Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted
Chapter 21: Just a casual acquaintance, but giving a precious gift?
In fact, it was not Zhou Jin’s fault that day.
As soon as he left the palace, Zhou Jin learned that his grandmother was in trouble and left in a hurry. He did not participate in writing the manifesto to punish the traitors.
Afterwards, when something happened to them, Marquis Changning certainly wouldn't let Zhou Jin have any contact with them.
A few people waited outside the pavilion for a long time, and seeing that no one came, they got on the carriage and left.
Yu Chengzhi is thirty years old this year. He was born into a small clan in the south. He was smart since childhood and relied on the support of his clansmen to study and passed the imperial examination.
Although he is not extremely talented, he is very pragmatic.
He followed Zhou Jin and Wang Shiwen not because he was impulsive or acting on impulse, but also because he wanted to gain fame and recognition through this incident.
But he underestimated His Majesty's protection of Uncle Li.
Mrs. Yu held her child in her arms and kept wiping away tears. They had finally settled down in the capital, but now they had to go to the remote northwest.
In order to make her husband's life in prison easier, she used all the family savings to bribe the prison bosses.
All they had on them were a dozen taels of silver and her worthless jewelry.
Yu Chengzhi took the child and handed over the gift list and the brocade bag containing the silver.
"Madam, don't cry. The Marquis of Changning's Mansion has sent a gift list. Please keep it."
Mrs. Yu was stunned. She was the daughter of a scholar and could read.
After reading it, Madam Yu was pleasantly surprised. "The Marquis of Changning is really generous. Before, I blamed Lord Zhou for getting you into trouble. Now, I am judging others by my own standards."
Madam Yu opened the carriage window curtain and stuck her head out to look at the carriage behind. There was not only silver, but also a whole carriage of other things.
In addition, there was a coachman and two guards escorting him.
With them, the journey will be much safer.
Yu Chengzhi nodded, feeling deeply moved!
I used to think that Zhou Jin was arrogant, spoke sharply and bluntly, and was not as smooth and easy to get along with as Wang Shiwen.
A friend in need is a friend indeed. Zhou Jin is more true than Wang Shiwen and is worth following!
At this time, Yu Chengzhi secretly rejoiced that Zhou Jin was fine.
In the future, when he served as an official in other places, he could still exchange letters with Zhou Jin and obtain news from the court.
It's not like the emperor is so far away that you are completely in the dark.
Without anyone to help him run the business, he estimated that he would have to live in the cold and barren land of the northwest for the rest of his life.
About half an hour later, someone came after them.
It turned out to be a servant sent by Wang Shiwen, who brought one hundred taels of silver as a gift.
"Don't blame me, Master Yu. My young master was beaten to pieces by the old master and can't go out. I specially asked me to see you off. Please forgive me."
Lord Yu said politely, "Brother Wang has his own difficulties, and I know everything. Please go back and thank Brother Wang."
After some polite words and collecting the silver, Lord Yu got on the carriage again.
Madam Yu took the silver and her eyes lit up, "My husband, with this silver, we can live better in the northwest. Prince Wang is also thoughtful."
With the things sent by the Changning Marquis' Mansion, the one hundred taels of silver that Wang Shiwen had someone send were not so precious.
Yu Chengzhi did not tell his wife about these things, thinking about what to do in the future.
The carriage continued to move forward, and another hour passed.
Someone else came to see Yu Chengzhi off, "Master Yu, please stay!"
The carriage stopped. Lord Yu did not recognize the visitor. His elegant face was full of confusion. "Which family's servant are you? What do you want to call me for?"
The servant was respectful and quickly gave Cheng Yi a gift.
"Your Excellency, I am the attendant of Major General Xie Jin, and I am here on the orders of my Major General to present you with a gift. The mountains are high and the road is long, but this is a small gift from my Major General, please accept it."
Yu Chengzhi was stunned and even more confused.
He did know Xie Jin, but they were just casual acquaintances, not worthy of being given a gift of Cheng Yi.
