Being a Lady of an Influential Family

Chapter 578: Jing. You (1) Zhang Jingzhi x Yu Xinyou

  Chapter 578 Jing You (1) Zhang Jingzhi x Yu Xinyou

  For Zhang Jingzhi, his life can be divided into two distinct parts, with the decline of the Zhang family as the dividing ridge.

  In the first thirty years, Zhang Jingzhi was a prince from a family of officials and officials. The Zhang family has always been the center of power as officials for generations, and is a true family of nobles. And Zhang Gongzi has been smart and judicious since he was a child, handsome and elegant, and he is second to none in the entire capital.

  The first thirty years of Zhang Jingzhi’s life were unbelievably smooth. Grandfather and father became prime ministers of An Xia before and after. He said unceremoniously that in the capital Zhang Gongzi was more prestigious than Xiao Yiran, who was the prince.

  But Zhang Jingzhi himself is not very satisfied with this kind of life. He always feels a little inadequate, but besides following the established trajectory of life, there seems to be no better choice.

  Zhang Jingzhi certainly doesn’t do things that don’t want to leave her good family background and run out to ask for trouble. Smart people are always better at using their own advantages.

  It is not only that Zhang Jingzhi feels inadequate, but also Zhang Bi, the prime minister of An Xia, his father, has many worries about his son.

  Occasionally, Zhang Bi will look at his son, his eyes are both proud and a little bit worried.

  If it is a peaceful and prosperous age, Zhang Bi has no doubt that his son will one day ascend to the pinnacle of power and his name will go down in history. But born in such a world, Zhang Jingzhi's personality is actually not very advantageous. In the troubled times, neither the Qianqian gentleman nor the resourceful noble son is enough to make Zhang Jingzhi stand at the forefront of this era.

  What this era really needs is a hero who can change the world.

   People like Fu Fengcheng, Long Yue, Song Lang.

  People in this era only follow heroes and are more willing to make heroes.

  Fu Fengcheng Long Yue and people like Fu Fengcheng and Long Yue can meet each other to run, laugh, swear, and fight each other, or even fight, but in the face of Zhang Jingzhi, they will only call Zhang Gongzi politely.

  This is the difference, politeness itself is a kind of alienation.

  It is actually difficult for a noble prince like Zhang Jingzhi to enter the social circle of these handsome men who are fighting and holding the military power on the battlefield.

  However, Zhang Bi did not wait for this hidden worry to become a stumbling block on his son’s journey, because Zhang’s family collapsed before then.

  Because of Zhang Zuo's relationship, even if Zhang Jingzhi and Zhang Bi tried their best to turn the tide, Zhang's family was inevitably pushed out of the center of power. The best result was nothing more than keeping a family safe. Zhang Zuo disappeared, Zhang Bi resigned, Zhang Huizhi went south to study, and Zhang Jingzhi sat on the bench in Beijing.

  The Zhang family did not fall behind, and Zhang Jingzhi's time in the capital was not as sad as outsiders thought. In addition to going to work step by step every day, he reads in the study and thinks about his future.

  The change in the attitude of outsiders is also a new kind of experience and growth for Zhang Gongzi, who has been precious since childhood.

  Until one day, he finally knocked on the door of his father's study.

   "Father, I want to go to Yongcheng." Zhang Jingzhi stood in the study and said to Zhang Bi who was sitting behind the desk.

  Zhang Bi raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not reject Zhang Jingzhi’s thoughts, "Are you sure?"

  Zhang Jingzhi nodded and said, "Yes."

  Zhang Bi asked: "Tell me your opinion, why did you choose Fu's house?"

  Zhang Jingzhi, "In my opinion, the Fu family has the best chance of winning, and now only the Fu family can accommodate me."

  Zhang Bi was silent for a moment, and said, “The four northern provinces and the northwest may not be bad. Long Xiao and Song Ye will still give me this face.”

  Zhang Jingzhi shook her head and said, "Father, this time I want to go by myself. Governor Long and Governor Song will indeed give me a position in your face, but you also understand that I have very limited choices."

