Chapter 117 Daily Life in the Jia Mansion
Qianqing Palace, Yangxin Palace.

"Father." The second prince, Prince Wei, handed a letter to Xia Bingzhong. "This is from the spy in Wannian County."

The emperor took the letter and read it. After a moment, he smiled and said, "Your uncle has been tricked."

Different from the eldest prince who likes to show off his knowledge and the third prince who smiles at everyone.

The second prince, Prince Wei, was aloof and serious. "How should we deal with this person who slandered the royal family?"

"No big deal."

The emperor put down the letter and waved his hand casually, "It's just a dispute of pride."

"Your uncle..." When mentioning Prince Zhongshun, the emperor said in a serious tone, "What he did was too rude."

The King of Wei lowered his eyelids and said no more.

He already understood what the emperor meant.

In the fight between King Zhongshun and Chen Ran, he chose to stand on Chen Ran's side.

Come to think of it, if there is such a person in your own house, who can propose a good tax and come up with a lottery as a tool to raise money, you will definitely be given everything he wants and strong support, and everything in the house except the princess will be given to him.

"I heard." The emperor put on a smile and changed the subject, "The one born with jade in Rongguo Mansion was injured?"

The King of Wei lowered his head even more, and he was complaining in his heart, "I don't know what's in the minds of the people in Rongguo Mansion. Can you say that you were born with a jade in your mouth? If you really have such thoughts, you should try to hide it as much as possible. If you don't have such thoughts but still do such a thing, you are either bad or stupid!"

He responded in a deep voice, "I was hit in the face by a wine jug, which broke and the porcelain fragments scratched my face. There were five inch-long wounds on my face and dozens of pits. My whole face was ruined."

"Hey."

The emperor smiled in an ambiguous way, and after a moment he said, "Tomorrow you should go to your uncle's house and ask him to read some books and learn some knowledge about the world, so that he won't spend all his time surrounded by women. Also, ask him to go to Jiangnan and boost lottery sales in the south."

King Wei bowed again and said, "Your son obeys your order~~~"

After leaving the Qianqing Palace, King Wei finally straightened his back.

"We need to pay more attention to this Chen Ran in the future."

The reason why he was able to openly be in charge of the emperor's secret guard agency was not only because of his status, but also because of his quick mind.

The emperor said that he wanted Prince Zhongshun to read more, as if he was scolding him.

In fact, he was allowed to go to Jiangnan to handle lottery matters.

Given the emperor's attitude towards the Jia family, this was naturally not to give an explanation to the Jia family, but to show it to Chen Ran.

This person definitely holds a great importance in the emperor's heart and will definitely be of great use in the future.

The King of Wei's speculation was still not accurate.

He thought Chen Ran would be of great use in the future, but in fact, not long after, the order came down, transferring Jia Yucun, the prefect of Jinling, to serve as the acting prefect of Shuntian Prefecture.

Chen Ran, on the other hand, took up a part-time job as the acting governor of Shuntian Prefecture.

"If you have not been to various places, you cannot become a prime minister."

This is the rule that everyone in the court tacitly agrees on.

If one wants to become a prime minister, one must have local experience as qualification.

According to the original rules, Chen Ran would have to stay in the Hanlin Academy for six or seven years before being sent to other places.

But how long has it been now? He was given the opportunity to go outside directly.

More importantly, the location of the release was actually Shuntian Prefecture!
Among so many prefectures in the world, Shuntian Prefecture is the most important.

The experience I can gain here will definitely be of great use in the future.

It was Jia Zheng who told Chen Ran the news.

Because Chen Ran was on leave, he came to Rongguo Mansion to teach Jia Baoyu.

"Zihou." Jia Zheng's eyes were full of admiration. "You are so young, and you have just entered the court and you have been given such an important position. This is rare in this dynasty."

Chen Ran spoke a few humble words and shifted the topic to Jia Baoyu.

"This traitor!"

When Jia Baoyu was mentioned, Jia Zheng was furious. "He has learned such bad things at such a young age! Why did he have to mess with Prince Zhongshun's mansion when he could have hooked up with someone else?"

There is another sentence that is not easy to say in front of Chen Ran, which is "It's okay to hook up with girls, but he is"

It cannot be mentioned. As soon as this matter is mentioned, Jia Zheng becomes so angry that his liver trembles.

"Brother Bao is just young and ignorant." Chen Ran wiped his face and put on a good face, "Young and ignorant, just a fool."

Jia Zheng's heart moved slightly, wondering if he was too strict. If he had let Jia Baoyu know what happened in the bedroom earlier, perhaps this ugly incident would not have happened.

Once such a scandal came to light, who among the noble families in the capital would be willing to marry their daughter to him?

"Zihou, I have to ask you for this." Jia Zheng sighed, "We have to make him understand in the future that studying hard is the only way out."

Indeed, my face is disfigured, and it will be difficult for me to continue playing with my sisters. What else can I do if I don’t study?
"It's natural."

"Don't worry, Lord Zheng." Chen Ran said solemnly, "I will definitely lead Brother Bao onto the right path."

He had no interest in Jia Baoyu and was only interested in the girls of the Jia family.

The reason for doing these things is purely because Jia Baoyu is blocking the way!
I strolled to the study and found that Jia Baoyu was not there.

Chen Ran didn't care. He sat leisurely on the chair and took out the storybook to read.

Once the news of his coming spreads, those who are interested will come to him.

