Chapter 77 The Apprentice, Master Yu
Uncle San hesitated for a while and said in shame: "But Hachiro, Uncle San really doesn't know how to do it, I'm afraid that it will be a mistake for Hachiro by then."
Yu Shunchen comforted him with a gentle voice: "It doesn't matter if you don't know, I can learn."
The third uncle thought Yu Shunchen was asking him to learn, and wanted to say that he would give it a try. He was about to speak up and realized that Yu Shunchen was not asking him to learn.
"Ah? Are you studying?" Uncle San thought he had heard it wrong again, and grew up in shock.
Yu Shunchen nodded and said calmly: "It shouldn't be difficult."
When the third uncle left the study in a daze, he couldn't help but wonder, is there something big happening in the court recently related to building a house, so that the official such a big man, Hachiro had to learn how to build a house?
Alas, it seems that no one can do it for a high-ranking official! Hachiro is really hardworking!
After the court was over the next day, Yu Shunchen personally went to the home of the general and master craftsman who was in charge of the general and the supervisor, and asked him about building a house.
The General Manager is specially in charge of palace construction. The current Great Sage Palace was built by the General Manager who was drawing and supervising the construction.
Lu Dajiang was an old man who was nearly seventy years old and had a little back. After hearing Yu Shunchen's intentions three times, he realized that Yu Zhongling came over to learn how to build a house from him. Lu Dajiang thought it was very strange, but when they came to the door, he agreed without saying anything.
Ying Dongjun has never asked Yu Shunchen about the matter of repairing the house. She believed in Yu Shunchen's ability to do things, so she didn't know that the grand Sect Master Ling would go to Lu Dajiang's house to be an apprentice after going to court every day. While listening to Lu Dajiang's talk about the structure of the house, she handed the master a saw, brought water, etc.
In the princess's mansion, Yin Nanting's injuries have gradually healed after Xiao Jixiang's treatment. The bruises on his face and scars on his body have faded, and he has returned to his original handsome appearance. Unfortunately, his right hand is now difficult to pick up chopsticks.
Yu Shunchen seemed to have done it. When he was probably thinking that the bruises on Yin Nanting's face had almost faded, he sent his entourage to the princess's mansion to pick up people.
Unfortunately, it was not so smooth.
Yin Nanting learned that Yu Shunchen had sent someone to pick him up and leave the princess's mansion. Not only was he overjoyed, he went to see the princess.
Princess Chengping asked Zhou Yan to take the person to her yard.
This was the first time Yin Nanting saw the princess after entering the princess's mansion. He had been recuperating in the outer courtyard these days. The princess stayed in the inner courtyard every day and sent the eunuch named Xiao Jixiang beside him to see him several times. However, the princess herself had never appeared and had never given a word. It seemed that she had forgotten that there was someone like Yin Nanting in the outer courtyard.
When Yin Nanting walked into the yard, the princess was sitting by the pond fishing. The bait had been put down, but the fishing rod was not held in her hand, but stood aside casually. She held her chin and looked at the shimmering tooth surface, not caring whether there were any fish willing to take the bait.
Yin Nanting walked up to the princess and saluted the princess respectfully.
The princess turned her gaze to him, looked at him, and asked with a smile, "How is the injury?"
Yin Nanting raised his right hand and made a fist clench, but his fingers were bent very hard. He smiled wryly and said, "I'm afraid I'll be a useless person in the future."
Ying Dongjun: "If you go to Lord Yu, he will teach you how to use your left hand."
Yin Nanting bit his lip, bent his knees and knelt in front of Ying Dongjun, and whispered: "Princess, I don't want to go to Lord Yu's place, so please keep me."
Ying Dongjun laughed when he heard this, "Do you know how many people want to be a student for Yu Shunchen? But you want to refuse?"
Yin Nanting was silent for a moment, and said frankly with a wry smile: "I know this is a rare opportunity, but people are more likely to know themselves. Although Yin's studies were quite acceptable at the beginning, it took me several times more effort than others to maintain it. But even though I had worked so hard, I also knew that with my own ability, I would never be able to pass the Jinshi. Even though I knew it was a dead end with no way out, Yin didn't want to go."
Ying Dongjun glanced at Yin Nanting and smiled again.
Yin Nanting blushed when the princess smiled like this, and whispered: "Does the princess look down on someone like Yin?"
Ying Dongjun said: "Which path you take is your own business. I will not interfere or look down on it."
Yin Nanting breathed a sigh of relief and plucked up the courage to say, "Can the princess take me in?"
Ying Dongjun looked at him and said with a smile: "You know that there is no way out for the imperial examination. Can you follow me to have a way out? If you want to find someone to rely on me and find me, it is better to go to Ningxiang. Although she is not a thing, the power of the Huai Palace behind her should not be underestimated. You go to the Huai Palace to find a discipleship position, and in a few years, you can naturally enter the court and become an official. There are many people in this court who can make a future by taking this path."
Yin Nanting's face changed when he heard the name of the Ningxiang County Lord, and gritted his teeth and said, "Although Yin is not a gentleman with integrity, he will never wave his tail to beg for mercy from someone like Ningxiang County Lord! No matter how powerful the Prince Huai Mansion is, I, Yin Nanting, will not rely on you!"
Ying Dongjun laughed and joked, "If I remember correctly, my reputation outside is not as good as Ningxiang, right? Why are you willing to come to the Princess' Mansion?"
Yin Nanting said with disgust: "The evil things the county lord of Ningxiang did are so numerous that it is difficult to write down. However, because Prince Huai's mansion is powerful, all the things have been smoothed out for her! As for the princess... Yin knew that the princess was just straightforward, not what was said outside."
Ying Dongjun smiled and said, "You really know how to make me happy."
"Yin is not trying to make the princess happy." Yin Nanting looked up at the princess, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Every word that Yin said is heartfelt. Princess, in fact, the last time she was in the alley, it was not the first time Yin saw the princess."
Ying Dongjun was a little surprised now.
"Oh? We've met before?"
"I've seen it!" Yin Nanting nodded and looked at Ying Dongjun and said, "Thirteen years ago, the princess came out of the palace and met a pair of beggar brothers on the roadside. Do the princess still remember it?"
Ying Dongjun thought about it and shook his head, "I don't remember."
Yin Nanting said: "The beggars, siblings and parents died and were adopted by relatives in the clan. Unexpectedly, the relative just wanted to occupy the ancestral house left by the siblings and parents in the name of adoption, and then drove the siblings out. The siblings and siblings could only beg for a living. The younger brother was young and weak, and fell ill a few days later. The older sister carried his younger brother to ask pedestrians for help on the roadside, trying to sell himself, and using the money to sell his body to find a doctor to treat his brother."
