Chapter 22: New Minions
The doctor was the same doctor Feng who had seen Yu Zizhen when he was in the palace before, and from the pulse and the symptoms shown by Yu Zizhen, he came to a conclusion that Yu Zizhen was too frightened and caused the recurrence of the old disease.
As for the "nonsense" that Yu Zizhen said, Dr. Feng also relayed it to Mr. Jiang as it was.
Mr. Jiang was secretly glad that he had the opportunity to send Mama Hong away, looking at Yu Zizhen's posture, Mama Hong really caused a serious psychological shadow to her.
He glanced at the small figure lying on the side of Yu Zizhen's bed, motionless and guarding her, and then said to Doctor Feng with a headache: "You prescribe medicine and decoction for the prince first, and I will find someone who can serve her." ”
No matter how much Yu Zizhen is treated as a boy, she is still a girl, and now she needs someone to serve her closely, so Mr. Jiang can only go and buy a maid for her now.
Fortunately, they live in a post station in the north tonight, and on the land in the north, the four words Zhenbei Wangfu are still very good.
Mr. Jiang found Yicheng and gave such and such instructions.
Yi Cheng took the order, and then within a quarter of an hour brought him a pair of mother and daughter, who were skinny and had patches of clothes, but kept themselves very clean.
"My lord, this is Mrs. Zhang, this is her daughter Liu Ping'an. Liu Ping'an's father was a fallen soldier of our Zhenbei Army, and he was no longer there five years ago. The two of them were not treated well in the Liu family and the Zhang family, and they did not have their share in the pension, and the lower officials saw that they were really pitiful, so they kept letting them do rough work in the back kitchen of the post station. ”
Seeing that Mr. Jiang frowned slightly, Yi Cheng hurriedly added, "But don't worry, the lower officials didn't recommend them because they were pitiful." They are neat and meticulous, and they are also obedient to the rules, and they will definitely be able to serve the good son. ”
Mr. Jiang looked at the mother and daughter, and saw that although they were restrained and timid, their eyes were very clear, and in the middle of the night, he didn't have a place to slowly screen Yu Zizhen for better use, so he nodded slightly and said to Yicheng: "Can you tell them about signing the death deed?" ”
Yi Cheng nodded vigorously, "I said it, I said it." ”
Mr. Jiang then asked people to take the identity deed he had written, and asked the mother and daughter to sign it.
When he told Yicheng about this before, the reason he used was that the little maid was rude, how could he serve well, so he wanted to buy two other maids for the prince to serve.
Yi Cheng didn't suspect anything, and immediately went to find someone for Mr. Jiang when he was instructed.
Zhang Niangzi and Liu Ping'an, who happened to be sheltered by their husband and wife, were in a difficult situation at this time, and Yicheng was also trying to find another place for them.
Compared with other places, Zhenbei Wangfu is obviously the best place that Yicheng can find for the mother and daughter.
Although Mr. Jiang said that he would sign a death deed, compared with being forced to death by her husband's family and her mother's family, Yi Cheng believes that Mrs. Zhang will definitely prefer to take her daughter to take refuge in the Zhenbei Palace.
Zhang Niangzi's choice was as Yi Cheng expected, she almost didn't hesitate, and agreed to sell herself and her daughter into the Zhenbei Wangfu together.
The mother and daughter simply signed the deed of identity, received from Mr. Jiang the thirty-six taels of silver he gave on behalf of Yu Zizhen, and then were taken to wash from head to toe, change clothes, and simply teach the rules.
After working so busy for almost an hour, the two were taken to Yu Zizhen by Mr. Jiang.
The "weak" Yu Zizhen had "regained consciousness" at this time, and she was sitting weakly, her eyes staring at the apricot blossoms for a moment, watching her hold the empty bowl and carefully move it to the ground.
Except for Xinghua, who was asked by her to keep it a secret, no one knew that Yu Zizhen actually didn't really drink the bowl of bitter medicine soup that Dr. Feng cooked for her.
She is not sick, pretending to be sick is to sit on the fact that Mama Hong frightened her, and the second is to buy Zhang Niangzi and Liu Ping'an's mother and daughter logically.
Liu Ping'an is a cannon fodder character with three stars in importance, and the task points that she can get by taking her away are only a little less than taking away Xinghua.
"It's Mr. Jiang." Yu Zizhen glanced at Mr. Jiang and Zhang Niangzi's mother and daughter weakly, "I'm sick, is the trip going to be delayed again?" ”
Mr. Jiang waved his hand, "It's okay, the prince can recuperate with peace of mind." ”
With that, he turned his gaze to the little girl with the apricot blossom who seemed to be here in the first place, "This is ......"
"Xinghua, I want to take her to Beijing with me and continue to keep her by my side."
Mr. Jiang: ???
Mr. Jiang: !!
Yu Zizhen didn't wait for him to open his mouth before continuing: "In the past, my affairs, no matter how big or small, had no room for me to be in charge. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have been tossed with one serious illness after another. But from today onwards, I won't be so stupid anymore. At least the people around me, I have to make sure they mean good to me. ”
She stared at Mr. Jiang without evasion, "What many years of servants, what parents who have been ordered by me, are just the reason why Diao Nu used to oppress the young master." In the future, I will never be fooled again! ”
Mr. Jiang lowered his head a little weakly.
Although he didn't do anything excessive to Yu Zizhen, he witnessed the slave bullying that Yu Zizhen encountered.
At the beginning, he, like Yu Zizhen, was very concerned about Princess Zhenbei's face and feelings. Therefore, he did not be too tough on Mama Hong when she showed signs of slavery at the beginning, and Yu Zizhen relapsed because of her old illness and almost died.
He felt guilty about Yu Zizhen because of this incident, and at the same time, he was completely able to understand Yu Zizhen's unusually tough attitude.
After all, if he is replaced, he will also learn a lesson and make changes after almost losing his life.
But there is a problem here, that is, Xinghua is obviously not Yu Zizhen's strange magic power suddenly summoned from Zhenbei Palace, she can only be smuggled into the carriage by Yu Zizhen when she just set off.
Mr. Jiang weighed for a moment, and did not argue with Yu Zizhen about the timing of getting into the car with Yu Zizhen at a time when she was unwell, emotional, and extremely insecure.
He only took Xinghua's age to talk about things, "But this child's age is too young, and the most important thing is that her mind is different from ordinary people after all." For the sake of safety, it is better not to keep her by his side. ”
Yu Zizhen has been related to the palace by Princess Zhenbei before, and the only time she stepped out of the palace gate was when she saved Xinghua by chance last year.
Xinghua didn't sign the deed but lived in the palace, plus she was still a "fool" in other people's mouths, and basically everyone knew about her palace.
Mr. Jiang wanted to use the unusual people of Xinghua to dispel Yu Zizhen's idea of keeping people by his side, but Yu Zizhen was determined to keep Xinghua by his side.
