly asked.
"Yes." Xiao Jincheng responded quickly.
"You've been here for so long, and you've been living in my uncle's house with your wife and children? You've been eating and using your uncle's money, but have you ever thought about finding a job to earn some money to support yourself, your wife and daughter?" Ji Chuhe looked puzzled.
Xiao Jincheng's face suddenly froze.
Some bad memories suddenly flooded into my mind.
Ji Chuhe always looked down on him and she had never looked at him straight in the eye.
Just like when she humiliated him in Huaiyang.
His self-esteem was once again ruthlessly trampled upon.
Ji Chuhe's words also reminded everyone.
It turned out that this second young master had been living with his family in someone else's home, and even at such an old age he still needed someone else to support him with his hands and feet.
Since you choose to eat cheap food, you have to bear the consequences yourself.
Besides, the second young master has hands and feet, and an uncle to help him, so he can support his family by doing anything.
On the other hand, after arriving in the imperial capital, the prince did not enjoy himself all day long. Instead, he and his wife opened a clinic and a shop. He also offended the government and transported disaster relief supplies. The people now have a very good impression of Xiao Yan'an.
No matter from which aspect, the conditions of the prince are much better than that of the second son, right? He doesn't need to work so hard.
The one who should really work hard is the second young master.
As a result, the second young master looked so cowardly.
"Since the Second Young Master doesn't answer my question, it means I was right." Ji Chuhe added.
Ming'er was anxious and immediately knelt down in front of Ji Chuhe. "Sister-in-law, we also thought about making money by ourselves, but when we first came out of Huaiyang, we were penniless. Sister-in-law, you also know that uncle is going to the northern border, and aunt will definitely not let us live in her house for too long. When the time comes, she will definitely drive us out. Sister-in-law, no matter what, the second young master is the prince's biological brother. Can you really bear to watch us sleep on the street?"
"Of course I won't watch you sleep on the streets. Mianzhu, give them twenty taels of silver first. This twenty taels is enough to rent a house in Xicheng. As for the future living problem, we can make plans later." Ji Chuhe's tone was soft but firm.
Mianzhu immediately took out twenty taels and walked to Xiao Jincheng, "Second Young Master, please accept it."
Xiao Jincheng took the bag of money and bowed to Ji Chuhe: "Thank you, sister-in-law."
"We're family, no need to thank me." Ji Chuhe said and walked into the shop.
Xiao Jincheng and Ming'er had finished their play. There was no point in staying any longer, so they turned around and left.
The people around, seeing nothing exciting to watch, also dispersed.
……
Xiao Yan'an suddenly received an urgent summons from the emperor, asking him to enter the palace immediately.
When I arrived at the imperial study, I saw the emperor playing with a crossbow with a few sketches beside him.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Xiao Yan'an immediately stepped forward and saluted.
"Yan'an, you've come at the right time. Look at this crossbow. Gao Jin gave it to me before he left for the northern border." The emperor handed the crossbow in his hand to Xiao Yan'an.
Xiao Yanan took it carefully, afraid of accidentally touching something and shooting the arrow.
"Your Majesty, I don't understand this kind of thing. I can't tell what it is. I just think it's no different from an ordinary crossbow."
"You aim at the target over there."
Xiao Yan'an immediately raised his hand.
"Press the button here." The emperor reminded.
Xiao Yan'an pulled the trigger and an arrow shot out, piercing directly through the target which was thicker than the one used in normal training.
"Wow!" Xiao Yan'an exclaimed.
"How about it? If the soldiers hold this kind of crossbow, it will be a very lethal weapon whether they are fighting the enemy at close range or at a long distance."
"Yeah, that's right!" Xiao Yan'an nodded in agreement.
"Gao Jin is a talented person." The emperor praised him generously. After that, he reached out and took the crossbow from Xiao Yan'an's hand, and released the other two arrows.
"Have you seen him when you were in Huaiyang?" the emperor suddenly asked.
"Your Majesty, I have never seen it."
"What a pity! If it weren't for the urgent situation in the North, I would really like you to meet him. But it doesn't matter. He has something to ask of me."
Xiao Yan'an did not respond, but just stood aside respectfully.
The emperor put down the crossbow and looked at Xiao Yan'an, "Aren't you curious about what he asked me for?"
"Ah?" Xiao Yan'an was surprised, then pointed at himself, "Your Majesty, could it be that what he wants is related to me?"
"That's right." The emperor responded, suppressing his anger.
Xiao Yanan's ability to make jokes has really improved a lot!
"May I ask your Majesty, what exactly is he seeking?"
"It's not only about you, but also about your brother Xiao Jincheng. He told me that his sister, your father's concubine Gao, had evil intentions and wanted Xiao Jincheng to seize your position as the crown prince. In the end, she suffered the consequences. He also said that he hoped you would not vent your anger on Xiao Jincheng because of Concubine Gao. After all, you and Xiao Jincheng are brothers."
"He also said that Xiao Jincheng was determined to leave Huaiyang, so he secretly took Xiao Jincheng to the imperial capital and took him in. However, he is about to go to the northern border, and he is still worried about his nephew. He hopes that you can put aside the past grudges and reconcile with Xiao Jincheng."
Xiao Yan'an listened to these words and secretly clenched his hands in his sleeves.
"So that's what happened. How difficult is that? I have always been clear about gratitude and grudges. I never vent my anger on others. So, Mr. Gao's worry is completely unnecessary. I have never held a grudge against Xiao Jincheng." Xiao Yan'an answered readily.
"In this case, it is not convenient for Xiao Jincheng to live in Gao Jin's house all the time, so let him live in your prince's house first. You two brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, so you can catch up with each other."
"Yes." Xiao Yan'an responded simply, "Your Majesty, is there anything else?"
"Gone."
"Then I will take my leave first, so that Madam can get ready."
"Wait, I have something else to tell you. It has been said since ancient times that an elder brother is like a father. Since you are the elder brother, you should be more tolerant. Your father would never want to see a rift between you brothers."
"Yes, I understand."
After Xiao Yan'an left the palace, he went straight to the prince's residence.
Ji Chuhe just returned home.
Seeing Xiao Yan'an hurriedly walk in, he immediately asked, "Sir, what happened?"
"The Emperor has just summoned me to the palace. Madam, guess what he wants to do?"