Zhang Bi raised his head and stared at him, "Then you should also understand that with the current situation of the Zhang family, you won’t get a good position if you go to Yongcheng. Fu Zheng and his son are indeed worthy of tolerance, but The six southern provinces themselves are talented people in large numbers, and they can’t let you take the place of an important position as soon as you go. Maybe then you will be no different from sitting on a cold bench in the capital. Besides...you are really ready to do things under Fu Dashao’s hands. ?"

  Zhang Jingzhi certainly understands what his father meant. Not long ago, the young master of the Zhang family was still on the same level as the young master of the Fu family. Now I have to travel all the way to other people's turf to discuss life. The psychological gap in this can be imagined.

  Zhang Jingzhi smiled, "Father, I want to be clear. Besides... I don't want to go to Dujun Fu and Shao Fu."

  Zhang Bi frowned slightly, "Then what do you mean?"

   "Mrs. Fu Shao."

  Zhang Bi really changed his face this time, "What did you say?"

  Zhang Jingzhi sighed, "Father, no matter where I am in the last ten years at least, I will not be reused. No one wants to see the Zhang family rise again, and no one wants to see another one out of the Zhang family..."

  Zhang Jingzhi swallowed the name on her lips, and continued: "Mrs. Fu Jiashao is not the same, she is not so sensitive around her, and I think...she shouldn't mind this."

  Zhang Bi took a deep breath, "What can you do with her? I know Mrs. Fu Shao has a lot of property in her hands. Are you going to be her accountant?"

It's not that Zhang Jingzhi is not as heavy as his father, and smiled lightly, "I can't do much in the past few years anyway. I have been in the capital since I was born, and I am so pampered that I can't eat the fireworks. Take this opportunity to go to the bottom. It’s okay to look at it. Father, our Zhang family is not born noble, just treat it as...start again."

  This time Zhang Bi was silent for a longer period of time, and finally sighed, "Fall, after all, it was the Zhang family that delayed you. Now that you have decided, you can decide by yourself."

   "Thank you father. My father was wrong, and the Zhang family has not been delayed. Where is Zhang Jingzhi without the Zhang family?" Knowing that his father agreed, Zhang Jingzhi was also slightly relieved.

   "I really don't need me to talk to Fu Zheng?" Zhang Bi asked again.

  Zhang Jingzhi shook her head, "This little thing, don't bother Supervisor Fu."

"then you go."

   "Yes, father." Zhang Jingzhi turned around to exit the study, and when she walked to the door, she heard Zhang Bi's voice behind him, "Jingzhi, do you really know where your second uncle went?"

  Zhang Jingzhi turned her head and looked at her father, with a slight smile on her lips, as if she was somewhat apologetic, "Sorry father, I really don't know."

  Zhang Bi sighed long, "Go ahead, be careful when you go out."

   "I know, thank you father."

  Zhang Jingzhi walked out of the study, stood under the eaves and looked up at the sky, suddenly a weak and beautiful but strong figure flashed in her mind.

  More than a heart.

  It seems that she also went to Yongcheng.

  Zhang Jingzhi doesn't really want to see Yu Xinyou, he believes that Yu Xinyou has similar ideas.

  Although they have known each other since they were young, Zhang Jingzhi has always regarded Yu Xinyou as a younger sister who needs to be taken care of.

but now……

  It is always a bit awkward to meet two people who know each other's true colors and secrets.

  Young Master Zhang still needs to walk around the world in his elegant and noble image.

  Yu Xinyou also needs to maintain the appearance of her weak, strong but harmless daughter in front of her father.

  Except for a very small number of people, no one knew that they all harbored murderous intentions, and in the end they really stabbed their relatives and teachers with the killing blade.

   Zhang Jingzhi went south to Yongcheng very smoothly, and it is a very pleasant thing to cooperate with Leng Sa.

  He became a pivotal person around Leng Sa in a short period of time. Of course, this re-use was probably a joke in the eyes of those former old friends in the capital. Young Master Zhang was reduced to the Fu family and managed the property for Mrs. Fu Shao. How could he not let people be embarrassed?

  During his stay in Yongcheng, Zhang Jingzhi had hardly seen Yu Xinyou. It was already the summer of the second year of Daxia when they met again to talk.

  In the summer of the second year of Daxia, Zhang Jingzhi attended Long Yue’s wedding and was ready to return to Jiazhou.

