Chapter 10: The Village Girl and the Rough-Headed General!
The third prince was helped out of the princess's residence, limping, and he didn't even dare to ride a horse.
A kind-hearted eunuch asked, "Your Highness, would you like to ride in a sedan chair?"
As a result, Jiang Yuelin gave him a good scolding.
"Sit down my ass! Are you blind? Can't you see my butt hurts?"
The young eunuch trembled with fear after being scolded, and he didn't know what to do.
We can't just support the Third Prince and parade him through the streets like this, can we?
That would look awful!
Jiang Yuelin hardened his heart, reached for his waist, and then his expression changed.
What about his gold medal?
Where did that most important gold medal go?
Could it have landed at the princess's residence while flying in the sky?
Jiang Yuelin was extremely frustrated. Since he hadn't managed to get the gold medal, he could only take another medal off his waist.
"Go, take my token, and go to the Five Armies Commandery to have them impose an early curfew."
This……
The young eunuch's hands were trembling!
The Five Military Commissions were in charge of the defense of the capital and had the responsibility of protecting it.
He has always obeyed only General Lu Zhiyan, but Lu Zhiyan has been acting strangely lately and is not someone easy to get along with.
The little eunuch thought that if he took the token to the Five Armies Commandery, he might be beheaded by Lu Zhiyan.
Seeing the eunuch's behavior, Jiang Yuelin could no longer hold back and kicked him.
"Useless fool! I'm not mobilizing troops, I'm just ordering the Five Armies Commandery to impose an early curfew. What are you so afraid of, you idiot?"
The young eunuch could only report the truth: "Your Highness, General Lu Zhiyan went on an expedition to Juxia Pass last year. When he returned, he got separated from the main force and was only found by his subordinates last month."
"I heard... I heard that on his way back to the capital, he was ambushed by spies from the enemy country, and was seriously injured and lost his memory."
"He was later found by a village girl who took him home and cared for him. Last month, the general regained his memory and then returned to the capital with his men."
"However, the general after losing his memory is very different from before; he has become much more violent..."
Jiang Yuelin had also heard about these things.
He also heard that the village girl who found Lu Zhiyan seemed to be quite extraordinary!
The relationship between the two is also somewhat intriguing.
But what the hell does this have to do with him?
He wants a curfew now, and he wants everyone on the street to go home.
If someone were to see him, a prince, limping back to his residence with his rear end sticking out, who knows what rumors would circulate in the capital tomorrow!
Thinking of this, despite the excruciating pain, Jiang Yuelin kicked the eunuch twice more.
"Useless trash! Get to the Five Armies Commandery and get to work! Stop talking nonsense!"
Seeing the little eunuch cover his buttocks and run away quickly, Jiang Yuelin felt much happier.
Kicking someone like that really feels good!
No wonder that bitch kept kicking me.
Damn it, if I ever run into that bitch Zhou Wei again, I'll definitely tear her bones off.
Before long, the young eunuch arrived on horseback with a group of people. The leader immediately dismounted when he saw Jiang Yuelin.
"Your subject greets the Third Prince. The General has ordered me to take charge of the curfew."
Jiang Yuelin nodded, and the Five Armies Commandery took action. Before long, the streets were deserted.
At this moment, the Third Prince ordered someone to help him slowly walk back to his residence.
As Jiang Yuelin walked, he thought to himself, "After the curfew, no one should see my predicament today, right?"
the other side.
Before the Five Military Commands mobilized their troops and the city was placed under curfew.
Liu Laosan, carrying his load on a shoulder pole, knocked on the door of a house in Guaizi Hutong in Beijing.
"Who?"
"Young Master Wang, it's me, Liu Laosan."
"What brings you here so late?"
"If there are any interesting things here, you can publish them in tomorrow's Beijing Gazette."
Squeak—
The door opened, and a young page with rosy lips and white teeth stood in the doorway.
"Liu Laosan, my master doesn't accept anything vulgar or common; it has to be something eye-catching."
Liu Laosan beamed with joy: "Don't worry, I deliver vegetables to your house every day, so I've heard and seen quite a bit, but I haven't told anyone. It's just that I witnessed something extraordinary today, and if I don't tell you to get some money, I'll be at a loss!"
Hearing Liu Laosan's confident promise, the pageboy welcomed him inside.
Inside the main house in the courtyard, the door was tightly closed, and only a faint silhouette could be seen.
A melodious voice rang out: "Old Liu, what have you seen and heard today?"
Upon hearing this sound, Liu Laosan's face revealed an expression of enjoyment.
The owner's voice here is androgynous; no matter how many times you listen to it, it is captivating.
