After the birthday banquet of Queen Xiao Lu, Yu Zizhen met the head of the Wen family and Wen Xiaoman at the Zhenbei Palace.
Yes, the solution Jiang Yunshan came up with was to contact the head of the Wen family directly. In this way, there would be no problem of him running to the nunnery and people suspecting that he had bad intentions.
As for Wen Xiaoman, Jiang Yunshan asked his mother and sister to go on his behalf.
Although the Jiang family was not a wealthy family, they once had some assets. In addition, there were always people in their family who studied. His mother and sister were not like ordinary peasant women who would be involuntarily nervous when they saw women wearing jewels.
After intimidating the Jianchang Marquis' Mansion and reaching a cooperation intention with the head of the Wen family, Jiang Yunshan asked his mother and sister to express his family's appreciation for talent to Wen Xiaoman. Only then did he bring the head of the Wen family and Wen Xiaoman to see Yu Zizhen.
The head of the Wen family never thought that his family could actually climb up to such a high-ranking and noble family as the Zhenbei Palace. Although they asked someone to find Aunt Rong Xuan who was by Xiao Yuanjin's side, to be honest, with Xiao Yuanjin's weak presence like an invisible man, the Wen family actually did not expect Aunt Rong Xuan to really play any key role in this matter of their family.
But now, the development of events proved to him that their decision to ask someone to pass the message to Aunt Rong Xuan with the mentality of "what if, what if it is useful" was correct.
The eldest prince, who was considered useless by everyone, not only helped the Wen family solve a big problem so quickly, but also helped them climb up to a big power like the Zhenbei Palace.
With the protection of the Zhenbei Palace, not only the Jianchang Earl's Mansion, but at least 80% of the nobles and officials of Da Qi would probably not dare to cause trouble for their Wen family again.
Of course, the protection from the Zhenbei Palace is not all good. Given the delicate relationship between the Zhenbei Palace and the Lu family, it is possible that the two families will fight one day, and at that time, their Wen family will definitely be targeted.
However, the head of the Wen family felt that the risk was worth taking. After all, given the current situation in Da Qi, chaos was only a matter of time.
Rather than becoming a gang of bandits or a money or granary for some generals in troubled times, it would be better for the Wen family to choose a strong supporter early on.
At least he chose a well-known and influential person himself, so he would not use the Wen family as a money bag and then raise the knife to butcher them.
Even if you want to kill me, cough cough, even if you want to destroy the bridge after crossing it, you have to wait until everything is settled, right?
Thinking of this, the head of the Wen family became extremely alert and determined to perform well in front of the Prince of Zhenbei.
However, what he didn't expect was that the Prince of Zhenbei, who was praised as a flower by Jiang Yunshan, was actually a child who looked only seven or eight years old!
Although wealthy families have always been very careful in educating their children and start teaching them very early, children as young as seven or eight...
The head of the Wen family had these thoughts in his mind, but his face was respectful and he did not lose his manners at all.
He had also donated an official position to himself, so he did not need to kneel in front of Yu Zizhen, but in order to show respect, when he bowed, his old waist almost formed a right angle.
"Thank you for your help, my Lord. I am very grateful."
Wen Xiaoman, who had originally just performed a standard blessing, saw this and quickly bent her knees again.
Thinking that something was not right, she hurriedly tried to change from squatting to kneeling.
Yu Zizhen waved his hands at the two of them, "No need to be polite, no need to be polite. Sit down."
The head of the Wen family thanked Yu Zizhen and took his granddaughter to sit at the place where Yu Zizhen made his move.
Wen Xiaoman looked at Yu Zizhen curiously. She knew that this was the Prince of Zhenbei who helped their Wen family to intimidate the shameless people in the Jianchang Marquis' Mansion and also wanted to use her, a woman, to do things.
Apart from her grandfather and father, this was the first person who was willing to let her help with something.
Because of this, even though Yu Zizhen was just a child, Wen Xiaoman would not look at Yu Zizhen with the inherent prejudice of the world, and would not wishfully think that Yu Zizhen was so young that he would definitely not be able to accomplish anything.
You know, many people, including her mother, often use the excuse that "you are a girl" as an excuse.
Yu Zizhen noticed her gaze and nodded at her with a smile.
"Although the Jianchang Marquis' Mansion no longer dares to openly harass the Wen family, this is only on the surface. As the saying goes, money can move the heart. For the sake of money, they may not really stop causing trouble just because the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion intervenes."
The head of the Wen family bowed slightly, "Your Highness is right. People's hearts are unpredictable. They might even become even more determined to get Xiaoman because of our Wen family's involvement with the Zhenbei Palace."
After all, the only thing their Wen family could provide to the Jianchang Marquis's Mansion was money, but now they have climbed up to the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion.
The Jianchang Marquis' Mansion might think that they can also climb up to the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion through the Wen family.
With the support of the Zhenbei Palace, it would be very easy for the Earl of Jianchang and the Prince of Jianchang to get a real job in the court.
Money can move people's hearts, and official position and power can move people even more.
The head of the Wen family is old and shrewd, and of course he would not be so naive as to think that with the support of the Zhenbei Palace, the Jianchang Earl's Mansion would definitely give up all its plans against the Wen family.
Yu Zizhen wasn't surprised that he was sober, but she still reminded the Wen family's head, "It might not be Miss Wen. If Miss Wen doesn't stand a chance, there's no guarantee they won't target another Wen family girl."
The head of the Wen family was stunned for a moment, and then he was frightened by the scene he imagined and was furious.
He has two granddaughters. The second granddaughter, Wen Xiaofei, is not a smart and capable woman like the eldest granddaughter, Wen Xiaoman.
Wen Xiaofei is a typical spoiled young lady of this era. She doesn't like business and is mediocre at learning anything. She usually lives a life of luxury at home. When she goes out occasionally, it is either to meet with her sisters or to accompany her mother to worship Buddha.
In the impression of the head of the Wen family, his little granddaughter is a real water-made person, delicate and soft, who can only cry when she is wronged. If she is bullied, will she be unable to get over it?
When he thought of this possibility, the head of the Wen family could no longer sit still.
Seeing that he was concerned, Yu Zizhen simply gave him another good idea, "Patriarch Wen, why don't you hire more reliable people to guard the house, especially female guards with good skills. It would be best if you keep one by the side of every female member of the family."
Anyway, the Wen family is rich, so they can afford this little bit.
The head of the Wen family nodded repeatedly, "Thank you for your reminder, Your Highness. I will follow your advice when I return."
Yu Zizhen smiled and turned his gaze towards Wen Xiaoman. "Mr. Jiang should have told Miss Wen that I would like to ask her to work for me, right? I wonder if Miss Wen is willing to join my team and serve me?"
