It wasn't until Boss Zheng's second son brought her the braised pork head and liver with a fearful look on his face that she stopped talking with a smile, "Anyway, you all need to be more careful in every aspect."
Boss Zheng's little daughter stiffened and nodded unconsciously, "Thank you very much, sir, for your advice."
Yu Zizhen smiled and waved his hand, "You're welcome, I'm just doing this so I can continue to eat at your house in the future."
She looked at Boss Zheng's second son and said, "Please bring me an empty plate."
Boss Zheng's second son quickly brought her an empty plate.
Yu Zizhen picked out some pork liver and pork head, then pushed the remaining half in front of the two guards who were also stunned. "Of course, you don't have to be overly nervous. After all, these are just my guesses, and it's impossible to be completely accurate."
Boss Zheng and others: ...So, there will still be a part that will be predicted correctly?
But the problem is, even if only one of them is predicted correctly by Yu Zizhen, Boss Zheng and his family cannot afford the loss and consequences.
He was worried, but he still forced a professional smile and said to Yu Zizhen: "Thank you for your advice, sir. Our family will be careful."
Yu Zizhen likes people who listen to advice. After all, it can save her a lot of trouble and make the process of getting points much smoother.
After a moment's thought, she decided to give Boss Zheng and his family something small and light that could be used for self-defense.
Covering himself with his sleeves, Yu Zizhen took out four small hidden weapon boxes that could fire ox-hair needles from the system warehouse.
She placed the box on the table and whispered to Boss Zheng how to use it. "The needles inside are coated with a poison that can paralyze a person's limbs. While it won't kill you, it's good enough for self-defense."
Boss Zheng was stunned. Under normal circumstances, he couldn't buy this thing even if he had money, because he couldn't find a skilled craftsman who could make this kind of mechanism box.
But now Yu Zizhen took out four at once, this...
Boss Zheng's hands trembled as he carefully touched one of the hidden weapon boxes. "This must be a lot of silver, right? Just tell me the amount, and I'll give it to you."
Yu Zizhen waved his hand, "You don't need the money. Just cook me a few more delicious dishes when I come to eat. But this can only protect you from being harmed by people with bad intentions. If they tamper with the food in your restaurant, or even set fire to the restaurant..."
Boss Zheng, however, changed his forced smile. His tone was filled with a sense of ease and relief. "At worst, I can just quit this shop. As long as our family is safe, it doesn't matter what kind of work I do."
Ever since his eldest son was forcibly conscripted into the army and he couldn't find a way to redeem him with money even though he had silver in his hands, Boss Zheng realized that sometimes money is really useless.
For the livelihood of his family, he will of course continue to work hard to make money, but compared to the safety of his family, the amount of money he makes becomes less important.
When Yu Zizhen heard him say this, his evaluation of him immediately rose again.
She was just thinking about whether she should take Boss Zheng's family under her wing when she heard Boss Zheng asking about the price of the four hidden weapon boxes.
He said, "Please tell me the value of this thing. My family is already taking advantage of you to get this thing, and I can't let you lose money."
Seeing that he insisted, Yu Zizhen didn't say no anymore. She said, "One hundred taels."
One of the guards looked up suddenly. One hundred taels? Was his young master having a bloody sale?
When the guard met Yu Zizhen's light glance, he suddenly realized that he had no right to say anything, so he immediately turned his eyes and focused his attention on the braised pork liver in front of him.
Boss Zheng noticed the glances between the two and immediately realized that Yu Zizhen might have understated the matter.
He was deeply moved and decided that from today on, he would not charge Yu Zizhen for meals whenever she came to eat.
As for other ways of repaying, Boss Zheng said he still needs to consider it carefully later.
On the way back to the Zhenbei Palace, Yu Zizhen noticed that the guards were hesitant to speak. She thought for a moment and said to them, "What do you want to say? Just say it."
The two men exchanged glances, and one of the guards hesitantly asked Yu Zizhen, "Why would the Crown Prince sell or give away such a valuable item to a few common people?"
"Of course, it's because I hope they can live well." Yu Zizhen lazily leaned against the car window and said to the two guards on horseback: "Don't tell anyone about what happened today, otherwise if anything happens to them, I will directly hold you responsible."
Both of them: ...
Yu Zizhen glanced at them and said, "Don't be unconvinced. At that time, there were only the three of us and their family in that room. If the news of the hidden weapon leaked out, who else would I turn to if not you?"
One of the guards muttered, "What if they leaked the news themselves?"
"If that's the case, I naturally won't wrongly accuse you." Yu Zizhen has a cheating device called the system. As long as she is interested in everything that happened in the capital, the system can restore it to her 100% completely. So whether it is these two guards or Boss Zheng's family, Yu Zizhen can grasp their every move at any time.
This was also a small test for the two guards. If they couldn't keep such a small matter a secret for her, she would definitely not dare to keep them by her side in the future.
She did not ask the trusted subordinates of King Zhenbei to be absolutely loyal to her, but since they were temporarily her bodyguards, they must not take her, their temporary master, too lightly.
Yu Zizhen hopes that they can strike a good balance.
The group returned to the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion safely. Yu Zizhen greeted Mr. Jiang, then picked up his pen and began to write a letter to the Zhenbei Prince and others.
She had not read much and could not write such a literary letter.
Well, even if she reads a lot of books in the future, in order to prove her image as a poor student, she will not write such flowery letters to anyone.
"My beloved father and mother, I have been in Beijing for nearly two months. My longing for you is as high as a mountain and as deep as the sea. Whenever I see or eat something, I can't help but think of my beloved father and mother..."
After writing a lot about how much she missed the King of Zhenbei and his wife, Yu Zizhen changed the subject and finally mentioned her mess of holiday gifts.
"Every Dragon Boat Festival gift I sent back with this letter was personally selected by me. Everything I've eaten, used, seen, and played with, I want to share with my beloved father and mother. Sending a goose feather from a thousand miles away is not about the gift, but about my heartfelt longing for them."
At the end of the letter, Yu Zizhen mentioned the study materials she had prepared for her younger siblings. "...Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run. I know that Mom and Dad love their children, but I hope they won't overindulge my younger siblings. I've bought them... and I ask Mom and Dad to make sure they study hard."
