Chapter 50 The boy of that day finally grew up to be a handsome young man like jade
"She is quite beautiful. From behind the door, she looks like a clean and tidy person. However, she is very attached to the old prince. She has to be with him wherever she goes."
"Then the old prince is not annoyed?" Aunt Zhuang asked.
"The couple have a good relationship." Mrs. Zhong said with a smile: "Who didn't say in the past that the husband and wife of the Jiang family had a deep love and were like a couple of gods? And the old prince has never had a concubine in his life."
"Really?" Aunt Zhuang looked very shocked when she heard this.
She was a concubine in an inner house and had never seen much of the world. She only thought that all men in the world looked the same.
She had seen the most affectionate person but her own master. He had seen how gentle and loving he was to his wife.
Except for taking her as a dowry maid into the house when his wife was pregnant, the master never took any other concubines.
Aunt Zhuang had only heard of a prince who would never take a concubine in a play.
Having said this, Mrs. Zhong sighed.
"It's a pity that such a person died young."
Is it true that good people don't always live long? Is it because they are deeply in love that they die? Zhong felt a lot of emotion for no reason.
She remembered that when the bad news about the Jiang family came back to the capital from the border, the late emperor was so sad that he did not go to court for several days.
On the day of the Jiang family's burial, it seemed that God was also crying. It rained heavily, but half of the people in Jinling City came out to deliver the Jiang family's coffin.
Mrs. Zhong was also grateful and went to see her off.
She held an umbrella that day and saw a young boy of twelve or thirteen years old through many people.
The young man stood silently in the crowd, but he could be easily caught by others, just because this young man was so beautiful, and his stubborn eyes were really eye-catching.
There was a flow of people around, with faces that were either happy or sad. The young man looked young but seemed to be far away from the world, silent and quiet, watching the people hurrying around.
Only those eyes were wide open and stubborn, refusing to shed a single tear.
Mrs. Zhong was lost in thought when suddenly someone came from outside to report that Prince Jiang was here.
Mrs. Zhong panicked and hurriedly pushed Aunt Zhuang's head back, stood up and went to meet her.
The man outside the door has a tall figure and is dressed in white clothes.
He behaves with great style, and everything he says and does is precise.
He held hands with Mrs. Zhong and said, "This junior has met Mrs. Mu."
Mrs. Zhong looked at Jiang Bo in front of her. The stubborn and youthful boy had finally grown into an adult, a handsome young man like jade.
Mrs. Zhong was stunned for a moment, and then greeted her warmly: "Sit down in the room. You must be tired after walking all the way. There is hot tea in the room. Have a sip of tea and rest."
Jiang Bo, however, stood outside the door and refused to go in.
"Junior is here to deliver something this time. Once the things are delivered, the task will be completed, so I won't go in and disturb you."
As he spoke, he handed the purse to Mr. Zhong.
"What is it?"
Zhong took the purse hesitantly, feeling it was very heavy.
She opened it curiously, but her eyes widened and she took a breath.
Gold!
Inside that heavy purse was actually a bag full of gold.
Mrs. Zhong was shocked. She had never seen so much money before when Mu Changting was here, let alone now.
"this……"
"This this……"
She looked up at Jiang Bo for a while, and then looked at the gold in her hand. Her tongue was tied for a long time before she uttered a single sentence: "What's going on?"
Jiang Bo's expression did not change, and his tone remained indifferent: "The Empress Dowager in the palace entrusted me to send it to the people of the Mu family."
"杳杳?"
Mrs. Zhong was surprised and confused: "Where did Yaoyao get so much money?"
"I don't know."
Jiang Bo still gave such an answer that could choke people to death. Fortunately, Mr. Zhong had a gentle temperament and didn't care much.
She tried to stuff the purse back: "You give it to her for me, just tell her to take care of herself. We don't need so much money at home."
But when I stuffed it back into Jiangbo, I wouldn't take it back.
He acted very principledly: "I was entrusted by someone to deliver this package to her. Now that this package has been delivered to me, my mission has been completed, and I will never send it back again."
Zhong:……
This person was so stretched that there was only one muscle left. Even a good-tempered person like her felt choked.
"The things have been delivered. I don't want to disturb you, so I'll take my leave first."
He has a great sense of propriety and is not used to talking useless nonsense to others. He is eager to leave after things are done.
But Zhong called him to stop him.
"Your Majesty, please wait for me for a while."
After saying that, she turned around and walked to the other end. Before leaving, she didn't forget to look back and add: "You must wait for me, it will be fine in a while."
In the blink of an eye, Mrs. Zhong had already gone away, and Jiang Bo had no choice but to stay where he was and wait.
It was approaching noon, and the sun was getting stronger outside. He did not go into the house, but waited on the porch. When the sun was shining, Mrs. Zhong finally came back.
Zhong took two paper packages and handed them back to Jiang Bo.
"Yao Yao loves the hibiscus cake I made the most. Your Majesty usually sees Yao Yao in the palace. Can you help me pass this to her?"
This family is really... endless.
Jiang Bo didn't even know when he had become an errand boy.
But when the words came to his lips, he still responded as if he had seen a ghost: "Okay."
Mrs. Zhong knew that he had an eccentric temperament, so she thought she would refuse again this time. Who knew that he actually agreed, which was quite a surprise.
Then I heard him say: "This package is for you, my lord."
Both mother and daughter seem to like giving food to others.
But I heard Mrs. Zhong say: "Walking all over the place is really tiring for the prince. I don't know how to thank the prince. I don't have anything useful at home. Only this hibiscus cake is made by myself. I hope the prince doesn't want it."
It’s better to dislike it.”
Jiang Bo paused, unable to say any words of rejection.
After a moment, he said: "Thank you."
Mrs. Zhong smiled happily: "No thank you, no thank you..."
"When I meet Yaoyao, please tell me a few words, please tell her to take care of herself when she is alone in the palace, and don't worry about home. We are all living a good life.
If you have money, you can keep it for yourself, and there will be no shortage of money at home. But she, without money, would be unable to move forward in the palace."
Jiang Bo listened to Zhong's words and took another look at the courtyard. The house looked like a bare house, and he couldn't really say it was "good".
He also never thought that the empress dowager of the Mu Qing Dynasty, how could her family be in such a state of decline?
It was just the earnest words of advice Mr. Zhong whispered to his daughter that gave him a warm feeling that he had not seen for a long time.
Since his parents died, he has been a widow for many years, so he may not have heard these words for many years.
His mother's thoughts are the same. If his mother was still alive, she should also care and miss him in this way.
