Not long after Yu Zizhen returned to her yard, the system gave her task points.
The points were not many, only twenty, but Yu Zizhen was still in a good mood because he was able to save that family.
She lay spread-eagle on the warm kang. "I don't know where those people came from. They actually came to the Zhenbei Palace to arrest the blacksmith. I'm afraid they must have borrowed their courage from heaven."
Although her adoptive father didn't care much about the affairs of the inner house, he was still quite diligent and attentive to all matters within his sphere of influence.
Thanks to him and his predecessor and predecessor, the King of Zhenbei, the people of the northern border have not experienced the suffering of foreign invasion and the destruction of their homes for nearly fifty years.
Catching the blacksmith right under his nose, are you afraid of not being able to touch his sensitive nerves?
Complaining in his heart, Yu Zizhen closed his eyes and fell asleep in a daze.
It was not until the main kitchen delivered her today's medicinal meal that Cui Yu came in and gently called her out to eat that she yawned and got up.
While Cui Yu was helping her put on her shoes, she whispered to her, "Prince, the princess has already sent over the things you bought earlier."
Yu Zizhen nodded dazedly, "I understand. Check it with me after dinner."
Cui Yu replied "Yes" and carefully supported Yu Zizhen, who was still half asleep. "Let me wring a handkerchief for you to wipe your face."
Yu Zizhen waved his hand, walked over to wash his face, and then sat down to eat in high spirits.
What she didn't know was that while she was enjoying a sound sleep and delicious food, the personal soldiers and guards of the Zhenbei Palace were all busy as hell.
Thanks to Yu Zizhen's deliberate guidance, Xianwu and others discovered a suspicious person who intended to capture Zou the blacksmith and his son.
They had been at the border for a long time and were used to doing similar things, so it didn't take them much effort to find out the origins, purposes, and temporary whereabouts of those suspicious people.
With this information, they were able to easily follow the clues and capture more elite soldiers from Beiyan who had sneaked into the northern border to carry out missions.
After receiving the news, Prince Zhenbei had no time to train his troops. He immediately took his personal guards back to the palace to take charge of the situation and arranged for his men to attack quickly, aiming to capture all the elite soldiers of Beiyan in one fell swoop.
A group of people were so busy that they had no time to even drink water or eat. For the sake of 20 points, Yu Zizhen accidentally found them a lot of work. However, after finishing her meal, she happily took the list and counted and checked her purchase results for the day.
Of course, the King of Zhenbei and his men did not suffer any loss either. Thanks to Yu Zizhen, they not only rescued several abducted craftsmen and detained villagers in time, but also, through interrogation, they dismantled several strongholds that Beiyan had set up with great difficulty and arrested many officials who were deceived and exploited by Beiyan because of their greed for money.
Their carefully planned actions not only completely destroyed Beiyan's long-planned plan to replenish craftsmen, but also brought Yu Zizhen many unexpected surprises.
Listening to the continuous sound of the points deposit notification, Yu Zizhen's little feet were lifted up.
"This is like pulling out a carrot and bringing out the dirt, hahahaha, this wave of profit is huge!"
It seems that she will have to take a long-term view when accepting tasks in the future, and cannot simply use the number of task points given by the system to determine whether a task is worth accepting.
For tasks like this, where one can leverage other people's efforts to complete one's own tasks, and can also involve many additional tasks, she just wants to say, please give more in the future!
"Tong, with these points, I should be able to pay off the debt I owe you, right?"
"Yes." The system spoke immediately with a baby voice, "Does the host choose to settle the account immediately?"
"Clear it, clear it."
"Okay, host." Following these words from the baby-voiced system, the points in Yu Zizhen's account immediately turned into a pitiful single digit.
Yu Zizhen breathed a sigh of relief. She was broke again! She really had to work hard to continue the mission!
All the valuable accessories were put into the system warehouse, and all the men's clothes in the little original owner's wardrobe that she could still wear for a while were packed into boxes. The women's dresses that could no longer be worn and the small amount of pearl flowers and velvet flowers that could be worn by maids were distributed to Cui Yu and other second- and third-class maids who had served the little original owner for several years. Two pieces of silver were also rewarded to the maid who was responsible for guarding the gate in her yard.
After doing all this, Yu Zizhen found the King of Zhenbei and asked him to arrange a carriage for her according to the scale of her ceremony.
"How much did you say?" King Zhenbei suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
"Twelve," Yu Zizhen repeated his previous words clearly, "any fewer and they won't hold all my stuff."
King Zhenbei had a headache. "No, I can arrange four carriages for you at most."
It would take twelve carriages just to load the things. Did she think she was moving her dowry?
Yu Zizhen wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. The spicy ginger juice on the handkerchief made her tears flow down.
The King of Zhenbei was frightened by her crying posture. He stood up in a hurry and even accidentally knocked down a stack of rice paper on the table.
Yu Zizhen sobbed and whispered, "But I want to take everything in my private vault with me. I don't have any money, and I feel anxious."
King Zhenbei rubbed his brows and said, "Didn't your mother and I give you money?"
"Who would complain about having too much money?" Yu Zizhen opened his clear eyes, as if they had been washed by water, blinking back at the King of Zhenbei. "To be honest, I bought a lot of accessories that can be worn or sold."
King of Zhenbei: ...
Prince Zhenbei had already heard about Yu Zizhen's blind shopping from his long-time attendant. He had thought that Yu Zizhen had never been shopping before, so she was curious about everything she saw and wanted to buy everything she saw. He did not expect that she actually had such thoughts.
He asked Yu Zizhen, "Then why did you buy those coarse cloth shorts? And those clothes that can only be worn by adults, are you buying them just to sell them when you need money in the future?"
Yu Zizhen shook his head. "That's not the case. I kept the coarse cloth shorts for myself, and the extra large ones were just bought for fun."
In fact, she bought it for disguise, but she didn't need to tell King Zhenbei directly about this.
King Zhenbei's three views exploded, "You are wearing coarse linen clothes?"
"Yes, I plan to open up a piece of land for farming when I get to the capital." Of course, you have to wear coarse linen clothes when farming.
The King of Zhenbei had a complicated look in his eyes. Forgive his ignorance, but this was the first time he had heard that the prince of the royal palace actually had to farm the land himself. What kind of bizarre hobby had his daughter awakened?
Yu Zizhen doesn't care what the King of Zhenbei thinks. No matter how bizarre her hobbies are, the King of Zhenbei has to send her to Beijing, right?
She said to the King of Zhenbei, "If you think it's inappropriate for me to bring twelve carts of gifts to the capital, I can sell all the fabrics, ornaments, porcelain, and other items that take up space."
The King of Zhenbei was in a dilemma. What should he sell? If he sold it, he would not know what others would say about his Zhenbei Palace!
