Finally, after Zhang Chunhua easily dodged a cane again, she suddenly remembered that she had brought the crown prince Yan Wulu back with her.
Zhang Chunhua stopped slightly and was about to explain to his mother.
Zhang's mother, who was panting just now, suddenly seized this opportunity and hit Zhang Chunhua on the waist with a cane...
"Haha, girl, I still want to play with your mother!"
Mother Zhang put away her crutches, put her hands on her hips and laughed.
Zhang Chunhua had a black line on his face... This crutch didn't hurt or itch to her, but why are you so happy to hit your daughter with a crutch?
"Ahem, cough, cough." Zhang Chunhua pretended to cough a few times, and began to explain to Zhang's mother: "...Mom, stop making trouble, Chunhua brought someone back with him this time."
Hearing this, Zhang's mother also squinted her eyes and looked slightly behind where Zhang Chunhua was.
"This is my young master..." Zhang Chunhua was speaking, but he hesitated for a moment about how to deal with Yan Wulu.
Instead, Yan Wulu stepped forward, came to the appropriate position in front of Zhang's mother, bowed and cupped his hands and said -
"This junior is Chunhua's husband. We have been married for a long time, but I have only come to pay my respects to my mother-in-law now. I hope my mother-in-law will forgive me."
Zhang's mother was shocked when she heard this.
She obviously didn't expect that her daughter would suddenly come back with her husband.
"Tiehua, why didn't you tell me in advance when you brought your husband back? It's so embarrassing for your mother in front of your son-in-law... Oh, it's so embarrassing."
As Zhang's mother spoke, she stepped forward and found Yan Wulu through the roughly blurry figure.
She took the other person's hand and said, "A good son-in-law doesn't need to be so polite. Come inside quickly and sit down to chat."
Yan Wulu also responded to Zhang's mother with a smile.
Mother Zhang was very satisfied and happy...
Yan Wulu helped Zhang's mother back to the back room.
Zhang Chunhua lagged behind slightly, her heart was actually very turbulent just now——
"The Crown Prince actually... calls himself his husband. That is a title that only the Crown Prince and his concubine are qualified to possess."
"...and the prince respects his mother so much and elevates her position so high, is it because he values Chunhua in his heart?"
Zhang Chunhua thought about it, and for a moment he giggled a few times just like Qiuyue in the past.
As for Yan Wulu...
He obviously didn't think so much in his mind.
For Zhang’s mother, it’s just out of instinctive respect.
He never cared about titles.
…
The three of them talked in the inner room.
Yan Wulu took out the gift he had brought for Zhang's mother, which was a thousand-year-old ginseng packed in a brocade box, a great tonic.
Originally he wanted to use it to replenish Zhang's mother's health, but Yan Wulu looked at the strength Zhang's mother used when he beat Zhang Chunhua... and thought that it might not be needed.
There is also a small box of gorgeous and dazzling gems, all of which are also valuable.
Although these things were prepared in a hurry before leaving the palace, they were far inferior to the expensive gifts carefully prepared by the carriages and carriages of the etiquette officials the last time they went to the Jiang family.
But Zhang Chunhua obviously doesn't care about this...she values the crown prince Yan Wulu himself more.
And Zhang's mother knew nothing about the Jiang family.
Not long ago, she found out from Zhang Chunhua's daily family letters that her daughter was married.
Moreover, I also know that it is only a side room.
At that time, it was Zhang Chunhua who was asked first by Zhang’s mother...
Except for a small number of maids who worked as maids in the Zhenbei Palace, who voluntarily stayed in the palace or were promoted to palace ladies, most of the rest were released from the palace and regained their freedom after turning 18 years old.
Zhang's mother knew that her daughter was also turning eighteen.
I want her to return home and arrange a marriage for her.
My daughter is pretty and good-looking, and she is a person who has seen a lot of people in the palace. She might even be able to marry into a good family in Yanbei City.
But he was told by his daughter that he was already married.
Zhang's mother wrote a letter at that time asking Zhang Chunhua to bring her husband back for a visit.
After all, even if she is just a side wife, she is still a wife after all, and she should go back to her parents' home.
As a result, Zhang Chunhua never replied...
Zhang's mother was disheartened at the time. She guessed that her daughter had been attracted by some young master and had become a concubine, or had married a girl. So she had no face and was not qualified to bring someone back.
But it’s only been a few days…
Today, Zhang Chunhua suddenly appeared in front of his house.
Zhang's mother had poor eyesight and could only vaguely see figures and paths, but could not see the details of the two people's faces.
For a while, the ugly appearance from before was gone.
...When the wise son-in-law doesn't pay attention, he will definitely hit this Chunhua with the cane again to vent his anger.
…
During the conversation, the three of them also talked about the Zhang family's house——
In fact, at the beginning, Zhang's mother and Zhang Chunhua arrived here for the first time. They were orphans and widowed. Although the folk customs in the suburbs of Yanbei were simple and there was a lot of help from the neighbors, the life of Zhang's mother and Zhang Chunhua was also very poor.
However, since a long time ago, probably after Zhang Chunhua entered the palace, the Zhang family has been receiving support from the Yamen of the Prefecture in Yanbei City for some unknown reason.
Zhang’s mother is not an ordinary ignorant peasant woman.
She also knows a few words, and she knows the kind of treatment that only family members of Zhenbei Army can enjoy.
And they usually have to be generals and lieutenants with a high rank, or soldiers who died in battle and entered the [Loyal Soul Pavilion].
Zhang Chunhua is a female streamer, so it is impossible for her to join the military camp.
Then... there is only one possibility, is it the heartless man? He did a good deed after all.
Perhaps before dying on the battlefield, he filled in the names of his family members as Zhang Mu.
Zhang's mother always thought so.
But actually...
It's because of Zhang Chunhua.
At that time, the young Zhang Chunhua already knew about her mother's hard work.
She originally wanted to use her young age, cuteness, precocity and stability to falsely report her age and enter the Zhenbei Palace as a maid.
But at that time, he was accidentally discovered by Ling Zhi, the secret agent on the street...
"Young girl has good bones, is smart, and has a clean background. Do you want to become a Zhenbei secret guard?"
"Zhenbei secret guard? Do you have money?"
"The Zhenbei secret guards are treated as if they were lieutenant generals."
"Uh... Lieutenant General?"
"Well... you have a lot of money. It's much more than being a maid in the palace. Moreover, the state government can also support your mother's life."
"Okay, I'll do it then."
As for later, Zhang Chunhua performed well in the Zhenbei secret guard system and ranked among the top three. Together with Qiuyue, he was selected as the most senior secret guard around the Prince of Zhenbei, disguised as a close maid.
It was also at this time that Zhang Chunhua was given the name Chunhua by the prince.
…
Later, Zhang Chunhua became the prince's concubine.
The county magistrate from the prefectural government office came to Zhang's house more diligently.
Recently, such a big house was sent to Zhang's mother for various reasons.
Although Zhang's mother refused in every possible way, she couldn't bear what the county master said, "This is the rule of the yamen."
Finally took it.
Chunhua often sent some money, but Zhang's mother couldn't use it all by herself, so she thought of the old lady Li who lived a similarly poor life.
In the past, when Zhang's mother and her young daughter arrived here for the first time, Mrs. Li also gave Zhang's mother and family a lot of food.
Mrs. Li is a strong person.
If you give her money for nothing, she won't want it.
So Zhang's mother spent some copper coins every day to ask Mrs. Li to help her clean the house briefly.
Not only did he give the old woman money, but he also allowed the old woman to accept it... and he could also feel more relaxed.
