"It's so sudden," Yingpan was a little surprised and said with a smile, "My wife is in such a hurry to leave. Is it because she's not used to staying or because the family didn't greet her well?"
"No." Madam Zhang shook her head with a smile, "Everyone is very nice to me, but..."
She had never given birth, but when she saw the little Ren Zhan, she was filled with maternal love. Of course she hoped to stay and grow up with her child.
It's just that if she stays here, she can only be Ren Zhan's nanny.
In such a large Ning Prince's Mansion, there are many people like her. It can be said that one more person is not too much, and one person less than her is not too much.
However, there is always a shortage of military doctors in the fortress, and all of them are precious.
Only when she returns to the fortress can she play a greater role.
Mrs. Zhang compared her left and right, and although she was reluctant to leave, she still decisively chose to leave.
Ying Pan understood, but the smile on his face became even wider.
whee.
She smiled mysteriously and said, "It just so happens that my grandmother was chatting with me about this matter yesterday. It seems that she wants to ask the lady for something."
"Why don't you, Madam, go to the Zhenguo Palace to talk to her first and see what grandma has to say?"
"That's fine." Mrs. Zhang nodded in agreement.
Funny to say, as a fortress military doctor, the Duke's Mansion was originally the place where she should stay.
As a result, since Yingpan returned to Xingji City, Madam Zhang has been following Ren Zhan almost all the time.
Except for occasionally going over to check Princess Yiguang's health, most of the time she stayed here in Prince Ning's Mansion.
If they hadn't mentioned it now, both of them would have almost forgotten about it.
Yingpan was not a person who could sit still, so she raised her head and looked at the sky.
"The time is just right. Let's go to grandma's house for dinner."
"Your Majesty..." Mrs. Zhang couldn't laugh or cry, and finally she hugged Ren Zhan and went out together.
Prince Ning's Mansion and Zhenguo Gong's Mansion are not very close to each other, and they have to pass through the bustling Xuanwu Street in between.
When people shopping saw a group of unique guards suddenly appear on the street, and they strictly guarded the gorgeous carriage in the middle, they knew that Princess Ning was out again.
In this direction, 90% of the time it's going to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion.
They were not surprised and hid on both sides to make way.
When they arrived at Yong'an Hutong, the gatekeepers of the Zhenguogong Mansion opened the gate from a distance without having to inform them, and happily welcomed the car in.
Back house, main hall.
Princess Yiguang was checking the homework of her great-grandchildren. When she heard the noise coming from the front yard, she curled her lips in disgust.
"Didn't this girl just come here yesterday? Why is she here again today?"
"I don't mind running around all day long."
"Your Highness," Linlang next to him chuckled: "In that case, I will go out and tell the princess and the young prince to let them go back."
"Zhan'er is here too?" Princess Yiguang was overjoyed. She gave the female officer a fierce look, "Why don't you let them in quickly!"
Before he finished speaking, Ying Pan's sweet voice sounded.
"Hehe, grandma, who are you going to let in?"
Mrs. Zhang, who was holding Ren Zhan in her arms, walked a few steps quickly and bowed: "My subordinate, Mrs. Zhang, has met Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. I wish Her Royal Highness good health and good fortune."
"Hey, you're here too, sit down."
At this time, Ren Zhan happened to wake up. The old man and the young man were no strangers to each other, and they happily got together and played happily.
The play lasted for more than half an hour, until the little guy got tired of playing, and then abandoned Princess Yiguang and crawled out unsteadily.
Jixiang hurried over and took him away, and the main hall gradually became quiet.
"Grandma, Madam, she..." While Madam Zhang was inspecting Princess Yiguang, Yingpan told her that she wanted to return to Yanchi Fortress as soon as possible.
"So that's it..." Princess Yiguang understood.
She neither nodded nor shook her head, but changed the subject: "You have been in Star City for almost half a year."
Mrs. Zhang kept moving her hands and nodded: "Back to Your Highness, I arrived at Xingji City in early December last year. It is already May, and it is indeed almost half a year."
Um.
Princess Yiguang nodded, "Xingji City is in chaos these days. You are either in my house or Panpan's house. It's really hard."
"Your Highness is serious." Mrs. Zhang was startled and said with sincere fear: "This is all a matter of my subordinates. And compared to the fortress, Xingji City is not only prosperous but also not dangerous at all."
"In addition, even though my subordinate is from a humble background, I am treated like my own family by the two houses. It seems that if it weren't for the lack of military doctors in the fortress, I might not be willing to leave."
She murmured: "If it is possible in the future, I would be happy to come back and continue living with His Highness, the Empress and the Crown Prince. It's just..."
Princess Yiguang raised her hand to interrupt her, "In that case, Madam, you must not have looked at the scenery around Xingji City carefully during this period. Linlang..."
The female officer stood up and said, "Your Highness."
"Tomorrow, take Madam Zhang to take a closer look at Xingji City and its surroundings."
"yes!"
Mrs. Zhang was at a loss. She turned around and saw Yingpan smiling and nodding towards her, so she had to silently swallow the questions in her stomach.
The next day, Linlang really took Mrs. Zhang around Xingji City.
Compared with masters like Yingpan, who always go out with a carriage and a dense crowd of guards, the two of them can be described as a light carriage and a simple horse. At first glance, they look like an ordinary mother and daughter going on an outing together.
Turning around, the two of them unknowingly left the city gate and arrived at the southern suburbs.
Looking up, I saw a large number of refugees gathered outside the city gate as always. They were all dressed in blue and green and skinny, staring bitterly at the people entering and exiting the city gate.
well.
Mrs. Zhang sighed secretly, not surprised at all.
Before her husband went to the fortress to join the army, she was once one of the refugees in front of her.
These people come from all over the world, and most of them do not want to become beggars.
It's a pity that I have no sense and I have seniors and juniors, so I can only keep an eye on the merchants coming and going, hoping to get a daily job from these people so that I can earn a meager income and provide some change for the family. Food to eat.
Mrs. Zhang's and Mrs. Zhang's clothes are not luxurious but not shabby either. The most important thing is that they are both women. The coolies outside the city gate were disappointed and looked away.
"Miss Wang," seeing Linlang continuing to walk forward, Mrs. Zhang quickly called her to stop her.
"Although this place is close to the imperial capital, neither the patrol camp nor the Jingzhaoyi Mansion can reach it or are too lazy to take care of it. There are many refugees in front of us. If it is not necessary, we should not go forward."
Linlang smiled slightly, "Madam, don't worry. In fact, we are not alone. We are surrounded by government guards."
"Furthermore," she raised her hand and pointed forward, "near the canal pier in front, the Ling family caravan has a business point to allocate work to these people, so this is actually our territory."
Mrs. Zhang understood.
But after living in the fortress for a long time, she was used to keeping secrets, and usually kept her mouth shut unless necessary.
Since Linlang didn't say the purpose of her trip, she continued walking behind him.
The refugee gathering areas or slums in the southern suburbs cover a vast area, and the situation becomes more serious as you go outside.
Not long after, Mrs. Zhang saw several refugees with sallow faces and thin muscles, moving forward slowly while holding on to the wall, not knowing what they were going to do.
"These people..." Madam Zhang couldn't help but speak as she was a doctor by nature, "Some of them are hungry, and some are seriously ill. We can't delay it any longer."
Well!
Linlang nodded, "The Duke's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion have free medicine shops in front. They should go to see a doctor."
"That's right." Mrs. Zhang was overjoyed, "Let's go and have a look."
