Chapter 1106 Is it worth it?
Zhang Juexia was flattered when she heard that the Empress had prepared a gift for her. She asked Eunuch Li in disbelief, "Eunuch Li, did the Empress really prepare a gift for me?"
Eunuch Li laughed, "When the Empress asked me to prepare gifts, she mentioned this!
It is said that the Lord of Rui'an will definitely ask me if this is the gift that the Empress really prepared for me."
Eunuch Li imitated the Queen's speech very vividly.
Following her lead, Eunuch Li frowned and said, "Lord Rui'an, thank you!"
Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu knelt down at the same time and saluted towards the capital.
Eunuch Li nodded with satisfaction, "It's getting late, and I have to leave Qingfeng City."
Zhang Juexia naturally asked people to prepare some gifts, some for the emperor and the empress, and some for Li Gonggong to use on his own journey.
In short, Eunuch Li returned satisfied.
In the evening, Ren Xiaoyao came to the door in person and thanked Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu again and again.
Ye Beixiu patted his shoulder and said, "Brother Ren, this is your achievement. Don't forget, it was you who escorted the food to Qinglan City and saved the soldiers from danger."
"Brother Ye, I'm a bodyguard, so I'll take any job I get.
In the final analysis, it's all because of you. If you hadn't been pulling all the strings, how could I have gotten a job with so many escort agencies in the Great Zhou Dynasty? "
"Brother Ren, it's really your own kung fu that's amazing.
You have saved me from so many dangers on the road."
Zhang Juexia listened to them talking back and forth, and they were afraid that they would not be able to finish talking even if they continued for the next day.
"Brother Ren, my husband is right. We must be strong ourselves before we can forge iron. Otherwise, even if my husband gives you another chance, it will be in vain."
Ren Xiaoyao bowed respectfully to Zhang Juexia again and said, "Big sister, what you said makes sense, but without your help, I'm afraid I would still be a bandit who rules the mountain.
Of course, this is good luck. If I had bad luck, my territory would have been flattened by the imperial court.
Brother Ye, sister, no matter what, without you, I would not be where I am today.
Thank you very much! "
Zhang Juexia did not stop him and accepted Ren Xiaoyao's greeting.
"Brother Ren, we're even.
From now on, you are not allowed to thank me back and forth."
Ren Xiaoyao chuckled, "I'll have another feast some other day, you guys better come and do me a favor!"
Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu knew what he was talking about and congratulated him with a smile, "Brother Ren, this is a double blessing for you!"
Ren Xiaoyao's voice was so loud that it almost blew the roof off, "You two know how to talk, so why don't you say more.
After all, I'm just happy today.
First, I, Ren Xiaoyao, have a successor, and second, my career, Ren Xiaoyao, is better.
Ha, ha, ha, those who looked down on my Xiaoyao Escort Agency in the past are now out of their reach.
Think about it, when escorting a car, with the escort flag personally bestowed by the emperor, wouldn’t the journey be smooth?
Brother Ye, fortunately, when the old emperor asked me to stay in the court and serve him, I flatly refused.
After all, being an official in the imperial court is not as comfortable as being a bodyguard."
Ye Beixiu nodded in agreement, "Brother Ren, we both like to be free."
After seeing Ren Xiaoyao off, Ye Beixiu and Zhang Juexia smiled at each other. Zhang Juexia asked Ye Beixiu, "I wonder if you will regret this choice many years later?"
"What is there to regret? I have a wife and children by my side, and the emperor has also made me the Marquis of Anlan, and you the Lord of Rui'an.
In Qingfeng City, no, no one in the entire Zhou Dynasty dares to bully us.
When I was hunting before, I couldn't even imagine such a day."
"I don't dare to think about it!"
Ye Beixiu hugged Zhang Juexia tightly, "My wife, Brother Ren just came to thank us.
Do you know what I was thinking?"
"What do you think?"
“I was wondering, who should I thank most?”
"Who is it?"
"My silly wife, it's you.
Without you, I, Ye Beixiu, would not be where I am today."
“But what I want to say is what I just said to Brother Ren.
A blacksmith must be strong himself. If you are a hopeless person, no matter how much I help you, you will never be made a marquis.
My Lord, tell me, what great merits have you accomplished to be personally conferred the title of Lord by the Emperor?"
Ye Beixiu gently scratched Zhang Juexia's nose and said, "I can't hide anything from you."
Zhang Juexia pulled Ye Beixiu to sit down, poured another cup of tea, and handed it to him, "Now you can tell me!"
Ye Beixiu didn't hesitate and drank the tea in his hand, "My wife, it's really nothing, it's just a matter of risking your life.
We have no foundation, so we have to exchange our loyalty and our lives for it."
Zhang Juexia's heart tightened after hearing Ye Beixiu's words, "Is this how you got your back injury?"
"Don't we have Uncle Liu here?
Ultimately, it was Uncle Liu’s medical skills that saved me.”
Zhang Juexia looked at Ye Beixiu and saw that he spoke calmly, but in fact, she knew the changes in his body best.
In the past, he would get up early in the morning to practice a set of boxing, and he still does it now, but his current moves are obviously not up to his standard.
Also, he rarely got sick before, but since he came back, he has been taking medicine all the time.
He also disliked that these doctors' medical skills were not as good as Uncle Liu's. In fact, it was not that the doctors' medical skills were bad, but that his physical condition was not as good as before.
Zhang Juexia looked at Ye Beixiu distressedly, "Is it worth it for you to do this?"
Ye Beixiu said firmly, "Worth it!
When I was hunting in the mountains, I was injured by a wild beast, and my life was worthless.
But now, I have the opportunity to risk my life and let my whole family live a life that they never dared to imagine before.
My lady, although I am dull, I can still figure out which one is more profitable.
But fortunately, I won’t have to do that anymore.”
Ye Beixiu coughed, "Uncle Liu should be back soon!
When he comes back, I will ask him to stay and give me proper treatment."
Zhang Juexia stood up and put a shirt on him. "You know best when Uncle Liu will come back."
Ye Beixiu actually stretched out his hand to calculate, "It should be soon.
Big Bull and Second Bull should be back soon."
"Didn't Da Niu and Er Niu go back to Shunhe County first?"
“They should settle down in Qingfeng City, and after that, Erniu will return to Shunhe County to get married.
Madam?"
Zhang Juexia looked up at Ye Beixiu and said, "Just say whatever you want to say."
"How do you know I have something to say to you?"
"You always use this tone whenever you want to talk to me."
Ye Beixiu touched his nose uncomfortably, "Really?
I didn't feel it myself, but you did.
You are worthy of being my good wife."
Zhang Juexia raised an eyebrow to remind Ye Beixiu, "Let me tell you, it's useless to say nice things. We have to stick to the facts."
