Yu Zizhen called the trembling shop owner over and ordered a bowl of soft and easy-to-digest hot noodle soup for the father and son. "Please add a poached egg to each bowl."
After the owner agreed, Yu Zizhen ordered some ready-made buns, pancakes, steamed cakes, etc., and invited Chen Qing and Zheng Yuzhi to join in the fun. "If you don't eat, they won't dare to pick up their chopsticks."
Chen Qing and Zheng Yuzhi had no choice but to agree to eat with them later.
While everyone was waiting for the hot soup noodles, Yu Zizhen took the opportunity to exchange identities and names with Chen Qing and Zheng Yuzhi.
Chen Qing and Zheng Yuzhi are a famous pair of chivalrous lovers in the martial arts world. Not only are they skilled in martial arts, but they also have a chivalrous heart. They often help ordinary people who are within their ability to help.
Both of them came from the Liuhe Martial Arts School in Cangzhou. Zheng Yuzhi was the daughter of the school owner and was good at using a long whip. Chen Qing was the school owner's second apprentice. He was extremely strong and was good at using a long stick.
After completing their apprenticeship, the two worked as escorts at the local Hengtai Escort Agency. This time, while escorting a caravan to Beijing, they happened to encounter Yu Zizhen's carriage losing control, so Zheng Yuzhi stepped in to save him.
According to the original book plot provided by the system, the two will die in the future due to the deliberate frame-up by Liu Jinchang, the magistrate of Cangzhou.
Liu Jinchang, the magistrate of Cangzhou, was the brother-in-law of Lu Mian, the third branch of the Lu family, and the uncle-in-law of Lu Heng, who was at odds with Yu Zizhen.
During the subsequent major natural disaster, he first approached the Hengtai Escort Agency and asked them to help escort the relief grain to the counties below. Then he had people drug the grain and intercept the grain on the way, and finally falsely accused the escorts of embezzlement.
All the escorts, including Chen Qing and Zheng Yuzhi, died in prison because of this case.
In order to quell public anger, the Hengtai Escort Agency, to which they originally belonged, offered all its money as compensation, but the Cangzhou magistrate Liu Jinchang refused to admit that he had received any compensation from the Hengtai Escort Agency.
Because he secretly sent people to instigate and guide the other escorts in the escort agency and the elderly, weak, women and children living in the escort agency, they were ultimately unable to escape the fate of being killed by the rioters.
However, Liu Jinchang, the magistrate of Cangzhou who had embezzled the relief grain funds, turned black into white and sold all the relief grain distributed by the court at a high price, making a fortune.
Perhaps because Yu Zizhen met Chen Qing and Zheng Yuzhi by chance, the system directly gave her a new cannon fodder rescue mission after she led everyone into this shop.
After Yu Zizhen learned about the original book plot related to Chen Qing and Zheng Yuzhi through the system, he immediately wanted to take the initiative to make friends with the couple.
Not only did she want to complete the mission, she also had her eyes on the couple, their fellow brothers and sisters, and other escorts in their escort agency.
These are all ready-made fighters. If only she could use them all...
Just thinking about it, Yu Zizhen couldn't help but drool.
She chatted enthusiastically with Chen Qing and Zheng Yuzhi, and did not forget to pour tea for the father and son.
Although the best tea in this small restaurant was not very tasty, her approachable attitude made Chen Qing and Zheng Yuzhi like her more.
The two of them chatted more and more with Yu Zizhen, and when the store owner personally brought hot soup noodles to the father and son, the two of them were even able to eat at the same table with Yu Zizhen, the great benefactor, without any restraint.
As for the father and son, the father was still very nervous, but the innocent child had already been attracted by the food on the table.
He stopped crying and held the big bowl of hot noodle soup in both hands. He drank the soup in small sips while swallowing his saliva at the meat buns, red date cakes, sesame cakes, etc. on the table.
Yu Zizhen saw it and immediately handed him a meat bun. "Eat slowly, don't choke."
The child looked shy and his eyes were full of longing, but he still remembered to go see his father first.
Only after getting permission did he take the bun and eat it in small bites with a look of cherishment on his face.
Yu Zizhen's kindness made the man relax a lot. When everyone started eating, he, under the persuasion of Yu Zizhen and others, also carefully picked up the chopsticks and picked up some noodles for himself.
Yu Zizhen had just had a full meal in the palace and couldn't eat any more, so he just took a meat bun and took small bites.
On the contrary, Chen Qing and Zheng Yuzhi, who were escorting the caravan into Beijing, encountered a horse-frightened incident just after completing their mission. Not to mention food and drink, they didn't even have time to find a place to stay for the night.
Seeing the child eating with such satisfaction, both of their stomachs started to rebel.
Yu Zizhen's attitude was so friendly that the two of them could no longer suppress their hunger. They took the buns, stuffed pancakes and other things they wanted to eat, intending to eat a little to fill their stomachs first.
When they had almost finished eating, the doctor that Yu Zizhen had asked someone to urgently call came over with the guard Feng Yuan.
After a thorough examination, the doctor came to the same conclusion as Zheng Yuzhi - the little guy was not injured, but just a little frightened.
Yu Zizhen also asked a doctor to treat the coachman who had been thrown off the carriage.
The driver didn't suffer any broken bones, but some blood was inevitable. His arms and legs, which had been bumped and rubbed against the ground but didn't seem to be in any way damaged at the moment, would undoubtedly become bruised and swollen later.
Fortunately, these are just superficial injuries. They will heal in ten days or so and are not a big problem.
After the doctor explained the two people's situations, he carefully considered the matter and prescribed a tranquilizing soup for the child that even children could take.
After prescribing the medicine, the doctor handed it to the accompanying medicine boy to get the medicine. He also reminded the man, "Be careful tonight. If the child has a fever, remember to send him to my clinic immediately."
Upon hearing this, Yu Zizhen immediately said, "Can you accommodate people in your clinic? If so, I'd like to invite this father and son to stay for one night."
Staying in a clinic will make it easier for doctors to diagnose and treat you in time if anything happens.
Seeing the doctor looking at the father and son whose clothes were patched and who clearly came from a poor family, Yu Zizhen immediately added, "All expenses will be covered by me. Just provide them with good food, good housing, and good medicine."
As she spoke, she took out a fifty-liang silver note and handed it to Feng Yuan. "Brother Feng, please help me look after this father and son for a while. If the money is not enough, you can come to me to withdraw it."
She was so generous that she even sent a guard to look after him. This made the old doctor, who was used to seeing how the powerful and wealthy disregarded human life, immediately have a better impression of her.
He stroked his gray beard and said, "My place is big enough for people to live in. I have enough bedding, firewood, rice, flour, etc."
His clinic occasionally has seriously ill patients staying overnight, so there is no shortage of empty rooms.
"Well," the man rubbed his hands, looking embarrassed, "I, I have to go home, otherwise my parents and my wife won't see me and the children back until dark, and they will definitely worry that something happened to us outside."
Yu Zizhen clapped his hands, "That's easy."
