Chapter 112: The Eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival
About half a month ago, Yu Zizhen received a letter that was sent to Zhenbei Wangfu, which seemed to be just an ordinary greeting letter to an old friend, but some vague expressions in the letter made Yu Zizhen realize that this must be a letter sent by Lu Huaiyi's father and son to report safety.
She took the letter to Lu Huaiyi's wife, Pang Shi, and the other party quickly recognized that the handwriting on the letter belonged to Lu An, one of the Lu family's guards who went with her.
Lu An injured his right hand on the battlefield, and since then he has been practicing using his left hand to hold a knife and a pen under Lu Huaiyi's supervision.
Lu Huaiyi often took his writing back to the main courtyard to check whether he was practicing diligently, so Lu Huaiyi's wife Pang Zi witnessed Lu An's left-handed characters go from unformed to dog crawling characters, and then from dog crawling characters to clear and neat.
She also understood Lu An's obscure expression, and knew that Lu Huaiyi's father and son, Lu Ping and Lu An were all safe at the moment.
The letter was put away by her as a treasure, and her two daughters-in-law also learned from her that their husbands were safe for the time being.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cheered up a lot, and they became more and more grateful to Yu Zizhen.
At this time, Yu Zizhen proposed to let the Lu family change their faces and go out of Beijing around the Wanshou Festival, and do something for her that should not be exposed to other people's eyes, Pang Zi didn't even think about it, so he agreed on behalf of everyone in the Lu family.
She didn't ask Yu Zizhen what he was going to do, nor did she ask Yu Zizhen how he planned to send them out of the capital and how he would ensure the personal safety of their family.
It's not that she doesn't dare, but during the time she has been with Yu Zizhen, she has established absolute trust in Yu Zizhen.
***
A few days after the seventh half, Mr. Jiang found Yu Zizhen and reminded her that it was time to prepare the Mid-Autumn Festival ceremony for the people in Zhenbei Wangfu on the northern side.
Yu Zizhen nodded, "Got it, I'll go shopping tomorrow." โ
Anyway, she didn't have to spend money, and she didn't mind buying more for the Zhenbei King at all.
Well, by the way, she might be able to take some gas and buy some of the things she and her subordinates need.
When Mr. Jiang heard her say this, he knew that she was planning to go to the public account again, thinking of the letter sent by Princess Zhenbei to reprimand Yu Zizhen before, Mr. Jiang couldn't help but sigh secretly.
I don't know if it's because Yu Zizhen is cold to her father and mother, anyway, since she came to the capital, Mr. Jiang has found that she has an extra problem with picking on the door.
Not only did she go to the public account every time to give gifts to the Zhenbei Wangfu in the north, but she also firmly controlled her own small treasury, whether it was Yulu or the rewards given by the three people in the palace, she refused to take them out.
Not to mention paying to support the subordinates of the palace, the guards and him, the palace staff, she even refused to support herself, _(:ะท"โ )_
The things she usually eats and wears are either directly transported from the Zhuangzi and shops in the palace, or bought back with the income from the palace's industry.
This is an iron rooster that barely pulls a hair.
Of course, although Yu Zizhen's problem is strange, although it does not match Yu Zizhen's noble status as the prince of Zhenbei, Mr. Jiang has the same ambition as the king of Zhenbei he is loyal to, and he actually didn't see the little money that Yu Zizhen spent.
Because he didn't think it was a big deal, he acquiesced to Yu Zizhen taking advantage of the palace openly.
But the princess of Zhenbei, who is far away in the north, obviously has a different opinion with Mr. Jiang and the king of Zhenbei behind him, she is angry with Yu Zizhen's death, and she is angry that she takes advantage of the prince of the palace while hiding her private money, so she began to write letters to Yu Zizhen one by one after she failed to blow the pillow wind to the king of Zhenbei.
Every letter she wrote, there was not even a single word in it that cared about her body or daily life, and the mouth of Princess Zhenbei seemed to only say those offensive words when she faced Yu Zizhen.
is not like when facing Yu Zicheng, whether it is the tone or the wording, people can hear her motherly love for Yu Zicheng.
Fortunately, Yu Zizhen was not her own daughter in the first place, and after she read the first letter written to her by Princess Zhenbei out of curiosity, but saw the accusations throughout, Yu Zizhen never read Princess Zhenbei's letter in person.
After that, she directly asked Yuheng to read every letter on her behalf, "If there is something serious, I will read it again." โ
After this period of unremitting efforts, Yuheng has recognized a lot of commonly used words, although she does not know every word of the letter written by Princess Zhenbei, but the few new words do not prevent her from even guessing what Princess Zhenbei is expressing.
Every time she helped Yu Zizhen read the letter, the content of the letter would make her feel aggrieved and angry for Yu Zizhen. She is a real child, and if she is not happy, she will inevitably have seven emotions.
Mr. Jiang also sensed that Princess Zhenbei must not have said anything pleasant in the letter, well, she probably said something very unpleasant.
It's like this every time, Mr. Jiang thought to himself, and it's no wonder that Yu Zizhen was completely cold to Princess Zhenbei, and he didn't even want to read or reply to the letter she wrote.
Mr. Jiang knew that this was very unacceptable, and if the relationship between their mother and daughter continued to deteriorate, the disharmony between them would likely become a major hidden danger in the Zhenbei Wangfu in the future.
He wanted to persuade Yu Zizhen, but Yu Zizhen had a very correct idea, and he said that Yu Zizhen would be his monk and recite the scriptures, and he would not listen to it.
He tactfully reminded the prince to restrain the princess, but the princess was also a stubborn person, and she agreed on the surface, but behind her back, she still went her own way and was stubborn.
The mother and daughter have an unprecedented tacit understanding in this regard, and neither of them is willing to give in, so the relationship is naturally not good.
Mr. Jiang was worried, but Yu Zizhen didn't take it seriously at all.
She was happy, because the eldest prince had finally agreed to go out of the palace with her.
She has completely healed the eldest prince's leg, in order to avoid the ubiquitous eyeliner in the palace, she secretly taught the eldest prince who has recovered his health to practice martial arts and strengthen his body, and recently she has been lobbying the eldest prince to go out of the palace with her.
The eldest prince was very moved, but he was also very worried, and in the end, it was his father, His Majesty the Emperor, who had a deep conversation with him in private, so he conformed to his heart, and nodded when Yu Zizhen mentioned this matter again.
The first time he left the palace, Yu Zizhen originally planned to take him to see the bustle and bustle of the capital, but Mr. Jiang came to remind her to buy things again, so she simply combined the two things together.
"I'll bring the eldest prince over for lunch, and you have to worry more about the dishes, Aunt Zhang." Dropping such a sentence, he gave Zhang Niangzi another hundred taels of silver, and asked her to go to the big kitchen to buy ingredients, and Yu Zizhen took a carriage to the palace to pick up the eldest prince Xiao Yuanjin.
