Chapter 23: Facts speak louder than words

Yu Zizhen hugged Xinghua and didn't let go, "Xinghua is very smart and listens to me, she won't make trouble for me." ”

Mr. Jiang has a headache. A fool, his family actually said that the other party was smart......

Yu Zizhen said again: "I know that Mr. Jiang can't trust me, and thinks that I am just a child, and my words and actions are unreliable." But are you adults really more trustworthy and reliable than us children? Xinghua has always been obedient to me, and she can prove to you with her actions that she really won't cause me trouble. But what about you adults? What have you all done to me? ”

Mr. Jiang: ...... Pierced in the heart. For Yu Zizhen, a child who was sent to the capital as an abandoned son by his biological parents and was rectified by the accompanying servants, isn't the group of "adults" just a group of untrustworthy and unreliable guys.

Although he paid attention to Yu Zizhen since she was named the prince of Zhenbei, a series of things that happened in this short period of time made Mr. Jiang realize that Yu Zizhen was actually a very smart child.

How can such a child not see that he is a shield specially pushed by his parents to protect his younger brother?

From the overall situation, the choice of Zhenbei Wang and his wife may not be wrong, but from the perspective of this child, can she not feel disappointed and chilled by her parents?

In addition, Mama Hong, who was ordered by her mother to be her housekeeper, tossed her vigorously under the banner of Princess Zhenbei, and tossed her so hard that she relapsed on the first night of her departure.

After she has gone through this experience between life and death, how much blood affection for her parents can she keep?

Considering that annoying Yu Zizhen and making her ignore the horrific consequences of the trouble, Mr. Jiang compromised.

He agreed with Yu Zizhen that if Xinghua could really do it without causing trouble for Yu Zizhen, then he would allow Yu Zizhen to keep Xinghua by his side to serve.

On the other hand, if Xinghua can't, then he will help Yu Zizhen find a place to properly place Xinghua, so that she can live an ordinary but safe life.

Yu Zizhen agreed, anyway, Xinghua will definitely not hold her back, Mr. Jiang's so-called "reverse", in fact, there is no need to say it at all.

She looked at Zhang Niangzi and Liu Ping'an, "Who are these two?" ”

Only then did Mr. Jiang remember that he also brought two people over to serve Yu Zizhen, "This is Zhang Niangzi and Liu Ping'an, their mother and daughter were bought to serve the prince in the next place." ”

Yu Zizhen's hand hidden in the quilt rubbed it secretly, and she looked at Mr. Jiang, "Give me the deed." ”

Mr. Jiang knew that she wanted to hold the mother and daughter in her own hands, rather than let them become the eyes and ears and siblings of others.

He put the deed of Zhang Niangzi and Liu Ping'an on the table according to his words, "Then Shizi, you have a good rest, and if you have anything to serve in the future, you will let the next person call to come over." ”

Yu Zizhen nodded, "Mr. Thanks." ”

After Mr. Jiang left, Yu Zizhen looked at Zhang Niangzi and Liu Ping'an, who were nervous, "Can you tell me why you chose to sell yourself?" ”

In terms of food, clothing, shelter and transportation, the slaves of large families are indeed better off than ordinary people outside, but at the same time, they also have to lose their civilian qualifications.

Yu Zizhen believes that the vast majority of people in this world, as long as they have a choice, they will not be willing to let themselves and their descendants become cheap from good backgrounds.

"Back to the world, the slave and maid really can't live. The slave man died on the battlefield, and the slave and the slave and the slave's daughter were driven out of the house by the in-laws......"

She talked about her predicament a little incoherently, perhaps because Yu Zizhen had always been mild-mannered, and Zhang Niangzi gave Yu Zizhen all the old things at home without controlling it.

According to her, her husband Liu Qingshan is the second in the family, and since he was a child, he was not as good as the eldest brother and younger brother to be treated by his parents. The village apportioned a conscription quota, and the second elder of the Liu family insisted on reporting his name despite the fact that he had just married a wife and that his wife was still pregnant.

Zhang Niangzi prayed day and night that her husband could return safely, and even named her newborn child "Ping'an", but when Liu Ping'an was more than three years old, the news of Liu Qingshan's death still came from the border pass.

Part of Liu Qingshan's pension money was withheld by the yamen, and part of it was divided by the Liu family, and Zhang Niangzi's mother and daughter were directly swept out of the house by the second elder of the Liu family.

Mrs. Zhang, who had nowhere to go, took her daughter back to her parents' house, but her parents could only provide them with a place to stay, and Mrs. Zhang still had to find her own way to provide rations for the mother and daughter.

Fortunately, the post house here and Liu Qingshan are good brothers who grew up together in the same village, although it is not suitable to be involved in the affairs of the Liu family, but for the sake of Liu Qingshan's face, Zhang Niangzi was placed in the back kitchen of the post station to do rough work.

This job pays very little, but you can live with your children, and with him watching, Zhang Niangzi's mother and daughter can at least be half full, and they can not be bullied.

Yi Cheng is kind-hearted, but Zhang Niangzi's new daughter-in-law is a non-stingy person, she fell in love with Zhang Niangzi's work, and wanted to pry it into her own hands and let Zhang Niangzi go home to the field instead of her.

Mrs. Zhang disagreed, her father and brother couldn't count on it at all, and she was still counting on this job to earn money for herself and her daughter.

Her brother's daughter-in-law's wishful thinking did not work out, and in annoyance and anger, she began to spread rumors everywhere that Zhang Niangzi and Yicheng had a leg.

Yi Cheng's own mother-in-law is a cook at the post station, knowing that her husband and Zhang Niangzi have nothing, and even the two have kept their distance, even to help Zhang Niangzi, Yi Cheng only came up with ideas, and then Yi Cheng's own mother-in-law came forward to handle it.

But what's the use of just knowing these people at the inn? Zhang Niangzi's brother and daughter-in-law didn't come to the post station to bury Zhang Niangzi.

She spread rumors everywhere in the village, causing Zhang Niangzi to be pointed at by people who don't know the truth.

There were a few times when she returned to her parents' house for the New Year's holidays, and there were even unscrupulous men who tried to take advantage of her.

Mrs. Zhang was overwhelmed, and her in-laws' family also came over, wanting to use the power of rumors to snatch her daughter and the money she had saved in the past few years.

Their wishful thinking crackled, and they thought about picking money from Zhang Niangzi first, and then selling Liu Ping'an for a bride price.

Mrs. Zhang had already seen through the Liu family, so naturally she would not let them take away her daughter.

But as soon as she disagreed, her relatives in her mother's family and in-law's family refused to let her live a non-stop life.

They are making a lot of trouble, Yi Cheng doesn't care, there is no doubt that their behavior will affect the normal operation of the post station, Yi Cheng cares, those people will be able to splash dirty water on him again.

He was afraid that his reputation would be ruined, which would affect his personal future and the marriage of his children, so he recommended their mother and daughter to Mr. Jiang, who was about to buy someone.
