Seeing that his anxious forehead was sweating, Ye Jiayao couldn't bear it, and said with a smile: "Why are you anxious? I have never seen anyone so eager for creditors to come to their door. I am so poor, how can I live my life if I don't ask you for debt?" Okay, I remember, it’s Prince Helian’s Mansion, right? I’ll go find you.”
Helianjing secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what she said. However, he was still worried and stretched out a hand to high-five him.
Ye Jiayao slapped him hard and cheerfully, her palms aching.
"Go quickly, don't keep people waiting." Ye Jiayao punched him on the shoulder.
He Lianjing suddenly felt the urge to hug her, and then he actually did so.
Ye Jiayao's whole body froze at the sudden hug.
"Dayao Yao, you must come." Holding her in his arms and saying this in her ear, He Lianjing turned around and left. He was afraid that if he stayed for a moment longer, he would cry.
Why do you feel so uncomfortable
Suddenly, it seems that my heart is empty, empty, like a kite with its string broken, like a leaf separated from the branch, like a child losing his most cherished treasure, like being abandoned and standing under the eaves looking at the night rain, as blank and helpless as that night. measures.
Standing at the dock and looking back at the bow of the ship, Ye Jiayao was waving to him. Helianjing also waved and murmured in a low voice: "Da Yaoyao, if you don't come, I don't know where to find you, so you must Coming..."
Ye Jiayao didn't return to the cabin numbly until he was far away and out of sight. Holding the porcelain doll he gave her, she looked up at the wooden planks of the ship. She was afraid that tears would fall if she lowered her head.
Xiao Jingjing left, and she became a person again.
She didn't even want to cry when she escaped death from Heifenggang, because she was very angry and disappointed at that time, so she shouldn't cry, don't shed tears for that guy.
But now, she really wanted to cry. The cute little Jingjing really looked like her little brother. She was so happy bickering with him and spent the most difficult time with her.
Will everyone she cares about eventually leave her...
Until the tears flowed into her heart, and she was sure that they would never overflow her eyes again, Ye Jiayao took out the broken jar, took out the copper coins one by one, and put them into the belly of the porcelain doll one by one.
She was frugal and saved some money. She originally planned to buy slightly better clothes for Xiao Jingjing after she came to Jinling, and then send him home, so that his family would not feel distressed seeing him in such a miserable state.
Now...it's no longer needed.
On the canal at night, the deep river water shone with sparkling light under the icy silver moon and misty twinkling stars, and the fishing fire in the distance finally disappeared from sight.
He Lianjing sat at the stern of the boat, holding the face mask given to him by Ye Jiayao in his hand, staring blankly at the vast night.
What is Dayao Yao doing now
Xia Chunyu heard that Xiaojing had been sitting at the stern of the boat for a long time, so he came out to take a look.
"Still thinking about your friend?" Xia Chunyu walked over slowly.
He Lianjing was in a depressed mood and didn't want to talk to anyone.
Xia Chunyu twitched the corner of his mouth and whispered: "If you are so worried about your friend, why don't you let me give him money, so that you don't owe him any favors."
He Lianjing said dullly: "I can't give it to him. If I give it to him, he won't come to me."
Xia Chunyu said leisurely: "How many people would like to be friends with you, Prince Jing. You may be very happy in his heart. Don't worry, he will definitely come to you."
He Lianjing said angrily: "Da Yaoyao is not that kind of person, he is different."
Xia Chunyu smiled curiously: "Oh? Why is it different? Who can see clearly when people's hearts are separated from each other?"
He Lianjing said childishly: "Da Yaoyao is just different, I know."
you know? You know what the heck, you are just a child who will not grow up, you are simple and willful, it is best to lie. When you are in trouble, if someone gives you a steamed bun, you will feel that they are too good.
Xia Chunyu said sarcastically: "Sneaking out for a while will help you get better at recognizing people. Why don't you think about whether your mother will be anxious and your brother will be angry if you sneak out like this?"
He Lianjing said unconvinced: "Why can my brother go off to war at the age of fourteen, and you can do errands at the age of sixteen, but I have to stay at home every day?"
"Isn't that because you can't make people feel at ease? Look at you, you went on a long trip, and your money was taken away by others, and you almost didn't come back. You're almost a beggar. You said you have this little ability, what else do you want to do? ?" Xia Chunyu scolded him.
Xiaojing is like his little brother, so Xia Chunyu is not polite when he speaks.
He Lianjing's face turned red and he defended himself: "You don't learn anything without experience. Could it be that you did a good job from the beginning?"
Xia Chunyu raised his eyebrows and asked him, "What do you think?"
He Lianjing was deflated and calmed down. He didn't feel that he was that bad. There were many princes and sons who were worse than him, but compared with his eldest brother and Chunyu brother, he was indeed inferior. Even Dayao Yao It's also much stronger than him.
"When your brother and your mother feel that you have matured and can take charge of your own business, they will naturally arrange errands for you. As for what it means to be mature and steady, I think you should have some understanding after this experience. At the very least, you should You have a man's responsibility and responsibility, don't always let others worry about you." Xia Chunyu patted him on the shoulder and said seriously.
