Compared with Zhu Zan's indifference and contempt, Zhang Baotang was very sincere and enthusiastic.
"Don't be afraid, Miss Jun. If you have any problems, just send someone to find me. My home is in the east of the city. You can ask the Zhang family and find out." he said.
As for the Zhang family of Linchuan, of course Miss Jun knows about it.
Although the Zhang family, a family of generals, values civil officials over military officials, they should not be underestimated compared to civil servants like the Ning family.
After all, many civil officials relied on passing the imperial examination to pass down their family lineage, while military generals relied on military merit. Military merit is relatively easier to obtain than passing the imperial examination, and the family lineage is also passed down more stably and profoundly, unlike a family of poets and scholars, which would fall into decline if there were no Jinshi candidates in two generations.
Miss Jun smiled and nodded at him, then bowed and thanked him again.
"Let's go." Si Feng said with a smile, urging Zhang Baotang, and the two of them followed Zhu Zan who had already walked a distance.
As Zhu Zan and his party left, the street became more lively, with people rushing up to ask questions out of curiosity or concern.
Under such circumstances, it was inconvenient for the people from Jiulingtang to stay outside, so Manager Liu asked his staff to block the influx of people and escort Miss Jun inside.
Miss Jun was still holding the plaque of Jiulingtang in her hand but she did not move. Instead, she looked down at the plaque.
Because it had just been knocked off the door and was covered in dust.
She took out a handkerchief, bent over and wiped it carefully.
"It's better to go in and wipe it..." Shopkeeper Liu said in a low voice.
Chen Qi's eyes lit up and he interrupted him.
"Rub it right here," he whispered.
This bullied girl, wiping her family plaque bit by bit while crying and enduring humiliation, looks more tragic and more sympathetic.
Shopkeeper Liu also thought of it, but he frowned.
It might work well in other places, but in the capital, they are facing the Imperial Guard, and the people's will means nothing to the Imperial Guard.
But something is better than nothing. Moreover, those officials who suffered in the past were still high up in the government and had nothing to do with the people. The most they could do was watch and sigh with pity.
But Miss Jun is not a high-ranking official, but a doctor who cures illnesses and saves lives. This is related to the interests of every citizen. After all, no one dares to guarantee that he will never get sick in his life.
Moreover, Miss Jun's medical skills are so superb, and she has a kind heart that wants to heal all the people in the world. If she can win the hearts of the people, she might really be able to protect her.
Shopkeeper Liu stepped back a few steps, avoiding blocking the crowd's sight so that everyone could see Miss Jun's movements.
Miss Jun did not notice what Chen Qi and Manager Liu were thinking. She just saw that the plaque was stained with dust and thought that Lu Yunqi almost kicked her plaque to pieces. She had finally regained her name, so she didn't think about anything else and just wanted to wipe it clean.
"Miss." Liu Er came over and took out a handkerchief, wiping her tears as she did so. "This belongs to the old man, this belongs to the old lady, this belongs to our family."
Forget about other people, but she is a member of the young lady's family, she is from the Jun family. The plaque of the Jun family was almost smashed by someone. It's really terrible.
"Grandpa is gone. Grandpa died in vain."
The more Liu Er thought about it, the sadder she became, and she simply burst into tears.
Seeing this scene, no one in the crowd dared to step forward to ask questions. They felt sympathy and sadness. Especially when they heard Liu'er say that the old man died in vain, some women couldn't help but cry too.
Miss Jun didn't expect to make Liu'er so sad. After wiping the plaque a few times, her mood returned to normal and she quickly took her arm around her to comfort her.
"Miss, what should we do?" Shopkeeper Liu asked in a low voice.
Miss Jun looked at him pointing at the plaque in her hand.
"Hang it up," she said.
Do you want to hang it up?
Chen Qi hesitated for a moment.
"Hang it up." Shopkeeper Liu said, and instructed two assistants, "This plaque was protected by the son of Duke Cheng."
The Prince of Chengguo protected the plaque for them, but they didn't dare to hang it. Doesn't that mean they are afraid? How can the Prince of Chengguo save his face?
Although he is a businessman, Manager Liu has never believed in being smooth talkers. He never believes in being either black or white, either praising one or criticizing another. He never has the advantage of having the best of both worlds.
For the sake of a plaque, Lu Qianhu even showed up in person. This grudge is definitely going to be difficult to resolve. In that case, let's just not resolve it.
With the support of the Prince of Chengguo, and the imperial edict from the family, plus Miss Jun has done so much, I don’t believe it will be difficult to live in this capital city.
Shopkeeper Liu also got angry and gave the order to lift the plaque himself. Two of his assistants had already brought the ladder, took the plaque and hung it up.
Shopkeeper Liu bowed to the onlookers and led Miss Jun and the others inside. The onlookers did not disperse but looked at the re-hung plaque with complicated expressions and talked in low voices.
Shopkeeper Liu originally wanted to comfort Miss Jun, but Miss Jun had already comforted herself.
"Don't worry, Manager Liu." She comforted Manager Liu.
Shopkeeper Liu sighed inwardly, knowing that this was going to happen again. This girl always had her own ideas.
"I don't know why?" he had to ask.
Miss Jun smiled.
"Just because of the name," she said.
Just, because of the name?
What's so funny about this? Is this something to be happy about?
She was almost strangled to death by Lu Yunqi just now.
This was certainly worth being happy about, because no one knew how frightened she had been today, with the disappearance of her sister Bing'er and even the horror of her identity being revealed. When she heard that Lu Yunqi had come to Jiuling Hall, she was really scared.
That helpless fear.
So when she heard that Lu Yunqi was going to take down the plaque, her heart was relieved.
It turned out that it was not for her identity, but just for the name Jiuling.
Although this matter is very infuriating, it is not to the point where there is no way out, so it is a blessing in disguise.
It is also something to be happy about.
Shopkeeper Liu found it difficult to understand, but after more than half a year he had become accustomed to the way Miss Jun behaved, and just as Young Master Fang would always remind him, he just let her do whatever she wanted.
Shopkeeper Liu also took his leave and left Jiuling Hall. The crowd standing outside the door and watching had not yet dispersed. He looked up at the plaque and felt a wave of fear in his heart again.
Fortunately, the Prince of Chengguo came today, otherwise I really don’t know how things would end.
What a coincidence.
He twirled his beard. Why did Duke Chengguo's crown prince just appear? Could it be that he, like himself, had people here to watch over Miss Jun?
Therefore, Miss Jun must know the Prince of Chengguo, and their relationship must be very close.
"Shopkeeper Liu." A waiter came out from the hall and approached him cautiously and whispered.
Shopkeeper Liu was interrupted from his thoughts and glanced at his clerk.
"This Prince of Chengguo is the man who was sent out of Jiulingtang by Miss Jun that morning." The employee said in a low voice.
Shopkeeper Liu hissed and pulled out a few strands of his beard.
This relationship is really profound!
