Chapter 24: Moderate Cleverness

Zhang Niangzi knew that the Yicheng family had been patient for a long time, and it was impossible for them to be forced to bear those troubles all the time because of their mother and daughter, so she agreed after a little inquiry about the situation of Yu Zizhen and others.

It's not that she doesn't want to be a civilian, it's that she can't continue to protect her daughter and herself under the pressure of the Zhang family and the Liu family step by step.

Just like Yi Cheng said, it is not easy to find a good family like Zhenbei Wangfu, she and her daughter can take refuge in the prince's mansion, and they are actually lucky.

With such a thought, Zhang Niangzi waited for Yu Zizhen to be extra attentive.

The next day, the eunuchs and accompanying officials who came from the capital got the news, and they came to Yu Zizhen with a very complicated feeling.

Yu Zizhen was told by Dr. Feng that she had to stay in bed to recuperate, so she could only sit there and give gifts to those officials and eunuchs who were called visiting the sick and were actually inquiring about the news.

Because the high fever has not completely subsided, Yu Zizhen's face is flushed, her lips are white, and she is in a state of listlessness, but she still smiles sweetly, and politely supports the exchange of greetings with those officials and eunuchs.

She is so humble and polite, and she does not snub others because she is a super-grade prince of the palace, which makes those officials and eunuchs suddenly have a better impression of her.

Everyone knew that she still needed to recuperate, so she sat for a while and left with Mr. Jiang, and Yu Zizhen was not idle, she found out the deed of sale of Zhang Niangzi and Liu Ping'an, and threw it directly into the brazier and burned it.

Zhang Niangzi was frightened, and knelt down for Yu Zizhen with a pop, "Shizi ......"

"Don't be nervous, I'm not trying to drive you away." Yu Zizhen motioned to Xinghua to help her up, "I just don't want the orphans of the border soldiers to become cheap." ”

Zhang Niangzi's tears suddenly flowed even more fiercely, this is the first time, some people recognized her husband's dedication, and some people looked down on them because of their status as orphans of border soldiers.

She wiped away her tears, only to feel that she had a thousand words to say in her heart, but she didn't know how to say a complete sentence in her mouth.

Yu Zizhen knew that she must be in a complicated mood at this time, so she smiled and comforted her and Liu Ping'an, "In the future, you can rest assured to follow me, as long as you are loyal to me and do things for me, I will always protect you." ”

Mrs. Zhang pulled her daughter and couldn't help but say that each person kowtowed to her three times, "Thank you, Shizi!" Thank you, Shizi! Slaves and maids must be faithful and do things well. ”

Yu Zizhen smiled, "Don't call yourself a slave in the future, just call yourself a 'subordinate'." ”

Mrs. Zhang was full of excitement, and pulled her daughter to answer loudly "yes".

Yu Zizhen said again: "I don't need you to serve here for the time being, while our convoy hasn't left yet, you can go and catch up with the Yicheng lady more." In the future, the mountains and rivers are far away, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to have the opportunity to meet again. ”

Zhang Niangzi hesitated, "Slaves, subordinates should stay and take care of you." ”

"Not necessarily." Yu Zizhen lay down slowly, "Then I will sleep for a long time, let Xinghua stay in the house, and touch my forehead from time to time." ”

Zhang Niangzi gritted her teeth, "Then go down and go back." ”

She didn't want to go to the Yicheng lady to catch up, but wanted to buy something to thank the Yicheng family for protecting her and her daughter over the years.

When she promised to sign the death deed to enter the palace before, she actually thought about leaving some money for the Yicheng family as a thank you, after all, she didn't know that Yu Zizhen would give her a holiday at that time, so that she would have time to buy a thank you gift.

But the Yicheng lady refused her very resolutely at that time, and the two tore it back and forth several times, and every time she finally stuffed the money over, the Yicheng lady would not give her back again.

Mrs. Zhang was very helpless, she was busy going with Yicheng to see Mr. Jiang, so naturally she couldn't tear it up with Yicheng Niangzi indefinitely, she had no choice but to take back the money.

Now Yu Zizhen is willing to give her a chance to reminisce and say goodbye to her old friend, and she immediately thought of buying a thank you gift for Yicheng's family.

Leaving Liu Ping'an and letting her take care of Yu Zizhen with Xinghua, Zhang Niangzi hurriedly went out.

She didn't know that Yu Zizhen actually had another purpose in doing this, so she was full of sighs for the generosity and kindness of her new master.

Hurriedly bought two packets of sugar cubes, two roast chickens, two muslins, and a pair of glossy silver bracelets with real weight but no patterns.

Yicheng Niangzi has a big girl who has been married, muslin and silver bracelets, and Zhang Niangzi gave them out in the name of adding makeup to her.

This time, the Yicheng lady did not insist on refusing, and after a few polite words between the two of you, the Yicheng lady accepted the gift brought by Zhang Niangzi.

At the same time, one of the guards of the Zhenbei Wangfu also told Mr. Jiang about Yu Zizhen's deed of sale and Zhang Niangzi's gratitude to Yicheng's family.

Mr. Jiang touched his beard and pulled the corners of his mouth, "Shizi, this is buying people's hearts." ”

It's a smart one, but it's a pity that the means are still too immature. Such a clumsy and straightforward way of doing things can only buy an ignorant village woman like Zhang Niangzi from the countryside.

But that's okay, for them and the king of Zhenbei, whether Yu Zizhen, who is a proton, is stupid and unaware, or too smart and too old, the level of trouble is actually the same.

On the contrary, her current appearance is the most convenient for them to guide from the side.

Mr. Jiang was thinking about it, but suddenly there was a burst of insulting sound outside the post station.

The guard went out to take a look at the situation, "Sir, it's the Liu family." ”

The Liu family came to pick up Liu Ping'an, and they found a husband who was willing to pay twenty taels of silver as a bride price, and the other party was anxious to let Liu Ping'an marry into the door to Chongxi, a seriously ill son, so the wedding date was set very close.

In order not to delay tomorrow's auspicious time, the Liu family said today that they had to bring Liu Ping'an back to the Liu family.

Because of the firm belief that they have to take people away today no matter what, the Liu family did not retreat a little this time just because this is a post station.

While they were scolding and shouting, they were about to rush to the post station with the strength of the crowd.

However, to their surprise, this time it was not their old acquaintance Yicheng who stopped them at the door, but a team of fierce soldiers with armor and awe-inspiring momentum.

These soldiers are different from Yi Cheng's talk-oriented, and the first thing they do when facing the Liu family is to unsheath their weapons.

The sharp spears and blades of the snow were lined up, so frightened that the Liu family didn't dare to rush forward anymore.

"W-What's going on?" The old lady of the Liu family, who took the lead in making trouble, was weak, and she squeezed her eldest son's hand hard, "How could so many soldiers suddenly appear in the post station?" ”