When Xia Chunyu returned to the cabin, Song Qi asked worriedly: "The young prince still refuses to come in?"
Xia Chunyu waved his hand: "It's okay, let him stay alone, blow in the wind and wake up."
Song Qixin said: I have been bragging for a long time, and if I brag again, I will be stupid.
The night breeze on the canal was slightly cool, and the paddles of the boat made a rhythmic swishing sound. Xia Chunyu's words were like a pebble dropped into He Lianjing's heart, and his thoughts were like waves.
Men's responsibilities and responsibilities. Yes, everyone treats him as a child, both in the family and outsiders. Even Yaoyao always calls him a young boy. The reason is ultimately due to himself. He is not calm enough when things happen, he is not calm enough in his actions, and he is angry. How can you convince people if you have no skills
He raised his eyes and looked at the quiet river bank. His clear eyes were exceptionally clear, revealing a bit of perseverance and determination. No, he doesn't want to be like this anymore. He wants to become stronger. He doesn't want to follow others and live on others' shoulders. He wants to be the upright Prince Jing, not a playboy waiting to die.
In the early morning six days later, a two-masted ship slowly sailed into the Jinling Freight Terminal. As soon as the ship docked, a group of officers and soldiers came up and took control of the ship, looking for a man named Jin Yao.
Half an hour later, Helian Jing rode to the dock and boarded the ship.
The officers and soldiers saluted together: "Prince Jing."
Li Mao lowered his head and couldn't help trembling.
He was just a common man, a businessman who did his job, but he had never seen such a big battle before, and he didn't know what he had committed. That little brother Li didn't look like a bad person! Why did you alert the prince
He Lianjing waved his hand to signal the officers and soldiers to retreat.
"Li Mao, you don't have to be afraid. I'm just here to see Jinyao. Where is Jinyao?"
He was worried that Dayao Yao would not come to him. Fortunately, Brother Chunyu taught him a method. He estimated the schedule and sent people to guard the docks. As soon as the Li family's merchant ship docked, he would control the ship. Yaoyao will not be able to run away.
Unexpectedly, he still failed. After receiving the news, he rushed over immediately.
Uh, this voice sounds so familiar. Isn't it Brother Li's younger brother? Li Mao raised his eyes in confusion, looked at it again and again, and was stunned.
Darling, this young prince with rich clothes and a face like a crown jewel is really that little brother Jing.
After the shock, Li Mao breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought that Brother Li was some kind of imperial criminal, and he was frightened. Harboring imperial criminals is a crime, but now it seems that is not the case.
"Back, back to your lord, brother Li got off the boat in Zhenjiang." Li Mao didn't dare to make any mistakes and replied cautiously.
He Lianjing asked anxiously: "Did he say where he was going?"
"I asked about it, and Brother Li said he had to do something in Zhenjiang, and then he might go to Jiangxi."
Helian Jing was confused, where could he find someone
At this time, Ye Jiayao was lying on a bullock cart, slowly coming towards Jinling.
She didn't want to avoid Xiao Jingjing, it was because Xiao Jingjing knew the stupid donkey and she didn't want to see the stupid donkey.
To be on the safe side, she got off the ship in Zhenjiang and took the land route instead.
"Brother, Jinling City is not far ahead. I won't go into the city, old man." said the old man who was driving the car.
Ye Jiayao got up, jumped off the bullock cart, and shook off the straw stuck to her body.
"Uncle, thank you!"
Ye Jiayao took out a few copper coins and wanted to give them to the old man. The bullock cart was also a cart, so you had to pay for the ride.
The old man refused to ask for anything.
Ye Jiayao had no choice but to thank him again and again, picked up his baggage and embarked on the official road into the city.
Jinling, also known as Nanjing in modern times, is a famous historical and cultural city with a history of more than 6,000 years. It is known as the "ancient capital of six dynasties" and the "city of ten dynasties", which shows its prosperity.
Although this time and space is different from the history she is familiar with, in this time and space, Jinling City is still prosperous and it was the capital of a dynasty. It is not only the center of politics and culture, but also the center of economic and financial affairs.
Ye Jiayao had already thought about it. After arriving in Jinling, she would first find a job and settle down, and slowly plan her revenge. As the saying goes, it is never too late for a gentleman to seek revenge after ten years. She was very patient.
What job are you looking for? Naturally, being a cook is her specialty. People can wear shabby clothes and live in shabby houses, but they cannot go hungry. Therefore, the profession of chef has a market all over the world in ancient and modern times.
Jinling City is also a gourmet paradise with countless restaurants. Ye Jiayao was very excited. She had the ambition to swim in the vast world as a fish enters the sea. But after shopping for a long time, I asked many restaurants, but they all said they were not hiring.
Damn it, I am the descendant of future generations of stunt chefs in five-star hotels. If I still can't find a job here, I really can go to shit.
Unable to find a job for the time being, Ye Jiayao had to find a place to live first. She didn't have much money, but she could survive for a few days.
But, damn, why are the inns here so expensive? Even the cheapest room in an inconspicuous inn costs one hundred copper coins a night.
Ye Jiayao is sad. Her ideals are full and her reality is skinny. This is her true reflection at this moment.
