Chapter 73: Pretending to be stupid
In other words, her mother's family not only couldn't borrow the light of her mother-in-law's family at all, but she didn't even get a few dowries for marrying her daughter, which means that a good daughter was directly given to her mother-in-law as a cow and a horse, and she was beaten and scolded.
And because she is married, it is not good for her mother's family to go to the restaurant owner to take advantage of her.
Chickens fly eggs and fight, stealing chickens is not a counter-erosion, and a handful of rice is said to be their family.
They didn't dare to hate their in-laws, and the girl didn't dare to hate her husband and mother-in-law, so they hated the restaurant owner and the family who had poisoned them here.
So they relied on their own relatives with the officials (although they were only relatives of a small sesame official who did not enter the stream, but in the circle of ordinary people, it was enough for them to fight against people), and began to take targeted revenge on the restaurant owner's family.
First, the second son of the restaurant owner was broken his hands and feet, and then his youngest daughter was targeted by a well-known ruffian bully on the street, and she had to be taken as a child.
The ruffian bully is not only a whole round older than the restaurant owner's youngest daughter, but also a rotten person who can even beat his own women and children, how can the restaurant owner be willing to give his daughter to such a person.
But he didn't agree, so the other party sent a few younger brothers to their restaurant every day to make trouble, so that their business couldn't go on at all.
The second son of the restaurant owner needs to be treated, and he needs money and a good doctor, but the local ruffian bully not only messed up their family's business, but also sent a message to the nearby medical centers on several streets, saying that if any family dared to treat the second son of the restaurant owner, he asked his group of younger brothers to go to which one to make trouble every day, so as to disrupt their business.
When the proprietors of those medical centers heard this, how could they dare to let their own doctors treat the second son of the restaurant owner.
There is a kind doctor, and quietly recommended to the owner of the restaurant a certain medical hall where the owner is a big official, indeed, the medical hall, as he said, is something that the local ruffian bully can't afford to provoke, but the problem is that the medical hall is also as he said, the cost of seeing a doctor and prescribing medicine is far from being comparable to those ordinary medical centers.
In order to make up for his son's medical expenses, the owner of the restaurant finally transferred all the shops and houses to others at a low price, but even so, his son still failed to fully recover in the end. His left leg was lame, and his right hand could no longer lift heavy objects.
The restaurant owner's youngest daughter is a fierce man, and in order to get revenge on the ruffian bully who gathered the crowd to injure her brother, she walked out of the infirmary that served as a temporary shelter for one of their families, and deliberately sent herself to the ruffian bully.
The owner of the restaurant found that she was missing, and when she inquired about it, she had already killed the ruffian bully who had killed her family with the arsenic she had gotten from the infirmary, but in order to win the trust of the ruffian bully, she drank the jug of wine herself.
The living daughter walked out, but not long after she turned into a cold corpse and was brought back by her husband, the wife of the restaurant owner couldn't stand the successive blows, and died of illness not long after.
The owner of the restaurant turned white overnight, took the coffins of his son and wife and daughter, and left Beijing to join his eldest daughter as soon as the city gate opened.
It wasn't until the eldest son, who was lucky enough to not die and had made military achievements, won the opportunity to return to Beijing with the general, and found out the reason why all the letters he sent back were lost in the sea and the whereabouts of his family, and looked for them as soon as possible, and the restaurant owner and his second son knew that the tragic experience of their family was actually the handiwork of their former in-laws.
The time when Yu Zizhen appeared happened to be the point where the former in-laws of the restaurant owner's family had already made another appointment for their daughter, but the two families had not yet set a date for marriage.
At this time, the biggest annoyance of the restaurant owner's family was that the restaurant owner's eldest son had not heard from him for months, and that every day there were annoying guys who came to take away the various ingredients they had prepared.
In this case, even if Yu Zizhen jumped out, it would be useless, so she didn't do anything, just acted as an ordinary customer of the Zheng family's restaurant.
After eating here, Yu Zizhen dropped a sentence of "it tastes good" as a foreshadowing for the next visit, and then checked out and left.
After coming out of the Zheng family's restaurant, Yu Zizhen did not continue to hang out, she got into the carriage and returned to the Zhenbei Wangfu under the protection of the chief and the guards.
In the next few days, Yu Zizhen lived a busy day of getting up early to practice martial arts, entering the palace in the morning, staying in the palace in the afternoon to continue classes, or going to the Hanlin Academy to find the Hanlin people to open a small stove for her, and returning to the palace in the evening to continue to recharge herself.
For a few days, her teachers and classmates had a rough idea of what she was good at, what she was not good at, what she liked, and what she didn't like.
Unlike the situation where the eldest prince does not put in much effort, but his schoolwork is still far ahead and belongs to the top-notch children, Yu Zizhen's character set up for herself is the kind of person who has to pay more than twice the effort of ordinary people in order to barely achieve the same results as ordinary people......
She came early in class and left late, listened to lectures very seriously, not only actively completed her homework after class, but also often went to Hanlin Academy to read books and ask for advice, and was a rare diligent student in the eyes of teachers.
However, just like Lu Heng said when he complained to Wan Jingrong about her in private, "He worked hard enough, but he couldn't stand his father and mother not giving him a smart brain that could make him quickly remember the Four Books and Five Classics." ”
What Lu Heng, who despises and despises Yu Zizhen's IQ, doesn't know is that Yu Zizhen is actually pretending.
Others thought that she was soaking in the Hanlin Academy all day long, forgetting to sleep and eating, and catching up with the progress of her classmates under the guidance of the teacher, but they didn't know that although she entered and exited the Hanlin Academy under the banner of "making up classes", her real purpose was to be able to enter the library of the Hanlin Academy openly.
She is different from those students who study to gain fame, she studies to better understand the environment, and if she has the opportunity, she even wants to go to various yamen in the capital and surrounding counties to read their documents, case files, county records, etc.
Yaoguang and Yuheng, who knew that their family was not stupid at all, complained about her, but Yu Zizhen himself didn't care about her "stupid" reputation at all.
Rather, that's what she wants, something she deliberately created. As a proton, she is the most happy and reassuring person if she doesn't learn and can't do anything. But she didn't want to be treated like a straw bag, so she chose a reckless lady with "developed limbs and a simple mind" for herself.
In order to let his two little followers, who are still young and have a strong sense of victory, learn to hide their clumsiness, Yu Zizhen deliberately taught them with a serious face, "The rafters in the early days are rotten first, and it is easy to be jealous of people if they are all-round talents or something, in order to prevent those cautious guys from targeting us, we can't be too high-profile." ”