"Reporting to the master, today I was selling vegetables on the street outside the Princess's residence when I suddenly saw someone leap into the air. It was the Third Prince..."
The candlelight flickered inside the room, and only Liu Laosan's vivid voice could be heard.
…………
Inside the Princess's residence.
Jiang Yueli lay on the bed, reflecting on the day's events, and sighed with emotion.
"It is truly unbelievable that there are such miraculous things as being able to live a second life."
"Heaven has given me this opportunity, and I will seize it."
"I do not want to repeat the same mistakes, but I also do not want to achieve nothing. The most important thing is to accumulate strength."
"We also need to investigate why I was falsely accused of treason in my previous life..."
Jiang Yueli silently made plans for the future.
Thinking that Zhou Wei's actions today had offended Hu Youniang, the heroine of destiny, on her behalf, Jiang Yueli couldn't help but sigh.
Hu Youniang... so be it!
This woman is alluring and has unpredictable methods. Even if you don't offend her, as long as she is engaged to Chu Tianze, conflicts are inevitable.
Zhou Wei simply moved the time forward.
But that's all!
At this stage, I am still young and inexperienced, and I must not offend any other female protagonists with great fortune, otherwise my life will be in danger.
The day after tomorrow, when you go to the Zhenyuan Marquis's residence, you will meet the second heroine of destiny, Shen Shuqing.
However, Jiang Yueli had already made up her mind not to say or do anything in the Marquis's residence.
Show up for a drink, then head back immediately!
That way, there won't be a chance to offend Shen Shuqing, right?
After calming down, Jiang Yueli thought of Zhou Wei again, and a smile appeared on her face.
"This girl is a bit reckless, but she is loyal and very good at reading my mind. Knowing that I dislike Jiang Yuelin, she came up with these ways to punish him, which is really gratifying."
"In that case, let her stay by my side and I will keep an eye on her, so that she won't offend other female protagonists in her impulsiveness."
Having figured things out, Jiang Yueli felt at ease and increasingly appreciated how having a thoughtful girl like Zhou Wei made her feel happy.
Yes, all the heroines with good fortune come into the world with a mission.
Given Zhou Wei's current status, she certainly wouldn't have access to them.
Hu Youniang was just an accident!
She came knocking on his door, leaving him no way to avoid her, which is why Zhou Wei ran into her.
Starting today, I will prevent such accidents from happening again.
As long as Zhou Wei isn't allowed to go out alone, it's fine.
But didn't I tell Zhou Wei not to leave the manor at will?
I don't remember...
Never mind, let's talk about it tomorrow!
Since I'm already here, I might as well make the best of it and get a good night's sleep.
Inside the maids' quarters on the other side.
Hongxiu directed people to pack up their belongings and move Zhou Wei's possessions to the superior room.
Zhou Wei was quite pleased with Hongxiu and Ziyu's fawning manner.
That's right, I am the eldest princess's subordinate.
But if you take things to the extreme, you can still enjoy life.
Take this princess's residence for example, she is now second only to the princess and above all the servants!
Even the head steward, Hongxiu, treated him with great courtesy.
"Weiwei, do you think this east wing room is suitable?"
Zhou Wei glanced sideways at Hongxiu, "Aunt Hongxiu, am I the first under the Princess's command, above all of you? How dare you call me Weiwei?"
Seeing Zhou Wei's arrogance, Hongxiu gritted her teeth secretly.
"Yes, yes, I was being rude. Well then, what do you think..."
"Call me 'sister'."
what?
Hongxiu and Ziyu were both stunned.
You're only fifteen or sixteen years old, and you expect us to call you "sister"? Is that appropriate?
Zhou Wei scoffed, "Why isn't it appropriate? Haven't you heard the saying, 'The one who is successful is the boss'?"
"Sister is a title, not a form of address! When it comes to work, you have to use your job title!"
Hongxiu and Ziyu seemed to understand, but they had no choice but to submit to the situation.
The two could only reply, "Okay, Sister Zhou."
"Hey, don't call me Sister Zhou, it makes me want to send you rockets," Zhou Wei waved her hand, "Just call me Sister Wei!"
After the two obediently addressed her as Sister Wei, Zhou Wei weighed the gold, silver, and valuables she had plundered from the Third Prince.
He asked Hongxiu, "Hongxiu, do you know where in the capital I can buy these gold, silver, and jade artifacts?"
Hongxiu thought for a moment and said, "There's a new luxury store that just opened on Zouma Street. It's incredibly luxurious and reasonably priced. If Sister Wei wants to sell these things, she could try going there."
Zhou Wei understood. "Okay, I'll go to Zouma Street tomorrow and sell these things for money."
If I could exchange it for a large sum, I might be able to get some good stuff out of the system.