Sure enough, not long after, Li Wan walked in with the sound of jingling jewelry, looking a little nervous.

Her maid was outside in the corridor taking a walk.

There was no way. In this era, if a widow were to meet a man outside her family, it would be a big deal if people knew about it.

"Mr. Number One Scholar." Li Wan bowed and saluted.

"Is Gongcai here?" Chen Ran put down the script and smiled, "Sit down and talk." Li Wan is not like Wang Xifeng, who only has mountains and valleys but is illiterate. She is a famous talented woman and even has her own name, Gongcai.

It was normal for scholars to exchange their names with each other when communicating with each other.

"Mr. Zhuangyuan." Li Wan said politely, and then asked, "I wonder how you think about what I said last time?"

"this."

Chen Ran said in an awkward manner, "I have a lot of things to do. I was recently appointed as the acting governor of Shuntian Prefecture. I have so many things to do every day that I can't finish them all."

"It's a rare day off, so I put aside my family affairs and came to teach Brother Bao. I have already consumed too much energy, and now I have one more student."

Li Wan also knew that this matter was difficult.

But she was a widow, and if she didn't want to remarry, she could only place all her hopes for the rest of her life on her son Jia Lan.

If you didn't want to join the army these days, the only way out was to study and take the imperial examinations.

As for the issue of favors and favors, Li Wan had long given up on the Jia family.

Jia Lan is the eldest son and grandson of the second wife's family, but which of the good things of the second wife's family belonged to Jia Lan?
All the good things belong to Baoyu, and you still expect favor? Dream on!

She came from a scholarly family. Her father was the chief academic officer of the Imperial College and was well-informed.

Of course I know how important a good teacher is if I want to pass the imperial examination.

The top scholar who takes part in the imperial examination and wins it at one stroke is definitely the best and most experienced teacher in the world.

This is the only chance, and for the sake of my son, I must not let it go.

"Brother Zihou." Li Wan simply addressed him as a scholar. "My son Jia Lan is smart and studious. He is definitely a seed of learning."

Chen Ran knew about this, and Jia Lan would indeed pass the imperial examination in the future.

However, he and Li Gongcai had too few interactions, and this was their only point of intersection, so how could he easily agree to it?

If we agree to everything Li Wan says, wouldn't we become a bootlicker in the modern world?

After a few words of small talk, Chen Ran simply replied, "This matter still needs the approval of the Lord Zheng."

Li Wan was also helpless.

Asking the top scholar to be your teacher is a huge favor.

All the favors were used on Jia Baoyu, so there was nothing left to share with Jia Lan.

Time was running out, so she had to say goodbye first.

When leaving the study, Li Wan made up her mind to accomplish this task!

Chen Ran stayed in the study until sunset, but did not see Jia Baoyu coming.

If it were another teacher, he would probably be so angry that he would be fuming.

But he didn't care at all. He put away the book, stretched, and stood up to leave.

A figure flashed outside the door, and a little girl poked her head out to look.

Chen Ran smiled and waved, "Girl, come in and talk."

The little girl came in coquettishly and looked at him curiously, "Are you the top scholar?"

"Yes, I am the top scholar." Chen Ran smiled and asked, "Whose child are you?"

"This is the Jia family, of course I am a child of the Jia family." The maid circled around Chen Ran and said, "They all say that you are very powerful, but why don't they see that you have three heads and six arms?"

Chen Ran simply sat back in his chair and looked at the girl, "Let me guess who you are."

"Okay." The girl stood in front of Chen Ran with a smile, tilted her head and looked at him, "Guess."

"It has to be a lucky number." Chen Ran joked, "If I don't guess it right, I'll give you a painting. If I guess it right, you call me good brother."

"Why are you like Brother Bao, shameless~~~"

The little girl turned around and ran out the door. "You know I like paintings, so you must know who I am. I won't bet with you~~~"

She is so brave, so she is definitely not a maid.

Among the girls of the Jia family, the only one he had not seen was Jia Xichun from the Ningguo Mansion.

Although he is young, he is very smart.

It seems that the girls in the Jia family all have some abilities.

But let’s not mention the male members of the Jia family.

He thought the matter was over, so he went home to eat and hug his wife.

But I never expected that when I came out of the study and arrived at the gate of the courtyard, a girl hurriedly ran in from the revolving door.

With Chen Ran's skills, he could naturally dodge it.

But after just a glance at the person coming, he stood firm, watched the person scream in surprise, and staggered into his arms.

Holding the girl steadily, Chen Ran smiled and said, "Miss Lin, what happened?"

Feeling the breath of Chen Ran, Lin Daiyu blushed with shame. She struggled weakly for a few times but was unable to stand up.

Fortunately, Chen Ran understood her shyness, helped her up and let go of her hand.

Lin Daiyu turned around hurriedly, raised her handkerchief to cover her face, lowered her head and stamped her feet.

"Sister Lin is not so impatient. What's the matter?" Chen Ran thought for a moment, and left after saying "goodbye".

The girl was feeling very shy, so it was no use saying anything at this moment. The only option was to just leave.

Sure enough, after seeing Chen Ran leave, Lin Daiyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked around, gritted her teeth and stamped her feet, "Jia Xichun! You've caused me so much trouble~~~"

PS: Dear Sirs, I will postpone the extra update at noon for the time being. I am a little bit exhausted. I am very sorry~~~
