Rebirth of the Guardian Cute Baby
Chapter 236: Another Background, Not Mother and Daughter, But Sisters
Zhen Jing first went to the place where Zhen Niangzi was washing clothes, found her and asked her to stop washing clothes and follow her.
Mrs. Zhen didn't recognize that this was her daughter at first, until Zhen Jing talked to her, then she realized that the girl wearing boy's clothes was her daughter.
She quickly packed up, handed in the unfinished work, and followed Zhen Jing to leave the riverside where they were washing clothes and go up the bridge.
The bridge has a wide view, and you can see far away from the bridge. At this time, there were also pedestrians on the bridge in twos and threes. When Lady Zhen saw her daughter stop, she asked, "Hanyan, where did you get such a fine piece of clothing?"
Zhen Jing said with a smile, "I borrowed the clothes. Mom, look at that rich man in the distance."
Madam Zhen followed the direction of Zhen Jing's finger and asked blankly, "Which one is the rich man?"
Then he pointed at a man in white and said, "This man is a rich man. We will go to him to make some money later." Then he whispered in Lady Zhen's ear for a while.
Upon hearing this, Lady Zhen couldn't help but push her away and said, "Isn't that fraud?"
"Ahem, what's this about hitting someone with a car? We're just doing good deeds!"
As they were talking, the target person came closer. Madam Zhen was still hesitating, so Zhen Jing had to pull her forward quickly. When she was about to pass the man, she gently pushed Madam Zhen. Madam Zhen rushed forward, but she didn't expect that the target person was agile and dodged, and even helped Madam Zhen who was about to fall.
"Sister, be careful!"
Madam Zhen raised her hand and touched her forehead embarrassedly. She glanced at the young master and said repeatedly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Thank you for your help."
The young master waved his hand and was about to continue walking forward. Madam Zhen said quickly, "From my observation of your face, you may encounter a bloody disaster today. I suggest you not to go to the restaurant or teahouse to meet up with friends."
Just as the young master was about to speak, Madam Zhen said sincerely, "Please remember this, if you must go, you must bring a bodyguard with you."
The young man was about 27 or 28 years old. He was stunned for two seconds after hearing what Lady Zhen said, then he laughed: "Are you a physiognomist? Thank you for telling me. I will be careful to keep the appointment."
After saying that, he took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and handed it to Zhen Jing, who was holding Madam Zhen's sleeve.
Zhen Jing took it quickly without saying a word and handed it to Madam Zhen.
What is this thing? Is it silver? She needs Lady Zhen to identify it.
Madam Zhen took it in her hand and felt it, and she knew that it was a piece of silver worth about two taels. She only earned a few copper coins from washing clothes for others every day. She had not seen such a large piece of silver for many years.
She excitedly kept saying "No, no, it's too much, too much" until Zhen Jing pulled her back and she came to her senses. The young man had already walked away.
"Hanyan, this young master is really generous. My mother can only earn one or two taels of silver a year at most!"
Zhen Jing already knew about Lady Zhen's life story. How could this concubine be so shabby? The master was reluctant to give her even a little money. Looking at Lady Zhen's silly and satisfied smile, Zhen Jing couldn't help but sigh.
The two returned to the room in the inn and sat down on the bed.
Zhen Jing asked:
"Mom, do you know your birth date?"
"Birth date? I know!" Madam Zhen went to look through her bag, found a neatly folded white cloth and opened it. There were a few lines of words on it. "This is my birth date. My mother found it in my swaddling clothes when she picked me up. She told me to keep it well. Maybe one day I can use this to meet my biological parents..."
Madam Zhen looked disappointed when she said this.
"I didn't expect that you would be the first person to ask me about my birth date. I'm already 22 years old, and my biological parents may not come to find me! I guess this thing is useless!"
"You're only 22 years old? Why do you look so old?" Zhen Jing said and quickly added, "Actually, you're quite young, but you don't look as young as 22."
"I'm not really old, I just have some grey hair!"
Madam Zhen smiled, with an expression of vicissitudes that was inconsistent with her age.
"Haven't you always wondered why I was Master Yan's mistress? Actually, I'm not Master Yan's mistress. My mother is Master Yan's mistress..."
"Mother is not Master Yan's concubine. She is Master Yan's original wife. When they got married, Master Yan was captured and forced to serve in the army. Mother followed the troops to chase him, but she didn't catch up with Master Yan. However, she found me on the roadside. After ten years of fighting, the king's army returned to the court after conquering the Central Plains in the north. All those who were captured and sent to fight that year returned alive, including Master Yan. He did not return because he married another wife."
"This Master Yan is just a Chen Shimei! How did you become Master Yan's mistress again?"
"I followed my mother to find Master Yan. After we found Master Yan, he didn't deny my mother. He rented a house in the suburbs for my mother to live in. He also said that he had no choice but to remarry. A female general of the enemy country took a fancy to him and insisted on marrying him in exchange for a ceasefire. So he was left in the border county, and he had no choice."
"Mother believed him. For his safety, she did not shout that she was Master Yan's first wife. She lived quietly in a house in the suburbs. Later, mother became pregnant and gave birth to you. However, mother was weak to begin with, and became weaker day by day after giving birth. She died when you were just one year old."
"Mother's wish is that you can be taken into the Yan Mansion, because daughters of the Yan Mansion will not be bullied and will not have to work hard. But Master Yan never took you over. After mother passed away, Master Yan arranged for me to live next to the Yan Mansion. I told others that you were the daughter of the Yan family, and they thought I was Master Yan's concubine. The reason I didn't explain was because the identity of Master Yan's concubine was very safe, and no one would bully us!"