  Because of the war in the northwest and southwest of the previous two years, Jiazhou, as a transit point for various materials, and Zhang Jingzhi as the main person in charge of this central operation, once again entered the eyes of many people.

  Although Zhang Bi’s help and guidance are indispensable, Zhang Gongzi’s ability is obvious to all. Sometimes it’s even harder to get the logistics of the entire battlefield to work than to win a battle.

  After the war, Zhang Jingzhi did not take the opportunity to return to officialdom, but still retreated to become the general manager of the Fu Group.

  The war in the northwest was basically settled at the end of last year, but Jiazhou’s status has not been lowered but has become heavier.

  The original Jiazhou area and the entire southwest area were not divided by each family. Instead, a new area at least nominally attributable to the Beijing Daxia government was formed. As the commercial and logistics center of this region, Jiazhou has naturally become more important.

   Therefore, Leng Sa set up a branch in Jiazhou, Zhang Jing, one of the people who has several jobs, must frequently travel between Jiazhou and Yongcheng.

  After attending Long Yue’s wedding this time, Zhang Jingzhi did not return to Yongcheng. After sending his sister on the train back to Yongcheng, he boarded the direct train to Jiazhou.

   "Shao Zhang?"

   "Miss Yu?"

  Zhang Jingzhi stepped into the first-class carriage and saw Yu Xinyou sitting at the table and drinking tea leisurely. Yu Xinyou was obviously also a little surprised. After a while, he slowly put down the tea cup and smiled at Zhang Jingzhi.

  Zhang Jingzhi: "Ms. Yu is going to Jiazhou or the Northwest?"

  Yu Xinyou smiled and said, “Going to Jiazhou, my studies have been completed ahead of schedule, and I just got a new job.”

   "I thought Miss Yu would return to the capital." Zhang Jingzhi walked to the opposite side of Yu Xinyou and sat down. After all, Yu Chengyi is now the president, and Yu Xinyou's return to the capital is much more convenient than outside.

   Yu Xinyou said: "I also thought that Zhang Shao would return to the capital."

  The two looked at each other for a while, and they were speechless. After a moment of silence in this slightly embarrassing atmosphere, the two men laughed at the same time.

  Yu Xinyou sighed lightly and said, "Actually, we don't need to be so unfamiliar, right?"

  Zhang Jingzhi thinks about it and finds it a bit funny. They have known each other for at least ten years, but they call each other the strangest kind.

   "You are right, so... can I call your name?"

  Yu Xinyou stretched out her hand generously and smiled, "Of course it can, quietly, please take care of me in Jiazhou in the future."

  Zhang Jingzhi stretched out her hand and shook her, and looked at Yu Xinyou somewhat unexpectedly, "Xinyou, you seem to be very different from before."

   Yu Xinyou asked, "Where is it different?"

  Zhang Jingzhi said, "Looks...more energetic." Yu Xinyou looked too weak in the past, which always made people worry about whether she would break when she touched it.

Yu Xinyou said, "Old Huan gave me some medicine again, although I still have to take the medicine regularly, but my health has really improved a lot in the past two years, otherwise my dad would not worry about me being out alone. After running a lot outside, it is not that easy to get sick. Speaking of which, Jingzhi has also changed a lot."

  Zhang Jingzhi was a little curious, "Oh? Where did I change?"

   Yu Xinyou thought for a while, and smiled, “Maybe it’s become more... approachable, right? It doesn’t have the sense of distance that it used to be, and it’s more like a living person.”

  I chatted and waited for the train to start, but the embarrassment I thought did not appear.

  The atmosphere gradually became a lot more relaxed. The train slowly pulled out of the station. The topic of Zhang Jingzhi and Yu Xinyou had changed from their two years of life and work to Long Yue and Jun Xi’s gossip.

   Both expressed their amazement at the speed at which Long Shao embraced the beauty, and their “worries” about the future of Jun Xi, who seemed a little innocent.

  Married to Long Yue, a man with a deep intention, the future of Teacher Jun Xi is probably different from what she imagined.

  Amid the rhythmic croaking, the long train headed towards Jiazhou in the bright sunshine.

    la la la~ Zhang Jingzhi and Xinyou are coming~ this will not be long, and I will briefly explain about Huizhi~
