Chapter 45: To Each His Own Future
"Prince-" Quan Jiro's mouth opened wide, unable to believe his ears.
The current emperor has been on the throne for more than 20 years, and he has had several heirs, but they can't support them. Look at the old age and poor health, this matter has become the heart disease of the ministers of the DPRK and China. If the young man over there is a prince, as long as the father and son recognize each other, wouldn't he be the future son of heaven?
Thinking of this, Quan Erlang only felt that his heart was pounding, and he couldn't breathe evenly. He climbed this big tree now, and he inherited the throne in the future, wouldn't he be a minister from the dragon! At that time, the wind will be windy, and the rain will be rainy, and it will turn over from then on.
Seeing that there was no one around, Quan Erlang whispered to Gao Ji'an: "Brother, what a noble man the prince is, why is he so downcast?" ”
Gao Ji'an said: "What can I do?" After his mother came out of the palace, he married a medical pharmacist, and the family moved to Jiangnan. A few years ago, his mother died, and he was told his background. My parents didn't leave any money, so they had to collect medicine for a living. Fortunately, I met me and knew that his identity was extraordinary, and I tried my best to endure hardships all the way, and I also wanted to take him to Beijing to recognize his relatives. ”
Quan Erlang nodded: "If it is the royal blood, it will naturally make a fortune after recognizing relatives, and it is nothing to suffer this little hardship." It's just that since you are going to enter Beijing, why are you living here? As long as the identity is revealed, the yamen along the way is not full of heart! ”
Gao Ji'an shook his head: "Brother, you don't know that the world is sinister. The royal identity is extraordinary, and once it is leaked, it is not known what will cause trouble. Don't say it's the official mansion along the way, even if you arrive at Kaifeng Mansion, you can't let people know. This matter can only go straight to the palace, get the will of the official family, and the father and son recognize each other, so that it can be publicized. - Alas, it is a pity that I have no money, and I am hungry and full along the way, and the nobles suffer. ”
Quan Erlang's eyes rolled and said, "Brother is laughing." Just find a random outsider, as long as he knows that it is the identity of the prince, and he doesn't give money with both hands, and obediently sends it to the capital! This is the prince, as long as you spend some entanglement, the future is promising, how many people rush to do it! ”
Gao Ji'an said: "Brother said. When we were in Dingzhou, we had to find an outsider, but he was considered a liar, and we suffered a lot. What is that one? After being scared, I don't trust others anymore, as long as I find myself in Beijing. ”
Speaking of this, Gao Ji'an looked at Quan Erlang and said, "I fell in love with my brother, no better than others." If you have any money, lend me some of it, and when you become rich, you will repay it twice. Make a good karma now, and there will be great rewards in the future! When that one recognizes the official family, the whole world belongs to their father and son, and the official and the money are not a matter of the same word! ”
When Quan Erlang heard this, he couldn't help but feel hot in his heart. But he has seen a lot in the world, so he won't just believe Gao Ji'an, who knows if the two of them are liars? However, the opportunity is in front of you, and if you can't seize it, you will regret it later.
After thinking about it again and again, Quan Erlang said to Gao Ji'an: "Brother, if you can trust me, wait a few days." I and that Yang Dalang were looking for mines in the mountains a few days ago, and we had some eyebrows, and we were about to go to the Yingtian Yamen in Qingtai Town in the south to receive the reward. That mine is really not small, how can there be a few rewards. When I receive the reward, I will make a coil, how about entering Beijing with you? ”
How did Gao Ji'an not know Quan Erlang's thoughts? I promised to stay here for two days and wait.
At night, Quan Erlang and Yang Dalang had eaten, went into the room to rest, and couldn't sleep anyway. Looking at the prince's bearing, it is indeed an ordinary person, and it doesn't seem to be pretending. I haven't made a big difference for more than 20 years, do you want to make a career today? Now that the East Palace is vacant, if this prince recognizes the emperor, he will be made the crown prince, and he will be the emperor in the future, and what he wants is not a matter of his words.