Zhen Jing didn't ask why she didn't get married. It was not easy for women in this era. When her mother passed away, she was only fourteen or fifteen years old. In the eyes of Master Yan, she was just a maid. The man didn't even worry about his own daughter, let alone the fate of a maid. He probably thought that arranging a place for her to live was a great favor.
Madam Zhen will stop here.
"Then why is your last name Zhen?"
"I don't know my last name. My name is Zhen Niang, so everyone calls me Zhen Niangzi."
Zhen Jing studied Madam Zhen's birth date and horoscope for a long time before returning the things to Madam Zhen.
She thought for a while and said, "I want to tell you something. During the days when I was missing, I actually went to a place full of various flowers and many fairies. An old fairy caught me and asked me to recite a book. He said I could leave only after I finished reciting it. So I recited it there for a long time and finally memorized it..."
Madam Zhen did not doubt it, but tears welled up in her eyes: "I know you dream of going to school, but Master Yan doesn't care, and I can't make any money, so I can only let you work with me."
Seeing that Lady Zhen was about to cry, Zhen Jing said quickly, "I haven't gotten to the point yet. Last night I suddenly remembered what I had memorized. It seemed to be some formulas and spells. Maybe they can turn stone into gold! I want to teach you all of this and you can memorize it too."
Madam Zhen was amused by Zhen Jing's words.
"There is no magic that can turn stone into gold. That's just a story made up by storytellers."
Zhen Jing pretended to be innocent and said, "But I made some money this morning. You can carry a few of them just in case they are needed!"
Although Zhen Jing had memorized the Wordless Heavenly Book again, she felt that the formulas were obscure and difficult to understand. There was no spiritual power in her reciting them, and she couldn't use them, so she asked this Madam Zhen to try.
The system told her that the destination she traveled to was wrong. Maybe Zhen Jing’s destination was correct. This Madam Zhen was not Han Yan’s mother. Although she was older, she was also an abandoned child!
Teach her some tips. If Madam Zhen can understand them, they may be useful in the future, making it easier to save lives and make money.
She had just tried hard to calculate Madam Zhen's horoscope, but with just that little information, she felt exhausted. So, there was no golden finger, and she really had not been deceived.
She can't have it, how can she teach others?
If you don’t even dare to gamble, what’s the point of traveling through time!
Encouraged by Zhen Jing, Madam Zhen finally memorized a few formulas. After she finished, it was noon, and the two of them went downstairs and ordered four dishes and two bowls of rice.
After the meal, Madam Zhen took the silver to pay the bill. The shopkeeper didn't expect that Madam Zhen really had silver, and he smiled with joy.
He kept saying, "Don't worry, don't worry," but his hand had already taken the silver.
Mrs. Zhen originally planned to check out and use the change to rent another room, but Zhen Jing said they had to stay for a few more days to earn some money before leaving.
Zhen Jing asked her if she wanted to find her biological parents.
Madam Zhen's eyes lit up for a moment, then she said sadly, "They abandoned me back then, maybe they just didn't want me anymore. What's the point of me looking for them?"
"The piece of cloth with your birth date was obviously torn from your inner garment and hastily written in blood on the paper. Perhaps your mother had other reasons and abandoned you in order to keep you alive?"
"Really? Can you tell my mother is still alive?"
"Your mother is still alive. Judging from your face and horoscope, you have both parents alive. You should be a blessed and wealthy person."
Madam Zhen touched her thin face and thought, what good fortune does she have!
However, after hearing that Han Yan had gained the ability to read faces after memorizing the book, she became more active in memorizing the book.
Since their identities have been revealed, Zhen Jing suggested that the two of them just call each other sisters.
Madam Zhen nodded in agreement.
After Zhen Jing came back, she couldn't wear men's clothes anymore, so she changed back into girls' clothes. The two sisters recited books in the room for two days, and everything was fine.
On the third day, Lady Zhen asked, "Will money really come to you?"
She was used to working outside, and she felt uneasy if she didn't work for two days.
"Yes, I will come to you soon. You have to act more realistically, sister!"
In the past two days, Madam Zhen has gotten used to Ruyan calling her sister and has been able to accept it calmly.
She was just asked to play the role of a Feng Shui master, and she felt very unsure.
She asked timidly, "You won't be beaten, will you?"
Zhen Jing hushed at her.
Although there is no golden finger, this body has five sensitive senses, and with the strong self-confidence of Zhen Jing's soul, her abilities are still quite good.
Just as Madam Zhen shut up, she heard a movement on the roof and someone jumped down from the skylight.
The person who came was a young man, dressed in black in broad daylight, holding a sword in his hand. After landing on the ground, he clasped his fists towards the two men.
"Madam Zhen, excuse me for disturbing you."
Madam Zhen was not a timid person, and with Zhen Jing's reminders over the past two days, she nodded calmly.
"What's the matter with this strong man?"
When the men in black saw that the two women were not frightened, they looked up to them.
He took out a badge and showed it to show that he was from Prince Liang's mansion.
That day, Madam Zhen told the prince of Liang that he would have a bloody disaster. As expected, the prince of Liang encountered an assassin in the restaurant. Fortunately, he brought many bodyguards and was well prepared, otherwise the prince would have been seriously injured.
So, the prince was grateful for the reminder from the fortune teller and specially asked him to come and thank her and invited her to visit the prince's residence.
"Wait a moment, my brother and I will clean up." Madam Zhen looked at Zhen Jing, nodded in agreement, and told the man in black, "Next time you come, just go through the door. You don't have to go through the roof. It's quite scary."
"Okay," the man in black clasped his fists awkwardly, "I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Xiao Bai."