"Thank you for your kindness, Major General. I don't know when I can return from my absence from Beijing. I have no way to repay your kindness, Major General. Please take it back."
Silver is a good thing, but not everyone’s silver can be taken.
Seeing that Yu Chengzhi didn't want it, the servant directly put the silver into the carriage through the window.
"My young general respects Lord Yu for his noble character. I am only following orders. Lord Yu, please don't embarrass me."
After saying this, the servant rode away in a hurry on his horse.
Yu Chengzhi was stunned and didn't dare to accept the money, but he was ordered to leave Beijing and could not return.
There is definitely something wrong here, and Yu Chengzhi was panicking.
Yu Chengzhi decided to ask someone to go back and inquire, but who should he ask?
Comparing Zhou Jin and Wang Shiwen, Yu Chengzhi decisively chose Zhou Jin.
Zhou Jin spoke rather bluntly, but he definitely had no intention of harming him, otherwise he would not have prepared such a detailed ceremony.
Yu Chengzhi instructed the guards of the Marquis of Changning's Mansion to hand over the bag containing two hundred taels of silver.
"My brave man, Major General Xie Jin sent me two hundred taels of silver. I dare not accept it, and I don't know what Major General Xie's intention is. Please hurry back and ask Brother Zhou."
Guard Song took the silver and said, "Yes, Lord Yu."
Lord Yu also instructed, "Don't worry, brave man. Wait until you find out everything and then tell me. I will try to take the official road and stay at the post station to make it convenient for you to catch up with me."
"Yes, Lord Yu." After paying his respects, Guard Song mounted his horse and rode quickly back to the city.
At this time, in the ancestral hall of Changning Marquis Mansion.
Zhou Jin was still kneeling on the mat stubbornly, his handsome face pale and bloodless.
At this time, Lai Fu came quickly to Zhou Jin with a look of joy in his eyes. The prince must be very happy.
"Sir, just now Madam and Madam asked me to deliver the gifts to the four adults who are leaving Beijing. The four adults did not blame you, so you don't need to feel too guilty."
Zhou Jin was slightly startled when he heard this, and then showed joy on his face, "Mother is really thoughtful."
Hearing this, Lai Fu felt that he should speak a fair word for the Crown Prince's wife, "Crown Prince, it was the Crown Prince's wife's idea to send Cheng Yi to the four adults."
"Impossible!" Zhou Jin blurted out, his eyes full of suspicion.
Gu Xiling hated him so much, why would she pay for something so thankless?
Lai Fu was not happy. "Prince, let me tell you, what has the Crown Prince's wife prepared for the four adults? Lord Yu was demoted to Shanzhou in the northwest, and the Crown Prince prepared furs..."
As Lai Fu continued his narration, Zhou Jin's gaze became brighter and brighter, and his beautiful narrow eyes became wider and wider.
He murmured to himself, and had to admit that Gu Xiling had thought of every aspect, "Gu, she is thoughtful."
Gu Xiling values his colleagues and friends so much, she must care about him and be concerned about him.
Alas, you are just too good at pretending, and you are sharp-tongued. Can’t you be a little more gentle?
Talk to him nicely and don't be rude to him, then you can get along well with him, right?
"The Crown Prince's wife is so virtuous. Crown Prince, please don't bully her in the future." Lai Fu dared to persuade Zhou Jin at this time.
Compared to Gu Xirong, who had two faces in front of and behind people, Lai Fu found that the prince's wife was so nice.
Zhou Jin glared at Lai Fu who was committing treason, and felt aggrieved because it was obviously Gu Xiling who provoked him every time.
When did he bully Gu Xiling?
This dog slave is probably going to betray him in order to marry a beautiful wife!
While Zhou Jin and Lai Fu, the master and servant, were "fighting", Guard Song had already returned to the Changning Marquis' Mansion to report to Mrs. Song, the Marquis of Changning.
Song knew Gu Xirong, but did not know Xie Jin.
She also didn't understand the deeper meaning of Xie Jin's action, so she asked Nanny Song to call Gu Xiling and Zhou Jin over.