Look at Yang Dalang beside him, snoring like thunder and sleeping soundly. When I think about the experience of these days, it seems like fate. This guy went to the village to find saliva to drink, and dared to let people take money to take him to find mines, and he actually believed it. It didn't take long to find a pit from the previous dynasty. Yang Dalang really has some skills, and several ore seedlings were found around the pit, which was confirmed to be a big mine. I thought that with this mine, I could receive some reward money and live a life of wine and meat. I didn't expect to meet Gao Ji'an again, and meet the prince who was in exile, didn't he come by luck?
Early the next morning, Quan Erlang first looked at Gao Ji'an and the prince, and he was still sleeping soundly on the side, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.
Yang Dalang got up, went outside to wash his face casually, and said to Quan Erlang: "Today, we can't delay, we will go to Qingtai Town in one go." reported to the yamen, received the reward, and then rested. ”
Quan Erlang agreed, let Yang Dalang go out first, and when he went to Gao Ji'an, he arched his hand and said: "Brother, wait here for two days, and we will go to Qingtai Town to receive the reward." When I come back, I will ask you to have a good meal of wine and meat. ”
These days, there is no money on him, Gao Ji'an and the two are having a hard time, and they are busy agreeing.
Yang Dalang was waiting outside the door, and when he saw that Quan Erlang had not come out for a long time, he was unhappy. It took a lot of effort to finally find the ore vein, and seeing that the reward was in hand, this guy grinded.
At this moment, I saw Luo Feng coming out of the next room. I think it was the injury that was involved, and I frowned there.
Turning his head to see Yang Dalang looking at him, Luo Feng came over and arched his hand: "I don't know my brother's surname, where do you want to go?" ”
Yang Dalang heard the little guy say yesterday that this person is a junior outsider here, and said politely: "My surname is Yang, and I want to go to Qingtai Town." ”
Luo Feng was overjoyed when he heard this: "Is my brother also going to Qingtai Town?" Just in the same way. ”
Yang Dalang said: "Outside the junior member, the injuries on your body are not yet healed, so you should recuperate for a few days." In a hurry to get on the road, be careful to induce the injury. ”
Luo Feng said: "It's not in the way, it's just a flesh injury, and it will naturally get better in a few days." ”
Hearing this, Yang Dalang said: "I don't know what is important outside the junior staff, and I am in a hurry to go to Qingtai Town?" ”
Luo Feng said: "I have been reading since I was a child and can recognize some words. I heard that the camp and field affairs yamen in Qingtai Town are recruiting people who can write and calculate, and they want to find a job somewhere. I came here with my mother's remarriage, and this is not a place to live. ”
Yang Dalang nodded, he didn't want to ask much, he just agreed to go with Luo Feng.
After waiting for a while, Quan Erlang reluctantly came out of the room. I was in high spirits, and I didn't know what had happened.
Seeing that it was not early, Yang Dalang urged Quan Erlang to go on the road, pointed at Luo Feng and said: "This little member is going to Qingtai Town to apply, and he happens to be with us." I heard that the camp and field affairs yamen is the time to employ people, and they will work together in the future, so they can take care of it. ”
Quan Erlang looked at Luo Feng and said disdainfully: "Where we go is just to receive the reward money, who is doing things in the yamen!" ”
Yang Dalang said: "Brother, if the government really wants to mine and smelt iron, it will inevitably require a lot of people. We are the ones who found the mine, and we received the reward, so it was not difficult to find something to do. It's a rare opportunity, no matter what you do in the mine, it's better than going back to farming. ”
Quan Erlang laughed when he heard this: "What did my brother say! I have a great future here, who will go back to farming! As long as I have the reward money from the yamen, I have my own things to do, how can I stay there! ”
Yang Dalang shook his head and sighed, feeling sorry for Quan Erlang. The government offers a reward for prospecting, which must be to make iron, and iron-making is a good opportunity, and you can find a job in the yamen.
